Raw sweet potatoes are edible.
The taste is crisp and sweet.
Click now, now that it has been imported, Zhang Mao chewed it carefully, and it tastes good ...
But ... it tastes ... this is fruit?
It is also good if you can grow fruit like 30 stones in an acre of land.
The only bad thing, it seems that it can not be used as a staple food.
Just now ...
Thirty Stones ... Zhang Mao thought of this number, and his heart jumped violently, just before his anger, he was thrown out of Jiu Xiaoyun in a blink of an eye.
Fang Jifan seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Shi Bo, the most interesting thing about this sweet potato is that it can not only be eaten raw, but also cooked. If you mix it in rice porridge, you can relieve hunger . "
Can relieve hunger?
Zhang Mao is a straightforward man, and his eyes light up when he hears it.
So, isn't it ... can it be used as supplementary food?
If so ... this sweet potato with a yield of thirty stones means that Zhang Mao is in a daze.
Although he is a military general, would he not know the importance of food? Food is the lifeblood, a life-saving medicine! In this day and age, the consequences of any small disasters are immense.
Of course, Fang Jifan is more aware than Zhang Mao of what food means in this era of low productivity. People in later generations extolled and admired the most, and were known as the richest dynasty of Song Dynasty in history. In their Song history, there are still countless records of ‘year-old hunger, people eating each other’.
In Daming, with the advent of the Little Ice Age, a large number of natural disasters began to appear, not to mention.
The sweetness of this sweet potato is not to completely replace the staple food. This thing is eaten all year round. In fact, it is no different from eating yellow rice. Its importance is that once it encounters a famine, it can make people live, even if it is in In the good years, it is completely sufficient to replace this sweet potato with a part of the staple food.
With the land and population of Daming now, with this, it is possible to solve the problem of hunger, not to mention there are no potatoes in his hands? Potatoes are the real artifacts, because potatoes can completely replace staple food.
Without resolving hunger, Fang Jifan ’s historical knowledge is actually completely useless. What completely breaks the structure of the scholars, industry and commerce is a joke. In fact, many people think that this idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and commerce is related to Confucianism. Fang Jifan After studying a lot of Ming history, I don't think so.
Because this involves the relationship between chickens laying eggs and chickens laying eggs. In the era of Confucius, Confucianism did not deliberately discriminate against merchants. They basically belonged to the same. But later, why did they start to lighten business and emphasize agriculture?
In fact, it was nothing more than a confucian who was the only big one, according to the needs of the ruler, and formulated the light business thought.
The ruler's light on business is not because they are naturally discriminating against businessmen. In essence, it is nothing more than the rise of business, which will inevitably involve a large number of people, and countless people will work for businessmen. The country's strongest labor force is called by businessmen. As the population continues to increase, the land that has been carried has not increased. If you want to feed more people, you must require a large number of people to carry out intensive cultivation of the land, otherwise a disaster will come.
In fact, this era is the same. Even in medieval Europe, it is not much better. Under the condition of low agricultural production, their city size is small and pitiful. Until the potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced to Europe, a large number of laborers did not The farmland was freed and flooded into the city, so that after the food problem was solved, the nobles simply changed the farmland to pasture and raised sheep to obtain wool in order to develop business and obtain higher profits. Weaving.
Imagine that if there was no increase in grain production caused by potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the problem of hunger was almost solved, which idiot would turn this great farmland into a sheepfold?
Any doctrine has its basis in reality, and it is impossible for someone to suddenly hit the head and suddenly think that the whole world is willing to accept it.
Therefore, without solving the problem of food for the people, this problem of the peasantry, industry and commerce will never be solved.
Of course, Zhang Mao could n’t have Fang Jifan thought so far-reaching. It ’s just that Fang Jifan ’s words made him have to believe. After his own practice, he did n’t understand anything else. He only understood that this stuff was edible and he could relieve hunger It is also highly productive.
At this moment, he stared at Fang Jifan, puffed and gasped, and seemed to still feel that Fang Jifan's credit value was not high, so he turned his neck and stared at Zhang Xin with a murderous look, spit out two words: "Yes ?"
Asked something else, maybe Zhang Xin did n’t have much self-confidence, but once asked about farming, Zhang Xin had calmed down even when facing his father. He firmly said: "Yes, this sweet potato porridge, the son eats Yes, it tastes good and can really relieve hunger. "
"..."
This time, Zhang Mao was silent.
His son has not been very obedient recently, but he is still credible, at least much more credible than the kid who has no idea what his face is.
Zhang Mao was usually a very talkative person, but now, there has been no more silence.
He stood staring blankly, immobile.
Fang Jifan was frightened, so nothing would happen, don't do anything wrong, he hurriedly cried, "Shi Bo, Shi Bo ..."
Zhang Mao is like a sculpture, still motionless.
Fang Jifan stretched out a finger in surprise, trying ... to put it under Zhang Mao's nose.
Still angry.
Zhang Mao's eyes turned around, and then the big fan-like hand slapped Fang Jifan's shoulder.
Fang Jifan shuddered and turned to run, but Zhang Mao put his hands on his shoulders!
At this moment, Zhang Mao suddenly laughed in the sky: "Haha ... haha ​​... World nephew, what my old Zhang Zao said, I know you have a good future, great, young hero, I am Zhang Mao in this life You never misunderstood, you do n’t know, when you were still in your baby, I saw you, how did you tell your father the first sentence? Do you know? "
Fang Jifan's heart is furry, only knows to shake his head.
Zhang Mao laughed and said: "I said I looked at the colorful light faintly on you. This is the appearance of nobility. In the future, your old family will have to rely on you."
Fang Jifan was horrified and shook his head like a rattle: "Don't you dare, can't you dare, colorful light, colorful words, it's overused, too overused."
Colorful is too advanced, in this era, there are only seven colors, colorful light, that was sent by the emperor.
So Fang Jifan said firmly: "It's still colorful, if colorful, my little nephew feels at ease."
Zhang Mao couldn't wait to shoot a thigh: "Yes, it's colorful, so amazing, you know how many people you want to save ..."
Fang Jifan said with a frightened face: "I'm too much colorful."
Zhang Mao laughed: "Don't care about this. In short, this time your credit is not small, there are countless living people, go, and the old man will give you credit."
"Slow!" Fang Jifan said: "Actually, this time the credit is not small, it is Zhang Fubaihu."
Zhang Mao was stunned when he heard it.
His son's urinary nature is clear to him, and people are honest, but can he toss such a thing?
He looked at Zhang Xin suspiciously, but Zhang Xin looked at a loss.
Fang Jifan said seriously: "If it were not the deputy Hundreds of households who performed their duties with loyalty and took care of the sweet potatoes every day with the Tuntian office, the young nephew said what he shouldn't say. When he came out, Zhang Hundred and Hundred had both credit and hard work. Therefore, the young nephew was naturally willing to do his part, but Zhang Hundred and the people in the Tuntian Institute also contributed. "
One said, Fang Jifan is still very kind. After all, he only pointed out the direction and provided seedlings, but the other, ashamed, he really didn't make much achievements.
Zhang Mao was shocked and looked at Zhang Xin in disbelief.
Looking at the ragged look of Zhang Xin in the past, how he looked and how disgusted, but now, Zhang Mao is completely shocked! This is great merit ... great merit ...
His son also has a big contribution!
Zhang Mao's very real eyes lighted up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ even suddenly felt that the eyes were a bit wet, his mother, my son can also grow such credit for farming, and in a flash, tears fell ...
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and slapped his old face: "Xin'er, father is blind, blind ..."
When Zhang Xin saw his father for the first time, it was either a curse or a violent fight, but now he is not used to it.
Zhang Mao then laughed loudly again: "Okay, what did I say ..."
Zhang Mao immediately turned back,
"Don't mention it!" Fang Jifan couldn't help but want to cry. Besides, our Fang Jifan almost cut through the white snake, and when he came out of his mother's womb, there was a dragon circling in the sky, begging Shi Bo, give a way of life, I am still a child Ah: "Annunciation is important."
"Slow down." Wiping tears, Zhang Mao sighed. He pulled Fang Jifan aside and looked at Fang Jifan deeply.
Zhang Mao thought to himself, this is the nephew of Fang Xian deliberately wanted to give his son a credit, hey, how did you say it, this is a conscience person who saw it first, but since, You have a conscience, old man ...
He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Thirty stones, less, no less than one or two stones anyway, isn't it? Fortunately, it's better to pick up a few more stones, which is good, this is His Majesty Longyan Joy, Even if you want to check, if there are so many stones, who will be more accountable? Is n’t it better than nothing, listen to the old man, the nephew, and report thirty-six stone and a half. "
However, Fang Jifan was very sad, er, I have made a false report. Originally, the twenty-six stones were born and the thirty stones were born.
