The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

This tip used this to fool him, this is bullying him Fang Jifan has never seen the world.

Fang Jifan was unmoved, just laughing.

But this laughed, but it was a bit infiltrating. Xiao Fei immediately felt the pressure, and he knew it. These "babies" did not interest the Fang Baihu. This person is young, but he has seen the world. People, so the tip did not dare to neglect, he laughed again: "It is said that Fang Baihu is not in good health, the villain also brought ten thousand years of ginseng produced in our country"

After all, he solemnly took out a silk package from his arms. He looked cautiously as if he were treating a treasure. He opened the package gently and said: "This ginseng is extremely powerful and grows 10,000 It ’s not a small year, it ’s because the villain used three hundred and two golds to buy, and he also invited hundreds of adults to visit. "

The tip did not know that every time he said that he had brought 10,000 years of ginseng from the Western Region, Fang Jifan felt that his IQ was lifted to the ground by him, and then kept stepping on 11 thousand feet.

But Fang Jifan was also curious about what this so-called ten-year-old ginseng is.

When the layers of silk were uncovered, a gray thing was revealed, and Fang Jifan couldn't help staring at it curiously, but looked at this large piece of unremarkable thing, but was dumbfounded.

Xiao Fei smirked and carefully observed Fang Jifan's face.

Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark red ginseng. Where is this ginseng? This is cheating!

Fang Jifan understands the trick of tipping. It is nothing more than taking what Ming has not, and using glass to impersonate pearls and night pearls. The so-called ginseng is actually sweet potato.

But Fang Jifan took a sigh of relief.

How can grass holding be sweet potatoes!

This guy used sweet potatoes as ginseng and wanted to scam himself!

The question is, shouldn't the sweet potato be in America at this time? Such crops should not have spread during Hongzhi years.

So, how could it be in the hands of a business man, that the Europeans have now discovered the Americas, brought some crops, and then were bought by this big food merchant?

This is not impossible.

Fang Jifan closed his eyes and tried hard to remember in his mind. It is now 12 years of Hongzhi. That is to say, Columbus had already traveled to America seven or eight years ago. He first arrived in San Salvador in Central America and then returned to Europe Then, would this sweet potato come from San Salvador seven or eight years ago?

They brought sweet potatoes to Europe, obviously they did not realize the value of this thing. More often, they just used it as a proof from the new continent. Maybe they will plant sweet potatoes, but obviously, Europe must not have Treating it as a staple food, even Fang Jifan feels that it may be just a foil to show the glory of the great nautical, and its role is only for viewing.

This tip is obviously an Ottoman. This empire across three continents blocked the Silk Road, but it also often contacts with Europeans, especially the Venetians. It is not surprising that the tip brings it to the Ming Dynasty. Too.

His purpose was nothing more than to think that Daming did not have this thing, but precisely, although the sweet potato was dark red, it was similar in shape to the ginseng that the Han people admired. This fellow was a big flicker, thinking that such a rarity, as long as a button The hat of the ten-year-old ginseng can make people fooled.

Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Jifan with fright. He saw Fang Jifan's complexion obviously, and he only thought that Fang Jifan really thought it was a 10,000-year-old ginseng from the Western Regions, so he fluttered and said authentically: "This product is made by Osman On the holy mountain, it is rare to see it for a hundred years. It was taken from a cliff and has been growing for thousands of years. The people there called us the King of Samos. "

"Yeah" Fang Jifan stared at the sweet potato intently, saying: "It turns out that your country also has ginseng, admire, admire."

The tip smiled. Anyway, the Ming people obviously didn't understand this thing. To be honest, he didn't understand this thing very much. It was collected from a Venetian merchant. It was rare at the time. He had never seen it before. Daming's ginseng has a little bit of image. Doesn't this just take this opportunity to find someone to pick up the dish?

Anyway, no one knows this thing, of course, let yourself be fooled!

Xiao Fei said: "This is nature. Koreans have Korean ginseng. Why are there no ginsengs in the Western Regions? Hundreds of adults, in our house, only the royal family can enjoy this thing. Its extraordinary effect can match the ginseng. The medicine is more effective. "

Fang Jifan felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat.

He did n’t want to ignore this big flicker, but his only thought now is that this thing is really more powerful than the immortal medicine. Immortal medicine can really make a person live longer, but with this sweet potato, it can make hundreds of thousands Ten thousand people can survive.

Under the current conditions, ordinary rice, after only one year, is only harvesting two stones of rice, but on average, 400 kilograms, the yield of wheat in the north is worse, according to the record of He Jianzhi: , More than one stone of wheat per mu. 'That is to say, a young man who cultivates an acre of land can get more than two hundred pounds of wheat. Therefore, if a family wants to maintain food and clothing, if it does not cultivate thirty or fifty Acreage, this family of several people, I am afraid that it is difficult to bear fruit.

The rice production in the south is higher, but the height can be limited, but it is only four to five hundred pounds. One family, without ten acres of paddy fields, cannot survive if they want to.

This outrageously low output, and with the advent of the Little Ice Age, how to feed the tens of millions of people in Ming Dynasty, so the refugees began to appear. With the increasing number of refugees, under the internal and external troubles, this huge The empire will eventually collapse.

And now there are sweet potatoes.

Fang Jifan thought that in his lifetime, he might be able to exhaust his life's efforts and organize a fleet to arrive in the Americas to bring this baby, but it was unexpected that there was such luck, this Hu merchant actually brought it to himself.

There is nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes.

The great thing about sweet potato is that it is not only nutritious and can be used as a staple food, the most important thing is that the yield per mu can reach two thousand to three thousand kilograms. What is the concept, converted into a unit of measurement for Daming, this is two From ten to thirty stones, its output is ten times that of southern rice and twenty times that of northern wheat.

This is an artifact. Originally, 10 acres of land and 20 acres of land could feed a household, but now only one acre and two acres of land are needed. Naturally, the current varieties are definitely not as good as those of later generations. Three or five times more than the current rice and wheat, it is enough to shock the world and solve the most deadly problem of Daming now.

The status of scholars is superior to those of the industry and commerce. The reason for this is that there is excuse for it. But after the industry and commerce, it is also excusable. It is not the ancient people who are really lowly business. This is just **** blood drawn from countless social practices. The lesson is that when people ca n’t even eat enough food, to promote the so-called industry and commerce is itself a manifestation of fullness and support. If a dynasty is based on industry and commerce, a large number of people are absorbed into industry and commerce. But it caused the farmland to be barren and starved to the ground. Such a dynasty could not survive even thirty years.

But now this artifact appeared!

Fang Jifan tried his best to calm down his mood, and he should not show his voice. After all, this is just a sweet potato, can it sprout, can it be cultivated, can it finally take root here, but it is still early.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Jifan glanced at the Hu Shang before he said, "This is a ten thousand year old ginseng? How does this officer feel that you are lying to me?"

The tip was awkward in his heart. In fact, he didn't understand what it was. He only knew that the merchants of Venice were planted in the courtyard, saying that it was a rare thing from thousands of miles. It was originally dedicated to the king of Spain, and then the king rewarded him. Some of them were given to their own subjects. Some people felt that they were rare, so they cultivated it as an ornament. At first, they did n’t care about the tip. It was just the root of this thing. It looked like the ginseng that the Han people admired. So before coming to Daming He brought a lot, sealed it carefully with a brocade box, and covered it with oriental satin on top. Putting them together with the 'Night Pearl' and ivory, creating a luxurious and meteorological atmosphere, such a toss It really feels like a tens of thousands of years old ginseng.

This is derived from the original spirit of the Ottoman merchants, pay attention!

Fang Jifan resisted the heartbeat, exhaled, and asked, "Only this one?"

In fact, the tip brings hundreds of pieces, so you ca n’t worry about it. Anyway, the so-called longevity can not be verified on the spot as long as it does n’t eat dead people. It's just that along the way, most of the sweet potatoes have sprouted halfway, afraid that they can't be pretended, so they are all thrown into the sea, or else they are born with mold ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Pieces.

In fact, even if he still has, there must be only one of them killed. Ten-year-old ginseng, he is the same. Is it impossible to mention a bucket?

So he nodded decisively: "This thing is rare to see in a century, only this one."

"Master Ben wants it, do you want to do something? This is easy to say!" Fang Jifan is very real. This gift is more valuable than the gold 20,000 and the ten thousand years old ginseng in a house. This alone, Mo said Let Fang Jifan go for favoritism, even if Fang Jifan lit Zhu Houzhao's Zhan Shifu, he was happy.

"Deng Jian" Fang Jifan called out.

Hearing Fang Jifan's voice, Deng Jian quickly rushed in from the outside: "The villain is here."

Fang Jifan said: "Lead him to look for Yang's housekeeper, and ask Yang's housekeeper to repair one for my dad and do something. However," Fang Jifan looked at the tip with a thief: "As for whether it can be done, this is not easy to say. You know, my dad is a decent person. "
