Chapter 388 Sailing

An atmosphere of war was ignited in the Jinshen Palace. I don’t know whether it is too exciting to recreate the rule of three generations, or even far exceed the rule of three generations. This is the highest pursuit of all dynasties. Or is it that the ginseng yielding ten thousand kilograms per acre is too attractive?

force.

In short, everyone in this royal palace, from the king to the ministers, seemed to have turned into a war madman, all they could do was shout a declaration of war on France, Portugal, Spain, and Germany!

Xia Yuan really wanted to pinch their people one by one to make them be more sensible and calm down.

By the way, did you listen to me?

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, please calm down." Xia Yuan spoke, and raised his tone again, almost shouting: "In fact, if you want to obtain this thing, you don't need to go to such great lengths to fight!"

This shout was like thunder on the ground, circling and echoing in the Jinshen Hall with amplification effect. Suddenly, all the monarchs and ministers present fell silent.

Then everyone looked at him.

With so many eyes focused on him, Xia Yuan did not give in and said directly: "Your Majesty, I just said that this potato was obtained from the Franji Kingdom. In fact, even this sweet potato is also the same. Both of them are

From the same place."

"Where?"

"I don't know what to call it. I only heard that this is a place farther west than the country of Taixi. It is probably 20,000 miles away from my country, the Ming Dynasty, and it is at the end of the sea."

"There is a land there that is no less than or even far greater than my Ming Dynasty land. There are all kinds of magical crops on it. In addition to sweet potatoes and potatoes, there is also corn. It is said that the yield per mu of these crops is less, about several thousand kilograms. However,

Three crops a year."

"."

It weighs about several thousand kilograms, which is less than potatoes, but it can be harvested three times a year to make up for this.

Moreover, the name corn is much more elegant than the down-to-earth names such as sweet potato and potato. Is corn, corn, rice as beautiful as jade?

"Potatoes are as effective as ginseng. I'm afraid corn has the same effect, right?"

"this."

Xia Yuan couldn't answer it, so he held it in for a while and then said: "It is said that it can aphrodisiac."

"."

The eyes of some people present were bright. It was a good thing, and the name of corn was well deserved.

But those who have such thoughts are ministers who are around fifty years old. They think they can still save something, but those who are sixty, seventy, or even eighty or ninety are unmoved. At this age, even if they can improve their virility,

What's the use to them?

Even if it works, my physical strength can't keep up.

The eyes of the youngest Emperor Hongzhi here shone even more. He has been exhausted over the years and is really beyond his capabilities. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything.

But such things must not be exposed, so he coughed lightly, put away the light in his eyes, and said seriously: "The efficacy of corn is not as good as that of potatoes. Although it is useless to me, but in the world,

The common people are suffering from this unspeakable secret. If there is such a thing, it will be able to add another medicinal material to our Ming Dynasty."

Seeing through without telling the truth, Xia Yuan continued: "In addition, there are peanuts on this land that are rich in oil and can be used to refine oil, as well as fruits, vegetables, and dozens of kinds of crops.

Their respective effects are also things that have never been seen in our great world."

"And if we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, could reach this place, getting these crops would be as easy as picking something out of a bag."

"Why is this? Could it be that the people on the land you mentioned don't take good care of these crops?"

Xia Yuan shook his head, "It's not that it's not strict, but the people living in this land are all barbarians. They are very primitive and backward. Many of the weapons they use are made of stone."

"This is normal. They have all kinds of miraculous crops. They don't need to work to have food and clothing. They can grow food just by throwing it into the ground, and they can't finish it.

And they are not like the world occupied by our Ming Dynasty. There are deserts in the north, desert plateaus in the west, seas in the east, and miasma raging in the south. Only the central part is suitable for living.

It was the hard work and dedication of our Chinese ancestors that allowed us to have such a territory. But in the beginning, for example, during the Xia and Shang dynasties, there was only this point in the middle and only the two provinces we have today.

But they are all suitable for living there, with pleasant scenery and spring-like weather all year round. There is no need to go to great lengths to organize manpower to cultivate the land, and there is no need to compete with others for anything. All you need to do is sleep leisurely every day. After all, just sleeping is enough.

We have plenty of food and clothing, and we are isolated overseas with no external enemies, so it is like this."

"But it is said that after the Nafflangji people discovered this land, they wanted to take it as their own, massacred the residents there, and had established many strongholds, and crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes were also grown by them.

Got it there."

"Of course, these are what I have heard, but I think they must be true."

Xia Yuan once again reiterated that this was what he had heard, but the monarchs and ministers present ignored him and just fell into deep thought.

To be honest, although Xia Yuanyi boasted that there was something in the sky and nothing in the earth, they basically believed his boast. With the sweet potato as a persuasive crop in front of them, what he was talking about now

, there is no logical problem.

Imagine if there was endless food without labor, spring all year round, and no foreign enemies, everyone would sleep all day long, let alone develop any civilization.

In this way, it is almost like a savage living.

And this kind of place is isolated overseas. If someone discovers it, this land will be like a fairyland. It is very vast, bigger than the Ming Dynasty, and has all kinds of magical crops. The people on it are still unarmed and have no resistance at all.

If there is only a weapon made of stone with the power, then of course you will have the idea of ​​taking it as your own, which is even more reasonable.

"It's just that it's easy to get here to get this kind of crops, but the hard part is how to get there. This continent is extremely far away from our Ming Dynasty, 20,000 miles away, and blocked by oceans. It's extremely difficult to get here, even that Fo Langji is on the way.

Thousands of miles away, I am afraid that this kind of crops will have no chance to survive in our Ming Dynasty."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan let out a long sigh, a look of compassion was written on his face, and he almost squeezed out two tears.

Hearing his emotion, Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at him, feeling indescribably uncomfortable in his heart. It was 20,000 miles away and isolated overseas. How to reach this place would become a huge problem.

Even the country of Folangji is far away in the horizon, thousands of miles away. It is even more impossible to reach that country and have to fight with it to obtain crops such as potatoes and corn.

He felt that he was going to be depressed. He saw that the glorious Ming Dynasty was approaching before his eyes, but he could only hear it but could not see or touch it.

At this time, Zhu Youtang was very much like a philosopher. He sighed in his heart, why do you let me know this? I could have endured the darkness, but I happened to see the light again.

After being silent for a long time, he steeled himself and said with determination on his face, "Even if we don't have the opportunity to get these crops, our Ming Dynasty is bound to get them. What do you think?"

Liu Jian immediately agreed and said: "I think what your Majesty said is very true, but how to reach that continent is particularly difficult."

Li Dongyang also followed: "I don't know the location, and this place is like the overseas fairy island, indistinct and invisible. If you want to find it, how can you find it?"

At this time, Xiao Jing couldn't help but said: "Master Xia just said that the Sanbao Eunuch had arrived at this Folangji. If we can use the Sanbao Eunuch's chart to set sail and find this Folangji, then we can search for this Folangji again."

Wouldn’t it be much easier to live on an overseas fairy island?”
