My short video leads to ancient times, and the ancients break the defense!

Wei Qing and his hawks' speeches were deafening, and even Liu Che expressed great surprise at this.

You must know that Wei Qing has always been a very stable person in Liu Che's heart, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Che is relieved to hand over the army to Wei Qing and let him coordinate the Han army and the Northern Expedition against the Huns.

But now Wei Qing actually said that he could completely exterminate the Huns, which really subverted the image of Wei Qing in the past.

However, Liu Che is more curious about why Wei Qing has a soft spot for potatoes.

"Wei Qing, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Qing also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly considered his tone, and explained to Liu Che:

"Your Majesty, the reason why I did not go north to occupy the Xiongnu grassland is actually a big reason because the grassland land, although the water and grass are abundant, is not suitable for growing wheat and rice. "

"If the people cannot survive, they will not be able to build cities or strongholds. "

"But potatoes are different!"

"Potatoes are drought and cold resistant, and can be grown on the grassland, so for my Han, the grassland is fertile soil. "

"We are mainly agricultural, although we can't graze on the grassland, we can grow potatoes on the grassland. "

"As long as these lands can grow food, then for my Han people, the grassland will become fragrant and sweet. "

"The Han has a population of 10 million, and it is still growing, but the land is limited, and many Han people have no land and can only be tenants. "

"If the land is allotted, even if it is grassland land, as long as it can grow food, these people will flock to it. "

"As long as they take root in the steppe and the steppe Huns dare to attack, they will use knives to play with these Huns. "

"At that time, Han cities were built in the grassland, taking care of each other, constantly silking the territory of the Huns, and sooner or later, we could wipe out the Huns. "

The more Wei Qing spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen the scene of killing the Xiongnu and the Han occupying the grassland.

And Liu Che's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, until later, he even let out a hearty laugh:

"Hahaha, good, worthy of the general I value!".

"With potatoes, the grassland is no longer a bitter cold place for my Han, but a treasure land of feng shui that can produce a lot of food. "

"In this way, the place captured by our Han army is the place where our Chinese people can survive. "

Dongfang Shuo was a little worried and asked

"Your Majesty, in the bitter cold land of the Mobei grassland, can potatoes really be grown there?"

"You know, even the pasture grass that is native to Mobei will wither in the cold winter. "

Wei Qing replied categorically

"Absolutely. "

"Guys, have you forgotten the cherry blossom-scented potatoes?"

"Siberia is colder than Mobei, but those Japanese slave captives were still pulled by the Soviets to grow potatoes, which shows that the cold tolerance of potatoes is far beyond our imagination. "

Speaking of Siberian potatoes, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.

After all, the cherry blossom-flavored potatoes are really memorable.

"But the question is, how do you get these potatoes?"

Huo Quzhi asked the most critical question.

"Your Majesty, I would like to take someone to the Americas and bring back the potatoes to Your Majesty!"

The person who spoke was Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to bring back the information of the Western Regions for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also officially opened the curtain of the Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu, which can be described as a high degree of hard work.

Now Zhang Qian saw that potatoes were so important to Dahan, and took the initiative to ask Ying again, hoping to go to the Americas and bring back potatoes for Dahan.

Liu Che looked at Zhang Qian, whose face was full of vicissitudes, and slowly shook his head.

Zhang Qian has been to the Western Regions for more than ten years, and he has suffered enough, and when he goes to the Americas, Liu Che is worried that his body will not be able to bear it.

"I have my own plans for this matter, so you don't have to worry. "

"When the warship is completed, we will conquer Wajima first, and then set off from Wajima, maybe it will be closer to the Americas. "

"Your Majesty. "

...

Da Ming, Hongwu plane.

"Sweet potato?Luzon ??!".

As an authentic farmer, Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a high-yield grain, how could he hold back his excitement.

"Liu Bowen, is Luzon the small country across the sea from our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang actually doesn't care about the surrounding countries, he feels that his Ming Dynasty is completely self-sufficient, so he feels that external countries are dispensable.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ban the sea, on the one hand, it can reduce the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and on the other hand, it is to make the Ming Dynasty self-sufficient.

Now that he heard that Luzon actually had a thousand catties of grain per mu, he instantly wanted to go to Luzon and grab all this grain.

This kind of immortal seed, only the people of the Ming Dynasty are qualified to plant, and letting those Luzon people plant it is simply a tyrannical thing.

As for the corn and potatoes in the Americas, it's not that he doesn't covet them, but that the place is too far away and he really doesn't know how to grab

them

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Liu Bowen nodded affirmatively, "Superior, it is indeed Luzon." "

"According to the navigation map left by the previous dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty should not be very far from my Ming Dynasty, but there is an ocean in the middle, and if you want to arrive, you must have a big ship. "

"Boats, we have them!!".

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the warships rewarded by the immortals, he thought that these warships were used to kill the Japanese slaves.

As a result, it was now discovered that this kind of warship was clearly used for himself to rob the immortal seeds.

"Let's go south, go to Luzon, and get all those sweet potatoes back!!".

"If the grain that yields 1,000 catties per mu is popularized in our Daming, will the people of Daming still be hungry?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to make a big move again, Zhu Biao hurriedly dissuaded him and suggested:

"Father, it's better to send an envoy to Luzon first, and let Luzon supply this sweet potato to my Ming Dynasty. "

"In this way, wouldn't it be better for me to get sweet potatoes without much effort?"

"Biao'er, you're thinking too simply. "

Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed and preached:

"This sweet potato yields thousands of catties per mu, which is the foundation of the country, and if you want to be strong, this sweet potato is a must. "

"Then how could Luzon hand it over so easily?"

"When our Ming Dynasty was established, Luzon also sent envoys to our Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, but they did not offer sweet potatoes. "

"It can be seen that Luzon is a wolf ambition at all, and he does not regard my Ming Dynasty as the suzerainty at all. "

"Rather than asking for no result and arousing Luzon's vigilance when the time comes, it is better to send troops south first, take Luzon by surprise, and grab the sweet potatoes in your hands. "

"As long as there is this thing, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will really come!".
