When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 19 The Emperor and Empress Digging Potatoes

Zhu Ming patted Xu Da's shoulder and said, "Old Xu, you are too stubborn. You stuffed the glass shards directly into your arms. Aren't you afraid of having a caesarean section?"

"Such good colored glass cannot be wasted!" Xu Da said nonchalantly.

Old Zhu was very jealous, but he just wanted to maintain his image.

Sorry to fight over it.

Inside the outpatient department.

A howling sound was heard.

Old Zhu's face changed drastically: "Xiong Ying!"

Kick open the door.

"Xiongying, grandpa is here!"

Inside the house.

The syringe in Yan Luo's hand almost flew away.

The two-meter-tall guy swayed.

More than a head taller than Lao Zhu.

The body crackled.

"Medical trouble?"

"Master, I, Old Xu, am here!"

Xu Da then rushed over!

"Calm down, it's just an injection!"

Zhu Ming hurriedly stopped him.

"Xiongying was beaten to tears by this guy, you tell us to calm down!" Lao Zhu swore that if this happened in the Ming Dynasty.

I must let the strong man in front of me know what the wrath of an emperor is!
"What do you know? This is how vaccinations are done. We all have been through this since we were little!"

"Are you trying to fool me?" Old Zhu didn't believe it.

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door.

A woman in her thirties walked in holding the hand of a little girl about five or six years old.

Looking at Lao Zhu and the others curiously.

"Doctor Yan, I made an appointment with you this morning for my baby's vaccination!"

"Okay, I get it, stick your arms out!"

There was a little fear in the little girl's eyes, but she still bravely stretched out her arm.

Yan Luo picked up the syringe.

When Xiong Ying saw this, he couldn't help but hide behind Queen Ma.

Obviously, he was a little afraid of the syringe.

Lao Zhu and his companions were also observing secretly.

Doctor Yan inserted the needle into the little girl's arm and pulled it out after a few seconds.

"Okay, come back for the next shot in half a year!"

"Thank you doctor!"

The little girl didn't cry from beginning to end.

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were wide open.

After the two left.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Xiongying, were you like that just now?"

Zhu Xiongying blushed and lowered his head.

The little girl didn't say a word.

I was a boy, but I cried so hard.

I really can't hold my head up.

He replied in a mosquito-like voice: "Yeah, that's right!"

Now, Lao Zhu's face turned slightly red.

I know I made a misunderstanding.

The key point is that compared to the little girl, the grandson feels a little embarrassed.

"What a brave girl! If she were in the Ming Dynasty, she might become a powerful general!"

Leave embarrassedly.

"Is it like this everywhere here?" Lao Zhu asked curiously.

"Basically, it's like this. Starting from shortly after birth, you will be able to get some vaccines, and then you will be immune to some diseases in the future!"

"If everyone in the Ming Dynasty is vaccinated, will we no longer have to worry about smallpox?" Old Zhu said in surprise.

In ancient times, smallpox was extremely contagious and had a very high mortality rate.

There is almost no means of coping!

Every time it appears, it causes panic!
"That's the theory, but there aren't that many vaccines for you. Even if you wanted to buy them, you wouldn't be able to afford them!"

"We don't care, our sons and grandsons have to be vaccinated!"

"You are truly worthy of being a privileged class. We'll talk about this later!" Zhu Ming said sarcastically.

As a person who has made a comeback from the bottom of society, Lao Zhu attaches great importance to agriculture.

"I heard from you before that you own a lot of fertile land. Take me to have a look, so that I can see how you farm in your time!"

"I'm not bragging, when it comes to farming, I was also good at it when I was a kid!"

"No one in the surrounding villages can be better than us!"

"Let me give you some pointers, so you don't ruin the good farmland!"

Drive a few people to the farmland!
Zhu Ming said to Lao Zhu, "From here to the mountain in the distance, this area is all over!"

Looking at the mountains looming in the distance.

Old Zhu calculated secretly.

His face was ashen.

"Humph, I thought you were a good guy, but I didn't expect you to forcibly seize the people's land. This piece of land is probably tens of thousands of acres!"

"Tens of thousands of acres? You can add another zero to the end!"

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just multiply your tens of thousands of acres tenfold!"

When Old Zhu heard this, he got even angrier: "You are indeed a dog landlord. If it were Ming Dynasty, I would chop off your head!"

In today's Ming Dynasty, even the top nobles probably don't have so much land.

Even though these nobles occupied farmland, they did not dare to be too exaggerated.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu's guillotine will tell you why you have to replace it with a new one after a period of time!
Old Zhu walked to the farmland next to him.

His brows were furrowed.

"What the hell are they planting? Why don't they grow millet, sorghum, wheat, rice or other grains instead of these weeds?"

"What a dog landlord!"

"I'm going to chop you up today!"

As he spoke, Lao Zhu rushed over.

"Fuck, Lao Zhu, you must have taken the wrong medicine! I haven't paid you back for that kick just now!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he never exercised again.

He was pinned to the ground and beaten by Zhu Ming.

Zhu Biao and Xu Da, who were standing by, wanted to help, but were stopped by Empress Ma with a look.

"They are just playing around for a while, and they will stop when they are too tired!"

A few minutes later, Zhu Ming was out of breath.

"You know nothing. This is a potato, also known as a ground egg. Of course, it grows underground. It can be used as a staple food or a vegetable. Have you ever seen anyone grow grass so meticulously?"

"Potatoes? Do you think I'm ignorant? I've never heard of such a thing!" Old Zhu's face was full of doubt.

"Then there's a lot you don't know. I think you can recognize half of this farmland, even if you're well-informed!"

Lao Zhu was not convinced: "Okay, let's see for ourselves later!"

"You said these potatoes grow underground, dig them out and let us have a look!"

"I have never seen food growing underground!"

Zhu Ming walked over and picked up the potatoes.

There are several potatoes of different sizes hanging below.

Some are as big as a fist, and some are as small as an egg.

The next second, it was taken away by Lao Zhu.

He held it in his hand curiously.

Rub up and down.

Keep weighing it.

Suddenly his eyes widened.

"Good weight!"

After all, Lao Zhu really did farm the land.

Based on the weight of the potatoes in your hand, plus the density of planting.

Can make a rough estimate.

The yield per mu in the early Ming Dynasty was not high, only about 300 kilograms.

But Lao Zhu estimated based on the potatoes in his hand that there were almost more than two thousand kilograms!

"How can it be!"

"How could there be such a large amount of grain in the world? I don't believe it!"

Old Zhu's body swayed and he didn't care about the dirt on the ground.

His eyes were red and he kept digging in the ground like a mouse!
As old brothers for many years, Xu Da immediately knew what Zhu was thinking.

He leaped into the field.

Learn from Lao Zhu to dig the ground quickly with both hands!
The two men dug out potatoes one by one.

I dug up a small pile pretty quickly!

Zhu Biao, who was standing by, picked up a few potatoes and weighed them, and he couldn't stand anymore!
As a prince.

The grain yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty is still very clear!

He was even more worried about the food shortage in the Ming Dynasty.

Even during the Hongwu period, the number of people who starved to death every year was a horrifying number!

"With this amount, the yield per mu is probably unimaginable. I wonder if I am dreaming!"

Facts speak louder than words.

Zhu Biao also joined in!
Empress Ma and Xu Miaoyun were also well-informed, having been exposed to farmland since childhood.

Weighing the potatoes, calculating silently.

Soon, I was shocked by the estimated numbers.

Join in too!
"Xiong Ying, do you know what the biggest difference between humans and animals is?"

“They look different!”

"Wrong, it's humans who know how to use tools. Let your uncle show you how to dig potatoes in modern times!"
