I've already worn the same clothes, why did I still get caught and fucked?

Rosen directly told Zhu Houzhao what he knew.

Crops like potatoes, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes are all high-yielding crops. Rosen listed them one by one.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Do you have all these foods? Well, can I have a taste too?" Xiao Zhu said a little embarrassedly at this time.

"Hey, what's the big deal! Why don't you wait until tonight and I'll cook a meal for you right away." Rosen said nonchalantly.

However, he also knew what topic he could talk about with the prince. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, so people in this era are naturally most concerned about food.

So Rosen continued the conversation a little more deeply.

"Take potatoes for example, the yield per mu can be as high as 3000 kilograms. The same is true for sweet potatoes, which also have a similar yield!"

"How much? How much did you say?" After hearing this, Xiao Zhu stood up suddenly.

He had to be excited. The highest grain output of the Ming Dynasty was not even 1/10 of this amount. How could he not be excited?

But don’t ever think that Zhu Houzhao was an ignorant and foolish crown prince.

He knew very well how much the people cared about food. He had to know that, because his father kept muttering about this in his ears.

This made him very concerned.

It can be said that whether the people can have enough food to eat is the foundation of the country! How could Zhu Houzhao not care about this?

"Is what you said true?" Xiao Zhu, who was incredulous, still hoped to get a positive answer from Rosen.

Rosen nodded calmly, and said while eating: "Why would I lie to you? 3000 kilograms per acre is too little. If it is cultivated well, it may even double!"

hiss----

Xiao Zhu took a deep breath. He couldn't imagine what kind of crop could have such a high yield.

However, Rosen's next words were simply shocking.

"Not only that, sweet potatoes, oh, that is, sweet potatoes, are almost all valuable. Whether it is the stems or the leaves, they can all be used in cooking. Of course, people in our area usually use them to raise pigs."

Rosen became more and more excited as he spoke.

Only then did he realize how pleasant it was to teach what he knew to people of this era.

Afterwards, he told Zhu Houzhao what corn and pumpkin looked like, and also briefly talked about their yield per mu.

At this time, Xiao Zhu listened very carefully. Seeing him like this, Rosen did not take the Qiao, but directly took out the real thing.

This time, the prince of Ming Dynasty was really impressed. Pumpkins are so big! Although there are small ones, the big ones are really tempting.

The corns are actually grown one by one. Each one is full and smells delicious.

Rosen said that this could be eaten raw, so Zhu Houzhao took a bite without saying a word.

As I chewed it, a refreshing, tender, sweet and crispy feeling spread in my mouth.

Student Xiao Zhu was very excited.

He really didn't expect that this crop would have such a good taste. Just in terms of taste, it was definitely worthy of being put on the altar.

After bringing the potatoes up, Rosen didn't let him eat them raw. He also told him that ordinary potatoes were fine to eat, but sprouted potatoes were not edible.

Of course, Lawson had eaten sprouted potatoes before, but he only ate them after removing the sprouts.

He took out the sweet potatoes and put them directly into the fire to roast. After a while, Zhu Houzhao also smelled a fragrance. He was so greedy that he almost drooled again.

"In fact, we have quite a lot of food imported from outside. Aren't garlic, cucumbers, and rice all imported from other places?"

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was also stunned. "What do you mean these are from other places? Aren't they grown in our Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course not. They were all introduced gradually in the early days. They later adapted to the climate and environment here."

Rosen's words made Xiao Zhu think more. He looked at Rosen again. "So what do you think if we look for it in other places, can we find more good things?"

For Rosen, it was easy to get these things.

But Zhu Houzhao's question was undoubtedly from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, so Rosen also gave a positive answer.

He nodded directly. "Of course. In other countries, or on other continents, there are countless animals and plants, and they naturally have various uses. Some can be eaten, and some can even be used as medicine!"

Xiao Zhu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He felt that this made sense.

If we bring these good things from other places here, will the people of the Ming Dynasty be able to eat better and cure more diseases?

At this point, Xiao Zhu could no longer hold back his thoughts.

There has always been controversy in the Ming Dynasty over whether to open the sea.

Opening the seas allowed us to visit various countries and enhance the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but Zheng He's voyages to the West cost a lot of money and grain.

Therefore, many officials believed that such behavior was a waste of the Ming Dynasty's national strength and was completely a thankless task.

But now it seems that is not entirely true!

If you can find good things somewhere else, why not just bring them back?

If we could find even one of these excellent crops, the Ming Dynasty would make a fortune.

"You said that if we in the Ming Dynasty go to other countries, like the other continents you mentioned, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes wide and looked at Rosen with a curious look.

After hearing his words, Rosen did not answer immediately. After a short while, he nodded.

"If you mean political activities like Zheng He's voyages to the West, then it is indeed a waste of money. It is indeed worthy of recognition that it has extraordinary political significance, but if it is just a political aspect, then it is really a bit of a waste!"

Xiao Zhu's eyes widened, and he continued, "Tell me more!"

Seeing his interest, Rosen smiled. "Look, since we are establishing diplomatic relations with other countries, why not engage in commercial exchanges?"

"Business?" Xiao Zhu was unfamiliar with the term. Or perhaps the Zhu family was not very interested in business.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the Ming Dynasty, was extremely dislikeful of businessmen.

There were also explicit legal restrictions on the activities of merchants, such as merchants were not allowed to wear appropriate clothing.

It can be said that I don't have any favorable impression of the profession of businessman.
