Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's thoughtful look.

The Huaixi nobles, who were originally very excited and were about to make plans with Zhu Yunhuan for the future Northern Expedition, could only suppress their excitement for the time being.

Puzzled, he asked, "Your Majesty, the appearance of an auspicious sign is a cause of great joy. Why does Your Majesty seem to be hesitant?"

Hear the words of the Huaixi nobles.

Zhu Yunhuan withdrew his thoughts, a smile on his face again, and said, "No, no, I wasn't actually hesitating just now. It was your mention of 'army food and fodder' that suddenly reminded me of something."

Then someone immediately asked curiously, "May I ask what your Majesty is thinking about?"

Zhu Yunhuan paused.

Then he slowly asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think is the greatest benefit of our Ming Dynasty obtaining sweet potatoes?"

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's question.

Now it was the turn of the court officials and military heroes to look at each other in confusion.

It can be eaten, used as food to fill the stomach, and has a high yield per mu... These great benefits are what everyone has seen with their own eyes and tried personally.

It is well known.

Your Majesty, what kind of question is this? You're asking knowingly!

Therefore, although everyone had the answer in their hearts, they all fell silent for a moment. There was only a slight noise and commotion in the crowd, but no one spoke to answer Zhu Yunhuan's question.

After three or two breaths.

Then someone honestly replied, "Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are enough to satisfy your hunger. They have a high yield per mu, so we can grow a lot of grain in a year. The people will be well fed, and the Ming Dynasty will become prosperous and peaceful."

The focus of the dukes and marquises, and the military heroes, of course, is still on fighting.

Someone then stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, haven't we already mentioned the greatest advantage? In war, there's no need to worry about lack of food and fodder!"

The answers to these two questions couldn't be more conventional.

Although most people approve of it.

But they still shook their heads in disapproval—not because they had a better answer, but because they felt...

As Emperor Zhu Yunhuan had searched for this thing for ten years and had endured the infamy and humiliation for half a year to cultivate this sweet potato field, he must have known these basic answers and benefits long ago.

"Your Majesty is fully aware of all this, yet you still ask this question..."

"It only shows that His Majesty has more in mind than just this."

Take these into consideration.

The people who originally had expressions of doubt, puzzlement, and bewilderment on their faces suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes became brighter.

Looked up at Zhu Yunhuan.

His face turned to show excitement and anticipation:

"Even the great benefits of ensuring that the people are well fed, the country is prosperous, and wars are short of fodder... these are not even the greatest benefits of this auspicious sign. This means..."

"There are even greater benefits than these!"

"Your Majesty has discovered and cultivated this creature, and you are the one who knows it best in the world. Your Majesty's words are bound to be true!"

Before, they did not believe Zhu Yunhuan, simply because they were blinded by the inherent impression that he was "a playboy" and "a willful dandy", and also because they had never seen such a good thing as sweet potato. But now it is different. They believe in the Kaiqian Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who brought auspicious signs, and of course they are extremely excited.

Of course, they were more curious.

"I think Your Majesty has a better idea in mind. Please speak frankly for us!" Everyone thought about it and racked their brains but couldn't think of what kind of magic medicine could be hidden in the gourd. They couldn't help but urge Zhu Yunhuan.

"Yes! Your Majesty, please tell us quickly! Are there any benefits that are better than these?" The dukes and marquises and heroes of military honor said it simply and directly.

Zhu Yunhuan pondered for a moment and sorted out his thoughts.

Then he casually picked up a sweet potato from the ground and said, "This sweet potato can indeed alleviate the famine in the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. There is nothing wrong with it. However, since you are eating it for the first time today, you don't know that sweet potatoes are not without flaws."
