In the commander's yamen in Jiangning City, Yang Feng was receiving Li Ge, who had just arrived from the Qianhu Institute of Jiangdong Gate.

"Commander, great joy!"

Although there was still dust and fatigue on his body that could not be concealed, Li Ge had a happy smile on his face. Now Li Ge has been promoted to the chief secretary of the guard, this is already a nine-grade official, and after becoming an official, Li Ge naturally has the motivation to do things.

"My lord, we planted a bumper harvest of potatoes, as of yesterday, we harvested more than 5,100 acres of land, a total of 200,000 tons of potatoes (100 catties per load), now the whole city of Nanjing is a sensation, many people are amazed that Lord Yang is a god descending to earth!"

"What kind of immortal descends to earth, this official is just a mortal." Yang Feng smiled disappreciatively: "With such a big harvest this time, presumably those people around who were originally watching must also make up their minds to plant potatoes, right?" ”

"It's inevitable." Li Ge said excitedly: "I've heard about it, and now many farmers have begun to buy potato seeds from us, but my lord, potatoes are a good thing you brought, it stands to reason that we should keep it strictly secret, is it really good for others to be cheap like this?" ”

"What's so bad." Yang Feng took a post newspaper from the side and handed it to Li Ge, "You see, now there is a large-scale locust plague in various parts of Shaanxi, which can be said to be full of displaced people, but Daming has no spare strength to help the victims. Look at the outside of the Guan, Nurhachi has set the capital of Shenyang, and changed its name to Shengjing, set the name of the country as Dajin, and changed the Yuan Mandate of Heaven. Don't you worry about seeing this, if it's not good, my Ming will be ruined in the hands of this group of Jiannu. ”

"How is this possible?" Li Ge laughed, "Jiannu is just a problem of scabies, and I can destroy it as long as I send a large army, what a good way to do it." ”

"You ......"

Looking at Li Ge with a confident face, Yang Feng was a little speechless. Li Ge's idea is probably also the idea of the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty today, although it has experienced the fiasco of the Battle of Sarhu in the Wanli period, but the Ming Dynasty still firmly believes that this defeat is only temporary, and the Jurchens led by Nurhachi are just a group of uncivilized barbarians, and it is impossible to pose a mortal threat to the Ming regime.

It stands to reason that in fact, their idea is not wrong, the Ming Dynasty is a hundred times the strength of the Manchurians, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for those Jurchens to eat the Ming, but they have forgotten that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the prosperous era of fighting whoever they want in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After more than 200 years of development, although the population and people's financial resources have developed rapidly, but because the land annexation has developed to the extreme, the financial situation of the whole country has decayed too much, and the gentry group led by the Donglin Party still holds the right to speak in the court, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty is like a very weak giant, if the situation continues to deteriorate, there is no need for the Jurchens to fight, and the Ming himself will fall first.

In fact, it is true, in another time and space, Zhu Youxiao's successor, Zhu Youzhen, did not understand until the day he was hanged, why he worked hard for more than ten years, but finally ended up ruining the country and his family.

However, Yang Feng didn't want to talk to Li Ge about this, some things were not good if he said too much.

Yang Feng casually picked up a potato from the table and said to Li Ge: "Master Li, potatoes like drought rather than moisture, cold rather than heat, so Jiangnan is not the most ideal place to grow potatoes." Shandong, Shaanxi, Liaodong, Qinghai, Ningxia and other places are the most suitable places to grow potatoes, if we can plant potatoes in a large area in these places, think about it, do we still need to worry about famine? Compared to these, what is the loss caused to me by the spread of potatoes! ”

Looking at Yang Feng's serious face, Li Ge couldn't help but be in awe, only to see him stand up and give Yang Feng a long salute, but Yang Feng was startled.

"I said Master Li, what are you doing here?"

Li Ge said with a solemn expression: "My lord, this is for the people of the whole world, thank you!" ”

Yang Feng waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, let's not meet on the first day, do we need to make so many gimmicks?" If you really want to thank me, you should quickly arrange for someone to put away those potatoes, but don't let them get soaked in the rain or get damp, you must know that once the potatoes are damp and sprout, they will not be eaten, they will die! ”

"This matter does not need to be said by adults, and the humble position naturally understands!"

After sending Li Ge away, Yang Feng got up and went to the school outside the city to check the training of the sergeants. Perhaps every man has a dream in his heart to lead the army to expand his territory, and this dream is naturally impossible to achieve in the twenty-first century, so Yang Feng brought this dream to this time and space, which is why he spared no effort to develop the army.

It's just that as soon as he rode on the war horse brought by Song Ye, the leader of the family, a sergeant hurried over and handed him a letter.

This letter was sent by Cao Dazhong, who was well-informed, and after learning that the imperial court had sent a group of officials such as Li Youzhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Tinghe, the political envoy, and more than a dozen imperial historians and speech officials of the Imperial Procuratorate, to investigate, he immediately sent a letter to Yang Feng as quickly as possible, asking him to hurry up and prepare. Although Cao Dazhong still doesn't like Yang Feng very much, now he and Yang Feng are grasshoppers on the same rope, and if Yang Feng is unlucky, he will not have a good life.

Yang Feng took the letter and looked at it, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face, although he had long expected that the good news would inevitably cause a sensation after reporting the good news to the imperial court, but he did not expect that the reaction of the hundred officials of the imperial court would be so big, those officials who boasted of being clear and cleared actually shouted the slogan of exterminating the national thief and asked the emperor to kill him to correct the national law. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao had some friendship with him, and he didn't listen to the words of those officials, but instead sent a messenger to check, on the surface, he didn't believe in himself, but in fact, he was already giving him face, and he didn't waste it in these days that he often sent him things.

But Yang Feng is not too afraid of this, some things really can't be faked, there are 200,000 quintals of potatoes there, even if those people want to pick bones in eggs, it is not so easy.

After sending the sergeant who delivered the letter away, Yang Feng walked towards the school field, and before he arrived at the school field, a earth-shattering shout came from the school field. When he walked to the school grounds, the earth-shattering shouts became louder, and a soldier wearing a tricolor camouflage training uniform was training seriously under the scorching sun under the leadership of the instructor.

Looking at a sergeant who was soaked but still training hard, Yang Feng nodded secretly. According to this progress, in a few months, a trained army will take shape again, and the strength in your hands will be strengthened again, as long as you have five or six thousand elite soldiers in hand, you will have the capital to protect yourself in this time and space.
