Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 2 I’ll give you something, don’t let me be an official
After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, he showed some dignity.

"Young man, you can see that we have some status in the military. If you are lying, admit it now and we will not embarrass you. If you persist in your obsession, then don't blame me for being rough with you!"

Not only did Liao Tiancheng not panic, he actually smiled: "You think the Yuan Dynasty is still ruling the dynasty, and you can be lawless and do whatever you want? Today's emperor is a sage, diligent and caring for the people. If you use violence now, you will be held accountable later!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became happy: "We like to hear this! Today, Shenwu doesn't know about Shengming or Ming, but it is true to be diligent and caring for the people! In this way, for your awakening, as long as you can prove that this thing really has four A hundred times the output, then I’ll buy all your beans!”

"really?"

"Jun...a gentleman has no jokes!"

"Words are unsubstantiated, words are evidence!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste any words. He found a pen and paper and immediately wrote a guarantee and pressed his fingerprint.

Liao Tiancheng closed the stall and said: "You two, please come with me! The time to witness the miracle is coming soon!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, but felt a little excited in his heart.

If it is really a crop with an output of [-] shi, then in the future we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, will not have to worry about eating one bite?
Following Liao Tiancheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang soon arrived at a dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city.

In the yard, a field of corn is growing vigorously.

Both of them saw the crops they had never seen before and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

But after looking carefully for a long time, I still couldn't see that kind of beans growing anywhere.

"Young man, does this thing also grow in the soil?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Liao Tiancheng shook his head and broke off a corn cob.

After peeling, there is white, tender, plump corn inside.

"Now is not the time. In another month or two, it will turn from white to yellow, from soft to hard. At that time, it will look like this bright yellow."

Liao Tiancheng explained and handed the corn cob to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"If a seed is planted, it will grow into a stick like this. You can count how many there are on it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the densely packed beans, his heart beating with excitement!

"One, two, three..."

"530 pills! There are more than [-] pills!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not count it a second time, because even if there was an error, it was still pretty much the same.

The facts are before our eyes. The output of this thing is even more than four hundred times. It is really high-yield!
"The greatest treasure in the world! God-given Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged the corn cob and praised loudly with excitement!

After looking around the crops planted by Liao Tiancheng and observing their density, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer, quickly got an idea of ​​the yield per mu.

"At least 3000 plants of this thing can be planted in one acre! One plant can produce half a catty of seeds. Calculating this, one scene can produce at least more than 500 catties of grain!"

"In this dynasty, the fertile soil of mature fields only yields more than 200 kilograms per mu. Three hundred kilograms is almost as high as the sky! The yield of this thing is at least [-] kilograms!"

"If this plant is planted throughout the Ming Dynasty, then the national output will soar six or seven times in the near future. If so, what floods and droughts will we have to worry about in the future? As long as one province has a good harvest, it can feed half of the Ming Dynasty!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the more excited he became. Looking at Li Shanchang, he also looked surprised!
"Young man, what do you call me?" "I'm Liao Tiancheng."

"Tiancheng? What a name! It seems that God has really blessed you to hand over this thing to us! By the way, what do you plan to call this kind of crop?"

Liao Tiancheng responded without thinking: "Corn!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the corn cobs he had just opened and saw the milky white corn kernels on them, which were as white and crystal clear as jade, and he nodded slightly.

"This name is really vivid and apt! It's as white as jade and as round as rice! What a great name! We all want this corn!"

Liao Tiancheng was overjoyed, but also had some doubts: "Really? You can calculate it. One corn is a hundred gold. This cob is four to five hundred grains, worth 5 taels of gold! To be honest, I have ready-made corn kernels here. Two hundred, if you include the unharvested corn, that’s a lot of money!”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately discussed with Li Shanchang for a while.

"Your Majesty, one corn cob costs 4 taels of gold. There are probably hundreds of corn plants in this area. Wouldn't it cost millions of taels of gold!"

"Hiss! So much! Shen Wansan can't even afford it now! It seems like we have to reason with him!"

So Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and planned to fool Liao Tiancheng.

"Who is that, Liao Tiancheng! The corn you sell is too expensive, let's buy one first."

Liao Tiancheng was stunned and immediately took out the receipt written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself: "Are you kidding me? I bought everything I promised, so why did it become just one pill?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face: He had forgotten that he had already made a written pledge. If he regretted it and was exposed again, would he still lose his face?

"It's not that we don't want to buy it, it's that we didn't expect that there are so many corns! You can't afford it even if you call Shen Wansan here!"

Liao Tiancheng thought about it and expressed his understanding.

"What you said makes sense. Not to mention Shen Wansan, even if the current emperor comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to come up with so much money at once!"

"Let's do this, you buy everything ready-made, and I'll sell the rest to others in the future!"

What the hell?This is something fundamental to the Ming Dynasty. Do you still want to sell it to others?There are no doors!

Zhu Yuanzhang categorically stopped: "No! These things are extremely precious. If they are sold to others and they cannot plant them carefully, wouldn't such a good thing be wasted in vain? This corn must be returned to the national treasury, and the imperial court will arrange for someone to plant it until the seeds are ready." When you have enough, promote it all over the world and benefit thousands of people! If you dare to sell it, we will definitely make you regret it!"

Listening to this tone, Liao Tiancheng knew that this bad old man had an unusual status.

But the things belong to you, no matter what, you can’t be bullied like this!

"I know that you have a noble status, but you can't use my things to be a good person! What's the difference between you and a robber if you do this? If you continue to be so unreasonable, I, I really want to beat the drum!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed: Why do you want to play the drum again?When the Dengwen drum sounds, everyone in the world will know that our emperor has been accused. Where can we put this face?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang really thought of a way.

"Well, we don't have enough money, but we can find you a job! If you are willing to leave all this corn to us, then I will help you get around and get you a sixth- and fifth-grade official. You how do you feel?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of confidence, but when he heard this, Liao Tiancheng's expression changed as if he had heard a horror story!
Be an official under Zhu Yuanzhang?

Either you die of poverty, or you have to make money at the risk of being skinned and stuffed with straw!

Even a first-class official would not dare to do such an official!
"Okay, it's my misfortune. I admit defeat! I'll give you the corn, but you must never let me become an official!"
