The Ming Dynasty did indeed have a good grandson, a view held not only by Zhu Yuanzhang but also by all the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty.
So much so that Zhu Yunwen was not accompanied by any soldiers or security personnel at this moment.
Even just carrying a token symbolizing his status was enough for him to travel throughout the Ming Dynasty without any common people posing any threat to him or any official daring to do anything to him.
This is a legend, a person revered by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
And so, Zhu Yunwen traveled all the way, and soon arrived in the northeastern region, where it met Goryeo. After crossing the Yalu River, Zhu Yunwen entered the province of Goryeo.
Now, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, everything in Goryeo follows the Ming system. Originally, Goryeo itself learned from the Ming system and regarded the Ming Dynasty as its suzerain state.
Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty took control of Goryeo, the people did not change much and continued to follow many of the things and ways of life they had before.
The only difference is that since being governed by the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo has become increasingly developed. Especially during this period, the Ming Dynasty itself has also made rapid progress, and many things have quickly spread to Goryeo.
The Ming Dynasty even had some subsidy and improvement policies for the people of Goryeo, which continuously improved their living conditions and made them feel increasingly attached to the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Yunwen entered Goryeo, he passed through some places, especially some villages, and found that the people there had basically planted sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, corn and so on.
These things are basically all from the same season. The corn in the field has grown to about the height of a person, and the potatoes are ready to be dug up.
The people in the fields were digging potatoes while planting sweet potatoes next to them, and every now and then they would pick some chili peppers and loosen the soil around the corn.
Such a busy scene brought smiles of happiness to the faces of the people.
When people are busy, they have a harvest to follow. The so-called busy farming season is actually a very happy thing for farmers.
Because they have so many things to sow and so much farm work to do right now, they will be able to reap greater rewards someday in the future.
So they all had happy smiles on their faces and were full of anticipation as they planted the seeds.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
He walked over and looked at the fist-sized potatoes that had been dug out of the ground. He couldn't help but pick one up and examine it carefully for a long time.
Then he said to a farmer's wife who was working nearby:
"You must have had quite a harvest of potatoes like these, right?"
The peasant woman smiled and turned to Zhu Yunwen, replying:
"Yes, just over a year ago, we couldn't have imagined it. We never thought that God would bring such a food to the world. Of course, we should thank the Ming Dynasty and that Crown Prince. If it weren't for them, we common people would probably still be starving."
Zhu Yunwen felt a surge of joy; the feeling of holding the potatoes in his hands gave him a sense of peace and contentment. So he said:
"Is this potato tasty?"
Before the peasant woman could speak, several children who were playing in the field ran over, chattering excitedly:
"Delicious, incredibly delicious, so tasty!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and patted their heads, then said:
"Eat more if you like it; this stuff is very nutritious."
Then Zhu Yunwen said to the peasant woman:
"In that case, can you guarantee that you will have different foods to eat throughout the year?"
The farmer's wife said, "Yes, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be stored for a long time."
We learned how to dig a pit in a cool, dry place to store these kinds of things, under the guidance of some technicians from the Ming Dynasty.
This way, the food can be stored for a long time, ensuring it won't spoil and providing us with food to eat for over a year.
These sweet potatoes and potatoes also store very well, so we can eat them all year round, which is truly a wonderful thing for us.
Zhu Yunwen looked again at the large patch of chili peppers planted in the field next to him and asked in confusion:
"These chili peppers aren't easy to preserve. Aren't you worried about them spoiling if you grow so many?"
The peasant woman immediately burst into laughter and said:
“We certainly can’t eat all these chilies ourselves, but we can sell them. Don’t underestimate this large patch of chilies. If we pick them all and sell a portion of them, we can make a lot of money.”
This way, while ensuring food security, one can also generate some income.
Zhu Yunwen suddenly realized that he had forgotten that some agricultural products could be sold.
So he smiled and got up, walking away with Zhao Qingzhu into the distance.
After they had walked quite a distance, the farmer's wife suddenly remembered something, dropped some sweet potato stalks she was holding, stood up, and walked to a nearby wooden stake.
There was a piece of paper pasted on the wooden stake, with some notices or similar things that the local government usually posted.
