Potatoes in Okayama Castle
Chapter 420 Potatoes in Okayama Castle
The species of potato is really amazing. It originated in the Inca Mountains and was brought to Europe by Spanish colonists in the early 16th century.
But because of the belief in Chechedan in Europe at that time, wheat with the same color as the sun was considered noble, while potatoes with irregular stone-like fruits growing in the dark land were evil, and they were devil's apples, so they were not seen by people. .
But because the flowers of potatoes growing on the ground are really pretty, coupled with the fluffy green leaves as a backdrop, they can be planted in courtyards for viewing, so they were widely planted by European nobles.
This is very different from the treatment of sweet potatoes and corn that were also brought back from the Americas.
Corn was the first to be accepted by European colonists because the grains were as golden as the sun. By 1511 AD, there was a record of corn in China’s "Yingzhou Chronicle". At this time, it was only 19 years after Columbus brought it back from America. year.
Corn is very suitable for various remote villages in southern China because of its strong plantability and its ability to be grown in alpine and cold regions. Therefore, by 1543, it had been widely planted in various parts of southern China.
At that time, the world was in the midst of the 300-year Little Ice Age, and the production of traditional grains was greatly reduced. After the introduction of corn, a species that was not favored by the colonists at first, the food crisis was quickly solved.
About a little later, potatoes and sweet potatoes were introduced to China one after another. Unlike Europeans who hate potatoes, potatoes were called royal banquets as soon as they were introduced to China, while the introduction of sweet potatoes seemed somewhat unknown.
Many marketing accounts copied a certain encyclopedia and believed that sweet potato was a crop prohibited from export by European colonists. Chen Zhenlong and Chen Yi worked hard and took the risk of beheading to smuggle it in from the Philippines and Vietnam to feed China's huge population. They were regarded as the gods of food at that time.
But in fact, the European record of prohibiting the export of sweet potatoes first appeared in the "Jinshu Zhuan Xilu", which described Chen Zhenlong's transport of sweet potatoes back to China, which was compiled in May 1593 (the 5st year of Wanli).
Later, Zhou Lianggong's "Min Xiaoji", Huang Shuzhen's "Taiwan Envoy Records" "Chi Xianbi Tan", and Yu Wenyi's "Continued Revision of Taiwan Government Chronicles" Volume [-] were all included with reference to this story, and it was widely disseminated.
However, there are no such records at all in the records of Vietnam, the Philippines, or the European colonists themselves.
Taking a step back, the Philippines was a colony at that time, but Vietnam was not. If sweet potatoes were really embargoed in Europe, how did sweet potatoes get introduced to Vietnam and brought back to Guangdong by Chen Yi?
From this, it can be inferred that the stories of Chen Zhenlong and Chen Yi are not necessarily false, but may be artistically beautified by literati out of the consideration of biographical legend.
In fact, in the "Dali Fuzhi" in 1563 (the 42nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty), there are five genus of "yam" listed: "Yam, yam, purple yam, white yam, red yam, among them there is yam Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes.
Eleven years later, Li Yuanyang recorded in the 11 (the second year of Wanli) edition of "Yunnan Tongzhi" that nine prefectures and prefectures in the province have different colors from "yam and yam". The planting of scorpions.
Chen Yi and Chen Zhenlong are responsible for the introduction of sweet potatoes to China in later generations. For one thing, "Dali Mansion Chronicle" and "Yunnan Tongzhi" are local publications, which are not widely spread;
The second reason is that as the government and province chronicles, it is mainly responsible for recording major events. The introduction of sweet potatoes and their descriptions are all sketchy, unlike the detailed description in "Jinshu Zhuan Xilu", and no one will beautify the story with biographies. So the spread is not high.
In fact, this kind of story is obviously still happening. No one cares about the documentary that also depicts the story of cleaning up the drug production in Boshe Village, Guangdong, but "Operation Icebreaker" after the beautification of medical skills is widely known.
We can see from European records that Europeans initially valued maize differently than sweet potatoes and potatoes for biblical reasons.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes are not valued because the fruit grows low, and they are even more disgusted. At least the flowers of potatoes are pretty good. What advantages do you have for sweet potatoes, so that the Europeans can embargo them?
In fact, according to historical records, it was potatoes that really saved the European food crisis and finally increased European food production.
Take Ireland as an example. The introduction of potatoes caused the population of Ireland to soar from 87 to 600 million before the Industrial Revolution. You must know that Ireland was originally a desolate land that even the King of England despised!
From a nutritional point of view, sweet potatoes have less sugar and more starch. People cannot digest starch into carbohydrates. Therefore, although sweet potatoes can give people a sense of fullness, they cannot provide enough calories for people's activities and work.
Although potatoes have the same problems as sweet potatoes, potatoes are much better than sweet potatoes in terms of other nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, iodine, carotene, thiamine (vitamin B1), protein and other nutrients.
Although eating potatoes is still insufficient in carbohydrates, for people in the era of material shortage at that time, it was difficult for them to obtain these essential nutrients from other foods, and potatoes, a plant, perfectly solved their problems.
Potatoes may indeed lack vitamin A, but Europeans generally drink milk, and milk is rich in vitamin A, which perfectly complements potatoes.
That's why potatoes were so revered around the world for hundreds of years to come.
If you look for Chinese and foreign literature now, there are only a few records of sweet potatoes in Europe, and they have never been paid attention to. On the contrary, records of sweet potatoes abound in China.
We don't deny that sweet potatoes do have the "ende" to keep people alive in a catastrophic year, but from the perspective of botany and nutrition, the cost performance of sweet potato cultivation is far inferior to that of potatoes and corn.
In fact, when Hideka’s development in Ezo was hindered, he thought about importing American corn and potatoes from Daimyo and Luzon, but never thought about introducing sweet potatoes. Another important reason is that sweet potatoes are not cold-resistant.
Potatoes, on the other hand, have adaptability advantages that they do not have. Potatoes can survive in all types of soil except saline-alkali soil, including sandy land.
It can calmly cope with the average daily temperature as low as 5°C and as high as 30°C, and requires little water. It perfectly fits the growing environment in regions such as Ezo and Siberia.
If you want to grow in an environment like Hokkaido, you can only grow potatoes with two seasons a year on flat land, and it is most economical to grow corn with one season in the mountains.
Another important reason why Xiujia insisted on developing Ryukyu was to use Ryukyu as a springboard to search for corn and potatoes in Yunnan and Guangxi of Ming Dynasty.
It's just that Xiujia didn't expect that potatoes were so easy to come by, that they had been introduced to the Ryukyu royal family in some way, and they were planted as ornamental plants.
In the next few days, Xiu's family was carefully cultivating potatoes. After all, Kamei Tomoki brought back very few potato plants from Ryukyu, only two plants.
And Xiujia wants to plant widely in the Ezo area, so it needs to take advantage of this time to expand the number of seed potatoes as soon as possible.
In fact, the most important step in potato planting is germination. There are many ways to accelerate germination. The temperature in Okayama is just right for germination in a warm, dark and humid place.
For Hideka’s Okayama Castle, the land next to the water garden in the courtyard is very suitable. It is covered with a rush roof to block the sun, and a certain amount of water can be sprayed on the rush.
But if you arrive in Ezo, the time window for planting is very short, and you need to start preparations 20 days before planting for germination. When the first season of potatoes was planted, the temperature in Ezo was just above zero, and the ice and snow were still melting. Potatoes are not suitable. Germination in the wild.
This requires the use of seedbeds for germination in the current greenhouse where sugar beets are grown. Buzhou is similar to Xiujia. Potatoes are placed on the ground, rushes are laid on them, and a small amount of water is sprayed.
After about 10 days, the potatoes will grow large teeth. At this time, the teeth of the potatoes are still very fragile. They need to be dried in the sun for 3 to 5 days. late blight.
After the potatoes germinate and grow up a little, they can be cut into pieces with 1-2 spores as a unit. Remember that the stem should not be too small, because it is necessary to provide nutrients to the potatoes in the early stage.
The freshly cut potato stems need to be stained with plant ash immediately, one is to prevent the water loss of potatoes, and the other is to protect the wound and help it heal quickly.
The above is the whole process of germination. After the germination is over, it can be planted. The planting method of potatoes is very simple, just put them in the soil layer of about 30cm.
The only thing to pay attention to is that when turning the ground before planting, spread the plant ash while turning the ground, because potatoes are plants that prefer potassium fertilizers, and higher potassium fertilizers can also help potatoes reduce the occurrence of early blight.
After that, you only need to clear the weeds regularly, fertilize and water properly, and it is almost a semi-managed state.
The above planting methods are deeply remembered by Xiujia in later generations, and they are the most suitable methods established after hundreds of years of human exploration and discovery.
Of course, the best way to accelerate ripening is to use gibberellin, but this is not something Xiujia can obtain in this era.
In the next few days, Xiujia Jiu took care of these potatoes as if raising his own children, so that Juji was very curious why Xiujia was so interested in these soil and rocks.
Xiujia simply took Ju Ji together to breed potatoes in the Okayama Joto Maru, and took care of these potatoes as their children, which actually enhanced their relationship.
It is worth noting that later studies have found that the yield of potatoes generally increases by more than 10% after flower removal.
Moreover, the common breeding method for potatoes in later generations is vegetative propagation by cutting into pieces after germination. This reverse method is faster, the breeding effect is better, and the maturity is higher.
But biology tells us that animals will undergo gene mutations when they undergo DNA division, which makes asexually reproduced plants irreversibly degenerate and reduce disease resistance.
The bananas of later generations are an example. Haven’t you noticed that the taste and texture of bananas are getting worse and worse?In just 20 years, the price of bananas that satisfy the taste has become more and more expensive, because the number of original bananas has become less and less.
If you want to change this situation, you need to use the DNA of other different organisms of the same species to make up for the missing bases, which is commonly known as sexual reproduction.
Wild potatoes can take into account both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. In order to prevent the potato crop failure caused by the potato blight in Ireland in history, Xiujia will remove the fast-stemmed potato herbs and do not discard them. Planted and cared for not far away.
After the biological expansion of potatoes, these remaining potato flowers can become the last guarantee to prevent the degradation of Yezo potatoes.
Of course, Xiujia didn't forget to ask about the situation of potatoes in Shuri Kamei, but he didn't summon them because he needed to check the poppies in the army these days.
After staying for more than ten days, when Kamei Ziju came back to report back, Xiu's potatoes had just been planted.Xiujia simply invited him to meet him at the side of Dongmaru's own potato plantation.
Kamei Tomo reported to Xiujia, "His Royal Highness, a total of 32 people who were discharged from the military due to drug addiction in this camp, and 45 poppy plants were confiscated. Fortunately, His Highness discovered it in time, so they were collected from the soldiers of the Ryukyu Expedition as soon as possible. poppies."
"Have you confiscated all of them?" Xiujia asked him.
Regarding this topic, Kamei Tomoki said vaguely, "It should be confiscated."
"Maybe?"
Kamei Tomoki noticed the change in Hideo's voice, and confessed to Hideo, "Some soldiers have sold this flower to vendors in Okayama Town, and we have recovered some, but the exact number is not clear.
But please rest assured, Your Highness, even in the local Ryukyu, this kind of plant is relatively rare, and the 45 plants that were confiscated should have confiscated most of them. "
The Xiu family was not satisfied with this result, but they also knew that they had done their best. In this day and age, common people don't ask questions, and mistakes in counting numbers are common, resulting in errors in the reported numbers.
Hideka could only look at Nobushige Sanada and Nobuta Anayama who were also kneeling in front of him and said, "Have you ever painted the painting that you were asked to draw by an artist? Have the confiscated poppy bouquets been destroyed with lime water?"
Sanada Nobushige replied to Xiujia, "According to His Highness, I will find someone to draw the shape of the poppy for the artist, and find someone to record the shape, color and other information, and then explain the harm of the plant in Okayama and other key points. And 3 days ago, they were destroyed in Okayama Town South according to His Royal Highness's request. All the poppies have been destroyed."
"Good" praised Sanada Nobushige's performance Hideo, and said, "In the past few days, I have found someone to record the effects and hazards of poppies I said, as well as the methods of destruction, and organize them into a book together with the paintings and publish them for the public. Various countries, county officials, daimyo, and local servants.
Let them pay attention to this kind of plant at all times. I don't care about other countries. My country must never see the emergence of this kind of plant. If they find one, they will be eliminated. "
Including Kamei Tomoki, the Xiu family also sternly ordered, "When you go to Ryukyu, you should also bring a few picture albums back, and destroy poppies in Ryukyu according to the description in the picture album, whether it is noble or common people; , Han people are still Yamato people, anyone who hides poppies will be punished with 30 lashes, and those who commit the crime again will be moved to the city!"
Kamei Tomoki and Sanada Nobushige felt Hideka's tough attitude, and replied firmly: "Yes, Your Highness."
