Where did the sweet potato come from? It changed the history of China.

The sweet potato that we can often eat now was not originally produced in China, but was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, but this small sweet potato saved most people at that time and became the food that changed the history of China.

Although we were a big country before the Ming Dynasty, the population was not that large, but the Ming Dynasty encouraged the population to have children, so the population came up at once, but we also faced the problem of what so many people ate. What should we do if we encounter natural and man-made disasters again? At this time, the small sweet potato really solved this problem.

Sweet potato originated in America. There was a Fujian businessman named Chen Zhenlong in the Ming Dynasty. In the process of doing business, he found that this variety can be planted on any land, and the most important thing is that the yield is extremely high. So he brought this variety back to the Ming Dynasty after many twists and turns. After I tried to plant it myself, the effect was very good, and then I began to promote it on a large scale throughout the country. Every disaster year, small sweet potatoes can be said to stop countless people from starving, so people can stop starving.
