Outside Yangxin Palace Hall, Grand Secretary Liu and Minister Liu were sweating profusely.
Minister of War Liu Daxia was very calm about Slave Jian and the Korean Peninsula.
The real problem was to reform the relay station. Just thinking about it made Minister Liu's scalp tingle.
"This old master knew that the emperor calling us would not be good!”
Liu Daxia's head felt like it was about to explode. He muttered in frustration,""What should we do? In a day, how could the intelligence be sent from thousands of miles away to the Emperor's case?”
Liu Jian also said in exasperation," The Imperial Censors and the officials in the Imperial Court are really bored. They have nothing better to do but to impeach the Emperor for choosing an empress and ask the Emperor to have more children. They are really bored!" It annoys the emperor every day."
"Alright!" Liu Jian spread out his hands." The Emperor has also given the outer court a difficult problem. This old man really has a headache!"”
Liu Daxia rolled his eyes.”
"That makes sense!" Liu Jian stroked his beard and nodded." There's no time to lose. Let the Imperial Censorate make things difficult for them."”
……
The relay station had to be changed. At the very least, the current intelligence was too slow to reach Bei Zhi Li. The news was too late.
But it was still somewhat unrealistic to send the information to the capital within a day.
In any case, Zhu Youtang had nothing to do. It was always a good thing to give more problems to the outer court, lest these flies came to bother him.
The rebellion of Liaodong Jian Nu seemed to be within Zhu Youtang's expectations.
The Aisin Gioro clan was a group of selfish clansmen. In Liaodong, they divided the people into three, six, and nine classes. The status of the Banner people was also divided into high and low, not to mention the Han people.
When Zhu Youtang rejected the idea of opening a horse market in Liaodong twice, he had expected that Jian Nu Aisin Gioro would make a move.
He could use this opportunity to destroy the Aisin Gioro Clan and prevent a tragedy from happening in the future.
Big Ming didn't need this group of ungrateful wolves.
……
Ministry of Works.
In this half a year, Wen Zhengming had become darker and stronger.
It was hard to imagine that a dignified top scholar would actually work so hard!
He often tossed and turned in the fields and the Ministry Hall, but he did not complain at all.
It was just that he was a little strange.
These fruits had been planted for almost half a year. Why were there only leaves but no fruits?
Wen Zhengming squatted in the field, but he couldn't figure it out.
He tried to pull the green leaf out of the mud.
After that.
Rings of sweet potatoes and potatoes appeared in front of him.
What was this?
Wen Zhengming was a little respectful.
He had only heard the emperor say that these things could be eaten.
Humans had always been in awe of the unknown.
However, Wen Zhengming was clearly going all out today. He washed the sweet potatoes and potatoes and went back to boil them with water.
He ate the potatoes first. The taste was average.
Then, he ate the sweet potatoes.
Oh, this taste is not bad.
Wen Zhengming wrote the results while eating.
In this half a year, his duty hut was already filled with all kinds of data.
As he wrote.
Wen Zhengming was suddenly stunned.
Heavens!
"Take one to fill your stomach!"
Wen Zhengming muttered in a low voice, as if he had gone mad. He called a few small officials from the Ministry of Works and ran towards the experimental field.
"Dig! He dug out all the seeds and measured their weight!”
"Oh my god! Thirty dan per mu, thirty dan!"
Wen Zhengming was completely bewitched!
Great Ming's rice and wheat, at most, only produced five or six dan per mu! If such a divine artifact were to appear, would there still be people starving in Great Ming?
Wen Zhengming cried tears of joy and ran towards the Ministry of Works!
Along the way, he bumped into Liu Jian and Liu Daxia, who were unhappy.
Liu Daxia was a little dissatisfied. Is this how you learned the rules of being an official in the Ministry of Works?”
When Wen Zhengming saw the cabinet chief and the Minister of War, he hurriedly bowed and said excitedly,"Milords, the results are out!”
"Huh?" Liu Daxia was dumbfounded.
"Sweet potatoes! Potato! The results are out!"
Wen Zhengming bared his teeth.
Damn it! Idiot!
Liu Daxia muttered in his heart. What sweet potatoes, what potatoes, what are they?
When Zhu Youtang asked him to plant these two crops, he didn't care and handed them over to the Ministry of Works. Now, he had long forgotten about them.
"Oh, it's something I seized from the pirates on the sea. I remember now.”
Wen Zhengming was so excited that his words were overflowing." My Emperor is wise. This crop is really edible. Moreover, it can withstand the heat. The yield per mu is as high as 30 stones! Heavens! My Emperor is wise! My emperor is wise!"
Liu Daxia pulled him back." Wait a minute. Is the yield per mu three dan or thirty dan?"”
"Thirty stones!"
Hiss!
Liu Daxia was shocked.”
Back then, Zhu Youtang had asked him to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. Liu Daxia thought that these were imported goods, things that were eaten by the lower class. Eating them would shorten one's life.
"Delicious! It was delicious! It was very filling! A sweet potato was enough to fill one's stomach.”
That powerful?
Liu Daxia was flabbergasted.
After a long while, he swallowed his saliva."Young man! Be steady! Don't be rash! You are an official of the Ming Dynasty! Quickly go back and tell the Minister of Works!"
"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Liu."
Wen Zhengming hurriedly nodded and left.
Pa!
Suddenly, Liu Daxia slapped his own mouth.
"Why is Minister Liu acting like this?" What's going on?"
"Grand…Grand Elder…this…this crop, the Emperor gave it to the Ministry of War…to the Ministry of War!" Liu Daxia howled.”
"It was this old man who cupped his hands and gave such a great merit to the Ministry of Works. Pa, pa, pa!"
Liu Jian was dumbfounded. He quickly hugged Liu Daxia."Calm down, calm down. It's fine, it's fine. Minister Liu doesn't have to be like this.”
Although he said that, Liu Jian looked at Liu Daxia as if he was an idiot.
With such a monstrous contribution, the Emperor is wise and mighty, and you still doubt the Emperor?
Serves you right!
This is going to leave a name in the history books of my cabinet!
Liu Jian's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment!
……
The next day, court.
When the Ministry of Works announced the results of the sweet potato and potato production to the public.
Other than the Minister of War Liu Daxia, who was a little resentful, almost all the officials in the court were crying tears of joy.
It was hard for them to imagine that there were so many magical things overseas.
From this, it could be seen how correct the emperor's decision to open the sea was.
At this time, all officials rushed to Zhu Youtang Mountain to shout long live!
With these two divine artifacts, Da Ming would be more at ease when facing famine and hunger. In other words, Da Ming would almost never have a large-scale food crisis again!
