Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the basket of potatoes in front of him.
He was completely stunned.
He had thought that Lin Zi Yun would only be able to deduce the location of the crops.
In the end, Lin Zi Yun took out the finished product.
This was really unexpected!
Moreover, the potatoes did not look very good.
It was yellow.
There was also the smell of earth.
Can this thing be eaten?
Zhu Yuanzhang took a potato and weighed it in his hand. He was immediately surprised.
This potato was as big as a palm and weighed at least half a catty!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the potato in his hand for a while.
He was still suspicious.
He opened his mouth and was about to bite down.
"Cough cough, honored guest, this item is called potato. It tastes good when cooked, but it doesn't taste good when eaten raw.”
"If you want to know the taste of potatoes, you can stay for dinner later.”
"Esteemed guest, don't worry. The taste of the potatoes is definitely not bad, and they can definitely be used as a staple food!”
Lin Ziyun saw Zhu Yuanzhang's confusion and said directly.
"Master, can these potatoes really produce 6000 catties per mu?”
Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't believe it.
6000 pounds!
A total of 6000 pounds!
What kind of concept was this?
How much grain could one mu of land in Ming produce?
Even though Ming collected very low taxes, a family of three could only get enough food and clothing by farming more than ten mu of land.
If one mu of land could really produce 6000 catties of grain, wouldn't everyone be able to eat their fill?
How could there be famine in the entire Ming Dynasty?
The significance of this was extremely great!
One had to know that in any dynasty, as long as the commoners could eat their fill.
It was already a golden age!
"Esteemed guest, you can buy 10 catties of potatoes and try it at home.”
Lin Zi Yun smiled.
He had already said that 6000 catties per mu was too little.
If they were willing to cultivate and manage it with care.
A yield of 8000 catties per mu was not a problem!
"If this thing is really so magical!"
"Then let's thank Master on behalf of all the people in the world!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up.
He bowed to the curtain.
His eyes glistened with tears.
Lin Zi Yun said with certainty.
In addition, Lin Zi Yun's calculations were accurate.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already 80% convinced about the potato.
And in his hands were 6000 catties of crops per mu.
He felt a wave of sadness in his heart.
His parents had starved to death back then!
If he had this potato back then, his family would not have been destroyed.!!
"Esteemed guest, are you going to buy this basket of potatoes or not?”
"A total of 8000 taels."
"Buy! Zhu Biao! Get the money!"
"Hey!"
Zhu Biao quickly took out a stack of silver notes.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the silver notes and placed them lightly on the table. Then, he carefully picked up the basket of potatoes and handed it to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was even more exaggerated. He hugged the basket tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that the potatoes in the basket would grow wings and fly away if he let go.
Lin Zi Yun quickly kept the 8000 taels of silver.
Her heart was simply bubbling with happiness.
He had already earned more than 10,000 taels.
This emperor was really a fat sheep!
"Um, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Lin Ziyun asked after keeping the silver notes.
Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.
The countermeasures to deal with the expansion of the great clans had already been calculated.
Moreover, they had also obtained several thousand catties of crops per mu.
There was nothing to calculate for the time being.
No way!
"Master, to tell you the truth, there is something that has been bothering me.”
"Tell me."
"It's the position of Prime Minister! I always feel that the Prime Minister has too much power! It will threaten me at any time. Can you help me calculate if there is a solution?”
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang.
It completely abolished the prime minister system!
Hu Weiyong was the last prime minister in the history of China.
The prime minister's power was too great, and it was indeed a worry for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lin Zi Yun's face.
This problem was too easy to solve.
"Three thousand taels."
Lin Zi Yun said directly.
"Zhu Biao!"
Zhu Biao immediately took out a banknote.
Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the silver notes with both hands.
After Lin Zi Yun received the money, he pretended to count with his fingers,""Esteemed guest, I have two plans. I'll tell you the worst plan first.”
"The worst plan is to completely abolish the position of Prime Minister and change it to a cabinet system.”
"The outstanding talents of the various departments are selected to enter the cabinet. The members of the cabinet are only responsible for making plans and no longer have the power to make decisions.”
"The cabinet will only provide a plan to solve internal affairs. Whether the plan is passed or not, it must be approved by the distinguished guests. If the distinguished guests are not satisfied, they can send it back to the cabinet to re-draft the plan.”
"In this way, the Prime Minister's decision-making power is completely abolished. The members of the cabinet are only the strategists of the distinguished guests.”
"And the power of the entire cabinet will not be concentrated on one person. There will no longer be a situation where the power of the prime minister is too great.”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
The cabinet members could only submit proposals and had no decision-making power. The cabinet was made up of many people, and there would not be any powerful ministers.
Wonderful!
This plan was wonderful!
Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao also smiled.
Naturally, he could see the subtlety of this plan.
He was surprised and happy.
However, he still had some doubts.
This plan was already so good.
What would be the best plan?
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly thought of this problem and asked Lin Zi Yun,""Master, tell us the best plan!”
"The best policy is also to abolish the power of the prime minister and set up a cabinet. However, the difference is that we have to separate military affairs from internal affairs.”
"Military affairs must be reported directly to the emperor by the Ministry of War! Then, the king would gather all the ministers for a discussion!”
" As for internal affairs, the cabinet can exercise the right to review memorials, but they must make a suitable list every day to show what internal affairs the cabinet has done.”
"Esteemed guest, please review the list. If you feel that it is wrong, you can reprimand it and order the cabinet to make changes!”
"The members of the cabinet rotate once every five years. All the members have to start as local officials, and they have to be clean and have no political stains. This is to prevent anyone from interfering with the power of governance for a long time!”
"In this way, the honored guest can closely supervise the cabinet members, and the military affairs are controlled by the honored guest. In addition, the cabinet members rotate frequently, so there's no need to worry about the prime minister's power growing.”
Lin Ziyun said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang could be called a model emperor.
After deposing the Prime Minister.
He had taken over the Prime Minister's work.
He was exhausted and full of energy.
The cabinet department that he had set up was useless.
But this made the emperors behind Ming suffer.
After all, a person's energy was limited.
The desire for enjoyment was a common trait of humans.
Therefore, the emperors after Zhu Yuanzhang would always think of ways to arrange positions similar to the prime minister to reduce their burden.
Therefore, there would be a chief assistant tomorrow.
During the Qing Dynasty, cabinet scholars also appeared.
These were actually prime ministers, but they had changed their names.
He had to completely solve the problem of the prime minister.
It would be fine if the king could play a supervisory role.
He did everything by himself.
A country was so big that even the emperor couldn't manage it.
Then why do you need your subordinates?
What do you want the imperial examination for?
After hearing Lin Zi Yun's words.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately fell into deep thought.
"Master, what is a list? Can this list really supervise the officials?”
"I'll draw one for you and you'll understand.”
Lin Ziyun took out a piece of paper and a pencil and started writing quickly.
