"Grand Secretary Zhang, His Majesty didn't ask us to plant some rice, but immortal rice!”
Zhang Yong explained with a smile.
He flattered her again.
However, what he said was also the truth.
Because the group of ministers behind him also had the same expression as if they had seen a ghost!
Such a terrifying number of fruits.
Even if they had never planted a field before, they could still feel that it was a little too ridiculous!
If this wasn't immortal rice, what else could it be?？
"Your Majesty, I wonder if these immortal rice can be promoted?”
An old official stood up and asked with a spirited look in his eyes.
"Of course!" Zhu Houzhao nodded.”
These words immediately made the old minister's eyes light up, and his expression instantly became excited.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't the food of our Ming Dynasty be endless?”
"It's not endless, but it can make the world full!”
" Let the world have its fill?!!"
Zhu Houzhao's words were enough.
It made his heart, which had been silent for a long time, jump again.
The old minister felt his lips trembling.
It wasn't fear.
Instead, he was trembling with excitement!
What was food?
Food,
It was the hearts of the people!
When he saw the terrifying cannon formation, he was only shocked and horrified.
After all, no matter how powerful the weapon was, it was still a powerful weapon.
He could only conquer and suppress them!
But having enough food was different.
Food meant hope.
It meant life!
With hope and vitality, there would be a world!!
If this Immortal Rice was planted all over Great Ming.
The Great Ming Dynasty would definitely become a legend among the dynasties!
True immortality!
"I plan to set up another department in addition to the existing seven departments. It will be called the Agriculture Department and will be in charge of farming in the world.”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the officials.
"Which one of you is willing to recommend yourself?"
Zhu Houzhao had just finished speaking.
An old minister with a pair of clear eyes stood up and patted his chest as he promised.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has been in the Ministry of Revenue for more than 20 years and is very experienced!”
"If you let this old minister take charge now, there will definitely be no problems.”
Zhu Houzhao looked over.
He remembered that this person should be the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a second-grade official.
However, the others beside him were not willing to be outdone.
A relatively young minister stood out.
This was the other assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chen is old after all. The Ministry of Agriculture has just been established, so there will definitely be many things to do. This humble subject is the best at dealing with complicated matters, so this humble subject is willing to recommend myself!”
It was not over yet!
It was another old minister.
This was the Minister of Rites.
"Your Majesty, farming is related to a country's plans. Why don't you let this old minister take up the post?”
“.........”
"Your Majesty, choose me!"
"Your Majesty, I have great ambitions. Choose me!!”
"Your Majesty, this general loves the land deeply. Choose me!!”
Crazy!
He was completely crazy!
For a moment, more than half of the officials jumped up, fighting to be the first to do so. They were all second-grade and third-grade high-ranking officials.
Everyone.
They were all abnormally excited, their faces flushed red, eager to give it a try.
Not only civil officials.
Zhu Houzhao was speechless.
Even some high-level generals couldn't help but jump out.
" These guys are really willing to fight to the death for their reputation.'
Looking at the crazy crowd.
Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart.
Although he had been in this world for thirteen years, he had already felt the pursuit of fame by scholar-bureaucrats.
But now, it seemed like he was the only one left.
He had still underestimated her!
A scholar-bureaucrat like Yan Song was extremely rare!
Zhu Houzhao pressed his palms together.
Everyone slowly quieted down.
However, they all looked at the emperor with burning eyes.
He wanted to know who would be lucky enough to become the Minister of Agriculture.
Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept across the crowd.
In the end, it fell on Zhang Cong.
"In the short term, Zhen does not want to be the Minister of Agriculture.”
"How about this, I'll let Zhang Cong temporarily hold the post of Minister of Agriculture.”
" What?!"
The expressions of the officials who were looking forward to it a moment ago instantly changed.
Meanwhile, Zhang Cong was still observing the super rice.
When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He was the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he didn't care when the Emperor chose the Minister of Agriculture.
After all, such an important position naturally couldn't be his.
But he didn't expect it.
His Majesty actually set his eyes on him in the end?
But before Zhang Cong could say anything.
Someone stood up.
"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Zhang is in charge of the cabinet, so his energy is scattered. The Ministry of Agriculture has just been established, so it's complicated to arrange officials and settle accounts.”
"That's right. I hope Your Majesty can consider Grand Secretary Zhang and find someone else.”
"Your Majesty, I believe that Minister Chen Youheng is more reliable than Grand Secretary Zhang. Lord Wang is the best candidate!”
"Your Majesty, I recommend the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Lord Wang."
He looked at the people who were fighting for it again.
Zhu Houzhao just smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Cong gradually understood the Emperor's intentions.
He didn't dare to hesitate and directly received the decree.
"Your subject Zhang Cong thanks Your Majesty and will not disappoint Your Majesty!”
Since you have received the decree.
Then, this matter was set in stone.
Everyone finally stopped talking. They only looked at Zhang Cong with expressions as if he had eaten shit.
However, Zhang Cong did not mind.
Because he knew that this was what His Majesty the Emperor wanted.
"Farming is the national plan of the Ming Dynasty, we must not be careless.”
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and left.
The reason he chose Zhang Cong was simple.
Split!
Create momentum!
It wasn't hard to understand the division.
The Ministry of Agriculture was so popular, but in the end, Zhu Houzhao forcefully gave it to Zhang Cong.
The ministers did not dare to resent Zhu Houzhao.
Thus, he would only vent his dissatisfaction on Zhang Cong.
This naturally caused division.
As for creating momentum.
It was even easier to understand.
Although Zhang Cong was now the chief assistant of the cabinet, he had only been there for less than a year.
And he was so young.
It could be said that his foundation was shallow!
Zhu Houzhao's obvious favoritism was to create momentum for Zhang Cong!
He was appointed Minister of Agriculture.
It was a clear signal to all the ministers.
Who would dare to oppose Zhang Cong?
That is to go against me!
As for the Ministry of Agriculture?
Although it was a newly established department, a large part of the farming data that the Ministry of Agriculture was responsible for could be transferred from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue.
At the same time, there was also the promotion of immortal rice.
Even a fool wouldn't mess up such a thing that was beneficial to his reputation.
"It's been almost six months now.”
Sitting in the dragon carriage.
Zhu Houzhao pondered.
Once the six-month cooldown period was over, it would be the third meeting of the chat group!
During the six months of cooldown, he had done many things.
Let's not talk about anything else.
The huge cannon formation had more than a hundred cannons.
Other than to attack the Wala Empire and Jurchen Empire, the main reason was to increase their ranking on the Dynasty Rankings!
After all, the terrifying rewards on the leaderboard made him feel a little itchy.
"I wonder who will be joining the chat group this time?”
Zhu Houzhao pondered.
Of the Sixteen Emperors of Ming Dynasty, there were still ten who had yet to enter.
If possible.
Zhu Houzhao hoped that the chat group would recruit people faster.
After all, when the sixteen players were full, a new mode would be activated-Heavenly Exploration!
The rewards for the Dynasty Rankings were already so plentiful.
If it was the heavenly exploration mode, wouldn't the rewards explode?
Unfortunately,
He was only the group leader, not the host of the chat group.
The invited personnel,
It was not within Zhu Houzhao's authority.
