Autumn October!

The temperature of the Great Shun Dynasty has dropped a lot, although the Shuntian Mansion is not located in the north, but most of the people in the city have already put on jackets, and the cold Inner Deep Palace has burned the earth dragon, trying to drive away the cold air that does not disperse all year round.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

Emperor Shunyao, who was dressed in a red dragon robe, pressed his legs and slowly sat on the dragon chair in the main hall, although he was in the spirit of the year of the sixtieth year, he was strong, and his waist was straight and hard, but the beard on his chin had already turned yellow, and the dragon crown could not cover the gray hair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials got up from both sides of the main hall, and the prince in a golden dragon robe stood first on the left, obviously wearing a set of armor under the bulging dragon robe, plus his tall figure and full beard, he looked like a mighty general.

Prince Duan is much more elegant, standing very low-key among the ministers, Xia Shoufu is eyes are slightly narrowed, a belly full of hole cards from Lao Tzu, no one should disturb Lao Tzu's pretending to be profound.

"What's going on?"

Emperor Shunyao pointed down very unhappily, several ministers were wearing epidemic prevention masks, and he said angrily: "Why are there still people wearing masks, isn't the flu already under control, are you afraid of death, or do you use me here as a drug den?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but strictly follow the epidemic prevention regulations......"

A minister came out and said: "The regulations stipulate that patients with infectious diseases must stay away from the crowd when they go out, wear epidemic prevention masks, and there are people in the Weichen Mansion who are sick, although the ministers are fine, but the flu has an incubation period, and the ministers are worried about infecting the emperor and their colleagues, so they have to wear masks!"

"You people......"

The prince said angrily: "The emperor often reminds you to have both civil and military skills, and don't slack off on martial arts when you read sage books, all of them are like sick seedlings, you look at all the generals, who is sick?"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince! General Huwei is isolated, and he can't get out of bed ...... burned."

A civil official squeezed him on the spot, and the prince hurriedly looked back and found that there were three fewer military attachés, so he coughed with embarrassment.

"Hmph~"

Emperor Shunyao slapped the dragon chair angrily and asked: "Where did Zhao Yunxuan die, I ordered that kid to enter Beijing in October, and now it looks like the middle of the month, why hasn't he entered Beijing to take up his post?"

"Your Majesty, all the state capitals are pestering him not to let him go......"

A minister stepped forward and said: "Seventeen state capitals have sent people to Ningzhou to study epidemic prevention strategies, it is said that he has set up a medical academy, specializing in training female doctors and battlefield first aid, and the border generals have sent people to squat at the door and spend a lot of money to recruit his students!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Shunyao was curious: "What is the difference between the people in this medical school and the military doctors, and it is worth sending people from the border to recruit them?"

Zhao Yunxuan's students are naturally proficient in the art of epidemic prevention......

The minister straightened up and replied: "However, the first aid only targets the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and can only treat ordinary common diseases, but it takes seven or eight years to train a qualified military doctor, to say the least, but he can be out of the army in three months, which can be called a god's speed!"

"Three months?"

Emperor Shunyao raised his head in surprise and beckoned: "Xuantai Hospital will bring some points into the hall and ask him if this first aid is really qualified!"

"Xuantai Hospital ...... to enter the hall"

An old eunuch stepped forward and shouted, and a blue-robed imperial physician hurriedly rushed into the hall, and after kneeling down, he listened to the emperor's question, and sneered and said: "It's just a skin, it's not as good as a bone-setting doctor, and the apprentices of the imperial hospital are all better than their medical skills!"

"Then you tell me ......"

Emperor Shunyao pointed at him and asked, "Why did the border generals send people to squat, could it be that they have no eyes, and how many qualified military doctors can you train in a year?"

"Go back to the emperor! Twenty or thirty people a year is not a problem, and many living apprentices can do it......"

The imperial doctor knelt down and said: "The border pass robbery is to prevent the enemy from poisoning and spreading plagues such as corpse plague, Weichen does not dare to deceive the saint, although Zhao Yunxuan's medical skills are superficial, but the epidemic prevention methods are indeed clever, I am too."

The hospital has followed the epidemic prevention regulations and has effectively controlled the flu!"

"Father, the emperor, the son knows something about this matter......"

The prince raised his hand and said: "The first aid is better than the quantity, it is not a problem to train thousands of people a year, and there are mostly bruises and injuries in the army, and it can also be used by military doctors, and there are also Han Ji's life-sustaining pills and intermittent creams, only they can use them!"

"Why, didn't Han Ji give the ancient recipe, why didn't he use ......?"

Emperor Shunyao looked at the imperial doctor suspiciously, and the imperial doctor said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty! They fellow villagers help their fellow villagers, and the methods they use are all hidden, and the ministers send people to ask, but they are used as monkeys, and the medical and nursing college is full of Ningzhou people, and outsiders can't enter at all!"

"Doctor, what you say is biased......

Prince Duan turned sideways and said: "Don't you hide it when you teach the apprentice, for fear that the apprentice will starve to death to the master, and the people have already contributed the ancient recipe to the emperor, and you still want to rob other people's jobs and let you contribute the ancestral secret recipe, are you happy?"

"Your Highness's words are reasonable......"

Immediately, a Ningzhou official jumped out and said: "We Ningzhou people are also Dashun people, what's wrong with keeping a hand to support our family, all the skills will be handed over to your Tai Hospital, let them drink the northwest wind, you will be happy, right?"

"Okay! stop yelling......"

Emperor Shunyao waved his hand and said: "Since the medical school is so sought-after, then move the medical school to the capital and continue to be under the control of Zhao Yunxuan, so that he will not miss my errand, and he will not have to run to Ningzhou in the second place, and the Ministry of Rites will draft a document and send it down!"

"Obey the order!"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu bent down and saluted, and the imperial doctor retreated to the end in a stupid manner.

"Your Majesty......!

A minister came out and said: "Ningzhou Tongzhi Shangsheng, Ningzhou 68 large and small commercial houses and workshops, all moved out of Ningzhou overnight, to Yuzhou to set up a head office, now Lantai County Xie Ji Armory Workshop also applied, to move the workshop to Yuzhou Tanhua County!"

"Yuzhou?"

Emperor Shunyao straightened up and said in surprise: "Yuzhou is currently suffering from a serious drought and water transportation is underdeveloped, why do they all want to move to Yuzhou and seek the near and far?"

"Back to the emperor! The original words of the Ningzhou businessmen are that they can't stand it......"

The minister said embarrassedly: "The new Lantai magistrate county checked three times a day, after checking the shop and the workshop, and after checking the workshop, the house was checked, and several nearby counties were all in trouble, and they were worried that the business would be yellow if they continued to investigate, so they simply moved out of the land of right and wrong, and Ningzhou's tax revenue was afraid to be sharply reduced!"

"Bastard, can't he be a county official......"

Emperor Shunyao said angrily: "People's business is booming, sticking money to build ordnance for our dynasty, as soon as he goes, everyone runs out, Xie Ji's armory workshop is moving, and the ordnance capital is not rising with the tide, let him invite me to bring people back, one less I will ask him!"

"Your Majesty, Yuzhou is in drought every year, you have to think about it for the people of Yuzhou......"

An old minister stepped forward and said crookedly: "I Yuzhou up and down to eat milk, please Ningzhou businessmen to help the poor and disaster relief, the people have repaired the road and wharf, don't pay to build a workshop for them, just hope that they can come to Yuzhou to help the suffering, Your Majesty can't let them go back!"

"You make it clear......"

Emperor Shunyao was surprised: "Merchants are seeking profits, and if they want to move, they should also move to the richer Huaiyang Strait, Yuzhou is barren land, and there are nine years of famine in ten years, what kind of conditions has Yuzhou opened to lead them to relocate collectively?"

"This is a blessing from Prince Duan, and His Royal Highness has always mediated it......"

The old man arched his hand towards Prince Duan, and Prince Duan immediately stepped out and said: "Father, the child is worried about the victims of the disaster in Yuzhou, and when he was still in Ningzhou, he encouraged the merchants to share the worries of our dynasty, and at the same time to help the disaster and alleviate poverty, he can also increase taxes, why not?"

"Oh?"

Emperor Shunyao said seriously: "You should talk carefully, how to help the poor in disasters and how to increase taxes?"

"Father, the people of Yuzhou are not as good as working in farming, and the Lanshuihe Commercial Bank needs a lot of labor to develop several new industries, and the wages are better than theirs

The land is also abundant, and it can also drive the development of the whole Yuzhou......"

Prince Duan said loudly: "If you don't work, you can also farm, Lanshui River has cultivated a kind of hardy and drought-tolerant potatoes, you don't need to take care of it, throw a little water into the ground, the yield per mu can reach about 4,000 catties, and it can be harvested twice a year!"

"Isn't it so high? Isn't the yield per mu about 8,000 catties a year......

There was an uproar in the hall, and Emperor Shunyao was shocked, and said: "Don't fool me if I don't know how to farm, where are the potatoes you are talking about, have you brought them into the capital?"

"Father, please wait, the son will order someone to send him into the palace......"

Prince Duan walked to the front of the main hall with a smile and shouted, and soon several palace maids walked in with silver plates, and when they opened it, they were full of fragrant delicacies, and there was a potato on each tray.

"Father, please see, this is the potato ...... cultivated by the Lanshui River Commercial Bank."

Prince Duan picked up a potato and introduced: "Erchen has made it into fried shredded pork with potatoes, stewed pork belly with potatoes, mashed potatoes and potato chips, my father can taste it!"

"Bring it on!"

Emperor Shunyao beckoned impatiently, after all, the Great Shun Dynasty is also the people's food for the sky, and when the palace maids knelt in front of the dragon chair with silver plates, the emperor did not hesitate to pick up the chopsticks and taste them one by one, and the food that could be sent to the main hall naturally passed the drug test.

"Huh, isn't this the potato chips made by that girl in Yongning, I just ate ...... yesterday?"

Emperor Shunyao ate a piece of potato chips and kept nodding, and Prince Duan smiled: "Father, this way of eating was invented by Yongning, but I didn't expect her to be in a hurry to offer treasures and let her sons sacrifice ugliness!"

"Haha~"

Emperor Shunyao smiled heartily: "I don't know if it's a potato, that girl sells it to me, let me guess what it's made of, but this potato stew tastes better, serve it and let all Aiqing taste it!"

"The emperor gives food!"

The old eunuch shouted in a loud voice, and the ministers were full of praise for eating, not to mention the novelty of eating potatoes for the first time, how could the dishes made by the imperial kitchen be not delicious.

"Your Majesty!"

A minister hurriedly knelt down and said: "If this thing can really produce 4,000 catties per mu, what is there to fear in the future when it encounters drought, the minister implores the emperor to promulgate a decree to cultivate potatoes throughout the country, fill my Dashun granary, and benefit my Dashun people!"

"Don't! Don't ......"

Prince Duan arched his hand and said: "Potatoes are the treasure of hunger, planting in the land of fish and rice can naturally increase yield, but no one can stand eating potatoes every day, and the sons choose to plant in Yuzhou, one is that the poor people do not dislike it, and the other is to prevent the enemy from stealing it!"

"Well, that's ......."

Emperor Shunyao nodded and praised: "Prince Duan is very thoughtful, but the people in other places also want to taste it, once it is shipped out, it will be leaked, and I think this potato is really good, and I will not get tired of eating it a few times a month!"

"It can be processed and taken out, air-dried, boiled, fried, and sold as long as it does not sprout......

Prince Duan said with a smile: "Scarcity is expensive, let's use worthless potatoes to fool foreigners, exchange them for silver, exchange for their war horses, and when they are tired of eating, they will have a dump, half the price for their iron ore and copper money, so that they can't make swords if they want to fight!"

"Yes, what Your Highness said is really good......

The Manchu Dynasty praised all the civil and military forces, and the emperor was even more happy, saying a bunch of words to praise Prince Duan, and handed him several important errands one after another.

"Lao Jiu! you can......"

The crown prince walked up to Prince Duan and sneered: "You have always been above the top, but I didn't expect that now you have become a parrot, you can't change Zhao Yunxuan's rhetoric, but you are really reluctant to let your daughter play a good son-in-law!"

"Big brother!"

Prince Duan smiled proudly: "You don't want to be yin and yang, let your seventeenth sister restrain a little, an old girl drills into someone's house in the middle of the night, what does it look like to let people drive out, hahaha......"
