Chapter 20: Out of Beijing

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, how many times has he supervised Jinyiwei. But what Jinyiwei is best at today is still killing people, or adding one more thing, which is to raid the house.

A lot of delicate things are done very reluctantly, such as burying dark piles. On the contrary, many of Jin Ying's methods are more delicate, at least in southern Xinjiang, Vietnam, the old port, and Malacca, and other places have a simple but operational intelligence network. A lot of Zhu Qizhen's information on the sea was reported by Jin Ying's Dongchang.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen didn't care about one or two lives for a long time.

It's just that now between Daming and Watt Thorn, it is a decisive battle step by step. Zhu Qizhen also needs to prepare, and tile spurs also need to prepare.

Therefore, although it was a shame to be calculated by the tile thorn, Zhu Qizhen did not lose his mind, and he was angry for a while and ruined his long-prepared plan.

Therefore, if Bafahan is an ordinary person, Zhu Qizhen doesn't have to ask at all, but he is the deputy envoy of the tile spur, so he must pay attention to the ways and means.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that Ma Shun played very delicately this time, and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister tortured Bafahan, he was very careful, and Bafahan definitely didn't have a single external injury. I can't see the clue to the work of that family. ”

Ma Shun added a sentence in his heart, and said secretly: "Those who can see it also know that this is Jinyiwei's technique, and they know what to say and what not to say." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Not bad. ”

Zhu Qizhen is trying to find a way to deal with Ma Shun's aftermath, such as planting a dirty mess for this deputy envoy and managing it in prison for a few days, anyway, the living environment in the prison is too normal to die of disease.

And Zhu Qizhen felt that he didn't want to tear his face with him first, and he probably didn't want to tear his face with him first, as long as it wasn't too much, both sides would have a tacit understanding.

However, Jin Yiwei did a good job this time. Zhu Qizhen was also relieved.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen became serious and said: "The Forbidden City is the place of my heart, and there are ears and eyes of thorns, this plan will never work, Wang Daban, you will personally grasp this matter, and dig three feet into the ground at all costs, and you will also dig this out." ”

"Otherwise, in the future, Wang Daban will not have to worry about the affairs in the palace."

When Wang Zhen heard this, he immediately threw himself on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”

In any case, Wang Zhennai was the first eunuch. Many things in the palace are in charge of Wang Zhen, and if something happens, how can Zhu Qizhen not look for him.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go and do things, before I come back from Hebei, I must know the result." ”

"Yes." The two replied in unison.

This incident did not stop Zhu Qizhen's footsteps, and even accelerated Zhu Qizhen's footsteps, after all, the investigation in the Forbidden City will inevitably lead to chickens and dogs.

Or some people have other thoughts, Zhu Qizhen is about to go out, and after he comes back,

By the way, adjust the defense.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen didn't see the burning flame in Wang Zhen's eyes.

Originally, it was a simple investigation of the tile's spies, but it set off a big wave of exaggeration.

At the beginning of March, Zhu Qizhen ordered the queen to supervise the country, and the court affairs were handled by the cabinet, and major events were reported to the cabinet. The little things are at their disposal.

Although Zhu Qizhen did not say Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen listened to the queen during this period of time and answered the queen's questions.

Then, Zhu Qizhen brought more than 10,000 Beijing troops, all of whom were the elite of the army, Weiyuan Bo Fang Jin, Guo Deng, Mao Rui and other guards escorted the holy car south.

It can be said that Zhu Qizhen brought all the elite generals in the southern army, which is also the safety of these generals and shows the emperor's trust in them.

In the battle of Uliangha, they didn't catch a single hair. On the contrary, looking at the Duke of Chengguo and their promotion to the knighthood, it is inevitable that there will be a drop in the eyes.

Just a little reassuring.

Zhu Qizhen went east along the Lugou New River.

This embankment has been in use for several years and has been stained with some traces of time. Zhu Qizhen summoned the old people he had seen at the beginning, but many of the old people he had seen back then were no longer there.

However, I heard them say that although there have been frequent locust droughts in recent years, there have been harvests by relying on the Lugou River, and life is not as good as before, but it is still passable.

When asked about this year's harvest, he said that although it was dry, it was better than in previous years, at least it snowed last winter, and there were a few rains this year.

Although the rain was small, like cat urine, it also made the crops wet. This year's harvest should be better than usual.

Zhu Qizhen personally inspected the wheat field.

The wheat in the third month of the lunar calendar has begun to be jointed.

Looking at the green wheat, Zhu Qizhen was also a lot happier.

Although if this piece of wheat were placed in the future generations, it would definitely be thought that this wheat would grow too ugly, sparse, yellow and small. After all, without chemical fertilizer, the fertility of the field is insufficient, and even if it is planted intensively, it will not grow, so the spacing of the wheat is much larger than now.

In the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has been insisting on spring ploughing.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen is just pretending, and there is little time to actually go to the ground, but when the eunuchs are farming, Zhu Qizhen is watching from the side.

At the very least, Zhu Qizhen has to make sure that he is not an idiot in agriculture.

After all, the main group of people in the Ming Dynasty are farmers, and the largest industry is agriculture, and it is absolutely impossible to control such an agricultural country without a basic concept of agriculture.

Not to mention anything else, Zhu Qizhen can see that the biggest problem in these lands is the lack of fertilizer. After all, the land planted by Zhu Qizhen in the palace can be said to be a collection of thousands of favors, and in order to behave in front of Zhu Qizhen, the eunuchs can say that almost every wheat seedling is served as a flower.

Zhu Qizhen also saw that he never expected that the ancient agricultural high-yield technology

Technique, that is the Ward Field Method. The yield of wheat per mu in the north is between two and three stones, but the field in the palace is actually as much as five or six stones.

This is the brilliance of the Ward Method.

Zhu Qizhen was also shocked at the time, but later learned that this thing existed in the Han Dynasty, but it was too troublesome, too troublesome, too troublesome.

There is only one piece of land in the palace, which can be done without counting.

Even if a strong laborer is in the field 24 hours a day, he cannot take care of only five acres of land, and he must have sufficient water, fertilizer, and so on.

Ordinary people simply can't reach it, which is why the district field method has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and everyone knows that he is highly productive, but almost all dynasties have not implemented it much.

The biggest shock to Zhu Qizhen from this incident was that agricultural reform has never been an agricultural problem, at least in ancient times, some high-yield technologies.

For example, in water conservancy projects, if you can water the wheat once more before it is ripe, you can harvest more wheat. Any farmer knows, but this is the time of spring drought in the north, how can we ensure that every acre of land can be watered once at that time.

This is the big problem that Zhu Qizhen wants to solve.

From Beijing to Tianjin, just over 100 miles away, Zhu Qizhen walked for three days to inspect agricultural production, and most of the fertile fields around Beijing were noble. These fields are not enough to be observed, but the lower reaches of the Lugou River, where they have been repeatedly flooded, provide sufficient samples.

Even provided Zhu Qizhen with other samples.

For example, the speed at which the lord expands his fields.

Before the Lugou River was not controlled, this piece of land was flooded every year, with very few harvests, almost wasteland, but now it is the most affected by the Lugou River.

And the nobles are with them, and there are already some noble Zhuangzi.

Zhu Qizhen also asked, it was a legal transaction. Goods and goods. There are no violations. But it is precisely because everything is legal and compliant that Zhu Qizhen is even more worried.

You don't have to think about it to know that it will continue to develop like this.

Within a few decades, Hebei will change from the granary of the Ming Dynasty to the granary of the nobles.

Land annexation, a congenital disease of ancient China's agricultural country, was recognized by Zhu Qizhen for the first time. made Zhu Qizhen have to think about a question.

Emperor Taizu used almost cruel means to destroy all the rich households with a land of more than 3,000 mu, and even Zhu Qizhen remembered that it seemed that Emperor Taizu had a pamphlet, recording all the families with a land of more than 3,000 mu in the world, and put it in the hands of Emperor Taizu.

At this cost, a huge empire with a well-established Jiali system and a small-scale peasant economy was established. How long can it last?

Others don't know, but Zhu Qizhen looks at this land change, but he has a feeling of seeing history. I also saw the bright light in the middle of the day.

It's like the middle of the day, because after noon, the sun starts to get closer to the horizon.
