Zhou Jing also expressed his opinion reasonably, paused, and then continued: "The Liu Jin mentioned by Liu Gong just now, he is just a talented man, and now he has become a businessman who chases fame and fortune, how can he easily believe his words." ”

"The Golden Continent he said is full of gold, do you think it's possible?"

"And he said that there are several high-yield crops in this Golden Continent, and this acre of land can produce dozens of stones of grain per mu, do you think it is credible? You must know that even if our Daming is the best high-grade paddy field in the south of the Yangtze River, the yield per mu is only five or six stones, and what is the difference between the grain crops with a yield of dozens of stones per mu and the Arabian Nights? ”

"This..."

The few people present were unable to answer for a while, because these things have not been confirmed yet, and naturally no one dares to answer with certainty.

"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that there is no need to make a big fuss, it is normal and good to be cold in winter, and the major thing now is to prevent the little prince from going south."

"What's more, over the years, Your Majesty has worked hard to recuperate, and the national strength of our dynasty is thriving, coupled with the assistance of the sages of the court, all parts of the Ming Dynasty are safe and secure, the people are rich and the country is strong, and the granaries all over the country have long been full of grain, and some of the old grains are even moldy, which is enough to cope with any famine, and there is no need to deliberately mobilize and hoard food."

At this time, Ma Wensheng also stood up and expressed his opinion.

"Zhou Gong, this Golden Continent is far away from our Daming, we don't know the specific situation, so it is inconvenient to comment, but what Liu Jin said about my Daming is the monsoon monsoon, and it will never be wrong to flood in the south and drought in the north or drought in the north and drought in the south."

"In addition, the cold weather is not without basis, the palace will pick ice every year, you only need to check the relevant records to know that the thickness of the ice is absolutely related to the cold weather."

"This Guangdong region is far away from Beizhili, how can it be compared."

"In addition, although this Liu Jin is young, he is a son of a master, he has a good chest, although he is still a talent, but he can share his majesty's worries."

"In the past winter, in the entire capital, almost every day, at least hundreds of people were frozen to death and starved to death, but this winter, because of Liu Jin, the people in the capital used cheap honeycomb coal, and the price of charcoal and firewood also plummeted, and it was even more rare because of the production of honeycomb coal, which absorbed a large number of displaced people, so this winter, we could not see a single begging homeless person in the capital, and did not hear the news that someone froze to death or starved to death."

"And this clairvoyant eye was also invented by Liu Jin, because of this clairvoyance, our border soldiers were able to hit the little prince hard and make great contributions, although Liu Jin did not go to the front line to kill the enemy, but how can this credit be ignored?"

"Although this Liu Jin is young and still a talent, he knows that he is loyal to the monarch to serve the country, share worries for the monarch, and solve problems for the country, which is really a rare talent."

Liu Jian was angry with Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng, this Liu Jin was useless by Zhou Jing, and what he deduced from his own research was said by Ma Wensheng to be a big fuss, which made him very annoyed.

So he also hurriedly stood up to express his opposition and expressed his opinions and opinions, although the meaning of the words was more obscure, saying that Liu Jin shared worries for the monarch and solved problems for the country, but in fact, there were words in the words, and in disguise Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng were vegetarian and inactive, and they were empty in a high position, but they did nothing.

Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng are both veterans of officialdom, so naturally they also heard the meaning of Liu Jian's words, and their faces turned red with anger all of a sudden.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, glanced at each other, and hurriedly came out to talk to the mud.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Gong said is not completely unreasonable, although this Liu Jin is young, he is indeed a talented person, although some of the words Liu Jin said are a bit fantastical, but there are also merits."

"The cold weather does have a great impact on agriculture, maybe as Liu Gong said, there will be a situation of poor harvest and no harvest, but what Zhou Gong and Ma Gong said is also reasonable."

"This winter is like this, the cold is normal, and there is no fuss, I have a Ming Dynasty and the people are safe, and the official warehouses in various places are abundant, which is enough to deal with the possible famine."

Xie Qian said with a smile.

"yes, yes~"

"What Liu Gong said is also reasonable, we should be prepared, but there is no need for large-scale transshipment and hoarding of grain, in my opinion, we can conduct an inspection of the official warehouses in the north, as long as the official warehouses in various places are abundant and there is enough food, we can naturally cope with the possible famine."

"If there is a shortage of grain in the official warehouses in various places, we can transfer grain from the south to replenish it."

"The big thing now is still the matter of the little Tatar prince going south to commit crimes, once this little prince goes south to plunder, he will definitely kill and plunder at that time, and the corpses will be everywhere."

"They are like a wolf, in this cold winter, cold and hungry, and now they are injured, then it is even more vicious, and we need to be more careful and cautious."

Li Dongyang also said along.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak, frowning and pondering, looking at the goose feather snow outside from time to time, and listening to the cold wind whistling by.

He still believes in the judgment of his teacher Liu Jian, because he also believes in Liu Jin now, this is a person who can really do things and solve problems, and he is much more useful than those people in the court who can only talk about benevolence and morality.

At least the winter is cold now, but there are no people who freeze to death in the capital, no people starve to death, and all the displaced people who were disliked by everyone in the past have become fragrant buns, and they have been robbed clean by these coal mining workshops.

And if there is no clairvoyance, maybe the little prince will have been looting in the Ming Dynasty now, and there will be corpses all over the field, and I don't know how many people will die under their butcher's knives, and I don't want to sleep peacefully as an emperor.

Just thought of Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng's words, and after listening to Xie Qian and Li Dongyang's opinions, Emperor Hongzhi also hesitated, this winter is indeed cold, and his teacher's inference may not be wrong.

Think about the treasury that can already starve rats to death, and then think about Zhou Jing's skin, if he insists on supporting Liu Jian to transfer and hoard food first, maybe he will be annoyed by this Zhou Jing for three days, and his own internal money will finally save some silver.

"Let's do it according to the meaning of Xie Qing's family first, first send someone to check the granaries in the north, if there is a shortage, immediately transfer grain from the south to make up for it, and then talk about the little prince's southward affairs......"
