"Our family is just waiting for adults." Chen Hong said with a smile, reaching out and pulling Yu Maoheng aside.

Regarding Chen Hong's thoughts, Yu Maoheng is not unable to see it.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and you can smell it if you show a little bit of air.

Of course, Yu Maoheng knew what Chen Hong wanted to do, but he avoided it.

It's not because he doesn't want to befriend Chen Hong, or because he doesn't like Chen Hong.

Now that the struggle between the court and the central government is so fierce, the ministers are fighting back and forth, and at this time, the benefits of making friends with a powerful eunuch in the palace are naturally self-evident.

But Yu Maoheng didn't plan to do this, he was now very clear about his positioning, he was a firecracker thrown by His Majesty, and it was not time to explode.

At this moment, Chen Hong came to find him, and Yu Maoheng didn't know what Chen Hong was going to do, but he still followed him to the corner, looked at Chen Hong quietly, and waited for the other party to speak first.

"Our family came over, because we have something to say to Master Yu." Chen Hong said with a smile.

"I don't know what Your Majesty meant, or what Gonggong Chen meant?" Yu Maoheng asked directly.

Yu Maoheng didn't have to ask, nor did he have low emotional intelligence, but he had no way not to ask.

If it is Chen Hong's matter, then he can refuse, but if it is His Majesty's will, then there is no way for him to refuse.

Chen Hong smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "Our family is not interesting. ”

After hearing this, Yu Maoheng understood, so he smiled and said, "Please teach my father-in-law." ”

"These days, I'm afraid it's going to be a little unpeaceful. Master Yu went back to recuperate for a few days, and if there was anything uncomfortable in his body, let the imperial doctor take care of it. After Chen Hong said this with a smile, he arched his hand at Yu Maoheng.

The meaning is obvious, you go back these days and stay honestly, no matter what happens in the court, don't get involved.

Yu Maoheng instantly understood, and said with a smile: "In this way, thank you father-in-law." ”

The two of them met for a short time, and they didn't say a few words, it was basically like saying hello, and then they separated.

Chen Hong returned to the Qianqing Palace, and Yu Maoheng left the Forbidden City and returned to the Imperial Procuratorate.

Naturally, the news of the Great Dynasty Meeting could not be hidden, and not long after the dispersal of the Dynasty here, the news had already spread throughout the entire officialdom.

For many middle- and lower-level officials, they basically comprehend a few meanings.

One piece of news is that Zhao Nanxing, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, wants to investigate the Ministry of Industry. In this way, it is the Ministry of Industry that is panicking.

Another piece of news is that Han Yi, a university scholar, is going to take over the case of Dongchang.

Some people are optimistic about this, thinking that Zhao Nanxing and Han Yi are their own people, and things will get better; Some people are very pessimistic, thinking that this time I am afraid that something big will happen.

There are all kinds of ideas in the officialdom, but the specific situation depends on the development of things, so no one has expressed any opinions.

At this moment, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi who was standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Looking at Aiqing's expression, it is quite radiant. It seems that Aiqing is doing well these days. ”

Xu Guangqi took a step forward and said gratefully: "It's all Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Glancing at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "There is no need to say this kind of thing." I came to Aiqing today, mainly to ask about the things over there, how is the training? ”

In fact, Zhu Youxiao has always paid attention to how the training is going over there. Even if he didn't ask Xu Guangqi, he was very clear in his heart.

But there are some things you have to know and pretend not to know, and you have to give your subordinates a chance to perform, and you can't force you to pretend to be finished.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao ask this, Xu Guangqi's face suddenly rose.

During this time, Xu Guangqi's life was very good, and with the veteran general Qi Jin present during the training, he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Compared with Qi Jin, Xu Guangqi felt inferior, and at the same time he was very happy in his heart.

Why do you want to train yourself?

It's not because I like to train soldiers, but because the country is troubled and the mountains and rivers are restless, and the country needs strong soldiers to be stable and defend the country in the future.

In such a situation, even if his ability to train soldiers is not so good, he is willing to go all out to do it. This is Xu Guangqi's idea.

It's just that the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

In the face of the cruel reality, his thoughts are vulnerable, which is why he was disheartened and took a resignation book.

But now Xu Guangqi sees hope, although the selection of troops has just been completed, he has already seen the potential of this army.

With 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers as the skeleton, the strong men selected from the 100,000 Beijing battalions formed an army of more than 10,000 people.

It can be said that this is a very elite army, the grain, grass and military supplies are the best, and the firearms are developed by the Hundred Industries Academy.

Xu Guangqi also went to the Baigong Academy, after all, he is also an expert in firearms.

After reading it, Xu Guangqi was overjoyed.

That Bi Maokang is a talent, not only has his own ideas, but also does things in an orderly manner.

Two people interact with each other together, and it can be said that they are very useful to each other. Even Bi Maokang admired Xu Guangqi and always treated Xu Guangqi as a teacher.

He Lao Xu has been able to do things more smoothly, and with so much silver given by His Majesty, there is no constraint at all.

Xu Guangqi is naturally very comfortable working in such an environment.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and listened to him introduce the whole process to himself in detail, and even seemed a little verbose in some places, but Zhu Youxiao did not show an impatient look, and listened with a smile from beginning to end.

Xu Guangqi is not so much talking about things, but he is sharing his joy with himself.

This is what Zhu Youxiao is willing to see as an emperor.

When Xu Guangqi finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao smiled and instructed Chen Hongdao: "Bring a bowl of tea to Xu Aiqing." ”

Xu Guangqi said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After talking about it for a long time, he was indeed thirsty.

When Xu Guangqi finished drinking tea, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I came to Aiqing today, in fact, I have a few things I want to discuss with Aiqing. Asking about military training is the first thing, and it's good to hear Aiqing say that things are going well. ”

"In addition, I have one more thing," Zhu Youxiao said softly, "I heard that Aiqing has been studying agricultural politics in Tianjinwei!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao had known about this matter for a long time, and at the same time, he was planning to use Xu Guangqi in his heart.

You must know that at this point in time, food is a problem that can never be bypassed.

There will be more and more natural disasters, and the people's lives will become more and more difficult.

There is no way to make natural disasters, although it can be supplemented by building water conservancy projects or something, but the reality is that Daming does not have so much money.

Even if you find a way to get the money yourself, it's not something that happens overnight, you need to do it slowly.

Moreover, in this era, productivity is low, and such projects are not easy to do.

Besides, the main problem now is the Xiaoice period, mainly the problem of cold weather.

In such a situation, the best solution is to promote crops with high yields, short production cycles and high resistance to natural disasters.

If there may have been no way before, but now there are, many alien species have been introduced, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, but they have not been popularized, and many places are still unknown.

In this era, the speed of information dissemination is relatively slow, and no one in the middle and senior levels pays attention to this matter, and there is no policy promotion, so they only stay at the small farmers to learn by themselves.

This method is too slow and completely inconsistent with my own ideas, so I have to promote it well, at least so that the people can eat and survive the disaster year.

At the same time, the food problem was solved, and many subsequent problems were solved.

Who was the best at this in the Ming Dynasty?

There is only one answer, and that is Xu Guangqi.

What Zhu Youxiao values most about Xu Guangqi is actually this aspect, not his ability to train soldiers, nor his ability to cast firearms.

In terms of military training and firearms, people can be found to replace them, but to promote crops, Xu Guangqi is the most suitable candidate.

First of all, Xu Guangqi likes to tinker with these, and secondly, he knows how to do it, and he is willing to do it.

You must know that this is probably a thankless task that does not show much merit, and there are really few people who are willing to do it.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Xu Guangqi opened his mouth and said, "The minister is indeed doing such a thing. A few years ago, he had come into contact with some crops from the South Seas, and found that those crops had many advantages, not only high yield, but also strong resistance to natural disasters, and could be planted in many places. ”

Zhu Youxiao also knows this, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown in many places.

Especially potatoes, so the popularity of these two crops can make a lot of useless land grow food, and the same is true for corn.

"Then Aiqing has had any results in the past few years?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and asked.

Xu Guangqi also showed an excited look on his face.

He now feels that His Majesty is really a wise emperor, and His Majesty has already paid attention to this matter before he has played, which shows how good His Majesty's vision is!

Xu Guangqi introduced his experience in detail.

In Xu Guangqi's words, he has been planting for three years.

In Xu Guangqi's introduction, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Because Xu Guangqi has been breeding on the best in the past three years, after cultivation, the seeds can now be planted on a small scale.

This is Xu Guangqi's credit!

Zhu Youxiao's heart suddenly became satisfied.

"In this way, Aiqing can try large-scale planting." Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and said: "As for the place, I am also ready, I can choose a few imperial villages among the Beijing divisions, and the place can be left to Aiqing to choose." ”

Xu Guangqi didn't expect that His Majesty would take out the Imperial Village for experiments, it was His Majesty's field, and it was the private income in His Majesty's palace.

However, Xu Guangqi had to admit that this was the best way.

It is too difficult to use the people's fields for experiments, but the Huangzhuang does not have these problems, because it is His Majesty's private land.

"This matter, Aiqing should do it as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao continued.
