Chapter 80: It's All Rumors
After coming out of the old mansion of the Zhou family.
Yan Chengjin couldn't help but say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness is so smart, after seeing His Highness's methods today, the minister suddenly felt that the rumors about His Highness outside are all rumors!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, where could he hear such praise, his tail was about to rise to the sky, and he said triumphantly: "Liu Banban only taught the palace once, and the palace will be." ”
It was actually taught by Liu Jin.
Liu Jin is really a bad embryo......
Specially teach Zhu Houzhao to be bad, how to have fun and how to play.
According to historical records, Liu Jin not only taught Zhu Houzhao badly, but also secretly controlled the Ming dynasty, became the richest man in the world at that time.
It is said that Liu Jin is also on the list of the 50 richest people in the world in the "Wall Street Journal" in a thousand years, and he is a god-like man.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia and others joined forces and worked hard for three years, not only did they not bring Liu Jin down, but they were all made by Liu Jin, and only Li Dongyang, who endured humiliation and burden, stayed.
But now it's okay, Liu Jin was driven to the Western Regions, in the future, by the prince's side, except for my boss Gao, there will be no one who can instigate him to do bad things, drive Liu Jin away, Yan Chengjin feels that this credit is greater than the credit of those masters who teach Zhu Houzhao to be a good person all day long in Minglun Hall, and suddenly found that he has sublimated again.
Zhou Yu raised his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and sniffed, he didn't want to go to the palace to complain, but what is the use of complaining, Your Majesty is such a lone seedling, can you still strangle it to death?
Now I regret everything, when Wang Shu took the lead in advising His Majesty to take a concubine, why didn't he follow the coaxing.
No matter how hard life is, you have to go on, right? Suddenly took a deep breath and cheered up: "Someone! ”
"Sir, why are you crying?" Zhou Wangcai smiled.
Zhou Yu slapped it and kicked it again: "You laugh at a fart!" Bring a couple of veterinarians and get me the cows! With that, he strode out the door.
These days to raise running chickens, Zhou Yu has a lot of experience in breeding and breeding, first of all, to find out the best cattle breeds, and then do something ashamed, speaking of which, but also to build a cattle house in the wasteland outside the city, otherwise where do the cattle live?
It was only in October, the first snow fell in the capital, the weather became cold, charcoal was in short supply, and the pedestrians on the chessboard street were exhaling white air.
cabinet
Li Dongyang and the three of them are worried about plowing cattle, without cattle, although manpower can also plow, but can it be compared with cattle, oxen can plough an acre of land in a day, and people can't plow half an acre in three days.
If you miss the season, your harvest will be greatly affected.
What makes Li Dongyang and others most sad is that since the promulgation of the ban on cattle, the number of cattle in Daming has finally improved, and now a large number of them have been lost.
Liu Jian sighed, and finally turned over the sparse music on the bookcase, and suddenly his face tightened, and he became angry: "Chang Ningbo Bo bends the law for personal gain, he really deserves to be punished!" ”
Li Dongyang: "Why is Gong Liu so angry?" ”
Liu Jian said: "Binzhi, look at Shuntianfu's impeachment of Chang Ningbo!" ”
Li Dongyang took a look and saw that Zhou Yu forcibly occupied the cattle of many farmers in Shuntian Mansion, which numbered 100 heads.
Liu Qing's head was too big, and he couldn't arrest Chang Ningbo, so he had to go to this sparse letter.
"Let's go, go find Your Majesty!"
Li Dongyang and the three of them came to the warm pavilion angrily and presented the Shuntianfu's impeachment of Zhou Yu to Emperor Hongzhi.
Dare to rob cattle!
Emperor Hongzhi thought of the Queen Mother, but the next moment, his eyes became sharp: "Go and investigate, if what Liu Qing said is true, I will not be spared!" ”
In a village in Daxing County, under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhou Yu said to the veterinarian and the cowherd: "Take a closer look at me, the fine cattle breeds are all taken away for me, you see, what the cattle have thinned, don't don't."
The law of the strong pays attention to the combination of strong and strong, the so-called dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix......
Zhou Yu has long kept it in mind.
As long as you look at the strong cattle breed, take them all away, don't let them? Thirty taels for sale or not?
"The villain doesn't want silver...... The villain doesn't sell! "The farmer who had been forced to buy cattle cried that there were no cattle and that the land was useless.
Mu Bin rushed over with a horse, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but stop in front of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was already unhappy: "The old man spends money, what's the matter with you!" ”
Mu Bin was right: "Xiaguan came here by His Majesty's imperial order, if the uncle insists on doing so, Xiaguan has no choice but to take you back to face the saint." ”
"Liu Qing, that dog thing! The old man spent money, what's in his way?! Zhou Yu blushed, his eyes rolled, and after thinking about it, he smiled flatteringly: "Commander Mu can see clearly, the old man is buying cattle and giving silver!" Give fifty taels! The old man doesn't do bad things, he just wants to spend some silver. ”
Mu Bin watched him give the silver with his own eyes, and then returned to the cabinet to restore his life.
After listening to Mu Bin's report, Li Dongyang's faces became strange, and Emperor Hongzhi had no concept of the purchasing power of fifty taels, so he asked: "Li Qing's family, the purchase and sale of these thirty taels of silver has bullied the villagers?" ”
Li Dongyang shook his head: "It's a loss, ordinary people's annual wages are only six or seven taels of silver, and thirty taels is enough to buy a piece of fertile land in the capital for a family of three to eat for a year." ”
Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, and an ordinary Beijing official only had a dozen taels of silver for a year, so he knew what fifty taels of silver was.
But, this is the strange place, where does Zhou Yu seem to be a person with a conscience?
Xiao Jing said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, a few days ago...... His Royal Highness stripped the clothes of a little eunuch in the palace and left the palace, as if he went to the Zhou Mansion with Yan Chengjin..."
Needless to say from Xiao Jing, Emperor Hongzhi also guessed the next plot.
A few days ago, Yan Chengjin mentioned the law of the strong, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, he went to Changning Bofu with the crown prince again, and at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi secretly hoped that this law of the strong was true.
"Call Yan Chengjin."
Han Yuan,
Yan is already writing the "Law of the Strong in Animal Husbandry".
If the selection of optimal breeding can be implemented, then there must be a book with a general direction to guide, of course, it is only a symptom, it is not written deeply, and it has to be studied in depth by veterinarians.
Among them, the principle of evolution was written on the basis of dragons giving birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the conjectures of modern evolution theory were implied in it, and they were written in an extremely obscure manner.
During the Xiaoice period, the number of cattle plummeted, not only ploughing cattle, but also war horses.
Shaanxi Yuanma Temple undertook the task of transporting military horses to the three sides of Shaanxi, Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu, but due to the advent of the Xiaoice River period, the number of horses decreased sharply.
The number of ordinary war horses was more than 10,000, but in the middle of Hongji, it dropped by more than half, and by the end of Hongji, there were only more than 2,000 left, about one-fifth of the heyday.
Without horses, there are no cavalry.
The Tatars relied on cavalry to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and there was no cavalry, which led to a sharp reduction in the defense capability of the Ming frontier and a weak nine-sided border, let alone attacking the Tatars.
More than 2,000 horses, divided into three border guards, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, hundreds of horses in each guard, into the steppe is not enough for the Tatars to stuff their teeth.
In the later period, a serious war horse crisis broke out, and the famous cabinet minister Yang Yiqing was sent to this place to rectify the horse administration, and the road to promotion was officially opened.
Yan Chengjin estimated that the performance of the Yuanma Temple in Shaanxi should be about to be sent to the capital.
Why did Taizu deliberately promulgate a ban on cattle?
So much emphasis is placed on farming.
It is because the number of cultivators in the Ming Dynasty has not been able to rise, and it is extremely important for an agrarian society.
If the implementation of selective breeding, it may bring a new level of livestock such as cattle, war horses and pigs.
At this moment, a little eunuch probed outside the door of the duty room, and when he saw Yan Chengjin Yile, he walked over: "Lord Yan, Your Majesty is invited." ”
Yan Chengjin took out a tael of silver: "What does Your Majesty want to see me?" ”
The little eunuch was overjoyed: "It's for the prince's departure from the palace." ”
When Yan Chengjin came to the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi: "A few days ago, the prince went to Changningbo Mansion with you?" ”
Yan Chengjin broke out in a cold sweat and instigated the prince to leave the palace, but it was a big crime, should you admit it?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with a smile: "This time, Changning Bo chose to breed and cultivate cattle, how sure are you?" ”
Yan Cheng blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "Twenty percent ......"
