Emperor Hongzhi led a hundred officials, regardless of the cold outside the palace, and waited outside the main hall.

If there was a cold wind, blowing on his cheeks, Yan Chengjin, like a hundred officials, held his hands and looked at the gate of Guangting.

I saw a Confucian figure walking slowly.

Li Zhaofan entered the palace with the equipment, and there were a few Yan Fu's subordinates who helped carry the equipment.

Li Dongyang was excited, my son Zhaofan has been so courteous to His Majesty, but he is still a cloth cloth.

Just these more than 100 steps are enough to shine on the lintel.

He was immersed in the honor of his brain, but suddenly, a steady and peaceful voice broke the silence:

"Li Zhaofan hurry up, Your Majesty can't wait."

In fact, Yan Chengjin felt that it was too cold outside the palace and wanted to warm up his body in the pavilion.

Li Zhaofan raised his legs and ran quickly, but the trained Yan Fu's subordinates ran faster than him.

In a moment, I came to the warm pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't wait for a long time, and said eagerly: "You don't have to salute, start squeezing." ”

Li Zhaofan nodded slightly, lifted the futon, and revealed the freshly steamed peanut discus, which was placed on the oil trough.

Throw over the rope, hang it on the beam, and lift it to hit the wood.

The subordinates slammed hard, slammed the wood on the peanut discus, squeezed into a ball, and dripped a thin line of oil.

It's like ice melting and converging into water.

The aroma is overflowing, and the steam spreads.

It's this fragrant smell!

Emperor Hongzhi and the hundred officials were so shocked that their bodies trembled slightly, and their mouths were open, watching as the oil, which was bigger than peeing, fell into the crockpot.

"There is so much oil hidden in these peanuts."

"It's just a god of natural oil extraction."

The officials sighed, it was too fragrant.

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and looked for Yan Chengjin's figure: "This... Where do these peanuts come from? I haven't heard of it. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the companion of Liu from the East Palace, brought back from Mangara." Yan Chengjin Road.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered the thin, but somewhat handsome eunuch.

Although sesame seeds and rapeseed can produce oil, the amount of oil that can be squeezed is far less than that of peanuts.

And Liu Jin's credit is no less than that of the Three Treasure Eunuchs.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Pass on Liu Jin, I want to reward him!" ”

Your Majesty, Liu Jin is on a business trip.

Yan Chengjin didn't know how to answer for a while, in the eyes of His Majesty, Liu Jin has become a great hero, is it considered a persecution of Zhongliang?

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi and the hundred officials were surprised, and their eyes fell on Xiao Jing.

The eunuchs in the palace are all under the supervision of the celebrants.

Xiao Jing panicked, a few months ago, Liu Jin disappeared, where did he go to find someone?

"Back to Your Majesty, it's better for Lord Yan to announce it, the slave can't announce it."

The officials were even more surprised, and the festive and peaceful atmosphere became strange.

Yan Chengjin coughed dryly: "Liu Jin entered the palace since he was a child, and remembered that he was deeply favored by the emperor, and the imperial court issued an order to promote the official language, so he took the lead and went to Beijing to promote the official language.

Perhaps, this life will not come back alive, Your Majesty should not worry. ”

Li Dongyang was puzzled, no matter how big the Ming Dynasty was, there would be an end.

Even if you go to the farthest Hainan, you will come back in half a year, right?

"Where did Eunuch Liu go?" Emperor Hongzhi was equally puzzled.

"Tatar ......"

Emperor Hongzhi said that now it is the time when the two countries are at war, and he goes to Tatar to promote the official language, isn't this kicking his nose in the face?

"Who sent him, prince?" Emperor Hongzhi held back his anger: "There is no doubt that it must be the crown prince." ”

Yan Chengjin did not speak.

The attention of Emperor Hongzhi and the hundred officials once again fell on peanut oil.

After a while, most of the crockpot oil dripped down.

Yan Chengjin proposed: "Your Majesty, it's better to make two more fried chickens, all the officials have tasted it, but Your Majesty and Gonggong Xiao have not tasted it." ”

Xiao Jing was overjoyed in his heart, you finally said a human word.

Emperor Hongzhi inadvertently rolled his throat, shook his head and sighed: "I don't eat it, it's too wasteful, send it to the dining room." ”

Yan Chengjin couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, this is a peanut brought by the minister from home." ”

Peanut oil can be given to you, but not for nothing.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that he wanted a reward, but he ignored him and said to Li Zhaofan: "Li Aiqing's adopted son has made great contributions and gave him two thousand taels of silver." ”

"Student Shane!"

Li Zhaofan bowed slightly, with a calm and steady posture, which was the same as Li Dongyang.

Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied, but he had the demeanor of Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang's face flushed with excitement, and when he heard Emperor Hongzhi praise his son, he was happier than he praised him.

Since the death of the fourth brother, the adopted son has become a lonely and miserable person.

I didn't expect that there would be such a big luck.

"How about promoting this peanut to the world?"

Emperor Hongzhi turned around and looked at Baiguan.

The hundred officials bowed their heads together, and it was difficult to issue the decrees of the imperial court, and some prefectures and counties did not plant after receiving the order.

"Your Majesty, I don't know the harvest of this thing, nor the season of it, let alone that it's not a staple food.

If you take the liberty of changing crops, I don't know how many people in the world will not be hungry! ”

After all, arable land is limited, and if you plant one thing, you can't grow others.

And it is at stake for the lives of the people, and they may not listen.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Yan Chengjin agreed with Liu Jian's admonition,

Just like the farmer's uncle in later generations, planting corn this year and peanuts next year, changing the crop is a very risky thing.

It is possible that there will be no harvest and a year of waste.

Li Dongyang sighed: "It's a pity that such a good thing can't be promoted." ”

"The minister has a word that he doesn't know ......"

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Yan Chengjin directly, and almost shouted: "Say it quickly, you want to die in a hurry!" ”

It seems that there is a conditioned reflex, Yan Chengjin decided to change the mantra next time.

He pondered for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty still remembers that there is a Tuntian camp in the Beijing camp?" ”

"I can order the soldiers of the Tuntian camp to go to Guangxi to cultivate, where there are large areas of fertile wasteland waiting to be reclaimed."

"Clearing the wasteland, no matter what the harvest is, will not affect the staple food of the people."

"The peanuts received can be sold to good towns, pressed into oil, like official salt, and flowed into the market, so that the people can eat oil."

In later generations, Guangxi was also a major grain-producing province, no lower than Jiangnan.

But it is as desolate as Hainan, a place of exile.

First, there are few people, and second, the people have no iron tools to open up the wasteland.

Let the Tuntian camp go to the wasteland to open up the wasteland, it will be different.

Emperor Hongzhi doubted: "Such a desolate place, can produce grain?" ”

"Your Majesty might as well order someone to go first, and the minister will recommend Li Kang."

Hainan opened up wasteland, and Li Kang and Xu Jinzhong went together.

In terms of planting alone, Xu Jinzhong is far inferior to Li Kang, and it would be a feat if he could reclaim the land in Guangxi five hundred years in advance.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that it made sense, there was nothing to plant in winter, and the Tuntian camp was in the capital, and he ate military pay in vain.

Soon, he ordered Your Excellency to mobilize 2,000 soldiers from the Tuntian Battalion to Guangxi.

"I have found that the Tuntian camp is becoming more and more important."

Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao stole a roast chicken in Yan's Mansion and presented it to Empress Zhang: "Queen Mother, my father said that you can't eat it, and the son brought you fried chicken." ”

Wei Tai broke off a chicken leg and placed it in front of Empress Zhang.

Empress Zhang gently tore off some of them, put them in her mouth, and spit them out uncomfortably.

"The queen mother thinks it doesn't taste good?" Zhu Houzhao blinked.

"No, this palace may miss my brother too much, I don't know, your uncle can go back to Daming in this life."

Although Emperor Hongji ordered a ban on mouths.

But Empress Zhang knocked on the side and knew that her brother had gone to sea.

"Mother, Your Majesty is here."

Emperor Hongzhi walked into the dormitory, saw the roast chicken on the bookcase, and began to eat it.

"From the dining room? It tastes good, I like it. ”

Zhu Houzhao was very distressed, and deliberately stimulated: "The roast chicken that my father ate was fried with a full tank of oil. ”

Emperor Hongzhi choked.

He glanced up at Zhu Houzhao, and it was a pity to lose it, so he continued to eat.
