This year's harvest is good, but this year's harvest is not a good one to ignore the coming year.

Emperor Hongzhi then spoke again and asked, "Xie Zhi, how to do spring ploughing in the coming year, do you have any ideas?" ”

These things are all Xie Zhiti's suggestions, even if Emperor Hongzhi does not adopt some of his ideas for spring ploughing in the coming year, he has to prepare his ideas on top of these things.

As for those things for spring ploughing next year, Xie Zhi has already been prepared.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, Xie Zhi said: "In the spring ploughing of the next year, the imperial court should find a way to get some fields back from the hands of those gentry, this year's autumn harvest, the imperial court's tax revenue is increased, but because some gentry are short-sighted, unwilling to give up their wealth, a large amount of grain is wasted, which is a great sin." ”

Referring to this problem, Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet of these scholars also have some distress, in the past, these grains were in the granaries of those gentry, and the court couldn't see them and couldn't see them, and now those grains are all abandoned in the ground, how can they not feel distressed.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "It is true, at least tens of thousands of stone grains have been abandoned in the ground due to untimely harvesting, and how many people can be fed by these grains." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was also a thrifty man, so he was not used to seeing these food wastes.

Liu Jian said on the side: "I originally thought that if I lost so much grain, the price of grain would be high, but I didn't expect that the price of grain would remain quite stable. ”

No matter where you are, as long as you recruit displaced people, you will first get a large area of land, on the one hand, send people to plant, and on the other hand, set up workshops.

As long as the displaced people are recruited in each locality, they must ensure that there is food for these displaced people.

Only by achieving self-sufficiency in food can the power of the workshop be developed to a greater extent.

After all, what comes out of those workshops can't fill your stomach.

Those workshops absorbed a large number of displaced people, and the problem of rations could be solved by themselves, so naturally the price of grain in the hands of those gentry had little to do with them.

Such a simple question, Emperor Hongzhi and the three scholars of the cabinet also figured it out themselves.

There is no need for Xie Zhi to explain, Xie Zhi will not be strong, so that he can save some saliva.

After a while, Xie Zhi opened his mouth to ask questions about spring ploughing.

"Your Majesty, spring ploughing can not delay the agricultural time, because a large number of tenant farmers are in those workshops in various places, and the court has to help solve this problem, the minister has thought of several ways, first like spring ploughing, the first issued a decree, each acre of grain two stones, grain is provided by the court."

Before Xie Zhi finished speaking, Xie Qian said: "The grain that can be guarded per mu is only three stones, if you collect two stones of grain per mu, I'm afraid there are many people who are unwilling, right?" ”

It's normal for Xie Qian to be so worried, a total of three stones of grain will be collected per mu, and there are many people who are unwilling to accept only one stone in the imperial court, if it rises directly to two stones, then there will be more people who are unwilling.

Xie Zhi replied with a smile: "The seedlings that Xu Jing brought back from the sea have been cultivated, and the yield of those things is at least five stones per mu, and those gentry only make money and do not lose." ”

At present, there are fields that can produce five stones per mu, but they are good and good fields, and ordinary fields really can't meet this standard.

This kind of fertile land may not be able to pick out a hundred acres in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Xie Zhi opened his mouth like this, and Emperor Hongzhi immediately exclaimed and asked, "Is it?" Five stones per mu? Is this true? ”

Xie Zhi is a sincere person, but if he can't do it, he will never open his mouth.

Xie Zhi assured again: "Of course, if the minister dares to pack the ticket, the yield of five stones per mu is only the lowest, which is also the minimum guarantee, if it is better, it can be increased tenfold." ”

"Ten times?" This time it was Xie Qian who exclaimed.

This is also some assurance that Xie Zhi has done some things during this time, otherwise, he will definitely have to be reprimanded by Xie Zhi first.

Xie Zhi nodded and replied, "It's ten times." ”

After a few people exclaimed, there was no need for this question to continue.

Soon, Li Dongyang hesitated and said: "Although there are ten times, I am afraid that there will be many people who will not agree, and it may not be easy to carry this matter forward." ”

Not easy, that's for sure.

Xie Zhi promised to harvest five stones of grain per acre of land, but who dared to believe that something that had never happened before.

Xie Zhi replied: "This is only an experimental nature, if those gentry do not agree, it is not important, first use the official field to plant, with a reference, and when the next year, there will naturally be someone willing to plant, the most subordinate, is still to one stone of grain per mu, including spring ploughing, hoeing, and even autumn harvest, with the comparison of one stone per mu of last year, basically someone will agree, plus, some people can set fire directly in the clouds for their own selfishness, which is definitely a big deterrent to those gentry." ”

Xie Zhirao for so long a day, it turned out that those gentry had not been allowed to plant for two stones per mu from beginning to end.

After a pause, Xie Zhi said again: "What's more, the seedlings that Xu Jing brought back are limited, and if they are planted in a large area, they are not enough. ”

How many seedlings can be cultivated in five greenhouses, and how can they accommodate so many people to plant.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and asked, "So you have such a mind?" ”

Xie Zhi didn't explain, and said: "Of course, during this period, some of the food and lodging of those peasants are responsible for the hired gentry, so to speak, they are just hired with the imperial court, and the imperial court should set up such a new yamen to supervise the specific matters of various places in an all-round way, so as to avoid the gentry not admitting their accounts, and also to avoid those farmers from cheating and playing tricks in planting crops. ”

This is real, but there is no water in the slightest.

After Xie Zhi's suggestion, Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment before he said: "Everyone, Xie Zhi's thoughts have also been said, you take the time to discuss it on your own, and then discuss this matter in detail after the Spring Festival." ”

After all, this is just Xie Zhi's opinion, and it is still necessary to do a detailed investigation to ensure that this matter is feasible.

After all, it is a little inappropriate to say such a big thing and implement it so simply.

"Okay, today is the Spring Festival, everyone should go back early!"

The Spring Festival was supposed to be a family reunion, not to mention Xie Zhi, but the scholars in the cabinet had already wanted to leave.

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to let it go, and several people were eager to do it, and at the same time they gave their hands and said: "Yes, the ministers will retire." ”

After coming out of the warm pavilion, Li Dongyang asked with a smile: "How are those scholars in your East Wolf Mountain prepared, this year is going to take the township exam, and the old man will be in charge of the main examination of the Beijing Division." ”

Li Dongyang's attainments in scripture are much stronger than Xie Qian and Liu Jian, and in the middle period, only Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng are known as supernatural.

The current Cheng Minzheng is just a humble teacher in Liangwolf Mountain, while Li Dongyang is now promoted all the way to the cabinet of ministers.

It shows that he can not only read, but also be an official.

It's easy to write the word official, but it's not so easy to really do, when you become an official, you know that the breeze on your sleeves is just talk, and you have to deal with the interests of all parties.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do, and if you want to mix like a fish in water in officialdom, you must be a sleek and smart person.

Regarding Li Dongyang's question, Xie Zhi was very indifferent, and replied: "I'm just worried that after the list is released, some people will say that Shibo is favoritism." ”

Xie Zhi's words made Li Dongyang a little puzzled, and he wondered: "What? ”

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and said with a smile: "If the people who release the list are all in my Two Wolf Mountain Academy, wouldn't outsiders say that Shibo is favoritism?" ”

Xie said this, Xie Qian pouted, and Liu Jian said: "Why are you so arrogant, dare to say this, aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" ”

Xie Zhi spread his hands and replied: "It turns out that a certain person is really talented, it looks like bragging, but in fact, what did he do and didn't succeed in the end?" ”

As it turned out, Xie Zhi was also telling the truth.

Anyway, the more the truth, the less people want to listen.

As soon as Xie said this, Xie Qian immediately blew his beard and glared, and almost slapped him and reprimanded: "Go home quickly." ”

Xie Zhi said aggrievedly: "Dad, my son is talented again, shouldn't my father be happy?" It's no wonder that the father is still jealous of his son. ”

When these words fell, Xie Qian's face obviously turned the color of pig liver.

Of course, Xie Zhi will definitely not stay and be beaten by Xie Qian, so he will run away.

Running away, Liu Jiancai said: "Gong Xie doesn't have to be angry, that kid in your family seems to be unrestrained, but in fact, he really has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth." ”

Although Xie Qian didn't say anything on the surface, he was also happy and agreed with in his heart.

Now like this, even Xie Qian has to admit that his son is really better than him.
