After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the small people were in difficulty, under the oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry, it was not easy to live.

Especially the scholars and doctors above the court, which of the families does not have 10,000 acres of fertile land.

Let them change their own lives, Zhu Youzhen does not have this confidence, but he can let them understand the hardships of the people and give the people more concessions, Zhu Youzhen is working hard.

The wheat bran fiber is very coarse and difficult to swallow, and these scholars and doctors from big families have eaten this thing for the first time, and they have suffered a lot of sins.

But there are exceptions to everything, and it takes a moment of hard work for one person to eat his own wheat bran.

In the two years when Han Guang was persecuted by the eunuchs, he suffered a lot of crimes, wheat bran had been eaten, and he naturally had a little more suffering for the people.

"Eaten?"

Sun Chengzong on the side asked.

"Well, in the first two years, there was a lot of hardship, and the farmer didn't eat less, and in the year of the famine, he could have a bowl of wheat bran to eat, when he was a rich family, even if the wind and rain were smooth, it was common for steamed buns to be mixed with wheat bran."

"It is only with these wheat bran grains relieved by the neighborhood that the old man has survived to this day, and by His Majesty's kindness, the old man has today."

Han Guang said, tears flowing.

With Han Guang's appearance, the ministers immediately had no complaints, and they all buried their heads in eating.

Half an hour later, the ministers finally finished eating, and Zhu Youzhen also appeared in the side hall at the right time.

"Do you know my intentions?"

At this time, how could these pampered ministers still hesitate at all, and all of them kowtowed and confessed their crimes.

"All of you are my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you should remember the hardships of the small people, if you still have no brains, I invite you to eat wheat bran every day."

Zhu Youjian saw that the educational effect had been achieved, and after some beating, he put the ministers back.

After sending off the ministers, Zhu Youzhen recruited Gao Qiqian.

The matter of finding food for the people of the north must be on the agenda, but before that, he must find someone.

Song Yingxing, 40 years old, a native of Fengxin County, Nanchang, Jiangxi, and a member of the Jiangxi Yimao Imperial Examination in the 43rd year of Wanli.

When Song Yingxing ranked third in the township test, his brother Song Yingsheng ranked sixth, and only two of his brothers were promoted in Fengxin's life, so it was called "Fengxin Second Song".

It is not easy to find a person named Song Yingxing among the people of Daming Yunyun, but it is not difficult to find a person named Song Yingxing who is known as "Fengxin Ersong".

And the palace examination was just held today, Zhu Youzhen didn't know if Song Yingxing came to participate in this examination, but in the palace examination list, Zhu Youzhen did not find his name.

Either they didn't come, or they didn't make the list. ’

Zhu Youzhen thought to himself secretly, and unconsciously blossomed in his heart.

It's best if Song Yingxing can't get into the Jinshi, if he gets the Jinshi, this matter is really difficult to do.

After all, let a new science and technology scholar plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, although people will not complain, but Zhu Youzhen also feels that it is not okay not to go.

Three days later, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen met the famous Song Yingxing in history.

For the efficiency of the East Factory, Zhu Youzhen is still very satisfied.

In fact, this matter is also a coincidence, this year is the year of Dabi, Song Yingxing's brothers naturally went to Beijing to catch the exam, but they had no choice but to pass the exam, and after staying in the capital for a few days, they had to pack their bags and embark on the road back to their hometown.

So, on the Tongzhou Canal Wharf, Gao Qiqian stopped Song Yingxing, who was about to board the boat and go south.

After immediately announcing the will to recruit Song Yingxing's face saint, the Song brothers were speechless in shock.

There was no way back to the family, and the two brothers had to follow Gao Qiqian back to the capital.

After spending a day and a night in anxiety, Song Yingxing met Zhu Youzhen, the son of tomorrow.

But unlike the imaginary process of face sainthood, Song Yingxing met Zhu Youzhen at the dining table.

"Chang Gung, come on, come on, try this stir-fried shredded potatoes, fried potato strips, baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, and by the way, sweet potato porridge."

Looking at this table full of dishes that he had never seen before, Song Yingxing looked confused, and prepared a manuscript on governing the country for a day and a night, and was instantly stillborn.

In the face of Zhu Youzhen's enthusiastic cloth dishes, Song Yingxing had to pretend to be happy, but in fact, he didn't taste the taste.

At the dinner table, Zhu Youzhen and Song Yingxing had a warm conversation about machinery, ceramics, textiles, gunpowder and other topics, especially focusing on the knowledge of sound transmission media.

Of course, this is not Zhu Youzhen's blind topic, he remembered that he said in the middle school physics textbook that Song Yingxing was the first to propose that sound is transmitted by gas.

Although the previous manuscript of governing the country was not used, Song Yingxing liked these things when he was a child, and when he saw the Son of Heaven discussing with him, he unreservedly dedicated his views on astronomy, physics, mathematics, and agriculture in the past 40 years.

Although I don't know what this young man means, it is right to leave a deep impression on him.

But Song Yingxing, who wanted to shock Zhu Youzhen, was surprised to find that no matter what aspect of knowledge he mentioned, this young man seemed to be able to pick it up, and not only did he pick it up, but between three or two sentences, he also explained some of his previous questions.

'Everyone in the world said that the son was a true dragon in the world today, and when he saw it today, it was so. ’

Song Yingxing thought to himself, so he put away his heart of showmanship, and sincerely discussed miscellaneous studies with Zhu Youzhen.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know Song Yingxing's mental journey, but he can completely crush historical celebrities with his middle school knowledge, and the pleasure brought by pretending to be coerced, Zhu Youzhen also needs to speak.

During a meal, the two of them ate directly to Shen Shi, during which Song Yingxing was fortunate to taste the taste of the second pot head in the later generations, and then he was vomited on the spot by Zhu Youzhen.

So, Song Yingxing, who had a big tongue, became the generalissimo's office light industry department in a daze, and he was eight products.

Of course, he is the only one in this light industry department, although he is a bapine grinder, but he also has the final say.

So, three days later, Song Yingxing, who was carrying a bag of potatoes and a bag of sweet potatoes, embarked on the road to Xishan, accompanied by several brocade guards.

And with it, there were 100,000 taels of snowflakes and silver escorted by Cao Huachun.

The victory in the Battle of Jin at the beginning of the year allowed Zhu Youzhen to successfully rescue 40,000 or 50,000 Han people from under the iron hooves of the Jurchens.

According to Zhu Youzhen's instructions, these Han people in Liaodong were all placed in Xishan and transformed into industrial workers in the Generalissimo's Mansion.

However, with the increase in population, the expenses of the Generalissimo's Mansion also increased day by day, and the monthly food expenses alone reached 100,000 taels.

Moreover, since last year, Zhu Youjian has lent more than 1.8 million taels to the household department, plus the expenses of the inner court and the generalissimo's mansion, the shares of the vassal king and the income from the seizure of the family, there is not much left.

Although Zhu Youzhen now has two industries, the soap factory and the Qilin Building, they are both in their infancy, and they only have 100,000 taels of silver per month, which cannot withstand the current expenses.

It's time to expand into new industries, but before that, Zhu Youzhen still has to go to Shanxi to get start-up capital.
