Chapter 303: Good Luck
At this time, Fang Jifan glanced at Zhang Messenger.
Zhang Xincai reacted in a trance, remembered something, he was a little wooden, Fang Jifan reminded him, and then he knew what to do.
So Zhang Xin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Minister...... I don't dare to take credit, it's all the new uncle who tells the lowly to do something, and the lowly will do it, and the credit is not there, but there is some hard work. β
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan, and then at Zhang Xin.
Especially Zhang Xin's appearance of aging and decay, I couldn't help but feel emotional.
Potato...... It can be cultivated in Liaodong and the desert......
If so, this is a strange thing, if it is really as Fang Jifan said, if it is not discounted, how much grain can be produced in Liaodong, so much land?
With food, are you still worried that you won't be able to attract displaced people?
Resettlement of displaced people...... Recuperate...... Recruit Horses ......
As the king of a country, Emperor Hongzhi has thought of great things from a potato.
Immediately, his eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Jifan in shock, and he suddenly remembered that Fang Jifan seemed to have mentioned to him the solution to the desert problem completely.
There is no food in the world, there is no food in the world, there is no food in the world, and there is no food in the world!
It was a long, long time before Emperor Hongzhi recovered from this shock.
Then, he stared straight at Zhang Xin, looking at Zhang Xin's face, he couldn't believe that the dignified son of England had become like this.
All of a sudden, he understood.
Why...... First sweet potatoes, then potatoes.
Where is this just luck, where is it just ...... Fang Jifan is a wizard.
It is because, in this Ming Dynasty, although there are many places, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and many people are born rich and noble, and they grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths, and they don't know the suffering of the people. They are not only greedy, but also profligate, they are cruel to the people, they are harmful, they are lawless, they regard the laws of the court as nothing, they worship fine clothes and fine food, and they do not know shame.
But......
There will also be a group of people, they have the same background as the former, but they are like Fang Jifan, like Zhang Xin, condensed in Xishan, they only care about bowing their heads to do things, they are between the fields and ridges, ploughing and working, not luxurious, but what they have in their hearts is the world.
When he arrived at Xishan, along the way, Emperor Hongzhi saw many guards.
These guards are all from good backgrounds, but Emperor Hongzhi also saw that they may be better than Zhang Xin, but they are all dark and dirty.
Emperor Hongji took a deep breath.
He patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder in surprise and said, "Your luck is better than mine!" β
Suddenly, he realized that there is no shortage of loyal and loving people in this world, even if they come from high families, they still firmly believe that through themselves, they can change the world.
Today...... He actually found that the potatoes that can be grown in the desert and Liaodong as a staple food, even if it can produce three or five stones per mu, it is not important, but the important thing is that he sees hope here.
What a group of simple children.
Their ancestors have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and now here, they are still like their ancestors, relying on Xishan, to serve the country and serve the people.
Zhu Houzhao's brows furrowed, but he smiled at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Father, the son's luck is not very good. β
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and couldn't help but be full of doubts.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he was dying, and almost said that he had leaked his mouth, he had just stewed beef, and his father came, is this luck good?
Of course, he couldn't go on, so he broke up.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's strange appearance, and suddenly felt that Fang Cai's good mood was greatly reduced, this guy appeared in places like Xishan, it was simply dazzling, look at people, why can't you study hard.
Emperor Hongzhi didn't come today to rectify this guy, so he didn't plan to pay attention to this bear child anymore, he looked down in the ridge outside the greenhouse, the snow on the ridge melted, and the mud was exposed.
But after looking at Zhang Xin, who was covered in dirt and mud, Emperor Hongzhi actually sat directly on the ridge.
His sudden move made Liu Jian and the others can't help but say, "Your Majesty ......"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just mud." β
Zhu Houzhao stuck out his tongue, he really wanted to tell his father, in fact, ...... I often come here to fertilize, so ...... There was always something strange, of course, he didn't dare to say.
This is the first time that Emperor Hongzhi has sat in this kind of place, his expression is pleasant, beckoning, and the ministers said: "Sit down, sit down, don't they all say that who knows that Chinese food and grains are hard?" They are still not afraid to do what their children are afraid to do, but you elders just sit here, why don't you dare? β
Saying this, Liu Jian also stretched his face, and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true. With that, he sat down.
The emperor and Duke Liu both sat down, what else could everyone say, and the courtiers sat on the ground one after another.
"Houzhao, you come, sit beside me." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand at Zhu Houzhao, and his face showed a rare easy-going look towards this son.
Zhu Houzhao said with a miserable face: "Erchen is still standing, how dare Erchen sit in front of his father?" β
Emperor Hongzhi didn't care, but smiled at the other party Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan, then you sit." β
Fang Jifan said very uprightly: "Your Majesty, the minister is just a junior, even if Your Majesty is magnificent, but everyone here is the elder of the minister, if the minister sits, his heart is uneasy, His Majesty and the uncles are just sitting, and the minister is comfortable standing." β
Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head again: "Yes, I am becoming more and more polite." β
While everyone was not paying attention, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao glanced at each other, and the eyes of both sides were probably warning each other not to tell the truth.
After seeing the other party's sure eyes, the two of them suddenly relaxed.
At this time, Hongji said with a smile: "Coming to this West Mountain, I feel like I'm at home, I'm very comfortable, this is a good place." He looked at Liu Jian and the others: "If you have leisure, you should also come here for a walk, maybe you will have other feelings." Your sons and nephews can also come and see Zhang Xin and them...... Didn't they come? β
Liu Jian's heart was already mixed, and he couldn't help but think that Liu Jie, the son of the minister, had come a long time ago, and now he knew how to run here as if he was stunned.
Xie Qian smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, the courtier Xie Pi is studying and preparing for the sixteen-year examination. β
"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi remembered, Xie Qian's son Xie Pi, this is an amazing child, it is said that he participated in the township test the year before last and ranked first, which is Zhejiang Xie Yuan, Xie Qian is very proud of this son, almost everyone expected that the title of this kid's gold list is only a matter of time.
In fact, in history, Xie Pi, in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi Tanhualang, after the official to the Ministry of Zuo Shilang, the gift of the Ministry of Shangshu, in history, father and son Dingjia, for a while as a good story.
Of course Xie Qian is proud, his son, Niu Cha, is very similar to himself, he is excellent in everything, he is the champion, he is Xie Yuan, and he may be able to earn another champion for the Xie family in the future.
How could such a son come here to farm, and it was too late to study with peace of mind.
Ma Wensheng also smiled slightly: "The dog Ma Xuan has been lifted, and he is also reviewing his homework." β
Ma Wensheng's son, although not as good as Xie Qian's son, is still very promising.
Wang Ao is bearded, with a smile on his face, his nephew is already a second-class jinshi, of course, he must be low-key, Fang Jifan is here, if this guy is crying about his protΓ©gΓ© exam and being embarrassed, Wang Ao is afraid that his face will not be able to bear it.
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Jian: "Doesn't Liu Qing's family have a son, is his name Liu Jie?" β
Liu Jian complained in his heart, he was really afraid of something, other people's sons, the lowest are people, what about his own son, just a showman, he can't hold his head up to be a man, and recently he has been running happily to Xishan, this Xie Qian and others are not very clear? That is to say, their sons will have a great future in the future, what are they doing in this Xishan, they are scholars, of course, fame is important.
But when asked by the emperor, Liu Jian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, dog......"
"I know." Emperor Hongzhi looked very understanding of him: "Can you let Liu Qing's son come to Xishan, this Xishan is indeed very good, where is it, the man has no fame?" β
Liu Jian's old face flushed, and the corner of his eyes swept Xie Qian and the others, and said: "The minister's son is also preparing for the exam, and the most important thing is to read the sage book." β
Xie Qian and the others nodded one after another, and they all said that Liu Gong was really serious, which was right, Xishan is here...... It's a little weird, it is said that there is a new school here, very inappropriate, don't mistake people's children, Liu Gong's son Liu Jie, although he is unlucky, he has repeatedly missed, but there must be a father and a son, huh...... There will be a future.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to understand them, and they were all serious scholars, so he only nodded.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers went off.
A wrestler rushed to the ground and said, "Thousands of households, thousands of households...... The auspicious time has arrived...... It's ......."
"It's ......"
Everyone immediately perked up.
It's time to start harvesting the potatoes.
Zhang Xin's eyes lit up, although he had harvested a few acres before, but the densely planted acres of land had not moved, so he wanted to see the effect.
Fang Jifan also cheered up, but he looked at Emperor Hongzhi first.
EMPEROR HONGJI HIMSELF WAS ALSO ANXIOUS, HE STOOD UP AND PATTED THE MUD ON HIS BACK TUN WITH HIS HAND.
Zhu Houzhao kept staring at his father's hand, seeing that he patted it in the 'TUN Department', and his hands were also stained with 'mud', subconsciously, Zhu Houzhao shuddered, he decided to keep a secret, in this life, he will not say it if he is killed.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Take it, I want to see, how much can this thing produce!" β
"Yes!"
