Chapter 1189 Sacrifice to the Taimiao and give amnesty to the world

"It's only 788 catties, not more than 1,000 ......catties at all," some officials began to pout after hearing the numbers.

"That's not right!" Many officials reacted immediately - this is the yield of three points of land, not one acre of land!

Three points of land produced 788 catties, so wouldn't one acre of land yield 2626.7 catties per mu? Oh my God, that's ten times the yield of ordinary wheat! Ten times as much!

So, the ministers rushed to the side of the household officials and asked in a loud voice:

"Really? You read that right? ”

Several household officials were surrounded by the bigwigs, and they were frightened. But after they looked at it carefully, they confirmed:

"That's right, it's 788 pounds!"

……

The crowd fell silent for a moment, but after a while, it exploded with a bang......

"Oh my God, the old man has never seen anything so crazy. Zixiu (a certain minister's word), you quickly pinch the old man and see if the old man is dreaming......"

After a while, there were cries of pain among the ministers......

"It seems to be true...... many people finally reacted.

At this time, some clever ministers had already knelt down directly in front of Zhengde, who was looking at the big scale, which startled Zhengde......

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! With this divine food, the world will be far from hunger, and it will not be far from Dazhi! ”

Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic - isn't it? With a yield of 2,000 catties per mu of divine food, isn't the world about to be ruled over? And this, even his father, Emperor Hongji, the man who was called Mingjun by the ministers, failed to do it.

Moreover, not only did Emperor Hongzhi fail to do it, but the previous founding emperor Hongwu Emperor and the eloquent Yongle Emperor did not do it...... Even, what Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor failed to do this......

"Perhaps, I will become a great emperor......" Zhengde looked at the air in front of him and laughed stupidly.

The ministers also understood the state of Zhengde at this time, and with the advent of this divine food, Emperor Zhengde would inevitably be famous through the ages. And they can also follow Zhengde to rub the heat and leave their names in history together......

Therefore, while Zhengde was in YY, the ministers suddenly elected Li Dongyang and other literary leaders to commemorate this historical moment. Even, they shouted for the inscription to record this historical moment. Most importantly, they wanted to engrave their names on stone tablets for future generations to admire......

Li Dongyang is also a human spirit, so he naturally knows how to write......

"In the fifth year of Zhengde, November 20, Jingshi Xiannongtan. The emperor led Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Liu Zhong, Liang Chu, and Yang Yiqing...... Wait for hundreds of ministers to gather on the Guangeng ......" Li Dongyang was very kind, and wrote the names of the hundreds of ministers present on the preface, so that all the ministers present would be honored. Then, there is a gorgeous prose, praising the peace of the world, the wisdom of the monarch, and the virtuous officials, which is a sign of prosperity......

The ministers were in high spirits and in high spirits, watching Li Dongyang write an article. But the more Marin looked at it, the more wrong it became......

"Elder Li Ge, why don't you have my name? I brought this sweet potato......" After speaking, Ma Lin looked at Li Dongyang with blank eyes.

Li Dongyang patted his head:

"Sorry, I almost forgot about the Equestrian ......"

Then, at the end of the article, Li Dongyang mentioned that this divine food was offered by Ma Lin, the overseas feudal lord...... And then, gone......

Ma Lin was a little dumbfounded, but Zhengde, who came to his senses at this time, patted Ma Lin on the shoulder and comforted:

"This is the feast of the Ming monarch and ministers, you are an outsider......"

That look, that meaning, clearly said - to mention you at the end, count as the smoke from your ancestral grave......

……

Then, the 788 catties of fresh sweet potatoes suddenly became a super treasure in the eyes of the Ming monarchs. Zhengde directly used a dragon robe to pocket a few catties of red clay with soil residues, held it in both hands, and brought it back to the Forbidden City. And Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and other ministers were not far behind, they held a few sweet potatoes, followed behind Zhengde with a reverent face, and returned to the Forbidden City with a solemn face......

And some low-level ministers couldn't grab sweet potatoes, so they had to hold the basket containing sweet potatoes before and follow the bigwigs back to the Forbidden City on foot.

Because the sweet potatoes were too hung and fried, Zhengde and the ministers actually gave up the car and walked back to the Forbidden City in order to show solemnity......

Then, the people of the Ming Dynasty were surprised to find that one day in the early winter of the fifth year of Zhengde, the emperor and his ministers were holding a pink thing and walking on the streets of the capital with reverent faces......

……

However, after arriving at Chengtianmen (Tiananmen), the gate of the imperial city, Zhengde and a cadre of ministers did not rush back to the palace, but turned east and rushed to the Taimiao near Chengtianmen......

It turned out that the reason why Zhengde and the ministers made it so formal was to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship and report the good news to the ancestors......

After entering the Taimiao, Zhengde excitedly put a bunch of sweet potatoes wrapped in the dragon robe in front of the Taimiao hall respectfully, and then knelt down reverently. The ministers did the same, and they put the sweet potatoes they were holding in front of the Taimiao Hall. Then, according to the level of their positions, everyone knelt down behind Zhengde......

Marin looked left and right, but he didn't see the guys leaving a place for themselves. In desperation, he had no choice but to kneel on the edge of the baskets at the edge of the queue......

The young Zhengde's face flushed with excitement, and he excitedly confided in a row of tablets in the Taimiao:

"Father, the ancestors, today, Zhu Houzhao, the descendant of the Emperor, has come to visit the ancestors with the greatest auspiciousness since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"

"This auspicious is called sweet potato, and it comes from the land of Tessie. This kind of auspicious rui is different from ordinary auspicious rui, which can only be seen but not used, let alone eaten. And today, this auspicious rui is not only edible, but also delicious. Not only is it delicious, but it's also incredibly high! ”

"I have a Ming grain, and the yield per mu is generally only two or three hundred catties. And this kind of auspicious sweet potato, the yield per mu can reach more than 2,600 catties, which is almost ten times the yield per mu of ordinary grain! ”

"Ten times as much! Ten times as much! Father, listed as an ancestor......"

"Houzhao knows that he is not a benevolent monarch. is young and playful, and for this reason, he almost let the slave Liu Jin mess up the government. Fortunately, there are all the upright and capable ministers left by your father and emperor in the court......"

……

Speaking of this, the ministers who knelt with him showed smug expressions......

……

"Erchen is playful, and he never thought that he could compare to a Ming monarch like his father. However, I didn't expect that just this year, Ma Lin, the lord of Taixi, actually traveled thousands of miles to send sweet potatoes, a god food with a high yield, to Daming. It can be seen that this Equestrian Governor Daming is very sincere......" As he spoke, Zhengde also glanced approvingly at Marin who was kneeling next to the basket. Marin immediately straightened his back in response......

"God bless the Ming! So that such a divine food for the Ming Dynasty court, although the good light is not talented, but I also hope that I will tomorrow under the people of Limin, no longer suffer from hunger, everyone can be fed and clothed, live in peace and happiness, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts of Emperor Taizu, and also live up to the hard work ......of the emperors and ancestors."

……

After talking, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde took his ministers to kowtow continuously, and Ma Lin followed suit......

……

After the end of the sacrifice in the Taimiao, Zhengde, who was in a good mood, announced that because of the divine food, the imperial court would grant amnesty to the world, and the prisoners who were charged with crimes other than rebellion, deception and murder would be pardoned and punished.

And the ministers did not object. Because, getting more than 2,000 catties of "divine food" per mu is enough to be qualified for the imperial court to amnesty the world to celebrate......
