Chapter 301: His Majesty Comes in Person
Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't have much interest in Dongchang's abilities.
It's not that he's harsh on Xiao Jing.
It's because at this moment, the stars have begun to appear in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi.
A new staple food?
In the warm pavilion, the ministers were already boiling, and they all whispered: "Same as rice and wheat?" β
"If so, it's really my luck."
Liu Jian even looked red, not to mention how excited and happy he was.
This Tuntian Thousand Households Institute, how long has it been established, and one after another results have emerged.
Think about it, if the people of the world have another staple food, and the conditions required for each staple food are different, for example, there are many paddy fields in the south, it is appropriate to grow rice, and there are many dry lands in the north, and most of them are mainly wheat, if a new staple food is added, maybe it can adapt to different environments, even if the yield per mu is not as good as rice and wheat, it can still benefit many people.
The imperial court has never been too much staple food.
Liu Jian's face became more and more eyebrows, and he had to agree that this Fang Jifan was really unusual.
He looked at Emperor Hongzhi and was about to say something, when suddenly, a question subconsciously popped up in his mind, so he hurriedly looked at Xiao Jing and said, "What is the yield per mu?" β
Such an important issue, I didn't think of it for the first time, it was simply a dereliction of duty to be the first assistant of the court.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes have already lit up, which is what he values the most, so he also stares at Xiao Jing deadly.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, but said with a wry smile: "This ...... I don't know yet. β
"What kind of field is this crop suitable for? Is it a dry field, or a paddy field? Is it hardy or drought-resistant? How much water is needed for irrigation? β
Xie Qian asked sharply.
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Jing was a little confused.
It was only at this time that he realized that he had come to say goodbye a little early, as if he had ...... It's as if I didn't find out anything.
In fact, he doesn't blame him, he entered the palace to serve people when he was a child, and he has never seen how crops grow from the ground in his life.
Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to take care of Xiao Jing's feelings at this time, so he couldn't help but say: "Why don't you know about the dignified East Investigation Factory?" β
Xiao Jing wanted to die, but he really couldn't answer at all, so he ...... I had no choice but to kowtow with red eyes and say, "The slave and maid are dead." β
But the monarchs and ministers in this warm pavilion don't care if he dies or not.
Emperor Hongzhi was like an ant in a hot pot, and at this time he remembered something, and suddenly asked again: "How many years does this potato ripen?" β
"........." Xiao Jing blushed, he felt that he must have owed Fang Jifan a lot of money in his last life.
Xiao Jing wanted to cry without tears, and after thinking about it, he didn't dare to lie, so he could only shake his head.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but shoot the case, so he stared at Xiao Jing again: "Then...... What is the shape of this object? β
ββ¦β¦β
Emperor Hongji suddenly stood up from the imperial chair in a rage, as if he was about to go crazy.
Staple food, the result is ...... I can't ask anything.
He couldn't help but be annoyed, and he wished that he would know the truth of everything in the next second.
But Emperor Hongzhi became more and more anxious: "This is how the East Factory does things? β
"Slave maid ......" Xiao Jing said with a bitter face: "Slave maid has always served Your Majesty, in fact, ...... I don't know about farming. β
"You don't know, and the whole Dongchang doesn't know either?" Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth, his face cold.
If you don't get annoyed, you can't do it.
A very hungry man smells the smell of meat, but does not know where the meat is?
Xiao Jingzhen really wanted to cry, and said pitifully: "Dongchang people are floating in things, slaves and maids are duty-bound, slaves and maids ...... It must be a good life. β
Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and didn't bother to continue the investigation.
However, Xie Qian was already impatient, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this matter is very high, or the minister will go and take a look in person." β
yes, staple food.
In the past, Fang Jifan said what sweet potatoes were, but everyone still didn't believe it.
But now, a new staple food has been released, and with the lessons of the past, everyone really believes it.
What is the situation of this staple food, I can't see it, and I really can't rest assured.
"The minister is the first assistant, or the minister should go." Liu Jian thought about it and took the initiative to ask.
In fact, he can't wait, instead of being in a hurry here, it is better to see it with his own eyes.
"Gong Liu and Gong Xie are old." That Shen Wen's eyes rolled, but he was moved.
If this staple food is true, then what is happening today is bound to be famous for eternity, such a good thing, whoever goes first, will definitely leave a name in history, such as 'Shen Wen, a bachelor of Hanlin Attendant, sent an edict to Xishan to view the new grain', as soon as he thought that he could leave a name, Shen Wen was excited!
Liu Gong, Xie Gong, you will definitely write a big book in the history books anyway, but the lower officials are different, and the future of the lower officials is uncertain, you have to find a place first, and leave a name first.
Wang Ao, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, were also moved, and they wanted to say something.
At this time, there was a humanitarian: "Grain is the foundation of the country, this is the unshirkable responsibility of the household department, and the minister is also the secretary of the household department, so he should go and see it." β
The one who spoke was naturally Li Dongyang, a member of the Cabinet University and a secretary of the Ministry of Households.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers, but he waved his hand very arrogantly, and said magnificently: "Go together!" Swing the wheel. β
All of a sudden, it finally stopped.
In fact, the ministers didn't like the emperor to wander around, just like Emperor Hongzhi secretly took the prince out for a night tour, and they had to hide it, because they were afraid of impeachment by the Sixth Branch of the Imperial History.
Since Qingliu will make trouble, under normal circumstances, old ministers like Liu Jian will often try their best to dissuade the emperor from leaving the palace. After all, although they are not Qingliu, they are also afraid that others will say that they have no backbone, let the emperor mess around, when the Chenghua Emperor was there, the cabinet did not dare to stop the emperor from messing around, as a result, these cabinet ministers, have been laughed at to the present, what paper paste three pavilion old, what clay sculpture six Shangshu, Shoufu Wan'an, it is said that it is to the Chenghua Emperor into the offer of some kind of indescribable medicine, so it is called 'wash DIAO Xianggong', and the cabinet scholar Liu Ji, nicknamed 'Liu Mian', cotton, is not afraid of bullets, it is nothing more than to say that he is thick-skinned.
This scholar's mouth is the most vicious, and it really ridicules the Chenghua cabinet to the point of being unspeakable.
Up to now, there are still many folk scholars who play the function of jokers, making up all kinds of jokes about the old papier-mΓ’chΓ© pavilion and clay sculpture scholars, and some aspects of incompetence, and sing them everywhere.
Finally, when they arrived in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the atmosphere was good, Liu Jian and others have always been respected, they accepted the lessons of Wan'an, Liu Ji and other ancestors, and paid great attention to their own image, so many times, they would show a bit of style and persuade the emperor not to do this, not to do that, although the Hongzhi Emperor also knew it, knew their difficulties, and occasionally let them give a little explanation to the readers, so he didn't make a sound.
Can be ...... today His Majesty said that he was going to leave the palace, but it was surprising, no one said anything.
Everyone is very consistent in pretending to be stupid, let's not take it as an example.
I saw Emperor Hongzhi say again: "Swing the car, Xiao Companion, you go and prepare ......"
"Your Majesty...... Xiao Jing remembered something, and then said: "I heard that there is Xishan, and when it is auspicious today, potatoes will be harvested." β
"Auspicious time?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Jing hurriedly reminded: "There are still nearly two hours. β
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt urgent, and waited for this palace to toss up and down, prepared countless feather forests, and Chengyu, I am afraid that it will be dark.
He wrinkled his brows, and finally made a decision, saying: "Go out of the palace in civilian clothes, and prepare more secret agents." β
"The slave obeys."
Liu Jian and the others remained silent, as if they hadn't heard anything.
It is almost conceivable that Hanlin, who will be moved by the wind tomorrow, will definitely be impeached, and there will be few people who impeach the emperor, and even more people will impeach Liu Jian, the first auxiliary scholar.
But...... Whatever.
Staple food.
Now everyone is missing a wing to fly to the West Mountain, who cares about this......
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xi shan.
Today, up and down the West Mountain, the backbone of thousands of households have gathered together.
In the canteen, I added vegetables today, unfortunately, in a village not far from the West Mountain, a young and strong ploughing cow was unfortunate and died, it walked very peacefully, its owner behaved very strongly, did not cry, and after getting a few taels of silver, he happily went to buy wine and drink.
As a cow, it was lucky, because on this day, the sky was just right, the sun was shining, the wind was very strong, and the fire was also burning very strongly, and people gathered around the fire, as if they were carrying out some kind of sacrificial activities, one by one, they flowed harazi, showing the appearance of the cow when it was grazing when it was alive.
The man took a big spoon and stirred the soup on the blazing stove, just like the old ox ploughing the ploughing work.
Zhu Houzhao drooled, looked straight at the carcass of the cow with a pair of eyes, and said with relief: "This is a good cow." β
"Yes." Fang Jifan agreed: "Look at this tendon meat, it must be very fragrant." β
Zhu Houzhao grinned, his eyes shining.
He wants to eat roast beef with potatoes.
Now it is still early from the auspicious time, so it is better to boil the ox first, and then say, when the auspicious time comes, after the harvest of potatoes, it is necessary to celebrate in Xishan, Xishan Thousand Households, there are more than 300 brothers on duty in Xishan, naturally to prepare a feast, drink a lot of wine, and eat meat.
Zhu Hou looked at the sky and couldn't help but say, "It seems that there is still an hour, but I can't wait." β
Fang Jifan comforted him and said, "Your Highness, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't worry." β
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "When I was in that Zhuangzi just now, I also saw a cow, and the cow seemed to look at it...... Yin Tang is also black, you say, tomorrow it will not be accidentally stoned to death by a boulder falling from the sky? β
"......" Fang Jifan stroked his forehead: "Your Highness, it is a crime to kill live cows!" β
Zhu Houzhao licked his lips and said very calmly: "What does the stone falling from the sky have to do with me?" β
"......" Fang Jifan can be regarded as convinced.
But...... You're the prince, you're awesome, what can you say?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Finally finished today's five watches, too tired, sleep first, get up at five o'clock tomorrow to code words, try to send the first update to everyone as soon as possible! Let's go to bed early and continue tomorrow!
