Old lady Song, Cao Wenyao, Xing'an Bogongzi and others listened to the 'click' and 'click' sounds made when the steam plant was running.

I feel that this is the most beautiful sound in the world, and it is much more beautiful than the famous characters of the Liyuan Opera Troupe.

From time to time, there are also voices of spinning women shouting "moving yarn", "dropping", "wiring" and so on, which is more and more wonderful.

A group of people went back when they saw that it was dark, lying on the bed and never falling asleep, with only one thought in their minds, to build a steam factory as soon as possible.

Zhu Shun looked at the steam era he had created with his own hands, and couldn't sleep even more, so he went to his father for a drink, and fell drunk on the table with a smirk.

The father called Zhu Zhongyi, and the two of them carefully carried the child to the bed, but there was no way, the tall Zhu Shun was too heavy, and he really couldn't move him alone.

Before dawn, when Zhu Shun was still asleep, Xu Guangqi had already changed into his official uniform and went to participate in the morning dynasty in an official sedan chair.

Xu Guangqi got off the official sedan chair, raised his eyelids and glanced at the top of the yellow glazed tile heavy eaves hall in the Forbidden City, and walked in.

There are still few officials who talk to him along the way, although he is already a scholar and a very popular minister.

Walking into the Huangji Palace, crossing the golden dragon pillar, Xu Guangqi stood still under the octagonal mixed gold caisson.

In front of him, there are sundials, Jialiang, and a pair of Ding furnaces.

There are very few officials in the court who can directly see these things, and Xu Guangqi is one of them.

The hour was almost up, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair wearing a dragon robe, and the great eunuch Wang Chengen stood next to him.

Today's government affairs discussed by the court should not give Liaodong more food and salary, and how much more food and salary needs to be distributed.

There is no money and no grain in the treasury, and if you want to increase the food and salary, you can only increase taxes and loot from the people, of course Chongzhen is unwilling to increase it.

Where would the military leaders agree, constantly sending messengers to deliver news, the soldiers mutinied, the Jurchen Koubian, the sergeants had no will to fight, etc., anyway, no matter how serious it was, how to say, to try to cheat more food.

Chongzhen also changed from disagreeing to agree to the additional faction, but the additional faction has not been able to negotiate a charter.

Just when the court fell into a quarrel again, Sun Yuanhua walked out of the courtiers according to the meaning of his teacher: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a book to play." ”

Chongzhen looked at Sun Yuanhua expressionlessly.

After Sun Yuanhua said this, the court really became calm again, and the members of the Donglin Party who were arguing until their faces were red and red-eared, all shut up and did not speak, staring at Sun Yuanhua with their fists, ready to release their energy on him.

Sun Yuanhua knew that as long as he spoke, no matter what he said, the Donglin Party would oppose it, which was also what he and his mentor Xu Guangqi wanted to see.

After waiting for so long, he decided to propose the promotion of potatoes, and it was because he was planning something with his mentor and Zhu Shun.

It's time for the next step of expansion.

has the right to select Xiushi, but it can only be limited to Liangxiang County, this time with the help of the promotion of potatoes, the radiation scope of the Jingshi University Hall from a small Liangxiang County, to the entire Shuntian Mansion.

Sun Yuanhua waited until the Donglin Party focused on himself, and said: "It's not impossible to increase the distribution of food and salary, but the imperial court has no money and no food now, and it can't take out so much food and salary." ”

"But there is a way for Weichen to earn enough food for the court, and even no longer lack food."

Chongzhen came to his senses when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "Aiqing, please speak." ”

Sun Yuanhua took out something from the sleeve of his official uniform, put it in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, please look at this thing, this thing is called a potato, and it can reach a yield of twenty stones per mu." ”

The members of the Donglin Party originally thought that Zhu Shun had made something like a moth, but they didn't expect that it was actually this thing, potatoes had already been introduced to Daming, who didn't know that the yield of potatoes was high.

Not only potatoes, but also the yield of sweet potatoes is also high, and some potatoes are planted in the vegetable gardens of the Manchu Dynasty, which are very crispy and very good for stir-frying.

The Donglin Party has been made by Zhu Shun in these years a series of new machinery, and the rectification is miserable, and the members of the Donglin Party who are highly nervous are much more relaxed when they see that they are potatoes.

Chongzhen also thought that Zhu Shun had invented something to solve the problem of food and salary, and when he saw that Sun Yuanhua took out potatoes, the expectation in his heart immediately turned into disappointment.

There are also a lot of potatoes grown in the vegetable garden of the palace, but this thing has always been eaten as a vegetable, barely enough as supplementary food.

When the Liaodong border army received the food, if they saw a pile of potatoes, they were not allowed to rebel on the spot.

Chongzhen, who used to wish the Donglin Party to shut up, now hopes that someone can come out to refute Sun Yuanhua and make him give up this unrealistic idea.

Liu Hanru in Tuntian Langzhong waited for a while, felt that the time was almost up, stepped on the black gold brick and walked out, and said sarcastically: "Sun Langzhong knows how to write the eight words 'the five bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not known'?" ”

"Potatoes are edible, and the yield is extremely high, up to twenty stones, which is twenty times that of ordinary staple foods."

"But this thing can be stir-fried, and it can also be used as supplementary food, if it is used as a staple food."

"Heh, the soldiers of Liaodong are estimated to rush to Sun Langzhong's house from Liaodong, take off Sun Langzhong's head, and hang it on the city gate tower to vent their anger."

Gu Shilang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, has recently been thinking that he has not become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, after all, he is the left waiter of Zhengsanpin, or the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and he is only one step away from the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Unexpectedly, he made a trip to bite the gold halfway, allowing Xu Guangqi to take off one of the six most prosperous official hats in the world.

With the prudence of a third-grade member like Gu Shilang, he generally will not make any remarks in the court, and if he says too much, he will lose.

If there is really something, it is often necessary to scrutinize it with the staff at home, and then find the henchmen to solemnly scrutinize it again to ensure that there are really no problems, and then give the emperor a book.

Hearing the promotion of potatoes, Gu Shilang couldn't help but stand up.

Gu Shilang was relatively obese, wearing a scarlet peacock complement official uniform, walked out, and reprimanded: "Sun Yuanhua, you are also a five-grade Langzhong, you really want to share your worries for the court in the future, so let's understand things clearly." ”

"Lest you do this kind of ridiculous and generous ugly thing again, don't hurry up and retreat."

When the officials saw Gu Shilang, who had always been cautious, they stood up and reprimanded Sun Yuanhua, and they all showed a sarcastic smile, laughing at Sun Yuanhua for wanting to be a waiter and wanting to go crazy.

Liu Hanru did not shy away from saying: "I really dare to say anything about it, even the auxiliary food and the staple food have not been clarified, and I dare to use this promotion merit as a stepping stone to climb to a squire." ”

"Sun Langzhong, you want to be a waiter, you want to go crazy."

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, his face changed instantly.
