If there is anything that has changed in the West Mountain, it is that the large-scale gentry and landlords will come in chariots, horses and sedan chairs.

The people depend on food, they have land, and what they want to grow in order to get the greatest benefits is what they are most concerned about.

Sweet potatoes are ready to be planted in various prefectures and counties in the coming year, and the Tuntian Thousand Households Office has also been waiting for it, and a large number of heart captains and wrestlers have begun to understand the characteristics of sweet potatoes and many planting skills under the guidance of the backbone.

But for the big households around Beijing, they don't have to wait for the states and governments to try to plant before promoting, and the buildings near the water have the first month, so they want to see how much the real yield of this sweet potato is, can this thing be eaten? Can I fill my stomach after eating? Can leaves cook?

The cautious magnates and gentry, always with a natural cunning, believed that seeing is believing.

Therefore, Xishan has been really lively for a while,

However, Fang Jifan's only impression of these old wealth and local tyrants is that they are picky, they obviously have land, and they are always waiting around when they come, but they are very stingy in the inns and tea shops.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, Fang Jifan thought of something, so he wrote a letter to his father who was thousands of miles away, and at the same time asked people to bring sweet potatoes.

At the same time, the Tuntian Thousand Households Institute will dispatch a group of cadres to take the lead in Guizhou, and the promotion of sweet potatoes will be the first to be implemented in Guizhou.

Fang Jifan regretted in his heart, if there was corn, cassava, chili peppers, rubber would be better, if these were first promoted in Guizhou County, they would definitely be first-class cash crops, especially chili peppers, Yunnan and Guizhou are very hot and humid, the so-called miasma, in fact, to a certain extent, it is also because of this environment, it is difficult for ordinary Han people to adapt, and chili peppers can promote blood circulation, these places are the most suitable for eating chili peppers.

In the past few days, Zhu Houzhao has been running more frequently to Xishan, and now he has begun to be blatant, naturally in the name of reading.

After all, Fang Jifan is now a Shaozhan matter, and it is more convenient to come and go, and the palace doesn't seem to ask much about this, Emperor Hongzhi still trusts Fang Jifan, but there are more guards when he comes, and Zhu Houzhao is still wearing a regular uniform, so he won't show it as much as possible.

Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Yang Tinghe became increasingly dissatisfied.

In the past, you could still open one eye and close one eye, you are the prince and you are the biggest, but after he secretly went to the palace to sue a few times, the prince did not see restraint, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, if it goes on like this, what kind of system will it become?

He couldn't help it anymore, so on this day, he hurried to the warm pavilion to see the first assistant scholar of the cabinet.

Liu Jian has been very busy recently, almost so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, he is different from Yang Ting and such a clear stream, he only buries his head in the sea of books, and has so much leisure.

In particular, the most important thing in the affairs of the DPRK and China is to go to the West, which involves the required manpower and material resources, the money and food required, and even the training personnel, and in the end, he needs to make the final decision.

After the briefing, Yang Tinghe entered the duty room, and Liu Jian also took advantage of this gap to continue to draft the ticket in his hand.

Yang Tinghe had no choice but to stand aside and wait for a while, but Liu Jian seemed to be unaware of it, and buried himself in the case, as if he had forgotten about the fact that Yang Tinghe had just been allowed to meet.

After waiting for a long time, Yang Tinghe finally couldn't help coughing.

Liu Jian raised his eyes, couldn't help laughing, gently put down his pen, and said, "Oh, Jiefu, you're here, sit down and talk." ”

Yang Tinghe refused to sit down, but said with a straight face: "The catastrophe is coming, does Liu Gong still have leisure?" ”

“……”

Regarding Yang Tinghe's anxiety, Liu Jian's reaction was not big.

It's really, Qingliu Hanlin routines, he understands it too well, he likes to go on the platform for everything, and the big things are related to the safety of the society, he ...... I'm used to it.

Liu Jian smiled and said: "The old man is not idle, the affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces are waiting for the old man to give them an explanation, why, what is going to be a big disaster?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now I don't want to study, I don't want to study anymore, I can't be seen anymore, Duke Liu, the prince is the prince, it is related to the well-being of the world, and it must not be ignored." Yang Tinghe glanced at Liu Jian and said in a deep voice: "The Zhan Mansion is no longer in existence, especially since His Majesty actually appointed a martial artist as the young Zhan Shi, this is ...... What kind of system it has become, it is unprecedented, it is really worrying......"

"The old man will pay attention to this." Liu Jian nodded.

Hearing this, in fact, he was also a little worried in his heart, he really couldn't go on for a long time, but he was very busy now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Xishan, with Fang Jifan here, he wouldn't make too much trouble, for Fang Jifan, Liu Jian still faintly appreciated it.

Liu Jian's reaction, Yang Tinghe was not satisfied, so he continued: "Xia Guan heard that Fang Jifan set up a academy in Xishan to teach new learning, I'm afraid that I will mistake the prince, isn't Liu Gong worried?" ”

New learning?

Liu Jian is solemn, for this new school, it seems that there are a lot of noises in the court, but there will always be some crazy students who claim to be the children of Cheng Zhu, and the court actually doesn't care very much.

After all, it is an eight-share scholar, as long as the eight-share test is still Cheng Zhu's Jingyi, then there will be no noise at all.

Looking at Liu Jian's face, Yang Tinghe continued: "This is a fallacy to confuse the public, if you misunderstand the prince because of this......

Liu Jian was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, the old man knows." ”

That's it? Yang Tinghe was unwilling, so he said: "Liu Gong......"

Liu Jian smiled slightly and interrupted: "Go ahead, the old man will pay attention." ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but shake his head, at this time, he was still young, far from being the Zai Fu who entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and even launched a big ceremony discussion, and could compete with the Son of Heaven, so he waved at Liu Jian, quite resentful: "If the prince is deceived by others, it is how many votes are planned, and the harm is irreparable." ”

With that, he took his leave.

Liu Jian didn't put up a pen to draft a ticket, and looked at the empty duty room, and seemed to fall into silence.

In fact, what Yang Tinghe said is not unreasonable.

But he didn't say it on the spot, because he couldn't express his position in front of Yang Tinghe, and this statement, when it came out, in front of the hundred officials, obviously became a signal that Liu Gong was disgusted with Fang Jifan, or Fang Jifan's bad intentions, and the prince went astray.

At that time, what kind of uproar will be caused by the entire court and China, and what a terrible impact it will cause, needless to say, first of all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, those exuberant imperial histories will drown out the entire cabinet with impeachment.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said, "Come on, go and invite Wu Shizhong." ”

This Wu Shizhong, is the third year of Hongzhi Erjia Jinshi, Jiangxi, after which he was awarded the Ministry of War, he just arrived at the Ministry of War, the two Beijing areas and Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang people famine, Hongzhi Emperor issued an edict to provide relief, and the relevant departments are waiting for investigation and verification. Wu Shizhong said that it was disadvantageous, so he listed the two things of building water conservancy and restoring the official warehouse, because his performance was clear and coherent, and was mostly adopted by the imperial court.

Liu Jian likes this young man very much, although his ranking in the imperial examination is not high, but at a young age, he can actually show the shortcomings of the imperial court in the process of helping the victims, which shows that he is not an empty talker.

So Liu Jian had the intention to promote him, and now, this Wu Shizhong is in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

After a few teas, Wu Shizhong hurriedly came and saluted Liu Jian: "Liu Gong ......"

He is a person who seems to make people feel loyal, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, loyalty is very popular, just like Ouyang Zhi, not only the emperor likes it, but Liu Jian also praises it.

Liu Jian said to Wu Shizhong very directly: "You have to go to Xishan." ”

When Wu Shizhong heard it, he understood, and said: "The matter of Xishan, the lower officials have also heard about it, and the lower officials understand. ”

Liu Jian smiled and said: "You can go in civilian clothes this time, and you can't say anything to anyone, you just listen, go and see, what is the result, report directly to the old man, and don't publicize it." ”

Wu Shizhong nodded respectfully and said, "Xia Guan understands. ”

So Liu Jian waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

Wu Shizhong saluted and hurriedly went.

Liu Jian still has some ups and downs in his heart, Yang Tinghe is actually right, the prince is indeed about the society, this is not a joke, check it in advance.

He bowed his head and prepared to draft a ticket, but after a while, he saw that the room was very quiet, he wanted to drink tea, and subconsciously picked up the tea, but found that the tea was cold, so he said: "Come, hot tea." ”

After screaming for a while, but there was no movement, I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and subconsciously raised my eyes.

But I don't know when, Emperor Hongzhi was standing beside him, with his hands behind his back, and he was looking down at him to prepare a ticket.

Liu Jian hurriedly wanted to get up and salute, but Emperor Hongzhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Qing family is hard, there is no need to be polite, I just come to see it casually." Is this proposed ticket a request from Shuntianfu to promote sweet potatoes immediately? ”

"Yes." Liu Jian thought for a while and said: "Shuntianfu means that it should be promoted as soon as possible, and the Tuntian Thousand Households Institute is too slow. However, the old minister believes that such a major event can not be Meng Lang, Tuntian Qianhu said that it makes sense, to promote, it needs to be slowly planned, first set up experimental fields in the state capitals, according to the soil quality and climate of various places, first observe the growth of sweet potatoes, and then slowly push it out, so that it can be foolproof. ”

"Hmm." Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, I can't imagine that the promotion of this sweet potato coincides with the principle of governing the country." ”

Liu Jian also smiled and said: "This is not a coincidence, but if it involves thousands of people, you must always be cautious, otherwise a small mess will become a big thing, Your Majesty is here, but for the prince?" ”

“……”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian and said with a smile: "It's still Liu Qing's family." ”

Liu Jian shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not that the old minister knows His Majesty, but the old minister knows Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe also came to see the old minister, and seeing how much the old minister is lazy, the old minister is thinking, he must be going to sue the emperor." ”
