Ruthless enough, Zhu Youneng has now become the administrator of the emperor's small treasury.

In other words, Zhu Youneng will become the richest man in the capital in the future, and even the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and his wealth can rival that of the country.

In ancient times, it was not a good thing to be rich and rival the country, and there would be people who cared about your property and even caused you to kill yourself.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan was a rich tyrant, and he was assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Youneng is different, even if he is rich in the world, he is just a local tyrant on the surface, and he still has a big boss behind the scenes, that is, today.

The bosses behind the scenes are generally not suitable for the show, but they have the ability to reach the sky.

Who has the greatest ability in the Tang Dynasty, and is anyone bigger than the Son of Heaven?

Zhu Youneng didn't think about it, and didn't dare to think about his future. Knowing Li Ji and making this friend is the biggest shit luck in his life.

There was actually not much corn in one acre of land, and so many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty quickly completed it.

In fact, Li Ji didn't just let them experience life, he wanted to give these courtiers a shocking result.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how much corn has been harvested?"

Han E has been making records: "Your Majesty, it's a total of thirty-five and a half bags."

"Well, that's good." Li Ji nodded: "Weigh me, how many stones are there."

Datang already had a weighing rod, and soon someone moved it in, and then it began to bear weight.

A bag of corn weighed sixty or seventy pounds, and then the ministers were stunned.

With the weighing again and again, the ministers' breathing also became short.

More than thirty sacks of corn weighed for half an hour, and the results finally came out.

Han E couldn't stop his trembling hands, he took a pen and paper and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this acre of corn has been weighed, and it totals 19 stones."

In the late Tang Dynasty, one stone was about one hundred and six catties. Nineteen stones, that is, more than two thousand catties.

This result also surprised Li Ji, and the yield of corn is more than 1,000 catties per acre of land in modern times.

This is a full mu yield of 2,000 catties of corn, and the cobs and water in it will cost 1,200 or 300 catties even after drying.

In the era when there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, this output is enough to defy the sky.

In fact, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the land will not be compacted, which is more conducive to the growth of crops. The yield of the land depends on the fertility of the land.

The author once watched a program where someone experimented with growing corn without using chemical fertilizers, and as long as it was managed properly, the yield was about the same.

In fact, the ancients did the same, and the importance of cultivating land had long been discovered in ancient times. Even if you don't have chemical fertilizer, you can use farmhouse fertilizer.

Who is King Guang, Zhu Wen's own brother, his family's land is the most fertile in Luoyang City, so this corn will have such a high yield.

The ministers are completely stunned, madman, how can this thing have such a high yield.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to tell me?"

What else is there to say, the ministers are all excited. Especially Zhang Wenwei, the household servant, he knows the power of it: "Your Majesty, this thing is so productive, once it is popularized, there will be no famine in my Tang Dynasty."

"yes, yes, this thing is horrible. If the people plant this thing, we are afraid that our grain will be piled up in the capital! ”

"There are still a few acres of thin fields in the old minister's house, can Your Majesty give you some seeds?"

"The minister wants it too!"

"And the minister."

Li Ji smiled: "I have corn seeds, and I can give them to you." But there is one thing, you must set an example for the people of Luoyang City, and let the people follow suit to plant corn. Moreover, these seeds are distributed free of charge by the imperial court, and when they are harvested next year, the imperial court will collect taxes according to the law. ”

Whoever doesn't plant is a fool, and the ministers knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.

Li Ji thought to himself that you are excited, and when the melons are ripe, the yield will scare you even more.

The news that the Guangwangfu planted corn with an output of nearly 20 stone soon spread throughout the capital, and the people rushed to express their willingness to plant.

This corn product is ten times more than ordinary corn, ten times more! It is equivalent to planting one acre of land, which is equivalent to the yield of ten acres of hard work.

However, the crowd was enthusiastic, but Li Ji did not order the distribution of seeds. The imperial court only registered, and it could not be distributed for free until the beginning of spring next year.

One is that he is afraid that he will be eaten by the people after it is distributed now, and he is afraid that it will flow into the feudal town.

Although it is a matter of time before the world is popularized, Li Ji must first ensure that it is popularized in his own sphere of influence.

This time, the Ministry of Household allocated funds to build a super granary in Luoyang City. Just to the west of the palace, Ling Hu Yunlong led a team of Praetorian Guards to take care of it.

The granary is stocked with crops from Zhu Youneng's field, and the corn harvest is all dried and stored for the next year's grain.

Li Ji believes that next year's grain production in Luoyang City will be enough to feed 10 times the population. In the third year, he can start a war against the feudal town and wipe out the world!

After this series of bizarre events, there are fewer and fewer courtiers who dare to scold Li Ji. People finally discovered that the emperor was a monster. No, it's the true dragon emperor.

They gradually turned a blind eye to Li Ji's private exit from the palace, because the ministers all knew that the emperor had his reasons.

The homeless people have begun to pour in, but fortunately, there are not many people now, and the imperial court is fully capable of resettlement.

Jin Wuwei General Xiao Nuoyan said that he was leading his soldiers to build a house in Beicheng.

The imperial court recruited the people of Luoyang City to serve in the conscription, which was different from the conscription of previous dynasties, and this time the imperial court issued money.

In fact, this is no longer considered conscription, and the people who go there are in charge of food and shelter, as well as money. It's not much, but it's much better than bringing your own dry food to serve for free in the past.

If you go, you can save some food for your family, so there is such a strange thing in Luoyang City.

In the past, the people were forced to go to the service. Now the registration office is crowded with people's heads, and everyone who goes is elated, and everyone who can't go is depressed.

The northern city was expanding, and the imperial court contributed money and efforts to build houses. Don't ask for luxury, just stay in peace.

This is the house that Li Ji has placed for the displaced people, taking precautions. In case a large number of displaced people come in, these houses can be used as a place for them to live.

The people of the entire Luoyang City are busy, and the North City is in full swing.

Li Ji was annoyed that there was no train, and if there was a train, the tiles made in Huangling Mountain would be transported.

The house is easy to build, and a house made of mud and stones can be completed by six or seven people in a few days, and a house can be built in two days as soon as possible, but the roof is a problem.

Tiles are scarce and can only be replaced with thatch. Fortunately, in this era, the people lived in thatched huts, but more houses were built, and the thatched grass in the vicinity became a rarity.

For this reason, a lot of manpower and material resources had to be sent to find thatch elsewhere.

There is also the planning of the city's streets, which must be uniform. Especially in this resettlement center for displaced people in Beicheng, Li Ji instructed that the streets must be spacious.

Because of fire prevention, if this is not done well, a family can burn half of Luoyang City.

Tang already has a water dragon, which is a water sprinkler made of bamboo tubes, which is used to prevent fire. Rao is like this, Li Ji still strictly ordered that in addition to the well, a large water tank must be placed every 100 steps in the city.

Because Fan Yao got a message that someone wanted to set fire to Luoyang City.

Wang Jian of Xichuan sent some fine works to go deep into Luoyang City. They will wait for the influx of displaced people to set fire to the city and create chaos.

"Your Majesty, the minister has placed water tanks all over the capital. All the bad guys have been dispatched, and Jin Wuwei has also sent people to patrol all parts of the city, and once they find suspicious people, they will be arrested immediately. Fan Yao reported to Li Ji in the Ming'an Palace.

Li Ji nodded: "Be sure to catch them alive as much as possible, and interrogate them strictly!"

"Obey."

Yesterday, Zhang Wanxi waited in Jade Lane for most of the night, but Li Ji missed the appointment. He had no choice but to send Youwei to bring her a letter and promise to see her again tonight.

Yesterday, in order to deal with the homeless people, Li Ji didn't care about leaving the palace. There was nothing to do today, he was still a single emperor, so his restless heart began to beat.

It was past afternoon, and Li Ji went to the Datong Palace. Shut yourself inside, and serve by the two dog-legged men of Wei and Fuquan.

"Your Majesty, this is the silver powder you wanted." Youwei took some silver powder.

Silver is born with copper mines, and the copper mines in Huangling Mountain can extract large quantities of silver. It's just that the silver taels are not the mainstream currency of the Tang Dynasty.

Copper nitrate, sulfur, silver powder, evaporation tools, glass, wooden frames, and a charcoal furnace with liquid tin, Datong Hall has become a chemical laboratory.

Li Ji is indeed engaged in chemical experiments, he first extracts the nitric acid in copper nitrate, and then adds silver powder to evaporate and crystallize to make silver nitrate.

With the silver nitrate solution, ammonia and so on poured onto the glass side. Then the first glass mirror was made through spraying, baking and other processes.

In fact, Li Jiben didn't have such trouble, he only needed to use tin liquid and mercury to make a mirror. But mercury is toxic, and Li Ji didn't want to do that.

The glass mirror effect is not bad, and the scene can be clearly printed.

Li cut the mirror into a round shape with a diamond and then mounted the wooden frame. And just like that, a perfect mirror is ready.

With a ghostly expression on the part of Hefu Quanhuo, the two picked up the cut mirror scraps and looked at themselves in the mirror.

"Your Majesty, what kind of magical thing is this? How is it so clear. Youwei asked. The two of them were now surprised by anything Li Ji had done.

Fu Quan scoffed: "Stupid, you have something to do, this is obviously a mirror." But I really haven't seen such a clear mirror. Your Majesty, why don't you let the Xishan Liuli Factory build more? ”

Li Ji snorted: "I just remembered this mirror, and it will naturally be mass-produced in the future." Let's go, let's go out of the palace with me first. ”

Fuquan: "The slave knows, Your Majesty, you thought of Miss Wanxi, and then you wanted to make such a mirror." You're going to surprise Miss Wanxi first, right? ”

Li Ji was angry because he was told through his heart: "Youwei, you go out of the palace with me, and Fuquan stays in the palace and is not allowed to accompany you!"

Fuquan: "......"
