PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of ╭ァ ten years!

Since he pointed out this potato to Xu Guangqi, Hu Guang's meaning was naturally to ask the imperial court to promote these high-yield crops. In this way, there will be a lot fewer Han deaths.

He is not afraid that because there are no hungry people, the rule of the imperial court will be more stable, and there will be no room for the heavenly army.

If you really want to say it, thieves like Wang Jiayin before must have no room to survive. But it won't be called the Heavenly Army, because the purpose of calling the Heavenly Army is not something that the imperial court can give.

A very simple example is that all professions are equal, and the Ming Dynasty could not do this. Because when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he had already stipulated the three, six, nine and other occupations, which his descendants could not change.

Hu Guanglai saw that Xu Guangqi's goal had been achieved, so he said goodbye to him, saying that he was going to go out to travel to the Ming Dynasty and would not be in Beijing again in the short term.

Xu Guangqi naturally regretted it, and then told Hu Guang that he should return to Beijing as soon as possible and do something serious as soon as possible. They didn't know that this farewell had become an eternal farewell.

And things did not develop as Hu Guang thought, he appeared in Beijing, and the impact of butterfly wings was very small, and it did not affect the general trend of history.

Let's not talk about Yuan Chonghuan's affairs, it is covered by his first assistant and a number of high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and Emperor Chongzhen trusts it, even if Xu Guangqi goes to find Sun Chengzong later, it is useless.

Because Sun Chengzong has returned to his hometown, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he wanted Sun Chengzong to reinstate himself and re-emerge from the mountain. But at that time, the military department Shangshu Wang Zaijin and others didn't want him to come back, and in the end, Sun Chengzong just stayed in his hometown.

He can't even go back out of the mountain, let alone have so much energy to interfere in the government and let the court act according to his will without conclusive evidence? Obviously impossible!

Also, this potato promotion thing. There was no news at all. It wasn't until later that Hu Guang figured out the reason according to the development of the matter and the clues he mastered.

Not only potatoes, but also sweet potatoes, why at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not promote it. Instead, it was promoted in the Manchu era, which was attributed to the corrupt bureaucrats and powerful squires in the opposition at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In those days, most of the bureaucrats and powerful gentry were all big landowners. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the grain of the whole country was basically in their hands, and the grain merchants were just their dogs.

If they want to make money and don't want to sell their food at a low price, then there must be a general environment, and famine will cause food prices to rise. In this way, the profit is high.

Therefore, although several high-yield crops known in later generations had actually been introduced to the Eastern Empire at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were not popularized for this reason.

Once the high-yield crops are popularized, these big landlords who control the Ming Dynasty and control the local government will smash the grain into their own hands.

Although those high-yielding crops may not have been improved and are defective. But that's not the main reason. If the imperial court is interested, it will be completely promoted. Coupled with the construction of water conservancy in various places, you can not be afraid of any Xiaoice period.

But these two measures that can save themselves, the officials have not done it, but they are busy with their own party struggles, and the purpose of party struggles is for their own glory and wealth.

The last dynasty of the Han Chinese, so to speak. It's all self-inflicted. Although there were a few people who understood, they could not change the atmosphere of erosion and enjoyment at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which not only led to the demise of the dynasty, but also made the Han people experience the most tragic dark years.

The Manchus, on the other hand, were the ones who killed and killed. After stable rule, it has been established that the highest echelons of the Eastern Empire are Manchus. All the full people can sit back and enjoy the fruits without work. As for what the people want to plant, they don't care.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, as long as no one intervened, high-yield crops would naturally be spontaneously spread by ordinary people, and the emperor's will could just be conveyed, and a little push could achieve the goal. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, officials can play with the emperor in the palm of their hands, as long as they don't want to, the emperor doesn't fold.

History is really regrettable that high-yield crops have entered China, but for various reasons have been delayed and promoted, or even postponed, directly leading to the change of dynasties, countless people have lost their lives for this, and the barbaric and primitive system has regained its dominance, making history go backwards.

But on this plane, history has changed. As a later generation, Hu Guang even ventured to leave the Heavenly Army and go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to obtain these high-yield crops.

When Hu Guang left Xu's mansion, he also got a letter written by Xu Guangqi himself. The main content is for the safety of Hu Guang's journey, Xu Guangqi asked the local government to take care of him, and he is very grateful.

When he returned to the Ping'an Inn that day, Hu Guang began to prepare for returning to the base area. On Angui's side, he has almost packed his luggage and will come to the Ping'an Inn to meet him early tomorrow morning.

Hu Guang left two guards for An Gui, and sent two more guards to let them take different routes, return to the base as soon as possible, and convey orders to the eldest brother Hu Kuan. Send field troops to meet outside Zhangjiakou Pass. Lest there be any accidents on the grassland, and the trip to Beijing will be in vain.

As for being in the Guannai, because of the handwritten letter from Xu Guangqi, a high-ranking official from the second rank of the DPRK and the Central Committee, the local government should not be embarrassed, it will be relatively safe, and there should be no trouble.

Of course, this premise is that Hu Guang will play all the way, and there will be no conflict with local tyrants and powers, and there will be no conflict between fundamental interests and fundamental interests.

Early the next morning, the Xu Mansion sent a housekeeper to see him off. Tang Ruowang also came, and if he didn't watch Hu Guang go with his own eyes, he was still worried in his heart.

It's also funny, the last time they separated, he was very much looking forward to Hu Guang coming to Beijing with him. And this time, while smiling at each other, they never mentioned when they would return and meet.

An Gui also came, and his mother sat in the carriage, telling An Ping and An Yue in the car along the way. Or because there is a precedent for An Gui, he is afraid of this separation, and he will never see the children again, so he hugged his head and cried when he parted, which made An Gui quite embarrassed.

However, Hu Guang also understood, just waited quietly, and finally Hu Guang eight people, riding horses and escorting two carriages, left Jingshi and went to Zhangjiakou, an important border trade town.

On this way, Hu Guang was not in a hurry, one was afraid that the bumpy journey would affect the peace of the body that had fully recovered, and he was also afraid that there would be an accident with the crops in the carriage. Another reason is to wait for the eldest brother Hu Kuan to rush outside Zhangjiakou Pass.

In this way, the Jingshi traveled nearly 400 miles to Zhangjiakou, and Hu Guang and his party walked for about ten days before they could reach it. (To be continued.) )
