The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face was very unsightly.

He sat down and looked at Zhang Jingyi, who seemed completely unthinking at this time.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

As soon as Zhang Jing saw his slow appearance, he knew that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, with the temperament of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he would definitely not be so grinding.

I saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said: "I just came with the news, there is still a big drought in Guanzhong this year, not only that, but you also know about the floods in the Huai River area." But now, even Jiangnan, especially Jiangxi, has also had floods, and the water has flooded several counties, and there is a tendency to spread. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but get nervous.

"What's going on now?"

"The disaster has spread across the three provinces, and countless disasters have been affected." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "The most terrifying thing right now is ...... This grain ...... I'm afraid that there will be no harvest. ”

The grain of the imperial court mainly came from Jiangnan and Jiangxi, especially in the late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this can also be understood, with the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, the grain production in the north has begun to decrease on a large scale, and there is a famine almost every year, and there are displaced people everywhere...... It's impossible to count them, and it's almost impossible to expect to be taxed here.

Therefore, Jiangnan and Jiangxi are particularly important.

Of course, in other places, it is not that there is no food, such as Sichuan, such as Liangguang, but the problem is that land transportation is too far, and the loss is also very huge.

Moreover, the grain output in these two places cannot be compared with that of Jiangnan...... Unlike Jiangxi, Jiangnan has a dense water network and is connected to canals, so that grain can be transported by inland water.

Now that the provinces are affected, the food crisis will widen.

The reason why they have not spread to Jiangnan and Jiangxi is that on the one hand, there are river defenses, and there are important towns like Nanjing, which have hoarded a large number of elite soldiers, and most importantly, Jiangnan and Jiangxi have not yet had a food crisis, and the people's hearts are still stable.

But once the situation spreads, it is not easy to say.

Emperor Tianqi said: "The situation is imminent, and now there is food in the warehouse, which can alleviate some time, but this celestial phenomenon is abnormal, and when I was last year, even the political envoy of Guangdong Province was actually snowing, and this is the day to kill me." ”

It is no wonder that the Emperor of the Apocalypse said such a thing, showing that in the past ten years, the celestial phenomena have become worse and worse, and they are getting worse and worse year by year.

The cold wave that swept every year, in fact, not only became colder, but also triggered other climate changes, the Xiaoice period made the land outside the pass perennial snow, cold abnormal, a large number of livestock died, which made the desert and Liaodong ethnic groups, has been unable to maintain production, except for looting, there is no way to survive at all.

In the areas of Guanzhong and Hebei, there are years of severe drought, and in the south, any abnormal disasters can occur.

Several cabinet scholars were also worried at this time.

The scholars of the various ministries also smiled bitterly.

Because everyone knows that man cannot fight with the heavens.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse now has silver, but although silver can buy grain, once the world's grain production is reduced on a large scale, this grain can not be bought through silver.

This year's grain can also be stabilized by some previous grain stocks.

But what about next year? Who can ensure a recovery in food production next year?

At this time, Huang Liji said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, Jiangnan has begun to introduce mulberry hemp on a large scale, and this year's grain has suffered another disaster, and what the minister is worried about is that in the coming year, there will be no one willing to grow grain." ”

This is also true.

For the same land, cash crops are more profitable, and even if the disaster causes the yield to plummet, at least it will not be lost.

And once you grow grain, it is not good to say, once the harvest is not good, it is a loss.

The face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse became more and more ugly, but at this time, he remembered something, so he hurriedly looked at Zhang Jingyi and said, "What kind of wheat is Zhang Qing talking about...... Do you have an eyebrow now? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi, his eyes were blazing, with obvious expectations!

Zhang Jing said: "I am trying to plant ......"

"Your Majesty, what wheat?" Sun Chengzong couldn't help but ask.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhang Qing said that he has a kind of rye, which is cold and drought tolerant, and can be grown even in ice and snow like Liaodong. ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The ministers looked at each other.

If there is fantasy in this world, then this thing is indeed almost the same as fantasy, for people who have a certain understanding, this thing has only been seen in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "In Liaodong, once it snows heavily, the sky is cold and frozen, except for a very few tree species, most of the plants and crops are extinct!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't think so, it's really incredible. If there really is such a thing in this world...... That's worth it...... It's not an exaggeration to say it's a fantasy. ”

Huang Liji also echoed with a wry smile: "The minister also thinks that this may be a bad reason. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but blush, as if he had been slapped in the face, and he was speechless for a while.

Li Guo said eloquently: "Your Majesty...... At present, the most urgent task is to alleviate the disaster, try every means to persuade the peasants, and at the same time divert the displaced people and strictly prevent the displaced people. Rather than pinning their hopes on such non-existent things. The situation is now very critical and urgent. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said solemnly: "Zhuqing immediately put on a plan to alleviate the disaster, and the court will discuss it there, and there will be ...... From now on, it is forbidden to make wine and to keep too many livestock. ”

"There is also Nanjing, which ordered Wei Guogong to strictly guard against it, and never let the Liukou enter Nanzhili, nor let him cross the river. Once the south and north of the Yangtze River echo each other, the world will be chaotic! ”

Only then did the ministers feel a little at ease.

As soon as Zhang Jing was refuted, there was no squeak at this time.

Because on the one hand, whether this rye can be introduced into Liaodong or not, it is still a matter of two words, if the trial is not successful, then everything is in vain.

What's more, transplanting this thing may not be successful in a year, after all, although rye can be grown in the cold and frozen places of Northern Europe and Russia, although the climate there is similar to that of Liaodong, it does not mean that other conditions are also ripe!

Sometimes, a transplant takes years or even decades to raise seedlings because of slight differences in geology and climate.

On the other hand, it is indeed unrealistic to pin all hopes on rye at the moment, and it is more practical to relieve the disaster first.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse's orders, all the ministers said yes, so they retreated, and only Zhang Jingyi stayed.

Seeing that the others were gone, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi and said with a little emotion: "God is unkind, and I am guilty of it, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the world will be everywhere." ”

Zhang Jingyi comforted: "Your Majesty...... The most important thing to do is patience, and at the moment we can only try our best to resettle the displaced people, and the more this time, Your Majesty should cheer up. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, this is obvious, do I want to fight with the heavens? That machine gun is powerful, but can it kill God?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled reluctantly and looked at Zhang Jing: "How is it, how are you doing as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I heard that you went to Beizhen Fusi, these guys are arrogant, but they are still docile?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "It's very docile, especially after killing a few thousand households and hundreds of households. ”

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"

Zhang Jingyi said patiently: "It's not that the ministers are ruthless, but the more the country is in danger, the more you need to have thunderbolt means, Jin Yiwei has been slacking off over the years, and the original intention of the imperial court to establish it is to be loyal to the royal family, and to fight against the ministers, but ...... Over the years, the people in the guard, whether they are willing to serve their lives is two words, and there are people like Luo Yangxing, plus bullying the people has happened from time to time, this is a pro-army, representing the face of the royal family, they are bullying people, and the people will count this account on His Majesty's head, so ...... Ministers naturally can't be tolerated, when it's extraordinary, do extraordinary things, if you refuse to obey your orders, then kill a few sacrificial flags first. ”

"The minister even thought about it, and simply did this bad guy to the end, if anyone dares to make trouble, he will make this brocade guard from a thousand households to a hundred households, and all of them will be changed for blood."

These words are at the back, and if others hear them, they will surely carry them on their backs.

The so-called blood exchange means that since you want to create problems, then kill all of you, and leave no one behind!

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he didn't have any different meanings, and even felt empathy: "It's just like this, it's a shame that you are willing to be this bad person." That Tian Ergeng is not good, and the difference is here. ”

"I have never lacked people like Tian Ergeng in the Ming Dynasty, they hold the public weapon, but they regard this public weapon as a means for themselves to make friends with others and encircle their henchmen. Zhang Qing is my heart, and if I do this, I am afraid that I will offend people to death. ”

Zhang Jing said: "If it was in the past, the minister would also be willing to follow the example of Tian Er's cultivation, but ...... Now there are still internal and external troubles, and the minister really doesn't dare to use this public instrument as a favor and sell it well. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him appreciatively, nodded and said, "This is very good, if there are still disobedient people, kill them, and I will grant you the right to arbitrary." Also, those who were sentenced had their homes raided...... Exile their people. ”

"This ......" Zhang Jingyi was originally worried that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would blame him for being too ruthless, but he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to be even more ruthless than him, this is going to be a connection!

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi's slightly hesitant look, and said lightly: "You have killed everyone, and their family is small, won't they all hate you to the bone?" That's the hidden danger! Stay in the capital, if there are still people in high positions, what if they can't take you now, but what about you in a hundred years? Didn't you say it yourself? Cutting the grass means removing the roots, this is my consideration for you! ”
