If it weren't for the lack of help, Zhu Youzhen would not want to see the current internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty again, knowing that although there were few opposition voices from the ministers above the court.

But every day the palace receives an endless stream of excerpts from officials from all over the Ming Dynasty, and some praise Zhu Youzhen, saying that his martial arts are comparable to the Holy Ancestor, and everything he does is for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also eye-catching, high-profile publicity of their local political achievements, and the use of the good policies of the imperial court to let the local people get rid of poverty and live a prosperous life.

There are also those who chase fame and fortune, do not hesitate to risk killing their heads, and the article is full of mockery, and it seems that everything the court has done is a regrettable move, and I can't wait to write in it that the court is afraid that someone will deceive the saint, and ask the emperor to transfer himself back to Beijing.

For all this.

Zhu Youzhen turned a blind eye, of course, this is only a part of the rarity, if it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's insistence on selecting a part of each batch of twists and turns without pre-screening, and directly submitting it to the front of the case.

I'm afraid I won't see that either.

However, some of these words did make Zhu Youzhen vigilant enough, for example, a large-scale upsurge of displaced people is breaking out in a certain place in Liaodong, which is different from the previous forced entry into the customs when he could not survive.

Nowadays, a lot of news is being propagated, and if you go to Beijing, you will definitely be able to live a good life.

But in fact, this good day is just to be able to eat a full stomach, but for many places in the current Ming Dynasty, it is already a great thing to be able to eat a full stomach.

Zhu Youzhen frowned a little, and suddenly remembered what Xu Guangqi had said to him before.

So he beckoned Wang Chengen to bring Xu Guangqi to Dongnuan Pavilion to meet him.

Not for a while.

Xu Guangqi entered the Dongnuan Pavilion with a dusty face, and Zhu Youzhen's originally somewhat depressed expression suddenly burst out loud after seeing Xu Guangqi.

"Xu Aiqing, what's going on, what a dusty face, this dress is everywhere, Wang Banban quickly instructed someone to bring a basin of water and a handkerchief to wipe his hands."

Xu Guangqi was also embarrassed when he saw this, but his expression was still a little excited: "Your Majesty, if you don't call Weichen again, Weichen will take the initiative to come to the emperor." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't have time to wait for Xu Guangqi to finish wiping, so he asked, "It seems that Xu Aiqing's Ministry of Agriculture has good news?" Come and talk to me, and make me happy. ”

"First, according to the existing agricultural information of my Ming Dynasty, the ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture worked day and night, and finally completely compiled the first agricultural encyclopedia of my Ming Chongzhen Dynasty a few days ago."

Zhu Youzhen couldn't sit still for a while, stood up and dragged Xu Guangqi's hand.

I didn't care about whether it was clean or not for a while, and said excitedly: "Agricultural encyclopedia? Has it been verified? What style is it codified? Has the Royal Academy of Sciences verified it? How so? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, this new agricultural encyclopedia has been reviewed by the ministers of the Ministry of Agriculture, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Conservancy, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites responsible for the preparation of the lunar calendar, and the Ministry of Households, the Criminal Department, the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Management.

As soon as Xu Guangqi answered, Zhu Youzhen said several times, "Okay! All right! I didn't see the wrong person. ”

Zhu Youzhen, who couldn't put it down, was deeply gratified, soldiers have the art of war, and farmers have agricultural roads, and the current Ming Dynasty lacks such books to guide national agricultural work.

This "Daming Agricultural Encyclopedia" contains farmland, seasons, water conservancy, crop habits, Daming agriculture-related policies, tax payment methods and tax exemption regulations.

Zhu Youzhen kept reading and constantly felt that the importance of the agricultural sector in Daming may be much higher than that of many traditional functional departments.

So he just listened to him and greeted Wang Chengen and said: "From now on, I will no longer be called the six departments and nine secretaries, but the seven departments and ten secretaries, of which the seventh department is the Ministry of Agriculture, which is the same level as the traditional six departments, and this tenth secretary!" It's Xu Guangqi! And Xu Aiqing has made a contribution to compiling this book, giving him a bachelor's degree, joining the cabinet, and relevant personnel will be rewarded! . ”

"Wechen... Thank you to the Emperor. ”

"And from now on, the Ministry of Agriculture of Daming will be allowed to set up subordinate departments in Daming nationwide to agricultural guidance, agricultural extension and other responsibilities, requiring coverage of all states and counties in the country within this year, and for matters related to sudden impact on agricultural planting and other work, can be dealt with first and then played."

In Zhu Youzhen's view, Xu Guangqi's credit is not as simple as compiling a "Daming Agricultural Encyclopedia", but more importantly, he can spontaneously study such matters.

Huaxia Library is not omnipotent, Zhu Youzhen felt more and more that the flop rules of Huaxia Library seem to contain the evaluation and judgment of the current development degree of the Ming Dynasty.

With the gradual acceleration of development, more and more books and points can be obtained.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking the initiative to compile the book "Daming Agricultural Encyclopedia", which has been recognized by the system and included in the Huaxia Library, and all the heavens and all worlds can be used on the flop! 】

【Ding! Bonus points of 1000 points, issued! 】

Regardless of the joy brought by the system, Zhu Youzhen also wanted to hear the second piece of good news brought by Xu Guangqi.

"Then what's the good thing, tell me about it!"

At this time, Xu Guangqi stood up from the ground, stabilized slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, why worry, this basin has already been delivered, so please ask Your Majesty Xu Chen to freshen up first." ”

"Good, good! Wash first, wash first! Xu Aiqing has worked hard! ”

Xu Guangqi turned to the side room next to the Dongnuan Pavilion to freshen up, while Zhu Youzhen happily looked at the "Daming Agricultural Encyclopedia" in his hand.

After a while, Xu Guangqi walked out of the side room.

He bowed down to Zhu Youzhen and continued: "The second is that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry have studied the existing agricultural planting methods, and Weichen believes that agricultural development can never ignore the most basic things, that is, water conservancy farmland and improved seeds. ”

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a while, and couldn't bear to interrupt Xu Guangqi, and motioned for him to continue.

"I have been suffering from no good seeds for a long time, and if the same crops are not optimized for a long time, then after a long time, they will naturally have more advantages in yield, pests and diseases than the crops planted by the original good seeds."

"The next step for the Ministry of Agriculture is to carry out a nationwide pilot project on the cultivation of improved varieties, but this may take many years of effort, maybe five years, maybe ten years. Or for a longer time, it will also require the support of the imperial court. ”

"Yes! Must support. "The hybrid rice of later generations has fed hundreds of millions of people all over the world, and the importance of breeding is still very clear to Zhu Youzhen.
