Chapter 191: The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook
In fact, this kind of spontaneous business behavior is not something that many local yamen officials want to do, after all, it is undoubtedly much more complicated than leaving it to others to do it, and they can not get any benefits from it.
But today's imperial court has forced them to choose this approach.
Daming has now completely pulled out the official assessment system, and state and county officials have to report to the local provincial government every year, and the provincial government officials have to go to Beijing to report on their work.
And whether it is to report on oneself or to use the method of folding and folding, it needs to be reviewed again and again by the imperial court.
After all, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to see some, the superficial articles were first-class, but in fact, when it came to the local area, the people were poor and couldn't even afford to wear pants.
...
Henan, where the Yellow River divides the whole of Henan into two parts, one north and one south, and the people along the banks have benefited from the abundant water brought by the Yellow River and have not suffered much from the drought.
And among the dense fields on both sides of the riverbank.
Like a green scene, sweet potatoes have reached the harvest season, and the people of Daming have planted a large number of this exotic crop under the guidance of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Among the ridges, there were people sitting on the ground.
With a satisfied smile on their faces, they were still chatting with each other.
"According to those old men, after the sweet potatoes in this field are dug up, they are cooked and eaten in their mouths! Sweeter than honey! ”
"Huh! I've heard about it too! Wait, I heard that after a while, you can go to the field to harvest! ”
"Yes, yes!"
Not far away, the village chief rode the only donkey in the village and hurried over leisurely.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, he blurted out: "Digging!" Oops! Slow down, this guy is not expensive, but he is also food! ”
The harvest season has arrived, and the people can't wait to see their harvest.
Shovel down the shovel in your hand, and in a short time you will harvest a bunch of sweet potato lumps, put these lumps on the field in unicode, and bring them back in the evening.
And even worse, digging in the fields and crying at the same time!
"When the sweet potatoes in this field are harvested, we must send some to the capital, so that the current emperor can also taste the sweet potatoes of our Henan!"
"Yes! Who's to say it isn't! This year's sweet potato harvest came in time, which is really a good thing, I heard that as long as we do it fast enough, we can gather the land and plant it again at the end of the month! You can harvest some before winter! ”
For these people, who have not harvested for several months, there is nothing more precious than food now, if it were not for the timely rescue of the imperial court.
This year in the village.
I don't know how many people will starve to death, but the people of all sizes in this village don't think about the court and the emperor's goodness.
After all, nothing is precious in the face of hunger.
The feeling of losing power and hovering on the line of death is something that almost everyone here has felt.
If it weren't for this year, the imperial court would have collected a lot of agricultural taxes.
All the food was returned, and some family conditions were really bad, and timely assistance was carried out.
Many people secretly set up immortal tablets for the emperor at home, and even the village has a special tablet, and many people will spontaneously burn pillar incense for Zhu Youzhen.
The sweet potato harvest is not just in Henan.
In Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong and other large areas of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the sweet potato era has entered overnight.
You know, this sweet potato is not only a large yield, the most important thing is that it is resistant to storage, and the common means of course include cellaring, but even if the cellaring is troublesome, you can also use sun-drying and other methods to store the sweet potatoes that cannot be eaten.
Capital.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile on his face and said, "Xu Aiqing, your Ministry of Agriculture has done a good job!" Tell me in detail about the yield of sweet potatoes in various places, and I can find out more..."
"Back to the emperor, this is just a rough survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the specific data will have to wait for the final results of the Royal Bureau of Statistics, but the minister can tell the emperor that the Ming Dynasty will never be controlled casually because of the food problem from today onwards!"
Xu Guangqi's expression was equally excited, although it was because of Zhu Youzhen's vigorous promotion of sweet potatoes and the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was specifically responsible for this matter.
..“ Emperor.. The people are miserable! You don't know, when the minister arrived in Zhili, to Shanxi, and even sent people to Shaanxi to explore, the war has been raging for many years, bringing only suffering to the people... Not to mention droughts and insect plagues..."
Zhu Youzhen nodded: "I know better.. I still have to rely on you to go down and see more people's affairs, I..."
"I'll go after a while.."
Before going to Nanjing, there is one more important thing waiting for Zhu Youzhen.
That is the vigorous promotion of medicine and medical skills.
This time he walked around from the ghost gate, Zhu Youzhen was deeply afraid of Daming's current medical methods, but he had to say that with just a thin book on Western medicine, he was able to save himself a few days later.
Imperial Physician Daming.
Something..
But that's not enough.
After all, in Zhu Youzhen's opinion, no matter how luxurious his Tai Hospital is, no matter how superb the doctors in Shuntianfu are.
But now the number of poor doctors in the Ming Dynasty is far less than the scale of the huge Ming Empire.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen silently called out the system.
【Flop!】 】
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook]
"Extract.."
Zhu Youzhen found some clues to the system: With the gradual end of the Houjin operation, the system mission has also reached the most critical period that is about to be completed.
And the system has begun to follow Zhu Youzhen's mind and turn out the books.
Often, when something is needed, something will appear...
And when it is aimless, the books that often appear are also marginal and useless things.
Therefore, after discovering this, Zhu Youzhen often creates a little trouble for himself before drawing books, or after maintaining an obsession in his heart for a period of time, he can always turn over something useful by flopping cards in a row.
In this regard, Zhu Youzhen called it.
The Traveler's Sixth Sense...
But then again, this "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" is a good thing, but many of the articles related to medicine still need to be deleted.
In this book, it can be said that there are many common diseases that often occur among the people...
