Huo Weihua knows better than anyone what this purge means to Zhu Youzhen, to the imperial court, and even to himself.

But instead of the slightest hesitation, he felt his blood boiling because of it.

On the surface, this kind of purge is aimed at the clans in Guangdong and Fujian that do not cooperate with the imperial court and dare to secretly rebel, but in fact, once they are poked out, they will completely offend the clans of the whole world.

At that time, even if everyone in the world knows that it is Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, standing behind this incident.

But did they dare to go to Zhu Youzhen to ask for a reason? Definitely don't dare, they will only keep hating themselves as the executioner in their hearts, thinking that they have manipulated everything, and can even be said to have deceived the Holy Hearing.

It's just that what they won't know is that for Huo Weihua, it doesn't matter anymore, since he hit the capital, he has never wanted to go back.

This trip to Annan is, to put it bluntly, a one-way ticket.

Guangdong took the lead, followed by Fujian, and Xian Feng's plan to sink the army into the countryside was undoubtedly successful.

Almost in a short period of time, the Pingnan Army not only knocked out the two most difficult bones of the Wang family and the Yan family, but also cleaned up a lot of clan forces in the township like a rabbit.

However, as mentioned in the earliest planning and deployment, the biggest obstacle encountered in the process of purging the clan forces was that the people were easily fooled and instigated to confront the peaceful southern army.

It's just that it had been planned and deployed in advance, and Huo Weihua, the clan forces who did not come to the Hongmen banquet, also decisively entrusted Dongchang to clean it up on his behalf.

Assassination is simply a compulsory course for Dongchang.

On the other hand, being able to minimize killings is not only to reduce the difficulty of the Pingnan Army's actions, but also to do good deeds on the side... No matter what the clan patriarchs who were assassinated thought of, Huo Weihua made a decision for them.

Maybe they weren't necessarily wrong, or maybe they just wanted to gain more benefits by gathering crowds to resist the imperial court.

But when all this happened came into direct conflict with the imperial power.

Then I can only say I'm sorry, and I will pay attention in the next life.

....

In the capital, Zhu Youzhen was standing in the conference hall of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, including Xu Guangqi, were on the side.

Behind him, a blackboard was erected early.

I saw Zhu Youzhen holding a piece of chalk prepared in advance in his right hand and an open book in his left hand.

"What I want to explain to you today is "The Making of Soil Fertilizer", you should understand what food means to Daming! It is extremely important for the livelihood of the people. ”

"On how to increase food production, I specially commissioned researchers from the Royal Academy of Sciences to conduct experiments..."

When it came to being able to increase the current grain production of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi sat at the front and listened most carefully, for fear of missing any detail.

Zhu Youzhen has a good side of being a teacher.

This is something that many officials in the DPRK and China know, after all, the figure of His Majesty will also appear in the capital from time to time on weekdays, including many universities near the capital.

Every time a class is held, the scene in the classroom can be described as overcrowded, but it is limited by the space constraints... The number of students who can often have the opportunity to listen to Zhu Youzhen's lectures is not too many so far.

More often than not, Zhu Youzhen would share his recently acquired knowledge with the ministers in a room in the palace as he did today.

Although no one knows where it came from...

"There is no doubt that food comes from agriculture... One of the most important factors in agricultural production is fertilizer. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen deliberately paused, turned to look at Xu Guangqi and said, "Aiqing, do you know what kind of fertilizer most people use now?" ”

Xu Guangqi didn't even think about it, such a question couldn't be simpler for him.

I just heard him say impatiently: "Back to Your Majesty.. Nowadays, people still use human and animal manure or plant ash as fertilizer. ”

After finishing speaking, I saw Zhu Youzhen nodding with satisfaction.

Winter has gradually arrived, the temperature in the capital has dropped a lot in a short period of time, and the ministers have changed into heavier official robes.

Inside, a small stove from later generations is burning under the influence of different wind speeds inside and outside the house.

The warm temperature made many ministers change their official robes at the moment, and there were little eunuchs on the side to help put them elsewhere.

As the emperor, Zhu Youzhen is also not thick.

"The existing fertilizers of the people often have all kinds of drawbacks. First of all, the first problem is that manure is quite a technical professional problem, once the folk wet fertilizer is not handled well. That is, all kinds of manure, not only can not help the crops to be harvested, but may also affect the production of food. ”

"Grass ash is used as fertilizer, although it can be obtained by burning straw, etc., but the fertility is often relatively low. Sometimes not only can they not help the people, but they will also be difficult to control because the fire is not well controlled."

Zhu Youzhen's words caused a group of officials to nod their heads, and it was not only officials from the Ministry of Agriculture who came here today.

In fact, there are still many future officials of the newly established Liaodong Agricultural Reclamation Group who listened to Zhu Youzhen's lectures here, and when they heard His Majesty's lectures, they also understood that the emperor in front of them really had real talent and real learning, and the problems he said could be said to be in one sentence, and he said the most critical issues.

"Now, I want to teach you Aiqing a few more effective ways to produce fertilizers. Not only is it convenient and fast, but it is almost not limited by raw materials, and most places in Daming can be produced independently.."

Before the words fell, Xu Guangqi said to Zhu Youzhen with a happy face: "Your Majesty really cares about the people all the time... He can't wait to find out what kind of ones they are."

Zhu Youzhen turned around and clenched the chalk.

On the blackboard behind the back, I first wrote down several sets of recipes, namely: soil ammonia fertilizer.. Fifty kilograms of fresh cow dung, fifty kilograms of soybean flour, and five kilograms of plaster powder are evenly mixed and blended out, sealed with an earthen kiln for three days, and then mixed with three times the weight of water after being used for three days.

As soon as he finished writing, all the ministers began to show surprise on their faces, the emperor was able to understand the people's agricultural affairs so well.

How can you not shock the ministers.

But what makes them feel even more incredible is yet to come.

I saw Zhu Youzhen write again: To make sulfur fertilizer from soil, it is necessary to use 50 kilograms of human urine, 5 kilograms of plaster, and 25 kilograms of water.

The same is according to the same proportion after homogeneous mixing, using the earth kiln to seal the fertilizer for ten days can be directly used for fertilization.
