Chapter 465: The Great Battle Potato Feast
Lin Junliang closed his eyes intoxicated, although he is a Qing official, he has also seen the world, and he has also eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas! But this potato is soaked in the aroma of beef, and the softness of the potato itself has become so, so addictive delicious! Well, absolutely delicious!
"Lord Wang, this is not the people's mouth, but the people's food and clothing!"
Hua Houwei laughed and pointed to the last plate: "These are French fries, like peanuts, which can be used as a snack."
Lin Junliang simply followed Hua Houwei's example, and stuffed two sticks into his mouth: "Well, oh, good thing! Great stuff! Oh, how much do potatoes yield per acre? Is it worth saying such a thing?"
Jia Changqing snorted lightly and raised his chin proudly: "The yield per mu is more than two thousand catties!" The key is not to pick the ground, as long as there is a little water, you can live. Even if the ground is fertile and the ground is poor, it will grow the same!"
Lin Junliang stood up, stared at Jia Changqing, and asked in a trembling voice, "Two thousand two thousand catties? Did I hear me right?"
Huahou Weiwei smiled: "Lao Lin, otherwise it would be called epoch-making? This potato is drought-resistant and cold-resistant, does not pick the ground, and there will be a big harvest with all your strength, and Lao Tzu can proudly announce that the rule of three generations will not be long in coming!"
Lin Junliang was in tears, and he knelt in front of Hua Houwei, but he had a very happy smile on his face. He raised his hands and laughed to the heavens, "How fortunate I am! The rule of three generations, the rule of three generations! Prince, Prince, Lin Junliang swears to follow the prince to the death and create the rule of three generations of my Ming Dynasty!"
Hua Houwei gently helped Lin Junliang up, and his eyes flashed with a strange light: "It's not that the cultivator has his land, but that the laborer does not starve to death, can support his parents, wife and children, and can live in this world with dignity!" Lin Junliang, this is difficult, but as long as the Ming Dynasty is united, I believe that it will not take twenty years, and the rule of three generations is just a joke! The lonely Ming is proudly at the top of the world, the people are rich and the rich are not benevolent, the country is strong and there are no forced soldiers, everyone is like a dragon, and the world is one!"
Lin Junliang's tears flowed wantonly, but he looked at Hua Houwei longingly: "If there is really a day when it is realized, there will be no regrets when Xia Guan dies!"
Hua Houwei pulled Lin Junliang to sit down: "Come on, hurry up and wipe it!" There's business to talk about!"
Lin Junliang awkwardly took the towel handed over by Jia Changqing and wiped it indiscriminately: "Lord Wang, what else can be bigger than potatoes?"
Hua Houwei couldn't help but shake his head: "Lao Lin, potatoes are good, do the people know? How to promote it? Don't let the potatoes become a tool for those boilers to make money? How to prevent potatoes from becoming a forbidden crop for the rich? Without a set of effective means, no matter how good things are, they can't be pushed! When the time comes, it will be the common people who will suffer!"
Lin Junliang admires Hua Houwei even more, some people just say it nicely, when it comes to specific things, they always put their own interests first, always ignore the people's personal pain, and in turn can't hear the people's moans, they must sing praises! But Huahou Wei is a combination of words and deeds, putting the interests of the people first everywhere, not to mention the clan, even among the emperors of 5,000 years, it is rare to have such a thing!
Lin Junliang looked at Hua Houwei: "Does the prince have a countermeasure?"
Hua Houwei pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, but Lone doesn't dare to be wise and powerful, so he is arbitrary. Changqing, go open the general yamen and call everyone to come to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
After finishing speaking, Hua Houwei picked up a piece of French fries and put it to his mouth. Lin Junliang hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What did the prince mean when he summoned the officials over?"
Hua Houwei seemed to be awakened, and subconsciously swept his gaze at Lin Junliang, and the cold hair behind Lin Junliang exploded, as if there was a colorful tiger in front of him!
"Ah, what's going on? Originally, I wanted you to write to the provinces in Jiangnan in the name of the Ministry of Officials, and clarify the jurisdiction of the General Yamen over Jiangnan. But now that there is one more potato, that official will have to think carefully about his achievements."
After Lin Junliang calmed down, he said with a smile, "It's easy to say, but what side of the capital?"
"You don't have to worry about that! If you can't protect a minister, how can you talk about the rule of three generations?"
Lin Junliang nodded: "Thank you for your favor! But why write to the provinces? Wouldn't it be simple and clear to open the general yamen directly? As for the provinces, hehe, the imperial court has a governor system, and more people are sent to be governors, who dares to fight the sound of horses, brocade clothes
Commander Wei makes Gu Hu not a vegetarian!"
Hua Houwei's eyes lit up: "Governor? Well, it's worth considering! Regardless of the other provinces, the four provinces of Nanzhili, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian must first elect governors!"
Lin Junliang is worthy of being a veteran of many years and is extremely familiar with officialdom. He thought for a while, and said with a smile: "In the past few years, the prince's control over Jiangnan is still not complete, and the lower official suggests that the prince make good use of the Guozijian!"
A word to wake up the dreamer! Huahou Wei has been unable to open the situation for a long time, that is, there is a lack of talent delivery base. The transfer of officials to officials is actually a means of last resort, and the officials who stand out in the big examination have not been recreated and recreated, but are actually still officials. If Guozijian is in hand and Hua Houwei's series of ideas are compiled into a book, then all the officials who come out of here will be branded with Hua Houwei, and he will not be struggling! Where does the power of the civil service come from? Isn't it a triennial expedition? Thousands of scholars all over the world want to enter the office, they have to take this single-plank bridge.
Hua Houwei looked at Lin Junliang appreciatively, and stretched out his thumb: "Lao Lin, amazing! Who's in charge now?"
This is a very high-level question, the Guozijian has long been not the Guozijian at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it has long been reduced to a place for the children of the nobles to gild. Therefore, it doesn't matter who the sacrificial wine is, because the sacrificial wine may never appear in the Guozijian, only the main person is important, and he is what Huahou Wei needs.
Lin Junliang shook his head: "The prince is limited, why ask who is in charge? In the name of Guozijian, anyway, Guozijian has long been rotten and unsightly, and it is just a matter of giving him some benefits, do you dare to make a mistake?"
That's right! The official department Shangshu said that who is the sacrificial wine, he can be the sacrificial wine, was it originally important? Hua Hou Wei laughed: "Okay! My senior brother Wang Shouren is the best candidate, and I only ask him if he wants talents, and I don't care about anything else!"
Lin Junliang pondered for a moment, and said tentatively, "It's better to arrange a deputy position."
Hua Houwei's eyes froze, and he looked at Lin Junliang with a smile. Lin Junliang saw sweat on his forehead, but he faced Hua Houwei's gaze, and his body was as tall as a pine. Hua Houwei stretched out his hand and patted Lin Junliang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The stubborn is not defeated, and the minister is not ruined, okay! Lao Lin, there are wind bones!"
Lin Junliang relaxed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm still afraid, Wang Ye Huwei shocked the subordinate into a cold sweat. However, it is better to prepare for a rainy day than to make amends."
"Needless to say, if the superior wants to maintain a balanced way, he must not let the courtiers lose balance, you are very good!" Hua Houwei was very satisfied with Lin Junliang's sincerity and was determined to repay the favor.
The two had an in-depth and friendly discussion on how Guozijian should play its role to the greatest extent, and Hua Houwei realized that he had played a wonderful chess game and brought in a general!
Not long after, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Wang Yangming, Wang Hong, Wang Zhi and other bigwigs came to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Liu Jian rubbed his old waist and joked with a smile: "Lord Wang, what is so important? The old man's waist is about to break!"
Hua Houwei pointed to the scraps on the table: "That's it! The pillar of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the four seas!"
Xie Qian picked up a piece of French fries and threw it in his mouth, feeling crispy and delicious, he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask, "What kind of crop is this?" Like white flour and like potatoes?"
Jia Changqing and Xie Qian are also familiar with each other, and they whispered flatteringly: "Master Xie, this is a potato!" A fetish that yields 2,000 catties per mu!"
No way! Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dropped the fries in his hand: "What? Changqing, you're not talking nonsense, are you? How much is the yield per mu?"
Liu Jian's hand holding the shredded potatoes stopped in the air, and the stunned expression on his face froze like an ice sculpture; Wang Hong's half-bitten potato cake fell into the bowl; The fries on Wang Yangming's mouth fell, but fortunately, he was extraordinary, and when the fries landed, he grabbed them and was full of joy; Wang Zhi's mouth was full of soft and glutinous mashed potatoes soaked in beef broth, and he choked at the moment!
Liu Jian didn't care about anything else, and immediately shouted loudly: "Your Highness, Lord Wang! Is it true?"
Hua Hou Wei laughed, but he didn't answer the question: "This is Lord Lin Junlianglin, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, who has joined us and is loyal!"
Xie Qian suddenly said: "It turns out that Lord Lin also learned about the magic of this potato, so he was willing to join the command of the prince and create a splendid future for the Ming Dynasty
! Amazing, artifact! Lord Lin, if you are really a sincere gentleman who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic and cares for the people, I admire someone!"
Wang Yangming looked at the fries in his hand and said regretfully: "Since it is a divine object, why not speed up the breeding and feast now, is it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?"
"Mr. Wang, the warehouse is almost overwhelmed, more than 20,000 catties! There is no shortage of that!" Jia Changqing and Wang Yangming are even more familiar, and they immediately opened up the mystery.
Oh! Everybody gets it. Liu Jian snorted and grabbed a bunch of shredded potatoes with chopsticks: "This thing is sour and crispy, so scared that the old man almost missed such a delicacy, Jia Changqing, what crime should you brat be?"
Xie Qian immediately stretched out his chopsticks and pulled Wang Zhi's chopsticks: "Wang Zhi, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young? The old man is older than you!"
Wang Zhi had no choice but to bully his family: "Old Wang, we are brothers in our own family, as brothers, as brothers, don't you humble your brothers?"
Wang Hong's angry beard pouted Lao Gao: "Don't be ashamed! You are from Guangxi, we are from Guangdong, 108,000 miles away! Ay! Leave me some!"
Lin Junliang was stunned and watched a group of bigwigs grab food, looked at it and laughed, shouted "I come here", and also joined the team of grabbing food.
I saw that the chopsticks on the table of the little eight immortals were like flying swords, and every time between the lightning and the stone fire, there was always a gluttonous mouth with sharp teeth devouring potatoes, and the anxious Hua Houwei waved his chopsticks and shouted, but he was always blocked out of the decisive circle!
