Today's Yingtian Dynasty Hall, there are a few places, which are obviously different from the side. There are a few yamen, which are different from the yamen of other ministries and departments.

Such as the tax office yamen in front of the Wuying Palace, such as the various workshops managed by Zhang Ergong.

And Shanglin Yuanjian, which was originally the most ordinary yamen among the various departments and departments of Yingtian, has now become extraordinarily different.

According to the calculations of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Tax Bureau, in just a few years, the grain varieties brought back by the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor from Jiaozhi Road have been planted all over the Central Plains. The sweet potatoes grown in the sandy soil next to Lake Biwa have now spread to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan, and Shandong provinces in addition to Zhili.

Shanglin Yuanjian, an inconspicuous yamen at the beginning, can be said to have relied on this power to increase the yield of the most suitable land for cultivation in the entire Central Plains.

Land was the core of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Food is the bottom line of the people in the world.

Let the people eat enough, just by virtue of this merit, the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor will be able to make a difference.

So much so that when the imperial court began to implement the new policy this year, the pattern of the court changed, and the emperor founded Wenyuan Pavilion to deal with important military and political affairs in the world, and selected important ministers to serve in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Everyone is sure that the young master of the Ming Dynasty and the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, Yuan Sutai, will definitely have a place in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

But partially, this important minister with great merit did not enter the Wenyuan Pavilion.

No one would think that this was the emperor's suppression of Yuan Shaoshi.

The imperial court categorically would not suppress people like Yuan Sutai.

Then some people began to spread that this was Young Master Yuan's loyalty to the country, and he was only dedicated to feeding the entire Ming Dynasty's stomach.

As a result, the image of Yuan Sutai and Shanglin Yuanjian was once again raised in everyone's hearts.

People who have great merit to the country can raise some chickens, ducks and geese, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Even if these chickens, ducks and geese are kept in the imperial court yamen, it is not a problem.

Even the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, who has nothing to do on weekdays, passed by the front of the Shanglin Yuan Prison Yamen, and was chased by the big white goose, pecked by the rooster, and ridiculed by the fat duck, and did not dare to say a word, but willingly hoped that these chickens, ducks and geese could grow fatter and more beautiful.

Regardless of the flowers in Yingtiancheng, Shanglin Yuanjian is always quiet and peaceful.

A half-grown child dressed in gray linen clothes and somewhat lame, holding a dustpan and a broom in his hand, walked out of the yamen of Shanglin Yuan with a helpless expression on his face.

The child's mouth opened and closed from time to time, indicating that he was constantly cursing silently.

And the object is the chickens, ducks and geese that escaped outside the yamen.

The child carrying the dustpan walked out of the yamen, stood outside and looked around, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked back at the yamen: "It will take more time if it is slower."

With the shouts of the children, several children of the same age, also dressed in gray linen clothes, walked out of the yamen.

Some of these children carried dustpans and brooms, and some carried long bamboo poles.

It's just that every child has big or small problems.

The children, holding bamboo poles in their hands, began to rush into the distance, trying to get around the chickens, ducks and geese that had escaped from the yamen, so that they could all be driven back to their cages in the yamen.

The children didn't seem to be aware of the identities of Zhu Yunxi and others.

The lame child who came out with a dustpan first, scolded silently in his mouth, lowered his head, cleaned the feces on the ground, and came to Zhu Yunxi's side.

"Who are these kids?"

Zhu Yunxi looked puzzled, looked sideways at Tian Mai beside him, and was a little curious about the identity of these children who came out of the Shanglin Yuan Prison Yamen.

Tian Mai bowed his head slightly, and whispered, "They are all children in the nursing home. The young master went to the nursing home on this occasion, and when he saw these children, he had an idea, and felt that the imperial court had to consider a long-term plan for the future to help raise these children."

The curiosity on Zhu Yunxi's face became a little heavier: "What are the plans of the young master? He's going to ask the Upper Forest Prison to take these children?"

"The young master thought, wait for Lin Yuanjian to figure it out

A set of feasible breeding methods, let these children slowly take over, and when the time comes, they will share some of it. When the children are older, they will go out and find a place to raise poultry on their own, so that they can have a place to live."

Tian Mai said a little hesitantly, Shanglinyuan supervised the matter of the nursing home, and it was a bit entangled in authority.

After thinking about it, Tian Mai said again: "These children from the nursing home came to the forest garden to help out, and the daily wages in the yamen were also counted, not much, so they should have hired some people."

The financial budget of the imperial court has a budget and settlement every year, which Tian Mai can't hide, and the cabinet can check it at any time.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. The young master cares about the community, and he is not an idle person."

"Walk the boy away."

Just as Zhu Yunxi was sighing at Yuan Sutai's loyalty to the country, the lame child who swept the poultry manure on the ground had already arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes, frowning at the imperial grandson who had not yet identified himself, and reminded him with some dissatisfaction.

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, but he still moved closer to the cleaned place in front of the yamen according to the other party's wishes.

But he still said curiously, "But what is Lin Yuanjian doing here?"

The lame child frowned and turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, and said in a muffled voice, "Who can be happy with feces all over the ground? I'm just waiting for these chickens, ducks, and geese to grow fat and get slaughtered!"

"Then you can do it."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes rolled and he tentatively said with interest.

The lame child immediately looked at Zhu Yunxi with neurotic eyes, thinking that this was probably a noble son who didn't know the grains, so he had to say angrily: "If you don't do this, where will you eat?" Elder Yuan said that as long as we raise more chickens, ducks and geese, not only can we eat enough, but also grow stronger, and no one will be able to bully us at that time."

Tian Mai was a little helpless, and he couldn't cry or laugh at this lame child who didn't know the identity of his grandson.

If this kid knew the identity of the grandson, he didn't know if he could say these words.

Zhu Yunxi snorted, nodded and said, "The truth is this truth, then you have to follow your Yuan Lao, learn well, and raise the most chickens, ducks and geese in the Ming Dynasty when the time comes, and feed everyone's stomachs!"

The lame child snorted twice, "That's nature! We have all said that when the time comes, the Qinhuai River will be full of geese and ducks swimming in the water, and Zhongshan will be full of free-range chickens."

At this moment, even Zhu Yunxi couldn't cry or laugh.

He really didn't dare to think about what a lively scene it should be on the ten-mile Qinhuai River full of big fat ducks and white geese, and Zhongshan was full of free-roaming chickens.

The lame child complained, and pointed to the yamen with a broom: "Childe is coming to visit Yuan Lao, he is on the other side of the front lake, and Childe can find it by himself."

Zhu Yunxi arched his hand very politely: "Thank you."

The lame child's eyes flickered.

Finally, he nodded, "You're welcome."

……

"Moo Moo ......"

"Baa Baa ......"

"Bang ......"

"Calm down for the old man, and call again, don't blame the old man for being polite!"

On the shore of the lake in front of Zhongshan Mountain, outside a huge newly built enclosure, on a large open space surrounded by a fence, Yuan Sutai, who had some unknown objects stuck to his official robe, was blushing and a little angry and gave a final warning to a few cattle and sheep who were holding it.

A few people working in the Shanglin Yuan Prison were rushing from a distance with wooden fences, and a few others stopped between the cattle and sheep that were about to get up and down, trying to re-isolate the two groups.

It was not until the wooden fence was moved over and the cattle and sheep were separated that the scene calmed down.

Yuan Sutai frowned, quite puzzled: "It's clear that you can mix together in free-range, why do you have conflicts in captivity?"

An official of the Shanglin Yuan Prison held a booklet full of records in his hand, picked up a pen and recorded a few more paragraphs, and then said, "Maybe it's the ethnic group

It's not the same?"

"Remember." Yuan Sutai said in a deep voice: "Cattle and sheep and other large livestock should not be mixed to avoid ethnic conflicts. Large-scale concentrated breeding should be divided into enclosures and venues."

The official took up the pen and whispered, "I have written it down."

Yuan Sutai nodded, but his face was a little helpless: "If you can't mix it, it will inevitably increase the cost of building a pen and site. Small farmers and small households, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear."

The official who followed Yuan Sutai said softly: "It is impossible for small farmers and small households to raise too many cattle and sheep, at most a few cows or a dozen sheep, and the construction of the pen will naturally not cost much."

Yuan Sutai nodded, but felt that no matter whether he had the ability to raise cattle and sheep on a large scale, if he could reduce the cost, he would be able to save money and food, so he could do more side things.

It just can't solve this problem.

Yuan Sutai had no choice but to say, "Did the Tai Hospital give an explanation?"

Hearing that the young master was mentioning the Tai Hospital, everyone at the scene looked stunned.

Recently, especially when the weather in Yingtian City was the hottest a while ago, it was a long time for the Shanglin Yuan Prison to toss.

The herd of cattle and sheep kept in captivity on this side of the lake died several times a day.

In the end, Yuan Sutai personally ran to the Tai Hospital, and dragged the water to Shanglin Yuan Prison, who had been hiding all day and didn't know what to do, for three years, and after a long period of tossing, this could be regarded as stopping death.

"The opinion of the Tai Hospital is that cattle and sheep should not be mixed, and it is recommended that as long as the number of breeding is a little larger, it should be raised in separate groups." An official from the hospital explained to him.

Yuan Sutai frowned and said, "What is the reason?"

"The water courtyard envoy said that it was because of polyculture, which is easier to breed...... Breeding for germs."

Yuan Sutai's eyes showed doubt: "Germs? What is this?"

This is an emerging term, that is, the Shanglin Yuan supervisor officials who were present and docked with the Tai Hospital, they also knew nothing and didn't know the true meaning.

Outside the fence, there was some silence.

"Germs, something that is invisible to the naked eye but actually exists that can cause illness."

With a light chuckle, Zhu Yunxi walked over from the ridge and looked at the group of Shanglin Yuan prison officials in front of him who had changed from agronomists to zoologists.

Yuan Sutai frowned, and immediately turned around and bent over.

"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, His Royal Highness is coming, and the ministers have lost their welcome and lost their courtiers."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and walked to everyone with laughter: "The young master took the Shanglin Yuan supervisor to bow down to state affairs, so you don't have to care about this kind of false courtesy. Hearing the young master's words about germs, I don't know what the Shanglin Yuan Superintendent is dealing with today."

Yuan Sutai smiled, the country has such a prince, maybe it is the misfortune of some people, but it is definitely the luck of the vast majority of people.

He sighed quite a lot: "The ministers and others are recently exploring the large-scale breeding of cattle and sheep, but Wechen doesn't know what the germ is, and he only knows about it until His Highness explains it, and Wechen is ashamed."

"This is the way of medicine, and it is understandable that the young master does not know." Zhu Yunxi said very casually, leaned over to the fence of the paddock, and patted at the cattle and sheep that were separated in the paddock: "Germs, under the genus bacteria, are things that we can't see with the naked eye but exist, just like penicillin, only after cultivation can they appear in front of us."

Hearing such a detailed explanation, Yuan Sutai immediately became interested, just now trapped in cattle and sheep need to be raised in groups, and the imperial grandson knows this, so he is naturally unwilling to let go of asking for advice.

Yuan Sutai opened his mouth and asked, "The minister and the Tai Hospital are bothered, and the advice given by the envoy of the Water Yuan is that if the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor wants to raise a large number of cattle and sheep and other livestock, he must be separated. Is it because of the presence of this germ that we have to do this?"

With Yuan Sutai's inquiry, all the Shanglin Yuan prison officials present also showed their curiosity for knowledge, and they were even more amazed in their hearts, the imperial grandson was in a high position, and he was a noble stomach, but he could know all this.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Livestock can't be as fine and clean as people. The death caused by germs is relatively mild, and if it is not handled well, it may even cause a plague."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

When Zhu Yunxi just said that it would cause a plague, the Shanglin Yuan supervisor who was connected with the Tai Hospital nodded again and again, and his eyes widened: "The Tai Hospital also said the same, and the envoy of the Water Yuan also emphasized that I must separate the cattle and sheep before the scale of breeding is larger, and ensure that the enclosure is cleaned up in time to dispose of the dead cattle and sheep."

Yuan Sutai frowned: "The number of cattle and sheep in Shanglin Yuan is only a few hundred, and if it continues to be raised, the enclosures and paddocks will occupy more land. If you want to prevent the plague caused by germs, you need to keep it more carefully."

Zhu Yunxi's brows were soothed, and he looked at Yuan Sutai, who was trying to feed all the Ming people, and he hummed and said, "We must set all the rules, sort out all the steps, and start with the cattle and sheep to be raised in batches and step by step."

Large-scale livestock breeding, pushed forward at this time, has never appeared in the Central Plains.

Cultivation is the cause that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Central Plains.

But if you want to feed everyone, and make the future Akito physically not belong to others, protein needs to be guaranteed.

Yuan Sutai pondered for a long time.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes flickered a little, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was thinking about whether Daming was going to have a protein war.

Yuan Sutai said softly: "It has to be outside the Guan, and the pastures in Monan and Mobei are the most suitable for large-scale cattle and sheep raising......

This young master, who is now the highest official in the entire Ming Dynasty, is full of bewitchment and expectation in his eyes, and his eyes are full of countless unspoken admonitions.

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

He didn't expect that Yuan Sutai, an old man who was committed to feeding the Ming Dynasty, would also begin to agitate himself to conquer and subdue the grassland outside the Guanwai.
