Chapter 259: The Foundation of the Empire
Before the young army of the East Palace was formed, the prince was still willing to discuss with the courtiers, and even exchange interests, but now the young army is growing, and after the incident of the Tang family's relatives, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, cooperated with the gradual return of the military power to the imperial power, plus the center of the civilian group, are the people who were re-promoted by the prince and His Majesty.
Therefore, today's prince's strong decision is not criticized.
There must be an opinion in my heart.
Don't dare to say it.
After the sweet potato banquet, Hang Min and Hang Yu, father and son, unceremoniously asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for ten sweet potatoes, saying that they would take them back to their families to taste.
Zhu Jianji generously gave ten to everyone present.
In order to make sweet potato cultivation easier to promote, Zhu Jianji issued another order to send three sweet potatoes to the officials in Beijing and every official who came to Beijing to report on their work.
The last time I went to sea, the trading house went to Luzon Island in the South Seas and bought a whole ship back.
It doesn't matter if you consume a little.
The ministers retired.
Zhu Jianji left Lin Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Hang Min of the East Palace Military Research Institute, and originally planned to go back to the East Palace to discuss matters, but Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened, "I am an ornament." β
You also have to avoid me, rabbit cub, you and Lao Tzu are separated.
Zhu Jianji: "......"
That's fine.
Then take Lao Zhu with you, lest he sit back and enjoy his success without accomplishing anything.
Return to the East Warm Court.
Zhu Qiyu is sensible and sensible.
Leave the position of the imperial desk to his son - he is already a mature, sensible and qualified emperor.
Zhu Jianji sat down and said with a smile: "Give Lin Shangshu and Hang Shangshu seats." β
Between the government and the opposition, the Ministry of Agriculture is generally not optimistic at present, and feels that it is a dispensable department, so although Lin Cong is ranked in the ninth secretary of the court, his status is actually not as good as that of the other six departments.
But only Zhu Jianji knows what a pivotal position the Ministry of Agriculture of the feudal agricultural dynasty will have in the next agricultural reform.
There's a problem, though.
Lin Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, had earlier supported Baozong.
When Zhu Qiyu abolished Zhu Jianshen, Lin Cong also made it clear that he was against it, but later Baozong used a golden knife to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and Lin Cong did not support it, but revealed a lot of dissatisfaction from his daily words and deeds.
After all, the restoration of the Baozong is really a bit unkind.
Zhu Jianji knew that Lin Cong's thoughts were actually similar to Yu Qian.
I am deeply impressed.
Lin Cong is a person with right and wrong.
And Uncle Hang Min......
is already the backbone of the princelings, holding the Donggong Military Research Institute and controlling the Ministry of Industry, which is an indispensable force in his next various initiatives.
Both of them sat only half of their butts.
Zhu Jianji first said to Lin Cong: "The establishment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been put on the agenda before the lonely expedition, although it was not implemented in the end, did Lin Shangshu have any ideas?" β
Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu spread his hands, "Blame me?" β
Zhu Jianji rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Do you blame me?
The military power has been gradually taken back, and the center of the court is basically the newly promoted person of our father and son, you don't know that it is strong, and it is no wonder that the historical ending is so miserable.
Lao Zhu, you are only suitable for being an idle king.
Well, it's still very competent as a father.
Lin Cong said: "Weichen has long thought that according to His Royal Highness the Prince's previous concept, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will be an independent department like the ordnance supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture...... But what exactly is the Academy of Agricultural Sciences responsible for? β
Zhu Jianji didn't answer, "Is there a candidate?" β
Lin Cong was confident, "Although the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has not been established for a long time, Wechen has already selected official candidates, and experienced old farmers need these officials to go to the whole country to select." β
Zhu Jianji said: "Shu Liang, get a pen and paper for Lin Shangshu, Lin Shangshu, you write it down and hand it over to the officials later." The structure of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the formulation of a decree, from the five products, two deputy orders, six products, ambassadors and many soap officials, this institution was established in Gyeonggi, the general leadership of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences. β
Lin Cong recorded them one by one.
Zhu Jianji continued: "Because the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is in charge of agricultural matters, and my Ming Dynasty has a wide territory and different crops grown in various places, so it is necessary to set up branches across the country, and it is planned to set up a Jiangnan branch in Zhejiang, a Tianfu branch in Shuzhong, an intermediate court in Henan, a southern courtyard in Liangguang, and a temporary northern courtyard in Gyeonggi. Each branch has a director, eight products, and many stewards. In addition, the academies recruit old farmers, although they do not enter the stream, but they are promoted to technicians, experts, full and associate professors, and academicians, and technicians enjoy the salary of the ninth grade, experts enjoy the salary of the eighth grade, associate professors enjoy the salary of the sixth grade, and academicians enjoy the salary of the fourth grade. β
Lin Cong hurriedly recorded them one by one.
Zhu Jianji said: "This matter is handed over to the Ministry of Officials for implementation, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for preparing for the establishment of the General Institute and the Branch Hospital, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate 1,000 acres of fertile land for experimental land in each of the five places where the branch is located. β
Lin Cong immediately received the order.
Zhu Qiyu immediately said to Shu Liang: "Send people to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to deliver the decree, and the content will be done according to what the prince said." β
Shu Liang immediately received the order.
Zhu Jianji pondered for a while and said: "The first project after the establishment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is to study sweet potato planting, and this matter will be handed over to the Intermediate Court in Henan and the Tianfu Branch in Shuzhong at the same time. β
I'm ashamed to say it.
Although Zhu Jianji didn't eat a lot of sweet potatoes, he didn't know how to grow them.
But he has an impression.
In later generations, Sichuan and Henan seem to be growing sweet potatoes.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Lin Cong: "Lin Shangshu, although you are Jiuqing, but you must understand your own work, Lone has no special requirements for the Ministry of Agriculture, although Lin Shangshu has the right to participate in national affairs, but Lone still hopes that Lin Shangshu can devote himself to agricultural reform, and strive to let everyone in the Ming Dynasty have a full stomach within ten years, so that Lin Shangshu's achievements will go down in history." β
Let everyone in a feudal agricultural dynasty be fed......
This merit is huge.
It is also of great strategic importance to the country.
Solving the food crisis means a population skyrocketing, and a population skyrocketing means the prosperity of national strength.
It is the foundation of an empire.
Lin Cong knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he got up, "Wechen is willing to pioneer His Highness's Haoran intentions, and I also ask His Highness for permission, and Wechen himself has the right to serve as the order of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!" β
This is to go down to the grassroots level to do practical things.
Zhu Jianji was overjoyed, "Good! β
Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture, one of the nine Qings, personally grasped the affairs of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the people below would be more cooperative.
Lin Cong immediately retired.
He couldn't wait.
Because what Zhu Jianji said makes sense, if he presides over the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and really solves the food problem, this merit will not be said to be as famous in history as Yu Shaobao's efforts to save the building in general, but in the history of the Ming Dynasty or even thousands of years later, the name Lin Cong is a strong stroke.
This is the life ending that a reader dreams of.
After Lin Cong left, Zhu Jianji looked at Hang Min, "Hang Shangshu, there may be many things for us next, first of all, the Ministry of Engineering will establish an Academy of Engineering Sciences!" β
Industrial development must be promoted by the power of the state.
