Chapter 373: Food!

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the first year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor Fu Ling, personally led the civil and military officials to send the coffin of the old man Kangxi out of Beijing, and ordered the emperor of Jiubeile to marry in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Daxing.

On the twentieth day of the first month of the first year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor's edicts were issued frequently: Prince Yunxiang Ling Yi was in charge of the Criminal Department, and Fan Shijie, director of the General Administration of Customs, was transferred to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and He Lin, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, took over the post of director of the General Administration of Customs; Ding Wei, the governor of Liangguang, Xu Chao, the secretary of the household department, was transferred to the governor of Liangguang, and Shi Shilun took the post of the secretary of the household department; Tu Cuizhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was exempted from old age, and Liu Shuangcheng, the squire of the Ministry of War, took over; The Admiral of the Nine Gates, Elut, was transferred to the deputy marshal of the Western Expeditionary Army, and Liang Cheng, the eldest brother of Ming Lan, took over the post of Admiral of the Nine Gates; Orming, the former commander of the Xishan Jianrui Battalion, misbehaved and died, and the deputy general Suo Longa took over the Xishan Jianrui Battalion; The former governor of Fengtai Daying, Cheng Wenyun, participated in the rebellion, although the person died, his crime was not enough to atone, and the nine clans were wiped out, and the post was taken over by the general Zhuo Fan.

On February 18 of the first year of Yuanzhuo, the emperor issued another edict, saying that the emperor's last order - to plot the ambition of the wolf son of Alabutan, with ill intentions, peeping into the Central Plains, must be eliminated, and specially announced to the world, ready to go west again, and ordered the governors of all provinces to prepare all grain and grass for military use, unified dispatch by the household department, and the assistance of the grain roads of the provinces, there must be no mistake. In order to show the importance of the Western Expedition, he specially ordered the Ten Beylers to go to Xi'an to sit in Xi'an and assist Bowen, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, in dispatching grain and grass to finance military supplies.

On March 18 of the first year of Yuanzhuo, the first big competition in Beijing during the Yuanzhuo years was held, the emperor ordered Ma Qi to be the main exam, and the new head of the Hanlin Academy, Or, became the deputy chief examiner, and more than 8,000 people came to refer to it from all over the world, which was the most in the past ten years.

Smooth, everything went too smoothly, as soon as the edict was written, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi immediately obediently rolled out of Jingshi, and they didn't even dare to let go of a fart; The old thirteen also tossed in the criminal department, and he was very busy, and a lot of unjust cases were found over the years, and a large group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials were found out. The military aircraft department is running smoothly, the court is also very stable, the government affairs are smooth, there is nothing to worry about Yinzuo too much, Yun Zhen and Yun Zhen are both sick and leave at home, less These two scourges are in the way, and they also fell into Yinzuo's mind, of course, in order to show the deep brotherhood, Yinzuo still sent the imperial doctor to visit him a few times.

Tired? Well, it seems that I'm a little tired, I get up from the sixth watch, and I sleep on the third watch, how can I not be tired, but if I want to be a competent emperor, I don't get tired? It's hard to get started, isn't it? Now that the government affairs are on the right track, the military power around the Beijing division is also firmly controlled in the palm of his hand, Yinzuo can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but the Xuan in his heart has not loosened, without him, just because things are too smooth, the whole old eight is so miserable, I didn't even see him fight back, this is too inconsistent with the personality of the old eight, Yun Yu is what kind of virtue Yinzuo still knows in his heart, but if the old eight jumps out to make trouble, Yinzuo is very welcome, just take this opportunity to completely turn the old eight into stink, But now that the eighth child has a turtle, he has not come out, but Yinzuo is also a little helpless, so he simply doesn't pay attention to it so much, as long as the criminal department is put in order, the eighth child won't have much drama to sing, right?

Today is not the day of the early dynasty, Yinzuo did not arrive at the study, in the heart of the palace to approve the folds, partial birth of today's folds are also few, not yet noon, Yinzuo is finished, it is estimated that their own brothers have not yet left school, with great interest to plan to go to the study to walk, by the way to assess the homework of these boys, it can be regarded as a distraction, but I didn't expect to see Zhang Tingyu hurriedly rushed out of the heart palace, full of sweat, looking at the face is a little wrong, Yinzuo hurriedly stood on his feet, raised his hand to signal Zhang Tingyu no need to be polite, asked lightly: "Hengchen, why do you look like this, what's wrong?" ”

"Initiating the Shengshang, Liu Siyuan, the governor of Liangjiang, sent an urgent document that the drought in Liangjiang and the poor harvest were a foregone conclusion; Tai Ning, the governor of the two lakes, sent an urgent document, the locust plague in the two lakes, a total of seven prefectures and 63 counties were affected, and Henan also sent an emergency document on the locust plague, in addition, several places originally for the military food was looted, the victims have the possibility of mutiny, the minister does not dare to slack off, please the Holy Lord. Zhang Tingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said.

The two rivers and the two lakes are the important places of grain production, and the total output accounts for more than 30 percent of the country's total output, and now it has suffered a disaster at the same time, and this year's poor harvest has become a foregone conclusion; if it is not solved, once the displaced people mutiny, it will not be a joke, and it is not difficult to solve the problem of opening a warehouse and releasing grain, but the problem is that after opening a warehouse and releasing grain, the military supply on the front line will become a big trouble, and it is simply impossible to ensure the food supply of the army while relieving the victims. In this way, the withdrawal of the army is inevitable. As soon as Yinzuo heard the news, his mind almost fainted with a "buzz", gritted his teeth, didn't say anything for a long time, and the fire in his heart went straight up, but this was a natural disaster, and Yinzuo couldn't do anything, and thought about it: "Spread my will: open the warehouse and release the grain!" Let Prince Cheng go on this errand; It was ordered that Li Ke, the general of the Western Expedition, lead his troops to withdraw to Xining, and the troops and horses of his troops returned to their original garrisons, leaving 50,000 troops in Xining to prevent the treacherous flow of Alabutan to the Central Plains. ”

"Yes, Your Honor." Zhang Tingyu glanced at Yinzuo, hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and went to the edict without mentioning it.

How could there be such a disgusting thing! Alas, naïve *** will be joking! Yinzuo's heart was full of anger, but before there was a place to vent, he stood at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall in a daze, full of disappointment - Yinzuo originally wanted to solve the problem of the Jungar Department before the naval battle with Britain and the Netherlands, but God was not beautiful, and he was stunned to let Yinzuo cry out in vain. The war is about logistics, and the army without grain and grass is just garbage, which Yinzuo naturally knows very well, he used grain and grass to strangle the old fourteen's ill-intentioned attempt, but God used grain and grass to strangle Yinzuo's hope for the westward expedition, which is really a report and a report, which makes Yinzuo cry and laugh.

Grain! Grain! No matter when it is the foundation of the stability of the imperial court, once there is a shortage of food, the riot is inevitable, almost every dynasty is finally destroyed because of the riot caused by the famine, the lesson of history is like this, and it is not important for Yinzuo not to pay attention to it, but the problem is that if you want to solve this matter, you can't shout a few slogans or a few holy decrees that can be done, what to do, Yinzuo really didn't think of a quasi-idea for a while.

In today's Qing Dynasty, the number of people counted by household department is more than 80 million, but in fact it may be more than that, and so many people have to eat, which is always a problem. Yes, the land area of the Qing Dynasty is very huge, and there is a lot of arable land, the problem is that the yield per mu is pitifully low at all, far less than the level of later generations, in addition to the cultivation technology, the main thing is the variety of food, and this is a genetic engineering thing, Yinzuo has no knowledge of this at all, how can he get something like hybrid rice, if it is possible, Yinzuo can't wait to jump back to the future to find Yuan Longping for a trick, to get a handful of seeds, of course, This can only be a dream.

Pressed the gourd and scooped, just took the position, and encountered such a thing, which really annoyed Yinzuo, and he had no intention of assessing his brothers' homework, pacing around at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, thinking about his thoughts, and vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed something important, but he couldn't think of it, and in desperation, he would simply go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, lying on the couch and sulking.

I remember that I used to read a book, where it seemed to mention the solution of food, but why didn't I have an impression? It's weird.,Our memory is unforgettable.,Banana, you're a radish.,When it's time to use it, you'll forget it.,It's really *** muddy.,Ah,That's right.,Damn.,I remembered it.,It's a sweet potato! Yinzuo got up from the bed, laughed, and said loudly: "Li Dequan, go, pass the decree: I want to leave the palace, ah, no need, just ask Qingsong to accompany me out of the palace." ”

In the study room of the Shizikou Hutong compound, Lin Xuanyi was playing Go with Sun Chengfu, and suddenly heard a commotion at the door, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw Yinzuo walking in in a green robe, hurriedly pushed the stab, and knelt on the ground and said: "The grass people have seen the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Okay, okay, how many times have I said it, I don't like so many false courtesies, and this is not a formal occasion, Mr. Lin doesn't have to be like this, just get up." Yinzuo smiled and said.

"The grass people thank the emperor for Hongen." Lin Xuanyi kowtowed again in a proper manner before getting up, and he didn't dare to raise his head, just stood aside with his head down.

Alas, ***, when you become an emperor, you don't even have someone to talk to your heart. Seeing that Lin Xuanyi was so respectful, Yinzuo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, so he had to laugh self-deprecatingly and said: "I'm still me, Mr. Lin doesn't have to be formal, I came here today to let 'Honghu' help do something, well, this matter is very important, I don't worry about letting others pass it on, of course, because I was in a panic in the palace, I took the opportunity to come out for a walk." ”

"Please give instructions to the emperor." Sun Chengfu hurriedly bowed and said.

"That's right, I'm looking for a kind of food, oh, it grows in the ground, it's called sweet potato or sweet potato, vine grows, the roots grow and have tuberous, one weighs about a catty, and the big one weighs three or four catties, well, this thing is native to Nanyang, let the 'Honghu' check it out, see if anyone has brought it back to China, if not, let the Eight Banners firm bring some vines back, I will be of great use." Yinzuo described the characteristics of sweet potatoes in a row and in a row.

"Holy Lord, but where is the famine?" Lin Xuanyi frowned, and immediately reacted.

"Well, there is a great drought in the two rivers, and there are insect plagues in the two lakes and Henan, and I have already ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, and the army of the Western Expedition has also withdrawn." The people present were all Yinzuo's henchmen, but Yinzuo didn't hide it, and said with a gloomy face.

Sun Chengfu didn't think it was a big deal, but Lin Xuanyi gasped and muttered: "In the year of the catastrophe, you have to beware of villains, this matter is very important, and it must not be leaked, but can sweet potatoes really solve the famine?" ”

"I don't know very well, but I've heard people say, well, this thing has a large output, and it's not very picky about the ground, so it should be able to be done." Yinzuo couldn't explain where he got the news, so he could only explain vaguely.

Yinzuo often has some whimsical ideas, from gunpowder to guns and the like, Lin Xuanyi has long been surprised, and he doesn't ask much, just nodded and said: "The grass people are clear, let's do it." ”

Yinzuo shook his head and said: "Let Chengfu do it, Dabi is over, and the palace will be tested in a few days, Mr. Lin still works the article, even if I want to use you, I have to have a reason, I hope Mr. Lin will not lose my hope." Yinzuo has always been confident in Lin Xuanyi's writing, but he was worried that Lin Xuanyi would deliberately not write well and escape from the battle, so he hurriedly advised.

"Yes, the grass people know." Lin Xuanyi couldn't hear the words in Yinzuo's words, so he responded respectfully and stopped talking.

Alas, I can't get back the feeling of talking and laughing at the beginning, look at this emperor, alas, the old man is really right, the result of saying that he is lonely is that he has become a lonely person. Yinzuo was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded and said, "That's good, I originally planned to meet Mr. Wu when I came out today, but it's not early, so forget it, Mr. Lin will pay tribute to me when he sees Mr. Wu." Chengfu, this matter is important, it can't be delayed, and when there is news, I immediately find Qingsong, I am in a hurry. As soon as Yinzuo's voice fell, he walked out of the study by himself, ignoring the congratulatory sound from behind him, but there was a sour taste in his heart.

Since he was out of the palace, Yinzuo didn't plan to go back so soon, so he simply wandered around the crowd, walked east and west, and looked at the west, so he was distracting and relieving the depression in his heart. Yinzuo stood in place for a while, thinking about it in a daze, but did not follow into the restaurant, sighed and turned around silently......
