Zhu Song nodded.

"After so many years of farming, I have also gained a little experience, most of the land in the south is mainly yellow soil and red soil, and the nutrients in the yellow soil and red soil are not as good as the nutrients in the black soil, and in the north of Liaodong, the further north the place, the darker the color of the land."

"To tell you the truth, I went to Liaodong, and about the next year, I sent a team of people to the south of Nuergandusi, and thoroughly investigated it, and I asked them to bring back some local soil, which was black and shiny."

"If rice and wheat are planted in such a field, it will not only have a high yield, but also taste good, as for corn, although it has not been successful several times before, I always feel that corn is a rare good object, and I heard from the Hu businessman who sold me grain, this corn can be planted in the ground for an acre up to 1,000 catties."

"If you can plant it in that large piece of black soil north of Liaodong, my God, this king can't even think about how much the yield of that acre of land will be."

"When Lord Yuezhang returns to Kaiyuan and everything is stable, send a letter to his son-in-law, and the son-in-law will find an opportunity to explain this matter to the emperor at that time, and be sure to make use of the fertile land that has not been cultivated."

Feng Cheng was also excited in his heart after hearing this, if this matter can really be done, then there must be a name of his own in the credit book.

"Your Highness, if this matter can really be done, Your Highness will be the first hero of my Ming Dynasty! It is the first hero of my Chinese children! ”

Feng Cheng praised Zhu Song like this, which really made Zhu Song a little embarrassed.

In fact, where is the credit of Zhu Song, Zhu Song just has the advantage of being a traverser, knowing that these grains can be eaten, and he does not pick land, and the yield is very high.

Even if it is unpalatable food, as long as it is planted in the ground, it can grow and eat, it is better than Guanyin soil, and eating Guanyin soil can support death, and it is not easy to die if you eat this thing, it is a good thing.

"Lord Yue, all this is just conjecture, if it can be successful, it is naturally good, if it can't be done, don't be discouraged, anyway, try little by little, you can always find food that eats the undead, and can fill your stomach."

Feng Cheng nodded approvingly: "Your Highness is right, as long as you can fill your stomach with undead people, it is good food, alas, I heard that Shaanxi and Shanxi have suffered from a major drought that has not been encountered for decades, although the people's grain is not harvested, but according to previous years, the output has also dropped sharply, and some rice has not even bore ears." ”

"The imperial court is also anxious about this matter now, and when I left the palace, I also saw Xia Yuanji, the newly appointed head of the household department, and the two attendants of the household department, both staying outside the imperial study and waiting."

"This year's tax collection is not ideal, although the officials who control the government of the Jianwen Dynasty are not good, but it is really a top trick to collect taxes."

"At the beginning of the spring, the taxes of the Ming Dynasty were basically collected, and now it is our turn to collect this tax in the Yongle Dynasty, and we don't know whether it should be collected or not."

"You said that if you accept it, whether the people can celebrate the New Year this year is two different things, but if you don't collect it, and the court has no money, there are millions of taels left to provide disaster relief, because the war has caused serious damage to the houses in Shandong and Henan, and these can't be ignored, and the city defense from north to south has also been greatly damaged, and it must be repaired."

"It's really a problem for each family!"

Zhu Song nodded, originally according to Zhu Song's plan, after the fourth brother became the emperor, he wrote to him, asking to lower the fortune of the vassal king of the imperial court, and mention the officials' silver.

Again, Emperor Taizu's method of raising honesty will not work, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.

Officials are not better than ordinary people, ordinary people don't spend much money on farming and eating all year round, but officials, you always have to have some silver to come and go, and there is a gift to each other during the New Year's holidays or something.

Besides, this official of the seventh rank or above in the imperial court usually can't do everything himself at home, so he has to hire a few subordinates, which is another amount of money.

There are many officials who are reluctant to drink wine all year round, and as long as they are given a little sweetness in the long run, they are very likely to change from a non-corrupt official to a corrupt official.

But now that he looks at it, there is not much silver in the treasury, and the fourth brother has just ascended to the throne, so he probably won't agree to his own reduction of the vassal king's Yulu book.

Compared with the vassal kings' military power and military power, Zhu Di's choice must be very simple and clear, that is, the priority of military power is higher than that of Yulu, since you want other people's military power, then don't reduce it, since you want to reduce other people's money, then don't cut it.

It's not that when you become an emperor, you can do whatever you want, you can deduct whomever you want, and you can take whomever you want to take away your military power, it's really that easy, how could Zhu Di rebel? It is even more unlikely that the rebellion will succeed.

There are few vassal kings in the world who are fuel-efficient lamps, and the reason why they don't oppose it is because there are indeed no Zhu Di's two hits, but rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, isn't the best case Zhu Song and Zhu Di?

Zhu Di already had the ambition to be an emperor, but Zhu Song didn't, Zhu Song was forced by Jianwen, there was no way.

Therefore, at this time, the matter of mentioning the vassal king's Yulu will definitely not be agreed, and the vassal king's Yulu cannot be lowered, and the official's Yulu cannot be mentioned either.

But fortunately, the Yongle dynasty relied on Zhu Di's strong ability, even if it was not enough, those officials did not have any complaints, and they did not dare to produce a powerful and corrupt official.

It's just that how to pass this hurdle in front of him is indeed stumped by the emperor, the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and Zhu Song is also a little stumped.

"It's really not easy for the imperial court now, and Jianwen is really evil."

Feng Cheng nodded in agreement.

Feng Cheng stayed in the palace that night, and after eating, Feng Cheng went home.

The next day, Zhu Song and Princess Han bid farewell to Feng Cheng outside the city, Princess Han couldn't cry, and Concubine Zhao was also taken by Princess Han to sob, and Concubine Zhao was the same.

After Concubine Zhao came to Yingtian with Zhu Song, his parents naturally stayed in Kaiyuan.

It took Zhu Song a long time to coax the two girls to almost coax them.

Just as I was about to go home, there was a brocade guard over there to report.

"Your Highness, the Qin prisoners Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are already on the way, and they are expected to be able to enter Beijing this afternoon!"

Zhu Song was overjoyed after hearing this.

"If you can enter Beijing this afternoon, then the feeling is good, this king has been looking forward to the two adults for a long time, by the way, is there any news from Shandong? For example, has anything happened in Wei County recently? ”
