"My lord, according to your instructions, we will first harvest and threshing ten acres of land at will, so as to achieve the purpose of randomly inspecting the yield per mu of fertile soil in the plains."

"This is the amount of each family's yield per mu, please take a look."

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others,

An old farmer who looked to be in his fifties was on his knees, his hands shaking with papers on his hands.

But they can also see that this old farmer, who should be the head of the village, is actually in very good health, so that he will not tremble when he does anything.

Besides, when he ran in, it can be said that he walked like flying, and when he knelt down, he was even more neat!

It was obvious that he was overexcited, and his voice choked and his hands trembled!

Looking at this scene, even if Zhu Yuanzhang can't see the data in it, they can guess a rough idea.

Ye Qing took the data and said, "Get up, don't be happy and sad." ”

The old farmer hurriedly stood up, smiled and nodded.

Ye Qing just looked at the data casually, and then used his spare eyes to look at Master Guo and his party who were standing on the side, stretching their necks.

"Want to see it?"

"Let's take it!"

After Mao Xiang took a piece of tissue paper to record the data, everyone gathered around.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at these words that were not very well written, and the further back they looked, the bigger their eyes became.

Data content: "Zhang Daring's family casually has an acre of land: the yield per mu of threshing is 680 catties, the estimated rice obtained by drying is 550 catties, and the rice is 410 catties. ”

"Liu Laosan's family casually has an acre of land: the yield per mu of threshing is 700 catties, the estimated rice obtained from drying is 560 catties, and the rice is 420 catties."

“.”

"Chen Lao Wu casually has one acre of land: the yield per mu of threshing is 750 catties, and it is estimated that the rice obtained from drying is 600 catties, and the rice is 450 catties."

Zhu Yuanzhang and others looked at these data, which were completely equivalent to miracles for them, and they really wanted to rub their eyes, for fear that they would be wrong.

If the Zhancheng rice that is widely planted in the Ming Dynasty now, the taste is not very good, not to mention, the average yield per mu is only 350 catties, and it is still the weight of not drying and not peeling.

After drying the shell, only sixty percent of the weight remains, that is, an average of 210 catties of rice per mu.

The new rice varieties researched by Ye Qing are not the best fertile soil, and they can produce 410 catties of rice, and the slightly better land will directly more than double.

"Great, if this rice seed is promoted to the entire Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty will no longer be hungry."

"If the people have food to eat, they will be willing to have more children, and our soldiers will be more, and when the time comes, we will fight whoever we want."

"Don't say it so ugly, we never beat others, we just educate them."

"Yes, yes, the heavenly soldiers are coming, educating the barbarians in the world!"

“.”

The young men of Jinyiwei looked at these data and excitedly expressed their thoughts.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma tried their best to restrain their excitement, they also listened to the words of these young men.

But what they think of is much more comprehensive!

The benefits of eating a full stomach for the people are too much!

The most obvious benefit is that the country is forever!

As Ye Qing said, as long as the people are fed and clothed, and they don't starve and freeze, they will never rebel easily with their heads.

Even if a few people covet the throne, it will definitely not work, because no one will help create an emperor who can feed and clothe everyone in the world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma looked at Ye Qing in unison after glancing at each other.

Their idea now is very simple, that is, to say two good words to him Ye Qing with a smile, and first give some verbal praise as Master Guo and Mrs. Guo!

Whether he Ye Qing will take a bite on the agricultural tax or not, that's all a story for later!

Judging from the current situation, his Ye Qing's creation work is real, and as the emperor of the dynasty, they can't stand here and be indifferent.

Even if you don't plan to identify yourself now, you should still give appropriate verbal praise and praise to those who have made meritorious contributions in your current capacity.

But just when they looked at Ye Qing with a smile and was about to speak, they found that Ye Qing was unimpressed with such good news, so that they had a little bit of a feeling of 'hot face on cold ass'.

But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't get angry.

He still smiled and said: "Congratulations to Lord Ye, for making such a contribution, as long as Lord Ye is interested in the new rice seedling breeding technology and the planting technology of the new rice seed, Your Majesty will definitely be happy." ”

"At that time, your career cannot be said to be smooth sailing, and you will definitely rise to the top!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang gave verbal praise and strong hints as Master Guo, Queen Ma continued to follow with a gentle smile.

Ye Qing listened to this series of compliments and hints that fools could understand, and only felt very impatient.

That kind of disgusted look is really aimed at them very intuitively.

Do you still want him to rise to the top?

He Ye Qing asked this part-time Qincha couple to witness all this, is it really for the sake of Qingyun?

He just wanted them to become accomplices who promoted Zhu Yuanzhang to kill himself.

Now that they have witnessed the yield per mu of the fertile soil of the plains, I will take them to witness the yield per mu of the mountain terraces in the afternoon.

In the end, they only need to know how many acres of fertile soil in the plains and how many acres of terraced fields in Yanmen County are among the 100,000 mu of paddy fields in Yanmen County, so that they can calculate the relatively accurate total output.

He just wants them to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the relatively accurate total output, and when the time comes, he will be able to tell Zhu Yuanzhang what it means to 'the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment'.

In this way, he Ye Qing's death decree should be in hand.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just said lazily: "Qingyun is straight up? ”

"If this official wants to rise to the top, do these things still need to be done?"

"This official can cooperate with Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong first, and replace them with the talent of this official is just a piece of cake."

"The reason why this official does not cooperate with them is purely because he does not take these mediocre talents in his eyes, let alone the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, they are not worthy of being under the same roof as this official."

Speaking of this, Ye Qing also patted the dust on his clothes with great disgust, even though his clothes were spotlessly clean.

Immediately afterwards, he crossed Erlang's legs again, looked down at Master Guo, who was saying good things, and said, "Also, Your Majesty is almost meaningless in the eyes of this official." ”

"This official disdains to act on that court and look at his face!"

"Aren't you allowed to talk to Your Majesty?"

"You can just go back and help the official ask him about the old man, since the official has made such a contribution, if he goes to be a Beijing official, can he have such a pomp anytime and anywhere?"

Speaking of which, Ye Qing also added some hand movements.

The movements in his hands are not complicated, it is a scene that clearly shows off his left beauty stroking the piano, the right beauty making tea, and the latter beauty pinching her shoulders.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, and his whole person stiffened there.

He really has a thousand words to say to Ye Qing now, but the thousands of words are gathered into one sentence, which is, 'If you kid has the ability, go to the capital and tell us this, and see how Lao Tzu kills you'.

But the only remaining reason still told him that this was not the capital, and he had to swallow back this sentence that reached his throat.

But even so, he was still extremely serious and said: "Master Ye, others are proud of their merits, you have made meritorious contributions and cocked your tail to the sky!" ”

Ye Qing saw that the part-time Qincha in front of him was working hard, and he continued to increase: "Shouldn't this official raise his tail to the sky?" ”

"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the yield of rice per mu was less than 100 catties!"

"During the Qin and Han dynasties, the yield of rice per mu was more than 100 catties!"

"During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the yield per mu of rice was barely 200 catties!"

"The Song Dynasty introduced Zhancheng rice, and the yield per mu was barely 300 catties!"

"Today, the yield per mu is only three hundred and fifty catties!"

"But the official has directly increased the yield of 350 catties per mu to 6 or 700 catties, how many years of detours have been missing, do you calculate it yourself?"

Speaking of this, Ye Qing also asked Shen Wan'er and the two attendants: "You say, is this official qualified to his tail to the sky?" ”

The answer that Zhu Yuanzhang heard was unanimous, and even these young men in Jinyi also echoed in a whisper.

When Mao Xiang saw this scene, he immediately stared, and they quickly shut up.

Mao Xiang did this just to save their lives, but in his heart, like the boys, he felt that he Ye Qing had this qualification.

But Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think so!

is still the same sentence, as long as he, Ye Qing, is an official under his Zhu Yuanzhang one day, he will never be allowed to do this.

It doesn't matter if he is still talking about pomp and circumstance at the feet of the Son of Heaven, does he still have the face of the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who felt that his hot face was sticking to the soles of his feet, was about to educate him as a master Guo.

But at this time, Queen Ma next to him said to Ye Qing with a smile: "In this way, Lord Ye naturally deserves it." ”

"Even if my lord is not good at speaking to His Majesty, the queen is relatively easy to speak."

"As long as I go back and explain these things truthfully to the queen mother, and then say Lord Ye's request, I believe that the mother will have a way to get His Majesty to agree."

"As for your dissatisfaction with Your Majesty, you can also directly go to Your Majesty's book, as long as it is reasonable, Your Majesty is not the kind of unreasonable person, he will definitely 'change if there is no encouragement'!"

At the same time as Queen Ma's voice fell, Ye Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at her at the same time.

Ye Qing secretly said in his heart: "No, this can also work?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "You are a loser and you want to turn the sky upside down, you dare to take this kind of thing, you can convince Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will have your surname, and dare to encourage him to play a copy of Lao Tzu, as long as he dares, Lao Tzu will definitely kill him!" ”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly ruthless, Ye Qing found another way home in the words of Mrs. Guo in front of him.

That is, to play and scold Zhu Yuanzhang, this is not good, that is not good!

But in his opinion, he shouldn't need this way!

As long as he takes a bite on the agricultural tax, he will definitely die, and if nothing else, he doesn't need to 'play and scold the emperor' at all!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing just said casually: "I'll talk about this later." ”

"It's almost time for dinner, so we'll have a farmhouse meal here, and then we'll go to the mountains to see the rice terraces."

Lunch meal,

The peasant women brought Ye Qing and them the peasant rice that had just been prepared, and the peasant rice was very simple, half rice and half vegetables in a large bowl.

Although it is not too hearty, there are also vegetarian dishes and meat to eat.

For farmers in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that they may not be able to eat good food during the New Year.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing and his two attendants, as well as the housekeeper Shen Wan'er, and the county Cheng Wu gathered around the coffee table to eat.

It's called a fragrance when you eat it!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's eating appearance at the moment, and thought of their fine meals in the house, and suddenly felt that he Ye Qing was also a person who could afford to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as coarse tea and light rice.

Looking at this scene, the anger in his chest only went down a little.

"Master, let's eat on the side."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sister-in-law's eyes, and immediately realized that his sister-in-law should have something to say to him.

The two of them and Mao Xiang were together, holding a bowl of food, and went to find a place where no one was.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, his brocade guards were also squatting in the shade with a basin-shaped bowl together with Ye Qing's servants and the farmers here, eating their meals.

They ate and chatted, with happy smiles on their faces.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure that after these young men return to the capital, they will definitely not have such a real smile.

Thinking of this, he began to think again.

But before he could think about it, Queen Ma found a place where she was sheltered from the sun and safe to speak.

Queen Ma said gently: "Chongba, when I said that, I knew what you would think. ”

"I lied to him, can I really promise him to go to the capital for you, and still be so pompous?"

"This person is indeed talented, and he is indeed arrogant, and his eloquence is not pleasant, to put it simply, he has a little bit of the style of the emperor of the earth, but this is harmless."

"I can guarantee that as long as you get him to the capital, he will immediately kneel in front of you."

"The reason why he dares to be so crazy now is only because he doesn't know the identity of you and me, and he is still in Yanmen County, where everyone treats him as an immortal."

"When he goes to Yingtian alone, that's how crazy he is now,"

Without waiting for Queen Ma to continue speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately added with a smile: "When the time comes, he will kneel as fast as he wants!" ”

"Girl, you're still smart!"

"However, whether he has the order to go to the palace to kneel down for us depends on how much tax he pays us!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's appetite immediately increased, and he squatted directly and took a big bite of dry rice.

"Yes, fragrant and delicious!"

"This Ye Qing is really a genius, and the new rice varieties researched are high-yielding and much tastier than Champa rice."

“.”

Halfway through the afternoon,

After they have eaten and drunk enough and had a good lunch break, it is time to go up the mountain to see the terraced rice.

It's just that there are only six light and simple sedan chairs (sliding rods) for mountain use.

Ye Qing and Wu Yong, plus Shen Wan'er and the two maids each sat on one top, and there was only one left on the scene.

In the eyes of all,

The sedan chair man looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma and said, "You two, who sits in the sedan chair and who walks?" ”.

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
