Zhu Di looked at Yang Shiqi, who looked unimpressed and always maintained his Hanlin demeanor, and a hint of banter flashed in his eyes.

Among the five elders in the cabinet, his closest people are undoubtedly Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang, and Jin Youzi, who can be called confidants.

Hu Guang, a dead fat man, looks cute and harmless to humans and animals, but he can be so sleek that he is shameless and very flexible.

However, this dead fat man is extremely sensitive to national policies, and has his own unique set of opinions, and even the old monks praise him.

followed by Jin Youzi, the most reliable, the most steady, full of strategy, people can't guard against it, and he understands his heart the most.

And this Yang Shiqi is like an old yellow dog, well, it doesn't mean to scold, slippery, non-sticky, and the golden mean is played by him.

Of course, if it were just that, Zhu Di would not treat him as a confidant.

The main thing is that this product is very stable!

At a critical time, it is the kind of minister who can control the country, stabilize the dynasty, and assist the new monarch!

At this time, it was rare to see Yang Shiqi also look away, Zhu Di couldn't help but look forward to what kind of expression this product should have on his face after knowing the yield of sweet potatoes per mu.

Tsk, it's so late that the old man wants to pretend to be forced. In a corner of Fengtian Palace, Zhu Zhandong's divine sense saw all this.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the yield of this sweet potato is?" At this time, the fat man who was standing next to Yang Shiqi and looked like he was full of fat suddenly spoke.

A pair of slitted eyes flashed with a light called cunning.

Hu Guang deserves to be the most tactful.

Knowing Zhu Di's personality, he knows that this majesty can never fight uncertain battles.

There must be something magical about this sweet potato!

Thinking about it, Hu Guang glanced at Yang Shiqi and sneered in his heart, how could this thing be so brainless?

Can he see that this old yellow dog, who is as steady as Mount Tai, is playing with something very new?

This is pandering to Your Majesty in reverse!

Jin Youzi, who was thin on the side but had a straight waist, glanced at Zhu Di above, as well as King Han and King Zhao with playful smiles on their faces, and then looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was smiling and silent, and finally glanced at Yang Shiqi, who looked disappreciative.

He has always been a last resort, and he saw through it in an instant.

This game is too high-end, and he doesn't plan to meddle in.

Thinking about it, Jin Youzi didn't speak, holding his hands and looking like he didn't express his opinion.

Hearing Hu Guang's inquiry, Zhu Di nodded secretly in his heart, this dead fat man can always be sent to the steps in time when I need it.

At this time, the ministers of the court and the central government also looked at Zhu Di, and they were also extremely curious about what was so remarkable about His Majesty's emphasis on this unsightly new grain species.

Even Xia Yuanji, who is Zhu Di's housekeeper, is also curious.

Seeing that he had fully aroused the appetite of the ministers and the atmosphere was almost baked, Zhu Di finally opened his mouth to reveal the mystery.

"Sweet potatoes can be grown twice a year!"

Two seasons a year? Hearing that this ugly-looking sweet potato can be planted twice a year, everyone was slightly surprised, this thing can eat the ground more than wheat?

If you grow wheat in the north, you can only grow one season.

Of course, everyone was just surprised.

Especially Yang Shiqi, there is no heterogeneous color in his calm eyes.

Obviously, this so-called merit does not attract his attention.

The rice grown in the south can also be grown twice a year, and this sweet potato can be compared to the crystal full, transparent and lovely rice?

Zhu Di took in everyone's disapproving expressions and continued:

"Sweet potatoes can be grown in both north and south, and the environmental requirements are not high, even in that barren land, they can still take root and sprout!"

Tsk, that's interesting, huh? The ministers were finally intrigued this time.

Even Yang Shiqi, who had always been unconcerned, couldn't help but pick up the sweet potato in his hand and look at it, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"If this is the case, in the north and south seasons, even if the harvest is not as good as rice, the official can still call it a grain seed, but ...... Just like that, let His Majesty be so excited, hum ......" Thinking about it, Yang Shiqi's face returned to calm again.

Hu Guang cooperated with a look of surprise on the side.

Well, all he has to do is make a non-revealing fit to meet His Majesty's "G" spot.

Yang Shiqi's kind is too high-end to play!

Jin Youzi was an upright person, and he couldn't learn Hu Guang's acting skills to cooperate with His Majesty's performance, nor did he have such a high rank as Yang Shiqi, so he could only purse his lips and keep silent.

As for the other two of the five elders, Hu Yan, the old guy is the oldest of the five elders, not showing mountains and water, leaning on his back, and drowsy.

Dongyang, Yang Rong, the three Yangs, held the ivory wat with both hands and drooped naturally, glanced at Yang Shiqi, who was as famous as himself, and then his eyebrows drooped.

For a time, the cabinet of five elders, five faces, different performances.

The other ministers were talking about each other, some of them were positive about the sweet potato, and some were skeptical, after all, they didn't know what the yield was.

However, after hearing Zhu Di say this, most people have already decided that this sweet potato must be promoted nationwide.

It is also a kind of new goodness, and if the people can gain more, they will have more peace, and the imperial treasury will be fuller.

After Zhu Di and the other ministers below talked a lot, they took a deep breath, looked around at everyone, and fixed on Yang Shiqi's face.

"Spring planting, the yield per mu can reach up to 4,000 catties; Summer planting, the yield per mu can reach up to 2,000 catties, and the annual yield per mu is about 6,000 catties. ”

After Zhu Di finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

Yang Shiqi's face, which seemed to have collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing color, finally couldn't hold back, and a pair of blazing eyes stared at the boss!

"Whoop!! Finally, there was an uproar!

"Two seasons a year, the annual yield per mu can reach up to more than 6,000 catties?!"

"If it is really as Your Majesty said, then, then, it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is a divine thing!"

"If this thing is really so productive, then my people will no longer have to worry about food!"

"Daming will usher in the real prosperity of Chaomai through the ages!"

“……”

Above the main hall.

The ministers didn't care about any loss of honor in front of the palace at this time, and they danced one by one, spitting excitedly, and competing with others!

The entire Fengtian Palace, like a bazaar, was noisy.

Yang Shiqi raised his hand tremblingly, looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and muttered to himself: "This thing can be so high-yielding?" ”

He admitted that at first, he wanted to reverse the string, create a very arrogant and arrogant character, and then slap His Majesty in the face, which can be regarded as making him happy.

But at this moment, when he heard the yield of sweet potatoes, he was really shocked!

"Bring it to you!" Just when Yang Shiqi was staring at the sweet potato in his hand in a daze, a big chubby hand shot directly.

Accidentally, the sweet potato in Yang Shiqi's hand was snatched away by Hu Guang.

Then I saw that the other three elders also surrounded him, staring at the sweet potato in Hu Fatzi's hand, as if admiring a pair of living spring palaces.

One by one, they wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch it, for fear of damaging the divine seed, so they could only stare wide-eyed and look at it carefully, as if they wanted to see through the sweet potato.

"Fat Hu!" Yang Shiqi, who was robbed of the sweet potato, was taken aback, and regardless of his personal image, he was about to rush up and snatch the sweet potato back.

But then, he glanced at it, and noticed another thing in the tray in the hands of the eunuch on the side!

It was pale yellow, like a lump of dirt, the size of an adult's fist, and there were some small black spots scattered on it.

Well, the shape looks a bit like a sweet potato, but the color is different, and it is not as long as a sweet potato, and the whole looks a little irregular.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what this is?" Yang Shiqi asked.

Yang Shiqi's voice was extremely loud and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

For a while, everyone couldn't help but cast curious glances at the potatoes in Yang Shiqi's hands.

Only then did they remember that His Majesty had said that all the eunuchs were holding in their hands were grain!

Hu Guang squeezed his slitted eyes, tried to keep his eyes open, and looked at Zhu Di above.

At this time, the desired effect of 'pretending to be forced' had been achieved, and Zhu Di didn't plan to sell Guanzi, so he raised his hand and signaled Zhu Gaochi to say.

Zhu Gaochi didn't talk nonsense, stepped forward, took out the fold he had prepared long ago from his cuff, and opened it: "This thing is called Potato ......"

"It can be planted for two seasons, and the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties!"

After a pause, Zhu Gaochi didn't give everyone time to marvel, and continued to read: "Corn, the yield per mu can be thousands of catties......"

“…… Peanuts, peppers, tomatoes, apples, ......"

A series of sprinkled dozens of vegetables, melons and fruits As Zhu Gaochi read them out one by one, the ministers had become completely numb from the initial exclamations.

Looking at the new grain seeds in the hands of these eunuchs, they seemed to be in a dream.

In order to verify whether they are really dreaming, some people directly give the person next to them a black fist, the kind that digs out their hearts.

Listening to the painful squeaky in my ears, I was sure that it wasn't a dream!

Zhu Di looked at the chaotic ministers below, but he was not half angry, but always smiled. He is willing to share this joy with his ministers, and he is even more willing to share it with the people of the world.

"Dad, did you see that?" Zhu Di's gaze swept over the ministers, looked at the sky outside the Fengtian Palace, in the distance, and his eyes were profound, "Da Ming will not only become a real rich country in the hands of his son, but also become an immortal country!" ”

"I'm the most suitable person for Daming, you're wrong!"

“……”

Half an hour later.

After everyone quieted down, Zhu Di took a deep breath and said:

"Half a month ago, I asked Jinyiwei to deliver the new grain to the various political departments."

"After that, the political secretaries will distribute them to the people of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties and the tuntian guards according to the households, and there will be special personnel to explain the method of farming......"

"Do you have any other objections to this?" As he spoke, Zhu Di raised his wide sleeves and said, "If there is any problem, let's talk about it together!" ”

"Your Majesty obeys Your Majesty's Divine Commandment!"

After hearing that Zhu Di had already arranged everything, the ministers said that it didn't make any sense.

"Good!" Seeing that no one in the group had any opinions, Zhu Di waved his hand and said:

"Listen to the order, from today onwards, the grain will be distributed to all political secretaries, and the political secretaries will distribute it uniformly!"

"Anyone who chooses to grow new grain will be exempted from tax for one year, and military fields are not in this category!"

"The direct children of families who grow new grain can enter the hall, and the number of study places, including follow-up study funds, is provided by the imperial court!"

"In order to prevent indiscriminate filling, the number of children cannot be replaced, bought and sold, and the exempt quota will be cancelled for violators, and children are not allowed to enter the office!"

"The term of supply for the imperial court is three years!

The minimum requirement within three years, the third-class talent in the college examination, and those who do not meet the standards will no longer be provided by the imperial court. ”

"The house of the official gentry is not among them!"

A series of policies came out of Zhu Di's mouth.

The ministers below pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Hear the last one, just three signals:

First, Your Majesty is going to be determined to promote new grain, who dares to obstruct it, how thick today's grace is, how ruthless the revenge will be!

Second, there is such a harvest of new grain, they are naturally actively cooperating, well, who is sitting here and doesn't have a few acres of fertile land under their name?

3. Tax exemption? It has nothing to do with us, and we don't pay taxes in the first place. What are the places for the imperial court to study? A bit cheap, but not much!

Since His Majesty wants to bless the world and promote the new grain, and it does not harm their interests, they are naturally happy to support it.

Zhu Zhandong's divine sense saw all this in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, "From the old man's series of policies, it is not difficult to see that he has realized the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty today......"

"It seems that I was in high spirits that day, and he listened to everything he said, and there are very serious problems in the land situation of Daming!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Zhan couldn't help but think of the two land cultivation census data of the early Ming Dynasty and the Hongwu Yongle Dynasties.

In the 25th year of Hongwu, more than 8 million hectares of land were cultivated in the country, but in the 13th year of Yongle, there were only more than 7.2 million hectares of cultivated land.

There is even a loss of nearly a million hectares!

Really, it makes people can't believe it for a while, and there can be less!

The reason for this is the policies of various aspects, which led to the corruption of officials and the large increase of nobility in the Yongle Dynasty.

If this continues, it will be over sooner or later!

Thinking of these headaches, Zhu Zhan shook his head slightly, "But the old man has cultivated immortals, and there is time to slowly correct it." ”
