Chapter 169 The Worthy Minister Wei Zhongxian (first update, please subscribe)
Headaches, of course.

But when he was having a headache, Zhu Youxiao was also waiting, waiting for Wei Zhongxian's suggestion. After all, he said so much, there must be a solution.

Otherwise, Wei Zhongxian would never have said so many troublesome things.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry about this matter, it's easy to say."

"Simple? Why is it so simple? Come and hear me?"

"Your Majesty might as well build a piece of land in the palace first, the place should not be too big, only three parts of the land will be enough."

"Oh? What are you doing here?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and motioned him to continue.

"Of course it is used to grow sweet potatoes. In this way, this sweet potato will become a unique treasure in the palace, and it was planted by the emperor himself."

Wei Zhongxian bowed his waist and recalled the suggestions Shi Yiwen gave him yesterday.

"Well, well, things will be rare in this way, and then."

Wei Zhongxian's suggestion made Zhu Youxiao nod again and again. This is because he wanted to borrow the name of the royal family. Such a thing is a good thing, of course he should borrow it.

"Then naturally invite those officials who are about to be dispatched to plant the land together, so as to teach them how to plant sweet potatoes and how to raise seedlings. After the busy work is over, each will give a few catties of sweet potato seeds to plant after taking office. Those magistrates and magistrates who have just been assigned to the local area must hope to make some political achievements. After they arrive at the local area, they will definitely plant sweet potatoes. Holy family, what about the second? Let the squires know that sweet potatoes are a good thing, even the emperor likes to eat them, and you also specially reward them to the virtuous ministers in the court. At that time, how can the squires find a way to ask for seed potatoes? ?”

When Wei Zhongxian said these words, he couldn't help admiring that kid Shi Yiwen again in his heart, that kid is fine, he actually came up with such a way.

"Well, what is good at the top must be good at the bottom, Jin Zhong, this is a good way for you."

Zhu Youxiao nodded in appreciation.

"My lord, it's not just like this. When you give seed potatoes, you can ask those officials to plant them, record the yield, and then write a letter back to the palace. The letter does not need to go through the cabinet, and it is directly submitted to the emperor. In this way , They must not dare to neglect, not only will plant it carefully in the yamen, but even send people to guard it, outsiders will see it so highly valued by officials, they must regard it as a good thing..."

"Well, the more mysterious it is, the more people want it, and it will have a miraculous effect."

Apart from praising, Zhu Youxiao also murmured in his heart.

"Is this the way Wei Zhongxian came up with?"

Obviously, this is definitely not what Wei Zhongxian thought of. He didn't realize what the "letter report" meant at all, but Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, knew what it meant, which meant that local officials could get around Open the usual channels, bypass the cabinet, bypass the ceremonial supervisor, and write directly to the emperor.

The production of sweet potatoes is not necessarily the only thing in their letters, there must be local affairs. With their reports, what else in this world can I hide from myself?After figuring out the benefits, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being shocked. The person who came up with this idea really has his heart in Sheji!Even if it is Jin Yiwei, there may not necessarily be those local officials who know the place better, their secret letters are the most authentic side of Daming.

What kind of "Sweet Potato Letter" is there? It is clearly a "Secret Remembrance Event!" in the name of Sweet Potato. Zhu Youxiao believes that those officials will definitely play its role, because this is their way to show themselves in front of the emperor. Chance!
This method is very good!

In fact, even if it was Shi Yiwen, he never thought that his casual suggestion would cause such waves in Zhu Youxiao's heart. One thing for sure is that with its existence, the emperor will not become blind and deaf.

"Isn't that the reason? At that time, the squires will definitely try their best to ask for seed potatoes. With the squires taking the lead, the people will naturally be willing to plant them. When the people start planting, the government will come forward and negotiate with the squires and landlords to allow the people to use them. Dry sweet potatoes for rent."

Seeing the emperor was happy, Wei Zhongxian said again.

"My lord, in addition to letting the officials do it, next year when the rural examination is held, scholars from all over the country will gather in the capital. After the rural examination is over, the emperor can reward them with kindness. Since it is not easy for them to go to the test, I will reward them with sweet potato seeds. , so that they can plant and spread it well, so as to benefit the people in their hometown. These scholars come from all over the country. When they bring the seed potatoes back, they will naturally bring them back to all parts of the country.”

If Zhu Youxiao had some doubts about the previous suggestion, then he no longer doubts it anymore. This is definitely not Wei Zhongxian's idea.

But what a great idea!

There will be more than [-] scholars who will go to the capital to take the exam next year. They come from all provinces in the country. Although not every county has them, there must be a few in every prefecture. If you give them sweet potatoes, naturally, overnight, Spread sweet potatoes to all parts of Ming Dynasty.

"...Although the common people cannot benefit quickly, when those scholars return home, they will definitely show off the sweet potatoes to the folks, boasting that this is a reward from the emperor. In the future, the common people will definitely be grateful for the great kindness of the emperor when they receive benefits. "

Of course, I will also be grateful to Wei Zhongxian. After all, this is a suggestion from our family. At that time, the common people will definitely build a longevity temple for us. By then, Wei Zhongxian will not be a wise minister through the ages!

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian felt proud!

What happened to our old Wei being a eunuch?
What's wrong with all of you scholars who are reading sage books one by one?
Our old Wei is an eunuch, but we have also done a lot of great things that benefit the country and the people, like this sweet potato, which is a good thing that can save millions of people. It's been a year, what's the matter?What's wrong?
Who in the world knows?
It's useless, in the end, it's our old Wei's credit, our old Wei is the great virtuous minister of Ming Dynasty!The kind that will last forever!

Complacent, Wei Zhongxian even began to think about whether he should have someone write a book and write about the achievements of our old Wei. At least the credit of passing on the sweet potatoes will be a special book, and then build an ancestral hall in his hometown, so that Look at everyone, although our old Wei is a eunuch, he is also capable of doing things.

That is to say, when Wei Zhongxian's mind was full of thoughts, and when he was secretly excited, suddenly a light word from the emperor reached his ears.

"Jin Zhong, you came up with all these methods?"
