Ming dynasty grand dude

Yang Yiqing had no choice but to twist his beard and smiled bitterly: "The old man has to live for a few more years!"

"Sigh...Speaking of which, Lord Mu Zhai doesn't know what he's doing now."

Li Dongyang smiled and changed the subject.

Xie Qian and Xie Muzhai are proud and arrogant, and have always been very concerned about their duties after entering the Senate.

And he is very concerned about his title of "Xie Gongyou Kankan".

So I have acquired a lot of things over the years, and I want to make some achievements.

No, the rebellion of King Ning some time ago caused chaos in Ganzhou and Jiangnan.

Without saying a word, Lao Xie took over the task of representing the emperor and the cabinet as an imperial envoy, and took dozens of people from various ministries and divisions to Jinling.

Prepare to sit in Jinling and straighten out the situation in the two places.

However, Lao Xie's move made his reputation soar instantly.

When people talk about him Xie Muzhai, no one calls him "Xie Gongyou Kankan".

Now everyone says "Xiegong Township", which can be regarded as a windfall.

"You said that the Zhang family is an idiot, obviously he provoked all the things! Why is the old man and others working hard!"

Yang Yiqing was very helpless, the Zhang family idiot Huer had retreated to his thatched hut since returning to Beijing.

Except for retaining the military rank, all military positions were directly resigned on the grounds that "grandfather is still here, avoid suspicion and talk".

Emperor Hongzhi originally disagreed at this time, but he reluctantly agreed until he entered the palace and had an in-depth talk.

"That child is extremely intelligent, how could he lock himself in this cage?!"

Li Dong also smiled wryly: "Your Majesty may also be thinking about keeping him with the crown prince."

"After all, how old is he!"

Speaking of this matter, Yang Yiqing was even more helpless.

A few of them old guys, including various ministries and divisions, were hung by the carrot of the Senate.

Who wouldn't want to be honored into the Senate after becoming an official!

In the past, he was an extremely human minister when he entered the cabinet, but now he is the ultimate minister only if he enters the Senate!

The status is detached, carefree!

His Majesty's salary is high and the treatment is good.

If you are upset, you can still find fault with the various ministers of the cabinet.

Just don't be too cool.

"The prince is also in charge of a lot of affairs now, the jade chi tiger is really good at teaching!"

Li Dongyang smiled and didn't talk to him. Now his son has become famous after he came out from Yu Chihu.

Among the younger generation, apart from a few seniors, they are the top ones.

What pleased Li Dongyang the most was that Li Zhaoxian was in good health!

He just got married a few days ago and married the daughter of Liu Hao, brother of Liu Daxia clan.

Now that she has a body, Zhang Yanran, as a sister-in-law, personally consulted her and prescribed anti-abortion prescriptions.

Lao Li now feels that his life is complete.

What else do you ask for?

Even Emperor Hongzhi recently allocated a small manor, Lao Li, to each of the cabinet elders with new regulations, and he felt ashamed of receiving it.

But considering where his children and grandchildren will stay in the capital in the future, Lao Li is still ashamed.

"I wonder if Lord Xiya can recommend something?!"

But Yang Yiqing hesitated for a while, smiled wryly and sighed.

Li Dongyang laughed, waved his hands and said: "What's so difficult?! When I was resting, the old man and Suian went to visit the thatched hut of Yuchihu!"

He said this with confidence, after all, he had a lot of dealings.

Lao Li also knew that as long as that Jade Chihu didn't put on airs too much, he was easy to get along with.

It's just that they didn't know that the visit would be impossible.

"Little Grandpa! Little Grandpa! It's done!!"

It has been several months since he came back from suppressing the rebellion, and Zhang Xiaogong did not expect that the first batch of people who officially came to visit him were Lao Qianneng.

The candidates who passed the examination in Yizhou, and those who were appointed exceptionally were so excited that they came here with their pockets on their shoulders.

When they opened it in front of Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhang was also excited!

Riddles, potatoes!

"Duke Qian, it really has grown?!"

The leader with the long beard wiped the corners of his eyes, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"After all, I have lived up to my teacher's entrustment! My father and Mr. Qian have been worrying and working day and night, and finally they have planted it!"

Picking up the potatoes one by one, Zhang Xiaogong's hands were trembling.

Food!Food is the life of a country!

Food, he is the foundation of a country!

Once there is a food crisis in the country, no matter how prosperous the world is, it will be nothing but a castle in the air.

Studies by some scholars in later generations have shown that most of the dynasty changes in ancient China were closely related to sudden climate changes.

For example, "Harvard Chinese History 5: Yuan and Ming Dynasty", there is such a description in it:

"I can't help but think that we should compare the political fortunes of the Yuan and Ming dynasties with their climate change:

Kublai Khan moved his capital to Beijing at the beginning of the Little Ice Age; in 1366, the Yuan Dynasty declined and was in the extremely cold period of the first stage of the Little Ice Age

In 1644, the Ming Dynasty fell, at the end of the longest severe cold period recorded in this 400-year history.

Temperature is certainly not the only factor explaining these major historical events, but any explanation will certainly not bypass it. "

Even pushing forward to the Tang Dynasty, there were many reasons for the final decline of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the last straw that crushed the camel's death was undoubtedly the Huangchao Rebellion.

One year before Wang Xianzhi's uprising, there was a severe drought in Kanto, and the people still had to pay rent, tax and serve as servants without enough food.

People are desperate, what can they choose? !

In the second year of Qianfu 875, Huang Chao and his nephews Huang Kui and Huang Enye set up an army in Heze, Shandong Province, in response to Wang Xianzhi.

Because of the severe drought, the government forced the people to rebel, which directly led to the downfall of Tang Dynasty.

Huang Chao's rebel army captured Chang'an, Huang Chao was defeated, and Zhu Wen usurped Tang Jianliang.

Food is the root of a country.

Once these potatoes and corns are widely spread, countless lives will be saved!

"Perhaps this is the best gift I can leave behind in this era..."

For the first time, Miao An and Ashikaga Crane saw a trace of mist in their husband's eyes.

"Zian worked hard!"

This is Meng Bing from Yizhou, named Zi'an.

He is the head of Yizhou students, Zhang Xiaogong once made an exception and included it in the gate wall to show his respect for Yizhou.

The signboard of Yuchi Humen is not too loud in Shilin nowadays.

That's really going out, and you are a little more arrogant than others.

Meng Zi'an also strived for success, and was the first among Yizhou Juren to pass the Jinshi examination.

Now he is working in the Ministry of Education and Education of Xiang Xu, and will be sent to Huizhou Prefecture in the coming year.

His goal is not to stay in the capital, but to return to Yizhou to take up a post and take charge of education.

So that Yizhou can get more students out of the exam, so that Yizhou can educate and educate.

"Don't dare to say bitterness! The teacher's love for Yizhou, and the students are deeply impressed!"

Although Meng Zi'an is older than Yuchihu, the phrase "benefactor" is really sincere.

If there was no mentor who urged Qian Gong to go to Yizhou, how could they be prosperous now if they were still farming by slash-and-burn? !

Not to mention that he can still go to school, after passing the exam in Yizhou, he came to the capital to study as an official.

"What is the yield per mu of these grains?! How much have you harvested now?!"

Mencius wiped the corners of his eyes and bowed respectfully.

"It is consistent with what General Heinrich said! The yield per mu is even more, and now it is counted after harvesting..."

"Yizhou is hot and humid, and the people are afraid of stealing potatoes for fear of sprouting. Now, Mr. Qian asked my father to tell them that sprouting potatoes are poisonous..."

Meng Zian was already so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he told everything he knew.

"Go! Follow me into the palace, see Your Majesty!"

Grandpa Zhang let out a deep breath, he decided to do a big thing!

Use this great event to reward Lao Qianneng for his achievements.

It is also to use this great event to inspire younger generations.

Soon, a group of people passed through the capital and came to the palace.

The three elders who had just been dismissed from the cabinet were urgently summoned. When they hurried into the palace, they even saw the cars of several elders of the Senate.

Even Liu Jian looked hurried, Li Dongyang and the others suddenly became nervous.

What kind of event happened that caused Emperor Hongzhi to summon them all.

"Her Majesty, why is His Majesty so anxious to see the old man this time?!"

Li Dongyang couldn't help but grow his mouth when he saw that the British princes had come.

The old Duke was also a little puzzled at this time, even though he was loyal to King Wu.

But the veterans still used to call him the British Duke, and he didn't care about it.

"The old man has just arrived, how do I know what happened?"

The tiger-headed old Duke is also very helpless, he has retired to the Senate.

Ordinarily, it is reasonable to go to the Senate to report every day, and live a leisurely life.

But what's the matter with this urgent summoning now.

The group of people quickly entered the palace with apprehension.

"The extraterritorial fine seeds in Yizhou can be planted with money!"

After entering the palace, Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the pocket sidewalk on the ground with red eyes.

"The yield of this corn can reach five shi per mu! The yield of this potato can reach as much as eight shi per mu!"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were almost red, and his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

"The yield of this sweet potato is ten shi per mu!"

Not to mention Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian were all dumbfounded for a while.

Especially Liu Daxia, who almost knelt down as soon as his legs gave way.

Why? !

Daming is now in the field, and the yield per mu is two and a half stones, which is considered high yield.

But the lowest one of others has to be twice as productive as his own!

As for the sweet potato, the direct yield per mu is as high as ten stones.

"Your Majesty! Is this true?!"

This old guy Liu Jian's beard is trembling with excitement, if that's the case... Da Ming has nothing to worry about!
