Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Mr. Zhao, the minister of household registration, brought Hu Cao, followed by a few small officials carrying a few baskets of household registration documents, and hurried to Xingqing Palace.

His Majesty opened his mouth and broke his leg.

It took a lot of time just to open the warehouse and get the documents.

Household statistics are from many years ago.

The household registration documents have long been lost in an unknown corner of the warehouse.

It was only with the help of Tax Cao that the paperwork was put together.

In the winter, Master Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, was stunned and sweated.

When I arrived at Xingqing Palace, I saw, Omg, Mrs. Zhao was also there, it must be no good.

Even good things come with risks.

First meet and greet, then talk about business.

Your Majesty, the household registration documents of all counties under the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi region are here.

Emperor Wende said: Gu Jiu said that she knows the situation of every village in Gyeonggi area. You can just flip through a book and test her.

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, widened his eyes and stared at Gu Jiu, Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything big?

How dare you talk big about such a big thing. Feel free to ask the adults, and I will try my best to answer.

The Minister of Household, Master Zhao, was dubious, and motioned Hu Cao to choose a household registration document in the most remote county.

Hu Cao understood and selected a book from the bottom of the basket, Mahua Village, Daoji County.

Gu Jiu opened his mouth and came, Mahua Village is a village with a variety of surnames, there are ten surnames. Among them, the surname is Bai, and Lizheng is the surname of Bai. He is the son of Lizheng in the previous generation. After three years of writing, he can write well. Count. Mahua Village has a total of 82 households and a population of 478 people. Among them, there are more than 50 elderly people...

No, Mahua Village has a total of 64 households registered in the document, with a population of less than 400. Hu Cao interrupted Gu Jiu's words.

Gu Jiu: Haha!

Dare you ask what year is the record on this paper?

Hu Cao said: The statistics were collected once in the 12th year of Kaiyao, and the statistics were added once in the 25th year of Kaiyao.

Gu Jiu smiled and said: You are the old imperial calendar more than ten years ago. The data I am talking about comes from last year's statistics. As far as I know, at the end of last year, there were four pregnant women in Mahua Village.

Not surprisingly, this year Mahua Village has added four more people.

Hu Cao was speechless.

Wen Dedi's eyes lit up, and his mood suddenly became very beautiful.

Master Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Housing, was also in a beautiful mood and was very excited.

He directly put aside the accountant, and randomly selected a household registration document from the basket.

Xiaxi Village, Daoji County.

Gu Jiu talked eloquently, Xiaxi Village has two surnames living together. It is a big village, and it is close to the water source, so it is relatively wealthy. However, the battle between the two surnames has never ceased, so that the Xiaxi Village is changed every year, and the two surnames take turns...

The Hilltop Village.

As the name suggests, Peak Village is located deep in the mountains. There are 32 households in the whole village, and the total population...

Pingyao Village.

Pingyao Village is located next to the official road, and the whole village has a total of...

Master Zhao, the minister of households, mentioned more than a dozen villages in one go.

No matter how biased it was, Gu Jiu came without any hesitation.

She said that she knew the situation of every village in Gyeonggi area.

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, was so excited that he couldn't help himself, Dare to ask Mrs. Zhao, your data were all collected last year? Are you sure it's accurate?

Gu Jiu said: Some villages were counted last year, and some were counted in the first half of this year.

Can you lend this data to the Ministry of Accounts to transcribe?

The most difficult job of the Ministry of Households is not to collect taxes, but to count the population.

This job is really hard.

He never imagined that Gu Jiu's man would spend a few years trying to figure out the situation of every village in the Gyeonggi area. Really ashamed.

Master Zhao had a heartfelt admiration for Gu Jiu.

Mrs. Zhao is not allowed to be a man.

No, she is more capable than men.

Gu Jiu was quite cheerful, The data is on the firm's side. I'll have someone send it to the household department tomorrow.

Thank you Mrs. Zhao. Master Zhao was very grateful.

Gu Jiu smiled, Your Excellency is polite.

Master Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Master Gu's dead brains, to be able to give birth to such a smart girl, is indeed the genes of the Su family.

I heard that someone from the Su family has already gone to work. Do you want to get that kid from the Su family to serve as an official in the household department?

Su Zheng never expected that good luck would fall from the sky.

Just because of Gu Jiu's light, he suddenly lost seven or eight years of struggle.

Of course, with his ingenuity, he will not fail to live up to the promotion of the Minister of the Household, Master Zhao.

Regarding Su Zheng, this is something that will be discussed later.

In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly became very excited.

Even Emperor Wende got excited.

He asked, Gu Jiu, why did you send your staff to investigate the situation in every village in the Gyeonggi area?

Gu Jiu returned honestly, In the beginning, it was to buy agricultural products. Later, it was to promote the breeding industry, and later, it was to promote the small commodities produced by the workshop.

Oh! How are things going?

Gu Jiu said: The acquisition of agricultural products is progressing very smoothly. The butcher shop under the name of the Four Seas Trading Company has tripled in size. The breeding industry is progressing in general. There is a solution now.

any solution?

Has Your Majesty heard of sweet potatoes?

Emperor Wende frowned, he had never heard of it.

He looked at Lord Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

Master Zhao nodded, The old minister knows sweet potatoes. I heard that the yield of this product is very high, and it is very easy to survive. It can withstand hunger, but if you eat too much, you will be full of stomach. The old minister also heard that sweet potatoes first appeared in Mrs. Zhao's farm. .

Without waiting for Gu Jiu to speak, Emperor Wen De took the lead in asking: Is the yield really very high, is it easy to survive? How high is the yield?

Emperor Wende's expression was serious, but his eyes were shining.

Gu Jiu said: My daughter-in-law has spent several years cultivating sweet potato seeds suitable for planting in the north. The current yield per mu can reach about 800 catties per mu, and it can be planted on dry land and sloping land. This thing is drought-tolerant. My daughter-in-law also We are going to continue to screen and cultivate seeds, and strive for a breakthrough in the production capacity per mu.

Both Emperor Wende and the Minister of the Household, Lord Zhao, showed shocked expressions.

This year, the yield of rice and wheat per mu is generally two or three hundred catties, and the yield of corn is even lower.

Three hundred catties or four hundred catties are all fertile fields, and the crops are well served. We must also ensure that the weather is good for the year and the water supply is sufficient.

Whenever there is a drought, flood, or rainy weather during harvest, the yield must be reduced.

Not to mention that the yield per mu is 1000 catties, and the yield per mu is 800 catties, that is something that I dare not even think about.

Hearing that the yield per mu is 800 catties, I was already startled.

Unexpectedly, if we continue to screen and cultivate seeds, we will achieve a breakthrough in yield of thousands of kilograms per mu. Wouldn't this be shocking?

What's even better is that sweet potatoes don't pick up land, and they are drought tolerant.

Good drought tolerance!

This year, there is a shortage of drought-tolerant crops.

Whether it is rice or wheat, water is inseparable.

During spring ploughing, there were countless fights over the water source, which were staged every year.

Emperor Wen De was so excited, Quick, get some sweet potatoes into the palace. I want to taste the taste of sweet potatoes myself.

Chang En couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu said simply, There are still two baskets of sweet potatoes in the palace. This thing is good for storage.

Chang En was overjoyed, and quickly sent someone to the palace to bring two baskets of sweet potatoes.

Emperor Wen De was so excited that he ignored his image and waved his hands in the air.

I really want to yell.

What is the concept of thousand jin per mu?

This means that in the event of a famine, there is no need to worry about the victims going hungry.

What is a bloated stomach, the most important thing is to be able to fill the stomach.

After being excited for a while, Emperor Wende finally calmed down, Can sweet potatoes really yield thousands of kilograms per mu?

Gu Jiu said: Sweet potato seeds entered the Great Week because of sea trade. Initially, they were only planted in a few places along the coast, and the locals did not pay much attention to them.

Therefore, it has not been promoted for many years. A few years ago, my daughter-in-law sent people to buy a farm in the south, and by coincidence, she discovered the sweet potato crop.

As soon as I heard that the yield is high and the drought tolerance does not take up land, my daughter-in-law was moved. So spend a lot of money asking people to cultivate seeds.

It took a lot of money and many years to finally cultivate sweet potato seeds that can be planted in the north. Last year, I had a small test. This year, I planted a few acres of land and weighed it. The highest yield per mu was 800 catties, and the lowest was 600 catties. However, it has not reached the output of the south side.

The daughter-in-law thought that if she cultivated for a few more years and screened out better seeds, she should be able to easily break through the thousand jins per mu like in the south.

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of the Household, said excitedly: Mrs. Zhao's actions have merits in the present and future generations. Thousands of people will remember your merits.

Gu Jiu rarely smiled shyly, Master Zhao is wrong. I originally just wanted to promote the breeding industry. It doesn't take up land to grow sweet potatoes, so it is very suitable to feed poultry and livestock. Raising some poultry and livestock can also increase the income of the villagers.

Master Zhao nodded again and again, Mrs. Zhao is devoted to the people, and this official is ashamed.

After speaking, he actually bowed to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu didn't dare to accept his courtesy, so he hurriedly avoided it.

Hahaha……

Emperor Wende laughed out loud, What is auspiciousness, this is auspiciousness.

Master Zhao quickly flattered, Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty. There are sweet potatoes with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, this is a good omen in the prosperous world!

Emperor Wende laughed again, and it could be seen that he was really excited.

He said to Gu Jiu, It's a mistake that you didn't report such a major event as soon as possible. But it is a great achievement for you to cultivate and promote the sweet potato crop.

My daughter-in-law thanks my father for his innocence.

Oh my god, companionship is like companionship with a tiger, as expected.

Emperor Wende said: Next, the important task of cultivating and selecting seeds will be taken over by the Ministry of Housing and the Shaofu. You don't have to worry about this, eldest daughter-in-law. Don't worry, I won't be greedy for your credit.

My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to be greedy for merit.

It's unfair if you don't reward your merits. I'm not that stingy. Just wait, as long as the sweet potatoes are as you said, and can produce 800 catties per mu, I will definitely reward you heavily.

Crops that yield thousands of pounds per mu are much more important than commercial taxes.

People take food as their heaven, and they will not rebel when they are full.
