Chapter 83
Chapter 0083 The people of Ming Dynasty no longer have to go hungry!!
The rest of the people also quickly asked Li Shanchang to tell his family and then followed him out.
But they are all quite confident.
After all, the law does not blame everyone. We are all heroes of the founding of the country. Now we have made some small mistakes of officialdom. Although the person who plotted against him was Zhu Heng, who was recently favored by the emperor.
But small things are small things.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not blame himself and others too much for this.
At most, he would be reprimanded, imprisoned for a few days, and fined some salary.
After they went out, Mao Xiang withdrew his disdainful gaze and looked at Li Shanchang with admiration and said,”It’s not easy for Mr. Li to lead these people for so many years.”
Behind him were such a group of pig teammates.
Li Shanchang actually persisted until now before overturning.
Mao Xiang admired Li Shanchang very much.
Li Shanchang smiled bitterly and shook his head:”The nobles of Huaixi have been too arrogant in recent years. They need to be rectified. However, after they are deprived of their official positions, they may do extreme things. You have to be careful.”
The result is here.
Mao Xiang showed a meaningful look:”There’s no need to be afraid.”
“Um?
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, then advised:”These people are all warriors, so don’t be careless.””
“Mr. Li……”
As a result, at this time, Mao Xiang paused slightly and said meaningfully:”Do you think they can come back alive?”
Li Shanchang was shocked.
He looked at Mao Xiang in disbelief:”Is it difficult? Is it possible?”……”
He knew before that Zhu Yuanzhang would deal with these Xi Xungui.
But what he understood as destruction was simply to seize the official positions of Huaixi nobles and drive them out of the court forever.
Perhaps he could retain his title and be given some wealth.
After all, these are all meritorious officials, and there is still hard work without credit.
We can’t just kill them all, right?
This is half of the Huaixi nobles!
But now, does Zhu Yuanzhang really want Mao Xiang? But he just smiled and said:”It’s late at night.””
“Don’t disturb Mr. Li before he goes to bed.”
“There are still many things to be busy with tomorrow.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door, escorting the Huaixi nobles out of the Li Mansion.
Li Shanchang watched the group of people walking into the thick night, standing there in a daze.
The next day.
Mao Shi. It was summer, the sun was rising in the east, and the sky and the earth were dawning.
As usual, the officials gathered outside the palace gate to attend the morning meeting.
However, when the time came, the palace gate was still not open.
They were confused, but a eunuch hurriedly came to report that his Majesty was going to offer sacrifices to the Sheji Altar today, and ordered the ministers to go to the Sheji Altar to wait.
He quickly turned around and headed to the Sheji Altar.
The Sheji Altar was located ten miles away from the palace. It would be disrespectful to go to the altar by car. By the time the ministers arrived on foot, they were already sweating.
They rested for a while, but they were refreshed, but they only saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing there on the high altar, overlooking the crowd. Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing twelve crowns and twelve chapters of clothing. A solemn and majestic aura spread out.
Standing in front of the solemn Sheji Altar, he seemed to be the center of the world.
The ministers did not dare to look at him, and they quickly knelt down and shouted long live.
“No courtesy, everyone.” Get in position.”
The ministers did not dare to neglect.
They quickly stood in their respective positions according to their official positions.
But at this time, everyone became more and more confused about this scene.
Ru Taisu also stood next to Li Shanchang and asked in confusion:”Li Shanchang Sir, where did your majesty do this?”
Li Shanchang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, but his face was complicated, and he shook his head gently.
Ru Taisu was puzzled, so he turned to look at Liu Bowen again:”Mr. Liu, what do you think?”
However, at this moment, Liu Bowen didn’t seem to hear it, and just looked around thoughtfully.
“Liu Gong? Liu Gong?
Liu Bowen came back to his senses, but frowned:”Don’t ask so many questions.””
“oh?
Ru Taisu was stunned for a moment and smiled helplessly:”Liu Gong can’t trust me.”.”
“I don’t know what it is.
When Liu Bowen said this, he paused:”But it should be a major event that shocked the government and the public.”
“That is……”
Ru Taisu was stunned for a moment.
Liu Bowen said calmly:”Go and see for yourself, what is different today from usual?””
“Um?
Ru Taisu then looked around and suddenly looked surprised:”What’s going on? Not all the distinguished people from Huaixi are here?””
It’s more than just that they haven’t arrived!
But they only saw that almost half of Huaixi’s high-ranking officials didn’t come!
Do you dare to come to participate in the sacrifice?
It’s a life-threatening situation!
They can’t make such a low-level mistake!
And look at it again.
Ru Taisu found that Hu Weiyong also had a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
Obviously, as the current leader of Huaixi Xungui, he didn’t know what was going on.
“Something happened to the Huaixi people?”
Ru Taisu was suddenly shocked. Any disturbance in the court might turn into a huge wave!
This situation is not right today!
“Don’t ask so many questions.”
At this moment, Liu Bowen’s voice pulled him back. He stared at the figure of Zhu Yuanzhang on the altar and said in a deep voice:”Your Majesty will tell you the answer soon.”
Ru Taisu quickly calmed down, not daring to say anything more, but his face changed for a while.
At this time,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in the center of the sacrificial altar, saw the ministers below standing in their respective positions in an orderly manner.
He was slowly He slowly said,”I’m going to make a sudden sacrifice today, thank you all for your hard work.”
The ministers below quickly said they did not dare.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also continued:”The stability of the country will ensure the stability of the country.”
“The reason why we come here to offer sacrifices is because something happened in the Ming Dynasty that is auspicious for the stability of the country!”
“Bring up the auspicious sign and show it to all the ministers!”
At this moment, everyone noticed that
Zhu Biao, who was standing on the side of the altar of sacrifice, was actually holding a tray, which was covered with a layer of royal yellow silk.
In the doubtful eyes of the officials,
Zhu Biao stepped forward. With one step, he opened up Huang Ling and found a potato the size of an adult’s fist.
The officials looked at each other in confusion, and Li Shanchang looked at the potato with a complicated expression. Today, Shi Dou wants to kill half of the Huaixi nobles. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the officials and said solemnly:”This thing is called potato.
”
”
“It is a new food that appeared in the Ming Dynasty.”
New food?
When the ministers heard this, they were shocked, and everyone had expressions on their faces.
“Weichen congratulates on taking the position!”
“There is auspiciousness in the Ming Dynasty, so we should celebrate it!”
Ru Taisu, who has always been rigid, was the first to stand up at this moment, and stepped forward to congratulate him with a look of joy on his face.
The rest of the ministers also had a look of joy on their faces.
China built its country on agriculture, and agriculture is its main body!
New grains have been discovered , is naturally a national event!
New crops have not appeared in China for many years, and a new crop has been born just a dozen years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
This can definitely be called auspicious!
Even if the yield of this new crop is not high, the planting conditions are harsh. , but it can also be used to prove that the Ming Dynasty is favored by God!
There is no better country than the Ming Dynasty!
This sentence has been strongly proved after the appearance of the potato!
The appearance of the potato has huge political significance!
“I wonder what the potato yield is?”
Liu Bowen rarely spoke, and he looked at the potato with curiosity on his face.
After saying this, the officials suddenly realized that they only focused on the political significance of the potato, but ignored its practical significance.
As food, naturally Yield is the most important thing, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn and said solemnly:”The yield of potatoes is three thousand kilograms per mu!””
Quiet.
As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the venue fell into absolute silence.
Only the Ming Dynasty dragon flag and the sound of hunting blown by the wind could be heard.
Everyone stared at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.
“Sir, how many pounds would you say?”
Ru Taisu was the first to break the silence. He asked with a look of shock on his face.
“Three thousand pounds! When Zhu
Yuanzhang said this, he paused, smiled and said:”To be precise, it is three thousand to four thousand kilograms.””
The words fell.
There was silence among the ministers again.
After a while,
Hu Weiyong stood up and said with a look of joy on his face:”I congratulate you on your ascendance. With this auspiciousness, the Ming Dynasty will be passed down for thousands of years!”
Then one by one the ministers stood up and congratulated happily.
“This is because God was aware of His Majesty’s merits and gave this divine object to you.”
“I congratulate Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty is more powerful than Yao and Shun! The Ming Dynasty will last forever!”
“Do you still want to lose face?!”
But in the midst of the congratulations,
Ru Taisu shouted loudly, looked at everyone with an angry face and said:”You are the ministers, is this how you confuse the king?”
“Most of you are from farmers, and you should know that there is no place in the world where one acre can produce three thousand kilograms of grain!”
“If a monarch commits a crime, his ministers will stab him in the face!”
“It’s fine if you don’t give me advice, how dare you flatter me!”
“Did Ming Dynasty support you group of traitors?”
After the words fell, the congratulatory ministers suddenly looked embarrassed, but also blushed. They didn’t know what to say.
Of course everyone didn’t believe it.
Only a ghost can believe that three thousand kilograms of grain per mu can be believed!
But this is not the case in Shejitan. , Sacrifice to Sheji?
Exaggerate as much as possible, everyone just follow Zhu Yuanzhang, only Ru Taisu
, a stinky stone, can be more serious! This Ru Taisu advises regardless of the occasion…
At this time, Hu Weiyong is He looked at Ru Taisu coldly and said:”These are your majesty’s golden words, but Ru Shangshu doesn’t believe it?”
“Although he is a low-ranking official, he is not very talented, but as the Minister of Household Affairs, he knows important things!
Ru Taisu said angrily:”Since ancient times, when new crops are first discovered, their yields are extremely low!””
“During the Qin and Han dynasties, the wheat yield per mu was only over 100 kilograms!”
“By the Tang Dynasty, the wheat yield per mu had reached just over 200 kilograms.”
“To this day, the yield of wheat is only more than 300 kilograms per mu!”
“This is because for hundreds of years, farmers have selected the plumpest grains from the harvested wheat and planted them as seeds.”
“After so many years of continuous improvement, we have today’s wheat seeds!”
“Coupled with the development of farming technology for thousands of years, wheat has only reached a level of more than 300 kilograms per mu!”
“Now a new crop has just been discovered, and its yield per mu can reach more than 3,000 kilograms? Ru Taisu said coldly:”This is because Your Majesty is blessed by God!”
“His Majesty!”
At this point, Ru Taisu said angrily:”Although auspiciousness is good, it cannot be a great success!”
“If the people believed it and went to plant these potatoes, only to find that the yield per acre was extremely low, it would eventually lead to a catastrophe!”
“As for the ministers, they were all afraid of His Majesty’s power, so they all offered flattery and did not dare to speak out.”
“Please give your Majesty a clear warning!”
At this moment, he showed a direct remonstrance without fear of death. He knelt there, raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely.
“oh? At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the altar of agriculture and grain, looked at this scene with great interest and said,”You have never seen these potatoes before. How do you know that we are just trying to make a big success and fabricate the yield!”
Ru Taisu gritted his teeth and said,”It’s just because Wei Chen has never seen it before, that’s why it seems strange!””
“A new crop that can produce more than three thousand kilograms per mu without artificial cultivation should have grown all over the world like weeds. Why has Wei Chen never seen it before?”
“He is indeed the Minister of the Ministry of Finance that we have chosen.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.
At this moment,
Ru Taisu kowtowed heavily and said earnestly:”It is a good thing to discover new crops, but I ask your Majesty to announce the true yield. , must not be overjoyed. But
Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but looked at Ru Taisu with increasing admiration:”Ru Aiqing has the style of Wei Zheng.””
Suddenly something moved in his heart.
Isn’t Heng’er about to accept a disciple?
Ru Taisu has an upright temperament.
Maybe he can be recommended to Heng’er?
At this time, he smiled and said:”What if we didn’t lie? Ru
Taisu paused for a moment:”I don’t believe what you said.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly:”We are an emperor, but we are also from a peasant family. Farmers never joke about food. This is a matter of life and death.””
“We definitely didn’t fabricate the production volume.”
“This potato can indeed produce three thousand to four thousand kilograms per mu.”
Boom!
When these words fell, everyone was in a stir, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.
You really didn’t lie?
Everyone is not a fool. The emperor’s so-called golden words are just bullshit. Should the emperor lie to others? He will still lie to others. , but Zhu Yuanzhang’s character is to lie, whether you believe it or not, he never bothers to explain to you.
But now he says so, is it possible that he is not lying?
At this moment, Zhu Di looked at Mrs. Ru with a sneer. Su said:”This potato has been cultivated for several years, and this potato was just dug out of the ground this year!”
“If you check it out and store it yourself, you won’t go wrong!”
“If you feel that I don’t know how to count, I can take you to the fields to have a look! There is still some unfinished digging left!
Ru Taisu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Di in shock:”Is what your Highness said true?””
“What qualifications do you have to let Gu lie to you?
Zhu Di said disdainfully. Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said:”What the fourth child said is indeed true.””
“This this……”
Ru Taisu’s lips trembled for a few times, but he swallowed hard and said,”May I ask, your majesty, can this potato carry water and soil?”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,”This potato is very durable, and it can basically be grown in Ming Dynasty land.”
Ru Taisu suddenly opened his eyes wide and was silent for a moment.
Then he said ecstatically:”If so, Wei Chen, Wei Chen congratulates Your Majesty”
“Your Majesty will live for ten thousand years, and the Ming Dynasty will live for ten thousand years!”
“The people of our Ming Dynasty no longer have to go hungry!”
The rest of the officials were also shocked. They looked at the potatoes in disbelief and were stunned.
It’s really true!
This is a yield of three thousand kilograms per mu!
