Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't have much interest in Dongchang's ability.

It's not that he was harsh to Xiao Jing.

It's because at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes have already started to have stars.

A new staple food?

In the warm pavilion, the officials were already boiling, and they all discussed in low voices: "Is it the same as rice and wheat?"

"If this is the case, it is really my great fortune."

Liu Jian even looked flushed, not to mention how excited and happy he was.

This Tuntian Thousand Households Institute has only been established for a long time, and one result after another has emerged.

Think about it, if the people in the world have another staple food, and the conditions required for each staple food are different. Adding a new staple food, maybe it can adapt to different environments. Even if the yield per mu is not as good as that of rice and wheat, it can still benefit many people.

The imperial court never disliked too much staple food.

Liu Jian's face became more and more joyful, and he had to agree that this Fang Jifan was really extraordinary.

He looked at Emperor Hongzhi, and was about to say something. Suddenly, a subconscious question popped up in his mind, so he quickly looked at Xiao Jing and said, "How much is the yield per mu?"

Such an important issue, unexpectedly not thinking of it in the first place, is simply a dereliction of duty by the chief minister of the dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were already bright, and this was what he valued most, so he stared at Xiao Jing firmly.

Xiao Jing was taken aback, but smiled wryly: "This... I don't know yet."

"What kind of field is this crop suitable for? Is it a dry field or a paddy field? Is it cold-resistant or drought-tolerant? How much water is needed for irrigation?"

Xie Qian asked sharply.

"..."

Xiao Jing was a little confused.

Only at this time did he realize that it was a bit early for him to report, as if... he didn't find out anything clearly.

In fact, I don’t blame him. He entered the palace to serve people since he was a child, and he has never seen how crops grow from the ground in his life. He thinks that knowing that it is the staple food is enough. How could he think that he would come again and ask three questions.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a hurry, and he didn't have the time to take care of Xiao Jing's feelings at this time, so he couldn't help but said: "Dangtang East Police Factory, why don't you ask three questions?"

Xiao Jing wanted to die, but he really couldn't answer at all, so... he could only red-eyed, kowtowed and said: "I will die for my servant."

But the monarchs and ministers in the Nuan Pavilion don't care whether he will die or not.

Emperor Hongzhi was like an ant in a hot pot. At this moment, he remembered something and asked again: "How many times a year are these potatoes cooked?"

"..." Xiao Jing blushed, he felt that he must have owed Fang Jifan a lot of money in his previous life, since he was born Fan, He Shengjing.

Xiao Jing wanted to cry but had no tears. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to lie, so he could only shake his head.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but wanted to take a picture, so he stared at Xiao Jing again: "Then... what is the shape of this thing?"

"..."

Emperor Hongzhi stood up from the imperial chair angrily, as if he was going crazy.

The staple food, it turned out... I couldn't understand anything.

He couldn't help being annoyed, wishing to know the truth of everything in the next second.

But Emperor Hongzhi became more anxious and angrier: "Is this how Dongchang works?"

"Your servant..." Xiao Jing said with a bitter face, "Your servant has been serving His Majesty, but in fact... I don't know about farming."

"You don't know, and neither does the whole Dongchang?" Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth with a cold face.

It doesn't work if you don't get annoyed.

A very hungry person smells the smell of meat but doesn't know where the meat is?

Xiao Jing really wanted to cry, and said pitifully: "People in Dongchang are too busy to do things, slaves and maids are duty-bound, slaves and maids... must be tidy."

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips, too lazy to pursue further.

On the contrary, Xie Qian was already impatient and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this is a big matter, or else, I should go and have a look in person."

Yes, staple food.

In the past, when Fang Jifan said sweet potatoes, everyone still didn't believe it.

But now, a new staple food has been released, and with the lessons learned from the past, everyone really believes it.

What is the staple food like? I'm really worried if I don't see it.

"The minister is the chief assistant, it is better for the minister to go." Liu Jian thought for a while, and volunteered.

In fact, he couldn't wait any longer, instead of worrying about it here, he might as well go and see it with his own eyes.

"Liu Gong and Xie Gong are old." Shen Wen's eyes rolled, but he was tempted.

If this staple food is true, then what happened today will surely be famous through the ages. Whoever goes first for such a good thing will definitely be famous in history, for example, "Shen Wen, a scholar studying in the Imperial Academy, went to Xishan to view new food ', Shen Wen was excited when he thought of leaving a name for himself!

Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie, you will definitely write a special book in the history books anyway, but the lower officials are different, and the future fate of the lower officials is still uncertain. You have to find a place first and leave a name first.

Wang Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, were also moved, and were about to say something.

At this time, someone said: "Food is the foundation of the country. This is the duty of the Ministry of Households. The minister is also the Minister of the Ministry of Households. You should go and have a look."

The one who spoke was naturally Li Dongyang, a scholar of the cabinet and concurrently the secretary of the household department.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers, but he waved his hand proudly, and said grandly: "Go together! Let's drive."

This time, it finally stopped.

In fact, the ministers don't like the emperor wandering around, just like Emperor Hongzhi secretly took the prince out for a night tour, they have to hide it, because they are afraid of impeachment by the Six Divisions of the Censor.

Since Qingliu would make trouble, under normal circumstances, veteran officials like Liu Jian would try their best to dissuade the emperor from leaving the palace. After all, although they are not Qingliu, they are also afraid that others will say that they have no character and let the emperor mess around. When Emperor Chenghua was there, the cabinet did not dare to stop the emperor messing around. As a result, these cabinet ministers have been laughed at until now , What is the paper paste Sange Lao, what is the clay sculpture Liu Shangshu, the chief assistant Wan'an, it is said that he offered some kind of indescribable medicine to the Chenghua Emperor, so it was called "Xi Diao Xianggong" at that time, and Liu Ji, a cabinet scholar , nicknamed 'Liu Cotton', Cotton is not afraid of bullets, it's nothing more than saying that he has a thick skin.

This scholar's mouth is the most vicious, and he really ridiculed the Chenghua cabinet to the point where it's hard to speak.

Up to now, there are still many scholars in the folk who play the role of jokers, fabricating all kinds of jokes about the ashes of the paper-pasted elders and clay sculpture ministers, and about their incompetence in some aspects, and spread them everywhere.

Finally, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, the atmosphere improved, and Liu Jian and others have always been respected. They accepted the lessons of Wan An, Liu Ji and other predecessors, and paid great attention to their own image. Therefore, many times, they would show their character and persuade them. The emperor shouldn't do this or that, although Emperor Hongzhi knew well about their embarrassment, and occasionally let them explain something to the scholars, so he didn't say a word.

But today... His Majesty said that he was going to leave the palace, but surprisingly, no one said a word.

Everyone is unanimously pretending to be stupid, let's not take this as an example.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Send your car, Xiao Banban, you go and prepare..."

"Your Majesty...Xiao Jing remembered something, and immediately said: "I heard that at Xishan, today is an auspicious time, and potatoes will be harvested. "

"Auspicious time?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Jing quickly reminded: "There are still nearly two hours."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt urgent, and waited for the palace to toss up and down, and prepared countless feather forests, as well as Chengyu, fearing that it would be dark.

He frowned, and finally made a decision, saying: "Leave the palace in casual clothes, prepare for spies."

"The servants obey the orders."

Liu Jian and the others remained silent, as if they hadn't heard anything.

It is almost conceivable that the Imperial Academy, which will move upon hearing the news tomorrow, will definitely be impeached. It is inevitable that someone will impeach the emperor, and even Liu Jian, the first assistant university scholar.

But... what the heck.

The staple food.

Now everyone lacks a wing to fly to Xishan, who cares about this...

……………………

West Hills.

Up and down the western mountain today, the backbones of Yiyingqianhusuo have all gathered together.

In the dining hall, vegetables were added today. Unfortunately, in a village not far from the West Mountain, a young cattle died unfortunately. It walked peacefully, and its owner was very strong. Without crying, after getting a few taels of silver, I happily went to buy wine and drink.

As a cow, it is lucky, because on the day of walking, the weather was just right, the sun was shining, the wind was strong, and the fire was burning very vigorously. Harazi, showing the appearance of a cow grazing when it was alive.

The chef is holding a big ladle and stirring the soup constantly on the raging stove, just like the puffing and puffing of an old cow when plowing the land.

Zhu Houzhao was drooling, looking straight at the cow's body with a pair of eyes, and said a word in relief: "This is a good cow."

"Yes." Fang Jifan agreed: "Look at this body of tendon meat, it must be delicious."

Zhu Houzhao grinned, his eyes shining.

He wants to eat goulash.

It’s still early for the auspicious time, so let’s boil the cattle first. When the auspicious time arrives and the potatoes are harvested, we will celebrate in Xishan. There are more than 300 brothers on duty in Xishan Qianhu Office Well, it is natural to prepare a banquet, drink heavily, and eat meat.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky and couldn't help but said: "It seems that there is still an hour, but I can't wait any longer."

Fang Jifan comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry if you can't eat hot tofu."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "When I was in that village just now, I saw a cow. The cow seemed to be looking at... Yintang was also black. Tell me, will it be accidentally hit by a huge boulder falling from the sky tomorrow?" what about death?"

"..." Fang Jifan stroked his forehead: "Your Highness, killing live cattle is against the law!"

Zhu Houzhao licked his lips and said calmly: "What do the stones falling from the sky have to do with me?"

"..." Fang Jifan also convinced him.

But... you are a prince, you are awesome, what can you say?
