Chapter 772 Why is it sanctified?
After looking around at the dusk, Gou'er went to Kunning Palace to inform Empress Xu, and a little eunuch stood aside instead of Gou'er. Of course, the so-called little eunuch is actually relative to Gou'er.
In fact, he is also a person with outstanding status among eunuchs.
Of course, as long as it is not a major prison, not to mention the status and status of the top, in front of the "Eight Tigers of Yongle" eunuchs like Gou'er, Li Qian, Zheng He, and Yi Shiha, they will always be small eunuchs.
He smiled at the eunuch and said, "If you are a good man, go to the palace to find a guard to bring some things in."
In the Ganqing Hall, how could the ministers bring unknown objects at will?
Therefore, the things prepared in advance at dusk were handed over to the security guards in front of the hall before entering the Ganqing Hall to attend the small court meeting, so that they could take care of them.
The eunuch glanced at Zhu Di and did not move.
Not at ease.
Once he left again, only the palace officials Huang Daren and a few palace maids who had returned from outside the pass were left. If they were bribed by the Tatars at dusk, who would do something, who could stop them?
Zhu Di laughed and signaled the eunuch to get it.
The eunuch went hurriedly.
I ran away and wanted to come back as soon as possible. In this regard, this eunuch was very qualified.
Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled and said, "What is it that makes you so serious? It's unusual. Don't tell me that it's the beauty you brought back from outside the pass. I won't eat that."
Eat too.
But if you eat it, it won't do anything good.
At dusk, the righteousness was awe-inspiring, "Of course I know that Your Majesty is not that kind of person. How could you use such a common thing to defile Your Majesty's character in the spring and snow."
The beauty outside the pass brought one back.
Aruwenchas.
But it's mine.
Don’t say you don’t want it, you won’t give it to me even if you want to steal it.
Zhu Di happily said when he heard this: "You know your appearance."
This flattery makes it comfortable.
Zhu Di has read books, but not much. In the past, he was born and died on the battlefield with his cousin Li Wenzhong. He is considered an amateur. In fact, he likes to be called Yangchun Baixue, which is similar to the legend.
So, it’s not that there are not many people flattering the Yonglechao, but that they haven’t gotten the idea.
A moment later, the eunuch came in with a bamboo basket that had undergone numerous inspections. There were several red-skinned crops covered with needle holes, which were stained with mud chips and a faint smell of mud.
Zhu Di looked at the strange thing in the bamboo basket, "Is this what you planted from the experimental field in the East Suburbs? Why haven't you seen anything before? I brought it back from the West?"
Xun smiled and said, "This thing is called sweet potato, but I plan to de-foreign it. According to the characteristic of red skin, it is called sweet potato. What does Your Majesty think of this name?"
Zhu Di frowned and said, "Speak the key points."
By the way, de-foreignization, what does this statement mean?
No questions asked.
After thinking about it, she sat down again and said, "About the incident of Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, leading the Beizhen Fushi Department to the east suburbs of the city to experiment with the fields, Wei Chen was very surprised and frightened when he learned about it. Fortunately, he later learned that only the loss was the pepper field. The loss was not too great. Of course, it was definitely not small. Although Your Majesty was not easy to ask Ji Gang for this matter, I will sooner or later find Ji Gang to make an explanation-"
Zhu Di waved his hand, "What else do you want to say? Ji Gang did nothing wrong."
It's not good to hold this matter accountable.
Otherwise, what else will the Jinyiwei do in the future? After all, Ji Gang is loyal to this matter. In a sense, Zhu Di actually appreciates Ji Gang very much.
Anything that involves the Emperor's affairs is better to kill by mistake than let go!
When I saw it at dusk, I can do it. It seems that if I want to kill Ji Gang, I have to find another excuse to find a reason. Just experimenting with Tian is impossible to achieve my goal.
Don't worry.
One of the goals is to clean up the discipline and the real purpose today is not to be a discipline and the rules.
The little one cannot bear to make a big plan.
"About the experimental field in the east suburbs of Chengdong, I need to explain one thing. So far, five crops have been planted in the experimental field in the east suburbs of Chengdong, most of which are brought back from the West, including chili peppers, corn, peanuts, and the crop in front of you. Among them, the planting of chili peppers has matured, and the corn is still in the experimental stage. The crop placed in front of Your Majesty, which I named sweet potato, has also mastered the perfect and mature planting methods in the experimental field."
Zhu Di nodded, "All of them eat hot pot?"
If this is true, it would be too disappointing. You occupy such a large piece of fertile land at dusk, but it ends up just for hot pot or for your business. As a king, Zhu Di would think that twilight lacks a pattern.
Huang Tun smiled and said, "It can be said that after all, these things can be eaten with hot pot except peanuts."
Zhu Di shook his head secretly.
But the dusk continued: "It is true that this experimental field does have Weichen's business plans. For example, after cultivating chili peppers, Weichen will start to open hot pot restaurants in Yingtian and surrounding important towns and even Shuntian. Once it is popularized among the people, it will be a very profitable dietary industry. Not only that, but also use chili peppers to make bean paste, so that the cooking industry of a faction will be more perfect."
When the iron pot appears, there will be stir-frying.
However, because oil was invented before the Tang Dynasty, before the Southern Song Dynasty, vegetables were actually steamed, boiled and stewed. After the Northern Song Dynasty, cooking had already appeared.
Of course, most people can't afford it.
Because there is no oil.
Frying dishes that don’t have enough oil is a stir-frying dish that has no soul.
Zhu Di was not interested in these things and asked, "So, what do you call this sweet potato? Is it for your diet business?"
At dusk, he shook his head, "Tonight's hot pot, I will prepare this sweet potato for Your Majesty. Then your Majesty will know what significance it has to Your Majesty's Ming Dynasty."
He also said: "But when it comes to its significance, I have a question to ask Your Majesty. With the advancement of various measures of the Medical Reform Department, according to the information from the Ministry of Revenue, the population of our Ming Dynasty has soared in the past or two years, and this population will continue to expand with the subsequent measures of the Medical Reform Department. I would like to ask Your Majesty, have you ever thought of a solution to food and clothing for this newly added population?"
With a large population, eating is a problem.
If you can't eat enough... the dynasty will collapse.
Haven't you seen that the richest Song Dynasty in all dynasties have many folk uprisings. The Song Dynasty has lasted for three hundred years, and the peasant uprisings basically once every one or two years.
Why?
It is because although the Song Dynasty was rich, the people had no money and could not eat enough!
Therefore, not all time travelers can live a happy life. First of all, you have to travel to wealthy families, such as dusk... to have hope of your continued development. If you travel to a landless farmer and a long-term worker's home, and want to counterattack, you must first have enough to eat and break the shackles of the class before you can read books. This is almost a copy of the hell mode.
It should be noted that in feudal dynasties, it is difficult to break the shackles of class.
Zhu Di sighed, "I am also worried about this."
The population has increased, and the current problems are not yet prominent, but sooner or later it has become the main contradiction in society. Zhu Di thought a lot about how to solve the food problem, but there is no way to cure the root cause.
This crisis is coming sooner or later.
If this crisis cannot be solved, let alone the far-reaching Han and Tang dynasties, whether we can save the foundation that my father has left is a problem.
So Zhu Di sometimes wondered if the Medical Reform Department had made the wrong move.
Dusk smiled and pointed at the sweet potato, "Weichen had already prepared before promoting the Medical Reform Department. Weichen's answer is it, and there is also a corn that explores the cultivation methods of the Eastern Suburbs experimental fields."
Zhu Di was surprised, "It?!"
He is not very good-looking.
Just this thing can solve the problem of food that makes you almost unable to sleep?
Huang Tun smiled and said, "That's right, it is it. Using it with corn and rice as a staple food can solve the food crisis brought about by the surge in population. Of course, this can only solve the crisis. If you want to make the millions of people of the Ming Dynasty who have soared the population, you have more to do in agriculture, such as increasing rice yields, optimizing the inherent model of growing grain in various places, and improving the economy, expanding crop categories, and reforming the land - land reform involves too much benefits and is not suitable for operation at present, so the answer at the moment is really the only ones that are sweet potatoes and corn."
Land reform has to wait a little longer.
After you have absolute authority and absolute strength, you must reform your disciples in one step and cut off the landlord class. Otherwise, the land reform will never achieve the ideal effect. Cutting off the landlord class will definitely be a earth-shaking reform for the feudal dynasty, even surpassing the change of dynasty.
This step will be the most difficult step that will be comparable to Zhu Di's last battle in his time travel.
It is far beyond the attempt to expand territory such as the expedition to the northern desert.
And it is very likely that it will not be able to be done, so you can only settle for the second best and implement Zhang Juzheng's one-whip method.
but--
No matter how difficult it is, I will try to do it at dusk. This is a step that will allow the Ming Dynasty to move towards a true empire of the sun never set, and it is a reform that must be experienced in the long-term stability of the country.
