Emperor Hongzhi obviously did not have much interest in the ability of the Dongchang.

This is not because he is harsh on Xiao Jing.

But because at this moment, stars began to appear in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.

A new staple food?

In the warm chalet, the ministers were already in full bloom, and they all whispered: "Like rice and wheat?"

"If this is the case, it is really a blessing for my Ming Dynasty."

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

How long has this military farm been established? One after another, one result 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. For example, there are many paddy fields in the south and rice are suitable, and there are many dry land in the north, mostly wheat is mainly used. If a new staple food is added, it may be able to adapt to different environments. Even if the yield per mu is not as good as rice and wheat, it can still benefit many people.

The court never minded that there was too much staple food.

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

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

Such an important question was not immediately thought of, it was simply a dereliction of duty by the chief minister of the dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes had already shined, which was what he valued the most, so he also stared at Xiao Jing tightly.

Xiao Jing was stunned, but smiled bitterly, "This... I don't know yet."

"What fields should this crop be adapted to? Is it dryland or paddy fields? Is it cold-resistant or drought-resistant? How much water source is needed to irrigate?"

Xie Qian shouted sternly.

“…”

Xiao Jing was a little confused.

Only then did he realize that he had come to report it a little too early, as if... he hadn't found out anything clearly.

Actually, it’s not his fault. He went to the palace to serve people since he was a child. He never saw how crops grew out of the field in his life. He thought that it was enough to know that it was staple food, but he didn’t expect that he would ask again and didn’t know.

Emperor Hongzhi was anxious and had no intention of taking care of Xiao Jing's feelings at this time. He couldn't help but say, "Why can you tell me about it when you ask me?"

Xiao Jing wanted to die, but he couldn't answer at all, so... he had to blush his eyes and kowtowed, "I will die."

But the monarchs and ministers in this warm chalet don’t care whether they die or not.

Emperor Hongzhi was like an ant in a hot pan. He remembered something again at this time and asked again: "How much cook this potato in a year?"

"…………” Xiao Jing blushed. He felt that he must have owed Fang Jifan a lot of money in his previous life. He was born in the vassal, and He Shengjing.

Xiao Jing was in tears. After thinking about it, he did not dare to lie and could only shake his head.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but pat the table, so he stared at Xiao Jing again: "So... what is the shape of this thing?"

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi stood up from the imperial chair in anger, as if he was about to be crazy.

The staple food, but as a result... I can't understand anything.

He couldn't help but be angry, wishing he could know the truth in the next second.

But Emperor Hongzhi became more and more angry: "This is how Dongchang does things?"

"I..." Xiao Jing said bitterly: "I have always served Your Majesty, but in fact... I don't know about farming."

"You don't know, nor do you know the entire East Factory?" Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth, his face was cold.

It's not okay to be angry.

A very hungry person smelled the aroma of meat, but didn't know where the meat was?

Xiao Jing really wanted to cry and said pitifully: "The people of Dongchang are in trouble, and I have to pay responsibilities. I will definitely be very careful."

Emperor Hongzhi pursed his lips and was too lazy to continue pursuing it.

However, Xie Qian was already impatient and couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important. Why don't you go and take a look in person?"

Yes, staple food.

In the past, everyone didn’t believe what Fang Jifan said about sweet potatoes.

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

What is the staple food? I can’t feel at ease if I don’t see it.

"I am the chief assistant, it's better for me to go." Liu Jian thought for a while and volunteered.

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

"Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie are old." Shen Wen's eyes rolled, and he was moved.

If the staple food is real, then what happened today will be famous for all ages. Whoever goes such a good thing must be famous in history. For example, "Shen Wen, a Hanlin scholar, delivered an edict to visit the new grain in Xishan." Shen Wen was excited when he thought of leaving a name for himself!

Mr. Liu and Mr. Xie, you will definitely write a lot in history books anyway, but the officials are different. The future circumstances of the officials are still unsure. You have to find a place first and leave a name first.

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

At this moment, someone said: "Greater is the foundation of the country, and this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue. I am also the Minister of Revenue. I should go and take a look."

The person who spoke was Li Dongyang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Revenue.

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

This finally calmed down.

In fact, the ministers did not like the emperor wandering around, just like Emperor Hongzhi secretly took the prince out for a night trip, they had to hide it because they were afraid that the Sixth Censor's Censor would be impeached.

Since the Qingliu people would make trouble, under normal circumstances, old ministers like Liu Jian often tried their best to dissuade the emperor from leaving the palace. After all, although they were not Qingliu, they were afraid that others would say they had no character and let the emperor make trouble. When Emperor Chenghua was there, the cabinet did not dare to stop the emperor from making trouble. As a result, these cabinet ministers have been joked until now, such as the three cabinet masters, the six clay sculptures, and the chief minister Wan'an, who is said to have given some indescribable medicine to the Emperor Chenghua, and he is sometimes called "Huangdiao Gong". The cabinet minister Liu Ji, nicknamed "Liu Mianhua". Those who are cotton are not afraid of bullets, but simply say that he is thick-skinned.

The most vicious mouth of this scholar is really ridiculed by Chenghua Cabinet to an unspeakable point.

Until now, many scholars among the people have played the role of jokesters, fabricating various pieces of paper-pasteed pawns and clay-sculpting clerks, and some incompetent jokes, which are sung everywhere.

Finally, when the Hongzhi Dynasty was in good condition, Liu Jian and others were always respected. They accepted the lessons of their ancestors such as Wan'an and Liu Ji, and paid great attention to their image. Therefore, they often showed their character and advised the emperor not to do this or that. Although Emperor Hongzhi knew it well and knew their difficulties, they occasionally let them explain to the scholars, so they did not say anything.

But today... His Majesty said he was going to leave the palace, but it was surprising that no one said anything.

Everyone is pretending to be stupid, let’s not take the example.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Prepare, companion Xiao, go and prepare..."

"Your Majesty... Xiao Jing remembered something and said immediately: "I heard that the West Mountain is about to be harvested at the auspicious time today."

"Auspicious time?" Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows.

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

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt anxious. After the palace was tossing and preparing countless feather forests and carriages, it was probably dark.

He frowned and finally made a decision, saying, "Go out of the palace in casual clothes and prepare more spies."

"Sister obeys the order."

Liu Jian and others still kept silent, as if they had heard nothing.

It is almost imagined that Hanlin, who is moved tomorrow, will definitely report impeachment. Some people will impeach the emperor, and some will even impeach Liu Jian, the chief minister.

But...whatever.

Staple food.

Now everyone is missing a wing and flew to the west, who cares about this...

………………………………………

West Mountain.

Today, all the backbone of thousands of households gathered together along the West Mountain.

I added vegetables today in the canteen. Unfortunately, in a village not far from the west mountain, a strong ox was unfortunately dead. It left peacefully. The owner was very strong and did not cry. After getting a few taels of silver, he happily went to buy wine and drink.

As a cow, it is lucky because on the day of his journey, the sky was just right, the sun was shining, the wind was strong, and the fire was burning very strong. People surrounded the fire, as if they were performing some kind of sacrificial activities, drooling one by one, showing the way the cows ate grass during their lifetime.

The chef held a big spoon and kept stirring the soup on the big stove under the raging fire, just like the slap of work when an old ox plows the land.

Zhu Houzhao drooled, staring at the cow's corpse with her eyes straight, and said with relief: "This is a good cow."

"Yes." Fang Jifan agreed: "Look at this body of tendon flesh, it must be very fragrant."

Zhu Houzhao grinned and her eyes shone.

He wants to eat potato beef.

It is still early to the auspicious time, so I should boil the cows first. When the auspicious time comes, after collecting the potatoes, I will celebrate the merits in Xishan. There are more than 300 brothers on duty in Xishan, so I naturally have to prepare a banquet, drink big gulp, and eat meat in big gulp.

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

Fang Jifan comforted him and said, "Your Highness, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't worry."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said, "When I was in that farm just now, I saw a cow. The cow seemed to look at it... Yintang was also black. Do you think it would accidentally be killed by a huge rock falling from the sky tomorrow?"

"..." Fang Jifan touched his forehead: "Your Highness, killing a live cow is illegal!"

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

"..." Fang Jifan was convinced by him.

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

…………

Finally, I finished the fifth update today. I was so tired. I went to bed first. I got up at 5 o'clock tomorrow and wrote. I tried to send you the first update as early as possible! Everyone should go to bed earlier and continue tomorrow!
Chapter completed!
