Liu Shanhe led Zhu Xu and came to a large yard with a slight break.

This yard was steaming everywhere. Before we could enter, a wave of heat came, and it was covered in white.

Liu Shanhe hurriedly protected Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, it's too hot here. Let's stand outside and take a look. We will introduce it to you."

Zhu Xu felt the heat wave, squinted his eyes and looked inside with the heat.

There are seven or eight big houses here, all of which are filled with hot air. From time to time, there are people coming and going, very busy, and occasionally there are even drinks and shouts.

Zhu Xu walked forward a few steps and wanted to see inside clearly, but then a wave of heat came, making his face burn and hot, and he had to retreat.

Liu Shanhe was startled and said, "Your Majesty, let's watch it from afar. It's been so hot here that people have been so hot. It's bad luck. You really can't get over..."

Zhu Xu frowned and said, "I've tried so much that I'm afraid of someone. Are you thinking of other ways to cool down? Will you still be able to do it now?"

Liu Shanhe hurriedly said, "I thought about it. The roof is breathable. People inside can come out at any time. There is also cold water inside, which will not be so hot. The emperor is kind. They must know that the emperor cares about them and will definitely feel the inner world..."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and knew that he couldn't get in today, so he said, "Let's talk about it."

When Liu Shanhe heard this, he immediately said, "Yes. The steam room is under the charge of the eunuch Wang Yonglian, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor. He already has 16 branches, including the home in the capital, ten families in Shaanxi, three families in Sichuan, and two families in Guizhou. He is already planning to open ten more semicolons this year to strive to spread throughout the Ming Dynasty within three years..."

Zhu Xu nodded as he heard this. The so-called steaming room was his attempt to explore sweet potato disaster relief. It has been many years.

Seeing Zhu Xu listening carefully, Liu Shanhe said more and more carefully, "Currently, the food in the steaming room comes to help, mainly sweet potatoes and flour, Jiuyi matches, the steamed buns are pleasant to smell, smooth in the mouth, and they also carry hunger. According to the rewards from Shaanxi and West, adult men, eating five a day, basically won't be hungry, and they are also powerful in doing things..."

Zhu Xu felt the heat wave and said, "Is the source of sweet potatoes stable now?"

Liu Shanhedao: "Most of them come from Liaodong. They produce a lot of them, and there is also Guomao Temple. In addition to direct disaster relief, the sweet potatoes in Guomao Temple will also be sold out. The prices are very low, so we still have a lot of profits..."

"How many can I make a day?" Zhu Xu asked. This steam room is not only used for disaster relief, but also to curb prices and balance the economic environment in various places.

Liu Shanhe obviously did his homework and immediately said: "When you go back to the emperor, there are more than 20,000 people in the capital every day. All small vendors in the capital come here to purchase goods, and sometimes more..."

"All other places?" Zhu Xu said.

Liu Shanhedao: "The situation reported from various places is expected to exceed 100,000 per day, and the number of disaster victims will be provided for more than 50,000..."

Zhu Xu raised his hands behind his back and thought silently.

Liu Shanhe said it was '50,000 people', but in fact it was a finished product. Most of the sweet potatoes were used directly and were becoming more and more important for disaster relief. There was no one in the Ming Dynasty who did not pay attention to it. Whether in Liaodong or Bei'annan, most of them were planting sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes was high and had many uses, and it was indispensable to the court, the local area, and the people.

However, Zhu Xu and the cabinet had no idea about the specific output and planting area of ​​sweet potatoes, nor did they have specific statistics.

Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "I heard that many people follow you to do it?"

Liu Shanhe was stunned and looked at Zhu Xu with some caution, saying, "Yes, Weichen has conducted a survey. There are about dozens of companies, which are larger than us. The price is higher than ours, but it is much lower than white flour, so it is very popular. No matter how big or small the households buy it... Emperor, is it, Weichen go to suppress it..."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said lightly: "I didn't expect you to make money. I want to make this big so that the victims across the country will not starve to death. In addition, suppress illegal businessmen and stabilize prices, can you understand what I mean?"

Whether Liu Shanhe really understands or fakely, he said with a clear expression: "Yes! I understand! I will definitely grow the steam room so that more victims will no longer be hungry, and make my Ming Dynasty prices stable!"

Zhu Xu looked at Liu Shanhe. This flatterer was so smooth that he didn't know how things would be done. He thought in his mind that he had to go back and let the cabinet make a plan and keep an eye on it.

Zhu Xu's eyes turned back, looking at the steaming steam room, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Disaster relief is not a way, and all means cannot be ignored. The objection to the Ming Dynasty is not only now. If it can be popularized, the Ming Dynasty may not be short of food!

A Ming Dynasty that does not lack food will be extremely terrifying in this era!

Zhu Xu glanced at him a few more times and said, "Let's go, take a look elsewhere."

"Yes, please come here to the emperor." Liu Shanhe looked very excited and did not notice Zhu Xu's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, this is a soap shop. The sales of this soap are not very good, but the people like it very much. They bought tens of thousands of yuan at one go, and the profit is quite considerable..."

"Your Majesty, this is a spice shop. The Westerners ordered 100,000 taels in one go..."

"Your Majesty, this is a canned shop. The Mongolians ordered a lot, and the profit was hundreds of thousands of taels..."

Zhu Xu nodded gently all the way, stopped from time to time, listened to the workers inside, and then walked towards the next one.

These are all "novel" things and are very important in all aspects. For example, the army will definitely like this can. The Mongolian tribes that were rampant in the grasslands and deserts were naturally happy. In contrast, those who went to sea would definitely like it more, and might even sell well in Europe.

But in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a disaster, the business environment, or the relationship between the small peasant economy, these things did not open up sales, and they were unsalable and developed slowly.

After walking around for a long time, Zhu Xu walked out and said to Liu Shanhe, "Well, you have done a good job. You must continue to work hard. After you go back, you must write a plan for me. Don't be fake. You must have a good statement and be practical. You can write well. I will ask the cabinet to allocate money for you. You must develop vigorously and keep your spare time. This is a national policy of my Ming Dynasty. You must not slackew..."

When Liu Shanhe listened to Zhu Xu's words, he clearly had two words: pay attention!

Liu Shanhe was overjoyed and excited. He raised his hand and said, "Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty! I will do my best to live up to what the Emperor hopes!"

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. Although Liu Shanhe is good at flattering, he does his homework well and he is concerned about it.

As soon as Zhu Xu walked out of the backyard, a casual guard came over and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear, "Your Highness, you're hungry."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. His son, for some reason, was very delicious. He often called him hungry and could eat some, as if he was not full.

After waving his hand, Zhu Xu walked forward. As soon as he passed the rack of the glassware, he saw the little guy holding steamed buns in his hand, squatting in front of a set of glass wine cubes, staring at him, as if he was very curious.

As soon as Zhu Xu came over, everyone saluted in a hurry.

The little guy turned to look at Zhu Xu coming, stood up after wandering around, took a wine glass in front of him, handed it to Zhu Xu, and said crisply, "Father, wine."

The little guy has a white face, clear eyes, tender voice, blinks, and his little arms are erect. He has a very delicate wine glass in his hand. His expression is very calm. When Zhu Xu walked over, he even took a bite of the steamed bun.

This scene hit Zhu Xu hard in his heart, and a feeling of being a father suddenly arose, his expression couldn't help but feel like crying and laughing, and was inexplicably moved.
