"Mr. Yang is indeed very wise!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face.

"I'll also thank you Lord Yang for your generosity!"

More than 800 literate farmers were obtained, and Tang He, Li Shanchang and others were also full of joy.

With these more than 800 literate farmers and men, the lack of staff in the Secretariat and the six ministries can all alleviate a lot. The heads of their respective ministers can also be easily reduced.

"I am ashamed!"

Yang Siyi hurriedly bowed and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ministry of Revenue, do you know how many adult letter enlightenment schools are there in Nanjing now?"

As if he was thinking of something, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

As soon as these words were said, Tang He, Li Shanchang and others on the side were shocked and quickly looked at Yang Siyi with anticipation in his eyes.

"When you go back to the emperor, there are now more than 20 adult enlightenment schools in Nanjing."

Yang Siyi, below, paused and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise. Since the emperor had already asked, he would not hide this matter anymore.

Therefore, he said in detail directly: "At present, in these adult enlightenment schools, there are more than 400 adult men who are using letters to learn to read."

"There are more than 400 adult men?"

Now, the joy in the eyes of Li Shanchang and Tang He and the ministers in the court were even more serious.

Especially Teng Yi, the Minister of Personnel, had a flash of light in his eyes. Since he knew about it, more than 400 adult men who were learning to learn to read had been secretly included in the selection of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Four hundred!"

Above, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard this number, he nodded with satisfaction.

After more than a month of enlightenment and literacy, there will be more than 400 literate farmers again, which can fill the gaps in the lower-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about their character.

The more I thought about it, the happier Zhu Yuanzhang felt.

"Congratulations to the emperor, this is an opportunity for my great Ming to flourish!"

With the beginning of Li Shanchang, Tang He, Liu Bowen and others hurriedly bowed and congratulated each other.

"Congratulations to the emperor, with the letter alone, I, the Ming Dynasty, will no longer be short of officials who can read, and the people's political affairs will no longer be managed by the old patriarchs of the village!"

"Your Majesty, that letter is really the cornerstone of my country!"

...

"Father, sirs, I don't know what happened, so happy?"

Zhu Biao, who returned to the imperial study room with a look of excitement, just as soon as he came in, he saw a group of ministers complimenting and congratulating to his father with joy on his face.

And these days, the worrying father was also smiling and happy in the fertile fields outside the city.

He couldn't help but follow and asked with curiosity on his face.

"Biao'er is back?"

Seeing Zhu Biao walking in from outside the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a happy face. After seeing Zhu Biao's appearance clearly, he was stunned.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is this?"

Li Shanchang and others were stunned when they saw Zhu Biao's appearance.

"Father, sirs, what's wrong with me?"

Zhu Biao looked puzzled.

"Biao'er, where are you going? Why did you make yourself like this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Father, my son just went to the fields outside the city."

Zhu Biao replied, suddenly thought of something, and quickly lowered his head on himself and looked at him for a long time.

Then, his face was full of embarrassment.

Because it had just rained heavily, the soil in the fields outside the city was not thoroughly dry.

Zhu Biao took the initiative to dig sweet potatoes. Although he finally learned Zhu Zi'an's movements and rubbed his hands hard, he still rubbed his hands unconsciously with his hands.

This led to the fact that the originally clean and gorgeous robes were covered with clay handprints, which looked like a clay doll that came back from the ground.

However, according to Zhu Biao's behavior, he was really a clay doll that had just returned from the field.

When I saw the clean Prince of the Crown Prince, I couldn't blame the ministers for the past and looked surprised when my servant saw Zhu Biao's appearance.

"Yunqi, go get a wet towel and let the prince wipe his face!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said to Yun Qi beside him.

However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, there was no look of anger. Instead, looking at Zhu Biao's appearance, his eyes were more relieved than before.

"Father?"

Seeing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.

However, soon Zhu Biao understood.

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to explain, Yun Qi had already come to Zhu Biao with a clean wet towel and a glass mirror.

"Your Highness, please wipe the mud on your face!"

Yun Qi held the mirror, tried hard to hold his expression, and said softly to Zhu Biao.

"Miba?"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao was shocked.

He quickly put his face in front of the mirror and was stunned. In the mirror, he saw that some time had been smeared with mud on his face.

Then, a hint of embarrassment flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, and he quickly wiped his face.

After wiping, he hurriedly looked up secretly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers in the hall were looking at him with curiosity.

Now, Zhu Biao's expression was even more awkward.

"Your Highness, hehe..."

Tang He, Li Shanchang and others were the thickest-skinned. After seeing Zhu Biao discovering them, he quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended that nothing happened.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Zhu Biao with curiosity and said, "Biao'er, you are in the field, what are you doing?"

"Go back to my father, my son dug two nests of sweet potatoes in the field outside the field!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao remembered the purpose of his hurrying into the palace and quickly replied with joy.

"Dig two nests of sweet potatoes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

The ministers below also looked at Zhu Biao blankly. Obviously, they didn't understand what it meant after digging two nests of sweet potatoes.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao was stunned.

Then, he shouted to the outside of the door: "Wanxi, bring those two sweet potatoes in!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers quickly stretched their necks and looked out of the hall.

Soon, I saw that Wanxi was full of joy and was holding a wooden tray in both hands. On the tray were two plants and fruits they had never seen before!

After Wanxi got closer, Tang He stared at the sweet potatoes on Wanxi's hand, recalling something, his eyes widened and looked surprised.

"sweet potato?"

"Your Highness, are these sweet potatoes grown in the fertile fields outside the city?"

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Biao tightly with anticipation on his face.

"Lord Tang is keen on. This sweet potato is the sweet potato grown in the fields outside the city."

Zhu Biao nodded and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"And, these sweet potatoes are all dug out from the sweet potatoes I planted in my fertile field."

"I dug it by myself!"

"Sweet potatoes grown in the prince's field?"

After hearing this, Li Shanchang, Yang Siyi and others couldn't help but look at the sweet potato in Wanxi's hand with surprise.

"Biao'er, do you say that these sweet potatoes are all sweet potatoes dug out of your field?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also hurriedly got up from above and walked down.

He stared at the sweet potatoes in Wanxi's hand with big eyes, and finally couldn't help it and reached out to pick it up.
