Chapter 301
"In this way, the sweet potatoes in your fields have also achieved great harvests!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
"Thank you, the Emperor!"
Tang He was as calm as ever and his face was full of honesty.
At this time, Yun Qi walked in from outside the hall with a strange look on his face.
After looking at Zhu Biao and Tang He, he hurriedly lay down beside Zhu Yuanzhang's ear and murmured a few words in a low voice.
Zhu Biao and Tang He, who had been silently paying attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, suddenly realized that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes gradually became strange.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao and Tang He's faces changed slightly.
They looked at each other, then bowed their hands directly, and hurriedly said, "Father, when he brought the sweet potatoes back, Zi'an's cousin directly took away ten stones of sweet potatoes in the sweet potato convoy on the grounds that the Zhu family lacked sweet potatoes... In addition, the son-in-law also wanted to eat some sweet potatoes, so he couldn't help it and left two stones of sweet potatoes!"
On the side, Tang He also reported honestly: "Emperor, Zi'an also took away ten stones of sweet potatoes from his ministers for the same reason!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a little embarrassed look.
"In addition, you also know that the boys in our house are all small gluttons. Therefore, we are afraid that there will be less and there will be no food. So we will leave five stone sweet potatoes for those boys in our family!"
Five stones?
After hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Tang He, who was full of honest faces.
I thought that he left behind two stone sweet potatoes, although he also kept some of them with the second, third and fourth brothers, which was already greedy.
Unexpectedly, the one beside me is the cruelest person.
"Your Majesty, those boys in my family have eaten a lot since they were young and ate a lot. Now, the surplus grains in my family have long been less abundant. Especially after the severe drought, the 100 acres of fertile land in my family have already died of more than 60 acres of crops. This year, the food in my family is even short of enough. My five-stone sweet potatoes are already considered the staple food in my family..."
The more he spoke, the more sad Tang He looked.
"Okay, okay. Fatty Tang, who you are, Biaoer may not know, but we can still not know. If you don't have enough food in your family, we will be the first to believe it."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Tang He fiercely, quite helpless.
Seeing this, Tang He smiled and stopped talking too much.
As long as the emperor only pursues the five-stone sweet potatoes, it will achieve its goal.
"Tanghe, how should you promote the sweet potato?"
After a while of purity in the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head again, his face full of thought.
"Your Majesty, we think Zi'an's method is excellent!"
Tang He replied without thinking.
He knows the emperor best.
Since yesterday's field, the emperor has already agreed with Zi'an's promotion method.
Therefore, Tang He kept silent in the morning court this day and did not participate in it.
Above, after Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he sat there, with his face full of contemplation.
a long time.
Then he slowly broke the silence in the hall and looked at Yun Qi.
"Xuan Li Shanchang, Yang Siyi, Liu Bowen, Shan Anren... Meng Duan and other ministers entered the palace!"
"yes!"
Yun Qi quickly bowed his hand and walked out quickly.
Half an hour later.
"Greetings to the Emperor!"
The top ministers of the Ming Dynasty all hurriedly arrived in the imperial study room.
"We decided to start experimenting with planting sweet potatoes and potatoes in the farmlands around Nanjing City. In addition, farmers around Nanjing City are encouraged to open up wastelands around the surrounding areas to plant potatoes. These newly reclaimed fields will be exempt from taxes within five years!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around.
"I wonder, what else do you have?"
"Your Majesty, who dares to ask who is the mainstay of growing sweet potatoes and potatoes in this experiment?"
Yang Siyi's eyes flashed and he quickly stood up and asked.
"The Ministry of Revenue is the main focus of this matter, and all departments must do their best to assist!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"I will obey the order!"
After raising his back, everyone looked at Yang Siyi with bright eyes.
Unexpectedly, Yang Siyi would be so lucky.
Every time, the political achievements made by the Wudang Xiaozhen person are from the Ministry of Revenue!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the ministers were involuntarily red.
"For this matter, the Minister of Commerce and the Ministry of Revenue will make a detailed plan as soon as possible and present it to us for a look!"
"I obey the order!"
...
It’s noon at sunset and the sun shines brightly.
The entire streets of Nanjing City were full of hot energy. Even the thin and dark stray dogs were hiding under some dog holes and corners, stretching their long tongues and lying on the ground with their eyes blankly, watching the pedestrians coming and going.
However, the good days have not been enjoyed for long.
These stray dogs were rudely driven away by a group of yamen runners.
One of them waved a big brush in his hand and brushed hard on the wall a few times.
Another yamen runner picked up the bucket in his hand, stirred it with a small brush twice, and then brushed it on the wall a few times.
Then, the two of them put the white paper up.
In less than a few breaths.
These shades were occupied by the common people, crowded together.
"Hurry, who can read and read in Qijiaxiang? What is the statement written on this notice?"
An old man with white hair and wrinkles shouted loudly at the top of his throat.
He turned a blind eye to those two yamen runners.
In the past, every time I came to a notice, I had to ask these yamen runners to read it with kind words.
But now, there are people who can read in Qijia Lane, my own.
Moreover, it was also in the Ministry of Revenue.
Now, the entire Qijiaxiang people always hold their heads raised when they go out.
"Master Qi, I know some words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a vicissitudes of life emerged from the crowd.
"The second child of Lao Li's family? Isn't your boy literate? Why can you do it?"
When he saw the person who came out, the person beside him looked surprised and suspicious.
"Hehe, Aunt Bai Er, we first learned to learn to read. Li Yao, our family, was taught by us personally!" Li Wen said with a complacent face.
After hearing this, the second Aunt Bai with a fat face on the side wanted to say something, but the old Seventh Master was a little impatient.
"Okay, don't say the rest. Now, Li Wen, please read it to everyone, what is written on this notice?"
Master Qi shouted.
"yes!"
Everyone in Qijiaxiang admires this Qiye very much.
Therefore, after Master Qi finished speaking, everyone stopped and looked directly at Li Wen.
Li Wen quickly looked at the notice and said, "Seventh Master, neighbors, this notice is a notice from the Ministry of Revenue, a notice about the sweet potatoes and potatoes outside the city the day before yesterday!"
After hearing this, everyone stared at Li Wen with anticipation on his face.
"The emperor decided to start planting sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fields around Nanjing City. However, there are not many free fields now. Therefore, the emperor encourages the people and others to reclaim those wastelands, and whoever cultivates the wastelands will plant them. Moreover, within five years, these wastelands will not be taxed!"
"This is true?"
"There are such good things?"
