Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

The discussion between the few people was in full swing, but in the end no results came out of the discussion. They only spent the time of a cup of tea, which was very efficient.

With the successful conclusion of the group discussion, several people's eyes turned to Jiang Xinghuo, who was wandering in the sky.

Jiang Xinghuo's state was obviously very wrong.

In the past, there was only one lecture. Although Jiang Xinghuo sometimes lay down, leaned against, and sat sometimes, no matter how awkward his posture was, his attitude was always extremely serious.

In other words, as soon as he lectures, Mr. Jiang's eyes seem to light up.

Mr. Jiang?

Zhu Gaoxu asked tentatively.

Um?

What's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood...

Um.

Jiang Lang, you are always sighing today, and you are still a little distracted. What happened?

Li Jinglong and Yuan Gong also looked at Jiang Xinghuo with concerns on their faces.

Oh, no, no. Jiang Xinghuo was stunned and quickly shook his head.

He couldn't say that he was about to start his next time travel but they stopped him, right?

This kind of thing is so bizarre and absurd that even if he hadn't experienced it himself, it would sound like fantasy. Such ridiculous words, let alone others, would not be believed by him even if it were him!

Jiang Xinghuo said casually: It's nothing serious, I'm just a little sleepy.

This excuse isn't perfect.

Because Jiang Xinghuo's eye circles were red, he was obviously very excited. He couldn't be sleepy and excited, right?

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu and others were even more certain that something must have happened, otherwise Jiang Xinghuo would never be so listless during class.

Seeing that this group of people were becoming more and more concerned, Jiang Xinghuo was irritated, moved, and a little want to laugh, so he simply said directly.

I'm fine, let's start teaching. Where were you just now?

Li Jinglong replied: The On National Destiny I talked about last time solved the three major burdens of farmers, thereby inhibiting the speed of land annexation and extending the life of the dynasty. The third burden here is cattle and seeds.

Jiang Xinghuo was silent for a long time.

He suddenly realized that when scheduling classes, he seemed to have missed the class scheduled for the last day because he had not finished teaching one day's class.

Later, because I was anxious to wait for death, I forgot about it.

Mr. Jiang, what do you do?

Ahem.

Jiang Xinghuo coughed twice, indicating that he was in good condition and ready to speak.

Come on, let's start talking now.

Cows and seeds, right?

Yeah!

The students nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and all looked at Jiang Xinghuo with some expectation, as if Jiang Xinghuo could turn into ten million cows in no time.

I can't solve either of these problems. Jiang Xinghuo said in a single tone.

ah?

Li Jinglong, who was originally full of expectations, suddenly drooped his eyelids.

Mr. Jiang, please don't joke. Zhu Gaoxu said.

Jiang Xinghuo's attitude also seemed very serious: I'm not joking, and I don't know magic. How can I conjure up cattle and seeds and distribute them to every household in the country?

When Jiang Xinghuo traveled through time, he did not deliberately pack the seeds of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes and bring them over. Besides, whether the modern things brought over can adapt to the current soil is another matter. Even if they adapt, they may not be sure. After a few years, the fields will be abandoned for planting.

Therefore, he doesn’t have the seeds, and he can’t make a farm cow, let alone a hand-operated tractor.

All the knowledge and practice Jiang Xinghuo possesses comes from a total of nine world journeys he made including the modern world.

Hearing this, several people felt a little relieved.

Right.

Jiang Xinghuo was not a god, so how could he conjure up cattle and seeds?

If it happened, it would be a scary thing, right?

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, who were next door, also sighed in unison, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xinghuo glanced at a few people and saw that they all looked shocked.

well.

Jiang Xinghuo sighed and then said: However, looking at the root cause of this problem, it is actually not unsolvable.

Oh? Li Jinglong's drooped eyelids raised again.

What did Jiang Lang say?

The rest of the people also showed expectant expressions.

Jiang Xinghuo said calmly: Although I can't change cattle and seeds, I dare to say that solving these two problems of the Ming Dynasty is actually simple. You just need to find a reasonable law.

Everyone was immediately confused.

Li Jinglong smiled bitterly and said, What do you mean by Mr. Jiang's words?

Go back to the roots and look for patterns. Jiang Xinghuo pulled out a rhizome on the ground and asked, Then let me ask you, why do farmers need cattle and seeds?

Li Jinglong thought for a while and replied: The reason why we need cattle is to save more effort when farming. The reason why we need seeds is because there is not enough food in the ground. In disaster years, we know that if we eat the seed food, we will not be able to plant it next year, but You still have to eat, or you will die this winter.”

That's not enough. Make it more concise. The more concise the better. Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and said.

Li Jinglong looked around at everyone and said with a frown.

Save effort! Less food!

Jiang Xinghuo threw the pulled roots back into the tree pit.

That's right. Jiang Xinghuo said with a smile, stroking his hands, So farmers need cattle and seeds. In other words, in essence, it is because plowing the fields is laborious, and they eat seed grains because there is not enough food. That's right. wrong?

Even though Yuan Gong became an official, he still farmed by himself at home. He knew this deeply. In the paddy fields, whether there were buffaloes or not, the level of hardship for farmers was completely different.

And after the autumn harvest, if the harvest is not good, you will face the decision of should you keep it and die today or eat it and wait for next year when it comes to seed grains.

Of course, if you are lucky, you don't have to die. You only need to sell your wife and son, and pledge your only one-third of an acre of land to the landlord in exchange for a small portion of seed grain.

Yuan Gong nodded and said: That's right. Apart from life, separation and death, the so-called suffering among the people is actually just 'hard work' and 'not having enough to eat', isn't it?

Then what if I tell you. Jiang Xinghuo continued to ask with a smile: What if I have a way to partially solve the two problems of laborious farming and insufficient food for the people?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Jiang Xinghuo said: If this is the case, do you think that the cattle and seeds that farmers need are actually solved from the root cause in disguised form?

The secret room next door.

Zhu Di, wearing half body armor, stood up suddenly.

Jiang Xinghuo has a way to solve the problem of laborious farming and insufficient food for the people?

His eyes flickered, as if he was deep in thought.

Father? Zhu Gaochi called softly from the side.

Um?

Zhu Gaochi asked with a strange look on his face: Do we need to urgently recruit officials who understand agriculture?

Zhu Di patted his forehead.

That's right, we may not understand.

Who is that? Go out and tell the guards outside the door my order——

Zhu Di pointed to the chai that Lao Shibajiao was sitting on the side recording, and said in a deep voice: Let Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, put down the matters at hand, rush to the imperial prison, and ride horses on the long street!

Agricultural affairs in the Ming Dynasty were managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites at the central level, while at the local level the chief envoys of various regions were directly responsible.

Among the responsibilities of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is clear that it is to poor the poor by cultivating wasteland, teaching agricultural officials through arboriculture, and recruiting tenants to make the most of the land, and it is stipulated that the emperor cultivates the land, and the minister goes to the grassland.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for land registration matters.

In the Ming Dynasty, edicts to encourage agriculture were mostly issued to local envoys by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In addition, Xia Yuanji came once, so many things did not need to be explained, so Zhu Di decided to call Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Hubu, instead of the Minister of Rites.

According to the order. Chai Che put down his brush and bowed in response.

After Chai Che went out to find the guard not far away, the room became quiet again.

Father, do you think Jiang Xinghuo really has a way to do these two things? Zhu Gaochi was also a little unsure for a moment.

Although Jiang Xinghuo has shown many magical powers before, it can only be said that he has an insight into the system, history, economy and people, as if he were looking down from the perspective of an immortal.

But these things, to put it bluntly, are all pragmatic.

And things like farming cannot be solved without something tangible.

Jiang Xinghuo has never shown that he has the ability to create actual events.

Zhu Di walked around with his hands behind his back. After a moment, he sighed and said, Jiang Xinghuo, I'm looking forward to seeing if you can really do it.

At this time, Jiang Xinghuo's gentle yet firm voice came from the ceramic wall.

I have a secret recipe that can increase soil fertility. Although the product of this secret recipe can only be produced in small quantities, the advantage is that the cost is not extremely high. On a larger scale, the cost of the product can be controlled at a relatively acceptable level, and The main materials required can continue to be used, and most importantly, with the current level of development of the technologies required to manufacture it, the conditions can be fully met and it can be easily produced.

Although I only have 10,000 words today, I still want to ask for a monthly pass~~
