"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The ministers also reacted at this moment and congratulated loudly!
"Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian said loudly: "These sweet potatoes alone can relieve the hunger of all people in the world. Mr. Huang is really indispensable!"
Zuo Guangdou also shouted excitedly: "Previously, some ministers misunderstood that Your Majesty was going to war. Now, in my opinion, Mr. Huang is truly worthy of his reputation!"
Sun Chengzong and others praised excitedly, while Zhao Nanxing and others looked embarrassed.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and told Liu Cheng: "Get some sweet potatoes, and I will treat the ministers to a sweet potato feast today!"
Liu Cheng agreed and made arrangements.
Zhu Youxiao said: "My lords, please follow me forward to see the most important weapon of the country developed by Huang Xiandi!"
Zhu Youxiao walked forward, and the ministers followed him excitedly.
Passing through several acres of land, we reached a small river.
I saw a steam engine pump beside the river. Under the supervision of two people, it was pumping out a large amount of river water. The clear river water flowed far away along the channel.
All the ministers were shocked!
"What...what is this?" Yang Lian asked tremblingly.
Song Yingxing said loudly: "This is the steam engine that Your Majesty wants to promote to the world! In the court that day, you all opposed it with all your strength. Now seeing is believing, so you have something to say!"
Zuo Guangdou glanced at Song Yingxing with a look of embarrassment on his face. That day, he mistakenly thought that Song Yingxing was a sycophant, and the two of them fought each other, causing chaos in the court.
Now, after more than two months of personal experience and several secret meetings with Shi Kefa, he already knew a lot about Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng, and he admired them very much.
Zuo Guangdou bent down and saluted, and said apologetically: "I have preconceived ideas. I misunderstood Your Majesty and Mr. Song in the court. Mr. Wang, Zuo hereby solemnly apologizes! This steam engine is indeed an important weapon of the country!"
Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing and others were also a little embarrassed, but they didn't say anything.
Song Yingxing smiled and said: "Master Zuo, there is no need to be like this. The junior was too strong that day and hurt the master. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Zuo."
The two looked at each other and smiled, revealing the secret.
Zhu Youxiao said: "My dear brother, he spent all his energy to develop such an important weapon to benefit the country and the people in order to strengthen Ming Dynasty. However, he did not seek fame or profit. He even gave the credit of this development to me. How can I not praise such a noble and upright person, he is a saint!"
Sun Chengzong said loudly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right! I admire Mr. Huang so much! A saint descended from heaven to assist me, the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! This is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty!"
All the ministers spoke out one after another.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and went out again.
Everyone returned to the road.
After a short walk, we arrived at Dahuang Zhuangzi.
Everyone looked around.
I saw that this Zhuangzi was very large in scale, with a layout extending in all directions, and the houses were all in order and extremely beautiful!
What surprised everyone even more was that the roads in this Zhuangzi were smooth, smooth and extremely clean!
Zhuangzi was very busy with people coming and going, and everyone smiled when they saw Zhu Youxiao.
This was mandatory by Huang Xiao some time ago, saying that work should not be delayed because of these cumbersome etiquette.
Liu Lin acted as the commentator and explained Zhuangzi's situation.
The ministers listened and followed the tour.
Each item amazed the ministers!
Public toilets, dedicated sewers, newly built bathhouses, canteens, health clinics, schools, nursing homes...
Each facility and each regulation overturned the ministers' perceptions.
Yang Lian couldn't help but ask: "Is it too heavy to be fined ten cents or one day of hard labor for spitting?"
Liu Lin said: "Master, Your Majesty and my young master have built this place so beautifully, who has the heart to dirty it? In my young master's words, Dahuang Village is my home, and I love my home!"
She smiled and said: "Besides, after this rule was established, there were no fines or hard labor at the same time! Everyone cherishes their current life and will never break the rules!"
Yang Lian nodded, and Zhao Nanxing suddenly asked: "I just heard from my sister-in-law that the land rent here is 10%, how much does the labor cost?"
Liu Lin smiled and said: "We don't have the term "labor" here. We work together on the farm, building canals, houses, roads, etc., all for our own livelihood. We are all very energetic when we work! For other things, we use money to hire workers!"
"With money? Pay wages?" Zhao Nanxing asked in surprise.
Liu Lin said: "Yes, isn't it natural to get paid for work? Can you still work for nothing?"
Zhao Nanxing was knocked back and stopped talking.
Liu Lin said with emotion: "These rules and regulations were formulated by my young master Huang himself. He is really a living Bodhisattva! Which of these rules is not for the sake of us common people?
If there are people on the outside, they will definitely exploit the common people like us. Take this school and nursing home as an example. Sirs, who has ever heard of the fact that there is no money to study and no money to support the elderly? It’s come true in our Dahuang Village! "
"No words can describe the kindness that the young master and your majesty have shown to us! There are nearly 100,000 villagers in our village praying to God day and night, praying for your majesty's long life, and praying for the safe return of the young master! I pray for this. A life that millions of people in the Ming Dynasty can live!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu Lin couldn't help but shed tears.
Zhu Youxiao and others couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes when they recalled all the things that happened to Huang Xiao.
Liu Cheng came over and said lunch was ready.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and took the ministers to the cafeteria.
The size of the canteen is still the same, but the number of people eating here has not increased much, because in the industrial zone, every large factory has built its own canteen, and the farm also has its own canteen, so everyone who eats in the big canteen is Newly arrived refugees or craftsmen doing work.
Liu Cheng brought everyone in and sat on the left side.
On the right, there are refugees or craftsmen collecting meals in an orderly manner.
After the ministers came in, they were very curious and looked over one after another. They saw that those people's rice bowls contained either red and white thick porridge, white and yellow rice, or steamed buns and pancakes. The dishes were vegetables and soup. It looks like vegetable soup.
Even so, the ministers were extremely surprised!
You must know that such food can only be enjoyed every day by at least middle-income families, but in Dahuangzhuang it is open to the public!
Zhu Youxiao sighed: "The conditions now are much better than they were in the beginning. In the past, every time I came over to eat, there was no food at all."
Sun Chengzong praised: "Your Majesty is considerate of the people and can even eat such coarse food with flavor. You are a truly wise king!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly and said: "When I can make all the people in the world not hungry, Master Sun will praise me as a wise king. At that time, maybe I won't blush!"
While he was talking, the food was already served.
On the table, there are sweet potato porridge, sweet potato rice, sweet potato pancakes, steamed sweet potatoes, and the vegetables are fried sweet potato tips.
"Although it's a bit simple, it tastes very good. Let's have a meal!"
Zhu Youxiao picked up a bowl of sweet potato porridge and started eating before the others moved their chopsticks.
"This sweet potato is so delicious when added to the porridge. It has the fragrance of rice and the sweetness of sweet potato! Delicious!" Zuo Guangdou exclaimed.
Song Yingxing also praised: "This sweet potato pancake is very fresh and sweet. I have heard about it for a long time, and today I finally have a good taste!"
Wei Zhongxian said: "The stir-fried sweet potato tips taste great! Sure enough, the whole body is a treasure!"
Amidst the praises of all the ministers, the food on the table was swept away, and everyone was very happy to eat.
Yuan Keli said: "Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are not only large in yield, but also delicious in taste. We must promote this to the world!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded.
Sun Chengzong said, "But with such a production, I wonder if it can be stored easily?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "Mr. Huang has explained that the sweet potatoes can be dug in the cellar for storage, or can be made into vermicelli for long-term storage. I was lucky enough to eat vermicelli once at Mr. Huang's house, and the taste was different. Now that I think about it, I can't help but salivate. !”
Zhu Youxiao said: "After the batch harvest, leave enough seeds, and our Dahuang Village will also produce vermicelli!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my slave has bad teeth. I will buy several hundred kilograms when the time comes!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed, and all the ministers were looking forward to it.
After the meal, Zhang Yan and other female relatives left on their own.
Zhu Youxiao took everyone to continue the tour.
