After learning this, Fang Xiaoyue made some calculations in her mind.
There is no doubt that if he can completely control the Ministry of Industry in his hands, his power in the capital will become extremely powerful, and even the person behind his assassination will not be able to resist.
This is not surprising. After combining the knowledge in his mind with the human, material and other resources possessed by the Ministry of Industry, the power that burst out was not 10+10=20, but 10 to the tenth power = one Ten billion!
Of course, if you want to control the Ministry of Industry, you must first establish your own personality, and at the same time remove or eliminate the right servant.
You know, it has been 30 years since this right servant minister joined the Ministry of Labor and Employment after passing the Jinshi examination.
Having been operating in the same department for 30 years, his deep connections are definitely not comparable to those of Fang Xiaoyue who is new to the company.
According to Fang Xiaoyue's secret observation and inquiry, two of the four doctors in the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Industry are direct descendants of the right minister, and three of the principals are direct descendants of him.
As for the officials under him, including the chief, deputy, ambassador, deputy envoy, promotion, etc., 20% of them also became the disciple of the Right Minister.
These officials alone made the right minister regard half of the Ministry of Industry as his family business.
Of course, in this case, Fang Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to start a war with Youshilang. Instead, he wrote a "River Governance Ode" based on the collected information.
What the emperor and the elders valued was that without this item, the famine in various places would not be alleviated, and refugees would appear again, which would cause minimal harm to the stability of the country.
But those kinds of things can only be done or said.
Although the emperor and the elders were of very low background and were not very down-to-earth in very few things, as the people in charge of Ozawa State, our per-acre yield of various grains was very small.
"Little man Fang, what does he mean by that? Does he want to falsely accuse me?"
Regarding Ning Zhihui's words, Zhang Yixin was not angry at all. After all, after a while, that little man Zhang might not be so calm and calm.
"Huh? What kind of treasure is it?"
"Eight thousand catties? Even if the yield per mu is one thousand catties, it is still a sacred thing!"
And the official Xiao Shao who is close to Zhang Yixin and above the doctor in the camp and repair department also has that kind of character and mentality.
"What about Little Potato?"
After Zhang Yixin's introduction, everyone present, including the emperor, was stunned.
"Ning Zhilao, if the potatoes have been introduced in a small scale, the yield should be very low, perhaps between 8,000 and 7,000 catties."
After all, Zhang Yixin's official position is slightly lower than mine, and with the arrival of a new official, I would be too direct to target him.
Zhang Yixin comforted the emperor for a while, and then took action himself, grabbing a hoe and digging.
"Potatoes cannot be directly boiled as a staple food. They can also be cut into small slices and shredded for cooking. They cannot be made into vermicelli. They can be stored for several years."
At this time, Xiao Yuelao, the youngest, was not so excited that she had tears and runny nose.
Half a year before joining the Ministry of Industry, Ning Zhihui invited the Emperor and the ministers to a Zhuangzi affiliated to the Ministry of Industry.
Very slowly, the imperial court made careful arrangements for this matter, and even the court meeting that was supposed to elect the minister of the Ministry of Industry was temporarily canceled.
Yes, now that Ning Zhihui has become the golden treasure of the imperial court, I need to promote the potato issue.
The left minister of the Ministry of Industry originally thought that Fang Qinglou was a reformer in nature and wanted to show off his weak poetry writing ability in front of him.
For example, within just seven years of taking office as Minister Zuo, without realizing it, he took over 2,000 acres of fertile land belonging to the Ministry of Works, and also drove the tenants of the Ministry of Works to do it for him. Farming.
Before potatoes are dug out from thousands of acres, they need to be stored in warehouses.
There were not more than ten potatoes in the nest. The smallest potato was no bigger than a volleyball, and the largest one was no bigger than two fists.
In particular, a curved shaft plow cannot turn twice as much land as a straight shaft plow.
The law is a bruise, and what is written below are all the "bad" things I have done.
Several senior officials from the Ministry of Industry who followed also dared to stand by and watch. They got down one after another, grabbed hoes, and helped dig.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't have any doubts in her heart, but when I saw the results, her face suddenly turned purple.
But when the left minister of the Ministry of Industry arrived at Chunhua Building, he discovered that Zhang Yixin and I were the only officials present.
Fang Xiaoyue was still thinking about calligraphy and painting, or ancient books, when she saw Zhang Yixin took out a book.
Zhang Yixin still laid an ambush at that time and said the output was higher.
"Much less?"
"Is it because you know that Mr. Fang has called me, and you have nothing to discuss with me?"
This is tangibly equivalent to increasing the number of private cattle.
At that time, both the emperor and the pavilion elders had no intention of finding trouble later, but were waiting to see the actual yield per mu.
As the poem about regulating the river spread, Ning Zhihui's literary reputation reached a higher level again.
Coupled with the composting technology promoted by Ning Zhihui, it is strange for the yield to reach one thousand kilograms per mu.
As the Pavilion Elder, I was also the second best in the palace examination that year. In addition, I am the second son of the Changjiao Li family, so I am definitely good at being a farmer or something.
In particular, due to the sunshine, water and fertilizer, the yield of barley in southern Ozawa country can reach about 800 kilograms per mu.
Well, to be honest, it's a book, but an excerpt of about ten pages.
"That time I invited Mr. Zhang to come over, but no one offered me a treasure for a while, so I specially invited Mr. Zhang to come over to appraise the treasure."
In addition, the technology of making potato vermicelli also needs to be promoted and so on.
"Your Majesty, don't wait. Since it's called a potato, the fruit naturally grows on the ground."
That's not surprising. When they were grown in the Kingdom of Potato Town, the yield per mu of starch potatoes was as low as less than 10,000 kilograms.
No matter what, as soon as the potato came out and the news came, the capital was boiling.
That year was exhausting for officials at the Ministry of Works. After all, if the potato promotion work is done by oneself and people's expectations are too low, the results will be so obvious.
"Your Majesty, the yield per acre is one thousand catties!"
Without the officials to get close to him, Zhang Yixin quickly grasped some things about Zuo Shilang.
Of course, the main force digging potatoes is still the tenant farmers affiliated with the Ministry of Industry.
So all these high officials went into battle together, and even the guards brought by the emperor picked up the hoe with a white face.
The disadvantage of the curved shaft plow is that it is larger and heavier than the straight shaft plow, but it saves iron materials, is easy to turn around, is flexible in operation, and saves animal power.
These counties need to be included in the potato promotion plan next year and need to be considered.
After all, there is no chemical fertilizer outside.
Therefore, in summary, the yield of barley per mu is less than 200 kilograms.
Very slowly, one acre of potatoes was dug out, and the excavated potatoes were piled up on the edge of the field, like a big mountain.
Among them, the one with the lowest official position is the doctor in charge of repairing and repairing the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that scene, Li Yuanqing, the eldest foreigner in the group, couldn't help but shook his head: "You are so polite."
In just one year, the potato planting area reached tens of millions of acres, and all seventy-seven provinces in Ozawa did not have enough potato tubers for seeds.
When he thought of Zhang Yixin taking away his position as the Right Assistant Minister, the words of the Left Assistant Minister were not too bad.
I just wanted to at least show my face by attending, and then say goodbye without any problems.
Fang Xiaoyue was beating the drum in her heart, looking at Zhang Yixin with narrowed eyes, looking menacing.
But Zhang Yixin had already seen through my appearance.
As soon as the early spring of the next year arrived, eighty counties and counties that were included in the potato promotion plan sent special personnel to the capital to collect potato tuber seeds.
What's more, in order to be promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Works, the left minister of the Ministry of Works gave more than 10,000 acres of land belonging to the Ministry of Works to officials of the Ministry of Personnel and a cabinet elder. It must be said that he was really timid.
Just when His Majesty the Emperor sat down, Zhang Yixin dug out the first nest of potatoes.
Now the so-called potatoes can actually produce a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu, which has completely subverted our eight views.
Xiao Yue Lao was not completely immersed in extreme excitement at this time. When he heard what Zhang Yixin said, he almost spit in my face.
I am sure that I can catch Ning Zhihui that time, and then both the Emperor and the cabinet ministers will mercilessly dismiss me from my post and investigate.
Before the harvest of those 100,000 acres of potatoes, in addition to many parts being supplied to the capital, the rest will be used as seeds and invested in the planting of the previous season, striving to quickly expand the potato planting area.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Yixin was very busy in the next period of time.
Although everyone is doing things like using their power to embezzle public property, as I said later, it is okay to do that kind of thing.
The little eunuch who was following him quickly helped the emperor sit down on the soft couch.
Although the fields of the Ministry of Industry are smaller than those of Xiahuangzhuang, they are still fertile fields.
So I simply turned around and chatted with a few pavilion elders, and by the way, I flattered His Majesty the Emperor and congratulated him on his new seventy-first prince.
But this time, this River Governance Fu was not copied, but completed by Fang Xiaoyue himself.
In addition, he also took away a small amount of gold and silver as raw materials from Baoyuan Bureau and other departments for various reasons, with a total value of more than 80,000 taels of silver.
Before weighing someone, the emperor and the elders dared to doubt their own ears.
I will pick up the Taoist soldiers who arrived in the capital one after another some time ago and were sent to the Tuntian Division to farm the land, while the galloping horse battalion volunteers went to herd the war horses bred by the Ministry of Industry.
After all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
I didn't have any dislike for a guy like Zhang Yixin who came from a humble background, but now that I saw that he was a member of the eighth grade of Gu and personally went to the fields to dig, it made me feel even more disgusting.
"Zhang Xiaoren, you also want Xiaojia to know about those things, right?"
Your Majesty the Emperor is also young. Although my body is preserved by the elixirs refined by Taoist officials using precious medicinal materials, I feel a little tired after standing for a while.
To say that His Majesty the Emperor and the elders were disdainful to go, after all, our sense of Zhang Yixin was not bad.
Once no one exposes it to the public, things will be in trouble.
After all, being an official just reciting poems and composing poems would fall into the upper echelons. Being able to combine articles with technology is the way to go.
As an emperor, it is reasonable to bring some daily necessities when traveling.
With just one sentence, Zhang Yixin broke through Fang Xiaoyue's psychological defense.
In the north, the barley yield per mu is about 200 kilograms.
In addition, Zhang Yixin also introduced composting technology, water wheel technology, etc.
Not to mention the soft couch, the carriages used by the emperor when traveling were as special as mountains. They were pulled by four white horses of the same color, and there was a small house outside.
In addition, while Zhang Yixin designed the curved shaft plow, he also started planting starch potatoes in the farmland owned by the Ministry of Industry.
Seeing such a small potato, several court elders were shocked, and the emperor who had just sat on it was also attracted.
As soon as I got there, I panicked.
But in view of the so-called potato yield per acre that Zhang Yixin boasted at the court meeting, we still came.
Under such circumstances, I no longer had the courage to resist, so I could only surrender to Zhang Yixin.
"It's a divine thing! It's a divine thing! It's a divine thing given to Ozawa by God."
The whole article has a total of 3,811 and 12 words. It compiles various techniques of river management by Ozawa Kuni and turns them into a poem. Its low level is amazing.
Looking at the withered potato vines, the emperor, who is over eighty years old and has a plump figure, turned pale: "Fang Qing, isn't that what he said about potatoes?"
Before Zhang Yixin found out those things, he invited the left minister of the Ministry of Industry to Chunhua Tower for a drink.
It was precisely because of the appearance of the "River Governance Fu" that many neutral officials in the Ministry of Industry who were originally swaying to the right and left moved closer to Zhang Yixin on their own initiative.
Of course, two thousand acres of fertile land and eighty thousand taels of silver are nothing to a villain like Zuo Shilang.
At that time, the potato sown area will exceed 100,000 acres.
That's not surprising. Regardless of any dynasty, the importance of food ranks first.
It was a small crime to lie about the yield of new crops per acre to trick the imperial court. Regardless of whether he was a literary giant or a literary saint, that alone was enough to make Ning Zhihui take action.
"Dig! Go dig! Let's see how much the yield per acre is!"
If you want people to work, they must be good, and the position of Minister of Industry is not a carrot dangling in front of Ning Zhihui.
Immediately, several pavilion elders gathered around to check.
"One thousand catties? Does that mean one acre of potatoes is equal to eighty acres of barley?"
Yes, what is written below is too detailed. As long as no one checks it, I will run away.
Without the assistance of an old bureaucrat like Fang Xiaoyue, Zhang Yixin's upcoming problems would be less troublesome.
If there is any doubt, according to official customs, it is not impossible to discuss important matters.
But precisely because of this, he had a very low opinion of Zhang Yixin's River Governance Fu. He thought that the right servant minister was talented and a man who understood technology, so he moved closer to Zhang Yixin.
The other thing is that just sending that discount to the court would kill me immediately.
The doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce had been an official longer than Zuo Shilang, but he had a tough temper and was ostracized because of his habitual habits among his colleagues. Therefore, he had been working in the Ministry of Works for eighty years before he became a doctor. position.
After all, someone like the Right and Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Finance can earn tens of thousands of taels at most in a year.
Zhang Yixin also sent a small number of tenant farmers to train farmers in the eighty counties on planting techniques and composting techniques.
