Kick, kick, kick.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were shaken and he took a few steps back. He pointed at the rice ears in the hands of Yuan Sutai and others. His chest heaved and his face turned red.
After checking dozens of rice ears, almost 99% of the rice ears have more than a hundred grains.
No further verification is needed.
Yuan Sutai and others who worked in Shanglinyuan Supervisor knew best how to take samples from the rice fields.
A sample of only a few rice ears or dozens of rice ears is taken from a rice field, covering the entire rice field of Laoshan Huangzhuang.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and waved it gently in his sight a few times, wanting to confirm whether he heard the truth.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, signaling Yuan Sutai and others to stand up and prepare to play the duel.
Then, he walked up to the old man with a smile, and subconsciously held the old man's arm: "Grandpa, I have counted them all clearly. Ninety-nine percent of the rice ears count more than a hundred, and they are all real."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly grasped Zhu Yunxi's hand tightly, shook it vigorously a few times, and stared straight at his grandson standing in front of him, who was now as tall as him.
He whispered: "Have you really counted them all?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
He knew very well that the old man at this moment was probably just a country man who was still worried about his family's livelihood in Guzhuang Village outside Fengyang City more than thirty years ago.
And a ration that can stop the buzzing in his stomach is what he dreams of most every day.
If there had been an extra morsel of food at home, a bushel of rice would have grown in the ground.
Perhaps, the old man would not enter the mountain temple, nor would he join the army, nor would he become the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty today.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed quietly: "It's too late! It's too late!"
Zhu Yunxi took half a step closer and comforted the old man's back with his other hand: "It's not too late. As long as we pass on the method, next year my Ming Dynasty will be full of harvests. In just a few years, my Ming Dynasty will never have a harvest again." Some people starve to death, and no one will ever sell their wives or children again.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi who was right in front of him, and said loudly: "You have done a great job! What you have done is a great merit that will last forever and benefit all people! Grandpa now only feels that all this is like a dream." It’s unreal.”
At this time, Yuan Sutai and others were already approaching.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the few people and said to the old man: "Supervisor Yuan is from Shanglinyuan. If grandpa wants to know clearly, he still has to ask them to find out."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and when he looked at Yuan Sutai and others who were bowing their heads in front of him, he couldn't help but straighten his back, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
"Calculate how long it will take for the output of Laoshan Imperial Village to spread throughout all the fields of the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Sutai and others did not give an answer immediately. Instead, they gathered together and discussed quietly for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any impatience. Instead, he glanced at Yuan Sutai and others with appreciation, then winked at Zhu Yunxi and nodded.
Zhu Yunxi stretched out his head and whispered: "Knowing and doing are one."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared slightly, and then whispered: "People who talk nonsense are mostly people who can't do things. Only by personal experience and knowing the reasons before and after can we do things well."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi nodded silently. The old man's words were also a combination of knowledge and action.
On the other side, Yuan Sutai and others have already reached a conclusion after discussion.
Later, Yuan Sutai, the right eunuch of Shanglinyuan, stood up to play the duel.
"Your Majesty, after deliberation, I believe that this year's autumn grain will only be limited to Yingtian Mansion. We can implement methods to increase production."
"In Zhili and surrounding areas, we need to wait until spring plowing next year to promote it and increase summer grain production."
"It will take next autumn or even the spring of the next year to promote all the Dao on the fringes of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned when he heard that it would take two or three years to promote the method of increasing grain production here in Laoshan Huangzhuang to the entire Ming Dynasty.
He sighed softly: "It took so long?"
As soon as the old man spoke, Yuan Sutai and others, who were still planning to promote the method of increasing production in Laoshan Emperor Village as soon as possible, suddenly felt a thump in their hearts.
He immediately looked at Zhu Yunxi uneasily.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and pressed his hands to signal the others to be calm.
Then he smiled and said to the old man: "It's related to the fields and food. If you act too hastily, something will inevitably go wrong. Only when the people really learn how to use the methods to increase production can I really fill the official warehouse of the Ming Dynasty with food."
Yuan Sutai immediately nodded in agreement and said: "My grandson's words are true. The ministers who are promoting the increase in production must not be impatient. In addition, the supervisors of Shanglinyuan have some other ideas about increasing production..."
"Do you still have any ideas?" Zhu Yuanzhang was originally immersed in the prosperous scene of the Ming Dynasty's grain production increasing by about 10%. When he heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "But can we still make more grain grow?"
Looking at Yuan Sutai and others who were so frightened by the old man's surprised reaction that they didn't know how to speak, Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.
If he hadn't gone to Shanglin Yuan Prison last time and learned about the incident with Zuo Jianzheng, Shanglin Yuan Prison last year, he probably wouldn't have known what Yuan Sutai meant at this moment.
Now, seeing that Yuan Sutai had such thoughts, he could probably guess it.
Supervisor Shanglinyuan is already doing the seed selection.
At that moment, Zhu Yunxi made a gesture and said: "Yuan Jianzheng just said it doesn't matter. It's a matter of food. Even if it doesn't happen, there is nothing wrong with it. If it can come true, your Majesty will be generous with the reward."
Zhu Yuanzhang also waved his hand: "If it is true, we will reward you generously!"
Yuan Sutai swallowed his saliva, nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, last year, the late Zuo Jianzheng of Shanglinyuan Prison visited southern Xinjiang and the local rice crops were harvested three times a year. Now he has planted it in Shanglinyuan Prison. Recently, he has planted rice seeds in Shanglinyuan Prison. It’s time to harvest.”
"I have counted many times recently and found that the number of rice ears and grains is almost over ninety. If this rice seed is used as the basis, supplemented by the method of increasing production in Laoshan Huangzhuang, and combined, I estimate that this rice seed can increase the number of rice ears and grains." The number climbs to one hundred and two or more!"
After finishing speaking, Yuan Sutai carefully raised his head and looked at the emperor, wondering whether what he said would be considered an exaggeration by the emperor.
However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the emperor staring at him with wide eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already shocked when he heard that the number of rice ears was over a hundred. Now he heard that the number of rice ears might reach more than one hundred and two. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel that it was becoming difficult to breathe, and his face turned red and white.
Zhu Yunxi quickly stretched out his hand to comfort the old man's back, fearing that the old man would faint from excitement because of this incident.
At the same time, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said to Yuan Sutai: "Explain clearly how the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor can count more than one hundred and two rice ears."
Yuan Sutai immediately explained: "Reporting to your majesty and grandson, the rice seeds brought back by Shanglinyuan from southern Xinjiang, I and others think that the number of rice ears can reach 110 by using the method of increasing production in Laoshan Huangzhuang.
Recently, I am preparing to sift the rice ears produced this year to select those with full grains and a large number of grains for cultivation next year.
I and others believe that it only takes a few years to increase the number of grains per ear to more than 120. "
"How many years?" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Zhu Yunxi away, walked to Yuan Sutai, and asked in a deep voice.
Yuan Sutai lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor, and whispered: "I...I am incompetent, and I cannot say accurately on this matter."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then laughed at himself: "We are greedy. Now the number of rice ears and grains exceeds a hundred, and we are ecstatic. With the rice seeds in southern Xinjiang and the method of increasing Huangzhuang's yield, it may be possible to exceed one hundred. Now we are still thinking about it." One hundred and two passed.”
Zhu Yunxi chuckled and stepped forward: "Actually, the number of one hundred and two mentioned by Yuan Jianzheng does not require ten years, hundreds of years, or several generations of effort. It only needs to select enough good rice seeds every year, and two rice seeds a year. If Cha Cha continues to be cultivated, my grandson thinks that it will only take three to five years to cultivate rice with one hundred and two grains per ear."
Yuan Sutai immediately made a fuss and said: "What Taisun said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, Shanglinyuan is still planning whether it can combine the advantages of several different kinds of rice to make the rice stalks stronger and the root system longer. The ears and grains of rice can be bigger.”
Supervisor Shanglin Yuan is actually trying hybrid rice!
At this time, even Zhu Yunxi was surprised and shocked, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Sutai.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi and thought that he had never seen such a look on his grandson. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "How is Shanglinyuan doing?"
Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at the group of people who went to Linyuan Prison in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded heavily and said: "My grandson thinks that if this method is really done, grandpa may be even more excited than he is today."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi, then looked at Yuan Sutai and others.
He nodded silently and said, "Supervisor Shanglin Yuan has worked hard and achieved great results!"
This is the second time today that the emperor has commented on Shanglinyuan Prison like this.
Yuan Sutai and others were moved and bowed one after another.
On the other side, Zhu Yunxi had already accompanied the old man towards the palace.
When Yuan Sutai and others raised their heads, they saw that His Majesty and Grandson had already disappeared. When they looked back, the people of Huangzhuang who were watching the excitement had already returned to the fields to continue harvesting crops.
In the Imperial Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was walking forward led by Zhu Yunxi.
Behind the grandfather and grandson, Sun Gou'er and Sun Cheng had already signaled the guards and servants to slow down, leaving space for the two of them.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and patted the back of Zhu Yunxi's head: "You did a good job. Although you were said to be fooling around in the past, you are doing practical things after all."
Zhu Yunxi immediately lowered his head and chuckled: "My grandson was just an accident. If we really want to handle the food issue, we still have to rely on people like Yuan Sutai from Linyuan Supervisor."
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and said, "Tell me what reward you want to ask for for them."
Zhu Yunxi didn't feel embarrassed when the old man saw his thoughts.
He said softly: "My grandson is not asking for reward for Yuan Sutai and the others, but for the supervisor of Shanglin Garden."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became curious and said quietly: "What reward do you want to ask for for Shanglinyuan Supervisor?"
Zhu Yunxi did not mention what kind of reward he wanted for the moment, but said softly: "My grandson has been studying history recently and read the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, there was a great minister, ranking below the three princes, with a salary of two thousand Dan, who followed him. Today's household is similar.
But Sun'er believes that farming and mulberry farming is still a responsibility that cannot be ignored by the great farmer. Today, in the Ming Dynasty, we have the Shanglinyuan Supervisor, but the yamen are small, the official position is low, and the authority is small.
My grandson thinks that if we want our mulberry farming business to prosper in the Ming Dynasty, to be as grand as this year every year, and to have more productive seeds every time, the only way is to improve the status of the supervisor of Shanglin Garden. "
Nowadays, Shanglinyuan Prison's left and right guards are no more than fifth-rank officials. In a place like Yingtian City where ministers are everywhere, fifth-rank officials really don't count.
The official office is low and the yamen is small, so almost no one will notice the presence of Shanglinyuan Supervisor in Yingtian.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, frowning and listening to the sound of bowstrings and low singing coming from not far away.
He looked at Zhu Yunxi silently: "Do you want to raise the yamen of Shanglinyuan Prison?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "The supervisor of Shanglinyuan is only of the fifth rank. Not to mention that the six ministers are now the second rank. Even the Five Temples, General Administration Department, etc. are all yamen of the third rank or below the third rank or above the fourth rank."
Although the rank of the Zhengyintang official in a yamen does not necessarily mean whether the yamen is reused.
But one thing is certain, that is, if the rank of the Zhengyintang official is high enough, it definitely means that the yamen is reused.
An yamen responsible for farming and mulberry farming, especially in an era like the Ming Dynasty, should not be a place that does not receive attention.
People regard food as their first priority, and this is not just a matter of words.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on tiptoe and put his hands behind his back: "What do you think?"
Zhu Yunxi said directly: "At least it should be the same as the Five Temples."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "A third-grade Shanglin Yuanjian? No. It seems that even you, the fourth-grade Shanglinyuan Supervisor, will not be satisfied."
"Then let's go from the third rank to Linyuan Supervisor?" Zhu Yunxi showed a smile on his face and tilted his head to look at the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang grunted twice and glared: "It's not a good thing to set it too high! Yuan Sutai and the others are people who are dedicated to farming and mulberry, and they do practical things for the people of the world."
After saying that, the old man had already followed the voice he heard before and walked over.
Zhu Yunxi expressed his gratitude.
The old man made it very clear that since Yuan Sutai and the others were doing practical things, they should avoid disputes in the court.
If the rank of Shangliyuan Supervisor is too high, although he will receive attention and attention, he will also be targeted by officials.
Those people do not necessarily want to go to Linyuan Supervisor to work, but just to get to the rank of Linyuan Supervisor Zhengyintang official.
When Zhu Yunxi raised his head again, he saw that the old man had already crawled into a yard not far ahead.
His brows suddenly raised, and he quickly took steps to rush over, shouting: "Grandpa, don't go in!"
However, it was sooner than later.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already wandered into the courtyard ahead, put his palm on the door of the house and gave it a gentle squeeze.
With a creaking sound, the door of the house was pushed open by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Immediately.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
"Old gangster!"
"Get out of here!"
"Here comes someone..."
A burst of panicked shouts from women came from the house in the courtyard.
Zhu Yunxi rushed to the door of the house, quickly closed the door, and pulled the old man who had not yet reacted to the side.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was scolded as an old hooligan, gradually became angry until this moment. He pointed at the room in front of him and his eyes widened: "What a decent person! What a decent person!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at a woman's head lying on the window, looking outside, then coughed lightly and explained in a low voice: "There are women working here, exerting effort, and they are stuffy in the room, so it will inevitably be hotter." . If we don’t let them wear less clothes, they really won’t be able to stay and things won’t get done.”
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and groaned: "The whole room was completely white, and we couldn't see anything clearly. It's really abominable that you still have to be called an old gangster at such an old age!"
However, the room was full of people under his rule, and they were also a bunch of women.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel aggrieved and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Zhu Yunxi said softly, as if he was coaxing an old child: "Grandpa, you have taught me well. Women are all well-mannered. If they were placed in the Yuan Dynasty, those women from the Yuan Dynasty would just be looked at if they were looked at. If you don't know, you would still have to ask for them." Pull you in."
Cursing the Yuan Dynasty and the people of the Yuan Dynasty is the consistent political correctness of the Ming Dynasty today.
Zhu Yunxi brought Yuan Ren out for comparison, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softening instantly.
The old man snorted coldly: "How can the daughter of Yuan Ren be compared with me, Ming Ren! It's just the rules that should be followed."
Seeing that the old man no longer pursued the matter, Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
But Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly reacted, pulled Zhu Yunxi and asked: "What are you doing by letting so many women in these houses?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently and led the old man to another room on the side.
There are no shirtless women with exposed thighs and navels on their waists playing cotton, making quilts, cotton coats, and cotton armor in this room.
Some are piles of finished products.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Yuanzhang started touching everything with his hands.
"Is it Zhehua?"
Looking at the cotton silk as white as snow and its unique touch, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, but felt that things were not that simple.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and brought a cotton coat to the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang took one look and opened his arms.
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi put on the bulging cotton coat for him. Then Zhu Yunxi took two more quilts, placed them on the ground, and patted them with his palms.
Then, he bowed and stood aside: "Grandpa, try it."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was wearing cotton clothes, looked a little bloated, but his hands kept patting his body.
soft!
So soft!
The body also began to heat up.
Hearing the voice of his good grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, slowly bent over and bent his knees, and slowly sat on the quilt.
Still soft!
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang lay gently on the entire quilt.
Zhu Yunxi knelt down and sat aside, taking another quilt: "These are quilts and coats made of cotton. Grandpa, how about you try them."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi covered the old man with the quilt in his hand.
Time ticked by, with the sound of cotton playing in the next room.
On such a summer day, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a cotton-padded coat, cushioned by a quilt, and looking at the roof with his eyes wide open. Sweat began to appear on his forehead after a while.
Suddenly, he suddenly opened the quilt on his body and took off his cotton clothes.
"My dear grandson, is grandpa dreaming?"
