Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 26 Thirteen grains of grain

Naturally, a memorial must be written.

And according to Yang Xian's estimation, after receiving the report, the imperial court will soon send an inspection censor to verify the results.

In the study room of the government office, Ningshen incense is lit, and the light aroma is refreshing, making people feel very comfortable when smelling it.

In Yang Xian's hand, he held a writing brush with an antique flavor. This writing brush was a gift from his predecessor, Liu Bowen, when he was in Hanlin.

On the desk are sheets of rice paper cut to about the size of four palms.

Yang Xianzheng wrote carefully.

Don't get me wrong, he is not writing a report on Yangzhou's great harvest. He can leave such trivial work matters to Lu Mingyi, and he only needs to be responsible for the final review.

The breeze blew through the window, causing the sheets of rice paper to fly and make a clattering sound.

It also allows people to clearly see the text on the first page.

"Dream of Red Mansions!"

The third novice treasure chest was very unlucky. What was opened turned out to be a copy of Dream of Red Mansions published by Modern People's Literature Society!

In line with the principle of not wasting anything, since he had nothing to do these days, Yang Xian began to prepare to record it.

I have to say that Yang Xian is worthy of his Hanlin background, and his handwriting in small regular script is very beautiful.

This kind of memory that has been integrated into the muscles has also been inherited.

Who would have thought that Qin Zhong would take advantage of the darkness to look for wisdom.As soon as they arrived in the back room, they saw Zhi Zhi washing tea bowls alone in the room. Qin Zhong ran over and hugged him and kissed him.Zhizhi stamped his feet anxiously and said, "What's this! If you do this again, I'll call you." Qin Zhong begged, "Good man, I'm dying of anxiety. If you don't obey me today, I will die here."

What Yang Xian "wrote" was Chapter No. 15 of Dream of Red Mansions. Qin Keqing's younger brother had an affair with the nun Zhi'er in Shuiyue Temple, and was later caught by Jia Baoyu. Zhi'er was so embarrassed that he ran away at night, while Jia Baoyu He stayed and settled an indescribable score with Qin Zhong all night.

Although Yang Xian only read Red Mansions once in his previous life when he was a student, he still remembers this plot.

the other side.

Beijing.

After Zhu Yan returned to Beijing, he did not dare to stop for a moment, and immediately entered the palace quietly.

Tell Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao everything they saw and heard during their trip to Yangzhou.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had not seen the asphalt road with their own eyes. They only listened to Zhu Yan's narration, and the shock they felt was not that great.

But the rice yield of 1500 kilograms per mu really shocked them.

You must know that a few months ago, what they were discussing was whether the yield per mu of the new rice species mentioned by Yang Xian could really be doubled.

After the snowflake salt incident, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son have reached a consensus regarding Yang Xian. As long as Yangzhou can have a normal autumn harvest this year and the output only increases a little, they will find an excuse and will not punish Yang Xian's crime. By the way, I blocked the mouths of all the ministers.

But who would have thought that Yang Xian would directly give them a Wang Zha.

My dear, the yield per mu has increased five times!
No one understands the meaning of it better than Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a farmer.

Listening to his son Zhu Yan's report, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little distracted, and his mind inexplicably recalled his childhood.

Guzhuang Village, Taiping Township, Zhongli, Haozhou.

At that time, there was one of the poorest peasant families in the east end of the village. The head of the family was named Zhu Wusi.

In ancient times, no matter how poor people were, they still had to have children.

Because children are the labor force, those in their early teens can already work in the fields. Even younger ones can cut pig grass to feed livestock, which can also reduce a lot of the burden on the family.

The same goes for Zhu Wusi, who gave birth to eight boys and girls in a row, with names ranging from Zhongyi to Zhongba.

However, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were successive years of famine, and six of the eight children starved to death.

Also catching up with the Yuan court's excessive taxation, Zhu Wusi was directly forced to hang himself by local tax collectors, and his wife followed closely.There are only thirteen rice seeds left for Zhu Chongba and his second brother!

These rice seeds were once the hope of their family.

To this day, Zhu Yuanzhang can't forget what his second brother said to him at that time.

"This is the last bit of rice seed left in our family. Bad brother, you can make porridge with it."

Thirteen grains of rice, only thirteen grains.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang understood that in those days, if his family could have a full meal, he would definitely not rebel.

It was these thirteen grains of rice that allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to reach today step by step.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he placed the first priority on ensuring agriculture, promoting agriculture, and raising agriculture.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see another birth of himself in his Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, okay, Yang Xian did a good job!" Zhu Yuanzhang said three good words in a row. After becoming the leader, he had not shown such an excited expression in front of others for a long time, even in front of his sons.

Zhu Biao thought of another thing.

He thought of the various disadvantages of the Open China Law that he had discussed with Yang Xian when he was in Yangzhou that day.

If the yield of this new rice species can really reach five times, it can be cultivated directly in the border areas, and the food produced in the future will be completely sufficient for the border troops to be self-sufficient.

Then the opening method that he has been worried about can be abolished.

When he thought of this, his eyes lit up.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Yan's performance this time. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him. Suddenly he thought of something again and asked: "Where's Yue Minren? How did you get along with her during this trip to Yangzhou?" ?”

"Wang Yuemin should be with the queen now."

To be honest, Zhu Yan seemed a little flattered by the sudden father's love. In fact, he had been a little afraid of his father since he was a child.

At this point, he admired his fourth brother Zhu Di very much.

Zhu Yan immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Wang Yuemin was going to partner with Yang Xian to open a dessert shop in the capital.

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"My son wants to try to build an asphalt road in the capital." Zhu Yan looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately continued. "Of course it will only be built in remote roads and lanes in the city and will not affect people's daily lives."

"Also."

He was in a good mood at this time, so he agreed to everything.

"Thank you, Father!"

"Yang Xian, this guy, really can't take a day off. But compared to national events such as salt production, new rice seeds, and asphalt roads, desserts and delicacies seem a bit petty. No matter how delicious this thing is, it can How much does it cost to sell it?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

On this point, his views are surprisingly consistent with Zhu Yan's.

As expected of a father and son.

Kunning Palace.

Wang Yuemin had returned to her daughter's body at this time, and her figure was graceful and her face was gorgeous.

He has a sense of nobility and heroism about him.

But even so, Wang Yuemin's aura was still suppressed by the woman next to her.

The woman just sat there, reaching out to hold Wang Yuemin's little hand, with a kind smile on her face.
