Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 92 Yang Xian can do it, but I can’t?

Fengtian Temple.

Hu Weiyong stood in the main hall and said loudly: "As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said a few days ago, since Mr. Yang can successfully solve the problem of food and salary for the northern frontier army, I believe he can also solve the disaster in the three Jin areas."

The voice just fell.

In the main hall, the whispers and discussions of the ministers immediately started to sound.

"Yes, Yangzhou Prefecture had a great harvest last year. The rice harvest per mu was more than 1500 kilograms."

"As long as they continue to maintain Yangzhou this year, the stock of one of his prefectures will be equal to the stock of five prefectures, and it will be more than enough to assist the three Jin areas."

"I said that Yangzhou's rice seeds should have been promoted nationwide."

"I heard that at the beginning of spring, some ministers mentioned it, but His Highness the Crown Prince rejected it directly. The reason was that it was not suitable for the climate."

Zhu Biao only arrived in the capital last night and had not had time to report to Zhu Yuanzhang about the potatoes.

Therefore, after listening to Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked as embarrassed as he does now.

He knew the truth about the inability of overseas fairy rice to breed. Without those overseas fairy rice, how could Yangzhou still create a miracle of harvest like last year this year.

A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. No matter how talented Yang Xian is, how can he possibly solve this disaster without food.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to open his mouth to calm down about this matter, Zhu Biao suddenly spoke.

"My minister also agrees with Mr. Hu's proposal. I believe that it is Yang Shenhou who can save all the people from fire and water this time."

Boss?

Why are you here to join in the fun? Even if Hu Weiyong doesn't know what's going on, you know the truth about overseas fairy rice.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and was met with Zhu Biao's determined eyes.

Beyond trust in his grown-up son.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said in a deep voice: "In this case, then the disaster relief will be handed over to Yang Shenhou and the prince together."

Downwards.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately came to Zhu Biao and asked him why he supported Yang Xian in disaster relief in the morning.

After Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang what he saw and heard in Yangzhou and everything about potatoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly took a breath.

How many kilograms is produced per mu? !

If these potatoes can be planted in a large area, it will not only be as simple as relieving this disaster, it will simply save all the people in the world!

With this kind of auspicious thing, it will be almost impossible for famine to occur after the Ming Dynasty.

"It's just that my father, there is something difficult to deal with right now." Zhu Biao said.

"What's the matter?" In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, as long as the food problem can be solved, everything else is a minor problem.

"Right now, in several prefectures near Yingtian, rice seedlings have basically been planted in fertile fields. There are not many fields left that can grow potatoes, and most of them are bad fields." Zhu Biao will be in charge of the various prefectures in Yingtian. The field investigation report was handed to Zhu Yuanzhang and he said.

Zhu Yuanzhang took one look at it, threw it on the table, and waved his hand.

"What's so embarrassing about this? Just notify them and ask them to pull them all out and plant potatoes again!"

"He Yang Xian had such courage at that time, but I am not as good as him?"

"Boss, remember. As long as it is something that is really good for the people, just do it! People see things from a one-sided perspective. If we ask them to understand everything, then our court will not do anything. ." This is the courage of Emperor Hongwu.

"I know, I'll do it right away." Zhu Biao said.

Prime Minister.

"Master Xiangguo, the plan has been successfully implemented. Why do you still look worried when I see you?" Hu Weiyong asked.

Everything went according to plan. In Hu Weiyong's view, Yang Xian would collapse in a few months.

You must know that failure to provide disaster relief is a serious crime, ranging from having your head dropped to the ground to being exiled at the worst.

At that time, the people will be displaced, and if there are more riots in various places, public resentment will spread, and someone will have to be found to resist this crime.

Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor himself stood up and said, "Everyone is guilty, but I am the one to blame"?

Are you kidding me?
This is Emperor Hongwu!

In Hu Weiyong's view, as long as the disaster relief fails, even if Yang Xian survives in the end, his future political future will be completely ruined.

After Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen retreat, who among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be qualified to compete with him, Hu Weiyong?
At this time, Hu Weiyong had even begun to think about his future days in Zhongshu Province, and was completely unaware of Li Shanchang's expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's attitude towards this matter" Li Shanchang hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Hu Weiyong said: "If His Highness the Crown Prince did not know in advance that overseas rice seeds cannot be reproduced, it would be normal for him to have such a reaction."

"Yes, if you didn't know about this, anyone would have this reaction." Li Shan let out a long sigh, and then said. "But Weiyong, didn't you notice that there was one person in the hall who had a different reaction than everyone else?"

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Hu Weiyong became alert.

When he recalled the scene at that time, he felt a chill on his back and his mind immediately sobered up.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister is talking about Your Majesty?!"

"That's right, as you just said, if you didn't know in advance that overseas rice seeds cannot be bred, His Majesty would have no reason to consider your proposal for so long. He, Yang Xian, is the best candidate." Li Shanchang said.

"But if His Majesty knows about this, then His Majesty the Prince has no reason not to know, then he" Hu Weiyong only felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Li Shanchang said solemnly: "This is what I am puzzled by. Either His Majesty did not even inform His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. Or His Highness the Crown Prince had a new way to solve the disaster, and he was so confident at that time." Yang Xian agreed to this matter."

In the opinion of Hu Weiyong, the possibilities of the above two situations are too low.

Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Zhu Biao.

When the prince participated in politics, Zhu Biao could be said to be the most powerful prince in history. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would have no reason to hide it from him.

As for the second possibility mentioned by Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong thought it was even more fanciful. If the disaster was really so easy to solve, would the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still need to worry so much?Unless he, Yang Xian, can conjure food out of thin air.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong would rather believe in the third possibility.

He looked at Li Shanchang and said: "Master Xiangguo, there is another possibility, that is, all this is just our overthinking. In fact, neither His Majesty nor the Crown Prince knew about this matter in advance. The reason why Your Majesty has considered it for so long is entirely because of Disaster relief is a huge matter and requires careful consideration."

Li Shanchang glanced at the confident Hu Weiyong and sighed.

"I hope so."

Having said that, judging from Li Shanchang's experience of following Zhu Yuanzhang for most of his life, he always felt that things were not that simple.
