Chapter 368
What frustrates Ma Wensheng the most is that the emperor doesn't seem to take this matter very seriously.

Going on like this is pushing Duoyan Sanwei towards the Tatars.

"Then, according to your lord's opinion, what should we do?"

"Ask the old man everything, what use does the old man want you for!"

Ma Shangshu blew his beard and stared, and Zhao Shilang was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention it again.

"I'm afraid we have to ask Xie Yushi for his opinion on this matter."

"Thank you Yushi?"

Zhao Lan was slightly taken aback.

"My lord is talking about the Youqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Crown Prince You Shuzi Xie Jinxiu?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him, expect you idiots to come up with ideas!"

Ma Wensheng rolled his eyes and cursed loudly.

Zhao Lan secretly groaned in his heart, so he could only comfort himself, the boss is the biggest.If you offend your boss, you will lose your future.Who told him to catch up with such a boss? This is fate.

"The lower officials are willing to drive you to be the pawns of the adults."

It's not unreasonable for Zhao Lan to want to be a pawn to ask Ma Wensheng for advice.

After all, the assistant minister is already a third rank, and it is enough to give Xie Shen some face by asking a fourth rank, Qiandu Yushi.

Unexpectedly, Ma Wensheng waved his hand and said, "No need, the old man will go in person!"

But Xie Shen said that Xie Shen closed his eyes and meditated in the Metropolitan Procuratorate's office, thinking about how to grow the potatoes that were transported by sea.

In the original history, potatoes were introduced in the late Ming Dynasty. Xie Shen's policy of banning the sea made potatoes enter the Ming Dynasty 100 years earlier.

But right now the people of Ming Dynasty obviously haven't realized that potatoes are the staple food.

There is still a long way to go for the people of Ming Dynasty to accept potatoes and grow them on a large scale, and it will become food on the table.

Xie Shen wondered whether he should write a memorial, asking the emperor to order a pilot project in a certain place, and come up with some high-yield examples to inspire people.

After all, Daming is a society where the upper and lower are effective. Once the emperor makes a decree, the local government can still do it with all his heart.

Of course, it is impossible to expect a thorough promotion overnight.Ruth walks every step and eats every bite.

Potatoes are the staple food in Europe, but if the starch content is too high, it is easy to get fat. However, in Daming, where people depend on food, it is good food to fill their stomachs, so there is no need to think so far.

Just as he was thinking about how to word the memorial, he saw the gatekeeper of the Metropolitan Procuratorate come to Xie Shen's side and said softly, "Master Xie, Ma Shangshu is here to invite you."

Ma Shangshu?Blackface Ma Wensheng?
I rely on!

Xie Shen rubbed his forehead and said, "Where is Ma Shangshu now?"

The door said respectfully: "It's just outside the gate of Lantai."

Xie Shen scolded: "Why don't you invite Ma Shangshu in?"

Menzi said aggrievedly: "It's Ma Shangshu himself who refused to come in, how dare the young one dare to invite you."

Although Xie Shen didn't know what Ma Wensheng was up to, he still had to give him some face.

He straightened his clothes and strode out of the office.

When he came to the gate of Lantai, Xie Shen cupped his hands and said, "My lord is here, why don't you enter the office for a cup of tea?"

Ma Wensheng waved his hand and said, "The old man didn't come to drink tea with Jinxiu."

He paused and said, "Would Jinxiu go to the Ministry of War with the old man?"

Xie Shen thought that the Ministry of War is not far from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he nodded and said, "Don't dare to obey orders!"

When he arrived at the Ministry of War, Ma Wensheng strode into the office and lifted the hem of his official robe to sit down. Seeing that Xie Shen was still standing, he said, "Why don't you sit down?"

Xie Shen smiled and said, "My lord sits down in front of you."

Ma Wensheng shook his head and said, "Sit down, I have a request for you this time."

Xie Shen thought in his heart that if he didn't sit down, he would be pretending to be coercive, so he lifted his robe and sat still.

"Jinxiu, can you hear about the massacre of Duoyan Sanwei tribe?"

Ma Wensheng didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Xie Shen heard about this matter, nodded and said: "It should be due to Li Gao's greed for meritorious service."

Ma Wensheng nodded and said: "That's right. This Li Gao indiscriminately killed the Duoyan Sanwei clan in the exchange market, and used it as a military merit, which caused great anger and resentment. The old man is worried that the Duoyan Sanwei will turn to the Tatars."

Xie Shen said in his heart that according to the normal historical trajectory, this is indeed the case.

Looking at Ma Wensheng's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to ask himself to make an idea.

But if you look at it from the perspective of omniscient history, there is really no need for Duoyan Sanwei to win over, because the department is too repetitive.

Even if the tribes facing Qin Muchu and Qichu win over today, they may turn against each other tomorrow.

What is the point of pulling in this situation?

Of course, it does not mean that Duoyan Sanwei should be pushed to the side of the Tatars, maybe it can make them fight among themselves, and Ming can reap the benefits.

"Duoyan Sanwei is capricious and only seeks profit. The lower officials thought that it would be better to separate him from the Tatars than to win him over."

Ma Wensheng was silent for a moment, then sighed: "The Tatars have too many ties to Duoyan Sanwei, it's not easy to drive them apart."

Xie Shen was overjoyed in his heart.

He may not be as good as Ma Wensheng when it comes to the art of war, but he has a complete reserve of knowledge in his mind.

In other words, Xie Shen can make the most correct judgment with the support of big data.

"The lower officials have a trick that can bring suspicion between Duoyan Sanwei and the Tatar chief."

"Oh? Please tell me quickly!"

Ma Wensheng suddenly became interested.

"But the officer can't say it yet."

Seeing that Xie Shen sold out his position as an official, Ma Shang's face immediately darkened.

"Why, does Jinxiu think that the old man is greedy for merit?"

Xie Shen even said he didn't dare.

"My lord misunderstood, the lower officials are waiting for a secret!"

Make a fool of yourself!

Ma Wensheng thought so.But he had to be patient and said: "What is the secret?"

"It's not a secret to say it."

Xie Shen's words made Ma Wensheng vomit blood.Fortunately, Ma Shangshu had a lot of patience, he laughed and said: "The old man will wait for your secret to appear."

This doomed fruitless dialogue eventually ended hastily.

It's not that Xie Shen deliberately manipulated it, it's really that this thing doesn't work when it's said.

Putting aside these gossips, he said that when Xie Shen returned home, the housekeeper reported that Wang Shouren was already waiting in the side hall.

How dare Xie Shen be negligent and rush to the side hall without changing his official robes.

Wang Shouren is 28 years old this year, and being able to win a Jinshi is considered young and promising.

But this is really not enough in front of the monstrous Xie Shen, so Wang Shouren actually has a slight inferiority complex when facing Xie Shen.

"Brother Bo'an, congratulations, you are not allowed to buy wine after being admitted as a Jinshi!"

Xie Shen already knew that Wang Shouren watched the Ministry of Political Affairs and had a high possibility of staying in the capital, so he was in a good mood.

"Be careful, don't make fun of Brother Yu. Brother Yu only passed three trials, how can he compare with you, the number one scholar?"

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Who is the number one scholar or not? There is too much luck involved in this thing. How can I compare with Brother Bo An in terms of knowledge."

Self-knowledge is the most important thing in a person. Although Wang Shouren has not yet comprehended Kai Kaixin at this time, his qualifications are there.As a fan, Xie Shen naturally admires him from the bottom of his heart.
