Chapter 140: Impact

"Ladies and gentlemen...... A hundred years of Ming monks, the festival of righteous death is today! ”

At the gate of the Yamen, which was less than three miles southeast of the noon gate, dozens of officials and imperial historians surrounded Wei Tinghe, the general envoy of the General Political Envoy, and one of them, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, was waving his hand and shouting excitedly.

"Lord Wei, as a general political envoy, you are in charge of the cashier's order, understand the situation, investigate the official documents of customs defense, and report the real feudal words of the subjects of the Quartet, the appeal of the situation, and the right of military information and disasters, and now Cao Dazhong, the eunuch of Nanjing Town, and Yang Feng, the commander of Jiang Ningwei, have openly made such a ridiculous and wonderful recital, could it be that they regard all the princes of the dynasty as fools, or are they playing a trick of pointing the deer as a horse in the Ming Dynasty?"

Wei Tinghe, a middle-aged official wearing a crimson official robe and a white peacock embroidered on his chest, smiled bitterly and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this official only learned about this matter this morning, and was originally planning to give His Majesty a fold, but you have already arrived, but this matter is in a hurry. The official also has to consult a few cabinet elders before making a conclusion. ”

"What else do you ask, even a three-year-old child knows how ridiculous this is." The young man wearing a green robe with a heron embroidered on his chest roared angrily: "As a political envoy, do you have to block the way of speech? ”

This young man's name is Xie Qiuguo, a native of Yangzhou Prefecture, and he was the new champion last year. Because of his outstanding writing, he was appointed as a scholar of the six grades of the Hanlin Academy, which is a very noble official, as long as he has a few years of seniority in the Hanlin Academy, he is likely to be appointed as a speech official or even the imperial history in the future, and the worst will be sent to the local government as a prefect, and he will also become a rising star in the Donglin Party.

Today's Xie Qiuguo is the spring breeze is prouder than the sky, in the Hanlin Courtyard is bored, he heard that someone actually reported to the emperor, that a guard commander named Yang Feng in Nanjing actually planted more than 3,000 catties of grain per mu, he was annoyed when he heard it, and he immediately gathered dozens of colleagues in the same year and surrounded the Yamen of the general political envoy, and even Wei Tinghe, who went out to do business, was also blocked at the door.

Hearing Xie Qiuguo say this, Wei Tinghe's face was a little unsightly, after all, this hat was buckled a little too much, once this hat was buckled, it would be a very big blow to an official's reputation, and it would accompany him for a lifetime.

Wei Tinghe's face darkened suddenly: "Xie Zihao, according to what you said, what should this official do?" ”

Xie Qiuguo said without thinking: "Naturally, I entered the palace to meet Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to punish this national thief!" ”

"Hehe......" Wei Tinghe was a little angry, he took a deep breath, took a few steps forward and pushed it away: "In this case, you are waiting to stop the official from doing something, if you want to enter the palace to face the saint, you can go by yourself, this official is a political envoy, not the six departments to give the matter, if you don't have the right to open your mouth, you want to impeach anyone, you can't listen to the wind is the rain, and you can shout to punish the thief when you open your mouth." ”

Xie Qiuguo glared at him angrily and said, "Lord Wei, what are you talking about, do you want to speak for those two traitors?" ”

"This official is not related to Cao Dazhong and Na Yang Feng, so he can't speak for them, but at this moment, this official has more important things to do." Xie Qiuguo raised the stack of folds in his hand and sneered: "Have you seen it, these folds in the hands of this official are the folds urgently sent by the officials in various parts of Shaanxi to request the allocation of disaster relief money and grain, and now what the official has to do is to send these folds to the hands of the elders as soon as possible, instead of being stuck here like you and shouting about what national thieves are going to be punished." ”

Seeing the stack of folds in Wei Tinghe's hand, many officials who followed behind Xie Qiuguo showed a trace of shame on their faces, and many people saw that their footsteps began to move slowly, making way for the blocked road a little.

Even Xie Qiuguo was stunned, but he was a little unconvinced, "Lord Wei's words are wrong, Kong said Chengren Meng said righteousness, where did my generation read the sage book for the sake of the righteousness in our hearts." For the sake of justice, what if we put aside the mundane things in our hands for the time being? ”

"Haha...... What a mundane thing. Wei Tinghe laughed instead of being angry: "What a mundane thing, it turns out that in your Xie Qiuguo's view, the life and death of tens of millions of people, and the struggle of thousands of Li people are just some mundane things in your heart." Good...... What a champion duke, in this case, this official will do these mundane things in your eyes, and you, the champion duke, go and find the righteousness in your heart by yourself, and take your leave! ”

After speaking, Wei Tinghe pushed Xie Qiuguo away, strode towards the sedan chair outside, and after getting on the sedan chair, the sedan chair quickly headed towards the palace, leaving only a group of officials who were a little stunned by Xie Qiuguo.

In the past few days, there are still many people like Xie Qiuguo, and many idle and boring officials and imperial historians have sent a letter of impeachment to Cao Dazhong and Yang Feng to the cabinet, although most of them have never heard of the name Yang Feng, but this does not prevent them from stepping on Yang Feng's determination.

In the days that followed, the cabinet received so many requests to impeach Yang Feng that even Wei Zhongxian's desk was piled up. In the end, even Wei Zhongxian, a nine-thousand-year-old, couldn't hold it back, so he had to report the matter to Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to go to the early dynasty, and announced in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that he would send Li Youzhi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Wei Tinghe, the political envoy, and more than a dozen imperial historians and speech officials of the Imperial Procuratorate to Nanjing to investigate the truth.

And Yang Feng, who was the initiator of all this, did not know that his letter with Cao Dazhong had caused such a big wave in the court, and he was in a state of joy at this time.

At the beginning of this year, Yang Feng opened up more than 5,800 acres of wasteland, and Yang Feng planted all of this wasteland with potatoes. Through the hard work of the Zhuang Ding and the displaced people in the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households, and with the guidance of Yang Feng from the detailed breeding technology obtained from the modern society, these potatoes have obtained a great bumper harvest, although they cannot reach the perverted yield of 5,000 kilograms per mu, that is, 10,000 catties like the modern society, but the yield of 3,000 or 4,000 catties per mu is still very easy to do.

This time, the harvest shook not only Jingshi, but even the people in Nanjing. During the harvest days, the people and farmers around the city of Nanjing came to watch, and when the people saw the huge and plump potatoes turned out of the ground, they would cause bursts of exclamations from time to time.

Although limited by planting technology, fertilization and the reason for planting potatoes for the first time, today's yield per mu is still a little less than that of modern times, but for the people of this era, it is like a dream, Yang Feng's name has spread throughout Nanjing and the surrounding places, and potatoes have officially entered the eyes of the people.
