The crowd worked together and kept coming up with ideas, Liu Chun recorded very carefully next to him, and wrote it down every time he said a way, and when it came to the end, some people couldn't help but be curious, aren't you Mrs. Liu known as Zhiduoxing? Don't you have a lot of ideas? It's not just us who come up with ideas, you also come up with some ideas!

"Guys, if you want me to say, you can actually change the way you count."

As soon as Liu Chun said this, Zhu Gaochi beside him couldn't hold back first. He still remembered that Master had said that there are three kinds of lies in this world, and statistics is among them.

Master wouldn't be planning to make false accounts, would he?

"Ahem!" Liu Chun said with a straight face: "I mean to expand the scope of food and include some things...... Let's just say that sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are the main ones, and peanuts and sunflower seeds are also included in the calculation. ”

When everyone present heard Liu Chun's words, they couldn't help but hesitate.

This time, it was Yang Shiqi who opened his mouth to explain that he had just inspected Lingnan and had some understanding of several things mentioned by Liu Chun.

"These things are all from overseas, and after Yu Yanzhao completed the round-the-world voyage, some people went to sea one after another, and they exchanged these things from overseas. And got the coastal test bell, but the output is not high. However, it is better to choose the land, and the cultivation is relatively labor-saving, and some overseas barbarians can easily plant, and the people of my Ming Dynasty are intensively cultivated, not to mention it. ”

The situation mentioned by Yang Shiqi is indeed not bad. People have the impression that potatoes and sweet potatoes are high-yielding crops.

But the actual situation is not so simple, the original potatoes still have toxins, it is the indigenous people of the Americas after years of cultivation, the toxicity is reduced, and the tubers are relatively large, and the accumulation from generation to generation has the emergence of later generations of potatoes.

In the same way, bringing potatoes from the Americas to Daming also takes a period of adaptation.

In the original history, potatoes and sweet potatoes were obtained in the late Ming Dynasty, and after several years of cultivation, they finally adapted to the climate and soil and began to produce high yields.

happened to catch up with a certain longest-reigning "holy monarch", and then it happened to explode in the population, it can only be said that luck came, no one could stop it, and the "potato prosperity" was also a prosperous age!

Liu Chun's proposal to include these crops in the statistical system is really not perfunctory, but he hopes to promote new crops and make the best use of all available land.

After all, the increase in the quantity of non-staple foods, although it cannot directly bring about the increase of staple foods, can replace the consumption of some staple foods...... All in all, the focus of Liu Chun's governance is to keep the people fed.

This goal may seem vulgar, but it is not so easy to achieve, and it can even be said to be full of challenges.

"Princess, now let's start talking about the same, how to implement this water conservancy construction?"

Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was energetic, he thought about it, and took the initiative to say: "As long as the imperial court can give enough money, the Ministry of Industry can build three diversion canals at the same time." ”

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, but Song Li hesitated? What's going on? Isn't disgust enough?

The Ministry of Industry also has four Qing Divisions, which are the same as the Ministry of Rites, Yingxi, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian. Among them, only the Dushui Cleaning Division is responsible for water conservancy, deducting daily affairs, and starting three water canals at the same time, which is already the limit.

"No!"

Liu Chun shook his head silently.

"Then five-of-a-kind!" Song Li gritted his teeth and said that he was ready to go down in person.

But Liu Chun still shook his head.

"Master Taifu, it's not that our Ministry of Industry doesn't want to contribute, it's really no one to send!"

Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "Don't be impatient for a while." Let's analyze, if you want to increase production in a large area, three or five canals are absolutely not enough, even if you build it for a long time, it will not solve the problem of the entire Ming Dynasty. We need thousands of canals, millions of wells, and reservoirs to store water. ”

Yang Shiqi's old face was as long as a donkey, and everyone else was spinning, Lord Liu, you really dare to say it, but you also have to see if you can do it?

"If you want to make all the fields of the Ming Dynasty have water, you really need a lot, but it is too difficult for the imperial court to repair so much at once."

Liu Chun smiled: "The target might as well be placed here first." We can mobilize every county, build a canal, dig a hundred wells, and build a reservoir in every province. ”

Liu Chun dismantled and divided the plan, and now the big guy finally became interested, it seemed that it was not so scary, and there was hope for success.

"The tools for repairing the reservoir were solved by the imperial court, and the labor was out of the place, and the imperial court only provided food. Let our magistrates make it clear to the people that the construction of the canal is for the good of everyone, and we hope that the people will enthusiastically support and work more. As for the construction of the canal, it can be included in the assessment of local officials, what do you think? ”

The official Shangshu Ru Yu smiled bitterly, "Taifu, this method is good, but is the pressure on the place too great?" They are responsible for Xingxue, and now they are also responsible for repairing the canal, I am afraid that the local yamen will not be able to do it and will be perfunctory! ”

"What does Ru Shangshu mean that he needs supervision?"

"It's not just the overseer, there are too few officials in the local yamen, let them be responsible for so many affairs, I'm afraid they have more than enough heart but not enough power!"

"Then there will be more magistrates?"

"This ...... Increasing the number of officials, not to mention the need to increase expenditures, it seems that there is still a violation of the ancestral system, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! ”

Liu Chun smiled dumbly, "So, the matter of increasing grain production and feeding the people will be put on hold?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Ru Yuxin said that even if I am bold, I don't dare to object to this!

"That'...... Increase the number of magistrates! ”

Ru Yu finally nodded, but to his surprise, no one among the officials present jumped out to object, on the contrary, some people nodded frequently, thinking that it should be done like this, and it was justified.

Liu Chun's discussion with Baiguan became more and more heated, and before he knew it, it was already afternoon.

"Let the kitchen cook a few dishes casually, steam two pots of steamed buns, and let's talk."

……

For the first time, Yoo Chun discussed governance with all the senior officials.

All the officials in the capital are staring at it!

Especially those who were not qualified to attend the meeting, they were even more eye-catching, and various news kept coming out, saying that someone was scolding Liu Chun, and the two sides quarreled fiercely, and they fought fiercely, and finally they both used the court staff and beat people to death.

There are also people who say that there are two Shangshu adults who took the initiative to resign in order not to be in the same stream as Liu Chun.

also said that His Majesty was forced to be helpless and had to show up to help Liu Chun suppress the hundred officials.

It seems that there is no shortage of this kind of magical bag in any era, for these people, Liu Chun just wants to say that the four-wheeled driver in the capital is still short of people, and he urgently needs to join.

It wasn't until late evening that the whole discussion came to an end.

The ministers left in a hurry, and most of them were not idle, but fought at night, and discussed so much during the day, and now what is most lacking is how to implement the bill.

has been an official for so many years, and people can't see it all, and you have to come up with the real thing.

Wait, at the next meeting, we will make everyone's eyes shine, throw yourself to the ground, kneel down completely, and climb for the master!

The reaction of the officials was in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, and he talked to Zhu Di excitedly.

"Father, it's really God, after my master presided over the meeting, so many people actively offered suggestions, and the big guys were in a hurry to come up with ideas, it was really lively! If you see it, you will be surprised! ”

Zhu Di's old face darkened, "I saw it." ”

"See? Where are you? Zhu Gaochi asked stupidly.

Zhu Di snorted, he didn't just go, but also listened to it for a while. It's just that everyone was too involved in the discussion and forgot that the Son of Heaven was coming.

After coming back, Zhu Di held his breath for an afternoon.

These brutes, when I went to court, let them talk, one by one like gourds with sawed mouths, but now it's good, they all talk, this is too much, right?

Is it because of the slippery beard, or do you think I can't tolerate admonition?

"Father, I think so, in fact, the master is much more approachable than your old man, and the initial proposal was obviously provocative, but the master responded calmly, and instead encouraged the big guy to speak freely. As for the father, if you encounter this kind of thing, you are guaranteed to blow your beard and stare at you, kill people, and distribute it, and over time, the big guy will not dare to speak! ”

"Fart!"

Zhu Di scolded angrily, Zhu Gaochi spread his hands, look, what I said is true.

Zhu Di was so angry that his face turned black, how could I be such a person? I am very approachable, elegant and easy-going, I am the kindest of heavens.

He thought about it again, and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.

"My father entrusted Liu Chun with the government, since he can control it easily, it proves that I have a good eye for people...... Very good, very good! ”

Zhu Di laughed loudly, but in Zhu Gaochi's ears, there was no joy in this laughter, but endless anger, is this someone who is going to be unlucky?

"Let's go, follow me to Liufu and have a look."

Zhu Di left the palace and went straight to Liufu, and when he arrived, it was already time when the lights were on.

Liu Chun's study is exceptionally bright.

Xie Jin, Jin Chun, and several ministers all arrived, and they sat around and were talking about things.

"Taifu, we have discussed it, and we feel that if we want to build a large number of buildings, in addition to mobilizing the people from all over the country, we must also bring in labor from outside."

Liu Chun chuckled, "It's not going to be Annan outside, right?" ”

Xie Jin waved his hand, "I'm not that kind of person, not to mention that Annan doesn't have many people to use." He finally told the truth, after Xie Jin's oppression, Annan had already been thousands of miles away.

"Xiaguan means Korea and the Wa Kingdom, including Tianzhu, can these places be started?"

Liu Chun smiled: "I think it's good, but I don't know if the people in the court can accept it?" ”

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Master Taifu is too worried, do they dare to agree?" If anyone is against it, I will send the poor to eat in their mansions, and I will not give up until they are eaten. ”

Jin Chun also bowed down and said: "If the Taifu can be trusted, hand over this matter to the lower officials, let the lower officials do it, and ensure that they are caught." ”

Big guy, you say a word, I say a word, it's even more lively than during the day.

Zhu Di watched silently for a long time, then suddenly turned around and left.

"Father, why did you leave?" Zhu Gaochi shouted.

Zhu Di's footsteps didn't stop, "All the officials are loyal to their duties, how can I bother, go back, I can sleep peacefully tonight." Zhu Di's face showed a relieved smile, very bright.
