Chapter 1472: Harvest

Good news?

Liu Jian was shocked when he heard these two words.

What the Crown Prince is doing recently? As the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian has been busy with all kinds of things and does not pay attention to it.

After all, there are too many things to deal with inside and outside the court.

Liu Jian looked at the clerk silently. At this time, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also heard the news and both came from the public room next door.

Xie Qian was impatient and asked, "What are the happy events?"

The clerk said, "It is said that the rice trial was successfully planted, so I came to spread the joy."

Rice…successful…

Although rice is not grown in Beijing, there are still some rice.

Just planting rice, what success is there?

Liu Jian was in a daze for a moment and said in a daze: "That's it?"

The clerk hurriedly said: "It was developed by Xishan Research Institute and Tuntianwei. Thousands of acres of experimental fields were opened in Xishan to find the best rice planting method. Now this batch of rice has been harvested, one of which has been successfully completed and has been ready for harvesting. It is said that the yield is extremely high."

When they heard the words "Extremely High Yield", Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang finally had very different expressions and were all moved.

What happened these days was extremely painful for them.

Fang Jifan seemed to be addicted and gave Confucian scholars everywhere, as if he had gotten inspiration from the Ottomans. He heard that he had been in contact with the Three Buddhas, Sumatra and other countries recently, and it was said that he had also contacted the Mugudushu people. This Mugudushu was the terminal station for the three treasure eunuchs to the West. Not only was it far away in the sky, but it was said that the people there were black all over and only had white teeth. After that, Xu Jing arrived there for the first time, so the Mugudushu also sent envoys to the capital.

But... the imperial court has always ignored the wood bones.

Now this Shilin has suffered a severe blow, and it can be said to be full of complaints.

I heard that there were still a group of Confucian scholars who needed to remove the wood bones and tied them up. No one dared to claim to be Confucian scholars anymore.

These scholars were full of resentment and fear. Even though Liu Jian was criticized by Shilin in various ways before, he now had sympathy for them.

There were also many people in the court who dared to speak out. The letters of the Duke of Qi made the harshness of scholars, of course, the tone was extremely tactful.

But now... I heard that rice has succeeded.

This is really the sudden light that suddenly popped up in the dark clouds.

"Why, can this rice field still grow 500 kilograms of grain?" Xie Qian was standing aside, cheering up, with expectation in his tone.

Agriculture is the foundation, without food, everything is empty talk.

If there is not enough food, how can these large number of refugees be resettled?

If the grain production capacity reaches 500 kilograms, then... how terrifying it is.

Especially rice and wheat, these two things are staple foods, and even sweet potatoes and potatoes, are irreplaceable.

Li Dongyang said: "Are you ready to harvest now?"

"Yes, now we are preparing for harvest. Many people have been invited to go. Many people are waiting in the experimental field. They say they choose to harvest on the spot when they are auspicious, and then weigh the pounds. The Duke of Qi also said that he would build a harvest festival in the West Mountain, with a bonfire, meat, wine, and he also said that he would collect tickets."

“…”

Liu Jian looked at the clerk and couldn't help but say with suspicion: "This...why is it like his business method? First use this news to attract people, and then..."

Li Dongyang seemed cautious: "No matter what, we must find out, maybe... we can really increase the output. If so, this will be a blessing for the country."

This is actually...

Liu Jian nodded and then said, "Do you know where your Majesty?"

…………

After a while, Liu Jian and the other two hurried to Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised after hearing the three people's reports and frowned and said, "Why don't I know?"

As he said that, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty, I also received a report from the factory guard this morning, but... the prince and the Duke of Qi sold tickets in Xishan, saying that they would celebrate the harvest, and what kind of words are there for God's blessing, I think... I think..."

I can't continue talking later...

However, Emperor Hongzhi understood that it must be Xiao Jing that it was the prince and Duke of Qi who were working together to build momentum for this harvest festival and increase the passenger flow in the west.

Emperor Hongzhi's case was plagued by an unknown meaning: "There are really many ghost ideas about Jifan. Does he still want to create a festival? Just this... can you earn money?"

Xiao Jing seemed embarrassed: "It's indeed quite profitable. Today's tickets are particularly high. Various magical rumors have been rumored before, so many people want to see what they are. I heard... the tickets are very good. Today's tickets have been sold out. In addition to the tickets, there are many shops and many activities in Xishan. As long as people enter, some of them are able to earn money..."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little unhappy.

This time, Fang Jifan didn't even call me...

But after thinking about it carefully, it was a trick that caused such a big disturbance...

Is the so-called rice yield per mu a gimmick?

But……

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian and others: "What do you think?"

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly at this time: "Whether it was a businessman's method or not, to be honest, when they clamored, I really aroused curiosity, and I actually wanted to go and take a look."

I have to say that this is Fang Jifan's power. Sometimes, even though you know that this guy is a routine, you know that he wants to earn your money, but with such a clamor, you still can't help but want to give it up.

After hearing Li Dongyang's words, Emperor Hongzhi nodded. In fact, this was also his idea.

He stroked the desk and said, "I want to know the real situation, go and see, I also want to see what this Harvest Festival looks like."

……………………

Today's West Mountain is very lively and crowded, and it can be said to be overcrowded.

People were in groups, not to mention that today is another holiday. The news came before Xishan, saying, "The harvest is coming, God gave magical rice seeds to celebrate the harvest... All kinds of rumors... I heard that there are some novel things that have caught people's appetite."

Over the years, Xishan has always had a considerable passenger flow. Whether it is from Beijing or merchants who come to Beijing, they all want to come to Xishan to see it.

Here in Xishan, there are special commercial streets and many distinctive things, and even inns are all available.

People can sit on the flying ball and take a look at the beautiful scenery under the flying ball.

In addition, there is also a water playground specially designed for tiling with concrete, and there are places specializing in picking plums and various fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse.

With the prosperity of the capital's business, a large number of people have enough money. In addition, the famous Xishan Academy is nearby, many people even want to see what the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty looks like now.

There is a special archway in Xishan Academy, which is engraved with the achievements of countless outstanding births. What tourists like most is to go there and take a look, as if you can get happy after going there.

But today's passenger flow is surprisingly numerous.

After all, the momentum of this Harvest Festival is too strong, and people are easily affected by emotions. Now that emotions have been mobilized, the ticket has been bought. When people arrive, they are stunned when they look at the scene in front of them.

It's crowded.

People sweated wildly and finally squeezed in a little bit, but there was still a long dragon in front of them.

Jiang Wen is one of them.

He is a scholar, although he is already a little afraid of claiming to be a scholar, just like this scholar has become a rat crossing the street.

He was very resentful to the Duke of Qi and the Prince, and he was resistant to everything in the West, but he could not resist the family's wife and children were keen on it, so he was pulled by someone.

Along the way, he felt aggrieved and kept cursing: "Such expensive tickets is robbing the silver, this is robbing, look, look..."

He kept talking, but his wife and son were by his side, so he had to endure it.

Now that the trend is emerging, many women have started to work, and even ladies from home have begun to try to study medicine, and some women even learn to arithmetic.

Even though the atmosphere is not easy to change.

But once there are signs, gradually everything becomes natural.

Jiang Wen hates women showing up in public, believing that this is a corrupt family style.

But the wife at home is no longer abiding by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She said that the queen is like this, and the women of whom still go out. What people thought in the past had become fashion.

Jiang Wen's son has also started to speak, saying words such as foot binding is a sin, and he repeatedly talks about it.

Every time, Jiang Wen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

This time, Mrs. Zhou must come to the west mountain to see it. Many wives from other families have gone to see it. As long as they have their own husbands, what can they do? Men and women have a big problem. They can't keep people at home.

Jiang Wen was furious, but unfortunately he was furious and had no effect. His son had bought the ticket, and Zhou's attitude was very firm.

Jiang Wen was angry and lined up all the way, cursing all the way: "Look, look, are so many women showing up in public? Is there anything else to see here except people? I'm queuing all the way. My feet are so sore. It's a pity that the country is a misleading country and people. Alas... the human heart is not old..."

It took me a full hour to finally enter the West Mountain.

Verified the ticket.

Behind this door, it was actually a tea stall.

"Selling tea, selling tea, chrysanthemum tea, clearing heat and reducing fire."

"Look..." Jiang Wen was so angry that he was about to stamp his feet: "There is only money in his eyes. People's hearts are so corrupt that we spent money to buy tickets. When we entered the door, we listened to these common sayings."

While cursing, Jiang Wen felt... it seemed like he was queuing up along the way and cursing all the way, so he was so thirsty.

The business of this tea stall is very good and it is already overcrowded.

Jiang Wen cursed and came forward and took out the money.
