Jia Daihua couldn't hold it in any longer. After seeing his brother, he couldn't help but jump up.
"Okay, if you have read the book and it makes sense, then go read it."
"Our family has a weak financial background, so you have to think carefully."
Jia Yan thought for a moment and then made a decision.
The village heads are overjoyed, as long as they have the final say.
In the blink of an eye, a few people arrived at the county government office, one of the four counties in the capital, once the outer city, and now Chongwen County.
"Master Jia is polite."
The county magistrate quickly welcomed him in and prepared tea.
The four counties in the capital manage a huge area in the capital, and it can be said that there are many noble and high-ranking officials. For Jia Daihua, the son of the viscount, it would be good to send a county magistrate.
Jia Daihua also returned the courtesy seriously, but as soon as he sat down, he lost his temper and asked: "Second Master, why does this yamen want to plant those things for no reason? This is not a small sum of money."
After Jia Yan was promoted to Viscount, the number of land granted to him exceeded 1,000 households. In addition to the rewards and war gains over the years, there were more than 5,000 acres of land in the capital.
"There is no way, it's the imperial court's request."
The county magistrate also said helplessly: "Both the military fields and the military fields have been requested. They must allocate 10% of their land to plant these sweet potatoes. No one is exempted."
"Cabinet? Six ministries?" Jia Daihua said in surprise.
For the Jia family, it is a waste of hundreds of acres of land, which costs dozens of silver coins a year!
"No, it's Your Majesty."
The county magistrate sighed: "His Majesty has spoken and the Ministry of Household Affairs has followed it. It has been tried out in the four counties of Gyeonggi Province. No one can avoid it."
this……
Jia Dai turned into wax.
"Can't we just discuss it? We can plant as many acres as we like."
"That won't work. His Majesty's instructions are clear and clear. Who dares to disobey them?"
The county magistrate quickly shook his head. There were eyes everywhere under the emperor's feet. Who could escape?
"Why!"
Children from poor families become parents early.
Over the years of the Jia family, Jia Yan was away at war, and he and his mother were at home tidying up the farm. He had a clear understanding of the family's financial situation, and was even more heartbroken.
It is not easy to accumulate every copper coin.
Back home, Jia Daihua had no choice but to reveal the truth, and Jia Yan was helpless.
After all, the nobles are rich, so it doesn't matter, and the soldiers in the military field are also talking about it and complaining.
The military judges held big sticks in their hands and carried their pay. They naturally understood the ideological turmoil in the army, reported it at every level, and immediately placed it on the emperor's desk.
He doesn't even give the imperial court face!
Is the reputation of the Ming Dynasty like this?
Even if literacy is popularized in the military, it is ultimately about personal interests and short-sightedness.
"The capital camp is unstable!"
Zhu Yixi shook his head and ordered: "This time for sweet potato planting, military fields will be exempted. Honors will remain the same, but seeds can be provided for free for military fields."
To popularize sweet potatoes, someone needs to take the lead.
The nobles are naturally suitable, and the fastest popularization is in military fields.
According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, after the entire camp was relocated to Beijing, the army and their families accounted for half of the capital's population.
As the political center of the world, the capital has an amplifying effect. Once implemented successfully, it will easily spread to the entire north.
It became an instant hit, and I’m talking about Beijing.
If we go by history, it will spread slowly among the people, and it will take at least 100 years before it can spread to the northern provinces.
Who can wait for this? Why leave a prosperous life to those unfilial descendants?
Moreover, as a powerful tool for land expansion, food cannot be delayed for so long.
"Let the people from the Immigration Department come to see me."
Soon, Huangpu, a doctor in the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came to the side hall with excitement and met the emperor.
The emperor moved and came to Yuquan Villa. The entire center had already moved here, and the six departments were naturally no exception.
The small Yuquan Villa is actually a small palace city.
"Wei Chen, the Immigration Department Doctor of the Household Department, Huangpu, meets with His Majesty——"
"Get up!"
“What’s going on with immigration from the provinces?”
The emperor asked directly without batting an eyelid.
In the early planning, the large and grand immigration plan was divided into several stages.
The first step was to move Hunan to Huguang and Sichuan to fill Henan.
The distance is the shortest and the most convenient because of the Yangtze River.
"Your Majesty, through agitation and local persuasion in the past few months, nearly 30,000 people have prepared to go and divide the fields. The people are very excited."
"Really? You need to make proper arrangements."
The emperor said softly: "Food security and material security must be prepared. I don't want to see my family starve to death just after they move there."
"When the time comes, I will never forgive you."
When Huangpu heard this, he immediately started sweating profusely. He couldn't help but tremble and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. When the snow stops, I will personally go south and inspect those guys directly."
"That's good."
The emperor's tone was very calm, and then he thought for a while and said: "You may not be familiar with sweet potatoes. You should go and have a look in the past few days."
"This product has a high yield and is suitable for planting regardless of the location. It is very suitable for the victims to plant after they move, and it can survive the first year."
After that, the emperor spoke concisely and directly let him leave.
Huangpu didn't dare to tremble and quickly stood up and left.
Taking advantage of the mobility of immigrants to popularize sweet potatoes is currently the best way Zhu Yixi has thought of.
The lively New Year made the entire harem noisy.
Unlike the Forbidden City, Yuquan Villa does not have strict fire protection measures, so a large number of fireworks bloom immediately, bursting out with stunning beauty.
The smell of gunpowder smoke swept through the entire villa.
The emperor didn't take it seriously. Looking at the princes setting off fireworks seriously, he suddenly realized that his eldest son was already six years old, and his eldest son was almost five years old.
After more than a year of enlightenment, although I am still immature, I have become more mature.
After learning, it really makes a big difference.
One by one, like little adults, they came to the emperor and congratulated him on the New Year according to the template.
The so-called innocence is simply a luxury for the court and the royal family.
Looking at the standing emperor, the queen, as mature as a peach, walked over with her plump waist twisted: "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
"Don't you think it's fun for children to play and play?"
Zhu Yixi smiled and said: "Such an interesting time is very precious."
"Yes!" Queen Sun Xueniang nodded in agreement: "Now that the emperor has grown up, I also feel old."
"What's the matter? It's just right."
Zhu Yixi took his hand and climbed up onto her round butt without realizing it.
In the past few years, Sun Xueniang has become more and more plump and has a different flavor.
Sun Xueniang noticed the emperor's actions. She suppressed her shyness and said softly: "Brother has already learned a lesson. Do you want to give him a famous name?"
Zhu Yixi knew her words only from her eldest son.
"Choose a name!" Zhu Yixi sighed and said thoughtfully: "You have to choose carefully, and you can't be careless."
