After experiencing a lot of things, Emperor Jinghe is no longer the emperor who never disputed anything.
He became more active.
On the second day after returning from Liu Mingqi's side, he took King Su, four prime ministers, Governor Xiong Wenqing of the capital, Governor Miao Yan of the Caoyun Yamen, six ministers, several generals and hundreds of other officials to check it out. The harvest status of the remaining seven acres of sweet potato fields.
Liu Mingqi was naturally not present.
If he were to explain on the spot, he would definitely steal the limelight from Emperor Jing He.
The young man gave up even the greatest glory, so it was naturally impossible for him to compete with Emperor Jinghe for this.
He asked Yu Zheng, who was in charge of sweet potatoes, to take action, assuming that everything was ordered by Emperor Jinghe, and Yu Zheng was just the executor.
Regarding the issue of sweet potatoes, the scrambling of the court ministers and their over-excited state almost shocked Yu Zheng's brain.
After he came back, he told Liu Mingqi that the princes in the imperial court were simply crazy and did not look like important ministers who decided world affairs at all.
"Prime Minister Nangong immediately knelt down and shouted to the Emperor with tears in his eyes, "Long live the Emperor!"
"The rest of the people were no exception, shouting with joy."
¡°Governor Xiong laughed from ear to ear when he heard that large-scale planting would be possible in the Gyeonggi region the year after next.¡±
¡°Several generals heard that sweet potatoes can be eaten raw, so they just washed them and ate them. While eating, they praised the sweet potatoes for being crisp and refreshing, with enough water, and not much worse than apples.¡±
"Then the sweet potatoes were roasted, and they were even more excited after eating them. Even Mr. Miao begged the emperor to start planting sweet potatoes as soon as possible, so that they could be planted all over the country in two or three years."
"Prince Su also wanted to take the sweet potatoes directly into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard that the emperor entrusted you to take care of them, so he gave up this idea."
""
Listening to what Yu Zheng said, Liu Mingqi had an idea.
In his opinion, all these behaviors are normal.
No matter how calm you are, when you see edible crops that can harvest more than two thousand kilograms per acre for the first time, you will be shocked and ecstatic.
The biggest shackle restricting the development of feudal society was the continued overpopulation, which led to serious food shortages.
Once this problem is solved and there is no source of riots among the people, everything will be easy to handle.
¡°Like the disasters in the past few years, if it happened again, the court would not be worried.
And once the food problem is solved, people will definitely actively engage in other things, such as handicrafts, shipping, raising various horses, cattle and sheep, etc.
The whole world is a place where a hundred flowers are blooming!
In this way, we can directly catch up with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and become a paradise on earth.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even when they went underground and met King Yama, they held their heads high.
As his thoughts passed, Liu Mingqi asked Yu Zhengdao: "Have the harvested sweet potatoes been stored in the cellar?"
"The emperor took away another two hundred kilograms, saying it was for the Queen Mother and the court officials who had not come over." Yu Zheng said, "The remaining twenty-two thousand three hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes have been placed in the sugar factory. Among our five cellars in the workshop. Gao Jing, the commander of the embroidered clothing guards, specially sent a hundred embroidered clothing guards to station around the sugar workshop day and night to be on guard against Xiaoxiao."
The young man smiled, "This is good, we can shock some young people."
Although business in Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion is in full swing now, there are actually a lot of troubles.
Many workshops have outsiders with ulterior motives who want to find out the secret recipes of each product.
On this point, King Yu, who is usually indifferent to worldly affairs, is also very decisive and severe. Once he finds out, he will directly break his legs and send him to the patrol yamen of the Imperial Palace.
Miao Yan likes this kind of person the most, because if he follows the clues and catches the hidden boss behind him, he can be fined at least a hundred thousand taels of silver, or even seven to eight hundred thousand.
Of course, not every case will be handled by Miao Yan himself. The Eight Chief Inspectors under him are very good at this.
Precisely because they are so capable, this time when Miao Yan went to the Caoyun Yamen, he also brought four chief patrol officers with him.
¡°I just don¡¯t know how long these people can persist in the famous black hole of water transportation, or whether they will be killed by Miao Heizi in the end with tears.
¡¡
After Yu Zheng left, Liu Mingqi turned around and went to another yard.
There is a young man in a green shirt sitting in this courtyard. He is holding a glass of wine and drinking it slowly. There are two plates of cold drinks next to him.??Don't interfere in his own affairs.
Gong Yuan was especially grateful to Liu Mingqi.
It¡¯s one thing for him to worship Liu Mingqi, but he definitely doesn¡¯t want to become Liu Mingqi¡¯s puppet. He has his own unique pride.
"Now let's talk about something more realistic." Liu Mingqi added, "Your family comes from a family of officials. Although your father has become an official now, many of your family members are officials in the court and local governments.
"So you can't be the boss of this newspaper. Let's replace it with my concubine Xiao Suqinsu, the boss. All the expenses will be borne by Prince De's Palace. What do you think?" "
Gong Yuan is crazy, but not stupid, and he understands the ways of the world.
He originally decided to bear all the risks by himself.
But when he heard what Liu Mingqi said, he hesitated, "My lord, aren't you unwilling to inherit the throne? Is this kind of limelight what you want?"
"I don't even care about the throne. What I want to do, can't it come true?" Liu Mingqi shrugged and said: "Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan, will not leave in the next few years. You can do it with confidence and boldness. He still has this ability." A kind of tolerance."
"Oh? That's a good thing!"
Gong Yuan overheard a secret, but he just smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
This matter is indeed a secret now. Liu Mingqi only found out because Emperor Jing He gave him three questions to do, and he immediately understood why Liu Renhuai could not leave Jiangnan.
With Liu Renhuai¡¯s control over Jiangnan, he is certainly not afraid of the emergence of these new things.
Even if it is not Liu Mingqi's property, he will not mess around.
¡°After two or three years, the newspaper will have developed significantly and has a sufficient foundation. By then, it will be difficult for anyone to eliminate it from the land of Jiangnan.
Gong Yuan is just aloof and arrogant, but he is not a pedantic person. When he thinks of the benefits of having Liu Mingqi as his name, he will naturally not refuse.
"Your Highness, what should the name of this newspaper be?" Gong Yuan asked again.
"Let's call it "Jiangnan Daily"!" Liu Mingqi said the name he thought of.
"Jiangnandaily?" Gong Yuan muttered these words, "What do you mean, the prince, to make a newspaper that will be distributed every day?"
"This is just the direction of future development." Liu Mingqi said, "If you want to publish every day, the problems of technical printing and transportation are easy to solve. The key is the richness of the content and the timeliness of the editing process. These require long-term accumulation to complete. of."
"OK."
Gong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I would post every day from the beginning, but I thought how could I come up with so many things to write!"
After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, I think the printing workshop in Prince Yu's Mansion is very good. The printed fonts are very clear and the paper is better than ordinary ones. Can you open one in Jiangnan to print newspapers?"
"You are a person who knows things." Liu Mingqi was happy when he heard it, "Okay, you will take a group there when you go back."
Jiangnan is a battleground for businesses, and so is the printing industry.
Liu Mingqi had no intention of concealing some printing technologies. Now that movable type printing has been invented, it can be promoted.
A big shortcoming in ancient times is that not enough people studied.
How did our country take off?
Isn¡¯t it just nine years of compulsory education that you have to persevere through gritting your teeth?
It is precisely because there are more people studying that the foundation is higher, so when we are engaged in the manufacturing industry, we can produce such high-quality products.
What happened to the OEM?
What happened to labor-intensive industries?
Without these world-class industrial workers, how can you ask others to help you process military supplies in the event of a war?
??Except Germany and Japan, which country in the world can compare its workers to ours?
¡°And the number of workers in both countries, multiplied by two, is not as large as ours.
This is a major guarantee for our development!
Therefore, looking back, if the number of people reading in ancient times could increase significantly, then reading would not be regarded as a mysterious secret weapon, and would be promoted to open up wisdom to more people.
How terrible are the Chinese people who have opened up their wisdom?
Think about the three Mr. Qian and the older generation of scientists who used abacus to calculate the nuclear bomb data!
And printing more books and distributing them at the cheapest price can change the fate of many, many people.
Liu Mingqi believes that this place of enlightenment must be Jiangnan.
Only in Jiangnan, a relatively prosperous place, can so many people temporarily break away from production and enter study.
??????????????????????????? If people were living in a poor place, it was difficult for people to even guarantee their livelihood, so how could they study?
Of course, this is not a goal that can be achieved in one or two years.
Liu Mingqi hopes that within thirty years, he can initially see the momentum of vigorous development, and he will be satisfied!
