    Liu Jin was very happy when the old man had a son. He originally wondered whether it was because he was old and in poor health, so his concubine had not moved for a long time.

    Now it seems that I have been worrying too much. Being in your early fifties is still a prime time in future generations, especially as a minister in the government and the public. At this age, you are still young and can make a lot of achievements.  age.

    Why is old so old?

    Originally, he thought about mentioning to Emperor Zhengde that he would return home to retire, but the fact that he was old and had a son made Liu Jin full of energy again. He felt that his health seemed to be okay, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to travel around the world.  Maybe a few more years.

    ¡° Anyway, even now, even if he goes home to take care of himself, Zhu Houzhao will not let him go. Whenever he reaches a certain age or has physical problems, it is not easy to go home to take care of him.

    Of course, this is what Liu Jin thinks.

    In fact, Zhu Houzhao has already made the decision under the persuasion of Emperor Hongzhi. As long as Liu Jin mentions returning home for retirement, Zhu Houzhao will give his permission.

    If you knew this, Liu Jin would have left long ago.

    Liu Jin wanted to go home to retire, not because he was in poor health or too old, or because he didn't get along with the emperor and couldn't work in the government or the public.

    It¡¯s simply that Liu Jin feels that he is getting older and doesn¡¯t want to do this anymore, and wants to travel around the world.

    Now that Liu Jin has a son, he suddenly feels young and energetic again, and he doesn¡¯t want to resign for a while. Since he is young, he can continue to work for a few more years.

    Liu Jin was in a good mood and full of energy. Everyone could see it when he went to court, and they were all wondering if Liu Jin was up to something good. It seemed that they hadn't seen Liu Jin like this for several years.  .

    In the study room of Qianqing Palace.

    "Your Majesty, based on the cold weather last winter and the current temperature and precipitation conditions in various parts of Daming, the Meteorological Office of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development predicts that this year our Daming and even the world will experience a large-scale and substantial reduction in agricultural production!"

    Tong Rui, the Minister of Revenue, reported the situation speculated by his meteorological officials to Emperor Zhengde.

    Meteorological officer is a brand-new official position established at the suggestion of Liu Jin. Its main responsibility is to monitor the meteorological conditions of the Ming Dynasty and even the world, sum up experience, and forecast and prevent various possible meteorological disasters in advance.  .

    Although there are no meteorological satellites of later generations in this era, it is impossible to accurately monitor the climate.

    But there are still many ways to predict weather and monitor climate.

    With the support of Liu Jin, Ming Dynasty established an extremely large number of weather stations throughout the Ming Dynasty and around the world. The main responsibility of these weather stations is to record local temperature, precipitation, earthquakes, typhoons, volcanoes and other weather-related information.  , and then summarized them via telegram to the capital of Ming Dynasty.

    Meteorological officials in Beijing can analyze the information collected from various places and roughly infer some weather conditions.

    For example, in the northern region, weather stations in the Northern Grassland Province, Liaodong Province, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other provinces have observed that the weather shows an obvious trend of rapid decline to the south. Then we can infer that this is a cold wave, and we can prepare for the upcoming cold wave in advance.  Warnings were issued for areas facing cold waves.

    Another example is the southern region, which has a plum rain every year. By monitoring the time, location, and precipitation of plum rains in previous years, we can roughly figure out the time and order of plum rains in various places in the Ming Dynasty.

    Based on this rule, the arrival of the plum rain can be predicted. For example, if the plum rain stays in the south for too long, the rainfall in the north will be less than in previous years, and drought may occur in the northern region.

    On the contrary, if the plum rains stay in the south for too short, drought may occur in the south and floods may occur in the north.

    Through this method, you can basically predict the weather, know what is about to happen in advance, make preparations and precautions, and reduce losses.

    This period is in the Little Ice Age, and the weather often appears abnormal, which has a great impact on all aspects.

    In the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth years of Hongzhi, a wide range of extreme climates ushered in across the world, resulting in a significant reduction in global food production.

    In Europe, Europe experienced an unprecedented famine, which once led to the outbreak and epidemic of the Black Death.

    In the end, it was the Ming Empire, in order to dump its own?Expand food planting area and increase food production in tropical and subtropical regions to cope with possible famines.  "

    Tong Rui also quickly stood up and said that to deal with such things, Ming Dynasty has also formed a famine mechanism, the most important of which is food. As long as you have food in your hand, there is nothing to worry about.

    "The large-scale and large-scale production reduction may allow our farmers in Ming Dynasty to increase their income this year."

    ¡°Europe, the Ottomans, Persia, the Middle East and other places have been eating cheap food for several years, and it¡¯s almost time to harvest them.¡±

    At this moment, Liu Jin was not worried at all about the possible famine. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, this was nothing at all.

    Liu Jin¡¯s mind is now thinking about using food to harvest a wave of leeks.
