Deng Deng Deng.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were shaken and he took several steps back. He pointed at the ears of rice in the hands of Yuan Sutai and others. His chest heaved and his face turned red.

After checking dozens of rice ears, almost 99% of the rice ears have more than a hundred grains.

There is no need to go further for verification.

Yuan Sutai and others who work in Shanglinyuan Supervisor naturally know how to take samples in the rice fields.

Only a few rice ears or dozens of rice ears were sampled from a rice field, covering the entire rice field of Laoshan Huangzhuang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and waved it gently in his sight a few times, wanting to confirm whether he heard the truth.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, signaling Yuan Sutai and others to stand up and prepare to play the duel.

Then, he walked up to the old man with a smile, and subconsciously held the old man's arm: "Grandpa, I have counted them all clearly. Ninety-nine percent of the rice ears are more than a hundred. They are all real."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly grasped Zhu Yunxi's hand tightly, shook it vigorously a few times, and stared straight at his grandson standing in front of him, who was now as tall as him.

He whispered: "Have you really counted them all?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

He knew very well that the old man at this moment was probably just a country man who was still worried about his family's livelihood in Guzhuang Village outside Fengyang City more than thirty years ago.

And a mouthful of food that can stop the buzzing in his stomach is what he dreams of most every day.

If there had been an extra morsel of food at home, a bushel of rice would have grown in the ground.

Perhaps, the old man will not enter the mountain temple, nor will he join the army, nor will he become the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty today.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed quietly: "It's too late! It's too late!"

Zhu Yunxi took half a step closer and comforted the old man's back with his other hand: "It's not too late. As long as we pass on the method, next year my Ming Dynasty will be full of harvests. In just a few years, my Ming Dynasty will never have a harvest again."

Some people starve to death, but no one will ever sell their wives or children again."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxi who was right in front of him, and said loudly: "You have done a great job! What you have done is a great merit that will last forever and benefit all people! Grandpa now only feels that all this is like a dream."

Untrue."

At this time, Yuan Sutai and others were already approaching.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the few people and said to the old man: "Supervisor Yuan is from Shanglinyuan. If grandpa wants to know clearly, he still has to ask them to find out."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and when he looked at Yuan Sutai and others who were bowing their heads in front of him, he couldn't help but straighten his back, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

"Calculate how long it will take for the output of Laoshan Imperial Village to spread throughout all the fields of the Ming Dynasty."

Yuan Sutai and others did not give an answer immediately, but they gathered together and discussed quietly for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not show any impatience. Instead, he glanced at Yuan Sutai and others with some appreciation, then winked at Zhu Yunxi and nodded.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his head and whispered: "Unity of knowledge and action."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared slightly, and then whispered: "Most of the people who talk nonsense are people who can't do things well. Only by personal experience and knowing the reasons before and after can we do things well."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi nodded silently. The old man's words were also a combination of knowledge and action.

On the other end, Yuan Sutai and others have already discussed and reached a conclusion.

Later, Yuan Sutai, the right prisoner of Shanglinyuan Prison, stood up to play the duel.

"Your Majesty, after deliberation, I believe that this year's autumn grain is at most limited to Yingtian Mansion, which can implement methods to increase production."

"Zhili and surrounding areas must be promoted before spring plowing next year to increase summer grain production."

"It will take next autumn or even the spring of the next year for all the Dao on the edge of the Ming Dynasty to be promoted."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned when he heard that it would take two or three years to apply the method of increasing grain production in Laoshan Huangzhuang to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Sighing: "How long does it take?"

As soon as the old man spoke, Yuan Sutai and others, who were still planning to promote the method of increasing production in Laoshan Emperor Village as soon as possible, suddenly felt a thump in their hearts.

He immediately looked at Zhu Yunxi uneasily.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, pressed his hands, and signaled the others to be calm.

Then he smiled and said to the old man: "It's related to the fields and food. If you act too hastily, something will inevitably go wrong. Only when the people truly learn how to use the methods to increase production can the official warehouses of the Ming Dynasty be filled with food."<

/p>

Yuan Sutai immediately nodded in agreement and said: "What the grandson said is true. The ministers who are promoting the increase in production must not be impatient. In addition, the supervisors of Shanglinyuan have some other ideas about increasing production..."

"Any ideas?" Zhu Yuanzhang was originally immersed in the prosperous scene of the Ming Dynasty's grain production increasing by about 10%. When he heard this, his eyes immediately widened: "But can it still make more grain grow?"
p>

Looking at Yuan Sutai and others who were so frightened by the old man's surprised reaction that they didn't know how to speak, Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.

If he hadn't gone to Shanglinyuan Prison last time and learned about what happened to Zuo Jianzheng, Shanglinyuan Prison last year, he probably wouldn't know what Yuan Sutai meant at this moment.

Now, seeing that Yuan Sutai has such thoughts, he can probably guess it.

The supervisor of Shanglinyuan is already doing the seed selection.

At that moment, Zhu Yunxi made a gesture and said: "Yuan Jianzheng just said it doesn't matter. It's a matter of food. Even if it doesn't happen, there is nothing wrong. If it can come true, your majesty will not hesitate to reward it."

Zhu Yuanzhang also waved his hand: "If it is true, we will reward you generously!"

Yuan Sutai swallowed his saliva, nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, last year the late Zuo Jianzheng of Shanglinyuan Prison visited southern Xinjiang and the local area has three crops of rice a year. Now it has been planted in Shanglinyuan Prison. Recently, it has also been planted in Shanglinyuan Prison.

It’s time to harvest.”

"I have counted many times recently and found that the number of rice ears and grains is almost over ninety. If this rice seed is used as the basis, supplemented by the method of increasing production in Laoshan Huangzhuang, and combined, I estimate that this rice seed can increase the number of rice ears and grains.

When the count reaches one hundred, there are more than two!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Sutai carefully raised his head and looked at the emperor, wondering whether what he said would be considered an exaggeration by the emperor.

However, as soon as he raised his head, he saw the emperor staring at him with wide eyes.

Originally, the number of rice ears was more than a hundred, which shocked Zhu Yuanzhang. Now he heard that the number of rice ears might reach more than one hundred and two. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to feel that it was difficult to breathe, and his face turned red and white.

of.

Zhu Yunxi quickly stretched out his hand to comfort the old man's back, fearing that the old man would faint from excitement because of this incident.

At the same time, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said to Yuan Sutai: "Explain clearly how the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor can count more than one hundred and two rice ears."

Yuan Sutai immediately explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Grandson, the rice seeds brought back by Shanglinyuan from southern Xinjiang, I believe that the number of rice ears can reach 110 by using the method of increasing production in Laoshan Huangzhuang.

Recently, I am preparing to sift the rice ears produced this year to select those with full grains and a large number of grains for cultivation next year.

I think it only takes a few years to increase the number of grains per ear to more than 120."

"How many years?" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Zhu Yunxi away, walked to Yuan Sutai, and asked in a deep voice.

Yuan Sutai lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor, and said in a low voice: "I... I am incompetent, and I cannot say for sure on this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then laughed at himself: "We are greedy. Now the number of rice ears and grains exceeds a hundred, and we are ecstatic. With the rice seeds in southern Xinjiang and the method of increasing Huangzhuang's yield, it may be possible to exceed one hundred. Now we are still thinking about it."

One hundred and two passed."

Zhu Yunxi chuckled and stepped forward: "Actually, the number of one hundred and two mentioned by Yuan Jianzheng does not require ten years, hundreds of years, or several generations of effort. It only needs to select enough good rice seeds every year, and two rice seeds a year.

As the cultivation continued, my grandson thought that it would only take three to five years to cultivate rice with one hundred and two grains per ear."

Yuan Sutai immediately made a fuss and said: "What Taisun said is absolutely true. Your Majesty, Shanglinyuan is still planning whether it can combine the advantages of several different kinds of rice to make the rice stalks thicker, the root system longer, and the

The ears and grains of rice can be bigger."

Supervisor Shanglin Yuan is actually trying hybrid rice!

At this time, even Zhu Yunxi was surprised and shocked, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Sutai.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi and thought that he had never seen such an appearance from his grandson. He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "How is Shanglinyuan doing?"

Zhu Yunxi took a deep look at the group of people who went to Linyuan Prison in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded heavily and said: "My grandson thinks that if this method is really done, I am afraid that grandpa will be even more excited than he is today."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi, then looked at Yuan Sutai and others.

He nodded silently and said: "Supervisor Shanglin Yuan has worked hard and achieved great results!"

This is the second time today that the emperor has commented on Shanglinyuan Prison.

Yuan Sutai and others were moved and bowed one after another.

On the other side, Zhu Yunxi had already accompanied the old man towards the inside of the Imperial Manor.

When Yuan Sutai and others raised their heads, they saw that His Majesty and Grandson had already disappeared. When they looked back, the people of Huangzhuang who were watching the excitement had already returned to the fields to continue harvesting crops.

In the Imperial Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang was walking forward led by Zhu Yunxi.

Behind the grandfather and grandson, Sun Gou'er and Sun Cheng had already signaled a group of guards, and the servant slowed down, leaving space for the two of them.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang patted the back of Zhu Yunxi's head with a sigh: "You did a good job. Although you were said to be fooling around in the past, you are doing practical things after all."

Zhu Yunxi immediately lowered his head and chuckled: "My grandson is just an accident. If we really want to deal with the food issue, we still have to rely on people like Yuan Sutai from Linyuan Supervisor."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and said, "Tell me what reward you want to ask for for them."

Zhu Yunxi didn't feel embarrassed because the old man saw his thoughts.
