Hu Changan thought for a moment and agreed to this suggestion.
At present, the only way to solve this problem is to talk directly with Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Hu Changan rushed towards the East Palace without stopping.
The prince still needs to know something about such a big matter.
After all, Hu Changan was not sure of convincing the dignified Liang Guogong Lan Yu just by relying on his own strength.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was told directly, Lan Yu and Li Shanchang would definitely be severely criticized.
In order to turn a major issue into a trivial matter, Hu Changan decided to discuss it with the prince first to see if it could be kept private.
The East Palace is within the Forbidden City.
After entering the Forbidden City, Hu Changan first took a detour to look at his potato fields.
Under the careful care of the three farmers, the potatoes are growing lush and green, and they are expected to mature in the near future.
Hu Changan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Tudou is the foundation of his future career in the court, so he must not be careless about it.
The green vegetables on the side are also green and growing very gratifyingly.
In this late autumn when everything is withering, this touch of green is particularly valuable.
Hu Changan thought for a moment and ordered farmer Zhang San to give him a basket of green vegetables.
When I go to visit His Highness the Crown Prince, I can't leave my hands empty. This small green vegetable is the best gift.
Carrying a basket of small green vegetables, Hu Changan walked towards the East Palace excitedly.
...
Today, Prince Zhu Biao happened to be resting in the East Palace.
Zhu Biao was also very happy when his subordinates informed him that Hu Changan was here.
He had long known about Hu Changan's heroic fight against the epidemic from Feng Qing, the magistrate of Jiangning County.
If it weren't for Hu Changan, Zhu Biao believes that the epidemic in Jiangning County would never have subsided so quickly.
Facing Hu Changan, who had made great achievements this time, Zhu Biao was also very satisfied.
It seems that it is time for Hu Changan to find an official position in the court.
Under the leadership of his servant, Hu Changan slowly walked into the lobby.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Biao saw the green vegetables in Hu Changan's hand: "Hu Aiqing, is this... the small green vegetables just picked from the field?"
Although he is a prince, Zhu Yuanzhang was still fighting in various wars when Zhu Biao was a child, so he also experienced a hard life.
Zhu Biao is also very good at doing farm work and so on.
So Zhu Biao could tell at a glance that this basket of green vegetables had just been picked from the field.
At other times, this would not be unusual, but now it is late autumn!
The north wind blows on my body, making me feel chilly.
In this kind of weather, all the green vegetables in the fields have long since died. Why are there still fresh vegetables here in Hu Changan?
Looking at Zhu Biao's surprised and uncertain eyes, Hu Changan also smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, this is indeed what I just picked in the field."
"I previously invented something called a greenhouse, which can grow fresh vegetables in winter."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't mind it, I can send someone to teach His Highness the Crown Prince to build one too, so that His Highness can eat fresh vegetables in winter."
What?
Can you eat fresh vegetables in winter?!
Zhu Biao was shocked.
Doesn’t this mean that the so-called greenhouse can also be used to grow food in winter?
Then wouldn’t the people under the Ming Dynasty be able to grow another crop of rice?!
Zhu Biao quickly expressed his thoughts to Hu Changan.
But Hu Changan shook his head, breaking Zhu Biao's expectations: "Your Highness, this method can only be planted on a small scale and cannot be extended to the entire territory."
"When I build this greenhouse, I need to use silk and vegetable oil."
"Only noble families can afford such precious things, ordinary farmers cannot afford them."
Hu Changan also sighed slightly.
As expected of His Royal Highness who cares about the people, his first reaction is whether this thing can benefit the people.
However, in ancient times, cheap and practical plastic films had not been widely used, and expensive silk could only be used to build greenhouses.
So it's a pity that this kind of greenhouse technology can only be used by noble families to grow some vegetables for fun.
Zhu Biao was slightly disappointed when he heard this.
But soon, he became happy again.
It's also good to be able to grow some vegetables on a small scale. At least you don't have to chew on cabbage in winter.
After Zhu Biao ordered the vegetables to be sent to the kitchen, Hu Changan and Zhu Biao finally sat down and talked about business.
Hu Changan took a sip of tea and said: "Your Highness, when I went to Lishui County to promote the Lijia system, I found that someone in the family secretly turned the peasants who belonged to the government into their own tenant farmers."
"In a village full of tenant farmers from aristocratic families, it is naturally impossible for the Lijia system to be promoted in this village."
Zhu Biao also frowned after hearing this.
I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was so high-pressure, but there were still some aristocratic families who didn't have the foresight to stir up that sensitive red thread.
"Hu Aiqing, I wonder which families have committed such a heinous crime?"
Hu Changan cleared his throat and said: "Back to Your Highness, as far as I know, the perpetrators are the Lan Yu family of Duke Liang and the family of Li Shanchang, Duke of Xuan."
"This is what I learned during an on-site visit, and I'm not sure if these two are the only ones involved."
"I haven't told anyone else about this yet. I just want the prince to give them some advice first to prevent big mistakes in the future."
After Zhu Biao heard this, he sighed deeply.
After all, it is because of the insufficiency of people's hearts. Even though my father has given these two families so many rewards, they are still not satisfied and want to seize the fields of ordinary farmers?!
It seems that it is time to give them a good beating.
Both the Lan family and the Li family have a close relationship with Prince Zhu Biao.
Lan Yu, Duke of Liang State, was the uncle of Zhu Biao's deceased first wife Chang. He had been close to Zhu Biao since he was a child and could be said to be a die-hard princeling.
Lan Yu usually has an unruly temperament, so he would obey Zhu Biao unconditionally.
Li Shanchang, Duke of Xuan Kingdom, was also Zhu Biao's first teacher.
In ancient times, once a teacher was a lifelong father, the relationship between him and Zhu Biao was naturally needless to say.
Both publicly and privately, the prince did not want anything to happen to the Lan family or the Li family, so he had to save them if possible.
After all, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good.
Zhu Biao calmed down, bowed his hands to Hu Chang'an and saluted: "Hu Aiqing, thanks to you this time! I will definitely advise these two families to prevent them from doing wrong things again!"
"Please Hu Aiqing please take a closer look at how to implement it."
Faced with Zhu Biao's thanks, Hu Chang'an even said he didn't dare.
After discussing the business, Hu Changan walked out of the East Palace.
Next, just wait for the news.
Anyway, without the approval of the heads of the two families, Hu Changan would not have been able to persuade the villagers in Lishui County to implement the Lijia system in accordance with the government's orders.
All in all, we have to wait for the results in a few days. This chapter has been completed!
