You know, the Jinyiwei is a team that is absolutely loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.
They are top-notch experts at interrogating and gathering intelligence.
Basically, as long as Jin Yiwei takes action, there is no news that cannot be obtained.
It seems that Fu Youde's seizure of people's fields has finally been exposed!
Fu Youde lowered his head in frustration and said nothing.
After dealing with Fu Youde, Zhu Yuanzhang threw another memorial at Li Shanchang who was standing aside: "Li Shanchang, come and tell me, how come you have also learned to seize people's fields?"
"You occupy much more land than Fu Youde!"
"I'm afraid I can't find any family in the entire Yingtian City that occupies more fields than you!"
"At the beginning, Hu Changan just wanted to remind you to return the land in a friendly way, but you didn't reflect on your mistakes, and even repaid the favor with Hu Changan."
"Tell me, what are your intentions?!"
Facing the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang also knelt down with a plop, not daring to say a word.
Li Shanchang knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry now.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to regard the people as more important than himself. This time, he definitely touched Zhu Yuanzhang's inverse scale.
It seems that today, after all, there is no way to be kind.
Li Shanchang and Fu Youde knelt side by side on the ground, not daring to express their anger.
Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly resentful when he saw the two people's behavior. He grabbed a jade pendant and smashed it on it, smashing Li Shanchang's head into a big bag: "You two, you have only one month to take all the things you have seized.
Mintian returns it."
"If I find out that you have occupied even one more acre of land in the future, I will kill everyone!"
When all the ministers heard this, they were all horrified.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
Zhu Yuanzhang has not shown his power for so many years, and many people have forgotten that he is not a sheep, but a real tiger!
Looking at the trembling looks of the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again: "You guys, remember not to invade people's fields anymore. If I find out in the future, I will be demoted thousands of miles away!"
“If you are found to have misappropriated more than 100 acres of farmland, you will be immediately beheaded!”
"I have written this matter into the "Da Ming Law", and future generations must not violate it!"
The "Da Ming Code" is a code of law of the Ming Dynasty, and its importance is comparable to the "Constitution" of later generations.
It seriously regulates many matters, large and small, from civil litigation to examinations of school officials, and can be called an encyclopedia.
In the Ming Dynasty, anyone who wanted to be an official had to recite the "Da Ming Law" proficiently.
The ministers really didn't dare to do it now.
This has been written into the code of law, and the punishment is so severe. Who dares to commit a crime against the wind? Give up his head?
Hu Changan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Since it has been included in the "Da Ming Law", it shows that Zhu Yuanzhang still attaches great importance to this matter.
Although this method cannot control the situation for hundreds of years, it can still be used for a hundred years.
As long as land annexation is strictly prevented in the early stage, it will not become a problem for the aristocratic families to seize the common people's land in the later stage when the armor system matures.
Only by strictly preventing it from the beginning can it avoid causing huge disasters in the later stage!
After solving Li Shanchang and Fu Youde, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Tudou again.
After all, promoting potatoes is the focus today, and beating Li Shanchang and others is just incidental.
"My dear friends, I wonder how you feel about these potatoes?"
Everyone quickly savored the feeling in their stomachs.
One of the ministers was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think these potatoes are as filling as wheat and rice."
Indeed, although everyone came here after lunch, after eating this small bowl of potatoes, everyone felt their stomachs bulging and felt a little uncomfortable.
It seems that these potatoes are not only delicious, but also very hungry!
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but be very happy and said with a smile: "My dear friends, these are the potatoes grown by Hu Changan."
"As you just felt, these potatoes are not only delicious, but also very hungry."
"What's more important is that these potatoes can actually yield twenty-nine stones per hour in sandy soil with poor soil quality!"
What!
Everyone was shocked.
This...this is impossible?
An upright old minister quickly stepped out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, is this Hu Changan talking nonsense?"
"For ordinary rice, even in a good year, the yield per mu is only three to four stones at most."
"The yield of twenty-nine stones per mu is too outrageous, isn't it?"
However, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a smile: "My dear, I dug these potatoes myself and weighed them myself!"
"Twenty-nine stones is twenty-nine stones, you can't fake it!"
What?
Such outrageous data is actually true?
Everyone was shocked.
Some people even dropped the wat tablets in their hands, making a crisp sound.
However, no one cares about these minutiae now.
Everyone was immersed in the shock of twenty-nine stones per mu and could not extricate themselves.
After a while, Xu Duo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, realized what he was doing and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, if this kind of crop can be promoted throughout the country, wouldn't all the people of the Ming Dynasty be able to do so again?"
You don’t have to be hungry anymore?”
"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and replied excitedly, stroking his beard.
The achievements that all previous emperors have failed to achieve will be achieved by Zhu Yuanzhang today!
After hearing this, Xu Duo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly knelt down and said: "I sincerely request your Majesty to send Hu Changan to the Ministry of Revenue to guide the promotion and planting of potatoes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Changan, smiled slightly and said: "Hu Changan, how about you go to the Ministry of Hubu from now on? I will make you the Minister of Hubu."
In the Ministry of Hubu, the Minister of Hubu becomes the Minister of Hubu.
In later generations, the Minister of Household Affairs would be the Deputy Minister of Finance and Agriculture! A proper senior official.
It is simply unheard of for someone to hold such a high official position at such a young age.
Even in history, this is unique!
However, all the ministers accepted the proposal smoothly, and even the most rigid old ministers did not raise any objections.
Just because Hu Changan can produce potatoes that will save people all over the world from hunger, he deserves to be the Minister of Household Affairs!
However, Hu Changan himself declined this proposal: Your Majesty, I think it would be better for me to go to the Ministry of Industry.
Just kidding, Hu Changan doesn't want to go to the Ministry of Finance.
We must know that just after the new year, the nationally famous collective corruption case in the Ministry of Household Affairs will break out.
From top to bottom, the household department is basically rotten from beginning to end, and no one can escape.
Even if he is innocent, he will have to spend a lot of effort to get out after getting involved.
Hu Changan doesn't want to take a trip into this muddy water at this time!
