Before the East Palace Young Army was formed, the prince was still willing to discuss it with his ministers and even exchange interests. Now the young army has grown, and after the Tang family's relative incident, Yu Qian, the Minister of War, cooperated to gradually return military power to the imperial power, and with the help of the civil service group
The center is all people promoted by the Crown Prince and His Majesty.
Therefore, no one criticized the prince's strong decision today.
I definitely have opinions in my heart.
I just don’t dare to say it.
After the sweet potato feast, Hang Min and Hang Yu, father and son, asked His Highness the Crown Prince without politeness for ten sweet potatoes, saying they would take them back for their family to try.
Zhu Jianji simply and generously gave ten to everyone present.
In order to make it easier to promote sweet potato cultivation, Zhu Jianji issued an order to send three sweet potatoes to every official in Beijing and those who came to Beijing to report on their duties.
The last time we went to sea, the trading company went to Luzon Island in Nanyang to buy a whole boat and brought it back.
It doesn't matter if you consume a little.
The ministers resigned.
Zhu Jianji kept Lin Cong, the Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of Industry, and Hang Min, the commander of the East Palace Military Research Institute. He originally planned to go back to the East Palace to discuss matters, but Zhu Qiyu glared, "Am I just a decoration?"
You also have to avoid me, you bastard, you and I are separated.
Zhu Jianji: "..."
Whatever.
Then take care of Lao Zhu, lest he achieve nothing and enjoy the success.
Return to Dongnuang Pavilion.
Zhu Qiyu is sensible and sensible, and is soft-spoken.
Leave the position of the royal desk to your son - he is already a mature, sensible and qualified emperor.
Zhu Jianji sat down and said with a smile: "Give me a seat for Mr. Lin and Mr. Hehang."
Both the government and the public are generally not optimistic about the Ministry of Agriculture, considering it a dispensable department. Therefore, although Lin Cong ranks as the ninth minister in the court, his status is actually not as good as that of the ministers of the other six ministries.
But only Zhu Jianji knew how important the Ministry of Agriculture of the feudal agricultural dynasty would play in the subsequent agricultural reform.
But there's a problem.
Lin Cong, Minister of Agriculture, had earlier supported Baozong.
When Zhu Qiyu deposed Zhu Jianshen, Lin Cong also clearly expressed his opposition. However, when Baozong launched a coup with a golden sword, Lin Cong did not support it. Instead, he revealed a lot of dissatisfaction in his daily words and deeds.
After all, the restoration of Baozong was indeed a bit unkind.
Zhu Jianji knew that Lin Cong's thoughts were similar to Yu Qian's.
Deeply admired.
Lin Cong is a man of right and wrong and a righteous mind.
And uncle Hang Min...
Already the most important force in the princelings, holding the Donggong Military Research Institute and the Ministry of Industry is an indispensable force in his various subsequent actions.
Both of them only sat half-full.
Zhu Jianji first said to Lin Cong: "The establishment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was already on the agenda before the expedition. Although it was not implemented in the end, did Lin Shangshu have any ideas?"
Having said this, he glanced at Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu spread his hands, "Do you blame me?"
Zhu Jianji rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Is it my fault?
The military power has been gradually regained, and the center of the court is basically someone newly promoted by our father and son. You don't know how strong this is, so it's no wonder that the ending of history is so tragic.
Lao Zhu, you are only suitable to be an idle king.
Well, he is still very competent as a father.
Lin Cong said: "Wei Chen has long thought about it. According to His Royal Highness the Prince's previous idea, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will be an independent department like the Ordnance Supervisor of the Ministry of Industry. It will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture. The selected officials will all come from local counties.
The government promotes county magistrates who are familiar with farming, so that there are many county magistrates, and recruits planting experts from all over the country... But what is the specific responsibility of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences?"
Zhu Jianji did not answer, "Is there anyone who can choose?"
Lin Cong was confident, "Although the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has not been established for a long time, Weichen has already selected officials, and experienced farmers need these officials to go to the country for selection."
Zhu Jianji said: "Shu Liang, bring paper and pen to Lin Shangshu. Lin Shangshu, you write it down and give it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs later. The structure of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is to draft one academic order, from the fifth rank, two deputy orders, and six senior orders.
Pin, Ambassador Cang and many officials were established in Gyeonggi Province to take charge of all affairs of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
Lin Cong recorded them one by one.
Zhu Jianji continued: "Because the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is in charge of agricultural matters, and the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and crops grown in different places, it needs to set up branches across the country. It is planned to set up a Jiangnan branch in Zhejiang, a Tianfu branch in Sichuan, and a Zhongnan branch in Henan.
The South Branch was established in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the North Branch was temporarily established in the capital. When the Jurchens in Liaodong no longer disturbed the border, the North Branch was moved to Liaodong. Each branch has one person in charge, the eighth rank, and many officials in charge. In addition, each branch has one person in charge.
Recruit old farmers, although they are not in the mainstream, but they are promoted as technicians, experts, full professors, associate professors, and academicians. Technicians enjoy the ninth-grade salary, experts enjoy the eighth-grade salary, full professors and associate professors enjoy the sixth-grade salary, and academicians enjoy the fourth-grade salary.”
Lin Cong hurriedly recorded them one by one.
Zhu Jianji added: "This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Personnel for implementation. The Ministry of Industry will be responsible for preparing to build the main hospital and branch institutions. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate one thousand acres of fertile farmland as experimental land in the five locations where the branch hospitals are located."
Lin Cong immediately accepted the order.
Zhu Qiyu immediately said to Shu Liang: "Go to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to deliver the decree. The content will be as per the prince's instructions."
Shu Liang immediately accepted the order.
Zhu Jianji pondered for a while and said: "The first project after the establishment of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was to study sweet potato cultivation. This matter was handed over to the Central Academy of Henan and the Tianfu Branch of Sichuan to be carried out at the same time."
I feel ashamed to say it.
Although Zhu Jianji eats sweet potatoes a lot, he doesn't know how to grow them.
But he had an impression.
In later generations, sweet potatoes seemed to be grown in Sichuan and Henan.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Lin Cong: "Lin Shangshu, although you are Jiu Qing, you must understand your own job. Gu has no special requirements for the Ministry of Agriculture. Although Lin Shangshu has the right to participate in national affairs, I still hope that Lin Cong
Shangshu can devote himself wholeheartedly to agricultural reform and strive to ensure that everyone in the Ming Dynasty can have enough to eat within ten years. In this way, Shangshu Lin's achievements will surely go down in history."
Let everyone in a feudal agricultural dynasty have enough to eat...
This is a great achievement.
It also has great strategic significance for the country.
Solving the food crisis means population explosion, and population explosion means prosperity of national power.
It is the foundation of an empire.
Lin Cong knew well that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and stood up, "Wei Chen is willing to go there in advance for His Highness's awe-inspiring wishes. I also ask for Your Highness's permission. Wei Chen will personally take the authority and serve as the Order of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
This means going down to the grassroots level to do practical things.
Zhu Jianji was overjoyed, "Good!"
If the Minister of Agriculture, one of the Nine Qings, personally handles all affairs of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the people below him will be more cooperative.
Lin Cong immediately resigned.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Because what Zhu Jianji said makes sense. If he presided over the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and really solved the food problem, this achievement would not be as famous as Yu Shaobao's efforts to save the building from collapse, but it would have the history of the Ming Dynasty and even thousands of years later.
Among them, the name Lin Cong is full of color.
This is the life ending that scholars dream of.
After Lin Cong left, Zhu Jianji looked at Hang Min and said, "Hang Shangshu, we may have many things to do next. First of all, the Ministry of Industry is going to establish an Academy of Engineering Sciences!"
Industrial development must be promoted by national power.
