At this time, Fang Jifan gave Zhang Xin a wink.

Zhang Xincai reacted in a daze. He remembered something. He was a little dull. Fang Jifan reminded him and knew what to do.

So Zhang Xin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I... I dare not take credit for it. I am the Xinjian Bo who asked the humble to do whatever he was, and he would do whatever he was humble to do. I had no credit, but I had some hard work."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan and looked at Zhang Xin again.

Especially Zhang Xin's premature appearance, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Potatoes... can be grown in Liaodong and the desert...

If so, this is a strange thing. If it is true as Fang Jifan said, without any discount, how much grain can be produced in Liaodong with so much land?

With food, are you still worried that you can't attract refugees?

Resettlement of refugees... Rest and recuperate... Recruiting military horses...

As the king of a country, Emperor Hongzhi had already thought of great achievements from a potato.

Then, his eyes opened and he looked at Fang Jifan in shock. He suddenly remembered that Fang Jifan seemed to have mentioned to him the solution to the desert problem completely.

There is no food in the world, no food in the world, no food in the world, no food in the world is unstable!

It took a long time for Emperor Hongzhi to recover from this shock.

Then, he stared at Zhang Xin directly, looking at Zhang Xin's face, he couldn't believe that the son of the British Duke had become like this.

All of a sudden, he realized it.

Why... first there are sweet potatoes, then potatoes.

This is not just luck, but just... Fang Jifan is a genius as simple as this.

But because, in this Ming Dynasty, there were many places where rich people were smelly of wine and meat, and many people were born with wealth and wealth, and grew up with golden spoons in their hands, not knowing the sufferings of the people. They were not only greedy, but also squandered the people. They also harmed the people. They were unable to tell the rules of the court and regarded the laws of the court as nothing. They advocated the wealthy and food, and were ashamed of being ashamed.

But……

There will also be a group of people who have the same origin as the former, but they are like Fang Jifan and Zhang Xin, gathered in the western mountains. They only care about bowing their heads and doing things. They work hard among the fields and ridges, not luxurious, but what they have in their hearts is the world.

When he arrived at Xishan, Emperor Hongzhi saw many imperial guards along the way.

All of these guards have good backgrounds, but Emperor Hongzhi also saw that they may be better than Zhang Xin, but they are all dark-skinned and dirty.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

He unexpectedly patted Zhu Houzhao on the shoulder and said, "Your luck is better than mine!"

He suddenly realized that there was never a shortage of loyal and loving people in the world. Even if they came from a high school, they still believed that through themselves, they could change the world.

Today... he actually discovered that the potatoes that can be grown in the desert and Liaodong, as the staple food, are not important even if they can produce three or five stones per mu. What is important is that he saw hope here.

What a simple group of children.

Their ancestors once made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but now here, they are still like their ancestors, relying on the West Mountain to serve their loyalty to the country and the people.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, but smiled at Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Father, my son is not very lucky."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and couldn't help but look confused.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he was trying to die and almost let it go. He just stewed beef and his father came. Is this luck good?

Of course, he couldn't continue talking anymore, so he stammered.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's strange appearance and suddenly felt that his good mood had been greatly reduced. This guy appeared in a place like Xishan, which was simply dazzling. Look at him, why didn't he study hard?

Emperor Hongzhi came today not to rectify this guy, so he didn't plan to pay attention to this naughty child anymore. He looked down in the ridge outside the greenhouse. The snow on the ridge melted and the mud was exposed.

But after looking at Zhang Xin, who was covered in dirty and mud, Emperor Hongzhi actually sat directly on the ridge of the field.

His sudden action made Liu Jian and others say: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just mud."

Zhu Houzhao stuck out his tongue. He wanted to tell his father that in fact... he often came here to fertilize, so... there were always some strange things, of course, he didn't dare to say them.

This was the first time Emperor Hongzhi sat in such a place, and his expression was pleasant. He waved his hand and said to the ministers: "Sit down, sit down. Don't you say that every grain of food on the plate is hard? The children are not afraid to do what they are doing. Why don't you dare to sit here?"

After saying this, Liu Jian stretched out his face and laughed, "Your Majesty is very much." After that, he sat down.

The emperor and Liu Gong both sat down, what else could everyone say? All the ministers sat down on the ground.

"Houzhao, come and sit beside me." Emperor Hongzhi waved at Zhu Houzhao, and showed a rare easy-going look on his face to this son.

Zhu Houzhao said with a tragic expression: "I'll stand, I'll stand. How dare I sit in front of my father?"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care, but instead smiled at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Jifan, then you can sit down."

Fang Jifan said with a righteous attitude: "Your Majesty, I am just a junior. Even if your Majesty is so kind, everyone here is my elders. If I sit down and feel uneasy, just sit down with you and your uncles. I feel comfortable standing."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded again: "Yes, I'm getting more and more polite."

While everyone was not paying attention, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, and their eyes were mostly warning each other, and they must not tell the truth.

After seeing the other party's sure look, the two of them suddenly felt relieved.

At this time, Hongzhi smiled and said, "When I come to this western mountain, I feel as comfortable as I am at my own home. This is a good place." He looked at Liu Jian and others and said, "If you have time, you should come here for a longer time. Maybe you will have other insights. Your children and nephews can also come and see Zhang Xin and the others...are they here?"

Liu Jian's heart was already mixed, and he couldn't help but think that my son Liu Jie had already come, and now he seems to be crazy all day long, and he knows to run here.

Xie Qian smiled at this time, "Your Majesty, the minister Xie Pi is studying and preparing for the 16th year of examination."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi remembered that Xie Qian's son Xie Pi was an amazing child. It is said that he participated in the provincial examination two years ago and ranked first. He was Jieyuan, Zhejiang. Xie Qian was very proud of this son. Almost everyone expected that this kid was on the gold list and it was just a matter of time.

In fact, Xie Pi in history won the Tanhualang in the 18th year of Hongzhi. He then served as the Left Minister of Personnel and was awarded the Minister of Rites. In history, father and son were praised as a legend.

Of course, Xie Qian was proud. His son was so awesome. He was very similar to himself. He was excellent in everything. He was the top scorer and Jie Yuan. If he was not sure, he could earn another top scorer for the Xie family.

How could such a son come here to work as a farmer? It would be too late to study with peace of mind.

Ma Wensheng also smiled slightly and said, "The Dogzi Ma Feng has already passed the exam and is also reviewing his homework."

Although Ma Wensheng's son is not as good as Xie Qian's son, he is still very promising at least.

Wang Ao stroked his beard and smiled. His nephew is already a second-class Jinshi. Of course, he must be low-key. Fang Jifan is here. If this guy cried and said that his disciple exam would be embarrassing, Wang Ao was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something and said to Liu Jian: "Don't the Liu Qing family have a son, is he named Liu Jie?"

Liu Jian complained in his heart, he was really afraid of anything he was afraid of. Other people's sons are at least juren, and his own sons are just scholars. They can't raise their heads to be a human being. Recently, they ran to the West Mountain happily. Don't you understand the implication of Xie Qian and others? That is to say, their sons have a bright future in the future. Why do they come to the West Mountain? As scholars, of course, fame and fortune are important.

But when the emperor asked, Liu Jian had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, the dog..."

"I know." Emperor Hongzhi seemed to understand him very much: "Can you let Liu Qing's son come to the west mountain? This west mountain is really good. Where can men not have fame?"

Liu Jian's old face turned red, and he swept away the light from the corner of his eyes, Xie Qian and others, and said seriously: "My son is also preparing for the exam. The most important thing for scholars is to read the books of sages."

Xie Qian and others nodded one after another, saying that Liu Gong was indeed polite. This is right. Here in the West Mountain... is a bit strange. It is said that a new school has been made here, which is inappropriate. Don’t miss someone’s children. Liu Gong’s son Liu Jie, although he is not lucky and missed repeatedly, he has the same father as his son. Well... he will have a future.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be able to understand them, and they were all serious scholars, so they nodded.

Suddenly, firecrackers sounded.

A strong man rushed over and said, "Thousands of households, thousands of households... The auspicious time has come... It's..."

"arrive……"

Everyone was immediately cheered up.

It's time to start harvesting potatoes.

Zhang Xin's eyes glowed. Although he had collected several acres of land before, the densely planted several acres of land had not moved, so he wanted to see the effect.

Fang Jifan also cheered up, but he looked at Emperor Hongzhi first.

Emperor Hongzhi was also anxious. He stood up and patted the mud on the back of his tun with his hand.

Zhu Houzhao kept staring at his father's hand, watching him patting the 'tun department', and his hands were also covered with mud. Subconsciously, Zhu Houzhao shivered. He decided to keep a secret well and never tell it if he beat him to death in his life.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Care it, I want to see how much this thing can produce!"

"Abide by the order!"
