This year is not very comfortable, at least for those Beijing officials who celebrate the New Year in Beijing. Ouyang's family is critically ill, and the huge and strict party members Yan Shifan, Zhao Wenhua, Wu Peng and the officials at the bottom all looked sad.

Everyone knew that good days were probably coming to an end, and even officials from the Yan Party knelt down in the Yan Mansion to pray for blessings.

This news is a blessing from heaven for Xu Jie's party, and it can be said that it is a fortune from the sky. Even Xu Jie was a little at a loss and worked hard to make a fuss about Hu Zongxian. He was still unable to understand the rules and made up his mind to attack Huanglong!

But... you are about to fall before I can exert force?

In the original time and space, Xu Jie had to pretend to be a grandson for more than two years.

The consequence of this was that Xu Fan was arrogant and domineering and was heard by Yan Nian, the housekeeper of the Yan family... Then, Yan Shifan came to the door and gave Xu Fan four big slaps in front of Xu Jie's family.

There was no way, Xu Jie had no shame to stop him. Xu Fan openly said on the street that those three... were finally dead!

When scolding her mother, Xu Jie thought that Yan Shifan was polite to only give four slaps in the face.

Since then, Xu Jie and his party have kept their breath away. Yan Donglou is not easy to mess with at this time.

As for those officials who were neither Yan Song nor Xu Jie's party members, they just had nothing to do with their own affairs, but they were all very good at it.

So, in the first lunar month, the entire capital was quietly waiting for something.

But the days passed day by day. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the seal was opened and court was held. Emperor Jiajing went around and returned to Xiyuan.

"The writing of Wenchang is getting more and more sophisticated, and Qingci is getting to the next level." Emperor Jiajing praised: "If it weren't for the fact that the qualifications were still very low, the Hanlin Bachelor's degree would be qualified."

Xu Wei smiled and replied, "I dare not be praised by Your Majesty, but if one day I take charge of Hanlin affairs, I will definitely return Zhan to the Hanlin Academy."

"Then Zhan Cai would rather resign and retire." Emperor Jiajing clicked Xu Wei and said with a smile: "Okay, youngster ambush in front of me. He returned to Beijing... The Ministry of Revenue wants to rob it."

Xu Wei was about to make some interesting words when Huang Jin came over to report: "The Jinyiwei, the son of Jingshan Hou, commander of Jianshi Cui Yao, cried and asked for a visit at the entrance of Xiyuan."

Emperor Jiajing frowned, "What's the matter?"

Huang Jin was not very clear. Although he was in charge of the East Factory, the East Factory was now suppressed by the Jinyiwei, and the information outside the palace was not very well-informed.

Emperor Jiajing had a headache. You should know that Cui Yuan, who was the one who was in charge of the golden fu, welcomed him to the capital and inherited the throne. Later, he was granted the title of the King of Jingshan, and he also made great efforts in the big ceremony.

Moreover, Jingshan Hou’s wife is Princess Yongkang, who belongs to the royal family.

Huang Jin glanced at Xu Wei's expression and asked tentatively: "Wen Chang knows?"

Xu Wei hesitated and looked at Emperor Jiajing, then hesitated and said: "Cui Jianshi and Zhancai are not in line with each other..."

"explain!"

"Yesterday, I was watching the lanterns at night. Many people in the Cui Mansion were holding big red lanterns and swaying outside the Yan Mansion's door. Yan Donglou... came to the door."

Emperor Jiajing was also speechless. What kind of brain was so bad that he went to provoke Yan Donglou at this time?

However, Emperor Jiajing was also unhappy. You, Yan Donglou, beat the son of the second assistant in the cabinet, and now you are not even ruthless in the nobles?

Huang Jin asked curiously: "Cui Jian's affairs are not in line with Zhancai?"

Xu Wei coughed twice and said nothing. Emperor Jiajing said angrily: "Zhan Cai's mouth is not born. Cui Qing was scolding Qian Fu before he died of illness!"

This is a pit dug by Qian Yuan, the great-grandfather of Hetan, Qian Fu. His mouth is too broken and poisonous. Can you control who the princess marry? I have to say that the princess is unbearable.

Huang Jin went out to send Cui Yao away, and when he came back, he reported: "Huang Maoguan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Younian, the Chief of the Ministry of Revenue, Hu Yingjia, the Minister of the Censorate, and Lu Yipeng, the Censor of the Censorate, asked for a meeting."

Emperor Jiajing nodded. It happened to be New Year's Eve when Huang Maoguan and his party returned to Beijing. Today, they opened their seal and summoned them immediately.

"Your Majesty, I would like to sue you first."

"Stay." Emperor Jiajing snorted lazily, "Some people in the court have called Suiyuan a party. No party is not necessarily public, and becoming a party is not necessarily private."

Emperor Jiajing actually didn't care about this. In fact, the party disputes in the history of the Ming Dynasty began at the end of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Huang Maoguan and the other four walked into the back hall, bowed one by one, and said, "Long live the words."

Xu Wei retreated aside and listened to Huang Maoguan's remarks about going south to check everything. In fact, he had already made the decision... Huang Maoguan visited Qian Zheng, the Tongzheng envoy on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and had a meal in Suiyuan.

"I have seen twelve places in Taizhou, Shaoxing and Ningbo. I have seen each acre of harvest weighing each acre. My ministers weighed them with their own hands, and they weighed about twelve to fourteen stones."

"Ask the local old farmers in detail, in fact, they can be harvested in mid-September, and the yield per mu is about fifteen to eighteen stones."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Wei squintedly, and Huang Jin smiled and said, "I boasted about twenty stones that day. Your Majesty once said that it was not enough to provide for the purpose of replenishing talents."

Lu Yipeng and Chen Younian couldn't help but look at Xu Wei, who laughed dryly and didn't say anything.

Huang Maoguan also said: "Farmers from Luzon Island, South China Sea, look at the southeast climate and acres of land. They say that they can cultivate from February to March in the southeast, and harvest in July and August, or the per mu of production capacity is up to twenty stones."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes slowly fell on Hu Yingjia. This was his usual trick. He knew very well that Hu Yingjia was Xu Jie's man, and Xu Jie and Qian Yuan had parted ways.

The most important thing is that Suiyuan made a big fuss in the six departments, and Hu Yingjia was beaten to the point of his nose and his face was covered with blood. This person would not be a party to Suiyuan.

Hu Yingjia stepped out with a calm expression and bowed, "I have checked it myself. The sweet potatoes yield twelve to fourteen stones per mu. The potatoes have not seen it with their own eyes. As for the yield twelve stones per mu, they will be checked again after one season."

In fact, let alone twenty stones, fourteen stones are already high enough. Emperor Jiajing was a little excited. He tacitly agreed to Qian Yuan to trade because he had no money, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange thing!

Emperor Jiajing knew very well what sweet potatoes and potatoes could bring to him... The emperor, who had been practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal for nearly forty years, now his greatest hope is nothing more than his reputation behind him.

How will the historical books describe it if it can increase production several times?

But the people are alive, how do future generations view themselves?

Although I had seen memorials with a positive attitude, until now, Emperor Jiajing finally felt relieved and his breathing became heavy.

Suppressing his excitement, Emperor Jiajing forced himself to calm down and smiled and said, "What else?"

Huang Maoguan turned his head and looked at it, "Chen Younian, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, visited all three palaces, and investigated the most in detail."

"Another scholar in Suiyuan." Emperor Jiajing saw Chen Younian's appearance and nodded with a smile, "Everyone in the capital is spread, and all the heroes in Suiyuan are there."

"Thank you for your praise." Chen Younian bowed and said, "Because there are many rivers in the southeast, drought tolerance has not been seen; there are many mountains in the southeast, and mountainous areas in the southeast, it is easy to cultivate. The Ministry of Revenue plans to select land to be tried in the northeast, northwest, and southwest, and then make a decision after one season."

Emperor Jiajing rubbed his eyebrows, "I remember Zhan Caiyan... can he replace the grains?"

Xu Wei, who was standing beside him, whispered, "Your Majesty, it is the memorial of Tang Shunzhi, the prefect of Ningbo."

"Is there any difference?" Emperor Jiajing sneered: "Zhan Cai is capable. Tang Jingchuan was a great scholar of the times and was used as a gun envoy."

"It's enough to fill your stomach." Chen Younian said frankly, "Initially, in Pengxi Town, Taizhou, people ordered people to feast sweet potatoes, roast, stew, steam, and cook. Later, they saw potatoes, and they could eat more ways to eat them, which could indeed replace grains."
