"Our family is waiting for the adults." Chen Hong said with a smile, and reached out and pulled Yu Maoheng aside.

Yu Maoheng was not unaware of Chen Hong's thoughts.

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and you can smell it with a little bit of slight breath.

Of course Yu Maoheng knew what Chen Hong wanted to do, but he avoided it.

It’s not because he doesn’t want to make friends with Chen Hong, nor because he looks down on Chen Hong.

The struggle in the court is so fierce now, and the ministers are fighting back and forth, and at this time, the benefits of making friends with a powerful eunuch in the palace are naturally self-evident.

But Yu Maoheng didn't plan to do this. He now has a clear positioning of himself. He is just a firecracker thrown out by His Majesty, and it is not time to explode.

At this moment, Chen Hong came to find him. Yu Maoheng didn't know what Chen Hong was going to do, but he followed him to the corner and looked at Chen Hong quietly, waiting for the other party to speak first.

"We come here to tell you something to Lord Yu." Chen Hong said with a smile.

"I don't know if it's Your Majesty's intention or Eunuch Chen's intention?" Yu Maoheng asked directly.

Yu Maoheng didn’t have to ask this, nor did he have a low emotional intelligence, but he had no choice but to ask.

If it was Chen Hong's business, then I could refuse, but if it was His Majesty's intention, then I had no way to refuse.

Chen Hong smiled, squinted his eyes and said, "Our family has no interest."

After hearing this, Yu Maoheng understood, and then smiled and said, "Please give me advice."

"I'm afraid I'll be a little uneasy these days. Lord Yu goes back and takes a good rest for a few days. If there is any discomfort in his body, let the imperial doctor take care of it." After Chen Hong said this with a smile, he bowed to Yu Maoheng.

The meaning is very obvious. You will stay honestly when you go back these days and don’t participate no matter what happens in the court.

Yu Maoheng instantly understood and said with a smile: "I'll thank you for that."

The two met for a short time and didn't say a few words. They basically seemed to say hello and then separated.

Chen Hong returned to the Qianqing Palace, while Yu Maoheng left the Forbidden City and returned to the Censorate.

The news of the dynasty meeting was naturally unconcealed. Not long after the dynasty was dispersed, the news spread across the officialdom.

For many middle and lower-level officials, they basically understood a few meanings.

One news is that Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Works, wanted to investigate the Ministry of Works. In this way, the Ministry of Works is in panic.

Another news is that Grand Secretary Han Dong is going to take over the case of Dongchang.

Some people are optimistic about this, believing that Zhao Nanxing and Han Dong are both their own people and things will get better; some are very pessimistic, thinking that something big will happen this time.

There are all kinds of ideas in the officialdom, but the specific situation depends on the development of the matter, so no one has expressed any opinions.

At this moment, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi standing in front of him and said with a smile: "Looking at my dear expression, I have a bit of a sense of eloquence. It seems that my dear life is good these days."

Xu Guangqi took a step forward and said gratefully: "It's all the kindness of Your Majesty."

After looking at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "No need to say this. I am looking for my dear today, mainly to ask about the matter over there, how are the training of the army?"

In fact, Zhu Youxiao has always paid attention to how the military training is doing there. Even if he doesn't ask Xu Guangqi, he is very clear in his heart.

But you have to know some things, you have to pretend not to know. You have to give your subordinates a chance to perform, and you can't force you to pretend.

When Xu Guangqi heard Zhu Youxiao ask about this, Xu Guangqi's face suddenly fluttered.

Xu Guangqi lived a good life during this period. With Qi Jin, the veteran general, present in the training, he didn't have to worry about anything at all.

Compared with Qi Jin, Xu Guangqi felt worse than himself, and at the same time he was very happy.

Why do you need to train yourself?

It is not because I like to train troops, but because the country is troublesome and the country is unstable. The country needs elite troops to be strong in the future to stabilize and defend the country.

Under such circumstances, even if my military training skills are not that outstanding, I am willing to do my best. This is what Xu Guangqi thought.

It's just that the idea is good, the reality is cruel.

In the face of cruel reality, my thoughts are vulnerable, which is why I was discouraged and published a question book about resigning.

But now Xu Guangqi saw hope. Although the election has just been completed, he has seen the potential of this army.

With 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers as the skeleton, the heroes selected from the 100,000 Beijing camps formed an army of more than 10,000 people.

It can be said that this is a very elite unit, with the best food, grass and military supplies, and the new firearms are developed by the Baigong Academy.

Xu Guangqi also went to the Baigong Academy to see it. After all, he is also an expert in firearms.

After watching it, Xu Guangqi was overjoyed.

That Bi Maokang is a talented person who not only has his own ideas, but also does things in an orderly manner.

When the two of them communicated with each other, it can be said that they both benefited a lot from each other. Even Bi Maokang admired Xu Guangqi very much and always treated Xu Guangqi as a teacher.

Old Xu made it easier for him to do things. In addition, His Majesty gave so much money, there was no restriction at all.

It is naturally very comfortable for Xu Guangqi to do things in such an environment.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and listened to him explaining the whole story in detail. Some parts even seemed a little nagging, but Zhu Youxiao did not show an impatient look, and listened with a smile from beginning to end.

Rather than saying that Xu Guangqi is talking about things, it is better to say that he is sharing his joy with himself.

This is what Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, was willing to see.

When Xu Guangqi finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao smiled and ordered Chen Hong, "Come on Xu Aiqing a bowl of tea."

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "I thank Your Majesty."

After talking for so long, he was indeed thirsty.

When Xu Guangqi finished drinking tea, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I came to find my dear today. Actually, there are a few things I want to discuss with you. Asking about training for soldiers is the first thing I do. I heard that things are going well, which is great."

"In addition, I have another thing," Zhu Youxiao said softly: "I heard that my dear has been studying agricultural affairs in Tianjin Wei!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao had known about this for a long time, and he also planned to use Xu Guangqi in his heart.

You should know that at this time point, food is a problem that can never be avoided.

Natural disasters will increase, and people's lives will become less and less difficult.

There is no way to deal with natural disasters. Although we can rely on the construction of water conservancy projects or something to supplement it, the reality is that the Ming Dynasty does not have that much money.

Even if you find a way to get the money yourself, it will not be a matter of overnight and you need to do it slowly.

Moreover, the productivity is low in this era, and such projects are not easy to do.

Besides, the main problem now is the small ice age, mainly the cold weather.

In this case, the best solution is to promote crops with high yields, short production cycles and strong resistance to natural disasters.

If there were no other ways in the past, but now there are many alien species, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, but they have not been promoted and many places are not known.

In this era, information dissemination is relatively slow, and no one at the middle and senior management is paying attention to this matter, and there is no policy promotion, so it only stops at small farmers learning by themselves.

This method is too slow and does not fit your own ideas at all, so you should promote it yourself to at least let the people have something to eat and survive the disaster.

At the same time, the food problem was solved, and many subsequent problems were solved.

Who was the best at this in the Ming Dynasty?

There is only one answer, that is Xu Guangqi.

What Zhu Youxiao valued most was actually this aspect, but it was not his talent for training troops or his talent for casting firearms.

People can be found to replace military training and firearms, but Xu Guangqi is the most suitable candidate for promoting crops.

First of all, Xu Guangqi likes to tinker with these things, secondly, he knows what he knows and is willing to do it.

You should know that this is probably a thankless thing that doesn’t show much credit and is thankless. Most people really don’t want to.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao’s question, Xu Guangqi said, “I am indeed doing this. A few years ago, I have come into contact with some crops from Nanyang and found that those crops have many advantages. Not only are they high yields, but they are also highly resistant to natural disasters. They can also be planted in many places.”

Zhu Youxiao also knows this, sweet potatoes and potatoes can be grown in many places.

Especially potatoes, so the popularity of these two crops can allow many useless land to grow grain, and the same is true for corn.

"Will your dear brother have any results in the past few years?" Zhu Youxiao asked as he looked at Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi also showed an excited expression on his face.

He now feels that His Majesty is really an extremely wise emperor. His Majesty has already paid attention to this matter before he reported it. It can be seen that His Majesty has a good vision!

Xu Guangqi introduced his experience in detail.

In Xu Guangqi's words, he has been planting for three years.

During Xu Guangqi's introduction, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Because Xu Guangqi has been breeding for the best in the past three years, after cultivation, the seeds can now be tested on a small scale.

This is Xu Guangqi’s credit!

Zhu Youxiao was immediately satisfied.

"In this way, my dear can try to plant on a large scale." Zhu Youxiao said, "As for the place, I am also ready. I can choose several imperial villages in the capital, and my dear can choose the place."

Xu Guangqi did not expect that His Majesty would take out the imperial village to do an experiment. That was His Majesty’s land, and it was the private income of His Majesty’s palace.

However, Xu Guangqi had to admit that this was the best way.

It is too difficult to use the fields of the people to do experiments, but the imperial village does not have these problems, because it is His Majesty’s private property.
