Chapter 20                                                                                                                             �

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he has supervised the Jinyiwei. However, what the Jinyiwei is best at today is still killing people, or adding one more thing is to search the house.

Many fine things are done very hard, such as burying stakes. On the contrary, many of Jin Ying's methods are relatively delicate. At least there is a simple but operational intelligence network in southern Xinjiang, Vietnam, old ports, Malacca, and other places. Many of Zhu Qizhen's information on seas were reported by Jin Ying's Dongchang.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen no longer cared about one or two lives.

However, now there is a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the thorns. Zhu Qizhen also needs to prepare, and the thorns also need to prepare.

Therefore, although it was embarrassing to be plotted against by Wats, Zhu Qizhen did not lose his mind. He was furious for a moment and ruined his long-prepared plan.

Therefore, if Bafahan is an ordinary person, Zhu Qizhen would just ask, but he is the deputy envoy of Watanabe, so he should pay attention to the methods.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that Ma Shun had a very delicate time this time and said, "Your Majesty, I was very careful when I tortured Bafahan. Bafahan definitely had no external injuries. The coroner of Ren's family could not see any clues."

Ma Shun added in his heart and said to himself: "Those who can see it also know that this is the Jinyiwei's technique, and they know what to say and what not to say."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Not bad."

Zhu Qizhen was trying to find a way to cure Ma Shun, such as slapping the deputy envoy and taking care of the prison for a few days. Anyway, the living environment in the prison was dying due to illness, which was normal.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen felt that he didn't want to break up with Yexian, and Yexian probably didn't want to break up with him. As long as it was not too much, both sides would have a tacit understanding.

However, the Jinyiwei did a good job this time. Zhu Qizhen was relieved.

Then Zhu Qizhen became serious and said, "The Forbidden City is my heart's heart. It actually has the eyes and ears of thorns. This is definitely not possible. Wang Daban, you will catch this matter yourself and dig three feet of the ground at all costs. You must also dig out this."

"Otherwise, Wang Daban won't have to worry about the future affairs in the harem."

When Wang Zhen heard this, he immediately rushed to the ground and said, "Please rest assured by your Majesty."

No matter what, Wang Zhen is the number one eunuch. Many of the things in the palace are under the control of General Wang Zhen. If something happens, how can Zhu Qizhen not find him?

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go and do things quickly. Before I come back from Hebei, I must know the result."

"Yes." The two answered in unison.

This incident did not stop Zhu Qizhen's pace, but even accelerated Zhu Qizhen's pace. After all, the investigation in the Forbidden City is inevitably in chaos.

Or some people have other thoughts, Zhu Qizhen is about to go out, but after he comes back,

Adjust the defense.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't see the burning flame in Wang Zhen's eyes.

It was originally a simple investigation into the spy, but instead it caused a big wave of inspiration.

In early March, Zhu Qizhen ordered the empress to supervise the state, and the court affairs were dealt with by the cabinet, and the major matters were reported to the place where they were located. The minor matters were handled by themselves.

Although Zhu Qizhen did not say about Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen listened to the queen for a while and answered the questions about the memorial for the queen.

Then, Zhu Qizhen brought more than 10,000 Beijing troops, all of whom were elite troops in the army. Weiyuan Bo Fang Jin, Guo Deng, Mao Rui and others guarded the lord south.

It can be said that Zhu Qizhen brought all the elite generals in the Southern Army, which is also a safety for these generals and shows the emperor's trust in them.

In the Battle of Urianha, they didn't catch a single hair. Instead, they were shocked to see Duke Cheng and others becoming more and more promising.

Just a little comfort.

Zhu Qizhen went east along the Lugou New River.

This embankment has been used for several years and has been stained with traces of time. Zhu Qizhen summoned the old people he had met at the beginning, but many of the old people back then were gone.

However, I heard from them that although there have been many locust droughts in recent years, they have harvested on the Lugou River. Life is not as good as before, but it is still acceptable.

When asked about the harvest this year, I said that although it was drought, it had improved compared with previous years. At least it snowed last winter, and there were a few rains this year.

Although the rain is very small, like a cat pee, it also makes the crops feel wet. This year's harvest should be better than in previous years.

Zhu Qizhen personally inspected the wheat fields.

The wheat in the third month of the lunar calendar has begun to grow.

Looking at the green wheat and rushing up, Zhu Qizhen was also much happier.

Although this piece of wheat was placed in later generations, I would definitely think that the wheat grew up too ugly, sparse, yellow and small. After all, without fertilizer, the fields are not fertile enough, and even if they are planted in large quantities, they cannot grow, so the distance between the wheat is much larger than now.

In recent years, Zhu Qizhen has been insisting on spring plowing.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen was just doing it, and he was rarely there when he actually went to the land, but when the eunuchs were farming, Zhu Qizhen watched.

Zhu Qizhen must at least make sure that he is not an idiot in agriculture.

After all, the main group of people in the Ming Dynasty were farmers, and the largest industry was agriculture. It is absolutely impossible to control such an agricultural country without a basic concept of agriculture.

Not to mention anything else, Zhu Qizhen could see that the biggest problem with these lands is the lack of fertilizer. After all, the lands planted by Zhu Qizhen in the palace can be said to be full of favors. In order to show his performance in front of Zhu Qizhen, the eunuchs can say that they almost treat every wheat seedling as a flower to serve.

Zhu Qizhen also saw him and never expected that the high-yield technology of ancient agriculture

The technique is the method of zoning. The wheat yield per mu in the north is between two and three stones, but the field in the palace actually has as many as five or six stones.

This is the cleverness of the Qutian Law.

Zhu Qizhen was also shocked at the time, but later he realized that this thing was found in the Han Dynasty, but it was too troublesome, too troublesome, too troublesome.

There is only one piece of land in the palace, which can be done without any consideration.

Even if a strong laborer is in the field for twenty-four hours, he cannot manage five acres of land. He still needs sufficient water, fertilizer, etc.

Ordinary people cannot achieve it at all. This is why the District Field Law has been passed down for more than a thousand years and everyone knows that it is highly productive, but almost all dynasties have not implemented it much.

The biggest shock to Zhu Qizhen was that agricultural reform has never been a problem of agriculture, at least in ancient times, there were many high-yield technologies.

For example, in water conservancy projects, if you can water the wheat once before ripening, you can harvest more wheat. Any farmer knows that, but this is the time of spring drought in the north. How can you ensure that every acre of land can be watered once at that time?

This is the big problem that Zhu Qizhen wants to solve.

Zhu Qizhen traveled from Beijing to Tianjin for more than 100 miles. After three days, he inspected agricultural production. Most of the fertile fields around Beijing were noble. These fields were not enough to be used as observation objects. Instead, the lower reaches of the Lugou River, which had been flooded before, could provide enough samples.

He even provided Zhu Qizhen with other samples.

For example, the speed at which the nobles expand their fields.

Before the Lugou River was managed, this land was flooded with water every year, with very little harvest, almost a wasteland, but now it is the place where the Lugou River water conservancy is the most popular.

And the nobles are like shadows, and there are already some nobles.

Zhu Qizhen also asked, it was a legal transaction, and there was no violation of the rules. But it was precisely because of everything that was legal and compliant that Zhu Qizhen was even more worried.

You don't have to think about it and continue to develop like this.

In less than a few decades, Hebei will transform from a granary of the Ming Dynasty into a granary of nobles.

The innate stubborn disease of ancient Chinese agricultural countries was recognized by Zhu Qizhen for the first time, forcing Zhu Qizhen to think of a problem.

Emperor Taizu used almost cruel means to destroy all the wealthy families with a land of more than 3,000 mu. Zhu Qizhen even remembered that Emperor Taizu had a booklet, recording all families with a land of more than 3,000 mu in the world and putting them at the hands of Emperor Taizu.

At this cost, a huge empire with a complete Jiali system and a small peasant economy as the main focus. How long can it last?

Others don’t know, but Zhu Qizhen saw this mere land change, but he felt like he saw history. He also saw the Ming Dynasty at its peak.
