Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 84 The Theory of Escalation

Today's Xumi Illusion World is no longer a wasteland. It was built by Lao Zhu as his daily office. Even in Lao Zhu's conception, the entire six departments of the imperial court, the prefectural court, the Dali Temple, etc. will be successively in the future. The central administration will move in.

After all, one day can be used as three days here. Lao Zhu must think that it is quite cost-effective to use one day as three days and only pay one day's salary.

Of course, as the court is getting richer and richer now, Lao Zhu should not be so stingy anymore, just staring at the three walnut dates.

But the extra time is real. For the complex central institutions of the imperial court, sometimes time represents life.

Some reports, if handled one day earlier, could potentially save countless lives.

Of course, the relocation of these institutions is only in the plan and has not been implemented. Now, there are only two departments that have really entered the Xumi Illusion World together with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Imperial Academy and Academy of Sciences.

The Imperial Academy is now used by Lao Zhu as a secretarial agency. Later, the Ming Dynasty formed a customized cabinet system. Although Lao Zhu has not copied it for the time being, he has consciously used it to limit the power of the prime minister.

Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are all outstanding talents selected from across the country, all newcomers, and all of them are high-spirited.

These people are not high-ranking officials.

But they have the right to object.

Now all the reports to the imperial court, Li Shanchang, the right prime minister, must be collected in the Hanlin Academy, and the three Hanlins personally selected by Zhu Yuanzhang will lead the people to summarize, discuss, and approve.

This is both learning and experience.

Important documents, or reports of disagreements between the Imperial Academy and the Prime Minister should be handed over to the Emperor Yulan.

Since then, the power of the prime minister has been greatly weakened, and because the Hanlin Academy is rapidly changing, those who show their talents will be released to become officials after a few years of experience, and it will not be too big.

Zhu Biao felt that this system was quite good.

Compared with the secret arts of the Hanlin Academy, the Academy of Sciences appears to be more pure.

This is an institution that studies various technologies.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed the power of science and technology with his own eyes. Artillery, firearms, iron and steel smelting, sugar making, and salt making. After these technologies were introduced into today's early Ming Dynasty, they played a huge role in making this man trampled by the iron hoofs of nomads. The riddled rivers and mountains recovered quickly.

Moreover, the advanced weapons in the late Ming Dynasty also played a great role in the continuous use of troops on the frontier in the past few years.

In the original history, whether it was Gansu or Sichuan, or Mongolia in the north, or Yunnan in the south, there are still wars today, and some places even use heavy troops.

It is precisely because of the use of arquebuses and red cannons that the Quartet can be leveled a few years in advance, and the world can be completely peaceful.

Lao Zhu sees all of this in his eyes, especially now that he has entered the late Qing Dynasty and saw the foreigners' strong ships and cannons with his own eyes, he has paid more and more attention to science and technology.

The fact that the Academy of Sciences and the Imperial Academy can be stationed in the Xumi Illusionary Realm as a consulting agency fully demonstrates this.

After Zhu Biao entered the Xumi Illusion Realm today, he also turned into the Academy of Sciences for the first time.

Under the guidance of the attendant, he quickly entered a farmland. An old man dressed as an old farmer was busy in the field, and Zhu Biao didn't even notice when he came in.

"Cough cough!" The attendant coughed twice, which caught the old man's attention.

"Ping'an has seen His Highness!" When the old peasant got up, Zhu Biao saw clearly that this was actually the Taoist priest of Ping'an of Gezao Mountain.

Now that he has taken off his Taoist uniform and put on peasant clothes, he almost didn't recognize it.

"Daoist Ping An, you are...!" Zhu Biao asked in confusion.

He remembered that although Zhu Yuanzhang forced the people of Sanshan Daomen to join the Academy of Sciences, and set a three-year restriction, but the research was in the direction of spiritual power. How did he come here to do farm work.

"His Royal Highness, I am proficient in alchemy, and naturally I know how to handle herbs, and I have also studied agriculture in depth."

"When I was young, I also studied with Mr. Wang Zhen and Mr. Wang for a few years." Ping An could not help explaining Zhu Biao's doubts with a smile.

Wang Zhen and Zhu Biao naturally knew that this was a famous agricultural expert in the Yuan Dynasty, and the agricultural books written by him were widely circulated and played a huge role in the development of agriculture in later generations.

It is a pity that although this old gentleman had a long life and almost lived to be a hundred years old, he died in the early years of Hongwu.

Zhu Biao has always felt a pity for this. If this old gentleman can wait for another two years to recover his spiritual energy, he might be able to rejuvenate himself again.

Zhu Biao sighed in his heart and said: "You let someone report that you have made a major discovery, and I came here specially for this today!"

"Please come with me, Your Highness!"

Ping An took Zhu Biao into the backyard, where rice was also grown.

However, the rice here is divided into many different sections, and each section is marked!
"His Royal Highness, please see, this is the experimental field made by Lao Dao."

"Each field here is the growth environment of rice under the same soil quality and different spiritual environment."

Zhu Biao glanced at it, and could naturally see that there were indeed some slight differences between the rice.

But now the aura is too thin after all, so the gap doesn't seem to be big.

"Let's talk about the conclusion directly!" Zhu Biao said.

"The conclusion is that it takes longer for rice to mature in an environment with more aura, and the yield is lower, but the quality is better!"

"Even a very small number of rice will be upgraded!" Ping An said.

"What is promotion?" Zhu Biao heard this name for the first time.

Just as some talented people in human beings will naturally open up the sea of ​​​​qi, some rice will also naturally transform into spiritual rice.

I call this phenomenon of changing the level of life an ascension.

"You mean you made Lingmi?" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

"Unfortunately, it's not!"

A trace of regret flashed in Ping An's eyes: "Rice that has been upgraded in the natural environment will have a developed root system and a longer lifespan, but it will rarely bear ears again."

"Like these!"

Ping An pointed to the rice in the experimental field next to him and continued: "It looks exactly the same as ordinary rice, but in fact, they have lived for four or five years. If my expectations are correct, they can continue to live. Until they bear ears of grain."

"Is it still rice then?" Zhu Biao was speechless.

"What do you mean, if the spiritual energy continues to recover, not only will the Ming Empire not usher in a bumper harvest, but there may even be a food shortage?" Zhu Biao had a feeling of subverting the three views.

"It's not that serious!"

"Because if you want to convert all rice into spiritual rice, the aura environment required is too harsh in theory, and it is almost impossible to achieve."

"However, the reduction in rice production is certain."

"His Royal Highness, this matter is a rule discovered by chance, and it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The old man thinks that it is of great importance, so he reported it as soon as possible!" Ping An respectfully said.
