Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 570 The yield per mu is [-] catties, the audience is shocked!

"do not Cry!"

"It's a mess, it makes us upset!"

"Don't you want the emperor to give you an explanation?"

"The emperor said that he wants you to go to the Academy of Engineering, where the emperor will give you an explanation."

Listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, these Hanlin academics stopped crying, you look at me, I look at you, and then a group of people ran towards the Academy of Engineering.

Since the emperor said that he would give them an explanation at the Academy of Engineering, why are they crying?
After all these academicians had left, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said to the people watching the excitement: "People of Daming, the emperor said that if you also want to know the ins and outs of the matter, you can go to the Academy of Engineering together."

When they heard that they could go to the Academy of Engineering to watch the excitement, these common people and businessmen in the capital became excited.

Join in the fun!

Who in the world can refuse to join in the fun?

Now Hanlin is weeping at the gate of the palace, and the situation inside is very exciting at first glance!
How could the people who eat melons in the capital of the Ming Dynasty give up such a good excitement, and spread it to ten, ten to a hundred, and a large group of common people and businessmen also went to the Academy of Engineering curiously. They also really wanted to know what happened to make these people The self-proclaimed noble Hanlin cried at the gate of the palace.

Soon, as the Hanlin arrived at the Academy of Engineering, a large number of onlookers also came, and many officials from the court and cabinet ministers also rushed here. If there were no Jin Yiwei guarding the scene, I am afraid that the Academy of Engineering would have become The food market is at the entrance.

The Imperial Academy looked at the people gathered around, and an old pedant couldn't help frowning: "The reason why I waited here is because the emperor wanted to explain to me and the scholars all over the world. Why are these people here?"

"Don't you want me to give you an explanation?"

"I deliberately let the people of the capital come to witness, why not?"

Following Zhu Youxiao's voice, the Imperial Academy and the onlookers saluted one after another:
"See the emperor!"

Zhu Youxiao walked over like a dragon and a tiger: "Excuse me, let's all get up."

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao looked at the countless onlookers around him, and at the academic scholars in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, these old scholars!
With a cold snort, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Have Zhou Jie's prisoners arrived yet?"

Zhao Tiejun said: "Back to the emperor, he has already arrived!"

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand: "Come to me."

"promise!"

Jin Yiwei pushed Zhou Jie and others to the edge of the test field one after another. Zhu Youxiao glanced at these bastards who were pushed to the ground in disgust, and then said: "Ming's ministers and common people."

"I called everyone here today to witness something."

"Wang Tigan, tell everyone what happened."

Wang Tiqian stood up and quickly explained the whole story.

An old pedant couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Then Wang Lichen, after all, he's just a lowly fellow!"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and dynasties have always been like this. When did a Hanlin official in my Ming Dynasty be convicted and sent to prison for beating a lowly craftsman who caused harm to the country and the people?!"

"The emperor treats talented people like this, how will the ministers and people of the world treat the emperor!"

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said, "A lowly student?"

"Wang Lichen is a Bachelor of Agriculture from the Academy of Engineering, a fourth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, and an academician of the Academy of Engineering!"

"Has he brought disaster to the country and the people?"

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

The old pedant got a slap in the neck: "I don't understand!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed more wantonly: "If you don't understand, I will let you understand!"

"Scholar Song!"

Song Yingxing immediately came out: "The minister is here!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the experimental field, then pointed to the onlookers, and said, "Scholar Song, you are also the person in charge of this experimental field, so I'll let you tell the big guys what you bachelors in agronomy from the Academy of Engineering are doing. "

Song Yingxing cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I am a Bachelor of Agriculture in the Academy of Engineering, following the emperor's order, to study agronomy, with the intention of increasing the grain yield per mu and increasing the rations of the people."

"After all, my Ming Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions and arable land is limited. I am a Bachelor of Agriculture who is experimenting with the yields of various crops planted in paddy fields, irrigated land, and dry land. At the same time, we are researching fertilizers and cultivating high-yielding crops."

"Wang Xueshi focuses on fertilizers. Now, under Wang Xueshi's research, a fertilizer that can greatly increase the yield per mu has been researched."

As he spoke, Song Yingxing pointed to the bright yellow wheat field in front of him and said, "Have you seen this experimental field?"

"The yield of wheat in this experimental field is more than 400 catties per mu! This is the effect of fertilizer studied by Wang Xueshi!"

"And Xueshi Wang is still researching the latest chemical fertilizer, which can increase the yield per mu again!"

Hearing Song Yingxing's words, the onlookers, whether they were businessmen or officials, began to discuss uncontrollably:
"It can produce more than 400 catties of wheat per mu? It's a lie, right?!"

"The emperor is here, how can it be false?"

"Wheat can really produce more than 400 catties per mu? This ten mu of land is more than 4000 catties of wheat! My God, Wang Xueshi is really amazing!"

Officials with a little knowledge and experience in prefectures and counties immediately realized the importance of this fertilizer. If it can really produce more than 400 catties per mu, it will prevent many people from starving to death and allow more people to have enough food!
If they can eat enough, the common people will farm honestly, and they will be able to rely on the surplus grain stored in disaster years to survive, so as not to become disaster victims and refugees, which will then cause chaos and riots.

Thinking back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, how did the Taizu rise up and provoke the rebellion of the Yellow River?

Wasn't it the catastrophe and drought at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people had nothing to eat, and countless people became victims of the disaster and were displaced, but the Yuan Dynasty was still extorting money, forcing the people to have nowhere to go, and this is why the 260-year history of the Ming Dynasty is now?

If there was a severe disaster and drought at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the common people had surplus food in their families, who would rebel if they could barely make ends meet?
Zhang Haogu listened to the discussions of the people around him, and said to Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei who were shocked by the mu yield: "Huang Xiang, Wei Xiang, you said that Wang Xueshi's research on chemical fertilizers is right, wrong, and wrong for the country." Is it a trick that harms the people, or a national treasure that benefits the country and the people?"

Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, Wei Guangwei still had some doubts: "Yuanfu, is the grain yield per mu really four hundred catties?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Now it's the time of harvest and busy farming, so you can know if the grain is [-] catties or not?"

Zhu Youxiao also had this idea, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, harvest the wheat fields, weigh them on the spot, and let the ministers, workers and common people see how much grain there is in this mu of land!"

Soon, the craftsmen of the Academy of Engineering began to harvest the wheat fields. They harvested the wheat crop by crop very skillfully, but judging by their clean movements, they were no worse than many old farmers.

This alone made the onlookers feel good:
These craftsmen with bachelor's degrees from the Academy of Engineering are really capable of doing farm work, not just citing classics and talking empty words.
