The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 166 Master Ye is the god here, Zhu Yuanzhang has to be convinced if he doesn't want to be convinced!
Under the blue sky and white clouds,

Under the mountains, there are hundreds of small two-story buildings with their backs facing the sea.

These brick and wood structures, two-story small buildings with black tile roofs, are backed by mountains and facing the endless golden plain rice sea.

Yanmen County is such a magical place with both mountains and hills and Pingchuan Basin!

So,
This kind of rare scene that can take a panoramic view of the mountains, forests and plains is everywhere here.

These hundreds of two-story buildings are the homes of farmers in this village.

The green hills behind them are their backing, and the golden plains and rice seas in front of them are their career and future.

At this time of harvest, apart from the elderly and children, there is only one rhubarb pastoral dog that not only guards the elderly but also accompanies the children in these houses, and there is no one else.

On both sides of the avenue that runs across the middle of this golden sea of ​​rice, there are many agricultural carts parked.

But among the many agricultural carts, there is a carriage with people and horses that looks very out of place.

outside the carriage,

Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and his party looked at the scene in front of them with expressions of horror.

"Is this still the place where the seedlings were planted?"

"Yes, it's here!"

"Look at these one-sided golden ears of rice, all of which have bent the stalks!"

"Golden and plump, it's really good."

"."

Looking at the scene in front of them, the boys in Jinyiwei were so excited that they began to express their impressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma would not write everything on their faces, but their hearts were indeed shocked by the scene in front of them.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, a senior farmer, although he was strongly implying to himself that he should not show his emotions or anger, his eyes were moistened in the blink of an eye with his expressionless face.

In Empress Ma's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slightly, lest tears betray his heart.

"Chongba, now there is no one around except us, you don't have to hide your inner thoughts so deeply."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang remember that the farmers hadn't started work yet, and they all gathered in the open space next to them, waiting for Master Ye to offer sacrifices to heaven.

This has been a tradition for thousands of years. Whenever there is a good harvest, one must first thank God before harvesting.

Zhu Yuanzhang just took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"

After saying a few words like this, he stopped talking and just looked at the golden rice sea with a smile on his face.

As far as Zhu Yuanzhang's experience in this area is concerned, he only needs to look at the rice to know the quality and yield. It is obvious that the yield per mu here is definitely not less than [-] catties, and may even exceed [-] catties!

Not only that, he also knew that the rice produced from these rice paddies was definitely top-grade white rice.

If these new rice varieties were extended to the entire Ming Dynasty, the people would really no longer be hungry.

But even so, he still has to wait until he finally gets the yield data per mu before fully believing it.

There is no other reason,

It's just because the credit has to be credited to Ye Qing who is mad at him.

"Your Majesty, the sacrifice to heaven has started over there, let's go and have a look too!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was making such calculations, Mao Xiang approached and reminded him.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Mao Xiang's gaze, and he saw a relatively large open space at the junction of the mountain and the plain rice-growing area.

Hundreds of peasants gathered in the clearing, waiting for the altar to be prepared.

As soon as they followed, they saw Ye Qing leading the people, solemnly praying to heaven.

A moment later, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was over, and Ye Qing ordered everyone to start harvesting.

At the same time, the yamen servants also began to set up tents here.

Ye Qing's tent, although it is a gazebo-style tent, also has the function of enclosing all sides, and it is not smaller than ordinary military tents.

Under the tent, the grand master's chair is placed in the middle, and the tea table is placed in front.

Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Ye Qing sitting on the grand teacher's chair, watching everyone busy in a very leisurely manner, and the attendants who accompanied him also served him without complaint or regret!

A servant girl prepares the fruit plate, and attends by the side!

An accompanying maid sat in front of the Kung Fu tea table on the right, not only providing them with high-quality drinks, but also providing them with beautiful tea ceremony performances.

The newly promoted housekeeper, Shen Wan'er, prepares the guzheng on the left, which not only provides them with auditory enjoyment, but also provides them with visual enjoyment.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled.

Angry!
What is this man here for?
In front of him is a beautiful and delicious fruit platter, and behind him there is someone who can help him squeeze his shoulders, thump his back and massage his head at any time.

Not only that, but the left side is for audio-visual enjoyment, and the right side is for visual and taste enjoyment!
What's the difference between this and Jiuchi Roulin?
The difference is that they haven't dug a hole in front of them, that's the difference!

"How dare he be so extravagant, or in front of the busy peasants?"

"What a credit to him, so great!"

"It's nothing more than a new rice seed that has been researched. One mu of land is equivalent to two mu of land in other places in Ming Dynasty!"

"It seems to be quite amazing"

That is to say, after all the people went to the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but whispered such words.

Empress Ma looked at this scene, but had a different feeling.

From his point of view, Ye Qing's mannerisms have nothing to do with the words 'extravagant and extreme desire'.

Empress Ma just said softly: "Those men in the Qinghuai River Brothel Street are called extravagant and extravagant."

"Have someone squeeze your shoulders, make a pot of tea, listen to someone play the piano, so what?"

"I know what you're thinking!"

"If it wasn't for that Miss Shen, who looks like the Fourth Miss of Mrs. Liu's family when she was young, playing the piano for Ye Qing, you shouldn't be so angry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.

Because of the reason why he was so angry, her sister really guessed half of it right!

But the fundamental reason that made him so angry was because Ye Qing was an official!

If he, Ye Qing, was just a simple rich businessman, at most he would be contemptuous, but Ye Qing is an official under Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it wasn't for these credits, he, Ye Qing, would have died long ago.

But because of these credits, he had no choice but to hold back the anger in his heart.

After the group of them were invited into the tent by Wu Yong, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing who was enjoying himself so much, and felt uncomfortable.

The key is that this person has no way of hospitality, he only cares about enjoying himself, and doesn't even look at them.

Seeing Ye Qing being so impolite, he seriously doubted that the two glasses of sober up milk this morning were not arranged by him, Ye Qing.

In fact, it was not arranged by him, it was arranged by Wu Yong for him!
If you let Ye Qing know that Wu Yong is making such a claim, it won't be enough if you don't peel off his skin!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who couldn't be more angry, said directly: "Master Ye, when we see you offering sacrifices to heaven, you are still very respectful!"

"You, Master Ye, do you have something to be in awe of?"

"In this case, why are you so disrespectful to His Majesty?"

"He is your real god!"

Ye Qing frowned immediately after hearing this.

The dynamic scene of a beautiful woman playing the piano, and the beautiful sound of playing the piano with jade fingers, are just polluted by the voice of a rough man.

Ye Qing said impatiently: "I'm so respectful!"

"Respecting the sky is not as good as respecting the earth. The earth is the place where food is produced."

"The reason why I did this is that I am too lazy to change their deep-rooted beliefs."

"To tell you the truth, in my opinion, I am the sky in their hearts. If it is not for me, whether they can live until now is still a question!"

"Is it useful to pray to God and worship Buddha?"

"Is it useful to worship heaven and earth?"

"If it's really useful, then there won't be so many natural disasters!"

"In the eyes of this official, there are only four words 'man will conquer nature'!"

"It's okay if you insist that His Majesty is the real heaven of this official, because this official is real and surpasses his so-called heaven in many aspects!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing simply closed his eyes, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang could bear this scene, and he was about to start furious denunciation.

But at this time, Shen Wan'er, who was playing the piano, immediately reminded: "Master Guo, our Master Ye is resting, if you still want to stay here, please don't talk, okay?"

Hearing such a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around again at nearly a hundred Yamen servants with knives.

Immediately afterwards, he nodded heavily, and then sat on the side, pouring tea cup after cup.

The time passed by Ye Qing's sleep, and soon it was time for lunch.

Also during this time,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who gradually calmed down, also figured out Ye Qing's words.

As far as Yanmen County is concerned, it is really better to worship Ye Qing than praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

If it weren't for him, Ye Qing, it's really not certain whether these people could survive until now!
It's true that man can conquer the sky, Ye Qing not only defeated the God above his head, but also defeated him, the "God Zhu" in many aspects!
Thinking of this, he really didn't want to be convinced, and he had to.

"Master Ye!"

"Lord Ye, good news, great news!"

"."

At this very moment,
An extremely excited voice came from the direction of the rice field.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stood up immediately after hearing such a voice, looking at the direction the voice came from, their eyes full of anticipation.

Only Ye Qing remained calm, as if he had already known the good news!
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, please recommend tickets, monthly tickets, and reward support, thank you!
