I want to be a grandson

Chapter 389 Craving for Spicy

Such a corrupt and notorious person, what kind of face does he have to stand above the court, and what kind of face is he to be the head of us? !This official is really ashamed to be in the company! "

"Therefore, this official feels that the Holy Duke should be dismissed, and a person with both virtues and talents should be chosen, so as to live up to the expectations of the world!"

As soon as he finished his words, the hall was silent, without a single sound.

Everyone understands that such a Yan Shenggong is indeed a disgrace!

But if you want to dismiss him and choose someone else, everyone didn't react for a while.

After all, the influence of Kong Shengren is too great, and even the Kong family has a lot of prestige.

No one dares to confront the Kong family head-on, if one is not careful, it will attract criticism from scholars all over the world, and then it will be over for itself!
Lian Zining saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "Colleagues, we all know what kind of virtue the Kong family is. We also know whether they are worthy of the title of Duke Yan Sheng!"

"Nowadays it's spread all over the world, who doesn't know that the Kong family is the most vicious family in the world!"

"The censor is always outspoken and dares to advise, not afraid of power, and only a man of justice. I only want to be able to share encouragement with my colleagues!"

Everyone is lost in thought, and everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

But many times, people's hearts are not weighed by right or wrong, but also by their own conscience.

When there is a conflict between conscience and right or wrong, the steelyard will become a balance, and where it is heavy, it will tilt there.

After Lian Zining finished speaking, he turned around and sat down on the chair without saying anything else.

Having said that, it is useless to say more.

Qi Tai nodded, and then motioned for the little official to report.

The little official then entered the hall and said, "Masters, Mr. Qi Taiqi, the doctor of the Ministry of Officials, is here on business."

Lin Gong, the vice-capital censor, invited Qi Tai and the two of them in, and after everyone saw the ceremony, Qi Tai said politely: "My lords, please forgive me, I just saw that your lords were discussing matters, so I didn't dare to disturb you." , forgive the sin and forgive the sin."

Lin Gong also said politely: "Master Qi is absent, please sit down."

Qi Tai said: "My lords are busy with business, it is inconvenient for me to disturb you too much."

He introduced Jing Qing to everyone and said: "This is Jing Qing, who was appointed by the Ministry of Household Affairs as the head of the Sixth Rank of the Experience Department of the Inspectorate."

Jing Qing bowed his hands to the crowd and saluted, "Your Majesty, Jing Qing, I have met all your lords."

Everyone also politely returned the salute, and looked at Jing Qing carefully, as if they wanted to see from him what was special about him.

Jing Qing also noticed the scorching gazes of everyone, but he still looked calm and did not show anything.

And the reason why everyone saw him this way was because everyone knew that he was appointed by the Ministry of Officials in name, but was actually promoted and appointed by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!

Every move in the officialdom is full of deep meaning.

Jing Qing can be "escorted" by Qi Tai to take office, then the meaning contained here is too clear!

This is tantamount to telling everyone that Jing Qing is not an ordinary official, but a confidant of His Highness the Emperor Taisun!

Although he is a sixth-rank official, he can suddenly become the head of one of the four divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is how a small official manages major affairs!

Qi Tai said with a smile: "Send the person, and I will trouble you for the rest. I will take my leave."

Lin Gong, the deputy capital censor, said a few words politely, and asked someone to send him back.

Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries in the pavilion for a while, and then arranged for someone to take Jing Qing to familiarize themselves with the administrative affairs, and then everyone dispersed.

But when they turned away when they left, everyone was preoccupied.

Your Highness has arranged for someone from the Inspectorate. What does this mean?
Is it simply a job arrangement, or does it feel that the Inspectorate has not fulfilled its duties, and is dissatisfied with the Inspectorate, and wants to send someone to control the Inspectorate?
However, the first possibility was immediately ruled out by everyone.

How could it be so simple for Jing Qing to be favored by His Highness in the Imperial College, and to be sent off by Qi Tai!
It seems that what happened in Shandong made His Highness very dissatisfied with the Inspectorate.

Everyone also knew that to restore His Highness's impression of the Inspectorate, something had to be done!

Do you want to conduct a self-examination?
The Kong family definitely needs to be impeached, but does Yan Shenggong need to be impeached?
It's really a dilemma...

As for Jing Qing, he saw the eloquence of the Inspectorate on the first day he took office!

I also experienced Lian Zining's arrogance!

This guy simply doesn't care, as long as he thinks it's right, even if he's alone, he'll do it to the end!

Such a character is really expected to be a censor!
Now that you are a censor, you must be ready to become an independent husband!

And in Lian Zining, Jing Qing discovered such a potential!
Maybe it's like-mindedness, maybe it's sympathy, or maybe it's a similar taste, anyway, for some reason, the two quickly became acquainted.

Zhu Yunxi inspected the warehouse, but to his disappointment, he didn't find what he hoped for.

Wang Zhong and Ma He looked at a room full of tributes, but these fairs had a strange type, that is, plants and fruits.

Looking at the disappointed expression on His Highness's face, he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what are you looking for? You can ask your servant, and this servant will help you find it."

Zhu Yunxi asked, "Are all the tributes from the Southeast Asian countries here?"

Because before that, when Zhu Yuanzhang held the emperor grandson canonization ceremony, he issued an edict to allow all countries to come.

Because of the long distance, it took several months to arrive.

At that time, Zhu Yunxi said that he wanted to eat some food from Fanbang and asked them to send some, but among the food in the room, there was nothing he wanted!
Neither sweet potatoes nor corn!
"Reporting to Your Highness, everything is here. Although there are not many kinds of things, they are complete..."

Zhu Yunxi remembered the experience of the introduction of sweet potatoes into the Ming Dynasty, and asked, "Are there any countries in Southeast Asia that don't pay tribute to Ming Dynasty?"

The reason for asking this question is because sweet potatoes were introduced to Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and Fanbang did not take the initiative to pay tribute.

There are records that the businessman tried several times, but couldn't bring back the vines of sweet potatoes. In the end, he had no choice but to stir these vines into the cable, and then successfully brought them back to Daming.

It is also said that the merchants hid these vines in the drum, and then covered them with cowhide as the drum head, so that the sweet potato was planted in Guangdong later.

However, no matter which of these two stories is true, it all shows that those small foreign countries hid it and did not pay such good things to Shangbang!
In fact, this is also understandable, they are for their own interests, which is probably like an economic protection measure for later generations.

But from Daming's point of view, no matter what your thoughts are, if you can't bring these things in, then it won't work!
Wang Zhong replied: "Your Highness, they are the vassal state of Ming Dynasty. How dare they refuse to pay tribute if they have good things? This is a crime of disrespect!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't say anything, the position is different, and the point of view of seeing things is also different!
When you come across a high-yield crop, it’s like a baby, why would you please share it with others!Not even the suzerain country!

The degree to which others submit depends on your strength, the stronger you are, the more they dare not be presumptuous!
Zhu Yunxue ordered: "Ma He, go and ask the people who have been envoys to the countries in Southeast Asia to see if they know what products are highly productive in these countries."

"The other party may be hiding, ask them if they have heard anything."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Zhu Yuanzhang once sent envoys to Nanyang. There are courtiers and eunuchs in the palace, so it is not difficult to ask.

Soon Ma He came back to report, saying that they had not heard any news, nor had they seen any high-yield products.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to give up. In history, high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes should all be produced in America if he remembers correctly.

Although no new continent has been discovered now, it does not mean that these things cannot cross the ocean and enter the Southeast Asia.

Due to the influence of ocean currents and the migratory activities of migratory birds, some seeds and fruits will appear through these channels indefinitely.

The chances of this are small, but not impossible.

It's just that the scale is small at the beginning, so it won't be discovered by people, and it won't be planted all at once.

Just like when pepper was introduced to China, it was only used as an ornamental plant, not as a food.

Thinking of peppers, Zhu Yunxi ordered: "Pass down the order to let Sichuan and Yunnan get more seeds of mature spicy vegetables and send them to the capital."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Spicy dishes are millet peppers that originated in the land of the Ming Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, "Tokyo Menghualu·Volume [-]" has a saying of "selling spicy dishes", and the so-called spicy dishes are related to peppers.

And there are branches in Tibet, Yunnan, and Sichuan, but people nowadays don't take it seriously.

Later, after research, it was indeed found that millet pepper was produced in the land of China, and it has a long history.

"Also, these rice, and these kinds of rice, have been planted in the field for trial planting to see how the yield is, and if we must pay attention not to fall outside."

There is a word in later generations called species invasion. A plant will grow wildly in an environment without natural enemies. Once it overflows, it is difficult to deal with it, so this situation must be avoided from the beginning.

This rice was sent by An Nanguo, it is hard to say whether it is Champa rice, and even if it is Champa rice, it is hard to say whether it is suitable for the climate of Daming, and how it will be produced in Daming.

After all, there are not so many technologies now, and many shortcomings of plants cannot be overcome.
