So how many people can be freed up to do other things?
This is no longer as simple as a small plow.
He even saw the entire Ming Dynasty becoming rich again because of this new shared plow.
As one of the emperors with the highest political intelligence in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing naturally knew the importance of this plow.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an important weapon of the country.
"Okay, okay."
He looked excited.
As Yang Yanhe said, if this plow can really plow a hundred acres of land, then as long as it is in Jiangnan or spread across the country, how far can this liberated labor force reach?
And those great people in the Ming Dynasty Why worry about the rivers and mountains being cultivated by no one in the Ming Dynasty?
There is no shortage of land at all, or it is just that it has not been cultivated.
It is already very difficult to cultivate land.
Who has the leisure to open up wasteland?
You must know that even after the wasteland is opened up, the land is not your own, and most of the uninhabited land is smog.
Land, who dares to go to those places?
But it is different with this plow.
The imperial court can completely immigrate a large number of people and move the places with large populations to those desolate places.
Then how much land will be available to the Ming Dynasty in more than ten years?
By that time, the world may No more people will starve to death "Your Majesty, Mr.
Yang said something when he handed over these two drawings to Li Qianhu."
Huang Jin saw that Jiajing and Yang Yanhe seemed very happy and said with a smile.
"He still has something to say."
Jiajing turned his head and asked, "What did he say?"
Huang Jin said: "Yang Ming said that the Ministry of Plow Industry will build 300 plows as soon as possible and then they will be shipped to Sinan by freight, but he does not plan to give the money."
When Jiajing heard this, he immediately became happy.
"Hahahaha this Yang Ming" "This Yang Ming also acts like a rogue sometimes."
Yang Yanhe also laughed.
However, the three hundred plows in exchange for the production methods are not a loss at all.
In fact, Yang Ming need not say that he also plans to equip Yang Ming with some.
Although Yang Ming is known as the Golden Finger, after all, Sinan is too poor and it is impossible to change at once.
If the court can support him more or less, it will be of great help to the development of his work.
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Ming's request was not excessive at all.
He immediately told Huang Jin: "Huang Banban, send Yang Ming 20,000 taels of silver from the inner palace and say that I gave it to him."
The money for the plow, but don’t forget to pay it back to me, Sinan, who is blessed with one million taels of silver per year after three years.”
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?
Normally, I shouldn't say this, but seeing that Your Majesty and Mr.
Yang are so happy, I can't help but say something."
Huang Jin has always had a good impression of Yang Ming, and Yang Ming also really He can do things and move money to the court.
It can be said that such a minister is perfect to the extreme.
Although he is just a eunuch, he is from Jiajing after all.
There are some things that are difficult for Jiajing to say, but he has no scruples, so he said: "Your Majesty, Yang Ming, you have contributed so much to the plow."
But there’s no reward yet.” reward Naturally rewarded As the saying goes, only when rewards and punishments are clear can you convince others and inspire others.
This is a role model.
Jiajing also thought of this.
But Yang Ming's fiancée and biological mother had just been given the gift of a child's birth.

This was another reward.
Yang Yanhe also felt that this matter was really troublesome, so he changed the topic and said to Huang Jin: "Eunuch Huang, I don't know what Yang Ming's second picture is, so you might as well take it out and see if it's like this.
A picture that is so beneficial to the country and the people, even if he were asked to return to Beijing immediately to take charge of the affairs, the veteran would have nothing to say."
He also saw that Yang Ming, his disciple, was not an ordinary person at all.
Ordinary people can think of these things.
The first picture is already a big deal, so the second picture will naturally not be much worse.
Jiajing also looked at Huang Jin eagerly.
This time he didn't want to look at it alone, so he motioned to Huang Jin to spread the drawings on the table.
This picture is different from the first picture, which can be said to be a picture.
Then this second picture is not a picture at all, but a painting.
The painting is divided into three parts.
The first part is the leaf, which is like a vine but has a heart shape.
As you can see from the painting, the leaves seem to be very plump and there is no problem in eating them as vegetables.
The second part is a piece of something like a sweet potato, but the rhizome is not as round as a sweet potato.
Instead, it is an ellipse, and there are quite a few rhizomes between the roots.
There are actually four or five drawn under one vine.
The third part is different.
It not only draws some lines but also describes the cooking methods.
The leaves can be eaten as vegetables, and the roots can be boiled, steamed, fried or roasted.
However, there was another sentence in this text that shocked the three people present and all gasped in unison.
Sweet potatoes were introduced by a small number of foreigners in Fujian and other places, and were slightly cultivated locally.
However, the planting methods were wrong.
If one acre of fertile land was cultivated, hundreds of pounds of sweet potatoes could be produced.
What he said made them both surprised and angry.
They never thought that such high-yielding crops would have appeared long ago in the Ming Dynasty.
But until now, if Yang Ming hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have known that one hundred stones of grain per mu could save many people and keep many disaster victims away.
If hunger spread throughout the country, how could the Ming Dynasty be in danger of rebellion?
In the final analysis, except for those with ulterior motives, most peasant uprisings are mainly due to lack of food, but the emergence of this hundred-stone-per-acre grain undoubtedly solves this problem.
"A hundred stones per mu is a bit too much," Yang Yanhe said, "but as long as it can reach half of it, I will be grateful to God.
Even if someone wants to set up a longevity tablet for him in front of me, I won't care.
Your Majesty, look at what is written on this paper."
It is said that these crops can also grow in dry land, but the yield is much lower.
But even if it is as low as 50%, it is still a large yield.
But the most important thing now is that Fujian needs to send people specially to collect and make seeds.
Use it, return it twice It is necessary to cultivate seedlings as early as possible, so that they can be promoted just in time for spring plowing.
However, in my opinion, the most suitable place for promotion is to promote it in the middle of Sichuan.
First, there is Dujiangyan in the middle of Sichuan, which relies on the continuous flow of water.
Secondly, because of the barrier of the Qinling Mountains, the climate in the middle of Shu is mild and very suitable for cultivating root seedlings.
It only takes one year to wait until enough is saved for promotion, and then the court can promote it to the world.
In this way, no one will starve to death in this huge world. " "Not bad."
Jiajing's emotions could no longer express his inner excitement: "Give Yang Ming a title of attendant, I'm convinced by these two drawings."
How difficult it is to get the emperor to say a word of submission But Jiajing said it, and he was very happy A plow and a sweet potato made him ignite his ambition for the country he ruled for the first time.
From this moment on, he and Yang Yanhe had forgotten all about the vast land left behind by the Battle of Tumu Fort.
Five years of life gathering.
As long as these two things are available, the Ming Dynasty will only need five years.
