Xu Guangqi brought several kinds of soap outer packaging, which was very exquisite and elegant. Unlike the simplicity and grandeur of the Han and Tang Dynasties, people in the Ming Dynasty preferred exquisite and luxurious things.

Chongzhen chose a more suitable one from it. The three words "Qianyuantang" engraved on the outside are exquisite and flowing with nobleness.

This matter was decided like this. Time is precious. Clean and rush to cut a wave of leeks.

From ancient times to the present, there are as many smart people in China as the stars in the sky. If this thing really makes money, there will inevitably be people below to imitate it. After all, the manufacturing threshold is not high.

This matter has been done smoothly so far, and no trouble has occurred.

On February 5, Beijing was dry and cold, and there was strong wind.

A middle-aged man in simple clothes walked into the Forbidden City. No one knew him at this time because he failed the exam two years ago and never took the imperial examination again.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, he was not very famous. Because he did not have a Jinshi, he became the magistrate of Haozhou. He also said that he had been in Chongzhen for 16 years and then resigned and stayed at home and donated to the school.

But this man is very famous in later generations because he wrote a best-selling book at home and abroad, "The Creation of Things in Heaven".

This person is Song Yingxing. At this time, Song Yingxing was an unknown little person. Although he was already forty-three years old, he seemed very vague in Beijing where high officials were everywhere.

However, such a small person was inexplicably summoned to the capital, entered the Chengtian Gate, stepped into the Meridian Gate, entered the Forbidden City, and then headed towards the Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen was writing his "The Strategy of the Ming Dynasty" and he was almost finished. He himself sorted out the current Ming Dynasty from a macro perspective from many aspects such as agriculture, economy, finance, military and finance, and his thinking was much clearer.

After the new army is established, he can make drastic changes according to his own ideas. This is a later story.

Wang Chengen quickly trotted in and said, "Your Majesty, the person you want is here."

Chongzhen was slightly puzzled: "Who?"

"Song Yingxing, didn't you ask me to find him a few years ago?"

Chongzhen immediately put down his pen and stood up suddenly: "Song Yingxing is here!"

Wang Chengen was frightened and thought to himself who was the sacred Song Yingxing, who actually made His Majesty the Emperor lose his composure?

Without saying a word, Chongzhen ran out quickly and waited to the door before he remembered: "Where are the people?"

"It's on the way to Qianqing Palace."

Chongzhen ran out quickly.

Why did Chongzhen react like this?

According to his "Ming Ming Strategy", what is the biggest contradiction in the Ming Dynasty at this stage?

Is it a contradiction between the monarch and the ministers?

no!

Is it the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu?

No! In fact, until the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji was still thinking about peace talks. Huang Taiji's strategy during his reign was not to replace the Ming Dynasty, but to wear Ming.

Is that a class contradiction?

The contradiction between the landlord class and the peasants?

Very close!

The most important contradiction at present is the contradiction between population explosion and food shortage!

This is the most core contradiction at this stage!

The theory of contradiction is the core essence of the great man in later generations. Only by analyzing the problems of the Ming Dynasty from this thinking can we tear open up all the entangled chaos on the surface and see the essential problems.

Song Yingxing also has many researches in agronomy, which can be said to be no less than Xu Guangqi.

He made detailed analysis and records of the entire production process of rice seed soaking, breeding, raising seedlings, weeding, etc.

A summary of this person in one sentence: the real pillar of the country.

This family is not easy to work as a family. They are short of money and food. How can they enter the commercial society without food? How can they develop industry?

Chongzhen walked out excitedly. He was indeed too excited. When he walked through the Huangji Palace, some eunuchs and palace maids saw the emperor coming quickly and saluted quickly, but at this time, there was no one in Chongzhen's eyes.

Even some civil officials saw the emperor salute, but the emperor didn't care.

Until I walked to the gate of Huangji Gate, I saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. Under the guidance of the little eunuch, he was about to bypass Huangji Palace from the side to the Ganqing Palace.

When the little eunuchs saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly knelt down.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Caughter Song Yingxing will meet His Majesty."

Chongzhen stopped, glanced at the man, and then realized that he hurried over and helped Song Yingxing up: "Get up quickly."

The north wind made Chongzhen's ears turn red. He said excitedly: "Let's go to the Ganqing Palace, let's have a good chat."

Song Yingxing suddenly felt flattered. He had never expected that he would suddenly receive the emperor's call, and he did not expect that the emperor would come out to greet him in person.

And what about Chongzhen? A real talent is more valuable than a million taels of gold!

True talents are priceless treasures, so what is it to come out to greet them?

This matter will definitely reach the ministers' ears, and Chongzhen wants them to know.

When he arrived at the Ganqing Palace, Chongzhen gave Song Yingxing a throne.

"Mr. Song is exhausted, so let's use tea first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Caomin did not dare to delay any delay when he heard the Emperor summoned. I don't know what the Emperor summoned Caomin's orders. Caomin is willing to be crushed to pieces."

"Mr. Song, don't worry, listen to me to tell you slowly."

"I wish to hear the emperor's teachings."

"Mr. Song thought what was my Ming Dynasty right now?"

Song Yingxing was slightly stunned, but he had something to say in his heart. After all, he was also a juren. Which scholar does not have the feelings of being a worldly scholar?

But he is not that kind of frivolous person. He dares not speak nonsense in front of the emperor. What if he says a few words wrong and is dragged out and beaten to death?

So he also picked up a nice sound saying: "Your Majesty's saint candle shines all over the world, and the Ming Dynasty is in His Majesty's hands to maintain peace and prosperity in China."

"Sir, don't have any concerns. I know that there are disasters in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places. Since I have come to you, I will not ask you to say good things to me."

Song Yingxing quickly stood up and knelt down: "The grass people deserve to die, the grass people dared to say frankly, now the people are exhausted and the people are unable to fill their stomachs."

"What good ideas are there now?"

Song Yingxing was slightly stunned, buried his head between his long sleeves and said, "The grass people are shallow and stupid."

Song Yingxing said that if you really want him to come up with a policy plan, this is not his strength.

Chongzhen didn't make things difficult for him. The reason why he asked these was just to know what Song Yingxing thought. Since he knew that the people were tired and the people were unable to eat, it would be easy to talk about it next.

He helped Song Yingxing up and said, "The people are tired, Shaanxi has a severe drought, and there is no harvest. There are changing children and eating, and the world is tragedy. I feel heartbroken. I always think of it and can't sleep at night, so I plan to find you to solve the problem of farming. I need my husband to show what I have learned throughout my life. Next, I will introduce various support for agriculture step by step."

Song Yingxing then felt relieved and knew why the emperor came to him.

He said, "Your Majesty, there is really something here that can relieve Your Majesty's worries."

"Oh, what?"

Song Yingxing took out a small piece of thing from his pocket and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this thing is called sweet potato, and it is widely grown in Fujian and Guangdong."

Chongzhen was slightly stunned and laughed randomly. It seemed that Song Yingxing had come without preparation. It turned out that he was also thinking that since he could see the emperor, he could show his advice to the emperor.

Isn’t this sweet potato just a sweet potato?

The two people's ideas coincided. Chongzhen himself planned to vigorously plant sweet potatoes in the north, so that Song Yingxing would plant them.

Sweet potatoes were spread to the Ming Dynasty as early as the Wanli period, but unfortunately they have been promoted in Fujian and Guangdong, and there are basically very few in the north.

The wheat in the north produces about 3 stones per mu per year, but what is the yield of sweet potatoes? Thousands of kilograms or even tens of thousands of kilograms are more than ten times or even twenty times that of wheat!

If it is really promoted, it can save many people.

More importantly, sweet potatoes are extremely drought-resistant!

As for the legendary potatoes, they have not been improved yet, and the effect will definitely not be so good when planted.
