Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 550 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (39)

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhiyu with a complicated expression. He knew too little about this emperor.

The destruction of the Kong family is such a big deal, but this person actually wants to frame others with just a few words...

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian didn't respond, Zhiyu smiled and said, "Just think of this investigation as a rest."

Zhiyu handed Wei Zhongxian a piece of paper and said, "If you go to the Shandong Provincial Commandery and can't find out who drugged Kong Zhenyun, then you can pick any of these noble families to be the scapegoat."

"The Kong family is of great significance to scholars throughout the world. This case must be resolved, and we must give an explanation to the world."

Wei Zhongxian took the paper handed to him by Zhiyu, feeling mixed emotions.

At this moment, he actually felt a little sympathy for Kong Zhenyun.

Not only was his family destroyed, but he was also given a drug that would wipe out his descendants. Now, as the real destroyer of the Kong family, he was sent to investigate the case of the Kong family's destruction...

He felt that even if he looked back through history books for a thousand or eight hundred years, he would definitely not find anyone more miserable than Kong Zhenyun.

On the second day, when he saw Kong Zhenyun, who looked at him with displeasure but had to greet him for the sake of his family, Wei Zhongxian, who was always known for his cruelty, rarely made things difficult for Kong Zhenyun.

Kong Zhenyun has already suffered so much, if I continue to embarrass him, my conscience will hurt a bit...

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but sigh to the sky. It seemed that His Majesty was still too kind to him.

Although the people around him have been mostly dealt with by His Majesty, he is now in a high position. Anyone who sees him must respectfully call him Lord Wei or "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Years Old".

Unlike Kong Zhenyun, who was born into the most aristocratic family in the world, but now is in this situation...

After Wei Zhongxian and Kong Zhenyun left, Zhiyu began to send people to look for people who were good at growing crops and skilled craftsmen among the people.

At the same time, the Ministry of Households set up an agricultural department to specifically study the growth of crops.

Corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes... these high-yield crops had already been introduced to the Ming Dynasty at this time, but because they were not cultivated seriously, the yield of these crops was not large, which led to the fact that people in the Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to these things.

Zhiyu knew that if these things were cultivated well, the Ming Dynasty’s granaries would be full in a few years.

Therefore, when it comes to crop cultivation, she was unusually generous and allocated a considerable amount of funds to the Ministry of Agriculture.

No matter how often people from the Ministry of Revenue came to her to complain about their poverty, she simply dismissed them with the words, "Agriculture is the foundation of the world."

The cultivation of crops is naturally inseparable from the advancement of agricultural tools.

After the skilled craftsmen gathered from the public arrived in the capital, Zhiyu called out Zhu Youxiao, who had been staying in his house all day making wood carvings.

Apart from doing wood carving, Zhu Youxiao now spends the rest of his time in a daze. Zhiyu doesn't want to leave him time to miss Keshi, so he sends him to stay with those craftsmen.

At first, the craftsmen were afraid of Zhu Youxiao, the retired emperor, and had little contact with him.

It was not until Zhu Youxiao made some key suggestions when they were making farm tools, which benefited them greatly, that they finally put aside their fear of imperial power and approached Zhu Youxiao with the intention of asking for advice and exchanging ideas.

Through his exchanges with the craftsmen, Zhu Youxiao's skills improved a lot, and he became less and less dazed. Now he was fully committed to improving the farm tools and had no time to think about anything else.
