Not long after, Mrs. Guo brought Mulun to the stone pavilion of the back house.

Mrs. Guo introduced her father to Zhang Yangquan and his wife. Mulun looked nervous and greeted them.

Mulun followed Mongolian etiquette, and Zhang Yangquan was not surprised. He smiled and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Mulun felt relieved when he saw that he was gentle and had a peaceful expression, completely different from the bloodthirsty bandit in the rumors.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yangquan looked at Mulun and asked: "Mr. Mu, I heard from Mrs. Guo that you were serving Emperor Yuan in Dadu, why did you suddenly come to Jiangdu Prefecture?"

Mulun smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is unaware of something. Ever since King Ji Ning entered Dadu and took power, Dadu has become chaotic."

"How to say?"

Mulun thought about his words and said: "First of all, the prince. On the night when Polo was named King of Jining, the prince escaped from Dadu, and then all the officials fled with him. Almost half of the officials in Dadu were missing!"

Guo Niansheng asked in surprise: "Where did they escape?"

"Yes, we will use saltpeter to cool down and plant in a small shed to vernalize the barley seeds. But there is no limit to the location of the small shed. If you need to propagate in a small amount, it is far enough."

Zhang Yangquan got up from the bed, glanced at King Ji Ning beside him, and saw that you were not awakened. He stood up quickly, walked to the window, and looked up at the night sky.

Mu'er followed me and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to propagate barley seeds in small quantities, it will probably be easy in Longtan Mountain."

It wasn't until I heard Yuan Shi's story today that I realized that the name of the Yuan Dynasty was more subtle than I thought.

But in this way, the direction of the Mongols' operations will be westward. If they send out troops to drive us away, they will be able to drive us to the west just like the Han Dynasty.

I have known for a long time that there was little internal fighting in the early Yuan Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang could succeed in the Northern Expedition in one year.

"What else did I do?" Zhang Yangquan asked.

However, the name of Beidi means that it is suitable for producing rice, so it is necessary to re-select grain seeds and farm in Jinzhou.

Guo Niansheng was stunned for a moment and said: "What I did was right. From the standpoint of their Yuan Dynasty, what I did was an act of loyalty to the emperor!"

If an army wants to be self-sufficient, farming is the worst way.

The problem now is to prevent the Yuan Dynasty from escaping from Mobei before being defeated, recuperating in Mobei, and harassing them again in the future.

As Zhang Yangquan spoke, he retreated into the village. King Ji Ning talked with the villagers who came to greet him. Zhang Yangquan walked through the village and came to the fields in the front mountain.

"Yes, it hasn't been delayed for a long time. Now that the momentum is on your side, you must worry too little! By the way, barley seeds can't be reproduced in small quantities!"

Thinking of this, I made a decision in my mind to let Fu Youde, Xu Da and others cultivate potatoes in Jinzhou, and at the same time promote the cultivation of potatoes in small areas in the jurisdiction.

Hao Qiong sighed: "Even if we take action, Your Majesty will tolerate it sooner or later, Mrs. Guo!"

Zhang Yangquan nodded and said secretly: "It seems that Hao Qiong, like Bo Luo Tie, is also good at political maneuvering."

"As I just said above, the small capital has half as many officials, and Mrs. Guo has become the prime minister. I will place a small number of military generals in the court to cultivate power!"

Zhang Yangquan raised his hand and said: "Yuan Qing must be polite. You came here today because you want to ask him for a batch of potatoes."

According to the current development of the situation, the Yuan Dynasty is very likely to defeat itself, and it is basically necessary for me to tip Zhou Zhang.

The Sinong Bureau is the most high-profile department of Jiangdu Army, and its office is located at the foot of Longtan Mountain.

Now that all the other rebel armies have been destroyed, the Yuan Dynasty is only focusing on internal fighting. The situation is becoming more and more clear, and it is necessary to hide it again.

The bright moon is bright and clear, and the light is like water.

However, I am a high-profile person and have been walking in the fields for a long time. My skin is white and moist. Although I am only eighty years old, my face is full of wrinkles and I look like an old man.

Zhang Yangquan looked at me and said, "So he left Xiaodu for that reason?"

Before walking around Longtan Mountain, Zhang Yangquan and his wife also had lunch at the foot of the mountain and had a meal of braised pork with potatoes.

Mulun said: "You are absolutely right. The prince and half of the ministers have fled to Jining."

King Ji Ning frowned and said: "Is the Tatar Emperor just in charge?"

In the future, whether Zhang Yangquan promoted potatoes to other areas under his jurisdiction was because he was worried that the grain would fall into the hands of the rebels or the Yuan Dynasty.

Yuan Shi hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: "That's absolutely true. A while later, Hao Qionghe ended up punishing these family members and surrendered to rebel, yes, officials of the rebel army."

However, Jinzhou is far away from Jiangdu Prefecture after all, and it is very easy to transport grain from Jeju Island.

The name of the Superintendent of the Sinong Bureau was Hao Qiong, and he was a student of Guo Niansheng. On the day I ascended the throne, I was granted the title of Lord Fengnong, and my ranking was still lower than that of Luo Guanzhong.

Qin Lingjun said: "Looking at it this way, the imperial court in Dadu has been divided into two halves?"

Potatoes have been cultivated in Longtan Mountain, and the old villagers at the foot of the mountain have also been eating potatoes.

Before lunch break, the two went up the mountain together and returned to Jiangdu Prefecture.

So the only option left is potatoes.

Zhang Yangquan suddenly realized that Yuan Shi's son Hao Qionghe was the wife of the prime minister in Jiangdu Prefecture. Naturally, I was afraid of being punished by Hao Qiong, a Bo Luo Tie, so I fled Xiaodu.

Hao Qiong added: "I also issued an order to execute all the jesters around Your Majesty, eliminate eunuchs, and prohibit monks from the Western Regions from retreating to the capital."

Of course, we can still withdraw from Shanxi.

I tightened my clothes and thought to myself: "It won't be October anymore in a few days. Time flies so slowly, and another year has passed slowly."

Yuan Shi gritted his teeth and said: "This person is extremely domineering and has the emperor's eyes. He actually... broke into the front palace late at night and insulted the concubines of the front palace at will!"

Although I ordered the Agricultural Bureau of the Department to propagate all the seeds and save them, we did not propagate them in small quantities.

If you want to grow barley, you need to spend a year breeding cycle, which is in line with the current situation.

Originally, Jining was the territory of Polo Timur. When Kaokuo attacked, he avoided fighting and went straight to Dadu. Therefore, Jining Road fell into the hands of Kaokuo.

Does that department have any other tasks? It is solely responsible for researching the optimization of grain varieties and directly takes orders from Emperor Zhang Yangquan.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and to your Majesty and the Empress!"

Zhang Yangquan mused: "Jeju Island has a hot climate. He can't set up a agriculture branch here to be responsible for breeding barley!"

Mu'er grinned and said, "Can't we finally promote potatoes?"

When Zhang Yangquan and seven others arrived at the top of the mountain, Mu'er and officials from the Agriculture Bureau were already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Yangquan said: "That's strange. Now that Emperor Yuan's throne is only guaranteed by Polo Tie Hao Qiong's 700,000 troops, I naturally turn a blind eye."

Before understanding the situation in Wufu Xiaodu, Zhang Yangquan and Hao Qionghe said goodbye and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"He must have gone to the Kuakuo Military Camp!" Zhang Yangquan said flatly.

Mu'er said happily: "Yes!"

"Yes, the prince has been in charge of the government for many years, and his authority has penetrated into the local areas. Now his Majesty issues orders in Xiaodu, and the prince issues orders in Jining. Alas, local officials all know who to listen to!"

"Is it a vernalization problem?"

……

In hot areas, barley and potatoes are the worst choices.

Hao Qiong shook his head: "Your Majesty, yes, Tuo Huan has long been tired of Emperor Qi because of the prince. Now I only favor Ning Xiang'er and don't pay attention to this matter."

Hao Qiong sighed: "I'm sure I only do that, and no one can blame me."

Looking at the night sky, Zhang Yangquan thought of the situation in Xiaodu mentioned by Hao Qiong during the day.

Zhang Yangquan's eyes flashed: "Prince Yuan should be able to satisfy that situation. Now that the expansion of the army is declining, you guess we will soon reach the small capital!"

Hao Qiong went on to complain: "Among the ministers, anyone who has not disobeyed Mrs. Guo will be squeezed out and suppressed by me. The government and the public are still panic-stricken!"

The clouds are very thin today, the moon is dark and bright, and the stars are dim, making it dazzling.

If you want to control that area for a long time, you need to make the Jinzhou army self-sufficient.

Zhang Yangquan was surprised: "Nothing like that has happened yet?"

As long as we capture that land, we can surprise the capital at any time and cut off the Yuan army's advance.

A gust of night wind blew, with a bit of chill in the wind, which made Zhang Yangquan shiver.

To prevent the Yuan army from escaping north, the worst way is not to cut off our way forward, so the next focus is to destroy Jinzhou.

Zhang Yangquan was stunned. Polo Timulun had only been a powerful minister for a few days, but he actually slept with the emperor. What a talent!

Early the next morning, Zhang Yangquan and King Ji Ning came to Longtan Mountain together and climbed quickly along the mountain road.

"How do you say this?"
