Wang Yingxin showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Generally speaking, he was entrusted with an important task, and as the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, he was supposed to rack his brains to consider, summarize, and report on what it should and could do in the future. Even during the conversation just now, he had actually begun to vaguely think about this matter in his mind.

And Your Majesty is the current emperor.

It is rare that he is willing to personally understand the contents of the "Book of Agriculture" for this matter, and even check the county annals and come here in person to consider all the matters of the Ministry of Agriculture. But I didn't expect that he had detailed arrangements for the affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture?

Thinking of this, Wang Yingxin bowed his head solemnly: "I will only obey your majesty's orders."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said:

"Since I've divided things into near, medium, and long-term, let's start with the near term. The most important section in the Book of Agriculture is naturally about popularizing farming techniques and the use of various agricultural tools based on the different regions, climate conditions, soils, and so on across the country, so as to increase agricultural yields according to local conditions."

"It's the new year, and in a month, it will be time to plant seeds. Mr. Wang Boshan has summarized a lot of experience in adapting to local conditions, and he's been popularizing agricultural knowledge that can help increase agricultural yields. The Ministry of Agriculture can do its best to arrange this. This is the latest."

for this.

This was within Wang Yingxin's expectations.

He nodded and said, "This is what I, a humble minister, should be responsible for."

After saying this, he stood with his head down, continuing to listen attentively. He mentioned three things before telling the first one.

Zhu Yunhuan also continued:

"Furthermore, I want you to summarize the agricultural situation across the country and form a system."

"I hope you will do as my ancestor, Mr. Wang Boshan, did. Once you have some free time, based on the 'Book of Agriculture,' you will travel the modern Ming Dynasty. You will combine and verify the 'Diagram of the Method of Time-Setting and Palm-Manipulating' and the 'National Agricultural Situation Map' in the 'Book of Agriculture' with the actual situation, and update and improve them to adapt to the specific changes over the past century."

“And then spread it.”

"In this way, the people can have the most reasonable reference for farming in all four seasons."

"It can also boost Ming Dynasty agriculture."

Although Zhu Yunhuan's future direction would certainly gradually develop towards business, he understood that for a long time to come, agriculture would still be the foundation and guarantee of all tall buildings.

He needs to look high and far, but more importantly, he needs to look down at his feet.

When Zhu Yunhuan talked about the second point.

Wang Yingxin's eyes couldn't help but show excitement again, and he also felt a sense of recognition. He said, "This is also the wish of our ancestors and me! When our ancestors wrote the 'Book of Agriculture', they had this idea in mind. The wooden movable type and rotary typesetting plate that survived last year were originally designed by our ancestors for promotion!"

"Your Majesty's actions are not only a favor to my Wang family, but also a favor to the people of the world!"

Zhu Yunhuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's perfectly fine."

After a pause, he continued:

"Then let's talk about the third point, the distant one."

"While you investigate the agricultural conditions in various regions, I also want you to consider the potential and possibility of developing other ways to make money while meeting the food needs of the people in various regions!"

"I've seen chapters in the Book of Agriculture dedicated to planting, animal husbandry, and sericulture, covering various aspects of agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishing. It's a perfect fit for you to handle this."

Zhu Yunhuan carefully read the county annals of Jingde and Yongfeng counties, where Wang Zhen had served.

This is also clearly recorded in the county annals.

So Zhu Yunhuan also saw that what Wang Zhen did was actually more than just simple "grain farming".

Instead, they put themselves in the people's shoes and perspective, bought mulberry seedlings and cotton seeds, and taught and encouraged the people to maximize the benefits that the land could create in a scientific and rational way while meeting their food needs.
