    Zhou Jing¡¯s face turned red and he felt like he had been slapped hard several times.

    Emperor Hongzhi felt very happy at this time. He felt that the bad breath in his chest disappeared all at once, and he looked at Zhou Jing with a smile on his face.

    This Zhou Jing, because of the matter of the 20,000 taels of silver, comes to make trouble with him every three to five days. He has no other ability and knows how to keep an eye on his own money every day.

    He finally made some money, but he was like a thief, thinking about it every day. He knew that the increase in revenue and expenditure in the national treasury would be on his own head. As for things like levying business taxes, re-measurement of land, etc.  He didn't even mention it once.

    "Your Majesty, this little prince will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss. I guess he will make a comeback."

    "The climate has been abnormal in the past few years, and the winter has become extremely cold. Their lives must have been very difficult. Without going south to plunder, it would be difficult to survive the winter."

    ¡°I suggest that you should not let down your guard because of this victory, but should be more careful to prevent the little prince from making a comeback again.¡±

    Ma Wensheng looked at Zhou Jing and did not continue to talk about clairvoyance. Instead, he gave a very solemn reminder that he should take extra precautions to prevent the little prince from coming back again.

    "Well, Aiqing has thought carefully and sent an order to the border towns to strengthen their precautions. They should make more use of the role of clairvoyance in investigation, grasp the little prince's movements in time, and take precautions."

    After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi solemnly nodded and issued an order: The injured wolf is often more ferocious and terrifying. The current little Tartar prince is like an injured wolf, and at the same time he is also a hungry and cold wolf.  , will definitely go south again and invade the border.

    "Your Majesty, this winter is really too cold. I estimate that it will have a great impact on farming. The wheat harvest in the northern region may be poor because of this. In serious cases, there may be no harvest. So I suggest that we should do this in advance.  Be prepared.¡±

    "Inspect grain warehouses in various places, transport grain from the south in advance, and be prepared to deal with famines."

    Liu Jian listened to the cold wind raging outside, thought for a while and said.

    ¡°The weather is a bit colder now, but it¡¯s the same cold every winter, so maybe it¡¯s not so cold, right?¡±

    After listening to this, Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said.

    "Last year at Wangyue Tower, Liu Jin talked about the impact of geography and climate on agricultural production. I paid special attention to the fact that our Ming Dynasty is based on agriculture. This agriculture is related to the foundation of our country. Only when the people all over the world have enough to eat can we  The country can truly live in peace and prosperity.¡±

    "So I have read a lot of historical records during this period, and I have learned something from them. As Liu Jin said, the climate in our Ming Dynasty has always been either floods in the south and drought in the north, or droughts in the north and south. The disaster in the north is particularly serious."

    ¡°Not only are drought and flood problems extremely serious and difficult to control, but there are also many disasters such as snowstorms and locust plagues. There are relatively few good years, and some disasters often occur.¡±

    ¡°This winter, frosts started to hit during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and winter began nearly a month earlier than before.¡±

    "At the same time, I recently went to the river outside Beijing to break the ice in the river. I found that the ice this year is nearly a foot thicker than last year, which shows that this winter is particularly cold."

    "According to Liu Jin, light, precipitation, and temperature are the three major factors for crop growth. If the temperature is too low, it will have a great impact on crop growth. Therefore, I conclude that there will be a poor harvest or even no harvest in the northern region this year.  If a famine occurs, we should prepare as early as possible."

    Liu Jian sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then slowly explained his research inferences.

    "Is that really the case?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't sit still and began to walk around anxiously.

    In the past, everyone was not aware of this, or did not conduct in-depth research on this aspect. After all, those in power were all Confucian scholars who only advocated governing the country with loyalty, filial piety, and virtue.  I regard things as trivial matters, and I will never put any effort into studying them. I spend more time on the Four Books and Five Classics that have been circulating for thousands of years. I am happy to write some research experiences on these Four Books and Five Classics.  thing.

    But what Liu Jin said at Wangyue Tower last year not only opened the eyes of many people to the vast world beyond the Ming Dynasty, but also made many people for the first time try to study some of the climate,  Geography and so on have an impact on many aspects.

    Especially some people who want to prove that everything Liu Jin said is fantasy and nonsense.He was even more focused on finding some evidence to prove that Liu Jin was talking nonsense.

    We know very little about the world outside the Ming Dynasty, so we should look for information and research from the Ming Dynasty itself, go through historical records, and continue to make some summaries and analyses.

    Unexpectedly, it further proved that everything Liu Jin said was true. Liu Jian was one of them. After searching and researching carefully, he actually found his own results. Now he has concluded that the northern region will be the best this year.  Poor harvest, or even no harvest, will inevitably lead to famine.

    "It should be correct. I have carefully compared some records in history. Whenever winter is too cold and lasts too long, famine will definitely occur in the coming year."

    Liu Jian said with great certainty.

    ¡°If this is really the case, we should prepare as early as possible, transport and store food in advance.¡±

    " Emperor Hongzhi still believed in his teacher's words, and he also believed a little in Liu Jin's words. This was both honeycomb and clairvoyant.

    Briquettes not only solved the problem of heating and burning firewood for the people in the capital in winter, but also made Emperor Hongzhi's pockets bulge; this clairvoyance also made a great contribution. With the help of clairvoyance, he severely damaged the little prince who went south.

    These two things also made Emperor Hongzhi believe Liu Jin's words. Now Liu Jian also talked about Liu Jin and inferred the famine. He had no reason not to pay attention to it.

    "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Liu is making a fuss out of a molehill. If winter isn't cold, is it still called winter?"

    At this time, Zhou Jing stood up and expressed his opposition. He knew that once the food was transferred or hoarded, the treasury would definitely have to spend money, and as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, this was what he was most afraid of.

    And because of the clairvoyance invented by Liu Jin, he was slapped several times. He was also very unhappy in his heart. Now that Liu Jian mentioned Liu Jin again, he naturally wanted to stand up and object.

    "There is no detailed standard for the coldness of this winter. How can it be said that the thicker ice layer in the river means that this winter will be colder than before? Guangdong in the south does not even freeze in winter. Isn't it possible?  Are you saying that this winter will be warmer than before?¡± (Remember this website¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
