I want to be a grandson

Chapter 460 Ma He's Demeanor

"Your Highness, the output of the peppers you ordered to plant has reached [-] mu this year. I harvested a batch and stored them in the sun. I don't know how to harvest the rest?" Tie Xuan asked.

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "Don't harvest any more fruits, keep the seeds for the rest, and try to plant [-] mu next year! With these seeds, you can harvest a lot of peppers next year, and then you can sell them! Definitely It can bring a fortune to the Department of Commerce and Trade!"

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys."

Before Zhu Yunxi asked Tie Xuan to look for native peppers in Yunnan and other places, and he found them without much effort.

After collecting the seeds, they began to plant them in Huangzhuang. Before, Zhu Yunxue was so hungry that he didn't dare to eat a single chili pepper, so he kept them all as seeds. That's why he only had [-] mu of planting area this year.

Although it has been dried in the sun, as long as the rest is used as seeds, the planting scale next year will definitely not be small!
Ancient spices are very precious, and chili is in my hands. Although it will definitely be popularized in the end, as long as I leave it for a few years, chili will still become a gold-absorbing beast!

"Wang Zhong, remember to take good precautions, don't let the seeds flow out before we sell them!"

"Yes, this servant understands, and will never be negligent!"

After talking about the autumn grain collection and the collection of taxes for a while, Tie Xuan and his wife reported some affairs to the household department.

Finally, Zhu Yunxi tapped the chair lightly with his fingers, and said: "You two went to the Imperial College, and now all the chief envoys are holding the Qiu Wei.
When the imperial court is busy, the students of Guozijian should not slack off. Go and have a look, and remember to report back. "

"Yes, my minister obeys!" The two accepted orders in unison.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi let them go was because he had dealt with a lot of big noble families this time. Although most of them were not in danger of their lives, it was enough to hurt them.

Take Xie Jin as an example, the government can handle it impartially, but it can't kill all the members of their family, that is, there was a prison disaster and the family property was confiscated.

And Guozijian has a natural connection with the gentry, so it is easy to be influenced by it, and Guozijian is its own talent base, so there can't be chaos here!

After the two were ordered to leave, Zhu Yunxi got up and came to the side hall, and moved his body a bit. After sitting for too long, his body was a little stiff.

Wang Zhong said from the side: "Your Highness, how about I squeeze your feet and shoulders for you?"

"No, I'm not that tired yet."

Seeing Ma He standing beside him, Zhu Yunxi asked, "Ma He, what book are you going to read when you come in? Let me have a look."

Ma He bowed and said: "Your Highness, these are the atlases of craftsmen's shipbuilding, as well as the ship's manufacturing process. There are many and complicated ones, and I'm afraid it will disturb Your Highness's cleanliness."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Yunxi was not interested in watching it anymore.

There are too many shipbuilding drawings and explanations of the process. If you don't understand it, it's useless to read it, and it will only increase the boredom.

Zhu Yunxi had many official duties, so where he had the time to study how to build a ship, he could only provide support and let the people below brainstorm and do more research.

Even if one's talents are excellent, they are very limited after all. As a monarch, the first homework is to appoint people on their merits and let the right people play the right role!

"After studying for so long, what have you gained?"

Ma He saw that His Highness was interested, so he reported and said: "Reporting to His Highness, the servants are grateful to His Highness for being able to read albums and books. In the past two years, they have learned a little bit about Western countries and the East..."

Zhu Yunxi asked after hearing the words: "Tell me about what you have learned."

Even in later generations, who can know all the conditions of those small countries, as well as their specialties and customs?

What's more, the present is different from the later generations, and the conditions of the later generations are not applicable.

Zhu Yunxi only had some understanding of the surrounding countries, but did not have a deep understanding. In this respect, he is not as thorough as Ma He.

Ma He said: "Your Highness, the scope of the Western Ocean is different for each dynasty. For the Ming Dynasty, Jiaozhi, the west of Siam, Sumatra, Java, and even Persia were the Western Ocean, while the Eastern Ocean was dominated by the Japanese slave country. included……

Your Highness, Chen Tianping, the lord of Annan, is far from controlling the country. Although this person will not collapse, he has no talent and belongs to the mediocre generation.

As for the minister of Annan Kingdom, Hu Jisha, because he has won the support of the powerful, coupled with his ambition, wolf ambition, insidious and cunning, if he is allowed to develop, he may overthrow the Chen Dynasty in the future..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Ma He and secretly praised him.

As expected of a person who left his name in history and toured the West seven times!It does have vision!
In history, the power minister Hu Jishu usurped the throne, established the Hu Dynasty, and changed the country's name to "Dayu".

Soon after, he claimed to be the Supreme Emperor, and his son Hu Hancang took the throne.Since the Chen family of the previous dynasty was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and was canonized by the Ming Dynasty for generations, the Hu family who usurped the country would not arouse the suspicion of the Ming Dynasty.
So he sent envoys to Ming Dynasty to deceive Daming with lies.

The Ming court also sent people to investigate, and there was no reason to doubt for a while, so Hu Hancang was named "King of Annan". Later, he realized that he was cheated, and Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu to put down the Hu Dynasty.

After talking about Western affairs, Zhu Yunxi asked about sea ships again. Ma He took out a model of sea ships and showed them to Zhu Yunxi.

"Please look, Your Highness, this is the appearance of a sea-going ship made by servants. This is the fort, which is used to place the artillery. There are left and right generals, and the front and back of the ship, in order to achieve the best combat power... This is the arrow stack... ..."

Ma He pointed at the ship model and explained.

Zhu Yunxi saw that there were so many cannons to be deployed, so he interrupted him and asked, "How big is the sea ship you made, and it can be equipped with so many cannons, it must not be small?"

Ma He's eyes were bright, and he was obviously a little excited, "It is said that this sea boat is a slave. Big, you must be prepared to resist wind and waves, even rocks,
The servant also checked a lot of wind direction, sea tide, and Western climate factors, and by the way, there is also the weather, which cannot be ignored..."

Your Highness, did the slave girl understand what she said? "

"Uh, I understand, of course I understand!" Zhu Yunxi said now scalp.

Wang Zhong held back his smile, his face was flushed, how could His Highness understand, he didn't understand at all...

Zhu Yunxie glared at him, Wang Zhong was startled, bit his lip, and then kept his posture.

it's over...

Your Highness, the servant did not laugh at you...

Zhu Yunxi's scalp became numb when he heard it. Although he knew that shipbuilding must consider what he said, but he is an amateur, so we can't understand what he said in too much detail!
So he said impatiently: "I asked you how big this ship is, and I didn't ask you to hang your book bag here! It's so long-winded!"

Ma He said with a smile: "Your Highness, this boat is 44 feet long and 37 feet wide, and the middle boat is [-] feet long and [-] feet wide..."

Zhu Yunxi was shocked, "Can such a big ship be built well? The largest ship in the world is not so big..."

As soon as he said this, he regretted it. As a monarch, the people below wanted to do it, how could he be less confident than them!
Fortunately, Ma He didn't care about it when his enthusiasm was high, "It can be done, Your Highness, it must be done! I have consulted so many albums, I believe it will be possible! It's just that there are many difficulties in it, and it needs Your Highness's help." support……"

"Tell me, just speak up if you need anything!" Zhu Yunxi said grandly.

Ma He didn't hide it, and saluted and said: "Your Highness, to make a sea-going ship, you need a large number of craftsmen, and relying on the existing craftsmen of Longjiang Shipyard should not be enough...

We also need to plant lacquer trees, tung trees, palm trees, etc., as well as large enough camphor wood, wood edge leather and other shipbuilding materials, as well as a giant rudder stock, all of which must be stocked..."
