Daming heir

Chapter 241 Mount Tai collapsed before me, and I will go too!

In the room full of cotton fabrics, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of confusion and incomprehension.

He has lived in the entire Central Plains for 25 years, except for silk bedding, he has never been lying on such a soft bedding.What surprised him even more was that although it was already midsummer, he had only put on the cotton padded jacket for a while, and he already felt hot all over, with sweat constantly oozing from his back and inner thighs.

And this, he has not experienced anywhere else.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi who was kneeling on the side, he was tidying up the quilt that he had overturned.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to fan the wind for himself, and asked: "There are so many Zhejiang...cotton things here, you must have asked someone to handle this matter here."

Zhu Yunxi didn't know where, so he got a cooling fan, and called Sun Gou'er, who rushed over, into the house to clean up the quilts on the floor, while he fanned the cooling fan to cool down the old man.

And he also began to explain: "After returning to Beijing a few days ago, my grandson went to the supervisor of Shanglin Garden and saw cotton planted, so I thought that this thing is obviously very soft when it grows, but usually it can only be made into a hard one. The white stack of cloth, it should not be true."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "So, these cotton fabrics that are still as soft as they were when they grew are the solutions you came up with?"

Zhu Yunxie immediately shook his head: "It can't be said that Sun'er came up with it alone. After all, manpower was limited. Sun'er proposed a few ideas, and then the craftsmen in the palace and the prisoner tried many times, and finally That’s when I found a way.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, recalling that when he was scolded by the woman in the room as an old hooligan earlier, he saw the cotton with white eyes, that strong woman was carrying a long pole on her back, a long like Something like a bowstring.

With the bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang by the women, and as the trembling bowstrings flicked on the cotton, the clumps would be crushed and then entangled.

Come to think of it, that's the way to make cotton soft.

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly: "Okay, Grandpa just put on the cotton-padded jacket for a while, and covered himself with a quilt for less than a cup of tea, and he is already sweating. This is a good thing!"

At this time, Yuan Sutai and others had already rushed over from behind.

Several people entered the room, and when they saw the cotton fabrics in the room, as well as the clean and processed cotton piled aside, their faces were overjoyed.

Yuan Sutai cupped his hands and stepped forward: "The grandson has already solved the difficulty of cotton."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "It's just a fluke, and there are craftsmen working day and night to solve the problem, so we can find a way."

Yuan Sutai nodded, and immediately turned around and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to try these things?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is now very happy with the Shanglinyuan Yamen, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After a while, Yuan Sutai, who persisted longer than the emperor, was sweating profusely, but reluctantly crawled out of the quilt, and took off the cotton coat on his body even more amazed.

Sun Gou'er, who had already packed his things, looked at Yuan Sutai with some dissatisfaction.These things were used by His Majesty just now. According to the rules, he was going to bring them back to the palace, but this person used them again.

Yuan Sutai didn't know what Sun Gou'er was thinking, and turned around to face the emperor and grandson.

"I congratulate Your Majesty, I got another treasure today!"

Yuan Sutai was indescribably excited at the moment, holding his hands together, letting the sweat drip down his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed lightly, but it was also difficult to conceal the joy in his heart.

He pressed his hands and nodded, "We know, we also know. Clothing, food, housing, and transportation have always been the top priority of the people. Among them, food, clothing, and housing are the most important. When I went to the palace today, I never thought that we could see two things A good thing that involves people's livelihood!"

After finishing speaking, the old man couldn't help but look dotingly at Zhu Yunxi who was standing aside with his hands folded.

Yuan Sutai let out a long sigh: "Increase grain production, so that we can gradually plan it and solve the problem of whether the people can eat enough. Now that there are these cotton fabrics, as long as they are used for a few years, Daming will never have a cold winter again." The twelfth lunar month endures the bitter wind and snow."

Immediately, Yuan Sutai clasped his hands and asked to play: "Your Majesty, the Shanglin Garden Supervisor has stored a lot of cotton seeds over the years. I request your Majesty to issue a decree to plant cotton in the dry and mountainous areas of Yingtianfu and Zhili. I am willing to use the grain seeds." Increasing production and planting cotton is a lifelong matter, and we will work hard."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled on the spot following Yuan Sutai's pleading for orders from the right supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

Afterwards, he waved his back behind him with a big hand, and solemnly said: "Order, Shanglinyuan supervises the left and right supervisors, grants the third grade, fills in vacancies, handles the agricultural and mulberry affairs in the Central Plains, and improves the affairs. I have a great Ming and a prosperous world."

Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to wait until he returned to the palace to make a decision, and announced to the court that he would raise the standards of the Shanglinyuan Supervisory Office. After hearing Yuan Sutai's plea, he made a decisive decision.

From Sanpin!
In Beijing, you can directly take charge of Guanglu Temple and Taichang Temple, and you can go further to be the Minister of the Six Departments.

If it is released outside, it can participate in politics for various Taoists, such as Fanma Temple, Transshipment Department and other yamen chief officials.

Even though he knew that the supervisor of Shanglin Garden had already passed today, he could be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart, and there must be a reward afterwards.

But what Yuan Sutai and his colleagues in the yamen did not expect, Shanglin Yuanjian directly became a big yamen comparable to the five temples.

The official rank of the left and right supervisors has been promoted from the third rank, so the people below will naturally be promoted one by one!
Although they are still doing the same thing, their status and power are completely different.

Yuan Sutai and others couldn't help but think too much.

Everyone bowed to the ground one after another, shouting long live and thanking each other.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang has seen the scene where the people of Ming Dynasty lived without worries and had no worries about food and clothing. Zhu Yuanzhang had an imaginative smile on his face.

Zhu Yunxi walked up to the old man silently, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, in fact, the most important function of this cotton is to be provided by the soldiers in northern Xinjiang with enough cotton armor to keep out the cold."

Northern Xinjiang.

army.

keep out the cold.

Armor.

The combination of several phrases immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still immersed in his imagination, frown.

He immediately came back to his senses, looked at Yuan Sutai and others who were standing aside in a bowed posture, and said softly: "We want to talk to the grandson."

Without further words from the emperor, Yuan Sutai and others bowed and retreated immediately.

Sun Gou'er looked around, looked at the quilts and other cotton goods in the room, and finally gave up the idea of ​​bringing some back to the palace today, winter is still very early.

After Sun Gou'er left the house and closed the door from the outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at Zhu Yunxi with twinkling eyes, his expression was far more excited than before.

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently: "The grandson is already in Zhili, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places, and sent people to buy cotton. Although there are not many plants in various places because of the manufacturing method, but if you buy it carefully and return to Beijing, you can make it before this winter. A lot of cotton armor was shipped to Peiping."

While talking, he had already found a cotton jacket from the house.

It is very docile, not as soft and puffy as cotton clothes, this is also to allow officers and soldiers to perform their movements more flexibly.

In addition, in the important parts of the body, the cotton armor is also covered with a layer of soft leather, and then a layer of iron sheet.

Zhu Yuanzhang has just personally experienced the function of cotton-padded clothes to keep warm.At the moment, he was carrying the cotton armor, weighing the weight, and hitting various places with his fist a few times.

Then he looked at Zhu Yunxi deeply: "Tell grandpa, how many cotton armors can you make and send to Peiping this winter?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and after careful calculation, he said a very conservative figure: "Three to five thousand pieces of cotton armor can probably be produced in a hurry."

"It's just a guard horse..." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became tangled.

In the military system of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 5000 soldiers per guard.

Even if each person wears a cotton armor, it can only be equipped with one guard's soldiers and horses. More than 5000 people are really nothing if they are placed on the grassland outside the Great Wall.

Zhu Yunxie said in a low voice: "The sharpening of knives can still be done. The right is to let the soldiers know how to fight in the cold winter in advance."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Let's do it first. When the things are delivered to Beiping, the rest depends on what fourth uncle wants to do."

There is no such thing as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops wearing cotton armor, going north out of the Great Wall, and plowing the grassland in the cold winter. This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little uninterested, so he waved his hand and opened the door.

Zhu Yunxi followed behind and looked at the sky.

Hurry back to the palace now, just in time for dinner.

Seeing that the affairs of Laoshan Huangzhuang were finished today, Zhu Yunxi was about to ask the old man if he wanted to go back to the palace.

Instead, he saw Tian Mai rushing in from Zhuangzi in a hurry, his face flushed because of the hot weather, and he came to Zhu Yunxi with the smell of sweat.

Tian Mai first stopped and bowed, and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty sees you."

After finishing the matter, Tian Mai leaned close to Zhu Yunxi's ear and reported in a low voice.

After he finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but frowned, and immediately attracted Zhu Yuanzhang, who was looking at the room with the sound of plucking cotton, who was outside the courtyard.

After Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to signal Tian Mai to go down, his brows furrowed and then relaxed several times.

When the old man finally looked over, Zhu Yunxi immediately smiled and said, "Grandpa, father is only a quarter of an hour away from Huangzhuang, why don't we finish our meal at Zhuangzi today and go back to the palace?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and snorted coldly: "Even your old man ran out, is there something wrong in Yingtian City?"

Zhu Yunxi could only nod his head, no matter what, he couldn't hide this matter.

He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Recently, I have brought my son to Beijing, and Lion Mountain has been entering and exiting all the time, and the bookstore publishes newspapers. All these things add up to make the Shilin students more and more lively. Today seems to be There was an argument, there was some commotion, and people were walking along Chongli Street to the east wall."

Chongli Street is the east-west avenue in front of Hongwu Gate. The south side of the whole street is guarded by the imperial guards, and the north side is the yamen of various ministries of the imperial court.

At the foot of the east city wall, besides the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shifu, and Tai Hospital, there is another book and newspaper office as a base for the dissemination of mind science.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of Ying Tiancheng after hearing the sound, and then smiled: "Since we have arrived at the meal, we will stay here and wait for the prince to come, and we will eat together before returning to the palace."

The emperor wanted to stay in Huangzhuang for dinner, and immediately attracted the old village chief who was still watching people working in the fields.

Several women who were praised as the best cooks in the village were pulled out of the field by the old village head and thrown into his kitchen.

After a while, the prince's carriage also entered Laoshan Huangzhuang.

Zhu Yunxi had already asked Tian Mai to return to the city first, and stared at the current affairs in the city.

And after looking at the kitchen where the bowls and pots were constantly ringing, he went in and stayed there for half an hour.

In the end, there was a table of meals dedicated to the emperor, the prince, and the grandson of the emperor by the women of Laoshan Huangzhuang.

After Zhu Yunxi washed off the greasy dirt on his hands with saponins and plant ashes, he sat next to the old man and the old man with the unconcealable smell of oily smoke on his body.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it silently, and happily took the rice bowl and picked up the vegetables to eat.

Zhu Biao looked at his son quietly, stretched out his hand, and before Zhu Yunxi could react, he slapped the ashes from the corner of his clothes.

Afterwards, Zhu Biao said softly, "Xie Jin, can you rest assured?"

Zhu Yunxi added a small fried fish to his father's rice bowl, and said silently: "If you don't panic, you can get things done. If you want to do things well, you have to face them yourself."

Zhu Biao smiled, nodded, picked up his rice bowl, lowered his head, and began to pull.

In the blink of an eye, only the three generations of old Zhu's grandfather and grandson were left on the dinner table, eating deliciously.

……

But in Yingtian City, especially in the direction of Dongcheng.

At this moment, there was already an uproar, and the noise made the officials of the various ministries run out one after another to check the situation.

After a few inquiries, most of the officials hid back in the yamen for fear of avoiding it. By the way, the servants of the yamen must guard the door, and they must not let an idler in today.

And some officials who were supposed to do good things followed far behind the crowd that had already crowded Chongli Street, watching the commotion ahead on tiptoe.

Only a small number of people, after hearing the movement outside the yamen, found reasons to leave the yamen. Under the chaotic situation in Dongcheng, most people never paid attention to the whereabouts of these people.

It is located at the root of the east city wall, in front of a brand-new building that is on the cusp of the storm.

A team of government guards and officers and soldiers had already heard the sound and moved, blocking the entire front of the building behind them.

At this moment, behind these officers and soldiers, the book and newspaper office was completely silent.

However, after a while, there was a noisy sound coming from inside.

"Bachelor!"

"Bachelor of Solution!"

"The big thing is not good! Those bastards are really looking for you!"

A small official in a blue shirt who was arrested by Xie Jin from the Imperial Academy rushed in through the small door that was open on the side of the Book and Newspaper Bureau with an anxious expression on his face.

The little official was as light as a swallow at the moment, and before anyone could see his face clearly, he sneaked into the book and newspaper office.

There was a shout in the house.

In the end, Xie Jin, who was buried in piles of books and the second issue of newspapers that had just been published, his face was still stained with ink, and he held a newspaper with black hands, straightened his back, popped out.

The little official finally found Xie Jin's figure, and immediately ran over after a few jumps, panting heavily: "Bachelor Xie, something big happened! All those scholars came towards the Book and Newspaper Bureau, and now they are in the office. Out on the street."

While talking, the clerk had already started counting the number of people in the book and newspaper office with his eyes, thinking about how many people he could bring out if something happened.

Xie Jin's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "Isn't there guards from the government guards outside? Could it be that those people have already rushed in?"

The little official froze for a moment, then stomped his feet anxiously, and begged: "Bachelor Xie, you should hurry up and get out of here with the little one. Go and hide in the palace, or you will wait for those people to surround you. Even if I wanted to go, I couldn’t go.”

At this time, other people in the Book and Newspaper Bureau also looked over.

Xie Jin looked around, with a smile on his face, and asked softly: "Everyone, we inherit the ambition of learning the mind and stay here day and night, just to promote the learning of the mind, promote the unity of knowledge and action, and teach me that scholars in the Ming Dynasty can understand the truth of the world. If you can comprehend that the books are not holy words, you should have true knowledge everywhere in the world, and the unity of knowledge and action, so as to seek the truth!
Now, there are those who don't understand, those who are angry, and those who are dissatisfied. They have all come today, and they want to condemn our life's work. Do you think that if there is life and death, how should we deal with ourselves? "

Here, in the Bureau of Books and Newspapers, Xie Jin followed Zhu Yunxi's proposal of the unity of knowledge and action, implying the promotion of the study of mind, and he found people who devoted themselves to the study of mind in Yingtian Guozijian, in the school, and among the scholars.

Now everyone is listening to Xie Jin's inquiry.

There was no discussion or concern.

These people, regardless of age, started to shout.

"Knowledge and action are one, seek the truth!"

"Knowledge and action are united!"

"Seek the truth!"

Xie Jin smiled, and gradually laughed loudly, and then waved his robe: "In this case, today is Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, and I will go too!"

"We will follow!"

The little official who came to report the news, saw Xie Xueshi and the group of scholars, and went straight to the outside of the Book and Newspaper Bureau regardless of dissuasion.

What was anxious was that his heart was burning with anger, he gritted his teeth, thinking of how many times the grandson had been here these days.He widened his eyes, searched the room for a while, and finally found a stick in his hand, stomped his feet and cursed secretly, and followed directly.

Outside the newspaper bureau.

By the time Xie Jin and the others came out, the entire street in front of the Book and Newspaper Bureau was completely surrounded by crowds.

When they rushed to the Book and Newspaper Office, the officers and soldiers of the government army guarding the street were already lined up, and they blocked the young scholars in front of them in front of the Book and Newspaper Office.

Seeing the roar of these young scholars through the bodies of the officers and soldiers, Xie Jin's face finally became serious.

The entire crowd in front of the Book and Newspaper Bureau was like a raging fire, roaring endlessly, almost drowning the Book and Newspaper Bureau.

"Stop the book and newspaper bureau!"

"Walking in Wenhua Palace, Hanlin scholar Xie Jin, come out to show the public and apologize!"

"Heretics should be burned!"

"Stop the book and newspaper bureau!"

"Xie Jin apologizes!"
