Daming heir

Chapter 290 It's still early, let's go to Jiaofang

"Are you crazy?"

"Still coming back from Cochin Road, never resting, hysterical?"

"If you find a few things, you can change to a duke. Are you afraid of being impeached by the censors to death?"

Zhu Gaochi put down the paper in his hand heavily, stretched out the back of his hand and pressed it on Zhu Yunxi's forehead, his face was full of tears, wanting to find out what it was, and it made Brother Xi go crazy to find these things.

He also spoke eloquently, with these things, Da Ming can coexist with the sun and the moon.

what does this mean?
With these things, can the Ming Dynasty become the only one in the world?The real Wannian Dynasty?

Believe it or not, if the words that happened here just now spread to the old man's ears outside, the old man can break his leg without waiting for the censors to write the memorial.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gaochi from the outside, frowned and said, "You don't understand! As long as you have these things, what I said can really be done!"

"I don't need to understand this!" Zhu Gaochi showed his tough attitude in front of Zhu Yunxi for the first time in his life, and said with a sullen face: "It is impossible for Daming to rely on those few things you have to be able to prosper forever."

Zhu Yunxi sneered, this kid has never seen the production of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

There are many reasons for the development of the Central Plains Dynasty from a population of tens of millions to that sensitive figure of [-] million, but potatoes and sweet potatoes are definitely one of the most important reasons.

Do you really think those idiots in the northern mountains and forests can do good things to make the people live and work in peace and prosperity?
I bother!

Cursing and cursing in his mind, Zhu Yunxi looked solemnly at Zhu Gaochi, who was still with unclear anger on his face: "As long as I can find these things, I can make Daming's yield per mu exceed...ten stones! Or even more!"

When it came to the end, Zhu Yunxi finally refrained from making the figure of this mu yield even bigger.

Today's Ming Dynasty is slipping into the Little Ice Age step by step. This is a global climate problem that affects all human beings. However, for this world, it is just a small wave in the long-lasting years.

The disadvantage is that the north is getting colder and the natural disasters have been going on for years.

If they can't fight against the gods, human beings have no choice but to turn inward against their own people.

Potatoes are extremely cold-resistant plants, and have the advantages of high yield and high energy, and the delicate taste can be more acceptable to people.

As for sweet potatoes with a higher yield, although the taste is not as good as potatoes, and there are relatively few cooking methods, the higher yield, more utilization rate and wide planting range are the real decisive things.

As for corn and chili, it is purely for Zhu Yunxi to enrich the tastes of the common people.

The ancestors of human beings came from the prehistoric era of drinking blood. At first, they were just like wild beasts, in order to fill their stomachs.

This is the most primitive fundamental desire of human beings.

When primitive humans started to eat enough, they would want to put on clothes, use and manufacture tools, and use the manufactured tools to build a huge civilization.

When the people in this world can satisfy their appetites, many problems will no longer be problems.

after all……

They are just too kind.

They are just too patient.

Zhu Gaochi's face changed from anger at the beginning to contempt, and he felt that Zhu Yunxi had really lost his head.

Ten stones per mu?

You must know that in Daming today, the best fields only produce three or four stones per year.

Note that this refers to places such as Jiangnan where two rounds can be planted.

More than double the output?

If it wasn't for Zhu Gaochi thinking that Zhu Yunxi might have another purpose, he would have left at this time.

He silently looked at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji who were beside him.

Seeing the strong shock and doubt on their faces, they nodded slightly.

Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yunxi who still believed in what he said.

See, these four people, three of them don't believe the crazy talk you said.

The expressions of the three people in front of him were seen by Zhu Yunxi at a glance.

Because of the limitations of the times, he couldn't express his contempt for these three people.

With a long sigh, Zhu Yunxi pondered for a long time: "Actually, if the operation is done properly, I have the confidence to increase the yield per mu to twenty shi..."

Zhu Gaochi was completely speechless, his shoulders drooped, and he sighed softly: "No matter what you want to do, what you said here, you'd better go out and forget it."

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and looked at Zhu Gaochi suspiciously: "I really don't want anything, just to let the people get more harvest."

By this time, Zhu Yunxi finally realized something was wrong.

It seems that what I and Xiaopang are thinking are not the same thing.

This guy thinks he can only be a despicable politician who is cunning and treacherous, thinking about conspiracy and tricks all day long?
Just when he wanted to show that he was wholeheartedly for Daming.

Outside, Zhu Shangbing, who was still yelling to go to bed, came in with a dark face.

As soon as Zhu Shangbing entered the small study and walked to the tea table, he sat cross-legged on the seat opposite Zhu Gaochi.

"Didn't you say you want to rest?"

Zhu Gaochi asked this question.

Zhu Shangbing snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi: "Can you send Uncle 23 away."

That's it.

It must be that Zhu Wei knew the rules of the small study in the East Palace. When Zhu Yunxi arrived in the small study, he didn't dare to come, so he ran to quarrel with the eldest nephew of the second brother's family who had just returned to Beijing.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Shangbing.

Zhu Shangbing drank it all in one gulp, and then asked in confusion, "What twenty stones are you talking about just now? What are you going to do?"

When Zhu Shangbing brought up this matter again, Zhu Gaochi paused, and then explained what happened just now.

Zhu Shangbing, who was drinking tea while listening to the explanation, stared at Zhu Yunxi gradually becoming ambiguous.

Finally, he sneered twice.

"Although I don't know much about farming, I also know that the land is limited and the harvest is roughly the same every year."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi ignored him.

Zhu Shangbing waved his finger to the tea table in front of him: "If you can really do it, I will eat this table?"

Zhu Yunxi laughed immediately: "Really?"

"I ate the cushion too!"

"This is what you said."

"I, Zhu Shangbing, said it!"

Zhu Shangbing held his head high, his face full of disbelief: "What if you can't do it?"

"I will let you be the governor just like Uncle Seventeen."

Zhu Shangbing unexpectedly had this unexpected joy, his eyes lit up, thanks to the lovely Uncle 23.

Afterwards, he hurriedly said with a sullen face, "That's what you said."

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth rose slightly, and he said flatly: "A gentleman promises a thousand gold."

Zhu Gaochi looked left and right, and suddenly felt that he was a little too sure of his own ideas.

He blinked and looked at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji who were beside him, and saw a trace of suspicion in their eyes.

No matter how I look at it, I feel that Brother Bing is going to be sold by Brother Xun, and he still needs to help Brother Xun count the money?

Did you see it wrong?
Zhu Gaochi coughed lightly with a sullen face, and said softly: "It doesn't matter whether what you said is true or not. But if you offer rewards to the people like that, Grandpa Huang will still break your legs. Unless you think Yili drove the people away to hunt for treasures When things happen, Grandpa Huang will still indulge and pamper you."

Zhu Yunxi, who wanted to reason and make Xiaopang believe that he could open his eyes to him, suddenly stopped.

Zhu Yunxi frowned.

I didn't even think of this crop.

It seems that I really stayed in Cochin Road for too long, and was misled by Chen Qiong, who was destined to have a bad asshole, and only knew how to do things in a rough way.

Damn Chen Qiong!
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had finally come to his senses, Zhu Gaochi had a smile on his face.

He hummed and said softly: "The prince of the prince, the reward of a thousand gold. How many people in this world do you think can continue to do things honestly?"

Zhu Yunxie, who had already realized that his plan was as rough as the damned Chen Qiong, began to remain silent.

Xia Yuanji took a look, then opened his mouth to ease.

"If I know that there are such things in the world, I will definitely be ecstatic, wishing I could hold them in my hands the next moment."

After explaining for the grandson, Xia Yuanji said again: "It's just that since the founding of our dynasty, almost all the princes and princes are ministers who have made great contributions to the founding of the country.

Now that you have found a few things, you can be ranked as a minister and rest with the country.Not to mention the common people, even the ministers are very moved.If you really want to offer such a reward, all the ministers want to hang up their jobs and go out to search. "

Lao Xia understands people's hearts and economics.

Zhu Gaochi stared at Xia Yuanji with satisfaction, and nodded silently.

Here are all his own people, Zhu Yunxi has no attitude of claiming to be lonely and respectful.

He nodded bluntly and gave a hum, and admitted: "I was wrong. Money touches people's hearts, and rewards from princes will inevitably cause chaos among the people, and no one will work hard."

Zhu Gaochi looked at it, and then suggested: "The place where you write, tell the world, and you will be rewarded for everything you find. Is this article appropriate?"

Not to mention what the reward is, but let the world know that the imperial court is looking for such a thing.

Those who are interested will pay attention to it. Although it is impossible to directly bring about an upsurge in searching for seeds, it is the safest way.

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "Let's write according to this."

Undoubtedly, Zhu Gaochi's suggestion is sound.

This is the case with mature political methods, never talking too much, leaving room for it.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi gradually calmed down, and turned to look at Xia Yuanji: "I heard that Europa also has many things that I have never had in the Central Plains. Brother Wei Zhe is now in the household department, dealing with barbarians and merchants, and you can also ask about it. them."

He knew that the later sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Central Plains were all brought back from those Baipishou.

But he was not sure exactly when these white skins brought these things to the Central Plains, let alone when these white skins got these things.

It seems that it has to be pushed back for more than a hundred years, and the white skins got it from the new land on the other side of the ocean when they started the age of great voyages?

However, using each island as a springboard, it is not certain that those white skins have already obtained those high-yielding crops and new species.

Or maybe the droppings of migratory birds with seeds landed on the land of Europa whiteskins.

If it was a hundred years later, he would definitely take people to the white skins to snatch the things back, and completely interrupt their historical process along the way.

But Xie Jin, who had been looking down at Zhu Yunxi's drawing, suddenly picked up a piece of paper, frowned and said, "This thing is called pepper? It seems to have appeared in Yunnan Road and other places."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Xie Jin nodded and shook his head again: "Not sure, I will verify this matter."

Zhu Shangbing looked at the crowd, and suddenly whispered from the side: "Is the bet just now still worth it?"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head silently, he had already begun to doubt whether his judgment was right or not.But Brother Bing probably wanted to be ashamed to see him because he was cheated.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "My brother, why would I lie to you?"

……

"I lie to you?"

"Uncle 23, you are spouting blood!"

"I, Zhu Yunxi, will never be humiliated!"

"You still want to leave the palace? You should go back to Concubine Li Xian for dinner today."

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yunxi, who was about to leave the palace, stared at Zhu Tong who was hugging her thigh tightly and threatened loudly.

Sure enough, Zhu Gong's face tightened: "I don't want to go back to my mother's place for dinner."

Zhu Yunxi's face softened a little, but there was still a trace of anger: "Then what did I promise you?"

Zhu Wei shook his head uneasily: "No."

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Then do you want to leave the palace?"

"x..." As soon as a syllable was pronounced, Zhu Qin immediately shook his head: "I don't want to."

Then, she sat on Zhu Yunxi's feet and looked up at him eagerly.

Zhu Yunxi's expression softened completely: "Then continue to stay in the East Palace for dinner."

Zhu Gong immediately showed a smile without any concealment and Cheng Fu, fearing that his eldest nephew would repent, and ran away without a trace.

Zhu Yunxi looked helplessly at Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun who were following behind him.

He reached out and pinched the faces of the two girls.

Tang Queqing has the kind of natural and generous personality, while Mu Caiyun has the gentleness of Xiaojiabiyu.

Looking at the two girls with completely different styles, Zhu Yunxi showed a smile that he couldn't get any better, and said softly: "Today, I'm going to the Jiangzuo prison and the Shanglinyuan prison to have a look, there's not much to do, I'll come back to talk to you when I'm done. "

Mu Caiyun lowered her head shyly, and hummed softly.

Tang Queqing stepped forward and hung a sachet on Zhu Yunxi's waist.

"Concubine Hui said that you and the two eldest sons have finally returned to the capital. It is now spring, and she wants to hold a spring feast in the palace. Firstly, it is to follow up and see if you are okay. Secondly..."

Tang Queqing couldn't say the second thing.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, pinched Tang Queqing's cheek again, and whispered in his ear: "When I come back, I want tonight..."

Tang Queqing blushed, pushed Zhu Yunxi away, and glanced shyly at the ignorant Mu Caiyun beside him.

Zhu Yunxi went all the way out of the palace gate, and Sun Cheng and Tian Mai came together.

Because Zhu Gaochi wanted to write a family letter to Peiping, and Zhu Shangbing also accepted his Lao Tzu's lesson, neither of them came.

As for Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji, things are very busy now and they don't have time.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two of them, then waved his hands: "Go to Shanglinyuan Prison first, and then go to the general prison when you come back."

Located in the Shanglin Garden Prison at the foot of Shenlie Mountain, paddy fields were already cultivated beside the Qianhu Lake, but the scale is even larger now.

When Zhu Yunxue took his people and stopped the guards in front of the yamen to report, he quietly arrived at the front lake.

At a glance, the entire experimental field belonging to Shanglin Yuanjian beside the front lake is full of busy people with their sleeves and trousers rolled up, bent over and bent over.

Can't tell the difference between officials and officials or farmers.

From some unknown place, Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, who was dressed in the same attire and held a handful of rice seedlings, had already appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi.

Yuan Sutai held up the rice seedlings in his hand, smiling all over his face: "Your Highness, these are all rice plants planted this year, and the root system is more robust. Now the ministers have been able to control the number of grains on the ears of rice to stabilize at more than [-] grains."

Yuan Sutai, who had already passed the third rank, now his limbs were covered with mud, and as he walked out of the paddy field, it was gradually drying up, turning gray and cracked.

Even the clothes and face were covered with mud spots.

But in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, they were as bright and dazzling as stars.

This is the Ming official he wants to see.

Zhu Yunxi gave a gratified smile: "I am alone on Jiaozhi Road, and I also heard about the Shanglin Garden's supervision of agriculture and mulberry. We work together to protect our Daming Agriculture and Mulberry Society, benefiting all people, and have made great achievements."

Probably because of bending over for a long time in the fields, and because of the special nature of Shanglin Yuanjian, there will not be many disputes in the court.

Now, the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, who is under the third rank, rarely can see the official appearance of the court official, but more like a diligent old farmer who only provides one-year rations for the whole family.

Hearing Taisun's praise, Yuan Sutai didn't refuse or accept it, but just showed a smile: "The fine seeds that Taisun sent back from Jiaozhi Road, I started to cultivate them last year. The fine seeds that Sun sent back are enough for the ministers to increase their production."

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Gu has already written about the world, looking for all new species. At that time, the Shanglin Garden Superintendent will ask everyone to contribute to cultivating good species, for the sake of the stomachs of the people in the world."

Yuan Sutai froze for a moment, with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although the official documents of Xingwen Tianxia looking for the things he wanted in the past have not been spread all over the world, the pedestrian department and the general administration envoy have spread the news to all the departments and yamen of Yingtai City early in the morning.

But the thought just flashed by, and Zhu Yunxi felt relieved again. Looking at Yuan Sutai's appearance at this moment, he knew that he had just entered the field when he arrived at the yamen.

Not knowing is also normal.

Yuan Sutai realized it at this time, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has done something to benefit the people, and the ministers must work tirelessly and never let His Highness down."

Zhu Yunxi took a look and saw that Yuan Sutai seemed to be thinking about reclaiming the entire Shenlie Mountain into fields, so he waved his hands without saying a word, and led a group of people away from Shanglinyuan Prison.

It wasn't until after he left that Yuan Sutai realized that he hadn't sent off his grandson yet.

"Your Highness! This concrete is really strong, it won't fall down the rocks. Even a sledgehammer is easy to shake. If it is poured into a wall, it only needs half a foot to block the bombardment of artillery."

From the quiet Shanglin Court Prison to the clanging General Prison, Zhu Yunxi was dragged and talked non-stop by the former Craftsman Zhang who had transformed from a craftsman to a petty official of the eighth rank.

After talking about cement, Mr. Zhang introduced Zhu Yunxi one by one.

"According to His Highness, adding other ores to the molten steel costs a lot, but now the little... I have brought some people to think about it. But this is very time-consuming. Now I just improved the method of steelmaking and casting. Ways to do things faster."

"Longjiang Shipyard didn't cooperate very much. I asked them to make a dragon skeleton so that I could cover it with an iron sheet and try to see if I could go into the water. I scolded me there. Fortunately, I finally sent a five hundred dragon skeleton. The skeleton of a ship's keel."

"The matter of the mining machine... I am incompetent. I haven't found the way yet. Fortunately, it is scrapped and can be returned to the furnace to be smelted and redone."

Being able to change from a craftsman to an official made Zhang craftsman believe from the bottom of his heart that as long as it was said by his grandson in this life, no matter how exaggerated and unrealistic it sounded, he had to do it himself.

If you can't do it yourself, it's not because Taisun's whimsical ideas are too wild, but because you are too stupid to complete the things Taisun told you.

Zhu Yunxi watched silently all the way through this comprehensive workshop that was completely controlled by craftsman Zhang, a small official from the eighth rank because of himself.

After the other party finished speaking, he and the others walked to the shade of a tree outside the workshop.

"Practice slowly about alloys, and finding the formula is the most important thing. The firecracker needs to be improved, and the thing about preloading the medicine pack that I told you last time should be done quickly."

Seeing the hesitation on Zhang Jiangren's face.

Zhu Yunxi then continued: "If you are short of people or food, go to the household department to find Xia Yuanji, just tell me that I asked you to find him."

Craftsman Zhang, who got the promise, nodded in response.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Since the cement is ready, let's arrange craftsmen and train more skilled apprentices. After a while, we will start to work hard."

Craftsman Zhang all nodded in agreement, and made a bet on his chest, that even if he died, he would do well with the things that his grandson told him.

Wait until you come out of the newly built workshop that will be the supervisor.

Zhu Yunxi looked forward.

Sun Cheng beside him said in a low voice: "Third Lord, are you going back to the palace now?"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly said, "It's still early, let's go to the Jiaofang."
