Chapter 40

Zhu Yuanzhang observed Zhang Yi, and when he saw himself, there was no expression of any displeasure on his face because of what happened last time.

He sighed in his heart that the child's temperament was indeed different from ordinary people.

Lao Zhu pretended to be calm and said:

"Why, I haven't seen you for more than a month, so I can't come to you?"

"Uncle was joking, you are my meal ticket in Yingtian Mansion, if you don't come to see me, I will starve to death!"

meal ticket?

Although he didn't know what it was, Lao Zhu could feel that Zhang Yi really didn't take what happened that day to heart, he felt better, and then asked the guards outside to bring in the boxes one by one.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang brought in fifty large boxes for Zhang Yi and placed them in the Taoist temple.

Fifty large boxes still look very shocking.

Zhang Yi watched these boxes being opened one by one, and also took a deep breath.

"I even got the quartz sand, Uncle Huang, you can do it!"

Zhang Yi made a list for Huang He at the beginning, and he actually had no hope for many things.

Daming's commodity flow and population flow are all under control. It's very difficult to get some rare materials. It's not that he didn't work hard in Longhu Mountain before, but he just couldn't get it.

Although there are few things in the box in front of me, it is enough.

Zhang Yi's eyes are shining, he is really excited!

This scene fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and Lao Zhu was slightly proud. If Zhang Yi behaved calmly about anything, he would instead be careful about this child. Since he wants something, he can be used.

Old Zhu said:
"These things, you can mention whatever you need, your uncle and I still have some connections!"

"Thank you uncle for that one, I need more garlic!"

"What do you want garlic for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious. He knew that Zhang Yi had many unique abilities. Could it be that garlic can also be used to make alchemy?

Zhang Yi smiled but didn't answer, and Lao Zhu didn't ask any more questions.

"Brother, help me make a pot of tea and come in!"

Zhang Yi asked Deng Zhongxiu to instruct the guards to put these materials away, and took Zhu Biao and his son to the backyard.

Deng Zhongxiu made tea and filled it for the two of them, while Zhang Yi drank his plain water.

With the contents of the secret melody, Lao Zhu has long been aware of Zhang Yi's little trick.

"Why don't you drink tea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to ask Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi replied, "I'm still young, so I don't drink tea!"

"The mountain spring water is very clear and sweet, but you drink the boiled water. What do you say?"

This is the question that Lao Zhu really wanted to ask. Zhang Yi didn't think too much, and answered directly:

"Because there are insects in the water..."

There is no need to hide from Zhu Yuanzhang what he said to Chang, and with his relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, he can say more,
"The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Why can't I see the worms? Could it be that you saw something in your dream again?"

Zhang Yi nodded and said:

"I read in the heavenly book that there will be two countries at war in the future world. One country will destroy the country with invisible insects, and the other country will dissolve it by boiling water. This method is not metaphysics, but it can be verified by future generations. thing!"

Zhang Yi detailed a certain event in the future time and space. Most of the people who lived in Zhang Yi's previous life are familiar with that period of history, because this event has truly changed their lives.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, listening to Zhang Yi's story about what happened in China for later generations, felt it was ridiculous.

If it weren't for Zhang Yi's previous experience to guarantee, Lao Zhu would not believe a word he said.

Although Zhang Yi only said a few words, it was impressive.

"Although soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is still a villain's behavior! I... really make people look down on such methods!"

Old Zhu despised this kind of behavior. Although the soldiers were cunning, using soldiers to attack with water, fire, sex and other methods were common, even if they killed prisoners and slaughtered the city, Lao Zhu could understand it.

Many methods, in fact, are to deter the enemy, and the ultimate goal is to reduce the cost of attack and rule.

But what Zhang Yi said has definitely broken the bottom line.

It's not giving the common people a way out at all. Lao Zhu, who was a disaster victim, quickly put himself in it and became more and more angry.

Zhu Biao also nodded on the side. This way of using troops is by no means a kingly teacher.

The battle between the two countries in the future is a distant thing for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao after all, but from Zhang Yi's story, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that drinking boiled water is not easy.

It turns out that the method of destroying the country was resolved by this simple boiling water?
Zhu Yuanzhang found this incident more and more miraculous.

"Boiling water, is it that powerful?"

The emperor couldn't help asking, Zhang Yi smiled and said:
"You can see the big road in a small place. High-end ingredients often only need the purest cooking method, and many methods with miraculous effects are mediocre...Uncle Huang, I'm not bragging. There must be tens of thousands of people who survived!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were moved. If this is the case, is that a lot?
Knowing that Lao Zhu didn't believe it, Zhang Yi popularized the knowledge of microbes, bacteria and viruses, and told how many diseases could be prevented by drinking boiled water.

At least diseases related to polluted water sources include cholera, dysentery, typhoid fever, hepatitis and polio, some of which were called plagues in ancient times...

"After the so-called catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe, to a large extent, it is also caused by the pollution of water sources..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Yi about this matter, it was just a casual question, but after Zhang Yi explained the truth, both his father and son couldn't sit still.

The plague has always been a difficult problem for successive rulers.

Once a plague occurs in a place, it will take away the lives of a large number of people. In fact, the plague has basically never stopped in this era.

It's just that because of the small population flow, most of them only maintain a relatively small intensity.

When the disaster occurs, the people will not be able to survive and start to flow, and the great plague that will sweep through the provinces and regions will also begin.

No one knows better than Lao Zhu how many people will die from the plague every year. These people are all people who can make tax contributions to Ming Dynasty.

The emperor was jealous.

"From the road to simplicity, it turns out that sometimes the solution to the problem is so simple?"

Zhu Biao sighed on the side, he has already begun to think about the bright future of Daming after the implementation of the boiling water order.

However, when he recovered, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi were staring at him with strange expressions.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Zhang Yi, you said..."

Old Zhu shook his head. Zhu Biao's ability to say this meant that he still had a lot to learn.

Zhang Yi heard the words and said:

"The people suffer! Brother Huang was born in a wealthy family, but he forgot about ordinary people. Is it easy to burn firewood?"

Zhu Biao's face turned red in an instant, it's alright that he was taught by his father, but he is not as good as a seven-year-old child?
