Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 16 Zhu Biao's Mission

Jinling Hotel.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen have returned.

After learning about the century-old events of the Ming Dynasty from Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the heart to continue wandering around with Su Jing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Su Jing said is very important, so he should return to the palace immediately."

Liu Bowen said very seriously.

Although he knew that this matter was actually a private matter of the emperor's family.

But as the hero of Conglong, Liu Bowen doesn't want the Ming Dynasty to disappear in less than 300 years.

He also has the idea of ​​immortality.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he said indifferently: "Go back to the palace immediately. In addition, Su Jing is keeping an eye on him. He must not be allowed to leave Lishui County!"

The Su Clan is in the middle of their business.

Su Jing is inspecting the results of the new textile machine.

With the operation of the female weaving workers, the silk threads are continuously aggregated at a rapid speed, and quickly become cloth.

The drawings given by the system are amazing!

Su Jing sighed in his heart, although it was just some new-style textile machines, their efficiency had been increased several times compared to the previous ones.

This is the basis for Su's cloth business to gain a foothold.

At the time of the linen business war, Su Jing already had a method of improving linen to ensure a sufficient supply of linen.

"Boss, you are truly a god."

Sun Ping looked at the new textile machine in front of him with admiration.

My own boss is simply omnipotent.

Su Jing smiled and said: "I'm not that smart, you manage the cloth business well, and the business will only grow bigger and bigger in the future."

"Yes, Master."

Sun Ping replied very happily.

Su Jing left Su's cloth shop, and came to a farmland in the countryside.

This is his private field, where he planted many large spices that he got from the system, and it is an important pillar of his several restaurants.

Seeing the crops growing well in the field, Su Jing was quite satisfied.

"Those two guys don't follow, it's really a lot easier."

Su Jing sighed with emotion.

Since the secret was leaked, these two people disappeared directly.

Su Jing can also understand, after all, this matter is not small, and the identities of the two are probably very unusual.

Speaking of the consequences, Su Jing wasn't too worried.

Anyway, what I said is the truth, even if those two people can really stab the emperor's ears, if they want to catch themselves, at worst they can just run away.

Su Jing practiced the martial arts given by the system day and night and never let up.

Too bad it hasn't been used for a long time.

The industry in Lishui County seems huge, but it was actually created by Su Jing in one year.

I have traveled through time and been reborn, there is nothing to be reluctant about.

Enjoy life, that's what you should do right now.

Thinking that the sweet potatoes had already been planted, Su Jing decided to start researching wine making.

Although alcohol is prohibited now, but private research, as long as it is not done on a large scale, it is not a big deal.

It is the Ming Dynasty now, and the craftsmanship of ancient wine making is very mature.

Unfortunately, the wine produced by this brewing method is generally not high in alcohol.

What Su Jing likes is high alcohol.

Not only can you drink it, but it can also be used for disinfection.

This is where the distillation method comes in.

Although there was already a distillation method in the Yuan Dynasty, it was not yet mature.

Because the ancients only knew that the method of distillation can increase the alcohol content, but the principle is not clear, and the operation is very simple.

And the distillation method used by Su Jing is a pure modern technique.

Of course, Su Jing himself is not a genius, he knows everything.

The craftsmanship of the distillation method is also a system reward.

In a closed room, all kinds of earthen jars are placed on the table, and Su Jing is constantly operating, just like an alchemist.

Fortunately, Su Jing cleared the scene long ago, otherwise, he would probably be misunderstood.

As the distillation process proceeds, the liquor continues to flow out.

After the alcohol was purified, the strong smell was extremely pungent, and Su Jing was quite happy to smell it.

This shows that I have succeeded!

Ying Tianfu.

Inside the Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang was handling official duties in the hall, and the 15-year-old prince Zhu Biao stood aside to observe and study.

"Biao'er, do you think I have a problem with offering to the children of the royal family now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.

This is his future heir to the Ming Empire, and Zhu Biao needs to learn about everything.

Zhu Biao was not surprised. Such sudden questions are what Zhu Yuanzhang often does.

"Father, my son thinks there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhu Biao replied respectfully.

Zhu Biao has a very good relationship with his younger brothers, and he thinks it is appropriate to share more offerings.

really.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly in his heart.

He is still very satisfied with his own prince.

Not only the other sons are very convinced, but also the various ministers in the court are very supportive.

Just like this, he also developed his benevolent virtue.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "What if I want to reduce the offerings of the royal family's descendants? What do you think?"

Cut royal offerings?

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Father, why did you do this? The Ming treasury is full, and there are a few royal descendants, what can't they support?"

"The treasury is full, and there are a few royal descendants."

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated Zhu Biao's words, and felt more and more how terrifying Su Jingzhi's talent was.

"Biao'er, I want to ask you something, how many royal descendants do you think the Ming Dynasty will have after 200 years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao and said seriously.

Zhu Biao was stunned.

He really didn't think about things that were 200 years away. At that time, not only was he gone, but his sons and grandchildren were also gone.

But after careful calculation, Zhu Biao was shocked.

If the current standard of enshrining the descendants of the royal family is used, as long as those with royal blood are supported by the Daming treasury, there may be millions of royal descendants that the Ming treasury will need to support in 200 years!
This is an incomparably huge number!

The huge two treasuries can only be a drop in the bucket.

If this enshrinement decree continues, the Ming Dynasty will eventually be dragged down by the descendants of the Zhu family!
"Father, this."

Zhu Biao looked at his father Zhu Yuanzhang with shock in his eyes.

He couldn't imagine that it was just the support of some royal descendants, it would be so terrifying!
"Father, it's my son's inappropriate thinking."

Zhu Biao bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Biao'er, I thought the same as you before I became a father. I thought it was nothing more than a few princes and grandchildren. However, if there is no change, Daming will collapse without foreign enemies."

"Is the emperor the same as the son?"

Zhu Biao raised his head with some doubts and said, "Then how did the father find out about this problem? Is it Liu Zhongcheng?"

Liu Bowen's talent is known all over the world, so Zhu Biao naturally thought of him first.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "It's not him, it's a businessman in Lishui County, named Su Jing, he has great talent!"

merchant!

Zhu Biao was shocked immediately.

He was very aware of his father's attitude towards businessmen, and he did not expect that there would be a businessman that his father could praise as a great talent.

But thinking about the 200 years of national fortune, this businessman named Su Jing is indeed a great talent!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and said, "Biao'er, I have something for you to do as a father. Go to Lishui County, worship Su Jing as your teacher, and learn from him."
