Chu Ze was confused, but his hand movements were not slow at all.

He opened the memorial and took a look.

"..."

"........."

"So, it's better to come early than to come by chance?" The corners of Chu Ze's mouth couldn't help but turn up. He held up the memorial with a very proud expression.

Zhu Biao stood aside and looked at him with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial and said, "You are very lucky, boy. You are a lucky star."

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and acknowledged the compliment.

"Now what?"

In the wilderness of the northwest, people are so hungry that they eat grass.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang is here is for this matter.

They were discussing, but Chu Ze came with such good news.

What is this called?

If you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel happy.

He put down the memorial and said: "We and Biao'er just made a calculation. Our food reserves are not enough. You just said that this cassava is edible, right? Then we will find a way to get some cassava to send over. But how to eat it? "Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze.

He didn't forget that Chu Ze had just said that cassava was poisonous.

For example, even the dew pill was created to understand the poison of cassava.

But no one thought that what was used to detoxify in the Kipchak Khanate would become a "magic medicine" in the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, it's simple. The fresh cassava needs to be peeled first and then soaked in water. It is best to soak it for six days and then cook it again, so that it will no longer be poisoned." Chu Ze explained the method of eating it. , after Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he immediately asked Zhu Biao to write it down on paper.

Then he immediately sent people to the Kipchak Khanate to import cassava.

After having someone buy it, he immediately sent it to the northwest.

Along with it, there is also the food method that Chu Ze just mentioned.

To relieve the famine in the northwest.

Chu Ze couldn't get involved in these matters, so he just sat aside, drinking tea and snacks, and listening to Zhu Yuanzhang order his officials to do things.

After he finished, Chu Ze stepped forward and told Qiao Sheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said angrily: "Come here, arrest all Qiao Sheng's family and kill them immediately after interrogation!"

He even extended his hands to the army, and Zhu Yuanzhang was merciful even if he did not barbarize the other nine tribes.

Chu Ze still stood aside and listened.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, he said to Chu Ze: "Do you still remember the little eunuch who drowned in the palace before?"

Of course Chu Ze remembered.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have led the next month to find out everything.

Seeing Chu Ze nodding, Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

"We have found out clearly that the little eunuch took the dew pill and had hallucinations before he fell into the water and died." At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became uncontrollably heavy.

No matter whether this drug directly kills people or not.

But it is a fact that it can harm people.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not tolerate it.

Chu Ze was silent for a moment and asked, "Then, Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Chu Ze and did not answer.

"We said before that if you do these two things well, we will give you a big reward. Do you remember?" Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic.

"Of course I remember that. What does the emperor want to reward us?" Chu Ze wisely stopped asking and followed Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

This issue troubled Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time.

Chu Ze wants money now.

Although his official position is not high, his actual status is not low at all.

It can be said that one person is inferior to the other.

It has reached a position where there is no reward. Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time before he had an idea in his mind.

"We have several kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty, Biao'er. What do you think of adding one more?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao raised his head suddenly.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Chu Ze. The hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist subconsciously.

Chu Ze was also confused.

He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang doubtfully, not sure which song he was singing.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a long time, but before he could hear Zhu Biao's words, he frowned slightly and looked at him with an unhappy expression: "Biao'er, why don't you say anything? Do you think our reward is too low?"

Zhu Biaoxin said, this is too low.

This is too high.

It was so high that Zhu Biao felt like his heart was beating.

But the father was still waiting for his answer.

Zhu Biao couldn't think about it for too long and could only reply: "That's not the case. We are just thinking about what kind of king Father is going to give him?"

"Well, we have thought about it a long time ago. Let's call him 'King Jiaping'. Jiazi means good luck and praise, Ping means peace, comfort and stability. Chuze brings hope to our Ming Dynasty, so Jiaping is the right choice." Zhu Yuanzhang said with beaming eyes. He also emphasized how much time he spent thinking about this account.

But Chu Ze heard a cry of cold sweat.

Putting aside whether Zhu Yuanzhang really felt that he had brought hope to the Ming Dynasty, just these four words "comfort and stability" were enough for Chu Ze to think about.

He even speculated whether Zhu Yuanzhang was using this excuse to secretly remind him of something.

In short, Chu Ze only felt that his hair was on the ground.

Even the smile on his lips was unnatural.

He laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy. We just do it casually. Your Majesty, you must be blessed by God for all this, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to discover cassava in such a timely manner. The king or something like that Forget it, just give us some gold, we like that stuff."

Chu Ze rubbed his hands and made a greedy expression.

I hope to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to let it go easily.

He looked at Chu Ze with disapproval and said, "Others can't even ask for it, so why should I refuse it to you?"

"We're not refusing, we just think it's unrealistic." Chu Ze casually gave an excuse.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing.

He stood up, walked around the imperial cabinet, walked to Chu Ze, patted his shoulder, and said funnyly: "The title of Prince is not practical? With the title of Prince, are you still afraid of not having money? Do it well, imperial edict It will be issued in the next two days." After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he walked away with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, Chu Ze wanted to cry but had no tears.

Zhu Zifan was quite worried about Chu Ze at first, but seeing his expression, he was no longer worried.

He came over and said jokingly: "King Jiaping, my father thinks so highly of you, aren't you happy?"

Happy?

He really wanted to be happy.

Chu Ze looked back at Zhu Biao aggrievedly.

Although he didn't say a word, he expressed it vividly with his eyes.

Zhu Biao laughed happily.

This made Chu Ze's face full of resentment: "We are like this and you still laugh, it's so heartless." Chu Ze expressed his kindness with his middle finger.

Zhu Biao gave him a middle finger.

After joking for a while, Zhu Biao asked Chu Ze to sit down.

"Do you understand what our father means?"

Chu Ze took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "How dare we not understand? They say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and it is absolutely true."

Zhu Biao did not refute.

"As long as you know. Is there anything going on these days?" Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze looked sideways in confusion: "Yes. Is there something wrong?" (End of Chapter)
