People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 392 I Lie You Down the Mountain for China's Dragon Protection
The Age of Discovery and the Great Exchange of Species.

For the world of afterlife, the changes are earth-shaking.

This change in the fate of the country is enough to make the Chinese nation, which has been crushing the world since the tribal era of rough hair and blood, gradually being suppressed by the West.

According to today's parlance, it means that the dragon's energy is moving westward.

Being able to complete the great voyage ahead of schedule, China can carry out a large-scale exchange of species ahead of schedule...

Be it the Ming Dynasty or China, in the Age of Discovery, they were already 100 years ahead of others.

At this moment, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Returning from Huangying America, he has almost fulfilled his responsibilities as a Chinese.

Travel through time and have no regrets today.

"Brother Huang, you and your people will stay in Longhu Mountain for one day. I will stay up late tonight and write the book for you..."

Without further ado, Zhang Yi counted the days and Shan Chun plowing was about to begin.

Drive the books out as soon as possible, whether it is the court or Longhu Mountain, so that these species can be planted as soon as possible.

He briefly chatted with Mu Ying, and then went back to his room.

Mu Ying and Zhang Normal were relatively speechless.

Lao Zhang asked people to take the matter seriously, and after putting away all the plants, he personally arranged for Mu Ying and others to live there.

It was the first time for Mu Ying to come to Longhu Mountain. Looking at this famous Taoist mountain, she was deeply moved.

The mountain in front of Longhu Mountain is full of incense.

Since the Medicine King Taishang was born, he has suppressed all Buddhas and Taoists.

Longhushan inherited the incense of the king of medicine, and it became more and more prosperous.

But the Taoist priests on the mountain seem to be different from other places.

Mu Ying fought with Zhu Yuanzhang when he was 12 years old. Although he was not old, he had a lot of experience.

He has seen many monks and Taoists in troubled times.

It is said that they are monks, but no matter who they are, they have seven emotions and six desires.

In a land of famous mountains, dragons and snakes are mixed.

He originally thought that this Longhu Mountain was the same as other places, but once he returned to the back mountain, everyone seemed to have their own heads, busy with their own affairs.

This spirit is not an army, but it also looks like an army.

"It was all fooled by my second child, and I went to memorize the periodic table of elements..."

Lao Zhang wanted to make Mu Ying look good, so he took the initiative to introduce:

"Let me tell you, Zhang Yi, the most priceless thing in this world is knowledge, and the only scholars who can calm down to study and seek knowledge without seeking fame and fame are probably only monks and Taoist priests!
So after he came back, he started to set up a [Medicine King Club] with Zhejiang Workshop and the money he earned in those years. The money he earned was used to encourage the disciples of Longhu Mountain to study things...

Some people are suitable for reading, some people are not suitable...

But after two years, suitable people will stay in the back mountain, and unsuitable people, Pindao will arrange them to go to the front to meet and send them away, and make the best use of everything..."

Chemistry is a term that Mu Ying has never heard of.

But this does not prevent Mu Ying from admiring Zhang Yi.

Zhang normally arranged for Mu Ying to live in a small courtyard, which had a metal chimney like many buildings in the back of Longhu Mountain.

"This is what the kid used to keep warm. I thought it was useful, so I learned it!

In the past, he was practicing pure-hearted contemplation and produced a lot of good things.

Including his toilet, which is now used by Longhu Mountain...

You don’t need to go to the mountains to solve the problem yourself in the cold weather..."

According to Lao Zhang's usual practice, show Muying how Daming's toilet is.

Muying followed the management and observed the Ming Dynasty version of the shower room and toilet.

One thing he discovered was that Zhang Yi was more interested in changing his life than in the military.

He discovered another novelty.

"This is soap, it is said that foreigners can find it, but the one we make in the mountains is cheaper.

Zhang Yi provided the formula, which was made by Wu Bao and that kid.
Zhang Yi is also planning to open a soap factory, and all the soap sold will be distributed to the Taoist priests on the mountain..."

Mu Ying seemed a little familiar with Zhang Yi's method.

He remembered that the emperor had said that two years ago, Zhang Yi gave advice to the Zhejiang factory, and one of them was about training industrial workers.

Could it be that Zhang Yi also trains these Taoist priests as industrial workers?
A strange idea came to Mu Ying's mind, but he pushed it back.

The closer you get to Zhang Yi, the more you realize that he is out of tune with the people in this world.

This is probably the so-called man among the gods.

"grown ups……"

Just as Zhang Normal left, a Taoist pushed the door open and closed the door.

Several subordinates accompanying Mu Ying drew out their knives, but Mu Ying stretched out her hand to stop them.

"The Sixth King of the Jinyi Guards has met you! Seeing your gesture, my subordinates came here to recognize you!"

Mu Ying was very interested and asked:

"You recognize me?"

That Wang Liu shook his head:
"I don't know, the villain was arranged by His Majesty to go up the mountain a long time ago, and he doesn't usually go down the mountain!

In these years, villains rarely go down the mountain. Although I am a little familiar with adults, I don't recognize them! "

"Benhou Muying!"

Mu Ying reported her family name, and Jin Yiwei hurriedly knelt down:
"My subordinates pay their respects to the Marquis of Zhenhai!"

Mu Ying said:
"I can't go down the mountain today, so I can only ask you one thing. I will write a letter and you will send it to Huitian Mansion through the fastest channel immediately..."

Mu Ying didn't look good. He had not forgotten the great defeat in the north predicted by Zhang Yi.

Whether he believed it or not, Mu Ying had to present this matter to the emperor.

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Wang Liu knelt on the ground respectfully, and Mu Ying began to write letters.

He thought for a while, and for a while didn't know how to write.

After hesitating for a moment, he simply repeated what Zhang Yi had said, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hopefully!"

After the letter was written, Mu Ying stood in the yard.

In early spring, there is still some chill.

However, the road on Longhu Mountain was very fierce, which made him feel warm all over.

On the other side, Zhang Yi returned to his study and began to write a book for Mu Ying.

Every plant brought back from America is priceless.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, needless to say.

The same goes for other things.

He remembered that in later generations, many foods that humans have become accustomed to and still play an important role in life came from the Americas.

Asia and Africa are world islands, and exchanges of species have occurred frequently in the past years.

But America was mankind's first and very important species exchange.

The habits, subjects, where they are suitable for planting, and the functions of these things are written out in detail. Zhang disagrees, and he even attaches a recipe.

After doing this, Zhang Yi also ranked the importance of various plants.

The most important of them is naturally the sweet potato, which can change food production. Although the current native potato varieties are not as good as the improved varieties introduced in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yi still wrote the improvement methods in the book.

There's no need to keep things a secret.

The so-called improvement is nothing more than repeated work day after day, year after year.

If the imperial court can pay attention to it, it is better for the imperial court to do this.

In addition to sweet potatoes,

Corn, peanuts and the like were ranked in the second level by Zhang Yi.

Fruits and vegetables such as sweet potatoes are classified at the third level.

After Zhang Yi wrote this, he listed two particularly important things.

Upland cotton and rubber seeds.

The planting and promotion of cotton is something that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to.

The emperor stipulated that a certain proportion of the fields in the world must be allocated to plant cotton.

However, the cotton that is currently popular in China is definitely not as good as the upland cotton that comes from the Americas and gradually became the mainstream of cotton fabrics around the world.

Cotton, marked on.

This point does not need to be reminded. If Uncle Huang contributes things to the emperor, the emperor will definitely realize the value of cotton.

And the other thing, rubber...

Maybe no one will realize the importance of rubber for a while.

The point is that there are too few places where rubber can be planted.

In the whole of China, only Hainan can grow it, and maybe a few places in Yunnan can barely do it.

"Damn, it's good if you can take the cochin..."

After writing some down, Zhang Yi looked up and found that the sky had turned white.

It's been a long time since he wrote a day, and he stayed up all night...

After Zhang Yi finished writing, he organized the manuscript, bound it himself, and then knocked on the door in the small courtyard where Mu Ying was.

"Brother Zhang, you have already written it..."

After Mu Ying opened the door for Zhang Yi, she looked at a thick scroll and couldn't believe it.

It's one thing for Zhang Yi to write fast. There are really people who can never forget things. They just remember them all after seeing so many things.

"it is good!"

Mu Ying opened Zhang Yi's book and read it, she was very excited.

What Zhang Yi wrote was more complete than what he dictated yesterday.

"Brother Zhang, please give this book a name!"

"Let's call it American Plant Encyclopedia..."

Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention to the matter of naming.

"By the way, Brother Huang Ying, I want to ask one thing..."

Zhang Yi found that he was excited yesterday, but forgot one thing that was very important to him.

"Finished rubber?"

Mu Ying was reminded by Zhang Yi and laughed:
"I forgot about it, but don't blame me, because those things haven't been delivered to the mountain yet!

We did find rubber trees according to your tips, and let us make a batch of rubber for you to bring back!

But these things were too heavy and didn’t go with us!

Today or tomorrow, you will probably receive more than 300 kilograms of rubber blocks! "

Zhang Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this...

Although the three hundred kilograms of glue blocks are a little short, they are definitely worth a fortune.

With these rubber blocks, he seems to be able to make quite a few interesting things.

Seeing his expression like this, Mu Ying smiled slightly, and suddenly he had an idea.

"It's a pity that I originally transported a boatload of rubber to Zhang's younger brother, but I was left in Zhejiang. Zhejiang and Jiangxi are high mountains and far away. It may be difficult to transport them here..."

"Wait, what did you say?"

Zhang Yi was originally immersed in the joy of three hundred catties of rubber, but Mu Ying turned around and told him it was half full?
"It doesn't count, it's probably a few thousand catties!

There is also Yingtian Mansion, I also transported half a boat there..."

After Zhang Yi heard about it, he was not calm at all.

In his opinion, among the things Mu Ying brought back, rubber was the most valuable.

Not that it is more important than other things, but rare.

Even if he goes to Hainan to plant rubber trees this year, it will take Hongwu 11 years at the earliest to harvest new rubber.

In other words, other things can be harvested next year, but rubber will be used less.

Huang Ying couldn't stop his second trip so quickly, so he had to take all the rubber...

"you are vicious……"

Looking at Mu Ying's snickering appearance, Zhang Yi didn't know that he wanted to persuade him to go down the mountain.

He said to Mu Ying angrily:
"Leave me your address and I'll come down the mountain to find you later!"

Mu Ying smiled and said:

"Brother Zhang doesn't need to bother, I will send the rubber to Hangzhou later, and the address is your factory...

As for the batch of goods from Ying Tianfu, if you go to the cloth shop, someone will take you there. "

factory?

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that it was the factory set up by him and Lao Huang.

Every year he receives a sum of valuable dividends from Lao Huang,

But I have never been to a factory.

"Since the opportunity has come, I will come out of the mountain myself!"

Zhang Yi knew Mu Ying's plan and gave him an annoyed look.

"Brother Zhang family, forgive me, I just think it's a pity that you stay on the mountain..."

Mu Ying smiled gently and said sorry to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi waved his hand. Neither he nor Chang Yuchun had any ill intentions. Naturally, he couldn't blame him.

Mu Ying left, and returned satisfied with the "Encyclopedia of American Plants" that Zhang Yi had given him.

He sent the book to the emperor of Ying Tianfu immediately, and then took his subordinates to Zhejiang to return to their orders.

……

Yingtianfu, the imperial palace.

"American Plant Encyclopedia" Zhang Yi and Zhu Yuanzhang did not receive it, but he did receive the letter from Mu Ying to him.

Before Lao Zhu opened the letter, he was still in a good mood, but after he opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"That crow's mouth, I know he's up to no good..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and cursed: "These Taoists don't have a single good thing!"

"Father, what's the matter?"

Zhu Biao looked confused, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been so angry with Zhang Yi for a long time.

He knew that the secret note must contain news about Zhang Yi.

Zhu Biao was puzzled, what did Zhang Yi say that made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry?

Lao Zhu showed the secret music to Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao's expression changed slightly.

He is not Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang hates Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and confuse the public with their evil words.

Even though Zhou Dian predicted the victory of the war, he just said that many people would die in this battle, so Lao Zhu threw him into the river.

What Zhang Yi said to Mu Ying is definitely going to be dealt with by Lao Zhu.

You know, this is the second Northern Expedition, and it is also a key battle for Ming to prepare for victory.

The father and son knew Zhang Yi's abilities, especially Mu Ying's restoration of the scene. Zhang Yi's description that the emperor would behead him if he told anyone about it made Zhu Biaoren unable to help but laugh.

After not seeing each other for two years, Zhang Yi used the crow's mouth to recreate the father and son's memories of him.

"This guy is still so poisonous!"

Zhu Biao shook his head and laughed, but quickly restrained his smile:
"Father, this matter must be taken seriously!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked to the map without his reminder.

"I don't understand why our Ming army was defeated?"

Zhang Yi said that if you are happy, you may not be happy, but if Zhang Yi says you are unlucky, you will definitely be unlucky...

The legend about this little real person has long been circulated in the capital, and the Zhu family father and son who have a close relationship with Zhang Yi understand Zhang Yi's accuracy.

This guy's predictions about the future are not mysterious fortune-telling, they are history books!

The future this guy sees is the history that will definitely happen now.

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset by Zhang Yi.
