I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 6 Zhu Di: Why is my temple name Chengzu?

All of a sudden, everyone present received this task, even Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian himself was no exception.

Zhu Houcong had a thought, smiled heartily, and said to the other three: "My mission is to save the Chongzhen Dynasty. If the mission is completed, I will be rewarded with a shipyard. I don't know Taizu, Chengzu and Chongzhen. What are your missions and rewards?"

Zhu Houcong deliberately concealed his rewards for spells.

From the current point of view, the journey of cultivating immortality is indeed only promised to myself, and if I hide like this, maybe there will be unexpected results in the future.

Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Our mission is the same as yours. It is to save the Chongzhen Dynasty. The mission reward is different. It is said to be some improved corn seeds...You are well-informed, what is this corn? We are also from old farmers, and we have never heard of it or seen it."

In the words, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of curiosity.

But Zhu Houcong did not hesitate at all, and immediately answered: "Emperor Taizu, this corn is native to Central and South America, and the yield per mu can reach [-] to [-] catties."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words.

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Di and Zhu Youjian who were on the side were also surprised, and then they were ecstatic!
If the production capacity per mu is so much, how many people can be fed? !
In today's Daming, the average yield per mu is only about four hundred catties!

Zhu Di calmly asked a question from the side: "How is the taste, but the taste is hard to swallow?"

In fact, it doesn't matter if the taste is worse, as long as it doesn't kill people.

In the year of the catastrophe, the grain harvest was in short supply.

It's good to be alive, who cares if it tastes good or not.

"The taste is excellent, soft and glutinous like pastry, and the taste is sweet." Zhu Houcong said firmly.

The first-generation corn may be unpalatable, but the improved corn can be called modern corn, and the texture and taste can be said to be excellent.

After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di couldn't calm down for a long time, and Zhu Youjian burst into tears: "If I have this fetish in Ming Dynasty, how can the world turn against me?!"

After everyone shocked the production capacity of corn, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became keenly aware of the details: "Central and South America...where is that? Why have we never heard of this place?"

"Look across the sea from my Daming."

Zhu Houcong smiled and said: "But there is no need to force it at the moment, let's solve the current problem."

"My mission is also to save the Chongzhen Dynasty. If there is no accident, the mission will be the same, only the rewards will be different."

Zhu Di also spoke at this moment: "My reward is the craftsmanship of the firearm. The firearm is called 'Percussion Flintlock Gun'. It sounds rare, and it seems to be much better than the firearms equipped by the Shenji Camp."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Houcong couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Just a percussion gun.

However, for the era of the Yongle Dynasty, the percussive flintlock gun was already regarded as a dimensionality reduction weapon.

"Emperor Yong Le, your Shenji Battalion is already at the top level in the world at that time, equipped with advanced weapons such as firecrackers, but these firecrackers are still very different from flintlock guns."

Zhu Houcong explained: "The flintlock gun greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and has a low cost, which is convenient for mass production. You can fire one round at the time, but equipped with a flintlock gun, you can fire at least 3-4 rounds, and the power is also greatly enhanced."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Di's spirit was lifted.

Although it sounds like it is not as important as corn, for a martial emperor, it is undoubtedly a great thing to be able to make weapons and equipment more advanced.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Zhu Di with gloomy eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Fourth, after these guns are finished, remember to honor my father first. The first batch will be used by my army first, and the second batch will be used by you yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also an emperor with abundant martial virtues. After hearing that this weapon was so powerful, he naturally became concerned.

"Father, it's natural, it's natural." Zhu Di sneered and spoke hastily.

"Grandfather Cheng, if you want to make it as soon as possible after completing the task, you still need Chongzhen's help." Zhu Houcong said.

"Oh?"

Zhu Di was slightly surprised, looked at Zhu Youjian, and said, "How can this kid help?"

Zhu Houcong said: "In the Chongzhen Dynasty, there was a scholar named Bi Maokang who edited "Illustration of Military Weapons". He was a master of military industry."

"There is such a person. It is the right servant of the Ministry of War. I ordered him to make Wugang chariots, Shenfei cannons and other equipment. Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the right servant of the Nanjing household department and the governor of Liangli. Later, I didn't know who I had a conflict with. I resigned and returned to my hometown."

Zhu Youjian quickly said: "If the ancestors are in need, after the siege of Beijing is relieved, I will call them into the palace and have an interview with the ancestors."

"good."

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, and Zhu Houcong said to Zhu Youjian, "What's your task reward?"

"Reporting to Emperor Sejong, my mission reward is 'Jade Seal of Chuanguo'." Zhu Youjian said with a wry smile.

"The Jade Seal of Chuanguo?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback: "Isn't this thing in your hands? What's wrong, you lost it?"

"Grandfather Tai, it's not our Great Ming's imperial jade seal, but the one carved with the Heshibi by the First Emperor, with the one on it that reads 'Ordered by Heaven, long life will last forever'." Zhu Youjian explained.

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head in great disappointment, and said, "Tsk tsk, it's really dusty for such a treasure to fall into your hands."

Although this object does not enhance national power like corn seeds, flintlock guns, and shipyards, it is also a symbol of the spirit of the court and people, and it is also a symbol of the first emperor.

Zhu Youjian was very knowledgeable about current affairs and said: "If you can solve the troubles on my side, the unworthy descendants are willing to hand over the jade seal to His Majesty Taizu!"

"Come on, you can keep it. Since it can be rewarded at the same level as the three of us, maybe this jade seal not only represents the jade seal. We are here to protect our descendants, not to receive benefits from them." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

After hearing this sentence, Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang resentfully.

Dad, that's not what you said when you asked me for a gun.

Seemingly aware of Zhu Di's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and resolutely scolded: "Look, you are our son, and we are your father. Isn't it a matter of course for sons to respect Lao Tzu? You are still rebelling against the superior, that is, we are in a good mood when we see the thick boy, and you, the emperor, seem to be doing well. Otherwise, I would have slapped you and slapped you!"

"Yes, yes." Zhu Di hurriedly smiled awkwardly.

But at this moment, Zhu Di seemed to think of something. He looked at Zhu Houcong and Zhu Youjian, the two juniors, and asked, "Before the rescue begins, let me ask a question. What is my temple name? Why do you sometimes call me Taizong and sometimes Chengzu?"

Zhu Di was puzzled.

If he was allowed to choose, of course he would like the temple name Taizong.

He also knows very well that whoever becomes the emperor, whether it is the eldest or the second child, will give himself the temple name of Taizong, so...

Where did this Chengzu come from?

Could it be that something happened?
