Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 17 Is that a sweet potato?
He doesn't understand. What grudges do you have with Confucianism?
It always wears him out.

Although the king liked to boast, what he said was true. His territory continued to expand, and his status became more and more respected. Even the prince Liang had to bow down to greet him.

Zhu Tuo arranged his family well, and all his family members were proud of him, which made him full of respect for Zhu Tuo.

He was once a teacher who was famous but not respected.

"I'm not complaining, I just want you to find some manpower for me." Zhang Wei saw that Zhu Tuo was still talking.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and then added: "Although the lives of Lingnan people are getting better and better now, there are still many problems, such as establishing a complete system to restrict people's movements."

"As for those places in the south, our military strength in Lingnan is getting stronger and stronger, but there are still people in some places who don't listen to the Ming Dynasty. We must divide them and sow discord between them. War is a very important thing, let's talk about it. Don’t be careless in the slightest.”

“As for racial integration, I listen to His Majesty.

Zhang Wei recounted what happened in the court recently, and then analyzed the current problems.

Zhu Tuo just nodded silently.

Although Zhang Wei is old, he is quite good at governing the country. Otherwise, Zhu Tuo would not have tried every means to make him a county magistrate.

Zhang Wei said: "I can't handle this matter alone. I hope your Majesty will recruit more people."

Zhu Tuo nodded and agreed: "Mr. Zhang's words are very true. What is the most lacking thing in Lingnan today? Talent, talent!"

"So, is there anything you can do?"

"Of course there is."

Zhu Tuo said confidently: "I plan to open an academy in Lingnan to train various officials. After that, I can go to various places in Lingnan to do things."

"Moreover, in addition to education, there is also education. Three-thirds of our population in southern Guangdong are foreigners, and their customs and language are very different from those of the Han people. This is very important."

"What do you think of Mr. Zhang?"

"Very good." Zhang Wei brushed his beard and praised. He had been a teacher, so of course he understood the importance of education.

Zhu Tuo's eyes shone: "Mr. Zhang should also do good things, right? I have decided to entrust the affairs of this college to Mr. Zhang. I hope you can help."

"This..." Zhang Wei was stunned.

Zhu Tuo shouted: "Mr. Zhang, this is a temporary matter. If we can build this college, in a few decades, countless talents will emerge in Lingnan. By then, you will With a boost."

"Decades?" Zhang Wei's face sank.

In another ten years, his bones will be burned clean.

"Ten years is not impossible."

"Ten years from now, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Palace of Hell to select talents." Zhang Wei rolled his eyes at him.

"Three years!" Zhu Tuo shouted: "After three years, there will definitely be a good official. By then, you can rest peacefully, plant some flowers and grass, entertain your grandchildren, and spend your remaining years in peace."

"Hey, I hope your Majesty will keep his word." Zhang Wei sighed and said, "I will be responsible for this matter."

"Mr. Zhang is worthy of being the pillar of the court!" Zhu Tuo stood up and saluted Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang is wise and brave, dedicated to the people. I want Mr. Zhang to be the prime minister of Lingnan."

"What? Zhang Wei was shocked.

"Lingnan is Lingnan, the imperial court. The imperial court abolished the prime minister, but in Lingnan, a prime minister was installed."

"Really? There is a prime minister in Lingnan, why haven't I heard of him?"

"From today on."

Zhang Wei was speechless. He never expected that Zhu Tuo would be so bold that even Lingnan would appoint a prime minister.

Zhang Wei bowed.

After leaving the Prince Chen's mansion, he suddenly slapped himself on the head, and said angrily: "I originally hoped that His Majesty would help me reduce some things, but now, I have assumed this responsibility inexplicably."

"Hey!

In the palace, Lu Qing couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is almost exhausted, and you still leave all these things to him."

Zhu Tuo sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it. Everything in Lingnan is developing in the right direction. It would be impossible without Mr. Zhang. In the final analysis, there are too few talents in Lingnan." "Also, Find some doctors for me and ask them to take good care of Mr. Zhang." Zhu Tuo asked.

It's the autumn harvest season now, and the temperature is about to drop. Zhu Tuo doesn't want old man Zhang Wei to freeze to death.

Lu Qing said: "Some time ago, His Majesty ordered that I have asked two doctors to conduct a physical examination on Mr. Zhang every once in a while."

Zhu Tuo shook his head: "No, please invite two other doctors to come over and take good care of Mr. Zhang's residence. All the food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided."

The next day, Lu Qing came to the palace and saw Zhu Tuo reading a book.

memorial.

He really doubted whether he had seen it wrong and wiped his face vigorously.

His Majesty the Emperor quickly flipped through the notebooks in his hand, correcting them over and over again. The piles were densely packed, and he looked like he was correcting.

This is what God showed me!
Lu Qing couldn't help but burst into tears. His king had finally come to his senses and behaved like a wise king.

Zhu Tuo also found Lu Qing at this time, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are you crying so early? Are you in a hurry to attend my funeral?"

Lu Qing said: "I didn't know that Your Majesty worked so hard."

Zhu Tuo opened a document again, only for a short paragraph, and then put it down.

Zhu Tuo doesn't like management, but every time he sees a document, he can make a quick judgment.And once you make up your mind to do something, you will definitely do your best.

Therefore, Zhu Tuo did not hesitate at all while reading.

Lu Qing couldn't help but ask: "When does Your Majesty get up to read?"

"Mao Shi." Zhu Tuo pondered for a moment.

"Time is up."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What?" Zhu Tuo quickly looked up at the sun and said: "I have been correcting here for more than an hour. Let's go out. We are going to go hunting. Lu Qing, please get the bow quickly."

After speaking, Zhu Tuo waved his hand and rolled all the documents onto the table.

The scene just now seemed to be just his illusion.

"Your Majesty, don't you want to read it?" Lu Qing asked cautiously.

Zhu Tuo stretched and said loudly: "I got up early this morning to read.

It's been an hour, can't you still enjoy it? "

"Your Majesty, please send someone to Luzon."

The treasure I found, I also found. "

"What?" Zhu Tuo's face turned pale all of a sudden.

“His Majesty sent people to look for sweet potatoes in Luzon.

"Ah."

"sweet potato."

Zhu Tuo suddenly got up from the ground, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "It's amazing!

I'm going to get my horse over here and I'm going to pick them up! "

A year ago, Zhu Tuo sent an expedition team to Luzon (now the Philippines) to search for sweet potatoes.

Zhu Tuo knew that sweet potatoes were introduced to China from Southeast Asia and should be found in Luzon.

In order to make the Lingnan people happy, Zhu Tuo selected [-] able men from the army to go to Luzon to search for sweet potatoes.

However, what dangers are there in the sea?Not to mention anything else, this plague alone can kill people alive.

At that time, Lingnan was so barren that it was just a small ship in the world.

They actually did it!
