Zhu Yuanzhang is an action faction. Since he has such a good seed and does not plant it in front of him, it is obviously unrealistic.

You should know that cotton is a good thing advocated by Zhu Yuanzhang, so cotton was planted nationwide.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang planted cotton was naturally because the army needed a large number of cotton clothes to keep warm in order to go north to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Now that grain output can grow, there is no reason not to plant corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes of the Three Treasures of Civilization.

It is suitable for planting nationwide and does not require particularly large land.

In addition, because these three crops are rich in starch, the taste is still very good, at least it is much better than those braised vegetables.

Moreover, corn is a very easy-to-preserve food, not to mention potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The cooking is also very simple, and the sweet potatoes are so delicious when they are cooked.

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally tasted three new foods sent by Zhu Qi, which were a brand new experience in both taste and taste.

And it has never been sweet before, which is definitely a blessing for the people.

However, it is not something that can be accomplished in one day to promote these three crops.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a very cautious person. The first thing he wanted to do was to conduct experiments. According to his third brother Zhu Qi, these three crops are very suitable for cultivation throughout the country.

However, in the water fish and rice water towns like Jiangnan, growing corn is obviously a bit wasteful.

So fertile water conservancy and land must be more suitable for growing rice and rice.

It is perfect to grow corn and potatoes in the wild and cold places in the northwest.

So the first thing to do experimental promotion is the northwest. In the Ming Dynasty, the northwest was already drought, with little water and poor land.

I didn't know what to plant, but now there are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in the northwest area to plant, which can not only solve the problem of low grain yield, but also take this opportunity to experiment with how the new crops are.

Soon a group of imperial farmers were recruited, who were originally engaged in agriculture.

It is very knowledgeable about farming, and he went to the northwest with his seeds.

To draw a conclusion, it will take at least half a year, but Zhu Yuanzhang could afford it.

However, this kind of sub-experiment will take more than half a year, and Zhu Yuanzhang really can't wait for the rewards from Zhu Qi.

Other ministers were stunned for a day, why did they give His Highness the King of Liao again? Didn’t you just rewarded him?

He also doubled his Guards Army, what should he reward this time?

All the ministers were more nervous, and after Zhu Yuanzhang announced the reward, they were immediately in an uproar.

The content is nothing more than that, it is to hand over the management rights of the entire Liao territory to Zhu Qi.

Not only that, the continent called America on the other side of the ocean also gave Zhu Qi the management rights of the Americas.

In other words, Zhu Qi, now the Liao Wang, is not only the prince who controls Liao territory, but also the prince who controls overseas territory.

What a good guy, this is to be the king of one word!

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't know how big the America was, but he had heard Zhu Qi talk about it many times.

Now, there are good things like corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, on the American continent. According to Zhu Qi’s previous statement, there are not only these in the Americas, but also more treasures that have not been discovered yet.

In addition to these crops, there are countless mineral resources, etc. I heard that there are also gold mines, but more importantly, the vast land of the Americas.

Although Zhu Qi has described very specifically how big the American continent is, for Zhu Yuanzhang, he obviously does not have a specific understanding in his heart.

This time, the overseas territory of America was directly rewarded to Zhu Qi, in order to facilitate Zhu Qi to manage it.

Those ministers had no specific impression of how big America was.

But when he heard that the entire Liao land was rewarded to King Zhu Qi of Liao, it was clearly intended to establish a country within the country.

In the Han and Sui dynasties, any dynasties that were separatist, would cause unrest and these ministers could not allow it anyway.

They immediately started to yell. As for the reward of America to His Highness the King of Liao, they had no objection to the ministers.

After all, America seems to them just a small island hanging alone overseas, and there is no concept.

Moreover, these ministers have a very deep-rooted concept of Chinese and barbarians. For them, only the traditional Han area, Jiuzhou, is the world. As for other places, they are barbarians, and they only need to surrender without controlling them.

A place like America that has never been heard of before is naturally a barbarian among barbarians and has no value for control at all.

It is also very in line with their interests to let His Highness the King of Liao rule the Americas, which is equivalent to sending people to Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty.

Although Yunnan is now picturesque, in the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan was an absolute border area.

Sending it over is equivalent to exile. Even if the prince is put there, he is still an unpopular prince.

After hearing this news, Zhu Qi was amused and crying. He was already the King of Liao in Liaodong, but now he has shared a large area of ​​Liao territory outside Liaodong with him and allowed himself to have unified jurisdiction. This matter made Zhu Qi feel quite difficult.

It was no problem to let him manage America and become the commander of America. Anyway, America is now just an indigenous tribe and does not have the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It is said that it is rule, but there is nothing to worry about.

You can't go to those natives to collect taxes, they don't have money either.

As the commander of the Americas, naturally no one understands America better than me.

And he was just a false reputation, so Zhu Qi quickly wrote a letter saying that he could not be the commander of Liao, but the commander of America could indeed be regarded as the commander of the United States.

The reason is that it takes all your energy to govern the Americas, if you go to command Liao territory again.

I obviously don’t have enough energy. Although I don’t know if Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to his request, I must be talking about his attitude.

Zhu Qi, who received the imperial edict, also sighed silently, and his reputation in the court was probably getting bigger and bigger.

I don’t want my elder brother Zhu Biao to have any prejudice against him.

After hearing this, Liu Bowen also touched his beard and laughed, teasing Zhu Qi why he refused such a large area in Liao, so why would he just take it down?

Zhu Qi also rolled his eyes, knowing that Liu Bowen was joking with him.

He has no ambitions, just want Liaodong.

It would be ok if Zhu Yuanzhang took down the entire Liao territory. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, his future emperor might not be relieved.

Moreover, most of the Liao territory is still in the hands of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the Liao territory, so would he continue to fight?

It is natural to do the task of regaining Liaodi, but let professionals come.

Moreover, Zhu Qi, the management territory, is not good at it. Now it is because Liu Bowen is helping him, so he doesn’t have to worry about so many things.

If Liu Bowen was not here, he would not know what chaos would be, so Zhu Qi turned down the identity of Liaodi chief manager, which was the reason.

But within a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the reply letter back, which naturally rejected Zhu Qi's Qingqiu.

In Zhu Yuanzhang and others' eyes, Zhu Qi's current ability is another modest expression. Not to mention that he is in charge of Liao and America, even if he gives him most of China, he will probably be able to manage it very well.

At least this is what Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart, and even said this to others:

"I, the third brother, have the ability. If it weren't for the eldest brother, he would definitely be a good person to be the emperor."

Of course, this is just something that others say, so I don’t know if it is true.

When Zhu Qi heard this, he was also shocked. He was all transmitted from Yingtian Prefecture to Liaoyang, and it must have been circulating elsewhere.

I just hope that someone didn’t do it on purpose. If he really did it on purpose, it would be clearly sow discord. Zhu Qi was panicked.

Fortunately, I waited for two or three months and didn't hear anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have not reacted much to this rumor, which made Zhu Qi feel relieved.

If my father misunderstood that this was said on purpose by me and intentionally seeking to seize the throne, that would be awful.

——————————

The twelve year of Hongwu.

The entire 12 years of Hongwu have been spent in a turbulent and prosperous situation.

For Zhu Qi, the memory of the whole year is war, war or war.

For the common people, after experiencing the initial chaos, they soon ushered in a very happy period of development.

His Highness the King of Liao is obviously a good prince who cares about the people's livelihood. Since the King of Liao came to Liaodong, all the original tyrants and miscellaneous taxes have been cancelled.

There is only an additional tariff department, which is specifically used to deal with tax collections from foreign trade.

However, the people are not very clear about these things and don’t care even more. They don’t know how to do business outside, so it’s natural that it doesn’t matter.

Just don’t worry about paying taxes next month all day.

In addition to the relaxation of taxation, His Highness the King of Liao also distributed them a lot of farm tools of very good quality, allowing them to reclaim wasteland and reclaim more farmland.

In addition to reclaiming the land, the imperial court also gave them a lot of seeds for planting.

In addition to cotton, there are also seeds called corn potatoes and sweet potatoes.

It was the first time they encountered these new seeds, so they were not very clear about what good things they could plant.

Anyway, it is definitely correct to grow cotton. The court always has a minimum price every year, and as long as the cotton planted can be sold to the court, and corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes also have a very good policy.

That is the general quarter of planting, and people who plant these things do not have to pay taxes.

Good guy, this policy is really good for the people.

As long as you can grow food for food, it is good to have food for planting. As for the output, it is not very concerned about these ordinary people.

Because of the current agricultural level and climate in Liaodong, there is not much land that can produce a lot of grain.

Only when the warm climate of Liaoxi Corridor is close to the coast can produce more food.

In other places, many grain outputs are very low. Even if the corn, potato, sweet potato production is low, how low can it be?

As long as you don’t pay taxes, everyone will never starve to death. At most, you can go up the mountain to prepare for some wild animals.

Therefore, many ordinary people have set off a collective wave of growing corn in the entire Liaoyang and the Liaodong Peninsula, and there are naturally more people who grow corn.

The main reason is that there are many seeds of corn.

However, if the common people want to obtain seeds, they can’t get them casually. Each household has a limited quota.

Because Zhu Qi only planted corn for more than a year, the sweet potatoes and potatoes didn’t have many seeds in his hands.

If everyone can take it without restrictions, the seeds on their hands will be used up quickly.

Even if the limit is limited, the seeds have almost been sent in just two or three months.

Some seeds were left in my pocket for backup, and just as Zhu Qi was waiting for everyone to start farming and get a good harvest in autumn, another great news came.

Wang Legend's fleet is back.

This is the fourth adventure of Wang Legend.

I calculated the time. It has been 4 years since I met Wang Zhiqi for the first time.

Wang Chuanqi is outside every year to expand territory for the Ming Dynasty. Although he himself does not have the awareness of this, Zhu Qi knew that he was doing something amazing.

So when he knew that Wang Chuanqi was about to return, Zhu Qi still brought officials from all over the Liaoyang to wait at the port to welcome Wang Chuanqi.

Such treatment surprised the officials, and even the celebrities Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu around them came over to greet them.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu are naturally historical celebrities and are also very capable. For other officials, it is natural that these two generals can win the favor of His Highness the Liao King.

Many people have never heard of this Wang Zhiqi when talking about Wang Zhiqi, occasionally some people who have heard the rumors will say, isn’t this the pirate in the past?

Such words will naturally make people feel contemptuous.

However, before they had time to look down on it, someone quickly told him about the story of Wang Zhuanqi.

It turned out that when he attacked the Northern Yuan Navy before, Wang Xuanqi led the pirate navy, abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and joined the camp of His Highness the King of Liao.

Then he made a shocking record.

Not only that, when he later captured the Liaodong Peninsula, Wang Chuanqi was also the leader of the entire Ming Navy.

Then there was five voyages to the East and found the legendary America.

He also brought back corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, the seeds of these three god-like crops. Who doesn’t know that the Three Treasures of Civilization are powerful things?

When they heard that the Three Treasures of Civilization were brought by this King Zhuanqi, they were all confused, and they felt infinite admiration in their hearts.
