Indeed, it sounds a bit ridiculous to go to sea just to order potatoes, but these are not ordinary potatoes, they have been certified by His Majesty and the Grand Master.
And it is said that it was obtained from distant Yingzhou.
Yingzhou!
That is an overseas fairy mountain, and it is said that the longevity fruit grows on it!
Qin Shihuang wanted to find this thing back then, but failed. Unexpectedly, our Ming Dynasty found it.
Your Majesty is virtuous!
So, doesn’t our Hongwu Emperor have to live a long life?
Don’t you want His Majesty to live a few more years?
Those who dare to hope for His Majesty's death are simply rebellious officials and traitors without a father and a king!
There are a lot of discussions in the market about everything.
Zhang Chengtian said that his mood is stable, and there is nothing special except being able to take care of himself. He cannot live forever or ascend to heaven. I am still an ordinary person!
But Zhang Chengtian soon discovered something strange. A bunch of strange people appeared on the street where prostitutes used to be.
They will pretend to be fellow villagers, chat with you, and then tell you that something was wrong with them in the past, that a family member had a strange disease, and that they ate potatoes to cure it.
This thing is a treasure that only the royal family has, and they spent a lot of money to get it from the eunuchs.
I bought three pills, I ate two pills, and I still have one pill left.
How about it, do you need it?
If necessary, I will transfer it to you cheaply, and I won’t ask for more money, just three hundred guan!
In one day, Zhang Chengtian met three guys who said this.
Oh my god, someone went to the manor to steal potatoes, right?
He rushed over in a hurry and found Zhu Xiongying. The little guy was holding an arithmetic set and sitting on a stone doing calculations. Behind him was the storage warehouse.
This kid was afraid of losing the potatoes, so he watched them himself.
"Your Highness, how about giving me two potatoes?"
Zhu Xiongying rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "There is no door!"
"Uncle Master, my father has never eaten it. If you take it away, what if someone accuses you of overstepping your bounds?"
Zhang Chengtian was unconvinced and said: "Who dares to impeach me? What do you think?"
"This is not easy. My fourth uncle is going to Beijing. He is going to marry the eldest daughter of Duke Wei... Do you think my fourth uncle dares?"
Zhang Chengtian's face turned dark instantly.
As for the younger generation who can still make him fearful, it is probably the King of Yan Zhu Di.
Some time ago, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun got engaged, and now it's finally time to officially get married.
Moreover, Zhu Di still came with the majesty of a great victory in Lingbei.
This is destined to be a very grand wedding.
On Lao Zhu's side, the nobles headed by Xu Da all valued him very much.
Zhu Laosi's status will become higher and higher, and he will also be able to get a large piece of it when he is entrusted with Northern Xinjiang.
Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids and suddenly sat next to Zhu Xiongying. The cold stone made him shiver. The child's butt was like a stove. Sitting on it and doing arithmetic problems, he didn't actually get sick. Zhu Xiongying's body
It's much better.
"Your Highness, do you know that King Zhu Di of Yan is your fourth uncle. He has more than 100,000 elite soldiers and generals. Moreover, he is very ambitious and is best at winning over his subordinates and winning over people's hearts. Your Majesty does not need to worry about him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also
You may not care much. But it won’t work when you are here. When you grow up, you will take over the Ming Dynasty. But when you look around, you will see that they are all the soldiers and trusted followers of King Yan. Who will be the leader of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
?”
Zhu Xiongying's eyes widened. It was a bit difficult for him to understand at such a young age, "Grandpa Huang said that the Ming Dynasty is the world of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor only governs the country on behalf of the people!"
Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyes, "That's what I say, but if there are thousands of people in a family and one person is in charge, there must be one person who has the final say. Your Highness, you should find a way."
Zhu Xiongying didn't know why, so Zhang Chengtian continued: "You should find more study companions, who can be both literary and military, no matter their background, they can be anything... There is such a group of people who surround His Highness and grow up with His Highness.
You are big and loyal, and your Highness will not have to be afraid in the future."
Zhu Xiongying still didn't understand, but he was very interested in finding a few friends, "Just like Brother Sanbao?"
Zhang Chengtian thought for a while, "Yes, almost! What do you think of a few more like this, Your Highness?"
Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and finally couldn't help grinning, and kept slapping his hands.
"Okay, that's it, let them grow potatoes with me, I finally have a helper!"
Zhu Xiongying was so happy that he ran and jumped.
Only Zhang Chengtian is a little embarrassed... Perhaps starting from Zhu Xiongying, the painting style of the Ming Emperor will collapse.
There was no way. When Zhu Biao was a child, Zhang Ximeng had to assist Lao Zhu to conquer the world. There was no system for the education of princes, so when Zhu Biao was a child, most of them were Hanlin scholars, including several other princes.
But these Hanlin officials were too bastards, making Zhu Biao lose his temper and making other princes ambitious.
Lao Zhu simply dismissed them all, and some were even sent to Peking... Most of the princes and princesses were sent to schools. By the third generation, it can be clearly seen that the training of royal descendants has been quite mature.
strategy.
What does the prince want to learn?
Wen Tao and military strategy, govern the country and care for the people... This is true, but it is difficult to quantify. The matter of governing the country is too complicated, and it is really difficult to explain clearly. I can only summarize it with a little bit of sentiment.
Correspondingly, cultivating people based on their interests will have huge advantages.
For example, Zhu Xiongying likes farming, so support him in agriculture.
In the future, if the little guy can grow up to be a good agriculturist, sit on the throne and govern the country, maybe things will be different. Similarly, other princes and grandsons can carry forward whatever unique hobbies they have.
For example, if you like carpentry and do some carpentry work, there is absolutely no problem. Of course, if you can't think about it and want to cultivate immortality, make alchemy and meditate, you will definitely get a spanking.
Your hobby must be legitimate.
As for opening a zoo and collecting a bunch of lions, tigers, and elephants...it's still debatable whether Lao Zhu's family needs a zoologist.
All in all, once something starts, it can't be stopped.
The old Zhu family is famous for being rich in all kinds of intellectuals. The fields that the Zhu family is involved in are enough to put other royal families to shame. The gap can even be several orders of magnitude.
After Zhu Yuanzhang learned that his grandson wanted to find some helpers, he immediately became energetic.
This is a good thing and should be supported no matter what.
As for who to choose, Lao Zhu first thought of the couple from Lao Zhang's family. But Zhu Yuanzhang soon shook his head again. The two children were still a little young, so they should wait another two years.
Moreover, Lao Zhu was a little scratching his head. The quality of the Zhang family's babies was too high and was beyond his control.
Zhang Shuning devoted himself to running schools and promoting education, so I won’t go into details here.
In the past, the fat boy Zhang Chengtian was thought to be the father of a tiger and the son of a dog, and he was not very up to date. But after seeing it too much, Lao Zhu became a little frightened. This kid Zhang Chengtian is definitely a master at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
He has Zhang Ximeng's caution, and his moral bottom line is more flexible. Among the second-generation sons of the Ming Dynasty, there are definitely not many who can outplay Zhang Chengtian.
With these two gems in front, no one can say how powerful the third and fourth brothers will be.
If the three brothers join forces to get them to the emperor's grandson in a hurry, it's really hard to say.
Moreover, the Zhang family's reserve army is equally scary.
Zhang Shuning is already engaged to Xia Zhifeng. They will get married in a few years. One is engaged in education and the other is involved in astronomy. When these two are put together, they are both liberal arts and sciences, and they are invincible in the world.
Even if you are the emperor, you still have to do nothing at this moment. Training the next generation and having a good enough heir is the foundation of everything.
In the past, he only focused on quantity and ignored quality. This is definitely the most painful lesson!
No, the fourth child is also getting married.
In the future, if their children want to live up to their expectations, they should keep them around and train them well.
No matter what, we can't lose to the old Zhang family!
It's just that after saying this for many years, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been at a disadvantage and has never won at all.
This time Lao Zhu really got tough and had to come up with something real.
If you want your children to be outstanding, in addition to their talents, good partners are also very important.
The first step is to select some generals.
For example, Zhu Ying's second son, Xu Da's fourth son, Chang Yuchun's eldest grandson, Hu Dahai's grandson... these were all caught in Lao Zhu's net.
But besides them, there must also be some folk prodigies.
The first thing Lao Zhu thought of was Jimin Academy. There was no other way. Over the years, Jiangxi was rich in child prodigies and it had become known all over the world.
In addition to Hu Yan and Huang Guan, among the group selected by Lao Zhu for his grandson, there were Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi and others.
In addition, Fudan Academy recommended Tie Xuan to the kindergarten class and sent him to the capital.
With so many good students coming to Beijing, what if the teachers cannot keep up and teach the children badly?
When everyone saw the person in charge of teaching, whether it was Jimin Academy or Fudan Academy, they were all honest.
Xia Zhifeng is responsible for all these children.
Today, Xia Zhifeng has become the most famous young scholar in the world through the publication of the round earth theory. In addition to astronomy, she has also written new arithmetic books.
Moreover, Xia Zhifeng’s new book even touches on the concept of calculus.
Zhang Ximeng's belief that this girl can enhance his reputation is not nonsense.
After all, you may not know the king or who the prime minister is, but you must always know Master Newton!
It is definitely more than enough for Xia Zhifeng to teach these young people.
Moreover, Lao Zhudu personally found Zhang Ximeng and said, "You are indeed a rare disciple. We plan to reward him with something...but I don't know what to do."
Zhang Ximeng said thoughtfully: "How will the lord reward me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "It's tacky for us to give her money. She doesn't care about being rewarded with official positions. We can give her a title, but she has no military exploits... But for such a talented person, it seems unreasonable if we don't express it. No,
I want to ask your master’s opinion.”
Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and said with a smile: "Master, if you say so, I think Ma Sanbao's father and brothers, and many others who have contributed to the country but are not easy to be crowned, should express their opinions...
How about we get a Ming Medal?"
