The great success of potatoes also had a considerable impact in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying, who personally participated in potato cultivation, was regarded as a child prodigy and a royal talent. Some people even published it in newspapers and praised it highly.
However, as soon as this article came out, it was picked up by the Ministry of Public Security in the afternoon.
The person who gave the order was none other than Lao Zhu!
It's not that Lao Zhu doesn't like people praising his grandson, but the question is how old is the child?
The potato seeds were bought by the Ma family and his son at the cost of their lives. The planting method was also explored by everyone. Zhu Xiongying did some work along with him. Although he also made some records, it was all under the guidance of Zhang Ximeng and his master Xia Zhifeng.
With just this little merit, can he be praised to the sky?
In that case, wouldn't there be child prodigies everywhere?
We, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the old Zhu family, cannot take the lead in doing such bastard things.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his grandson. He encouraged Zhu Xiongying to continue on this path. When he really solves the problem and makes a contribution, then he will be considered an achievement.
Zhu Xiongying naturally recognized the teachings of his imperial grandfather.
The little guy is extremely well-behaved.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, took Zhu Xiongying's hand, and went to Xu Da's house.
In Xu Da's house, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun continues to live, and she has just given Zhu Yuanzhang a grandson, Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Xiongying was born very early, even older than his uncles, so he didn't have time to determine his generation, so he could only be called this.
But when Zhu Gaochi arrived, he finally entered the era of the periodic table of elements.
Zhu Gaochi is next to the character fire, and the next generation will be earth, then metal, water, wood... In short, it will be passed down from generation to generation.
As Zhu Di's eldest son and Xu Da's grandson, Zhu Gaochi has received a lot of attention, and even Zhang Chengtian likes him very much.
He is so chubby that he is so rare.
Xu was both fat and cherished each other. Every time Zhang Chengtian came over, he would bring gifts to Zhu Gaochi and play with the little guy. Even Xu Da had to admit that Zhang Chengtian was really good to his grandson.
In addition to Zhang Chengtian, Xia Zhifeng will also come over. She mainly wants to see Xu Miaoyun... It is shameful to say that Zhu Di is supervising troops in the Western Regions. Xu Miaoyun is pregnant with the child and cannot leave. Now that she has a child, she can't make it... As for Xia Zhifeng, she
There is also a lot of things going on now, Zhang Shuning is running a school in Longchang again.
It feels like we are in the same boat. They talk a lot when they are together.
Lao Zhu came over today. He first hugged Zhu Gaochi for a while, played with the little guy for a while, and then put him to sleep. The child, who was only a few months old, did nothing but eat and sleep. He was extremely carefree.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched for a long time, with a happy smile on his face, and quietly exited. Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da: "How about it, we want to add some burdens to your son-in-law!"
Xu Da was startled and said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, has a heavy burden. How can he still be promoted to a higher position?"
In fact, what else can you add to what Xu Da means? He is already a vassal king, with his own fiefdom, soldiers and horses. Is it possible to take him one step further and make him the crown prince?
Will you destroy Zhu Biao?
Let's not joke!
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said, "We have been reading news about Japan these days and found that they have a general who conquers the barbarians. This arrangement is very interesting."
"The general who conquered the barbarians? Is he the shogunate who emptied himself out from the country's lord?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be like this... We want to use the bravery and wisdom of the fourth child to conquer the barbarians for the Ming Dynasty and unify the world. Then let the boss guard the house and guard our foundation, what do you think?
"
Xu Da was startled and said quickly: "It is good for the superior to arrange it this way, but as a general who conquers barbarians, which barbarians will he conquer?"
Zhu Yuanzhang blinked. There was no doubt that he would have to ask Zhang Ximeng about this matter.
Just like that, Zhang Ximeng was also called over. After hearing Lao Zhu's idea, Zhang Ximeng smiled.
"My lord, if you want to find barbarians, there are too many of them...but I believe that not every barbarian needs to be attacked."
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "I asked you to come over, isn't it just to discuss this matter? You can't be the enemy of the whole world except the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Lord Shengming... Through these years of exploration and exploration, we have initially figured out that those remote continents are far away from civilization and have too low a level of development. They basically cultivate slash and burn farming, and many use stone tools. They are very backward. For the Ming Dynasty,
There is no threat. For these places, we should take gentle measures, supplemented by force, step by step, and integrate them into the Chinese civilization system without too much effort."
"There are only a few places where we really need to be wary of conquest... Timur in the river, his power is expanding rapidly, and it is adjacent to the Western Region, so it must be conquered. Next is the Ottomans. This country has high fighting spirit, a large territory, and its power is expanding even more.
They are fast and should not be underestimated. The third is the Western Europe mentioned by Manuel. Although they are also very backward, their constant fighting has given them a very powerful force and cannot be underestimated."
After listening to this, Lao Zhu pondered for a moment, then laughed and said: "According to what Mr. Wang said, looking to the west, except for Fulin Kingdom, everyone can actually be regarded as barbarians?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly, it was indeed true.
In the entire Western world, Eastern Rome is really worth taking a high look at, marveling at the same fate as Eastern Rome and the Song Dynasty, and the same vitality as Xiaoqiang.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, "Sir, if you put it that way, Lao Si has a lot of enemies!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Those who are capable work hard, and I have an idea. If only the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty were used, it would be impossible to support King Yan to complete such a feat."
Lao Zhu smiled and said, "What do you think sir?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Annan is basically settled now. If everything goes well, we can go south to Java and then march to Tianzhu."
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, "Tianzhu? Is this the place where Monk Tang studied for Buddhist scriptures?"
"Well, it's true. Tianzhu has fertile land and abundant products. In terms of wealth, it is not much worse than the Central Plains. If we can capture Tianzhu, close to the water, and use Tianzhu's financial resources to support the Ming Dynasty's troops and conquer Egypt and other places to the west,
Then we will unite with Fulin Kingdom, go north to destroy the Ottomans, and go west to conquer Europe, everything will be easy and logical."
The Complete Map of Kunyu and All Nations had been hung in Zhu Yuanzhang's study three years ago, and there were also copies in the study rooms of Zhang Ximeng and Xu Da. They often observed overseas situations and had already known about it.
Therefore, Xu Dadao said: "Mr. Zhang, I have seen that place in Tianzhu. It is indeed a flat plain, with superior water and heat, and rich products... But I don't know how Mr. Zhang is going to start? Or should he focus on equalizing the land?"
Hearing the word "equal land", Zhang Ximeng shook his head quickly. "Don't be kidding me. In the third brother's place, equal land is not something you would do if you wanted to die."
Therefore, Zhang Ximeng gave a brief introduction to the situation... Places such as Annan, Japan, and Goryeo are all Confucian cultural circles. There are definitely traces of promoting land equalization in these places, and there will be people who will support it, and they will support it crazily.
But when it comes to the third brother, things become very troublesome.
What they believe is completely different from the Confucian cultural circle.
Although Confucianism also emphasizes the king and his ministers, father, father and son, it still says that princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people.
But when it came to Third Brother, he really took this path to the extreme.
Third Brother not only divided people into four levels, but also fixed their professions.
Moreover, they also developed rigorous and rich discussions around caste.
They believe that the meaning of the world lies in the balance between everyone and the gods... To put it bluntly, it means that everyone can settle down and do their own thing honestly, so that they will receive blessings, gain a priority in reincarnation, and get
Good location.
People like Zhu Yuanzhang, who were clearly untouchables but wanted to revolt and seize power, must have violated their own responsibilities and must be punished.
The people of Third Brother disdain to do such a shameful and destructive thing.
Therefore, under the third brother's caste system, the Brahmins who live at the top are only responsible for religious sacrifices. To put it more bluntly, they are responsible for nurturing the soul and treating mental internal friction.
What they say is what should be done... As for what needs to be done in reality, they don't know. Because they are high-minded thinkers.
If you go out for practical research and your feet are covered in mud, wouldn’t you become a pariah?
That is absolutely impossible.
The Kshatriyas under this group of chattering nobles control the military force, pass it down from generation to generation, and serve as generals from generation to generation... Putting aside the cheating movies, what is their combat effectiveness?
Approximately, the children of the Eight Banners have inherited it for another thousand years. They have pines everywhere and raise birds in cages. They are the best in the world. Let them fight. I'm sorry, this is not what we do.
Below these two, there is a group of stinky workers, all working for the old men. What do you want to do with these things? You will suffer in this life, and you will be promoted in the next life.
If you think too much, you will go to hell!
In such a hierarchical place with no ambition to make progress, it is impossible to open up the situation by simply relying on equalization of land.
The method that the third brother is accustomed to is non-violent, because non-violence, relying on spitting stars, and constantly saying, that is what Brahmins do, they imitate Brahmins, that is, spiritual Brahmins.
That's a jump in status. As for fighting and killing enemies, being stained with blood, dirty and tired, isn't that a pariah?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and Xu Da was confused.
They are still too young. How could there be such a weird place in this world?
"Sir, what do you mean, Sir, can you let the fourth child find a way to conquer Tianzhu? Then use Tianzhu's wealth to march westward?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded slightly. In fact, the real place for the things he taught Zhu Di was in Tianzhu!
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to issue an order and immediately asked Zhu Di to return to Beijing to see his fat son, and then discuss matters about going south.
But at this moment, Xia Zhifeng came over. The matter was so urgent that he couldn't even wait for Zhang Ximeng to return home.
When Xia Zhifeng saw Zhang Ximeng, he hurriedly said: "Master, Tao Chengdao will go to heaven tomorrow. I can't help him. You, old man, must think of a way. His snake-shaped car will explode before it goes to heaven. I'm sure
There will be no bones left!”
Zhang Ximeng was startled. Could it be that he was the first person to ascend as a rocket? This matter needs to be taken care of!
