Chapter 834 Dare to kill even Jin Yiwei(1/2)
August of the thirty-sixth year of Hongwu.
Zhu Ju, who had been studying rice in the Huguang area, returned to Beijing.
Although most of the Ming Dynasty has been used as a granary, the cultivation of high-quality rice will never become obsolete. This is also the basis for the survival of people all over the world.
Zhu Rui, who returns to Beijing, will be summoned to the palace as soon as possible.
Zhu Ying naturally attached great importance to such agricultural talents.
"This time my fifth uncle has been away for several years, and my nephew misses him very much."
Zhu Ying smiled and said to Zhu Xi, asking him to enter the study with her.
The palace maid also immediately brought hot tea.
"I'm thinking of you, Taisun. This time I went to Huguang and harvested a lot. According to the rice hybridization method provided by Taisun, many high-quality rice have been developed, and the yield is steadily increasing every year. However, we haven't found any insect pests yet.
Appropriate response."
"The plague of locusts is particularly huge, and it can only be mitigated by hunting and killing them manually."
"If we can find a way to eliminate pests, rice production will definitely increase. Unfortunately, there is currently no idea in this regard."
"Only toads and some birds are easy prey for locusts. Therefore, in the Huguang area, I asked many farmers to raise more of them, which can be regarded as reducing some insect pests."
Seeing Zhu Ying, Zhu Ru couldn't help but start telling some stories about himself in Huguang.
Although Zhu Ji is now wearing silk and satin, his complexion is dark and his skin is rough, and he does not look at all pampered.
This is the real me going to the fields, immersed in research all day long, and won Zhu Ying's admiration.
"The locust damage is indeed difficult. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. It is already very good to be able to slow it down."
"I'm in the capital, and I heard that Uncle Wu's rice research has made breakthroughs. The yield in the experimental fields is increasing every year. This is really a great thing. Uncle Wu has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty."
"It's just that in this regard, my ability is meager, so I can only rely on my fifth uncle to explore alone."
Zhu Ying offered tea instead of wine and paid tribute to Zhu Xi.
"You can't be like your grandson," Zhu Zhu said quickly.
The main reason why he returned to Beijing this time was because Zhu Ying was about to ascend the throne, and his research had reached a certain bottleneck. It didn't mean that he could gain something by just staying there.
Zhu Yingdao said: "One person is responsible for the shortcomings, and the other is responsible for the strengths. It is rare for the fifth uncle to come back this time, so you can also go to the agricultural school to see more. There are already many outstanding students who are familiar with agriculture."
Zhu Ying opened the Agricultural School a long time ago, and then Zhu Ji took charge of it.
It was obvious that Zhu Tie was only a research talent, but in terms of teaching, he seemed much duller, which made Zhu Ying very helpless.
There is no other way, so we can only let Zhu Zhu hold the title, which is equivalent to the concept of honorary principal, and then train other teachers and students.
"When I come back this time, I plan to concentrate on writing down some of my experiences, preferably in the form of a book."
"There are too few classics on agriculture, so there is no talent to test. It is said that the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. Now I can only plant trees first."
Zhu Ju said with some helplessness that since the development of agriculture, there are very few classics. Many people who know about agriculture may not be able to read Chinese characters and rely on word of mouth.
It is extremely difficult to form a complete program.
Zhu Yingdao: "Recently, an academy of science has been established in the palace. It is about various theories, including agriculture, and recruitment is open to the world."
"Also, I plan to create a classic book that summarizes all the knowledge in the world. This will make it much more convenient for future generations to inquire and study, and it will also allow some precious knowledge to be preserved."
"Currently, this work is being handed over to Liu Sanwu from the Ministry of Education. He is convening learned people from all over the world to complete it together."
It is impossible for Zhu Di to be appeased, but the Yongle Dadian still needs to be compiled.
In fact, Zhu Ying has been preparing for this job for a long time, but considering that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is constantly expanding and the knowledge of other civilizations is being integrated, the recruitment of talents is now the mainstream.
Now, you can basically start.
This is not a series of books, but a kind of book. A kind of book is to classify, collect and compile some fragments of materials in various books, including heaven, earth, people, things and things.
It collects almost all the books that can be collected from ancient times to the present, and transcribes the valuable fragments from these books, including some literature, art, history, geography, philosophy, natural sciences, and some religions since ancient times. There are rich materials in all aspects.
be included.
In other words, this is an encyclopedia.
Zhu Rui was naturally very interested in such things, because some fragments in many books also related to agriculture, which was much more convenient than searching for information by himself.
——
Under Nanjing City.
More than a dozen Jinyi guards rode into Zhengyang Avenue.
Seeing the brocade clothes they were wearing, people around them immediately moved away.
Even now, the name of Jin Yiwei is scary enough. Although Jin Yiwei rarely handles cases involving ordinary people, this does not mean that they have no law enforcement power over ordinary people.
No matter how vicious the criminal is, he will become an honest person in front of Jin Yiwei.
The only one who kills someone is one of them. Once Jin Yiwei interrogates him, he may be the one who kills the whole family and wipes out the nine clans.
It's just that these Jin Yiwei still have various injuries on their bodies. Their cloaks are stained with blood and even have many holes.
The leader is none other than Song Zhong.
After entering the city of Nanjing with a dozen or so imperial guards, Song Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then fell off his horse.
"Lord Governor!!!"
A frightened voice immediately came from the Jin Yiwei next to him.
——
Jinyiwei Yamen.
Zhu Ying looked at Song Zhong who was lying unconscious on the bed. He waited for the imperial doctor to change the wound medicine and then asked: "How long will it take to wake up."
The imperial doctor respectfully replied: "Reporting to His Majesty Taisun, Song Zhenfu suffered multiple sword wounds on his body, and sharp arrows penetrated his chest. Fortunately, the organs were avoided. Due to excessive blood loss, he fell into coma."
"You should be able to wake up after a day or two of rest."
Zhu Ying nodded, as long as it's nothing serious.
More than an hour ago, Zhu Ying received news about Song Zhong, saying that he passed out directly on Zhengyang Avenue.
This made Zhu Ying suddenly angry.
More than half a year ago, Zhu Ying sent Song Zhong to investigate the corruption, perversion of the law, and meddling in military power by the Jin Yiwei in various places. In Zhu Ying's opinion, this was just caused by the corruption of the Jin Yiwei in some places.
But Song Zhong is like this. Obviously, there are many more people behind this than he imagined.
Without knowing it, an interest group has been formed.
Song Zhong was the envoy of Jinyiwei Town in the Ming Dynasty. He was a fourth-rank official and also served as his own personal bodyguard.
With such an identity, it can be said that he walked sideways throughout the Ming Dynasty. Even if Song Zhong was usually submissive in front of Zhu Ying, those who could come to Zhu Ying's side to guard him were considered to be huge figures to others.
However, with such an identity, during the investigation of the case, he encountered assassinations and attacks, which extended to the outside of Nanjing.
This makes Zhu Ying not angry.
"What's going on? Tell me."
After Zhu Ying left the room, he asked the more than ten Jinyi guards who had returned with Song Zhong.
One of them stood up and kowtowed respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness Taisun, we don't know anything about Song Zhenfu. We just suddenly received a secret order from Song Zhenfu and rushed to the Chaohu area to provide support."
"Then we were chased by hundreds of men in black. They were well-trained and thought they were members of the military. There were dozens of brothers. In the end, we were the only ones left to protect Song Zhenfu and escape."
"After leaving Chaohu, we were constantly pursued by troops from behind. We didn't dare to stop, and headed all the way to the capital, until we reached Zhengyang Avenue."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly and did not ask too much. It was impossible for these Jinyi guards to hide anything from him.
The key now is still Song Zhong.
He is not in a hurry, Song Zhong will wake up eventually, and the truth of everything will inevitably come to light.
When the time comes, those who deserve to be killed will be killed.
——
Somewhere in Shanxi, in a house.
"Are you crazy, Chen Dahu, how dare you! How dare you!"
"That's the Jin Yiwei Zhenfu Envoy, the personal bodyguard beside His Highness the Grand Sun. Compared with him, I'm like an ant."
"How dare you send hundreds of people to hunt him down!!!"
"Once this matter is exposed, not only the nine tribes, but also the ten tribes will be killed!"
"Chen Dahu, do you want all of us to die here?"
A middle-aged man suppressed his voice and asked hysterically.
Although he was very angry inside, he did not dare to say this out loud for fear of accidentally spreading it.
"What can I do? Should I let him find out everything?"
"Nine tribes! Ten tribes! If I die, I won't care about the floods after my death. If one day, those old diehards can be buried with me, hey, that's really good."
