Prince of Chaos

Chapter 416 Plant a seed

Zhu Changluo treated Chen Zhenlong extremely courteously. He not only accompanied him personally, but also let him sit beside him. This undoubtedly declared Chen Zhenlong's status in Xishan Huangzhuang.

Regarding this, the people in Xishan Huangzhuang and the honorable families who were invited by Xishan Huangzhuang today can only envy, and have no other ideas.

After all, even if Chen Zhenlong doesn't have this credit, he is entitled to receive such treatment based on the achievements of his son Chen Jinglun.

"Your Highness, I'm terrified. The merit I have achieved today is actually due to His Highness's grace, and I dare not take credit for it."

Chen Zhenlong is also very sensible, such a great contribution and favor did not make his eyes confused, and he became ecstatic.

He still humbly gave all the credit to Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo looked at Chen Zhenlong's appearance, and Zhu Changluo also liked Chen Zhenlong's sensible personality very much.

Zhu Changluo said: "I won't mention these things today. I'm happy today, and I want to celebrate your achievements today!"

Zhu Changluo's domineering aura overwhelmed the audience, he was really happy in his heart.

When Xiao Ruxun brought these boxes to Xishan Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo had already ordered someone to open a few boxes and take a look.

When he saw the corn and potatoes in the box, as well as some other plant seeds that he couldn't name, Zhu Changluo was in a good mood.

There is sweet potato Xishanhuangzhuang, but the plan for the staple food of sweet potato still faces great resistance.

First of all, the taste of sweet potatoes in this era is actually not very good.

Without systematic cultivation and years of selective breeding, the sweet potatoes of this era do not taste sweet at all, and the experience of eating is not very good. There are still a lot of aged fibers inside the sweet potatoes, which make the taste sticky.Zhu Changluo has no way to solve these various problems.

After all, he is not a professional biological botanist. It is already very good for him to know so many food crops that Daming does not have now.

Therefore, what Zhu Changluo can do now is to hand over professional matters to professional people as much as possible.

The professionals are Chen Zhenlong's son Chen Jinglun and his old assistant Zhang Erhe.This Zhang Erhe was Zhang Erhe, the old farmer who planted melons for Zhu Changluo at the beginning. Later, Zhu Changluo named him Zhang Erhe because he was good at growing melons.

Chen Jinglun's interest in agriculture is innate, and without Zhu Changluo's interference, he can devote himself to the research of these crops without sleep or food.

At the same time, Zhu Changluo also vigorously developed and tapped agricultural talents. Together with Chen Zhenlong, he systematically summarized the laws of agriculture, which is why Xishan Huangzhuang has such a huge achievement.

Under the guidance of Zhu Changluo, Xishan Huangzhuang has gradually established some relatively scientific and systematic studies, although these studies are still relatively simple.

However, even so, the achievements they have made are much better than those made behind closed doors.

There is no shortage of agricultural experts and inventors in ancient history. However, even if these agricultural experts and inventors have works handed down from generation to generation, they are only works written as scholars. In fact, these achievements are just their idle time. It's just a part-time hobby.

In terms of subsequent talent training and talent accumulation, the ancients did quite poorly.

In addition to the classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, which have a long history, research and annotations that have been introducing new ones.

Almost all other disciplines are hovering back and forth on the verge of severance of inheritance.

This also makes the scientific and technological progress in ancient Chinese civilization always have short-lived achievements and characters, but it has never continued to be deduced on the basis of inheritance.

This is undoubtedly a huge loss and blow to science that has always attached importance to the foundation and continuity!

However, it is different now.

Now with Zhu Changluo's strong support and intervention, Xishan Huangzhuang first established the Xishan Technology Research Institute, which specially recruited a group of people with basic skills to enter the research institute to display their talents and educate students.

Later, he spun off the Xishan Institute of Technology, established Xishan Academy, Xishan Institute of Technology and Xishan Institute of Physics, and further subdivided their current scientific and technological achievements.

Zhu Changluo believes that as long as he is given another ten or twenty years, he will be able to make a fundamental change in people's views on craftsmen.

At that time, no one will despise the status of craftsmen, despise the status of workers, and no one will call them low-class.

At that time, there will definitely be many people who will worship them, respect them, learn from them, and take them as an example!

If it really reaches this point.

Regardless of whether the future Ming Dynasty will move towards autocracy with more concentrated power, or towards relatively free democracy.In the end, Daming will definitely still stand at the top of this world.

The writing and culture of Ming Dynasty can still influence the world and push the world forward.

"Mr. Chen, you gave birth to a good son! Gu really didn't expect that Gu would be so lucky to be assisted by Mr. Chen and his son at the same time. It is the blessing of the community and the emperor's father to have you in Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Changluo never stopped praising Chen Zhenlong.

"The seeds you brought back are a thousand times better than gold and ten thousand times better than silver! The Xiyi people are vulgar. When they arrive in Dongzhou, they only know how to rob Dongzhou's yellow and white things. In the end, these yellow and white things will be bought by my Ming Dynasty." But Mr. Chen was able to resist the temptation and brought the most precious part of Dongzhou back to Daming. His noble character and integrity, which treats money like dung, made Gu amazed!"

Zhu Changluo's voice was so loud that almost everyone present could hear it.

Especially when they heard that there were already Xiyi people in Dongzhou, and that all the gold and silver that the Xiyi people robbed in Dongzhou were spent on Daming, and they were bought into silk and porcelain. It's wonderful.

They have been doing these businesses all the time. All the nobles and aristocratic families present, which one of them doesn't have a few unmelted Xiyi silver coins as ornamental objects, just to play with them?

They don't understand the seeds brought back by Chen Zhenlong, but they understand gold and silver!

With gold and silver in hand, what kind of good things can't be bought?

Therefore, for a while, everyone has a new layer of expectations for the distant Dongzhou.

Originally, they thought that after Chen Zhenlong brought the Dongzhou seeds back, the value of Dongzhou would be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince's next sentence would mention Dongzhou gold and silver!
"Is Your Highness Dongzhou really so rich?"

Cheng Guogong's son Zhu Chunchen asked.

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhu Chunchen, who was about the same age as him, and said with a smile: "Children, why do you ask this? I don't know how rich Dongzhou is. But I know that every year the Xiyi people live in Haideng County. There are several million taels of silver in the business of Shibosi. Xiyi is a small country, and the small country is barren. How can there be so much gold and silver in a barren place? From this inference, I think they got it in Dongzhou After getting a lot of wealth, I bought it in Daming."

Zhu Changluo's words brightened the eyes of all the honorable families present. Now they can't wait for the court to finish the Korean war and return the boat to them. They will also go to Haidongzhou to plunder wealth. .

Looking at the brilliance in their eyes, Zhu Changluo knew what they were thinking.

Zhu Changluo continued: "Actually, when it comes to gold and silver, there is also some news about the Japanese country that the front-line spies learned from the Japanese pirates. Although the Japanese country is small, it has mines! Otherwise, the Japanese country would not be able to launch wars against North Korea one after another. According to reliable information, the Japanese pirates are rich in silver mines, and it is this huge silver mine that supports the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese pirates! Gu intends to save the people of the Japanese kingdom from fire and water and send troops to the main island of the Japanese kingdom after the Korean War is over. I just don’t know what the government and the public will think about this? I am very worried that I will be said to be a belligerent master.”

After all, Zhu Changluo drank a glass of wine and never looked at the reactions of these people again.He continued to pull Chen Zhenlong to reminisce about the past, and listened to Chen Zhenlong tell his stories about his stay in Dongzhou over the past two years.

And Zhu Changluo's words are like a seed, planted in the hearts of these people. As for what kind of flowers can bloom in the future, it depends on Zhu Changluo's methods.

Zhu Changluo has already begun to arrange for people who have infiltrated into the main island of the Japanese country, and secretly spread the news that the silver mines of the Japanese country are everywhere.

I believe that in the near future, merchant ships traveling to and from Wa will bring back these rumors as truth.

At that time, Zhu Changluo will be able to use public opinion to control the dominance and continue to fight against the Japanese.

In fact, it is not a rumor to say that the Japanese country is rich and silver.The country of Wa is located in an earthquake zone, and each earthquake will bring out a large number of underground mineral deposits to the ground, and silver is one of them.

It's just that although these silvers are rich in minerals, according to the current smelting and extraction methods, they are no different from the legendary spell of turning stones into gold. For the current world, the silver in Japan is almost impossible to mine. of.

Therefore, for those who really put their treasures in the silver mines of Japan in the future, they can only ask for more blessings.Pray for the rapid improvement of smelting technology!

Otherwise, when they arrived in Wa country, they would see piles of pitch-black volcanic rocks.

That would be really fun!
