The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 130 The Future of Daming Agriculture (please subscribe for monthly ticket)

Zhu Ying was a little confused when she heard Zhu Xi's words.

This was the first time he saw Zhu Xing, but in his mind, Zhu Xing was not a good person.

He has long been labeled as cruel.

But after knowing his own life experience, maybe because of his family relationship, he got a little better.

Seeing him in person now, I have to say that Zhu Ying's impression has somewhat changed.

People are always deceived by eyes, after all, Zhu Xi's appearance is not bad.

With a tall and straight figure, full of spirit between brows and confident eyes, it is easy to leave a good impression on people.

"Second Uncle is polite, I have forgotten about that, but it is the old man who may have caused Second Uncle a little grievance."

Zhu Ying said directly that he didn't know anything about Yupei.

Hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Xi had a bitter look on his face, the royal father really hit him, the kind that didn't hold back his hands.

If it wasn't for the fact that the father is a bit older now, and he also plays the music himself, maybe he really would have to lie on the bed for more than a month.

"We're all a family. There are some misunderstandings in the past, so I won't say much. The second brother and the eldest nephew have come to see you. Why, let us stand here." Zhu Yan said directly.

"My fault, third brother, eldest nephew, hurry up and sit down." Zhu Xi said hastily.

In the gazebo, after the three of them were seated, the servants quickly brought the tea.

Apparently Zhu Xing was already ready.

The tea is fragrant, and it is obviously a high-quality tea.

"What kind of tea are you making, second brother, you are really, you have become arty, hurry up and order the back chef to prepare some good dishes, and hurry up to serve the wine."

"The three of us, uncle and nephew, this is the first time we have met. Today, we will not get drunk or go home."

Seeing that his second elder brother Zhu Yu was actually preparing tea, Zhu Yan immediately yelled.

"Second brother didn't arrange this matter well, wait a moment, I'll give orders immediately." Zhu Xi laughed loudly when he heard this, and said directly with a little boldness.

Then he ordered the housekeeper to prepare.

"Second uncle, wait a minute."

Zhu Ying suddenly called out.

"Eldest nephew, what's the problem?" Zhu Xi couldn't help asking, he thought the elder nephew didn't want to drink.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, but I forgot, I own a tea house. This is the first time I have dinner with the two uncles, let my nephew arrange it." Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"How can this work? You have already arrived at the second uncle's house, and the second uncle can still let you prepare food. Isn't this a slap in the face of the second uncle? Let the second uncle do these small things."

Zhu Xi said with an unhappy face.

This time, the third younger brother Zhu Yan called the elder nephew over, not only to ask the elder nephew for help, but also to make an apology.

"Second brother, let your eldest nephew arrange it. It's not like you haven't eaten breakfast at the teahouse at your eldest nephew's house. Just the few cooks in your family can make some delicious food."

Zhu Min said unceremoniously, for food, Zhu Min likes it very much.

The cook here, the second elder brother Zhu Xi, is similar to his family's cook, there is nothing unusual about it.

But the eldest nephew gave him a lot of anticipation.

It was so delicious when it was made earlier, the food must not be bad depending on the situation.

Zhu Ying came here alone with Zhu Bian, so I can only trouble Zhu Bian to arrange someone to go to his mansion to inform.

Next, Zhu Ying started chatting with Zhu Bing and Zhu Bing.

Although Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu seemed to be doing very poorly in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, they were always reprimanded and made mistakes in their own domain.

But in fact, the two had great influence in the Ming army.

Since the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang has been gradually transferring military power to his sons.

In some big wars, let the sons lead the army as much as possible.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan also grew up in the military camp since they were young. When they were growing up, Zhu Yuanzhang also gave them elite education.

Leaving aside the aspect of knowledge, when it comes to leading troops to fight, they are all first-class masters.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if he is worse than Zhu Di in terms of merit, the difference in actual military capabilities will not be very big even if he is weak.

At least Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan together, there is no problem in beating Zhu Di alone.

Moreover, since Zhu Xun and Zhu Bian are both the sons and daughters of Empress Ma, their status is still very high among the many princes.

Especially Zhu Xi, when his elder brother Zhu Biao didn't die earlier.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Dazong Zhengyuan to the Zongren Mansion, and Zhu Xi was appointed as the Zongren Ling because he was the head of the kings.

The clan mansion is equivalent to a special hearing institution, in which the clan roster of the royal family members is written and the emperor's genealogy is written.

Record the concubines, titles, successors, birth and death years, marriages, funeral posthumous titles, etc. of the children of the royal family.

Among them, there are two most important ones, crimes committed by members of the royal family, which are tried separately by the clan government, including the salary of members of the royal family.

Zong Ren Ling, that is to say, all members of the royal family are under Zhu Xi's jurisdiction.

It seems that these royal family members don't seem to affect the overall situation.

But there is one thing, the current Daming is not the Daming after Zhu Dijing's disaster. All the feudal lords have military power in their hands.

Although it is not much, it can range from thousands to tens of thousands, and the nine frontier kings are also capped at [-].

The huge military system began to be controlled by members of the royal family.

After Zhu Di, these vassal princes and heirs were conspired to seize military power, and were not even allowed to join the army, become officials, do business, etc., and were given certain economic improvements.

Only then did the family make babies like crazy, and the Zhu family had millions of descendants.

Zhu Ying is not a pedantic person. To him, King Qin and King Jin used to be only in concept, how could they become intimate so quickly, there are some deliberate elements in it.

However, I feel that the kindness of the two uncles to me may have something to do with the old man, but after all, there is a strong blood connection.

Besides, he also needs the help of his two uncles.

"Second brother, you are going to suppress the rebellion in Sichuan this time, but you have to be careful. There is a lot of water in Sichuan, and firearms are easy to get wet."

Zhu Chen was already a little drunk at the moment, and said to his second brother Zhu Chen carelessly.

It seems that after the eldest nephew agreed to this matter, even the decree had already been delivered, and he didn't realize that this matter had not been conveyed to the old man.

"Third Brother, don't worry, as far as those barbarians, let alone firearms, even Qianqi can kill them to pieces, they are just a bunch of mobs."

After taking a few sips of wine, Zhu Xi also began to feel high-spirited, and completely lost the decadent mood of being grounded in the first place.

Zhu Ying was speechless, she drank this wine like the king of Qin, Zhu Xi, who was about to go to war tomorrow, and he was going strong today.

He thought that the two of them had a lot of alcohol, but in the end, they each only drank a little over a catty, and they were already in this posture.

The baijiu they drink now is taken from Zhu Ying, and the alcohol content is not much different from ordinary baijiu, but the purification technology is better.

So it looks more mellow.

As early as the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, liquor distillation technology had already appeared, and the shape and height were very similar to the liquor retort pots used today.

Therefore, the degree of alcohol in Ming Dynasty today is not much different from that of baijiu in later generations.

Zhu Ying's drinking capacity is not bad, after all, she spent a lot of time in the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands.

It's easy to drink over there, and Zhu Ying's body can bear it, and she can keep her face unchanged even if she says less than four or five catties of liquor.

When I heard Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu talking about leading troops to use firearms.

Even though he has gone to the gunpowder department and is even making matchlock guns, he still can't help but feel some sense of disobedience and separation.

This is influenced by later generations. In many films of later generations, the wars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were dominated by cold weapons, spears and broadswords.

In fact, as far as today's Ming Dynasty is concerned, the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France has almost reached the end of the second stage.

The germination of guns has already begun to gradually reveal its germination in the current Anglo-French war.

The Renaissance had also begun at this time.

Affected by the war, today's European countries have begun to pay more attention to guns.

The ideological reform brought about by the Renaissance also laid the foundation for many disciplines in later generations.

The current Daming is proficient in using firearms, this is the real Ming scene in the early Ming Dynasty.

When Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese in the late Ming Dynasty, the use of firearms in the large and small battles he fought was actually not much different from the modern wars of later generations.

It's just that when the firearms were in the hands of the Manchus, they were suppressed, and the chaotic system of the Manchus led to the retreat of firearms technology.

You must know that Qianlong and Washington in the Qing Dynasty belonged to the same era.

Just when the three uncles and nephews were drinking and chatting.

Feng Sheng has been ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to come to his son-in-law Zhu Zhou's mansion.

At this moment, Zhu Huan is writing hard in his study, recording and analyzing some properties of herbs.

As early as before, during the two years when Zhu Yuanzhang was confined in the capital and pondered behind closed doors, Zhu Wei had initially completed the compilation of "Pocket Prescriptions".

After returning to the fief in December of the 24th year of Hongwu last year, Zhu Wei has been completely immersed in it and cannot extricate himself.

Every day is spent in the process of exploring herbs, which also makes his relationship with his sons worse and worse.

The eldest son Zhu Youdun was in charge of the feudal land, and he was already very dissatisfied with him.

But Zhu Wei didn't care about these at all.

"Your Highness, Song Guogong is here to visit."

The old housekeeper in the capital, after entering the study, saw King Zhou was thinking, but he had no choice but to disturb him.

He knew that if he waited, His Royal Highness King Zhou might not even stop at sunset.

Such a soft call obviously did not attract the attention of Zhu Wei who was intoxicated among them.

The old housekeeper had no choice but to step forward and speak again.

Hearing this, Zhu Wei said in a daze, "Master Yuezhang is here? Why is he here? He shouldn't be training soldiers in Shanxi."

"Your Highness, Song Guogong is already waiting in the lobby." The old butler reminded again.

Zhu Huan nodded, looked at the classics on the desk with some nostalgia, and followed the old housekeeper to the lobby of the front yard.

After leaving the study, Zhu Wei finally came to his senses
Faced with the fact that Master Yuezhang came to find him, he seemed very puzzled. After all, after experiencing the previous confinement by the capital, even as a son-in-law, Zhu Wei had completely severed contact with Yuezhang Feng Sheng.

But Yue Zhang has already arrived at the mansion, with Yue Zhang's character, presumably there must be something going on.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei couldn't help speeding up his pace.

In the lobby, Feng Sheng looked at his son-in-law with a bit of embarrassment.

Feng Sheng has two daughters, one is married to Chang Yuchun, the eldest son of Kaiping Zhongwu King, and now Zheng Guogong Chang Mao.

However, the relationship between him and his eldest son-in-law is not very good, and there were conflicts before, which were all brought to His Majesty.

The second son-in-law, Zhu Huan, seemed to Feng Sheng to be very good.

Not to mention filial piety, and I don't have any other thoughts, but I don't do my job properly. As a vassal king, I don't care about government affairs and focus on medicine.

"My son-in-law has met Mr. Yuezhang." Zhu Xi said, clasping his hands together.

The relationship between Zhu Huan and Feng Sheng is still very good, even though Feng Sheng was suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang, so they haven't seen each other for two or three years.

"You don't need to be too polite." Feng Sheng said with a smile, holding Zhu's hands in a bow.

After the two of them were polite, Zhu Bing retreated to the left and right, and began to chat with Feng Sheng.

"Master Yuezhang, I don't know what's going on here this time."

Zhu Xi couldn't help but be direct, Zhu Xi had been afraid of his father since he was a child, and there was such a thing before.

Feng Sheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've come here this time for my father, I was ordered by His Majesty."

Zhu Huan was a little puzzled when he heard that, and asked, "What is the emperor's intention?"

Feng Sheng was a little helpless, knowing that this son-in-law was completely deaf to what was going on outside the window, and only read sage books.

It is estimated that they don't understand the current situation of the capital at all.

Can only say: "About the recent rumors about Xiaoling, I have heard about it."

Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment before saying: "It seems that there is such a thing."

He remembered that there used to be an eunuch in the palace who sent him some information about King Yu's tomb in Xiaoling Mausoleum.

However, he took a hasty look at it at the time, and found that it had little to do with him, so he ignored it.

Feng Sheng had no choice but to describe the matter of Xiaoling Mausoleum in detail.

After hearing this, Zhu Wei was still a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with Master Yue Zhang coming to see my son-in-law?"

Feng Sheng had no choice but to continue talking about Zhu Ying.

After listening to Zhu Xi, he understood, but what he said made Feng Sheng dumbfounded.

"It turned out that my eldest nephew opened the delicious breakfast to the teahouse. That's right. It seems that there is no need to worry about this early breakfast in the future."

"Yue Zhang returned to Beijing late, and the breakfast at Ping'an Tea House by the Qinhuai River is very famous. It's really delicious in the world."

"It's a pity that there are too few. When I am very hungry in the middle of the night, I miss it even more."

After Zhu Huan finished listening, he immediately recalled the delicious breakfast.

This is also the place that impressed him the most after he came to the capital from Kaifeng.

Hearing his son-in-law's words were not on the key point at all, Feng Sheng had no choice but to say: "This time your Majesty summoned him back to Beijing as his father to counsel His Highness the eldest grandson."

"I want to come to His Majesty's identity, after the Xiaoling incident, has been confirmed by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty asked Weifu to come to look for you, and he should also hope that Ju'er can support His Highness the eldest grandson. After all, it is difficult for many people to accept such a thing as death and resurrection."

Feng Sheng explained slowly.

But Zhu Huan said: "Since the father and emperor have confirmed it, how could it be false? In places like Xiaoling, there are still people who can act as demons. I think it must be my eldest nephew, who was lucky and fateful, and escaped the catastrophe." .”

In Zhu Huan's heart, his father Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything and had a very strong personality cult.

This kind of personality worship is not only for Zhu Wei, but also for all princes and princesses.

Although Zhu Huan loves reading, he has a simple mind because of his years of studying medicine.

This is very similar to the personality of some researchers in later generations.

Feng Sheng nodded, no matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to meet with His Highness Changsun first.

So he said: "If you have nothing to do, you can even go to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson with your father."

Zhu Huan nodded, he was still clear about the priorities.

"Yuezhang wait for my son-in-law for a while."

After Zhu Huan finished speaking, he went back to the study and sorted out the previous records. At the same time, he also asked the old housekeeper to take good care of the precious flowers and plants in the yard.

He brought these flowers and plants from Kaifeng. This is because Zhu Wei knew that the time of condolence would not be short, and he was worried about staying in the domain, so he brought them all here.

While taking care of it, it is also convenient for research and recording.

In fact, in a sense, Zhu Wei is not exactly a doctor, but more like a botanist.

Among them, rice is also a kind of plant, which is also within the scope of Zhu's research.
