The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 263 Sapphire Causes Trouble
A large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are constantly piled together.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry stared fixedly at it, not daring to relax at all, even the patrolling soldiers moved much faster.

From the conversations of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, these soldiers are also very clear that these crops and grains can produce thousands of catties per mu.

Therefore, there must be no slightest neglect.

"Grandpa, when these high-yield grains are promoted nationwide, there must be many things that can be done."

Looking at the harvest in front of him, Zhu Ying said with a sigh.

Although there is no chemical fertilizer, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn require far less land than rice and wheat.

There is no need to be too benchmarking against future generations, because the registered population of the entire Ming Dynasty is just over 6000 million people.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, there were [-] million people.

Relying on the sweet potato, it also became known as the prosperous age of sweet potato.

What's more, this is potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, the three major types above.

"In two years' time, when the people of Ming Dynasty will have a bite to eat, even if there is a slight famine, the impact will not be significant, and the threat on the grassland should be eliminated."

"By the way, Timur's grandson, that one is called Pihei Ma. Is there any news about the eldest grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

According to the information from Jin Yiwei, Timur is currently attacking the Golden Horde, and the situation on the grassland is also very serious.

This season, there are already scattered teams on the grasslands on the border of Daming, breaking through the border of Daming to fight the autumn wind.

"The people under Sun'er's command have already made contact with Pi'erma Heima, and the relationship is currently getting along well. A lot of information about Timur's situation has been continuously recorded."

"Pirma Heima is Timur's grandson after all, and he is very familiar with Timur's current situation. It shouldn't take long to fully understand the situation on Timur's side."

"Judging from the recent feedback, although Timur has bowed his head to our Ming Dynasty, his wolf ambitions are clearly revealed."

"These people have no credibility at all, and they must have been eyeing our Daming for a long time. This time, Pierma Heima came here, probably because of Timur's instruction, and came to check on my Daming."

Zhu Ying said directly.

Recently, about the situation on Timur's side, one after another has begun to convey it.

After a few sips of wine, Pierma Heima didn't have the sense of secrecy like a diplomatic envoy at all, and he would answer everything he asked.

I'm afraid you don't know enough about some things related to the army, so if you explain them in detail, it's called a detailed explanation.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile after listening.

He has always been very reassuring about Dasun's handling of affairs.

At present, he carefully reads the memorials handled by Dasun, but hardly reads the latter.

The main reason is that Dasun's method of handling things is almost very fair, and even some handling methods made Zhu Yuanzhang sigh.

"Since that's the case, what will Dasun plan to do to him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Ying pondered slightly, and said: "At present, Pierma Heima is very proud of his army. In his eyes, it seems that Timur's army is the strongest army in the world."

"The best way to get rid of Timur's ambition for my Ming Dynasty and reduce the friction on the frontier is to let you see my Ming's military might."

"Only when he understands that my Ming soldiers are not something Timur's army can fight against, then he will feel jealous."

"These fears will be brought to Timur by Pi'erma Heima."

In this regard, Zhu Ying had already made good plans, and it would be good to just give him the whole military parade when the time comes.

Just this one, he must be taken aback for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied after listening.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very interested in things like promoting our country's prestige.

This can be seen in the tribute.

Soon, all the grain seeds have been harvested.

Half of these grains will be distributed to the people around the capital to start planting.

The other half will be used as storage, most of which will be kept in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry for backup.

A small part will be sent to the hands of Zhu Wei of the Agricultural School for him to study.

These specific matters are naturally handled by officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Ever since Zhu Ying was proclaimed the heir apparent, Lan Yu's status has risen accordingly.

The Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has a lot of power, but in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion in the capital, there are actually not many things to do every day, and it is very leisurely.

It is said that he commands the army of the whole country, but in fact only the generals who go out to train troops have more things to do.

Those who stay in the capital have nothing to do except morning court every day.

Sapphire recently went to court early, and was often invited to drink by the generals of the Dudu Mansion.

Basically every day there are various invitations from generals, Zhu Ying's identity is exposed, and Sapphire's position has become stable again, so naturally there are many people who are flattering.

Sapphire itself is good at wine, and now it is the time when she is full of ambition, how can she refuse, she is drunk almost all day long.

Today, another wine bureau.

It was Lan Yu's former subordinate, the governor, who was in charge of Ma Jun's group.

Most of the people who participated were members of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and most of these people used to be under Lan Yu's command, or Chang Yuchun's command.

As the saying goes, what kind of general will bring what kind of soldiers.

Chang Yuchun's temper was notoriously bad in the army, and the tempers of the soldiers who followed him were naturally not much better.

However, these violent people are still very brave in terms of fighting, and they have made a lot of contributions. Now that the Ming Dynasty founded the country, it can be regarded as rich.

"Xie Xiong, what's going on with you boy today, the general is here, what does it mean to have a bitter face?"

"I see you kid, your skin is itchy, why don't you hurry up and toast the general."

Among the many people, everyone was very happy, only Xie Xiong seemed to be drinking alone.

Such behavior, in the eyes of many people, is a bit out of place.

As today's host, Ma Jun naturally didn't want to make Lan Yu unhappy, so he quickly scolded.

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Xie Xiong raised his wine glass to Lan Yu, and said in a muffled voice: "General, it's the last general's fault. The last general punished himself with three cups. Please forgive me, the general, don't be bad because of the last general." Interested."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then filled it up himself, and drank two more glasses.

In such a situation, anyone can see that Xie Xiong has something hidden in his heart.

Sapphire watched, held the wine in the glass, but didn't drink it.

Instead, he said to Xie Xiong: "You kid, you followed me when you were 16 years old. If there is anything, you can't tell me."

"I still remember that when you went to the desert with me, almost all the brothers had to stay there. It was just like that, and I didn't want you to make a fuss."

"Why, now that something is going on, you can't remember my big brother coming?"

Sapphire's words immediately drew everyone's approval.

"That is, since the eldest brother has spoken, if you have anything to do, just say it."

"Xie Xiong, what's the matter, the general asked you directly, and still wants to hide it."

"I looked at the boy, maybe I was holding my breath at my wife, so I dare not say it, haha!!"

Hearing this, Xie Xiong became angry all of a sudden, and said to the man who spoke just now: "Your uncle, you can still let the mother-in-law eat you, you kid, watch your mouth, don't talk nonsense, be careful of me This tantrum."

After listening to the man, he didn't hesitate at all, and he didn't get angry because of Xie Xiong's words. He teased: "Yo Yo Yo, you're so impatient. Since it doesn't have anything to do with the mother-in-law at home, it's the right thing to say."

"You still feel that the brothers present can't settle anything for you."

"Furthermore, even if the brothers can't help, there is still the general here. Although the capital is big, I'm afraid there is nothing the general can't settle."

Hearing this, Xie Xiong was a little hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he still hesitated.

"Hawking, like a bitch, went out later, don't say it's my brother of Lan Yu, and don't tell others, you used to be with me, I can't afford to lose this person."

She was already a bit drunk, but when she saw Xie Xiong's hesitation, Lan Yu immediately became upset and scolded directly.

Hearing this, Xie Xiong also knew that he had to say it, so he said directly: "The general forgives the crime, it's not that the general refuses to say it, it's just that the relationship between it is indeed a bit big, and the general does not want the general to do it for you. At the end of the day, this matter will make me unhappy."

The person next to him said: "You boy, who do you look down on? I just made it clear that in this capital, can there be things that the general is worried about?"

When Xie Xiong heard this, he glared at the speaker, and then said to Lan Yu, "General, I'm ashamed to say this. This matter has something to do with Zhan Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"I have a brother's elder brother who works in the official department. I don't know where he offended Zhan Shangshu. Now he directly puts my brother's elder brother in prison."

"The brothers all know what kind of place that prison is. This man was not in good health. How could he survive this prison disaster? He died in the prison cell just two days ago."

"My brother, his parents died since he was a child, and he was brought up by his elder brother since he was a child. Seeing that he died in prison, he cried to me."

"A certain person was upset, so he went to Zhan Shangshu to argue with him. Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded, telling me to pay attention to myself, and don't do anything to him, otherwise no one will be able to save me."

"He, Zhan Hui, is a minister of the second grade. I can't afford to provoke him."

After Xie Xiong finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and took another big sip.

Of course, there is another key point Xie Xiong didn't say, that subordinate is almost equivalent to a personal soldier. He has followed for many years, and all those who fought in the South and North have participated in it.

Once in a battle, Xie Xiong was shot by the enemy's arrow because he rushed forward. It was this man who carried Xie Xiong on his back all the way, and insisted on saving his life.

Xie Xiong, who is loyal first, is naturally moved, and treats him almost like his own brother.

Now that my brother is in trouble, and his relatives are still dead, but he has nothing to do, how can he be happy.

"It turned out to be Zhan Hui, an old boy. I have long disliked him, but I have never had a chance to give him a good beating."

"Thank you Xiong, don't worry, you boy, but how big a storm can be caused by a mere minister. Today, I want to see and see what this guy means."

"By the way, when you came into contact with this guy, you mentioned my name."

When Sapphire talked about the latter, you asked directly.

After Xie Xiong listened, he said: "General, how could I not mention it, the key is to mention the name of the general, this guy doesn't give any face at all."

"Send someone directly, and drive me out of there."

After hearing this, someone next to him was so angry that he threw his wine glass on the ground and said loudly, "Damn it, Zhan Hui doesn't take my brother seriously because of his status as a minister."

"Forget it, even the general doesn't pay attention."

"I'm angry too!!!"

Sapphire hadn't said much at first, and wanted to ask what happened, and then look at the situation and deal with it.

The other person spoke like this, and immediately made the whole atmosphere completely different,

Many generals began to roar.

After taking a few sips of wine, when the roar came out, the whole restaurant seemed to be shaken.

Seeing this, Lan Yu lost her temper and scolded directly: "What an old boy, you have bullied my brother."

After finishing speaking, he looked at many of his former subordinates and said sharply, "Since someone doesn't make my brother feel better, then naturally I can't make him feel better."

"Left and right are too lazy to ask, Zhan Hui, I have long wanted to beat him up, and now, many brothers, come with me."

"Let's go to him now and let him know that our brother is something he can't afford."

"From now on, show me the tricks."

After Lan Yu finished speaking, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then slammed the glass on the ground.

With a loud shout, he led many subordinates and went out directly.

The servant in the restaurant, seeing Lan Yu and the others leaving, did not dare to speak.

Even the generals like Sapphire, who left before paying their bills, can be regarded as eating the overlord's meal directly.

But even if it is the shopkeeper, it is impossible to stop Liang Guogong Lan Yu from asking for money.

This little money should be considered as a waste of money to eliminate disasters.

If you really want to ask for money, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it.

More than a dozen people walked directly towards Zhan's mansion along the way.

Unlike other Shangshu, Zhan Hui also had his own house in the capital.

Zhan Hui is not a poor scholar. Before that, his father had served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Now Zhan Hui is 48 years old, and his son Zhan Fu is an official to Shang Baocheng.

It can be said that a family is rich, and a house is nothing.

What's more, the current Zhan Hui is still a big celebrity in front of His Majesty.

In normal times, Lan Yu would have some scruples about him, but after drinking, especially after being provoked by many brothers, Lan Yu still cares so much.
