Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 85 Zhu Di, who follows the heart [Seeking further reading]

Hearing what Ping An said, Zhu Biao couldn't help but start to recall the production problems of rice, wheat and other staple foods reported by various places in recent years.

He has an unforgettable ability, and naturally he quickly recalled it.

Indeed, as Ping An said, all staple grains have reduced production to varying degrees, but the magnitude is not large.

In addition, high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which were introduced from the late Ming Dynasty, were planted in general, so this reduction in yield did not attract enough attention.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and he thought it was normal. After all, some people would change the land used to grow rice to high-yield crops such as corn.

But now it seems that things are not so simple.

"It's not impossible to solve this!"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Take human beings as an example, opening up the sea of ​​qi is equivalent to the natural upgrading of rice, but human beings can not only open up the path of sea of ​​qi, but also open up dantian. This is what generations of martial arts masters have concluded. This is the way for a man to conquer the sky!"

Although Dantian and Qihai are both upgraded, they are two completely different paths of cultivation. I think the same is true of rice. The upgraded rice under natural selection has a developed root system and will not bear rice ears, but what if we deliberately cultivate it? "

"Just as people can open up dantian through cultivation, can the rice be upgraded to the new variety of spiritual rice that we need with a short growth cycle, high quality, and huge yield?"

"This...how to cultivate?" Ping'an looked confused.

"Hybrid!"

Zhu Biao spit out two words: "Let various varieties of rice be cross-pollinated with each other and become a new variety!"

"This is recorded in Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation", you can go and see it!"

When Zhu Biao spoke, he couldn't help thinking of a kind-hearted grandfather in his previous life.

"I'll leave this matter to you. To be honest, this matter is much more promising than alchemy."

"If the Taoist priest can really produce high-yield and high-quality rice, it will be famous and enduring for thousands of years."

Hearing this, Ping An's eyes lit up. Although he is a Taoist priest and a person outside the party, he has already entered the world, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with pursuing a little fame and fortune.

"Then, the three-year period set for us by His Majesty..." Ping An hesitated.

Zhu Yuanzhang had personally said that within three years, the medicinal herbs would not be able to produce results that would benefit the country and the people, and the entire Gezao Mountain would be beheaded.

"I will explain this matter to the royal father. You just need to put all your energy into it. Of course, you must see the results of this matter. Otherwise, it is not easy for me to explain it to the royal father!" Zhu Biao said.

"Understood, thank you, Your Highness!" Ping An saluted with joy.

Things were resolved one by one. Nuoda's Daming Empire had countless things piled up every day, waiting for him, the prince of the country, to decide.

Immigration, imperial examinations, salt administration, food, taxation, everything is crucial, and it is related to the livelihood and destiny of countless people.

To be honest, the taste of controlling power is indeed very impressive. Zhu Biao's work intensity even unconsciously changed from [-] to [-]...

A month later.

Ciqing Palace.

Zhu Biao and several of his younger brothers were eating lunch with Queen Ma.

During this period of time in the late Qing Dynasty, things were busy, and Lao Zhu had not come back for several days, so their sons often came over to show their filial piety.

Queen Ma has also opened up a sea of ​​qi since she took a rebirth pill and a longevity fruit.

Although she doesn't like to practice, after the sea of ​​qi is opened up, the aura will be absorbed by the body spontaneously, changing the body bit by bit, prolonging the life span, so the current Empress Ma looks more and more radiant. Although she is almost 50 years old, she is not aging signs, but more and more youthful.

"Biao'er, how is your father over there? I haven't heard any news for several days. I'm a little worried!" Queen Ma asked while eating.

"Don't worry, mother, I have been paying attention to things over there, there is no big problem!" Zhu Biao smiled and relieved.

"That's fine!"

Queen Ma nodded and glanced at Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan who were blinking at her, and then said: "You brothers want to go there to see and see, but dare not tell your father, you are a big brother. When you go to work next time, take them with you, okay?"

Zhu Biao naturally saw the little actions of his two stupid younger brothers, and he secretly thought that he really forgot about these three when he was busy during this time.

"Empress mother, you don't say that I will take them there too. Recently, my pro-military guards have also been transferred over. They are pro-military guards for hundreds of households, but they really can't go there!"

"Really?"

"Big brother, are you going to go to the battlefield!" Zhu Xu stood up in a flash, his face full of excitement.

After joining Zhu Biao's army and guards for six years, they practiced, ran, fought, and studied every day, boring and fulfilling.

Not only him, the entire [-] brothers in the army and guards are looking forward to the day when they can actually go to the battlefield

Seeing the worried look on Empress Ma's face, Zhu Biao quickly said, "How could it be, I'm just going there to help defend, how can it be my turn for hundreds of people to fight!"

When he came out of Ciqing Palace, Zhu Biao couldn't help but glared at Zhu Xi.

"You kid, always so frizzy."

"Brother, I was wrong!" Zhu Xu hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"I'll give you a thorough understanding first, this time there was indeed a war in the past."

"Didn't you guys keep arguing about wanting to lead an army alone? This battle is your chance. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not!"

"I'll make it clear first, this is not only what I mean, but also what the royal father means."

The three of them still have no titles, and they are only officials of a hundred households.

In Zhu Biao's view, this is not repression, but experience. In the past six years, the three people's personalities have undergone major changes, especially Zhu Xi and Zhu Ho. Zhu Biao believes that even if Zhu Yuanzhang really divides them now Everywhere is king, and they can no longer do those absurd things in history.

"Big brother, I'd like to stay in the pro-military guards, and I don't want to go anywhere!" Zhu Di hurriedly expressed his attitude behind, resolutely not to join forces with the two brothers.

"Is this little brother so conscientious?" Zhu Biao secretly smiled.

"Traitor!" Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi glared at Zhu Xi.

"I'm not going to grab your place, or else you two will be able to beat me?" After training and living together for five or six years, he was not afraid of these two stupid brothers.

When Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi thought about it, what Zhu Xi said really made sense, and they all burst into laughter again.

"Okay, fair competition and common progress!"

"Fourth brother, don't have any scruples. What is yours is yours. Whether you become a general or a commander in the future, should we be brothers or brothers?"

"And the two of you, too, do you understand?"

Zhu Biao looked at the three younger brothers who had been with each other for six years with a serious face, and spoke solemnly.
