Chapter 673 Global Village

"Father, the fighting power of the United States is too strong! As the crown prince of the country, the crown prince has a high status and cannot easily take such a big risk!" At this time, Yan Wang Zhu Di stepped forward and said, "I beg my father to The emperor withdrew his order and let the prince sit in the capital, and the son-in-law replaced the prince and led the Ming navy to expedition to America."

"Fourth brother is right, the expedition to America is too dangerous, the prince should not be put in danger." The other princes heard the words, and they also advised Lao Zhu one after another.

"My elder brother understands the wishes of the younger brothers." Prince Zhu Biao said, "I have made up my mind, and I must conquer the United States. The United States is the biggest enemy of Ming Dynasty. If I, the prince, dare not go to fight in person, how will I convince the public in the future? "

Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Chun heard the words, so they didn't continue to persuade.

"The matter is settled like this!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Biaoer, you immediately go to the Jinling Shipping Department to choose a suitable warship, and all the generals of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion are also up to you to choose."

"In short, we will give you whatever you want."

"We will send whoever you want to be your vanguard!"

"Father!" Zhu Biao said, "I don't care about the rest of the conditions. I only need one person to accompany me."

"Who?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Teacher Qin!" Zhu Biao said.

"You can talk to him about this yourself," Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"As ordered!"

"In addition, from now on, Biao'er will be restored to the position of crown prince, and at the same time restore the honor of queen!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Use the Da Ming Daily to announce to the world, and let the whole world know that they have been wronged during this period."

"Our sister and Biao'er endured humiliation in order to eliminate the Chinese nobles. They are worthy of the respect of the common people."

"According to the order!"

"Besides, Dier, Zhu Chun, Zhu Xi, you guys are also good at acting!"

……

a few days later.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came to Lujia Village, he saw that Qin Yu was working in the fields with his trousers arm-legged, leading several students from the prince.The princes and the rest of the female students were all covered in mud, but they still had fun doing it.

"Mr. Qin, you actually lead the students to farm in person?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Cun Chief Huang, come down too." Qin Yu said.

"Okay!" Lao Zhu went down to the field without saying a word, and followed the crowd to clean up the barnyard grass in the rice field.

"Mr. Qin, this rice..." Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the uniqueness of the rice here. The rice in this paddy field, and the ears of rice on each plant, were several times more than ordinary ones.

Not only the quantity is large, but also the grains are full.

"This is my newly bred hybrid rice." Qin Yu said.

"It's such a high yield!" Zhu Yuanzhang held a rice ear in his hand and looked at the sun, his hands trembling.In an agricultural society, it is self-evident what a high-yielding rice seed means.

This will be another artifact to consolidate the country!

"Have those feudal nobles disappeared?" Qin Yu asked.

"Almost all the big families entrenched in the court have been wiped out." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "However, there are still many local nobles and gentlemen, and it is difficult to wipe them out easily."

"They are always a hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty!"

"We're a little worried. One day we're gone, and the future kings of Daming won't be able to subdue them and let them make a comeback. It's a disaster for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, a disaster for the country and the people."

"You can rest assured about this." Qin Yu said, "They will only disappear slowly, and there will be no chance of making a comeback."

"Without their ideological foundation and agricultural economic foundation, there will be no soil for survival."

"Well, what you said makes sense!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Actually, the complete collapse of the aristocratic farming economy is largely due to the appearance of potatoes." Qin Yu said, "Now with the addition of hybrid rice, the farming economy will completely withdraw from the stage of history."

"Humans have always been trying to survive, which is to fill their stomachs."

"The harder it is for a society to feed itself, the more it oppresses."

"The more easily a society fills its stomach, the more civilized it is, the smaller the stage for the oppressor."

"And potatoes and hybrid rice are magic tools to fill your stomach. Simply put, if potatoes and hybrid rice were put in the Qin Dynasty... those feudal nobles would not live so long."

"The reason why the West took the lead in entering modern civilization (there were universities in the West during the Song Dynasty, Washington and Qianlong were contemporaries, and Qianlong was still ruling the world in a cage when Washington established congratulations.) ... is because the industrial revolution drove the development of agriculture, Agricultural development reached a golden age, and then grain production increased in a large amount, and it was easy for the people to have enough to eat.”

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are native to the West."

"It seems that high-yield crops are really artifacts of civilization!" Zhu Biao said beside him.

"Who says it's not?" Qin Yu said, "There is an old saying that food is the most important thing for the people. When everyone is full, they will have the energy to pursue more advanced things."

"If you don't have enough to eat, people will first seek to survive."

"When you are full, you must pursue freedom and equality. This is an irreversible historical trend. Unless some people go against the wheel of history and make people hungry again."

After some time, the hybrid rice finally yielded a good harvest.

Qin Yu brought the first batch of high-yielding rice seeds to the Ming Dynasty.

If Emperor Zhu gets the treasure, he can send people to distribute it to the grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River for planting.Establish experimental fields and seed companies, and after two or three seasons, the seeds produced will be enough for the whole country.

"Village Chief Huang, after hybrid rice is popularized, it should be sold overseas so that they can get the seeds too," Qin Yu said.

"Give it to overseas people?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned upon hearing this, "How can you give it to others so easily?"

"The structure can't be so small!" Qin Yu said, "Because the economic foundation of Ming Dynasty is now based on the commercial economy. If people from overseas countries can't even eat enough to eat, where can they get the spare money to do business with Daming? Daming is a country rich, and the rest of the countries are poor, which will definitely affect the overall economy of Ming Dynasty."

"If all overseas countries are unable to do business with Ming Dynasty, then the economy of Ming Dynasty will collapse easily. If no one buys silk, the silk industry will collapse. If no one buys porcelain, the porcelain industry will collapse."

"The faster the industry develops, the harder it is to digest internally."

"Helping them is actually helping yourself."

"This is not only the case in economy, but also in civilization. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty should not only help them develop their economy, but also help them enter civilization and eliminate exploitation."

"Imagine that the civilization of the Ming Dynasty is advanced, but the neighboring countries are still practicing slavery. The basic concepts and values ​​are different. How can the two sides have fun together?"

"Since we want to do business with overseas countries, the whole world is a whole. One loses all, and one prospers. This idea is called the global village idea,"

"It makes sense!" Old Zhu said, "That's why we, the Ming Dynasty, want to be the world's catcher."
