Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 346 On cunning and hypocrisy, he far exceeds my father

Few people know that Zhu Gaosui was secretly transported to Shuntian. After all, this person is special and the situation is also special.

But the sudden news shocked everyone.

Emperor Xuande issued an edict and King Zhao rebelled. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, his title should have been revoked, deposed as a commoner, and sent to the border areas. However, because he had made many contributions to the Ming Dynasty in his early years and interceded with the King of Wu, his clan identity was retained.

However, the crime of treason is unforgivable. The King of Wu proposed to go with the ocean-going treasure fleet to the place where Qian Yong and others discovered new grains in the past to explore and obtain more new grains for the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty agreed.

The official language in the edict can be ignored. The summary is that King Zhao was treasonous. He should have deposed his title, seized his body, and sent him to the frontier. However, King Wu recommended that he should be punished and perform meritorious service to retrieve more grain seeds for the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Xuande agreed.

As for how many words in this edict are credible and how many are not, no one has pursued this issue, and people are still talking about Zhu Gaosui's ending.

Although it was said that he retained his clan status, he was actually exiled, and he was exiled overseas. This can be said to be the first in history.

But does anyone really care?

Yes, there must be some, but these are people who have already mastered some things and want to go further. Moreover, there is another thing, that is, they are dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanhe.

But for the vast majority of people, they don't care about this, just because of a sentence in the edict.

New grain seeds.

Pushing back the time more than ten years ago, no one would have thought that one day the grain yield could reach [-] per mu, or even more.

At that time, even if you went out and said it, no one would believe you. Everyone would think that you were going crazy and having a big dream, because that was something that no one dared to even think about.

But now, even if you tell people that there is a grain yield of ten thousand kilograms per mu in the world, some people will believe it.

What’s not to believe?In the Ming Dynasty, the rice and wheat yield per acre was only two to three hundred kilograms, but the grain seeds brought back by Qian Yong and the others doubled the yield, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes increased several times.

Wanjin, is it a lot?Isn’t it a tenfold increase compared to now?There were such miracles back then, why not now?

Of course, this is still an exaggeration, after all, the vast majority of people are rational.

In people's imagination, there may indeed be food with higher yields in this world, but everything will have a critical point. If it exceeds this critical point, it will still exceed the psychological endurance of most people.

However, this does not prevent people from having reasonable fantasies.

For example, today’s grain output in the Ming Dynasty includes corn with a yield of more than [-] per mu, and potatoes and sweet potatoes with a yield of more than [-] per mu. It would not be too much to have a new grain variety with a yield of [-] or even [-] per mu. Bar?
Moreover, Zhu Zhanhe was able to find high-yielding grains like potatoes and sweet potatoes, so why couldn't he find others?
The emergence of higher-yielding grains made it impossible not only for ordinary people to refuse, but also for officials, nobles, etc.

In this era, food represents interests in the eyes of all classes. However, in the eyes of some people, the interests are to feed themselves, to marry and have children, while for some people, it is more money and greater rights. .

As for who is going, how, and what the outcome will be, who cares?
What happened to the royal family?Can’t the royal family members go?Besides, he was a royal clan member who had committed a serious crime of treason. Retaining his clan status was already an act of mercy outside the law.

how to get to?Isn't there a fleet of ocean-going treasure ships?As for the dangers on the ocean road?Isn't that normal?The waves on the sea are so strong, it would be abnormal if there is no danger.

As for the ending?

After all, we are looking for new grains, and there is a possibility of failure, but what does it have to do with them?There is no need for them to put themselves at risk.

If they succeeded, they would say nice things and show that they were not ungrateful people.

If it fails, then it will naturally be a matter of venting. Anyway, it is just a matter of opening your mouth, and nothing will be lost.

However, is it really that simple?

At the foot of Tianshou Mountain.

A very simple house, which used to be the residence of the Imperial Mausoleum Detention Center, but now it has become the residence of Zhu Gaosui and his family.

The reason is simple. The ocean-going treasure fleet is still resting and will not set off until the Suez Canal can carry the treasure fleet. Before that, the Zhu Gaosui family needs a place to stay.

According to the imperial edict, it was not suitable for Zhu Gaosui and his family to stay in the imperial prison, so Zhu Zhanhe simply fulfilled Zhu Gaosui's "wish" and asked him to come to Tianshou Mountain to guard the mountain for the old man.

"Your Highness..." Looking at Zhu Gaosui with a gloomy face, Princess Zhao Weng said anxiously.

"Although he was exiled overseas, he still managed to save his life. Now the situation is better than others. Your Highness, please don't worry anymore."

"What do you know about a woman?" Zhu Gaosui glanced at his Princess Zhao with a sinister look.

"Of course, the edict must be said in a nice way, but judging from the ruthlessness of that boy Zhanhe, it is definitely not a good place!"

"I think back then, although he only sent 200 people, three people came back. It's not too much, but it's not too much."

"Without the treasure fleet, it would be a miracle for 200 people to buy their own ships and go across the ocean. It would be a miracle that they could come back alive, not to mention that most of those 200 people died because of the troubles made by the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire on the way. .”

"From the point of view of this matter, it doesn't seem to be difficult. After all, two hundred people can complete it. There is no reason why we can't complete it if we follow the treasure fleet. But this is the most ruthless part of that kid."

Weng was stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion.

It was clear that everything her husband said was good, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
"So you don't understand!" Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.

"If it is really simple, then why don't you send people there again? How many seeds did Qian Yong and other talents bring back? It took several years for that boy to slowly promote it, why don't you just send people to get more seeds? The seeds are back?”

"Yes, there is a barrier between the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire, which is not worth it, but what was it like back then? Who doesn't know that the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire at that time were just for potatoes, and which one didn't bow to that kid?"

"Not to mention passing through their land, even if they were allowed to sleep with his wife in the palace, Shaharul probably wouldn't even complain at all!"

"It can be seen that this ocean... at least getting seeds is definitely not a good job!"

"Otherwise, when that kid was short of food and still had people, ships, and connections, why didn't he send someone to get it instead of cultivating it himself?"

"Hmph, this kid..."

"In terms of ruthlessness, he is far better than my second brother, and in terms of cunning and hypocrisy, he is far better than my father!"
