Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 94 Cao Wei: I recommend Ma He to go to sea!

Lan Yu looked through the telescope and saw the fields in the distance facing the gate of the manufacturing bureau. The wheat was swaying in the breeze.

The wheat field was at least five or six miles away from Lan Yu's current position. However, with the help of the telescope, Lan Yu could clearly see the awns on the wheat in the wheat field, like silver needles. , the roots are clearly defined, as if you are watching them right in front of your eyes!
Lan Yu stared, holding up the telescope and looking around for a long time, with a surprised expression on her face.

Finally, he took down the telescope in front of him, shook his head and praised it, his expression became even more uncontrollably excited, "This is such a good baby!"

The reason why Lan Yu was so excited was because he thought of the huge role that telescopes could play on the battlefield!
He has already seen the huge sky lanterns developed by the Ministry of Industry, which can allow people to fly into the sky, greatly broadening their field of vision and detecting every move of the enemy.

But the farther away from the ground, the wider the human field of vision, but it will become increasingly unclear everything on the ground, and can only be seen roughly.

This telescope is simply made for the battlefield!With a telescope, anyone who follows the Kongming Lantern to the sky can clearly see everything on the ground!
Not to mention the Kongming Lantern, even in the hands of ordinary generals and scouts, this telescope can play a huge role!

If Lan Yu could have such a telescope in his hand, he could easily control any situation on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, he looked at Cao Wei with warm eyes, "Boy, can you give me this telescope?"

Cao Wei looked troubled, "General, you don't know. This telescope was made from the glazed lamp I asked for from Your Majesty. Now that it is made, I must inform Your Majesty first. As for how to deal with it, it depends on Your Majesty's wishes."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang, the fiery color in the blue jade eyes suddenly diminished a lot, and he nodded heavily.

If you want to ask who Lan Yu is most afraid of in this world, it is undoubtedly Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the entire Yingtian Mansion, he dared to point his nose at everyone, but in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not dare to have the slightest bit of pride.

Also, Lan Yu's attitude towards Cao Wei was not too domineering, and a big reason was also because of Zhu Yuanzhang.

When she first learned about Cao Wei, Lan Yu didn't take it seriously, even though Cao Wei gave him a way to get the Ministry of Industry to make a Kongming Lantern that could carry people to heaven.

In Lan Yu's eyes at that time, Cao Wei was just a smarter farmer.

But during Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday party, Zhu Yuanzhang led all the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the emperor's relatives to the manufacturing bureau to watch the train. Lan Yu noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang treated Cao Wei unusually.

Zhu Yuanzhang valued Cao Wei very much!

However, Cao Wei's ability to build such strange things as trains did have the capital to make Zhu Yuanzhang treat him differently.

Cao Wei is a strange person!

Lan Yu has a explosive personality, has a big temper, and is sometimes reckless, but this does not mean that Lan Yu is a stupid person.

If Lan Yu was a fool, how could he suppress the enemy's experienced generals on the battlefield and win repeatedly?
You know, fighting is also a technical job, and there is no shortage of falsehoods, realities, and intrigues in it!

Lan Yu has been fighting for so many years and has made great achievements, which shows that Lan Yu is definitely a wise person.

Zhu Yuanzhang valued Cao Wei very much, so he was willing to restrain his temper a little and make friends with Cao Wei.

The telescope that Cao Wei took out today made Lan Yu even more convinced that she did the right thing!
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang treats Cao Wei differently. Cao Wei is really too capable!
Huge sky lanterns, trains, telescopes, these inventions can be called important tools of the country. If ordinary people can build one, it will be like smoke rising from ancestral graves. But in Cao Wei's case, they are like worthless cabbage. are constantly being developed.

There is also the official salt price cut that caused a lot of commotion in various places in the past few days. It seems that it was also caused by Cao Wei's development of a new salt-making technology and the surge in salt production by the Ministry of Industry.

This young man has an immeasurable future!

"How about this? The general can bring the telescope to see His Majesty, so that His Majesty will know that the common people have developed the telescope. As for what His Majesty will do with the telescope, it depends on how the general performs it." Cao Wei said.

Lan Yu nodded after hearing this. Cao Wei had given a good idea.

Then the two chatted for a while. During the conversation, Lan Yu discovered that Cao Wei also had good opinions on the art of war. He talked about it clearly and eloquently, such as how soldiers never tire of deceit, besieging Wei to save Zhao, driving tigers and devouring wolves, deceiving defeat and luring the enemy...

To be honest, Cao Wei has read many classic books in modern times, and has been exposed to various movies and TV shows. Even if he has watched so many issues of Baijia Forum, it is naturally not difficult to talk on paper.

This made Lan Yu suddenly start to love talents.

With the military qualities Cao Wei showed just now, with a little more training, he will surely become another outstanding general of the Ming Dynasty!
Since Chang Yuchun, Xu Da and other veteran generals of the Ming Dynasty passed away one after another, Lan Yu has become a flower among the generals of the Ming Dynasty. Although he has unlimited scenery, he also feels lonely at the same time.

After staring at Cao Wei seriously, Lan Yu stopped talking, said goodbye to Cao Wei, left the manufacturing bureau with the telescope, entered the palace all the way, and arrived at the entrance of Nuan Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Lan Yu, would like to see you."

After two breaths, a majestic voice came from inside.

"come in."

Lan Yu entered the Nuan Pavilion and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the memorial. He raised his head and said no courtesy. He saw the telescope in Lan Yu's hand and asked.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Zhu Yuanzhang has never been very polite to Lan Yu, because he knows that Lan Yu is a strong player and needs to be beaten all the time.

"Your Majesty, this is a telescope. It was developed by Cao Wei of the Manufacturing Bureau. I will bring it to your Majesty for inspection."

When he heard that Cao Wei had made it, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Send it up, let's take a look."

This kid Cao Wei can always come up with some weird but useful things.

The chief eunuch stepped forward, took the telescope, turned over and handed it into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

"What is the use of this telescope?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down at the telescope in his hand and asked.

"Your Majesty just needs to put it in front of your eyes, and you can see the scene several miles away as if it is right in front of you." Lan Yu answered honestly.

"A few miles away?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, stood up and went to the window, opened it, put the telescope in front of his eyes, and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, he saw the soldiers standing guard on the top of the city in the distance of the imperial city, and he could see the soldiers' faces clearly!
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, "This is comparable to clairvoyance."

Lan Yu cupped his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this telescope is of great use. If it is used on the battlefield, it can play a huge role."

It was also the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw such a novel thing as a telescope, and he kept looking outside.

After a while, he put away the telescope and returned to his seat to sit down.

Lan Yu's words just now, his intention is very obvious, he just wants this telescope.

Zhu Yuanzhang can give the telescope to Lan Yu. After all, Lan Yu is telling the truth. In the hands of ordinary people, this telescope is just a novel gadget at best, but in the hands of Lan Yu, it can play a huge role.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the memorial on his desk and asked the eunuch chief to hand it to Lan Yu.

"have a look."

Lan Yu took the memorial and looked down.

As mentioned above: "The Northern Yuan general Bolin Timur led a group of Northern Yuan soldiers to gather outside the border of the Ming Dynasty, staring covetously, with the intention of invading the border..."

Lan Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and an evil aura emitted. "These Beiyuan barbarians are dishonest again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a heavy expression on his face, "If these Northern Yuan thieves are not eliminated, our Ming border will never have peace."

"If you want this telescope, we can give it to you, but you have to destroy Beiyuan!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was full of murderous intent!
Ming Dynasty and Bei Yuan have been entangled for too many years. Now Zhu Yuanzhang is old. He can't wait any longer. He must completely eradicate Bei Yuan, Ming's mortal enemy, while he is still alive!
Only in this way can he safely hand over Ming Dynasty to Cao Ying's hands.

"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Lan Yu responded to Zhu Yuanzhang with a sonorous voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Take this telescope. In one month, we will issue an order to send troops to the Northern Expedition. You should be prepared."

Lan Yu bowed her hands respectfully again.

"Okay, you go down." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Lan Yu was about to leave, but she seemed to have thought of something, "Your Majesty, I have something that I want to talk about. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Say."

"Wei Chen was chatting with Cao Wei in the manufacturing bureau today, and found out that he has good military qualities. If he can be brought to the battlefield and sharpened a little, he will definitely become an excellent general and expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Cao Wei still knows how to fight?

"Tell me in detail."

Lan Yu responded, and then roughly repeated what Cao Wei said when he and Cao Wei were talking.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was silent for a long time. He really didn't expect that Cao Wei still had talents in this area.

I originally thought that Cao Wei could build trains, make steel, develop salt-making techniques, and come up with good strategies for two countries, which was already unmatched by ordinary people. However, Jin Ri was told by Lan Yu that this kid was also a military wizard!
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a feeling in his heart.

It would be great if Cao Wei was his son...

"We understand, you go ahead." Zhu Yuanzhang said after pondering for a moment.

This time Lan Yu did not delay, took the telescope handed over by the head eunuch, turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to think about how to arrange an official position for Cao Wei so that he could serve the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone thought that Cao Wei was terminally ill and did not have much time left. Zhu Yuanzhang also considered this and allowed Cao Wei to refuse official duties and return home.

Now that it was found out that Cao Wei was not sick at all, Zhu Yuanzhang once again had the idea of ​​​​letting Cao Wei enter the court as an official.

Cao Wei is too talented, so there is no need to be too pity and use the natural resources!
In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about what position to arrange for Cao Wei in the court.

It is true that Cao Wei is talented, but he has no qualifications and no fame. If he is allowed to go to court rashly, he will definitely arouse criticism.

Lan Yu's words just now made Zhu Yuanzhang see in another direction.

Let Cao Wei join the army. As long as he can make a few achievements, he can firmly stand on his feet!

Judging from Lan Yu's attitude just now, he has no ill intentions towards Cao Wei, and Zhu Yuanzhang can do so with confidence.

In fact, Lan Yu first went to the manufacturing bureau to ask Cao Wei to help him make weapons, and Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news from Jin Yiwei.

Unexpectedly, after a short period of time, Lan Yu, instead of being hostile to Cao Wei, actually spoke up for him.

This kid Cao Wei seems to have a kind of magic power about him. He seems to be casual and careless, but people can see his innocent heart.

Joining the army... is the way to go.

But, with Cao Wei's undisciplined temperament, would he be willing?
……

Days go by.

Time to March.

The weather is starting to get warmer, and although the change is subtle, it can still be felt.

As the weather gets warmer, the Japanese pirates in Japan begin to become restless again.

In just ten days, four or five waves of Japanese pirates invaded coastal areas.

Perhaps because they had suffered some hardships in Fujian, the Japanese pirates thought they were smart and changed their targets and launched an attack at night into the more prosperous Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

But the naval headquarters of the Ming Dynasty was in Hangzhou at this time, and no matter how many Japanese pirates there were, they would never come back!

After wiping out the invading Japanese pirates many times, people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty began to praise His Majesty the Emperor for his decision to open the sea. For a time, people praised him.

Zhu Yuanzhang also began to feel itchy.

Cao Wei once said that the grain yielding one thousand kilograms per mu is overseas. Now that the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea, why not send people to search for it?
If he could successfully bring those grains that produced thousands of kilograms per mu back to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would not even dare to imagine what kind of prosperous age it would be!
Finally, after the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang sent another memorial to annihilate the Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang began to make preparations and sent people to sea to find those grains that produced thousands of kilograms per mu.

There was a lot of noise about Zhu Yuanzhang preparing to send people to sea, and the whole of Yingtian knew that His Majesty the Emperor was going to make a big move.

Cao Wei was naturally no exception. When he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to send a ship out to sea in search of high-yield grain, he took the initiative to come to the palace to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

As soon as the weather got warmer, Zhu Yuanzhang moved from the Nuan Pavilion back to the Imperial Study Room.

It is true that the Nuange is warm, but the warmth can also make people drowsy, especially the old Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cao Wei standing in front of him and asked aloud:

"Tell me, why did you come to see us?"

For more than half a month, after developing the salt-making technology and the telescope, Cao Wei kept away from Zhu Yuanzhang in order to avoid trouble, fearing that he would arrange any more work for him.

At this time, hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning words, Cao Wei could only grin to cover up his embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the common people are here to recommend someone to Your Majesty."

"Now His Majesty wants to send a ship out to sea to find high-yielding crops. This person is the best choice. Sending him out to sea will get twice the result with half the effort!"

When Cao Wei said this, Zhu Yuanzhang became really curious.

"Oh? Who?"

"Ma He." Cao Wei said.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused, "Ma He? Who is Ma He?"
