Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 39 The king’s grace makes him invincible in the world!

"But……"

"Don't even think about it, I have my own ideas, no need to say more!"

After Zhu Tuo witnessed the horror of the Lingnan army, he led several tribal leaders and went to a field in the suburbs under a group of escorts.

To be honest, a trip to the farm would not attract the attention of these chief toasts.

Zhang Wei, the chief historian, said slowly: "The grain produced by the land here is at least [-]-[-]% more than that of ordinary cultivated land, and can produce three kilograms a year."

"Three stones..."

Everyone in the audience exclaimed. Everyone looked in disbelief. They stared at Zhang Wei in disbelief, as if to say: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?" Really? The output is so high? "

Zhu Tuo laughed and said, "These are all my masterpieces. I personally planted a handful of rice and invented a new planting method. How about it?"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty!"

"Your Majesty is as good as Yao, Shun, and Yu!"

“Beyond Yao, Shun, and Yu, and surpass Yan and Huang.

Zhu Tuo was even happier after being praised, and looked very comfortable.

Zhang Wei continued: "According to our Emperor's investigation, the yield of rice depends on the following factors. First, whether the rice grains are full or not. Although dead rice can also germinate, it is obviously not as good as mature rice. Secondly, It's just watering."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei pointed to a two-foot-square ravine on the north side of the field and said in a deep voice: "I have built a large number of ravines in the south and dozens of large reservoirs. Once there is a drought, we can Water is diverted from here to water crops.”

"The most important thing is that our king has found a way to transform the saline-alkali land into fertile farmland!"

“Can saline-alkali land also become fertile farmland?”

Several leaders were startled.

The so-called salty soil is a piece of barren land. Because the soil contains a large amount of salt, it is not suitable for planting.

Such fields are very common in the Lingnan area. The Lingnan area used to be a desolate place, full of barren land, barren land everywhere, and there was no way to grow crops.

Because of this, although Jiaozhi and Nanhai are vast and sparsely populated, they still do not have enough food.

Zhu Tuo said proudly: "I, Wang Xueguan, found a refining method from an ancient classic, called the 'salt washing technique'. If anyone is interested, I will send someone to create a fertile soil for everyone. "

"Then trouble Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, all the chieftains were overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to Zhu Tuo one after another.

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Tuo waved his hand indifferently: "Besides, I think your writing and language are very rough. If I look at you, what kind of business can you do in the future? That won't work. I'm going to give every toast a ten A master, I will teach you the Ming Dynasty dialect."

"Then trouble Your Majesty!"

Zhu Tuo chuckled and asked mysteriously: "Have you ever seen one acre and ten kilograms of rice?"

"Ten dollars?"

Everyone was stunned.

A pound or three ounces of rice shocked them. Is there actually a pound or ten pounds of rice in this world?

Xu Da was even more surprised. As the number one founding father of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally understood the status of food and grass in the hearts of the people.

Without food, there is no food. Without food, we have no food!
But I heard Zhu Tuo say that there is a kind of grain here that can produce ten kilograms per mu. This is simply appalling!
Zhu Tuo laughed: "Come on, let me see your strength!"

At noon that day, Zhu Tuo left Lingnan City with several chieftains and headed for the sweet potato fields in the south.

Zhu Tuo calculated the time and found that it had been almost three months.

Zhu Tuo's favorite thing is to eat sweet potatoes.Lu Qing was sitting in the carriage with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, you have gone through so much trouble to come up with this method. If you teach them, wouldn't it make us in Lingnan suffer?"

But Zhu Tuo shook his head: "Lu Qing, your vision is really narrow, unlike mine, you have stars and seas in your heart! If you deal with those chieftains, if you just want to please them, it will only make them proud, not Mere intimidation.”

"The most important thing is to use kindness and power at the same time. Use strong force to intimidate them, and use gentleness to make them desire. Only after those chieftains put on Han clothes and learn Han customs will they be considered true Han people."

"This time, I have nothing to lose!"

"Yes, yes, the king will never suffer a loss." Lu Qing rolled his eyes and looked at Zhu Tuo.

The car drove all the way to the south, and soon came to the hot spring in the sweet potato field.

Zhu Tuo asked people to build a greenhouse with glass windows so that the sweet potatoes could jump around.Looking from a distance, through the transparent glass windows, it looks like a colorful lake, which amazes everyone.

In the greenhouse, Zhang Cheng played with sweet potatoes every day and recorded various information in detail.

He began to try various fertilization and adjust the soil moisture to increase the yield of sweet potatoes.

The good thing about Zhang Cheng is that his relationship with Zhu Tuo is not good, and he will not make a big deal out of it.

Maybe it's because of his love for agriculture.

Perhaps it was Zhu Tuo who threatened the lives of the people who appeased the chieftain.

He will no longer rely on previous experiences, he will continue to do it, and continue to do it, to turn the things he has recorded into his own precious experiences, thereby laying his own foundation.

Zhu Tuo happily led the crowd towards the greenhouse.

As soon as they entered the greenhouse, everyone felt warm all over and looked around.

Zhu Tuo saw Zhang Cheng's surprised eyes and said bitterly: "You wait for me, or I will kill the people in Xuanwei Mansion!"

Zhang Cheng turned his head away abruptly.

The leaders all looked strange. They stared at the roots and leaves of the sweet potato. One of them said: "Your Majesty, is this the strange grain you are talking about?"

"Yes!" Zhu Tuo also nodded.

The leader bent down and examined it carefully.

Zhang Cheng looked at the chieftain and suddenly said, "Are you the chieftain of Jiujiang?"

"Yes, you know who I am?"

"I'm here to comfort you." Zhang Cheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect to meet acquaintances here. Looking at the others, he suddenly realized that there were more than ten people brought by Zhu Tuo. A bandit leader.

He has dealt with these chieftains, and he clearly knows that they are all honest and honest, and have never done anything like robbery or robbery.

But now, here he is.

Zhang Cheng looked ugly and shouted: "Wang, do you still want an honest bandit to live?"

Zhu Tuo turned around and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and get busy, otherwise I will kill everyone in Xuanfu Mansion."

Zhang Cheng muttered and continued to work hard.

Zhu Tuo squatted down, dug up a piece of sweet potato with both hands, and said in surprise: "The sweet potato is ripe and ready to be harvested. Go pick it quickly!"

Following Zhu Tuo's order, dozens of guards went to dig sweet potatoes together. These sweet potatoes were as big as a person's hand and were very heavy to hold in their hands.

When several leaders saw these fresh crops, they all looked curious and picked up pieces of sweet potatoes, looking at them with gusto.
