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

Chapter 73: My son Zhu Tuo is a wise king!
thump.

"Yes, yes, my son Zhu Tuo is a qualified king!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said loudly: "Whatever your wish is, I will fulfill it for you today!"

"Ah?" Zhu Tuo was startled and said doubtfully: "Father, are you sure?"

"Fart, I promise you a thousand pieces of gold!"

Zhu Tuo cleared his throat and said loudly: "What I want most now is for my father to give me these three treasures and let me be his personal guard."

"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and looked at Eunuch Sanbao suspiciously. He saw his handsome face and handsome appearance, but an evil thought arose in his heart, and he scolded: "Little devil, why is your mind so dirty?"

Zhu Tuo saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were wrong and said quickly: "Father, I think he is smart and will do something great in the future, so I came to my father to ask for this person."

"Oh, really?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized, turned to Eunuch Sanbao and said: "Are you willing to follow King Su?"

Eunuch Sanbao didn't expect that Zhu Tuo would keep his word, so he immediately asked him over and said excitedly: "I promise you!"

"Okay, you will be King Su's man from now on." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, his eyes fell on Zhu Tuo.

Zhu Tuo pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Father, could you please talk to Duke Xin and let me and Xin'er get engaged as soon as possible. To be honest, I am not a child anymore, so there is no point in going through this trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, thinking that this guy was really thinking about some messy things, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll go tell Tang He about you and Tang Xin."

"What else do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little ugly after being punished by Zhu Tuo.

Zhu Tuo thought for a while and said flatteringly: "Father, I really have no interest in staying in Kyoto. How about letting me go back to Lingnan? The people in Lingnan are desolate, ragged, hungry and cold, and they still want me to take care of them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up and cursed: "You don't mind fooling others with your words, but you actually dare to fool me. How could I not be clear about your affairs in Lingnan?"

Zhu Tuo sighed, "But I have been in the capital for a long time, and there is nothing interesting."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have asked you to go to the Imperial College for some time. How is your studies?"

Zhu Tuo said: "Father, the Emperor Mingjian, the Imperial College is full of scholars.

The disciple can refute these proctors severely.In my eyes, no one in the Imperial College can guide me. "

"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "So, tell me, what have you read recently?"

Zhu Tuo hesitated for a moment before replying: "I've been watching "Spring and Autumn" recently."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Tell me."

"This." Zhu Tuo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third year of Duke Zhuang, spring, February.

Fa Wei, Xia Si...

Having said that, he was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed and he asked: "What are you talking about?"

Zhu Tuo didn't blush and said calmly: "I have been preparing for coal these days and worry endlessly.

This delays my studies. "

"Hmph." Ye Futian shouted coldly.Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to Zhu Tuo's nonsense. He flicked his sleeves and cursed: "You can't consider returning to Lingnan until you have memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics!"

"Xu Aiqing, look, this piece of coal is much better than burning charcoal." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da.

Xu Da stared at the firewood for a long time. The flame of the firewood turned out to be a colorless and odorless flame. Moreover, the firewood was extremely tolerant. After more than an hour, only half of the charcoal was burned. .

"Your Majesty, why is this coal different from ordinary coal?" Xu Da said in confusion. "Haha, this is used to wash coal!" Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully: "These are made of low-quality coal. After a few simple processes, the dirt can be washed away without harming people."

"Really?" Xu Da couldn't help but look at it more.

"Zhu Tuo just brought it to me. This is a kind of purified water he invented."

Hearing this, Xu Da smiled slightly: "King Su is indeed a talent. He can even refine this kind of wood. With this batch of wood, people outside will be safe."

"Well, my heart aches when I think of those people. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said.

Xu Da smiled and said: "This is all the work of Prince Su. Your Majesty, how many taels can you produce this year?"

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled Zhu Tuo's previous words and added: "Next to our Yingtian Mansion, there is Qinglong Mountain. Qinglong Mountain is a mining area. Mining is very simple. More than 1 kilograms of ore can be mined every day. question."

This is one hundred thousand tons of coal, enough to support the life of the entire Yingtian Mansion.

Xu Da said: "Your Majesty, if you lack helpers, then the refugees outside will do.

They have reached the point of poverty, and relying solely on Yingtian Mansion's relief will not make any difference at all.

We hire them, make them miners, and pay them. "

"That's a waste of people and money!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said: "Xu Aiqing, that guy Zhu Tuo has so many ideas in his mind. He can also think of using this kind of water-washed coal."

Xu Da said: "That's because Prince Su is wise."

"Hmph." Ye Futian snorted coldly.Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves and said with emotion: "But the biggest problem with this kid is that he is ignorant and incompetent. He was sent to the Imperial College for several days, but he still went crazy and took in a disciple, causing the Imperial College to be in chaos." A pot of porridge.”

Xu Da advised: "I have also heard about it. I only know that Fang Xiaoru lost his mind because of his argument with King Su. From this point of view, this King Su's knowledge is indeed extraordinary."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Only you would think so!"

"My wisdom is unique!" As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Tuo grinned and said, "Lu Qing, don't you understand, my father's eyes widened as soon as he saw this charcoal, which made me dumbfounded! "

Lu Qing had long been accustomed to this. He responded calmly and looked at the person next to Zhu Tuo, "Your Majesty, why did you bring a young father-in-law here?"

"Oh, I thought he was quite smart, so I took him home."

Zhu Tuo turned his head and slapped Eunuch Sanbao on the shoulder, "From now on, you must not serve as a servant in Prince Su's Mansion. I will help you find a classic book about the ocean. You can read it." look."

Eunuch Sanbao said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Tuo touched his cheek and couldn't help but said: "Three treasures, three treasures"

Your name is too vulgar. How about I change your name? "

Eunuch Sanbao looked confused. Didn't he say in the palace before that his name was very nice?
As soon as I heard his name, I wanted to be his brother.

However, how long has passed, King Su has to change his name again.

But Eunuch Sanbao didn't dare to say more, he just said: "Everything is decided by Prince Su."

"Yes." Zhu Tuo clapped his hands and said loudly: "I think you are handsome, talented and intelligent. How about you name me Zheng He? Do you think this name is good?"

"what?"

Eunuch Sanbao was startled again.

He is so smart, so smart, how can he be called Zheng He?

Are these two things related?
