Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 101 101: Concubine Zhou: The child is really only four years old?
  Although the marching rations were a bit difficult to eat, Zhu Xifeng still finished the piece of cake in his hand!
  Geng Qing originally thought he would throw it away directly, but he couldn't help but look at Zhu Xifeng again!
  He really deserves to be a child who grew up on the grassland, but he is not so pampered!

"You try this again!"

Seeing this, Geng Qing took out a few soft caramels wrapped in paper shells from his arms!
  This is also a special delicacy unique to Hanzhong, and children love to eat it!

"This is caramel! Every time my second uncle came back, he would bring it back!"

Zhu Xifeng still had some knowledge, and he immediately recognized what Geng Qing took out!
  Soon, Zhu Xifeng and Geng Qing became friends!
  Zhu Yue watched from the side with a smile on his face.

a few days later.

Zhu Yue's family of three, together with Geng Qing and five hundred other guards, finally arrived at Tianshui Pass!
  They left the cattle and sheep at Tianshui Pass and arranged for others to be sent back to Hanzhong. Zhu Yue packed up lightly and led everyone back to Hanzhong Mansion all night long!

When Zhu Li led Saijia Sutushan and Zhu Xifeng into Hanzhong City, the mother and son became nervous instinctively!

After all, their identities are there!
  One is a prairie woman, and the other is an illegitimate child who has not yet been officially recognized!
  They also heard from Zhu Yue that Concubine Zhou was also in Hanzhong. Now the Han Palace still has Cao, the main concubine, and Li, the side concubine!
  Saijia Sutushan is worried about Zhu Li's biological mother, Concubine Zhou, and whether the Cao family and the Li family can accept her existence!

The same is true for Zhu Xifeng, and more importantly, he also has two younger brothers!
  One of them is still a prince!
  Although Zhu Xifeng is only four years old, he also knows what the concept of a crown prince is, and he will inherit his father's title of King of Han in the future!
  However, when the family of three returned to the gate of Prince Han's Mansion, they found that Concubine Zhou had already greeted them at the door with Cao and Li!
  In fact, Zhu Yue had already sent a fast horse back to inform!
  Including the battle with the Zhungeer tribe and the night with Saijia Sutushan, Zhu Yue had already sent letters to inform Concubine Zhou.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang announced to the world that the marriage between Han King Zhu Yue and the Zhungeer tribe has also reached Hanzhong Mansion!
  At the beginning, Concubine Zhou and Mrs. Cao were still a little shocked!

No one expected that His Majesty would let Zhu Li marry another foreign woman as a concubine!

After Zhu Li's letter was sent back, Concubine Zhou and the others understood the reason!
  Although Concubine Zhou felt it was a bit ridiculous that she suddenly had such a grandson, she was still very surprised in her heart!
  After all, this is his own grandson!

As for Mr. Cao's original character of not fighting or grabbing, Ms. Li had just married her not long ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered the marriage, so no one dared to have any objections!
  They also accepted the fact that Zhu Li added another sister to them!

"Daughter-in-law, I have met my mother-in-law and my two sisters!"

After Saijia Sutushan dismounted, she saluted Concubine Zhou and the two princesses first. Although she was about to join the Han Palace, in the end, she was a latecomer, so it was a mistake to act low-key and be prepared!

"Zhu Xifeng has met his grandmother, his concubine and his aunt!"

Zhu Xifeng also addressed Concubine Zhou and Cao according to Zhu Yue's previous instructions.

A child born from a concubine must recognize his legitimate mother, that is, the royal concubine!
  According to the rules, Saijia Sutushan, his biological mother, can only be called aunt in the future. However, this is the palace of the Han Dynasty. Zhu Yue does not care about this. From now on, Zhu Xifeng can call her whatever he wants!

"Good boy, get up!"

Concubine Zhou looked at Zhu Xifeng in front of her with a smile. She definitely couldn't say anything about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as Saijia Sutushan, but this child was her biological grandson!

But after seeing Zhu Xifeng, both Zhou Guifei and the Cao family had an unbelievable feeling!

Is this child... really only four years old?

But for things like this, both Zhu Yue himself and Zhu Yuanzhang must be very cautious, and there is absolutely no way they can make a mistake!
  Who would recognize his son and grandson without any problem?
  Although there were doubts in their hearts, Concubine Zhou and the others did not really doubt Zhu Xifeng's identity, they just felt that this child was really 'too anxious'!
  The attitudes of Concubine Zhou and Mrs. Cao also made both Saijia Sutushan and her son heave a sigh of relief.

The worried situation did not happen. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. On the contrary, Saiga Sutushan felt flattered!

After returning to the Han Palace, there was a family dinner.

After the family banquet, Zhu Li arranged a place for both mother and son to live. It was a small independent courtyard in the palace, which was relatively quiet!

Zhu Yue also knew that Saijia Sutushan was a prairie woman and was used to being quiet!
  However, Zhu Yue also put some thought into Zhu Xia Feng's side, and specially arranged several accompanying school captains and maids to take care of Zhu Xia Feng's daily life!

Zhu Xiafeng is definitely special. He is also the oldest among Zhu Yue's three sons and the only one who can become independent!

And Zhu Yue knows very well that with this kid's character, he must be a restless master, and he will definitely run around!
  Therefore, having a personal captain by your side is a must!

However, Zhu Xiaqiu, who was originally the eldest son, directly became his younger brother because of Zhu Xiafeng's appearance!

Although he is the eldest son, according to his age, Zhu Xiaqiu still has to call Zhu Xiafeng, who is a concubine, his eldest brother!
  However, looking at his elder brother who was much taller and stronger than him, Zhu Xiaqiu still felt a little uncomfortable and even a little scared!
  But there is always time for them to adapt!
  Zhu Li is also very optimistic about this!
  ……

Ying Tianfu.

After this period of time, the matter of the marriage between King Zhu Yue of Han and the Zhungeer tribe has almost matured!

The most important thing is that there is news in the palace that there is a royal orphan in the grassland!
  In this way, it makes sense that the emperor suddenly wants to marry the Zhungeer tribe!

Otherwise, they would not be able to figure out why the good Ming Dynasty would marry the inconspicuous Zhungeer tribe!

It turned out to be Zhu Yue, the king of Han Dynasty, who left an illegitimate son in the Zhungeer tribe!
  But they didn't dare to mention the word illegitimate child in front of Zhu Yuanzhang!

In addition, there was also the matter of canonizing brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi, which shared the attention of many ministers, so the sensation caused by this matter did not get out of control!

Compared with the fact that King Zhu Li of Han had an illegitimate son in the grassland, the fact that two emperors and grandsons were crowned kings at the same time obviously made these courtiers more concerned!
  After all, according to logic, after Zhu Biao, the next generation of princes must come from the two brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi! Although it is said that he is the legitimate son, Zhu Yunxi is the real legitimate son. Zhu Yunwen, the legitimate son, is the one who was pushed forward legally. After all, Lu is the second crown princess!
  So Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are on the same starting line in terms of status!
  The only difference is that behind Zhu Yunxi there is a connection with the powerful military general Xungui Group!
  But the civil servant group generally supports Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, to inherit the throne!

The main reason is that Zhu Yunxi is too unsatisfactory, and his performance in all aspects is not even a bit worse than Zhu Yunwen!
  Therefore, most people also believe that Zhu Yunwen is the future successor of Zhu Biao!

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang conferred the title of king on these two grandsons at the same time, which made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty confused!
  It's not that you can't give these two grandsons the title of king, but I just feel a little too anxious!
  If we say that the emperor's grandson is first appointed and then another king is given, it will not be so abrupt and it will lead to people's imagination!

Now that the two grandsons have become princes, it depends on which grandson becomes the first to become a vassal!

Just the one from the vassal clan has no chance of being crowned emperor in this life!

In other words, originally both of them were grandsons of the emperor, and everyone thought that Zhu Yunwen would be the future prince. But after both of them became princes, other possibilities began to appear for this option!
  Inside Fengtian Temple.

"Dad, it seems that Lao Jiu's matter has been suppressed."

When Zhu Biao mentioned this matter, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief!
  He also had to admire the old man's method. He actually diverted the attention of the civil and military officials of the dynasty by conferring kingships on Zhu Yunzhen and others!
  Not to mention, the effect is surprisingly good!

"According to Lao Jiu's temperament, after seeing the letter, he should have run to the Zhungeer Department as soon as possible and brought the mother and son back, right?"

"Calculating the time, if he moves fast enough, he might have brought everyone back to Hanzhong by this time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a smile on his face!
  "For the mother and son, this should be considered a blessing after all!"

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head noncommittally. What he cared about was not that all the hardships would come to an end, but that the most serious problem in the unified grassland in the future would no longer exist!

From now on, this genius of the grassland will be a descendant of his old Zhu family, and will also become the sharpest sword in the Ming Dynasty!

Everything is developing in the best direction, and Zhu Yuanzhang is in a particularly good mood!

"By the way, what's going on with that batch of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

Whether it is potatoes, corn or sweet potatoes, all kinds of latest food varieties have flowed into the south from the northwest!

After all, even if Zhu Yue wants to hide this kind of food, he can't hide it!
  So it is better to just promote it directly. Zhu Yue has no control at all in this aspect. Instead, he actively helped the court to promote planting nationwide. This made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied!
  In this way, it can be regarded as a solution to the problem of food in the Ming Dynasty. At least it can reduce many situations where people would starve to death in the past!
  "The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has arranged for special farmers to conduct experimental planting. I believe it will be fully promoted throughout Jiangnan within a year or two!"

"Ordinary people are still resistant to these crops they have never seen before!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he sighed helplessly.

The common people have the simplest ideas and have poor ability to accept new and unknown things, let alone the food that is related to their survival!
  They can at least have hope by growing the food they are familiar with, but when it comes to something they are completely unfamiliar with, it is equivalent to making a huge gamble!
  The Ministry of Revenue still promised some benefits and exempted farmers who were willing to grow new types of food from taxes for one year, so some people dared to start planting!
  "It doesn't matter, it won't take long anyway. After everyone sees the yield of these grains, everyone will rush to plant them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this, it was just a matter of time now!
  These high-yield crops will be promoted throughout the Ming Dynasty sooner or later!

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang knew the terrifying yields of these crops through the national fortune and auspiciousness, and now even Zhu Biao knows it!
  But there are some things that they cannot say to the outside world, they can only directly order the people below to plant them!

Fortunately, the Ministry of Revenue is aware of the grain output in Hanzhong. The Ministry of Revenue also attaches great importance to these new types of grains, but it does not give Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao too much headache!

"We have finally let go of a worry that we had on our minds!"

"Biao'er, let me know tomorrow and tell you that we are going to patrol the west in the early spring of the [-]th year of Hongwu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and gave instructions to Zhu Biao.

He wanted to finalize the matter of going to the Western Tour first!
  Next spring, he will go directly to Hanzhong. He also wants to meet his grandson who was once left behind on the grassland as soon as possible!
  Twenty-five years after Hongwu, this boy was already five years old, and it seemed that he was just old enough to come to Yingtian Mansion to study!
  That kid Lao Jiu will definitely cause some trouble again!
  He knew from Zhu Xiaqiu's simulator that among Lao Jiu's sons, only Zhu Xiaqiu seemed to have come to Yingtian Mansion to study. Because he often caused trouble, he was later sent back to Hanzhong early to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival thirty years after Hongwu. Got it!
  Then Lao Jiu used various reasons to keep Zhu Xiaqian in Hanzhong for more than a year. This lasted until the [-]st year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang also passed away, and Zhu Xiaqian also completely stayed in Hanzhong!

Really played a good hand!

But thinking about it this way, the lineup of Lao Jiu's family can be said to be luxurious!
  The crown prince Zhu Xiaqiu, Wen Neng stabilized the country, Zhu Xiaqian was an unparalleled handsome man, and there was Yegorut, the peerless genius of the grassland!
  Perhaps the only one who can compare with Lao Jiu's family is Lao Si's family!
  From Zhu Yunwen's simulator and Zhu Xiaqiu's simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw to some extent the performance of the three sons of the fourth son Zhu Di!

Although the third child is unsatisfactory, the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi and the second child Zhu Gaoxu are also good at both writing and martial arts.

"Dad, do you plan to go to Hanzhong next spring?"

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this.

Counting time, there are only a few months left!

Originally it was supposed to be him who was going to the Western Tour, but unexpectedly it turned out to be an old man!
  But there are some things that I’m afraid I can only do if the old man talks to Lao Jiu in person!
