Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"Is Biaoer back?"

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just had some anger on his face, suddenly became happy.

At the same time, the idea of ​​issuing an order to let Longjiang Baochuan Factory work at full capacity to build ships was temporarily suppressed.

This is not to say that Zhu Yuanzhang thought that his son Biao would be able to bring him good news after returning.

You can solve the problem that you are worried about.

Rather, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy to hear that his eldest son had returned.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been like this regarding his family emblem.

He really took great care in nurturing this son and put his whole heart into him.

Moreover, this time when Biaoer went to Shuangshui Village, it was just as he had imagined.

The edict written last time, which conferred the title of Shuangshui Earl on Mei Yin, was used.

Under such circumstances, it is very necessary for me to ask Biaoer indirectly about the situation he encountered over there.

Look at how Mei Yin reacted after Biaoer turned him into Shuangshui Bo.

I think this bastard will be very happy...

……

After Zhu Biao came back, he did not go anywhere else.

Let the Crown Princess Chang take Zhu Xiongying back to Chunhe Palace together.

He carried a basket of sweet potatoes and a jar and went straight to the Wuying Palace to meet his father.

Zhu Biao was very clear that he could not hide what he had done this time from his father.

I'm afraid my father already knows.

Under such circumstances, he must report it to his father as soon as possible.

Although I was carrying the imperial edict written by my father to do this, it was my mother who asked me to go.

This also has the tacit approval of my father.

But the right attitude is still there.

After I finish my work, I must come here and explain things clearly as soon as possible.

……

"My son, I have met my father and wish him well."

After Zhu Biao arrived at the Wuying Hall, he put down what he was holding and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang to greet him.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Biao, come here. Why do we need these polite words?
When there are outsiders around, just fool them.

There is no need for us to do this since we are the only two here."

As Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he greeted Zhu Biao warmly and asked him to come to his side.

At the same time, he also brought the basket of sweet potatoes and the jar?
"Biao'er, Mei Yin is digging sweet potatoes again?
This wasteful thing!

Don’t you know how precious sweet potatoes are now? If you eat one, you will have no idea how many sweet potatoes you will have left in the future!

This wasteful thing!
I've never seen him be such a spendthrift!

For this sweet potato, just use a little less to taste it.

But he actually started eating it as a meal!
Damn it, I really want to beat him up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed.

Looking at this sweet potato, I feel particularly sad.

He had imagined more than once what it would be like if sweet potatoes were planted on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

I can't wait.

I just want to solve this problem in one go.

Who would have thought that he was thinking about it so much.

As a result, a lot of sweet potatoes were eaten by that bastard Mei Yin!
Even if these sweet potatoes were grown by Mei Yin, you can't do this!

Now, it’s not even to the point of eating sweet potatoes on a large scale!

If you want to eat more sweet potatoes, you have to wait at least a few years.

Hearing his father's words, Zhu Biao quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "Father, my second brother-in-law has a lot more.

Moreover, my second brother-in-law also said that sweet potatoes are not suitable for preservation.

Moreover, the speed of expanding sweet potato planting is particularly fast.

It's not that much.

Now, the sweet potato is still a new thing, and he wants his father and mother to taste it more, which is his way of thinking.

That is to say, some was dug out for my father and mother, and the rest are all treasured!
Even my second brother-in-law himself couldn’t bear to eat it.”

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile.

His voice was full of sincerity, speaking for Mei Yin here.

As he said this, his mind couldn't help but emerge of last night when they were having a barbecue together and later put the sweet potatoes on the grill.

The baked sweet potatoes are so sweet and delicious!
Of course, Zhu Biao would not say these.

He simply ignored it.

"Father, my second brother-in-law and my second sister really have Father and Mother in their hearts."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice when he heard this and didn't say much about it.

It seems that he is a little angry.

But Zhu Biao could feel that his father was in a good mood.

"Okay, you can keep the sweet potatoes, but tell him not to waste these good things anymore!

Instead of spending this much time on this, it would be better to study how to preserve sweet potatoes.

It would be appropriate to carry out large-scale planting next year.

"Yes, I will definitely tell my second brother-in-law what I have said next time I meet him.

Even if my second sister and the others wanted to give it to you, Father and Mother, I would not allow it!"

Zhu Biao said seriously and solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and scolding when he heard this: "Biao'er, just protect him well!

After he finished speaking, he pointed to another jar and said, "Biao'er, what's in this?"

Zhu Biao said: "My second sister's family grows a lot of vegetables and can't eat them all.

My second sister pickled some and asked us to bring back a few jars to try.

This jar is for you, Father and Mother."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately lit up. He took the jar, opened it, took out two pickled beans directly from it, put them in his mouth and started eating them with a crunch.

"Hmm! It tastes good! She is indeed our daughter. She is so considerate!

Know what his father likes to eat! "

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he ate the juice on his fingers.

Nothing is wasted.

"This pickle is good. Your sister is thoughtful."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised it highly.

"Um... Father, my second sister only brought out this jar of food after my second brother-in-law reminded her."

Zhu Biao said in a low voice.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression froze slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at his eldest son.

This guy, is he specifically here to destroy his own stage?
"This dish was specially pickled by your second sister and our daughter. It has nothing to do with that bastard!"

Seeing his father being so stubborn, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile to himself.

I feel that my father is particularly interesting at this time.

Then he spoke again: "Father, um... I have one more thing to report."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart what his boss wanted to say to him.

This must be the matter of going to Shuangshui Village this time to confer the title of Shuangshui Earl on that bastard Mei Yin.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang could not point this out and had to pretend not to know.

So wait a while before talking.

Apart from this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think he was anything significant, so what else could he say?

"Father, this time when we went to visit my second brother-in-law, my fourth brother also went.

While chatting there, we realized a very serious problem through Lao Si.

That is our Ming Dynasty. If we want to open up the sea, set up a Maritime Customs Office, and make money from abroad, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

It can be said that there are many difficulties.

Those pirates outside are a very tricky problem.

It’s not easy to solve it…”

As Zhu Biao spoke, he told Zhu Yuanzhang everything they knew and the corresponding difficulties.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Biao say this, he was stunned for a moment.

It seemed very unexpected.

Obviously, he didn't expect that this was what his family leader said, and it was not about giving Mei Yinfeng the title of Shuangshui Earl.

This...the eldest and the fourth brother in my family have indeed thought a lot and considered it very comprehensively.

My son has indeed grown up.

I can share the worries of being a father.

I just realized this problem, but the fourth brother and the others have also considered it...

"Then... have you come up with any good solutions to this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked.

Although he felt that his family members, Biao'er and Lao Si, probably didn't have any good solutions.

But that didn't stop him from asking.

What if they really have a way to give a surprise?

Isn’t that making money?

But Zhu Biao said, "My fourth brother and I don't have any ideas.

All I have in mind is to let the Ming Dynasty immediately strengthen the training of the navy and build large ships as soon as possible in the future.

From now on, we will deal with all the pirates outside..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised to hear Zhu Biao say this.

Sure enough, this matter is no different from what I thought.

No miracle happened...

Faced with this kind of situation, the only solution is to slowly build ships to solve it.

As I was thinking this, I heard Zhu Biao's voice again.

"However, my second brother-in-law gave me a particularly good idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that what Biaoer had just said was that he and Lao Si had no good solution.

There is no mention of this guy Mei Yin here.

At this time, it seems reasonable to say that Mei Yin has a solution...

"What good ideas can that bastard come up with?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious in his heart.

And full of expectations.

I really hope Mei Yin can give me a particularly good idea.

Solve this problem.

But no matter what he was thinking in his heart, when he said it out loud, the meaning of his words changed.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao seemed a little excited and said, "Father, my second brother-in-law has really come up with a very good idea.

You don’t know that my second brother-in-law has already developed a super powerful cannon.

That artillery is really powerful!
My son and my fourth brother witnessed it with their own eyes.

That cannon, with one shot fired, could reach more than seven miles away!

If it’s far, it would be almost twelve miles!

The power is truly amazing!

A genuine national treasure!
My second brother-in-law also gave this cannon a name, called Hongwu Cannon.

"Hongwu Cannon?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with joy.

What a good name!
It should be called Hongwu Cannon!
Mei Yin, that bastard, finally did something human!
Even he knows how to flatter his father-in-law!

“Father, my second brother-in-law really has you in his heart.

This Hongwu Cannon will definitely leave a strong mark in history books in the future!"

Zhu Biao took the opportunity to speak well of Zhu Yuanzhang here.

Try hard to make the flattery of your second brother-in-law louder and louder.

Make the effect better.

This way I will not let down my second brother-in-law's kindness.

"Biao'er, don't say so many nice things to that guy.

That guy is such a bastard!
He has been disrespectful to me many times and has made death-defying admonitions to me, and I remember them all in my heart!
Is there anyone who speaks to his father-in-law like that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and spoke out.

He still looked critical of Mei Yin.

Zhu Biao knew, however, that his father was just being stubborn at this time.

In fact, I benefit more from it than anyone else.

Didn’t you see that the fingers on your father’s right hand behind his back moved subconsciously?

This was a habitual little action that his father would do when he was in a good mood.

Even my father himself is often unaware of it.

Zhu Biao naturally would not expose his father's duplicity.

Some corresponding face still needs to be given.

Sometimes, it is not good to say certain things.

If my father is willing to do this, then let's do it.

"The solution that bastard Mei Yin proposed is to install the Hongwu cannon on the warship and use the cannon to bombard those pirates, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who just now didn't care about Mei Yin naming the cannon as Hongwu Cannon, was not polite at all at this moment.

He started calling him that directly.

"Father, you are truly wise and powerful, nothing escapes your eyes!
If you just think about it a little bit, you will be able to see many things clearly.

The solution that the second brother-in-law thought of was to put the Hongwu cannon onto the warship.

Use the Hongwu cannon to appease those bandits! ! "

Crown Prince Zhu Biao gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up and immediately offered a series of flattery.

"Biao'er, stop flattering me here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, but there was a smile on his face.

From this we can see that he really benefited from what Zhu Biao said.

"Biao'er, this is not a good idea.

It's not like we haven't thought about this before.

Besides, the means used to get this cannon onto the warship were all leftovers from our past.

We did this during the Battle of Poyang Lake.

Doing this now will not have any effect.

The pirates' ships are too big, and our ships can only carry too few cannons.

Even though the Hongwu cannon made by Mei Yin was very powerful, it still had no way to defeat those pirates in one fell swoop."

Zhu Yuanzhang was here, telling Zhu Biao his views on these matters.

And I think the older the ginger, the spicier it is.

Mei Yin really made a mistake this time and didn't come up with a very good solution. Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Biao's voice saying, "Father, my second brother-in-law has also considered this matter.

And gave corresponding solutions. ”

what? !

Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised.

Mei Yin actually thought of this?
Moreover, have you figured out a corresponding solution?

He seemed a little unconvinced.

Because he had considered a lot before, but couldn't think of any good solution.

He then turned to look at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, wanting to see what good ideas Mei Yin could come up with.

Hope is a real solution.

That would be great if that were true!

Zhu Biao said: "Father, my second brother-in-law's idea is to install these numerous Hongwu cannons on the side of the warship.

In this way, the same ship can be equipped with many Hongwu cannons..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhu Biao said, he was immediately filled with disappointment.

He waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, don't listen to your second brother-in-law's nonsense!

He is just fooling you!
How can you do this?

Install the cannon on the side, and then use the broadside to attack the enemy.

Then... isn't it obvious that you are exposing your weaknesses to others and letting them attack you?
This behavior is no different from seeking death.

This kid is just giving random advice."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some disappointment and some happiness in his heart.

The disappointment was because his expectations were in vain. Mei Yin, that bastard, really didn't give him any ideas to surprise him.

He felt somewhat happy because after such a long time, he finally saw Mei Yin, the son-in-law who seemed to know everything, and finally encountered something he didn't know how to deal with...

As a result, just as he was thinking this, he heard the voice of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

“Father, my second brother-in-law has also considered this aspect.

Moreover, corresponding solutions are also given.

This method is particularly good! "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was very surprised and shocked.

At the same time, a lot of curiosity arose in my heart.

I want to know how Mei Yin solved this problem.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this matter was difficult to resolve.

To face the enemy with a broadside is to commit suicide...

"Father, we can line up those warships with a large number of artillery on the side, and when fighting the enemy, we can form a zigzag pattern..."

After Zhu Biao talked to Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, he sent someone to call Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

"The fourth one listened most attentively and took notes on a lot of things.

Let the fourth brother come over and demonstrate, and then you, Father, will understand. "

It’s not that Crown Prince Zhu Biao really couldn’t explain this matter clearly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao was present at the time and saw and remembered everything that happened.

As the executive vice emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had to deal with many government affairs every day.

Zhu Biao, who was excellent in both character and academics since childhood, may not have other abilities, but his memory is unquestionable.

He remembered everything his second brother-in-law said and could repeat it.

The reason why Zhu Biao called the fourth brother over now was because he wanted to give his fourth brother some opportunities.

Let my fourth brother behave well in front of our father.

It reflects some other values.

Zhu Biao knew very well that although his father, through simulating the life of the fourth son, knew that the fourth son would do many things particularly well in the future.

It is in line with my father's wishes.

However, since his father had already made up his mind to change the fate of himself and Xiongying, and based on his father's emphasis on him, even if he knew that the fourth son would become the emperor in the future and do a particularly good job.

Then we will definitely take some measures to restrict the fourth child.

It can't be said to be a restriction.

There will definitely be certain ideas on some things.

For example, if I want my father to be as busy as before and use the fourth son without scruples, and let the fourth son become the strongest vassal king in the north, I am afraid it will be difficult...

As the eldest brother, he did not want to see such an outstanding person as the fourth brother being treated like this by his father, burying his talent.

However, it was not easy for him to persuade his father.

So I decided to resolve this matter through my own efforts.

Find new opportunities for the fourth child.

Now he thinks it's a good idea to let the fourth brother do these things.

Since foreign trade is so important, and the fourth brother is his own younger brother and so capable.

I must speak more good words to the fourth brother on the side of the emperor.

Find a brand new path for the fourth child!

That way, I can be worthy of Old Four...

Soon, Zhu Di arrived.

After Zhu Di paid his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao went straight to the point.

He told Zhu Di the purpose of coming here.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di asked someone to make a simple sand table, just like his second brother-in-law did.

After explaining the rules to Zhu Yuanzhang, he began to carry out deductions with Zhu Yuanzhang on this simple sand table.

The only difference this time was that Zhu Yuanzhang played the role that had preceded Zhu Di and used traditional tactics.

Zhu Di was holding a fleet equipped with double-sided cannons, representing the battle against his father.

During this process, Zhu Di used everything his second brother-in-law taught him.

How did my second brother-in-law use this method to torture me before?

At this time, he used this method to torture his father.

After trying various methods to fight Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang was finally convinced.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for him to defeat Zhu Di.

This fleet equipped with double-sided Hongwu cannons is actually so useful!
Especially after adopting such tactics.

Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with excitement and some disbelief.

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

After laughing, he suddenly realized that he had always looked down on Mei Yin.

In front of others, he starts cursing when it’s mentioned.

And now these are the solutions that Mei Yin can't think of.

The smile on his face suddenly faded a lot.

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: “It’s okay, this is new.

The Hongwu cannon, combined with such tactics, can indeed add a lot of color.

It's enough to kill those pirates."

"Father, this is just okay?

It’s simply too good!
With the extremely powerful Hongwu cannon made by my second brother-in-law.

Plus the corresponding tactics.

Next, it won’t take too long for us to send the navy out to sea to destroy all those pirates!

My second brother-in-law has made a great contribution!"

Zhu Biao said this excitedly, never forgetting to praise his second brother-in-law.

"Father, I have to ask my second brother-in-law.

My second brother-in-law said that this thing is relatively simple to make.

As long as there are enough people and enough materials.

Basically, a group of people can build a Hongwu cannon in ten days.

If we get more people, we can build 600 cannons in about two months!

With these 600 Hongwu cannons, we will surely be able to win a crushing victory against the pirates next time!"

"It's just so-so, not worthy of your praise..."

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and spoke, trying to sound calm.

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but look at him silently.

it is more than words……

"Father, I want to lead the Ming navy to the sea and wipe out those pirates outside!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke.

He wanted to take advantage of his father's good mood and quickly settle this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak immediately.

Zhu Di waited anxiously for a while before he said, "You'd better not take this job, as you will have to go to the north in the future.

Moreover, what you learn are all horse-riding skills.

The navy is not good at it and doesn't know much about it.

Let's leave it to someone who's good at it.

We have some important things for you to do from now on."

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Di felt a little relieved.

But he still said: "Father, I still want to lead the navy to fight such a battle.

Although children don’t know how to fight in water, they can learn.

Moreover, the child is most familiar with the combat tactics equipped with new artillery taught by his second brother-in-law.

There is nothing wrong with letting the child go.

Besides... there are no capable generals in our Ming navy.

It would be better to let the children play a role in it.

With the child here, I think those pirates will be more excited and will concentrate their forces to attack our Ming navy..."

Zhu Di really wanted to get this job.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see about this.

Let us think it over.”

Zhu Di had no choice but to agree and not say more about this matter...

Zhu Biao told many things, but he still didn't mention the matter of conferring the title of Earl on Mei Yin during his trip to Shuangshui Village.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait any longer and wanted to ask.

Zhu Biao finally spoke.

"Father, I have one more thing I want to tell you."

"what's up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to make his expression appear normal.

It was as if he didn't know what Zhu Biao was going to say.

"That is... I took the imperial edict that you wrote last time, as well as the seal and other things, and finalized the matter of conferring the title of Shuangshui Earl on my second brother-in-law..."

Zhu Biao tried hard to act cautious as he spoke out.

He put a lot of thought into acting in conjunction with his old father.

"Well...Originally, after I got there, I didn't think about doing what you didn't do before.

But this second brother-in-law is so outstanding!
Not only did he create the Hongwu Cannon, but he also created this extremely powerful national treasure.

At the same time, he came up with such a good idea to arm the navy.

He also shared with others the very useful tactics he had developed, without keeping anything to himself.

From now on, when fighting against pirates again, we will be able to crush them.

The contribution made by my second brother-in-law is simply too great!

It would be unacceptable if there is no reward.

So I couldn't help myself for a moment and did what you, Father, hadn't done before..."

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said, "What the hell is the point of giving him a title!

What's wrong with what this guy has done and the contributions he has made?
It's nothing compared to what he did!
It's not enough to make up for the mistakes!"

After cursing for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject and said, "Forget it, since it was you who did it, then it counts.

No matter what, we can't offend you, Biaoer.

Only you, as the big brother, would protect him and do such a thing for him.

Otherwise, if he wants to get the title here with all the shit he has done, he can just dream on it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude remained tough.

Zhu Di lowered his head silently and tried his best to appear to be sharing the same hatred for the enemy as his father.

My father is the most stubborn person in the world!
Everyone has seen through it, but he is still here and refuses to admit it.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do...

"Father, if that's the case, then...I will arrange it right away and have someone announce this decree to the world?"

“Well, let’s do this.

You have already given me the reward, so I will handle the rest as I wish."

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then he took the fourth brother and left Wuying Palace.

After Zhu Biao and the other man left, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but curse:
"Little bastard! Your wings have really grown strong!

How dare you hide this from your father and do such a thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

"But you know what, our brand is different.

He has the demeanor of an emperor.

You should be stronger and bolder.

This is how he looks like his own child, and how he looks like the emperor's son!"

……

"Hahaha……"

After leaving Wuying Palace, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Especially happy.

It was really their father's reaction that was so funny.

"Brother, if the news of my second brother-in-law being named the Earl of Shuangshui is made public, I think a lot of people will be upset again."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao and spoke.

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Let them feel uncomfortable!
Who made them so blind?

Don’t you know the true heroes in the world?
From now on, they will suffer!!”

……

[Congratulations to the host, triggering the pig feeding will make you stronger and get rewards...]

In Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin was feeding the pigs as usual.

The pig had just taken a few bites when some noises suddenly came from the death remonstrance system.

The long-awaited reward of becoming stronger by feeding pigs was triggered by him again.

After a moment's pause, he quickly looked at the reward.

After seeing clearly what the reward is.

Mei Yin was overjoyed.

This reward is really too important!! (End of this chapter)
