Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

After seeing what the reward was for triggering the function of feeding the pigs to become stronger, Mei Yin became extremely happy.

Or it can be said to be an incredible surprise!

Because this reward was something he had thought about countless times before.

But I also know that if I want to become stronger by feeding pigs, or even by using the death remonstration system, it is basically hopeless.

But who would have thought that now he could become stronger by touching and feeding the pigs, and actually got out the thing he wanted so much!

This time, you can become stronger by triggering the feeding of pigs, and the reward is nothing else but chili peppers!
This is chili pepper!

I don’t know how long he has been thinking about this good thing!

As a person who likes spicy food in later life.

Now that I have come to Ming Dynasty, I can’t eat spicy food every day.

This feeling is indescribable.

Although many things such as ginger, garlic, and onion are spicy when eaten raw.

But this kind of spiciness is completely different from the spiciness of chili peppers. They are completely different things.

Whenever he cooks or eats, Mei Yin would especially miss the peppers of later generations.

It's not extremely spicy, but just a little spicy. Make some fried eggs with peppers, or fried pork with peppers, and they are both very delicious.

Especially greedy.

He also thought about whether he could get chili peppers by triggering the feeding of pigs to become stronger.

But he quickly threw this idea out of his mind, thinking it was unrealistic.

Because pigs don't eat chili peppers.

This is fundamentally different from the previous method of feeding pigs and becoming stronger by triggering the feeding of pigs, and obtaining crops such as sweet potatoes.

The possibility of becoming stronger and obtaining chili peppers by feeding pigs is really not very high.

But who could have imagined that this time I would get such a big surprise!
Could it be that... this pig also eats chili peppers?
Mei Yin was somewhat confused.

In later life, he had seen rabbits eating chili peppers.

I picked a few of the particularly spicy peppers grown at home and put them close to the rabbit's mouth. The rabbit would move its three-lobed mouth and eat them completely without any expression on its face.

I don’t know if they have no sense of pain and can’t feel the spiciness.

Since rabbits can eat peppers, perhaps omnivores like pigs can also eat peppers.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a short while in Mei Yin's mind, and then was quickly thrown out of his mind.

Don't think about it anymore.

Who cares if pigs can eat chili peppers!

Anyway, I have already been rewarded with peppers by feeding the pigs, and that is enough.

Don't think too much about the rest.

Not to mention obtaining peppers by feeding pigs, even if in the future one could become stronger by feeding pigs and obtain steam engine technology or even nuclear bomb technology, Mei Yin would be particularly happy and would not delve into it too deeply.

As long as we can make something that can really make people stronger by feeding pigs, we can make this thing.

Even if someone said that pigs eat nuclear bombs, Mei Yin would believe it!

Looking at the pepper seedlings that had been stored in the warehouse, Mei Yin seemed particularly excited.

These one hundred pepper plants are planted just like the sweet potatoes before.

As long as they choose to plant them, twenty-five of them will fall into Mei Yin's field.

The remaining seventy-five plants will spread out around Mei Yin's field.

The closer to Mei Yin's field, the greater the possibility of peppers appearing.

The more there are.

The farther the distance, the less.

The scope covers the entire Yingtian Prefecture.

If Mei Yin wants to plant these peppers, he only needs to operate through the system, and he can plant the peppers stored in the warehouse at will.

It makes them look like they have grown there naturally.

It is no different from growing sweet potatoes before.

With this method, we can reduce other people's suspicion as little as possible.

Moreover, these one hundred pepper plants, like the sweet potatoes, are not the same variety of peppers.

Instead, there are many kinds of peppers.

In this way, as long as they are planted in the future, Ming Dynasty will have many varieties of peppers.

It can greatly enrich people's food and make food more delicious.

Looking at the peppers in the warehouse, Mei Yin really wanted to choose and plant all these peppers immediately.

However, after this thought lasted for a while in his mind, he finally suppressed it.

I chose to hold back for now.

After all, the solar terms are not right at this time. It is already late autumn and winter is about to come.

It’s almost time for hibernation.

Under such circumstances, he should plant the peppers.

It won’t be long before these peppers will die as the frost falls, and there will be no time for them to produce any fruit.

Moreover, in Mei Yin's view, each of these peppers is extremely precious.

He didn't even know what kind of coincidence allowed him to get these peppers.

Of course, we must be extremely cautious.

You definitely can't plant them at this time and waste them.

If he wasted it this time, he didn't know if he would be able to get chili peppers again in the future.

Even if he really wanted to plant these peppers, he had to endure it.

During this process, Mei Yin also came up with a way to grow peppers at this time.

That is to plant them out, then find them and transplant them.

We have already made glass, so we can use it to build a greenhouse.

Plant peppers in it and cultivate them.

Under these conditions, these peppers can definitely be cultivated.

It will produce peppers.

However, after this thought arose, Mei Yin threw it out of his mind and denied it.

The reason for this is that if you really do this, it will seem particularly deliberate.

It is easy for those who are interested to have many doubts about themselves.

I wonder if I knew in advance that peppers were a good thing, otherwise, why would I specifically grow them in a greenhouse?

In addition, there is a more important reason, which is that there are only 25 plants in his field, and the remaining 75 plants will be scattered to other places.

He can find some from his own fields and transplant them.

But there is no way further away.

This means that many of the other seventy or so plants will die in the coming cold winter.

And the peppers obtained are of many varieties.

He also didn't know whether each of the 25 pepper plants in his field was different.

Is it possible to include all the varieties of peppers?

So, after some hesitation, he finally suppressed this strong thought completely.

Just be patient!

He will wait until the beginning of next spring and then plant the peppers.

In this case, based on previous experience in growing sweet potatoes, at least more than half of the peppers in his own field, plus the area around Shuangshui Village, will fall around here.

The rest are located further away.

When peppers appear here in the future, you can come back and look for peppers that have fallen to other places.

It may be difficult to find peppers when they are not yet ripe.

But once the peppers are ripe, they are easy to identify.

By then, I will have proven the deliciousness of chili peppers.

If we send people to look for it somewhere else, it won't be noticeable.

Everything makes sense.

Moreover, this time, it is unclear whether the peppers planted can survive, or whether they will end up in other people's fields and be removed as weeds like the sweet potatoes.

Mei Yin is much more confident.

After all, we just experienced the sweet potato incident this year.

Most of the others threw away the sweet potatoes, only those from his and Jinglong's fields were left.

Then sweet potatoes had such an amazing yield.

After this incident, I believe that the rest of the people will definitely follow my steps when they encounter similar things...

Mei Yin was in such a good mood that he wanted to sing a song to express his excitement.

Looking at the pigs in the pigsty, I became more and more happy.

I think feeding pigs is really promising!
He will have to feed pigs all his life!

Don't let anyone stop him, he will get angry with anyone who tries to stop him!
These pigs in front of you represent endless wealth!

Sure enough, labor can make people rich.

However, after thinking about it excitedly for a while, Mei Yin decided to build a greenhouse next.

Create a vegetable garden.

In this day and age, there are very few types of vegetables that can be eaten in winter.

That is, radish, cabbage, spinach, garlic sprouts, and some onions and other small amounts of vegetables that are not very afraid of the severe cold.

Apart from these categories, the rest are very few.

In winter, you must mainly eat dried vegetables, meat and many other things.

Even the royal nobles are mostly the same in this regard.

With the glass, he can build a greenhouse here and grow some off-season vegetables.

In later times, off-season vegetables are much more expensive than ordinary vegetables.

From here we can see the rarity of off-season vegetables.

In this era, it has become even more rare to build a greenhouse to grow some off-season vegetables.

Not to mention giving it to others, just eating it yourself can make people feel extremely happy.

Isn’t life all about food, clothing, shelter and transportation?
Especially food, which we can’t live without every day.

It's good to be nice to yourself and please yourself.

Of course, when it comes to building a greenhouse, the most cost-effective and convenient one is the plastic greenhouse in the back room.

But unfortunately, he couldn't make something like plastic.

At least there is no way for now.

Whether it can be manufactured in the future depends entirely on the power of the system.

But he has glass, so he can make one with glass!

Although the cost is a bit high, and the price of this glass nowadays is far higher than that of later generations, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priced as high as gold!

But...who made the glass here?
Under such circumstances, there is no need to think too much.

We must build a greenhouse.

Compared to something like glass that can be made at will, using some glass to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables is the most cost-effective for Mei Yin.

Mei Yin, in a good mood, watched the pigs finish their food. He went in and cleaned these big pigs thoroughly one by one with a brush.

The service was so careful and serious.

Even more careful than when dressing herself up.

You have to be careful!

These big pigs may look like pigs, but in fact, each one of them is the most valuable treasure!

As long as you do things related to feeding pigs, you never know when the trigger will be to feed the pigs and you will become stronger.

It is even more attractive and exciting than opening a blind box.

After all, ever since he learned that he could become stronger by feeding pigs, the rewards he received every time he triggered it were extremely precious.

Under such circumstances, how could we not treat these pigs well!
However, after this cleanup, it did not trigger the idea of ​​feeding pigs to become stronger.

Mei Yin was not disappointed at all about this.

Today, you can become stronger by touching and feeding the pigs, and get peppers.

For him, it is a very good and happy thing.

In the next ten days, half a month, or even two to three months, or even half a year, you won’t be able to trigger the function of becoming stronger by feeding the pigs, and you won’t be able to get the reward.

There won't be any surprises for him.

He will still continue to feed the pigs every day as always...

……

“Yes, this is how we dig this thing.

The smaller the opening, the more space there is in the stomach.

At least it needs to be dug about ten feet deep.

In this way, we can keep warm and store vegetables, sweet potatoes and other things better in the future..."

In Shuangshui Village, the people under the command of Mei Yin were digging a sweet potato cellar.

At this time, it was getting colder day by day.

It is time to harvest late sweet potatoes.

After these late sweet potatoes are dug out, they will be quickly placed in the sweet potato cellar for storage.

When the weather is cold, do not store the sweet potatoes in the sweet potato cellar.

After the winter, most of these sweet potatoes will go bad.

It would be a pity if it broke.

This matter is not easy to handle!
These are all our hopes for expansion next year!
If it is not stored properly, a lot of it will go bad.

By next year, expanding the scale of planting will become a luxury.

Therefore, the sweet potato cellar must be dug well.

The storage of sweet potatoes should be treated as a top priority.

Two sweet potato cellars have been dug in advance, and the third one is being dug now.

The location for the sweet potato cellar should be high and the soil should be thick and sticky.

In this case, even if you dig about ten feet deep, no water will come out.

Moreover, the sweet potato cellar is sturdy and not easy to collapse.

Because there were a lot of late sweet potatoes planted, there were as many as thirty-five acres.

So the sweet potato cellar that Mei Yin had people dig had a lot of space inside.

In this way, you can store as many sweet potatoes as possible.

Those five acres of land are definitely not enough.

Even with Li Jinglong's land, it is still impossible to grow 35 acres of late sweet potatoes.

But don’t forget that Shuangshui Village and several surrounding villages, as well as the people on this village, were given to Mei Yin by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It became Mei Yin's private property. Under such circumstances, Mei Yin had the final say on what to plant in the field.

At that time, in order to expand the cultivation of sweet potatoes, he took some land suitable for growing sweet potatoes and planted sweet potatoes.

Some crops were even uprooted for this purpose.

There is no other way, we have to take emergency measures.

That's all we can do.

Mei Yin also gave certain compensation to the people who planted the crops that were uprooted, so that they would not suffer losses.

The sweet potatoes grown in these fields are related to the subsequent promotion of planting.

So after the harvest, everything will belong to Mei Yin.

It is definitely beyond the rent that should be collected from these people.

Mei Yin will not let these people suffer and will give them corresponding compensation in the future...

After hearing Mei Yin's words, the people digging the sweet potato cellar became more enthusiastic.

Make the sweet potato cellar particularly neat.

After inspecting here, I found that everyone was doing everything in an orderly manner.

Mei Yin came to the glass factory.

He started to have people produce the corresponding glass according to his needs.

No preparations were made to build a greenhouse.

This matter is also very important.

It’s related to whether he can eat fresh fruits and vegetables here this winter.

Now, this glass factory has trained a group of workers with very good skills.

After Mei Yin told them the glass he needed, the corresponding size and other requirements.

Production will start soon...

"Second uncle, what are you going to do?"

Li Jinglong couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and ask.

When he was with his second uncle, he always asked questions.

I don't feel ashamed.

Because after spending such a long time together, he had already accepted from the bottom of his heart the fact that his second uncle was better than himself.

After accepting this fact, when he asked his second uncle about things, it seemed natural and he did not feel any shame.

Moreover, he knew that his second uncle would not be annoyed by his inquiries.

My second uncle likes people to ask if they don’t understand something.

I really despise those who pretend to know when they don't.

My second uncle had once asked someone to burn a lot of that kind of mirror-like, square glass to make windows.

Since then, the glass factory has been producing this kind of glass.

Because the glass installed on the newly built house of my second uncle has a very strong publicity effect.

Many people who come to Shuangshui Village are envious and shocked.

Accordingly, reservations have also begun...

What is burned now is sold to others.

Why now... my second uncle wants to make a large amount for his own use?
And the amount of glass fired this time was far more than the last time he installed windows for his new house.

This made him wonder what his second uncle was trying to do.

Could it be... that my second uncle is planning to build a bigger and better house?
It seems that apart from these, there is no other function.

Hearing Li Jinglong's question, Mei Yin had nothing to hide.

Looking at him, he said, "Jinglong, I plan to use glass to create a greenhouse."

"Greenhouse? What is this?"

“It’s a space enclosed by glass.

Because the glass is windproof and the sun can shine in, it will be very warm in winter..."

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong reacted immediately and knew what his second uncle was trying to do.

"Second uncle, what you mean is that if we build a house like this, we can stay inside and bask in the sun in the winter.

Can’t feel the cold wind?”

Hearing what Li Jinglong said, Mei Yin said, "Jinglong, your suggestion is indeed very good.

Making a house like this with glass will make you feel very warm and comfortable when you stay inside it in the winter.

I will make one in the future!"

If Li Jinglong hadn't reminded him, Mei Yin would have almost forgotten about the sunroom.

He can indeed build a sunroom here, and it would be so comfortable to stay in it in the winter.

Is it really like this?

When Li Jinglong heard that he had guessed the purpose of his second uncle's glass house, he seemed a little excited.

At this moment, Mei Yin's voice continued to be heard.

"However, Jinglong, what I am going to build this time is not for people to stay in, but for growing vegetables."

Planting... vegetables?!
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong was stunned.

I was shocked by what my second uncle said.

No way...my second uncle made glass and built houses just to grow vegetables?!

This... this is glass!

The ornaments and other things made nowadays are so exquisite, so popular, and so valuable as gold!

As a result, now, my second uncle is preparing to build a big house with glass, not for anything else, but for growing vegetables?

This... is too luxurious, right?
Before this, Li Jinglong always thought that he was very generous and lavish in spending money.

After all, his father and grandfather are both good at making money.

There is a lot of money in the family, and if he doesn't spend it well, he will be sorry for his grandfather and his father's talent.

However, after meeting his second uncle, he finally understood what true arrogance was.

Compared with my second uncle, I am still far behind!

It's nothing compared to a big witch.

My second uncle seems quiet on weekdays.

There is no particular pursuit for money and other things.

But when they really start to do something, they can always create a big one silently.

Let yourself be surprised and feel luxurious!
This shows how big the investment of my second uncle is.

"Second uncle...if you use this glass to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, can it...make the vegetables taste better?"

Li Jinglong looked at Mei Yin and organized his words to ask.

Mei Yin shook his head and said, "No, and if we really talk about the taste, it's far worse than the vegetables grown outside."

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong was somewhat dumbfounded and full of confusion.

He really couldn't understand what his second uncle was trying to do.

Since...the vegetables grown outside are much more delicious than those grown in this house built with glass.

Then why would my second uncle go to such great lengths and spend such a huge price to do such a thing?
This... isn't this a bit too uneconomical and too unwise?

This... such unwise thing, could my second uncle really do something like this?

Would my second uncle do such a loss-making business?

Li Jinglong immediately rejected those unreliable ideas of his.

He felt that based on his long understanding of his second uncle, many of the things his second uncle did were meaningful.

I will definitely not do business that will lose money.

I understand such a simple truth, so how could my second uncle not understand it?
But he still chose to do it.

Then, there must be some intention that I am not aware of.

"Second uncle, growing vegetables in this glass house, is there...some other considerations?"

Since he couldn’t think of it, Li Jinglong stopped thinking about it.

He looked directly at Mei Yin and asked.

Mei Yin nodded and said, "Aren't houses made of glass good at keeping warm?

Can ensure sunlight shines in.

It's also warm inside in winter.

Under such circumstances, fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer and autumn can be grown in the winter. "

Mei Yin did not keep the secret and directly told Li Jinglong the benefits of this greenhouse.

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong couldn't help but be stunned.

Then the whole person became excited.

"Second uncle! This is good! This is good!

This can indeed be done!"

He kept saying.

No wonder my second uncle said that the vegetables grown in this glass house do not taste as good as those grown outside, but it still costs so much money and effort to build a glass house and grow vegetables in it in the future.

But it turns out there is such a benefit!
In this case, it is definitely worth doing!
With this thing, I can eat a lot of fresh vegetables, fruits and melons in winter.

This couldn't be better!
Li Jinglong never really liked winter.

It's not just that winter is colder, a more important reason is that once winter comes, many fruits and vegetables can no longer be eaten.

Now, I have this greenhouse that my second uncle is planning to build.

Then when winter comes, I can eat summer vegetables!
Imagine that in the future you will take a few fresh and tender cucumbers, sit in the flower house by the Qinhuai River, and chew on one.

Cut a fresh watermelon.

That demeanor is simply beyond words!

No matter how many princes and nobles there are, they will be defeated by the cucumber in his hand!

What is luxury?
What does it mean to be capable?

Gold and silver alone are not enough.

Be able to do things that others cannot do and enjoy things that others cannot enjoy.

The greatest luxury is the one that cannot be bought with money!

"Second uncle! Make it! Make more, make it big!
When the time comes, we will plant all the fruits and vegetables!"

Whenever Li Jinglong thought of such a scene, he felt extremely excited.

I couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and started talking.

I wholeheartedly support Mei Yin's decision.

I became more and more respectful towards my second uncle.

He really deserves to be my second uncle!

He can use the glass in new ways!
Moreover, after my second uncle clearly stated that he wanted to use this glass to build a house, I only thought about making it comfortable for people to stay inside.

However, I never imagined that this method could be used to grow fruits and vegetables that are only available in summer.

This is the huge gap between me and my second uncle!
As for whether this method can be used to grow fruits and vegetables in summer.

Li Jinglong had no doubt about this at all.

On the one hand, the method proposed by my second uncle sounds very reliable.

Why can’t we grow summer vegetables in winter?

It’s because it’s too cold!
This glass house built by my second uncle is very warm.

Under such circumstances, vegetables can naturally be planted and allowed to grow.

Not to mention that this matter seems very reliable at first glance, even if it is a little unreliable, as long as it is said by his second uncle, Li Jinglong believes that it will succeed!
There is no other reason for this. It was my second uncle who said this.

During this time, he has seen many times how his second uncle turned decay into magic and made the impossible possible!
In Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin's life is very fulfilling.

While he was thinking about how to store sweet potatoes and preparing for the greenhouse that would need to be built next.

Life in the capital is far from as peaceful as it is here.

The shock caused by the execution of the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang, as well as the execution of their entire family, has not yet completely subsided.

Then, something else happened that was enough to shock countless people! !
Just during the morning court session, news suddenly came from the imperial court.

It is said that the son-in-law Mei Yin was conferred the title of Shuangshui Earl!
Begin to officially announce it to the world.

After this news came out, it quickly caused an uproar like an earthquake!

……

Qinhuai River, an extremely wide and gorgeous painted boat.

Two young gentlemen were half lying there, eating grapes slowly.

There was a very beautiful and top-notch woman accompanying him.

They were particularly respectful to these two young men.

The reason is simple: the status of these two people is too high.

One of them is the current ruler, Mei Yi, the son of Mei Sizu, Marquis of Runan.

The other person is Zhu Xian, the son of Zhu Liangzu, Marquis of Yongjia.

Although the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, it is the time when the number of meritorious officials and military generals is the largest.

The power is also the greatest.

But it is not to the point where there are as many nobles as dogs.

In addition, the nobles today are truly in power and have extremely extraordinary status and position.

These two sons of the founding marquisates came here and they were truly nobles.

Ever since Li Jinglong, an old customer of the Qinhuai River, seldom comes here.

The sons of these marquises are all outstanding figures!
"Brother Mei, don't think too much, that bastard Mei Yin is far inferior to you!

After all, he is just a royal consort.

These identities are obtained by marrying a wife.

Being a disgrace to others is not a great skill, is it?
And even now, they are still farming and feeding pigs in that remote and desolate place.

It will be difficult to achieve anything great in this life!

Brother Mei, you will definitely inherit the title in the future. This is the real thing.

It is something that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

Even if Mei Yin became a royal consort, it would still not work.

This will be his life from now on.

He is just a prince consort who is not very popular!

In order to live in peace, he needs to be humble in front of the princess.

From now on, it would be great if the princess didn’t have to make him wear a pile of hats!

Don't even think about being conferred a title.

"After becoming a consort of the emperor, how can he be given a title?"

Zhu Xian slowly ate the grapes fed by the beauty, while looking at Mei Yi with half-closed eyes and spoke.

Mei Yi smiled upon hearing this... (End of this chapter)
