Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 42 Fourth child, so rebellious! What does he want to do!

The price suddenly increased by tens of thousands of yuan, and it seems that the effect of cotton-padded clothes is still very obvious.

Thirty thousand sticks of incense are simply a drop in the bucket for Xishan Village, and now, the entire village only has more than 6,000 people.

If the entire Ming Dynasty believed in him in the future, wouldn't his incense increase by hundreds in an instant?

The total population of the Ming Dynasty was more than 66 million.

When he helps Zhu Di rebel, he can give him his time-travel artifacts, such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.

By that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty should reach four to five billion.

The incense of four to five billion people is an astronomical figure.

Bai Chu felt like he had opened a new door. If it was true as Bai Chu said, there would be thousands of incense in that day.

There are hundreds of prescriptions for longevity pills, but you can buy ten pills a day?
  Even the longevity elixir can be afforded, and the nine-turn golden elixir may not be impossible to achieve in the future.

You know, the Nine Transformations Golden Pill can make a person ascend to heaven in one step, reborn, and cultivate an immortal body.

If he could eat one, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds and he would become the strongest true dragon in the world.

Bai Chu became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his mouth was watering. He looked at the empty temple and laughed.

"Master Bai, Master Bai!!"

Zhu Gaochi was startled by Bai Chu's weird smile and called Bai Chu quickly.

"what happened?"

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's 'mentally retarded' expression, Bai Chu suddenly wiped his mouth and said:
  "Your Highness, do you want to extend your life?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly, fearing that Bai Chu would regret it.

"Think so, Mr. Bai."

"Quick, tell me, how can I extend my life?"

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he saw Bai Chu's evil smile. This smile made his hair stand on end.

"Master Bai, I have thought about it, should I give up?"

"Really? It's not up to you."

Bai Chu laughed evilly and looked at the big fat man in front of him. This was a rare good emperor in the ages.

If he and his son had lived another thirty years, Ming Dynasty might have been different.

His fate and that of Daming are tied together. As Daming becomes stronger, he will become even stronger.

If Ming Dynasty really rises, he can soar to the sky. By then, Fatty will not be able to escape.

"Starting from tomorrow, no greasy food, no deep-fried food, no sweets, only fruits and vegetables are allowed."

"In addition, you have to run every day, no more than five kilometers."

The fat man weighs more than 180 kilograms. If he doesn't deal with it, he will probably reach 200 kilograms soon.

No wonder he died at such a young age. If he continues like this, he will have high grades sooner or later.

Three highs will be an incurable disease in future generations and cannot be cured at all, let alone now.

In order to leave a suitable heir to Zhu Di, it was natural to urge Zhu Gaochi to lose weight.

However, what he didn't expect was that as Bai Chuzheng was talking, Zhu Gaochi suddenly shouted:
  "Master Bai, are you trying to kill me?"

Zhu Gaochi felt despair when he thought of his favorite Dongpo pork and fried crispy pork.

"Mr. Bai, I won't extend my life anymore, please let me go."

"No, it's impossible."

Bai Chu refused, and finally added:

"I will report this matter to King Yan and Princess Yan. I believe they will definitely agree." Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly fell down, with a look of despair on his face, and his intestines turned green with regret. He really wanted to slap himself twice.

Bai Chu laughed out loud when he saw Zhu Gaochi's reaction.

"Okay, don't be so sad. I'm thinking about you."

"Young man, the common people in this world still rely on you to protect them. If you die, how will they deal with themselves?"

Zhu Gaochi shuddered when he heard this, and then he took Bai Chu back to his residence.

Yingtian City.

The New Year is approaching, and the capital of Ming Dynasty is more lively than ever before, and the bustling streets are crowded with people.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang also specially issued a ban and canceled the curfew, making the entire capital lively.

Compared to the bustling outside, the imperial city seemed a bit deserted.

After the deaths of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao, only his beloved grandson Zhu Yunwen could accompany Zhu Yuanzhang during the New Year.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was on New Year's Day, he was still reviewing the memorial.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has lost everything now. He has nothing except the country. What he misses the most is this beautiful land.

Although it was the New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang did not relax his vigilance and reviewed the memorials with Zhu Yunwen every day.

"Grandpa Huang, this is a discount from my fourth uncle."

When Zhu Yunwen read the last note, he suddenly reminded him.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the two words Zhu Di, he immediately became energetic.

The fourth child has indeed been very active during this period. The coal issue has just been resolved, so why is he here now?
  Could it be that the Mongols are marching south again?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to Zhu Di's performance with strong curiosity.

After listening to the eunuch next to him reading Zhu Di's memorial, he became furious, slapped the table, stood up, and said angrily:

"It's so unreasonable and treasonous. This fourth child still doesn't take me seriously?"

In the warm pavilion.

Zhu Yuanzhang's hair and beard stood up, and he glared angrily, like an enraged lion, making it impossible to look at him.

Just now, Zhu Di submitted a memorial saying that he wanted to go to sea, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhu Di's move was obviously a challenge to his majesty.

When the Japanese pirates were in full swing, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a ban on maritime trade. That is to say, in the fourth year of Hongwu, all merchant ships were canceled nationwide.

This is to prevent more serious Japanese invasion.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and rich products. Even the sixteen states of Yanyun were recaptured by him. He wanted to build an empire huge enough to become king on his own.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking, the reason why the two Song Dynasties opened up maritime trade was simply because the two countries were weak and wanted to build a country based on trade.

Without trade, the two Song states would not be able to survive.

However, the Chinese dynasty has been dominated by agriculture since ancient times, while the two Song dynasties were dominated by commerce. This is enough to show that the Song Dynasty is the weakest in China.

With the strength of Ming Dynasty, there is no need for sea transportation at all. It can be self-sufficient. Neither sea transportation nor sea trade is necessary.

In line with the concept of "taking agriculture as the basis", Zhu Yuanzhang would never open the sea, let alone allow anyone to oppose him.

If he knew who dared to dive into the sea, he would confiscate his home and exterminate his family.

But now, his son turned a deaf ear to his will and insisted on going to sea, completely ignoring his father.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's furious state, Zhu Yunwen was also shocked, but more than anything, he felt a sense of pleasure.
