Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 266 Zhu Yunwen is born! Fourth Master: The biggest waste

After Zhu Di gets married, he will join the feudal clan, that is, go to Beiping City. However, the young couple is not in a hurry. In the words of Fourth Master Zhu, they want to give them time for their honeymoon. Fourth Master Zhu also wanted to spend more time with Huner and his daughter, but they still wanted to stay in Yingtian.

On this day, the fleet going to America returned. Fourth Master Zhu personally went to the pier to greet them. Seeing the huge fleet entering the port, Zhang Dingbian got off the ship and quickly came to Fourth Master Zhu to pay his respects: "See you, Gang Leader."

"Get up, let's go, have a drink, and tell me about your trip to the Americas." Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand.

The two returned to the main altar of the Beggar Clan, and the food and wine were served. Zhang Dingbian drank three glasses in a row and sighed: "The wine from Daming is still delicious."

He devoured a large bowl of food again, and Fourth Master Zhu was not in a hurry. He took a small sip and waited for Zhang Dingbian to enjoy it first. After being on the ship for so long, I finally came back, so naturally I had to eat first.

"Gang leader, we have a lot of goods this time!" Zhang Dingbian was full of admiration, "It's almost as you expected, gang leader. There is indeed a big dynasty over there called the Inca Empire. They have very advanced agriculture, corn , potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, etc., there are many types of crops and the yields are high. I brought back the seeds of them all this time.”

Fourth Master Zhu nodded while listening. Before setting off, the instructions he gave Zhang Dingbian were based on the history books he had read in his previous life. And Zhang Dingbian really saw it, such as the Inca Empire.

This is the most powerful empire in the Americas. They have developed very advanced in agriculture, architecture, law, arts, handicrafts, and religion. However, they are extremely backward in terms of military. Their main weapons are wooden clubs, stone axes, javelins, Spears, bows and arrows. Since there were no horses in America, the Inca Empire had no cavalry.

Zhang Dingbian's fleet numbered 20,000 people and had the most advanced muskets and artillery in the Ming Dynasty. The Inca Empire's army was no match at all. A blast from the cannon would frighten them.

"It would be great if we could really have such a high output." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed infinite longing.

……

When the door of the warehouse slowly opened, golden light overflowed, and a room full of goldware came into view. Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Oh my god, so many gold objects?!"

"Of course!" Mr. Zhu replied categorically, "They can not only be used as staple food, but can also be used to raise livestock, which has many benefits. Wait until next spring, you can choose a piece of land to try and see how the yield of these seeds is. Of course. , I will also take some of them to northern Xinjiang for trial planting.”

Early the next morning.

"Is this true?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these exotic seeds with confusion on his face, "Are these novel things really edible?"

"Yes, yes." Fourth Master Zhu nodded, "Bring them advanced things."

"Where's the silver mine and the gold mine?" Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"It's not over yet, I'll let you open your eyes again." With that said, Fourth Master Zhu led Zhu Yuanzhang towards another warehouse.

"That's great, Lao Zhang, raise a glass and have a drink." Fourth Master Zhu laughed.

"Dad, there are so many treasures, how many of them should you give me?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

"Isn't that going to make a fortune?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was ecstatic.

"Chongba, take a closer look," Mr. Zhu introduced enthusiastically, "the yield per mu of these magical seeds can easily exceed a thousand kilograms, and they are highly adaptable and can be planted in different places. This is very important to us." It is undoubtedly good news for the Ming Dynasty, and the people can finally get rid of hunger. "

"We have occupied the largest silver mine and gold mine, and the gang leader has made a fortune. Gold and silver will continue to come in in the future." Zhang Dingbian was excited.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled evilly, and Zhang Dingbian's eyes flashed: "Their alchemy is very advanced, and my subordinate's eyes have been opened. There are many exquisite gold tools."

"Of course, we don't want to destroy them." Zhang Ding smiled and spread his hands, "We are here to help them."

Fourth Master Zhu led Zhu Yuanzhang into the spacious warehouse of Daming Trading Company. Inside the warehouse, various crop seeds brought back by Zhang Dingbian from distant America are displayed in a dazzling array - golden corn, plump potatoes, huge sweet potatoes, etc.

Various gold bracelets, necklaces and other accessories are displayed in the warehouse, with exquisite patterns carved on them. There are also huge gold statues, gold masks, and gold knives inlaid with turquoise, all showing luxury and nobility. Fourth Master Zhu smiled proudly: "How is it? Did it blind you?"

"Haha, what's mine is yours." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand boldly, "Besides, Zhang Dingbian discovered huge gold and silver mines there. There will be a lot of gold and silver treasures in the future, and this has just begun. "

"This trip to sea is really fruitful." Zhu Yuanzhang admired sincerely.

Fourth Master Zhu looked around, and his eyes suddenly fell on the cigar seeds. He was secretly happy: This is a good thing. In the future, our Ming Dynasty will also have its own cigarette factory. If we make cigars first and sell them to the West, we will definitely make a lot of money.

"More gold and silver is a good thing, but it can also turn into a bad thing, or worse, inflation." Fourth Master Zhu reminded, "We have to plan carefully to ensure that this wealth can be used for our use."

"Dad, don't worry, I will listen to you." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand what inflation was. He held a golden statue tightly and asked curiously, "Is the Inca Empire as big as our Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course it can't be compared." Fourth Master Zhu smiled proudly, "Think about it, if anyone is sealed there in the future, it will be the real vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, the one who dominates."

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this is what the Supreme Emperor said about the feudal king and overseas.

…In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve again.

The royal family is becoming more and more prosperous now, and everyone gathers together in Kunning Palace to spend this warm night.

Prince Zhu Biao, his wives Chang Shi and Lu Shi, and their three-year-old son Zhu Xiongying, Qin King Zhu Xi and Princess Guanyinnu, Jin King Zhu Fan and Princess Xie Shi, and Yan King Zhu Di and Princess Xu Miaoyun were all present. The three married princes were enjoying themselves happily with their families.

The unmarried princes were also sitting around the table, laughing and laughing. Fourth Master Zhu looked around and noticed that Lu's belly was bulging, obviously she was pregnant. Not only that, but several of the imperial concubines were also pregnant. He secretly thought that Zhu Chongba's physical fitness was indeed good, and his ability to reproduce his offspring was truly admirable.

"Come, let's raise a toast to celebrate together!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of joy tonight and proposed to drink together.

The atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner was warm and peaceful. As the elder of the family, Fourth Master Zhu generously distributed red envelopes to everyone. This time he was extra generous, and the red envelopes were filled with gold leaves, which aroused everyone's admiration.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang joked: "It seems that the Supreme Emperor has made a fortune this time. There is probably a mountain of gold in the warehouse of his Daming Trading Company. From now on, if anyone in our family is short of money, he can ask him directly for it." That’s it.”

Empress Ma objected: "That's not possible. The gold belongs to Daming Trading Company, and I have shares."

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be angry and glared: "Hey, you bitch, why are your elbows turned out?"

Not to be outdone, Empress Ma responded: "Of course I have to do it for myself. With so much expenses in the harem, why don't we calculate the accounts carefully? Let me tell you, by then, in our Zhu family, you may be the poorest."

These words made everyone burst into laughter. They never expected that the mighty emperor could become the "poorest" one in the family.

……

Soon after the new year, good news came from the East Palace. The crown prince's concubine, Lu, was pregnant with a son. Zhu Yuanzhang named the newborn Zhu Yunwen, and planned a genealogy for his descendants. Zhu Biao's sons were designated as the "Yun" generation.

At the full moon banquet, Fourth Master Zhu also came to celebrate in person and held the great-grandson in his arms. However, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart. This child would become the biggest "trash" of the Zhu family in the future. It was because of his policy of reducing the vassal that led to Zhu Di's subsequent Jingnan campaign.

"I hope these unfortunate histories will never happen again." He prayed silently in his heart.

When leaving the East Palace, Wener held his hand tightly, frowned slightly, and whispered: "Fourth Master, I always feel that Mrs. Lu is a little unusual. Her temperament reminds me of the Witch Queen of the Thirteen Wings."

"Oh? Do you feel the same way?" Fourth Master Zhu frowned, "The Witch Queen has never appeared again since she disappeared in Fengyang. It is indeed a bit strange."

"You know the secret of the Witch Queen's longevity, right?" Wu'er asked.

"Of course I know. She relies on absorbing men's essence to continue her life." A chill flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes. "You should find a chance to investigate this Lu family. I don't want her to harm our Zhu family."

"I understand!" Weier nodded in agreement, "I will test her later."

"I will return to Northern Xinjiang in a while. You should help Queen Ma more in the capital." Fourth Master Zhu warned.

"Yes, I understand." Wen'er sighed softly, "If your Zhu family doesn't have Empress Ma, it will be broken up sooner or later."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

This Zhu Chongba is married to a good wife. He is surrounded by blessings and does not know how blessed he is.

……

The Lu Mansion, which is the residence of Lu Ben, the father of the crown prince's concubine Lu, is also celebrating lively, because Lu Ben has a grandson, and this grandson is also the grandson of the emperor.

In the backyard, a woman in red stood under the tree. It was Wu Yu, the Witch Queen of the Thirteen Wings. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master, with this plan of mine, you are Are you in the dark?”

Swish!
A figure fell next to her, it was Daruhuachi Aogu from Tanma Army Division. She said excitedly: "I heard that Lu has given birth? She is really a grandson of the emperor."

"Of course!" Wu Yu was a little excited, "This grandson will become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Then we can control this emperor by controlling the Lu family. Hahaha, who would have thought?"

"Witch Queen, you still have the upper hand." Ao Gu bowed.

……

Ps: The new book "Da Ming: Lu's poisonous emperor's grandson?" "The Twelve Talisman of the Beginning", with the support of the brothers who are still here, please read it.
