Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

With the earnest expectations of Lao Zhu and Su Ran.

The special envoy sent by Chen Xuan traveled day and night to deliver all the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

When I opened the lid of the box, I saw piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes inside.

There are also some miscellaneous crops mixed in.

Su Ran couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"That's right, that's right."

Su Ran held up a pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes and murmured.

Being able to get even one of these two crops would be enough to go down in history.

Chen Xuan, this bastard, was lucky enough to get all the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked very carefully, and asked the envoy one after another about the planting status on the island.

I will give all the soldiers who participated in the battle this time the fourth level of military merit.

As for Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan.

As long as the planting is successful, the title will be promoted to Marquis and the country will be passed down!

Su Ran originally proposed to bake two to try, but Lao Zhu picked up his belt and chased him.

Then he warned him sternly: "From now on, you don't need to worry about anything.

Didn’t you say that the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is high?

Whether you can plant these things or not is up to you.

If you don’t have twenty dan by then, we will skin you!"

After saying the harsh words, he left here angrily.

After threatening Su Ran, Lao Zhu left angrily.

But his steps were obviously much lighter than before.

It is estimated that at this moment, he no longer knows how beautiful it is.

Su Ran could only stand up and rub her butt.

Find the Agricultural College and let them figure it out.

"...Su Jijiu, are you sure this thing can produce several kilograms per mu?"

The Jijiu from the Agricultural College’s eyes widened.

Looking at Su Ran in disbelief.

He picked up a sweet potato, looked at it, and said, "It looks like a radish.

They are all collected from the ground, okay, then "Nine Eight Three" will be used as a sacrificial wine,

Cultivate potato vines first and then plant them one by one.

Whether our Agricultural College can start this time, it’s now!”

The Agricultural College's libation seems to be very encouraging.

Say something.

All the officials and students of the Agricultural College present were immediately shocked.

After explaining all the nonsense about the Agricultural College, Su Ran returned to the Royal Academy.

Found Chen Xuan who looked haggard.

This time, for this pile of sweet potatoes, he took his men all the way for 800 miles in a hurry.

From the seaport to Jinling, there are no train tracks laid in this area.

So he had a very hard time traveling all the way.

In Su Ran's view, this is understandable.

After all, Chen Xuan was a member of the third and fourth ranks of the imperial court, and he was always alone. It was only because of his outstanding performance in the navy that he was favored by Zhu Zhu.

"...Old Chen, don't drink anymore. You're going to have to hurry up for eight hundred miles."

Su Ran ordered the canteen to serve food and said: "After dinner,

First sleep in the guest house for one night to relax. "

"Thank you very much."

Chen Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and she covered her head and said, "It's okay if you can give me an explanation.

This time I go back, Brother Su, do you have anything else to remind me?"

"His Majesty has agreed to set up a shipyard."

Su Ran said: "You have to take on this job.

When the time comes, the academy will send you some good players. "

Chen Xuan frowned upon hearing this.

After hearing what Su Ran said, he asked, "You won't offend the Yu family because of this, right?"

The Yu family mentioned by Chen Xuan was Yu Tonghai, the founding general.

It was also a naval family in the imperial court that specialized in water warfare.

It's just that the Yu family doesn't have much influence in Jinling City.

But occupying the land of Chaohu is equivalent to a prince.

The family has been very prosperous to this day.

The previous times Lao Zhu cleaned the court did not affect the Yu family.

What's even more strange about Su Ran is that Lao Zhu has a temper that can't be rubbed out of his eyes.

How could they tolerate the Yu family occupying Chaohu and creating a de facto separatist regime in the Ming Dynasty.

But it is obvious that Zhu has now begun to check and balance the Yu family.

After all, Chaohu, where the Yu family is stationed, is close to the southeast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

If he said that the Yu family had no connection with the Jiangnan gentry and powerful families, he would not believe it even to death.

So I have been using Chen Xuan this time when I went overseas.

And he continued to promote the generals under Chen Xuan.

"In short, Chen, please remember one sentence.

Su Ran warned: "When the emperor praises you, you must not express your merits.

You are right to blame everything on His Majesty.

If this thing is done, I can't guarantee anything else.

There is no way to escape the position of a Chuan Guan Nei Hou. "

Chen Xuan also has a long history in officialdom.

Naturally, the truth behind this is clearly understood in his heart.

He was greatly moved by Su Ran's nonchalant reminder.

This shows that Su Ran is very fond of him.

Maybe Lao Zhu will have to rely on him for bigger things in the future, so he needs his loyalty even more.

At that moment, he used water instead of wine and drank a large bowl with Su Ran.

Then he hurried back to the guest house to rest.

Su Ran stood up and rubbed his head painfully.

Lao Zhu is the best among human beings.

The little tricks he used to make foreign workers couldn't be hidden from him at all.

It is impossible to say that there will be many seas in the future and I will not be able to plan in them.

The end of Hongwu's 20th year ended in such a muddle.

Under Su Ran's leadership, the court paid a large salary to officials.

There are also various miscellaneous rewards and so on, which suddenly shrink the treasury a lot.

Then large sums of money were poured in.

In the blink of an eye, the treasury was filled to the brim.

But Lao Zhu, who always remembered beatings but not eating, started to curse in the palace.

How happy I was when I saw the big infrastructure construction.

Now when money is withdrawn from the treasury, he feels very distressed.

"...This bastard is trying to make me angry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

Looking at the financial reports and budget tables.

He said angrily: "Just look at what he has done to the national treasury?

If it weren’t for the money we extorted from southeast Jiangsu and Zhejiang regardless of face,

Now I have to go begging for food with a dog-beating stick!"

Looking at the financial reports and budgets all over the floor, "Lao Zhu was furious. [013404319 Feilu 123401351]

"...Look at you."

Empress Ma knew that Lao Zhu was stingy again, so she consoled her and said, "Although Su Ran spent a lot of money, she also made a lot of money back.

Isn't the treasury filled by him now? Don't be angry.

This year is a year of major construction, and it is the time when money is most expensive.

Isn’t it true that even the boss is staying in Chang’an and can’t celebrate the New Year?”

After listening to Queen Ma's persuasion, Lao Zhu could only sigh.

"Now all the officials in the court have been replaced."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "I feel even more unhappy now."

Nowadays, there are no civil servants in the court who were pretentious and arrogant in the past.

Officials all do practical things and tell the truth.

Coupled with the increase in salary, work efficiency has increased dozens of times.

But Lao Zhu was even more troubled. He felt that he was now a human-shaped jade seal.

All matters big and small are handled by the cabinet in an orderly manner.

Simply submit the memorial, add comments at the back, and then have Lao Zhu seal it and that's it.

If you don't do anything every day, you just get stamped.

Many times, the eunuch guards guarding outside heard the banging and sealing sounds inside.

As soon as she heard Lao Zhu complaining like this, Queen Ma immediately laughed angrily.

He grabbed him hard and said, "Zhu Chongba!

What do you want?

In the past, those officials worked as foreign workers and deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates.

You are not happy that you are acting contrary to the truth. Now the new officials are telling the truth.

You are still unhappy when you do practical things and do your duty honestly.

Don’t you even look at how much the court’s operational efficiency has improved compared to before!

Many tedious little things will be handled directly by the cabinet for you.

Otherwise, you will be exhausted to death!

You still have the nerve to complain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked embarrassed and couldn't help but snorted.

He began to miss the corrupt court before.

He is praised every now and then every day.

It’s not like now, when you open your mouth to report but keep your mouth shut about the data.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying had rushed back with his schoolbag on his back.

"Grandpa, grandma, grandson is back!"

"The hero is back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he saw his eldest grandson.

He quickly picked up all the financial reports scattered on the ground.

Smiling, he took his eldest grandson and took a closer look.

Zhu Xiongying entered Su Ran's private school at the age of eight and rarely returned to the palace since then.

Now he has officially entered the first class of the Royal Academy.

Looking at his heroic eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied.

It seems that Su Ran has trained the eldest grandson.

"A hero."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pulled his grandson: "Grandpa is going to take a test on you today."

"Grandpa, take the exam!"

Zhu Xiongying bit a piece of snack in his mouth and said confidently: "Whether it is arithmetic, strategy, art of war, agriculture, astronomy and geography!

But grandpa, you can't be cheating. You want to test my eight-part essay.

Those who are just talking about words are not good. "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and hugged his grandson.

"Don't worry, even if you fail the exam, we won't teach your eldest grandson a lesson.

I will teach you a lesson for that useless teacher!"

When he said this, he gritted his teeth.

The angry Queen Ma gave her a hard beating.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was assessing his eldest grandson, Su Ran was smiling and receiving the heavy gift.

After Xu Miaoqing successfully gave birth to a son.

Su Ran finally doesn't have to worry about the consequences of giving birth to a daughter who will be raped by a pig.

And this time when a son was born, half of the nobles in Jinling City came to give him gifts.

The gifts were heavy and numerous, and the whole courtyard was filled.

Su Ran was not polite at all.

After all, these nobles made a fortune in the wool trade...

The only pity is.

Lao Zhu is furious about the budget he has made this year.

Otherwise, the palace will inevitably have to collect a lot of wool.

Now all the nobles have a common understanding.

That is, if you want to get rich, you should follow Su Ran's footsteps.

After some pleasantries of changing glasses, Xun Sai took the initiative to start chatting.

Su Ran rolled her eyes: "Didn't His Majesty give an order?

Prepare to expand the Tianjin city and arrange for refugees to enter!"

All the nobles present are excellent people. When they heard it, their eyes immediately lit up!

As soon as he heard this, he immediately realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to impose a sea ban.

Lao Zhu has also realized that the sea outlets such as Songjiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou have been completely controlled by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Workers' Front.

Therefore, avoid the influence of these local tycoons.

Take places like Tianjin and Qingdao as the entry points for launching sea bans.

....."

"

Lan Yu was the first to speak, asking: "Nowadays, which goods are the most profitable in maritime trade?"

"...The biggest purchases are naturally silk and porcelain.'

Su Ran said: "However, the best-selling product is cotton.

Small profits but quick turnover!

Brothers who have land at home can start growing cotton.

The academy has just developed the cotton gin and

textile machine

We are planning to set up several large-scale factories, and those who are willing can invest in them.

If you don't want to, you can build your own factory, and the college will give you a preferential price. "

When the nobles heard this, they all started talking about it.

Some anxious nobles had already left the banquet with excuses.

At this moment, another housekeeper came outside the door and posted a message in tears.

The housekeeper Lao Xue immediately shouted: "The Yuesi Hou family is giving you a big gift!

One three-foot-long blood coral, fifty South Sea large pearls, and nineteen square meters of emerald!"

Look at the precious gift that was given.

All the nobles present took a deep breath.

This gift is truly unique.

When did Marquis Yuesi hook up with Su Ran, and their relationship is so good?

All the nobles present looked at Su Ran with an intriguing expression.

Looking at the smiling butler in front of him, Su Ran knew what was going on.

In the past few years, the Yu family has not been involved in the court, and has been living as a rich man in Chaohu.

It would be strange if he had no connection with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols.

This time, he probably wanted to use the Yu family's connections to follow Su Ran's path.

He immediately walked up to the gift steward and said, "Marquis Yue Xi is the elder.

The gift given this time was too heavy and Su couldn't bear it. After the child's 100-day banquet,

I will pay you a visit in person!"

In the Palace of Qianqing.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished the examination of his eldest grandson, had an old face and was stretched longer than a donkey.

His face turned blue and white.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the question of how to measure the wealth of a place from taxation.

The eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying, took the test paper and complained in a disgraceful manner: "Grandpa Huang, who did you ask to ask the questions? Isn't this too hasty?"

Queen Ma suppressed her smile and her face turned red from suppressing it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "Tell me about 3.5, why is this question so careless?"

"To measure the wealth of a place, you can't just look at taxes."

Zhu Xiongying said plausibly: "It depends on the comprehensive income of the people, the total grain output, whether the business is prosperous, and even the number of private schools and the birth rate.

We cannot simply look at the size of the place and the amount of taxes. "

Looking at the eloquent grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.

Suppress this feeling of shame and anger.

He reached out and stroked the eldest grandson's hair: "Okay, okay, Xiongying is fine, go down and play."

Your grandpa and grandma have something to say. "

After Zhu Xiongying ran out of the hall [Empress Ma finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"...Su Ran, this bastard."

Zhu Yuanzhang's chest rose and fell rapidly.

It took him a while to calm down: "How did he teach his children?"

Empress Ma finally held back her laughter and said, "What's wrong with Xiongying?"

Didn't even you, a grandfather, get asked?"

As she said this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and burst into laughter.

"...Where is this bastard?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to ask the eunuch beside him.

"Reply to Your Majesty."

The eunuch immediately said: "Princess Miaoqing is giving birth, and a hundred-day banquet is being held at home.

"Hey, this kid, Miaoqing didn't even tell us when she gave birth to a baby!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "This kid has rebelled!"

"Do I dare to trouble you about the matter of a woman giving birth?"

Queen Ma smiled and said: "He told me about School Disciple before,

I also gave you something as a reward, but I didn’t tell you because you were busy. "

"Well, that's okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Publish our decree and confer the title of second-class Yunqi Lieutenant on his son.

Give gold and silver coins. ".
