Cao Ah Man didn't pay much attention to the prince Li Jie at first. It wasn't until the emperor ordered him to send people to secretly monitor the eighth prince some time ago that he learned what Li Jie had done over the years. The emperor's unabashed appreciation in his words Even a blind man can see it.
After truly understanding it, Cao A'ao felt a little unbelievable. In his eyes, Li Jie was simply a typical example of a poor player with a good hand.
"Well, if you say that this eighth prince is a strange person, everyone looked away from him before."
When Cao A'ao said this, he pointed at it.
"Including that one, of course."
Cao Zhengchun took a breath when he heard this. The eighth prince must have hidden it so well that he managed to hide it from everyone.
A smile appeared on Cao Aman's lips when he saw the horrified look on his adopted son's face. His performance was not much better when he knew the details.
"The Sixth Prince you mentioned earlier is like an adult and a child when compared to this one. When it comes to the city, I am afraid no one can compare to this one. He has understood the principle of keeping a low profile and biding his time since he was a child. And no one can see through it, how respectable and terrifying it is!”
These guesses were also obtained by Cao Aguo's subsequent analysis. As the saying goes, a person can't suddenly appear for no reason. What Li Jiejie did in the palace was definitely not something that could be accomplished in just a few years. After all, it can only be that this person has deliberately hidden himself since he was a child, which is very scary.
Cao Zhengchun only saw his adoptive father sighing with emotion but did not explain the reason. It was as if he was scratching an itch, and his heart was like a cat scratching his head.
Seeing this, Cao Ah Man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and stopped trying to keep it secret.
"The things I said today came from my mouth and entered your ears. They are not meant for outsiders."
Cao Zhengchun even claimed that it was true, and upon seeing this, Cao Aman told everything Li Jie had done in recent years.
"First, the Eighth Prince achieved the status of a Grandmaster at a young age,"
"What!"
Cao Zhengchun suddenly heard the news and couldn't help but scream. This kind of thing was really unheard of. It was like a fantasy. It was simply unbelievable. If it hadn't come from his adoptive father's mouth, he wouldn't have believed that such a thing existed in the world. .
"Such talent, such talent"
Cao Aman frowned and snorted. Cao Zhengchun immediately woke up and hurriedly confessed to his adoptive father. It was really inappropriate to interrupt other people's speech, let alone the person who just spoke was his adoptive father. In fact, it was the adoptive father who just spoke. The news was so shocking that he lost consciousness.
Normally, Cao Ah Man was most afraid of others interrupting his speech, but the fact that he broke through to become a master at such a young age was really shocking, and Cao Zhengchun's reaction was understandable.
"Well, I know that this matter is really unbelievable. It has been hundreds of years since the founding of this dynasty, and someone who can become a grandmaster at such a young age is unprecedented, and I'm afraid there will be no one since.
Although Grandmasters are rare, there are still two Grandmasters in the imperial court. What people are really looking forward to is the future of this person. You must know that there has been no Grandmaster-level figure in the world for nearly a thousand years. The worst-case scenario is that eight The prince cannot break through the Grand Master, but he can at least be on par with Zhou Zi, who was said to be closest to the Grand Master five hundred years ago. "
The Grand Master's mastery of the vitality of heaven and earth is superb. He can trigger celestial phenomena with a wave of his hand. He is invincible without human power. The tactics of human sea have lost their meaning in the face of such beings.
In the years when the great masters are extinct, if the Ming Empire can produce a great master, then it will be easy to sweep through the wilderness, quell the empire, reorganize the mountains and rivers, and complete the great path of unifying the world. This is something that even the founding ancestors did not have. Great work accomplished.
At this time, Cao Zhengchun was still in a state of confusion, and Cao Aman continued.
"This is just one of the reasons, and it is not the most important. The eighth prince has given too many surprises.
Secondly, you should be familiar with the great epidemic in the Lianghu area in the 13th year of Yuankang. When everyone was at a loss what to do, it was the eighth prince who stepped forward. He was the one who secretly made plans to wipe out everything in the epidemic area. The management is well organized and comprehensive.
You must know that this man did not reveal his identity as a prince at that time, but he was still able to easily convince the officials of the two lakes. He was as good as his arms and his fingers, and he was completely different from a newcomer who had never been exposed to officialdom.
In the end, with the secret help of the Eighth Prince, the imperial court successfully controlled the epidemic. If the Eighth Prince had not gone deep into the epidemic area to find out the cause and prepare medicine, the epidemic might not have killed only tens of thousands of people. The epidemic prevention manual left by the eighth prince was a treasure to the people at the imperial hospital. The imperial doctors who participated in the epidemic prevention almost regarded it as a god and called Bian Que alive. "
Cao Ah Man paused briefly here to let Cao Zhengchun digest it, and continued after a while.
"Thirdly, the current low price of salt is also related to the Eighth Prince. Eaters are the foundation of the people, and salt is the most important thing. When the Eighth Prince traveled to the Huaixi Salt Fields, he sympathized with the suffering of salt households and specially improved it. The method of making salt was then reported by the guardians. In the past two years, the new method of making salt has become popular, doubling the production of sea salt.
Fourthly, when the Eighth Prince passed by a deserted village and taught farmers about the new composting method, the yield per mu of autumn harvest that year increased by three levels compared with previous years. What is this concept? Once popularized, the annual field tax of Ming Dynasty will also increase by three levels. , the key is that the new composting method has wide sources of materials, low cost, and is suitable for most areas. The new composting method promoted by the imperial court in the past two years was also proposed by this man.
"Fifth"
Cao Zhengchun was already a little numb from the shock. He was dumbfounded and stared at Cao Ah Man with his eyes dazed.
"Ninth, the theory of the Eighth Prince's daily communication with friends is also thought-provoking. It contains a strategy that understands the past and the present, and a talent that knows the world.
It's a pity that this person is now living in Zhuangzi on Huangshan Mountain, and he is even entangled with women from the world. As a noble man from Tianhuang, how can he get involved with people from the world? That's all. Your Majesty has done something for this person. The thought of breaking precedent.
However, what is surprising is that this man has no intention of taking charge of the empire. His Majesty summoned him to return to the palace, but he dared to resist and disrespect the decree. Your Majesty was very disappointed with him. The last time your Majesty told me about this matter, he still In a fit of rage.
Zhengchun, please don’t underestimate this person because of this. Your Majesty shows great love and deep responsibility! There is no guarantee that this person will change his mind one day. If he comes back, others may not have a chance at all.
To put it bluntly, these princes fought for things that others did not want. "
After Cao A'ao finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun finally came back to his senses after a long cup of tea. Li Jie's deeds shocked him like never before. In his more than twenty years of life, he had not been shocked as many times as he was today.
In Wuzheng Villa, a young man in white shouted with his hands on his hips.
"Hey! Zhu Wuwang! You speak! When are you going to hand me the complete version of the Vajra Indestructible Magic? I am a boy and I meet the requirements perfectly."
