The emergence of cotton greatly exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
This also made Zhu Yuanzhang happy to see potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn planted in his imperial garden.
Not only that, he also planned a piece of land to grow cotton.
Originally, Zhu Zhen thought that this would be the end. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's land had been used up.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang saw the remaining potatoes and corn seedlings, he was unwilling to waste them.
Even when Zhu Zhen said he wanted to take these potato and sweet potato seeds to the manor for planting, Zhu Yuanzhang was still reluctant to part with them.
"No, now that these seeds are in our hands, we naturally have to plant them all, and we can't waste any of them!!"
"But Father, your place is already full of plants and there is no room left for planting!!"
"How come there is no place for planting? How can there be no room for planting in such a big palace? We can just take out any palace and plant these things!!"
As the largest landowner in the world, how could Zhu Yuanzhang have no land?
Therefore, he was very unconvinced by Zhu Zhen's words.
After saying this, he directly designated a palace.
"We remember that Concubine Da Ding grew a lot of flowers in her palace, and the flower fertilizer in them is very good!!"
"Moreover, their palace was drenched with bird droppings. Bird droppings were everywhere. There must be plenty of fertilizer!!"
"We think Concubine Da Ding's palace is good, and it can be used to grow potatoes for us!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang not only thought this way, but also did it.
When the messenger appeared in Concubine Da Ding's palace, Concubine Da Ding was overjoyed.
"Hahaha! That's great, I know that His Majesty has not forgotten me, and His Majesty still remembers me!!"
"Look, it has only been so long before His Majesty has remembered me. This time, I will rise, and no one can stop my rise!!"
"Those who offend me and those who see my jokes must pay the price!!"
"Let's go together with me to receive His Majesty's decree!!"
Hearing what Concubine Da Ding said, the maids in her palace were also very happy.
After all, these people are all the ones who got the concubine. When the concubine gets the favor, their status will naturally rise.
Now seeing that Concubine Da Ding is about to rise, this is definitely a great joy for them.
When the eunuch who delivered the order said that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to change the palace for Concubine Da Ding, Concubine Da Ding was extremely happy.
Her current palace is already excellent.
Not only is the area large, but the green plants and landscaping are also outstanding.
Among the palaces in the harem, he can definitely be ranked among the top five.
Although the bird pooped on it and caused evil, it did not affect its magnificence.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yuanzhang had to change the palace for her.
This made Concubine Da Ding immediately elated, and she had a rough guess about her future position.
Without even saying it, she had already secured the second position in the harem.
At this moment, Concubine Da Ding couldn't stop the smile on her face.
She also felt that this was what she deserved. After all, she had been grounded by Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, and Zhu Yuanzhang should really compensate her well.
However, when she heard the name of the new palace, she was stunned.
"Shui Han Gong? I heard you correctly, right? Are you sure it's Shui Han Gong? Isn't that the old man next to Leng Gong?"
"Empress, you heard me right, you are going to Shuihan Palace!!"
"How is this possible? Shouldn't His Majesty need me and reward me?"
Shuihan Palace was too small, only one-fifth of her current palace.
Moreover, its yard is full of dead grass and there is no greening at all.
Compared with Concubine Da Ding's current palace, Shuihan Palace is simply a slum.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the identity represented in it.
Concubine Da Ding lives in the current palace. Although she is banned, her status is still noble.
Once she lives in Shuihan Palace, she is nothing. Even palace maids with some qualifications can look down on her.
None of the people she had offended would let her go.
Thinking of this, Concubine Da Ding's face became ferocious.
"Impossible, how is this possible? How could your Majesty send me to Shuihan Palace? It's fake, this must be a fake, it must be you who is pretending to pass on the imperial edict!!"
"Empress, Your Majesty's imperial edict is here. It is impossible for us to falsely convey the imperial edict, let alone the courage to falsely convey the imperial edict!!"
"Then...who occupies my palace? Is it...some new bitch?"
"Well, it's not the case! His Majesty said that the land in the Queen's Palace is fertile and covered with bird droppings, so the land must be farmed here!!"
"Planting, farming? Your Majesty actually kicked me out for farming??"
At this time, Concubine Da Ding's eyes were filled with incredulity.
She never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would drive her out for such a reason.
This was definitely a huge blow to her.
Even from a certain perspective, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, she might not even be as good as the vegetables in Zhu Yuanzhang's fields.
Thinking of this, she felt despair, and she no longer had the vigor she had before.
She even ignored her sons and sat there in a daze all day, as if she was stupid.
While she was still grounded, her life had completely lost hope. Even everyone around her had run away, leaving no one left.
If her two sons weren't princes and there were a few people around her, she probably wouldn't even be able to take care of herself.
When Zhu Zhen knew this, he didn't express much, just smiled slightly.
Previously, he had a fight with Concubine Da Ding.
Now looking at it again, Concubine Da Ding is no longer his match. There is a world of difference between them.
Zhu Yuanzhang also didn't care about Concubine Da Ding.
By making this arrangement, he also had the intention of showing favor to Zhu Zhen.
As for whether Zhu Zhen accepted such an overture, it actually didn't matter, he just did it casually.
After Zhu Yuanzhang planted potatoes and sweet potatoes in his imperial garden, he was thinking about planting potatoes and sweet potatoes in the manor.
Compared with the potatoes and sweet potatoes grown in the manor, the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by Zhu Yuanzhang in the imperial garden were only small.
The manor that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Zhu Zhen was so large that it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, once the best manor is planted once, it will be enough for the people of the entire Ming Dynasty to plant.
In this way, it can be solved once and for all, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can have enough food and wear warm clothes.
For this reason, Zhu Zhen specially cultivated him in his space for a few more days before going to the manor.
However, after becoming the manor, everything was different from what Zhu Zhen had imagined.
