In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything about how to grow rice, but he knew nothing about it.
But his views are still very advanced. Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his way of thinking was a dimensionality reduction attack for people today.
However, he means well, and he has no malicious intentions!
He just wants to make the lives of the people under his rule better.
With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he must consider such things. After all, food is the most important thing for the people.
If the people do not have enough to eat, then he will not have a reliable source of troops, and he will not be able to win in future wars.
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that a great man once said that there is no secret to fighting a war, as long as you get the support of the people, that is enough.
Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the Nine-Character Mantra, and he also cared very much about the people. In this way, the future victory will definitely be his.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think too much about these things.
He just wants to do everything right in front of him and then have a plan for the future. In fact, this is how he does things.
But Zhu Yuanzhang felt very itchy when he saw these people planting rice seedlings, and he also wanted to try it.
But the guards under him refused to let him in, saying they were afraid that there were poisonous insects here that would harm Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to refute these things, but he felt that the guards also had good intentions. His refutation could only show that he was petty-minded.
In Jinling City, Zhu Yuanzhang's safety would generally not be a problem.
However, what the guards said is right. If there are any poisonous insects, then if Zhu Yuanzhang is injured by the poison, it will be the responsibility of the guards.
Maybe Wei Chen selected him from among his bodyguards.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang still respects these guards under him very much.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer insisted on his opinions.
He squatted on the edge of the field, and then spoke some county dialect to the rice transplanters.
“How much rice can one acre of rice field here produce?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually.
"It's about 300 pounds now, and about 400 pounds at the best time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to remember that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the rice yield per mu reached 460 kilograms per mu.
At that time, the commodity economy was developed and iron tools were widely used, which led to an increase in agricultural output.
It can be seen that the current war still has a great impact on this agricultural production.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he followed the method he said, he could at least increase the yield per mu to about 500 kilograms. At least it should be possible to surpass the maximum yield in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In Chinese history, Tang Zong and Song Zu were two very powerful figures.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was publicly elected as the Khan of Heaven by people of all ethnic groups, and the economic prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty founded by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin reached its highest peak in history?
Most of the four great inventions appeared in the Song Dynasty. Economic development can promote technological progress.
Technological progress has once again stimulated economic development.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was also thinking about one thing, that is, the Northern Song Dynasty was so rich and had so many troops, but it had little combat effectiveness, and it was eventually destroyed.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there must be some problems, but he did not have time to study this problem now. When he has the opportunity in the future, he would study it carefully.
In the future, when the Ming Dynasty unifies the country, there are some things that he must learn from the experiences and lessons that led to the failure of the Tang and Song Dynasties. At least he will not make detours.
Zhu Yuanzhang thinks very long-term. In fact, this is what he should think about.
As a leader, if you don't want to do something, then you won't do it at all.
If Zhu Yuanzhang thought about fighting every day, then his attention would be on the war, and he might not take into account people's livelihood.
In fact, people's livelihood is the greatest capital. Only when people's lives are better, you will be able to do other things with ease.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang did not like war, but he had no choice. Now he could only use war to unify the country. This was no choice.
Because it is impossible for his opponents to lay down their weapons on their own. Everyone wants to be the emperor. How is that possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the commander's mansion. After all, he felt that he was outside, and the guards around him seemed very nervous.
In order to make their work less intense, Zhu Yuanzhang still supported these guards very much, so he came back early.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked twice more at the guard who gave him advice.
It seems that this guard is also very responsible, and Zhu Yuanzhang likes responsible people.
In fact, it is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang is so partial. If a person does something carelessly, how can anyone like such a person?
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the commander's residence, Liu Bowen came to ask for an audience.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself that it was really fast this time. It seemed that he asked Liu Bowen to do this thing, which was related to Liu Bowen's vital interests, so Liu Bowen did it faster.
Zhu Yuanzhang also felt this, but he did not blame Liu Bowen.
Because everyone is very interested in their own salary.
After all, people must first be able to live before they can do other things.
If he can't survive with all the money he earns, how can you ask him to work for you?
"Commander, please review it. These are some rules for military merit substitution that I have initially written. Please consider it, Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a look and found that Liu Bowen's writing was quite detailed.
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang instituted a reward and punishment regulations.
His regulations are relatively broad, and many things are not clearly stipulated.
Liu Bowen did this very clearly.
"Where's Bowen? You've worked really hard. Are you free? If you are free, let's play a game of chess!"
"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, please, Commander!"
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to chat with Liu Bowen.
Because it was not convenient to speak in this handsome tent, they went to the study room of the handsome manor.
The two of them started playing chess. Of course they were playing Chinese chess!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his chess playing skills were terrible.
However, it turns out that he has also read several chess records.
He felt that if he played chess with Liu Bowen at this time, at least his loss would not be so ugly!
Because he knew that Liu Bowen was smarter, that was for sure.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Liu Bowen would not let go. That is to say, he had to make some moves that he should not have made, and then deliberately let Zhu Yuanzhang win. Is this possible?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and felt that this was entirely possible.
After all, he is also Liu Bowen's boss, and he will take care of Liu Bowen's emotions.
Then the two of them played chess and talked.
"Bowen, I know your hometown is Qingtian. Are you still used to it during the time you have been in Jinling?"
