"How many of these seeds do you know?"
"Can we grow it here?"
In the palace.
Looking at some small cloth bags lined up on the ground, and some saplings packed in wooden barrels.
Chu Ze squatted on the ground and looked at them one by one very seriously.
While he was checking, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side also looked around curiously.
Behind them, Zhu Biao was comforting Zhu Xi, who had been beaten unjustly.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, was making noises from the sidelines, first knowing the story of the adventure between the woman from the Western Region and his second brother.
"I haven't done anything for a long time...I told them clearly at the time that the goods and people would be temporarily detained. As long as there are no problems, I will not only give them generous rewards, but also release the people directly."
"As a result, several men in the other party's caravan started cursing. After the guards around me translated, they knew they were cursing me. So I beat them all up."
"As a result, that woman clung to me for no reason."
"It's amazing. Even in a fight, you can get an admirer. Not bad, not bad!"
"Fourth brother, why do you speak so eccentrically?"
"Really? No, okay!"
"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's see what's going on with Chu Ze first."
While the three brothers were playing with each other, Chu Ze also roughly inspected the seeds of these plants.
Finally, he came to an embarrassing conclusion.
"Your Majesty... I'm so sorry. Among these things, I only know peanuts. Among those books, I know one is guava. I don't know the others at all!"
"."
Zhu Yuanzhang originally saw that after Chu Ze completed the inspection, he was still waiting happily for what conclusion he would give.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, I just waited for this sentence.
"You don't know me, so why are you still looking at me for so long? Are you pretending to understand?"
Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's complaint, the corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.
Why do you have the nerve to say this?
"Your Majesty, how can I know if I recognize him or not without looking? Is this called conscientiousness?"
"Okay, okay, I'll knock you down. What should I do now? These things don't know anything. Isn't it useless?"
"Just plant it. Once you plant it, you'll know what it will be."
"Plant... you said it's easy. Do you think it's so easy to plant these seeds? Have you ever planted it? Do you know that when planting land, you need to consider soil quality, moisture, season and temperature? You said Just sow it?"
When talking about farming, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side suddenly became interested.
As a pure mud-legged boy, he dare not say anything else, but when it comes to this kind of thing, he is an absolute expert!
In history, are there any few emperors who really know how to farm?
If he had thought of this before, Zhu Yuanzhang might have felt that the price had dropped a bit.
But after hearing Chu Ze talk a lot about the future, Lao Zhu only felt that he was awesome.
In particular, he had always wanted to find a powerful ancestor to recognize.
But after being told by Chu Zeyi.
Zhu Yuanzhang has now planned to write a family tree starting from his grandfather's generation in the future!
Grandpa, works in farming.
Dad, works in farming.
Son, the founding emperor!
Sun Tzu, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Great-grandson, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
How domineering this family tree is!
"Your Majesty, what you said is correct, right? Keep these seeds sealed for now, and then ask those people from the Western Regions how much they know and record them in detail."
"I'll make some preparations after I go back. These are not native plants and may have greater requirements on temperature or other things... To be conservative, I think it's best to use a greenhouse to grow seedlings."
"Do you know about the greenhouse?"
"."
Originally, Chu Ze didn't want to argue with Lao Zhu.
But the man's damn desire to win made him always feel that if the bar didn't move well, he would be really sorry for himself.
After Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze's somewhat disdainful eyes, his eyes immediately narrowed slightly.
This melon boy is itchy, isn't he?
I have heard of people using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty, but I have never heard of people using the sword of this dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty.
The greenhouse that this guy Chu Ze was talking about just now, you don’t need to think about it to know that it must be a thing of later generations.
This guy is clearly bullying people!
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will take some of these seeds and saplings back. You can save the rest first. Don't plant them all at once. It would be a waste if they are all gone."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take your second son back first. Then I'll build the greenhouse. He'll help prepare the manpower and materials."
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, which were clearly intended to bully others without respecting martial ethics, Chu Ze clapped his hands knowingly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly put work first.
After hearing what Chu Ze said, Lao Zhu couldn't say much even if he wanted to attack.
"Be more careful when you go back and ask clearly what kind of grain it is. Don't let it go to waste."
"Don't worry, I'm more anxious about this than you are."
Chu Ze didn't joke at all about the filling of Ming Dynasty's grain stocks.
He was indeed more anxious about this matter than Zhu Yuanzhang.
If there is not enough food to eat, then the population cannot explode.
If the population is not enough, the labor force will not be enough.
His plan can only remain on paper forever.
This is definitely not what Chu Ze wants to see.
"Prince Qin, come with me? Let's go do something serious."
After arriving next to Zhu Biao and the others, Chu Ze reached out and patted Zhu Xi's shoulder out of habit.
However, his slap made Zhu Ping jump up in pain.
He turned around and pointed at Chu Ze's nose fiercely and started to curse.
"I said, can you please stop touching me? I'm hurt all over my body now, brother...it hurts a lot!"
After hearing Zhu Xi's words, Chu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him with a half-smile.
And Lao Zhu naturally heard his son's complaints.
When I think about it, the second child finally changed his mind and did a good deed, but in the end he was unjustly beaten two or three times.
Lao Zhu, as a father, felt a little embarrassed for a while.
His face turned red, and he coughed awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"It's true that we wronged you for what happened this time to the second child. But you can't blame others for this... After all, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. You can't blame others for this either."
"But this time it was our mistake after all. We didn't investigate clearly, so we slapped you with a hat. Don't worry, big brother will naturally compensate you for this. Big brother, I want to apologize to you first."
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's embarrassment at this time, Zhu Biao, both as his son and as his eldest brother, could only stand up silently.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately took all the responsibility on himself.
Of course, although he only found out about it after Zhu Ping was beaten, this did not prevent him from admitting his mistake.
Who made him the prince, the eldest son, and the eldest brother?
He knew very well that his father was very proud of himself, so even if he misunderstood his second son, he would be embarrassed to admit his mistake at this time.
Regardless of whether this mistake was Zhu Biao's fault or not, he had to stand up and admit it at this time.
Otherwise, if there is a gap between father and son because of this matter in the future, wouldn't it be more gain than loss?
"Brother, it's okay, it's okay. Don't admit your mistake. This was originally something I didn't think carefully about, but if I brought people and things into the palace, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings, right?"
"But I really didn't think about what to do at the time! After I brought the person home, I originally wanted to go out and see if I could encounter any strange gadgets or talents."
"In the end, I didn't even have time to go out. So... I didn't think carefully this time. I won't dare to do it next time!"
Regarding the fact that Zhu Biao suddenly stood up to admit his mistake and took responsibility for it, Zhu Fang naturally knew that he was just taking the blame on his father's behalf.
Zhu Ping still knew what kind of temper his father had.
And since the eldest brother has already stood up, it is naturally impossible for him to keep a straight face and act like a petty person.
The key is that if he continues to keep a straight face, he might even get beaten!
It can be said that the two brothers are tacitly cooperating with each other in acting.
Once you admit your mistake and express your forgiveness, it is over.
As the key figure in the whole matter, Zhu Yuanzhang could only watch awkwardly from the sidelines as his two sons sang the double act.
Of course, at the same time, he had to silently bear the gaze of Queen Ma.
"Look at how sensible your sons are, but you are the one. This time you were unjustly spanked three times... You, no matter what, you have to give your children some compensation."
"Even if he is your son again, he is now a father. Don't hit the children easily in the future. The children have grown up and are not unreasonable people."
"That's what the girl said! We were indeed wrong this time. Let's be careful next time!"
"I promised readily, but if there is a next time, I probably won't be able to hold it back."
After the drama is over.
Chu Ze left with Zhu Xi and Zhu Di.
Not long after they left, Lao Zhu ordered someone to deliver a Feiyu suit and a token.
When Zhu Xi saw this, his eyes couldn't help but become hot.
These are Jin Yiwei's clothes and the token...
His father wanted him to dispatch the royal guards!
"Haha, this spanking is worth it... No, I'll be happy with another one! Hahaha... Chuze, wait for me, I'll go change my clothes!"
After getting the things, Zhu Xi laughed so hard that he almost started to twitch.
This is Jin Yiwei!
With his father's eyes and ears, his father has now given him the token of Jinyiwei. This undoubtedly means that he has forgiven him for his previous mistakes. It is also an affirmation of Zhu Xi.
You know, Jin Yiwei is the group of people who know the most secrets.
Being able to intervene in the affairs of the Jin Yiwei undoubtedly represented the importance his father placed on him.
The hard work during this period of time has finally paid off!
Zhu Ping was so excited that he didn't even have time to wait until he got home. He got directly into the carriage and began to change clothes quickly.
And when he put on a Feiyu suit and got off the carriage, his whole face was filled with pride.
After tidying up his clothes, he pretended to cough twice in front of Chu Ze and Zhu Di.
Then he turned around very angrily.
He looked at the two of them with a proud face.
"How's it going? Do you feel like I look particularly good in this dress? Hahaha, are you being... by me? No, no, I can't call myself the king now, I have to call myself the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. "
"You two ordinary people, are you shocked by the handsome appearance of this commander? Do you want to praise this commander for his wisdom and strength, like a heavenly being?"
"If you can't help but want to praise this commander, then you can do it. This commander will not think that you are trying to flatter me."
"After all, what you said is the truth."
Looking at Zhu Ming who was proud and even chattering after changing into a Feiyu suit.
Chu Ze and Zhu Di looked at each other dumbfounded, then turned around and left with black lines on their faces.
He kept mumbling as he walked.
"Yongle! Let's stop playing with your second brother in the future. He looks too stupid like this. I feel that after playing with him for a long time, stupidity will be contagious."
"Yeah! I feel the same way. It's better to keep a respectful distance from now on!"
Although it was said that Chu Ze and Zhu Di were muttering, their voices did not conceal anything.
Zhu Mingna listened to what the two said word for word.
Seeing the two people walking away, Zhu Ping hurriedly chased after them.
"I said... you two are too boring, aren't you? Even if you envy me, you can definitely say it openly! Why are you so yin and yang?"
"Hey...just wait for me! The commander is still injured, can't you just slow down?"
"Chu Ze, Fourth Brother~ Okay, ok, ok, why don't I stop pretending! Wait for me."
Facing Zhu Xi's call from behind, Chu Ze and Zhu Di silently extended their middle fingers backwards in perfect agreement.
Zhu Ping, on the other hand, quickly chased after them and immediately grabbed their shoulders.
The three of them walked towards Zhu Xi's Qin Prince's Mansion while laughing.
Moreover, when the three of them came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion and saw the group of merchants from the Western Regions who were detained by Zhu Ping, they learned about it from their mouths.
Among the seeds that Chu Ze and the others seized, apart from peanuts, most of them were the seeds of some beautiful flowers or some seeds that they did not know what they were.
To put it bluntly, I just brought these things because they were light and compact.
And those saplings are mostly fruit trees or landscape trees.
The reason why I brought them here was just to see if I could find a strange villain who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy these things.
After learning the news, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
However, disappointed, Chu Ze still asked Zhu Ping to give them a large sum of money.
The premise is that they need to spread the news that they used some unseen saplings and seeds to exchange a large sum of money with King Qin.
Especially spread to those merchants who also traveled to the Western Regions.
