In the morning, after the main court meeting has ended.
Royal Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
“Dad, I know you have your difficulties, but you also have to understand me.
This battle is not only fought for the people of the empire, but also for our family.
Dad's position is not right, so he has to do something to stop everyone's silence.
This battle must be fought. Once dad is done fighting it, you won’t have to fight it in the future. "
In the hall, Emperor Yongle leaned on the dragon chair, looking at the prince below who bowed his head and said seriously.
Next to the prince, there were also the kings of Han and Zhao sitting.
At this time, the prince lowered his head and sighed:
"Dad, my son really didn't say that he won't let you fight, but you have to look at the situation.
The empire has indeed prospered under your rule during these eleven years.
There is money in the treasury and grain in the granary.
People's lives will also start to get better.
But every time you want to get better, you have to use your troops.
This granary, the national treasury had just a little surplus, but you lost it in one battle.
Will this work? "
At this time, Emperor Yongle was about to say something, but the Crown Prince continued with a sad face:
"Of course, you haven't reached the point of resorting to violence yet.
Although they have been fighting for years, the people still have food to eat and live a peaceful life.
But we can't do this every time.
There must be money left in the treasury, and there must be surplus grain in the granary.
The current situation is that there is just enough money and just enough food to eat.
In the past few years, the empire has had good weather and good harvests every year.
A scene of prosperity.
Let’s not take advantage of this moment to quickly save money and stockpile food.
Just in case there is a flood in the south one day.
There is a severe drought in the north. What can we do to provide relief?
What can you do to appease the people?
By then there will no longer be dozens or hundreds of victims every day.
That's tens of thousands of people. Will these people eat us alive if they are desperate?
Could it be that the remnants of Jianwen started to rebel?
Dad, have you ever thought about this? "
Since the father spoke so sincerely, the Crown Prince naturally wanted to speak frankly to Emperor Yongle.
Rather than the previous situation of just having no money.
Emperor Yongle was not angry at the prince's words, but suddenly said:
"Third brother, show it to your elder brother."
Immediately, King Zhao handed some memorials to the prince.
The prince took it and looked at it with a puzzled look.
Emperor Yongle said seriously:
"This time is different from the past, this is the information collected by the spy arrested by Yuan'er.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
And this year, there is a low-cost and fast transportation tool such as a tricycle made by Yuaner.
Dad settled the matter.
In previous years, delivering one hundred kilograms of grain to the front line required a loss of sixty kilograms, but with this tricycle.
A maximum loss of 20 jins per 100 jins of grain will be lost.
After all the miscellaneous things, Dad asked the cabinet to do some calculations, and found that he only needed one-third of what he had spent in previous years. "
Three...one-third?
Upon hearing this, the prince closed the memorial in his hand.
Just one third? ! !
If you want to say that...
The prince blinked and said:
"Really only one-third?"
Emperor Yongle glared and said:
"Dad can still lie to you?!"
Prince: "..."
I've been deceived a lot in the past.
However, this time, the prince knew what was going on.
That tricycle is simply an artifact!
…………
Han Dynasty Palace.
"Ouch!!! Ouch!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
There was a scream like a Tom cat in the backyard, one after another.
Lu Yuan carried a hoe and dug up all the flowers raised by his mother.
A large open space was sorted out.
Lu Yuan has already ordered Li Er to bring back potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn for breeding.
These are all the big ones and fine varieties that Li Er found just now.
Naturally, this kind of breeding does not mean that Li Er can just plant it as soon as he gets it back.
Nature has to be cultivated and hybridized.
These potatoes are big, but that doesn’t mean they’re high yields.
It's possible that there's only one big one on this potato plant, so what's the use of it?
Therefore, Lu Yuan asked people to stir in the fields again.
Look for the kind that can produce many flowers on one plant.
Use the more numerous ones to crossbreed with the larger ones.
At that time, it will be divided into No. 1 strain, No. 2 strain, and No. 3 strain.
The next step is to find a house slave to watch and record it every day.
What is the weather like? Is it windy or rainy? What is the temperature?
For this reason, Lu Yuan also made a simple thermometer.
When the time comes, select the best of them and continue breeding.
If the variety is good and stable, it can be promoted nationwide!
Of course, normal cross-breeding won't be that simple.
It requires hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of experiments.
Speaking of which, I really want to pay tribute to Mr. Yuan.
The reason why Lu Yuan was able to do this was because of "Shen Nong".
Of course, this aspect also shows that Mr. Yuan = Shennong.
I guess Mr. Yuan is already a god in heaven, right?
Let Lingju go to the sky to take a look later~
Maybe you can actually see it~
just kidding.
By the time Lu Yuan finished all this work, it was almost noon.
After finishing his work, Lu Yuan suddenly started to think.
Oops, what a fool.
Lu Wenqing!
From the morning until now, don’t be beaten to death!
When Lu Yuan hurried over.
Twenty guards were seen squatting on the ground, panting heavily and sweating profusely.
Lu Wenqing, on the other hand, collapsed on the ground with a bruised nose and face, but still said loudly and hard:
"That's it?
Just like this, like this, like this? "
"keep going!
Tickle? !
You don’t even have the strength to hit someone? "
Lu Yuan: "..."
No, is this thing so durable?
It's no big deal for the one who was beaten, but the one who beat him is tired of it?
Of course, Lu Yuan also knew that, and it was estimated that the guards like him would not dare to really kill him.
Just hold back your energy.
At this time, when Lu Wenqing saw Lu Yuan coming, he immediately shouted:
"Is this all you have?
Do you dare to fight with me? See if I can beat you to death! "
Seeing Lu Wenqing in front of him being beaten so hard that he could barely open his mouth, yet he could still scream like this.
For a moment, Lu Yuan actually started to appreciate it.
I didn't expect the bones to be really hard.
Interesting.
As for competing with myself...
Lu Yuan was startled, then grinned and said:
"You are very brave, but no matter how brave you are, you are just an enemy of a hundred people."
When Lu Yuan came back from Gu's house last night, he stopped by Qing Cangsi.
The third uncle was not here, but it didn't matter. Lu Yuan went directly to ask someone to retrieve Lu Wenqing's information.
There are three ways to capture Lu Wenqing.
Treat them to guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.
It is impossible to treat guests. He is the prince of Han Dynasty and has a noble status.
How could he be called brother to his grandson, a seventh-grade editor of the Hanlin Academy?
Beheading?
I just tried it and it didn't work.
What Lu Yuan thought before was that the child was probably beaten lightly if he disobeyed.
But I didn't expect that Lu Wenqing was really a tough guy and followed his grandfather Lu Chongan's determination.
Then accept him as a dog.
And since you want to accept him as a dog, you have to lure him with benefits.
Needless to say, Lu Wenqing was stubborn and stubborn. He went out to fight with others every day, which was called a martial arts contest.
But unlike Lu Yuan, this beast, although Lu Wenqing is stubborn, he has a heart to serve the country.
Lu Yuan is a pure beast.
It's just that Lu Chongan wanted his son to be a scholar, but Lu Wenqing was a martial artist.
I have always wanted to be a general and kill with great force and make gold.
Lu Chongan disagreed.
Moreover, even if he agreed, it would be useless. The military attachés and civil servants of the Lieqian Dynasty had never dealt with him.
Lu Wenqing secretly joined the army several times, but as soon as he was recognized, he was kicked back.
So I have been unsuccessful.
Now that we know what Lu Wenqing wants, this matter is easy.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Wenqing with a smile and said seductively:
"Do you want to be the enemy of all people?"
