royal palace.
After arranging some things.
Emperor Yongle thought for a while, then rode the dragon to the East Palace.
Regarding this matter, Emperor Yongle suddenly wanted to hear about his other grandson.
What a great saint, Lu Qing thought.
Don't know why.
Emperor Yongle just wanted to listen.
After arriving at the East Palace, Emperor Yongle saw the princess changing Lu Qing's dressing.
Lu Qing is almost healed of Lian Yushan's injury.
Just change the medicine a few times and it'll be fine.
Fortunately, no root cause of disease was left.
Emperor Yongle was very satisfied with Lu Qing.
Able in literature and martial arts.
Eighteen-year-old Lu Qing has already seen a model of Mingjun.
As soon as Emperor Yongle arrived, people from the East Palace immediately came out to see him.
The Crown Princess and Lu Qing also wanted to welcome Emperor Yongle into the main palace.
Emperor Yongle, on the other hand, smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No, grandpa will come to see you. I'll have something to do later."
Seeing this, the Crown Princess dismissed everyone and left herself.
In the front yard, only Emperor Yongle, Lu Qing, and a red-robed eunuch were left.
"How's it going? Is your arm okay?"
Emperor Yongle sat on a chair nearby and asked with a smile.
Lu Qing, on the other hand, swung the windmill and said with a smile:
"It's okay, grandpa, look.
My mother is just worried, and if she insists on getting another dose of medicine, everything will be fine. "
Seeing Lu Qing's lively appearance, Emperor Yongle quickly said:
"Okay, okay, don't wave. Don't wave. What else will happen to you?"
Lu Qing chuckled and then stopped.
Afterwards, Emperor Yongle sighed slightly and said:
"Do you blame grandpa for what happened to Lian Yushan?"
Lu Qingdang shook his head and said:
"No, I am the emperor's grandson, so it should be so!"
Lu Qing spoke the truth.
After listening to Lu Qing's words, Emperor Yongle nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Emperor Yongle picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said calmly:
"Lu Qing, what do you think of the outcome of this expedition?"
result?
idea?
Lu Qing looked at Emperor Yongle strangely, wasn't this already perfect?
The other party surrendered voluntarily.
Then a settlement is reached.
This is even better than what we originally wanted to achieve.
It is already the most perfect of perfections.
Any other ideas?
Lu Qing doesn't understand.
When Emperor Yongle saw Lu Qing's appearance, he put down his teacup and said softly:
"Do you think this matter can have a better outcome?"
"for example……"
"Completely solve the problem of the Gilded Dynasty."
solve it completely?
What does it mean?
Lu Qing was a little confused.
Emperor Yongle said expressionlessly at this time:
"for example……
Completely annex the Gilded Dynasty, and will not leave any resistance. "
Lu Qing: "???"
Don't you want to keep your hair?
this……
How could this gilded dynasty not resist?
this……
Does his grandfather want to kill the entire Gilded Dynasty? ?
Even the common people are killed?
This...isn't this a bit...
While Lu Qing looked stunned, Emperor Yongle said with a smile:
"It's okay, grandpa is just curious.
You can say whatever you want, and Grandpa will listen to whatever you want.
No matter what you say, it doesn’t count.
Just treat it as a casual chat between grandpa and grandson.
Grandpa just wants to ask you, now that the Gilded Dynasty has surrendered, what should happen next? "
Lu Qing blinked.
Then he started to talk about his own opinions.
In fact, there is nothing new.
That is, the two sides opened cities to each other and conducted trade.
Or some mess.
Belonging is a cliché.
Anyway, Lu Qing was talking and Emperor Yongle was listening.
As for whether Emperor Yongle listened well.
No one knows this.
Anyway, after Lu Qing finished speaking, Emperor Yongle nodded and stood up.
He smiled and patted Lu Qing's shoulder and said:
"That's right, he is indeed Grandpa's great grandson.
Grandpa is hosting a banquet tonight, so go there early.
Grandpa made a lot of things you like to eat. "
After that, Emperor Yongle left.
Lu Qing looked at his grandfather's back and blinked.
Some of the questions my grandfather asked me before, after I finished speaking, my grandfather would do the same.
But this time...
Lu Qing had an inexplicable feeling...
This time I said it wrong.
He didn't talk about his grandfather's heart...
In other words...my grandfather already had the answer in his mind.
I just wanted to hear if my answer was the same as what he was thinking.
But obviously...
This time, I was all wrong...
On the way back, Emperor Yongle leaned against Long Chu with an expressionless face and said nothing.
…
night.
The palace hall.
This banquet is not a family banquet.
A lot of people were invited.
It's more like a celebration party.
Not only his three sons, but also his family members.
There are also the three ministers of the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministries, and generals like Lu Wenqing who have made meritorious service in Mobei.
Very lively.
After all, for such a big event, it is natural for everyone to celebrate it.
At auspicious times, the Ministry of Rites sets off fireworks.
In the main hall, everyone was in high spirits, pushing cups and changing cups.
Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan also smiled and gave you a cup and me a cup.
Su Liyan and Lingju couldn't come to such an occasion.
Of course, these two people wouldn't care.
Speaking of which, these two women met first and have always gotten along well.
The two of them should be in the two warm pavilions now, with Lingju reading a notebook and Su Liyan designing clothes.
Design high heels and so on.
"Your grandson has been doing a good job recently. Many officials' homes in this city have been renovated by your grandson?"
Emperor Yongle raised his head and took a sip of wine, looking at Song Qijie below and suddenly said.
Song Qijie was startled for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said with some embarrassment:
"yes……"
Then Emperor Yongle grinned again and said:
"Learned from my grandson?"
Song Qijie was even more embarrassed and said:
"yes……"
Then Emperor Yongle nodded and said:
"It's very good. It's better to learn this than to hang a bag of books.
Why don't you let your grandson join the Ministry of Industry and be in charge first? Take charge of the older officials in the court and renovate their homes.
This winter is not so painful. "
Hearing this, Song Qijie was overjoyed. This... this really made Yuan Yiren right! !
For a moment, Song Qijie, who was extremely excited, immediately came to the center of the hall and knelt down to thank Long En.
Then Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan, who was whispering to Gu Qingwan not far away:
"Lu Yuan!"
Um?
When Lu Yuan heard the noise, he immediately sat upright and looked at his grandfather.
Regarding what happened at noon today, Lu Yuan naturally knows now.
However, don’t panic at all.
Lu Yuantai knew what his grandfather's temper was like.
What he said before was basically like hitting his heart.
Looking at his grandfather, Lu Yuan quickly raised his wine glass and stood up and said:
"Grandpa, let me toast you."
Emperor Yongle couldn't help laughing, raised his glass and said:
"Grandpa should give you a toast."
Lu Yuan quickly laughed and drank the wine first.
After Emperor Yongle finished drinking, he looked at Lu Yuan and asked:
"How is your situation, Lucy?"
Lu Yuan immediately said:
"Ruxi is in good condition. When I came back from Luxi more than half a month ago, more than 200,000 acres of wasteland had been reclaimed."
Emperor Yongle already knew about this this afternoon.
I learned about it from the prince.
However, the prince didn't know how Lu Yuan reclaimed more than 200,000 pieces of wasteland.
Because when Lu Yuan went to Luxi, Emperor Yongle did not send Qingcang Guards to monitor Lu Yuan.
In fact, Emperor Yongle didn't want his family to spy on his family at all.
If it weren't for his second son, he would be really worried.
Emperor Yongle really didn’t want to.
In the past, it was like eating beef or something, and that was all on the way.
He was supposed to monitor his second son, but he was not at home, and Lu Yuan was cooking beef at home that day.
The fragrance wafts far away.
However, although I don’t know how Lu Yuan reclaimed more than 200,000 acres of wasteland, but...
I can almost guess it now.
Including the cabinet and some ministers, they all guessed it.
You’d be a fool if you couldn’t guess the tanks, armored vehicles, etc. I saw this morning.
However, Emperor Yongle still wanted to ask.
I have to let my grandson complain about this matter in front of so many people.
Let these people listen.
Lu Yuan also understood what his grandfather meant, and he thought he meant something like a tractor.
This stuff is still well understood by everyone now.
After all, tanks and armored vehicles have been seen.
How can you still not understand what a tractor is?
After talking about the tractor, Lu Yuan took advantage of the situation and said:
"Grandpa, the spiritual stones before this were all collected by my father for me.
Now that the spirit stones are almost used up, grandpa, you have to help me think of a solution. "
What else is there to say?
Immediately, Emperor Yongle waved his hand, and the court gave Lu Yuan twenty thousand kilograms of spiritual stones every year. If it was not enough, he could still ask for it.
Moreover, Lu Yuan was given the right to retrieve spiritual stones from the entire Qilu at any time.
After talking about the tractor, Emperor Yongle remembered one thing, and that was about the cow.
Emperor Yongle wanted to ask.
But thinking about it...
never mind.
Stop asking.
I guess a lot of people were killed for this expedition.
In that case, kill him.
So what if we killed a few cows for this Northern Expedition?
No more questions.
Today is a happy day, don’t end up asking questions all at once and make you unhappy.
However, Emperor Yongle didn't ask.
Lu Yuan felt uncomfortable.
Good guy, I'm ready to say what I want to say.
You don't ask anymore?
Is this true? !
But after thinking about it carefully, forget it.
If you don’t want to ask, don’t ask.
My breeding farm is not finished yet.
Let’s talk later.
After Emperor Yongle drank another glass of wine, he asked the most critical question:
"Lu Xi, I heard that you have planted potatoes. Isn't it going to be a good harvest?"
Lu Yuan nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, in another ten days or so, we will almost have a good harvest."
Emperor Yongle nodded and said:
"How much did you gain?"
Lu Yuan blinked and said:
“In total, it’s impossible to calculate because the potatoes are not planted in one batch.
However, the yield per mu should be around 1,500 kilograms. "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence.
mu……
The yield per mu is 1,500 catties? ? !
Lu Yuan said that one thousand five hundred kilograms was too little.
Lu Yuan estimated that it was about two thousand kilograms.
Of course, even two thousand kilograms is not considered a high yield on earth.
It can even be said to be poor.
But there is no way.
There's no fertilizer or anything like that here.
Lu Yuan doesn't know how to make chemical fertilizers.
This is already very powerful, and it is already the top performance of "Shen Nong".
If you want to increase production, you have to use chemical fertilizers.
In other words, in the future, we will rely on Shennong to hybridize and hybridize again.
Without relying on chemical fertilizers, we can achieve a yield of six to seven thousand kilograms per mu.
But that is for the future, and there is no way to achieve it now.
However, even if the yield per mu was two thousand catties, it was definitely considered shocking in the Lieqian Dynasty.
As Lu Yuan finished speaking, there was only the sound of silk and bamboo wind music in the hall.
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan blankly.
Everyone thinks their ears heard it wrong?
You know, the potato output of Liegan Dynasty was already high at 800 kilograms per mu.
In fact, the average yield per mu is only five to six hundred.
this……
The yield per acre is 1,500 kilograms? !
This is almost a threefold increase! !
this? !
Emperor Yongle stuttered and looked at Lu Yuan with disbelief on his face:
"How much...how much?"
Lu Yuan said seriously:
“Fifteen hundred kilograms, the first batch of experimental fields in Luxi will be harvested in almost half a month.
Grandpa, if you want to see it with your own eyes, go and see it. "
Emperor Yongle now has no doubts about his grandson's words.
After all, when his grandson told Lu Wenqing at noon, he didn't pay attention to the food problem at all.
That is to say, my grandson is very sure about the grain output.
Can……
But why would we directly increase production three times?
Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment and said:
“How can the yield per mu be increased to 1,500 catties?
This...how was this done, and what new thing did it do? "
This thing seems to have nothing to do with new gadgets, right? ?
When Emperor Yongle was stunned.
Lu Yuan also had no reservations and said:
"Hybridization, crossing different potatoes, will create new varieties."
Hybrid?
This word is actually not a new word.
People like Emperor Yongle can also understand.
To put it simply, a horse follows a donkey and eventually becomes a mule.
But……
This heard animal...
Is this plant okay too? ?
Emperor Yongle said in astonishment:
"Then...how do plants hybridize?"
Lu Yuan blinked, then grinned and said:
"This matter is a bit complicated, but Luxi has a special hybrid test site.
Grandpa, if you want to know, wait for the day when the Luxi Experimental Field is harvested and stop by to take a look.
That all is known. "
At this time, Emperor Yongle nodded with a shocked face and said:
"Okay...Okay...Grandpa will definitely go, not only Grandpa will go, but others will also go!!"
The average potato yield per mu has gone from five to six hundred kilograms to this fifteen hundred kilograms.
The benefits this brings can be imagined with your heels.
This...this is even a radical change! !
Leader Heshuote was also present at this banquet.
After being here for one day, the Heshuote leader naturally knew something.
Whether it's armored vehicles, tanks, self-propelled guns, or whatever else.
It was all caused by this previously unknown Crown Prince of Han.
Leader Heshuote had never heard of Lu Yuan's name before.
I just know the good saint Sun Lu Qing.
Thinking about if this kind of potatoes could be grown all over the country in the Lieqian Dynasty in the future...
The Liegan Dynasty really wanted to strengthen its troops and horses.
And this kind of thing...
If I want to bring back the Gilded Dynasty...
The next second, the Heshuote leader immediately raised his glass and said:
“Congratulations to His Majesty the Great Emperor, congratulations to His Majesty the Great Emperor.
If there is such a divine object, the Gilded Dynasty will definitely surrender to the Lieqian Dynasty forever. "
oh?
After the leader Heshuote raised his glass, Emperor Yongle did not raise his glass but turned his head slightly to look at the leader Heshuote.
Then the Heshuote leader immediately said:
“In the past, the Gilded Dynasty had no choice but to go south to clear grass valleys.
It was all a helpless act done by herdsmen who could not survive on the grassland in winter.
Nowadays, if there is such a magical thing, our gilded dynasty can also have enough food and clothing in winter.
The two countries must live in harmony, maintain a harmonious border and never invade each other. "
Lu Yuan remained silent.
Lu Yuan believed that his grandfather must have listened to what he said at noon today.
And now that I have listened.
What his grandfather wants to do must be what he thinks.
As expected, after Emperor Yongle finished speaking to Leader Shuote, he nodded with a smile on his face.
He raised his glass and had a drink with the Heshuote leader.
But I was thinking about it in my heart.
There is no way to hide potato grain.
This is not like tanks or armored vehicles, which will be well protected in military camps.
Don't try to steal, don't try to learn.
But things like potatoes and grains will eventually flow to the people.
After all, these are grains that are meant to be eaten and grown by the common people.
It needs to be promoted and planted in all parts of the country.
And if it flows to the people, this kind of thing will naturally be taken back by the people of the Gilded Dynasty.
This cannot be prevented no matter how hard it is.
Emperor Yongle naturally did not want this kind of thing to be taken back and planted by the Gilded Dynasty.
Well, since this kind of thing can't be prevented from being taken back by these people.
Just put an end to these people.
but……
Now comes one more thing.
How to prevent it...
First of all, ordinary people don't like fighting.
Since ancient times, armies have always wanted to be famous when going on expeditions.
This name was easy to do before.
But it's not easy to do now.
I have brought back the Heshuote leader.
Now the whole world knows that the Gilded Dynasty has surrendered to the Lieqian Dynasty.
If I suddenly send troops again...
This is going back on one's word...
For a moment, Emperor Yongle had a headache.
However, there will always be an opportunity for this.
Wait a few days for the Heshuote leader to stay in the imperial city for a few more days.
There is always disrespect to be found.
It will be easy to handle then.
Emperor Yongle thought for a while and then stopped thinking.
The banquet was held as usual.
After a while of pushing cups and changing cups.
Emperor Yongle, who was a little drunk, was in a good mood and suddenly suggested:
"Come on, two good grandsons, grandpa will test you!"
Hear this.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
here we go again.
This is like what it is.
It was like a group of adults getting together to drink some wine during the Chinese New Year.
Then it's time for the children to start performing.
Of course, Emperor Yongle definitely couldn't let Lu Yuan dance with Lu Qing.
One of Emperor Yongle's favorite things.
It was at the banquet that the topic was raised.
Test your own two grandchildren.
Of course.
Lu Yuan just made up the numbers.
Mainly to test Lu Qing.
Wait for Lu Qing to write a good answer, and then circulate it to each other.
Let everyone in the world see how great and powerful their great saint grandson is.
However, this time...
But it's different.
Emperor Yongle really had Lu Yuan in mind this time.
Immediately, Emperor Yongle asked:
"You two listen carefully to the question.
How to stabilize the country and control the people? "
After Emperor Yongle finished speaking, the Four Treasures of the Study appeared in front of Lu Yuan and Lu Qing.
Originally it was the young eunuch who helped grind the ink.
However, on Lu Yuan's side, as soon as the Four Treasures of the Study came up, Gu Qingwan immediately got up to study ink for her husband.
Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan looked at each other. They were affectionate, affectionate, and loving husband and wife.
Let everyone who sees it have a knowing smile on their faces.
These two are so good~
Of course, in the meantime, only Lu Qing suddenly heard a popping sound.
I felt as if I had been stabbed in the heart.
After snorting coldly, Lu Qing took the brush in his hand and began to paint with brushes and splashes of ink.
About this matter.
Lu Qing is absolutely confident.
Because this is the way of the emperor!
And I have been raised as an emperor since I was a child.
In terms of imperial power and imperial ways, Lu Qing is definitely a hundred times better than Lu Yuan! !
Now, this Lu Yuan is really too pushy!
Whether it is the Northern Expedition or the food of Luxi.
It's simply too strong, too strong.
but……
so what? !
Becoming an emperor doesn't mean these things!
No matter how well you do these things, it can only be said that you are an outstanding minister.
But it has nothing to do with the emperor.
In this regard, Lu Qing believed in himself and would definitely regain his face.
Because this situation has happened countless times before.
At this time, everything in the hall was quiet.
Even the sound of silk, bamboo and wind instruments stopped.
Lu Yuan and Lu Qing both lowered their heads and wrote seriously.
Emperor Yongle also looked at Lu Yuan from time to time.
Before this, Emperor Yongle really didn't care much about what Lu Yuan wrote.
It's just a matter of making up the numbers anyway, as long as you don't make yourself sick from anger.
But now, Emperor Yongle is inexplicably looking forward to Lu Yuan's answer.
About thirty or forty minutes later.
Lu Qing handed in the paper first.
There was no surprise. Emperor Yongle said three good words after reading it.
Then it was circulated to everyone.
There was no surprise. After everyone saw Lu Qing's answer, they all agreed immediately.
They all praised him for his great saintly grandson, his intelligence, and other things that he had said many times before.
Lu Qing also had a proud look on his face.
In the end, all eyes were on Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was still writing unhurriedly.
Now only one person can see Lu Yuan's answer sheet.
That was Gu Qingwan.
At this time, Gu Qingwan looked at her husband's answer sheet and was already frightened.
The movement of grinding ink on the hands has stopped.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan has finished writing.
Finally, the eunuch beside Emperor Yongle came to pick it up in person.
Later, it was presented to Emperor Yongle.
After Emperor Yongle took Lu Yuan's answer sheet and looked at it for a few seconds, the expression on his face changed.
No one can explain this change.
It was just a feeling, after Emperor Yongle read Lu Yuan's answer sheet.
Within a few seconds, I was so frightened that I woke up from the wine.
Everyone is thinking...
This Lu Yuan wrote nonsense again, making the emperor angry?
At this time, Emperor Yongle had an extremely complicated expression on his face.
About seven or eight minutes later.
Emperor Yongle's hand holding the answer sheet was trembling slightly.
He put it down slightly and stared at the expressionless Lu Yuan not far away.
Emperor Yongle took a deep breath.
My grandson... is too scary...
Let’s update today. I stayed up late to watch Wa’s game, and my schedule was completely messed up.
(End of chapter)
