"Zeng Lu, this is Dezhi!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt his heart twitching, why was it him?
This year Zeng Lu happened to be in charge of the provincial examination, and then the dew fell on Zhongshan, my God!
Zeng Lu is going to die now? Can not be done! I have to find a way, I'm not dead yet, yes, I'm not dead yet!
"Father, please order the imperial physician to take a look at Dr. Zeng! If the imperial physician can't tell, he can only send it to Xiaqiu Village for an expert to see."
Zhu Biao reminded that the letter did not say anything to death. The last four words were to diagnose the pulse in person and the expert was willing to take action.
"Yes, yes, yes, it seems that the master has the same idea as us, to protect his virtue, are you afraid of Biao'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a deep sense of fear.
"I'm not afraid, but I feel more at ease. I think if something happens to an important person in the palace, the master will remind him." Zhu Biao thought for a while and shook his head.
"Yes, the master is on the same side as us and has always been with us. How is Shandong?" Zhu Yuanzhang said and looked for the question book.
Wheat is grown in Shandong, and it is winter wheat. Last year, there was a drought and there was no snow. People could only draw water from rivers or use well water for irrigation.
In just over a month, winter wheat will be harvested, remember to remember it.
"I found it. It's raining. It's already raining. The drought that started last year is said to have no impact. People water it diligently. Wheat doesn't use too much water, unlike rice.
Okay, hold on tight, we will plant 20,000 acres of wheat seeds for them in Xiaqiu Village this year! A lot of land can be planted. "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the contents of the question book and gasped twice. One acre of wheat in Xiaqiu Village can produce 20 acres of land, and 20,000 acres of seeds can produce 400,000 acres.
Last year, the wheat seeds from Xiaqiu Village were planted in that dry area. This year, they harvested the wheat seeds and can be planted in more places. The wheat seeds have increased twenty-fold, and they can plant eight million acres.
In another year or two, production is expected to decline, and production may increase in some places.
"Where's Taipu?" Zhu Yuanzhang put down the question book and asked about Wei Su's situation.
"Back to my father, Academician Wei and a group of people are working hard to repair the dictionary, and it's going well.
Nowadays, the books about reading pictures and reading printed out by the library have reached the hands of almost all children and teenagers in Nanjing, regardless of gender.
Today, the library will prepare a lot of meals because there are children and their families have difficulty working, so they send the children to the library.
By reading picture literacy books, some smart children can write more than a dozen words in just a few days. "
Zhu Biao talked about interesting things, and the library helped take care of the children.
"Is there someone willing to read to a girl?" Zhu Yuanzhang also found it interesting. He was not worried about the lack of food supply in Xiaqiu Village.
"If you don't need money, you are naturally willing to let girls study. Girls who can read will marry differently in the future. Girls who also learn arithmetic can manage the house."
Zhu Biao expressed what the people were thinking. It was impossible to pay for girls to study. His mother, Queen Ma, had been studying since she was a child. What kind of family was that?
There is also his Crown Princess, who is equally powerful and even knows the art of war.
Ordinary people think that their daughters belong to other people when they grow up, and they are reluctant to spend that money.
It’s free now, so hurry up and borrow the books and come back to study. Once you’ve learned enough, things will be different when you find your husband’s family again!
If the husband's family is illiterate, and the daughter marries and directly takes charge of the family, the resulting boy will be amazing! The daughter-in-law can teach the eldest grandson to read.
"Yes, from now on I will be a scholar. What will the children in the library eat for lunch?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood finally improved. The worst had not happened yet, and everything was too late.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have written poems and poems." Someone came to report, holding a stack of paper.
"Bring it up and show it to us. You, my dear, look at it with us." Zhu Yuanzhang motioned to the prince to stand beside him.
The father and son read the articles one by one. At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and opened them again: "The most virtuous man. At that time, he led people to organize the countryside, and everyone else was convinced. No one dared to commit crimes or commit crimes.
In fact, it is the same as Xiaqiu Village, but it is because of himself that he has convinced the public. In Xiaqiu Village, it is because of the villagers. The village chief can be changed, but the villagers will not change unless they die. "
"What my father said is absolutely true. The children in Xiaqiu Village cannot match Dr. Zeng's ability and cannot recite the Five Classics word for word at the age of seven.
However, they have been taught by experts, and what they have learned is quite complex and very practical. It will only take a few more years. "
Zhu Biao has always paid attention to the growth of the children in Xiaqiu Village, and these are his people.
Therefore, he was not wary of Xiaqiu Village. Like his father and other ministers and generals, he always had to get in touch with others.
"Well... today we will go to the library incognito and go to Donghua Gate." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
"My child, go arrange some security." When Zhu Biao heard his father said that he wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person and go out, he had to consider ensuring safety.
"The guards are too fake. Let Xiaqiu Village send someone to follow them. Everyone knows about Xiaqiu Village. Choose young and strong ones."
Zhu Yuanzhang had a way. He wanted to sneak into the team in Xiaqiu Village.
"My son, I know." Zhu Biao agreed and left to find someone first.
"Call your mother and the crown princess, they are always in the palace and they are bored!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to his son who had just left the palace.
Not long after, a group of people pedaled to Donghua Gate. Xiaqiu Village sent village elders and fifty young people to push them in wheelchairs.
Detouring from here is the same as the route taken by the village leader, otherwise a group of people suddenly rush out of Xihua Gate. Everyone is curious about who it is?
The Crown Princess is pregnant and uses a wheelchair, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are in good health! Follow along.
"What are you holding? How does it look like a firearm?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not see the people in Xiaqiu Village carrying flintlock guns. What he saw was a short pipe, and then... something that looked like a firework.
"His Majesty asked, this is Zhuangzi's newly made revolving flintlock gun. It can be loaded with eight bullets at a time and can attack continuously. However, the shooting distance is short, and it is not as good as the previous flintlock gun.
Now we have made six of them, and we will take them with us to see where we stand, lest someone bump into His Majesty, the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess. "
The person holding the revolver did not respond and continued to block the position. The village elder next to him gave the answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
"Is there something good in our village again? That flintlock gun has to be loaded and loaded, but not this one?" He was surprised by the technological improvement in Xiaqiu Village.
“This one won’t fall easily, and it’s very safe. It has a safety device. If you don’t open the safety device, you can’t launch it.
Now I am still thinking about how to do better. If His Majesty had not traveled incognito today, I would not have wanted to take it out.
This revolving flintlock gun is only powerful in close combat. After some time, it will be determined and presented to the court. "
The village elder said that the situation in the village can be improved, but it is not mature enough at present.
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied. He was not in a hurry to take it over to see where he was standing! The most dangerous position was blocked by people with weapons like this from Xiaqiu Village.
When the team had circled most of the way to the entrance of the library, the director and the children were waiting with the dining cart.
Hanhan stepped forward and stood next to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I, protect, um! Hey hey hey hey!"
"So Hanhan, hey hey hey!" Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Hanhan came over to protect him. There were iron sticks on Hanhan's body. It felt like there were not twenty iron sticks, but more than forty in that circle.
The veteran who was pouring water for others looked over, his hands trembled, and he quickly turned around to avoid scalding people with the boiling water.
