Things you look forward to take time to wait for.
In the summer of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, something that Zhu Yunxi had been looking forward to for a long time, after the passage of time and a long wait, finally came to bear witness to the moment of expectation.
The end of June is already the hottest time of summer.
The entire outside of Yingtian City turned into a golden patch. In the fields, there are so many fruits that the rice stalks are bent.
Early in the morning.
Zhu Yunxi put on clothes with narrow sleeves and slim legs, and waited outside Qianqing Palace early.
During this period of time, the old man has really ignored the government affairs. It seems that what he said at the family banquet of the Zhu family that day was really implemented by him.
For several consecutive court meetings, the throne was empty.
Below are Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, a prince of the Ming Dynasty and a grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
However, occasionally once or twice, Prince Zhu Biao would miss the court meeting.
When the general examination was about to begin and everyone from the world came to answer the question, something like this happened in the court, which had already aroused speculation among the courtiers. However, the emperor was still alive and well, which made the civil and military officials above the court dare not A memorial was submitted to ask the emperor what the reason was for not appearing at court meetings several times in a row.
Sun Gou'er, the steward of the inner palace, walked out of the Qianqing Palace. When he saw Zhu Yunxi waiting in front of the palace gate, he immediately quickened his pace with a bright smile on his face.
"Slave, please see the third master."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Grandpa, are you up?"
Sun Gou'er nodded and said: "I got up early in the morning. Your Majesty went to bed very early last night. But I never thought that the Third Master would come earlier."
As he spoke, Sun Gouer couldn't help but look up at the sky.
At this time, behind the outline of the mountain on the other side of Shenlie Mountain, there was only a hint of dark red.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Today is the harvest day of summer grain in Laoshan Palace. The Tian family is close to farmers and mulberry trees, so we should get up early like farmers."
Sun Gou'er smiled and nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the emperor's voice came from the palace behind him.
"But Yunxi is here?"
Zhu Yunxi immediately passed over his grandson Gou'er, bowed and replied loudly into the hall: "Return to grandpa, it's your grandson who is here."
"You are so reserved right now. Come on in."
Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat joking voice came out from the hall again.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked at Sun Gouer silently.
The emperor's palace is far from comparable to the Zhongji Palace.
I can enter there anytime and anywhere without notice, but the emperor's palace can no longer be so unhindered and without caution.
Sun Gou'er immediately lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty slept alone last night."
Zhu Yunxi nodded immediately, then straightened up and smiled, and said something to the inside of the palace before walking in.
When he entered the palace, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already opened his arms and stood in front of a huge bronze mirror. Several palace maids dressed him in a linen garment that had been patched with countless patches. The stitches on the patches were no better than his usual ones. The patched linen clothes worn inside are exquisite.
I saw Zhu Yunxi walking in.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glanced, humming twice: "These are the clothes your grandma made for us when she was still alive. There are nine pieces in total. At that time, we wore them all day long, but now we are even more reluctant to put them on easily."
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward, gently waved his hand, and drove away several palace maids who were waiting for the old man to dress him. He stretched out his hand to smooth his clothes and adjust his position.
He said in a low voice: "After reading the Ming Dynasty several times, my grandson thinks that grandpa is the person he loves the most. Grandma has no regrets if she can have you by her side throughout her life."
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Yunxi's hand away, lifted up his waist, and then walked out of the palace: "Your grandma was seriously ill back then. Before she left, she held our hand and said that she was the most regretful person in her life. I just can’t see you gangsters growing up.”
Zhu Yunxi's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, and he glanced around, then stepped forward to support the old man's arm: "Etiquette and rules can never be abolished. If word spreads, if there is an unmarried pregnancy in the East Palace, the grandson will be thick-skinned. , but my family’s reputation is not good. Just wait for another two years, and you will be tired of a bunch of great-grandchildren surrounding you all day long. "
This is not the first time that the old man has urged his great-grandson.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the government affairs, the emperor's great-grandson became his target.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and glared at Zhu Yunxi sideways, and snorted coldly: "As long as you work hard, let's see who dares to find fault in front of us!"
The old man has given up everything in order to be able to hold the emperor's great-grandson in his arms.
Zhu Yunxi's scalp felt numb for a while, so he had to change his words quickly: "Grandpa, the entire village of Laoshan Emperor is busy today, just waiting for you to come over."
At this time, the grandfather and grandson had already walked out of the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, turned around and stared at Zhu Yunxi faintly: "A few days ago, your boy encouraged us to go to Laoshan Imperial Manor. I'm afraid it's not just for us to take a look at this year's harvest."
Zhu Yunxi showed a smile and chuckled at the old man: "That can't be done. How dare my grandson deceive you? It's just that before the winter last year, my grandson got a few new things and put them over there at Huangzhuang. I guess this year Huangzhuang will The harvest over there should be quite large, so I specially wanted grandpa to see the harvest with his own eyes."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were already cautiously scanning around Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Is it the bookstore you run? The article in the first issue of "Xin Xue - Unity of Knowledge and Action" seems to be highly discussed in Yingtian now?"
In front of the old man, the Ming Dynasty was transparent, and Ying Tiancheng had no secrets.
With the publication of the first issue of the bookstore's newspaper, it has been more than half a month now. Xie Jin has not issued the second issue of the newspaper. According to his explanation, it is to build momentum and then publish the follow-up. article.
And the article about the unity of knowledge and action in the first issue, just as Zhu Yunxi expected, caused a wave of craze in Yingtian City and even the world.
Or it could be said to be an uproar.
The disciples of Confucian Neo-Confucianism, who had been castrated since the Song Dynasty, suddenly faced an article that asked them to unite knowledge and practice, or a criticism. You can imagine how moved and angry their reaction was.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "This just proves that our Ming Dynasty's culture and education are prosperous, and my grandfather has made extraordinary contributions."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud immediately, stretched out his hand and tapped Zhu Yunxi on the head: "The door of that boy Jie Jin's house would have been smashed. If you hadn't let him live in the row of houses in front of Wenhua Hall with his family recently, I’m afraid that boy can’t leave the house anymore.”
Zhu Yunxi bowed and nodded: "It's just a debate among literati, it's not a big deal."
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly: "Knowing and doing are one! We have looked at it very carefully, and we also believe it. Since you said it is a dispute between literati, let that boy Xie Jin deal with it by himself. "
Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.
The old man has already decided that this Confucian transformation, which was concocted by himself, is a fight between literati and has nothing to do with the old Zhu family.
Similarly, this matter, at least for now, is confined to the realm of scholars in the world, rather than rising above the court.
In short, Lao Zhu's family now has to sit back and watch, depending on the future direction of the fight to determine the final solution.
Zhu Yunxi didn't like this method very much, but he couldn't refuse.
He had no choice but to kill all the scholars in the world who opposed the transformation of Confucianism.
The great man once said that the road is tortuous, but the future is bright.
Zhu Yunxi felt that this matter also had a bright future.
He then moved closer to the old man and whispered: "My grandson thinks that since my family can change the Central Plains, it can also change this current matter."
However, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and patted the back of Zhu Yunxi's head: "Let's go quickly. Wait a little while, and the old men from the court will enter the palace to invite you to perform."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to glare at Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi chuckled. The reason why he chose to take the old man out of the palace today was to prevent the petitions from the old court officials who wanted to enter the palace today to petition for the seizure of data, as well as the petitions from the scholars. The letter was presented to the old man.
As long as the matter does not appear in front of the old man, it cannot be regarded as government affairs.
This time, he continued to support the old man and walked towards Xuanwu Gate.
Because Laoshan Huangzhuang is on the river bank in the north of Yingtian City, you can go out through Xuanwu Gate, then out of Taipingmen, and go all the way north to Huangzhuang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi arrived outside Xuanwu Gate, they saw several people already waiting outside the city gate.
Yuan Sutai, the right eunuch of Shanglinyuan Prison, received the order from his grandson yesterday. He rushed outside Xuanwu Gate early today and led the officials of Shanglinyuan Prison to wait until now.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, who had been with them for a long time and had not been able to see him for a long time, walked out from behind the Xuanwu Gate with a kind look on his face.
Yuan Sutai immediately led the people forward.
"I go to the Linyuan Supervisor, the Right Supervisor, Yuan Sutai, to see your majesty and to see my great-grandson."
"I will see you, your majesty, and my grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Let's get up."
After finishing speaking, he turned his questioning eyes to Zhu Yunxi who was following him.
Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and pointed at Yuan Sutai and others to explain: "Everyone in Shanglinyuan Supervisor is really capable. Last year, Zuo Supervisor was personally leading people on a trip to southern Xinjiang. He was in danger and died, but he brought someone with him. I have returned a lot of seeds, and my grandson thinks they are all of great use. Yuan Jianzheng is also proficient in the art of grain and vegetables, so today my grandson asked them to go to Huangzhuang to have a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yuan Sutai and others, nodded affirmatively and said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and Shanglinyuan Supervisor's hard work has made great achievements."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Sun Gouer to take him to the carriage in front of the city gate.
However, Yuan Sutai and others were already extremely excited.
The fact that Supervisor Shanglinyuan can receive His Majesty's recognition of his hard work and meritorious service far exceeds all rewards.
People like me wake up early in the morning and get muddy all day long, just for saying this.
With these words, the future is clear.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Yuan Sutai, whose face was already flushed with excitement, and said softly: "My family will never forget its meritorious ministers. If you guard Shanglinyuan Prison well, you will have everything you want."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Sutai's thick shoulder.
It can be seen that this shoulder has been shouldered.
When Zhu Yunxi mounted his horse and guarded the emperor's carriage, Yuan Sutai felt that his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
I am going to be prosperous!
"It's sent!"
"It's sent!"
“I’ve really prospered this year!”
At Laoshan Huangzhuang, the old village chief was barefoot and bare-legged, wearing a straw hat, holding two heavy handfuls of rice in his hands, and said with an emotional expression.
Outside the entire Laoshan Imperial Mansion, in the entire fields, countless people lined up, holding sickles in their hands, bending over and lowering their heads, advancing steadily forward.
Large tracts of full-grown rice with too many grains to count were cut down and neatly placed behind them.
The younger children will follow up quickly with their hands and feet and carry the rice to the ridge.
In the blink of an eye, the field ridges were already filled with piles of rice.
Then, a strong man pulled up the straw rope that had been placed on the ridge of the field and was pressed by the rice, and tied the bundle of rice tightly together. Then a carrying pole passed through two bundles of rice, one in front and one behind.
As the men's muscles became fuller, they straightened their backs and stood up.
The long and slender pole was bent heavily by the rice, and then the slogans rang out. The slender poles went up and down on the field ridges, rising and falling rhythmically, and finally gathered in the open space in front of Zhuangzi.
The royal team that had just arrived at Laoshan Palace did not attract the attention of the people who were immersed in joy because of this year's bumper harvest.
After getting off the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the continuous rice fields in front of him and took a deep breath.
Yuan Sutai, on the other hand, had already led his people to the rice fields, and pulled out several rice poles. His eyes were about to shine, and he carefully counted the rice ears one by one.
Wait until everyone reaches the open space in front of Zhuangzi.
Yuan Sutai exclaimed and shouted.
It attracted the attention of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi, and the old village chief and others who rushed over after hearing the sound.
Yuan Sutai was seen holding an ear of rice in his hand, his face was as red as a monkey's butt, his lips were trembling constantly, and his hole was shrinking and widening again and again.
"Over a hundred!"
"Over a hundred!"
"The number of rice ears is over a hundred!"
After finishing speaking, under everyone's gaze, Yuan Sutai actually put the ear of rice in his mouth, chewed it heavily, stretched his hands toward the sky, and slowly knelt on the ground with his legs.
"God bless me! I, Ming Dynasty, also have rice seeds with over a hundred ears of rice!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but subconsciously reached out and held Zhu Yunxi's hand to prevent himself from losing his bearing due to excitement.
Zhu Yunxi immediately coughed lightly.
Yuan Sutai, who realized that the emperor and grandson were still present, immediately turned around and looked up at the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Auspicious!"
"God bless you!"
"My Ming Dynasty rice seeds can also produce ears of rice with over a hundred grains!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand fiercely: "Count again! Count clearly for me!"
Yuan Sutai nodded heavily and rushed into the rice field beside him while rolling and crawling.
Then, Zhu Yunxi heard the old man's heavy breathing.
Apparently he was shocked by the news that the rice ears had more than a hundred grains.
If I remember correctly, although the number of grains in the three types of rice ears in later generations was only the heavy and large ears, the number of grains exceeded a hundred.
Three types of rice ears.
The number of grains in multiple spikes is less than a hundred, the number of grains in large spikes is over a hundred, and the number of grains in heavy spikes is about two hundred.
He took a look at the surrounding rice fields, and it seemed that they were more like the double-eared type. Although it was not the type of rice that had gone through countless improvements in later generations, it already had its original prototype.
In this era when the number of grains in a rice ear has never exceeded 100, the number of grains exceeding 100 undoubtedly represents the meaning of a bumper harvest.
It also means that in the future, Ming Dynasty will be able to make all fields grow rice with hundreds of grains!
While he was thinking about this.
Zhu Yuanzhang already exhaled a long breath: "Good grandson! Good grandson!"
Zhu Yunxi turned his head and saw the old man staring at him with a moved face.
He nodded: "Grandpa, they must be over a hundred!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time. He took a deep breath and then said: "Is this true? Grandpa heard it right?"
Zhu Yunxi hummed and nodded heavily: "Grandpa, you can't go wrong."
Then, he waved his hand and pointed at Yuan Sutai and others who had already driven back the rice ears from the rice fields.
"Grandpa, as long as we check more, we will be able to confirm that the number of rice ears and grains exceeding 100 is an exception, and it is the case for everyone."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at Yuan Sutai and others who rushed back, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took Zhu Yunxi's hand heavily with his palm, and said in an unquestionable tone: "If this matter is true! The merits will last forever! Our Ming Dynasty will be safe for a hundred years. You can look forward to it for a thousand years! Even after my grandfather dies, he can go find the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Mingjuns of the past dynasties, and tell them that our Ming Dynasty is better than them!"
Zhu Yunxi also affirmed: "Grandpa has already surpassed the three emperors and benefited the world. The Ming Dynasty is stronger than all previous dynasties!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his energy and blood were surging all over his body. The feeling at this moment was far more than when he invaded Yingtian City and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
It wasn't until Yuan Sutai and others came back with handfuls of rice ears.
Only then did he speak loudly: "Count! Count them for me one by one!"
Yuan Sutai and others could not control the etiquette before the emperor at this moment, so they sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered their heads and counted the rice ears one by one.
Zhu Yunxi supported the old man and whispered: "Grandpa, most of the rice ears in our Ming Dynasty are only more than eighty grains, and in good years they are only in their early nineties. Now they are really over a hundred, and there will be a lot of grains in our Ming Dynasty. It’s an overflowing event!”
If the output is increased by more than ten percent, it will be a huge number if calculated based on the entire land of Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only remembered grabbing Zhu Yunxi's palm tightly, and staring at Yuan Sutai and others sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him.
finally.
Yuan Sutai, the right prisoner in the Shanglinyuan Prison, suddenly raised his head.
"Your Majesty, I counted fifteen ears of rice, and they all exceeded a hundred!"
Immediately, other officials from Shanglinyuan Prison raised their heads.
"I counted thirteen ears of rice, and twelve of them exceeded one hundred!"
"I counted seventeen ears of rice, and fifteen are more than one hundred!"
"I counted eleven ears of rice, and they all exceeded one hundred!"
