Chapter 92 The phone is broken
After He Xi said this sentence, he immediately regretted it.
Say the emperor is old. It's not something ordinary people can say. Not to mention such an important occasion. In front of so many officials and soldiers. It is extremely inappropriate to say such things.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned after hearing this, and said: "Only you will tell me this."
In fact, rapid aging also affected Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality. Otherwise he wouldn't think too much about the long term. There may be only a few years between those in their fifties and their sixties, but their mentality is completely different.
At least, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about what happened after his death before, but now he has been thinking about it.
When He Xi heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he was moved and immediately changed the subject. Said: "Your Majesty is tired from the journey, please come in and rest."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay."
In public, this is not the place to talk. Zhu Yuanzhang also had a lot to say to He Xi.
------
He Xi introduced Zhu Yuanzhang into the best building in Niuzhuang, which was Niuzhuang Post House. As mentioned earlier, Niuzhuang developed from a land and water post station. As Niuzhuang develops faster and faster, there are more and more buildings, but Niuzhuang Inn is still the largest and best place among them.
But soon not anymore.
Because He Xi is already thinking about upgrading to Niuzhuang. Whether it's setting up a health center. Or establish a county government. This place needs to be managed. It can't be just a stop. The station actually has no jurisdiction over civil affairs. Before that, there were few people in Niuzhuang. Moreover, transshipment matters are also within the jurisdiction of the inn, and even the docks are maintained by the inn. Therefore, the postmaster of the post station directly took care of the outside affairs. But despite He Xi's reforms in Liaodong, especially the smooth flow of waterways, Niuzhuang has surpassed Lushun and become the most important port in Liaodong. There are hundreds of merchants from the south alone. Plus additional manpower. The first group of people who migrated from Korea were settled near Niuzhuang. Nothing else.
This is the most efficient way. Settled upstream along the Liao River.
A rough calculation shows that the population under Niuzhuang's jurisdiction has exceeded 10,000. Still increasing rapidly.
It can be said to be the place with the fastest population growth in Liaodong.
Not to mention, it is still the window of Liaodong. Not to mention, He Xi also placed the Liaodong Textile Factory here. On the one hand, it can undertake cotton from the entire Liaohe River Basin. On the other hand, Shandong, opposite Liaodong, is an important cotton producing area.
It’s also about preparing for the future.
Such an important place cannot be presided over by just a postmaster.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down in the main hall of the post station and said, "Yes, it looks very lively. I know that we have done well in the past two years."
He Xi said: "It is all supported by His Majesty. Without His Majesty's support, Liaodong would not be like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is something I want to tell you." Then Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to bring up a box, and then gave it to He Xi. After the people got down, he asked He Xi to open it and look at it.
He Xi opened it and saw that inside was his cell phone that he had not seen for many years.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's broken. According to you, it probably only has this lifespan. But many of the books in it have been preserved. It's a pity. It's also very good to be a calculator. And your computer also has many problems. ”
He Xi looked at the phone that couldn't light up. For a moment, he didn't know what it was like.
Six years, six years since he came to this world. The scope of activities is much larger than that in later generations. You know, in later generations, he will also be one of the billions of people without a passport. Not to mention going abroad.
Now in ancient times, he also traveled to Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and more importantly, he led his own troops there. This was something he almost didn't dare think about.
Sometimes, in the dead of night.
When He Xi got up, she was also worried about whether the thing in front of her was a dream.
Now looking at this phone, it feels familiar. This kind of texture, which ancient craftsmen could not achieve anyway, reminds He Xi. This is real. This is reality. Not a dream. He really came from six hundred years later and brought these things with him.
More importantly, none of the things he brought can be used.
It also seems to mean that he is gradually drifting away from the world six hundred years later.
He Xi changed Zhu Yuanzhang and the world at the same time. He is also changing the world. When playing the role of the reform pioneer of the Ming Dynasty, many times I forget that I am a person six hundred years in the future. Just to make this era better.
He Xi said: "In order to make more money, many companies in later generations have a design life for their products. Or they plan to scrap them. In total, this phone has been used for nearly ten years. Before I came here, I was ready to replace it. It works. So far, it’s very rare.”
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "The design life is planned to be scrapped."
Just as modern people cannot imagine what the future of communism will look like, it is difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to imagine what an era of overproduction is like. After all, what he saw were countless people fighting for a few assets, or items. And fight, even to the death.
All his thinking patterns are based on this background. Therefore, he could not imagine what kind of situation would require pouring milk into the river, and the waste time of the produced things must be planned in advance. They were even planned to break early.
This may be a historical limitation.
But because he couldn't understand it, the future mentioned by He Xi had a dreamlike color in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. Magnificent and elusive.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was more confident in many ideas about the future than He Xi. Or maybe Zhu Yuanzhang had experienced the kind of thinking that he couldn't get to the point after thinking about it over and over again. Now I saw the solution all at once, and the shocking feeling was something that He Xi could not know without in-depth research.
Or perhaps, He Xi has seen the real 21st century and knows its beauty and shortcomings. But Zhu Yuanzhang had no insight. He added many beautiful filters to the future. The 21st century in his eyes is probably more beautiful than He Xi's memories.
It seems to have been sublimated into faith.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You can handle this thing yourself. It can be regarded as returning to its original owner."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow He Xi to take his computer and mobile phone out of the capital, so these things were kept by Princess Anqing for Zhu Yuanzhang to use.
He Xi rubbed the screen of his mobile phone. If it were in the future, it would just be thrown away somewhere to eat dust, or replaced with a scissors basin or something like that. But now Hexi is reluctant to part with it. I decided to stay with him as a thought and take him into the coffin when he dies, so that future generations of archaeologists can be surprised.
He Xi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang took He Xi's things and occupied them for so many years. Now that it can no longer be used, I gave it to He Xi. He Xi said "Thank you" naturally. This was naturally the result of He Xi being assimilated by this era. After all, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, how can you not thank me?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's get down to business. New species from America have arrived. Send them up for a look."
He Xi said: "It's just yesterday. There is also the latest battle situation in Goryeo." When He Xi talked about the latest battle situation in Goryeo, there was a trace of incredulity in his eyes. He still remembered his surprise when he saw the Korean war report yesterday. This situation was so unexpected.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care. Said: "Put aside the Korean war report and other things, let's take a look at high-yielding crops first."
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, what kind of drama could be caused by the war in Goryeo. Well, even if you can find out some waste. It cannot change the situation of the battle. Lan Yu's fighting ability is still trustworthy. He doesn't need to worry too much. And new crops are the existence that can change the pattern of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, there is no need to say more about the severity.
"Yes." He Xi said. Then He Xi waved at the door, and someone immediately came out. Not someone else. It was Fang Chengfeng, with excitement on his face, and he walked up carrying a wooden plate. On this wooden plate, nothing else. They are the crops of the Americas, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
In fact, there are many American varieties brought back this time. However, in He Xi's opinion, these three are the most important. So let’s bring these three up first.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw these three crops, they were like rare treasures.
No, this is a rare treasure. Compared with gold and silver antiques, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc. It makes Zhu Yuanzhang even more excited. Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Have you figured out how to grow these crops?"
He Xi said: "It's clear. This is Fang Mingqian's son, Fang Chengfeng. He has been planting crops in America for a year and knows all about this."
