Jinling Hotel.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen have returned.
After learning about a hundred years of the Ming Dynasty from Su Jing's mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of continuing to follow Su Jing around.
"Your Majesty, I think what Su Jing said is very important and should return to the palace immediately."
Liu Bowen said very seriously.
Although he knew that this matter was actually a private matter of the emperor's family.
But as a hero of Conglong, Liu Bowen did not want the Ming Dynasty to disappear in less than three hundred years.
He also has the idea of lasting forever.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he said calmly: "Go back to the palace immediately. In addition, Su Jing is keeping an eye on him and he must not be allowed to leave Lishui County!"
...........
In the midst of Su's distribution.
Su Jing is inspecting the results of new textile machines.
With the operation of the female textile worker, the silk threads continued to gather at a rapid speed and quickly turned into cloth.
The drawings provided by the system are awesome!
Su Jing sighed in her heart. Although they were just some new textile machines, their efficiency had been improved several times compared to before.
This is the foundation on which Su's business can stand.
During the linen trade war, Su Jing had already figured out how to improve linen in order to ensure a sufficient supply of linen.
"My boss, you are truly a genius."
Sun Ping looked at the new textile machine in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
This boss of mine is simply omnipotent.
Su Jing smiled and said: "I'm not that smart. If you run the cloth business well, your business will only get bigger and bigger in the future."
"Yes, boss."
Sun Ping replied happily.
Su Jing left Su's cloth shop and came to a farmland in the countryside.
This is his private land, where he grows many large spices that he obtained from the system. It is an important pillar of several of his restaurants.
Seeing the crops growing well in the fields, Su Jing was quite satisfied.
"It's really much easier if those two guys don't follow us."
Su Jing sighed with emotion.
Since the secret was leaked, these two people disappeared directly.
Su Jing can also understand, after all, this matter is not trivial, and the identities of the two are probably very unusual.
As for the consequences, Su Jing wasn't too worried.
Anyway, what he said is the truth, even if those two people really poke the emperor's ears, if they want to catch him, the worst he can do is run away.
Su Jing practiced the martial arts given by the system day and night and never slackened off.
It's a pity that I haven't used it for a long time.
The industry in Lishui County seems huge, but in fact it was built by Su Jing in just one year.
We have all traveled through time and space and been reborn, and there is nothing we can’t bear to part with.
Enjoy life, this is what you should do now.
Thinking that the sweet potatoes had been planted, Su Jing decided to start studying wine making.
Although alcohol is prohibited now, if we study it privately, it won't be a big deal as long as we don't do it on a large scale.
Now is the Ming Dynasty, and the ancient brewing process is very mature.
Unfortunately, the alcohol produced by this brewing method is generally not high.
Su Jing likes strong spirits.
Not only can you drink it, but it can also be used for disinfection.
This requires the use of distillation.
Although the distillation method already existed in the Yuan Dynasty, it was not mature.
Because the ancients only knew that distillation could increase the alcohol content, but the principle was unclear and the operation was very crude.
The distillation method used by Su Jing is a pure modern process.
Of course, Su Jing herself is not a genius and can do everything.
The craftsmanship of distillation is also a reward of the system.
In a closed room, various earthen jars were placed on the table, and Su Jing was constantly operating, just like an alchemist.
Fortunately, Su Jing had cleared the scene long ago, otherwise, she might have been misunderstood.
As the distillation process proceeds, the wine continues to flow out.
The strong smell after purification of alcohol was extremely pungent. Su Jing felt quite happy smelling this smell.
This means you succeeded!
...........
Ying Tianfu.
Inside the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yuanzhang was handling official business in the main hall, and the fifteen-year-old prince Zhu Biao stood aside to watch and learn.
"Biao'er, do you think there is a problem with my worship of the royal children now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao.
This is the future successor of his Ming Empire. Zhu Biao needs to understand and learn everything.
Zhu Biao was not surprised. Such sudden questions were something Zhu Yuanzhang often did.
"Father, I think there is nothing wrong with this."
Zhu Biao replied respectfully.
Zhu Biao had a good relationship with his brothers, so he thought it was appropriate to give more to them.
really.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly in his heart.
He is still very satisfied with his prince.
Not only were the other sons convinced, but the various ministers in the court were also very supportive.
It is precisely this that has also developed his benevolent virtues.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "What if I want to reduce the offerings of the royal descendants? What do you think?"
Cut royal offerings?
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father, why do you do this? The Ming Dynasty's treasury is full, and there is nothing that a few royal descendants can't support?"
"The treasury is full, and there are several royal descendants."
Zhu Yuanzhang repeated Zhu Biao's words, and felt more and more how terrible Su Jing's talent was.
"Biao'er, my father wants to ask you something. How many royal descendants do you think there will be in the Ming Dynasty two hundred years from now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao and said seriously.
Zhu Biao was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about what happened two hundred years ago. Not only would he be gone by then, but his son and grandson would also be gone.
However, after careful calculation, Zhu Biao was shocked.
If based on the current standards for enshrining royal descendants, as long as those with royal blood are supported by the Ming treasury, two hundred years later, the Ming treasury will probably have millions of royal descendants to support!
This is an extremely huge number!
The two huge national treasury can only be a drop in the bucket.
If this enshrinement law continues, the Ming Dynasty will eventually be brought down by the descendants of the Zhu family!
"Father, this..."
Zhu Biao looked at his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, with shock in his eyes.
He couldn't imagine that just the support of some royal descendants could be so terrifying!
"Father, it is my son who has thought inappropriately."
Zhu Biao lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Biao'er, I had the same idea as you before I became a father. I thought it was just a few princes and grandsons. However, if we don't change, Ming Dynasty will collapse without external enemies."
"Is a father the same as a son?"
Zhu Biao raised his head in confusion and said, "Then how did my father discover this problem? Was it Liu Zhongcheng?"
Liu Bowen's talent is well known all over the world, and Zhu Biao naturally thinks of him first.
Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "It's not him, but a businessman from Lishui County named Su Jing. He is very talented!"
merchant!
Zhu Biao was immediately shocked.
He knew very well his father's attitude towards businessmen, but he never expected that there would be a businessman that his father could praise as a great talent.
But thinking about the fate of the country in the past two hundred years, this businessman named Su Jing is indeed a great talent!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and said, "Biao'er, my father has something for you to do. Go to Lishui County, become Su Jing's teacher, and study with him."
