"Father, in a few days, the late sweet potatoes planted by my second brother-in-law will be harvested on a large scale.
The child has already made an agreement with his second brother-in-law to go there during the harvest and participate in this grand event together.
Father, do you want to go together? ”
Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.
"Not going!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rejected this matter in one fell swoop, very crisply.
"We already know the yield of sweet potatoes. Before this, we also dug and weighed the sweet potatoes ourselves.
Already know what sweet potatoes look like, what the harvest is like, and what they taste like.
Don't worry about the rest.
Biao'er, you can go when the time comes, we won't go. ”
"Father, this matter is different from before. Those before were just small-scale projects.
Moreover, according to the second brother-in-law, the yields of early sweet potatoes and late sweet potatoes are not the same.
The main reason is that sweet potatoes are planted early and generally take a long time to grow.
So the sweet potatoes here grow larger.
Sweet potatoes are planted late.
Especially this time with the second brother-in-law.
Because late sweet potatoes are grown by transplanting.
There are about ten acres behind, and the planting date is even later.
In this case the output will definitely be different again.
My father went to take a look in person, and he was able to have an idea of what was going on.
Such a large yield of sweet potatoes is the auspiciousness of our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of our people!
It’s also a blessing for my father!
The sweet potato harvest is a grand event.
In this case, how can it be done without my father going? ”
Prince Zhu Biao is still here, speaking to Zhu Yuanzhang to persuade him.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said resolutely: "If you don't want to go, just go, Biao'er.
When you come back, tell us the relevant things, and put all the records in front of us, everything will become particularly clear, quite clear.
What's the difference between going there in person?
It saves you the effort.
Harvesting crops is not an easy job.
Especially harvesting sweet potatoes is more tiring than harvesting wheat or rice.
This thing requires you to dig the ground with your head up and down.
Dig them out of the soil..."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head repeatedly, the reasons he gave were very sufficient and his attitude was very firm.
Zhu Biao said: "Father, this is not just the child and others who want you to go.
The second brother-in-law had the same idea.
The second brother-in-law said that this matter was a major event of the Ming Dynasty.
It would be best if my father could go there in person and participate in it..."
"He really said that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked.
Zhu Biao nodded vigorously and said: "Father, that's what the second brother-in-law said."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "That's what he said, and we won't go either!
Who does he think he is? How much face? Let us go and we will go?
I really think too much! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and started walking.
Looks quite leisurely.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke again: "Let's... go over there.
Biaoer, you are right.
Sweet potatoes are indeed a rare good thing.
It is related to the country, the country, and the people.
From now on, I don’t know how many people will rely on sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.
At this time, a large-scale harvest is about to be harvested. As an emperor, if we don't go and take a look, it is indeed not good.
We have to go over and see how much sweet potatoes are produced per acre tonight.
What is the yield of planting on slopes...
Everything everywhere needs careful consideration.
To promote sweet potatoes in the future, a more appropriate strategy should be developed.
To avoid trouble in the future.
The original intention was to benefit the people, but instead it turned out to be a disaster for the people.
This would not be good.
We don’t do it just for the sake of that bitch Mei Yin!
If you don't mess around with that thing, you won't have such a big face!
If it weren't for the country, the country, and the people, he would even cry and beg us, and we wouldn't even take a look! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said this to Zhu Biao with a proud look.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao immediately nodded vigorously and said: "Yes! Father, you are right!
There is something wrong with the second brother-in-law, and he is really a bastard.
Father, you are worried about the world and the people, so you did this kind of thing.
It has nothing to do with my second brother-in-law!
Father, you are truly a king, you are truly magnanimous. ”
Hearing what Zhu Biao said, Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his body even more.
"That's natural!"
When Zhu Biao saw his father's reaction, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
I think my father is really interesting at this time.
By the way, why did Zhu Biao come over to say these words to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time?
And he still wanted to drag Zhu Yuanzhang to Shuangshui Village to participate in the sweet potato harvest.
Among them, the most fundamental reason is because Zhu Biao knows very well that he follows the temperament of his father.
At a time when a particularly good crop like sweet potatoes is about to be harvested on a large scale.
He must be worried.
I definitely want to go to the fields and participate in this matter myself.
Zhu Biao knew very well whether his father had lived a hard life over the years.
As a prince, he is so busy.
The father is in charge of all matters day by day and is the prime minister of the country's government affairs.
There are all kinds of family affairs and state affairs to worry about.
I am so busy that I only sleep for two hours every day.
From here, we can see how tired our father is.
The sweet potato harvest at this time is a particularly happy event.
And my father, the emperor, was particularly concerned about farming.
How could you not want to come to the fields and participate in the grand event of harvesting sweet potatoes?
By participating in this matter, I can also change my father's mood.
However, Zhu Biao knew his father's temperament very well.
Because of his second brother-in-law, even if his father really wanted to go, he would never be able to bear it.
You must pretend to look down on it...
Under this situation, it is very necessary for me, as a son, to come and meet my father.
And gave some persuasion to his father.
Give your father a step down.
Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with his guesses.
Deep down in his heart, his father also wanted to go.
Otherwise, no matter how much I try to persuade him, my father will definitely not agree.
Of course, in addition to this, Zhu Biao also had another purpose for doing this.
That is to allow my father and second brother-in-law to have more contact with each other through this incident.
In this way, the relationship between the father and the second brother-in-law can be greatly improved.
Zhu Biao was really worried about this family.
After finalizing the matter here, and talking to Zhu Yuanzhang here again, Zhu Biao left.
After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face.
It's better to be a sensible person in your own family.
I was still thinking about the reason for going there during the late sweet potato harvest.
Now, isn’t this the reason?
Moreover, this piece of shit like Mei Yin is different this time.
I knew I was taking my father-in-law with me.
It seems that I gave this guy a Shuang Shui Bo seal, but not a white seal
This bitch finally knows how to do some human things!
Zhu Yuanzhang became very looking forward to it.
After all, these are sweet potatoes!
Very good stuff.
How could I not want to go over and take a look at the harvest and participate in this matter?
Not only are you going there, but you also have to bring some officials there.
You don't need to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to know that he made a notice on his side saying that the sweet potato yield was amazing.
And Mei Yin, that bastard, was made an earl queen because she discovered sweet potatoes.
There will definitely be many people who are dissatisfied.
There are even many people who secretly say that Mei Yin's title was obtained too casually and that they favored Mei Yin and gave him such a good reward.
Then this time, I will get them over and let them take a good look.
Shut up all these bitches.
Look at these bullshit, who dares to talk nonsense!
Thinking like this, suddenly some thoughts came to my mind.
He remembered that every time he went to Shuangshui Village and saw a bastard like Mei Yin, he would be scolded to death.
This time, I met Mei Yinhou there before.
Will he... be scolded by this fucker again?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
Put this idea out of my mind.
I don't think this should be the case. .
After all, Mei Yin, this fucker, has already told me so many times.
He has already rebuked him over and over for the more important matters.
Even if he wanted to reprimand himself, it would be difficult to find any suitable reason.
In addition, there was another thing that made him feel that Mei Yin would never remonstrate with him.
That's according to Biao'er, this trip to Shuangshui Village to see the sweet potato harvest was also a specially made invitation by that bastard Mei Yin.
It would be even more impossible that this bastard would be caught and condemned to death.
You can't mess around with this and that, and invite yourself there just to reprimand yourself, right?
How is that possible!
That bastard shouldn't have the guts to do that!
Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful.
Thinking like this, the worries in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart quickly disappeared.
I am full of expectations for the next trip to Shuangshui Village.
I really want to see what those officials will do after seeing the super high yield of sweet potatoes
What a reaction.
Think about it, except for those who are not familiar with farming.
Others, as long as they know a little bit about farming, will be particularly surprised and shocked by this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made another decision.
He felt that it was not just him, Biao'er and others who went to Shuangshui to harvest sweet potatoes.
The princes in the palace must also be taken out.
Those who are six years old and above are all allowed to experience life.
Let them feel the joy, and at the same time let these children know how food is grown.
I understand how difficult it is to grow things.
Only in this way can we understand the hardship of life in the future.
Understand the sufferings of the people.
The eldest, second, third, fourth, fifth and others in my family were all born relatively early.
To some extent, I caught some hard-working tails.
But the remaining children have never suffered much since they were born.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed necessary for them to follow them there to experience it.
Lest my son might end up with some bastards who don’t distinguish between grains and grains!
That would be too uncomfortable and disappointing!
……
In Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin got up to feed the pigs early in the morning, but she heard unexpected news.
Someone came to report that a thief with evil intentions was caught last night.
I came to the village in the middle of the night, and I was very arrogant.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person.
Come and ask Mei Yin how to deal with this consort.
After hearing the news, Mei Yin was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised.
After he came to Shuangshui Village, he rarely encountered thieves who dared to come here to seek death.
After all, the identities of myself and my little wife are kept here.
Even if she is farming the land and feeding pigs, she is still the consort and princess of the dynasty.
This status is enough for many people.
Moreover, this place is under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu City.
The deterrent power of the royal family is stronger.
Not to mention that the prince Zhu Biao also recruited a hundred of the prince's personal troops and stationed them here.
There are also some veterans of Li Jinglong's family, plus himself, a big villager, who organized Qingzhuang himself to form a militia organization.
Patrols are also conducted at night.
I say this is an ordinary Zhuangzi, but in fact it can be called an important town with soldiers and horses stationed there.
Under such circumstances, there will be no thieves who can't think of anything and come here to do something they shouldn't do...
Mei Yin felt strange for a moment.
"What did that person say? Where did he come from? What are you going to do?"
he asked while feeding the pigs.
"Reporting to Mr. Mei, that man...that man said he was not a thief.
He said he came to see you, Mr. Mei.
But...where can anyone come to visit in the middle of the night?
This designation meant that I was caught doing something wrong, so I just made up some random reasons to excuse myself.
After hearing what this man said, Mei Yin couldn't help but nodded.
It makes sense.
This was also the first time he heard that someone came to visit someone in the middle of the night.
"The thief also said that he was an official and had been banned from ten thousand households.
This is even more nonsense.
Half of the man's hair was singed and there were burns on his face.
He looked extremely embarrassed.
How can I, an official of the Ming Dynasty, be like this..."
The man said with some ridicule.
Mei Yin was stunned for a moment.
Ten thousand households?
Why does this... sound familiar?
"Did he say what his name was?"
Mei Yin paused while feeding the pigs. "Mr. Mei, he said..."
The man thought for a moment and then said: "His name is Tao Chengdao, yes, it's Tao Chengdao!"
Mei Yin has long been a prince consort, and now he has been granted the title Shuang Shui Bo, with a title attached to him.
But many people here still prefer to call him Mr. Mei.
Because they think this title is more appropriate and more respectful.
Mei Yin also likes them to call him Mr. Mei.
So I called it that.
Tao Chengdao?
Have you ever been banned from ten thousand households?
This...
Mei Yin couldn't hold it any longer.
A lot of news about Tao Chengdao suddenly appeared in his mind.
The most famous among them is Tao Chengdao, Tao Wanhu, who made a lot of rockets, tied them to chairs, lit them, and flew into the sky.
Then he rushed into the air and blew himself up.
He is a serious man, the first man to fly into the sky!
Not to mention anything else, just his spirit is worthy of admiration and a high look.
If nothing else, just this incident can make people know that Tao Chengdao definitely has extraordinary beliefs in matters such as making firearms and aerospace.
People like him are indeed worthy of respect.
What's more important is that now I have come to this era.
I want to make some changes, push the world forward, and take another path.
In this case, the development of firearms is particularly important.
Talents like Tao Chengdao who specialize in firearms are extremely precious.
Especially in today's general atmosphere of learning civil and martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family.
Tao Chengdao is so obsessed with this firearm and has made many achievements, which makes it even more precious.
Immediately:
"Where is he? Go and bring him over to see me!
No...I'll go with you to see him in person! ”
Mei Yin said, and quickly poured the remaining pig food into the pig trough.
He called to this man and hurriedly went with him.
The person who came to report the news was stunned when he heard Mei Yin's words and saw Mei Yin's attitude.
My heart was filled with astonishment.
No... is that person telling the truth?
He actually...really came to visit Mr. Mei?
And...the identities he mentioned are all true? !
This... this is too unbelievable, right?
How can anyone come to visit someone in the middle of the night?
Who would believe that a man who has been banned from thousands of households still looks like this?
After being stunned, he suddenly panicked.
I know that this time, one of them might have made a big mistake!
He didn't dare to say anything else and hurriedly led Mei Yin there...
It didn't take long before we arrived at a guard house at the end of the village.
There are two people guarding here.
When they saw Mei Yin, they all said hello to Mei Yin.
Mei Yin nodded to them and walked in.
I saw a middle-aged man tied up.
This middle-aged man is not tall and has a slovenly appearance.
The hair was burnt a lot.
There are some burns on the face...
"Are you Tao Chengdao, Tao Wanhu?"
Han Cheng looked at this man and asked.
Tao Chengdao quickly explained: "Yes, I am Tao Chengdao, and I really came to visit Prince Consort Mei.
Not a thief! ”
After Mei Yin confirmed Tao Chengdao's identity, he immediately took matters into his own hands and untied the rope from Tao Chengdao's body.
"Mr. Tao, I am Mei Yin. I have made you suffer, Mr. Tao. I did not treat you well and caused this misunderstanding..."
Tao Chengdao waved his hands hurriedly when he heard this, looking at Mei Yin with surprise and joy.
Unexpectedly, this is Consort Mei!
This plum consort is not only very talented in firearms.
They made flintlock muskets and Hongwu cannons, the kind of shocking things.
He is actually so handsome, with a talented appearance and a dignified appearance, just like Pan An!
Very few people can take advantage of all of these!
But now, this Mei Consort is all in one!
"You...are Mei's consort?"
Tao Chengdao asked excitedly.
"Great! Finally meet you!"
After saying that, he hurriedly saluted Mei Yin.
"Yesterday afternoon, His Majesty called Wei Chen over, showed Wei Chen the flintlock gun, and told Wei Chen about what you did, Mr. Mei.
Wei Chen felt completely shocked.
I just want to see you, Mr. Mei, as soon as possible.
Originally, I wanted to leave this morning, but after I got back, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t sit still.
I just want to see Mr. Mei sooner.
So I set off in the evening and traveled all night...
Who would have thought that after arriving here, there would be some misunderstandings..."
"This matter was offended by people on my side."
Tao Chengdao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I came too abruptly, and the time is indeed inappropriate.
Being caught as a thief is completely normal..."
Seeing Tao Chengdao and Mei Yin talking like this, those who arrested Tao Chengdao were dumbfounded.
He looked particularly stunned and nervous.
This... is actually true?
Then this fun is going to be a bit too much!
"Mr. Mei, we..."
The people guarding here and the people who went to inform Mei Yin were a little panicked and wanted to explain to Mei Yin.
Mei Yin waved his hand and said: "This is a misunderstanding, I don't blame you.
You are dedicated to your duties and deserve to be commended.
That’s how you should be so conscientious! ”
Hearing what Mei Yin said, these people were immediately relieved and moved.
At the same time, it also strengthened the belief that in the future, patrols would be better on this Zhuangzi.
"Mei Prince Consort, I am in charge of Ming Dynasty's firearms manufacturing and other matters.
This... can you take a look at the Hongwu Cannon?
By the way, Wei Chen already asked His Majesty about this matter yesterday.
Your Majesty said that there is nothing to hide from the ministers..."
After following Mei Yin for a few steps, before reaching Mei Yin's house, Tao Chengdao couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and start talking.
He actually didn't even plan to go to the Mei Yin family, but wanted to see the Hongwu Cannon first.
Mei Yin said: "The Hongwu Cannon is over there, you can see it at any time.
These will certainly not be hidden from Mr. Tao.
However, it's still early now, so it's not too late to have breakfast before going.
Mr. Tao came all the way, so he probably didn’t have a meal, right?
Let's pad your belly first. ”
Mei Yin said to Tao Chengdao with a smile.
Some were afraid that Tao Cheng would reveal something unexpected.
After all, it can be seen from this glance that Tao Chengdao traveled most of the night yesterday and did not rest after coming here. He was quickly caught by his own people and imprisoned.
Moreover, Tao Chengdao was still injured.
I asked the previous guard and found out that he had these injuries on him when he came here.
Then Tao Chengdao is even more difficult.
Under such circumstances, Mei Yin naturally had to consider Tao Chengdao's physical problems,
I am tired, hungry, sleepy, and injured.
Don't tighten the string too tightly.
Talents like Tao Chengdao are hard to find.
In the future, I will also count on him to do more research on firearms.
It would be a pity if something bad happened because of this.
Tao Chengdao shook his head: "Consort Mei, don't be in a hurry to eat, I'm not hungry
Let’s go see the Hongwu Cannon right now.
That thing is more delicious than any other food, and it resists hunger! ”
Li Jinglong, who was following him, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard what Tao Chengdao said.
I feel that Tao Chengdao is really too rude.
Even if he came to visit in the middle of the night, he didn't inform or say anything in advance, and he didn't even bring or mention any gifts.
As a result, now, his second uncle invited him to sit at home and have some food, but he still refused!
Where is such a person?
Although my second uncle doesn't care much about these nonsense, he can't do this!
My second uncle had such a good temper and no airs that he allowed these people to take advantage of him.
My second uncle should be tougher under appropriate circumstances.
Let Tao Chengdao know some rules.
As he was thinking this, he heard Mei Yin's voice.
"Okay, since Mr. Tao thinks so, let's go see the Hongwu Cannon first, and then talk about anything else."
Mei Yin nodded in agreement without looking angry at all.
He was really not angry and in a really good mood.
As the saying goes, you can't live without being crazy or demonic.
What he needs is someone like Tao Chengdao who is obsessed and trapped.
Only such people will be more likely to achieve something in the future.
For a person who is so pure, devoted to firearms, and regards firearms as more important than anything else.
How could he care more about him?
When Tao Chengdao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
Immediately follow Mei Yin to see the Hongwu Cannon.
When Li Jinglong saw this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
My second uncle's temper is really good.
And this Tao Chengdao was really lucky to meet his second uncle.
Otherwise, his series of actions will definitely make others dislike him.
After walking for a while, we soon came to the place where the Hongwu cannon was stored.
Mei Yin and Tao Chengdao worked together to remove the camouflage from the Hongwu cannon.
The Hongwu cannon below was exposed.
After seeing the Hongwu cannon appearing in front of him, Tao Chengdao's eyes suddenly went straight!
The whole person's mental state is very different from before!
He stared at the Hongwu Cannon with unblinking eyes.
After turning around and looking at it carefully for a while, I couldn't help but gently stretched out my hand to touch the Hongwu cannon,
It seems like the movements are so gentle.
It's almost like facing your first love.
He looked at it with excitement and concentration.
It seemed that all of a sudden, all the sounds and people around him were blocked.
Completely immersed in his own world.
Mei Yin stood on the side, looking at Tao Chengdao's reactions, and she became even happier.
This Tao Chengdao is indeed very good.
With a person like him here, I will provide some corresponding inspiration and guidance in the future.
Tao Chengdao will definitely be able to grow at a faster rate.
"What a work of art! It's really a work of art!!"
After a while, Tao Chengdao finally came to his senses.
Looking at Mei Yin, his expression was filled with excitement and he praised her loudly.
"Mei Fu Ma, you are really amazing!
How did you come up with the idea?
What a genius! ”
He looked at Mei Yin and said this, feeling particularly respectful and excited.
"Mei Prince Consort, when you were casting the barrel of this cannon, did you use such a method..."
As Tao Chengdao spoke, he began to look at Mei Yin and couldn't wait to ask for advice.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
When other people came to see this Hongwu Cannon, most of them were just amazed at its size.
After learning about its range, you will be amazed at its long range and powerful power.
And can think of some uses for it.
But apart from that, it is not easy to think of anything else.
But Tao Chengdao was different.
Tao Chengdao was really immersed in this firearm.
Learned a lot.
At this time, it was immediately obvious that many things were different.
Here he looked at Mei Yin and asked for advice.
Did he know that increasing the power of the artillery so much was not just as simple as making it bigger according to the original method.
There are many problems that need to be overcome...
Because of this, he respected Mei Yin even more.
Looking at Mei Yin, there was light in both eyes.
Just by watching Mei Yin's Hongwu cannon here, he had already been inspired in this short period of time.
I have figured out several difficult problems that could not be solved before.
His ability in firearms production will be greatly improved as a result, and it can be said that he will benefit endlessly.
Under such circumstances, how could he not be excited and respectful when facing Mei Yin?
Over the years, he has always been at the forefront when it comes to firearms and is respected by many people who ask questions.
But now, things are suddenly reversed!
Mei Yin's appearance gave him too many surprises.
He is not without pride when it comes to firearms.
But after seeing what Mei Yin had made, especially at this time, after seeing the Hongwu cannon with his own eyes, the arrogance in his heart had long since disappeared.
All that is left is full of admiration!
"Yes, this method is adopted, but just adopting this method is not enough.
When casting, you should also adjust the corresponding proportions..."
Mei Yin didn't hide anything and started answering Tao Chengdao's questions directly.
He himself wanted to teach him the things he had gained through the system.
Here in Ming Dynasty, plant the corresponding seeds and let them bloom and bear fruit next.
Have a very good future.
At this time, I met Tao Chengdao, a person who specializes in firearms, is very talented in research, and dares to fight for the most important thing.
Mei Yin will definitely give him everything he has!
Li Jinglong on the side looked at this scene and felt that his second uncle had a really good temper.
This Tao Chengdao is really lucky
He also met people like his uncle.
Otherwise, with his many rude actions before and his behavior of asking for advice on core secrets just after meeting him, he will definitely be driven away.
You might even get your legs broken...
After asking for advice, Tao Chengdao's eyes lit up and he became more excited the more he listened.
Many questions that had been bothering me for a long time suddenly became clear at this moment, and I received so much inspiration!
If I could have met Mr. Mei earlier, my achievements would definitely be more than this!
"Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao will come from Mr. Tao's side to find someone to make the Hongwu cannon.
In addition to these, I have a more important good thing to say to Mr. Tao. ”
After Tao Chengdao heard what Mei Yin said, he suddenly became more solemn.
I am all ears here, with great expectations in my heart.
Mr. Mei just said so much to himself, and he got a lot of good things.
At this time, it must be even more extraordinary to say these words so solemnly.
He really wanted to know what Mr. Mei was going to say...(End of Chapter)
