On this day, Zheng Zhilong summoned a group of high-level officials of the Zheng family to the lobby for discussion.

Led by Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui, most of them are from Zheng Zhilong's generation, and there are a few children in the next generation, but they didn't see Zheng Sen.

In the past few days of persuasion, Zheng Zhilong has never been able to reverse Zheng Sen's attitude towards Daming and loyalty, and he is faintly disappointed in Zheng Sen, but Zheng Zhilong deliberately broke away from Zheng Sen in this meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I feel that the imperial court is afraid that the next step is to prepare to do something to our Zheng family!" Zheng Zhilong said with a heavy face.

"How dare Da Ming?" A senior member of the Zheng family stood up with an angry face and said: "Over the years, our Zheng family has helped Daming to guard the sea frontier for thousands of miles, and there is no merit and hard work, Daming is ungrateful!" ”

"Yes, we must not give in!" The attitude of the Zheng family is unanimous, and they are extremely resolute.

"Don't be impatient, let you wait to come today, I just plan to talk to you in advance, let you have a preparation, and let everyone express a attitude, now I know your attitude, my attitude is the same as everyone, the Zheng family's years of hard work must not be destroyed!" Zheng Zhilong looked around at everyone, and after seeing everyone's attitude, his tone became more resolute.

The Zheng family can be said to have prospered single-handedly by Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong has the absolute right to speak.

As a hero, Zheng Zhilong has his own ambitions, and he will not give up the Zheng family until he is forced to do so.

In the next period of time, while Zheng Zhilong focused on reversing Zheng Sen's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, he was also stepping up to expand his strength, not only the naval division, but also the army.

Zheng Zhilong was unwilling to give up the foundation he had worked hard for more than 20 years to Daming no matter what.

The sailor is good to say, Zheng Zhilong can directly recruit sailors and build warships in the South Seas, and the army is much more obscure than the sailor.

Because the Ninth Army was left in Nanjing by Zhu Ci, the Quanzhou Army was left with only 20 troops, only 20,000 people, and the strength was too small compared to the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong thought that he was doing it secretly, but in fact, he was informed by Zhu Ci, who was far away in Nanjing City, from the very beginning.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong not only put Zheng Sen under house arrest at home, but also secretly expanded the army, it seems that he should be aware of it, and he is preparing for tough and stubborn resistance." Jin Yiwei commanded Peng Cheng to report all the news obtained by Jin Yiwei's secret detectives, and expressed his opinion.

If Zheng Zhilong had really been aware of it and knew that Da Ming was going to make a move against the Zheng family, then his current actions could not be clearer, indicating the attitude of him and the other high-ranking officials of the Zheng family.

"Hmph, I'm not in a hurry, the Zheng family can't turn over my palm, Zheng Zhilong wants to expand his strength, let him expand, no matter how much he expands, it can't change the previous situation of Daming and the Zheng family, maybe Zheng Zhilong's hard work to expand the strength may be cheaper in the near future." There was a faint coldness between Zhu Ci's smiles, and it was impossible for the Zheng family to really resist the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Ci was not in a hurry.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Soon, it was the middle of October, the day the autumn grain harvest began.

This year has been smooth from the beginning, there is no drought at all, there is no doubt that it is a good year, the whole Ming Dynasty is filled with the joy of harvest.

In this important season, the harvest of the three new grains naturally aroused the curiosity of the people all over the world.

Because sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are harvested more than ten days later than traditional rice and wheat, the people are able to keep an eye on the harvest of the three new grains after harvesting their own grains.

"It is rumored that the new grain comes from Nanyang and is a product of foreigners!" In Hubei, a group of people were resting and chatting under the roots of a big tree.

"That's true, when the seeds were sown, Daming Daily reported it a few times!"

"I don't know what the yield is." The people take food as the sky, and this is what this group of people are most concerned about.

"Presumably it should be higher than these ordinary grains we planted, didn't Daming Daily say that when sowing, the emperor made the emperor's list, and paid two taels of silver for an acre of guaranteed purchase." One of the civilians said after analyzing it for a while.

"The price of two taels of silver and one mu is guaranteed to be purchased, which is really enviable!" One of the civilians sighed.

Everyone sighed helplessly, but it was a pity that they were here in Hubei, not around Nanjing, and they were not qualified to plant at all, they didn't have such a good opportunity, unless they waited until the world promoted it, they could get the seeds.

Not to mention the discussions of people all over the country, around Nanjing, those who have planted new grain are also curious about what the harvest of new grain will be. However, although the people around Nanjing City were curious, they were not worried at all because of the price of two taels of silver per mu promised by the imperial court.

The people around Nanjing City waited leisurely for more than ten days, and finally, it was their turn to harvest the new grain they planted.

As for the harvesting of new grain, Zhu Cihean had already prepared, and as soon as the time came, he published the method of harvesting new grain in Daming Daily. And in order to protect the output of the new grain, Zhu Cicheng also sent Jinyi guards to take care of the various places where the new grain was planted, so as to prevent someone from secretly hiding the new grain.

This is also a last resort, Zhu Ciji still wants to promote it to the whole Ming Dynasty on a large scale, but he doesn't want to be stolen by the crazy people as soon as he collects it.

It's not that Zhu Cihesan doesn't believe in the people, but he knows too well the output of the three new grains of sweet potato, potato and corn, even the most inferior corn is more than 700 catties per mu, and the sweet potato and potato are absolutely more than 1,000 catties.

"It turns out that sweet potatoes and potatoes grow in the ground!" A common man said strangely after seeing the new grain harvesting method in Daming Daily.

It is said to be harvested, but in addition to corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes that grow in the soil need to be dug with a hoe, or ploughed with oxen.

As an ox pulls a wooden plough over a sweet potato field, the new grain harvest officially begins.

This was the beginning of a radical change in the grain production of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was likely to open a new era as a result.

At the same time, it is also the beginning of a storm that is about to blow to the Zheng family in Quanzhou.
