Chapter Forty-Six: The Exiled Prince of Scientific Research

Back in Daqing Mountain, Shen Yue accompanied the general Mu Ying to the mountain, although it was only less than four months, Shen Yue was a little emotional, he was just an insignificant engineer before he crossed, and then he was in tatters and wandered into the wilderness, and now he can gain a foothold in the early Ming Dynasty, with Pinglan Shen Xiangyun and other family members, and brothers from many businesses such as Xing, the turning point in life is really elusive.

"Why are you stunned, King Yan and King Zhou have been waiting in front for a long time, you dragged your family at a young age, you are not allowed to come so nonsense in the future." Mu Ying was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Shen Yue came over this time with her female dependents.

Shen Yue was about to explain, but Pinglan pouted and stood up,

"My lord, it's not right for you to say that, I heard my father say that when the emperor led the troops to fight, Queen Ma also followed all the way, and also sewed clothes and shoes for the soldiers with her own hands, the emperor can do the great tomorrow, and the credit of the queen's mother, and the grain on the mountain was planted by us with Brother Shen, and now that the harvest is over, why is there no business for us."

As soon as she heard her mention Queen Ma, Mu Yingden softened, he was raised by Queen Ma, and he had deep feelings, and he couldn't help but recall the motherly and loving scene of Queen Ma, and said with a smile,

"You little girl is smart and clever, the queen mother is the world, you really have merit for helping to participate in this matter, your father has some knowledge, what does he do?"

Pinglan's eyes dimmed,

"My dad is just an ordinary person, but he is the best dad in the world. At the beginning, our family fled to the cave in front, and my father was captured by the Yuan soldiers when he returned to the village to find food for us, and later he was rescued thanks to Brother Shen, but unfortunately my father was seriously injured and died in a few days, leaving only my mother and my brother to rely on each other. ”

Mu Ying saw that her question aroused the girl's sadness, but she didn't expect that the cultivation of these crops would implicate such a poor family, so she felt some sympathy for Pinglan, and hurriedly comforted,

"Although your father is gone, but with these high-yield crops, the people of the world will remember what your family has done in the future, don't be too sad, if you are willing, I want to accept you as a righteous daughter, okay?"

This sudden proposal made Pinglan a little overwhelmed, but Shen Yue knew Mu Ying's life experience, he was also his father who died early, leaving only the mother and son begging for a living, hearing Pinglan's similar experience, I am afraid that it evokes childhood memories, and empathizes with her pain, this thought is from the heart, if Pinglan can be protected by him, if he is not there in the future, he can live a safe life, and hurriedly pulled Pinglan to bow down to Mu Ying,

"Thank you Uncle Mu, although Lan'er is a little naughty, she is a good boy who is knowledgeable, please give me more guidance in the future."

Ping Lansui is not very comfortable with having an extra father-in-law, but Shen Yue will not harm him, and he is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, he must be doing this for his own good, so he also said respectfully,

"Father-in-law, please bow down to the child."

Getting such a smart and lovely girl to call her father made Mu Ying, who had always been cold, smile on her face, groped her hands on her body, and finally took off a jade pendant from her neck and solemnly put it on Pinglan.

"Good boy, there is no pearl and jade for my father, but this jade pendant was given by the queen when she accepted me as a righteous son, today I will give it to you, and if there is anything in the future, I will come to my father-in-law, who dares to bully you, let him first ask my father-in-law if he has a knife in his hand and agree."

Pinglan saw Mu Ying hand over the jade pendant that carried such precious feelings to herself, and was moved to tears, since her father left, although she was accompanied by Shen Yue and her mother, but in the dead of night, she would still miss her tall and loving father, and the pillar at the bottom of her heart was now supported again, and she felt a mountain of father's love filled in her heart.

Shen Xiangyun saw Pinglan's tears in her eyes, and hurriedly helped her aside to comfort her softly.

"Uncle Mu, just now you said that not only King Yan is here, but which prince is that King Zhou?" Shen Yue asked in a low voice.

"You don't know that he's normal, King Zhou was only changed this year, the original title was King Wu, that is, the fifth prince Zhu Hu, he is the younger brother of King Yan, his child has always been devoted to medicine and agriculture, this time I heard about your high-yield crops, repeatedly pleaded with the emperor, and followed."

Shen Yue does not know the title of these princes, but the name Zhu Hu is impressive, as a keen wilderness survival enthusiast, Shen Yue has paid attention to him in later generations, Zhu Yue has written a book "Saving the Famine Materia Medica", which is a disaster year when food is scarce, the plants that seek food in the wild are introduced in detail, this book is widely circulated, far-reaching influence, and even later generations of Japan have retained translations.

As the prince Zhu Hu is bumpy and frustrated, he was named the queen of Zhou, he opened the domain, because he left the fief to Fengyang without authorization and was convicted, was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to move to Yunnan, although he was pardoned, but when Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, and because he was Zhu Di's brother, he was taken care of, and was demoted to a concubine when cutting the domain, and was expelled to Yunnan again, until Zhu Di seized the throne, he was restored to the throne, but this brother is also a troubled lord, he was reported that he had the intention of rebellion, so that he "apologized to Zhu Di for the death penalty" Mingzhi, He also took the initiative to return his three guards to the court, and lived a life of being watched like a cage until he died.

During his exile in Yunnan, Zhu Hu experienced the hardships of the people, and saw that the living environment of the local residents was not good, there were many people who got sick, and the lack of medicine was very serious, he realized the importance and urgency of compiling prescription books and famine relief works for the people, so he organized good doctors to compile scientific and technological medical works that were convenient and practical, and widely circulated, the most famous ones are "Baosheng Yulu", "Pocket Fang", "Puji Fang" and "Materia Medica", and even Li Shizhen's " The Compendium of Materia Medica and Xu Guangqi's Complete Book of Agricultural Administration have both extracted the essence from them.

Although his political life was bumpy, he developed a serious attitude towards learning, and after the reset, he set up a special botanical garden for scientific research, and it is said that when compiling the "Materia Medica", he first planted the wild plants he collected in the garden, carefully observed, and obtained reliable information. Among them, it is proposed to add the method of adding poisonous celandine to the "pure land" to remove its toxicity, which is theoretically consistent with the color layer adsorption separation method invented by the Russian botanist Zwaite in 1906. It can be seen that this book has relatively high academic value.

For this sad prince of scientific research, regardless of whether he really has the intention of usurping the throne and rebelling, but he can be called an outstanding leader and participant in scientific research, this sympathy and help for the difficult life of the people, Shen Yue has from the bottom of his heart, full of expectations for the upcoming meeting, maybe he can hand over the promotion of new crops to him, and he can also help him to avoid his future hardship for a lifetime, and can make more contributions to medicine and agriculture.
