"Pour it down! The old man still doesn't believe it! ”

Saying that, under the gaze of the surrounding officials, Xia Yuanji really rolled up his sleeves, took off his shoes, and walked towards the pool with the bucket.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Lord Xia, why are you bothering, come back quickly!" ”

However, Xia Yuanji turned to Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince, and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to persuade me, Weichen still has to see if this pool is 479 barrels today!" ”

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something more, but saw that Xia Yuanji had already stepped into the pool.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi could only shake his head helplessly.

At the same time, a few children on the side couldn't help but say: "Hard mouth......"

The other kid scratched his head and said, "Tou Tie." ”

The youngest one also continued: "It's easy to get beaten when you go out." ”

The words of these three children suddenly made Zhu Gaochi and the others on the side look at each other, but after a moment, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi suddenly remembered something, frowned and looked at Zhu Zhanyong on the side, and said: "Why are the words in the mouths of these children so similar to the words that your eldest brother often has on his lips?" ”

Seeing that his father finally reacted, Zhu Zhanyong had nothing to say, after all, he had come in.

"These children have all studied with the eldest brother for a period of time, and the eldest brother has taught them personally."

But Zhu Gaochi, who heard this, asked again: "This is not your child, is it the boss?" ”

Listening to his father Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Zhanyong was stunned for a moment.

"Dad, what are you talking about, what my child, big brother's child? These children are orphans without a father or mother..... My eldest brother asked me to take them all back and raise them myself. ”

After knowing the inside story, Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized.

When I first entered the door, I saw that this kid was deliberately prevaricating, and after entering the door, I bumped into these dolls, and I thought that this kid didn't want to see these dolls.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but scold the third child: "It's not the illegitimate child you gave birth to outside, what were you procrastinating there when we came in just now?" ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Zhanyong simply pursed his mouth and shut up and stopped talking.

He found out that his family was a puff bag.

Anything is wrong.

Just when Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanyong were talking here, Xia Yuanji in the pool really poured buckets of water out.

One barrel, two barrels, three barrels......

For the sake of fairness, every time Xia Yuanji poured water outside, he also let the three boys outside take a look.

I don't know how many buckets of water were poured in the middle, Xia Yuanji was tired and soaked, but I don't know if it was sweat soaking his clothes, or accidentally spilling it on his clothes when pouring water.

Seeing Xia Yuanji's appearance as the head of the imperial court, Zhu Gaochi really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said to Zhu Zhanyong beside him: "You kid just look at it like this? Go quickly, call some people to come over and replace Lord Xia. ”

Zhu Zhanyong, who was watching the play on the side, could only helplessly follow his father's words.

A moment later, four or five servants from the palace walked over.

There is a bucket in each hand, and the size is the same as the one in Xia Yuanji's hand.

"Lord Xia, you better come out and ask these people to pour water."

Listening to the words of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, this time Xia Yuanji did not refuse, there was no way, he was too tired.

Xia Yuanji, who looks like a weak scholar, where can he do such a thing.

While walking out of this pool, he did not forget to thank the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Then he rested on the chair handed by Zhu Zhanyong.

But even if Xia Yuanji didn't pour water, his eyes were still staring carefully at the people in the pool.

He Xia Yuanji still doesn't believe in this evil, such a pool of water, look at it twice, draw two incomprehensible symbols, and know how many buckets of water can be poured out?

After so many years, he Xia Yuanji has never been so despised in terms of his own talents.

Not to mention that this is only a few and a half years old.

If he loses this face today, let alone what others say about him, even he himself feels ashamed, and most of his life has been read in the belly of a dog.

Seeing that Xia Yuanji was so serious, the six Shangshu and the senior scholars of the cabinet on the side, including the crown prince, could only stand here with dry eyes and wait.

But fortunately, with the help of these four or five subordinates, the speed of pouring water has increased a lot.

More than 400 buckets of water, and more than 300 buckets have been poured in the blink of an eye.

As he saw that the number calculated by the children was about to be reached, and the water in the pool was gradually bottoming out.

The hearts of everyone present couldn't help but pinch up.

If this number is really calculated correctly by these children today, it is certain that he Xia Yuanji will lose face, but even the group of people who are traveling with him will never look good on face.

The six scholars of the entire imperial court and the scholars of the cabinet gathered here, but they were taught a lesson by a few children.

Isn't that nice to say......

However, compared to the rest of them, the three children standing by the pond had relaxed expressions and did not look the slightest nervous.

Not only that, but when I saw this group of adults pouring buckets of water out for such a simple and simple truth, it was just to confirm the truth of this matter.

It always feels like they're energetic and have nowhere to go.

It's just stupid.

There is no need to say much about the look in his eyes.

There is a hint of love in the helplessness.

And the only thing out of the matter is naturally that Zhu Zhanyong, who has been in this place for a long time, and has been by his eldest brother's side for a long time, he has long been used to this feeling.

To put it simply, don't measure this group of perverts by your cognition.....

For example, the little train that could move on its own, if someone told him that before he saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely slap it in the face.

But after seeing it with his own eyes, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Even including the reservoir and canal, whether it is the old man or the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all that can be seen is the role that these reservoirs and canals can play, but these are only a slight embodiment of their own value.

When you understand in detail how hard it is and how long it was built, you will suddenly realize that the saying that man will conquer heaven is really not empty talk.

But how can others understand his own personal feelings?

Looking at Xia Yuanji at this moment, isn't it just like his original self?

Even if you don't believe in evil, there's no way to do it.

Sure enough, as the water in the pond became less and less, Xia Yuanji counted down the numbers while sweating on his forehead.

And the father Zhu Gaochi on the side, the six books and the cabinet scholars, the eyes are also getting bigger and bigger.

Six barrels ....

Five barrels ....

Four barrels ....

Three barrels ....

Two barrels ....

A barrel ....

The rate of pouring water slowed down until the pond was too little to fill in a bucket.

Xia Yuanji stood dejectedly.

stared blankly at everything in front of him.

How can it be.....

How could it be so accurate!

Say 479 barrels, is it really not bad?

But how would he know that there must be an error, for example, pi is an inexhaustible number, which can only be replaced by approximately equal to.

However, when calculating how much water could be filled in that bucket, they calculated it in centimeters, and the final presentation was also cubic centimeters.

The error still exists, but one cubic meter is equal to 1,000,000 cubic centimeters.

When converted to cubic meters, this error is almost negligible.

Not to mention that it is calculated in the form of barrels.

Looking at Xia Yuanji's dejected appearance, many of the six scholars and cabinet scholars on the side seemed to empathize with him.

He also looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

It's not that they can't accept that something strange like this appears in front of their eyes and breaks their perception. What they really couldn't accept was that such a strange thing was happening to these children, breaking their perception of a few and a half years old, who didn't look older than their own grandchildren.

This makes them a group of people who have been proud for most of their lives and boast of being first-class in the Ming Dynasty, how can they accept it.

Looking at the scene in front of him, even the crown prince Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to do at the moment.

After all, the beginning of this incident was also caused by their necessity to compete with these children.

Now that it turns out that they have lost, what should they do?

Just when this scene gradually quieted down and became embarrassed, Zhu Zhanyong saw that it was almost over, and was about to open his mouth to end the matter.

That Xia Yuanji suddenly came to the front of those children, and actually saluted these children respectfully, and said: "Xia Yuanji is arrogant, I was wrong. ”

I have to say that Xia Yuanji's demeanor is really high.

Not only Zhu Zhanyong, but also other ministers on the side were also quite emotional.

It's also quite respectful.

Confucian scholars, there is a word for entry, which is called shameless questioning, and calling the master a teacher.

Although it is simple, there are very few people in the world who can do it.

When those children saw Xia Yuanji bowing to them so calmly and humbly, and admitting defeat.

They were also a little surprised in their hearts, but in the face of Xia Yuanji's salute, they also used the same courtesy.

The prince Zhu Gaochi, who was standing aside and looking at the two parties who were still tense before, but now polite, couldn't help but smile at this moment.

This is the true meaning of Confucianism.

But while sighing, he didn't think that this matter was not caused by Xia Yuanji, but by him, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, himself.

Now he was happy on the sidelines.

At this moment, Xia Yuanji also looked at the children in front of him again, and asked: "Dare to ask, how many talents have been learned, and which sage has they learned?" If there is such a disciple, Xia wants to visit. ”

Hearing Xia Yuanji's words, several children couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhanyong on the side.

Seeing this, Xia Yuanji was no longer silent.

"Lord Xia, these children have been studying with my eldest brother for a while, but then they have been studying with those teachers in the academy in this mansion."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhu Zhanyong with some surprise and said, "Oh? Can I be referral? ”

Looking at Xia Yuanji's still excited look, Zhu Zhanyong thought about it and said, "It's not a big deal, you can come with me." ”

A moment later, in a hall in the house.

Zhu Zhanyong called all the teachers in this house here.

There were thirty-six people in total.

The number of people was so large that it was also a big surprise to them.

And after these people met the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and others, they were not as ignorant as those children.

Just by the clothes they wear, we know their general identity.

They shouted in unison: "Grass people, knock on His Royal Highness the Prince, knock on all scholars, scholars, ......."

Listening to their words, Zhu Gaochi raised his hand casually and said, "Get up quickly." ”

After everyone got up, Zhu Gaochi looked at them with a pleasant face and said: "I just met a few disciples outside, and when I talked with them, I found that all of them were extraordinary. ”

Listening to Zhu Gaochi's praise, although the teachers present were happy, they were quite reserved.

"Don't dare, don't dare, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised ......"

However, Zhu Gaochi said disapprerovingly: "You guys should not be modest. Falsehood or not, this king knows it. If you can teach such a student, how can the teacher be wrong? ”

"It's just that this king has something in his heart that I don't understand, since you have such amazing talents, why don't you participate in the imperial examination and serve the country after entering the office?"

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's puzzled look, everyone present was embarrassed.

Just when Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, the first person immediately explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood, these people such as me are actually candidates who have failed the list, and they originally taught or did other jobs in various places. The reason why we can gather here now is because of the promotion of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. ”

Hearing these words, Zhu Gaochi was also shocked: "With your talents, how can you fall off the list?" ”

As he spoke, he frowned: "This king really didn't expect that the imperial examination system of the imperial court would miss out on so many talents. When he returned to the palace this time, the king discussed the matter with his father. ”

However, the more polite and respectful Zhu Gaochi was, the more embarrassed the teachers present became.

Just as the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was about to say something, he hurriedly took the lead in explaining: "His Royal Highness the crown prince really misunderstood.......

"The imperial examination system of the imperial court has been implemented for hundreds of years, and where do we dare to rely on the imperial imperial examination system. It's really that we people are only shallow in our studies and can't meet the requirements of the imperial court, so we fell off the list. ”

"As for what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, teach the students knowledge. It's not like those of us who are meant to be. The things that we, the teachers, teach the students every day, all come from the teaching materials provided to us by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. To put it bluntly, we are just teachers who watch books teach. ”

Tomato is free to read

"I really can't afford the praise of the prince, and I ask His Royal Highness the prince not to torture me anymore....."

Listening to this person's words, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who originally intended to pack up all these people and take them away, heard that all these things that shocked them came from his son Zhu Zhanji.

For a while, there was really no reaction.

"You mean that the things that teach the students are all provided by my son Zhu Zhanji?"

Faced with Zhu Gaochi's re-inquiry, the person in charge hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly." If it is said that he is talented, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is really a great talent in the world, and he has the ability to go through the heavens and the earth. ”

As the person finished speaking, the other teachers on the side also showed approval and admiration.

Looking at these people's sincere admiration for their own kid, not only Zhu Gaochi, but even the ministers on the side who already knew something about Zhu Zhanji were also very unbelievable.

If it is said that the talent shown by their eldest grandson, His Royal Highness Zhu Zhanji, including the new policies proposed by them, is because of his talent.

So at this moment, after listening to these people's heartfelt admiration, they couldn't help but refresh their understanding of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson.

Originally, they only had some amazement and emotion at His Royal Highness Eldest Sun's talent in politics.

But now, when they understood that all the talents displayed by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson were not because of his talent, but because of his profound talents, the amazement and emotion had already turned into endless admiration.

At a young age, he not only had his unique insight and talent in dealing with politics, but also proposed many new policies to reform the ills of the imperial court.

When the New Deal was introduced, it showed its old and spicy methods.

What they saw in the land of the reservoir and canal today also made them realize that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson still has a very high vision and courage.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of land will be changed from day to day.

Such an idea, let alone the successful implementation, these ministers have never thought of it.

And what they saw and heard in the mining area gave them a glimpse of the various whimsical ideas of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson and his ability to implement them.

Whether it was the buildings, or later gunpowder, steam trains, and so on.

They were all shocked.

But even so, because His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is still young, they regard it as a young talent.

But it wasn't until this moment that they woke up and found that it wasn't because His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was too talented, but because they were self-righteous.

All the actions of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson are based on solid talent and learning.

And after figuring this out, they were finally able to understand why their eldest grandson, His Royal Highness, could do so many shocking things.

It's like a tree that is full of fruit without soil, fertilizer, and water to nourish it.

When people see it, they are only shocked and secretly amazed.

But when they saw that the tree was full of fruit, in fact, had plenty of soil, fertilizer, and water to moisten, it all became a matter of course.

The original feeling of wonder naturally turned into respect and admiration for the master and the sage.

If the reason why these ministers were very respectful to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson before, it was entirely because of his crown prince father and emperor grandfather.

So at this moment, from now on, they are already willing to submit to this eldest grandson, His Royal Highness.

It is the kind of surrender that is taken for granted to the strong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you take out some of the books that the king's boy gave you?"

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's inquiry, the ministers on the side also suddenly came to their senses.

To be able to let these teachers who have failed in front of them teach such students, they are really curious about what kind of books can be done.

What's in it, and what is it?

In the face of the request of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, if someone else came, even if it was the scholars of the six departments and the scholars of the cabinet, they would never agree. But now it is the father of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, the current crown prince.

That's another story.

Thinking of this, everyone nodded.

Then they turned around one by one and went to their respective quarters to get the textbooks.

A moment later, as the thirty-odd teachers walked out with a few books in their hands.

Zhu Gaochi and the others present were completely dumbfounded.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to be able to compile their talents and learning into a book in their lifetime.

But now, these more than 30 teachers, each of them has a few books in their hands.

How much content, how much knowledge, and how much talent must be enough to support him to write so many books?

Just when the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and others stared at all this with wide eyes.

These more than 30 teachers also put stacks of books in their hands in front of them, looking at these mountains of books, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and those six ministries and cabinet officials were at a loss for a while.

But before they could recover from the shock, the teachers on the side said: "These are only a small part, if the others are moved over, it will be too much, His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a look first, if you feel that it is not enough, we will move here." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi and the others were even more dazed.

Look at the pile of books in front of you......

That's it......

Also a small part????

If they all moved in, how many would there be?

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi looked at everything in front of him even more dumbfounded, and thought in his heart: "These books, you said they were all written by that bastard boy in my family?" ”

"Just that big slacker??"

Zhu Gaochi felt that everything that happened today had completely subverted his perception of his own kid.

Every day he looks lazy, doesn't want to do anything, and can't wait to lie in that bed and sleep with him for a day.

But who would have thought that such a person would compile so many books in private.

What's more, this kid really has so much to write about.

Zhu Gaochi really can't imagine what this kid has experienced over the years that he has been managed by the old man in the palace......

But it was useless to think more, and looking at the books in front of them, everyone began to do it.

Take out one of the books on the table and read it carefully.

Although at first glance, they were skeptical and scrutinizing about the contents of these books. However, as they progressed more and more, they were also attracted by the content of the book, especially those officials who had acquired more novel subjects such as science, geography, mathematics, etc.

It was as if these books had opened a completely different door for them.

Of course, the reason why they can read these books so smoothly and unhindered is because the teachers bring them basically books with relatively simple knowledge.

It is considered an introduction to these subjects.

Therefore, after these contents have been pre-replaced by Zhu Zhanji with words that can be understood in this era, these officials, who still have some academic talents in the final analysis, still have no big problem after reading them.

Just when Zhu Gaochi and those officials in this scene were gradually attracted by the content of the book and immersed in the sea of books.

Inside the Fengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace in the capital.

The old man Zhu Di looked at Zheng He who entered through the gate, laughed and walked down from the dragon chair and stood in front of Zheng He.

In today's imperial court, he is the first person who can make the old man Zhu Di act like this.

Zheng He, who used to be a close person to Zhu Di, didn't know this, he deeply understood the closeness and love shown by Zhu Di's move.

In addition to being moved in his heart, he also raised his hands above his head with emotion, bowed to Zhu Di, and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di, who was standing in front of Zheng He, put his hands on his waist, looked at Zheng He on the ground with kind eyes, and said, "Get up." ”

After Zheng He got up, Zhu Di looked around at the civil and military officials in the entire court and said: "Ma Bao, I have followed me in Yunnan since I was a child, and when I was the king of Yan, I led the war horse for me. At the time of the Battle of Jingyan, he was the vanguard of our right army, and he could fight well, and he was by no means under a generation of famous generals! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng He's talent was completely set the tone.

Then he continued: "In the past few years, he has led the treasure fleet to cross the oceans, overcome obstacles, and gain prestige overseas. ”

"This is my Ming genius!"

But after Zheng He heard Zhu Di's praise for himself, he didn't dare to hold himself at all, and said: "Relying on the emperor's heavenly might, the Ming Dynasty's national fortune is prosperous, and it is a prosperous age, Zheng He, how dare he cherish himself." ”

Listening to Zheng He's words, Zhu Di suddenly laughed.

"People say that, I pat myself on the back at the time, you say that..... I believe it. ”

When it came to the end, Zhu Di's face was extremely serious.

It can be seen that the old man Zhu Di trusts and favors Zheng He.

And after hearing Zhu Di say this, Zheng He, who was originally respectful, inevitably showed a trace of a smile that would only be shown when he was by Zhu Di's side in the past.

Thinking of the close relationship between Zheng He and his own little cubs in the past, Zhu Di couldn't help but say: "The second and third ......"

Speaking of this, he found that his boss was not there, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "What about the boss?" Haven't come back yet? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said, "Not yet." ”

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, came to the front of Zheng He, and said cordially: "Brother Ma Bao, we haven't seen each other for some days, let's go public and then private, and after eating the old man's banquet for a while, we will eat our brothers' again." ”

As he spoke, he slapped Zheng He on the shoulder twice.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao on the side, also spoke at this time: "The second child talked to you a few days ago, if you don't come back, as soon as the river freezes, it will be goodbye next spring." I called all the old brothers of our right army back then! ”

Just when the Han King Zhao and Zheng He were talking, Zheng He saw Zhu Zhanji, who was standing under the old man's dragon platform, like a boy, and couldn't help but say to the two princes beside him: "Two princes, let me take a step." ”

After speaking, he got up and came to Zhu Zhanji.

Looking at Zheng He, Zhu Zhanji's face also had a smile on his face.

And Zheng He also bowed to Zhu Zhanji respectfully, and then said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest grandson, what you want the minister to bring back, the minister has found it and brought it back." ”

Hearing Zheng He's words, Zhu Zhanji's face suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Zheng He was also puzzled, and he didn't know why Zhu Zhanji had such an expression.

But in the next second, the old man on the dragon chair spoke for the first time: "Zheng He, what did this kid ask you to bring him?" Speak up and let me hear it. ”

Now Zhu Zhanji is in the eyes of the old man Zhu Di, it is a treasure chest.

From time to time, I can get something good from him, so I look carefully at his every move.

Otherwise, if one doesn't pay attention, maybe the good baby will slip through his fingers.

In fact, why doesn't Zhu Zhanji know the old man's thoughts?

So the moment Zheng He spoke, Zhu Zhanji realized that it was not good.

But it was too late.

Hearing the words of Emperor Zhu Di, Zheng He also hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will bring back some grass and trees in that barbarian land when he travels. ”

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhu Zhanji below and asked, "Stinky boy, let's talk about it, what's the use of bringing these things?" ”

Looking at the old man's smiling gaze, Zhu Zhanji understood that the old man was telling himself not to lie to him, and he couldn't fool him......

But in fact, what did the old man's gaze mean, and he Zhu Zhanji could see it clearly, the King of Zhao and King Han on the side, and the hundreds of officials who accompanied him on the previous trip, none of them knew about his emperor's beating of his grandson Qiufeng.

Facing the old man's questioning, Zhu Zhanji could only say helplessly: "Grandpa, aren't they just some trees, what use can they be, you just worry about it all day, my grandson has never seen the trees in those barbarian places, and he was curious, so he asked Uncle Zheng He to bring it back." ”

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's helpless expression, Zhu Di thought about it carefully, but he didn't think that those plants and trees could be of any use.

Then he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji also breathed a sigh of relief.

If he told the old man about the usefulness of those plants and trees, the old man might have to arrange some errand for him overnight.

And after Zheng He explained to the people of the old Zhu family, he immediately returned to the center of the hall, and then shouted to Zhu Di on the dragon chair: "Minister, Zheng He." In September of the seventh year of Yongle, he was appointed as the chief envoy of the Daming City Bo Division, and the deputy envoys Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian, led 27,000 officers and soldiers, set sail from Liujiagang, Taicang, and sent envoys to Zhancheng, Bintonglong, and Zhenla...... and other countries. ”

"The kings of all countries have sent envoys to pay tribute to Beijing with the treasure fleet."

"Minister, I respectfully ask the emperor to summon you!"

Listening to the ancient names of these countries in Zheng He's mouth, Zhu Zhanji couldn't understand any of them.

Subsequently, with the consent of the old man Zhu Di, the envoys of various countries began to enter the court.

However, with such an uninteresting scene, Zhu Zhanji was really in no mood to waste time here, so when everyone's eyes were focused on the envoys of the various countries who entered at the gate of the palace at any time, Zhu Zhanji secretly walked away from the side of the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, naturally saw what Zhu Zhanji had done, but in this regard, Zhu Di only smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and didn't care about him.

After all, when he was young Zhu Di, wasn't he exactly the same as Zhu Zhanji today?

This kind of pretentious formal etiquette is not wanting to stay too much for a moment.

Even now, he, Zhu Di, is unwilling to do such a thing.

There's really no way, this emperor is his own, and he really can't shirk it.

On the other side, Zhu Zhanji, who secretly went out from the side hall of the Fengtian Temple, immediately ran towards the location of Zheng He's treasure ship on the outskirts of Beijing.

Although the goods and messengers on the treasure ship have all arrived in the capital, there are still a batch of less important goods left on the treasure ship. After all, the manpower to transport these goods is limited, and it is impossible to transport all of them to the capital in the first time, but it is obvious that Zhu Zhanji is already impatient.

He can't wait for that time, these things may be just insignificant things to others, but they are very important to him Zhu Zhanji.

Not only that, but what he wants must be the living plants and trees, not the dead plants and trees.

Since Zheng He said to himself above the court that he had brought these things back, it was obviously still alive when the treasure ship arrived. But if there is no one to take care of this treasure ship, if there is any accident, he Zhu Zhanji will want to cry without tears.

It's not easy for Zheng He to go out this way, especially on a route like the one to North America.

This trip is as little as two or three years, and at most as five, six, seven or eight years.

If he wants Zhu Zhanji to get these things in seven or eight years, he will not die in a hurry.

The most important thing is that these things are only found in North America, and there are no other places at all.

It's also very important.

It's really not possible without these things.

Under Zhu Zhanji's quick horse, he soon came to the wharf of the Yangtze River tributary outside the capital.

After showing his identity token, he immediately came to the treasure ship where the items were placed, led by the seafarers of the treasure ship.

Walking into the cabin of the treasure ship, Zhu Zhanji saw the North American plants and trees he wanted Zheng He to bring back at first glance.

Look at the foliage of these plants and trees, they are quite dense.

Zhu Zhanji also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he instructed these seafarers to take the lead in transporting the plants and trees they needed to the carriage and transport them back to the prince's mansion in the capital.

There is no way, the number of these plants and trees is too small, but they are extremely important, so he, Zhu Zhanji, is not at all at ease to hand over to others to take care of the planting.

And in the backyard of their house, there is also a large open space, which can be planted with these plants and trees. After these plants have taken root and sprouted in their own house, they will find a way to cultivate them.

In short, it is important to ensure the survival of these plants and trees.

And the reason why he, Zhu Zhanji, attaches so much importance to these plants and trees, is because these plants and trees have a very important name, rubber tree and rubber grass!

The role of these plants and plants is reflected in his name, which is to make rubber!

Like in later generations, rubber must be used in many places, such as the most common one, tires.

Of course, in addition to tires, there are many key equipment, which also need to use rubber as a raw material.

It can be said that without the material of rubber, it really can't be made.

But it's only in North America.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the cultivation of this material was regarded as the first priority of the whole country.

It is included in the list of strategic goods.

Although the demand for rubber in the Ming Dynasty is not too great, if Zhu Zhanji wants to change everything in the Ming Dynasty today, then this rubber is really an indispensable thing.

To put it bluntly, if there is even large-scale planting and mass production of these rubbers, I dare not say anything else, and there is no big problem for the Ming Dynasty to enter the bicycle era.

Of course, this is only one point, and it goes without saying how slow the traffic speed was in the Ming Dynasty.

Why?

Tool.

For example, when you think about the carriage, when you think that the wheels are still wooden and iron, you can think about its speed.

However, after Zhu Zhanji had a road made of concrete, he was equipped with tires made of rubber.

Then there is a lot of room for development.

It is entirely possible to even build a steam car that is not too efficient to drive on that concrete.

In addition, when making the steam engine, this rubber can also improve efficiency in many ways.

In short, you can do without rubber, but you must not do without.

Even more significant than heavy metals like silver in some ways.

Thinking that it wouldn't take long to ride a bicycle across the avenues of the capital, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but get excited.

And when Zhu Zhanji hurried back to the prince's mansion with people.

The movement of this thing quickly attracted the attention of the princess of the palace and Hu Shanxiang.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's unprecedented return of a few pots of grass and trees, the crown princess couldn't help but say happily: "This son finally thought of being a good mother, and knew that he would get some plants and trees to come back to please his mother." ”

However, after hearing the princess's words, Zhu Zhanji was taken aback, and hurriedly and cautiously instructed: "Mother, these things are not for you to play with, this thing, the gold is expensive, except for the son on weekdays, you must not let others get close to it, this thing, I raise my son myself, no one should interfere." If anyone dies, no amount of silver will be able to buy it. ”

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, the crown princess was stunned for a moment, although she was more careful after hearing Zhu Zhanji say this, she still said a little unhappily: "This has been fun for a long time, it turned out that it was not brought back by my mother." Yes, white is happy. ”

Listening to his mother's words, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, aren't you just some flowers and plants, Zheng He's treasure ship is back today, don't worry, my son will go to the palace for a while, and see if I can bring some fun things back for my mother." ”

Hearing this, the old lady's face suddenly smiled again, looked at her son, and smiled happily: "Okay, it's better than your father, this son is not in vain." ”

Seeing that his mother was spoiled by his father like an old child, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but cry out for his father in his heart.

But the movements in his hands did not stop for a moment.

It wasn't until all the rubber grass and rubber trees he brought back this time were transplanted into the open space in his small courtyard that Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief.
