"Look at Mu Cheng, this place is also so poor that you are to death!" Zhu Gaoxian dislikes him very much, but although people are poor, there are people, which is a point that Zhu Gaoxian envies.

In addition, the sea area must be controlled, and the control of the sea in the future is directly related to the national fortune of a country.

It's just that these are not recognized by the Ming people at this time.

Zhu Neng laughed, but his eyes were staring at the Strait of Malacca, "Your Highness, there are many people in Fujian and few places, mainly relying on maritime trade, since I have taken this road, I naturally want to protect them, this Strait of Malacca will be handed over to the last general, I will bring three warships over to eliminate Chen Zuyi earlier, and let my Ming merchant ships suffer less losses." ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "I'll leave this matter to you." You and Ma Sanbao bring ten warships, five battleships, five cruisers. I didn't intend to lose money on this trip, so I bet on you. Battles can't be fought in vain! ”

Zhu Neng laughed, "Okay, it's wrapped up in the last general!" But ......"

Zhu Neng was very hesitant, could he take Ma Ma Sanbao with him? Taken away, who serves His Highness?

"Sam Bao is very good at sailing, you are a general who fights on land, I am not worried that you will not be able to fight, I am afraid that you will get lost at sea." What does Zhu Gaoxian know about Zhu Neng scruples?

Zhu Neng was speechless, so he had to say, "Yes, the last general will listen to His Highness!" ”

When Ke Rigang's ship left, Gu Yun took an old president elected by the ten societies on Xiaoliuqiu Island, accompanied by two young people, to see Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Gaoxian was crooked on the deck blowing the cool morning breeze, with a glass of coconut water next to him and a sun umbrella above his head. The sea breeze made him drowsy.

The dog cautiously approached and whispered, "Your Highness, the people from the small Ryukyu Island are here!" ”

"No, let Jingqing go and see, I've done all the work, what else do you want them to do?" Zhu Gaoxian turned over, just a small island, and there was no political power, he saw an old man, he couldn't speak clearly, what was going on?

For Zhu Gaoxian, Taiwan Island is an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty in any case, and there is no need to divide it. In the future, the Ming Dynasty only needs to establish a military base on the island and use it as a base to expand the scope of maritime hegemony.

The inhabitants of the island can do it if they want to do it, and if they don't want to do it, they can move away.

The dog said, "Yes! ”

He left lightly on tiptoe again, and when he reached the second floor, someone called Jing Qing, he first bent down and saluted, and then hung up a heart, "Lord Jing, this matter on Xiaoliuqiu Island will be handled by you." ”

Where does Jingqing know the thoughts of the superiors, this small Ryukyu island country is not a country, I heard that it is still the era of slash-and-burn farming, and it was in the hands of the Japanese pirates, acting as a slave of the pirates, and now the Ming Dynasty has landed on the island, but do you really want to take care of this island, is it cost-effective?

Jing Qing thought about it, this work can't be pushed off, so he asked the dog, "I don't know what His Highness thinks of this small Ryukyu Island?" The island is small in size and has a limited population, so its output is really limited. In the past, there were many people from Fuzhou and other places, and later, Emperor Taizu Gao asked people to return to their hometowns, and this time they came, all of them were locals. ”

The dog also understood Jing Qing's thoughts, and he said, "Your Highness said before that this island has been a part of my Central Plains since ancient times, and this has nothing to do with people or output. Besides, this island is at the door of one's own house, and if you don't look at it, it will be a headache if it is occupied by thieves and bandits like before, and you will be harassed at every turn. ”

Jing Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "My father-in-law is reasonable!" It's a pity that I'm on the ship right now, and when I get ashore, I invite my father-in-law to drink. ”

"Haha, okay, but I don't know, how is this wine outside compared to my Ming?"

"Naturally, it's not as fragrant as my Daming's wine, but, first, it's better than nothing, and second, to express my gratitude."

"Don't dare, they are all doing things for His Highness, regardless of each other, only if His Highness is good, we can be good."

"Father-in-law Gao Jian!"

Jing Qing met with the temporarily elected chief on Xiaoliuqiu Island on the deck of the first floor, and this chief did not have the consciousness of being a chief for the time being, he was trembling, his eyes did not dare to look in all directions, it seemed that there was a devil in the water, and he would suddenly burst out and eat him.

Who would have thought that people living on islands would be afraid of water!

"Xiaoliuqiu Island has always been a part of my Central Plains, and the coastline in the middle is only more than two hundred miles away, and since the Sui Dynasty, the residents on both sides have had contacts!" Jing Qing is talking nonsense with his eyes closed, and the people who had dealings with the Central Plains before were not the residents of Xiaoliuqiu Island at all, but the residents of the Penghu Islands, which are very different from the residents of Xiaoliuqiu Island.

The interpreter told Jingqing's words to the temporary chief, and the temporary chief didn't know whether he understood or not, so he nodded and said that he understood.

"In the future, you must not have any dealings with the Japanese pirates, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will be sentenced to the crime of collaborating with the enemy."

Jing Qing finally understood why His Royal Highness refused to see these people, in fact, this was said in vain, because they didn't understand the "Da Ming Law" at all, and naturally they didn't know what the so-called crime of collaborating with the enemy meant?

After saying a few words, Jingqing sent off the guest.

Zhu Gaoxian woke up, he was in a good mood, drank a glass of coconut water, and asked, "The people on Xiaoliuqiu Island are gone?" ”

The dog hunched over and laughed, "Not yet, Lord Jing is eating with the three of them." ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Presumably they can't get used to our food, so let's do it, people can't ask people to go back empty-handed, you go find a bell, give it to their chief, let him hang it around his neck, in the future, he is my Ming people, I Ming will not let the Japanese or outsiders land on the island, and protect his safety for generations." ”

"Yes!"

The dog thought that the bell could not be rusted, but there was no one on the main ship, so he had to find someone to find it on the merchant ship, and finally got a few silver bells from a merchant ship in Ningbo.

Zhu Gaoxian picked the largest one for the dog and asked the dog to take it to the people of Xiaoliuqiu Island.

Just as Jingqing was about to send the three people off the ship, the dog rushed over and gave the silver bell to the man, "This is the reward of my Fourth Highness of the Ming Dynasty, hang this bell, from now on, you will be my people of the Ming Dynasty." I, the Ming Dynasty, will protect the peace of all generations. ”

The temporary chief took the bell in both hands, and for it had a long rope on it, and when he lifted it up, he looked at it, and hung it respectfully around his neck, which hung right down on his chest.

Zhu Gaoxian just repeated the history, "The Legend of the East", Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, "the navigation told Zhuyi, the east and the east alone, did not listen to the contract, so the family Yi a copper bell, so that the neck, is still a treasure."

Before Ke Rigang left, Zhu Neng was ordered by Zhu Gaoxian to lead ten warships to the southwest.

Ke Rigang's ship was no more than ten miles per hour, and watching the battleship set off snow-white waves and fly away, he guessed something, and his heart was excited.

Daming's warship was about to make a move on Chen Zuyi, and he suddenly felt that he had been chased by pirates for the past ten days, with a knife hanging around his neck, and he was always worried, everything was worth it.

From then on, wherever the Ming warships went, their merchant ships could arrive.

Seeing the Ming warship marching westward, the accompanying merchant ships couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?" ”

A person who knows the details explained, "Ke's merchant ship was robbed, saying that there were pirates on the Western side, early in the morning, the Ming warship had already sunk some of them, and now rush over, it should be to wipe them out." ”

"Great, these scourges should have been cleaned up a long time ago. This time I met my Ming warship, and they deserved to be unlucky! ”

"No, if you go out in the future, you don't have to be afraid."

Zhu Gaoxian waited for the warships to leave, he stood on the deck of the third floor, looked at the direction of Zhancheng, and said, "Send the order to go down, order all merchant ships to move at full speed, and the next stop is Zhancheng." ”

If Zhu Gaoxian's warship can reach Zhancheng in a day and night. However, the merchant ship sailed on a sail, and although it was a tailwind, it still took ten days and nights in the past, which was exceptionally smooth.

At this time, the ten warships led by Zhu Neng had long since disappeared.

The port near the sea is called Xinzhou, which reaches Annan in the west and Daming in the north.

When the warship of the Ming Dynasty arrived, the Lai of Champa wore a crown of golden flowers on his head, a brocade handkerchief on his body, gold bracelets on his arms and legs, tortoiseshell shoes on his feet, and an eight-treasure square scarf on his waist, just like the Vajra Bodhisattva in the temple, sitting on an elephant waiting for the arrival of the four princes of the Ming Dynasty.

In front and behind him, there were four or five hundred soldiers, or holding bladed short guns, or dancing leather cards, beating good drums, blowing coconut flute shell tubes, and the scene was very mighty.

Seeing the warship docking, Chamba Lai hurriedly got down from the elephant, went to the dock in person, knelt on the thick carpet, and walked to Zhu Gaoxian's feet, prostrate and feel the grace of heaven.

Zhang Fu followed beside him, he came by land transport vehicle, and saw Zhu Gaoxian step forward, kneeling on the ground, and choked up, "Fourth Highness, the minister is too late!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian grabbed his arm, "Get up!" ”

After Zhang Fu got up, he turned around and followed behind Zhu Gaoxian, he heard that Zhu Gaoxian was sailing, so he waited here, waited for a long time, and finally waited for the Fourth Highness.

After the interpreter stepped forward and gave the order to exempt Zhu Gaoxian from courtesy, Zhanba's Lai stood up, and he was followed by Sheyang.

She Yang should have led 100,000 Cham troops to Daming to support the construction of roads, after Daming turned around, for Daming, he yearned for Daming from the heart, and also knew that Daming could have such earth-shaking changes, all because of the young man in front of him.

He has a long body and a jade stand, a Han jade hairpin curls his crow-like hair, he came from afar, but he did not see the servants and dust, a moon-white rolling silver dragon pattern robe, a jade belt around his waist, a purse of the same color on one side of his waist, and an ancient jade hanging on the other side, which was restrained and restrained, but it made people look up.

A straight cement road leads to the front, Zhu Gaoxian stood at the end of the road and looked ahead, and asked, "Where does this road lead?" ”

Zhang Fu hurriedly said, "From here, I have been able to reach the territory of my Daming, what the minister thinks is that once there is something here, my Daming's car will be able to come from morning and evening, leading here, and with this road, the rubber will be much more convenient in the process of transportation." ”

He smiled, "Champa is also grateful to see that we are willing to help them build roads. ”

Zhu Gaoxian nodded, "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, the eternal truth, only by communicating with each other, can we achieve common prosperity." ”

These words were addressed to the Cham people.

Zhang Fu means that once the city is disobedient, the army of the Ming Dynasty will be able to come in the morning and evening, and the manpower, material and financial resources spent on this road are all Zhancheng, but it is the Ming Dynasty who profits.

Of course, at the same time, it is also convenient for the people of Champa, which is also the "win-win" law advocated by the Four Highnesses.

Zhanba's Lai wanted to invite Zhu Gaoxian to sit in his elephant car, if Zhu Gaoxian could sit on it, it would be the glory of the Champa state, but at this time, three open-top cars slowly drove ashore from the warship.

The first convertible drove in front of Zhu Gaoxian, and Zhu Gaoxian invited Lai and Zhang Fu of Zhanba, "Let's get in the car together?" ”

The interpreter translated next to him and asked Champa Dirai, "His Royal Highness asks His Royal Highness the King to get on the bus together, does His Royal Highness take the elephant or ride in His Highness's car?" ”

Originally, it was supposed to be called "His Majesty the King", but in front of the Ming Dynasty, who dared to call himself "His Majesty"?

Zhang Fu smiled and said to Zhanba's Lai, "His Royal Highness the King of Zhannan, if you don't take this car this time, I'm afraid you will have a chance for a long time in the future." ”

Zhu Gaoxian sat in the first car, Zhang Fu and Jing Qing accompanied him, Lai and Sheyang of Zhanba should sit in the second car, the two sat in the back row, the car started, and it was difficult to sit still, because they were too nervous, and there was no discomfort such as motion sickness.

The third car sat Zhu Gaoxian's generals, inside and outside are heavily armed sergeants, the muzzles of the guns are aimed at the deep jungle on both sides of the road, and there are also Ming troops arranged by Zhang Fu in the jungle, so there is no need to worry about the security of this road.

On the cement road in less than an hour, the car entered Indra, the city of the king's residence.

Look at the city wall of the capital, build up with stones, a total of four gates, the scale is about the same as the city wall of the county town of Daming, enter from the city gate, also build a cement road, go straight to the palace in the center.

Zhu Gaoxian fell asleep in the car, and when the car stopped, he woke up.

At this time, the car behind had already followed, and Lai and Sheyang of Zhanba had already gotten off the car with weak legs, knelt on the ground, and respectfully invited Zhu Gaoxian to enter the palace.

The car was lightning fast, but very steady. Zhanba's Lai didn't see any carts, let alone anyone pulling carts, but the carts were galloping, which can only show one point, this is the immortal weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming has entered the fairyland.

The palace looked taller than the other houses, covered with slender tiles, and the walls around it were made of brick and plaster, and the gates were carved out of hardwood, in the shape of animals.

Zhanba's Lai and Sheyang should lead the way in front, Zhu Gaoxian followed in, there was a long and exquisite carpet on the ground, and when they arrived in the main hall, Zhanba's Lai asked Zhu Gaoxian to sit.

Zhu Gaoxian did not shirk, sat down in the first place, in front of him was a piece of eucalyptus, which was already full of food, a large plate of fish, and the smell of it could be smelled from a distance of a foot, the wine made of rice, and the wriggling maggots could be seen on the wall of the cup.

Zhu Gaoxian's overnight meal was about to vomit out, he glanced at Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu had no choice but to explain, "They are here, just this custom, the fish is not rotten or eaten, and the maggots are not beautiful." ”

Zhu Gaoxian pushed the eucalyptus forward, "This king is not hungry, reward it!" ”

Since it's such a delicious food, just give it to whoever wants to eat it!

What are you kidding, I am in the kingdom of heaven, and I don't get tired of eating, how can I eat rotten fish and drink raw maggots?

Champa Lai didn't know what was happening and trembled.

Sun Tzu Sheyang should have said that the Ming Dynasty can have today, all of which were brought by the Four Highnesses, which means that the Four Highnesses have entered the immortal class, and their status is not low.

"Your Highness, is the food not to your taste, can you allow the ministers to ask someone to prepare the food of the Ming Dynasty for you?"

Zhu Gaoxian was indeed a little hungry, but he didn't dare to eat a bite of the food in Zhancheng, and no one knew what dark dishes the people here would prepare for themselves.

"What kind of fruit? Serve with a little fruit. After Zhu Gaoxian finished his order, he asked Zhang Fudao, "Who is the governor sent by my father?" ”

Zhang Ben knelt forward, "Your Highness, there is no one available in the imperial court for the time being, and the ministers are the governors of the two places." Because there are important things to deal with, the minister did not go to the dock to greet His Highness, and asked His Highness to atone for his sins! ”

Zhu Gaoxian knew that something terrible must have happened, otherwise, Zhang Ben would definitely have to greet him, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, there is a kind of blue incense produced on a big mountain here, the fragrance is peculiar, there is no place in the world, the price is very expensive, and it is exchanged for silver taels. Two days ago, the minister received a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness, and he wanted to sell the blue incense here to Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu has already arrived, and there is a conflict with this place, so the minister has to stay here to deal with it. ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhanba's Lai, he had already knelt on the ground, "Your Royal Highness, this plus blue incense is unique, every year the ministers have to pay tribute to the Ming Palace, if all of them are represented by people, what will the ministers pay tribute to in the future?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian didn't pay attention to Zhanba's Lai, and asked Zhang Ben, "What about Zhang Xu?" Why didn't you come to see the king? ”

Zhang Ben wiped the sweat from his forehead and said busily, "The minister will go and proclaim!" ”

"Not busy!" Zhu Gaoxian raised his sleeve robe and said to Zhang Fu, "You bring a few soldiers and show Zhang Xu to this king, and this king has something important to ask him in a while!" ”

Seeing this, Zhanba's Lai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully, "Fourth Highness, the minister has ebony here, it is as black as iron, and the price of blue incense is better than gold, and Guanyin bamboo is also not found anywhere else, the minister has prepared some, and wants to supply it to His Highness, and please ask His Highness to smile!" ”

Someone gave a gift, Zhu Gaoxian naturally didn't say no, and asked Sheyang, "How is my Daming bicycle riding?" ”

Sheyang's bicycle was given to him by Zhang Fu when he entered the city that day, and Sheyangshould regard it as his life, so he hurriedly stepped forward, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!" ”

He looked at Zhu Gaoxian bravely, "Can the minister buy a car like His Highness?" It doesn't have to be as good as His Highness, but the kind that can run, and it will be much more convenient for the minister to travel from Champa to the capital in the future! ”

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "Naturally, a car costs 500,000 taels of silver, although it is a little expensive, but you also know that this car is not an ordinary thing, it is a magic weapon that can run automatically, if you are not too expensive, you can discuss it with Zhang Ben." ”

Zhang Benxin said, when will the price of this car rise again? Isn't it 200,000 taels? However, since His Royal Highness clearly said that it was 500,000 taels, Zhang Ben naturally would not say that it only needed 200,000 taels.

Who would be afraid to bite their hands with more silver?

The fruit was brought in, a coconut with a hole in it, a plate of oranges, Zhu Gaoxian peeled an orange, ate a petal, took a sip of coconut water, and never touched these foods again.

Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben were terrified on the sidelines, how did they know that His Royal Highness was so picky about eating, to be honest, they had lived in Zhancheng for so long, although the wine here was unpalatable, but this stinky fish still had a different flavor to eat.

"I remember that there are winter melons, cucumbers, gourds, shepherd's cabbage and green onions and ginger and the like, you go back and find a few people who know agriculture to see, if it is different from my Daming, bring back the seeds to plant one, in terms of eating, our Daming's current ingredients are still too monotonous."

Eating is the most effective way to stimulate currency circulation and economic development.

Because few people can resist the appetite.

Even in the most difficult times of the economy, you can see many people spending a lot of money just to eat.

People eat at least two or three meals a day, which accumulates over time, which is a large expense.

"I remember they had a kind of red rice with elongated grains here, but the yield was very small." Zhu Gaoxian asked Zhanba Dilai, "Most of your people here are mainly fishing, and in terms of farming, do you want my people from the Ming Dynasty to help?" ”

Zhanba's Lai didn't understand what Zhu Gaoxian said, should he say yes? Or do you want to?

Zhang Ben knew that His Royal Highness still took a fancy to the kind of red rice they had here, so he said, "Your Highness, the ministers thought that they could sell their land, and the ministers would help cultivate it." This time, in terms of promoting rubber, the minister did not use the cultivated land, and chose mostly some mountainous mounds, which could not be planted with rice and vegetables. ”

Zhu Gaoxian saw that Zhang Ben and the others didn't understand what he meant, so he simply said, "I plan to set up an agricultural discipline in the Daming Academy of Sciences, the climate here in Zhancheng is warm, and at least three crops of rice can be harvested a year, and these fields may be wasted for them." You contact Xia Yuanji and Song Li, and ask them to send people to come and select rice from various places in Champang, Annam, and Qiongzhou, and look for some wild rice varieties to cultivate hybrid rice. ”

Zhang Ben asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, what's so good about this hybrid rice?" ”

"Our current rice is called conventional rice. Hybrid rice is a new discipline. He looked at the people who were listening to the ears of Zhanpa, and said, "This is too profound, I'll tell you more about it later." I don't know the specifics, but I've only heard that some hybrid rice yields up to 10 times that of conventional rice. ”

This must be a divine object only in the fairyland, and the people of Zhan Ba Lai and other Zhancheng people are sure that the Fourth Highness must have been to the fairy realm of the gods, and the rice yield there is ten times that of conventional rice, which is really shocking.

"Yes!"

Although Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben are military generals and civil ministers, they are not ignorant of the fireworks in the world, and they are shocked to hear that hybrid rice can be ten times that of conventional rice.

For this number, they were shocked and shocked, but they did not doubt that all the changes they saw in Da Ming were brought about by His Royal Highness the Fourth, and what he said never fell short.

Zhu Gaoxian's gaze swept over the kings and ministers of Zhancheng at this time, and fell on the body of Zhanpa's Lai, and said, "King of Zhancheng, since this king has come to Zhancheng today, Meng'er and others have been hospitalized, and this king is very relieved. “

Zhanpa's Lai was moved to tears, and prostrate on the ground, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, it is our honor that your feet can set foot on the land of my city, you have brought the light of the Buddha, let me see the appearance of the divine realm, and it is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Chamba Lai Nai is a slang person who believes in Buddha Buddhism.

Zhu Gaoxian didn't understand too much what Zhanba's Lai said? What kind of divine realm or something, I think that people who believe in Buddhism praise others like this, but they don't go to their hearts.

He asked, "What do you want?" ”

"The ministers ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to bring the light of the divine realm to us, and give me a little bit of merit!"

The more Zhu Gaoxian listened, the more he understood, that is, he wanted to develop, so he said, "My Ming can have today, it is the work of education." If you want to be like me, then you have to be enlightened. ”

If you want to become a Buddha, you naturally have to recite Buddhist scriptures every day and devote yourself to practice, which may be the teachings of the Four Highnesses.

"The ministers pray that the Fourth Highness will send an angel to enlighten us."

Zhu Gaoxian said, "In this way, then it will be included in my Ming education system, if you are willing, you can discuss with Zhang Ben to see how to implement it!" ”

"Yes, the ministers thank His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for his grace!"

Zhu Gaoxian saw that the maggots on the wall of the cup were swimming and bathing in the wine, and began to crawl desperately to the outside of the cup, he was worried about when he accidentally climbed on himself, so he hurriedly stood up and couldn't help patting the hem of his robe with his hand.

Zhanba's Lai felt that a god like His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince felt that Hongchen had contaminated his robe, so he hurriedly moved his buttocks, made a way for Zhu Gaoxian, and sent him away.

Coming out of the palace, Zhang Fu invited Zhu Gaoxian to stay in the Ming Embassy.

The Ming embassy is in this city, occupies the position in the east, according to the customs of the Ming people, built into the structure of the courtyard, a total of five courtyards, the front is the inverted cover room, the second is the yamen, the third is the main courtyard.

Zhu Gaoxian's entourage and dogs have all arrived, and all of Zhu Gaoxian's tools have been taken care of, and hot water is boiled and waiting.

"Quick, prepare a bath soup for me, I want to bathe!" Zhu Gaoxian stood in the middle of the room, scratching his body uneasily, he always felt that the maggots might not know when, they all crawled on him.

While instructing the little eunuchs to serve Zhu Gaoxian in the bath, the dog came over to help him untie his robe and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on?" Is there something unclean? ”

Zhu Gaoxian was very uncomfortable, and instructed Jingqing and the others, "In the future, no matter which country you go to, you go down first to have a look, and then ask this king to go down, and even if this king goes down, he must live in the house of the Ming people, and never eat at the same table with the wild people of any country." ”

"Yes!"

Jing Qing and the others rarely saw Zhu Gaoxian angry, and at this time, they stood in the room one by one, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

When the dog served Zhu Gaoxian into the inner room, a few people breathed a sigh of relief, and Jing Qing couldn't help but complain, "Your Highness is such a noble person, you actually make such an arrangement." ”

Zhang Fu is a military general, where is there so much attention?

Zhang Ben had been busy with Zhang Xu's affairs before, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and he didn't think about it for a while, which made Zhu Gaoxian suffer such grievances.

At this time, the little eunuchs came in, set up a table in the house, and when they saw that it was time to set up a meal, Jing Qing couldn't help but ask, "Who cooked the meal?" ”

The little eunuch said, "Your Highness has brought a cook with you, and the rice and vegetables used are local, and the pots and pans are brought from the ship.

Jing Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief, in case, if they brought something like that to the table again, they would be sad tonight, although His Royal Highness is a reasonable person, but the more such a person, the more they admire him from the heart, they naturally want to respect him well.

Zhu Gaoxian washed it from head to toe, changed into a robe, simply tied a silk silk around his waist, and tied his hair with a green bamboo hairpin on his head.

When he came out, he saw the table in the room, and the dog said on the side, "Knowing that His Highness will not eat outside, the slave maid let his own people tidy up a table, which is all familiar to His Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "It's better for you to think thoughtfully, put it on it!" ”

He looked at the ministers waiting next to him and said, "You also come up and accompany me to use a little, and you haven't touched a bite in that palace just now." ”

Now who dares to say that sumptuous feast in the palace?

Several people were grateful and disrespectful, and after thanking them, they gathered around the table in order, because Zhu Gaoxian didn't drink, so no eunuch came up to pour wine for them.

After eating quietly, the table was removed, Zhu Gaoxian moved to the second room, sat on the couch by the window, and Zhang Fu and the others sat on the chairs on the ground.

After serving the tea, several people drank a few sips, and Zhu Gaoxian took a long breath, only to feel that the disgusting feeling was finally gone.

"Let's talk about a few things!" Zhu Gaoxian looked at Zhang Ben, "Let's talk about the rubber tree planting first, how is the progress now?" ”

Zhang Bendao, "A hundred hectares of mountainous land have been opened, and after the manure, all the seeds have been planted. In accordance with His Royal Highness's order, please teach us Lord Huang Fuhuang, Lord Huang always has to come over every two months, what was planted last year is already very high, and what is planted this year has been sprouting in the past few days. ”

"What is the reaction of the locals of Champa and Annam to planting rubber trees?"

"The minister told them that these rubber trees were to be used by my Ming Dynasty, and that they could be exchanged for grain in the future, and these trees occupied their mountainous land, some fields that were not very fertile, and those fields were all arranged by the minister in exchange for grain and money, and no one objected for the time being."

"Well, in any place, we have to give each other some benefits, and we can't take all the benefits, so it won't last long." Zhu Gaoxian recognized Zhang Ben very much, "The water flows for a long time, you must know that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake." Slowly let them develop a way of thinking, make them feel that this is reasonable, and gradually change their habits to ensure that our requirements are met. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Fu asked, "Your Highness, is there really that kind of hybrid rice?" ”

If Daming's grain output can reach thousands of catties per mu, will there be a famine in Daming? This is also one thing that Zhang Fu and others are very concerned about.

"There have been people who have achieved it, but I don't know the specific process, so I want to look for such people and specialize in this kind of research work." Zhu Gaoxian said, "Hybrid rice is to select two rice varieties that have certain genetic differences, and their excellent traits can complement each other for crossing, which is a bit like what? ”

Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a moment and said, "Why did the previous family only want to marry the family, from ancient times to the present, why did the ancestors say that marriage is the right family?" There are always a lot of similarities between children and parents, and this is heredity. Fruits can only be eaten after grafting, and the same is true for rice. Someone has to do it. ”

Zhang Ben only felt that there seemed to be a clear direction in front of him, and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the minister wants to try this research." ”

"No problem. If you're interested, you can do it yourself. Zhu Gaoxian recalled that in his previous life, Mr. Yuan studied hybrid rice, and the media reported on him, which had some details, and said, "Hybrid rice needs to be produced every year, and the principle of it, one thing I know is the 'three lines' method, and I only remember one thing about the 'three lines' is that the male sterility line, the male sterility maintenance line, and the male sterility recovery line." “

Zhang Ben remembered carefully, and was about to ask, Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "Don't ask me specifically, I don't know at all." The only thing I know is to find some wild rice from the wild to breed. Also, if you want to study rice, let the Ming Imperial Academy help you develop a microscope, which is the kind that can magnify very small things. “

Zhang Ben, a literati, was very interested in Zhu Gaoxian, and he couldn't help but think that if he could really study it, he would inevitably open a separate one for himself in the future history books to describe today's deeds and contributions.

"The minister is very interested in these, Your Highness, the minister intends to take the time to study some knowledge in this area. If he can be rewarded by the emperor in the future and occupy a place in the Academy of Sciences, the minister will be satisfied in this life. ”

Zhu Gaoxian laughed, "This is a good thing, on the road of scientific research, although it is lonely, maybe you may not be able to find the truth after a thousand experiments, but you must believe in one point, the truth will always be in front of your eyes, and when the time is ripe, you will definitely be able to see it." ”

"Yes, the minister must remember His Highness's words and encourage himself from time to time."

After talking about the rice, Zhang Ben asked Zhu Gaoxian to show him and asked, "Your Highness, what instructions does Your Highness have regarding the education of Annan and Champa?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "The culture of my Central Plains has a long history, broad and profound, if you want them to follow us forever, you must let them learn our culture and keep pace with our thoughts." Every nation has an elite, and you who are governors must remember that you must not only send useful goods and goods to my Ming Dynasty, but also talents. However, our core technology must be firmly held in our own hands. In the future, the Daming Academy of Sciences will be divided into several sections, including physics, mathematics, chemistry, high energy, mechanics, acoustics, ......"

This is to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of the once beautiful country, and to prevent the well-trained talent from returning to serve his own country in the end.

This kind of thing must be avoided.

Fortunately, the development of a country's industry is to start from all aspects, and before the development of Daming's industry, Daming Imperial College only recruited students from Daming.

"Therefore, before that, we must first use the knowledge of our ancestors to educate them, and only by unifying their thoughts with us and recognizing the Ming Dynasty can they be qualified to enter our Ming Imperial Academy to study."
