Chapter 137: Grain Seeds

The two chatted in the imperial study until late at night, and finally a little eunuch from the East Palace found this place, and then walked out of the imperial study.

It turned out that the prince woke up, and Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed to the East Palace when he heard the news, but he didn't see Zhu Yunwen, so he immediately asked people to look around.

This startled Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Gui told him not to worry, he would intercede for him.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he forgot that his imperial uncle's image in the eyes of his imperial grandfather was even worse.

The two soon returned to the East Palace.

As soon as they entered the hall, the two of them clearly felt the change in the atmosphere.

The eunuchs and palace maids and imperial doctors who were in a hurry in the past all knelt on both sides of the hall with panicked faces at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice could still be heard from time to time in the depths of the hall.

"It's been so long, haven't you found both of them yet? What are you doing to eat, push it out and cut it? ”

"Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui, I really shouldn't let the emperor and grandson follow you, you have the ability, and you can take the emperor and grandson to ruin in one day."

Zhu Gui felt his scalp tingle when he heard this voice, he didn't expect things to develop to this point.

Zhu Yunwen on the side was even more frightened.

However, he still stopped the eunuch who was dragged out by the imperial guards to be beheaded.

"I'll plead with Grandpa Huang, can you wait a minute?"

The two imperial guards looked at each other, then nodded, and although they didn't speak, they stopped where they were.

The little eunuch, who was already frightened and bloodless, immediately began to plead with Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen turned around and glanced at Zhu Gui, and then showed a resolute look on his face.

At this moment, Zhu Gui seemed to see Zhu Biao's shadow in him.

The same generosity of lovers.

Zhu Gui sighed lightly and walked into the bedroom of the crown prince Zhu Biao with Zhu Yunwen.

As soon as I entered, I heard Zhu Biao's faint voice: "Father, don't be angry, Zhu Gui is already very different from before, he won't harm Yun Wei, I believe they must have something important to do before leaving." ”

"Is there anything more important than your illness? Yun Wei used to be so filial, he was taken by Zhu Gui's kid, and when he found him, he saw that I didn't pick his skin. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

At this moment, the imperial guard guarding the door opened the door, and then whispered: "The emperor, the crown prince, the imperial grandson and the acting king, they are back." ”

While talking, Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunwen walked in together.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately walked over, he grabbed Zhu Yunwen's arm, then pulled him behind him, and then glared at Zhu Gui angrily and said, "Zhu Gui, where did you take the emperor and grandson?" Truthfully recruited. ”

The corners of Zhu Gui's mouth twitched, and he cried bitterly in his heart.

How could he not know that at such a time, no matter what he said, it would only make Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he was just making a fuss about nothing.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Yunwen spoke.

He knelt down directly and said: "Grandpa Huang, Uncle Huang took me to the imperial study and explained a lot of truths to me, what I learned in the middle of a day today is better than all the books I read in the past." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen with a surprised face and said: "Yunwen, I know that you are as generous as your father, but you don't want anyone to cover up, although this Zhu Gui is your imperial uncle, he is stubborn by nature, and I don't know how many immoral things he has done." ”

Zhu Yunwen directly grabbed the ground with his head and said: "I don't know what happened to Uncle Huang before, but today's things are really not the fault of Uncle Huang, if Grandpa Huang wants to punish me, punish me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, then sat down and said, "How can I be willing to punish you?" But what did you learn today? If it makes sense, I can not punish him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Gui, but his tone of voice to Zhu Yunwen was extremely soft, which made Zhu Gui not close to a little surprised.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and said: "Uncle Huang taught me the way to govern the country and level the world today, that is, let everyone have food to eat, everyone can have books to read, everyone can be a talent, and the Ming Dynasty can be unprecedentedly prosperous for thousands of generations." ”

"Everybody has something to eat? Everybody has a book to read? Hmph, it's light, how many virtuous monarchs have pursued this thing throughout the ages, but who has really done it? It's just talk. Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't buy this statement.

"Grandpa Huang, this is not empty talk, Uncle Huang has mastered the method to do this, this is the grain seed that Uncle Huang showed me, he has tried to plant it in the clouds, if it can be promoted in the Ming Dynasty, it can completely resist natural disasters, and everyone has food."

Zhu Yunwen took out some seeds that Zhu Gui had given him before from his arms.

This was originally Zhu Gui asked him to test it in the Imperial Garden, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the small bag of grain, then picked up one and looked at it.

He was born as a farmer and was very familiar with many agricultural practices, but the seeds in his hand at this time made him feel very surprised.

It was the first time he had seen corn seeds.

"What is this?"

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Gui about it.

Zhu Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, this thing is a seed called corn, it has good resistance to floods, and the yield is very high, the same acre of land, he can feed a family of five."

Zhu Gui introduced.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he was also interested in other seeds.

So Zhu Gui introduced Zhu Yuanzhang one by one.

In the end, he explained: "These are all obtained by the sons of the ministers in Yunzhou through the methods of ancient books, in order to solve problems for their father. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bag of seeds in his hand and fell into deep thought, he naturally wouldn't believe him just because of Zhu Gui's words.

But at this time, Zhu Biao sat up with Zhu Yunwen's support and said: "Father, what the thirteenth emperor brother said should be true, among the states affected this year, only Yunzhou did not receive relief from the imperial court. ”

"Is there such a thing? Is it all because of these grains? Zhu Yuanzhang heard the prince say this, and he reluctantly believed it.

Zhu Gui immediately nodded and said: "Yes, because the trade conditions in Yunzhou are relatively good, although there is a certain shortage of food, the price level is still maintained, and the people's lives have not been greatly affected. ”

Zhu Gui's words contained a little bit of personal work, that is, it shows that in this natural disaster, businessmen also have a certain role.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not hear his careful thoughts, but he looked at the grains in his eyes and did not debunk him.

After all, if it is really as Zhu Gui said, then these grain seeds represent the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty.
