Zhan Hui and Qin Kui could see at a glance that Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to take the blame.

But the problem is that the pot is too heavy, and they say they can't carry it.

"When the time comes, I will definitely be scolded half to death by the Manchu Dynasty!"

Thinking of this, Qin Kui gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, this move must not be, if it is just because of a dream of the little third master, it is too child's fun to make changes to the major decisions of the imperial court."

At this point, Qin Kui didn't care if he would offend Zhu Yunxi or not, and then said:

"If you can't find it then, you will be laughed at by the world."

"Uh, this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his forehead and felt that what Qin Kui said was not wrong at all.

It doesn't matter if you make a special case to relax the sea ban, after all, the policy of the imperial court can be adjusted, but if you can't find these two things, you will become a faint monarch in the eyes of the courtiers.

Zhu Yunxi is only sixteen years old, and he can be forgiven for fooling around.

But if you follow the nonsense, it will be a bit unreasonable.

Thinking of this, he shouted at Zhu Yunxi: "Boy, have you heard, don't you yin your imperial grandfather!" ”

Zhu Yunxi grinned, pointed to the piece of paper in Zhan Hui's hand and said:

"Potatoes are extremely easy to grow, they can be grown when they are buried in the soil, and when they are ripe, they can be used as staple foods, steamed, fried, boiled, and can also be made into cakes, which became the dry food of my daimyo soldiers on the march."

Then he pointed to the piece of paper in Qin Kui's hand and said:

"It's called corn, and it's also extremely easy to grow, and it's a grain on the surface, and it's sweet and glutinous, and it can be used as a staple food and can also be used to make wine."

Qin Kui and Zhan Hui looked at the two pieces of paper in their hands and asked with a wry smile:

"Little Third Master, are these all what the immortals told you in their dreams?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "That's right, he also let me taste these two things in my dream." ”

Looking at Zhu Yunxi's serious appearance, Zhan Hui and Qin Kui almost burst out laughing, so they looked at Zhu Yuanzhang together, and their eyes seemed to say:

"Your Majesty, can you even believe such words?"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the meaning in the eyes of the two, thought about it for a while, and then said:

"You think Yun Xi is talking about it, but I don't think so, you must know that hybrid rice, before the change, do you dare to believe that he can breed a variety that doubles the yield?"

Zhan Hui and Qin Kui shook their heads.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not wrong at all.

For thousands of years, no one has been able to do this, but Zhu Yunxi has done it.

Sometimes Zhan Hui is also thinking about this question, that is, why is this teenager able to do it?

He, like Zhu Yuanzhang, was a little puzzled.

"Maybe this is the providence in the dark."

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "So this time, I really want to know if this child Yunxi is a lucky star given to me by God." ”

Hearing this, Zhan Hui and Qin Kui couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts.

"It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind, if King Wu succeeds, it is estimated that the position of the emperor's grandson must be his."

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunxi again.

saw Zhu Yunxi smiling at Zhan Hui: "Don't look at me, and you don't need to give money, what are you distressed about." ”

Then he said to Qin Kui: "Lord Qin, just help me find some skilled craftsmen who can build ships when the time comes." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again and said:

"Grandpa Huang, you seem to have called one less person over."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned: "Who?" ”

"It's from the military department."

"Our fleet must be equipped with powerful firearms and train a large number of sailors, because there are often pirates in the sea, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no conflict with the countries along the way," Zhu said.

I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, Yun Xi wants to spread the name of the Ming Dynasty all over the world, so that everyone in the world knows that the imperial grandfather is the greatest emperor. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and Zhu Yunteng's words made him feel very excited.

Yes, if all countries can bow down to the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be a great achievement that will go down in history.

And he, Zhu Yuanzhang, will also become the greatest emperor in history in Zhu Yunxi's mouth.

He walked up and down in the imperial study, and kept shouting:

"Yes, yes, we have to prepare firearms such as cannons, and we have to train sailors suitable for oceans."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat gaffe and excited appearance, Zhan Hui and Qin Kui glanced at each other again, and sighed helplessly in their hearts: "If this is the case, then this battle will be a big one!" ”

But the two of them have no choice at the moment, after saying so much, Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is already very clear.

That is to let Zhu Yunxi try, and this matter has to be carried out by the two of them.

.

Three days later in the morning pilgrimage.

Zhan Hui, the head of the household department, praised Zhu Yunxi for a while by reporting the matter of hybrid rice to Zhu Yuanzhang, and hoped that His Majesty the Emperor could let Zhu Yunxi serve as the head of the household department and be in charge of agriculture.

In this way, we can give full play to our strengths in this area and benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The matter of hybrid rice is no secret nowadays, and everyone knows that Zhu Yunxi invented a new hybrid rice, which is said to have a large yield.

So for Zhan Hui's proposal, everyone is deeply convinced.

Although Zhu Yunxi has invented a lot of strange things, it is obvious that this rice is the most recognized by everyone.

Just when everyone expressed their approval, Qin Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up and said:

"A few days ago, His Royal Highness King Wu came to our Ministry of Industry to inquire about shipbuilding, and once said that he dreamed of immortals for several days, and told him that there is something called corn and potatoes in the distant overseas, which can replace wheat and rice, and if these two things are found, the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not have a famine again.

Therefore, Weichen suggested that King Wu should take responsibility for this matter, instead of going to the household department to be in charge of agriculture. ”

"There is such a thing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed in surprise: "Then why are you still stunned, immediately ordered him to build a ship and go to sea to find it." ”

When Qin Kui heard this, he immediately said with a sad face:

"The shipbuilding ministry has a lot to do, but there's no money."

Saying this, he looked at Zhan Hui, the head of the household.

Zhan Hui immediately jumped up as if he had been bitten by a snake and shouted: "Don't look at me, now the treasury is not rich, and you need a big ship to go to sea, and there is more than one, to build such a huge fleet, there are no more than one million silver taels, don't even think about it!" ”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly patted his forehead with a headache, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"This matter is beneficial to the country and the people, I think you adults will not sit idly by, since this is the case, then everyone will raise donations, how much can be made."

As soon as they heard this, the courtiers' faces turned green, and they couldn't wait to rush up and give Qin Kui two slaps.

But seeing Qin Kui, he said unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty, it was Lord Zhan who misunderstood, I didn't ask his household department to pay."

As soon as they heard this, everyone was a little stunned, and said in their hearts, "Could it be that you have already discussed with Your Majesty and asked everyone to donate silver?"

But I heard Qin Kui laugh and said: "At that time, I also told King Wu that the household department couldn't take out so much silver, but King Wu said that he had found someone who paid for the shipbuilding, but the other party's condition was to do some maritime trade by the way when sailing." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly sank, and he patted the dragon case and shouted:

"How can this be? Daming Sea has been banned for a long time, how can it set a precedent for this? ”

He shook his head at everyone again and again, and scolded in his mouth: "The merchant is really mercenary, according to me, it is better for all the courtiers to collect donations." ”

As soon as they heard this, the hearts of the courtiers that had just been put down were lifted again, and they saw Liu Sanwu stand up tremblingly and say:

"Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen thinks that if someone is willing to pay for the construction of ships for the imperial court, it is okay to do some trade by the way.

The so-called peach reciprocation, people contributed more than one million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty, as a reward, the court should do the same, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the people of the world, who else is willing to share worries and solve problems for the court in the future? ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers expressed their approval, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell into a dilemma.

He looked at everyone and thought for a long time, but he still shook his head slightly and said:

"I still don't think it's appropriate."
