The spring equinox is approaching, and His Majesty the Emperor should have personally cultivated the fields in the near future to show his emphasis on farming, but a courtier mentioned it in a letter, but Zhu Yuanzhang quietly pressed it.

It's complicated, and I don't have that effort.

You must know that cultivating the land is not just as simple as the emperor holding a plow and stringing a few ridges of fields, but a set of complex rituals, which also requires the participation of hundreds of officials, and the preparation is carried out one or two days in advance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Lao Zhu also understood the importance of this etiquette, but pragmatism still prevailed over formalism.

We'll talk about it next year.

Moreover, Lao Zhu is not 'pro-farming', the imperial garden in the palace, he has decided to open up a vegetable garden, and intends to take the princes to grow vegetables themselves, so that the children can feel the hard work of farming.

Today is February 20th.

After the early dynasty, Lao Zhu came to the east of the city.

Lao Zhu was inspired by Zhu Yuan to list "Qi Min's Essentials" as a compulsory course for 100 official students, and also asked for each Guozi supervisor to allocate an acre of land to cultivate it himself to be familiar with agricultural affairs.

Even because Zhu Yuan's identity was revealed, many things have changed, but all the previous arrangements, such as the promotion of "Qi Min's Technique", such as the recompilation of mathematical classics, and Zhu Yuan's original book list, have all been continuously promoted.

Lao Zhu does not have the habit of giving up halfway.

Today is the day of the first ploughing of the country's supervisors.

At present, more than eighty percent of the country's superintendents are the sons and daughters of hundreds of officials and nobles, because of Zhu Yuan, because of the "Book of Heaven", Lao Zhu occasionally thinks about it, and feels that this group of people is very important to the Zhu family, and they can no longer be like they used to be, but they have not completely sorted out their thoughts for the time being.

The important is for sure.

Therefore, I specially came to the scene today to watch a group of teenagers farming under the guidance of the elders who were carefully selected by Guozixue.

During this period, he was once again inspired by the twenty-third grandson of his own baby, and explained to Xu Chunren on the spot that the son of the country learned to sacrifice wine, and asked all living beings to carefully write a log after each cultivation to summarize the understanding and feelings of the farming process. After Guozixue reviewed, he needed to select one of the chapters and send them to him for viewing.

In this way, he stayed in the field of Guozi Xueguan for half an hour, and finally attracted some young people to talk about his face seriously, and Lao Zhu, who was in a light car, returned to the palace.

Returning to the Fengtianmen Zuodong Pavilion of the daily council, the first thing to focus on was the war between the north and the south.

Southern Route.

Liao Yongzhong, who replaced Tang He as the general of Zhengnan, had already led his troops out of Fuzhou and rushed to Guangdong, and as usual, he once again sent a message to Zuo Cheng He Zhen of the Yuanjiang Jiangxi sub-province, hoping that He Allah would surrender and avoid the scourge of the sword soldiers.

Northern Route.

Chang Yuchun, the deputy general of the conquest, conquered the city of Dongchang in one fell swoop on 12 February, and recently completed the liquidation of the outer prefectures and counties of Dongchang.

Shandong Zhulu, at the moment, only Le'an, who surrendered and rebelled, was still resisting.

Tongzhi Kang Maocai, the governor of the Dadu Governor's Office, who was in charge of logistics and supplies, had been ordered to rush to Jinan, planning to push the supply line to the banks of the Yellow River in preparation for the westward advance.

Among the many battle reports, there is also one that has attracted Lao Zhu's special attention.

Xu Da, the general of the conquest, personally issued a proclamation, requiring Jining and Xuzhou along the Jishui coast to raise 10,000 stone and 20,000 stone of grain respectively, and transport them north along the canal to Dongchang to fund the army.

Ordinary people may not be able to see anything, it's just 30,000 stone of grain, but Lao Zhu understands.

I'm still short of food.

Because of the lack of food, they had to collect food and wages from the local people who had just experienced the war.

It's a spring famine again......

Lao Zhu can imagine that after this war, Shandong will not be able to recover for many years.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu once again thought of his baby twenty-third grandson.

The canal can only barely support the current army, and then take Henan, or open up a northward grain channel from Huguang, but that grain route mainly relies on land routes, and the efficiency is even lower than that of the canal.

Therefore, if we want to accomplish the goal of supplying the armies to the west and north of Bianliang on a large scale, the sea grain route, even if it cannot be opened this year, must continue next year.

After all, the maximum annual sea grain salary of the Yuan court could reach 3 million stones.

Even if the loss is larger, as long as it is controlled within a certain range, Lao Zhu is not unacceptable.

Even...... In the long run, in the northeast, Lao Zhu has already secretly made up his mind that before he closes his eyes in this life, he must clean up a clear understanding for his children and grandchildren, and if he wants to do this, refer to the globe, the sea route, which is the most convenient passage to the northeast.

Thinking about it, Lao Zhu hoped that his precious twenty-third grandson would be able to successfully complete the opening of the sea grain route.

Well......

The premise is to take care of yourself.

Because in Lao Zhu's heart, the weight of a Zhu Yuan is almost worth the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are as dead as they once did, they will be selected again. Lao Zhu didn't think that if he lost Zhu Yuan, God would give him another twenty-third grandson, who was still so knowledgeable and well-practiced.

Alas.

It's just that the body is too poor, which makes people worry about it all day long.

Don't even talk about picking a stronger one.

Because of this, since Zhu Yuan went to Mingzhou, Lao Zhu has been entangled in various ambivalences these days, suffering from gains and losses. Occasionally, I hope that things can be done in Mingzhou, and occasionally I feel that it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, then the child is the most important. Once in a while, I wonder if I could have the best of both worlds. Occasionally denying yourself, that can be a lot of good things.

Thinking of Zhu Yuan, soon a guard reported that a few days ago, he sent to Mingzhou as a messenger between his baby twenty-third grandson and himself.

This is no coincidence.

Lao Zhu privately thought of Zhu Yuan's number of times, which was really a bit much.

The dusty Gong Wei Si Baihu Wenzao entered the East Pavilion with two large bags of things, and after a salute, he saw that the lord couldn't wait to get up, and hurriedly put the two packages on the bookcase in front of Lao Zhu, and said: "Lord, great joy." Hanlin had succeeded in making a microscope and sent it to the Lord day and night. ”

This is a very doorway to speak.

Wen Zao just wanted His Majesty the Emperor to know his hard work of 'day and night', and he didn't dare to hope for other credits.

Lao Zhu Gang used a paper cutter to cut open the package that was obviously a letter, and when he heard what he said, he immediately changed his attention: "There, quickly bring it to me?" ”

Zhu Yuan had previously discussed with Lao Zhu the common sense related to the microcosm of new medicine, but Lao Zhu had always found it difficult to believe. He also remembered the microscope, but even if Zhu Yuan had demonstrated the principle to him with water droplets, Lao Zhu still felt that it would take years to create such a magical thing, to say the least.

I didn't think about it, how long has it been?

Wen Zao carefully opened another package, took out the microscope from a mahogany box, and carefully recalled, first asked Lao Zhu to open the doors and windows of the East Pavilion to brighten the light, and then according to Zhu Yuan's explanation, he operated carefully and meticulously as if he were treating the most precious treasure in the world.

A moment later, Wen Zao saw the paramecium with the soles of his shoes in the lens again.

Giving up his position to Lao Zhu, Wen Zao bowed to his side, and subconsciously lowered his voice and explained carefully: "Lord, this is paramecium, according to Hanlin, this is a single-celled organism that is ubiquitous on the shores of rivers and lakes. I can still be active when I come the day before yesterday, and these two days ...... It's a pity that he died. ”

Lao Zhu listened to Wen Zao's explanation, and brought his eyes to the microscope, and in the light blue bright color, some slender oval objects that resembled rice grains were quietly presented in his field of vision.

After observing for a while, Lao Zhu's subsequent reaction was the same as Hua Gao the day before, reaching out to remove the crystal flake and holding it up in front of his eyes to try to look at it with the naked eye.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything but that touch of blue.

Put the crystal slice back again, Lao Zhu went to watch it again, and found that there was nothing in his field of vision.

Hearing this, he stepped forward to help Lao Zhu re-debug, and after getting out of the way, Lao Zhu lowered his head again, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but look sideways at the crystal flakes under the objective.

There was no going back and forth.

Lao Zhu has affirmed that Zhu Yuan's previous statements are true.

Turning to Wen Zao, Lao Zhu asked, "Is this ...... Amplified geometry? ”

Wen Zao said: "Hanlin said that this paramecium is very ...... Well, representative, because he happened to remember that the body length of an adult paramecium was about one hundredth of an inch, and this microscope, the size of a paramecium in the field of view, gave people the impression that it was more than two inches long, that is, about two hundred times. According to Hanlin, in the future, with reference to paramecium, the magnification of a microscope can be roughly judged. ”

Speaking unintentionally, the listener is intentional.

Wen Zao said that Zhu Yuan 'happened to remember', he may not have thought much about it, but Lao Zhu understood that it should be the insight of his baby's twenty-third grandson in his previous life.

For Zhu Yuan to come from more than 600 years later, even if he has shown too many peculiarities, Lao Zhu still inevitably retains some doubts. The current microscope, combined with some of Zhu Yuan's previous statements, is undoubtedly a solid example of him coming from 600 years later.

After all, for thousands of years, someone there made a microscope, and there were people there who knew what microorganisms?

Can only come from 'later'.

Wen Zao waited for Lao Zhu to ponder for a moment, and said again: "Lord, there are also leek and pine needle cells on the thin slices, can the Lord watch it?" ”

Lao Zhu nodded.

Wen Zao continued while replacing the crystal flakes: "If the Lord wants to see the living paramecium, or there are in the moat outside, the subordinates can try to make the flakes on the spot, but the subordinates are reckless and do not dare to guarantee that they can be done." ”

Lao Zhu waited for Wen Zao to give up his position again, waved his hand and said, "You let it go." ”

As he spoke, he called two attendants and asked them to assist Wen Zao, and Lao Zhu turned to the microscope again.

This time, although it is much smaller than the paramecium, Lao Zhu still recognized at a glance that the neatly arranged should be the so-called cells, and then remembered Zhu Yuan's words last year, the human body is composed of hundreds of millions of cells that are invisible to the naked eye.

The same is probably true for other living creatures.

In addition, there is a nucleus in the cell, chromosomes in the nucleus, and hundreds of millions of genes are engraved on the chromosomes.

At this moment, compared to the paramecium that was a little scattered inside the body just now, Lao Zhu could see relatively clearly that there was a small dot in the center of many leek yellow cells, which should be the nucleus.

Intranuclear ......

Remembering that Wen Zao said that this microscope can only magnify two or three hundred times, obviously, it must not be able to see the chromosomes clearly.

However, even if you can't see it, those claims won't be false.

This world is so big!

Wen Zao took samples from the water of the moat that flowed through the imperial city and made new flakes, and Lao Zhu finally saw living microorganisms, not only paramecium, but also many other small things that could not be named.

Seeing the end, Lao Zhu remembered something and ordered an attendant to quickly call Queen Ma to come over.

Ma came to the East Pavilion.

Ma has also been refreshed.

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

The couple dined in the dining room of the East Pavilion, but they were very uncomfortable eating a meal. After all, thinking about the fact that they are surrounded by all kinds of small things, maybe millions of them in one bite, most people will inevitably have mental obstacles.

Both husband and wife consciously used the silverware, and there was no doubt about it.

The few cold dishes on the table didn't move, only the things that had been fried and fried, because Zhu Yuan's 'Precautions for Daily Living and Diet' had been explained.

High temperature sterilizes!

After an embarrassing lunch, waiting for the waiter to take away the tableware, Lao Zhu saw his wife's appearance, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Lady, now you should believe Yuan'er's 'precautions'?" ”

Ma nodded slightly, suddenly remembered again, and said to her husband: "Xianggong, this microscope should not be known to children for the time being." ”

The husband and wife were so tormented that they almost couldn't eat, and it was hard to imagine what would happen if the children saw it.

Lao Zhu nodded: "I thought about it, so I only called you over." ”

Ma glanced at her husband: "You are guilty and don't forget to pull the concubine." The concubine thought of the living creature in the mirror at the moment, and she still had palpitations. ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "Then don't look at it again." ”

The two of them stood up as they spoke.

Ma Shi knew that her husband was always busy with things, so she didn't stay too long, and said that she was going to the main hall to see the children who were studying.

Look at the fourth.
