Chapter 345: In terms of cunning and hypocrisy, he is far superior to my father
Few people know about Zhu Gaosui being secretly transported to Suntian, after all, this person is special, and things are also special.
But the sudden news shocked everyone.
Emperor Xuande passed the edict, King Zhao rebelled, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, his title should have been abolished, abolished as a concubine, and assigned to the frontier, but Nian made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and King Wu interceded, and retained his clan identity.
However, the crime of rebellion was unforgivable, and King Wu advised him to go with the ocean-going treasure fleet to the place where Qian Yong and others found new grain varieties that year, and to explore and obtain more new grain for the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty agreed.
The official language in the edict can be ignored, and it can be summed up that King Zhao conspired against him, and he should have abolished his lordship, seized his body, and sent him to the frontier, but King Wu admonished him and suggested that he should be guilty of meritorious service and retrieve more grain seeds for the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Xuande agreed.
As for how many words in this edict are credible and how many are not, no one investigates this issue, and people are still talking more about Zhu Gaosui's ending.
Although it is said that he retains his clan identity, he is actually exiled, and he is also exiled overseas, which can be said to be the first person in history.
But does anyone really care?
Yes, there must be, but these people are people who have already mastered some things and want to go further, and there is another point, that is, they are dissatisfied with Zhu Zhanyan.
But for the vast majority of people, they don't care about this, just because of a sentence in the edict.
New grain seeds.
Turning back more than a decade ago, no one would have imagined that one day the grain yield per mu would reach 400, or even more.
At that time, even if you went out and said it, no one would believe it, and everyone would think that you were going crazy and dreaming big, because that was something that people didn't even dare to think about.
But now, even if you tell people that there is 10,000 catties of grain per mu in this world, some people will believe it.
What is there not to believe? At that time, the yield of rice and wheat per mu in Daming was only two or three hundred catties, but the grain seeds brought back by Qian Yong and them doubled the yield, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes increased several times.
Ten thousand catties, is it a lot? Isn't it a tenfold increase compared to now? There were such miracles back then, why can't they happen now?
Of course, this is still an exaggeration, after all, the vast majority of people are sane.
It is true that there may be higher yields of food in this world, but there will be a tipping point for everything, and if you exceed this tipping point, it is still beyond the psychological capacity of most people.
However, this does not prevent people from going to reasonable fantasies.
For example, today's grain yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty has corn with a yield of more than 400 per mu, and there are also potatoes and sweet potatoes with a yield of more than 1,000 per mu.
Moreover, Zhu Zhanyan was able to let people find high-yield grains like potatoes and sweet potatoes back then, so why couldn't he find anything else?
The emergence of more productive grain varieties made it impossible for ordinary people not only to refuse, but also for officials, nobles, etc.
In this era, food represents interests in the eyes of all classes, but some people's interests are hunger, marrying wives and having children, and for some people, it is more money and greater rights.
As for who goes, how to go, and what the outcome is, who cares?
What happened to the royal family? Can't the royal family go? Moreover, he is still a royal clan member who has committed a major crime of rebellion, and it is already an extrajudicial favor to retain his clan identity.
How to get there? Isn't that an ocean-going treasure fleet? As for the dangers on the ocean road? Isn't that normal? The sea is so stormy, it is not normal if there is no danger.
As for how it ended?
After all, it is to find new grains, and there is a possibility of failure, but what does it have to do with them? and do not have to put them at risk.
When they succeed, they say good things to show that they are not ungrateful.
If it fails, it will naturally be a spray, anyway, it is a matter of opening the mouth, and there will be no loss of anything.
However, is it really that simple?
At the foot of Tianshou Mountain.
A very simple house, which used to be the residence of the Imperial Tomb Guard, but now it has become the residence of Zhu Gaosui's family.
The reason is very simple, the ocean-going treasure fleet is still resting, and it will not set off until the Suez Canal can carry the shipping of the treasure fleet, and before that, Zhu Gaosui's family needs a place to stay.
According to the edict issued, it was not suitable for Zhu Gaosui's family to stay in the edict, so Zhu Zhanyu simply fulfilled Zhu Gaosui's "wish" and asked him to come to Tianshou Mountain to guard the mountain for the old man.
"Your Royal Highness......" Looking at Zhu Gaosui with a gloomy face, Princess Zhao Weng spoke uneasily.
"Although he was exiled overseas, he was able to save his life, and now that the situation is stronger than people, His Highness should not worry about it anymore."
"What do you know as a woman?" Zhu Gaosui glanced at his princess Zhao gloomily.
"The edict is naturally to choose something nice, but according to the ruthlessness of that kid in Zhan Yan, it must not be a good place!"
"I think at the beginning, although he only sent two hundred people, and three people came back, it is not much, but it is not too much."
"Without a treasure fleet, it would be a miracle that two hundred people could come back alive by buying their own ships and going to sea, not to mention that the vast majority of those two hundred people were harassed by the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire on the way."
"Judging from this matter, it doesn't seem to be difficult, after all, two hundred people can complete it, and it makes no sense that we can't finish it if we follow the treasure fleet, but this is the most ruthless thing about that kid."
Weng Shi was stunned when he heard this, and his face was full of puzzlement.
It's clear that what her husband said is on the good side, why did he suddenly reverse it?
"So you don't understand!" Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly.
"If it's really simple, then why doesn't the kid send people anymore? How many seeds did Qian Yong and others bring back? It took years for that kid to slowly promote, so why not just ask someone to fetch more seeds back? ”
"Yes, there is a Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and it is not worth it, but what was it like back then? Who doesn't know that the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire at that time did not grovel to that kid for the sake of potatoes? ”
"Not to mention passing by on their land, even if they let them go to sleep with his daughter-in-law in the palace, it is estimated that Shaharu will not complain!"
"It can be seen that this ocean ...... At the very least, it's not a good job to get seeds! ”
"Otherwise, why didn't that kid send someone to fetch it when he was short of food, and he still had people, boats, and connections, but instead cultivated it himself?"
"Hmph, this kid ......"
"In terms of ruthlessness, he is far better than my second brother, and in terms of cunning and hypocrisy, he is far superior to my father!"
