"Just such a box? Put the eggs in and you can hatch the chicks? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the guards move to the hatching box, and his face was full of curiosity for a while.

This hatching chicks, in fact, just put the chickens in the alley.

If this wasn't for Chu Ze's presiding over the thing, Zhu Yuanzhang would have been able to do it, and someone would have used him as a monkey.

And looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of curiosity and turned east and west, Chu Ze gestured to the old farmer on the side.

"Old gentleman, you are the person in charge of this envy, you can explain the principle of this incubator to Your Majesty."

"Ahh Oooh.. Your Majesty, let me tell you about the function and principle of this incubator. In this box, we loaded some waterways and a thermometer that the dean asked us to make. ”

"This thermometer is the key to the incubator."

"We first find the hen that is hatching the eggs, and then we put multiple thermometers under the belly of the hen that is hatching the eggs, and they are incubated with the eggs for a while."

"After we have determined the temperature required for the eggs to hatch, we will adjust the temperature in the incubator according to this temperature."

"Those waterways are used to fill hot water and heat up the incubators. After putting the eggs in, we only need to adjust the temperature in the box according to the thermometer, and then reverse the eggs from time to time. ”

"When enough time is enough, most of the eggs will be able to hatch."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the old farmer's story, and he gently picked up the straw in the incubator for heat preservation.

Sure enough, around the box, I saw the water channel used to warm up.

However, after checking it, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly returned the straw to its original position.

The action seems to be cautious, as if he is afraid that a careless person will damage the magical incubator in front of him.

"This thing means a lot! Chu Ze. This old farmer must be rewarded. ”

"This box is left with us. Let's try it too, hatch a batch of chickens by yourself, hehe, you can raise a batch in this back garden. After that, we will use the chickens we raised ourselves to entertain the ministers! ”

Everyone has a curiosity about new things.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who has become the emperor, is the same.

This incubator is a product of Chu Ze's testing ground anyway, and it must not be difficult for them to make a second one.

It's not too much to keep one for yourself to play, but one for yourself to use, right?

"Your Majesty, please remember that the thermometer in this incubator only records the temperature used to hatch chickens, and the incubation temperature of each egg is different. Make no mistake about it. ”

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's little bit of caution, Chu Ze naturally saw through it and didn't say anything.

So he didn't say much, just told him about the precautions of the incubator.

He motioned for the old farmer to wait.

And Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze, who had no intention of leaving, and he also roughly guessed it.

This guy probably has something to say.

"If you kid has something, just say it directly, you don't have to wait for us to ask. You kid isn't a well-behaved person, so there's no need to give us these flowers. ”

"Hehe, your majesty, you understand me! What's that, isn't the mark recuperating recently, and you already know the efficacy of my incubator. ”

"After the research of science and technology is developed, the most important thing is to promote and use it in a timely manner. I mean something like this. ”

"The imperial court stepped forward to build a poultry nursery. Isn't there an incubator now? Let's hatch a large number of poultry seedlings, and then deliver these poultry seedlings to the people at a guaranteed price. ”

"Your Majesty can see this? We invest some money in the early stage, and the poultry seedlings are only the minimum price, as long as we can maintain the operation of our nursery. ”

Then the people got a large number of poultry seedlings at a low price. These chickens, ducks and geese can also be fed with forage, and after the people have more of these poultry, it can be regarded as bringing a little more income to the family. ”

"At the same time, the surplus of poultry they raise can also be used for sale."

"This not only increases the market for meat, but also increases the income of the people, which is a good thing for the whole people."

"And poultry manure can also be accumulated into fertilizer, and they can also help clean up a certain amount of pests."

"It's a lot!"

As if he was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would disagree with his proposal, Chu Ze patiently explained his thoughts to Lao Zhu.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze, who was talking at length, and he couldn't help but have a little more banter in his eyes.

After Chu Ze's words were finished, Lao Zhu chuckled.

"What? What you kid can think of, can't we think of? ”

"Well, Your Majesty said with a smile, I mentioned it, mainly just to say my thoughts, so that Your Majesty can refer to it and see if there is anything wrong with it."

"What? Have you learned to pat yourself on the back? ”

"If you don't learn, you can't do it! Now that Biao and Godmother are not here, I'm afraid that you will suddenly beat me. ”

“.”

Looking at Chu Ze's appearance of living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Zhu Yuanzhang directly waved his hand disdainfully and made a gesture of expellation.

", we're upset when we see you. This is not just to be done here in Jinling. On the fifth side, you also let him arrest him. ”

"These fowl, no matter how big or small, or even when they are eggs, are not easy to transport, and the best way to do this is to have such a point in every city."

"The eggs used for incubation in the early stage can be made locally. As long as there is the first batch, let each nursery raise some breeding chickens and ducks in the future. ”

"Let's set up a rule later, if anyone dares to eat the breeders and ducks in the nursery, we will directly punish him for the nine clans."

“.”

One sentence of the Nine Clans is such an understatement.

The corners of Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

Emperor Honghu is the Emperor Hongwu after all!

The nine clans or something, if they don't agree with each other, they will be killed

Nine Clans Elimination..

"Your Majesty, in addition to this matter, there is another matter I would like to apply for with you."

After finishing the business, Chu Ze couldn't help but think of the previous promise to the employees at the test site.

And after Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he also frowned.

Every time this guy puts on this posture, it doesn't seem to be a good thing!

Do you want to interrupt him directly and let him get out of here?

"Boy, let's tell you first, if you suddenly tell us who is going to die again, we really want to beat you up first! Let's advise you to do it yourself."

After Chu Ze heard Lao Zhu's words, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose with some embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you've pretty much said it. The rest of the ones that didn't say it, it doesn't matter if they die. It doesn't matter."

"Huh? What are you talking about! If you don't die, you don't matter, do you? ”

"Well, let's skip that for now."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was gradually getting a little angry, Chu Ze snorted and quickly brought the topic back on track.

"Your Majesty, in my testing ground, apart from the guilty, almost everyone else is artisans, farmers, or ordinary people. Although these people are from humble backgrounds, many of them can't even write their own names. ”

"But Your Majesty, the contributions made by those employees in the test site for a period of time are obvious to all!"

"I myself have the ability to stand on the shoulders of giants, but they are the breakthroughs they are looking for in failure after failure."

"Your Majesty, I mean, should you give them some reward? When I say reward, I don't mean a reward for wealth, of course, I didn't say no. My main point is that your Majesty can go and reward them personally? ”

"Since the establishment of the test site, the method of forging steel has been optimized twice, the flintlock pistol that is now being produced has been made, the horse-drawn carriage has been improved, the earth-based fertilizer has been made, and the stamping equipment has been created."

"Although this credit may not seem big, it is definitely better than expanding the territory!"

"Your Majesty, I mean, the honor that these people who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty deserve!"

"They are definitely heroes and pioneers!"

Chu Ze is extremely cynical most of the time on weekdays.

He has no fear of power, and he is more casual.

But when he said this, his voice was extremely serious.

In this matter, he was making a request to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As he himself said, he stood on the shoulders of giants, and those in the experimental field were the giants of the future.

They deserve this honor.

Of course, the most important thing is that if these inventions can be personally commended and honored by His Majesty the Emperor.

Who's going to say in the future that they're just playing tricks?

For this era, it is impossible to easily shake the status of readers.

After all, you personally, you should never be delusional and make enemies of the world.

But it is not impossible to forge a new path from it.

Chu Ze never felt that he could promote the development of the entire scientific and technological process by himself.

It seemed impossible to him.

And the best he can do is to unveil the mystery of science, so that more people can try to pursue and pursue the truth of science.

As long as it can bring this trend, even if it is only one in a thousand, it is enough for the new city to start a fire.

And whether this trend can be brought up, the most important thing is whether technology can be valued and appreciated by those in power!

"Do you want to do it?"

Looking at Chu Ze, who had a serious and serious face, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes also narrowed slightly.

Sitting in place, he stretched out his hand to gently support his chin, and thought about what Chu Ze said very seriously.

To personally go to reward these people, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, is just a very simple matter.

But how is this award awarded?

For example, the incubator in front of you can hatch a huge number of poultry pups.

Why is poultry valuable?

In addition to the time it takes to raise the poultry itself, there is also the fact that these poultry are too cumbersome to hatch.

If a restaurant has a good business, it may have to eat dozens or hundreds of chickens and ducks a day.

And a family hatches three or two times a year, at most twenty or thirty, and eats a little by themselves.

What's left?

As long as there is an incubator that can hatch in large quantities, then chickens and ducks can be fed out in large quantities at one time.

Especially in people's homes, they are mainly diligent and eat more grass every day.

I fed more than 20 chickens and ducks at that time, and there was no problem at all.

You can even put it in the ground to get rid of insects.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has decided to take a long-term view, he can still see the matter of the incubator clearly, which is a great thing for the world.

And not to mention what steelmaking, flintlock pistols and the like.

These things have directly strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

If you talk about meritorious deeds, just grab any of these merits, and they are enough to be knighted!

However, these people were neither scholars nor generals

If he rashly knighted, the ministers will definitely not accept it

But if it's done hastily, will it be digging up the roots in the future?

At the same time, it is likely that the royal is too stingy

I'm afraid this matter needs to be carefully considered.

"The matter.. Rong Zhen thinks about it for the time being, don't worry, after thinking about it, we will give you an answer. ”

Facing Chu Ze's expectant gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him an answer immediately.

After all, this matter can really be big or small.

Although it seems like just a commendation. But the meaning behind it is too complicated.

He had to think it through.

"Okay, then Your Majesty, think about it, then I'll be fine here. I'll go first? ”

"Go ahead. The nursery thing, you just look at it. ”

"Okay, then Your Majesty, I'll go first."

didn't get a positive answer from Zhu Yuanzhang, to be honest, Chu Ze was still a little disappointed.

Soon, though, he relented.

What's the point if it's done so easily?

Of course, as for what he promised to the employees of the test site

At the end of the month, His Majesty personally rewarded them with honors, and Chu Ze was not in a hurry at all.

If Lao Zhu still hasn't thought about it at that time, then Chu Ze can completely let Zhu Biao do a favor and go through the motions.

Anyway, for those employees in the test site, whether it is the emperor or the crown prince.

These should be the big people they shouldn't have seen in their lives.

Whether the emperor goes or not, it makes little difference.

But after Chu Ze left, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and pondered for a while, but he was still a little undecided.

Because of Chu Ze's arrival, it brought a third way other than civil and military.

Moreover, this path seems to be the right track for the future.

However, how to look at this unknown road ahead, Lao Zhu has no foundation in his heart.

After all, he had never seen the future in Chu Ze's eyes.

"Forget it, let's find a girl!"
