Equally.

Zhu Di in the palace, as well as Zhu Gaochi, also received the news.

The two sat in a low-key carriage together and came to the General Mountain test field.

Accompanying him got off the bus, and there was a little boy about five years old.

The eunuchs stationed in the experimental field of General Mountain and Tyrant Zhao hurriedly saluted.

Even Guo An was surprised.

"I've seen Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness!"

"Eldest grandson, this is Dingguo Gong!"

On the side, Zhu Di introduced mildly.

Zhu Zhanji stared at Guo An with wide eyes, and said in a milky voice: "Zhanji has seen Dingguo Gong!" ”

"Your Royal Highness knows etiquette so well, I am blessed!"

Guo An hurriedly praised.

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of pride.

However, Zhu Gaochi on the side was a little unimpressed: "The teacher is too prereputable!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned and glared at Zhu Gaochi fiercely, "What's wrong with our eldest grandson?" ”

"Dad, the child didn't say this kid is bad!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly sneered, he actually forgot, he couldn't say that his eldest son was bad.

Especially in front of outsiders, even if he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, his father will not save any face for himself.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, ignoring Zhu Gaochi at all.

Instead, he looked at the violent Zhao on the side, "Tyrant's family, where are the sweet potato sprouts?" ”

"Your Majesty, please come here!"

Storm Zhao hurriedly said.

The two eunuchs on the side immediately led the way.

Zhu Di took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and walked forward.

"Good grandson, Grandpa Huang will take you to see our Daming's Furui Grain!"

"Good!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded in response, followed Zhu Di step by step, and walked forward.

Behind him, Guo An looked at this harmonious scene, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaochi on the side, such a favorite grandson, Zhu Gaochi, the prince's family status, is low again!

Zhu Gaochi's face was full of embarrassment.

Soon.

Then they came to a field surrounded and guarded by more than a dozen guards.

Through the glass, you can see that in dozens of pits, tender green sprouts have emerged.

Zhu Zhanji was full of curiosity, "Grandpa Huang, these are the grains of my Da Ming Xiangrui?" ”

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, his eyes shining brightly.

"Good grandson, this sweet potato is not only very delicious, but also has a very high yield. As long as these sweet potatoes are cultivated more, all the people of Daming can be planted, and the people of Daming will never go hungry again! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di's eyes were full of anticipation.

His father was able to take a group of old brothers to overthrow the storm yuan and establish the Ming Dynasty, because of the national famine, many people starved to death in the family.

And his father's greatest wish is to let the people of the world never go hungry again.

This kind of big thing, his father didn't do it, he will do it!

When worshipping his ancestors, he must tell his father the good news!

Suddenly remembering something, Zhu Di hurriedly asked: "Guo Qing, these sweet potatoes can be planted in autumn?" ”

Guo An hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, you need to build a glass greenhouse!" ”

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "I must build it seriously!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo An replied casually.

Zhu Di asked again: "...... How long will it take for these sweet potatoes to be planted? ”

Guo An shook his head slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't know, but these sweet potato seedlings need to grow up before they can be planted!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "After planting, I will send another hundred guards to guard day and night!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An subconsciously flattered.

Zhu Di looked at Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan on the side.

"The four Aiqing of the Guo family, this sweet potato is the hope that the people of my Ming Dynasty will no longer be hungry from now on.

As long as the sweet potato cultivation is successful, you will be the heroes of my Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely be rewarded, and I can even be knighted! ”

"Knighted?"

Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan were short of breath, and hurriedly saluted, their faces full of excitement.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen and the others will definitely do their best to cultivate this sweet potato!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "If you have any needs, even if you come to find me, or find the Duke of the Kingdom!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan responded in unison again.

Looking at the sweet potato seedlings on the side, his expression was fiery and his heart was full of motivation.

These are their future titles!

As for whether Zhu Di would be lying to them, they didn't have any doubts!

On the side, Zhu Gaochi, Guo An, and Bang Zhao were also watching quietly.

It's just a few titles, as long as you can successfully cultivate sweet potatoes, it's completely worth it.

Zhu Di asked again: "How is the corn growing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the corn has grown half a man's height!"

Guo Bingyong hurriedly said.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Zhu Di said a word, then took Zhu Zhanji with one hand and walked forward.

In front, two officials hurriedly led the way again.

When they were in the palace, they couldn't go to Zhu Di once a year.

Today, they not only led the way in front of His Majesty, but even led the way in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun, and they no longer felt that coming to such a remote countryside was a punishment!

This is the greatest blessing in their lives!

Soon.

And the crowd came again to the cornfield.

These corns, sure enough, have grown to half a human height.

And Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, looking at the corn seedling in front of them with extremely wide leaves and very thick rhizomes, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

"I didn't expect corn to look like this!"

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded indifferently.

Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, these corns have grown so tall, how long will it take to ripen?" ”

"This ......"

Guo An frowned and thought for a long time, a little uncertain: "Your Majesty, these corns should need two more months!" ”

"Two months?"

Zhu Di also frowned, "By that time, wouldn't it be autumn and the weather would be cold, would these corns still be ripe?" ”

"I guess it's okay!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "If it doesn't work, then build some glass greenhouses over these cornfields!" ”

As for whether the weather will have any bad effects on corn after the weather is cold, Guo An does not know.

However, he can be sure that there is no harm in building a glass greenhouse to keep the corn warm.

"Well, it's going to be built early!"

Zhu Di nodded again.

Guo An said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, in another half a month, Weichen will send someone to build it!" ”

"Hmm!"

……

This time, after Zhu Di finished watching the corn, he was not in a hurry to go back.

Instead, he took Zhu Zhanji to a trip to the Jiangjun Mountain Workshop and let Zhu Zhanji take a walk.

Subsequently, he took Zhu Zhanji to a cement straight road.

When he went back, Zhu Zhanji's face was full of excitement.

……

"Ning Yi, in the experimental field of the General Mountain outside the city, but what strange things have been cultivated, Your Majesty not only brought the crown prince, but also the emperor's eldest grandson......

Even, around there, a team of guards was put around, and even the tyrannical old man went there to guard? ”

Guo Mansion, Li Jinglong stared at Guo An curiously and asked.

Guo An was embarrassed, "Why didn't Brother Li go and see for himself?" ”

"I'm going!"

Li Jinglong looked helpless, "However, those guards stationed there don't enter, they just don't let me approach."

I wanted to break in, but the tyrannical old man and the two eunuchs ran out, and I didn't break in......"

Guo An looked weird, but he was really straightforward, the owner of your territory, but me!

Speaking, without waiting for Guo An to speak, Li Jinglong seemed to think of something again, and looked excited, "Ning Yi, we saw a green field, those tyrannical old men didn't let us see it, we were in the distance, watching with clairvoyance."

As a result, I found that the green thing grew quite well, but it was not any grain from our Daming, was it the grain of Furui that was rumored in the Jingshi in the past? ”

"That green is not a sweet potato, it's corn!"

Guo An said helplessly.

"Corn?"

Li Jinglong's face was overjoyed, and he asked again: "These corns are also grain?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded.

Li Jinglong asked again: "It was also brought back from overseas with sweet potatoes?" What is the yield? ”

"Five or six stones, seven or eight stones per mu?"

Guo An said with some uncertainty.

"Shhh...... So much? ”

Li Jinglong's eyes widened instantly, staring at Guo An tightly, "Brother Guo, after these corns are ripe, you must leave me one or two hundred catties of that good seed!" ”

"One or two hundred pounds?"

Guo An couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Li, look at the experimental field, there are tyrants, eunuchs, and guards guarding tightly, those good seeds come out, how can I be the master!"

"This ......"

Li Jinglong's face froze, thought for a while, and sighed slowly.

"That's what Brother Guo said!"

“…… But what does corn taste like? Brother Guo has you tasted it? ”

Guo An said: "When it is about to ripen, cooking that corn is a hunger strike!" ”

"Gollum~"

Li Jinglong swallowed his saliva directly, and hurriedly asked, "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty took the crown prince and Brother Guo to go there, but they went there just to see the corn?" ”

"It's not!"

Guo An shook his head slightly.

"What's that for?"

"Sweet potato!"

"Sweet potato?"

Li Jinglong was shocked again, "The sweet potato has also grown, where is it planted, why didn't I see it?" ”

Guo An replied: "I have just cultivated young seedlings, and I haven't started planting yet!" ”

"Haven't started planting yet......"

Li Jinglong pondered for a while, and then asked again: "How does the sweet potato taste?" ”

Guo An said: "It's more delicious than corn!" ”

“……”

Li Jinglong looked at Guo An directly, his face full of expectation, "Brother Guo, after the sweet potatoes are ripe, you must find a way to leave a few for the elder brother, let the elder brother taste the taste, whatever you want, you can open your mouth!" ”

Guo An said seriously: "I also want sweet potatoes and corn!" ”

Li Jinglong: "......"

"This thing, but Brother Guo found it from overseas, and Brother Guo still can't get it?"

Guo An said helplessly: "That tyrannical old man squatted in the experimental field all day long, just to prevent me!" ”

"This ......"

Li Jinglong's eyes widened, and he was a little indignant, "This Furui grain was found by Brother Guo, how could that tyrannical old man be like this?"

Moreover, he is the secretary of the ministry, but he made the Songjiang Mansion of Zhili full of corrupt officials, how can he still have the face to look at Brother Guo? ”

Guo An sighed softly, "There are still two eunuchs there, a hundred guards, and when the sweet potatoes and corn are about to ripen, there will be more guards!" ”

"Alas!"

Li Jinglong's face was full of pity.

Then, thinking of something, he asked Guo An again: "I wonder if Brother Guo has tasted these sweet potatoes?" ”

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"Yes?"

Li Jinglong hurriedly approached Guo An and asked in a low voice, "Does that taste really that delicious?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded and said, "Your Majesty and the crown prince can also testify!" ”

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?"

Li Jinglong looked at Guo An with a puzzled face.

Guo An explained lightly: "Corn is what we tasted together...... As for the sweet potato, it was discovered, and His Majesty and the crown prince also ate one! ”

"I see!"

Li Jinglong nodded slightly, "No wonder why that tyrannical old man wants to be so fast, and he has to go to the side of the test field outside the city to garrison!" ”

Guo An was not embarrassed at all, and asked again: "Since this matter has been discovered by Brother Li, presumably those nobles and officials in the Beijing Division have also found out!" ”

Li Jinglong nodded, "It should be so!" When we came back, we saw several waves of people and horses, all of whom went to the General Mountain Test Field! ”

Guo An's eyelids trembled slightly, and he felt a little wrong.

"Sir!"

At this time, the housekeeper Guo Ang walked in.

"Master, Marquis Wuding and Marquis Changxing are asking to see you outside the door!"

"So fast?"

Guo An sighed helplessly,

"Please come in, Marquis of Wuding, Marquis Changxing!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang answered and hurriedly walked out.

Soon.

The Marquis of Wuding and the Marquis of Changxing slowly walked in.

……

Palace.

Yisha cautiously reported to Zhu Diyu: "Your Majesty, the slave maid heard the news, in the past two days, many people in the Beijing Division have gone to the test field of General Mountain outside the city!" ”

"Their message is so long!"

Zhu Di snorted lightly, "However, there is a violent Zhao watching there, and they went in vain." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Yisha flattered, and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Guogong, Wuding Hou, and Changxing Hou, after returning from the test field of General Mountain, went to Dingguo Gong's Mansion again!" ”

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled slightly, "There are palace officials and guards in that experimental field, as well as Tyrant Zhao watching, and there is no way to find the Duke of Dingguo!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

……

It was a few days later.

Yisha handed over some pieces to Zhu Di again.

"Your Majesty, these are some secret notices from the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce!"

Zhu Di's expression froze, "So much? ”

Yishaha's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, those officials will inevitably do some illegal things when they go below."

The status of the merchants is low, and the local gentry can be bullied, and those officials will follow the crowd in order to get the support of the gentry......"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, picked up a book of musicals by himself, and read it.

After reading it, his brows furrowed directly.

Toss it aside and move on to another one.

The more I looked, the more gloomy my my expression became.

"Go and call Wang Zhen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yisha answered, and hurriedly walked down.

In the hall, Zhu Di continued to look at those secret notices one by one.

After reading the last book, Wang Zhen also walked in from outside the hall with a worried face.

"King Weichen really sees Your Majesty!"

"Look at these impeachment indicatas!"

Zhu Di said directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhenxin was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the secret report and read it.

Just after reading one book, Wang Zhen couldn't help but look angry.

"Your Majesty, those corrupt officials really deserve to be killed......"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "We have dozens of such secret reports here!" ”

"Dozens?"

Wang Zhen was shocked.

Zhu Di said coldly: "You personally take the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and then go to pick up the two armies from the Shenji Battalion, and go down to check these officials one by one!"

If it is true, we will allow you to take it down directly and exterminate your family! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Wang Zhen's face was solemn.

These officials who have made secret accusations are all extremely heinous people, even if they exterminate the three clans, it is not an exaggeration.

Zhu Di said again: "The gentry who are related to them should also be killed, and they should be punished!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhen responded.

As for how to kill, how to punish, and what to punish, he understands it!

"Go ahead!"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Wechen retires!"

Wang Zhen bowed and immediately withdrew.

……

Guo Mansion.

After listening to Wang Zhen's words, and then looking at the two eunuchs beside Wang Zhen, a trace of surprise flashed in Guo An's eyes.

"So fast?"

A eunuch said respectfully: "What Dingguo Gong said is extremely true, but it is all the sins of the officials and gentry below!" ”

"yes!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "I'll go to the Shenji Camp with you." ”

"Thank you Dingguogong!"

Wang Zhen and the two eunuchs hurriedly thanked him.

Guo An got up and walked out.

It's just that I'm still a little surprised in my heart.

It seems that by mistake, he seems to have made the East Factory out in advance.

I hope that these brocade guards don't hate him!

……

"See Dingguo Gong! I've seen you! ”

In the Shenji Camp, Liu Sheng looked at Guo An, Wang Zhen and the others with a surprised expression.

Dingguo Gong came to the barracks with the brocade guards and the eunuchs in the palace, what happened?

Guo An said directly: "Your Majesty has an edict to let the Shenji Battalion send out two armies and follow the Jinyi Guard to investigate and deal with some officials!" If necessary, you also need to raid your home! ”

"Out of two armies?"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Back to Dingguogong, in the near future, the competition between the left and right posts is the best!" ”

Guo An said: "Then let the two armies of the left and right posts go with the Jinyi guard!" ”

Liu Sheng shouted directly outside: "Someone, call the commanders of the two armies of the left and right posts to the handsome tent!" ”

"Whoa!"

……

Soon, in the camp of the Shenji Battalion, soldiers began to gather and prepare weapons, food and grass.

Three days later.

The generals of the two armies of the Shenji Battalion left the Beijing Division and headed south.

Up and down the Jingshi, there was a shock.

Two days ago, when Jinyi Wei sent Wang Zhen and officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple out of Beijing, the officials didn't care about it, and they just investigated the case.

But now, nothing has happened, and the Shenji Battalion has actually sent troops?

Tie Xuan, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly entered the palace and asked Zhu Di about it.

Investigate the case!

Zhu Di only said two words, Tie Xuan's face changed greatly, and he didn't ask any more questions.

This majesty is even more ruthless than the first emperor!

The first emperor just used the brocade guard, and this majesty is directly the Shenji battalion!

This is not an investigation, but to raid the family and exterminate the family, right?

And, on a large scale?
