Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Daming, opened his eyes, and found himself in a small compartment in the apse of the Huagai Palace, lying on the bed, the same as when he heard the voice in his heart before and came back to lie down and close his eyes.

Glancing out the window, it didn't take long.

After sitting up from the bed, Zhu Yuanzhang saw a pile of bags on the ground, all of which were fruits he bought from Chu Zhen, plus a small bag of corn seeds.

"Someone!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted outside, and the two young eunuchs waiting outside the door immediately opened the curtain and walked in, glanced at Long Yan, and hurriedly called a few palace maids to come in and serve His Majesty to get up.

Although His Majesty is said to sleep in clothes, he still has to tidy up the appearance of the Long Live Lord.

It's just that.

The palace maids who came in, plus the two eunuchs, were all attracted by a pile of fruits on the ground, and the surprise and confusion in their eyes could be vaguely seen.

Got these things before?

"What's your name? What do you do on weekdays? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the bed, and the palace maid combed his hair and asked them.

"Hooray!"

The two young eunuchs were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and several palace maids couldn't help but shake their hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, pointed to the fruits on the ground and said, "These fruits were all obtained by me from Chu Zhenren, and I went to call the people of Shangshan Jian to come over, and sent them to the queen for her to dispose of." ”

"Yes, Hooray Grandpa."

Only then did the two eunuchs feel a little more at ease, and the man on the left hurriedly replied: "Back to Grandpa, the slave's name is Huang Yongqi, who belongs to the seal of the seal and is in charge of the grandfather's seal." ”

The man on the right also hurriedly replied, saying that his name was Ding Wen and that he was in charge of the imperial pen.

After finishing speaking, they didn't see Grandpa Banzai speak for a long time, so they raised their heads and took a look, and found that His Majesty was staring at them, which frightened the two of them so much that they hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Seal, Imperial Pen...... Who can think of Da Ming, you two-"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at them, angry and funny.

The little-known position of the little eunuch in the Hongwu Dynasty did not even dare to call himself a minister, but in the future, he became a powerful eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuch of the palm print alongside the first assistant of the cabinet, and the eunuch of the pen!

It must be said that fortune is impermanent.

"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Go and call the supervisor of the inner palace supervisor to come over and ask them to bring a fine scale." ”

"Yes, Hooray Grandpa!"

The two young eunuchs went out to pass on His Majesty's message, asking the people from the Shangshan Prison and the Inner Palace Supervisor to come over quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang took things out outside, and not long after, Zeng Yuan, the eunuch of Shangshan, brought people over, and after saluting, he went in and took the fruit away and sent it to the queen.

After waiting for a while, Li Jian, the eunuch of the inner palace, hurriedly came, "Your Majesty!" ”

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, in the Hongwu Dynasty, the inner palace supervisor was the head of the twelve eunuchs.

"Did you get the scales?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, Li Jian immediately asked the little eunuch to present it, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what Your Majesty wants to weigh in the scales?" The minister had already called two people who were using scales to come over. ”

"Useful for you to bring nature...... Come and see, do you know what this bag is? ”

"Seeds?"

Seeing that His Majesty was in high spirits, Li Jian also smiled all over his face, walked over to take a closer look, and found that in a bag in front of His Majesty's table, there was a bunch of white things, which looked like grains of rice and were bigger than grains of rice.

"The minister is clumsy, and he has read so few books that he really can't recognize what this is." Li Jian shook his head again and again.

"Hahaha, you can't see it! This is the food that can feed 10 million more people in the Ming Dynasty in the future, called: corn! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily, his dark face was full of excitement.

Who would have thought that in the poor lands overseas, there would be such drought-tolerant and high-yield grain that could be grown in the mountains?

According to Chu Zhen, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can feed an additional 100 million people.

He counted less, a single corn to feed 10 million people, isn't it too much?

The Ming Dynasty, which had just experienced the end of the Yuan Dynasty, needed to restore the population and enrich the vast empty land in the north, and this corn came too timely!

Li Jian was taken aback, "Feed 10 million more people?!" Your Majesty, this corn ...... Is it also for His Majesty on Chu Zhenren? ”

He heard the news outside the hall just now, and His Majesty took a lot of lychees from Chu Zhenren and came back.

"Offering? Hahahaha. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered what Chu Zhen's kid said, "buying eunuchs in the palace", couldn't help laughing, and said to Li Jian: "In the future, whenever you mention Chu Zhenren, you must be respectful." And he also gave me this corn and fruit. ”

Li Jian heard the subtle difference, the offering is for the courtiers, and the word "gift" is to prove that Chu is a real person......

Li Jian didn't dare to think about it.

Two days ago, there was a lot of uproar in and outside the palace, and no one has made it clear how it was sent to Yingtianfu.

It can only be speculated that the identity of this Chu Zhenren is extremely not simple, and ordinary princes and princes can't compare to it.

"You take this corn back and keep it alive, put it in the granary, and keep it in three parts!"

Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the corn to Li Jian and instructed him to keep it safe.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Jian respectfully took the bag of corn seeds.

Although it weighed less than a pound, it made him feel heavy, His Majesty attaches great importance to this corn, if something goes wrong, the entire inner palace eunuch will have to fall to the ground.

"This bag of corn weighs how much."

Zhu Yuanzhang handed him the corn that Chu Zhen weighed with scales, and said in a deep voice: "Weigh it in front of me, change three scales, and let three people weigh it!" ”

“…… Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Li Jian's face did not change, but he was already shocked in his heart.

Change three scales and let three people weigh it, Your Majesty attaches more importance to this paper-wrapped corn!

What he didn't know was that Zhu Yuanzhang personally watched Chu Zhen use the strange-looking, but extraordinarily fine scale, to weigh one or two of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", and handed them to him and Li Shimin, plus the two little girls.

How heavy are these two is related to the dosage of the doctor's prescription in the future, how can you not be cautious?

Soon, the first weighing of corn weighed one tael or four cents.

The other two scales were also brought quickly, and the error was not large, both of which were about one or two or four cents.

"Twenty taels of gold ingots, equivalent to about fourteen taels from Chu Zhen, that's the number!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, so Li Jian rewarded the three of them and took the bag of corn to store it.

As soon as Li Jian left, a eunuch came to say:

"Long live Grandpa, the governor of the capital has come to see him!"

"Mao Xiang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who came back from a guest at Chu Zhen's, thought for a while before remembering this incident, "Let him in." ”

"Yes...... Xuandu Governor Mao Xiang to meet him! ”

Not long after, a man in his forties, dressed in a dark red bullfighting suit and wearing a three-mountain hat, walked into the Huagai Hall and bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

After the eunuch brought the chair, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him urgently: "How is the investigation?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed that he has not found out any evidence of Hu Weiyong's rebellion, but only found that he had many correspondence with the Korean Gong, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng, Pingliang Hou Fei Ju, etc., and there are 37 cases of Hu Weiyong abusing his power and bending the law and using the public for personal gain, please take a look at it."

Mao Xiang motioned to the eunuch to present the fold, and before he entered the door, these things had been temporarily collected by the eunuch.

"What a Chinese book provincial prime minister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile full of memoranda of Hu Weiyong's crimes, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he saw the one that ranked first in the memorabilia.

Han Gong, Lee Sun-chang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped his anger stiffly.

This is the one who followed his father-in-law when he was still in the army, and who followed him before he had his own power.

After he changed the Yuan to establish the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang was named the left prime minister because of his high merits, Xuanguo Gong, and then entered Guanglu Dafu, Zuo Zhuguo, Taishi, and changed Xuanguo Gong to Han Gong, 4,000 stone in Nianlu, hereditary replacement.

Hu Weiyong was recommended by Li Shanchang.

Wang Guangyang and others impeached him before, and he was arrogant.

Princess Lin'an married his son Li Qi.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang quietly read a few letters written by Li Shanchang to Hu Weiyong after Mao Xiang found out, and asked, "Does the prince know about this?" ”

"The minister has told the prince, but the prince has not read the letter."

"Go and call the prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang instructed the eunuch.

The hall was quiet for a long time before Mao Xiang heard the Holy Order's order again:

"Go to the prison and mention Hu Weiyong!"

"Hu Weiyong......? Yes, Your Majesty! ”

The eunuch almost thought that he had heard it wrong, and after confirming that His Majesty's expression had not changed, he hurriedly went to deliver the order.

Mao Xiao chuckled in his heart, and sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Hu Weiyong, no, the prime minister can't die?

When he investigated this case, didn't he offend the prime minister to death?!
