"Roast goose!"

At this moment, there was a shout, but it was Queen Ma who came over with a plate of steaming roast goose, and Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun also let go of Xiao Han when they saw this, so as to avoid blocking Queen Ma's way.

"Sister-in-law, why did you send it here in person?"

When Xu Da saw Queen Ma, he couldn't help but ask.

"Hey! This roast goose is your sister-in-law's specialty dish over the years, and the palace maids are careless, so I don't worry about them sending it, so I just sent it over in person, and I will see you. ”

"Don't worry, the other dishes are almost fine, and they will come up soon."

Queen Ma said with a smile on her face.

"After so many years, my sister-in-law's roast goose is still so fragrant."

Chang Yuchun sniffed next to Queen Ma's roast goose.

"Well, it's really fragrant, but this roast goose is generally not eaten for nothing."

Xu Da pursed his lips.

In the past, every time Queen Ma made roast goose in person, there was something to say, Xu Da had to let Zhu Yuanzhang take something, so that when he saw the roast goose, Xu Da was a little hungry.

"Whew! For you to eat, can you still have a piece of meat? ”

"Eat yours, you have more to do every day."

Chang Yuchun glanced at Xu Da.

"Yo! Why is this big circle of people standing here? ”

"Sit down, eat standing up?"

Queen Ma just walked down, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of it.

"Isn't this waiting for you, big brother?"

"If you don't come, no one will dare to sit."

Xu Da smiled.

"This Daming, what else do you Xu Da dare not do? How did we not know before? ”

"Let's remember, this emperor didn't have the face to come here here with you Xu Da, back then, it was a jar of wine and directly poured it on our heads in public."

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said.

"Boom! Let's make fun of us again, you husband and wife are like this every time, one sings with a red face and the other sings with a white face. ”

"The result can be cleaned up by our old Xu."

Xu Da rolled his eyes.

"Okay, don't be poor, sit down, this chair is not enough? Or? Shall we sit down again in the next order? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, and the smile on his face did not decrease.

Fighting all the way and sweeping the world, this group of old brothers can still be by their side and eat a bite of roast goose together, which is a beautiful thing.

"Let everyone come this time, nothing else."

"You also know that now we are nominally an emperor, but in fact, the affairs of the last dynasty have been handed over to the crown prince, so there is no emperor Zhu Yuanzhang here, only your big brother, Zhu Chongba, who is herding cattle."

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others sat down one after another, and then spoke.

"Then we are the little brother who follows Big Brother to eat calves."

Chang Yuchun grinned.

"Today, these old brothers, there is a lack of Tang He, let's just say a few words, first of all, although this Meng Yuan was beaten away by us, but there is still this large grassland in the north, the power is still not to be underestimated, you can't slack off."

"Secondly..."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back in his chair and began to speak.

"Okay, it's a heavy eight, you're almost right to say two sentences, I'm going to get tired of listening to it."

"Don't talk about it, let's eat."

After Queen Ma finished serving, she sat down next to Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking about waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to finish speaking before starting to speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be happy to see these old brothers, all the way from the situation in the Ming and Yuan dynasties to the political style of the Ming Dynasty, and then back to the situation in the Ming and Yuan dynasties.

This time, Queen Ma really couldn't hold back, and directly interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What do you see?"

"Eat!"

"Kunning Palace, your sister-in-law is the leader, don't you understand this rule?"

As soon as Queen Ma spoke, the audience suddenly fell silent, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang pouted and said.

"Eat, eat."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chang Yuchun suddenly waved his hand, signaling that the children who came with him could start using chopsticks, and Xu Da also began to greet him for dinner.

Zhu Yuanzhang's speech was interrupted by Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao and Xiao Han were also relieved, and they moved their chopsticks to prepare for dinner.

"You three girls are welcome, eat more, I said, this body is still a little thinner, grow more meat, and it will not be easy to get sick in the future."

Just as Zhu Biao and Xiao Han had eaten a few bites of food, Queen Ma's gaze had already shifted from Chang Qingyun to Chang Qingling and then to Xu Miaoyun, and she spoke.

Hearing Queen Ma mention this stubble, Xiao Han and Zhu Biao couldn't help but stop their chopsticks together, they should have come, they still came.

"Biao'er, Fengxue, this time, I have also suffered you."

"Although this state affairs are busy, but this matter cannot be left behind, when will you marry these three flower-like girls to your mother?"

Sure enough, Queen Ma opened her mouth to ask the brothers in the next sentence.

"Ahem!"

"Mother, recently our Ming court is holding the imperial examination reform, the place is in turmoil, I am in charge of the country, I can't slack off, why don't you let Fengxue get married first, it just so happens that he has to take two, and the difficult ones will be handled first."

Zhu Biao coughed lightly and said to Queen Ma.

"What nonsense?"

"You are the boss of our old Zhu family, how can there be a reason to jump you over."

"As for the turmoil of reform, isn't your father still there?"

"When the palace test is over, let him go back and continue to take over the government, and you will finish the marriage first."

While speaking, Queen Ma also glared at Zhu Yuanzhang as if she were nothing, obviously dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior of throwing all the burden to Zhu Biao.

"Ahem!"

"That standard, your mother is right, Dad's age is not too old, and he can still live in our Daming, and when you finish presiding over the palace test, we will resume the court, the first thing is to solve your marriage first, and then the wind and snow."

Feeling Queen Ma's gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became a righteous body.

There is no way, in this harem, Queen Ma has the final say, even if it is Lao Zhu, she has to listen to the command when she comes.

"Fengxue, don't steal fun on the side."

"Qingling and Miaoyun are your main room, I have already thought about it, when the time comes, you will marry the two of them together, and then cave together."

Queen Ma glanced at Xiao Han, who was holding back a smile, and spoke.

"Ahem, ahem!"

As soon as he heard Queen Ma say this, Xiao Han suddenly coughed violently, and then was glared back by Queen Ma.

"Sister-in-law!"

"That's not right, right?"

"It's okay to take it together, what is this cave house? There has never been such a statement! ”

Xu Da suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Something is wrong, this is so wrong, who married a girl and brought a cave house.

Chang Yuchun didn't speak, and frowned, waiting for Queen Ma's next words.

"If there is no saying, can't you create a saying?"

"What's the matter, your girl, are you still afraid of his girl?"

Queen Ma's gaze swept over Xu Da and Chang Yuchun one after another.

In fact, there is no way, in principle, Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun are both Xiao Han's main room, in order to prevent marrying one first and then marrying the family, so they can only choose to marry at the same time.

However, this leads to the question of the next cave house, who comes first and who comes last, which makes people difficult.

So in the end, Queen Ma simply didn't want to, anyway, the British Mansion was not small, so she simply gave Xiao Han a quilt and slept together.

"No, I didn't mean that, but I thought, this, that's not good, okay?"

The corners of Xu Da's mouth twitched slightly, and he said.

"There's nothing bad about it, I just feel good, and that's it."

Queen Ma opened her mouth and clapped directly.

"That's... Mother... Let's not mention the question of whether it's good or not, with the physical condition of the wind and snow, aren't you afraid to take him away directly for a night? ”

Zhu Biao leaned into Queen Ma's ear and whispered.

Although it is in the form of whispering, Zhu Biao's voice is not small, at least Xiao Han and Zhu Yuanzhang around him can hear it.

"Oops! I almost forgot about it, it's okay, when the time comes, my mother will make a dose of supplemental food for Fengxue. ”

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Queen Ma remembered Xiao Han's physical problem, with Xiao Han's physical state, maybe it would be unbearable to come together, if this is to balance the Chang and Xu families and put Xiao Han in, this is more than worth the loss, and immediately Queen Ma opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't lower her voice at all, and the faces of the people at the table were different.

At this moment, Xiao Han's face is going to darken, Zhu Biao's guy must be deliberate, it must be!

Wait, when will he Xiao Han suffer this loss, and wait for him to go back and get two tons of wool from him.

And it was only at this time that the outspoken Queen Ma reacted when she saw everyone's faces, and glanced at Xiao Han apologetically.

"Brother Fengxue, eat this, this is delicious."

Chang Qingling was silent for a while after listening to Queen Ma's words, and took a handful of leeks from the table for Xiao Han.

"Brother Fengxue, eat this, this is delicious."

Seeing Chang Qingling acting like this, Xu Miaoyun was not to be outdone, and sandwiched two oysters for Xiao Han.

Xiao Han: ...

"Have you two seen the Daming Agricultural Technique?"

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched slightly.

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Chang Qingling replied in surprise.

"The book... I wrote..."

Xiao Han sat in place, his face stiff, and at the same time he secretly regretted it in his heart.

I really have nothing to do, why do I write these unconfirmed statements in the future that I don't have? This time, it's okay, the atmosphere that attracts readers' interest in reading is not connected, and it directly connects itself to the ground, and it belongs to the ground house that lifts a stone and shoots itself in the foot.

"Poof! Ha ha! Hahahaha! ”

On the side, Zhu Biao couldn't hold back at all, and laughed directly.

Obviously, Daming agriculture is related to the description, and this guy has also focused on it.

"Biao'er, what are you laughing at?"

Queen Ma was a little inexplicable, but she still gave Chang Qingyun a look, as if to say, she also had a relationship with Zhu Biao.

Yes?

Seeing Queen Ma's eyes, Chang Qingyun froze slightly, this, this is not necessary, right?

But soon, he came into contact with Queen Ma's serious gaze again.

After hesitating, Chang Qingyun finally decided not to make the same as his two younger sisters, so he directly sandwiched a pig kidney for Zhu Biao.

Suddenly, Zhu Biao's smile froze on his face, but the smile did not disappear, but shifted to Xiao Han's face.

Seeing such a scene, among the three old men, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was the only one who had seen the key techniques of Daming agriculture, but remembered that he was a little unclear, finally changed from confusion to sudden enlightenment.

"Brother, no, this... What are you laughing at? ”

Chang Yuchun looked stunned and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hearing that Chang Yuchun asked the doubts in his heart, Xu Da also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Hmm... It's okay, let's, our son is discussing the key techniques of Daming agriculture and academic exchanges, and he has a new understanding and is happy. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said, quietly glanced at Queen Ma, and then grabbed an oyster.

This family banquet arranged by the old Zhu family, because there was no Lan Yu and Mu Ying, there was a lot of persuasion links.

After Queen Ma made the decision to get married, it was carried out quickly in a burst of laughter, and before it was dark, everyone was driven back directly by Zhu Yuanzhang.

returned to his British mansion, because he didn't drink too much, Xiao Han was still sober, so he began to write and began to draft for Zhu Biao the exam questions about the Ming Dynasty Agricultural Techniques, the Ming Dynasty Political Outline and the Ming Law.

The political outline of the Ming Dynasty and the law of the Ming Dynasty are relatively easy, after all, they are all relatively clear knowledge, and when Xiao Han came up with the questions, most of them directly imitated the later generations to make theoretical questions.

When it came to the Daming Agricultural Technique, Xiao Han hesitated slightly, and finally decided to have some practical problems.

Speaking of agricultural practice, in fact, Xiao Han himself is not very good, but fortunately, he has had in-depth exchanges with old farmers from all over the Ming Dynasty to understand, so with Xiao Han's own knowledge of biology and agriculture in later generations, it is also quite handy.

"Wind and snow."

Xiao Han put down his pen, but at this time, Zhu Biao walked in from outside.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say someone send it to you? ”

Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao, who suddenly visited again, and asked.

"I thought I would have to drink a lot today, so I said that before, but today is okay, so I came over by myself, just to listen to you explain these exam questions in detail."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

It can only be said that Zhu Biao is worthy of being a good student, and he is really rigorous.

"Actually, it's not good, in my answer, it's written quite clearly, you read it once, you should be able to understand most of the questions."

Xiao Han said and directly handed the exam questions to Zhu Biao.

"Hmm..."

Zhu Biao took the exam questions handed over by Xiao Han and looked at them.

"This, the last question of this Ming agricultural technique, is the reason why this high-quality cultivated seed must be selected from the planting field where there is no additional condition.

Progeny, trait separation or something, what does this mean, and what does this self-pollination mean? ”

Zhu Biao asked, pointing to two of the last few questions.

"Well..."

"It's going to be complicated to explain, and I really didn't explain it in detail in the Daming Agronomy Essentials, but I just said the operation method."

"It's the finale, you just need to know that it's to prevent bad seeds."

"Do you remember when I told you that I actually have a way to make varieties that are both high-yielding and disease-resistant, and after a while, I plan to start cultivating, and when I recruit a group of farmers who will help me with the cultivation of the fields, I will make a book for additional explanations."

"If there are candidates who are more serious, just leave it to me."

Xiao Han looked at it and spoke.

Regarding Mendel's theory, Xiao Han felt that it was more troublesome to explain, especially the process of wanting to hybridize high-quality varieties, which involved the hybridization process of several linked genomes, even Xiao Han himself couldn't fully explain it before he really got things out, so he simply didn't explain it to Zhu Biao.

After all, hybrid rice is simple in principle, Mendelian theory, and any high school student in later generations can talk about it.

But in practice, it is not an ordinary trouble, otherwise, it would not take so many years to succeed at that level.

And Xiao Han added these questions, on the one hand, he wanted to show off his hand and show those candidates the strength of Daming's skills through the super-outline questions, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if there could be a genius who could comprehend the essence of Mendel's three points on his own.

"Well, in that case, then I'll listen to you."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and sure enough, Fengxue, this kid, still kept a hand.

"Then let's talk about clearing the wasteland."

"A large number of displaced people have been recruited, and this spring, we can directly open up the land and expand the land."

"How do we choose this wasteland site, whether to open up the wasteland in the vicinity of the state capital, or to gather some displaced people in a certain place to carry out special wasteland."

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"Hmm..."

"I think so, half of the displaced people are clearing the land on the spot to restore the amount of farmland in the state capitals, and the other half of the displaced people are concentrated and mobilize their enthusiasm for land reclamation by dividing more land."

"As for where to go..."

Xiao Han said, walked to the Ming map hanging in his study, and stretched out a finger.

"Go here."

Xiao Han pointed to a place on the map.

"Lingnan?"

"It's a sparsely populated place with a lot of wasteland, and it's really a good place to open up wasteland."

Zhu Biao nodded and agreed to speak.

"It's more than that."

"In my opinion, Lingnan has three advantages."

"First, the climate in Lingnan is warmer than in the north, and it is humid enough to grow three times a year, even if the climate becomes colder, if there is enough fertile land here, it can maintain enough grain output in the case of a large area of cold disasters in the north."

"Second, just like you said, Lingnan is sparsely populated, and the strength of the family is relatively weak, we can create more ordinary people who obey my Ming Dynasty, as the rear of my Ming Dynasty's stronger control."

"Third..."

When Xiao Han said this, he paused slightly, and moved his fingers down again.

"Do you know these countries?"

Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.

"It's... The state of Yue (the name of the Chen Dynasty was Da Yue, and at this time it was not yet a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, so it was called the Yue State here, not Annam), the Zhan State, the Lancang State, the Ava State and the Bago State. ”

Zhu Biao looked at it and said to Xiao Han.

"I know a lot."

Xiao Han smiled and said.

"That is, I read a lot of books, although I don't know as much as you, but I still know the surroundings of Daming."

"What, are you going to subjugate these countries as my Ming subordinates? Still is... Directly put the Han and Tang dynasties of Yue Kingdom on the spot and directly incorporate them into the territory of my Ming Dynasty? ”

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"Nope! I intend to conquer all these countries in the future and bring them under the direct rule of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Therefore, a large number of people in Lingnan have been opened up to increase the population, which is also convenient for us to prepare for future immigration to these places."

Xiao Han opened his mouth and said, his expression serious.

"It's... Will it work? Fortunately, Yue Guo has a history of belonging to the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains for thousands of years, and those other countries have never belonged to us. ”

Zhu Biao hesitated slightly.

"How... Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid? ”

"These are all good places, the climate is warm and humid, and all of them are agricultural treasures that can be harvested three or even four times a year."

"Qin Shi Huang can invade Baiyue in the south and include the countries that are not under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty into Great Qin, can't I be in the Ming Dynasty?"

Xiao Han smiled and spoke.

Xiao Han is going to take all these places while he is alive.

If nothing else, just to be able to have more grain producing areas after the weather gets colder, even if the north is chaotic, the south can be as stable as Mount Tai and give Daming a new life.

There is a saying in later generations that Ming died in the Xiaoice Age.

This statement is actually a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that successive years of natural disasters and a cold climate have indeed dealt a heavy blow to Daming.

Xiao Han's move is intended to prepare in advance, so that the Ming Dynasty in later generations will not fall into an embarrassing situation of no money and no food because of the lack of income for many years.

"Afraid?"

"You, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, are not afraid, I, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, will the future Ming Taizong be afraid?"

"Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and even they can destroy dozens of countries and sweep thousands of miles, so I am naturally not afraid."

Zhu Biao said with his chest straight.

"Actually, there is a Meng Yuan."

Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Then you are even more afraid, as the future son of the Han family, why are you afraid of expanding the territory?"

"Kou can go, I can go too!"

As soon as he heard Xiao Han mention Meng Yuan, Zhu Biao suddenly became even more excited.

"Actually, my Ming Dynasty conquered these places, and there is an advantage that the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Sect and even Meng Yuan can't match."

Xiao Han slowly spoke to Zhu Biao.

"What's the explanation?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up slightly, and now that Da Ming was poor, he still had an advantage, and he suddenly became interested.

"Let me ask you, where is the capital of Qin, Han and Tang?"

Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.

"Xianyang and Chang'an are all in Guanzhong."

Zhu Biao is like a few treasures, and he spoke directly, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he is familiar with almost all the history books of the past dynasties.

"Where is the capital of Mengyuan?"

Xiao Han asked again.

"Dadu."

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han a little strangely.

"Then where is my Daming?"

Xiao Han asked again.

"Yingtian, Jinling City."

Zhu Biao said, his pupils shrank, and then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

"I understand, Qin, Han and Tang, their country is in Guanzhong, and the Mengyuan country is in Dadu, those places are remote and barren for them, but for my Daming, whose country is in Yingtianfu, Jiangnan, those places are not too far away, naturally, after my Daming conquers these places, he will be able to have stronger control."

"This geographical relationship, speaking of which, can even be closer than Qin Shi Huang's southern expedition to Baiyue."

Xiao Han chuckled and spoke.

The capital of the country is Yingtianfu, which is indeed an advantage that neither Qin, Han, Tang nor Mengyuan can match.

To a certain extent, the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties were precisely because the capital of the country was Guanzhong, and after Qin Shi Huang conquered Baiyue in the south, he was no longer able to go south, because he was really out of reach, and could only go north to fight the northern barbarians for many years.

If not, in history, later Zhu Di got the capital to Beiping, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died Sheji, after Annan was included in the territory, he might really be able to eat it completely.
