Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 568 The Eve of the Grand Show

At the same time, another court meeting ended.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden is different yet similar to that in Zhou Du's place.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Zheng's assistant minister Ma Jia were taking a long-awaited walk and talking with each other.

Behind them, except for the old eunuch Wang Ban and Erhu, the nearest eunuchs were several feet away.

But until the two of them walked to a corner of the Imperial Garden.

Unlike the other plots of land planted with rare flowers and plants, this is a piece of farmland that has obviously been harvested recently.

The two finally stopped and got the conversation to the point.

......

"As for Zhou Xian, we have asked Lan Zhong to take charge personally."

"As for Zhou Du and his group, Feng Shen should have received the news and is ready to turn them into rootless duckweed at any time."

"Hahaha, even if we drag them here and chop them off right now, I'm afraid they will be in trouble in front of our Zhao Aiqing, our Imperial Master!"

"In this small space, a holy miracle was created between the green and yellow of March!"

"They also don't understand how Zhao Aiqing dared to defeat their army with just a handful of stone powder and a few tall grasses!"

When Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang passed by those rare flowers and plants before, his eyes did not change much.

At this moment, standing in front of a pile of straw, he couldn't hide his excitement.

As he spoke and laughed, he even bent down, broke off a piece of straw, and put it directly into his mouth.

"His Majesty!"

"What are you fussing about? Go get us a horse!"

"Yes!"

The action of breaking the straw and putting it directly into his mouth scared the eunuch Wang Ban a lot.

But Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ignored all this. Instead, he turned around and asked him to lead a horse, showing his displeasure at his fright and noise.

The chewing action in the mouth naturally never stopped.

"I didn't expect that this straw would taste sweet if you savored it carefully. It would be a pity to only use it to feed horses."

Turning to Zhao Zheng again, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed again.

Among them were all the civil and military officials in the court, and even all the princes and princesses, all of whom were eager for the incomparable gift -

Kind recognition, even admiration.

At the same time, he continued the topic he had not finished just now.

"What's even more unfortunate is that our Lord Zhao is so kind! If we had followed our way, these traitors wouldn't have had the time to respond to them!"

"With these treasures brought out by Lord Zhao, the world will prosper!"

The reason why Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was in such a good mood was naturally not exactly what he said.

However, Zhao Zheng only wanted to show this.

So he did not answer questions about state affairs and continued to talk about food.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

"The climate in the capital is not as good as that in the south and north of Guangdong. Fortunately, although it was rushed, the supply of silage verification was sufficient."

"As for the acceptance of the people, it can only come slowly."

"But don't worry, Your Majesty. This crop is perfect for the transition between the autumn harvest and the spring planting. It can also provide an extra income. As long as the court promotes it, the people will be able to expand the scale of planting soon."

"On the contrary, Your Majesty should consider this first. Potatoes and sweet potatoes have large yields and can be planted in parallel by inserting stems in blocks, but the amount of corn seeds is limited..."

That’s right, corn was previously planted in this corner of the imperial garden, and potatoes and sweet potatoes will follow.

In fact, Zhao Zheng didn't want to send these strategic materials away so easily.

But Li Jin's previous proposal was still to use these grains as future weapons.

All of a sudden, Zhao Zheng, who had experienced many ups and downs for many years, vaguely sensed a hint of hidden danger in the southwestern team.

He could think this way because countless people, even the emperor, did not want his saintly halo to be shattered.

Except for Zhou Du and his group.

So they became thorns in the eyes and flesh of the emperor and the people around Zhao Zheng!

But if Li Jin and other students from the Zhao Mansion who are far away in the southwest also think so, then it will definitely not work.

Innovation-driven development, talent reserves, village revitalization, integration of people's aspirations, development of science and education, and even regional coordination can all be laid within the dynasty first, allowing the southwest to take the lead.

It's like discussing the premise of sustainable development with farmers who are reluctant to burn more coal in winter.

First of all, every household must be able to burn coal in winter, be able to afford it, and have substitutes.

Otherwise, everything would be just empty talk.

The development of the foundation is not a one-time effort.

But people are most likely to be impatient before the sun comes out, and once people are impatient, they are likely to do bad things.

Just like the former Yuan cavalry, who had more advanced muskets and artillery in hand, should have become a laughing stock, but they still struggled for so long.

With guns and bullets in hand, we must contain the enemy and ensure the purity of the team.

The world is not important; what is important is how the people in the world are.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng is not unhurried about changing the world. On the contrary, he is even more anxious.

But he needs to be as fast as thunder in July, and smoother than a boat on a calm lake.

"We have learned a lesson!"

"Oops!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang frowned first and then regretted it after hearing this, because he had never thought about the possibility of such a happy trouble.

But the first wave of harvest sent to the imperial kitchen is probably already emitting a delicious aroma.

Even if he regretted it, it was too late.

At this time, the horse was finally led over by Wang Ban.

Although no one was seen raising horses in the imperial garden, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had the final say, so naturally no one dared to remind others.

"Your Majesty, look how happy the horse is eating!"

The eunuchs were very quick and in the blink of an eye they had chopped the straw into small pieces.

The eunuch Wang Ban's surprise reminder once again dealt a heavy blow to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"What a wasteful bunch! Did we let you feed so much?"

"This old minister deserves death!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded and anxious.

He scolded Wang Ban directly, which made Wang Ban feel aggrieved and questioning.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten again that corn is an annual plant?"

"..."

"Of course not. I was just in a hurry. Feed him! He is eating the same thing as our emperor."

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed again when faced with Zhao Zheng's straightforward reminder.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned. Even though his expression changed so many times in a short period of time, his face did not turn red and his voice did not tremble.

Eunuch Wang Ban and his disciples gave Zhao Zheng a look of gratitude.

"Then we will work with Lord Zhao to arrange the positions of Zhou Xian's doctors immediately."

On the issue of food, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he could not win the argument with Zhao Zheng.

But Zhao Zheng led the topic to food, and he couldn't help but get involved.

So he had to change the subject again.

"Everything is subject to your majesty's will."

As for Zhao Zheng, all his goals had been achieved. If the emperor wanted to regain his face, he naturally had to return the favor.

"Hahaha!"

"Your Excellency is leading the reform, but you are using your talents in the wrong place."

"Zhou Du, this bunch of thieves!"

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang naturally took advantage of the situation and took out his anger on Zhou Du who was outside the imperial city.

"A pack of dogs dared to rebel against their master!"

With a few kinds of grain as his trump cards, he began to sprint towards bottom with his already limited patience.

Zhao Zheng's reluctant strategy of making friends began to turn from fake to real.
