Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

There was heavy snowfall, and the sky and the earth were completely white, shrouded in ice and snow. The cold wind blows, snowflakes fall, and the cold air is pressing, making people feel the biting cold.

Pedestrians passed by in a hurry on the road, wearing thick cotton clothes and hunching their necks to resist the cold wind. The houses and trees in the distance are covered with heavy snow.

In this cold winter day, people hide in their houses one after another, warm themselves around the stove, and chat with their families.

As the New Year approaches, the court finally rests and officials can finally take a rest, so teahouses and restaurants are very popular during the New Year season.

The Zhu family also gathered in the garden on the top floor of Tianji Tower, which was as warm as spring.

Enjoying barbecue while admiring the heavy snow in the sky is also a unique mood.

Zhu Shizhen was roasting corn with his own hands. There were sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fire, which he brought from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This time, King Xiang followed his request and sent a rune warship to transport more than a dozen ships of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes from America.

“Dad, what is this?”Zhu Yuanzhang on the right asked

“smell good.”Zhu Jiaran on the left sniffed his nose.

Zhu Shizhen looked around. He had a son and a daughter, but why does it always feel weird?

“This is corn.”Zhu Shizhen introduced,”It can be used to make grain and feed pigs. It can produce one thousand kilograms per year without irrigation.”

“ah? Is it what Xia Yuanji said?”Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked

“And this, sweet potatoes and potatoes, with an annual output of more than 3,000 kilograms, can be used as food and vegetables. Of course, they can also be fed to pigs, such as you. Zhu Shizhen pointed to the fire and said,”If you promote these things next year, many fewer people will go hungry in the Ming Dynasty.””””Zero Zero Seven””Great, this is good stuff. Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes lit up,”If we had these when we were young, Dad, you wouldn’t have starved to death.””

“ah? Dad, are you starving to death?”Zhu Jiaran was shocked

“But no, Jiaran, before you at that time, my father didn’t know how to practice, he only knew how to farm. The whole family had no food, so he starved to death.”Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands.

Bang!

Zhu Yuanzhang waved and slapped:”Can you say something auspicious, Jiaran, don’t listen to your brother’s nonsense.”

He handed the roasted corn to Zhu Jiaran.

Zhu Jiaran took the corn, broke it into two pieces, handed one piece to Zhu Yuanzhang, and winked:”Brother, here you go.”

“Hahaha, Jiaran is still kind to us. Zhu

Yuanzhang smiled from ear to ear, took the corn and ate it,”It’s very sweet. It would be great if I had these when I was a child.””

Zhu Shizhen looked at the two brothers and sisters, hey, they have a pretty good relationship.

……

It was the first time for the Zhu family to eat corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they all tasted very delicious.

A large family gathered together to eat and drink. This had never happened before, and only the Supreme Emperor summoned it. This kind of barbecue mode did not have so many rules.

The juniors were making noise in the garden. Although Zhu Jiaran was the youngest, he was the oldest. He was directing Zhu Gaochi there and Zhu Yunxi was building a snowman.

“Little fat man, can you do it?”

“Auntie, don’t just talk, do it yourself”

“Hey, little fat man, you don’t listen to your aunt, do you? Be careful I spank you.”

Zhu Gaochi was very helpless. He had never seen such a arrogant person.

Zhu Yunxi patted him on the shoulder and looked obedient. This little aunt did not even dare to offend the emperor.

Zhu Jiaran said like a young adult:”Why, you are not convinced. ? When I got angry, I even beat your father, and your father had to call me aunt.

Zhu Gaochi spread his hands and said,”I am convinced, the most convinced.””

A few people started to continue building snowmen, and they wanted to build a big one.

“Yunxi, why didn’t your brother come? The one with the fishy smell.”Zhu Jiaran asked

“Auntie, are you talking about Zhu Yunwen? He just listens to his mother.”Zhu Yunxi said

“Next time I go to the East Palace, I will clean it up with my mother.” Zhu Jiaran said

“Forget it, we don’t offend the river, that’s good.”Zhu Yunxi spread his hands

“Auntie, I heard that you succeeded in building the foundation? Zhu Gaochi blinked and said,”You are already building a foundation at the age of two. You are amazing.””

“Come on, just wait, I will surpass you in a few years.”Zhu Jiaran is very arrogant

“Then you have to work hard, my eldest brother is already a Nascent Soul.”Zhu Yunxi said

“Zhu Xiongying? Zhu Jiaran turned around and shouted,”Zhu Xiongying, come here!” Zhu

Xiongying, who was eating sweet potatoes, ran over quickly.

Zhu Jiaran put his hands on his hips and said,”I heard you are quite good. Let’s compete?””

“Not great, you are not as great as my sister-in-law.

Zhu Xiongying quickly shook his head and clasped his fists,”My sister-in-law, you are extremely talented and the most powerful. I am willing to give you the upper hand.””

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yunxi rolled their eyes in contempt.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at him and thought to himself, you guys know nothing. This is the daughter of the Supreme Emperor. You can’t afford to offend her.

……

The children were making trouble in the garden.

The adults ate around the table, and of course the women were led by Queen Ma at another table.

The men of the Zhu family gathered around a table, drinking and talking and bragging.

Zhu Shizhen glanced over and said:”The Ming Dynasty’s territory is getting bigger and bigger, and it can start global trade. The conditions are met.”

“merchant? We don’t trust them. Zhu

Yuanzhang snorted and shook his head,”Now that there is such good food, of course we should promote farming.””

Bang!”

Zhu Shizhen slapped his face and glared:”You know what the heck, farming has to be heavy, but commerce must also be opened, otherwise, all your taxes will come from farmers. Don’t you care about the people?” Then charge them taxes?”

“We…this…have been doing this for thousands of years. Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said,”Don’t throw away the things belonging to our ancestors.””

“No, trade was very developed in the Yuan Dynasty.”Zhu Shizhen said,”During Kublai Khan’s time, the compound had a vast territory and had the conditions for global trade. Most of it was a global trade center.”

He is right about this. The Yuan Dynasty perfected the post system, and the trade routes were very developed.

Posts were set up in all the vassal countries, and they were dotted and connected. Not only in the Yuan Dynasty, but also in the vassal states, post stations were set up, and they were fully functional. Envoys came and went.

This also completely opened up the trade routes, and the caravans traveled smoothly, so that”when they came from all directions, they had buildings, they had tribute tents, and they had food and drink when they were hungry and thirsty.

” Commerce was also very developed. For this reason, the Yuan Dynasty set up a special Municipal Shipping Department. In addition to managing maritime trade, the Municipal

Shipping Department even provided official trade, and recruited merchants to go to sea to trade. The profits were divided between officials and merchants. divided into

“If there are more taxes on the trade side, wouldn’t it be possible to exempt farmers from more taxes? Zhu Shizhen said.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned thoughtfully.

Zhu Shizhen continued:”If you really want to reduce the burden on farmers, you have to seek change. This matter is very complicated. Only by improving the productivity of the entire society can we solve it and trade can be achieved.” With the money, you can build schools. There are any schools, including schools for cultivating immortals.”

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to understand what he heard.

Zhu Shizhen couldn’t understand either. He himself was a dabbler. However, he believed that someone in the Ming Dynasty would understand. As long as education develops, there will be no shortage of smart people.

“Lao Twelve has already set up health clinics all over Nanyang according to your wishes, grandpa, and started doing business there.” Zhu Di said

“If the Daming Trading Company is reorganized, then the money there will far exceed taxes. Zhu Shizhen spread his hands and said,”If you have money, you can buy grain from overseas vassals.””

“Dad, you said too much at once, and we can’t digest it all at once.”Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead

“Let the Ministry of Household Affairs come up with the entire plan, and then you can take a look at it. I think Xia Yuanji and the others have very bright minds.” Zhu Shizhen smiled.

He was just proposing directions. As for specific measures, he didn’t think he could compare with these ancients. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

……

While we were chatting here, there was a sound of fighting in the garden.

“cry? Why are you crying? The manly women chirped.”Zhu Jiaran was reprimanding people with his hands on his hips. The little man was full of momentum.

And the one lying on the ground crying was Zhu Gaosui, the third son of King Yan.

Almost all the descendants of the Zhu family studied in Tianji Tower, but Zhu Shizhen paid less attention to specific matters. Something happened[]

Zhu Shizhen looked at it and saw a black line.

He raised his hand and called Zhu Jiaran over, with a dark face:”Zhu Jiaran! You are so young, why do you pretend to be a big sister? Although you are older, they are older than you, so be honest.”

Xu Miaoyun also called her son Ti slipped over and glared angrily:”Gao Sui, why don’t you kowtow to my sister-in-law to apologize? I am an elder, do you know how to respect your elders? Besides, why are you crying?”

Zhu Di on the side wanted to slap his son away.

Zhu Gaosui cried and whined:”My little aunt, she beat me. 0″

“stop! Zhu Jiaran put his hands on his hips and said,”If you cry again, I will beat you every time I see you.””

Zhu Gaosui stopped immediately and did not dare to cry.

Everyone saw it and couldn’t help but be happy.

“Jiaran, please stand up for me.”Zhu Shizhen glared.

The daughter in his heart was gentle and elegant, how could she be a fierce elder sister?

“Dad, don’t scare Jiaran.”Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Zhu Jiaran,”Jiaran, brother will take you to play.”

“Well, let’s go buy candied haws.”Zhu Jiaran ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Jiaran’s little hand and flew away.

Zhu Shizhen, with a black line in his head, said to Princess Fuli behind him:”This can’t be done. You have to educate your daughter well. She won’t become a little princess in the future. sister?”

“What is a little girl?”Princess Fu Li glared,”I think it’s good. Oh, Jiaran has a brother who hurts, so I feel relieved.”

“Isn’t it just my brother who is in pain? That is the treasure of our Zhu family.”Queen Ma smiled.

“Soon, there will be a new baby. Then I will see who the emperor likes the most.”Princess Fu Li touched Chu Fangyu’s big belly.

Chu Fangyu looked shy.

……

Zhu Shizhen came to the teahouse to tell stories.

He has never made any breakthrough in understanding the power of all living beings.

“New grains are basking in the sun, orange tangerines are hanging high, fishermen are wearing coir raincoats, old farmers are carrying hoes, women are picking mulberries, young children are tending cows, and old women are pounding clothes! The armor is clanking, the sword energy is like frost, the drums are beating like thunder, the cavalry is protruding, arrows are raining down, the smoke is everywhere, and corpses are everywhere!”

Perhaps you have to see the various situations in the world before you can truly understand the power of all living beings.

Storytelling is just a part of seeing the various situations in the world.

“The first generation of Confucian saints opened up Xu Xiaonian’s whole body to clear up acupuncture points, which was no less difficult than Zhang Julu in Liyang to rectify water transportation. Zhu Shizhen took a sip of tea and said,”Everyone, this ends today’s story. If you want to know what happened, please listen to the explanation in the next chapter.”

What he was talking about recently was”In the Snow” that he had watched in his previous life. It was very popular. The teahouse was packed with people, and some even lay down on the stairs.

Although everyone was still unfinished, they all knew that it would end when the Heavenly Master said it was over, and would never add any more. Besides

, who is the Heavenly Master? Can you still order him?

However, this Supreme Emperor has no airs, and the people in the teahouse are not afraid, and they are brave enough to make some jokes.

“Your Majesty, where are you going to play with the money you earned from storytelling this time? I heard that there is a new oiran in Yihongyuan. The shopkeeper specially kept it for you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, how about we go to Yihongyuan? I treat guests, and the oiran’s expenses are also covered by me.”

Everyone started to make noises. They all knew about the old master going to the brothel.

Zhu Shizhen glanced at him and said angrily:”Old Du 0.2, don’t ruin my reputation by making fun of me. I have a wife, why would I go to a place like that?

Du Yuanwai had a black line on his face and spread his hands:”Your Majesty, who knows about you going to a brothel to snatch an oiran?””

“That’s an illusion!” Zhu Shizhen stared.

Because he found Princess Fuli, holding Zhu Jiaran’s hand, in the crowd.

After leaving the teahouse, he quickly caught up with Princess Fuli and Zhu Jiaran, and smiled:”How did you come to hear about the book?”

“Dad, it’s so embarrassing, you still want to go to a brothel?”

Zhu Jiaran pointed at the girls coming and going on the street and said,”Whoever you like, can you just take it back?”

Zhu Zhizhen held her forehead.

Princess Fu Li took a mouthful of old blood and grabbed Zhu Jiaran’s ear:”Hey, you little heartless thing, what do you mean? Do you think your father and daughter-in-law are too few?”

“Mom, men have this kind of behavior. Dogs can’t change their behavior.” Zhu Jiaran said

“Hey, where did you learn these words?”Zhu Shizhen covered her face

“Sister-in-law, when a sister-in-law scolds her elder brother, this is what she scolds. Zhu Jiaran said,”Mom, dad has done the math. Look, how many wives does my eldest brother have?” Too many to count”

“Can that be the same? Your eldest brother is the emperor. Princess Fuli said,”It’s normal for the emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards.””

“Is my father still the emperor? Should he be in the Sixth Palace and the Ninth Courtyard?”Zhu Jiaran blinked.

“Do you want to piss me off to death? Princess Fu Li sighed,”It’s over. This child won’t marry my mother. If I have to have another child, this daughter will be useless.””

Zhu Shizhen held back her laughter and put her arms around her flexible waist.
