Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 111 The grandson is not afraid of them!
"What kind of person do you think your fourth uncle is?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying smiled, and said casually: "It's okay, I can deal with it."

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a frown, and said angrily: "Stinky boy, don't play sloppy with us, tell the truth!"

Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Fourth Uncle is a general!"

"Uh……"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's all?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled wryly, and said: "Grandpa, I have only met Fourth Uncle twice, how can we know what kind of person he is? Besides, Fourth Uncle is a person who hides very deeply, and it is easy for people not to see through."

"That's right, the fourth child, he has become more serious over the years."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly, and said: "He has been in Beiping for these years, and he has made a lot of contributions. The year before last, when he recruited Naier Buhua, the third son reported him to us, saying that he did not obey the restraint of the third son. , take a risk, and later your father pleaded for mercy, so we will not pursue it."

"After your father left, among your uncles, the second king of Jin and Yan is the most intelligent, but also the most difficult to tame, especially the king of Yan. Don't look at his politeness, but what is he thinking in his heart? Easy to say."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiongying nodded in agreement.

In fact, it's not that the old man didn't worry about King Yan and the kings being too powerful.

Therefore, according to the historical trajectory, after Zhu Yunqi came to power, the old man left a will before his death: "The kings who come to the country, do not go to Beijing. The civil and military officials of the kingdom are subject to the imperial court's restraint!"

But Zhu Yunqi, that trash, forcibly played the good hand of cards that the old man left him.

"Grandpa, grandson heard that Fourth Uncle has an aide named Yao Guangxiao beside him. This person is named Daoyan, and he is the number one outstanding figure in Buddhism."

Zhu Xiongying said tentatively.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said, "How do you know?"

Zhu Xiongying replied calmly: "Fourth Uncle wants to know me, so of course I want to get to know Fourth Uncle."

"Stinky boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed with a smile, but didn't say anything more.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "According to Sun'er's understanding, although Monk Daoyan is a monk, he is not a person who sticks to the Buddhist lineage. On the contrary, he has studied in famous mountains for many years, and he is not only familiar with Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. , and also dabbled in physiognomy and military strategists."

"Originally, the eminent monk served the king only for chanting sutras. But Dao Yan has always had great ambitions. The reason why he applied for the recruitment was to take this opportunity to find a master of great strategy and assist him in building a great cause, so as to achieve a good reputation. As early as Before being selected, he had heard that King Yan had the best talent among the kings, so he specifically asked Zongli to recommend him to King Yan."

"In the early years, Yuan Gong, a fortune-teller, commented on him: He is a strange monk! Triangular eye sockets, like a sick tiger, natural instinct, fond of killing, he is a person like Liu Bingzhong! And Yao Guangxiao was overjoyed after hearing this."

"And when he was enlisted in his early years, he passed Dantu Beigu Mountain, and left a poem, which said: Qiao Lu's battle blood has dried up in the past few years, and the fireworks are still half-withered. The moon is cold. There is no tide in the river to connect the iron urn, and Noda has a road to the Jintan. Where is the emperor Xiaoliang's business now? The young people in Beigu are tired of watching!"

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly squinted eyes flashed murderous intent.

What he hated the most were those who threatened the Zhu family.

No matter how much credit you have made, and no matter how much intelligence you have, as long as he feels threatened, he will kill them all.

When Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying again, his expression was normal, and he said, "Dasun, how do you think this kind of monstrous monk should be dealt with?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "If I deal with it, I'm afraid Fourth Uncle will feel bad!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and said: "Now you are the king, and he is the minister. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, let alone a small staff member?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled softly: "Grandpa, grandson is not afraid, it can't be a demon monk, or fourth uncle, grandson is not afraid of them!"

"They haven't done anything bad now. If my grandson dealt with them rashly, wouldn't it be a shame? Besides, the fourth uncle has been guarding the border all these years. If you have a grudge in your heart, you won't be able to obey your grandson in the future!"

"Grandson feels that a person like Fourth Uncle will not bow his head if he is forced to do so, so grandson will treat him with the attitude he should have. If one day he really violates the laws of the country, grandson will never tolerate it." he!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Da Sun, do you know what we saw?"

Zhu Xiongying was startled, and shook his head in confusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said, "We, we saw when we were young!"

"I remember that when we just married your grandma, your grandma was also worried, worried that Mr. Guo's son would harm us, so we told your grandma that we should treat him better, closer and more obedient in the future, and we must always stand on the sidelines. Li'er, no matter what happens in the future, we are justified, do you understand what we mean?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Grandson understands!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "But you, you are more conceited than when we were younger! We were not as bold as you are when we were young!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "It's not conceit, it's self-confidence!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, you are right, it is self-confidence!"

"Grandpa, come here quickly and watch this!"

Zhu Xiongying waved to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked over with a smile, looked at the green leaves on the ground, and said, "What is this?"

Zhu Xiongying laughed and said, "Sweet potato!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "It's that... the ginseng we gave you. You said it was a sweet potato, and you said it was not easy. You have grown it? But what about sweet potatoes?"

"Not urgent."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Sweet potato, it's underground!"

"This... grows in the soil?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say much, but found a hoe from the side, and started digging up, while Zhu Yuanzhang watched curiously.

The soil here is already soft, and after a while, Zhu Xiongying basically dug up the roots of the sweet potatoes.

Only then did he grab the root of the sweet potato and pull it up vigorously. As the soil was turned over, the sweet potato was gradually exposed. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, a whole sweet potato with roots and stems was pulled out.

Zhu Xiongying held the root of the sweet potato and lifted it up. Under the root, there were pieces of stems, that is, sweet potatoes. The big ones were the size of an adult's fist, and the small ones were as thick as an arm. There were six sweet potatoes.

"Grandpa, look, this seedling is pretty good. There are six pieces of knots underneath, and it probably weighs about five or six catties!" Zhu Xiongying said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is quite big!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was dirty, touched the sweet potato, and said with a smile.

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

These are carefully cultivated by him. Whether it is the land or the climate, Zhu Xiongying gives the best conditions as much as possible, so the sweet potatoes grow quite well.

From obtaining sweet potatoes at the beginning, to planting, germination, transplanting, and then to flowering and fruiting...Zhu Xiongying followed all the way, as if watching his own children grow up, with a special feeling in his heart.

"Grandpa, this sweet potato can produce more than 5 catties of sweet potatoes, and one acre of sweet potatoes should be less than thirty stones, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I didn't expect the output of this thing to be quite high."

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the high yield of this sweet potato that my grandson was so excited when he saw it. When we were in Stone Village just now, didn't you tell me that Daming is most afraid of natural disasters?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a puzzled expression on his face. He couldn't understand Zhu Xiongying's words. What does this thing have to do with natural disasters?
Could it be that……

Without waiting for him to think about it, Zhu Xiongying said: "This sweet potato can actually replace part of the food. In times of famine, it can even be temporarily used as the staple food to help the people tide over difficulties!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked straight at Zhu Xiongying: "You said this thing can be used as food?!"

"Ah."

Zhu Xiongying nodded heavily: "Let's go, Grandpa, let's go back to the house. I'll ask Lao Xu to cook sweet potato porridge for you. Let's chat while eating."

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were fiery.

The Ming Dynasty was an agricultural empire, with rice in the south and wheat in the north. Today, the output of rice is only about one stone, and that of wheat is almost two stones. But this sweet potato can reach thirty stones!

What is this concept?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but gasped, and the pace of his feet quickened unconsciously. He really wanted to see what this sweet potato tasted like.

Even if it doesn't taste good, it can fill your stomach!
At this time, it was almost dark outside, and it was getting colder as night fell.

After leaving the greenhouse, a gust of cold wind rushed towards his face, making Zhu Yuanzhang shiver suddenly.

Zhu Xiongying quickly helped him up: "Grandpa, slow down!"

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Grandpa is the emperor on horseback. He has fought all his life, so he still needs your help when he walks? Why don't you hurry up and get us some sweet potato porridge, let us have a taste!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled, but still supported the old man while carrying the sweet potato.

He knew that the old man was not old at heart, more precisely, he would not accept his old age.

Soon.

The two entered the house, and in the house, Lao Xu had already set up a pot of charcoal fire.

Zhu Xiongying helped the old man to the front of the charcoal fire to drive away the cold.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and roasted it by the charcoal fire for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became ruddy a lot.

Zhu Xiongying was fine, he was physically strong, but he was not as afraid of the cold as the elderly.

"Grandpa, you wait here. My grandson is going to cook sweet potato porridge for you. Tonight, we will only eat sweet potato porridge and dried radishes. How about it?"

"Okay, let's enjoy this dried radish, hehe, I just don't know how this sweet potato porridge is!"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, his eyes full of anticipation...
