Zhu Yuanzhang in the cellar

Chapter 63 Old Zhu asks Little Zhu to help Big Zhu (Subscription Request)

"Are you really going to help my brother investigate Hu Weiyong?"

At almost twelve o'clock, Zhu Biao returned to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunfeng and Zhu Di were also going to bed.

Both people on the second floor took a shower.

When Zhu Yunfeng finished taking a shower, Zhu Di did not return to the room, but lay on the sofa.

Seeing him coming out of the toilet, Zhu Di couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Yunfeng wiped his freshly blow-dried hair with a towel and said helplessly, "I want to refuse, but it's hard for me to refuse."

"why?"

Zhu Di wondered, "Since you don't want to participate, just tell my brother clearly."

"Of course I am thinking about you, my old ancestor."

Zhu Yunfeng rolled his eyes at Zhu Di.

You can't tell him that Zhu Biao is a man who will not abandon his master. If he wants to make a living in the Ming Dynasty, he has to make friends with Zhu Biao, or even become his ally.

After all, Old Zhu is too moody, and no one can say for sure whether he will turn against him one day. He must find a big force to rely on.

And the only ones who could check and balance Zhu in the Ming Dynasty were Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

Therefore, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao were both the objects of his flattery, or it cannot be said to be flattery, but rather filial piety.

These two are elders from more than 20 generations of his ancestors. If he respects them well, they will be able to stand by him and withstand the pressure from Old Zhu if he feels threatened and turns against him in the future.

To a certain extent, helping Zhu Biao gain some power was also helping himself. In the future, he might need a queen or a prince's party to counter Zhu's imperial power.

Therefore, some things actually have to be done.

But for Zhu Yunfeng, he was not willing to get involved in the mess of the Ming Dynasty unless it was absolutely necessary.

Making money is the way to go.

But Zhu Di naturally didn't understand the reason, and wondered: "Why is it for me again?"

"You really want to stay in modern times all year round."

Zhu Yunfeng put the towel back on the sink, walked to the computer and put away the downloaded mobile platforms, turned off the computer and said, "You're not going back to Daming anymore?"

"."

Zhu Di was at a loss for a moment.

Modern life is so good that he is a little too happy.

But Daming is his home after all, even if he wants to go back it is easier than visiting his sixth uncle's house next door.

But that was back to the palace.

After he came of age, he would have to go to a fiefdom, so he was naturally worried about his future.

"In history, your brother died of a cold, but things are different now."

Zhu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "Although they don't have ID cards, as long as they have money, they can directly invite experts and professors to their homes. What disease can't be cured? What will you do then?"

You need to register with your ID card when you go to the town hospital, but this is not necessary when we invite experts and professors from the provincial capital.

These days, there is nothing that money can't do.

It only costs tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan to invite an authoritative expert from Xiangya Hospital to do a flying knife.

Spend 500,000 yuan, or 1 million yuan if 500,000 yuan is not enough. Not to mention the cold, which is classified as a cold, even most cancers in the early stages can be cured.

Therefore, Zhu Yunfeng never worried about the life and death of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao.

He continued, "I told you before that your future may be to go overseas to establish a country. But it is not so easy to establish a country overseas. It requires a lot of human and material support, and only the ruler of the Ming Dynasty can do it. When the ancestor is gone, the great uncle will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't please him, what will happen to your future?"

"I"

Zhu Di was stunned.

Yes, it is impossible to be an emperor, so my future cannot be in the modern times.

His father would not allow him to stay in the modern world forever.

Therefore, the only way out might be to go to Beijing to establish a vassal state as in history, and after defeating the Northern Yuan Dynasty, to establish a country overseas.

Without the support of the Ming Dynasty court, how could the establishment of a nation overseas be successful?

From this perspective, the only way to have a future is to cling to the big brother's thigh.

It turns out that the eldest grandson is really thinking about himself.

He really is.

I cried to death.

"Yeah, you figured it out."

Zhu Yunfeng looked at him and said with a smile, "Go to sleep when you have figured it out."

"Ok."

Zhu Di was so fooled that he went to bed obediently.

Zhu Yunfeng packed up his things, put dog food and cat food in Pippi and Dandan’s bowls, changed the water, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang came over to have a free meal.

He attended the morning court at four o'clock in the morning and ended it at six o'clock. After that, he let Zhu Biao take charge of state affairs and came here himself.

Zhu Yunfeng was still sleeping soundly but was woken up by Old Zhu to make breakfast for him.

He had been cursing in a dialect that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand early in the morning, making old Zhu sit on the sofa in the living room with a frown on his face. He wanted to get angry but he couldn't understand what Zhu Yunfeng was saying.

"You keep urging me all day long, like a ghost. I'm going to eat you to death, old bitch."

The prepared noodles with eggs, chopped peppers and stir-fried pork were thrown in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yunfeng rolled his eyes and complained.

Although his daily routine has been adjusted, when he was an author he was used to sleeping until he woke up naturally.

He usually gets eight hours of sleep.

I went to bed around 11 o'clock last night, and at 6 o'clock in the morning I had slept for less than 7 hours. Of course I felt a little unhappy about the lack of sleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite and started to eat with chopsticks.

The three members of the Zhu family ate noodles in silence.

Although it’s not chicken noodle soup, the taste is already great just by simply cooking meat and adding poached eggs.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di didn't like spicy food very much, so they picked out the chopped peppers and enjoyed the spicy taste, and soon drank up even the soup.

"What are your plans for today?"

After burping and putting his chopsticks on the bowl, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yunfeng.

"Go down the mountain and buy some land. You also need to contact seed, pesticide and fertilizer dealers. You are lucky, old man. I asked someone and no one cares how much you buy."

Zhu Yunfeng hadn't finished eating yet. He said as he ate, "Of course, too much is not good. It will attract too much attention. But I can rent 5,000 acres of land and buy 30,000 to 40,000 acres of pesticides, fertilizers and seeds. It should be no problem. You can find someone to take over later."

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How long will it take to be done?"

"The materials for the several thousand mu of experimental fields will be ready for you within a month. It will not delay your spring farming pilot next year. We will be able to operate in large quantities in the second half of next year."

Zhu Yunfeng said, "There's nothing wrong with me anyway, I think you should worry about your side."

"My side?"

"Yes, in ancient times, farmers depended on the weather for their livelihood and maintained inertial thinking for a long time. They would pay more attention to the empiricism passed down by their ancestors. They would not necessarily accept new seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides if they had not tried them themselves." "Well, that's the truth, but I will naturally find a way."

"any solution?"

"As long as the initial test fields show good results, I will send people to post notices everywhere to spread the word. When the people see that it can really increase grain production, they will naturally be willing to do so."

Zhu Yuanzhang said after some hesitation.

Zhu Yunfeng was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would use tough means to promote it, but he didn't expect that he would choose to present facts and evidence. This was beyond his expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, although Zhu Yuanzhang was bloodthirsty, he was not a mindless killer. He had logic behind his killings.

Including the massacre of the Huaixi military merit group in the later period, all was to pave the way for future generations.

If Zhu Biao had not died, he would most likely not have chosen to use the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case as a breakthrough to kill so many people.

Therefore, this is enough to show that Lao Zhu has his own considerations when doing things.

Lao Zhu was born a cowherd and his ancestors were all farmers, so he naturally understood farmers' thoughts.

Therefore, he knew that using tough means to promote the product would only backfire, and the right way was to bring out the real stuff and make it known to the people.

It seems that I have misunderstood my ancestors because of stereotypes in the past.

Perhaps our ancestor did not have such a long-term vision, but he had his own way of doing things, especially when it came to the peasant class, which he was more familiar with.

"Well, that's no problem."

Zhu Yunfeng nodded and said, "As long as it is promoted, the grain production can be increased. I downloaded five methods of making fertilizers from scratch on the Internet and saved them on my phone. When the time comes, our ancestors can arrange for local governments to help promote them."

"Row."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew the importance of modern fertilizers, so he naturally attached great importance to this aspect.

"Pesticides are more troublesome. In addition to pesticides, you also need a sprayer. I saw my grandfather use one when I was a child, and my family has one, but I'm afraid it won't be popular in Daming."

Zhu Yunfeng thought for a while and said, "If we encounter insect pests, it will still be a big problem. I can only transport them to Daming like ants moving their houses. You must be mentally prepared for this. It may take a long time before Daming has pesticides to use."

"It's okay, just follow your idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not push too hard. He knew that he knew too little about modern things, so he left professional matters to professionals.

"Okay, I'll go down the mountain."

Zhu Yunfeng finished his noodles, packed up and prepared to leave.

It's not even seven o'clock yet, and the town's agricultural office is not open at all, but he is now a heavyweight.

The town has arranged for the director of the Agriculture Office to liaise with him. Once a call is made, the director has to rush over to see him immediately, no matter if he is sleeping or having a baby with his wife.

Who makes him a big investor respected by the county magistrate?
"Yunfeng, do you think the fifth brother can replace the second brother and take charge of Xi'an?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

"Look for yourself."

Zhu Yunfeng took out his phone, searched for Zhu Su's information, pointed at it and said, "It says that Zhu Su has military talent, but he just can't display it. Although this is the view of historian Mr. Zhang Haipeng, I don't know whether it is true or not. After all, Zhu Su never displayed his military ability in his life. But historians can't make random comments. It should be a conclusion drawn from in-depth research. Besides, how do you know if Zhu Su has the ability to replace Zhu Chong and sit in Xi'an if you don't try?"

"Well"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's see if the fifth brother has the ability. The second brother has indeed gone too far and is worse than a beast. Tomorrow I will sentence his second concubine Deng to death and summon him back to Beijing to be imprisoned."

"It seems that Grandpa Taibo has already told this matter to the ancestor. Do you also want me to participate in the Hu Weiyong case?"

Zhu Yunfeng felt a little helpless.

To be honest.

He really didn't want to get involved in the Hu Weiyong case.

Regardless of whether Hu Weiyong is a good person or a bad person, is it really possible for an ordinary modern citizen like him to get involved in a case of this magnitude?

Although he was just an agent, with Zhu Yuanzhang's support, it was almost impossible for Hu Weiyong to counterattack and threaten him.

But the problem is that there are so many things involved. A wrong decision, an inadvertent oversight, or an ill-considered idea may lead to the death of some innocent people.

Therefore, in this situation, he was reluctant to intervene rashly.

After all, he persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to hand the matter over to Zhu Biao, which has saved many people. Originally, 30,000 to 40,000 people might have died, but now it is a lot to implicate 1,000 people.

But if other innocent people died because of him, it would be hard for him to justify it.

"Do you have concerns?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I'm just afraid that I'm not capable enough, and it would be bad if I hurt innocent people."

Zhu Yunfeng said honestly.

"This is also a test for you. You are a descendant of the Zhu family. Coming to the Ming Dynasty can give you power and let you help formulate policies. However, if you can't even handle the Hu Weiyong case, then you are just talking big and talking on paper."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

But the problem is that I didn’t want to come to your Ming Dynasty.

If I made a lot of money and became a wealthy boss in modern times, would it be necessary for me to go to ancient times to suffer?
Zhu Yunfeng complained in his heart.

But he didn't dare say it.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang has obviously changed a lot.

It is hoped that he can participate in the politics of the Ming Dynasty and change the national policies formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang that are detrimental to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhu Yunfeng discovered with embarrassment that it seemed that he was the one who helped Old Zhu change his mind.

It's a mistake to shoot yourself in the foot.

Therefore, if we back down at this time, it would obviously be just empty talk and paper talk.

It seems that in the future, while making money, I will have to go to the Ming Dynasty to help Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yunfeng thought to himself.

He added, "I don't have any experience in this area. Modern people's knowledge is one thing, but it's definitely not that easy to actually do it. But I will help Master Taibo analyze it. Modern people still have a lot of advantages in dialectical analysis. Tell Master Taibo about the pros and cons, and let him decide on the specifics. Anyway, I definitely don't have the guts to kill anyone."

"Well, that's fine. I will personally supervise this aspect. If you can analyze it thoroughly, it will be considered that you have done your best. I will not force you to really confiscate your property and exterminate your clan."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained calm, but he was very satisfied with Zhu Yunfeng's attitude.

He didn't want Zhu Yunfeng to really interfere, because he wanted to train Zhu Biao instead of Zhu Yunfeng.

Zhu Yunfeng only needs to be a military advisor and give some advice, but he cannot be allowed to truly hold real power, so Zhu Yunfeng's attitude is the one he is most satisfied with.

"Okay, I'll go do my work first. When Grandpa Taibo makes a decision, come back to me and I'll analyze the situation for him."

Zhu Yunfeng naturally had no idea what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, so he put away the dishes and went to the kitchen, then went down the mountain to do his work.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the sofa on the first floor. On the table were Zhu Yunfeng's mobile phone and tablet computer, on which he had downloaded data last night. There was WIFI, which could be used.

He picked up a Huawei mobile phone, but did not open it. Instead, he fumbled around in his hand and looked towards the direction of the main room outside.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Yunfeng went out, closed the door and locked it with the key.

Not long after, the sound of a car roaring was heard outside.

The Pipi dog was locked in the door, and after Zhu Yunfeng left, he ran to Zhu Yuanzhang's feet again.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, touched the dog's head, and looked at the locked door of the main hall outside.

If Yunfeng does not threaten the position of his own descendants, he will be an excellent descendant of the royal family.

I hope he can understand the current situation in the future and never dream of the supreme position.
