Chapter 261: Sapphire Causes Trouble(1/2)

Large amounts of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are constantly piled together.

The officials from the Ministry of Works stared intently, not daring to relax at all. Even the patrolling soldiers moved much faster.

From the conversations of officials from the Ministry of Industry, these soldiers also knew very well that these crops and grains could produce thousands of kilograms per mu.

Therefore, it must not be ignored at all.

"Grandpa, when these high-yielding grain varieties are promoted across the country, many things will be possible."

Looking at the harvest in front of her, Zhu Ying sighed.

Although there are no chemical fertilizers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn require far less land than rice and wheat.

There is no need to benchmark against future generations too much, because the current population of the entire Ming Dynasty is only over 60 million people registered.

Even during the Qing Dynasty, there were 40 million people.

Relying on the sweet potato, it also became known as the sweet potato era.

What's more, these are three major types of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn.

"In two years' time, when the people of Ming Dynasty will be able to eat a mouthful of food, even if there is a slight famine, it will not have much impact, and the threat on the grassland will be eliminated."

"By the way, Timur's grandson, that one is called Pi Heima. Is there any news about the eldest grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

According to the information sent by the Jin Yiwei, Timur is currently attacking the Golden Horde, and the situation on the grasslands is also very serious.

At this time of the year, scattered teams on the grasslands have begun to appear on the Ming border, breaking through the Ming border to fight the autumn wind.

"The people under Sun'er's command have already come into contact with Pi'erma Heima, and the relationship is currently going well. Many situations regarding Timur's side are being continuously recorded."

"Pierma Heima is, after all, Timur's biological grandson. He is very familiar with Timur's current situation. It shouldn't take long to fully understand the situation on Timur's side."

"Judging from the recent feedback, although Timur has surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, his wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed."

"These people have no credibility at all. They must have been eyeing our Ming Dynasty for a long time. This time Pirma Heima came here, probably with the instructions of Timur, to check the reality of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Ying analyzed directly and said.

Recently, information about Timur's situation has begun to arrive one after another.

After drinking a few sips of wine, the guy from Pierma Heima didn't have the sense of confidentiality like a diplomatic envoy at all, and he said whatever he asked.

Some things related to the military are explained in detail for fear that you may not know them clearly enough.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he smiled and nodded.

He has always been very confident when it comes to his grandson doing things.

Currently, he has carefully read the first chapter of the memorials that Dasun is handling, but almost not the last ones.

The main reason was that Da Sun's way of handling things was almost very fair, and even some of the handling methods made Zhu Yuanzhang sigh.

"In that case, how will Dasun prepare to deal with him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Ying pondered slightly and said: "Currently, Pirma Heima is very proud of his own army. In his eyes, it seems that Timur's army is the strongest army in the world."

"If you want to eliminate Timur's ambitions for the Ming Dynasty and reduce friction on the border, the best way is to let you, Pierma Heima, see the might of the Ming Dynasty's military."

"Only when he understands that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers cannot be resisted by Timur's army, he will be afraid."

"These fears will be brought to Timur through Pirma Heima."

In this regard, Zhu Ying has already made a good plan, and it will be enough to just give him the entire military parade when the time comes.

For this, you have to frighten him into being stunned.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was very satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang has obviously always been very interested in things like promoting our country's prestige.

This can be seen in the tribute.

Soon, all the grain seeds were harvested.

Half of these grain seeds will first be distributed to the people around the capital for planting.

The other half will be used as storage, and most of it will be kept in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry for backup.

A small part will be sent to Zhu Ju of the Agricultural School for him to study.

These specific matters will naturally be handled by officials from the Ministry of Industry.

...

Ever since Zhu Ying was declared the grandson and crown prince, the status of Liang Guogong Lan Yu has been rising with the tide.

The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army has great power, but in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army in the capital, there is actually not much going on every day and it is very leisurely.

They are said to command the army of the whole country, but in fact only generals who go out to train troops have more things to do.

Those who stayed in the capital had nothing to do except going to court every day.

Lan Yu had recently gone to the morning court and was often invited to drink by the generals of the Governor's Mansion.

Basically, there are various invitations from the general every day. Zhu Ying's identity is exposed, Lan Yu's status becomes stable again, and naturally there are many people fawning over him.

Sapphire is a good drinker, and now that she is so proud, how can she refuse? She is drunk almost all day long.

Today is another drinking party.

It is the bureau formed by Lan Yu's former subordinate Pian Bi and the governor Qianshi Ma Jun.

Most of those who participated were members of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Most of these people had been under Lan Yu's command, or in other words, under Chang Yuchun's command.

As the saying goes, what kind of general leads what kind of soldiers.

Chang Yuchun's temper was notoriously bad in the army, so naturally the tempers of the soldiers who followed him were not much better.

However, these hot-tempered people were still very brave in fighting, and they also made a lot of achievements. Now that the Ming Dynasty was founded, they can be regarded as rich and noble.

"Xie Xiong, what's going on with you boy today? The general is here. What do you mean by making a sour face?"

"I think your skin is itchy, kid. Why don't you give the General a drink quickly?"

Among the many people, everyone was very happy, except Xie Xiong, who seemed to be drinking alone.

Such behavior is somewhat out of place in the eyes of many people.

As today's host, Ma Jun naturally didn't want to make Lan Yu unhappy, so he quickly scolded.

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Xie Xiong raised his glass and looked at Lan Yu from afar, saying in a muffled voice: "General, it's the fault of the last general. The last general will punish himself with three drinks. Please forgive me, general. Don't be bad because of the last general."

Interested."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then filled it up himself and drank two more glasses.

Under such circumstances, anyone can see that Xie Xiong has something hidden in his heart.

Lan Yu looked at it, holding the wine in the glass, but did not drink it.

Instead, he said to Xie Xiong: "You kid, you have been following me since you were sixteen years old. If something happens, you can't tell me yet."

"I still remember that when you went to the desert with me, the brothers almost had to stay there, but even then, you didn't bother me twice."

"Why, now that something has happened, you can't remember that my elder brother is here?"

Lan Yu's words immediately aroused everyone's agreement.

"That's right, now that eldest brother has spoken, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly."

"Xie Xiong, what's the matter? The general asked you directly, and you still want to hide it."

"Looking at the kid, I might be holding my breath in my mother-in-law's place, so I don't dare to say anything, haha!!"

When Xie Xiong heard this, he suddenly became angry and said to the person who just spoke: "Your uncle, I can still feed and house my mother-in-law. You kid, watch your mouth. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful with me."

Such a bad temper."

After listening to this, the man was not afraid at all, nor was he angry because of Xie Xiong's words. He said jokingly: "Hey, you are so impatient. Since it has nothing to do with the mother-in-law, that's right."

"Or do you think that the brothers here can't settle anything for you."

"Besides, even if the brothers can't help, the general is still here. Although this capital is big, I'm afraid there is nothing that the general can't handle."

Hearing this, Xie Xiong was a little hesitant. He wanted to say something, but he was still a little hesitant.

"You're like a bitch, you're going out, don't say he's my Lan Yu's brother, and don't tell others that you were with me, I can't afford to embarrass this person."

She was already a bit drunk, but when she saw Xie Xiong being so hesitant, Lan Yu immediately felt unhappy and scolded him directly.

After hearing this, Xie Xiong also knew that he had to say it, so he said directly: "General, forgive me, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that the relationship between this is indeed a bit big, and I don't want the general to do it for the sake of

In the end, this little thing will make you unhappy."

The person next to him said: "You kid, who are you looking down on? I just made it clear that in this capital, can there be anything that the general is worried about?"

When Xie Xiong heard this, he glared at the speaker, and then said to Lan Yu: "General, I'm ashamed to say that. This matter has something to do with Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs."

"I have a brother under my command who is serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I don't know where he offended Shangshu Zhan. Now my brother's brother has been imprisoned."
