Chapter 96 Do you call this the Immortal Prescription for Increasing Yield?

The secret room next door.

Zhu Di asked in a deep voice: "Have you written down everything you need?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have already written it all down!" Guo Jing and Chai Che said quickly.

"Read it to me once, and then inform General Tong after confirming it is correct."

"Two piles of coke, two coke ovens, two porcelain vats, two porcelain tubes, and some green vitriol."

"Prepare ten copies and send them to the prison immediately!"

Chai Che bowed and said yes, and immediately took the list to the secret room to find Tong Xin, the commander of the Zhongyi Guard, to make preparations.

The necessary items were settled, but Zhu Di didn't look relaxed.

"Father?"

Zhu Gaochi asked with concern: "Is this inappropriate?"

Zhu Di waved his hand to show that he was not worried. He sighed and shook his head, turned his eyes to the wall, and said slowly and in a distant tone: "It's not inappropriate."

"My son, I don't understand."

Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I always feel that this is a bit sloppy? Can it be possible to refine the products of the fairy prescription and increase the fertility of farmland just by using these things?"

"Of course what Father is thinking makes sense." Zhu Gaochi first agreed and then said, "Actually, I also think it's a bit sloppy, but I haven't tried it before. What Mr. Jiang said is probably the simplest and easiest way to achieve it. Since Father

If it seems sloppy, if the production is successful, I will order someone to improve the alchemy tools."

Zhu Gaochi took advantage of the situation and asked: "Father, do you think it is better to call the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, or to call Master Zhang?"

Zhu Di was slightly startled, apparently not remembering that there was another option.

"Zhang Tianshi is in Nanjing?"

"Yes, after hearing the news of His Majesty's enthronement, Tianshi Zhang rushed over from Xianquan Jingshe to pay his respects. It may be because the Taoist sect was somewhat suppressed in the past few years."

This is a vague statement. In fact, during the Jianwen Dynasty, under the deception of Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, both Buddhism and Taoism were severely suppressed.

The so-called Heavenly Master Zhang, named Zhang Yuchu, is a Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi sect of this generation, and one of the most erudite among the Heavenly Masters of the past generations. He is known as a master of Taoism.

Song Lian, a great Confucian in the early Ming Dynasty and the author of "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang", once praised Zhang Tianshi as "a wise scholar with great literature, and he is known as the Confucian of Immortals", which shows his knowledge.

Zhang Yuchu became the 43rd generation Heavenly Master in the 10th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty. In the 13th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang personally received the edict of "Zhengyijiao Tao combined with Wuwei Chanzu Guangfan Da Zhenren" and took charge of all Taoist affairs in the world.

Zhu Di never thought there was anything wrong with recruiting a powerful heavenly master to make elixirs. Without him, Zhu Di Fengtian Jingnan, the Taoist sect would never be able to hold its head high in the Jianwen Dynasty.

"Then go and recruit Zhang Tianshi and ask him to bring his alchemy guys and stuff with him,"

Guo Jing was also sent out to deliver the message.

Only Zhu Di and his son were left in the secret room.

Zhu Di was silent for a while, and finally let out a long breath.

"Today's rebellion by the King of Valley makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhu Gaochi stretched out his arm and held his father's rough hand with his fat palm: "Father, don't worry, the other vassal kings know how to advance and retreat."

"I always have a feeling."

Zhu Di spoke softly.

Zhu Gaochi listened carefully to his father's words.

"It's like, above the court, these people always think that I am a arrogant warrior, a thief who usurps the throne with a sword."

"The more I feel like this, the more I want to make some achievements, not to prove it to these civil servants, but to prove it to Qingshi and your grandpa."

"Of course I have something in my heart that I want to do."

"Crush the vassal, move the capital, revise the code, sail to the West, and conquer Mobei!"

"But it wasn't until I met Jiang Xinghuo that I suddenly realized that I had missed one thing, one thing that would allow me to meet your grandpa with peace of mind and confidence a hundred years from now."

Zhu Gaochi listened slowly and seemed to vaguely guess the answer his father wanted to say.

"The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and farming is the largest!"

"This is what your grandpa Huang said himself!"

"Let the people of the world cultivate their fields well, have enough to eat, and be less bothered by things other than farming. The imperial court should provide them with more things that will help them farm."

"Can Jianwen do this?!"

Zhu Gaochi replied affirmatively: "It's impossible. Jianwen grew up in a deep palace and was raised in the hands of women. How can he understand the hardships of the people and the sufferings of the people? As soon as he became the emperor, he was deceived by a group of civil servants with gentry origins to reduce or reduce Su Songjiahu's salary.

The land tax also abolished the ancestral teaching of Taizu that Songjiang people could not be the chief officials of the household department."

Zhu Gaochi added: "This is trying desperately to help the gentry squeeze the people. How can it be possible?"

"That's it."

Zhu Di stood up wearing armor and took his son's hand, then held his son's shoulders with both hands, bent slightly and looked at the big boy sitting on the chair, and said seriously.

"But with Mr. Jiang's guidance, I can do it!"

"Working with farmers on their acres relieves them of the pain of corvee labor, and precious silver notes relieve the common people of the pain of paying taxes and being exploited. And Mr. Jiang's magical recipe can help farmers all over the world increase their production and income, and fill their bellies!"

"After completing these three things, even if I go to the underworld and see Grandpa Qin, I can stand up and tell him that I am worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because only if I become the emperor, the people of the world will not be safe.

The suffering of these three mountains!"

Zhu Gaochi was in awe: "My father cares about the world, and my sons and ministers admire him very much!"

"So, you are not really planning to start a fire in the prison, are you?"

When Zhu Gaoxu appeared in the empty courtyard carrying a small charcoal-burning coke oven weighing hundreds of kilograms with one hand, Jiang Xinghuo naturally felt some suspicion.

"I asked you to write it down first and let the old Taoist priest try it out and make the finished product to see the effect of fertilization. I didn't let you start refining it on the spot! This is a prison sentence!"

"It's all the same." Zhu Gaoxu threw the coke oven beside the tree pit without blushing or gasping for breath. "It just so happens that there is a pit for piled coke."

"What do you mean it's the same? We are prisoners!"

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "What kind of prisoners are not prisoners? Are powerful people called prisoners when they are in prison? That is called choosing a place to be protected and recuperating."

Jiang Xinghuo was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't figure it out at first, but if he thought about it, if he converted the noble children of the Duke level to

Forget it, it’s better not to convert it.

In short, according to the news he sees in the modern world.

Even if "Sun Mouguo", the son of an ordinary local official, committed a crime and was able to "invent and create" in prison, then the second generation of the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty could create a chemical fertilizer in prison.

, also very reasonable, right?

Yes, in fact Jiang Xinghuo hid a little bit of selfishness, just a little bit.

Jiang Xinghuo had not planned to create such a physical object before, but instead lectured on political affairs every day, because no matter how extravagant the lectures were, it would still be bragging in prison and would not have much actual impact on the world.

After all, the people I was lecturing to were only two second-generation nobles, and they were not the real people in power of the Ming Empire. After they knew about "shared labor to the mother" and "silver treasure banknotes", could they implement it? I guess it would have to wait.

Only when they grew up to become powerful officials in the Ming Empire did they have a chance.

As for Japan's "Iwami Ginzan" and "Sado Jinshan", that is far away after they are released from prison.

However, the meaning of any cross-era object is different from that of lectures.

Because things actually exist and are right in front of you.

And if small-scale production of chemical fertilizers can be produced, these two second-generation nobles will probably have their sentences reduced or even exempted from prison as long as they are handed over to the court.

Human hearts are made of flesh!

Gao Yu, the bearded man, spent a lot of money to find someone twice to save himself from prison; Mr. Cao also helped him when he was down and rescued him on the boat after he fell into the water. He was also imprisoned because he was hanged.

Entered the imperial edict.

Although all these things went against Jiang Xinghuo's subjective wishes, objectively, they were just helping him.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo is also ready to do his part to help these two brothers.

Time passed quickly, and in just one meal, under the special instructions of Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yuan Gong, who was invited by the Jinyiwei to be responsible for healing people, drove in with a cart of strange alchemy tools.

courtyard.

Soon, all the tools were ready.

Jiang Xinghuo has become completely numb to the behavior of the privileged class treating the prison as their own home.

If you have power, you can really do whatever you want.

Looking at the smoke outlet of the coke oven in front of him, it was blocked by the porcelain tube that Yuan Gong removed from the mercury refining equipment and led into the porcelain jar where the green vitriol was placed.

"Start refining?" Yuan Gong asked.

"Start testing." Jiang Xinghuo corrected.
