Zhu Changluo treated Chen Zhenlong very well. He not only accompanied him personally, but also let him sit beside him. This undoubtedly declared Chen Zhenlong's status in Xishan Imperial Village.

In this regard, the people in Xishan Imperial Village and the noble families invited by Xishan Imperial Village today were only envious and had no other thoughts.

After all, even if Chen Zhenlong does not have such credit, he is qualified to be treated like this based on the achievements made by his son Chen Jinglun.

"Your Highness, I am afraid. My achievements today are actually the grace of your highness, and I dare not take credit."

Chen Zhenlong is also very sensible. Such great contributions and favors did not confuse him in his eyes, and he became fluttering.

He still humbly gave all the credit to Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo looked at Chen Zhenlong's appearance, and Zhu Changluo also liked Chen Zhenlong's sensible personality very much.

Zhu Changluo said: "I won't mention these today. I am happy today. Today I am the one who wants to celebrate your achievements!"

Zhu Changluo's domineering momentum suppressed the audience, and he was so happy.

When Xiao Ruxun was escorting these boxes to Xishan Imperial Village, Zhu Changluo had already ordered people to open a few boxes and take a look.

When he saw the corn and potatoes in the box, as well as other plant seeds that he could not name, Zhu Changluo was in a good mood.

There is a sweet potato Xishan Imperial House, but the staple food plan for sweet potato is still very strong.

First of all, the sweet potatoes of this era are actually not very good.

Without systematic cultivation and years of optimal breeding, the sweet potatoes of this era are not sweet at all, and the taste is not very good. There are also many aging fibers inside the sweet potatoes, which taste toothy. These various problems

Zhu Changluo had no way to solve the problem.

After all, he is not a professional biological botanist. It is already very good that he can know so many grain crops that the Ming Dynasty does not have.

So, what Zhu Changluo can do now is to try his best to give professional things to professionals.

The professional person is Chen Zhenlong's son Chen Jinglun and his old assistant Zhang Erhe. This Zhang Erhe is Zhang Laoer, the old farmer who planted melons for Zhu Changluo. Later, Zhu Changluo named him Zhang Erhe because he had good melons.

Chen Jinglun is a natural person who is interested in agricultural science. Without Zhu Changluo's excessive interference, he can devote himself to the research of these crops day and night.

At the same time, Zhu Changluo also vigorously developed and explored agricultural talents. With Chen Zhenlong systematically summarizing the laws of agriculture, this is also the reason why Xishan Huangzhuang has such a huge achievement.

Under the guidance of Zhu Changluo, Xishan Huangzhuang has gradually established some relatively scientific systematic research, although these research is still relatively simple.

However, even so, the achievements they have made are much better than those of previous people who have worked behind closed doors.

There was no shortage of agricultural experts and inventors in ancient history. However, even if these agricultural experts and inventors have written works, they were just written as scholars. In fact, these achievements were just that they were idle.

Just a part-time hobby.

In terms of subsequent talent training and talent accumulation, the ancients did a very poor job.

In addition to the long-standing classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, they have been introducing new research and annotations.

Almost all other disciplines are wandering back and forth on the verge of being cut off from inheritance.

This also makes scientific and technological progress in ancient Chinese civilization always have flash-like achievements and figures, but it has never been further deduced based on inheritance.

This is undoubtedly a huge loss and blow to science that always attaches importance to the foundation and coherence!

But now it's different.

Now, with Zhu Changluo's strong support and intervention, Xishan Huangzhuang first established Xishan Technology Research Institute, which specifically attracted a group of people with basic skills to enter the institute to display their talents and educate students.

Then, he split the Xishan Technology Research Institute and established the Xishan Academy, Xishan Institute of Technology and Xishan Institute of Physics, further subdividing their current scientific and technological achievements.

Zhu Changluo believes that as long as he gives him another ten or twenty years of work, he can fundamentally reverse the current view of people on craftsmen.

At that time, no one will despise the identity of craftsmen or the status of workers, and no one will call them the lowest rank.

At that time, there will definitely be many people who worship them, respect them, learn from them, and take them as their examples!

If it really reaches this point.

Whether the Ming Dynasty will move towards autocracy with more concentrated power or towards relatively free democracy in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely stand at the top of this world.

The texts and culture of the Ming Dynasty can still influence the world and promote the world to move forward.

"Mr. Chen, you have a good son! Gu really didn't expect Gu would be so lucky and would be assisted by Mr. Chen and his son at the same time. With you in the Ming Dynasty, it is a blessing for the country and the blessing for the father!"

Zhu Changluo's praise for Chen Zhenlong really never stopped for a moment.

"The seeds you brought back are thousands of times more than gold and ten thousand times more than silver! The Westerners are vulgar. When they arrived in Dongzhou, they only knew how to rob the yellow and white things in Dongzhou. In the end, these yellow and white things must be bought into my Ming Dynasty.

But Mr. Chen was able to resist the temptation and bring the most precious place in Dongzhou back to the Ming Dynasty. His noble character of treating money as dirt, which made the lofty amaze!”

Zhu Changluo's voice was loud, and almost everyone present heard it.

Especially when they heard that there were already Westerners in Dongzhou, and the gold and silver that Westerners robbed in Dongzhou were actually spent on Daming. When they bought silk and porcelain, the expression of such a man suddenly became

It became more exciting.

They have always done these businesses. Who are the nobles and families present? Who doesn’t have a few unmelted Western-Japanese silver coins in their houses as ornaments?

They don’t understand the seeds brought back by Chen Zhenlong, but they understand the gold and silver!

With gold and silver in your hands, what kind of good things can’t be bought?

Therefore, for a moment, everyone was looking forward to the distant East Continent.

Originally, they thought that after Chen Zhenlong brought back the Dongzhou seeds, the value of Dongzhou would be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually talked about gold and silver in Dongzhou!

"Is Your Highness Dongzhou really so rich?"

Zhu Chunchen, the prince of the Duke of Chengguo, asked.

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhu Chunchen, who was about the same age as him. Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Every child is, what is this? I don't know how rich Dongzhou is. However, I know that the Westerners are in Haiden County every year.

The transaction of the Maritime Bureau has several million taels of silver. Western barbarians are small countries, and small countries are already barren. How can there be so much gold and silver in barren areas? From this, I inferred that I thought they had obtained it in Dongzhou.

After a huge amount of wealth, I bought it in my Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Changluo's words made all the noble families present shine. Now they all want the court to feel that the Korean war is over and return the ship to them. They also want to go to Dongzhou to plunder wealth.

.

Zhu Changluo looked at the glitter in their eyes and knew what they were thinking.

Zhu Changluo continued: "In fact, when it comes to gold and silver, there is also a piece of news about Japan that the frontline spies learned from the Japanese pirates. Although Japan is small, it has mines! Otherwise, Japan would not have launched wars against North Korea one after another.

. According to reliable information, the Japanese pirates have abundant silver mines, and it is this huge silver mine that supports the Japanese pirates' ambitions! After the Korean War ended, Gu intended to act on behalf of the heavens, save the Japanese people from water and fire, and send troops to the island of Japan.

I just don’t know what the government and the public think about this? Gu was very worried that Gu would be called the warlike lord.”

After saying that, Zhu Changluo drank a glass of wine and no longer looked at the reactions of these people. He continued to pull Chen Zhenlong to reminisce about the past two years and listened to Chen Zhenlong telling the story of him in Dongzhou.

Zhu Changluo's words were like a seed, planted in the hearts of these people. As for what kind of flowers they can bloom in the future, it depends on Zhu Changluo's subsequent methods.

Zhu Changluo has already begun to plan people who sneak into the island of Japan and secretly promote the news that the Japanese silver mines are everywhere.

I believe that in the near future, merchant ships traveling to and from Japan will bring these rumors back as truth.

At that time, Zhu Changluo can use public opinion to control the dominance and continue to maintain the battle against the Japanese.

In fact, it is not a rumor to say that Japan is rich in silver. Japan is located in an earthquake zone, and every earthquake activity will bring out a large number of underground minerals to the ground, and silver is one of them.

However, although these silvers are rich in minerals, according to the current smelting and extraction methods, it is no different from the legendary spell of turning stones into gold. For the current world, the silver in Japan is almost impossible to mine.

of.

Therefore, for those who really put their treasures on the Japanese silver mine in the future, they can only ask for more blessings. Pray for the rapid improvement of smelting technology!

Otherwise, when they arrived in Japan, they would see piles of black volcanic stones.
