First Minister Section 597
For example, on this day, Zhu Xiongying stared at two morning glories of different colors in a daze.
After Zhang Ximeng approached, Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but said: "Sir, sir...Look, this one is dark in color, and this one is light in color. The two flowers are the same except for the color."
Zhang Ximeng looked at it, and sure enough, he couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, your observation is very correct, it's really interesting."
"Why is that?" Zhu Xiongying asked curiously.
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing, "I don't know either! Maybe something is leading... Are you interested in finding out the answer?"
Zhu Xiongying squatted on the ground, looked at it carefully, then nodded vigorously, "I will work hard."
From this day on, Zhu Xiongying really took it seriously, and began to observe carefully... starting from the morning glory, to other flowers, plants, and crops in the field.
He will not let go of kidney beans, broad beans, and peas.
It takes a long time to look at it often.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost wanted to cry but had no tears. He finally stopped farming and managed to live back. What should we do?
It's just that compared to Lao Zhu's depression, Zhang Ximeng saw Zhu Xiongying's talent.
After chatting with the little guy for a while, he tried to let Zhu Xiongying learn to observe and record.
For example, morning glory, in a manor, at least three or four colors can be found.
There are purple ones, pink ones, white ones, and dark blue ones... in different situations, but they all look basically the same.
What is the force that dominates the flower color of plants?
Zhu Xiongying said: "Sir, could it be opened casually? Just whatever color you want, what color is it?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile, "Maybe, but we have to be sure."
"How to be sure?"
"We collect the seeds, write down the color of the flowers, and plant them on the ground next year. We'll know when they bloom again."
Zhu Xiongying listened carefully, the little guy thought about it for a long time, and finally understood what Zhang Ximeng meant, and couldn't help clapping his hands.
The little guy became very serious and focused.He would call Lao Zhu and search everywhere. He recorded the colors of the flowers, and when the seeds matured, he took them off and put them in bags.
Label it and put it away like a baby.
The little guy also repeatedly told Zhu Yuanzhang not to lose it to him, and to plant it next year. He needs to know what it is that makes the colors of these flowers different.
At first, Lao Zhu just took it as a child's joke and didn't care.
But gradually, Lao Zhu realized the problem.
Because it’s not just the color of the flowers that are different. For example, some of the rice plants grow long and have many ears, while others have few and sparse... The same land, the water and fertilizer conditions should be similar, but why the size of the rice ears? no the same?
Does it mean that if you always choose big ears of rice as seeds, you can grow bigger and bigger ears of rice and produce more rice?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly trembled all over, and his whole body seemed extremely excited. If this is the case, he found a high-yielding rice seed, which would be a great achievement!
Don't look at Zhang Ximeng who is more concerned about foreign development, hoping to occupy more land and produce more food.But it is so easy to open up to the outside world!
If there is another way to increase production, that would be a good thing!
Since having this idea, Zhu Yuanzhang has been more active than Zhu Xiongying.
This pair of grandparents and grandchildren would run out of the city whenever they had the chance, busy and recorded together, and the bags of seeds became their treasures.
The two people were dozens of years apart, Zhu Xiongying could barely express himself, and he was soft-spoken, but he was with Lao Zhu, chatting for a long time.
God knows where they have so many common languages!
Zhang Ximeng, the only one who knew this well, was very happy.
I really need to find something for Lao Zhu. If he can really find out the genetic law and breed high-yield rice, I believe that in the annals of later generations, not only Hongwu Emperor, but also the name of an agronomist will be enough for Lao Zhu to be widely praised by people.
As for Zhu Xiongying, he can not only strengthen his body but also learn some useful knowledge, why not do it!
Zhang Ximeng was naturally supportive, but in some people's eyes, it was His Majesty who was not doing his job properly, not only not doing his job properly, but also spoiling the emperor and grandson.
But His Majesty can't be wrong, that is, there are traitors around him.
But the problem is that beside Lao Zhu, it is Grand Master Zhang.
Could this treacherous minister be Zhang Ximeng?
Although some people think so, they dare not say it.
It's just that someone found Zhu Biao silently, and talked about this with His Royal Highness, you should persuade your father to take good care of the child, but don't play around...
Faced with this situation, Zhu Biao was helpless.
He didn't even understand what the father and son were trying to do, so how could he persuade him?
However, Zhu Biao still bravely revealed the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Lao Zhu heard this, he sneered very bluntly.
"Fool! Food is the foundation of a country. If it's not a big deal, there's nothing bigger." Old Zhu said bluntly, "We're too lazy to kill people now, and we don't have the intention of talking nonsense to them. You go and tell the gang People, don't make trouble for us, or they will be cut down and fattened here!"
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "Father, you mean that you are busy farming in order to produce more productive rice? It's not just playing around!"
"Nonsense! Your father is almost fifty, can he still play around?" Zhu Yuanzhang pouted his beard.
Zhu Biao smiled wryly, "Well, there are indeed many emperors and heroes who, at your age, began to practice alchemy and meditate, trying to achieve immortality."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows in anger, "Get out of here!"
When Lao Zhu lifted it up, he gave Zhu Biao a kick, and Zhu Biao pissed off and ran away.But after another day, Zhu Biao came again, and brought many civil servants over.
"There is nothing else. Farming and producing grain is the foundation of a country... As the emperor, it is needless to say that he is the first to set an example. The important officials of the court cannot be left behind. That Lu Xi, Liu Ren, and Gao Wanjie, you three are going to challenge each other." manure, the others just follow suit."
The faces of the three people whose names were called immediately turned black.
Don't say anything, who made them owe.
As for the others, they wanted to laugh and dared not laugh, for fear of being unlucky.
In this way, more and more high-ranking officials were brought in. After a busy day of work, their backs were sore and their legs ached, and they were covered in sweat.Some are not in good health, and after returning home, they don’t even have the strength to climb into bed.
They have learned the lesson. Most of the time, Zhu Biao is a gentle, courteous and thrifty gentleman.
It's just that the occasional bad taste occurs, which is really deceiving.
Zhu Biao just wanted to say that if he didn't absorb any bad water, wouldn't he learn from Mr. Zhang in vain.
Anyway, the scientific breeding work has already started in Daming, and it is still led by Zhu Yuanzhang and Huangsun. With these two men taking the lead, it is almost certain that something famous will come out.
It's just that when the results can be harvested, it will take time.
But for some, time is running out.
For example, Wang Baobao who retreated into Mobei!
The bitter cold from the extreme north devastated this man's body... Although Wang Baobao is not old yet, his figure has already started to bend, and his temples are covered with gray hair.
Especially on one face, there are ravines and deep wrinkles.
Just like most men on the prairie, after the age of 40, he is irresistibly aging, and he has nothing to do.
Moreover, fighting all the year round left too many hidden diseases on his body.
Legs deformed, knees, fingers, and joints deformed. Every rainy day, or snowstorm, Wang Baobao was in pain. He was so focused that he was much more accurate than the weather forecast.
There is also constant running around, and stomach problems are also very serious.
In recent years, foot disease has occurred from time to time.
With all kinds of situations added to him, Wang Baobao already knew clearly that he would not live for too long.
If he died, it is estimated that Bei Yuan would also disintegrate and disappear.
To keep Bei Yuan, the only chance is to defeat Daming.
As long as there is a victory, it can inspire people's hearts. Men in the grassland are not afraid of hardships. As long as they can see hope, no matter how much suffering there is, they can survive!
I really want to defeat Daming once in my lifetime, just once!
Perhaps Wang Baobao's prayer moved Changshengtian, and finally came the news that the three vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and the three sons of Zhu Yuanzhang led the army and horses, set off from Hetao, and went straight to Helin to kill!
"Okay! The fighter plane is finally here!" Wang Baobao stood up excitedly, suddenly felt pain in his toes, and couldn't help but sat down again, cold sweat dripping down his forehead, the gout is really terrible...
Chapter 828 Study hard at Ming Dynasty
"Brother, are you okay!"
A delicate woman whispered beside Wang Baobao.
This woman is much younger than Wang Baobao, tall and tall, exuding the heroic spirit of a woman on horseback, completely different from the women of the Han family in the Central Plains.
But when it comes to appearance, there is not much to brag about, it can only be said that it is mediocre.
After all, living in the Mobei Grassland, the weather is bitterly cold for half a year, and the wind is harsh, mixed with wind and sand blowing.
The two faces are flushed, covered with freckles, and there are some cracks, which look a bit like pear skin.
This woman is Wang Baobao's beloved little sister.
She was actually born in the Central Plains. Before she was eight years old, she was in the Han area, where she lived in prosperity and wealth. She had no worries about food and drink.
It's just that with Yuan Ting's defeat, she had to flee to the grassland.
Later, Wang Baobao was defeated in Shanxi and fled to Helin. After several twists and turns, he reunited with his sister.
When he saw the girl again, her attire also changed, she ate mutton, drank mare's milk, rode a bareback horse, and galloped freely. At that moment, Wang Baobao almost wanted to cry.
Because many people say that Wang Baobao is a Mongolian, but this is not accurate.
As mentioned earlier, it has been a long time since Chahan Timur moved to Henan, and his living habits have changed a lot.
Moreover, when he started his family, he also relied on the armed forces of the landlords and fought against Liu Futong before he climbed to a high position step by step.
If Chahan was a pure Mongolian nobleman, the battle between him and Polo Timur would have been a different story.
In other words, if there hadn't been the Red Scarf Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Baobao's generation might have changed their habits... Like his younger sister, it is probably not a problem to marry a Han husband.
All in all, this is all conjecture.
Because of this red scarf uprising and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Baobao retreated to Mobei with the last dignity of the Yuan court.
At this moment, Wang Baobao's younger sister is more Mongolian than a Mongolian woman!
This is true including Wang Baobao.
He looked around and thought of a good marriage, which is to use his sister to marry Timur!
This Timur is very good, and he is conquering east and west to expand his troops.
Wang Baobao also planned to expand his territory westward.
If he could join forces with Timur in the Hezhong area, and attack and retreat, there would be enough room for all of them, and they could even unite to attack the Ming army in the Western Regions and drive Feng Guosheng out of the Western Regions.
In this way, it can almost stand against Daming.
If you look at the map, you can see it very clearly.
Daming occupied Monan and won Liaodong, which means cutting off the development space in the east of Beiyuan.
Afterwards Jin Wang Zhu Wei took Hetao, Feng Guosheng, Fu Youde and others opened up the Hexi Corridor and entered the Western Regions.From east to south, outflank the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The situation Wang Baobao was facing was almost overwhelming and extremely dangerous.
But he still didn't give up, Wang Baobao's plan was to stick to He Lin.
Because this was once the core of the Mongolian Empire, and it was the starting point for Genghis Khan to issue orders and conquer the south.
As long as He Lin is in hand, he can continue to use the banner of the Yuan Dynasty and claim to be the orthodox Mongol Empire.
Even if the Iron Pot Emperor has descended and He Lin is still there, there is still a banner to appeal to the hearts of the people.
Of course, having a banner is not enough, you must have strength.
So Wang Baobao looked westward, and he planned to win over the original Mongolian Khanates, and use the power of these princes to continue to deal with Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Timur, who rose in the Hezhong area, is a force that Wang Baobao cares about very much.
Hezhong can roughly be regarded as Central Asia. Taking this place will block the advance path of the Ming army in the Western Regions, and there may be another battle of Talas.
The Tang Dynasty stopped here, and the Ming Dynasty may not be able to make it past.
Zhang Ximeng likes to emphasize history and draw strength from the experience of his ancestors.
