Unfortunately, sweet potatoes were an exotic crop. It was already the end of the Ming Dynasty when they were introduced to China, and they were not promoted.
On the other hand, the Manchu Dynasty benefited from the widespread planting of sweet potatoes. Even after experiencing many uprisings by the Ming Dynasty survivors, they were still suppressed.
Now that he had obtained this sweet potato vine, it would be of great use.
Even if his father were to be implicated in an accident, the sweet potato vine would be a golden card that could save him from death!
He did as he thought.
Zhu Wu brought the sweet potato seeds to the backyard.
If Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his eyes would definitely widen in disbelief.
Because there was a yard full of vegetables.
More importantly, he had never seen the vegetables here before.
But to Zhu Wu, it was very familiar.
Tomatoes, peanuts, bitter gourd, sunflowers…
These vegetables were all seeds that he had signed in for. After three years of careful cultivation, they had already borne many fruits.
As long as it was slightly processed, it could be made into a delicious dish.
He even wanted to give it to his cheapskate dad to taste at night.
No good fortune…
Zhu Wu sighed and continued to plant the sweet potato vines.
Zhu Wu was very careful with his planting because those vegetables were just vegetables, but these sweet potatoes were food for survival.
Their importance could not be mentioned in the same breath.
By the time he was done, it was already evening. Zhu Wu looked up at the darkening sky and suddenly remembered,""Oh right, I forgot to ask where dad is going.”
Where did Zhu Yuanzhang go? Naturally, he returned to the palace.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in front of a table, carefully reading a memorial. Beside him, Li Shan Chang was carefully serving him. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's serious expression, he sighed in his heart.
The imperial court was really going to change.
As soon as he returned, Zhu Yuanzhang sent out the Rearguard Commandery to investigate Zhu Wu's background.
One had to know that the Rearguard Commandery was Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted guard. If there were any secret matters, he would ask them to handle them. Following that, he even ordered Li Shan Chang to write down the matters of the inner court for him to read carefully.
After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion." Who would have thought that we would meet such a great talent when we were traveling casually?”
"It's all because of Your Majesty's great fortune. God bless my Ming Dynasty.”Li Shan Zhang laughed.
"Hehe, you've worked hard today.”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"To be able to follow Your Majesty and obtain such a great talent has also allowed this lowly subject to gain knowledge.”Li Shan Zhang laughed.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in his hand again and suddenly said with an unchanging expression,"If it weren't for this great talent, it would be troublesome to deal with Hu Weiyong. He has many followers in the court, but many officials have been keeping secrets from him.”
At this point, he suddenly looked at Lee Shan Chang and said,""Benevolence, you can be considered his benefactor, right?”
"I don't dare!"
Li Shan Chang was shocked and immediately knelt down. His body was shaking and his face was ashen.
Today, he had been worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would suspect him because he had promoted Hu Weiyong.
During the day, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything. When he came back, he was still chatting and laughing with him. He was in a good mood and even asked him to write a memorial.
He thought that this matter would be over just like that.
Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would never forget!
He just kept it in his heart and didn't say it.
But now, he suddenly mentioned it. What did he mean?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lee Shan Chang's mind, but he did not dare to think too deeply. He could only bury his head deep in the ground and did not dare to raise it.
"Shan Chang, what are you doing? Get up quickly.”
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up and personally helped Li Shan Chang up.
Li Shan Chang was terrified.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said," Hehe, good sir, I know what you're worried about. It's nothing more than that old thing between you and Hu Weiyong. It's just a promotion. What's the big deal?"”
"I won't forget the fact that you went through life and death with me!”
"Your Majesty…"
Li Shan Chang's eyes were filled with tears." I'm sure that Your Majesty will handle Hu Weiyong's matter well. Only then will I not let down Your Majesty's grace!"”
"Alright, alright. You've worked hard today. Rest in the palace tonight and go back tomorrow.”
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Li Shan Chang hurriedly thanked him. Letting a foreign official stay in the palace was a great courtesy to show his closeness.
Just as Li Shanzhang followed the eunuch out, Zhu Yuanzhang was flipping through the dossier when he suddenly said without raising his head,"Oh right, Kindness."
"Your Majesty." Lee Shan Chang quickly turned around.
"Be careful. Don't let anyone know about this. It won't be good if it gets out.”
"I understand!"
Lee Shan Chang quickly said.
On the way to the resting place, Lee Shan Chang looked like he was grateful for the kindness he had received. However, when he reached the resting place and closed the door, his expression suddenly disappeared. His face turned pale, revealing the fear of surviving a disaster.
He seemed to have collapsed and could barely stand. He poured himself a cup of tea with difficulty.
His clothes were drenched in cold sweat.
……………
After Li Shanzhang left, Zhu Yuanzhang was still sitting at the table to handle official business. However, he had not been there for a day, and his official business had accumulated to a table.
At his peak, Zhu Yuanzhang had handled more than 300 official duties in a day. If it weren't for his military life and his extraordinary energy, ordinary emperors would have died of exhaustion.
At this moment, a report was sent over by the eunuch.
Opening it, Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought.
It was a report from the Rearguard Commandery, and everything about Zhu Wu was written on it. However, the information about his father was a little vague.
It was only said that the place where his father was doing business had been plagued by a plague in the past few days. Many people had died, and it was very likely that they had already died. His life and death were still being investigated.
