Everything in Qiongzhou Prefecture could be said to have opened a new perspective for Zhu Di. It allowed him to see a completely different world. He did not see the backwardness of Qiongzhou Prefecture in his imagination. At this time, he only saw prosperity and prosperity. It was even richer than the Great Ming Dynasty.
This was especially true for the fields and the green rice.
Paddy fields appeared near the bay.
It was the same in every gathering place.
The range of rice fields was extremely large.
Even Zhu Di was speechless.
Only Ma He frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Ma He?"
As Zhu Di laughed, he noticed Ma He's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, the wheat will be ripe in early May, and then the rice will be transplanted in June. This is a law. It is already October, but it is obvious that Your Highness King Qiong has just transplanted the rice.”
Ma He frowned.
As a farmer, he was very familiar with the cultivation of crops.
The current scene made him frown.
"October?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Di did not react for the time being and asked subconsciously.
"Your Highness, planting in October means that it will soon be winter. I'm afraid the rice won't be able to ripen by then.”
Ma He said with a bitter smile.
"This!"
Zhu Di finally reacted at this moment and could not help but open his mouth wide.
Then, he instantly looked at Zhu Bai.
Facing Zhu Di's gaze, Zhu Bai was very calm.
"Fourth Brother, can you sense anything different about the weather here?”
Zhu Bai said with a smile.
"The weather?"
Zhu Di frowned and looked even more confused.
"Your Highness King Qiong, are you saying that this place will be hotter?”
Ma He muttered to himself for a moment before speaking with doubt.
"Yes, there's no winter here. The average weather here is no worse than the summer in Beiping. The coldest time is only autumn. There's no winter here. Therefore, the crops here don't need to consider whether they can grow or not. The farmland here can even produce three crops a year.”
Zhu Bai said with a faint smile.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the two people present could no longer remain calm.
This included Zhu Di.
"Twelfth brother, are you serious?”
Zhu Di's voice was trembling. At this moment, his emotions were even higher than when he saw Zhu Bai whaling.
What did it mean to cook three times a year?
Moreover, Zhu Di did not forget the dense farmland that seemed endless along the way.
The huge farmland covered the entire area under Zhu Bai's rule.
It was hard to imagine how much farmland there was.
And if this three-year-ripening mechanism was added, what kind of level of grain could the entire Zhu Bai rule produce in the next year?
Currently, the entire Ming Dynasty was in a state of chaos.
After more than 20 years of development, the south had basically recovered.
However, the north was still extremely desolate.
The Mengyuan had been around for nearly a hundred years. The damage it had brought to this land and a race was unimaginable.
Among them, food was undoubtedly the most lacking existence.
This was even clearer after Zhu Di moved to Beiping.
Sometimes, for the sake of the people, he had to slow down or give up the opportunity to go out to war.
"Of course!"
"Here, it's very simple to cook three times a year.”
Zhu Bai nodded and spoke with certainty.
He naturally knew why Zhu Di was shocked.
Even in Guangzhou, it was already good enough to produce two crops a year. It was almost unimaginable to produce three crops a year.
And along the way, there were countless farmlands.
As Zhu Bai developed, the exploitation of farmland became the most important thing.
Now, the number of farmlands he owned had already exceeded 3,000.
It could be said that along the way, it was almost a continuous stretch.
When Zhu Di saw this, he was shocked when he thought about the three crops in a year.
Hearing Zhu Bai's words of certainty, Zhu Di and the other man were speechless for a long time. Their minds were rumbling.
Zhu Bai didn't disturb him.
Instead, he waited quietly.
A moment later.
Zhu Di gradually recovered from his shock and let out a long sigh.
"Twelfth brother, this time, you have done a great service for Imperial Father.”
Zhu Di said with a sigh, and his expression was also extremely sorrowful.
Only he knew how much food the entire Ming Dynasty lacked.
The northern expedition required a large amount of food, and the western expedition also required a large amount of food.
The reconstruction of the north also required a large amount of food.
One had to know that the current Meng Yuan had not perished, but had only fled north. They had to be completely dealt with in order to ensure the long-term stability of Great Ming.
As Meng Yuan who had unified the world, both Old Zhu and Zhu Di knew how terrifying Northern Yuan was.
This kind of terror made them not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
But sometimes, the lack of food and fodder also forced them to restrain their thoughts and actions.
Even though Zhu Bai might not be able to completely solve Great Ming's grain problem, it was enough to alleviate some of it.
And to Da Ming, even if it was just a little relief, it was still extremely important.
"Fourth Brother, you're being too serious!"
Zhu Bai smiled and waved his hand.
"No, this isn't serious!"
"Twelfth brother, how much provisions do we have here?”
"After a year, how much rations can we mobilize?”
Zhu Di shook his head. Then, his expression changed. He spoke solemnly and did not beat around the bush. Instead, he spoke directly.
"This!"
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Bai became slightly focused.
During their conversation, he had already expected it.
In other words, he did not think much of providing Da Ming with some provisions.
Or rather, it was inevitable.
After all, he was the Great Ming Dynasty's prince.
He had to take Da Ming's situation into consideration.
However, he had not expected his fourth brother to be so decisive.
He fell into deep thought as he listened to this person's words.
He was considering how to give it to her. In other words, he obtained the existence he needed.
