Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Zhu Xiongying with a smile on his face.
There was no chance for him to flatter Zhu Xiongying.
After all, Old Zhu had lived for decades.
He could tell what Zhu Xiongying wanted to do at a glance.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying knew that he couldn't escape this time.
Old Zhu still had a lot of eyes and ears!
Now that the Jinyiwei had yet to be established, they could easily grasp Zhu Xiongying's movements.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to wait until Zhu Di completely eradicated the Northern Yuan Royal Court.
Only then did he tell Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it in advance, there was nothing to hide.
"Grandpa, Fourth Uncle did ascend to heaven yesterday.”
"The thing that allowed Fourth Uncle to ascend to heaven was that hot air balloon."
It was a large Kongming Lantern.
Apart from that, his grandson also gave the binoculars to Fourth Uncle.”
Zhu Yuanzhang found it strange.
Why did his grandson give away all the good things he had?
Instead of giving it to him?
Not to mention the Soul Returning Pill, it was used to save Empress Ma.
However, what kind of hot air balloon could ascend to the sky, and what kind of telescope could it be used for?
He actually gave it to Fourth Brother!
Am I that unpopular?
"What is that telescope?"
Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the chair and looked at Zhu Xiongying.
"A telescope, as the name suggests, allows people to see very far away.”
"If a hot air balloon is equipped with binoculars and used on a spy, then it's better to use it on a spy."
What did Grandfather think the scouts in the Northern Territory would find?”
At this point, Zhu Xiongying stopped.
The rest was up to Old Zhu.
Hot air balloon, telescope, Northern Territory, scout.
These few words added together, Old Zhu stroked his beard and thought.
Soon, he came to a realization!
"In recent years, the remnants of Northern Yuan have often harassed the Northern Territory of Ming.”
"And they are good at cavalry combat, they are very fast.”
"Every time I lose, I run away.”
"It is difficult for the soldiers of our Great Ming Dynasty to find traces of him.”
“……”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sat up.
Are you going to wipe out Northern Yuan Royal Court?”
Although Old Zhu had never used these things before.
However, he was someone who had conquered the entire country.
With these things added together, he could quickly figure out what Zhu Xiongying was up to.
If Northern Yuan Royal Court was completely destroyed, then for Da Ming.
It was simply sweeping away the decline of the past fifteen years.
Fifteen years!
Northern Yuan had harassed the Northern Territory for 15 years.
The Ming army had also conducted four northern expeditions, but none of them had been able to find the nest of Northern Yuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang had even thought about how the Ming Dynasty would develop after the Northern Territory became quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he even forgot to ask Zhu Xiongying where these two things came from.
"What a great grandson, what a great saint grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and laughed.
"Our good eldest grandson has really done a good deed for Big Ming.
If we completely eradicate Northern Yuan Royal Court, you will be the first to make the contribution.
Your fourth uncle has also received some credit.”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need to think to know.
After Zhu Di returned to Beiping, he would definitely go to Northern Yuan's lair without stopping.
Once they found it, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy Northern Yuan.
Northern Yuan had just lost a war last year.
I'll take advantage of your illness to kill you.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew this.
Now, as long as they could find the nest of Northern Yuan, they could completely annihilate the enemy.
"No, no, no."
"This should be Grandpa's first contribution," Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.
If it wasn't for Grandfather, how could there be any problems with his grandson?
Back then, grandfather defeated all the forces and unified the world…"
Before Zhu Xiongying could finish, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Alright, alright, don't flatter your Imperial Grandfather.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a kind expression.
The more he looked at the third successor, the more pleasing he was to the eye.
Of course, if Zhu Xiongying could continue to share his worries.
That would be a great blessing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the corn he had just eaten.
Then, he asked,
"By the way, I've tasted your corn. It tastes good.”
"What is the yield per mu?"
Zhu Xiongying had forgotten about this.
He was going to act tough again.
"The corn is not fully ripe yet and is not suitable for preservation. It will take a longer time.
However, even if they harvested it now, it would still be 700 to 800 catties per mu.
If it had been half a month longer, it would have been a scene of a thousand jin.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately lost his composure.
Could this thing really produce 500 kilograms per mu?
This was already twice as much as the rice of the Great Ming Dynasty!
"Xiong Ying, this matter is of great importance. Don't deceive your Imperial Grandfather!”
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and threatened.
"In a month, if the yield of corn per mu is less than 500 kilograms, Xiong Ying will come and see me.”
Zhu Xiongying promised Old Zhu.
Old Zhu waved his hand, signaling Zhu Xiongying to stop talking.
Even if the corn yield did not reach 500 kilograms per mu, Zhu Yuanzhang would not chop off Zhu Xiongying's head.
After all, he was the eldest grandson.
"Then we'll see in a month."
"What about the other two crops?" asked Zhu Yuanzhang.”
"In a month, the potatoes can produce 4000 catties per mu, and the sweet potatoes can produce 6000 catties per mu.”
Zhu Xiong Ying did not hide anything. After all, he was farming in the imperial garden.
It was planted for Old Zhu to see.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe it.
Even now, Zhu Yuanzhang refused to believe that the so-called potatoes and sweet potatoes could produce 6,000 catties per mu.
"Forget it, forget it."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"You can go back first. Don't tell us about the Arabian Nights anymore."
In addition, after the corn ripens, it will be immediately promoted.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang added.
"If that merchant from the Western Regions still has corn seeds, buy them all.”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes!
He had tasted this corn before. It felt full and tasted good.
It could indeed increase Da Ming's grain production by a level!
"Then your grandson will take his leave first."
After Zhu Xiong Ying bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Old Zhu actually didn't ask where the hot air balloon came from!
He had probably forgotten about it because he had too many things to do.
However, Zhu Xiongying was too lazy to make up lies.
……
After coming out of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, a eunuch happened to be hurrying into the hall from outside.
Zhu Xiongying, who had the Unparalleled Physique, stood outside the door.
He could also hear what the eunuch was saying.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Korea requests an audience."
Soon, Old Zhu's voice was heard.
"Let him in."
The eunuch rushed out and prepared to bring the Duke of Korea in.
Coincidentally, he bumped into Zhu Xiongying who was walking out.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, met Zhu Xiong Ying, and it was still considered a rule.
At the very least, he greeted Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiong Ying looked up and nodded at the Duke of Korea.
This made Li Shan Chang very dissatisfied.
Li Shan Chang was the founder of the Ming Dynasty, although he was not one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi.
But Lee Shan Chang was a scholar!
He had also been the Right Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Crown Prince Zhu Biao had to return the greeting politely and call him Duke.
This Zhu Xiong Ying was actually so rude!
However, Lee Shan Chang had lived for decades. He smiled and did not show any dissatisfaction.
The two of them passed by each other.
This scene was seen by the two grandsons behind Lee Shan Chang.
Li Shan Chang's eldest grandson, Li Fang, and Li Shan Chang's youngest grandson, Li Mao.
His eldest grandson was already 18 years old and had yet to find an official position.
His youngest grandson, Li Mao, was only 14 years old this year. He was a head taller than Zhu Xiong Ying.
Lee Shan Chang's two grandsons had witnessed the scene just now.
Although you are the eldest grandson of the Great Ming Emperor, our grandfather is still the Duke!
Former Prime Minister, Founding Minister.
How could an eight-year-old disrespect his grandfather?
However, these two only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
Li Fang was now eighteen years old, but she had heard of Zhu Xiong Ying's reputation as a brat.
He could not afford to offend such a person.
However, Li Mao didn't think too much about it.
He leaned close to Li Fang's ear and whispered,"
"Only he is the eldest grandson of the emperor. Otherwise, how could he be so arrogant and despotic?”
"Watch your words!"
Li Fang quickly stopped her brother from continuing.
"He can't hear you." Li Mao sneered,"
"If he wasn't the eldest grandson of the emperor, he might not be as good as us!”
Zhu Xiongying didn't want to care about these two people at first.
The reason why he was rude to Lee Shan Chang was because Lee Shan Chang was not worth it.
Although Li Shan Chang had made great contributions to Da Ming in the early stages.
However, in Hu Weiyong's case, he made a fatal mistake.
That was betrayal!
This thing absolutely could not exist.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying's unparalleled physique allowed him to hear the whispers of the two.
Especially Li Mao, who had spoken rudely.
He took small steps to Li Mao's side.
The two of them were shocked.
Especially Li Mao, whose legs were trembling.
"He…didn't hear it, did he?"
Li Mao whispered to Li Fang.
Before Li Fang could reply, Zhu Xiong Ying beat her to it.
"That's right, I heard everything you said.”
"Do you mean that this prince was born into a good family because of his illustrious background?”
Li Mao did not dare to reply.
It was fine for him to gossip behind his back, but when he really faced Zhu Xiongying.
He did not even dare to let out a fart.
"Weren't you also born in the Public House?”
Zhu Xiong Ying had a smile on his face." If you were born in an ordinary family.
He probably wouldn't even be able to plant the land properly!
Since we are all born into prominent families, you can't win against me.
You can't even win against your father.
Trash!"
