PFC Chapter 197 Seizing the Lesser!? You mean seizing the lesser based on yield per mu!?
Chapter 197 Seizing the Lesser!? You mean seizing the lesser based on yield per mu!?
"Yunwen, you are not cut out to be an emperor. To ensure that you put an end to this idea, I will be frank with you today."
"From this day forward, you shall not be allowed to hold power, nor shall you be allowed to contact court officials, nor shall you be allowed to form cliques or engage in private activities. You shall not be allowed to take up a fiefdom after you come of age, and shall remain in the capital for the rest of your life."
"In addition, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others were killed and their family property was confiscated."
While the sky was summarizing Zhu Di's achievements, Zhu Di himself didn't rest either.
Upon seeing the four characters "Fengtian Jingnan" appear again, he whispered to Zhu Yunwen, who had just been brought in.
Although his tone was very flat, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Zhu Yunwen was still young and could not understand what his father, Zhu, was saying, but his birth mother, Lady Lü, could understand the meaning of his words.
This means that Zhu Yunwen is not only out of the running for the throne, but even if Zhu Biao succeeds to the throne, he will not have the power of a prince.
Old Zhu's words meant that he wanted to treat him like a pig and raise him in the capital!
Just as Lady Lü was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhu Biao's cold expression out of the corner of her eye.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that she could see a hint of murderous intent in Zhu Biao's eyes.
No, it can't be?
Yunwen is his own son!
Even tigers don't eat their cubs!
"Lady Lü, aren't you going to thank the emperor?"
"Is there anything you're unhappy with about our arrangements?"
Old Zhu was too lazy to care about her little schemes.
It is true that in the imperial harem, a mother's status depends on her son, but that also depends on whether the son is qualified!
Judging from what he did during the four years of Jianwen's reforms, Zhu Yunwen was clearly not among those who were qualified in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
"Lady Lü accepted the imperial decree and expressed her gratitude."
Despite her deep resentment, Lady Lü had no choice but to obediently bow her head.
She knew that if she refused at this moment, what awaited Yunwen and her would probably be a silent death in the Eastern Palace without any reason.
Everyone knows that the Hongwu Emperor was ruthless and cruel, and countless people had died at his hands.
If she truly posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty, even the saying "even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs" probably wouldn't be able to restrain Zhu Biao and Old Zhu!
"Then go down, Biao'er. Tell Yunwen's teachers that they don't need to go starting tomorrow. Our grandson doesn't need to learn those useless things."
As soon as she reached the door, Madam Lü trembled all over again.
They transferred all the teachers who were instructing him away, which completely blocked Zhu Yunwen's path!
He had to be made to willingly become the imperial family's pig, supported by the court.
Just as Zhu Yunwen's fate was decided in a few words, the emperors from various dynasties on the sky were already arguing heatedly.
I originally thought that the saying "The emperor guards the country's gate, and the monarch dies for the state" represented Zhu Di's greatest achievement in his life.
Unexpectedly, among Zhu Di's achievements in his life, the five expeditions to the northern deserts were, in a sense, a failure!
After all, even though he could make the Tatars and Oirats flee at the mere sight of him, he could not solve the problem once and for all.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, it failed to make other countries outside the borders submit willingly.
In short, they hurt, but they weren't completely subdued.
Of course, even if it only hurts, it is already enough to be called an unparalleled achievement.
But compared to the rest, this one seems less remarkable.
"The Yongle Encyclopedia, the largest encyclopedia in history?"
"Although this would allow some things to be passed down more effectively, compiling such a book would require an unknown amount of manpower and financial resources."
Some people, with their short-sighted views, expressed their disagreement.
But dissenting voices were quickly suppressed.
"Short-sighted people, if something like the Yongle Encyclopedia could be passed down, who knows how many people it would benefit!"
"If Zhu Di truly compiled all the useful things from ancient times to the present into it, then I would call it the first extraordinary book!"
Li Er was the first to express his admiration.
Indeed, the resources required to compile the Yongle Encyclopedia were countless.
But only something like this can be considered a crime committed in the present but a meritorious deed for future generations!
Moreover, Zhu Di's compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia did not cause any serious consequences; he did not even commit any crime in his time!
"And this voyage to the West, not only can it enhance national prestige, but it can also make money?"
"I understand!"
"I will immediately send men to build ships, for I also wish to demonstrate the might of my great Han Dynasty!"
Liu Bang, however, paid attention to something else entirely.
Voyages to the West, trade, and make money!
The Han Dynasty under his command was in dire need of rebuilding, and what it lacked most was money!
Unfortunately, his idea was destined to fail.
"Emperor Gaozu of Han, you should give up this idea. With the skills of your Han craftsmen, you probably couldn't build ships that could communicate with the Western Ocean. Besides, at that time, there probably weren't many people outside the Western Ocean."
Zhu Di was well aware that the difference in craftsmanship between the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was like heaven and earth.
Even Zheng He faced numerous life-threatening situations during his first voyages to the Western Ocean.
If Liu Bang had rashly sent someone there, they would most likely have met with certain death!
"My Great Song Dynasty..."
Zhao Kuangyin was calculating in his mind that with the technology of the Song Dynasty, it should be barely possible to build ships that could go to sea.
However, before he could finish speaking, Old Zhu interrupted.
"Zhao Heizi, what are you thinking about? Is money really what your Great Song Dynasty lacks?"
"Our fourth brother's voyages to the Western Ocean were meant to demonstrate the might of our Great Ming Dynasty. What are you going there for? To show outsiders how badly you got beaten?"
Zhao Kuangyin: "..."
Can't you just shut up or something?
At the same time, the writing on the sky changed again.
Emperor Taizong of Ming, Zhu Di, ranked ninth on the list of wise rulers.
Reward: Forty years of lifespan, a yield of 2,000 jin of potatoes per mu, and recovery from all hidden injuries.
Seize less! ?
You mean Duo Shao! ?
When Zhu Di announced his reward, most emperors throughout history would have been astonished.
"A low yield per mu? Two thousand jin? My goodness! How many lives could that save!"
Liu Bang's eyes were filled with envy.
Even though he had done his best to allow the people to rest, the national treasury was empty, and there were occasional natural disasters in some areas that required disaster relief.
In one word, poor!
The people were starving, and the imperial court had little surplus grain.
If we could have potatoes that yield 2,000 jin per mu, would there still be people going hungry?
impossible!
He was even confident that he could double the population of the Han Dynasty in just ten years!
"I wonder if these potatoes can completely replace grain. If they can, I dare not even imagine how prosperous the Ming Dynasty would be."
Li Er's tone also revealed undisguised envy.
It's a divine object!
Sure enough, when an immortal makes a move, the rewards are never lacking!
The lifespan bonus is fine, as all those on the list should receive that.
Besides these, there are even such divine objects!
At this moment, hundreds and thousands of emperors looked at Zhu Di's rewards, their eyes turning as red as rabbits'.
