Chapter 910
Hear this.
Lu Wei finally realized what was happening, his eyes widening in surprise as he said, "It's the kind of food His Majesty found in Yingtian Prefecture... with an extremely high yield per mu!"
"Of course!"
As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he stood up excitedly.
Zhu Yunhuan was afraid that this matter would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives, so he kept it a secret. Apart from Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu Wei was the only person who knew about it.
So Zhu Yuanzhang actually patted Lu Wei's shoulder and chattered excitedly:
"Hahahahaha! Our eldest grandson always has his own method for doing things, always considering the next step or even several steps ahead. He's probably going to use the Ministry of Agriculture to start promoting this thing!"
"Well...it's about time."
"The first batch was planted with only a few sweet potatoes and a few vines. It took about three months for them to mature. Then the second batch was planted immediately. In the dead of winter, even if there were no conditions, we had to create them..."
"After some time, the second crop will be ready for harvest."
"With such a magical object in our Ming Dynasty, why should we need to worry about famine in the future?! Great! It's really great!"
"If we spread this sweet potato around, no one will go hungry anymore, hahahaha!"
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was a person who was afraid of hunger since he was a child.
For him, everything else has to take a back seat when it comes to "having enough to eat". Seeing this so-called "Agriculture Department" at this moment, and thinking about the future when sweet potatoes, a good thing, will soon become popular in Ming Dynasty... he can no longer control himself.
Lu Wei was originally happy about such a good thing, and when Zhu Yuanzhang talked to him like crazy without caring about his status, he could feel the joy from the bottom of his heart even more.
He even had an illusion.
I felt that the old man before me had lost all his dignity, murderous aura, and even more so, his hostility. He was just a simple old man in coarse linen clothes, a simple farmer who was very happy because he could have enough to eat...
But Lu Wei knew in his heart that this was Emperor Hongwu.
This awkward feeling...
"Well...why don't you say that you and His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture are grandfather and grandson?" Lu Wei responded to Zhu Yuanzhang's excitement with a somewhat awkward look on his face, thinking to himself.
In his opinion, in terms of being the "ultimate contradiction", these two people really have a similar purpose.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his composure, and Lu Wei did not dare to do so.
He maintained his composure and clasped his fists towards Zhu Yuanzhang, saying, "I, your humble servant, congratulate Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this voice, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back to his senses from his excitement. He still had that smile on his face and kept pacing back and forth: "Good! Very good!"
"How come our eldest grandson is so capable and knowledgeable that he managed to get such good things? That's great! Hehehehe..."
At this moment, his smile was without any other complexity. A man in his sixties, he was as happy as a child.
Lu Wei also stood aside, smiling knowingly, thinking, "So what if they're all called 'tyrants'? At least these two emperors, one truly works for the Ming Dynasty, and the other is genuinely happy that the people of the Ming Dynasty can finally have enough food to eat. How many emperors in history have been like this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy for a long time.
Lu Wei then picked up the black fox fur cloak on the recliner and walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang, gently draping it over him and saying, "Your Majesty, the weather hasn't warmed up yet. The Ming Dynasty has you in front and His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture behind. There will only be better things in the future. You must take care of yourself. You will have to see that the people of the Ming Dynasty have enough to eat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang tightened his cloak.
He smiled and said, "Very good, very good. This is just the beginning. Last year, the people of our Ming Dynasty did not suffer from the heavy snow disaster, and they will not suffer from hunger in the future. We must watch and see, we must watch carefully. When we really go to the underground, we will tell our sisters, our father, our mother, our brothers and sisters... about the good days in the Ming Dynasty!"
After being excited for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally calmed down a little. He put on his cloak and sat back on the recliner with a smile.
He shook his head and laughed foolishly for a long time.
Then he remembered the intelligence he had been holding in his hands and carefully read the rest of the content: "What is Jiang Li doing? The Jinyiwei is being mobilized..."
"There are only three hundred households and the transfer of about 500 people. Such information...what's so good about sending it to us?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in some confusion.
After he turned the page with a "swish".
His frown finally relaxed a little, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing something unusual:
[Transferred from the Jinyiwei Yamen to the Alchemy Department.]
The three Hundred Households, totaling over 500 personnel, are not the Dragon Guards and Tiger Guards, whom His Majesty Kaiqian trusts the most.
"Hiss..." Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, a thoughtful look on his face. "This really doesn't seem like the little wolf cub's style. Given how much he values the Alchemy Department, and his cautious nature, he shouldn't tolerate anyone else getting involved in the Alchemy Department. This is very strange!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, but to no avail. He fixed his gaze and continued to read. However, the more he read, the more confused he became.
"These people were recruited by the little wolf cub after he came to power..."
"Previously, they were at the Arms and Arms Bureau, the Military Equipment Bureau... the 13 garrisons in the capital's Zhili and Dusi guard posts... the musketeers?"
"What is this doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at the information in his hand and murmured in confusion.
