"How many of these seeds do you know?"

“Can we grow it here?”

In the palace.

He looked at some small cloth bags lined up on the ground and some saplings packed in wooden barrels.

Chu Ze squatted on the ground and looked at them one by one very seriously.

While he was checking, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side also looked around curiously.

Behind them, Zhu Biao was comforting Zhu Xi, who had been beaten unjustly.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, was making noises on the sidelines, first knowing the story of the adventure between the woman from the Western Region and his second brother.

"I haven't done anything for a long time... I told them clearly at the time that the goods and people would be temporarily detained. As long as there are no problems, I will not only give them generous rewards, but also release the people directly."

"As a result, several men in the other party's caravan started cursing. After the guards around me translated, they knew they were cursing me. So, I beat them all up."

"As a result, that woman clung to me for no reason."

"It's amazing. Even in a fight, you can get an admirer. Not bad, not bad!"

"Why do you speak so strangely, Fourth Brother?"

"Is there any? No, okay!"

"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's see what's going on with Chu Ze first."

While the three brothers were playing with each other, Chu Ze also roughly inspected the seeds of these plants.

Finally, he came to an embarrassing conclusion.

"Your Majesty...I'm so sorry. Among these things, I only know peanuts. Among those books, I know that one is guava. I don't know the others at all!"

"."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Chu Ze had completed the examination, he was still waiting happily for what conclusion he would give.

After waiting for a long time, this is what I got.

"You don't know me, so why are you still looking at me for so long? Are you pretending to understand?"

In response to Zhu Yuanzhang's complaint, the corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

Why do you have the nerve to say this?

"Your Majesty, how can I know if I recognize you without looking? Is this called conscientiousness?"

"Okay, okay, I'll knock you down. What should I do now? These things don't know anything. Aren't they useless now?"

"Plant it, you will know what it will be when you plant it."

"Plant... you said it's easy. Do you think it's so easy to plant these seeds? Have you ever planted it? Do you know that when planting land, you need to consider soil quality, moisture, season and temperature? You said

You just sow it?”

When he talked about farming, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side suddenly became interested.

As a pure mud-legged boy, he dare not say anything else, but when it comes to this kind of thing, he is an absolute expert!

In history, were there any few emperors who really knew how to farm?

If he had thought of this before, Zhu Yuanzhang might have felt that his price had dropped a bit.

But after hearing Chu Ze talk a lot about the future, Lao Zhu only felt that he was awesome.

In particular, he had always wanted to find a powerful ancestor to recognize.

But after being told by Chu Zeyi.

Zhu Yuanzhang has now planned to write a genealogy starting from his grandfather's generation in the future!

Grandpa works in farming.

Dad works in farming.

Son, the founding emperor!

Sun Tzu, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Great-grandson, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

How domineering this family tree is!

"Your Majesty, what you said is correct, right? Keep these seeds sealed for now, and then ask those people from the Western Regions how much they know and record them in detail."

"I will make some preparations after I go back. These are not native plants and may have greater requirements on temperature or other things. To be conservative, I think it is best to use a greenhouse to raise seedlings."

"Do you know about the greenhouse?"

"."

Originally, Chu Ze didn't want to argue with Lao Zhu.

But the man's damn desire to win makes him always feel that if the bar is not done well, he will be really sorry for himself.

After Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze's somewhat disdainful eyes, his eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

This melon boy is itchy, isn’t he?

I have heard of people using the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty. I have never heard of people using the sword of this dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty.

What kind of greenhouse this guy Chu Ze was talking about just now, you don’t need to think about it to know that it must be a thing of later generations.

This guy is clearly bullying people!

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will take some of these seeds and saplings back. You can save the rest first. Don't plant them all at once. It will be a waste if they are all gone."

"If nothing happens, I'll take your second son back first. Then I'll build the greenhouse. He'll help prepare the manpower and materials."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, which were clearly intended to bully others without respecting martial ethics, Chu Ze clapped his hands knowingly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly put work first.

After hearing what Chu Ze said, Lao Zhu couldn't say much even if he wanted to attack.

"Be more careful when you go back and ask clearly what kind of grain it is. Don't let it go to waste."

"Don't worry, I'm more anxious about this than you are."

Chu Ze didn't joke at all about the Ming Dynasty's abundant grain stocks.

He was indeed more anxious about this matter than Zhu Yuanzhang.

If there is not enough food to eat, then the population cannot increase dramatically.

If the population is not enough, the labor force will not be enough.

His plans can only remain on paper forever.

This is definitely not what Chu Ze wants to see.

"Prince Qin, would you like to come with me? Let's go do something serious."

After arriving next to Zhu Biao and the others, Chu Ze reached out and patted Zhu Xi on the shoulder out of habit.

However, this slap caused Zhu Ping to jump up and down in pain.

He turned around and pointed at Chu Ze's nose fiercely and started to curse.

"I said, can you please stop touching me first? I'm hurt all over my body now, brother...it hurts a lot!"

After hearing what Zhu Xi said, Chu Ze was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him with a half-smile.

And Lao Zhu naturally heard his son's complaints.

When I think about it, the second child finally changed his mind and did a good deed, but in the end he was unjustly beaten two or three times.

Lao Zhu, as a father, felt a little embarrassed for a while.

His face turned red, and he coughed awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Second brother, we have indeed wronged you for what happened this time. But you can't blame others for this... After all, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree. You can't blame others for this."

"But this time it was our mistake after all. We didn't investigate clearly, so we slapped you with a hat. Don't worry, big brother will naturally compensate you for this. Big brother wants to apologize to you first."

After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's embarrassment at this time, Zhu Biao, both as his son and as his eldest brother, could only stand up silently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately took all the responsibilities on himself.

Of course, although he only found out about it after Zhu Xi was beaten, this did not prevent him from admitting his mistake.

Who made him the prince, the eldest son, and the eldest brother?

He knew very well that his father was very proud of himself, so even if he misunderstood his second son, he would be embarrassed to admit his mistake at this time.

Regardless of whether this mistake was Zhu Biao's fault or not, he had to stand up and admit it at this time.

Otherwise, if there is a gap between father and son because of this matter in the future, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

"Brother, it's okay, it's okay. Don't admit your mistake. This was originally something I didn't think carefully about. But if I brought people and things into the palace together, there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings, right?"

"But I really didn't think about what to do at the time! After I brought the person home, I originally wanted to go out and see if I could encounter any strange gadgets or talents."
