Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very excited by Zhu Tao's words, and these words were said to his heart.

In the Northeast, although the guard system has not yet been established and a long-term and large-scale garrison mechanism has been formed, the strategic location is very dangerous, how can it be abandoned!

Zhu Tao's insights are really in place, this is really hitting the nail on the head, and it hits the most critical point.

But Zhu Yuanzhang obviously had something to say after hearing his tone, so he asked.

"Tao'er, what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Tao took a sip of tea, and then said.

"Those ministers said that the Northeast is a place with extremely cold climate, and the land is not suitable for growing crops. In fact, this is a very absurd statement. My child once traveled to the Northeast. The land between the white mountains and the black waters is very fertile, even better than Shi. All the fertilizers are effective, and the climate problem is not a big problem, as long as we find suitable crops."

After hearing Zhu Tao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded frequently, but he still had a doubt.

"What Tao'er said is very reasonable, but what kind of food can be grown in a large scale in the Northeast without being affected by its climate?"

Zhu Tao looked at his father's eagerness to know, and thought that this royalist was too qualified.

But thinking about it is right, now my father is not an ordinary merchant, although he is a vassal, but he is also a rich man of the court, and it is only natural that he cares about state affairs.

Besides, the title of the Duke of Fuguo means to make the country rich and strong, and in such a big agricultural country, although business is important, food is the foundation of everything.

Thinking of this, Zhu Tao really admired his father's seriousness.

So he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Even if Dad doesn't ask about this, my child is just trying to tell you that I have recently researched a new kind of grain called black beans, which can survive in any bad weather." It grows under the ground, and the yield per mu reaches nearly [-] jin, and it can be eaten by humans and horses, it is very nutritious, the fat content is very high, and its value is even higher than that of ordinary meat."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes could not help but shine.

He has a son like Zhu Tao, so he really found a treasure, and he immediately asked.

"Tao'er, where is the black bean now, take Dad to see it, I want to present it to the court immediately, once the black bean is offered at this time, it will solve the urgent need of the court and the worry of the emperor. "

Zhu Tao also felt a little funny when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang being so anxious. His Zhu and our Zhu are not the same Zhu. Even if you are a duke, why are you in such a hurry?
After all, he is his father, so Zhu Tao didn't have much to say, so he said, "There are only a few seeds of these black beans. I have already asked Old Tang to plant all of them in the experimental field of Huaxiang Village. After a while, my father will be able to inspect the results." .”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overwhelmed, and immediately said: "Tao'er is indeed our son, good job! Daddy will present this black beans to you at that time, the emperor will definitely be very happy, and he will reward you heavily at that time. We are now Duke Fu, when the time comes, you will be rewarded with a hereditary marquis, at least it is a certainty!"

Zhu Tao was very helpless, after all, he only wanted to be a playboy, not a father-in-law.

So when I saw my father say that again, I couldn't help but waved my hands again and again, and declined, "I said before that I don't even want to be a nine-rank land protector, let alone what kind of Marquis, Daddy offers these black beans, no matter what the emperor rewards you." It's for you."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Tao fiercely, his mind was filled with the meaning of hating iron but not steel.

Isn't it absurd that such a person who knows military affairs and understands government affairs, whether it is a scholar, farmer, businessman or various inventions, is almost all-rounder, but only wants to eat, drink and have fun, and be a dude?
However, Zhu Yuanzhang soon felt relieved. Tao'er was able to do this because he was young by nature, and it was good that he could maintain his current state.

If the identity is known to him soon, I am afraid that the harmony as it is now may no longer exist.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for tomorrow, and summoned all the three chief assistants and the six Jiuqing hall officials almost without stopping.

These important ministers were talking about attacking Liaodong not long ago, which is definitely not a wise choice.

Now that the emperor is going to summon them again, they feel uneasy and don't know whether they should go along with it or continue to insist.

At this time, they had already arrived at the South Study Room. After several people stood still, Zhu Yuanzhang said to them with a relaxed expression.

"Ai Qing, we recruited you today just to tell you that there is no need to discuss the matter of dispatching troops to the Northeast, and it is settled like this!"

The three chief assistants and the six hall officials looked at each other, they didn't know what happened, but none of them spoke, quietly waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's next words.

"As you all know, we have a godson named Zhu Tao in Zhujiazhuang on the outskirts of Beijing. He can be described as a genius. After we left the court, we just went to our son's place and saw a new food crop called black beans."

Then, he repeated Zhu Tao's introduction to the black beans to these ministers in detail.

These ministers were not particularly surprised. After all, the pearls of potatoes came first, and now there is a black bean, which is not surprising.

Liu Bowen first said: "Shaodong's family is indeed a young genius. With this black bean, Liaodong can plant it on a large scale. With sufficient warehouses, you can safely station troops outside the pass, and you can also immigrate to build houses and fortresses on a large scale."

With an idea opened, everything below will be easier to handle. Li Shanchang, who is also the chief assistant, is naturally not willing to lag behind, and follows the suggestion.

"After the Liaodong was pacified, the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division could be set up there, and a guard post could be set up. The soldiers in the guard post could farm the fields in peacetime and prepare for war in time of war. And the military status can be passed on from father to son, and a share of military salary will be given at birth."

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials also came out to speak and offer suggestions. Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very happy to see that they no longer opposed the invasion of Liaodong, but began to plan for the construction after the capture of Liaodong.

So he said: "If this is the case, you guys should work hard. The three Aiqing cabinet leaders will continue to discuss and write down all your ideas in a memorial. Let's take a closer look at that time."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang left with square steps, leaving only a few important court officials here. After a long while, Liu Bowen said a word.

"Everyone, let's start right now. This young master always surprises people unexpectedly. Every time the superior surprise is over, it's time for us to get busy."
