Ming dynasty grand dude

However, the author was not only not ashamed at all, but also proudly said that he inspired the young people to be upward.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaogong had only verbal violence and non-friendship intrusion and negative distance contact with his female ancestors.

When it comes to paper, Mr. Zhang is even more aggrieved.

I don't know which bastard made up the story of Da Vinci painting eggs.

What a bastard!

Da Vinci was in the middle of the fifteenth century, although papermaking had already been introduced to Europa.

But at that time, Europa did not improve papermaking at all, and it still used the technology of the Han Dynasty in China!

At that time, Europa's paper was not too expensive, and only religious classics were willing to use paper for printing.

And they couldn't make particularly huge paper, and the raw materials in the 16th and 17th centuries were limited to broken linen.

For a long time, only a single linen paper was produced, and the largest size of paper produced was only 31x53 inches or 24x4 feet.

But even this, the production is limited and the price is not low!

Why are most of the paintings of that period made of canvas? !

One is because they can't make such a large paper, and the second is that canvas is much cheaper than paper.

Da Vinci's mentor asked him to use paper to make a draft and draw eggs, let alone at that time.

Even Da Vinci himself later couldn't reach such a grandeur!

Parchment paper, straw paper, hemp paper, etc. are actually the real situation in Europa now.

Grandpa Zhang spread it out and looked at the crooked Chinese characters on it.

"Corn" was actually mentioned in it, and he couldn't help but glanced at Heinrich in surprise when he saw this.

The latter froze for a moment, bowed his head in embarrassment.

"This kind of seed is quite big, the stalk is long, the color is like jade, and its grain is like rice. So it was simply translated as 'corn'."

Young Master Zhang nodded with a smile on the surface, but he was emotional in his heart.

After turning around, it is still called corn.

"This is... a sweet potato?!"

Although Zhang Xiaogong was prepared, he was still taken aback.

Heinrich lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Yes, it is called 'sweet potato' because its skin is red..."

Well, Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes.

However, in fact, Zhang Xiaogong was extremely excited in his heart.

There are many reasons for the sudden collapse of Ming Dynasty.

But the most core reason is the arrival of the Little Ice Age.

With the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the temperature in most areas of the entire Great Ming territory continued to drop.

At the same time, there will be a large number of natural disasters in the later period, including locust plagues, floods, droughts... and so on.

However, the empire no longer had the control it had in the early days, let alone the bravery it had in the early days of the empire.

The power of the gentry is deeply rooted, and cynics stand in the court and fight endlessly.

The few generals who can fight are rare, and they are hard to get ahead and are implicated in the court battle.

In the end, the empire will collapse.

Although there are many reasons for this, the people who are starving due to the reduction in food production continue to struggle...

This is the last brick to overwhelm Daming.

There is food, the country is stable, and the people can be safe!

There is no food to eat, so it is inevitable to rise up.

Corn, sweet potato!Looking at these two items, Jade Chihu let out a slow breath.

As long as these two items are handled properly, then the entire Ming Dynasty will basically not be in danger of rioting!

"Come here! Go invite Qian Gong and tell him not to make a fuss!"

After looking around at the things Heinrich brought back, Young Master Zhang felt a little unsteady in his breathing.

There are too many things in it, and it will take time to spread them out in Daming.

However, Mr. Zhang had a secret plan for this, so he asked people to find Qian Neng, an old fellow.

Old money!The young master gave you this wealth, I am afraid that it will make you immortal!

And Lao Qian naturally didn't dare to neglect after receiving the news, who is Young Master Zhang? !

That's his old money's benefactor!

If there is no guidance from the young master, his old money can at most be retired in Jinling.

Where is the emperor's favorite today!The little grandpa called, and his old money came rushing as if he could fly.

Chapter 8 Thirteen

"Do you want to be famous forever and receive incense forever?!"

Old Qian came over out of breath, and Mr. Zhang gave him such a sentence right away.

Immediately, this sentence directly pierced Lao Qian's heart.

"The dog doesn't want to!!"

Hearing these words, Lao Qian's eyes immediately turned red. Are you kidding me?

If it was in the past, Lao Qian would really be like his surname—think about money.

But do you need to think about money now? !

No need!

His old money is really rich, and he earned it openly, as a gift from His Majesty!

No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty can pick out the truth, and they have to praise him for his ability.

why? !The more old money he got, the harder he worked for the country!

The silver actually earned from the mines will flow back to the household treasury and His Majesty's internal treasury.

how? !Want to chat with the Ministry of Finance? !Or just a wave with His Majesty? !

Absolutely no one wants to do this, because it's courting death...

The old money is now rich, and very, very rich!

And he doesn't need to worry about his future at all, the enjoyment in this life is over.

His current achievements, unless he dies and rebels.

Otherwise, you only need to go to another country to retire, and you can retire directly.

It doesn't matter whether he returns to the capital or resides in Yizhou, and the inner treasury will allocate money to him every month.

There is no need to think about the affairs behind, His Majesty has said it himself.

There is a memorial tablet for Qian Neng in the Xianzhong Temple, so why think about it? !

So now leaving a name through the ages is more important to Lao Qian than anything else.

Although Marlow's Hierarchy of Needs is a summary of later generations, it is also suitable for reference at this time.

Old money has long been separated from the most basic physiological needs protection, and the second layer of security is not a problem.

Emperor Hongzhi has always guaranteed his safety, even when the Yanguan impeached him most severely.

As for the ownership of the third layer, this was where Lao Qian was most confused.

He is an internal official, and according to etiquette, he is not allowed in his own clan.

But even though he belongs to the royal family, the royal family didn't care about offering sacrifices after his death.

And this ownership is a huge confusion for him or most of the internal officials.

They couldn't see any way out, so they desperately gave themselves money.

And desperately climb up, the benefits of climbing up are not only power and money.

More importantly, they have the right to be rich in order to adopt a child from the clan to inherit everything of their own.

There will be someone offering sacrifices behind him.

Although they know a lot, there is no case of adoptive child sacrifice behind their backs.

But this is at least one out of ten thousand hope, and it is better than being completely hopeless and becoming a lonely ghost behind him.

After the establishment of Xianzhong Shrine, this worry about the future is basically gone.

After the need for emotional belonging is resolved, there is the need for respect.

In this regard, Xianzhong Shrine has also perfectly solved it.

As long as he can continue to do so, his tablet in Xianzhong Shrine will be honored by the royal family.

In this era of Ming Dynasty, is there any higher respect than this? !

After all these are satisfied, Laoqian will naturally go to the highest level: the embodiment of self-worth.

In the era of feudal ethics in the Ming Dynasty, what is the embodiment of self-worth? !

It must have left a name in the history, set up a shrine to worship, and was worshiped by thousands of families and people!

It can be said that Zhang Xiaogong's words directly hit the part of Lao Qian's heart that he desires the most.

"Plant these grains!"

Without hesitation, Young Master Zhang gave Qian Neng the parchment in his hand.

As for matters related to leaving his name in history, Lao Qian naturally grabbed it and opened it to read.

Fortunately, all of them are Chinese characters, Lao Qian can naturally understand what is written.

"...maize production

, One mu of rough cultivation can produce about two stones.Flood-resistant, cold-resistant and drought-resistant, suitable for many places..."

After reading the paper, Lao Qian's eyes widened and his breathing became short of breath.

Two stones per mu!You must know that even the yield per mu of high-quality fields in Guochao is nothing more than two fights with one stone.

This thing directly produces two stones per mu, what a concept!

Production has nearly doubled!

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., the yield per mu can reach more than a thousand catties. Drought and flood can be tolerated, and cold and heat can be used..."

Yield per mu... a thousand catties per mu! !

Qian Neng's Adam's apple was rolling, and his eyes were wide open.

Suddenly, what flashed through his mind was that one acre of land was equivalent to a hill of grain.

"Where are the seeds!!"

Old Qian's eyeballs were all red, and when he turned his head, the bloodred eyeballs stared at Heinrich.

Heinrich really didn't expect that the smiling old Qian had such a crazy side.

"It's here! It's all here! Mr. Qian, the box you brought here is full of seeds!"

Lao Qian was able to get up suddenly, and pushed Heinrich away who was wearing heavy armor with one hand.

He ran straight to the box and saw him "click~" to open the box.

The yellow ones inside are corn seeds.

There were also some germinated potatoes and sweet potatoes. Heinrich was in a hurry when he saw that the old money was about to reach in tremblingly.

"Dr. Qian! The sprouting of these potatoes is poisonous, you can't eat them!"

Qian Neng was taken aback when he heard this, and turned around: "Poisonous?!"
