Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

When Wanxiu brought the medicine.

Zhang Xin had already told Zhu Gaochi about his plan to have Ao Fan join the Imperial Guards.

Zhu Gaochi had no objection.

As for the brothel incident, his royal grandfather was the one who caused the most trouble, so naturally, they, the younger generations, have to clean up the mess.

Tomorrow, after Wei Guan has confirmed it with others, he will just get the person a suitable title to join the East Factory.

It is obvious to all that the palace ladies have been managing things in an orderly manner over the years.

To be honest, the Royal Commerce Bureau, which is managed by female officials, has a lot of things to do and is no less busy than the imperial court. In terms of benefits, if someone wants to be greedy, the amount is much more than that in the imperial court.

But generally speaking, it is very clear from top to bottom.

It is said that local areas also followed the example of the capital and hired women to work in various positions.

It is said that the response has been good, especially for some trivial paperwork.

Now, if a woman enters the Tiqi, she is still a former brothel girl.

Although this is the first case, the resistance should not be too great.

After Zhang Xin drank the medicine, Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to take Zhang Xin for a walk in Yuzhen Palace as he did in the past. He just found a letter sent from the capital and read it to Zhang Xin.

"Uncle Zheng is back. This time he went very far. My father said that he will not let Uncle Zheng go out anymore."

"Yes, two or three years?"

Zhang Xin almost forgot about it.

Zheng He sent the tribute envoys back to his country and never came back.

"It's been almost four years. My mother said that Uncle Zheng has aged a lot. My father was so distressed that he didn't allow him to go out. How can he not age when exposed to the wind and sun on the sea?"

Although Zhu Gaochi had never been to sea, it is conceivable.

"Where did you go? Is it so far?"

Zhang Xin knew the general route map for sailing to the sea, and at most, it would be no problem to make a round trip in two years.

Steamboat ships were also constantly being improved, and the speed of the treasure ships was greatly increased. In theory, a year and a half would be enough.

"This time, the farthest place we went to was called Zufaer. There was no route map beyond that. It was said that the treasure ship had sufficient reserves at that time, so Uncle Zheng wanted to go out and see if there was anything new. This time, we lost our way on the sea and drifted for about two months. Later, we were drifting with the wind and saw the coastline. After landing, the people there were very welcoming, but we couldn't communicate in the language, so no one knew what everyone was talking about. The scenery of that continent is very rich, and everything grows on that land. Uncle Zheng named it America."

Zhu Gaochi explained it in detail.

"The resources are abundant. Did you bring back any new seeds?"

Zhang Xin thought of it immediately.

"Mom said you would definitely ask this. I specifically asked Dad to write this in the letter. This time, Uncle Zheng discovered sweet potatoes over there! There are several varieties of sweet potatoes. There are also more than a dozen crops that are very productive locally and can be used as food."

Zhu Gaochi gave a brief explanation.

Even with the precedent of sweet potatoes, no one knows whether other seeds from abroad can produce the same high yield in China before trial planting begins.

"Someone from the botanical garden once said that if one thing from the same place works in a different place, most of it will work."

Zhang Xin remembered what the old people in the botanical garden had said.

"It's hard to say. Anyway, it still needs to be cultivated from generation to generation."

Zhu Gaochi discussed the matter at hand.

"It doesn't matter. Just like sweet potatoes, they are now everywhere. Zhan Yong came back from playing outside and said that he saw a lot of sweet potatoes planted in the fields. Not only are sweet potatoes edible, but pigs love to eat sweet potato leaves, which also help them grow meat."

Zhang Xin felt that as long as one or two more kinds were added among the dozen or so, it would be enough.
