Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

"Cotton fields?"

"Can cotton be grown in the north?"

Kong Ming was the first to care about these two simple words.

After Wu Yi pacified Nanzhong, he settled in Yunnan. He met a merchant from Sindhu in Qinzang County. He exchanged silk, cloth and ironware for Sindhu specialties, among which there was something that looked like cotton.

This thing was transported to Chengdu in Nanzhong and finally sent to Chang'an.

Mr. Xuande tried to summon capable people to study and test planting. After half a year of labor, the thing he got was only about four points similar to the cotton seen in the light curtain in the future.

Although it is known from the future that there is a method of selecting the best and cultivating, it is still uncertain whether this thing is suitable for the south and north of the Huai River, and whether it likes dry sun or wind and shade.

The only thing we know now is that this thing is produced in Tianzhu. From the map, Tianzhu is generally located further south than Huaxia. This thing may be suitable for the southern coastal area.

But... Tianzhu is thousands of miles long from north to south, and its landscape is still different. Who knows where this thing is produced in Tianzhu?

Although his wife Huang Yueying went to Chang'an to take over the cultivation of cotton, Kong Ming still wanted to do something.

Lu Su looked up and thought for a while, and he also remembered roughly:

"This Nurhaci... I remember that he seemed to be the Dragon and Tiger General in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Huai Sect seemed to be related to him?"

"This matter should remind Hongwu?"

Kong Ming nodded, thinking that this was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

After defeating Cao Cao, perhaps he could find someone familiar with Liaodong in Hebei, ask about the customs of Liaodong, observe the local yin and yang climate, and infer what is suitable for this cotton.

But people familiar with Liaodong... Kong Ming suddenly thought of Guan Ning who fled to Liaodong.

Before Lu Su started writing, Zhang Fei had already written it down and threw it into the light curtain:

"Why should the military advisor worry about this?"

Lu Su was amused and shook his head before turning around and sighing:

"This science started with the war, which is not easy. Although Song Xingwen has mediocre officials, it is indeed not short of talented people."

Zhang Fei's eyes were full of disapproval:

"What's the use? Can it kill Zhao Gou or Temujin or what?"

Kong Ming laughed, knowing that Yide didn't really look down on literati, but as a military official, he just complained about the environment of the two Song dynasties, so he slowly said:

"Song inherited Tang learning, and most of its scientific achievements were inherited from the Tang."

"Ming probably inherited Song learning. These talented and ambitious people, their words, books and learning must be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Fei expressed his admonition with a serious look:

"I must remember what the military advisor said. Zhu Xi was mourned by Xin Qiji so much, which shows that he is also a man of action."

"Although Zhang Zai's words are a bit exaggerated, he is a real man if he can really try it!"

"But if we give the people land, they will not starve to death. Do we really need to try such a simple truth?"

Liu Bei, who had been silent all the time, sneered:

"Is it simple? If everyone understands such a simple truth, at least most of the disasters in the past two thousand years can be eliminated!"

"You and I brothers can probably drink and manage the fields in Zhuo County and enjoy ourselves!"

But when he looked up and saw what his brother-in-law wrote, he felt a little helpless for a while:

"How can the Hongwu Emperor answer you if you write like this?"

〖Zhang Fei: Hongwu Emperor, Nurhaci is your Dragon and Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that he changed the temple name of Huaizong.

Zhang Fei: But you and the Hongwu Emperor have been separated for hundreds of years, so you can't fight him, which is a pity. 〗

When Emperor Ming saw the first sentence, he was going to thank him, but when he saw the second sentence, he stopped writing:

"What did we say? The Huai Zong Rang Zong and the like, are they really changed by the Hu thieves to humiliate us, ha!"

Empress Ma was amused by her husband's hesitation when he started writing:

"There is more than a thousand years between the Marquis Huan and the Ming Dynasty, why are you so angry?"

"It's different." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and was also tangled, but finally said frankly:

"When we started the army, we also heard the tea doctor talk about the Three Kingdoms and the Song Dynasty, and we knew that even Yue Wumu had thought about being as brave as Guan and Zhang."

"When I traveled to Henan and Huaixi, I also heard that the Marquis Huan was actually handsome, with good handwriting and good painting, and he had the style of a Confucian general."

"Why do you know so much now..."

"Frank?" Seeing her husband in trouble, Empress Ma chose a word considerately.

"Sister knows me!"

"Then why don't you ask Marquis Huan directly?"

"It seems like... that's fine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and his brows gradually relaxed, but he was still a little hesitant:

"I'm just afraid that it might be a bit disrespectful..."

Empress Ma understood her husband's concerns. After all, in the eulogy for her grandfather, she clearly wrote that she wanted to respect China, and Zhang Fei was at least an ancestor of China.

But after understanding, she also disagreed:

"This screen is very magical. It's possible that Marquis Huan, who wrote these words, is not as old as you, Old Zhu."

The emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't know whether he should be happy because the queen's words had cleared his doubts, or worried about the passing of time because of the name of Old Zhu.

So in the end, the emperor of Ming Dynasty decided to put all his thoughts aside for the time being and consider the problem of the Ming Dynasty first.

"The name Nurhaci..."

Pacing back and forth in front of the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered softly, trying to call him in the familiar Mongolian tone.

After repeating it several times, she seemed to have more doubts:

"This name seems to have some Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty meanings, but it seems to have a lot of differences."

Empress Ma thought it was reasonable:

"The Hu Yuan Dynasty has been in danger for a hundred years. The Liaodong Hu people have never cultivated civil governance. It is inevitable that they will be related to the Hu Yuan Dynasty in the next hundred years."

This is also the reason. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of his brother:

"Xu Da should be more familiar with this. He should also write it in the letter... No, no, he should be called back early."

Instantly, Zhu Yuanzhang also changed his mind. He wrote the letter before just because he thought that this method of mapping war was very useful, but now what the light curtain said is very likely to be true, so he needs to be treated with caution.

Now it is August. Originally, Xu Da should return to the capital to discuss politics at the end of the year. In this case, he simply sent a letter to ask him to return early.

Including the time for sending the letter, it is only a month earlier for Xu Da to leave. In this case, there is nothing to hesitate. He immediately made up his mind:

"Xu Da should be called back early."

After making this decision, Zhu Yuanzhang had the leisure to pay attention to other feelings.

For the changes in the two Song dynasties and the continuation of Neo-Confucianism, he had no special feelings, just shook his head and sighed.

And he sighed extra about Zhang Zai:

"Zhang Hengqu is a man, but a little stubborn."

But then he sneered with an inexplicable emotion:

"These four words are well said, but it's a pity that they can only be hung in the temple. Even if the scholar-officials only did one sentence, there would not be the Jingkang disaster!"

This was a bit sharp, but Empress Ma also knew that her husband was still unable to calm down because of Hu Weiyong's incident.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was very tenacious, and he immediately got rid of these mentalities and skipped them all, but remembered another name mentioned before Nurhaci:

"Li Zicheng killed corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty to equalize the land..."

"Is this Li Zicheng the commander-in-chief of our Ming Dynasty? Or is he the censor of some other side?"
