478 Ten Ships and One Return?
Zhu Qiyu immediately called Wei Shaoqing beside him to find out what happened, and even the navy who greeted him changed its formation. Is there any foreign enemy?
Without being nervous or afraid, Zhu Qiyu believed that his Ming Navy was invincible.
Soon, Wei Shaoqing came back.
"Long live, I've asked. Lord Bai issued an order more than a year ago. Once he sent a long-distance ship back, no matter where Nanjing is, even if the navy unconditionally makes waterways during wartime, escorts the return ships back to the port. It is particularly noted that regardless of where he is, escorting the return ships back to the port is the first priority."
After hearing what Wei Shaoqing said, Zhu Qiyu seemed to remember that Bai Minghe sent a boat to travel far before.
But after thinking about it, it was wrong, and asked, "Even if I am here, do you have to give in?"
Wei Shaoqing was very nervous, but nodded: "Nanjing Navy also knows that long live your life, you are on the boat, but Bai Minghe just issued a forced order to give way. In other words, our boat also wants to give way out of the Yangtze River waterway, and the return ship will go first. The Nanjing Navy has sent a ship to escort it."
"I..." Zhu Qiyu wanted to say that he was unhappy, but then he thought that Bai Minghe was not so outrageous.
Yu Qian said at this time: "Long live, I will scold Bai Minghe!"
"No, tell him that as long as there is a reasonable explanation, I will not blame him. But I look forward to surprises even more."
At the estuary of the Yangtze River, this scene that has been recorded in history appeared. The huge White Shark slowed down and slowly leaned towards the riverside, giving out half of the Yangtze River waterway. This scene was not only seen by the navy, but also by the merchant ships that originally gave up the waterway for the White Shark to pass, but also countless people on the riverside.
Because the people came to welcome the Ming Emperor to the south of the Yangtze River.
A boat slowly sailed into the Yangtze River waterway. The boat was extremely slow and the hull was inclined. The sail patches on the boat were patched. The wooden boards on the hull were different in color and they looked repaired everywhere. When they entered the Yangtze River waterway, the boat speed was so slow that it could not resist the retrograde Yangtze River waterway.
"Come, the White Shark dragged it." The white crane ordered on the upper deck.
The huge White Sharks, the people who walked through the sea in the Ming Dynasty, knew nothing. This was a symbol of the Ming Navy. It represented absolute authority. The dragon flag stunned the people on the dilapidated ship. When the Ming Emperor walked to the side of the ship, even if he didn't know the emperor, he knew the dragon robe and the dragon crown. The crew members on the ship, who were over 47 years old, knelt down together.
The White Shark is the seat of the white crane. Giving up the waterway is courtesy and the virtue of respecting the virtuous and the nobles.
But even if the Emperor Ming who was sitting on the boat died immediately, these ship workers were satisfied.
Soon, the people on the broken boat rushed towards the ship warehouse. When they came out again, everyone was holding something in their hands, but it was something that no one knew.
"Chi pepper, corn, tomato, sweet potato..." Zhu Qiyu had read some secret information about the white-known crane, but he couldn't recognize it. He gently tapped his fingers on the side of the ship: "The Ministry of Rites can be here, and I send someone to tell them that I am very happy and let them rest for a day. If I want to see them, I will reward them with great reward."
"Yes!" After celebrating the Left Minister of Rites, he went to make arrangements.
Even if I don’t understand why, the emperor must do it.
The Bai Minghe was also called to the front and explained the things at Zhu Qiyu's request.
"Long live, the white thing like cold melon seeds is called pumpkin seeds, which are seeds. Pumpkins are crops that are both grains and vegetables. If I die, I can only harvest ten thousand kilograms a year if I focus on planting a mud. The other one like mud, but the sprouts are potatoes. The highest record is 10,000 kilograms a year. Some people have reached 20,000 kilograms a year for sweet potatoes, and some have reached 1,400 kilograms a year for corn. This is a top-notch good grain."
"Reward. You need to reward more." Zhu Qiyu was very happy when he heard this number.
Bai Minghe had no happy expression on his face, and his face was declining: "Long live, I beg for the gift. One of the ten ships has returned, I feel heartbroken!"
"I rely on you, the heroes of the country should be rewarded with great reward!"
The White Shark weighed enough, saying that pulling the boat was just an attitude, and it was impossible for the White Shark to actually pull it. Later, the Nanjing Navy arranged six boats to pull the boat to Nanjing Port.
On the dock, Bai Minghe heard a message that made him extremely happy.
Seeing Bai Minghe dancing with excitement, Zhu Qiyu said to Qian: "Bai Minghe is a good official and a good person!"
Bai Minghe was of course happy because he heard that it was not that the other nine ships had sunk, but one of them sank on the way to go. But most of the people were saved, and then 10% of them stayed in America, and two more sank on the way back, and many people were saved. The biggest crisis was that when he was about to come back, he encountered wind and waves. Fortunately, he encountered the Ming fleet that was cruised by Little Luzon.
Eight ships were towed back to the military port and prepared to change the ship and return to Nanjing.
I felt like returning home, and I finally came back after more than a year. The flagships of the Ten Boats didn't care too much, so I didn't go to Little Luzon at all, but went north directly. It was really difficult to get home. I accidentally bumped into a reef in the northeast of Yizhou Island. Although I came back safely, it was thrilling.
"Long live, I am!" Bai Minghe smiled and was filled with joy in his heart.
"I will reward them very much, and you won't ask for it again. I am very happy today. The emperor in the world gives way to the people. I am definitely the first example. But I am not angry. I believe that today's things will be passed down through the ages, not for me but for them. The yield per mu is 10,000 kilograms, I will wait." Zhu Qiyu was very serious. You must know that the current Ming Dynasty's grain is high.
Bai Minghe did not show enough confidence: "Then Long Live send a suitable person. I think that Lord Shanglu went to Henan to preside over the important matter of new grain planting, whether for breeding or trial planting, it is a major matter of the country."
"Is Shang Lu enough? Let Hu Yi lead the way, at least three important officials. I may not be able to calm down. I am really cruel to just guard the field and watch the growth every day."
Food is the most important thing for the people. Not only has the current food problem not been solved, but it is expected that it will be more complicated in ten years.
The Ming Dynasty's food was balanced only by buying from the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, but the Ming Dynasty's policy of encouraging childbirth was the time to eat ten years later. Will the people be hungry?
When I returned to Nanjing, Bai Minghe had not returned home and had never seen his wife yet.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not even change his clothes, so he issued an order to the civil and military officials in the capital he brought to the dock, and the six ministries of Nanjing sent five chief officials to the old imperial palace in Nanjing to discuss matters immediately.
The old palace has been in ruins for a long time, and only the part of the harem can be repaired in fifteen days.
The paint on the main hall has peeled off, the floor tiles are damaged, and there are even a few empty pieces.
But in this way, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't care. Without a throne, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty sat on a bench.
Instead, the tablecloths were made of exquisite silk as the tablecloths, and crops brought back from America were placed on the long table. It was already spring and it was ready to cultivate.
"Ministry of Rites." Zhu Qiyu spoke first, and the two chief officials of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing and Nanjing stood up. The Left Minister of Rites in Beijing was lower than that of the Minister of Rites in Nanjing in terms of actual rank, but had greater power. Therefore, his identity was quite similar.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and said: "Nanjing Ministry of Rites will return a honor for those heroes who have sailed far away. What they brought back is treasure, which is more valuable than any other treasure."
"Long live, will you make it public to all people?" asked the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.
"The public announcement will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites in Beijing." After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing quickly asked: "Long live, I don't understand these things. They are things that the Ming Dynasty has never seen before. I don't know if there are any explanations for these objects."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Bai Minghe, and Bai Minghe quickly bowed: "I will make arrangements now." Bai Minghe walked outside the hall and whispered a few words to Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng immediately went to Bai Minghe's study in Bai Ma Pavilion to pick up related books, and Bai Minghe returned to the hall: "Long live, I don't need to introduce it too much. I have written detailed content, including the common sense of farming that I don't know much about. I hope my Ming Dynasty farming master can go further. This corn was planted in the early Ming Dynasty, and five stones were excellent!"
Zhu Qiyu left her seat and walked to the long table.
The white-known crane reached out and grabbed a corn cob: "This is not a good breed. The real high-quality breed is at least eight inches long and one inch and six inches thick. This is only five inches long and too thin. This corn can only be planted for one season a year, and then other improved ground abilities are needed unless the fertilizer technology of the Ming Dynasty is further further. The fertility consumed by this corn is a bit too large, and this land fertility needs to be carefully studied. Agriculture is a top-notch technology."
Promoting agriculture is a great cause, and no official dares to say that agriculture is a trivial matter.
"This potato likes sandy land the most. It was originally considered suitable for northern Shaanxi, Gansu, Guannei, etc. But this has already sprouted. If you can't wait until you get transported, you can only choose the land to breed in Nanjing first. Let's talk about it next year."
"Even if you dig a river sand and mix the soil, you must do it!" Zhu Qiyu gave the highest instructions.
Baiminghe gave a brief introduction to these crops one by one, and he didn't know some of them, such as cassava, jacas, and laidou. Baiminghe knew that there must be some in later generations, but he had never been exposed to them.
But there are a few more things, Baiminghe likes it very much: "This coffee and cocoa beans are definitely top-notch, no less than famous tea. And this chili..." Baiminghe looked drooling, and Zhu Qiyu immediately issued an order: "Transfer to my will, these can only be used as seeds, and any damage needs to be recorded in writing. No one can gain it privately unless I personally order it, including Baiminghe."
"Long live, this pepper only uses seeds and rinds..."
"The skin is not good either. Do you think my words are a joke?" Zhu Qiyu slowly stretched out his hand and placed the pepper that the Bai Minghe had already held in his hand on the table.
What Bai Minghe thought was that the oil-splashed spicy food in Guanzhong, and of course the oil-splashed noodles.
Soon, Wang Cheng brought the book of Baiminghe, two large boxes. These were not only written by Baiminghe, but also wrote about the introduction of agricultural products. There are many agricultural teachers' research experiences on planting, composting, etc. Now Baiminghe wants to take advantage of this high-yield crop opportunity to promote agricultural scientificization.
Zhu Qiyu asked the ministers to study these books in the hall. Whether to reprint or copy a few more copies is their business. (To be continued...)
