"It's all over, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is better now, everything is fine now!"

"This winter, the people of the Ming Dynasty will already be able to wear at least one piece of clothing. I think... in another ten or twenty years, everyone in the Ming Dynasty will be able to eat and there will be no more starving people."

Lu Wei took a deep breath and comforted Zhu Yuanzhang in an excited voice.

Perhaps his feelings about the famine and despair at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were not as profound as those of Zhu Yuanzhang and other people of the same age.

But after seeing what happened today.

Seeing that even the great Emperor Hongwu had his defense broken, Lu Wei's feelings were of course much deeper. His words at this time were completely from the heart.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly anticipate, "Even His Majesty Hongwu beside me has lost his composure to this extent. I wonder how big a sensation this sweet potato will cause when it finally comes out..."

Zhu Yuanzhang came to his senses.

He retracted his gaze and said, "Yes, Daming is getting better."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and shook his head and said, "No!"

Lu Wei was slightly stunned: "No...what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's lower eyelids trembled slightly, and a smile curved his lips. He said excitedly, "It won't take ten or twenty years! Do you know how many seeds our eldest grandson used to grow the two or three hundred sweet potatoes mentioned in Jiang Li's intelligence?"

"Seeds?" Lu Wei asked in confusion.

"More than three months ago, there were only three such sweet potatoes and seven wilted sweet potato vines!" Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly as if showing off some great treasure. His expression did not look like that of the Hongwu Emperor, but rather like that of an old child.

Hearing this, Lu Wei's eyes widened, his mouth dropped open, and he gasped: "Three sweet potatoes and seven vines... and you grew so many!?"

"Of course!" Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I saw with my own eyes that little wolf cub planting it in the backyard. Just a few sweet potatoes and a few vines. He asked the eunuch beside him to look for them for almost ten years!"

"Later, this kid treated that vine like a treasure. He even used silk to warm the vine seedlings and used a stove to warm them... I was really angry at the time."

"Now that I think about it, if it were me, I would worship him in the same way!"

"Given that kid's decisive temper, he'll definitely be determined to plant these sweet potatoes one after another, regardless of the severe cold or scorching heat! Wouldn't that ruin our vegetable garden?"

"My sister has always been the most caring for the people and has the softest heart. If she knew that the vegetable garden she and I have been managing over the years can have such a great effect, she would be smiling from ear to ear in heaven, hehe."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this while Lu Wei just listened beside him.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face turn from gloomy to sunny, he chuckled, raised his eyebrows and secretly complained in his heart: "Oh, that's not what I said just now."

Of course, he also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's happiness, and he was happy too.

At the same time, he made an estimate in his mind based on what Zhu Yuanzhang said: Three sweet potatoes and seven vines can produce this much. It takes about three months for one crop to mature, and they can plant one crop after another without stopping...

The more he thought about it, the faster Lu Wei's heart beat.

Even though he couldn't calculate the specific effects, he was very clear: "If we continue to plant as Your Majesty has said, this good thing... will probably be distributed to the people and planted soon!"

"Yes! Plant it! Plant it all! Everyone will have food to eat and no one will go hungry!" Zhu Yuanzhang expressed the best vision in the simplest words.

Lu Wei also laughed happily.

Mo Ming said confidently, "We will have food to eat. With His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture planning and devoting so much energy and effort, the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to achieve what the previous dynasties could not do!"

We've already talked about this.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, his body was still twitching involuntarily due to the aftereffects of his recent crying.

He took a deep breath and calmed down, then said, "Well! Our eldest grandson is a good boy, and he will be a good emperor! He has been thinking about the Ming Dynasty since ten years ago. He wants to show us the blueprints of the water-powered spinning machine. He knows the function of sweet potatoes. Even when he was in such a difficult situation as the Eastern Palace, he kept looking for them."

"He's a good boy!"

"We can never imagine what he can do!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with great emotion.

He still remembered those "treasonous" words the child had said. In the child's eyes, he, the Hongwu Emperor, seemed like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

At that time he was not convinced, extremely not convinced.

Looking back now...how could this be considered "treasonous"? It was simply speaking the truth.

At this time, how could Zhu Yuanzhang still remember Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong?

Even if he really thought of those two rebellious sons who rebelled for their own power, in his heart, they were definitely not as glorious and glorious as the Ming Dynasty that would last for thousands of years.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

Lu Wei, standing by, was also completely relieved: "It seems... Your Majesty is no longer going to care about violating the Imperial Ming Ancestor's Instructions or the deaths of the Princes of Qin and Jin!"

From his point of view.

Unconsciously, the wind in his heart had already quietly blown towards Yingtian Prefecture.

Not to mention that he now knows about the sweet potato incident, even if there was no such thing as sweet potatoes, just based on the previous incident of cheap cloth, it would be enough for him to sincerely support the emperor of Yingtian Prefecture to sit firmly in Fengtian Palace.

"But this time... Commander Jiang's intelligence... was delivered just in time." Lu Wei raised his eyebrows and muttered secretly in his heart.

After a pause, he quietly smiled with relief, raised his eyebrows and looked towards the south, with some guesses in his mind.

The news of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang's execution was finally settled in a roundabout way.

The master and servant were silent for a long time, each with their own thoughts. Lu Wei saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had collected his thoughts and, like him, looked towards the south in silence for a while, as if thinking about something.

Then he frowned slightly.

He said, "Although that little wolf cub has done so much, there are still many problems in Yingtian Prefecture..."

"The rebellion of the Second and Third Brothers was aimed at destabilizing the foundations of Yingtian Prefecture, weren't they? The little wolf cub shook the foundations for the people of the world, and now this problem still exists. Jiang Li's intelligence just now even said that many people in Yingtian Prefecture regretted the failure of the Second and Third Brothers' rebellion..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's knot in his heart was untied, but he started to worry again.
