Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

He had just casually made this remark because he was surprised by the contents of the newspaper.

It was just after I said this subconsciously.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt as if a white line flashed through his mind, as if he had grasped something and figured something out...

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment.

As if he had finally understood, his face lit up with joy, and he laughed out loud: "Haha! Hahahahaha! I get it! I get it! Promoting the flying shuttle loom and the water-powered spinning machine... He wasn't doing it for his own fame, nor was it a futile effort!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"What a good boy! He thinks so far ahead and considers everything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that he slapped his thigh, and suddenly he felt an extremely refreshing feeling as if "a sneeze that had been suppressed for a long time was finally released" and "a nose that had been blocked for a long time was finally unblocked".

Lu Wei had no idea what had suddenly gone wrong with this ancestor.

Can you get so excited just by reading a newspaper?

He was standing aside, wondering, when he heard his ancestor's face flush with excitement, and he began to speak calmly:

"Now we have sweet potatoes in the Ming Dynasty!"

"When our eldest grandson's sweet potatoes come out, if we continue to vigorously plant and promote them, the benefits to the people of Ming Dynasty will be more than just providing them with food!"

"There used to be no place to grow cotton, hemp, and mulberry trees... but now, with the land freed up, it's not impossible to plant more of them! Spinning machines and looms, which once seemed completely useless to the people... won't they gradually be put to use?"

"We should promote these two things now... Once the production of raw materials like cotton, linen, and silk increases, the people will be able to gradually use them."

"By then, cotton-padded clothes, or even silk clothes... may not be so out of reach for many ordinary people. Those things our eldest grandson did last year, seemingly out of arrogance and wanting to show off his achievements, actually..."

"Its most fundamental purpose is to... make the people of our Ming Dynasty more prosperous and live a better life!"

“It’s connected! It’s all connected!!”

Yes, this is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang figured out.

Before, I had rashly seen that Zhu Yunhuan had specifically instructed the Ministry of Works before the New Year to ask Qin Kui to focus on promoting spinning machines and looms. I subconsciously thought that this was just the youthful flamboyance, and thought that Zhu Yunhuan did have great achievements, so he spent some money to show off.

So I didn’t care much about it afterwards.

I suddenly remembered it today, and I just saw the news in the intelligence that Zhu Yunhuan established the Agricultural Department, thinking that sweet potatoes are about to be born...

He was both an emperor and a farmer, and he insisted on taking charge of the Ming Dynasty's state affairs himself. He was well aware of the general level of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Ming Dynasty, including land, agriculture, and commerce. By connecting these things several times, he was able to guess most of Zhu Yunhuan's plans.

The only thing that was not guessed was Zhu Yunhuan's intention to avoid some of the drawbacks and disasters of the "Industrial Revolution".

But this was also because Zhu Yunhuan had seen the real historical evolution process, so he considered it, which Zhu Yuanzhang naturally could not have thought of.

See the excited expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Lu Wei took a deep breath, his face showing a look of sudden enlightenment, and sighed: "Brilliant! His Majesty of Yingtian Prefecture is really smart! This plan is too far-reaching!"

Zhu Yuanzhang explained it clearly, so he naturally understood.

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to show off his grandson to him, Lu Wei himself couldn't help but marvel at it.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "That's right! Our eldest grandson! Hehe! As long as it doesn't involve military arrangements, everything else is fine! Even if he has military shortcomings, it's because he is too young and lacks experience and knowledge!"

Lu Wei smiled and responded, "Your Majesty, you will soon help His Majesty of Yingtianfu to make up for this shortcoming. With His Majesty of Yingtianfu's intelligence and agility, I'm afraid he won't even have any weaknesses in the future!"
