Chapter 155 The Zhu family’s powerful genes

"Forget it, insect meal is actually a substitute for meat and used to supplement protein. However, it is now safe and reliable in the world, and the cost of edible food is too high.

And the most important thing now is to let them have something to eat first, and the food will be good later. At the worst, we can wholesale some pork suet in Pakistan.

Let’s change it, 300,000 tons of wheat, so much grain, should be enough.”

"That's fine. Shopkeeper, you can just watch and buy, and I'll be responsible for the arrangements."

Chongzhen did some calculations and found that 300,000 tons of wheat was only about 1.2 billion, and a few sticks of agarwood could feed a province.

If one ton of grain is compacted and one thousand people live for one day, 300,000 tons will be enough to feed one million people for three hundred days.

The lack of food does not mean that he wants to feed everyone, but that he wants to feed those who are short of food so that they can have food, have jobs, and not think about rebellion.

"The main thing is to keep up with the personnel arrangements, follow-up arrangements for disaster relief, planning the site, selecting leaders, and registering for ID cards and grains. These all require sufficient personnel.

In order to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, you can rely on the strength of the village group to merge the two villages, and then merge the people from the two villages and elect two people to manage it together.

Under joint supervision, whoever gives unfair distribution to his or her family will have their village’s supply reduced to the village that reported the report.”

"Joining the village? It's wonderful. It's best that there is some dispute between the two villages. Well, I will write this down and tell Sun Aiqing and others about it later."

Chongzhen took out the notebook from the space and wrote it down carefully.

"By the way, shopkeeper, Fang Yuegong supervised the canal in the past few years and did a good job in taking care of it. I am sending an edict to him this time to ask him to reorganize the canal.

First, for the subsequent development of the Propaganda Department, it is best to develop along the canal. With his contact, it will be smoother.

Secondly, there has been no big move for half a year. The Royal Company needs to go to the canal first and publicize those coins and newspapers. What do you think?"

"It's okay. He's familiar with the road and knows about river transportation, so he's very suitable. Good, good, you have a great idea."

Listening to this arrangement, Chen Ye had no objection. Chongzhen had summoned too many people recently, so many that he felt it.

"Well, that's safe. They should arrive in the capital before Zhili's military control.

As soon as he arrives in the capital, I will allocate funds to him and ask him to start cooperating with Li Aiqing as soon as possible."

"Speaking of funding, how much money do you have left in your underwear?"

"The last time we sold grain, plus the recent Jinyiwei raids, the royal company's profit totaled no less than one million taels.

But to buy back grain, buy all kinds of things that need to be delivered to you, the shopkeeper, and add in the allocation to Jinzhou, there are about 470,000 taels left, which is really a lot."

Chongzhen said happily that such a small amount of money was only available a few years before he ascended the throne, but now it is getting more and more.

"It's indeed a lot. Come on, buy, buy, buy. In a country, the best way for money in the market is to circulate.

We must also work hard to reduce the purchasing power of silver. We can speculate on coins in the market and raise the price of military bonds to further reduce the value of silver."

"Coin speculation? Can military coupons be fried in a pot?"

"It's not that fried..."

Chen Ye couldn't laugh or cry. When he recently communicated with Chongzhen, he subconsciously replaced him with modern people. The difference between Chongzhen and modern people was that he had not been exposed to many memes and nouns.

Of course, this does not mean that he is stupid. As long as you talk about these things, you will find that ancient people have actually played them.

Chen Ye just casually told Chongzhen how to increase the value of currency and how to use counterfeit goods to impact the price of silver. Chongzhen suddenly became enlightened and said that he completely understood it.

"Your Majesty, I said the shredded potatoes are ready, but I forgot to add the chili pepper. Can you please clear your mouth?"

"Well, let them bring it, shopkeeper, and you can try my wife's craftsmanship."

Chongzhen nodded, and when the conversation was almost finished, he nodded to Wang Chengen.

After waiting for a while, two pairs of mothers and daughters came over one after another. Chen Ye looked at it and suddenly discovered something.

"Lao Zhu, why didn't you see your eldest nephew?"

"Queen, tell me."

"Shop owner, the prince studied elementary school mathematics and first-grade physics based on the video courseware you brought, and did very poorly on the corresponding topics.

Your Majesty will punish him to continue memorizing formulas in the East Palace, and will not allow him to visit him in the study until he has a rest after dinner. Please give him a lesson."

Queen Zhou explained it to Chen Ye, and Chen Ye finally understood that it was the textbooks he sent that caused Xiao Zhu to suffer so much.

"Lao Zhu, you shouldn't be too anxious. The eldest nephew is still so young, only two years older than my concubine."

"Hmph, he is the prince and the future successor of the Ming Dynasty. I want him to guard the country for my future enjoyment. How can I manage these tens of millions of people if my peers in later generations can't learn from books?

Moreover, the lights are on at the third watch and the rooster crows at the fifth watch. This is when men are reading. Others may find it obscure or boring, so they can light up the lamp and watch the rooster crow at the third watch. Then they get up and continue.

I asked him to go to bed at ten o'clock and get up at six o'clock according to the rest advice of the shop owner. I let him sleep for one more day, which is already very good to him."

When Chongzhen said this, he became very angry. He had forgotten to educate the prince properly in the past. Recently, he was chatting with him and found out that a group of officials from the East Palace did not teach him anything. He was not good at addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in mathematics.

Of course, Chongzhen would not admit that those textbooks showed him that he himself was in a state of confusion.

Chen Ye gave a few words of advice, but did not continue. The prince started late, so it is right to study more. Chongzhen has a system, and he may often be messed up in the future. His successor must be trained well.

Harmony was restored on the table, with mother and daughter serving as vases and eating quietly, while Chongzhen and Chen Ye talked about various constructions for future generations.

After listening to Chen Ye's description of life and thinking about the environment in the Ming Dynasty, Empress Zhou became even more dissatisfied with the prince's study progress. She decided that she would personally supervise and do more sets of papers every day.

In the East Palace, the alarm clock on the table rang, and Zhu Cixi couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

Collect your courseware, shut down your laptop, carefully put it into the bag, put it in the drawer and lock it.

It was already twelve forty, and according to instructions, he who was hungry at this time should go to the imperial study room to wait for the shopkeeper to take the exam.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the excavator on the table. This thing gave him endless happiness.

"Your Highness, your Majesty asked me to prepare this for you to eat on the way."

When the eunuch saw that Zhu Cihong had finished studying, he quickly followed him and handed Zhu Cihong a piece of bread and sausages that he had prepared in advance.

Zhu Cihong grabbed the bread and saw that it was bulging and there was no leakage. He took the sausage and squeezed it. After confirming that there was no problem, he tore open the package and started to eat. While eating, he followed the little eunuchs to the imperial study room.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, they saw that Chen Ye and Chongzhen were already sitting on one side.

"My son has met his father. Good afternoon, father.

I’ve met Uncle Chen. Good afternoon, Uncle Chen.”

"Um."

"Hello, nephew."

Chen Ye chatted with Zhu Cixiang alone for a while and was completely shocked. In two and a half months, this guy, who had never had any contact with him before, had learned elementary school mathematics and first-grade physics.

"Lao Zhu, this is what you call, he did a poor job on the subject? He completed the six years of other primary school students' accumulation in two months. Your family's genes are really good."

"Really?"

Chongzhen was a little confused. Chen Ye only gave him a summary of elementary school topics, and then junior high school topics.

"Definitely. Although it is also due to his solid literary foundation and strong understanding ability. At this pace, he can take the college entrance examination in two years of study."

Chen Ye suddenly remembered that ancient people were not necessarily worse at learning than modern people. The reason was classical Chinese.

The way of writing classical Chinese requires a lot of brains. To spread a few words into a paragraph, what does it take without using your brain? Those who can learn classical Chinese well do not just need to memorize it.

Moreover, people in ancient times who could pass down their family genes would definitely not have bad genes, otherwise a person with a minor illness or disaster would be gone.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty royal family did not engage in any incest marriages, and the genes they left behind were very intact, so they were definitely smart.

"Then why did he make so many mistakes in answering the questions?"

"If you give him the questions for the high school entrance examination, he won't even learn the subsequent problem-solving methods. He definitely won't!"

"Haven't you learned yet?"

Chongzhen looked confused. He usually corrected the prince directly based on the answers. To be honest, he even learned from the mistakes of the prince in those physics questions.

Turning to look at the prince, the prince nodded with an innocent expression.

"Why are you innocent? You are the prince, shouldn't you learn faster than others? And you are already twelve years old. Among the store owner's juniors, some of them have already learned all the knowledge in the juvenile class at the age of twelve.

Tonight...you don’t have to study tonight, have a good day, the shop owner gave you a remote control plane, I haven’t given it to you, now I will reward you.”

"Thank you, father, and thank you, the shopkeeper. Cixiang is very grateful."

Zhu Cixiang nodded happily. The remote control excavator had already excited him and he couldn't put it down.

He has seen airplanes in textbooks and video courses. As the name suggests, remote control airplanes are also small airplanes, and he can play with more toys.

"Go and play. If you have a good time, you must study harder and don't slack off.

I have to study hard tomorrow and try to finish the junior high school courses as soon as possible, do you hear me?"

"Yes, father, don't worry."

After the prince saluted and left, Chongzhen stood up and saluted Chen Ye.

"Lao Zhu, you are getting more and more angry now."

"Shopkeeper, education is a major event in life. The first time you came to Ming Dynasty, you gave the prince courseware instead of just toys.

I know that you are really worried about Daming, and you really regard him as Daming's future, not just an ordinary child.

What you gave him is the vision for him to rule the world in the future. I was missing this before. I had no foundation, and others would not be able to react even if they falsified data."

Chongzhen said seriously that his trust in Chen Ye could not be increased. He was only a few years older than Chen Ye. Apart from the generation gap in Internet memes, the two of them had a lot in common.

Recently, a book reader posted a meme about Prince Ming in the forum, so I decided to write about Xiao Zhu, who hasn’t appeared in a long time.
