When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that his grandson had specially come to have dinner with him tonight, and that the boy did not return to the East Palace after the meal, he knew that something must be wrong with him.

"Yunwen, you must have something to do when you come to see the emperor for dinner, right? Is there some government affairs that you don't understand?"

The emperor's grandson smiled and said harmlessly.

"The imperial grandfather fell ill this time, and the grandson was extremely worried. Fortunately, God opened his eyes, and the imperial grandfather's body is now safe and sound. But after this incident, the grandson thought even more!"

"Oh? What are you thinking about? Tell me and let grandpa listen." Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest.

"Yes! The grandson feels that it is really not easy for the emperor's grandfather to be a father. It is not easy for his sons to grow up gradually, but they have to leave the emperor's grandfather. Even when the emperor's grandfather fell ill, there were only twenty people around him.

I have a son here!"

"This time the emperor's grandfather fell ill, and the affairs in the court were not delayed or messed up. It is entirely due to the efforts of the twenty uncles, twenty aunts and fourth aunts. With their presence, the grandson can take time off and feel more at ease with the emperor.

Grandfather’s safety.”

"So my grandson is thinking, why not take this opportunity to let the 20th uncle, the 20th aunt, the fourth aunt, and the three younger brothers from the fourth uncle's family stay in the capital together and not go back!"

"My grandson is not cursing the emperor's grandfather. If the emperor's grandfather catches the cold next time and has someone to take care of him, my grandson will feel more at ease. After all, it is better to rely on our own family than anyone else!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer immediately, but pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus that was blooming in the garden.

"Look at this sweet-scented osmanthus, how beautiful it is in bloom. Our Ming Dynasty is just like this sweet-scented osmanthus. The ground we step on is the people. We, the emperor, and you, the prince, are like the sun in the sky."

"Your fourth uncle's good use of soldiers is like a servant in this garden. He is responsible for cleaning up the weeds around the sweet-scented osmanthus and preventing them from affecting its growth."

"As for your Uncle Twenty, he is like the rain from the sky. When the rain falls to the ground, it can make the flowers bloom better and make the land wetter, so that the roots of flowers and trees will take root deeper in the soil.

It will be stronger and stronger, both are indispensable!”

"Your fourth uncle is guarding Beiping. Although the last time you went to inspect Beiping, his prestige among the Beiping army is very high. It can even be said that he has no regard for the imperial court. Without you as grandson, he would not even have me as emperor!"

"This is not good, but we have reprimanded him and punished him. Doesn't this mean that all his wife and children will come to the capital? We are telling him that neither we nor you have the ability to issue an imperial edict.

Ask him to hand over his wife and children. If he doesn't hand over his wife and children, he will be disobeying the order!"

"If you haven't seen it in the past few months, he will know that he is wrong. Last time when your third uncle died, we also fell ill. Your fourth uncle insisted on coming to Beijing to see us, but we didn't let him. We were the first to wake up.

The only thing he needs to do is to have someone write him a reply, we’ll be fine! Let him take good care of our Ming Dynasty’s northern border and protect our Ming Dynasty’s people!”

"He also admitted his mistakes many times in the letter and promised us many times that he would manage his soldiers well. This is not entirely a bad thing."

"Especially for you, you are not as good as your fourth uncle in the military. With your fourth uncle here, he will definitely be a big help to you in the future. At least if the Yuan people in the north gather together again, they will be able to defeat the fourth uncle.

It’s so sad!”

"Let's talk about your twentieth uncle. Your twentieth uncle is even more remarkable. He is gentle or slow. He used a line in the poem, which is to sneak into the night with the wind and moisten the rain silently. His contribution seems to be

It doesn’t look as big or as straightforward as your fourth uncle’s contribution.”

"But what your 20th uncle has done is a great thing that will last forever! You can calculate from ancient times to the present. Let's not go too far, starting from the ancestor Longshi Emperor, from the Qin Dynasty to our Ming Dynasty, how much has changed in between

A dynasty?"

"Dynasties change, and one person after another becomes the emperor. We can also see clearly that there is no dynasty in this world that will not perish. But in history, those dynasties perished for some reason. It was not all because the people could not survive.

You can’t afford to eat, you can’t farm, so you have no choice but to rebel!”

"Including your grandfather and me, if your twentieth uncle can really make the people of the Ming Dynasty have enough food, then the Ming Dynasty will be stable. I dare not say that it can surpass the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, but

At least four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, we can count on the Ming Dynasty."

"Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is respected by both history books and scholars as the emperor of the ages. But how many years did the Tang Dynasty last? Wasn't it only more than two hundred years? There was a difference of eleven to three hundred years. As long as the common people still have a way to survive, then

How can it perish in the future?"

After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he could only say: "My grandson has learned a lesson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "You just said that it is not easy for me to be a father, but it is easy for the common people. How many soldiers we have in the Ming Dynasty, and how many soldiers there are in the Ming Dynasty. They are all children in the family, and some are even the only children in the family.

"

"My children are sent to the battlefield to fight for your old Zhu family and protect the country for your old Zhu family. Isn't it hard for others? As an emperor, we have to suffer before the common people! How else can the common people obey you? Otherwise, those children

How do you guys convince me?"

"Your heart is kind, right? You feel sorry for your grandpa. You want your uncles to stay with grandpa so that your grandpa can live a long life. Grandpa's love for you is not in vain, but this can't be done like this."

Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that the emperor's grandfather would be so determined in his heart! And he said such a series of words, which made Zhu Yunwen unable to defend himself, but he still refused to give up.

"Imperial grandfather, my grandson thinks that even though the fourth uncle has worked hard in Peiping and made great achievements, the fourth uncle cannot be left out. But the twentieth uncle is still young now, only sixteen years old, and he has just gotten married."

"Beiping cannot do without the fourth uncle, but Liaodong may not be able to do without the twentieth uncle. Didn't the twentieth uncle plan to grow that grain called corn in Liaodong? There is land in Liaodong, and we also have land in Yingtian. If it doesn't work, we can let the second uncle

If you open a piece of wasteland in Yingtian, it is the same for us in Yingtian."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen did not dare to look at him, so he could only lower his head respectfully and look at the ground.

"Grandson, you haven't seen this time how good and fertile the land in Kaiyuan is. The rice and wheat grown in Kaiyuan are better than other places. Although the weather is cold and there is only one crop a year, if it is comprehensive

If it is spread out, and there are plains there, it is very likely that it will become the granary of the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

"Ying Tiantian has so much land, and there are so many mountains, and there is no wasteland for him to cultivate. The land that can be cultivated has been given to the people, and the remaining land that cannot be cultivated is mountainous and cannot grow food!
