Chapter 6 Just a little effort(1/2)

 If it were in the past, Zhou Cheng would definitely blush when he heard such words, but now, he is used to such compliments, and he was disgusted by this group of people just now, so he listened calmly.

Go down.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang took a look, he knew that Mr. Zhou was a very calm person, so no wonder he was favored by him.

"Serve the country, serve the country, serve the country!"

Zhou Cheng waved his hand, he couldn't wait to end this flattering process.

Therefore, he spoke calmly:

"It's just a little effort. I just watched the people at the bottom have a hard time. They have worked hard all their lives just to fill their stomachs. The seeds I planted will allow them to live a better life in a worse environment in the future."

I won’t feel any guilt for the rest of my life.”

Zhou Cheng recalled later generations' investigations on the "Little Ice Age" and believed that the "Great Ice Age" occurred from the middle of the Yuan Dynasty until the late Qing Dynasty. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, it suffered the greatest impact.

During this period, the world's temperature dropped sharply, crop yields dropped sharply, natural disasters occurred frequently, and the population dropped sharply. Therefore, many descendants say that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was due to this reason.

Everyone who had been looking forward to the future of the Ming Dynasty just now was stunned when they heard this, looking at each other without saying a word.

Zhu Di asked Zhou Cheng directly without thinking: "Sir, what does environmental degradation refer to?"

Zhou Cheng was a little tipsy and didn't realize that the person drinking next to him had stopped and listened.

"There are more and more natural disasters, including floods, droughts, earthquakes, ice and snow, and other natural disasters."

Zhu Di's expression changed and he asked quickly:

"How is that possible?!"

So Zhou Chengcheng said the term "Little Glacier" again.

"In any case, the temperature will not change overnight, but will gradually become colder and more extreme weather will occur. For example, in the warm south, in one winter, there will be a snowstorm. It will only become more severe in the future

, this is not the climax yet. Later, when the temperature drops, the blow to Daming will be even greater."

"If such a thing really happens, then who can afford such a loss?"

"Although the food I provide may not completely solve the problem, it can also greatly reduce their burden and give them some opportunities to rest."

Zhou Chengming obviously ate a little too much.

"Boom!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly put down the cup, his face became solemn.

The ministers held their breath and were completely silent.

They had just shouted that Ming Dynasty was blessed by God and how majestic the emperor was, but the other party said that Ming Dynasty was going to suffer and was going to be unlucky.

These people all wanted to knock Zhou Cheng's head off to wake him up.

The one sitting with you is the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty!

Can't you just say a few words?

Can we have a good meal?

After these days of contact, Zhu Di is convinced of Zhou Cheng and knows Mr. Zhou's character well.

He believed that Mr. Zhou was not a person who spoke freely, but his words were really harsh and made Zhu Yuanzhang, the man who single-handedly created the Ming Dynasty, intolerable.

How can you prove that what you say is true?

Zhu Di looked at his father and then at Zhou Cheng. He felt very uncomfortable and had to quietly tug on the actor's sleeve, hoping that he could take back what he just said.

Do you want me to help you go home and rest?"

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a voice came.

However, there are also some people who care about Zhou Cheng's words and the future of Ming Dynasty.

"What does Master Zhou mean by this? Is there any evidence? Now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, we will not believe your nonsense."

Zhou Cheng climbed up shivering and said casually:

"If you don't believe it, you can read the county and state chronicles of various places and you will see that from the last century to the present, it has become colder year by year, the climate has become worse and worse, the temperature difference between the north and the south has become larger and larger, and the rivers have also deteriorated.

More and more."

"Crop yields declined throughout the summer, and droughts followed."

"Every county and state annals has records. If you read more, you will understand."

After saying that, Zhou Cheng waved his hand and turned to leave. He didn't expect that he would make such a big fuss.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable when he heard the news. He knew that Mr. Zhou would not tell the truth, but in his heart he wished that the news was true.

No one was eating or drinking anymore. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered his people to take away all the things on the table. Then he turned to the officials and said:

"Did you hear that? Find me all the county and state chronicles from various places. In addition, find people from a few more places and ask more questions. Don't do anything for the time being. Let me take a look and sort it out!"

"Yes!" All the civil and military officials also knew that this matter was unusual, and they immediately saluted respectfully with solemn expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in the yard with his hands folded, looking at the paddy fields in the distance.

"If this is true, then this Master Zhou is the one sent by God to help our Ming Dynasty survive this disaster."

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to this matter, and no one dared to neglect it. As soon as the decrees came out, actions were taken in all directions, and officials in the court spent all night reading the books of counties and states that were handed over.

A few days later, a memorial was placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others were all present. After reading the memorial, everyone fell silent, and the entire palace became quiet.

Until Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, which finally broke the silence.

Zhu Biao walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, all the evidence proves that Mr. Zhou is right. We must take this matter seriously."

Some officials believe that even if there are such signs, the weather cannot be changed. If the weather has been getting colder and may get warmer, there is no need to worry too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. This was related to the Ming Dynasty. Even if there was only a slight chance, he would seize it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also came out of the famine. He knew very well that one-third of an acre is everything to a family and is related to the life of the family.

Without fields and food, what will they do? Zhu Yuanzhang is a lesson learned from the past.

From what Mr. Zhou said, it seems that it was not just the Ming Dynasty that was affected by the temperature. So, what is the situation in the north?

The "hyenas" of the Central Plains always invade the border when they are hungry in winter, and this time is no exception.

Now, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the weather was smooth and it seemed that it could be solved easily. However, once the climate becomes abnormal or even worsens, Ming Dynasty will always be affected by climate change. If we don't take precautions at this time, how will we deal with it in the future?

If we can run the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner, can our descendants be comparable to us? If something like this happens to an unfilial son, it is very likely that he will destroy the country due to internal and external troubles.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Qin Shihuang's talents and strategies have made indelible contributions to us, but in the end, didn't our Great Qin perish after two generations? When he was here, he already knew about this matter, and he was already prepared and had ancestors

The title will not be changed easily by future generations.

"Prince."

"Here!"

"Continue to vigorously promote new grains and produce more books on agriculture. Let other places start to formulate corresponding rules."

He said to the civil and military officials on the side: "You can draft this document first and then distribute it to various places for execution."

"Moreover, if Mr. Zhou is talking about long-term small glaciers, ordinary people's clothes and clothes will have problems."

Zhu Yuanzhang issued the order in an orderly manner.

On the other side, Zhou Cheng looked up at the sky, while Zhu Di looked at him with a gloomy look.

Since waking up that day, Yang Kai has not said anything to him.

Zhou Cheng vaguely remembered that he had said a lot of things, but he didn't understand why Zhu Di looked at him with such strange eyes.

"Then what did I just say?"

Zhu Di was relieved after learning about the recent series of actions in the DPRK and confirming that the "Little Glacier" Mr. Zhou mentioned was true.

Otherwise, given his father's temperament, even though he would kill him for the sake of Mr. Zhou, he would never let it go.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di finally told Zhou Cheng exactly what he said that day.

Zhou Cheng was really shocked that he actually asked him to tell them about Xiao Binghe?

If it were an ordinary person, he could use this as an excuse to say that he was a big shot, but these people were all standing in the imperial court.

But if you think about it carefully, there has been no news in the past two days, so you probably don’t care.

Zhou Cheng was thinking this when he saw Brother Huang leading people in at the door.

Several people behind him took out boxes of different sizes, then put the boxes away and ran away.

Zhou Cheng was confused, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and slapped Zhou Cheng on the shoulder, his eyes full of enthusiasm.

"I gave this to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou is personable and doesn't mind the poverty of his family, but how can I bear to see you suffer? Our two children have caused you trouble, so just accept it with a smile."
