Chapter 1307
Tong Xiangyu felt her worldview shattered into pieces.
In her impression, rice is a very delicate thing, very picky about the land; it doesn't work if it's flooded, and it doesn't work if it's dry.
The key is that the yield is not very high.
Therefore, there is less water in the north, so less rice is planted.
After all, there were no machines in ancient times; once there was a lack of water, it could only be irrigated by human labor.
As for waterwheels—those only turn when there is water; once there is a great drought, waterwheels are of no use at all.
But everything before her eyes overturned her view.
The yield of this rice is too high.
If the rice yield is stable at this level, then human irrigation is feasible.
As long as there is a return for the effort, the common people won't be afraid of hardship!
"This rice yield must be over a thousand catties?" Tong Xiangyu grabbed a handful of rice, her eyes obsessed.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Over two thousand catties. If the Rain-Calling Spell is cast, the rice yield can double again. But now, everyone doesn't lack food, and the common people would rather fight against exotic beasts than return to the fields to cast the Rain-Calling Spell."
"What a waste!"
Tong Xiangyu widened her eyes, unable to believe it, "It's just a spell, and they aren't willing to do it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "They can't finish eating it, they really can't finish it. A normal family of six is allocated one hundred mu of land, and the annual grain is over two hundred thousand catties; where could they possibly eat so much?"
"Over two hundred thousand catties?" Lu Licentiate was surprised, "Don't they pay taxes?"
"The grain tax is 10%, and even after paying it, there's still over two hundred thousand catties left. Even if they eat and drink extravagantly, they still can't finish it." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the Great Ming granary."
Everyone followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang with excited hearts.
A moment later, they arrived at a towering granary.
"This is the new grain from this year; as for the old grain, it has long been packed into spatial equipment. Now, even if everyone in the Great Ming stops farming, they can eat for a thousand years." Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly, "From now on, there will be no more famine in the Great Ming."
"The same goes for your world. Once Bia'er conquers it, the common people will also have endless food."
Tong Xiangyu was deeply moved, looked at Bai Zhantang, and said: "Old Bai, it seems we did a good thing."
Everyone felt honored and proud.
This decision was made by them together.
After visiting the granary, Zhu Yuanzhang drove the auspicious clouds and took everyone to visit the territory of the Great Ming.
When they returned, everyone still felt dizzy.
"Our Great Ming has already conquered the whole world?"
"This world is actually spherical?"
"There are so many lands overseas?"
Even Lu Licentiate, as the most learned among them, felt his brain wasn't enough at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "The whole world was conquered many years ago. It's just that the people of the Great Ming are reluctant to leave their homeland, so those continents are still only guarded by the army, and few people are willing to go there. As for why the earth is spherical, you can let Old Bai bring you some modern books in the future, and you will know why!"
"Is the theory of 'Heaven is round and Earth is square' wrong?" Lu Licentiate asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Not necessarily, it can only be said that the Earth in our world is round. Other worlds are different. Worlds where 'Heaven is round and Earth is square' also exist."
"So that's how it is. It seems there are truly many mysteries in the myriad worlds."
The group arrived at the imperial palace and was shocked by its luxury and grandeur.
Even Guo Furong, who had a decent family background, hadn't actually toured the imperial palace in a real sense, having at most seen it from the outside.
Touring the imperial palace now, with the current Emperor, Great Ming Taizu Majesty as their tour guide, made everyone's hearts jump.
It had style and face.
"Are these the Great Ming subjects from other worlds?"
When touring the Imperial Garden, a gentle voice sounded, and a woman wearing gorgeous palace attire walked over.
Zhu Yuanzhang introduced: "This is my wife, you should know her."
"So it's the Empress."
For a virtuous empress of a generation, everyone naturally had a very good impression and hurriedly saluted.
"Greetings to the Empress!"
"Please, no need for formalities!"
"I've asked the imperial chef to prepare good food, let's all gather together."
With a wave of her hand, the maids began to serve the dishes.
Soon, exquisite dishes were placed on the table.
These dishes were extremely extraordinary, crystal clear, and emitted golden light.
"It's glowing food!"
Everyone had already eaten this kind of food, so how could they not know the magic of it? Seeing the food, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, letting everyone take their seats.
"If you want to eat this kind of food, you can send people to the Chef God Academy to learn after you go back. Now, although Liu Maoxing and the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family are no longer teaching there, the academy's teaching power is still extraordinary, enough to cultivate powerful chefs."
"Chef God Academy?"
Everyone was startled and looked at Bai Zhantang.
Bai Zhantang spread his hands: "How long have I been in the chat group, how could I know so much."
They looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang explained again, and by the way, talked about many secrets in the chat group, which made everyone feel dazzled.
After a meal, everyone not only ate delicious food but also heard many fresh things, all feeling incredibly novel.
By evening, everyone left reluctantly and returned to their own world.
"Old Bai, hurry up and buy a statue of the Daoist Lord!" As soon as they returned to the inn, Tong Xiangyu urged, "This is a true god. Even the Emperor bows to him, we should all worship together in the future."
"We should worship too?" Li Dazui was surprised.
Tong Xiangyu snorted: "If you don't want to worship, don't force it, but when you encounter trouble, will you have the nerve to ask Old Bai to ask the Daoist Lord for help?"
Mo Xiaobei was proud: "Exactly, this is my master. It's better if you don't worship, I'll worship alone."
Bai Zhantang was speechless: "When did the Daoist Lord become your master?"
"I cultivated the Daoist Lord's technique." Mo Xiaobei was proud, "When I meet the Daoist Lord, I must go and apprentice myself to him."
Guo Furong was speechless: "There are many people who cultivate the Daoist Lord's technique, who knows who you are!"
Everyone was joking around, and finally, they placed a three-foot-high statue of the Daoist Lord and lit incense.
Not long after, Old Xing and Yan Xiaoliu arrived.
Only today, Old Xing and Yan Xiaoliu were only wearing casual clothes, not the black uniforms usually worn by constables, and they didn't carry weapons.
"Bad luck, bad luck, I'm afraid we won't have jobs in the future!" Old Xing said, sitting in his usual seat, "Old Bai, bring wine and food."
"What's wrong?" Tong Xiangyu asked, pretending not to know.
Yan Xiaoliu sighed: "Isn't it magical? Crown Prince Zhu Biao from the founding period of the Great Ming brought heavenly soldiers back! Don't believe me, those people can fly and burrow, they aren't liars!"
"We believe, we believe!"
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Wasn't Zhu Biao brought here by them? ===== CHAPTER 1308 =====
It was just that today, Old Xing and Yan Xiaoliu were only wearing casual clothes, not the black uniforms usually worn by Constables, nor were they carrying weapons.
"Bad luck, bad luck, I'm afraid we won't have jobs in the future!" Old Xing said, sitting in his usual seat, "Old Bai, bring wine and food."
"What's wrong?" Tong Xiangyu feigned ignorance and asked.
Yan Xiaoliu sighed: "You tell me if it's magical or not, Crown Prince Zhu Biao from the founding period of the Great Ming has returned with heavenly soldiers! Don't you dare not believe it; those people can fly and burrow into the earth, they aren't scammers!"
"We believe, we believe!"
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Wasn't it they who had brought Zhu Biao here?
