Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

After finishing a busy day, Zhang Xin returned to Yande Palace and breathed a sigh of relief, smiling from ear to ear.

She has been waiting for this matter regarding her fifth uncle.

Although not very righteous.

But she was indeed looking forward to seeing her fifth uncle being demoted.

This person was demoted twice in his previous life, and both times he came back he did a lot of good things for the people.

In the Zhu family, everyone from my father-in-law’s generation is talented.

She had already targeted two people before she came back.

One is King Ning and the other is King Zhou.

What the Ming Dynasty lacked, from beginning to end, was mainly money, followed by food.

In Zhang Xin's entire plan, the seventeenth uncle, Prince Ning, is a man who is good at making money, strategizing and fighting, so how could he not know how to trade.

This guy is extremely smart and can do anything to perfection.

In my previous life, I had no choice but to keep a low profile, and was forced by my father-in-law to become a writer.

Zhang Xin made the effort to prepare scented tea just to attract this tea-loving person in advance.

Now Prince Ning is already halfway online.

The treasure ship was supposed to go out again in the summer, but when the third uncle was gone, the emperor's grandfather asked Prince Ning to lead the troops to the border. Even if Prince Ning was not the one to go out to sea, he still had to make arrangements. Prince Ning was trapped in the garrison, so the second trip to the sea was temporarily shelved.

Once the general situation is settled, things will naturally be reorganized. After my father-in-law ascends the throne, things like maritime bans will naturally no longer exist.

Maritime trade is the real tool for making money and expanding territory. With Prince Ning in charge, there is no need to worry about the court running out of money.

Another person in Zhang Xin's plan is his fifth uncle, King Zhou, who is responsible for obtaining food.

According to the fairies in the Department of Merit, King Zhou's contribution to future generations is world-class.

This fifth uncle was a nerdy type of person. He had been living quietly in his fiefdom, but somehow he was tricked out of his fiefdom and then demoted to Yunnan by my royal grandfather.

He didn't actually stay in the local area for a long time, but the life of a commoner was very different from that of a prince.

The living environment in the southwestern border area is extremely harsh, and it is also a smoke-filled and miasma-filled place. The people lack clothing and food, and diseases occur frequently.

After experiencing it personally, he was deeply touched.

As soon as he returned to Kaifeng, he gathered a group of folk scholars and doctors, who began to collect folk prescriptions and proven recipes, and compiled them into "Puji Fang" and "Xiuzhen Fang" according to categories.

Not only that, he also specially opened a botanical garden in the palace, planted wild plants collected from the public, asked painters to draw portraits of these plants, and observed and experimented on the plants in the botanical garden day and night. Their morphology, origin, characteristics, edibility or medicinal use, etc. were all recorded.

Zhang Xin was not sure how much of this matter had been accomplished so far.

But my fifth uncle's book, "Compendium of Herbs for Famine Relief", which is known as a world-class masterpiece, was published in the fourth year of Yongle.

When Zhu Gaoxu and Prince Ning went out to sea, they brought back a lot of overseas seeds as requested by Zhang Xin.

At the beginning of spring, Zhang Xin borrowed a few people from King Zhou through her father-in-law to plant new crops.

There are too few people and the time is too short to see any results.

This time, Zhang Xin's second brother Zhang Sheng went there to help King Zhou arrange for the scholars and doctors who were studying plants in the palace, as well as the very important botanical garden.

We can do without the Zhou Palace, but we must keep these people and things.

Once the maritime ban is lifted and they bring back those high-yield grain plant seeds from outside, that will be their time to shine.

After my father-in-law ascended the throne in my previous life, my fifth uncle quickly became a prince again.

Because of my second visit to Yunnan, I felt even more deeply and devoted myself to research.

My father-in-law didn't quite agree, but as he was my younger brother, he couldn't bear to let me go, so he gave me a lot of support.

During the Yongle reign, my fifth uncle started to study various subjects, including plants, medicinal herbs, literature, and Taoism, and he became very good at them all.

Zhu Youdun, the eldest son of my fifth uncle's family, is similar to my fifth uncle. He also likes to study things. Both father and son have a bit of a non-confrontational temperament.

As for the fact that no matter which dynasty he was in, he was constantly accused of treason, haha.

All I can say is that nerds can't speak, they really can't speak, they can't read people's expressions, and they can't judge the situation.

Being a prince since childhood, he grew up without having to worry about other people's feelings, so his fifth uncle's dissatisfaction was just dissatisfaction.

For example, if he was dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen being the emperor, he would say it directly, both inside the palace and outside, without any concealment.

The Chief Secretary of Prince Zhou's Palace was so frightened by his fifth uncle's outspokenness that he pretended to be crazy and asked to leave.

Uncle Wu didn't take this seriously either.

She is still dissatisfied, still making outrageous remarks, and still supporting her father-in-law.

It just so happened that the fifth uncle’s second son, Zhu Youjie, was very ambitious.

Zhu Youjie actually had the same mentality as Zhu Gaoxu. Both were second sons, but were born a little later. In the future, this huge royal palace would have nothing to do with him.

The princess consort that Zhu Youqie married was also designated by his grandfather, the daughter of the governor Sheng Yong.

Sheng Yong was the confidant arranged by the Emperor's grandfather to be Zhu Yunwen's confidant.

As time went by, the fifth uncle's own son took the crazy step of betraying his father.

Zhang Xin had no way of knowing what Zhu Yunwen promised Zhu Youjie.

But judging from the results in his previous life, this person definitely ended up losing more than he gained. What Zhu Yunwen wanted to do was to reduce the power of the princes, not to replace them with new princes.

After Zhu Youjie reported his own father, not a single hair was left behind.

Until the Xuande period, he was still jumping up and down for the throne, making all kinds of false accusations, and was finally demoted to a commoner by Zhu Zhanji, who could no longer tolerate him.

In short, Zhang Xin has no control over unfilial descendants and the like. Her focus is on Prince Ning and Prince Zhou.

One makes money, the other makes food.

The King of Zhou was also able to improve medical care.

This is no longer as simple as one plus one plus one equals three.

The father-in-law is under the control of the mother-in-law, so he won't be so suspicious. As long as he can make good use of Prince Ning and Prince Zhou, the Yongle Dynasty will be more powerful than any other dynasty.

She wouldn't have to suffer for three years, and then three years of mending and patching.

Very happy——————
