Chapter 76 Zhu Yuanzhang is also conducting experiments
During these days, after receiving Xu Miaoqing's guidance, Zhu Yuanzhang's blacksmiths were working day and night to build the three-eyed bird gun.

When the first batch of cannons were tested, Zhu Yuanzhang personally took the civil and military personnel of the DPRK to watch.

When the marble accurately hit the bullseye, everyone was shocked, especially a group of military heroes!
Everyone knows what kind of impact such a blunderbuss will have when it appears on the battlefield!
Since the Yuan people were driven out of Shanxi, they have lost their support. Instead, the Ming army used the city fortress to make many of the Yuan people's sneak attacks in vain.

Nowadays, the emergence of bird cannons with extended range and improved accuracy allows these cities to play a greater role!

If the Yuan soldiers invade the border again, they will be shot by the Ming army further away!

If a large number of Ming troops were equipped with such guns, how would the Yuan people survive in the future?
I am afraid that I will never dare to break the boundary easily again, and I can only fight with the Ming army on the prairie.

"We have only known this boy for less than a year, and yet we have benefited so much from him!"

"Not to mention white sugar and liquor, they are all good ways to replenish the national treasury! The key is that this cannon has a great effect on improving the national power of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It's a pity that this kid's intelligence is in these areas and he has no interest in politics. Otherwise, we would call him into the court and hold an important position so that he can better use his intelligence!"

However, the wave of surprises had not passed yet. As Zhu Di delivered the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang once again felt unable to sit still.

"His injury was cured by wiping it with white wine! If this is true, then wouldn't white wine be a miracle cure for wounds?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt bursts of ecstasy!

Now under Zhu Biao's management, the winery's output is still increasing significantly!

In addition to selling it to the civilian population, it is not difficult to enrich it into the military.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is a rigorous person, especially now that he is the emperor, his words and deeds can affect the world, so like Zhu Di, he also plans to give it a try.

Originally, there were some injured people in Yingtian Mansion every day. After all, these days they relied on human labor to work. They were cut by knives and hit by stones, so there were naturally many injured people.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to try it on people, but thinking that this would be a bit cruel, he asked the eunuch to catch two stray dogs and bring them back. Like Zhu Di, he deliberately injured them and then started to apply medicine.

The results took less than half a month, and the results were obviously faster after using white wine.

This undoubtedly proves the reliability of Liao Tiancheng's memorial!
"We have fought in wars, and plague often breaks out in places where many people die! This is not something we have heard about, but something we have personally experienced!"

"When the famine broke out, many people died of starvation. However, although those wealthy families who had food and clothing did not starve to death, many of them later died of the plague!"

"Some people say it was retribution, but now it seems that the plague was caused because too many people starved to death in the village and there was no reasonable treatment!"

"Sprinkle lime and burn it! Well, this method should be implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty! If people die in battles, or too many livestock die, they must be dealt with in this way! Observe for a few years. If there are obvious results, it will prove that this kid Another great achievement!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes quickly focused on the white sugar again, and he was a little confused at this time.

"Since the emergence of white sugar, wealthy families from all over the world have rushed to buy it! This is not wine, this is a dessert that everyone loves! The profits earned are simply staggering!"

"This alone, in less than a year, has allowed us to earn [-]% of the tax revenue!" "If this is transferred to the military, the court's income will be significantly reduced!"

But when he thought about how many times the amount of food was on top of the sugar, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in the military, felt warm again!
"Let's practice this problem ourselves!"

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not eat for three days and only ate sweets. Then he ate only rice and nothing else.

After such comparison, Zhu Yuanzhang was pleasantly surprised to find that the same amount of sugar was indeed more hungry than rice and noodles, and the effect was significant!
"Throughout the ages, no one has discovered this secret! This guy Liao Tiancheng is really observant! Not only did he give us the method of making white sugar, but he also came up with such wonderful uses! A genius! To say that he is the pillar of the country is not at all That's too much! It was so wise for us to give him an exceptional knighthood!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste any time, and immediately drafted an imperial edict, instructing the court and the army to reserve a certain amount of white sugar in case of emergencies.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also wrote a letter to Xu Da and revealed to Xu Da his unique skill of substituting sugar for rice!
Xu Da was training troops in Shanxi, and when he had the opportunity, he would go out and inflict heavy losses on the Yuan people.

But with the Yuan people retreating steadily, the Yuan people have now retreated to the Yinshan area and dare not approach the Ming border.

If you want to go deep into the grassland and attack the Yuan people by surprise, you have to travel lightly.

In the past, carrying rations for ten and a half days was already the limit, but now, if we use sugar instead, the same amount can keep the soldiers alive for a month or two!
Such a long time has posed a great threat to the Yuan people!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt excited just thinking about it!
"Because of this usage, our Ming Dynasty will completely defeat the Yuan people, maybe not far away!"

As for the effect of antisepsis, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to ignore it.

There is only so much white sugar produced, and considering both selling money and military use, there is no remaining white sugar that can be used as a luxury for antisepsis.

Especially now that it is winter and the temperature is very low, Zhu Yuanzhang does not even consider using sugar to preserve it.

Think about it, Liao Tiancheng was far away in Gansu, but he still tinkered with these things that were of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.

Zhu Yuanzhang not only loved Liao Tiancheng, but also admired him a lot.

"White wine can reduce the casualties of soldiers, and white sugar can greatly improve the soldiers' ability to conduct expeditions and raids! This guy is really the lucky star of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Our daughter originally wanted to win over those ministers, but now that Liao Tiancheng is such a capable person, we have to win over him! Ning Guo took it upon himself to follow him to Yinmagou, which actually did us a big favor!"

"Based on her intentions, if we want to give Ning Guo to him, he can't refuse!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a reply to Zhu Di, asking Zhu Di to ask about Liao Tiancheng's voice to see if he was willing to marry Ning Guo.

But after the letter was sent, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the problem that troubled him again.

"If he is willing to marry Ning Guo, then we can't show up on the wedding day? But once we show up, our identity will be exposed! If he knows that I am the emperor, can he still talk to him as he pleases in the future? "

Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be a little addicted to this experience of hiding his identity. Even if his daughter gets married, he doesn't want to reveal his identity.

After thinking for a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang apparently discovered new tricks on the hidden road.
