Chapter 678 Agricultural and Commercial Development After Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the mineral development of Treasure Island had achieved great success, he specially summoned Xia Yuanji to the palace to commend her for her hard work for the Ming Dynasty. He said to Xia Yuanji, "Your talent has opened my eyes. I am very satisfied with your work. Keep working hard and contribute more to the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang's encouragement inspired Xia Yuanji and made him more determined to continue developing Treasure Island. He understood that the potential of the island was far from being fully tapped. He would continue to lead his craftsmen and miners to make more contributions to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. After a period of hard work, Lin Che's views gradually resonated in the court. More and more officials began to think about solutions to the court's corruption problem. Slowly, a wave of reform arose in the Ming Dynasty. Lin Che's efforts were finally rewarded. Zhu Biao saw hope for the Ming Dynasty's revival. However, he also understood that this was only the beginning and there was still a long way to go. Mr. Lin, you are really the savior of our Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao looked at Lin Che with deep emotion. Lin Che smiled and shook his head. He was not worthy of the title. He was just talking nonsense here. Zhu Chong also looked at Lin Che deeply. Mr. Lin, our Ming Dynasty has an advisor like you, which is exactly what we want. The three of them sat together and continued to discuss the future of the Ming Dynasty. They believed that as long as they persisted in reform and worked hard to save the Ming Dynasty, it would usher in a more prosperous and beautiful future. After that sad day, Zhu Biao and Zhu Shuang left the imperial prison and walked in the corridor of the palace. The sun shone on them, looking particularly warm. Palace examination, Mr. Lin Che’s explanation is what benefited me a lot, Zhu Biao smiled and said to Zhu Shuang, Zhu Shuang nodded, yes, he gave us a new way of thinking, which made me more firm in the values ​​​​we uphold, they continued to move forward and gradually moved away from the imperial prison. In the corridor under the sun, they supported each other and forced themselves towards the future. They understood that although there were many difficulties, as long as they persisted in their beliefs, they would be able to change and influence the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty. From that day on, Zhu Biao and Zhu Shuang started a new journey. They not only had to face political challenges, but also had to think about and answer their own inner questions. They began to actively change themselves, hoping to lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity and strength. After several hours of communication, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Chong all developed a deep respect for Lin Che. They summed up some reform plans, exchanged their ideas and explanations with each other. In their eyes, Lin Che's wisdom and talent became a precious treasure. At night, the sky gradually darkened, and the moon was high in the sky. Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao left the imperial prison. The resident and Zhu Chong sent them to the door. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bright moon in the sky, his heart full of hope for the future. He decided to work harder in the future to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty and contribute his strength to the country and the people. It was another day of lectures. Zhu Biao looked at Lin Che's expression and felt expectant. He believed that Lin Che would have some surprising suggestions. Lin Che cleared his throat and said, "The topic I want to discuss with you today is the development of agriculture." His voice was steady and powerful, which attracted their attention. Lin Che continued, "Agriculture is the cornerstone of the national economy. Most of our people rely on agriculture for their livelihood. Therefore, promoting the development of agriculture is a problem we must solve here." The Zhu Di brothers nodded and looked at Lin Che with expectant eyes. Lin Che continued, "In order to promote the development of agriculture, we must first strengthen support and protection for agriculture." We should establish sound agricultural policies, provide farmers with the technical support and training opportunities they need, and at the same time we also need to increase investment in agriculture, improve farmland irrigation technology, and increase crop yields. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, as this was exactly what he expected. Lin Che put forward specific suggestions, which were of great significance to improving farmers' lives and national economic development. Lin Che said, in addition, I also suggest that we should actively carry out agricultural science and technology research, look for new crop varieties, improve resistance to diseases and pests, and promote trap agricultural technology. In this way, not only can agricultural production be increased, but also farmers' income can be increased and their living conditions can be improved. Everyone listened with great interest and nodded in agreement. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Lin Che's suggestions were very practical and these measures could effectively improve agriculture and farmers' living conditions. After Lin Che finished speaking, he continued to talk about the abbot of agriculture. We should also pay attention to the prosperity of commerce. Commerce is an important support for national prosperity. I suggest that we should strengthen foreign trade, attract more people to invest, and promote the development of the domestic market.

At the same time, we should also increase the country's wealth, stimulate employment, and improve the living standards of the people. Zhu Yuanzhang listened attentively, secretly admiring Lin Che's wise vision. He knew that the prosperity of business was crucial to the development of the country, and Lin Che's advice was exactly what he wanted to hear. In the secret room next door, several people who were listening were discussing these suggestions enthusiastically, and each of them had their own opinions and ideas. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Lin Che's suggestions were very practical and easy to implement. Xia Yuanji also admired him deeply. Zhu Yuanzhang was full of excitement and hope. He admired the position and was full of confidence in the agricultural and commercial development initiatives proposed by Lin Che. Walking out of the secret room of the imperial prison, Zhu Yuanzhang came to a quiet restoration room. He was thinking about how to promote the implementation of these measures. Just when he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Your Majesty, you are here." Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw that it was Minister Li Jing. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Li Jing, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you." Zhu Yuanzhang showed an expectant expression. Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, please tell me your ideas. I will do my best to help you realize them." Zhu Yuanzhang first introduced the content of Lin Che's speech, as well as her own plans and ideas to Li Jing in detail. Li Jing couldn't help but frowned, he realized the importance and difficulty of these reform measures, but His Majesty Lin Che's suggestion is very likely to encounter a lot of resistance and challenges. We need to be prepared and plan for the charge, and strive for support and cooperation from all parties. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement. He completely agreed with Li Jing's point of view. Reform is not an easy thing, but they are confident that they can overcome difficulties and promote the development of the country. The two walked around in the garden, talking about their ideas and plans. (End of this chapter)
