Great Ming: You're Just a Retainer, How Dare You Kidnap Biao'er and Take Him to Sea?

The Yellow River floods, empties into the Huai River, and flows to the sea. The people are left destitute.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di tour the countryside to inspect people's livelihoods, only to discover that someone has been secretly trading overseas.

After investigating, Zhu Biao discovers it was his own retainer's doing. He finally loses it and writes directly to his father, Old Zhu.

"Dad, why not open the seas? One show of force against the Westerners would bring in as much revenue as ten years of Ming taxes!"

"Dad, don't worry about me. I'm here learning textile technology. One person can produce a hundred times as much."

"Dad, don't panic! There's a kind of steam furnace here that can smelt iron dozens of times faster!"

Zhu Yuanzhang flies into a rage like a dragon gone mad, searching everywhere for Zhu Biao.

"The Crown Prince has been led astray! Bring him back to me within three days!"

At last, Zhu Biao returns from the "bandits," leaving Old Zhu completely dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Biao'er, tell me the truth. Can those sweet potatoes you found really yield three thousand jin per mu?"

Zhu Biao: "Dad, just watch. The Northern Yuan has only a few hundred thousand cavalry, enough for just one demonstration of the Divine Machine Battalion."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"
