Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 252 Yunnan in the backcountry?No, fertile Yunnan!
In addition to filling the population of Yunnan, there is another urgent thing to do, which is to provide the common people in Yunnan with a clear way to get rich.

After all, they follow their own chiefs, although they don't live so richly.

But in Yunnan, where the situation and environment are complicated, survival is not a problem, but if you follow Daming, survival may become a big problem.

And what Zhu Qi has to do is to come up with a set of feasible solutions.

Let those tribal people living in the villages be able to get out of the villages to live a normal and happy life, and get rich by working with their own hands.

If it was before, Zhu Qi might really dare not say that he has this ability, but now with the blessing of the Three Treasures of Civilization, this is really not a big problem.

Of course, the prerequisite is to help the farmers in Yunnan to plant the three treasures of civilization.

The cultivation of the Three Treasures of Civilization had already started in Daming.

There are not many places to plant it, just a place in Yingtianfu.

However, there are many people involved, so there are still many experienced farmers.

Zhu Qi only needs to send some farmers from other places to Yunnan to teach them the experience of planting.

We must know that in modern society, Yunnan is very suitable for growing corn and potatoes.

Because even in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no way to continue planting in winter.

But in a climate like Yunnan, such crops can be grown all year round.

It is only necessary to interplant some soybeans and other crops to assist the field to restore field strength.

However, in Zhu Qi's view, interplanting and rotational planting techniques that were commonplace were genuine black technologies at this time in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, with this theoretical basis, there is basically no research on interplanting and rounds.

This is also a technology that was not developed until the middle and late Qing Dynasty, except for interplanting and rotation.

Another important factor that supports the ability to grow corn and potatoes throughout the year is fertilizer.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the only fertilizer so far is rice field.

That is, human excrement acts as fertilizer.

However, under normal circumstances, it may be possible, but if crops are grown all year round, obviously this fertilizer is not enough.

Additional nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium supplements are needed, and Zhu Qi knows the source of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Plant ash and bird droppings all over the beach, after simple treatment, are the source of fertilizer for the field, and people at this time don't understand these things.

So when Zhu Qi confronted the officials under his command, he proposed to plant plants all year round in Yunnan.

They were also very surprised when corn and potatoes were cooked all year round.

Although I know that the crops in Yunnan grow faster than those in the south of the Yangtze River and the north, but four times a year, the land can't stand it.

Some officials who had just followed His Highness Liao Wang recently thought that His Highness Liao Wang might lose his mind.

In other words, His Royal Highness Liao Wang doesn't know much about this aspect at all, just talking nonsense,

How should I remind him?

But for Liao King Zhu Qi, crops that are ripe all year round are not a problem.

He also saw the worries in the hearts of those subordinates, but they couldn't speak out directly because of their own face.

Zhu Qi didn't say much, anyway, he taught the method and asked them to find a few villages to experiment.

Of course, these few villages used for experiments are also particular, and those disobedient villages will naturally not allow them to conduct preliminary experiments.

Only those who are obedient and intend to take refuge in my village of the Ming court have this opportunity.

Of course, before finding these villages to experiment with planting fields, the first thing to do is to spread the news first.

Zhu Qi let every village in Yunnan know that Zhu Qi, King of the Liao Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, is going to conduct an experimental field. If the experimental field is successful, he will grow crops that are ripe four times a year.

Don't think this is just bragging, you must know that Yunnan is the granary of modern China, and it is also known as the vegetable basket.

The various foods grown in Yunnan can almost meet the needs of various dishes across the country.

Of course, this is on the premise that the reclamation has been very mature and there are a lot of pesticides and fertilizers, but the population until modern times is much larger than that of Ming Dynasty at this time.

Therefore, the current situation in Yunnan can also meet many of the needs of Daming.

And what Zhu Qi has to do is to help the common people in Daming Yunnan to plant things.

Naturally, there was no need for Zhu Qi to do something like farming.

Under his command, there are still many ministers who are proficient in farming.

The minister in Zhu Qi's hands.It must be different from those ministers in the central court,

Because it was Zhu Qi himself who recruited highly professional talents, not through the imperial examinations.

And Zhu Qi quickly picked two villages, not too far away from Kunming, and the leaders of the villages also had a heart for Daming.

Of course, the heart here is for Daming, not to say that when he was under the King of Liang, he already wanted to join Daming.

It was because he was too close to Kunming.

You must know that the army led by Zhu Qi is now stationed in Kunming.

But whenever there is something, you can feel their village at the first time.

Unlike other villages surrounded by mountains, you can hide in the mountains if you want.

They were on the plains, and although the things they obtained from farming were quite beneficial on weekdays, now that they were beaten in by Da Ming, they were monitored directly under Da Ming's nose.

Of course, he immediately showed his loyalty, don't say anything, he took out his bag as an experimental field, even if he changed the leader, wouldn't that be Zhu Qi's words?
In a word, Kunming is too close, and I don't have the confidence to speak.

And Zhu Qi is not in a hurry to replace all the tribal leaders in these villages, and wants them to help with some things.

The first thing to do is to persuade the villagers of those tribes to grow corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Then let them use fertilizers and other novelty things. In short, they have to be close to Daming's policies.

And with the help of these tribal leaders, Zhu Qi's promotion of new crops in the village has also achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Those villagers quickly planted new crops, and these crops would take half a year to grow in the northern or central plains.

But in Yunnan, where the climate is pleasant, it is very suitable for the growth of crops.

But it only takes three months to complete the growth, especially the fast-growing crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

So Zhu Qi was not in a hurry to say more, everything was based on the actual results of these crops after they were grown.

And when the crops were growing, Zhu Qi was also propagandizing that the support policies of the Ming court for the people of Yunnan were naturally related to agriculture first.

It announced a three-year tax exemption, and those who are willing to migrate from the Central Plains or other places to Yunnan can enjoy a five-year tax exemption.

Good guy, what kind of concept is this?

Three years of tax exemption, three years of planting things, all of which are their own.

The 5-year tax exemption is even more exaggerated. How many 5 years does a person have?

I am afraid that the food accumulated in the past five years can marry several wives.

Some people may say that Zhu Qi is not a prodigal?

In fact, not at all. Yunnan has only a small population. Even if it is completely exempted, it will not have much impact on Daming's financial revenue.

What's more, Daming had never been in charge of Yunnan before, and now that it has just recovered, it doesn't matter if it is tax-free or tax-free.

In history, even though Daming owned Yunnan, the taxes collected from the chieftains of Yunnan were very small, and there were only some small amounts of tributes, and these tributes were nothing.

Now it is simply exempted from him, and it will not have much impact on finances.

What's more, Daming now has a tax system, and the tariff established by Zhu Qi himself can collect more money than 01:30.

Under the financial value, it is natural to introduce some policies to benefit the people, mainly to encourage immigrants to go to Yunnan. I believe that under such policies, many people in the Central Plains are willing to go to Yunnan.

Of course, we will have to wait for the implementation to see the effect, and besides the reduction and exemption of agricultural assistance, the most important thing is to carry out publicity.

It is naturally impossible for Zhu Qi to directly propagate now, telling the indigenous people in Yunnan to ignore their own village chiefs.

And if he followed Daming's footsteps and propagated like this, not only the villagers would not listen to him, but even the chieftains would be pushed to the opposite side.

So what Zhu Qi wants to promote is that it is Daming, the banknotes here.

That's right, you heard it right, it is to promote banknotes.

Although this banknote still looks very strange to the people in Yunnan, and most of the villages and towns are still in the primitive state of bartering.

But if the banknotes can be popularized, after the common people in Yunnan use banknotes, it will be very convenient for the Ming court to instill ideas in these common people in Yunnan.

After all, money can turn ghosts around, who would think that money is too little?

Even those chieftains can be bought with money. As long as they are bought over and the entire village is successfully included in the household registration, is it still afraid that the local ruling system will not be established?

If he could really spend money to persuade these toasts to give up their tribe, then Zhu Qi would wake up laughing from his dreams.

Of course, this kind of thinking is still too naive. It is estimated that about 10 tribes will give up their villages because of money, but if they want to buy all the primitive tribes with money, that is really a dream.

In addition to these most intuitive methods of benefit, there is another method that can also be subtly consolidated. The rule of Ming Dynasty in Yunnan is education.

Since ancient times, education has been the foundation of a country. The reason why China can be unified is because of a unified culture.

Someone once said that China is a civilization masquerading as a country, which is actually not wrong at all.

From south to north, from east to west, on such a large land, all Chinese speak Chinese, all Chinese know Chinese characters, all Chinese have the same values, world outlook and outlook on life, and they are all the same Read the Four Books and Five Classics.

This is also the greatest contribution made by Confucianism, which is to twist the entire Chinese civilization into a ball.

It can be said that if there is no common culture, there will be no China today.

As for the common people in Yunnan, many of them speak the local dialect, which is not like the current Hakka dialect.

They can only speak Hakka and can't speak Chinese, and if they don't understand the language, how can they talk about ruling?
Therefore, the most important thing for Zhu Qi to do is to promote education in Yunnan. Only when the education is in place can his comrades be more smooth and convenient.

The promotion of education is also very simple, that is, to open schools.

Of course, it is not possible to directly set up a traditional school that teaches the Four Books and Five Classics. Since education is required, a new school can be opened directly in Yunnan in one step.

In the future, during the imperial examination, those new talents will also be admitted.

This was the result Zhu Qi wanted to see, and to let those students study in the school, it was natural to give some discounts.

After all, most of the villagers in the indigenous tribes are very poor. If they want a lot of money for their children to study, they will definitely not be happy.

Fortunately, Zhu Qi had already done similar things when he was in Liaoyang, which was to let the students work and study in the school.

A little subsidy in this regard is fine, but education must be provided.

As for why the money is not sent directly to those students, but work-study.

Naturally, the psychological conditions of those students should also be taken into consideration, and they should not be made to feel that they are being favored.

And let them feel that all this is their own labor income, so that they will be more confident.

Of course, I won't say more about these off-topic words.

Zhu Qi soon began to arrange the new school, and the publicity was naturally done by Jin Yiwei.

These past few days, Zhu Qi was extremely busy. After arranging some things in a short time, there was a wave of enthusiasm among the people in Yunnan.

On the first day, I heard that His Royal Highness King Liao was going to promote some new crops, and many villagers started planting them.

On the second day, I heard that His Royal Highness King Liao is going to introduce a new currency, and people who use this currency can get discounts when buying things.

When everyone is overwhelmed by the information, some cannot understand and are digesting it.

Within two days, another breaking news suddenly came, saying that His Royal Highness King Liao was going to open a new-style school.

Good guy, why does His Royal Highness Liao come up with so many novel tricks.

Everyone was very surprised in their hearts, and the new school can be said to be the most appropriate thing for everyone.

Because everyone knows that reading can change people's destiny. In ancient times, ordinary people regarded reading as the highest value in everything. If they can really go to a new school to study, wouldn't that mean being able to read and write? Did you work in it?
Although this kind of thinking is a little utilitarian, it is also the most fundamental motivation to urge those parents to send their children to school to study.
