my days with tyrants

Chapter 108 It's Important Without Him

In front of the Daqing Palace.

"Is this what you say, the thugs who beat you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang growled obviously angrily.

More than 300 righteous women carefully selected by Yang Feng knelt in front of him in a sensible way.

And changed clothes.

They all wore the so-called Daxia country student uniforms designed by Yang Feng, which were actually small skirts, tops, white socks and boots. After all, they were not Ming people, although they did wear the Ming clothes designed by him every day. , but ceremonial occasions need to wear big summer characteristics...

It's like he needs to wear his military uniform for ceremonial occasions.

Now it's an audience, so of course it needs to be more formal.

Then the three hundred little girls knelt in front of the Daqing Hall, all obediently lowering their heads.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's them, the fifth from the left in the first row, who wounded me with a bamboo spear."

The disfigured Tongzhi of Yingtianfu pointed to the little goblin and said.

The latter looked up blankly.

then……

"Wow!"

she cried.

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his forehead.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously a little manic.

"Bring her here!"

he shouted.

Then the old eunuch passed by, but the little goblin fell to the ground crying in fright, so he just hugged her up, and he had to coax her all the way, telling her not to cry, and then hugged Zhu Yuanzhang Putting it down in front of him, the little goblin stood there crying, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze.

"give her!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the guard next to him.

The latter immediately handed the two-foot spear in his hand to the little elf.

The latter still took it blankly, but as soon as the guard let go, she couldn't hold it because she was too weak and her hands were too small. As a result, the spear fell down. She wanted to grab it, but she fell down with it.Then she got up very awkwardly, grabbed the spear with both hands and lifted it up like a snatch, just lifted it up, and stood there very satisfied, turned around, the spear almost hit Tongzhi again body.

"She hurt you with a bamboo spear, how about eight bamboo spears?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tongzhi and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, she is not alone, there is a partner with her, that one is carried on the shoulders in front, and she is aiming at the back."

The fellow knew that he was wronged and couldn't help but shouted.

"roll!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

Tongzhi had no choice but to retreat silently with grievances.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other officials of Ying Tianfu...

"The iron coupons were given by me, and there is no reason to change them. After all, what you have said is nothing more than trivial matters. Don't say that these girls have iron coupons. Even if they don't have iron coupons, they should not be punished according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. You can all be them Grandpa's people are all well-read poems and books, but now they are arguing with a group of girls, and it would be embarrassing to say it, so what should I do to deal with it, and then spread it in the mansion to make it known all over the world?

A group of officials from the dignified Yingtian Mansion fought with a group of eight-year-old girls?
You don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed.

Let it go!

As for what you have said about these girls running around in the capital and ruining the atmosphere, I would like to ask, what kind of atmosphere are they ruining?
Improperly dressed?
When I was their age, you could see folk girls who didn't cover their bodies everywhere, even if they were running outside, if it wasn't for the cold winter, they simply didn't wear an inch to avoid damaging the cloth. Now they just wear some new clothes. Become a corrupt atmosphere?
As court officials, you don't care about serious business, but stare at a group of girls getting dressed?
They didn't ruin the atmosphere, but your eyes are full of filth!

All will be fined for one month. "

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

The officials quickly pleaded guilty, and then retreated one by one in disgrace.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched them leave, and looked at Yang Feng angrily...

"It's the same with you. They are also Yingtianfu's Yamen after all. You go to the door and let them have no face? I will help you once today, and don't make trouble here next time. As for the people arrested by Yingtianfu, I also care about it." They let it go, after all, those factories of yours are now in a critical time. In the future, don’t just take this iron coupon and cause trouble outside, I haven’t seen anyone who carries the iron coupon with him every day.”

He said.

Of course he knew the truth.

but……

He just has to help Yang Feng!

He didn't help Yang Feng, he didn't punish Ying Tianfu, how could the conflict continue to intensify?
Only by pulling sideways can those civil officials be more indignant and continue to fight Yang Feng fiercely, and then His Majesty the Emperor can watch the fun, and he also wants to see how far those civil officials have grown.

What's more, Yang Feng's factory has temporarily suspended production under the pretext that the workers were arrested. Those who were arrested were all from the cement factory, and two of them belonged to the technical backbone. His Majesty the Emperor just started using cement, and now he is waiting. This thing, so let these workers go quickly.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. My iron coupon has always been with your daughter."

Yang Feng said.

He has already passed the realm of hitting people with iron coupons.

On the contrary, at this time, with the increasing population and more and more things on Wutai Mountain, there is a need for something to control the place, and iron coupons are undoubtedly the most suitable, but those righteous women holding iron coupons are of course not as good as The little princess took it, the righteous girls don't know the purpose of this thing.

So he was not in the capital, so he threw the iron coupon to the little princess, who lived at the foot of the mountain anyway, just like the guard in the embassy area.

"Hmph, I learned from you, and she is becoming less and less serious. I have to find a decent female officer to control her."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Of course, he just said it casually.

After all, the main job of the little princess recently is to help him raise money.

He has just withdrawn [-] banknotes from the bank in the form of a loan, so that he does not need to print them. He has already felt the advantages of this game. While controlling the total currency circulation, he can still have banknotes that can be used at any time .Although the bank is theoretically not profitable now, this is not a problem for him at all, because as long as the bank's reputation is maintained, that is, the withdrawers can withdraw as much as they want, then it can be maintained.And it is very simple for him to do this. The best way for the bank to maintain itself is to not maintain it by itself. When the time comes, he can just print some money to the bank.

The key is that he can spend as much as he wants, just like printing money directly in the past.

But it is not like printing money directly in the past, so that more and more private banknotes began to depreciate quickly. In the past, he has been releasing water, but now it is circulating water. The total circulation remains stable, and the natural currency value also remains stable. If the water is not enough, add some more.

But Baochao stabilized.

The value of the new banknotes has been stable so far.

Especially after forcing North Korea and Ryukyu to pay with precious banknotes, the copper, gold and silver in his hands are increasing, and the purchasing power of precious banknotes is stable.

So now his daughter surprised him a little.

"Yes, we must be strictly controlled. I think it is best to find someone who is stricter!"

Among Yang Feng's teammates.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk nonsense with him, but looked at the dung pill he brought.

"open to take a look!"

He said.

The old eunuch hurried forward, and then frowned.

The smell of this stuff is quite strong...

That is all kinds of manure, all kinds of dregs, and even sulfur. In short, they are mixed in a mess and then fermented for a long time, then dried and crushed to make a high-concentration fertilizer. According to Xu Guangqi, a bucket is worth ten stones. manure.This should not be an exaggeration. After all, both bird droppings and bean cakes were the core fertilizers in the rice fields of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the early Republic of China, especially bean cakes. Even the large-scale promotion of chemical fertilizers by foreign merchants did not overwhelm the bean cakes.

Until the 30s, bean cakes could still compete with chemical fertilizers.

In fact, soybean meal itself is a compound fertilizer.

The content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in this stuff is not low, and guano is even higher than soybean meal, but the cost is high, and it is located on an isolated island in the sea. No matter how difficult it is to mine and transport in this era, unlike soybeans, which can be planted everywhere, and can also be used as food Especially oil pressing, and soybean oil is needed for canning.

As for the feces pill, it is a combination of the two, based on soybean meal, and increasing the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content through bird droppings.

Then reduce costs.

In addition, this has the function of killing insects.

So things like deer cane powder are also added in it.

Standard compound fertilizer.

Before there was no nitrogen fertilizer industry, this was the best solution Yang Feng could think of. In the final analysis, agriculture depends on fertilizers. Since synthetic ammonia is pure science fiction in this era, the only way to make this kind of compound fertilizer is to do it locally.

"This smell is a good thing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a handful and smelled it contentedly.

Yang Feng had already dodged aside.

The smell of this thing has reached the level of death.

But in this way, the packaging bag has to be solved, so it is best to use a crock or wooden barrel, otherwise the ammonia gas will run a lot.

"So the key is soybeans."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The guano can already be dealt with. The fleet he sent before just sent back the first batch of guano, but this time it was only for exploration. They dug up [-] catties on the small island in the north of Xiaoliuqiu, and then shipped it back. Zhu Yuanzhang's plan is to set up an experimental field in a certain Wei in the capital next year with dung pills as fertilizer, and also experiment with Yang Feng's deer vine powder and the like.

If it succeeds, it will be promoted in each health care provider.

As for the folks to solve it themselves, of course he will not prohibit the folks from doing it too, but he will promote it by rewarding the guards.

He is absolutely devoted to military households.

All kinds of rewards continue every year, rewarding treasures, rewarding cloth, and thinking that there was too much pepper back then, and each person was rewarded several catties, and the military households were basically thrown in places with poor conditions, like places like Yunnan and Guizhou. If you want them to be faithful, you will be rewarded.

"Yes, the key is bean cakes, bird droppings, etc. It's easy to do. It's nothing more than digging. There are actually very few in Xiaoliuqiu. Even if you dig, it won't take long. There are more in the South China Sea. There are several islands, but it can't be done. It’s a lot. The one with the most, and it’s relatively close to us, is an isolated island in the ocean east of Luzon, where the entire island is. If we use the amount used by Ming Dynasty, it may be enough for a hundred years. In addition, I will give you The America on the map, there is also this level of guano on the southern coast, it will take hundreds of years, but whether it is Luzon or the Americas, the journey is tens of thousands of miles."

Yang Feng said.

Of course, the guano is the hardest.

The cost of this trip of 1000 catties of bird droppings was that a warship of the Ming army sank at sea. Although most of them were rescued, some died. In addition to illnesses at sea and other accidents, a total of more than 50 people died and [-] people died. many.

In this era, as long as you go out to sea, you have to sacrifice your life.

This is still only three thousand miles round trip.

If it is a round trip of tens of thousands of miles, just look at the Gothenburg. In that era when sea voyages were relatively mature, one third of the round trip was still dead.

"That's a matter for future generations, and if I get this thing, it's a success.

I have already asked the He family to go to the South China Sea.

They are familiar with the South China Sea and will find and bring it to me. "

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He is talking about He Zhen...

Of course, He Zhen died a long time ago. At this time, it was He Zhen's son He Rong, the hereditary Duke of Dongguan, who was involved in the Lanyu case in history and was killed. All his brothers were killed. He Zhen's younger brother He Di simply rebelled. But he was also killed, but this time the Sapphire case did not happen, and their family escaped.

The He family belonged to a powerful family in Guangdong. In fact, even if there was no Sapphire case, they would have to be killed.

But now they work.

Then there is no need to die.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to attack Annan, the navy is necessary. For this kind of thing, he must rely on Guangdong tycoons like the He family. What's more, not only to deal with Annan, but also to march to Nanyang in the future, their family is indispensable.

The useless ones can be killed, and the useful ones should be kept as much as possible to continue to squeeze out the value.

The left and right He family were also unable to rebel.

Originally, He Di was forced to rebel in history, but the local Ming army in Guangzhou quickly resolved it without using any army.

In short, with the major changes in Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, many things have changed.

"As for bean cakes, it depends on your machines. If your reclamation can be successful, there will be wasteland everywhere in the north. Not to mention Liaodong, even the prefectures of Beiping can do the same. The less populated places in the north are reclaiming wasteland and building farms. A large number of beans are grown. In the south, bean cakes are used as fertilizer to grow rice. Even in the north, wheat can be grown in winter.

I have enough food and clothing, my Ming Dynasty will last forever. "

Zhu Yuanzhang said very complacently.

Yang Feng just smiled slightly, it's better not to spoil the scenery at this time.

As long as he likes it.

Well-fed...

It is not difficult to have enough food and clothing, but there are always some people who want to eat meat!Everyone eats rice and wears cotton clothes. Of course it’s okay to have enough food and clothing, but when someone wants to wear silk and satin, and eat delicacies from mountains and seas, then someone has to eat bran and swallow vegetables and wear rags covered in patches!
The ideal is good, but history has proved that the reality will never be the ideal.

Can his phoenix sons and grandchildren just ask for ample food and clothing?

Would those princes and earls only ask for ample food and clothing?
Will those officials be content with the status quo?
Not to mention the officials and lords, even the petty officials will not be content with the status quo, nor will the local gentry be content with the status quo. Zhu Yuanzhang just used his coercion as a strongman to suppress the injustice of the Ming Dynasty in a relative to a lesser degree.But the essence has not changed, so under this coercion, all forces are waiting, waiting for the day without him, the harder he suppresses now, the crazier these people will be after his death...

finally free.

Of course, retaliatory consumption is required!
So, without him, it matters!
