My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 277 The Powerful Farm

Guilichi stood up, thinking and thinking, with mixed feelings.As King Khan, it's not an honor to offer a dance among them, but in the current situation, what if he doesn't dance?
At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly said, "Your Majesty lacks a weapon?"

Guilichi nodded subconsciously. The dance he is best at, or the most popular sword-horse dance in Mongolia, really needs a machete.

Zhu Di took off his saber and threw it to Guilichi.

"Make do with it."

Gui Lichi held it in his hand, he was less than ten steps away from Zhu Di, he flew forward, and with this sharp sword in his hand, he might be able to end the life of Da Ming Zi.

Really close at hand, between raising hands.

But what is waiting for him?
Cutting corpses apart with random blades, is life better than death?
Gui Lichi couldn't tell, he could only raise his sword, pretending to be a scimitar, and started to dance... Although he was not of the blood of the Jin family, he was a Mongolian Khan after all, and went to dance for the Han emperor.

He always felt that something was missing, and a strong grief and anger was brewing in his chest, so that he swung his weapon with extra force, halfway through the song, there was already sweat on his forehead.

Such a Guilichi naturally cannot escape Xu Huizu's eyes, he has already locked Guilichi.

As long as you have any evil intentions, you will be killed immediately.

After all the dancing, Gui Lichi didn't do anything out of the ordinary, on the contrary, he even knelt down.

"My emperor's heavenly grace, the virtue of regeneration, I am grateful, engraved in my heart."

Zhu Di had a smile on his face, "Gui Lichi, I saved you this time and helped you thwart the civil strife. But it may not be easy for me to help you sit in the position of Great Khan of Tatar. Who told you this guy You can't live up to your expectations, even your subordinates can't hold back, you really let me down!"

Zhu Di scolded him mercilessly, but Gui Lichi, who heard this, was not only not angry, but also a little bit grateful... It is also a relief not to sweat profusely, and finally he will not be ashamed.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di smiled again: "But anyway, you are my guest, Gui Lichi, are you willing to be wronged a little, and be a Khan of Duoyan Sanwei?"

Guilichi hadn't reacted yet, and froze on the spot.

Zhu Di stood up, walked up to him, and said with a smile: "It's like this, I plan to turn the area north of Daning, west of Liaodong Jurchen, and near Daming into the jurisdiction of Duoyan Sanwei, and you will be the Khan On Daming's side, I will make you a loyal and obedient king, hereditary. I guarantee that your descendants will always be kings, and no one can replace you. I will hand over all the merchants and trade in the grassland to you, Are you still satisfied?"

Gui Lichi obviously became short of breath, he knew what was going on better than others... Mongolia has always respected strength.A profuse like him who was supported by Alutai and then kicked off by others really doesn't have much prestige.Even if Daming reluctantly supported him to regain his position, few people would care about him, and it was almost inevitable that he would be kicked out again.

The situation of the Duoyan Sanwei was different. They did not require King Khan to have the blood of the Golden Family. Before that, the main force of the Duoyan Sanwei was killed by Daming.

Zhu Di made Guilichi the king of Khan, and there was not much resistance.

Moreover, Zhu Di also gave him the right to negotiate business, and promised to be hereditary, and his descendants would be the king of loyalty and obedience.

No matter how you look at it, it is much more comfortable than taking the risk of going back to pick up Wala Khan and sitting on the powder keg.

"Your Majesty, minister, thank you for your grace!"

This time Gui Lichi came from the bottom of his heart, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, weeping with gratitude.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "Get up, let's continue drinking."

This time Guilichi drank to his heart's content, and after a few glasses of wine, without Zhu Di's request, he came out on his own initiative and started dancing.

He danced extraordinarily vigorously, not only dancing, but also singing loudly, and finally knelt down in front of Zhu Di, "Your Majesty has the world in mind, and the people are alive, so he should be the Khan of Heaven!"

God Khan!
That was Tang Taizong's honorary title, and Zhu Di was very fond of it, and coveted it.But in the end he didn't drink too much, so he said with a smile: "I know I can't be a Khan of Heaven. After all, in terms of achievements, I am far inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and in terms of vast territory, Ming Dynasty is not as good as Yuan Dynasty... Genghis Khan even Why don't you dare to be so self-respecting, what is it called Tian Khan?"

Zhu Di laughed and said, "But what you said is enough to show your loyalty. I will reward you with this Tianzi sword. If anyone under my command dares not to accept it, I will cut it off directly. Can it be done?"

"Yes!" Gui Lichi nodded again and again, looking at this Tianzi sword now, he couldn't put it down, not to mention letting him dance, even if it was ten thousand times more difficult, he would be willing.

"Your Majesty, God's Grace, I throw myself to the ground!"

There was always a faint smile on Zhu Di's face, and there was no surprise at all... After all, Xu Jingchang had already written the method for him, so why should he be proud?
But to be honest, Xu Jingchang's talent in dealing with this kind of matter is very real.

For example, Guilichi, he was a loser.

Being able to get these is already considered a big profit.

And starting between Daming and Mongolia, there are naturally many benefits to arrange such a person.

He happens to be able to act as a buffer zone, as well as a beacon tower.

He would notify Daming in advance of any plans to invade the Mongolian tribes.

Secondly, with them there, they can continue to digest and absorb the Mongols, allowing them to change their habits, give up nomadism, and become the labor force that Ming needs.

To put it bluntly, Guilichi is Daming's experimental field, a demonstration area, used to radiate the entire desert.

This is also in line with the strategy of step by step and steady progress.

Swallow the part near Daming first, and then develop in depth.

After solving Guilichi, only Benya Shilihan and Taibao Arutai were left. Zhu Di planned to solve it together, but he suddenly saw a shocking news from the Dibao.

It is expected that Beiping will have a bumper harvest of autumn grain, and the government has more than 300 million shi of grain in stock!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Di's first reaction was that he was lying, he was so overjoyed, and bragging can't go too far!
"Go and call Zhu Gaosui over."

Not long after, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui came. When Zhu Di saw him, he asked, "Who told you to brag?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a while, then scratched his head involuntarily, "Father, the child is not lying!"

"I'm not lying? I have been the King of Yan for 20 years. How much grain can be produced in Beiping? I don't know. Which year is it not relying on the transportation from the south? Even if I have the ability to increase some production, self-sufficiency is not enough, and I dare to talk about storing grain , do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

After being scolded by his father, Zhu Gaosui said bitterly: "This is not my business, but the second brother's. The farm in his hands is indeed not low."

Zhu Di still didn't believe it, "You are still deceiving me, I want to see for myself."

Zhu Di always kept his word, so he went directly to Kaipingwei to check the situation.

When Zhu Di looked around and came back, his face immediately sank, "Go and call Zhu Gaoxu to me."

Not long after, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was called over.

As soon as they met, Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Kneel down!"

Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned, after so many years, is this necessary?
In my memory, it was the wrong year name last time that made Zhu Di so angry. What kind of outrageous thing did he do now?

"Why do you lie about the grain yield per mu and deceive the king?"

Zhu Gaoxu expressed that he was wronged, "Father, the child did not deceive the emperor... The estimated yield per mu is between eight Dou and one stone, which is similar to the past few years, or even slightly less."

Zhu Di frowned, "Since the grain yield per mu has not increased, how did you get 300 million shi of stored grain? Aren't you deceiving the emperor?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, and then he gradually realized that the yield per mu has not increased, so it is impossible to have more grain. To say that there is 300 million shi of grain in reserve is a lie!
"That's not right!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head quickly, "Father, the child is true and did not deceive the emperor. This is clearly the father's miscalculation."

"You let it go..." Zhu Di was furious, "Zhu Gaoxu, if you can't tell me clearly, I will punish you according to the laws of the country!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, "Let's just say it, it's such a simple thing...the farms in Beiping can use slaves."

"How about using slaves? Can slaves produce more food?"

"Slaves can't produce more food, but they can eat less food!" Zhu Gaoxu eloquently said.

"Eat less? What do you mean?" Zhu Di was taken aback.

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, his father really doesn't think like a businessman.

"A slave has no family."

Zhu Di was startled, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is to use slaves. You don't have to think about feeding their families, at least for the time being. As long as you can feed them alone, that's all. There are a lot of livestock here in Beiping, and there are plenty of cattle and horses. A slave is worth a head Farming cattle can cultivate about [-] mu of land."

Zhu Gaoxu patiently settled the accounts for Zhu Di. The ration of a slave is about two stones, and the livestock is three times that of a human... That is to say, the yield of ten mu of land is enough to feed a cow and a person, and the remaining forty mu can feed a cow and a person. Take it out for sale.

Even with a [-]% discount, there are still [-] acres of yield, conservatively estimated, there are still [-] shi.

"Father, if you give a family fifty acres of land, how much tax and food can you pay?"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes. According to Ming's normal taxes, one mu of land only needs to pay five liters and three, and heavy rented land is only eight liters and five, all of which are less than one bucket.

Fifty acres of land can't harvest five shi grains.

Because the owner-peasant has to support his family and has to bear corvee.

If there are fewer people, there will be troubles.

"I probably understand that you will need a lot of land if you do this? Aren't you afraid it won't be enough?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Father, why is it not enough? You led the army to fight this time and beat the Mongolian tribes hard. Our people have already crossed the Great Wall and cultivated land. There is also Liaodong, which has more land!"

Zhu Di frowned, "You mean I'm fighting for you?"

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Father is for the people of Daming...These grains are also produced by Daming."

Zhu Di frowned, took a deep breath, and suddenly said loudly: "Since it belongs to Daming, then tell Benya Shili and Alutai that I will take them to visit Daming's granary!"
