Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Coming out of the literary building, Zhu Gaochi was in a good mood.

In fact, as long as they come from Beiping Mansion, whether it is Emperor Zhu Di, Prince Zhu Gaochi, or other officials.

After seeing the development of Beiping Prefecture, they all had a deep understanding and impulse towards using construction to drive economic development, and they all saw its power.

After all, this is not only the case in Beiping Mansion, it is even more obvious that the construction of Goryeo Yan State has boosted the economic situation.

Now, with his father's consent, Zhu Gaochi can do it much more smoothly, at least he doesn't have to tie his hands and feet!
And in the Wen Building.

As Zhu Gaochi went out, Zhu Di thought for a long time and then shouted directly: "Yi Shiha!"

"His Majesty!"

Yi Shiha quickly stood up.

"Send a message to the Japanese country and ask them to dig out more silver and forge more pig iron. If there is enough to load the ship, then bring it to the capital!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha responded quickly and walked out quickly.

"I hope the train can bring some surprises to Daming!"

Zhu Di looked at the empty palace door and murmured to himself.

……

Soon, it will be the autumn harvest.

Even the capital was busy.

Guo An took some of his guards and went directly to the experimental field to help harvest the rice.

This year's rice production has increased again. I don't know whether it's because of sufficient rain, or because of too much fertilizer, or for some other reason.

"Report it!"

After hearing Guo Ang's joyful report, Guo An said directly without thinking.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo Ang responded hurriedly.

As for whether someone would jump up and curse him behind his back because of this matter, Guo An didn't consider it at all.

Not to mention whether they dare to resent Guo An, even if a few of them actually come to trouble Guo An because of this matter, even if they say unpleasant things behind his back.

There is no need for Guo An's Shunde Guards, Jinyi Guards, and the imperial court to destroy those families first.

"The yield per mu is 600 kilograms?"

Zhu Di couldn't help being surprised when he heard the report from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!"

Yu Xin's face had wrinkled into a chrysanthemum because of his joy.

"Your Majesty, when the Prince of Shunde and the four Viscounts of the Guo family were improving the seeds, I kept watching.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, improved rice varieties could actually increase the rice yield to 600 kilograms per mu, which is almost doubled! "

Zhu Di glanced at Yu Xin, and he agreed with the improvement of rice.

However, I was still a little uneasy and continued to ask: "This year, how is the rice yield per mu in the fields around the capital?"

Speaking of this, Yu Xin was even more excited.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have sent people to do statistics. At least 80% of the rice in the fields can achieve a yield of more than 500 kilograms per mu!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was even more satisfied.

……

Day two.

Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi out of the palace in person and went to the Jiangjun Mountain experimental field.

"I have met with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing Zhu Di, Guo An quickly brought Guo Shen, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen and Guo Shanyuan over to see him.

As for Bao Zhao, he followed closely behind.

"Guo Qing doesn't need to be so polite!"

This time, Zhu Di was very gentle.

However, after seeing Bao Zhao, Zhu Di was stunned.

"Bao Qing, what's going on?"

Bao Zhao, who was originally fair and chubby, turned completely black this time, resembling an old farmer.

Bao Zhao replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am also learning how to plant and cultivate food!"

"Bao Qing also learns this?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say anything more.

Isn't it because of these rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn that he, the emperor, ran away from the palace with the prince?
As for Bao Zhao, naturally he didn't think much and just laughed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't sit still when I see all this food!"

"It's good if you can't sit still. These grains are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di sighed and walked straight into the fields.

Guo An and others hurriedly followed Zhu Di.

However, originally a large area of ​​golden rice had been harvested and reached the rice threshing field, but now there were only a few different fields left in the large experimental field.

Zhu Di's purpose was to see these.

After walking for a long time, Zhu Di pointed to the large withered yellow field and asked: "Guo Qing, can these sweet potatoes and potatoes be dug out?"

Guo An quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted early, and they can be dug now!"

Zhu Di chased after him and asked, "When are you going to dig?"

Guo An replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am going to wait until the rice is completely put into the granary and the people are free to start digging again!"

Zhu Di asked again: "If it rains, will these sweet potatoes and potatoes be affected?"

"This……"

Guo An thought for a while, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Reporting to Your Majesty, if it doesn't rain heavily, it should be fine.

If it rains heavily for several days in a row, it should have an impact! "

"That won't do!"

Zhu Di said directly, "Just leave those rice to some people to harvest it.

These sweet potatoes and potatoes are our Ming Dynasty’s treasures, so we can’t let anything go wrong! "

Guo Anruo nodded with understanding, "Your Majesty, I will ask the guards from the palace to come out for two hundred households, and then ask some people from the village to come out and give guidance."

"Let your Shunde guard dig sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

Zhu Di stopped and looked at Guo An.

"Your Majesty, that's right."

"There won't be any complaints behind their backs?"

"Your Majesty, there will definitely be complaints, but they don't dare to complain."

After saying that, Guo An looked at Guo An with expectation.

"Your Majesty, how about giving each person a sweet potato? Or a potato?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's expression condensed and he looked at Guo An angrily, "Is this your evil idea?"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Guo An hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you promised Wei Chen last year that after this batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted this year, some will be given to Wei Chen's house."

"Did I say that?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An solemnly.

"I told you, I told you!"

Guo An nodded repeatedly, "You have so many things to do, you have forgotten it a long time ago!"

After a long while, Zhu Di nodded slowly, "If so, then I'll give you some!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An was overjoyed.

Immediately, he called Xu Yong over and began to give instructions.

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi had also spontaneously gone to call for help.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi looked at this scene with a strange expression. It seems that these sweet potatoes and potatoes were all found by my teacher, and these fields also belong to my teacher.

The cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes is also done by teachers.

Now, his father is so confident?

It seems that I still have a lot to learn in the future!

Thinking about it, Xu Yong had already walked over with more than two hundred guards.

Everyone had put down their swords, guns, and armor. They were only wearing thin linen clothes and holding various farm tools.

Under the command of Xu Yong, everyone entered the fields with great courage and began to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes.

A farmer teaches more than ten soldiers.

Many of these soldiers were from common people, and they quickly learned how to peel sweet potatoes and potatoes.

then.

The entire field suddenly became filled with dust.

These guards had accumulated strength for several months and finally had a place to call upon.

So, one by one, it was as if they were plowing the ground. Instead of digging out a trench as the farmers had taught them, they dug out a trench from one side and then dug through it one by one to ensure that no sweet potato or potato was damaged.

Naturally, not one will be missed.

Guo An, on the other hand, took Zhu Di to the tomato field, picked a few red tomatoes, wiped them on his clothes, and then found a shady place with the wind, eating tomatoes and looking at the tomatoes. Soldiers are digging sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Watching, watching, Zhu Di started talking about some things.

"Guo Qing, although there have been some natural disasters in our country this year, it is still a bumper harvest."

Guo An said directly: "This is where His Majesty's benevolent government lies!"

The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued: "Thanks to the improvement of grain varieties, my Ming Dynasty has a lot of food this year.

The second place, as well as Jiaozhi, can transport a lot of food for the Ming Dynasty.

There are also those caravans who go to sea. When they come back one by one, they will bring one or two boatloads of food..."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Guo An directly raised his hands and congratulated.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said quietly: "Thanks to Guo Qing for all this!"

Guo An was startled, and his face was filled with fear, "These things can be accomplished not only because of His Majesty's trust and support for Wei Chen, but also because of Your Majesty's blessing and protection. Wei Chen dare not take credit!"

Zhu Di curled his lips with some contempt, "You flatter us all day long. If you didn't have these achievements, you would definitely be a sycophant!"

Guo An's face was full of ridicule.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi had become somewhat accustomed to it.

On the side, Guo Shen, Bao Zhao, Guo Bingyong, and Guo Zhi had expressions of surprise on their faces.

They didn't expect that His Majesty would trust Guo An so much. In front of them, he could say anything to Guo An, even as a friend.

Moreover, this Prince of Shunde, who has always been gentle and indifferent to fame and wealth, actually flatters His Majesty like this!
No wonder……

Zhu Di didn't know what these people were thinking and had no time to pay attention to it.

But as soon as the topic changed, he started to ask: "Guo Qing, our Ming Dynasty has abundant money and food, and we want to completely solve the problem of Oara. Who do you think we should send as commander?"

"This……"

Guo An's face suddenly tightened. Can he talk about this here?
However, it must be returned.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that Duke Wei and Duke Cao are both worthy commanders!"

"Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong?"

Zhu Di also frowned directly.

After a long while, he said, "If we, the imperial commander, go on a personal expedition..."

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Father, you absolutely must not do this!"

Before Zhu Di finished speaking, Guo An and Zhu Gaochi yelled anxiously.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's face darkened.

Guo An quickly explained, "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with a body of ten thousand gold, how can you be in such danger?

Moreover, our Ming Dynasty also has the martial arts of Cao Guogong and Wei Guogong. If you personally take command, doesn't it mean that our Ming Dynasty has no one to use? "

Zhu Gaochi also said hurriedly: "Yes, father, you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If you go to lead the army, it will definitely cause some turmoil!
Now, our Ming Dynasty is in the midst of great prosperity. If you are not in charge, I would be worried..."

"Humph, I see, it's just you who are worried, and you are no longer free!"

Zhu Di thought for a while and then snorted coldly.

Guo An and Zhu Gaochi explained themselves one after another.

Zhu Di didn't believe it, but he didn't say much.

What Guo An and Zhu Gaochi said makes sense. Now the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, good at conquering and fighting, and there are many generals with high reputations. Attacking a mere Oara is not worthy of him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, driving and conquering in person.

In this case, let Duke Wei go!

Thinking about it, Zhu Di didn't say anything more on this matter.

"Now, all the Japanese countries have surrendered to me, the Ming Dynasty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Guo An hurriedly congratulated.

"It's just that the Japanese are too poor. Half of them go hungry in winter!"

"Then let's transport some food to those Japanese from Daming!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di stared directly at Guo An, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, "Carrying food to those Japanese?"

As for Bao Zhao, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others on the side, their faces were full of surprise.

Those people are Japanese pirates!
Although the Ming Dynasty has captured the Japanese country, the people of the Ming Dynasty still hate the Japanese pirates very much.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded affirmatively.

Zhu Di asked again: "Does Guo Qing know that those Japanese were all heinous Japanese pirates in the past?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, I know this.

However, Wei Chen felt that those Japanese who had been Japanese pirates should have been cut into pieces by my Ming generals long ago.

Even the people behind the Japanese pirates were exterminated! "

Zhu Di nodded slightly, that was really the case.

However, I still felt a little reluctant to ask Daming to transport food to the Japanese.

"But, they are Japanese after all!"

Guo An smiled softly, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that those Japanese are actually a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong, and are even more cowardly than the Koreans.

Now my Ming Dynasty is better than theirs, and they treat me Ming Ming like a grandson meeting his grandpa! "

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but grin.

"If they dare to be disrespectful, kill them!"

Guo An said again, "Your Majesty, if the Ming Dynasty wants to mine and smelt iron, it still needs those Japanese people.

Only by feeding those Japanese and giving me the gold, silver and pig iron refined by the Ming Dynasty will there be more.

Now, my Ming Dynasty is not so short of food. If they get used to it, my Ming Dynasty will transport food to them.

In this way, I, the Ming Dynasty, can also use food to control them! "

"Use food to control..."

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.

Guo An added: "Your Majesty, we can actually select some strong ones from those Japanese and transport them to Nanyang and the West, so that they can continue to mine for my Ming Dynasty!"

"...You can think about this matter carefully!"

Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, then he felt a little moved.

The barbarians overseas were not easy to use for Ming Dynasty.

The people of the Ming Dynasty cannot continue to do life-saving work.

Japanese, just right!
