Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 165 Fuck me?I will immediately cut off my own retreat! ([-]-in-[-])

In fact, in the Central Plains civilization, it is not just various ideas and the four great inventions that lead the world, but arithmetic is also the best in the world.

After the harvest in Yunnan, people who were interested quickly calculated the yield of the grain.

Corn can be at least twice that of rice and wheat, and potatoes are even more frightening, more than ten times.

According to Volume [-] of "Hejian Zhi": "A man cultivates fifty acres of land and can harvest more than one stone of wheat per mu."

"Bu Nong Shu" said: "The fields are extremely ripe, with three stones of rice and one and a half stones of spring flowers, but they are all there. Dayun has a total of three stones for Chang'er."

During the Ming Dynasty, one stone weighed about 150 jins, so the yield of rice was usually less than three shi, which was about [-] jins, while the yield of wheat was lower, with the yield per mu being about two shi, or about [-] jins. up and down.

But there is one thing. What is taken here is the yield of a single season, and the good land is taken, that is, the highest yield.

What does that mean?In fact, the south usually has two crops of rice, and there are still very few places that can grow three crops of rice. The yield of early rice is lower, but these figures are based on the yield of late rice with higher yield.

In other words, the actual production is not that high, and these data are even higher than the average.

But this is normal, especially in the court. This kind of thing happens frequently, and there are even more outrageous things than this. This is not a big deal.

The yield of potatoes in later generations could reach [-] to [-] kilograms, which is obviously unreachable in this era without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Zhu Zhanhe picked the best land and had it taken care of every day. The final yield per mu was only about a thousand catties.

This may be low for Zhu Zhanhe, but it is terrifying enough for others.

What?How do you think those people determined these grains?
First of all, in this era, the most important thing is food. With enough food and the right time, it is not impossible to overthrow a dynasty.

Zhu Zhanhe spent so much effort arranging for people to enter the shipping department, and the losses on this trip were so great. In the eyes of those people, this could not be anything else except food.

Even from the perspective of Huang Huai and others, this was already a precursor to the Han Dynasty's lineage starting to collect grain and rebel.

but!

It is a threat to Huang Huai and others, but what about Zhu Gaochi?Is it also a threat to him?
Don’t forget, in this world, everyone’s surname is Zhu.

……

Qianqing Palace.

"Is this news true?" Zhu Di is no longer as calm as usual, and his face is full of nervousness.

"Back to Your Majesty, the production volume has been confirmed, but whether it is food... this remains to be investigated."

"However, His Highness the King of Han is watching too closely. If we don't alert the snake, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, it's the same as before!" Zhu Di waved his hand and made a decision simply.

"Yes!" Ji Gang's heart thumped, and his evaluation of Han Wang and his son was even higher.

In the past, people always thought that if the King of Han died, they would lose the possibility of fighting for the throne. Although Zhu Zhanhe did several major things in succession, people's minds changed, but it was still not very thorough.

After all, Zhu Di's attitude is quite ambiguous and unpredictable.

You said he wanted the Hanwang lineage to be competitive, so he let the Hanwang lineage go, but you said he wanted the Hanwang lineage to have no chance at all, and he continued to give Hanwang preferential treatment.

And now, Ji Gang finally made the answer clear today.

If it were someone else who could repeatedly let things like food go, he would probably be taken over by the imperial court or die without a complete body.

Only the Han King lineage...

"By the way, how is the prince's side?" Zhu Di didn't know what Ji Gang was thinking, so he asked his question.

"Return to Your Majesty!" Ji Gang quickly retracted his thoughts, lowered his head and reported.

"Previously, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi went to see His Highness the Crown Prince after receiving news from Yunnan. Among them, Xie Jin and Huang Huai were more excited, while Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were relatively calm."

"As for His Highness the Crown Prince, he didn't react at all. Instead, he scolded Jie Jin and Huang Huai."

"Well, I understand, please step back."

"Yes!"

Ji Gang slowly exited the Qianqing Palace, and the chamberlains and maids guarding the door did not dare to enter casually.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Di sat alone on the chair that symbolized supreme power, holding his forehead in thought.

-

Henan, Zhangde Prefecture, the place where King Zhao Zhu Gaosui established his vassal status.

Putting the letter in his hand above the candlelight, Zhu Gaosui quietly watched it slowly turn into ashes.

"Second brother, you are really good..."

"But are you sure you can do it?"

"If there was no Zhan He, and the current Zhan He is probably..."

……

Japanese country, Bo Qi.

As the temperature slowly warmed up, Zhu Zhanhe's pushing speed slowed down, not because he didn't want to go faster, nor because the soldiers' morale was low, but because he had no choice but to do it.

He had previously slaughtered all the nobles and samurai class in Iwami, and the great feudal lords in Iwami were naturally gone. Iwami Yinshan became a piece of fat without an owner in the eyes of other great Japanese feudal lords.

What?Ming army?

Give me a break!Can they stay here forever?I am afraid that at this stage, no one in the world knows more clearly than the Japanese country about how costly cross-border and cross-sea operations are.

After all, the Japanese invasion of North Korea and the Ming Dynasty were all caused by them.

Therefore, those great feudal lords planned to gather together and use collective strength to attack the Ming army, so that the Ming army would retreat in the face of difficulties, and then they would carve up Shi Jian Yin Shan.

But unexpectedly, they mistakenly substituted the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty during their time as Japanese pirates.

When they plundered the Ming Dynasty's sea territory, they did it by surprise. They took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's Japanese army to react and left after looting. But what about now?

The soldiers of the Ming Army were on alert every night. Once there was a war, they would be able to jump into the battlefield with what can be said to be the fastest reaction speed of mankind.

This is the origin of Kyokan beside Lake Shinchi.

But these are not Zhu Zhanhe's original intentions, because what he wants now is to squeeze the value of the Japanese people as much as possible.

In Iwami, he made Japanese people work as miners and mine silver mines for the Ming Dynasty; in the places where he first landed, Hizen, Higo and Toyozen, he let Japanese people farm, and then "unintentionally" lost control of these places. .

Then, the great feudal lords in Okuma, Hyuga, Higo and other places would fight back. After occupying the places "lost" by the Ming army, they would recruit troops and collect grain.

Then, the Ming army responded by killing the dignitaries and samurai class, taking the Japanese army's supplies and weapons and equipment as seizures, and "liberating" the Japanese people.

This is a sustainable development plan, which is Zhu Zhanhe's purpose, and the temple at Lake Shinji obviously does not meet this plan.

"His Royal Highness!" Just when Zhu Zhanhe was thinking about a solution, Zhu Ling's voice came in, but his words were full of anxiety.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Letter from His Highness the King of Han!"

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanhe frowned, and then quickly relaxed.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Zhanhe opened it and glanced at it twice, then threw it aside.

Nothing much, just his father told him about the current situation in Yunnan. The most important thing is that the seeds have been harvested, and the second is that Siam is a little restless.

Before Zhu Zhanhe escorted Chen Jikuan to Yingtian, he deliberately let his grandson go. Zhu Zhanhe originally thought that the child would not survive, after all, he was alone in that kind of place.

But unexpectedly, the child somehow ended up in Siam.

Siam did not make any big moves, but the acceptance of Chen Jikuo's grandson was enough to alert Mu Sheng. However, since Zhu Zhanhe was not in Yunnan, he could only tell Zhu Gaoxu the news, and Zhu Gaoxu passed it on to Zhu Gaoxu. Look at the valley.

Zhu Zhanhe took up his pen and quickly wrote two letters and handed them to Zhu Ling.

"Send this letter to home, and this letter to Yingtian."

"Ying Tian?" Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then asked in an uncertain tone.

"Your Highness, what you mean by Yingtian is..."

"You can send it to Grandpa Huang, or to your uncle." Zhu Zhanhe said without raising his head.

"Don't worry too much, it doesn't matter if others see it."

"Yes!" After receiving a definite answer, Zhu Ling left.

"Huh..." Zhu Zhanhe let out a long breath.

"Zhu Ping! Come in!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Where is the Japanese who knows Chinese from before? Let him find some Japanese people, give them money, and ask them to go to Inaba, Meizuo and other places to buy some things for us."

"Ah?" Zhu Ping was stunned.

"Ah what? Just go if I tell you to!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes angrily. Recently, he found that his two guards were talking more and more. However, his recent behavior was becoming more and more unexpected.

But there's nothing he can do about it. It's a pleasure to commit suicide now. From the beginning of the Eastern Conquest of Japan to the present, the number of new dead souls under his name has been 50 or not 40.

That's it, a conservative estimate.

Now that he has entered a period of calm, he has begun to plan for greater profits, especially to prepare for the future of Sado Jinshan.

That golden mountain has not been discovered yet, but it is a good thing and will be an important part of Zhu Zhanhe's plan in the future.

Yinshan gave in, Jinshan had to give it a try, even if he could only get part of it.

But precisely because of this, many of the orders he gave were incomprehensible. After all, the ideas of those soldiers were relatively simple, and they were only interested in military merit.

For example, this time, he asked Zhu Ping to select some Japanese people to help the Ming army purchase. Does the Ming army need their procurement?
Since the last time Zhu Zhanhe broke into the North Korean palace and forced Li Fangyuan to hand over the crown prince Li Bao, no one in North Korea or the Ming Dynasty dared to provoke Zhu Zhanhe again.

What happened to Li Fangyuan made everyone know that if you dare to force Zhu Zhanhe to retreat, he really dares to do it to you.

This time it was Li Fangyuan. He was the leader of a country. If it had been anyone else, someone would have put incense on your grave for the first anniversary.

In addition, Zhu Gaosui has also passed away. Who dares to cut off Zhu Zhanhe's supplies?

But there is no shortage of supplies, so why should the Japanese people help the Ming army purchase them?What else should I purchase?Let alone Zhu Ping, I'm afraid not everyone understands.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe wanted the Japanese people to spread the news. Although he didn't say it, as long as he worked in the mines, he could be exempted from taxes and get paid. This kind of life was already the most popular among ordinary people. The good life is gone.

Although Zhu Zhanhe never mentioned it, if these people went to other places, some of them would definitely not be able to help but talk about it with the locals.

Over time, the news will spread, and the resistance to Zhu Zhanhe's subsequent advancement will become smaller, and it will be easier to make those Japanese people absent from work in the future.

Last time he asked the soldiers to spread the news, which caused some losses to the Ming army. Zhu Zhanhe did not want to make the same mistake again this time.

"Come here! Liu Sheng and Wang Jinghong are here to see me!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe felt that he could start to prepare. Now that he is in Boqi, his next target must be Inaba, and the Shenji Battalion and fleet will come in handy at that time.

……

Yingtian Mansion, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di looked at the letter sent back from Zhu Zhanhe with a dull expression on his face.

Although he had long thought that the things grown in Yunnan before were food, he habitually put them aside until he got a definite answer.

Now, he has received confirmation from Zhu Zhanhe himself. Although the impact he received at this time was smaller, it was still unbearable for ordinary people.

Imagine if one day, Ming Dynasty's overall grain production increased five to six times or even more, what would that look like?
There is no doubt that the first priority is the stability of the country.

In the early years of Yongle, rebellions broke out everywhere. Almost every year, people started to rise up. What was the reason?Except for a few people at the top who are doing it for power and money, most of the others are doing it for food.

Grain production has increased, and the people are satisfied with the rule of the imperial court. This situation may not completely disappear, but it will definitely be reduced a lot.

After all, the people's ideas are simple. All they want is to have enough food, clothing and clothing, and to raise one or two children. This is what they want in life.

After getting food and clothing, people rarely do things like uprising that are very likely to lose their lives and may cause them to not have enough to eat.

You know, even if we count the past dynasties, there are very few things that can keep the people fed and clothed in the entire history. Those can be recorded in the annals of history, such as the Wenjing rule.

Secondly, the increase in food production will also drive population growth.

Grain production has increased, and people's families have a surplus. The first thing they consider is passing on the family line.

For the Ming Dynasty, the increase in population meant that productivity would increase and the number of soldiers would increase.

Finally, there is the war aspect.

The increase in grain production will lead to an increase in population and will provide new sources of troops for the Ming Dynasty. Although the cycle is long, it is worth looking forward to. In addition, there is another very important issue: supply.

With sufficient supplies, the Ming Dynasty will attack anyone who dares to jump around like a Tatar!

It is no exaggeration to say that with this high-yielding food, Zhu Di is confident that he can defeat any country in the world!
Some people may think that Zhu Di is overthinking these things now. After all, the things are still in Yunnan, and Zhu Gaoxu is watching closely, but he is the emperor.

Without giving an order, Zhu Gaoxu had to deliver the things to him. Even if it was unwillingly, even if Zhu Gaoxu was full of dissatisfaction, could he still disobey the emperor's order?
Besides, Zhu Zhanhe had already said in his letter that after enough seeds are cultivated in Yunnan, some of them will be sent to Yingtian.

All things considered, this is the best approach.

This kind of self-destructive approach will confuse everyone.
