Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 299 Is it a mediocrity or a foresight?
Most things in the world are easy to destroy and harder to build.

This is the situation Zhu Zhanhe is facing now.

At the beginning, he spent seven years to plunge the Timur Empire into a man-made disaster of no harvest. This disaster brought not only a reduction in population but also the depletion of various resources to the Timur Empire.

The first is land resources.

Soil fertility has declined, and it cannot be restored overnight. There are no chemical fertilizers in this era, so we can only use compost and plant ash to restore it.

Followed by resources such as forests and trees.

People in later generations no longer have the concept of famine, and there are even alternative opinions about "why not eat minced meat". For example, during ancient times of famine, why not go to the river to catch fish.

In fact, whether it was due to drought, floods or harvest disasters caused by Zhu Zhanhe, when famine came, people had to eat whatever they could.

Even the bark and grass roots are not spared. How could the fish in the river be spared?
A large number of hungry victims ate everything they could, almost as if locusts were crossing the border.

Finally, there is the water source.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe did not think so far ahead at first, but when reality came, he discovered that the disaster he caused was like an opened Pandora's box, triggering a series of disasters.

The Timurid Empire was not a good place in the first place. Deserts and plateaus accounted for the vast majority of the places, and now there is a tendency to deteriorate.

But Zhu Zhanhe didn't care. What he wanted now was to stabilize the whole world. To put it grandly, it meant that it would no longer be a threat to the Han people. To put it more selfishly, it would mean that it would no longer pose a threat to himself.

As for the prevention and control of desertification, let’s wait until the whole world has calmed down, or even merged into one.

……

Astrakhan.

"Your Highness, the first batch of grain seeds has arrived in Phoenix and has been handed over to the Mu family for processing."

Zhu Zhanhe sat back on the chair, lighting the stove, squinting his eyes and listening to Jian Xiao's report.

"As for the slave issue you mentioned before, the Mu family has selected the first batch of 4000 slaves. They will return to Xiangzhou Prefecture with the fleet transporting grain seeds. They will disembark in Dhaka before arriving in Xiangzhou Prefecture. .”

"at last……"

Jian Xiao closed the folding book in her hand and looked at Zhu Zhanhe, with a respectful look in her eyes...a sigh.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is asking you if you want to go back to celebrate the New Year this year."

"I'm not going back." Zhu Zhanhe opened his eyes, stood up and walked towards his desk.

"There are too many things going on here, and they are different from before. I don't feel comfortable leaving them to you."

"By the way, what happened to the stuff I asked you to prepare from Xiangzhou Mansion?"

"Return to His Majesty the Crown Prince." Jian smiled and sighed silently.

"It has been sent back to Xiangzhou Mansion. I think there will be news next time the fleet returns."

"Implement it as early as possible without delay."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanhe picked up his pen and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Jian Xiao.

"This is a supplement. Let people send it back as well."

"Yes!"

……

Seeing Jian Xiao leave, Zhu Zhanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

People tend to ignore many things when they are nervous, and the same is true for Zhu Zhanhe.

In fact, the plague, especially the Black Death, sounds scary, but the Black Death that is raging in Europe is not difficult to solve. The reason why the Black Death can cause so much harm to Europe and even Central Asia is entirely because of people. Caused by ignorance.

Yes, Europe, which was said to be the most advanced in thinking in later generations, was actually a very ignorant place in history.

What is the origin of the Black Death?
To put it bluntly, the Black Death is parasitic on fleas, and fleas are parasitic on mice, but medieval Europe hated cats, because the church put hats on cats as the incarnation of Satan, and people began to kill cats in large numbers.

In the biological chain, if there are fewer cats, there will be more rats. If there are more rats, there will be more fleas. If there are more fleas, there will be more plague viruses.

Westerners of later generations seem to have an innate sense of superiority, but in fact hundreds of years ago, they were a group of idiots, even uncivilized beasts whose minds were controlled by the church.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanhe was very nervous because he knew that the plague would last in Europe for more than three hundred years. As soon as he entered Astrakhan, he had people use alcohol to clean all kinds of dark places at all costs. corner.

Now that he has calmed down, he has thought of many ways.

In fact, the plague virus is not terrible. There are many ways to kill it, because the plague virus is actually a very sensitive existence. It is sensitive to antibiotics, disinfectants, and even high temperature commonly used in later generations.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to burn Astrakhan directly, but he felt that the gain was not worth the loss, because high temperature can kill almost all viruses. If it cannot, then the temperature is not high enough.

But in fact, many methods such as quicklime are also effective.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but patted his head with a headache.

It can be said that the Black Death ravaged the entire Europe, and even spread to Central Asia for a time. In the future, will I have to carry out large-scale disinfection every time I conquer a city?
A long sigh came from Zhu Zhanhe's room, making Zhu Ling and Zhu Pingping who were guarding the door look at each other.

However, Zhu Zhanhe didn't know that thousands of miles away in Shuntian Mansion, a father and son were also worried like him.

……

Sunchon Mansion, Imperial Palace, Wenhua Palace.

Today, Wenhua Hall is in a very busy scene, because the New Year is coming soon, but they are not busy because of the New Year, but for another thing.

After the New Year, the Yongle Dynasty will be completely over, and the Yongle era name will only appear in the history books and completely become a memory.

After the New Year, the reign name of the Ming Dynasty will be changed from Yongle to Hongxi. Emperor Hongxi of the Ming Dynasty will officially and legitimately be in charge of everything in the Ming Dynasty, including the reign name.

After the New Year, everything in the Zhu family will move forward a level.

However, not being able to survive the New Year is not what Zhu Gaochi is thinking about now. What he is thinking about now, or should be said to have a headache, is one person.

As the grain seeds and slaves Zhu Zhanhe needed traveled between the Suez area and Xiangzhou Prefecture, Zhu Yunwen was also sent to Shuntian Prefecture.

In fact, even though Zhu Zhanhe didn't care much about Zhu Yunwen or even had any thoughts about him, in fact, this person was very difficult for Zhu Di's family to deal with.

No matter who it is, even if the old man is reincarnated, it will still be difficult to deal with.

"Dad..." Zhu Zhanji, who was now the crown prince, looked at his father with a look of hesitation on his face.

"What... are you going to do?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed heavily after hearing this.

what to do?He also wanted to know.

killed?no.

At the beginning, the old man ordered Fengtian Jingnan under the banner of "There are no honest ministers in the court, and there are traitors and traitors in the court, so we must raise troops to punish them in order to clear the emperor's side."

What does this sentence mean?The general meaning is that there are no good people in the court, the emperor has been deceived by the bad people, and I want to raise troops to eliminate the treacherous ministers around the emperor.

The implication is that the emperor is right, but those treacherous ministers are wrong. After all, in the era of family rule, the emperor is the emperor, how can he be wrong?

When the old man raised his troops to attack Yingtian Mansion, Emperor Jianwen was nowhere to be found, but the country could not be left without an owner for a day, so the old man could only "take advantage of the situation" and ascend the throne.

But now, the rightful owner of the country as determined by Emperor Taizu Gao has returned, and when Fengtian Jingnan said that the emperor was right and the ministers were wrong, they naturally could not kill Zhu Yunwen.

After all, your father, Emperor Yongle, said at the beginning that the emperor was right, and you were on the Qing emperor's side when it came to Fengtian Jingnan. How could you kill the emperor who was right?

Why not kill?
Let’s not talk about whether the old man’s request for peace was just for the throne. That was the old man’s idea, and it was impossible for others to know clearly. But in this matter, no matter whether the old man had that idea at the beginning or not, the ending was actually the same.

If so, it would be impossible to give up the throne, let alone the fact that the old man has passed away and the emperor in charge is Zhu Gaochi, the Hongxi Emperor.

If not, it's impossible.

One is that Zhu Gaochi is not his father Zhu Di, and the other is that the original lineage of King Yan has governed the world for more than 20 years, how could he be willing to hand it over to a man who has been a monk for more than [-] years.

third……

Everyone has desires and selfish motives.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

After becoming an emperor, who would want to go back and become a vassal king?Moreover, you were once sworn enemies. How can you be sure that if you give up the throne to someone else, they won't get rid of you?
"Alas..." Zhu Gaochi, who had been thinking about it all day, sighed softly, and turned to look at his son.

"Have everyone... been arranged?"

He did not lie to anyone about this matter. Even Jin Yiwei didn't know that Zhu Gaochi left it to his son to handle it.

At this time, in this matter, he believed no one except his own son.

"It's all arranged." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"I arranged for him to stay in the mansion built by the emperor's grandfather for his second uncle. No one would approach there, let alone go in..."

Zhu Gaochi suddenly raised his head when he heard this, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at his son.

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi sighed softly and finally looked back.

What my son did...

It is indeed not glorious, but it can really eliminate all possibilities. Even if an accident occurs, they have an excuse to escape from the vortex and prevent dirty water from touching them.

"Get ready, I'll see him."

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything about his son's actions, because it was unnecessary and it was already too late.

The top priority now is how to deal with this person.

As for whether his nephew sent this person here with the intention of making it difficult for him, Zhu Gaochi didn't think too much about it.

Because he could tell at a glance that Zhu Zhanhe didn't have that idea.

The reason is very simple. Zhu Zhanhe quietly asked people to bring Zhu Yunwen back. He didn't even let anyone check him when he arrived at Tongzhou Pier. Instead, he insisted on being reported to the palace, saying that there was a very important person. If you want to come, you will not be able to see it unless you are the emperor.

Zhu Gaochi didn't pass, but he let Zhu Zhanji, the current crown prince of Ming Dynasty, pass.

Therefore, not many people know about Zhu Yunqi's arrival, and after more than 20 years, Zhu Yunqi's face has not changed much, but people's memory takes time to mobilize.

I haven't thought about this person for too long. In addition, Zhu Yunwen has aged a lot and still appears as a monk. It is difficult for people to associate him with him in a short period of time.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi did not think that his nephew was deliberately making things difficult for him.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi felt that his nephew was doing it for the good of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yunwen was so special. Even if Zhu Zhanhe didn't use him, he could just bring him to the Ming Dynasty and throw him away anywhere. It can bring a big storm to Daming.

However, just because he thinks so does not mean that everyone thinks so.

At the very least, Zhu Gaochi knew that his son didn't think so.

　I coded a chapter and sent it out first, because in Europe, no matter how careful you are in hiding, it will still involve some things that are not easy to pass the review. I slowly tried to test it out.

In addition, it’s the last day of the month, so don’t keep your monthly pass, it will expire! ! !
