Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 404 On the Coal Mountain
Although the victory of the so-called defense of Rome was achieved, the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire did not take the next step.

In fact, although Rome and even civilians throughout Europe are celebrating the victory of this defense battle, the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire have not let down their vigilance because of this.

They knew the strength of the Ming army, and they also knew what information they had concealed from their people before, so they didn't think that the Ming army was the five scum of war.

But it's useless for them to think so, the key is that the people don't think so.

Two victories, one wiped out [-] enemies, and the other wiped out [-] enemies.

7 people, this is already a big victory in the minds of Europeans. If it is pushed forward a few decades, it will be a victory enough to destroy a country.

Under such circumstances, those idiots whose thoughts were ruled by the Holy See and the ruling class were clamoring to fight back, but they were finally suppressed by the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire on the grounds that it was not appropriate to send troops in winter.

But people like Martin V and Sigismund did not relax because of this, because they knew very well that their vigilance was indeed an important condition leading to the victory of the war, but it was not the only condition.

If the people don't correct their attitude, they will still underestimate the enemy when fighting the Ming army, and the bitter fruit of the final defeat will still be stuffed into their mouths.

However, they didn't know that the man who caused turmoil in Europe and even put everyone in the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire at risk was no longer in Europe.

……

Xiangzhou Prefecture.

After getting on the boat, he bid farewell to his younger brother Zhu Zhanqi who had just rushed back from Shuntian Mansion. Zhu Zhanqi set sail again and headed towards Shuntian Mansion.

After Mu Bin's defeat in Constantinople was settled, Zhu Zhanhe left Junbao and came to Xiangzhou Prefecture.

It took a full month on the way, but the whole of Europe didn't know that he had left.

The reason why he left Europe was mainly for three things, two of which were necessary and one was incidental.

The first thing to do was Ah San from Nanzhou Prefecture.

The Nanzhou capital sits on the Indus River and the Ganges River Plain. Even in later generations, Asan is also the largest rice exporter.

Although the huge export volume has caused a full [-] million of them to be hungry, and the actual number may be even more, but the status of the number one rice exporter confirms the productivity of this land.

It is naturally impossible for Zhu Zhanhe to hand over such a piece of land to Ah San, even if it is the same as setting fire to the Indochina Peninsula back then, he must hold this piece of land in his own hands.

Therefore, he came to Xiangzhou Mansion as the first stop, talked about it with his younger brother Zhu Zhanqi, and made some strategies against Ah San.

In fact, it's nothing, it's nothing more than picking a few from those plans that have been rotten, such as tax collection, business, etc., slowly scraping Ah San's flesh and blood.

It can be subtly influenced, and it is naturally the best to let Ah San contribute food while working hard for himself. After all, the benefits are maximized. If not, take it slowly. It's fine to solve it in one fell swoop.

As for the population issue, Zhu Zhanhe hadn't actually worried about it.

Whether it is the Central Plains or the Indochina Peninsula, due to the "peace" and high food production in recent years, they have entered an era of small population explosions, which is normal.

People in this era, at the beginning, think about how to eat enough. After they are full, they think about marrying a wife and having children. After they can feed their children, they think about having more children.

Therefore, when the conditions of peace, food and clothing and warmth exist at the same time, it is the time when the population explodes.

The matter in Nanzhou Prefecture cannot be resolved in one or two years. No matter how fast it will take seven or eight years or even ten years, this time is enough for the population base to grow.

Besides, the population explosion means the reduction of resources. At that time, the competitiveness will increase, and there will be fewer and fewer things to eat. This is one of the causes of chaos.

It is a necessary move to get rid of some people who don't need to exist, or who are not our own people, and make enough space and resources for our own people.

Think about it, isn't that how the English treated the Indians when they immigrated to North America?

As for the second thing Zhu Zhanhe had to do, it was the one thing that was given to Zhu Zhanqi, his younger brother.

train.

It has been more than half a year, and Zhu Zhanhe did not receive any news from his younger brother when he was in Europe, which means that the train test must have been unsuccessful.

Although Zhu Zhanhe has left a lot of relevant information on this matter, he is very clear that the final success of the train may still have to be done by himself.

There is an old saying that many things are actually separated by a layer of window paper, which can be seen through once poked.

But in fact, in many cases, this layer of window paper is only for those who understand. For those who do not understand, this layer of window paper is more difficult to overcome than a hundred thousand mountains.

Therefore, he simply stayed in Xiangzhou Mansion for three days this time, and dealt with some problems in this area as quickly as possible.

As for the third thing...

In fact, it is still related to the train, but the train can only be said to be an item in this category, because the matter he wants to solve is called education.

The successful implementation of Gongyang Studies actually represented the entry of Ming Dynasty into a new era, but this era is still not the era Zhu Zhanhe wanted, or it can only be regarded as a transitional era.

What he wants may not be an era in which all people are enlightened, but an era in which certain talents can be provided for development.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe came up with an idea.

The birth of the imperial examination can actually be traced back to the examination system in the Western Han Dynasty. As for many people who say that the Sui Dynasty was the era of perfect imperial examinations, this is actually wrong.

The imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty can only be regarded as an advanced step of the examination system. He continued the recommendation system of the examination system.

In fact, if there is such a requirement, the imperial examination cannot be regarded as an imperial examination, because it does not give ordinary people a channel for promotion.

Therefore, the imperial examination system originated from the imperial examination system in the Western Han Dynasty, was established in the Tang Dynasty, was perfected in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Zhu Zhanhe feels that since the imperial examination system is constantly improving, and there have been special imperial examinations such as military examinations in the middle, it is not impossible to improve the current imperial examinations.

He wanted to create a unique imperial examination that was different from history, and this imperial examination cultivated the talents he wanted, not scholars in the traditional sense.

This requires him to go to Shuntian Mansion.

However, before he started to realize his idea, Zhu Zhanhe caused a huge commotion just after he arrived in Shuntian Mansion.

There is no other reason. In the past year, especially in the second half of the year, the news related to Zhu Zhanhe... was actually not very good.

The people at the bottom do want to resist, but what they want to resist is the chaos of war. After entering the peace period, they will be the first to resist the war.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe, who still had to fight everywhere after entering the peace period, could not win the hearts of the people.

On this basis, plus the fact that the news from Europe did not reach the ears of ordinary people, and the court...or the lineage of King Wu did not come out to clarify, so all kinds of rumors became more and more outrageous.

Why did Zhu Zhanhe, a warmonger, suffer retribution, and lost consecutive battles in Europe, and even the news of his death in Europe spread.

Later, Zhu Zhanhe, who didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year, undoubtedly convinced people of the "authenticity" of the news.

And now, Zhu Zhanhe's sudden appearance in Shuntian Mansion undoubtedly made those news self-defeating.

But at the same time, this also caused a huge shock.

This person is a bitch, just like a child, you know it's wrong to watch TV before you finish your homework, but you can't help it, forget it, and turn it off when your parents come back.

As a result, as soon as your parents touched the temperature of the TV, they knew that you had peeked at it again, and the result was still unavoidable.

In fact, not only children are like this, adults are like this too.

When Zhu Zhanhe, who once intimidated the barbarians and made corrupt officials and profiteers in the world dare not reach out, was not in the Central Plains, they were eager to make moves, and even as soon as Zhu Zhanhe left, they started to repeat the old tricks again.

But when Zhu Zhanhe came back again, they were also the ones who were frightened and begged for gods and Buddhas every day.

However, Zhu Zhanhe right now doesn't have the time to talk to them.

Push forward 18 years, even though Zhu Zhanhe was only 11 years old at that time, he would still spare no effort to solve these problems, even if it was pushed back ten years, he would still do it.

But now, these things are really not his concern.

The world is so big, the dynasty is so big, and the foundation is so big, he can't worry about it alone.

Back in Shuntian Mansion, he first went to the palace to meet his parents, then went to Changling to pay homage to the old man, and reported to the old man his achievements in the past year.

Finally, back to the palace, he went to meet his cousin.

……

Long Live Mountain.

I don't know how long it has been since the two cousins ​​sat together calmly again, drinking wine and watching the scenery.

In Zhu Zhanhe's memory, the last time this scene happened in Yingtian Mansion was when he returned to Yingtian Mansion to celebrate the New Year not long after he followed his father to Yunnan Province.

"It's really decided?" After pouring a glass of wine for his cousin, Zhu Zhanhe's tone remained calm.

"Well, it's decided." Zhu Zhanji's tone was also quite flat, as if he was not talking about his own life or death.

"When I get to my... well, I don't want anything extravagant anymore, I just want Qi Zhen to grow up well."

"Really..." Zhu Zhanhe was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and laughed.

It's really not Zhu Zhanhe's nonsense, if he stays in Shuntian, and Zhu Zhanji and his wife agree to hand over Zhu Qizhen to him for education, then it is still possible.

But King Wu's lineage is going to withdraw from Shuntian, this Zhu Qi Town...

To be honest, Sun Ruowei in history taught Zhu Qizhen to be a waste, and Sun Ruowei now is not much better.

Thinking about the way Sun Ruowei looked at him when he entered the Qingning Palace, the eyes mixed with regret, regret, despair and evil, Zhu Zhanhe felt that this girl couldn't teach anything interesting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe raised his head and looked around.

This Long Live Mountain, in the north of the imperial palace, outside of Xuanwu Gate, is the royal garden of Ming Dynasty, but this Long Live Mountain has another name.

Coal Mountain.

The coal mountain where Zhu Youjian, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself.
