Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 63 Failure!

"To put it simply, it is to nationalize wool processing. This will not only enrich the national treasury through taxation, but most importantly, it can stimulate employment for a large number of people across the country and allow those poor people who have no land, no land and no future to come. Factory work.”

"At the same time, a garment factory corresponding to the wool processing factory was established to recruit female workers. The role of women must not be ignored. In my opinion, women in this country can also hold up half of the sky. If we want to build this country well, we must not ignore the role of women. Power." Yang Xian said.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was very risky to tell the truth that "women hold up half the sky".

If those bitter scholars heard about it, Yang Xian would be stabbed in the spine.

Yang Xian would only speak less scrupulously in front of Zhu Biao. After all, in his opinion, Zhu Biao was a gentleman in the true sense of the word.

He could say something to Zhu Biao, but that didn't mean he could say it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Similarly, he can only accomplish some things through Zhu Biao.

Xu Miaoyun on the side lit up when she heard the words "A woman can hold up half the sky" and looked at Yang Xian differently.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, then pondered for another moment before speaking.

"Bringing the wool processing business back to the imperial court is indeed the best choice."

Food, clothing and housing.

In ancient times the first two were the real key.

In the eyes of the common people, as long as you give me food to eat and clothes to wear, then you can do whatever you say, even if you are desperate, you can even rebel!

Therefore, we must not be careless when it comes to these two most fundamental things related to people's livelihood.

Yang Xian knew that Zhu Biao had listened to his words, and he continued: "I suggest setting up a special agency. All branch factories across the country will be directly supervised and inspected by the Yangzhou General Factory. Otherwise, when the time comes, the distinguished ministers from all over the country will Seeing such delicious food, everyone wants to get in on it."

"Good things have turned bad."

Yang Xian knew in his heart that it was the same in all dynasties. When officials became greedy, they could not care about the lives of the people.

Zhu Biao also thought of this problem.

He pondered for a moment and then said directly: "Okay, that's it. After all, this is your invention, and you donated it to the court out of righteousness. I don't think anyone will or dare to criticize it. "

This wool processing machine will obviously become an important weapon of the country in the future. The fact that it was directly agreed to be handed over to Yang Xian for supervision shows Zhu Biao's trust in him.

The next step is nothing more than some details, such as the location selection of branches in various locations, personnel allocation, daily management, and tax determination, etc.

These trivial things take time to grind out.

The most critical thing left is the source of the wool!

"My father and I have also considered this. Don't worry, Yang Qing, this Northern Expedition will be a great success. When the time comes, our Ming Dynasty's good men will bring back countless cattle and sheep." Zhu Biao said.

Yang Xian shook his head gently, Zhu Biao still thought about the matter too well.

Zhu Biao saw Yang Xian shaking his head and asked, "Why, Yang Qing is not optimistic about this Northern Expedition?"

"The Northern Expedition cannot solve the fundamental problem." Yang Xian directly concluded.

If he remembered correctly, a total of eight Northern Expeditions were launched during the entire Hongwu period, although they were almost always victorious.

But it's the same every time. It won't be long before the grassland forces come back and start disturbing the border.

Unless it is to completely conquer the northern grasslands, it is obviously impossible to do so given the Ming's national strength.

"Of course I am not optimistic about this Northern Expedition."

Yang Xian glanced at Xu Miaoyun who was standing aside and said: "The person who knows Bei Yuan best is definitely Wei Guogong. In this regard, Cao Guogong is still inferior. And if I remember correctly, the pioneer officer this time is Lan Yu. "Lanyu is indeed not a good person. He offended Yang Qing before, but to be honest, I still recognize his ability to lead troops in war." Zhu Biao said.

Keeping a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and not letting things go to waste because of others, this is Prince Zhu Biao.

"I'm not denying General Lan Yu's ability, but he has a great personality and loves success. Now he has a rare opportunity. In order to prove himself, he will go deep alone. It would be better if the general in charge is Wei Guogong." Yang Xian shook his head, if he didn't remember If wrong, the Second Northern Expedition was one of the few Northern Expeditions that ended in failure.

At this moment, a group of cavalrymen came to Yangzhou from the capital and sent the latest battle report to Prince Zhu Biao.

Prince Zhu Biao looked strange after seeing it.

This is good news.

Lan Yu led his army deep into the Tula River and broke through King Kuo Kuo's tent.

He should have been happy, but his expression became serious because of Yang Xian's words just now.

As Yang Xian expected, Lan Yu went deep alone.

Zhu Biao immediately set up a sand table in the Yangzhou government office.

Zhu Biao frowned as one military flag after another was placed on the sand table.

The same goes for Xu Miaoyun on the side.

"I ran more than 70 miles in one day. If I fight for a profit of a hundred miles, I will capture the three generals; if I fight for a profit of fifty miles, I will defeat the general." Xu Miaoyun murmured in a low voice. "Mr. Cao Guogong may be fine, but General Lan Yu's situation is hard to say."

Xu Miaoyun has been around Xu Da since she was a child, and she is very knowledgeable in the military.

Of course, this does not mean that it is not good to go deep alone. It depends on who the opponent is and how the opponent responds.

But obviously, in Xu Miaoyun's view, the famous Beiyuan general Wang Baobao would never let go of this golden opportunity.

"Yang Qing, I have to rush back to the capital immediately." Zhu Biao said.

It is a major matter related to military aircraft. Now that the promotion of wool processing workshops nationwide has been finalized, Zhu Biao stopped staying and immediately set off back to Beijing.

Xu Miaoyun thought of her father, her face also looked a little ugly, and she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

If the Ming Dynasty army is defeated, the court will naturally need to send a new coach, and this candidate will most likely be Xu Da.

Whatever you worry about, something will happen.

It didn't take long until Zhu Biao and the others returned to the capital.

News of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty King's Division also followed.

Lan Yu, who was so daring, was so proud after breaking through King Kuokuo's tent that he slept with Princess Kuokuo and finally forced her to commit suicide.

And he himself was injured by the princess's daughter with a fire gun, and now he is unconscious, not knowing whether he is alive or dead.

The vanguard army lost its general and was too far away from the army led by Li Wenzhong behind them. The prairie cavalry led by Wang Baobao arrived just at this time.

The actual purpose of surrounding the vanguard army where Lan Yu was located was to wipe out Li Wenzhong's troops who came for reinforcements.

The entire battlefield situation was completely in Wang Baobao's hands.

No one knows how long the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expeditionary Army can hold on.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, he was furious.
