Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 134: Caravans can be developed
In the past, I had to make a hasty march to chase the fierce troops, but now I don't have to be in such a hurry when I go back.

Anyway, I still have a lot of food and supplies I brought earlier, enough to eat leisurely all the way back to Dali.

Zhu Chu really felt like he was traveling. When he arrived in Tengchong, he specially asked the entire army to set up camp, and then he went to Tengchong Town as a guest.

Dao Gong's family naturally welcomed and received him warmly, and also led the people in the town to welcome Zhu Chu's arrival.

It was also the first time for the common people to see a person of the prince's level, and they just had to watch the show with melon seeds and peanuts in their arms.

Zhu Chu didn't care at all, and didn't realize that he was being watched by others. He greeted the people enthusiastically along the way.

This Tengchong town was formerly called Tengyue. It was renamed Tengchong Prefecture during the Yuan Dynasty.

Although Dao Gong's army not long ago led an army of [-] to intercept Dao Ganmeng's [-] army, they suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them being casualties.

But because Zhu Ji exempted Tengchong from taxes for five years on the spot, the residents of the town did not resent Zhu Ji's arrival, but were grateful.

Zhu Chu followed Dao Gong to the chieftain's office they set up in the town. Today, Dao Gong is already acting like a chieftain officer.

The reason is that except for the Han soldiers who originally accompanied Dao Gong, the locals are basically natives.

Even those Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are now married to local women and have children.

Zhu Chu had previously tested out that Dao Gong and his son were still obsessed with the Han family lineage. He knew that they always wanted to restore their surname, and he was not worried about their ambition to be the emperor.

So Zhu Ming persuaded the Dao Gong family with sincerity: "You two, do your best, and don't bully the people for the sake of power or greed for money."

"In the past two years, you will first conduct a population census in the city, and then look for an opportunity to re-measure the land. When the opportunity arises, I will petition Your Majesty to return the land to the Han Dynasty. At that time, I can restore you to the Han family status and become Ming ministers, without the need to I’m a chieftain now. Do you understand?”

Dao Gong saw that although Zhu Chun was young, he was very ambitious. Although he didn't understand what it meant to change his native land and return to his hometown, he could still understand that Zhu Chun had great ambitions.

So Dao Gong nodded in agreement.

"There are still those things like glass and sugar before. When things settle down during this period, you can continue to prepare the fleet or horse team, and then go out to fool those rich people."

Zhu Ming has not forgotten his previous plan to develop agents offline.

Mrs. Dao Gong smiled bitterly and wiped away cold sweat.

To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He had sent his son Daoyuechuan to meet with Zhu Xi instead of going to the meeting himself, just to make the younger generation gag.

In order to prevent him from going, what should he do if Zhu Zhen oppresses others as a prince?

In the end, Zhu Chu didn’t give up on this plan?

"I'll give it a try," Dao Gong agreed with some reluctance.

But Zhu Ming said: "Although I have never been good at history, I also know that Heshun is the origin of the caravan culture, so you don't have to be modest."

Caravan culture refers to the caravan culture where some people use horses, donkeys, or mules to carry goods, even under difficult conditions, to travel to other countries, and then trade them.

There is Heshun Town below Tengchong, which is one of the places where the caravan culture arose.

It is said that Heshun people traveled abroad from the mountains for generations, using the horse caravan as the main means of transportation to connect China, India and Myanmar. They gave birth to a group of powerful businessmen such as the Jade King, the Cotton King, and the Rice King. They were known as the 'caravan'. The land of emeralds that comes on a piggyback'.

It seems that Zhu Zhen has also done some homework on Tengchong, and with the gradual improvement of intelligence attributes, many memories of the previous life that have been blurred have begun to revive.

It's just that Zhu Zuke doesn't know which dynasty or era this caravan culture originated from, and where it originated from.He also said that he is no longer good at historical results.

Dao Gong was lost in thought.

In fact, when Tokoshikawa came back last time, he was already considering whether he should really take the risk and form a caravan to sell these goods abroad.

Now that Zhu Chu came in person and mentioned the matter again, Mrs. Dao Gong was gradually moved.

"Don't worry, take your time. Even if you can't exchange everything for free money, you can still exchange it for their food and other good things. I heard that there are also jade and other jade stones abroad. If they are popular in China, you can bring them back and I will help you sell them. Let's go to the Central Plains," Zhu Zhen began to make up his mind.

If he plans to build bridges and roads, it will be a good time to boost the commercial economy.

It was Dao Gong who cursed in his heart, couldn't he sell it to the Central Plains?Do you have to add a middle price difference in the middle?
But he didn't dare to say anything, after all, he hadn't even written out his horoscope yet.

Then Zhu Zhen stayed in Tengchong for one night, and he was excited to have a discussion with Dao Yuechuan.

It turned out that although Tokoshikawa was somewhat brave, he was not a strong general and could only be said to be average.

Zhu Zhen also wanted to study the military strategy of Daoyuechuan, but the result was very ordinary.

In fact, the Dao Gong clan was just an ordinary general under Fu Youde's account at the beginning, with a thousand-household command at most, not even a commander.

So Zhu Zhen wanted to rely on chance encounters to recruit strong generals or something.

Do you think this is the Three Kingdoms era?Can you still pick up Zhao Yun casually?
Dao Gong also vaguely guessed Zhu Chu's intention, but it was a pity that Dao Yuechuan was not a military genius and did not even have the courage to be a forward. He could only sigh secretly.

It was Dao Yuechuan who failed to live up to his expectations.

After a rest, Zhu Chu hit the road again the next day.

And when I passed Xinzhai Village again, the traces of the fire that night had long disappeared. At the same time, I could still see hundreds of people cleaning charcoal there, preparing to rebuild the village?
Zhu Chu asked someone to call a man who looked like the village chief and found out that they had lived here for generations and only lived on a nearby piece of land, so even if the Dao Gong family burned down their village, they wanted to invite them to Tengchong. Live, they still choose to come back here.

Although there are large areas of mountain forest near Xinzhai Village, there is not much land suitable for farming.

But in ancient times, ordinary people were mostly honest and honest, and some even never left their villages in their entire lives, so they didn't want to leave either.

Anyway, most of their previous houses were made of wooden houses, so it was easy to rebuild them.

The Dao Gong clan has not forgotten to make up for them. They will send people to help build and deliver a lot of supplies. It will not be a problem to survive this winter.

Zhu Ming asked some more questions, remembering that there were more than 8 people from the Dao Ganmeng and Dao Gong clan buried nearby, and asked them if they were afraid.

In the end, the village chief smiled and said, "The village god will protect us."

"What?" Zhu Zhen was stunned and suddenly thought of the old witch from the Curie House clan.

The village chief was also stunned and said stupidly: "This is our belief. Generally, we pray for a good harvest when farming and give thanks for the harvest after the autumn harvest. This is the custom of some villages near us."

To put it bluntly, it is the original belief believed by ethnic minorities.

But Zhu Zhen warned: "You are not allowed to make people alive for sacrifice."

The village chief shuddered and looked at Zhu Zhen in horror. He wanted to sacrifice a living person?This one is terrible.
