Chapter 119 is the territory of Ming Dynasty
Is there a letter from Yang Yiqing?
Hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited. He had been waiting for a day but he had been waiting for a long time. He quickly said to Liu Jin: "Quick, get it here!"
Liu Jin naturally did not dare to neglect and quickly handed over the letter in his hand.
After receiving the letter, Zhu Houzhao first checked the mud seal to confirm that no one had touched the letter. Then Zhu Houzhao tore open the envelope and took out the letter. Picking up the letter and taking a look at it, Zhu Houzhao felt relieved.
The son got better, he knew that his matter was done, and his father would definitely be shocked, and maybe he would really regret it.
This letter is not about anything else, but the betrayal of Liaodong Caochang. Yang Yiqing had reported this matter before, but at that time it was just a report on the progress, unlike this time, this time it was a report on the results.
In the first half of the letter, Yang Yiqing wrote about the grand occasion of the grassland auction, and later he wrote about the money for the grassland auction. Seeing Yang Yiqing auctioning the grassland at six taels of silver per acre, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say. The land in Liaodong was also
It's not that expensive, but the land in Liaodong is not as productive as these pastures.
Around Daning City, Yang Yiqing sold a total of 126,000 acres of grassland, earning 7,701,600 taels of silver.
This number is really staggering. According to the price of grassland, Zhu Houzhao estimates that the price of wool products will not drop in a short time.
In addition to this, Yang Yiqing also introduced some of the trade conditions in Liaodong to Zhu Houzhao. Wool products are very popular in North Korea. Although production has been expanded three times, the supply is still in short supply. How much is sold is sold. The population of Liaodong is growing very fast, and Yang Yiqing even
He petitioned the imperial court to allow merchants in Liaodong to recruit workers in other provinces.
You must know that the household registration management in this era is very strict. If you want to leave your place of origin, you need to issue a road guide, otherwise you will have escaped.
In addition, Yang Yiqing is also planning to organize large-scale planting of soybeans in Liaodong. The winter is too long and the weather is too cold. The crop that can perfectly adapt to the Northeast is soybeans. It has a short growing season and is suitable for farming.
Yang Yiqing didn't ask for money, he just wanted people and policies. Zhu Houzhao put the letter. At the back of the letter, Yang Yiqing had already written it clearly and had already submitted a memorial to the emperor. This is what it should be, and it is impossible to write it just to the prince.
He couldn't believe the memorial. After reading the letter, Zhu Houzhao knew that his father was probably coming to find him.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Houzhao put down the letter, He Neng walked in from outside, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you." After giving Zhu Houzhao a greeting, He Neng said quickly. Obviously, this summons was quite urgent.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, then turned around and walked out, rushing straight to the Qianqing Palace. By the time Zhu Houzhao arrived at the Qianqing Palace, there were already many people here. Several cabinet bachelors, as well as the Minister of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials
The Minister of Finance and the Minister of War, Liu Daxia, were also there. Obviously, everything this time had something to do with them.
When Zhu Houzhao walked in, several people were passing around the memorial. Without thinking, he knew that this memorial must be Yang Yiqing's.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao walking in, the ministers looked at Zhu Houzhao differently. This Crown Prince is so amazing.
Not to mention fighting and training troops, His Highness the Crown Prince is very impressive in terms of making money. Whether it is salt administration or paying village land taxes, this time it is Liaodong again. Who would have thought that the grasslands of Liaodong can be sold for so much.
Money? That’s more than seven million taels, which is so eye-catching. Many people are wondering how to spend the money.
At the same time, some people also thought that this pasture is so valuable, why not buy more of it and sell it all?
Zhu Youtang was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhu Houzhao, because he had just finished talking to his son, and he ignored the affairs in the northwest and asked himself to get money. All the money in Liaodong was given to his son. But now that he saw this memorial, Zhu Youtang
Knowing that this time he was afraid that he would not keep his words. Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang turned his head directly and stopped looking at his son.
"My son has met my father." Zhu Houzhao saluted his father calmly, and then stood aside obediently.
The ministers turned around and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "I will see you, Your Highness."
After all the etiquette was completed, the matter shifted to the issue of Liaodong. It was Zhu Youtang who spoke first, and said directly: "Everyone has read the memorial. I believe you all know about Daning. Now we should give it to you."
No one objects to rebuilding the Daning Guard, right?"
During this period, many people petitioned the court to abolish the Daning Guard. There were many reasons. Basically, the Daning Guard could not make ends meet. You must know that the Daning Guard was abolished during the Yongle period. Rebuilding it now will not only increase the burden on the court.
, and there is no benefit. Now Zhu Youtang has the confidence to say this, and he has sold the grassland for so much money.
"I'm ashamed!" Liu Jian bowed with his head, not embarrassed on his face, looking calm.
Xie Qian also stood up at this time. He did not face Zhu Youtang, but said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has immigrated to the northwest. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is also prepared to follow the example of Liaodong?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "When I went to the northwest to extinguish the fire sieve, I found that the Hetao grassland was no longer usable. It was impossible to cultivate the fields, but grazing was still possible. However, there is also a place in the northwest where not only cities can be built, but also
Some fields can also be reclaimed, and this place is Toyosu Beach."
"Father, I would like to ask you for a map." Zhu Houzhao turned to his father and bowed.
"That's right!" Zhu Youtang nodded.
Soon the map of the northwest was brought over. Zhu Houzhao pointed to Fengzhoutan and said: "If the Ming Dynasty builds a city here, the entire Hetao will fall under the control of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can graze here, and the grassland around Fengzhou Tan can become the Ming Dynasty.
The horse herding land. To the north, it can contain Dayan Khan, and to the west, it can contain the people of the west."
"I am planning to build a wool textile factory in the northwest, and send troops from Guyuan to the west to clear out the Tatars, and then occupy this generation." As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao drew a circle on the map of Kanyu, which basically formed Inner Mongolia in later generations.
Most of them were drawn: "On the Liaodong side, they marched north and west to capture all of this generation."
"Move the Xifengkou and Datong lines of Xuanfu forward and occupy all this grassland." Zhu Houzhao said with confidence.
"In this way, the entire Monan Mongolia will be my territory of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao said here, looking excited.
Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao and marveled at Zhu Houzhao's generosity. In this way, the entire Monan Mongolia became the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This was the expansion of territory! The key is that this place is not useless.
Chapter completed!
