June 11th in Hongwu.

Wang Sanxi is an honest and friendly farmer born in Liaodong and raised in Liaodong.

He spent the first half of his life with the Northern Yuan court. Not only did he be poor that day, he also had to be wary of being bullied by local officials from time to time.

However, I have been listening to the propaganda of the Northern Yuan court that if the Ming Dynasty came, the property of these ordinary people would not be saved and their lives would be lost.

Therefore, although Wang Sanxi lived a difficult life under the rule of the Northern Yuan court, he never thought that he would surrender to the Ming Dynasty one day.

However, after the Ming Dynasty really came, Wang Sanxi realized that the Ming Dynasty was not the same as the Northern Yuan court.

Although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all majestic and mighty, they looked very difficult to mess with, and they looked fierce and evil.

But it is not like those from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. They just wander around the streets without any money, and they don’t pay for food or anything else. They occasionally punch you two or so.

Under normal circumstances, these Ming soldiers would not wander around the city, but would only station outside the city. Occasionally, some of the people who came to the city were just people who maintained public order.

Not only that, the administrative efficiency of the Ming Dynasty was also very fast. Not long after, administrative officials were sent to Liaoyang and brought up the local official team.

Moreover, unlike the officials in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty were all very honest and honest.

If someone goes to send money, no one will be charged. Not only that, if some people are occupied and the fertile land is sued to the government, there will be support from the government.

For example, Wang Sanxi recently said something about the next village.

A fifty-year-old man died of his son. Later, a wealthy family next to him asked the fifty-year-old man to take his land to his house and said he would provide him with his old age, but the land belonged to the rich family.

This fifty-year-old man was not happy. Although he had no son at home, he still had a grandson.

However, the rich man tied up the fifty-year-old man without saying anything, saying that the fifty-year-old man had agreed.

The rich family had a lot of contact with the Northern Yuan court in the past. If it were the previous situation, ordinary people would definitely not dare to sue the official.

But now the courtyard has changed. When the Ming Dynasty officials arrived here, the people in the village were a little unable to bear it. A young man clenched his fists and shouted:

"How could anyone bully people like this!"

After calling, I went to the local government to report to the official position. Guess what?

Not long after, the rich man was arrested.

Not only that, the land and property of the fifty-year-old man was returned to the fifty-year-old man, and all the money from the rich was replenished.

Good guy, then the thing that ordinary people love to watch the most is that they are richer than themselves!

Wang Sanxi was no exception. After seeing some people’s unluckyness, his impression of the Ming Dynasty suddenly improved a lot.

It seems that the Ming army is not as hateful as the Northern Yuan court promoted, otherwise it would not have taken action against the rich.

Since the Ming Dynasty recovered Liaodong, it has been devoted to developing the local economy. Needless to say, the economy is naturally farming.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there were a series of policies and strategies to encourage farmers to farm.

The first thing is to provide iron farm tools, which Zhu Yuanzhang has clearly mentioned.

Agricultural tools are distributed to the people according to the time period. If the people accidentally lose the farm tools, they can still reissue them after confirming that they are indeed lost.

Of course, if you deliberately hide the farm tools and then go to the government to ask for them, if you are found, it would be a serious crime.

In addition to support in agricultural tools, the Ming Dynasty would also measure land, then clear the excess land of the rich households, and transfer the land to poor farmers who had no land.

These wealthy businessmen were originally people who supported the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty's army was dealing with them, they were not ruthless.

Not only that, anyone who dares to resist will definitely be arrested and punished.

Then this is a matter of making the rich unlucky, which is really too popular for the people.

In addition to these things that the people like, the Ming Dynasty government also asked the people to grow cotton. If the cotton they planted could not be sold, the government could buy it for the bottom line.

Therefore, the people of Liaodong, who had greatly improved the Ming Dynasty, all started to grow cotton on a large scale starting this year.

Wang Sanxi was no exception. His family also planted cotton in the fields. Anyway, it would be the same as selling the cotton for money to buy food.

However, in addition to growing cotton at home, Wang Sanxi has also recently taken on a very big business, which is to help His Highness the King of Liao farm.

The things that Wang Sanxi has never seen before.

However, this was the arrangement of His Highness the King of Liao, and before he could plant it, he had already given the money to Wang Sanxi.

What Wang Sanxi needs to do is to cultivate crops according to his rich farming experience, and that's all.

And in their village, there are many farmers like Wang Sanxi who are hired by His Highness the King of Liao.

Their farming places were all near the Liao Palace, and they were not allowed to be allowed to be in chaos outside.

Your Highness Wang still attaches great importance to these crops. If Wang Sanxi and the others can plant them well, then Your Highness Liao will definitely have many rewards behind him.

When Wang Sanxi heard this, he didn't say anything. He really wanted to live directly in the Liao Palace and guard these acres every day!

Wang Sanxi sat in the field, looking at the strange plants that had just sprouted, and thought to himself that he would get a large reward from His Royal Highness the King of Liao in a few months.

These days are getting better and better day by day.

……………………

And when Wang Sanxi and the rest of the people were very happy for an extra income.

Zhu Qi was also very happy every day. From time to time, he went to the fields to see how corn, potatoes and these plants grew.

Zhu Qi had never planted a farm before and did not have a special understanding of farming.

However, every year, Zhu Yuanzhang would ask those who were princes to work in the fields. Although they were just doing things, Zhu Qi knew at least the general process of farming.

After the corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes sprout, it will be a good start. If these seeds cannot even sprout, it will be a headache.

However, the plants on the Plant America were wild at the beginning.

It also requires manual cultivation to grow into corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes like modern times.

Zhu Qi had only heard of this, but he was not particularly clear about how to train it.

But no matter what, it is definitely correct to plant them first.

Anyway, the side of King Legend has arrived at the American continent through the Bering Strait and has sailed safely along the American continent for a long time.

These seeds were also exchanged for the local tribes that carried the silk, cloth and other valuable items from the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qi has heard about the indigenous tribes of the American continent. In fact, when Westerners first landed on the American continent, the local tribes were very enthusiastic and did not have hostility towards people outside like many African tribes.

However, no matter how enthusiastic you are in encountering the bandits in the West, they will be warm and cold ass.

And he was ruthlessly exploited by the West, and even the Indian land was taken away and turned into the land of the current Americans.

The Ming Dynasty was different, although Zhu Qi was bound to win the rule of America.

But it will not brutal exploitation of the indigenous peoples in the Americas like Western countries. After all, the biggest advantage of the Chinese nation is tolerance and assimilation.

However, it is not so easy to implement Chinese education in the Americas.

First, we must first solve the problem of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then we must open the land route from the northeast Siberia to the Bering Strait.

Otherwise, if you go to the American continent from the sea, you will be taking risks with your life. Only by walking through the land will it be the safest road.

But I don’t know how many years it will take to achieve this, so Zhu Qi stopped thinking about it, but wrote a letter to Wang Chuanqi, asking him to come to Liaoyang, Liaodong to report it as soon as possible.

In Wang Chuanqi, he has stepped down as the governor of the Tianjin Wei Navy Division in Daming.

Now he has become a member of the tariff system directly under the command of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

His original position was to General Jack Ma.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously knew that Zhu Qi was asking Wang Chuanqi to lead the navy troops to explore outside recently.

Therefore, when Wang Xuanqi was assigned to the tariff troops, the warships under his command were not laid off.

The warships that went out for adventure this time also gave them to the tariff department, saying that they were the tariff department, but in fact they were Zhu Qi’s private yamen.

It is impossible to put it in another dynasty emperor and let the prince open his own yamen. Someone has done it before, that is Emperor Gaozu of Tang.

Let his son Li Shimin be called General Tiance of the Eastern Capital in Kaifu in Luoyang.

There is no need to say more about the result, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be worried about this at all.

No matter what, since my father gave himself the convenience of this right, Zhu Qi must make use of it.

Wang Xuanqi's third adventure has been so successful, and there is no reason not to let Wang Xuanqi take the fourth adventure again.

However, this fourth adventure is going to cooperate with the new ship, and Zhu Qi has asked the craftsmen to study some soft sailing boats.

The craftsmen mentioned here are not the craftsmen that Zhu Qi started to cultivate since before, but the Western craftsmen that Zhu Qi, the three Italian gangs, found.

This soft sailing boat is the West's unique skill. Since it is ready, Zhu Qi has no reason to re-research it from scratch and just bring their scientific and technological achievements directly from the West.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Western sailing technology was already quite advanced. In less than 100 years, the West would embark on the era of great navigation.

Therefore, after Zhu Qi asked those craftsmen to replicate the soft sailboats from the West, he obtained an experimental report on the soft sailboats, and the results naturally made Zhu Qi very happy.

After all, to be honest, soft sailing boats are the most suitable for ocean sailing.

Therefore, if we want to normalize the route from Ming to America in the future, it is necessary to develop soft sailing ships.

At least this was the case before the invention of modern and modern warships such as ironclad ships.

Although the sailors in Wang Xuanqi's hands are experienced, they are all good at manipulating hard sailboats.
