For Zhu Shangbing, the sons of the old Zhu family should fight on the battlefield, command an army of 100,000 and fight bloody battles to open up territory for the country.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi chatting, Zhu Shangbing groaned and quietly entered the nearby school.
Zhu Gaochi glanced back at Zhu Shangbing who was leaving, turned around and whispered: "Brother Hei, do you have to go to the south this time?"
"You always have to go there in person. The south is very important to our Ming Dynasty..." Zhu Yunxi paused and looked at Zhu Gaochi who didn't know what he was thinking in front of him: "The south is very important!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded silently, and said thoughtfully: "Is it the land in the south? I heard that there is a large plain over there, not far from Huguang to Zhili."
"That's true."
Zhu Gaochi confirmed it was correct, but his brows furrowed.
Zhu Yunxi is not in a hurry, and he always has inexplicable emotions towards this person.
Probably because of the word benevolence.
Zhu Gaochi also slowly spoke at this time: "With enough light and high temperature, crops can grow faster."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows. He really did not expect that Zhu Gaochi knew these things at this age.
Zhu Gaochi continued: "Since there is a lot of land in the south and no one is cultivating it, it is only right that we occupy it in the Ming Dynasty and not let it go as a gift from God."
Zhu Gaochi, who can only be called chubby now, is talking like an old scholar.
However, Zhu Yunxi was already shocked to the point that his heart was shaking, and his eyes were staring at the young fat man in front of him in disbelief.
He actually said that no one was farming there.
Return what God has given.
Is there any other meaning?
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt that he loved Xiaopang even more.
At this moment, Zhu Gaochi probably realized that he was being stared at by Zhu Yunxi. He raised his head and squinted at Zhu Yunxi with a puzzled expression on his face.
Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his hand: "You continue."
"Yeah." Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "It's just that I'm quite confused and worried. Nowadays, Guangxi Road, southern Guangdong Road, and Yunnan Road, these places still have local trends running parallel, and the local chieftains are even more powerful than
The imperial court. From time to time, chieftain rebellions would occur over there, and mountain people would cause trouble in the place.
This is even true for the southern parts of Sichuan Road, Jiangxi Road, and Huguang Road. The imperial court's control over the south is really too low. If Annan and other places are conquered in the future, how can the imperial court exercise deep and strong control?<
/p>
Also, the output of the south may not be transported by land in the future. It will cost too much. I am afraid that 10,000 dans of grain will be transported to the sky, and only 5,000 dans will be left when it enters the Ministry of Household Warehouse.
It's a lucky thing.
But I heard that Brother He seems to be interested in shipping, so the Japanese side will definitely have to make more efforts to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates along the coast, and also crack down on the fake Japanese pirates along the southeast coast."
Sure enough, no one’s nickname is wrong.
The title of executive deputy emperor of the Ming Dynasty is most suitable for Zhu Gaochi!
Hearing Zhu Gaochi, who was still only the Crown Prince of Yan, make such a long speech, Zhu Yunxi's heart was turned upside down.
Wow.
Zhu Gaochi frowned and waved his hand in front of Zhu Yunxi, who was deep in thought.

"Brother Xi?"
Zhu Yunxi snorted twice and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "The products produced in the south must be transported back by sea ships. I am even thinking that in the future, we may be able to directly adjust the output of grain and grass materials from the south and transport them directly to Peking through sea ships.
Supplies nine sides."
Only by mobilizing the entire Ming Dynasty's materials and revitalizing the entire world can we promote a positive, orderly but proactive cycle.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi has recently been thinking about whether to speed up the development of cement. Craftsman Zhang seems to have encountered difficulties in the production of cement, and there has been no progress.
This has been delaying Zhu Yunxi's plan to build roads first if he wants to get rich.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head at this moment and said: "I think we should continue to transport food and pay for the army in Beiping and Jiubian. Even if we use sea transport, we should do it slowly. We should also transfer it to Taicang in Huguang, Jiangxi, Zhili and other places.
Peiping. Otherwise, the distance from the south to Peiping is too long, and it is impossible to transport the rest of the output from the south of the Yangtze River to Jiubian."
"Use the inland river? Take a look at it slowly?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
The inland river is the grand canal built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. In the original history, not long after the fourth uncle moved the capital to Peking, it would be renamed the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said in a low voice: "How many people are there on both sides of the inland river, how many inns, and how many passes. It is where hundreds of thousands of people who carry water transport their food and clothing depend on, and where thousands of local officials and clans rely on. If the transportation is suddenly stopped, I am afraid that
A thousand-mile change."
This is not alarmist.
In the next few decades, local unrest and even rebellions occurred again and again along the thousand-mile route on both sides of the Grand Canal, which Zhu Yunxi regarded as extremely important and significant.
And Zhu Gaochi added: "Moreover, shipping is risky after all. Overseas, there are huge storms and waves, and there are countless reefs along the coast. The reefs hit the bottom, and the huge waves broke the ship. A single shipwreck can cause heavy losses to the court."
This is correct.
Hundreds of years later, even the armored ships covering the sea surface would be like a small boat on an inland river and lake in the face of the huge waves set off by the boundless ocean.
Zhu Yunxi finally said: "Inland river shipping will not stop. Only when the place is circulated can the Ming Dynasty become more prosperous, richer, and the people more prosperous."
Zhu Gaochi couldn't understand the inherent meaning of circulation for a while, but he also agreed that inland waterway shipping cannot stop.
When Zhu Yunxi saw Xiaopang lost in thought, he followed his lead and said: "Circulation is the core of promoting the upward circulation of the Ming Dynasty's economy and people's livelihood."
"Why circulate?"
Zhu Gaochi asked this question according to Zhu Yunxi's idea.
"Population, food, products, gold and silver, treasures, treasures, and merchants. Only when these are mobilized and circulated can the entire Ming Dynasty be truly revitalized." Zhu Yunxi replied in a deep voice.
Zhu Gaochi looked around hesitantly, and then whispered more and more: "This is contrary to the national policy of Grandpa Huang..."
What national policy did Zhu Yuanzhang implement?
The strict household registration system restricts population mobility.
Once the population cannot move, other things can only be circulated through the policies of the court and the powerful gentry and merchants.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi: "One-time policy is not enough to last forever. If possible, I would like the court to issue an edict to restrict those powerful gentry, strictly prohibit the hoarding of gold and silver, and strictly prohibit rich burials. Money is money only when it circulates. Property is also
Only when it circulates can it play its original role.

The products of the Central Plains are very rich, and the food in the world is enough for everyone in the world, but why do Yizi cannibalize each other?"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here..]
It is strictly forbidden to carry out elaborate burials and to hide gold and silver.
This kind of policy has been implemented in all dynasties.
However, the food in the Central Plains could originally feed the people of the world.
Zhu Gaochi has never thought about this problem.
Somewhere in the dark, the young Crown Prince Yan felt as if he had touched an unheard of place.
But, how to circulate, how to make the food that was originally eaten by the people of the world really enter the stomachs of the people of the world.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't think of an answer to such a question for a while.
If you can't think of it, don't think about it.
Zhu Gaochi suppressed his thoughts, looked at Zhu Yunxi, shook his head and whispered: "I won't tell Grandpa Huang."
Faced with Zhu Gaochi's cautious actions, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing.
Then, he suddenly patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder and said with a faint look: "Brother Chi, if one day... in other words, if one day, brother Chi, you can freely choose what you can do, what would you most like to do?
What?"
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, staring with burning eyes at Zhu Yunxi who suddenly asked this question.
After a long period of reflection.
Zhu Gaochi slowly spoke: "Does it count to do things that promote circulation in the world?"
Zhu Yunxi burst out laughing on the spot, almost bursting into tears from the corners of his eyes, and pointed at Zhu Gaochi who had finished answering the question.
Zhu Gaochi smiled naively and scratched his head.
With such jokes, you can hide both truth and lies without leaving any suspicion.
And he also said: "I always feel that Brother Bing is determined to go south with you."
Zhu Yunxi hummed twice and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "Do you want to do that?"
……
"Of course we are thinking about the emperor's great-grandson!"
In the Zhongji Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy and growled at the prince sitting in the wheelchair.
Although Zhu Biao can now walk around with a little help from crutches, he seems to like the wheelchair. He sits on it when he has nothing to do, and always turns the wheelchair to get around.
Listening to the old man's low roar, Zhu Biao shrank his head: "You were the one who ordered Yunxi to go south, and now it's you who miss the emperor's great-grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and stared at the prince with fierce eyes.
Then he waved his sleeves heavily and sat cross-legged on the soft cushion behind him.
"Going south is a national policy, and it is something he must experience personally as the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low.
Zhu Biao patted his legs and smiled silently.
According to the current situation and trend, what I have to do in the future is to maintain the status quo and recreate the things that happened in the Central Plains, such as the rule of Wenjing and the rule of Zhenguan.
Going forward, we will use the power of the Central Plains Dynasty to spread its power to the world.
That is what the next generation of kings will do.
And such a king must know and understand soldiers, understand the borders, and master military affairs.

After smiling, Zhu Biao said: "I just have to wait for another year, and it will be more stable whether I am older and have children or not."
"One year?" Zhu Yuanzhang had a different opinion: "At the end of the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, the Southern Expedition will only last until March and May of next year. The Southern Expedition is not enough to pacify the place, and it will take three to five years to fully achieve its success. That boy's temperament
, it’s impossible to let go and come back before things are done.”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his legs forward and looked ahead blankly with a lonely expression.
He wanted the emperor's great-grandson. As the emperor's great-grandson grew older, and the two little girls in the East Palace became more respectful and virtuous, this idea grew in the emperor's mind and became uncontrollable.
Zhu Biao smiled helplessly: "At most, he can only come back in the 27th year of Hongwu. One year's events are enough for him to determine the strategy of the south. The rest is like the elder brother, the court selects someone to take charge of Jiaozhi and other places. Continue the feasible strategy.
Just stabilize the place."
However, even such persuasion was of no use to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He stared at Feng Qingyundan's crown prince gloomily, and said gloomily: "The emperor's great-grandson, we can't wait any longer!"
These next words are a bit presumptuous.
Zhu Biao shut up immediately. The old man was thinking more and more far-term now.
But can people think carefully about such things nowadays?
Then, a smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face: "Since you are so anxious for the emperor's great-grandson, there is still time to get married. If you can't wait, you can ask someone to follow him to the south."
"What a decent person! What a decent person!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately blew his beard and stared.
Then, he let out a long sigh and his eyes lost all energy.
"The country's affairs are difficult, family affairs are difficult, and our great-grandchildren are in difficulty. How difficult it is for me."
……
Ren Hengtai stared hard at Jie Jin in front of him and said in a deep voice: "This makes me difficult to make a choice."
Xie Jin, who had delivered a confidential document to Zhu Yunxi, stood in the office of the Minister of Rites with stern hands, staring calmly at the hesitant and troubled Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
He didn't know what was in the document, he just asked him to send it over.
Ren Hengtai had no intention of showing it to Xie Jin. After reading it, he stuffed the document back into the cover and then burned it.
After the troubled E Nian said, Ren Hengtai raised his head and looked at Xie Jin: "Xie Xie's book and newspaper bureau is becoming more and more prosperous now. I heard that countless students, whether in the Imperial College or among the people, are honored to be able to work in the book and newspaper bureau.
”
Xie Jin didn't know if this matter was related to Taisun's official document.
He just replied calmly: "How many things have happened since ancient times. Nowadays, lower officials are always afraid, lest they are about to make a mistake and suffer a complete defeat."
Ren Hengtai smiled slightly: "It is always right to study with peace of mind. Now that the date for the resumption of the examination has been set, Bachelor Xie should also review a few things for his colleagues in the Publishing House.
The more, the merrier.”
These words sound directionless and make it difficult to distinguish the intention.
Jie Jin looked at Ren Hengtai in confusion.
As the examiner after the resumption of the Jinke Examination, he actually hoped that his colleagues in the Book and Newspaper Bureau could do more good things in Jinke.
Colleagues?
Xie Jin's eyes gradually became ambiguous.
Ren Hengtai coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Scholar Jie, but the Books and Newspaper Bureau will definitely have a lot of trouble. I won't be able to become a Scholar abroad soon."

This is driving people away.
Xie Jin nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to leave."
After watching Xie Jin leave, Ren Hengtai let out a long sigh, stood up and took out a wooden box from the bookshelf behind him that reached the ceiling.
Carefully placed it on the desk.
Ren Hengtai took out several pamphlets from it.
After distinguishing one from the other, he threw one into the stove nearby.
Then he took a blank pamphlet from the side.
The pen trembles when I hold it.
The ink on the booklet is clear.
"Ce asked: What is the unity of knowledge and action."
"Cehi asked: How can the Southern Expedition be determined, how can it be stable, and why can it be prosperous?"
