Chapter 136: The invention of canned military rations, the first patent certificate of the Ming Dynasty
With a crashing sound.
The students who were about to enter the Imperial Academy took over their swords one after another and handed them to the guards next to them for safekeeping.
Zhao Min had to hand over his family sword.
As a result, Zhao Min was already extremely disappointed.
Without weapons, no matter how close Zhu Han is, there is no way to assassinate him. Not to mention so many tough guards, the battle-hardened Zhu Han will definitely be extremely difficult to deal with.
After all, Zhu Han was the one who killed Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty under the defense of the Imperial Guards of the Yuan Dynasty.
Everyone put down their weapons, and Zhao Min followed the students into the Great Hall of Taixue. The Great Hall of Taixue was the first large-scale building built in Yingtian Mansion after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The building materials used in the entire Taixue Hall are all stone.
The height of the Taixue Hall is more than ten steps, and its width is also dozens of steps.
The entire Taixue Hall looks magnificent, like a huge pagoda standing in Yingtian City, Nanjing.
After everyone entered, they found their seats according to the seats on their tickets.
As expected, Zhao Min's seat was very close to the front. Wanhu, who was giving a lecture in front of him, almost spit on the faces of the students in the front row.
The person next to Wanhu is none other than Zhu Han, King of Ying of the Ming Dynasty.
But now Zhao Minzhong does not have a sword, so he can only look at the face of his enemy Wu Wu with hatred, trying to imprint his appearance deeply in his mind.
Until the end of the entire open class, Zhao Min didn't listen to a word of the content of the open class. All he could think about was Zhu Han's somewhat handsome face, which actually lingered in his mind for a long time.
With a deep impression and unforgettable hatred for Zhu Han, Zhao Min left the Taixue University Hall with everyone.
After returning to the inn where he stayed, Zhao Min has been thinking about how to carry out his future assassination revenge plan.
If Zhu Han, the thief, could not be killed, Zhao Min felt that his trip to Nanjing Yingtian Mansion would be a complete failure.
The hatred of the country and the family cannot allow oneself to fail.
When night fell, Zhao Min lay on the bed in the inn, unable to fall asleep for a long time, thinking hard about how to carry out a revenge plan.
Today's experience made Zhao Min know that the possibility of assassinating Zhu Han in a public occasion like Taixue Imperial College is very low. Not to mention so many palace guards, even those students would probably be killed if they saw the assassination.
Will pounce on him and subdue him.
Zhao Min was in the Taixue University Hall today, but he saw that the students admired and even loved King Zhu Han of England.
Hubei, Anzhou.
As the newly established state capital of the Ming Dynasty, this was the frontline base camp for the attack on Chen Youliang.
Outside Anzhou City, more than 100,000 Ming troops were marching forward in order. Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang personally came to the front line and led his soldiers to attack Chen Youliang's remaining forces.
As long as Chen Youliang's remaining forces are driven out of Anzhou, the entire Hubei will fall under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Ming army came from afar and was exhausted after a long battle.
Now Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty has personally visited the front line. Although he wants to slightly improve the morale of the soldiers, the war is still at a stalemate for the time being.
Naturally, Chen Youliang was keenly aware of the fatigue of the Ming army.
Taking advantage of the fatigue of the Ming army, Chen Youliang took the opportunity to launch several raids, causing the Ming army in front to panic for a moment.
Especially those soldiers and horses recruited by Huguang, there were even several instances of fleeing from the battlefield.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang had to rectify the military law and personally ordered the deserters to be beheaded in public, which stabilized the military morale of these recruits.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the top of the city of Anzhou, looking at the warships on the Yangtze River, showing an unhappy expression.
"Now that Chen Youliang occupies the advantageous terrain, which one of you can find a way to break Chen Youliang's defense?" Zhu Yuanzhang said. At this time, he was thinking that if his younger brother Qiwu was here, he would definitely have a way to break Chen Youliang's situation.
"Your Majesty, now that Chen Youliang has the advantage of terrain and has a large number of troops, we can send troops to use wheel warfare to consume his men and food." Hu Dahai, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, first said.
After the navy led by the Ming Dynasty admiral Hu Dahaiyang entered the Yangtze River, it carried out dimensionality reduction attacks on Chen Youliang's navy. They fought repeatedly and won a complete victory. Chen Youliang's navy was reduced from hundreds of warships to
Only a few dozen damaged warships were defeated and fled to Sichuan in the west.
Therefore, in this Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, Hu Dahai's contribution can be said to be ranked first. His words are naturally full of weight, and the wheel battle can also fully demonstrate the quality of the Ming army's soldiers and sufficient food.
Advantage.
"This method is good, but now we think we should be more cruel to this guy Chen Youliang. If there is a wheel battle, will he also have a chance to recuperate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
When everyone heard that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not very satisfied with Hu Dahai's wheel plan, they immediately put forward their own suggestions to the Ming Emperor.
"Your Majesty, General I have a way. We can send out elite soldiers to get behind Chen Youliang from the mountainous area, and then launch a surprise attack when they are not prepared. As long as they cut off the enemy's retreat and destroy their food and grass supply lines, Chen Youliang's men
This 50,000-strong army will have to retreat if it is not to be completely destroyed." As the infantry commander of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, Zhang Dingbian immediately stepped forward and said.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, this is a good idea." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Zhang Dingbian, if I leave this matter to you, can you be somewhat sure of winning?"
Upon hearing the inquiry from Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Dingbian said without hesitation:
"Your Majesty is willing to personally lead his troops and launch a surprise attack around Chen Youliang's back."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suddenly everyone praised Zhang Dingbian's heroic and fearless behavior.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy. He walked up to Zhang Dingbian and patted his shoulder, saying: "Very good. No wonder Qiwu often told me that as long as I fight against Chen Youliang, I must give you a chance. It seems that you are so good
His courage is not inferior to that of Zhao Zilong who was full of courage."
Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was Zhao Zilong, Zhang Dingbian was very happy and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will not disappoint your Majesty and the King of England!"
Zhang Dingbian personally led three thousand elite troops.
From outside Anzhou City, we followed the mountain road to the rear flank of Chen Youliang's army.
At the same time, Chen Youliang's army was not very happy because it had temporarily blocked the attack of the Ming army. Many soldiers were very absent-minded.
Many soldiers even tried to escape and join the Ming army. The reason made Chen Youliang very worried.
"Your Majesty, now the army sergeants are spreading rumors that the army is allocating land to local tyrants in Hubei, and the poor people have been allocated a lot of fertile land. Many soldiers in the army have heard that their families have been allocated fertile land, and now they are not interested in fighting.
, and even many guys secretly want to escape." Zou Pusheng, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, said worriedly.
Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty also had a sad look on his face.
Not long ago, some Ming soldiers were captured during a battle with the Ming army. They were all natives of Hubei, and many of them were Chen Youliang's old troops.
From these people, we learned that after the Ming Dynasty army entered Hubei, they immediately carried out a campaign to allocate land to local tyrants. The Red Scarf Army soldiers were basically from poor backgrounds, so they were naturally allocated a lot of land and lived a stable life with land and houses.
As a result... Chen Youliang's soldiers can no longer remain calm.
You must know that they joined the Red Turban Army just to kill the Tatars and live a good life.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's army is conquering the local tyrants in Hubei to divide their land, and everyone is living a good life. So what motivation do they have to continue fighting? They might as well put down their weapons and go back to their hometown to live a stable life.
There have even been secret rumors among Chen Youliang's army that if they win the battle against the Ming army, their families in Hubei will lose the land they just received. If they lose, as long as they don't lose their lives, they can return to their hometown to farm in the future.
Live life.
Chen Youliang relied on his military talents to temporarily stabilize the confrontation.
But the morale in the army plummeted, which made him extremely anxious.
"Hmph! He Zhu Chongba can conquer the local tyrants and divide his land, can't I?"
Chen Youliang suddenly felt something in his heart.
Zou Pusheng, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who was standing aside, was also impressed, "Your Majesty, do you mean that you also want to learn from the Ming army's strategy?"
Chen Youliang nodded and said: "Yes, since all the soldiers in the army want farmland, then it should be allocated to them. I heard that Zhu Chongba allocated fifteen acres of farmland to each Hubei people?"
Zou Pusheng said quickly: "Your Majesty is right. The Ming thieves wantonly buy people's hearts. Everyone has fifteen acres of fertile land, regardless of gender, age or child."
Chen Youliang stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Zhu Chongba is too stingy. If this is better, I will give each of the people in Huguang 30 acres of land, twice as much as Zhu Chongba!"
If Chen Youliang wants to counterattack Huguang, he must boost his morale. Now he is trying to make a bigger pie anyway, so he might as well make it bigger.
After Zou Pusheng heard this, he nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is right, this will definitely boost the morale of the soldiers!"
Later, Chen Youliang discussed with Zou Pusheng how to use this incident to boost morale!
As Han soldiers, their treatment was naturally higher, with a policy of sixty acres of fertile land per person.
As soon as this news came out, the originally low morale immediately improved a lot.
Everyone in the Han army looked forward to fighting back to Hubei and living a good life as a master.
However, the pie painted by Chen Youliang cannot fool everyone.
Many knowledgeable soldiers made some calculations and immediately realized that something was wrong. With this high land allocation, they would have to kill all the wealthy landowners in Hubei.
However, it is obviously impossible to kill all the wealthy landowners. On the contrary, the fifteen acres of land owned by the Ming army is more reliable.
The discussion among the Han army about "attacking the local tyrants and dividing their fields" became increasingly heated.
Although some people questioned whether it could be achieved, most of the soldiers were very happy.
At this time, a surprise attack interrupted the Han soldiers' beautiful dream of "killing the local tyrants and dividing their fields."
As night fell, in the mountains outside the Han army camp, Zhang Dingbian, the general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the west, led three thousand elites and was ready.
"General, the enemy's sentry in front has been eliminated by us!" A Ming army member from Qianhu came up to report.
Zhang Dingbian nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, "Everyone put on Han military uniforms and approach quietly!"
Following the order, more than 3,000 Ming army soldiers immediately changed into the Han army uniforms they had captured previously.
Under the cover of night, Zhang Dingbian led three thousand elites to start a surprise attack plan.
"Who is it, stop!"
Following an order, the soldiers and horses under Chen Youliang discovered a team approaching the camp.
This group of soldiers and horses were dressed in Han army uniforms, and they looked like our own at first glance, but the night was too dark and I couldn't see the flag clearly, so I didn't know which group of soldiers and horses they belonged to.
"Brother, we are here from Yuzhou to deliver baggage!" said one of the leading officers.
This person was Zhang Dingbian. He was about to approach the Han army's camp, but he encountered a Han army's hidden sentry, so he could only deal with it patiently.
"Yuzhou?"
"What kind of baggage is being transported?"
"What's the password?"
The Han soldiers secretly asked questions again and again, but they obviously relaxed their vigilance and slowly came closer.
"They are all salted fish and bacon from Yuzhou, used to labor the army!" Zhang Ding said with a smile.
Hearing that it was salted fish and bacon, the Han army sentry was immediately very happy. After approaching, he just wanted to see the salted fish and bacon, but suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from behind, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Set up the rocket and go bury the gunpowder!"
Zhang Dingbian killed the guard with one blow and urged his men again and again.
There must be more than one hidden sentinel of the Han army, and they must seize the time.
With a flurry of preparations, the Ming soldiers led by Zhang Dingbian immediately prepared to break through the Han army camp wall.
boom!
Boom boom!
Following several loud noises in the dark night, the gunpowder placed by the Ming army under the wall of the Han camp made a loud noise.
The Han army's camp wall also turned into a pile of tattered sawdust and earth with the loud noise.
However, Zhang Dingbian did not rush to launch a surprise attack, but ordered another flying rocket to be launched.
Whizzing!
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
There was another loud noise, but this time it all broke out in the Han army camp.
The entire Han army camp fell into complete chaos.
When Zhang Dingbian saw that the time had come, he immediately stood up with a long gun in his hand, waved his hand towards the front, and shouted to the soldiers beside him:
"Brothers, the military merits of the feudal lord are just ahead, come with me to grab them!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
As a shocking cry of killing came out, Chen Youliang's Han army immediately fell into panic.
"Oops, Your Majesty, thieves are attacking us secretly!"
"Protect Your Majesty quickly!"
Chen Youliang's Chinese army camp was also hit by a flying rocket and burst into flames. However, Chen Youliang was patrolling the camp outside and escaped this catastrophe.
However, this fright still made Chen Youliang's face turn pale.
"Light all the torches!"
Following Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack, the Han army camp was in panic. Everyone was cautious in defending and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
However, all this is Zhang Dingbian's strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west.
After a fierce beating and charge, Zhang Dingbian led his soldiers to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and pounced directly on the Han army's grain city in the rear.
Tunliang City, which had no military support, was quickly tricked by Zhang Dingbian into opening the city gate, and then fell into a sea of fire.
Tens of thousands of Han troops' baggage and supplies were burned to the ground!
When it dawned the next day, Zhang Dingbian had already led his troops to retreat, leaving only the scorched-earth Tunliang City and tens of thousands of Han troops who were in disarray.
Faced with the situation of no food and grass, no matter how powerful Chen Youliang's methods are, there is nothing he can do.
"Alas! We can only retreat!"
Chen Youliang looked at the scorched earth all over the ground and said helplessly.
Zou Pusheng and others on the side were also at their wits' end.
Everyone knows that if we continue to fight without food and grass, we are seeking death and have no chance of winning.
However, once the troops retreat now, the Ming army will definitely take the opportunity to approach, and the land of Yuzhou will never be regained.
"Your Majesty, would you like to insist a little longer and ask Yuzhou and other places to quickly prepare for the shipment of grain and grass?" A general persuaded him still unwilling to give up.
Chen Youliang shook his head, "It's impossible. Zhu Yuanzhang will not give us the chance to wait until the food and grass are shipped!"
Now, of course Chen Youliang knew the consequences of retreating, but if he didn't retreat, there would really be no way out.
"Retreating to Xichuan and then taking advantage of the Kingdom of Abundance to seize Guanzhong to the north is Zhuge Liang's great plan for the world!" Prime Minister Zou Pusheng said.
Chen Youliang and others also knew that Zou Pusheng was trying to comfort everyone, but no one exposed it.
The retreat of the Han army was very straightforward and decisive. When Zhang Dingbian led 3,000 elite soldiers back to resume their duties, they did not expect that the Han army actually retreated.
Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack burned all the Han army's food and grass, making the Ming army invincible in the subsequent confrontation.
"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a general!" Zhang Dingbian made great achievements, but he was neither arrogant nor arrogant.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction. He couldn't be more fond of the fierce general Zhang Dingbian discovered by his younger brother Zhu Han.
"It's just that although the enemy lost food and grass, they didn't lose much soldiers. Your Majesty should be careful of them jumping over the wall in a hurry!" Zhang Dingbian continued.
Regarding Zhang Dingbian's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Yes, send the order! The entire army will be on alert immediately!"
Everyone in the Ming army was rejoicing at the victory of the raid.
However, the Ming army had been on alert for several days. They only saw the Han army mobilizing frequently, but never saw the Han army attack.
After several times in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that something was wrong.
He quickly sent out soldiers and horses to test the attack, but he never expected...
At this time, the Han army was already in complete condition. There was not much resistance at all, and they immediately collapsed without a fight.
The Ming army easily captured the Han army's camp, but it was already an empty city.
Looking at the empty Han army camp, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a very regretful expression.
"Alas! What a pity!"
He glanced around Zhang Dingbian, Hu Dahai and other generals, pointed at a circle of Han army camps and said.
"If Qi Wu were here, he would definitely not let Chen Youliang retreat so easily!"
When the generals heard this, they all showed expressions of deep approval!
"The King of England is very resourceful and wise. If he were here, Chen Youliang would die without a burial place!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Chen Youliang led the army to retreat.
This means that with the protection of the Three Gorges natural barrier, the Ming army naturally gave up the pursuit for the time being.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhang Dingbian to be the marshal of Hubei's marching capital to guard Hubei to prevent Chen Youliang's counterattack.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he personally sat in Hanyang and commanded the Ming army to continue southward to pacify the Hunan area.
Although there is no powerful force like Chen Youliang in the Hunan area, there are many local chieftains and barbarians. Especially in the western Hunan area, there are bandits and bandits everywhere. It is a key area for the suppression of bandits that Zhu Han emphasized.
"The thieves in Hunan are all poor people who were oppressed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, I love the people like my own sons. I will pardon all these people who were forced to go astray at once. They only need to report to the government within three months.
, all can be pardoned, and each person will receive twenty acres of permanent land!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This edict of mine will only be issued once. Three months later, there will be bandits who will destroy the mountains and caves, so that these stubborn people will have nothing to do."
Hiding everywhere!”
The "Edict to the People of Hunan" written by my elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, although it is full of vernacular, has a remarkable effect!
In just less than two months, more than half of the gangsters who had been causing harm to Hunan for decades were instantly reduced. The remaining die-hards were no match for the Ming Dynasty’s elite. It took more than a month to reach all parts of Hunan.
The squires and scholars helped the Ming army eliminate the remaining bandits.
The whole of Hunan suddenly became peaceful!
Officials everywhere also abide by their duties, and the province has turned from a chaotic province into a kind place where people never close their doors at night and don't pick up lost things.
Because of the Great Rebellion in Hunan, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered to exempt Hunan from land taxes for two years, allowing the people to recuperate and resume production.
In particular, a large amount of low-priced salt was transferred from Jiangnan, which greatly relieved Hunan, which had been short of salt for many years.
The whole of Hunan immediately supported the emerging Ming Dynasty!
Chen Youliang, who returned to Yuzhou, couldn't help but lament when he heard that Hunan was so easily settled by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The two provinces of Huguang and Huguang will no longer belong to me!"
After learning that his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang had pacified Huguang, Zhu Han immediately sent someone to send a large amount of military rations to Huguang.
This batch of military rations is not ordinary grain, but Yingtian Mansion's latest invention of canned military rations.
"Your Highness, this batch of new military rations can feed Hunan's army for a month!"
Tao Guangyi, the head of Taixue Mountain in Yingtian of the Ming Dynasty, said to Zhu Han.
This batch of canned military rations are all made of tinplate, and all the technical points were completed by Wan Hu’s disciples.
"Wanhu, you have made another great contribution!"
"With such a batch of military rations, even in a hot and humid place like Huguang, we can store large quantities of grain and grass without fear of shortage!"
Zhu Han did not hesitate to praise Wanhu.
Although Zhu Han was the key guide for conquering tinplate can technology, he did not take any credit. With his current status, he did not need any more credit. He only needed to inspire the enthusiasm of Wanhu and other Ming technology geeks.
, you can achieve rapid self-development.
The land of China has always been a treasure land rich in materials!
However, various natural and man-made disasters have repeatedly occurred in history.
One of the important reasons is that China's territory is so large that when one place has a good harvest and another place suffers from famine, it cannot provide timely food and grass relief.
After Zhu Han invented the tinplate can technology, he could accumulate canned food on a large scale in good harvest years. After all, the shelf life of this thing is several years, and it can even be stored in abnormal ways for decades. There is no need to worry about famine.
There's a shortage of food.
Moreover, with the advent of a large number of tinplate canning technology, the large-scale loss of grain and grass transported across thousands of miles has been eliminated. According to the transportation capacity of ancient transportation lines, half of the amount of grain and grass transported a thousand miles will be lost on the road.
"The great achievements that benefit the country and the people are actually the result of His Highness. Lower officials dare not take credit for it!" Wan Hu immediately said humbly.
Zhu Han smiled and waved his hand and said: "I just proposed an idea. The one who really implements it is Wanhu!"
"That is also His Highness's original creation. I will never dare to take credit for it!" Wan Hu said very seriously.
"Haha, this matter is already your fault, you can't push it away even if you want to." Zhu Han said with a smile.
How could he possibly steal such credit from his own men?
Wan Hu looked puzzled and asked Zhu Han doubtfully: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Zhu Han took out a piece of thick and exquisite paper from his arms, with a series of words densely written on it, and also stamped with the seals of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
Wanhu was immediately suppressed by the seals of the three departments of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Husbandry.
Darling! What on earth is this? It’s the joint seal of the three divisions?
Zhu Han pointed with his hand, "This is a patent certificate, and it is also the first patent certificate of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Highness, what is a patent certificate?" Wanhu Tao Guangyi entered another knowledge blind spot.
Later, Zhu Han explained to Wanhu what a patent certificate was.
Especially the fact that the royalties can be enjoyed for fifty years, which frightened everyone in Wanhu.
"Your Highness, this, this, you dare not make a joke!" Wan Hu was almost crying out of anxiety.
But he understood clearly that once he obtained this patent right, from now on, as long as everyone in the world buys a soft iron can, they will pay him a share of the money.
Even if the Ming court wanted to buy these canned foods, it would be equivalent to giving him money.
Such huge wealth is terrifying to thousands of households just thinking about it!
Money attracts people's hearts, but who knows whether it will bring disaster to them.
"Haha, don't worry, I know what you are thinking. This patent right is shared by you and me, that is, we are doing this business together." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Zhu Han naturally knew exactly what Wanhu was worried about.
However, Zhu Han wanted to share the huge profits from this patent with thousands of households.
Because only the stimulation of huge interests can make the people of Ming Dynasty understand that invention and creation are money, future and honor!
Only in this way can the people of Ming Dynasty display their great ingenuity!
The so-called "a thousand pieces of gold worth the price of bones" is this principle.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness!"
Finally, Wanhu understood Zhu Han's intention and happily agreed.
"Oh, by the way, from now on, the iron sheet used in canned food in the Ming Dynasty will be called Wanhu Iron!"
Zhu Han finally said, after all, the name tinplate has historical reasons, and naturally it can no longer be called tinplate.
Simply named after Wanhu.
"Ten thousand households?" Tao Guangyi, a ten thousand household, suddenly felt flattered.
As soon as this name comes out, everyone in the world will know that he is Tao Guangyi.
"That's right, it's Wanhu Iron! Moreover, this kind of can will be called Wanhu Can from now on!"
"I want everyone in the world to know that ten thousand households have used their intelligence and knowledge to save people all over the world from famine. These ten thousand households have earned the money they deserve from canned food!"
As soon as Zhu Han finished speaking, not only Wanhu was stunned, but everyone accompanying him was also stunned.
They were all shocked by Zhu Han's generous plans.
Since ancient times, under the teachings of Confucianism, people all over the world have believed that one should not talk about money. Anyone who openly talks about money would be a very despicable act.
However, Zhu Han just talked about money, so that everyone in the world could see it and no longer feel ashamed about talking about money.
"A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely! We have earned the money we deserve, so what are we afraid of!"
"Moreover, in the future, whoever wants to make money can invent and create their own inventions and apply for patents themselves!"
"Whoever creates welfare for the people of Ming Dynasty will be protected by the Ming Dynasty government!"
"The patent rights of the people of the Ming Dynasty are protected by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
Although today's Ming Dynasty is a new establishment, Zhu Han has enough confidence that he can flourish the Ming Dynasty's industry, agriculture and business in a short period of time!
If you want to encourage industry and commerce, you must encourage the invention and creation of new technologies!
The protection of patent rights is naturally imperative!
"Your Highness's foresight and foresight are indeed a blessing to the Ming Dynasty!"
"What a blessing to all the people in the world!"
Wan Hu led a group of officials and immediately spoke of admiration and respect to Zhu Han.
The batch of Wanhu cans produced by Zhu Han to supply the Ming army had just been shipped to Huguang, and they immediately plunged the Ming soldiers into a frenzy.
This batch of Wanhu canned food is all made from pork and sea fish from the south of the Yangtze River, which is a rare meaty food.
Moreover, in order to ensure the quality of the food and increase the preservative effect, a lot of salt is added to these cans!
Even after Zhu Han took a bite, he felt that his tongue was marinated in the taste.
However, these thick and salty Wanhu cans are a very popular delicacy for the Huguang area, which lacks salt!
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could easily exchange a can of Wanhu cans for a pound of fresh pork in the hands of the people of Huguang!
Moreover, both parties feel that they are making a lot of money.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty ate fresh meat, and the local people used these cans to obtain precious salt. After all, these cans were tightly packed, easy to carry, and the price was cheaper than selling salt to buy meat!
So, it’s just a short month or two!
The first batch of military cans shipped to Huguang was consumed by the soldiers, showing its strong popularity!
"This kid Qiwu, the food he made was so delicious. Not only did the soldiers eat it up quickly, they even sold it very quickly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless when he saw the soldiers quickly consuming all the Wanhu cans.
These Wanhu cans were originally intended for soldiers to carry with them as emergency rations.
Fortunately now, the first thing Ming soldiers ate up was these Wanhu cans.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately wrote to Zhu Han, explaining the popularity of Huguang canned food, and wanted Zhu Han to make these ten thousand households' canned food less tasty to prevent the soldiers from consuming it too quickly.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Han received his brother's letter, he immediately responded to him in his own way.
"Ten thousand households of canned food, enough care!"
Just one sentence in the letter made Zhu Yuanzhang even more speechless.
Of course, not only this letter, but also a large number of Wanhu cans were transported to Huguang.
This batch has more cans and more varieties of flowers.
There are not only canned bacon and fish that were very popular among the soldiers before, but also a large number of canned soybeans, canned peaches, canned hawthorns, etc.
There were so many tricks that even Hu Weiyong, who supported military supplies, didn't recognize these novelties.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with so many canned military rations?! Should they be stored in a warehouse? Or should they be distributed to soldiers?" Hu Weiyong asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor cautiously.
If it were before, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely hoard them to prevent the soldiers from eating them all in one go.
However, things are different now. Zhu Han has already said that he has taken enough control, so he will let go of the restrictions and let the soldiers eat. When they vomit, there is no need to worry about the emergency rations being eaten in advance in the future.
"Qi Wu said that no matter how much it is, it will be sufficient and will be distributed to the soldiers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.
Soon, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Huguang began to feed thousands of households with canned food.
In addition to some canned meat and fish, the largest number of canned soybeans, canned taro, canned potatoes and other items quickly became extremely disliked food by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it happened that these cheap cans were the most abundant in the Ming army, which made the soldiers even more moved and had a headache.
Many unpopular canned staple foods were disliked by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as if they were swill. Of course, this was not nonsense by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. After eating several canned staple foods in a row, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty immediately recalled walking around the streets in those days.
The experience of begging.
There is no way, this kind of canned staple food has a huge problem of being unpalatable, especially today's Ming Dynasty lacks many spices. For canned staple food, you can only add more salt, which makes the food unpalatable and unpalatable.
Salty.
Modern armies in history, whether they are British, French, German, American or Russian, their staple food canned foods are also notoriously unpalatable, which is an unsolvable problem with canned foods.
Imagine the taste of mutton steamed buns that have been soaked in a jar for two months!
Many canned staple foods were quickly taken out by Ming soldiers to be exchanged for other fresh food or sold.
After all, although these canned staple foods are unpalatable, they contain sufficient salt and oil. For the poor, they are already an improved diet!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a result, many canned staple foods can be seen everywhere in Huguang.
Some spies arranged by Chen Youliang sent these "ten thousand cans" to Chen Youliang's army in Xichuan.
...
Chengdu, Sichuan.
Not long ago, Chen Youliang led his Han army to defeat the remaining local Yuan forces with an unstoppable momentum, and easily captured all the territory in Sichuan.
After more than a thousand years, another Han Empire emerged in Chengdu.
Not long after Chen Youliang led his army to pacify Sichuan, he received this batch of "Ten Thousand Households Canned Food" sent by Huguang spies.
After hearing about the origin of this batch of "Wanhu Canned Food" in Huguang, Chen Youliang immediately fell into deep thought.
Especially when Chen Youliang tried several Wanhu cans, he felt a deep despair!
"well!"
"Have Zhu Chongba's soldiers actually eaten enough of such delicious food?"
"Then to what extent must the Ming army's supplies be sufficient? Isn't it enough to even have enough cans for ten thousand households?"
"With such a rich supply, wouldn't it be possible for the Ming army to quickly accumulate enough supplies to attack my Sichuan?"
The worry expressed by Chen Youliang definitely frightened everyone.
"Your Majesty, although the Ming army has sufficient food and grass, we now occupy the Kingdom of Tianfu in Sichuan. As long as we take a little rest, we will definitely be able to defend ourselves!" Prime Minister Zou Pusheng said quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Zou Pusheng made suggestions to Chen Youliang, to recuperate and recuperate here in Sichuan, do light corvee and pay little tax, and use the powerful productivity of the Kingdom of Abundance to recuperate and recuperate, reserve grain and grass, and prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from launching an attack on him.
Regarding Zou Pusheng's suggestion, Chen Youliang immediately adopted it.
"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Let's leave this matter to the Prime Minister. Don't forget what we said before."
"Brother Zhu Chongba can attack the local tyrants and divide their fields in Huguang and Jiangnan. Naturally, we cannot lag behind him in Sichuan. We must also attack the local tyrants and divide their fields in Sichuan."
"We must not be soft on those local tyrants and evil gentry!"
The local tycoons here in Sichuan are all outsiders to the Red Turban Army in Huguang. The Red Turban Army soldiers in Hubei have no sympathy for the landlords in Sichuan.
Chen Youliang planned to kill all the landowners in Sichuan, seize their land into his own hands, and then distribute it to his soldiers.
However, Zou Pusheng felt that this suggestion was a bit too radical.
Zou Pusheng immediately said to Chen Youliang, "Your Majesty, there are still many literati who can be used in Sichuan. If we kill all these landlords, it will be tantamount to offending all the Sichuan gentry. We can first use the method of differentiation and disintegration, and then
Attack the local tycoons to divide their land."
When Chen Youliang heard Zou Pusheng's words, he immediately asked, "Prime Minister, is there any way to divide and disintegrate them?"
Zou Pusheng said, "Your Majesty, we can start by opening up schools to recruit scholars. As long as they are able to come to serve as officials for us, we can give them some tax-free privileges and let them keep their own land. If these people come to join us, then
We are equivalent to giving them land, and for those landowners who are unwilling to cooperate, we can use various means to confiscate their land."
"Of course, not all land must be confiscated. For many lands, we can learn from Zhu Chongba and use their strategies to redeem these lands. In this way, we can also avoid some too radical resistance." I heard.
After Zou Pusheng's words, Chen Youliang immediately felt that this was a very good idea.
Chen Youliang smiled, nodded silently, and said:
"Prime Minister, if we open a subject in Sichuan to recruit scholars, how many people do you think we should recruit?"
Hearing Chen Youliang's words, Zou Pusheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, the reason why we open the exam to recruit scholars is just to win over the local gentry and landlords in Sichuan. Many landowners may not be talented enough to be admitted to our Jinshi or something like that.
If we come here, a group of poor literati will be selected to serve as officials for us, and the privilege of tax exemption will be given to the poor literati, but it will be of no use to us to gain a foothold in Sichuan."
It turns out that Zou Pusheng's plan was not to actually select talents.
Rather, we want to use this method of recruiting scholars to give those Sichuan big landowners and gentry who are willing to cooperate a space for cooperation.
As long as these people can come and serve Chen Youliang as an official, then let them keep their own land.
If they are unwilling to cooperate, then kill them all and rob them of all their property, and others will not be able to say anything.
Hearing Zou Pusheng's words, Chen Youliang was immediately very happy.
Once this method is implemented, many large landowners and gentry in Sichuan will definitely become Chen Youliang's powerful help.
Chen Youliang smiled and said, "The Prime Minister really has a good plan, so I have decided to implement the inspection and examination system in Sichuan. What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Zou Pusheng smiled and nodded, and said, "Your Majesty is indeed familiar with history books and well versed in ancient and modern times. Yes, my suggestion is to adopt the inspection system of the Han Dynasty."
The so-called inspection system is actually a system for recommending officials to each other.
For the Qin and Han Dynasties in ancient times, it was a relatively advanced official selection system.
But for the Yuan and Ming dynasties, which had been implementing the imperial examination system for thousands of years, this was definitely a step back in the system.
Nowadays, Chen Youliang doesn't have so many ideas to hold a real imperial examination. This is just a means to win over the big landowners in Sichuan.
Therefore, it is not important to Chen Youliang whether he is talented or not.
In fact, he himself looked down upon those literati who read the Four Books and Five Classics.
