Chapter 29 Zhu Yuanzhang: Is My Son So Awesome? Next (Fourth More)
At this time, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Di with a dazed expression.
At this moment, his thinking was really unresponsive.
In his understanding, it is normal to need support, and it is normal to ask for food and grass.
Although there is a serious shortage of grain and grass in the whole Daming today, it can be said that there is always a shortage of grain and grass for the northern expedition.
However, just relying on his son’s ability to stand in Qiongzhou Mansion and his rapid development is enough for him to give corresponding support.
Even he was completely happy to draw a little food to help his twelve sons.
But what did he hear.
His fourth son even said that he brought 500,000 catties of grain.
How to make Zhu Yuanzhang not stunned at this time.
Fortunately, at this time, the prince Zhu Biao reacted.
His eyes couldn’t help but surprise.
“Fourth brother, are you serious?”
Prince Zhu Biao spoke in disbelief, and couldn’t help being excited.
As the most powerful prince in history, Zhu Biao can be said to know the most about the entire Ming Dynasty.
Only he knows how big the food shortage in Daming is.
In general, when the country was first built, it was mainly for recuperation.
But Daming is different. As Daming who expelled the Tartars and restored China, he had to face one thing, and that was the crisis of Beiyuan.
How powerful was Meng Yuan back then?
As the people who used to be Mongolian and Yuan people, they are undoubtedly more aware.
It was a huge empire that spread across the world, far beyond their imagination.
Now, although they expel the Tartars, they are expelling them, not destroying them.
In 1368, the situation in the Central Plains was completely out of control. Coupled with the fact that the Ming general Xu Da led his troops into Dadu, Huizong was forced to give up Dadu and go north to Shangdu.
In 1367, after Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out the last Fang Guozhen team in the south, he started the first Northern Expedition (also known as the War of Destruction of the Yuan Dynasty).
Beiyuan’s power actually didn’t lose much.
It still maintains a huge territory, as well as the wealthy Western Regions.
This is a super empire that is truly unique in history.
Compared with other dynasties, it can recuperate and recuperate. In order to achieve long-term stability, the entire Ming Dynasty had to keep on expeditions to the north.
In history, Lao Zhu was in power and made nine northern expeditions.
Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, and he was the five conquerors of Mobei.
But in this way, the Northern Expeditions again and again are undoubtedly consuming the already empty Central Plains Dynasty.
Up to now, although the entire Ming Dynasty is constantly recovering, there are some signs that people’s livelihood is withering.
The shortage of food and grass is extremely huge.
Although 500,000 catties of grain is not much, for Daming, it is enough to solve many problems.
This is also the reason why Zhu Biao is excited.
“Of course it’s true!”
“Big brother, the twelfth brother even said that in the future, more than one million catties of grain can be shipped to Daming every year.”
“The food is just outside the city. Father and brother, you can go and check!”
Zhu Di nodded with a smile and spoke with affirmation.
And this time with his words.
The ministers were also in an uproar.
“how come?”
“The Qiongzhou Mansion is a desolate place, how can His Royal Highness King Qiong give so much food and grass?”
The minister of households, Lu Chang, couldn’t help but speak.
“right!”
“Qiongzhou Mansion has been desolate since ancient times. Wang Qiuhao and others remember that they need to allocate funds from Guangzhou to enter every year. How can the Twelve Violators have such food and grass?”
Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted at this time, and he couldn’t help but be curious.
“Father, what you don’t know!”
“Twelfth brother, he opened up farmland in the south of Qiongzhou Prefecture and built new water conservancy facilities. In addition to the pleasant climate in the southern part of Qiongzhou Prefecture, his rice can be cooked three times a year. In addition, there are a large number of fish at sea. Inland Daming is comparable!”
Zhu Di opened his mouth with a smile.
Slowly explaining the huge harvest of grain and grass over there.
“Three times a year?”
“This this!”
The minister of the Ministry of Finance’s pupils widened, and he couldn’t help but lose his voice.
“Lu Shangshu, if you don’t believe it, you can go to Qiongzhou Mansion in person.”
Listening to Lu Chang, who lost his voice, Zhu Di smiled again.
“well!”
“As expected of our good emperor.”
“Ha ha ha ha!”
After Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, it turned into a cheerful sound of laughter.
It wasn’t until after laughing for a while that Lao Zhu stopped and looked at Zhu Di.
“Twelve, did you say you need our support?”
The words were inquiring, but the smile still could not be restrained.
“Father, the twelfth brother thinks that there is still the possibility of further development of Qiongzhou Mansion. If a large number of immigrants can be placed in front of the border, it will be enough to turn Qiongzhou Mansion into the next land of fish and rice, or even worse, so the twelfth brother wants to immigrate to the bottom and immigrate some people to the past. , for the further development of the local area, at that time, maybe a million catties of grain and grass can be turned into a million stone grain and grass.”
Zhu Di spoke quickly.
Naturally, his words were slightly modified.
“well!”
“Old Twelve has a heart. Starting today, the Ministry of Households will immediately mobilize manpower to prepare for immigration to Qiongzhou.”
“The initial number, just 100,000!”
Old Zhu became more and more satisfied, and immediately opened his mouth.
After listening to his words, the ministers reacted. Some people wanted to speak, but they didn’t know how to speak.
In the end, Lu Chang had to bite the bullet and speak.
“Your Majesty, 100,000 people immigrate to Qiongzhou Mansion, I am afraid that it is not enough, and there are not enough management personnel in Qiongzhou Mansion.”
“Your Majesty, how about 10,000 people first.”
As the minister of households, Lu Chang’s life can be said to be the most difficult, and Daming’s finances are faced with a collapse almost all the time.
Now there are 100,000 immigrants.
This sudden consumption and the resulting stress are no joke.
These are real people.
On the eve of thousands of kilometers, the distance is nearly ten thousand miles. In this case, people eat horses on the road, and God knows how much it will consume.
There’s still a fight on the other side.
The South still needs to recover.
If this is not done, the entire Ming Dynasty’s finances will be completely collapsed.
As the minister of households, he had to speak.
