Daming heir

Chapter 468 Want to make peace with Daming?

Don't know when it started.

Zhu Yunxi found that all the people around him, regardless of martial arts, suddenly became belligerent.

As long as there is a problem, the first solution that this group of people think of is to go out and grab it.

This seems to be a good phenomenon, but it is a situation that needs to be guarded against.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and did not give Yuan Sutai any hints in that sentence, but asked: "Why is Master so keen on raising cattle and sheep now?"

"My Ming people need beef and mutton."

Yuan Sutai calmly said the most truthful answer in his heart.

The officials of the Shanglin Court Supervisor who were present were stunned for a moment. Could such an answer be what His Royal Highness Taisun wanted to hear?
In today's situation where not everyone can have a full stomach, Jianzheng told His Royal Highness Taisun that he wanted the common people to eat meat, which is undoubtedly a fantasy.

Tian Mai was also a little puzzled, this young master was quite different from other officials in the court.

If it were another official, when faced with this problem, he would first list countless reasons for doing so, and finally use countless arguments to prove that what he did was necessary.

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"People need more meat to eat, there is no doubt about it."

Yuan Sutai sighed lightly: "It's not that I don't know the priorities, the current court's top priority is to make everyone in the world eat well, and then how to eat better.

It's just that Weichen is old, really old.Weichen wants to do more things in his lifetime, even if Weichen can't see that people in the world can eat meat when he is alive, at least it will make it easier for future generations to continue to do things.

Monan and Mobei are good places, where there are boundless pastures, which is not available in the Central Plains.It's just that the Central Plains has never really gained a firm foothold there since ancient times, and it cannot be disarmed and returned to the fields, herding cattle and sheep among the white clouds and green grass. "

"Grassing cattle and sheep among the white clouds and green grass..." Zhu Yunxi groaned, his eyes a little dazed.

If Daming really did this, maybe he could really avoid that disaster and walk on a different path forward.

Yuan Sutai turned sideways and made a gesture of respect, and led Zhu Yunxi to the cattle and sheep pen not far from the paddock.

The young master of the empire, who was already full of white hair inadvertently, walked very steadily without shaking his shoulders.

Yuan Sutai walked in front, looked sideways and said: "Your Highness, the minister and the imperial hospital have verified that under the same circumstances, people who eat meat only need a small amount of food to fill their stomachs. But eating food alone requires more food." .

And for a commoner who has been unable to eat beef and mutton for a long time, it only takes more than a month to pile up the flesh on his body.

And the dried beef and mutton can also be used for military rations.It is convenient for the army to go out, and the soldiers go in to replenish their hunger.

And a large number of cattle and sheep are raised, and the manure produced can be used to make agricultural fertilizer, which is released between the fields to increase soil fertility.The breeding of poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese can clean up the insect eggs in the field and reduce the possibility of insect damage in the coming year. "

Obviously, Shanglin Yuanjian tried to add more meat to the Ming people, not on a whim, but after full consideration.

Even Zhu Yunxi can be sure that this matter may be because when Shanglin Yuanjian tried to increase food production, the animal manure he obtained could increase soil fertility, and poultry could reduce insect pests, especially a new attempt extended.

Zhu Yunxi nodded affirmatively and said: "When the soil is limited, both crop rotation and fattening are indispensable. It is just raising poultry, and ordinary people may also be able to do it, but cattle and sheep may have to be raised by the supervisor of Shanglin Garden. Only in this way can the production be guaranteed and the cattle and sheep will not starve to death."

Yuan Sutai looked at the haystacks beside the enclosure.

These were all paid by the supervisor of Shanglin Court, and the common people took them back from various places in Yingtian.

There are also bean cakes, rice husks, etc., which are also purchased from the people.

The gray-haired Yuan Shaoshi chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Monan can graze hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep..."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi burst into laughter immediately, and looked at Yuan Sutai: "Aren't you afraid that the young master will be impeached to encourage Gu's militant heart?"

Yuan Sutai's face paused, and he said seriously: "This is to let the people of Ming Dynasty eat more meat, not for the selfishness of my minister."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Master, don't worry, I, Da Ming, should always maintain a belligerent spirit, but under this, I must also have the ability to restrain myself."

"I don't understand frontier wars." Yuan Sutai thought for a while, and then continued: "I have been staying in the Shanglin Court all day long, but I also know that the imperial court has conquered the east and the south in recent years to expand the territory.

Nine Sides even went north to conquer beyond the Great Wall, but they only focused on driving out and weakening the grasslands, and never had the idea of ​​occupying the great pastures.

The minister wondered whether the court could try to take these pastures for itself after the conquest.

I, the Zhongyuan people, have been farming hard for thousands of years, so I shouldn’t have learned to herd herds.That great pasture should also have our Zhongyuan people grazing cattle and sheep. "

This is a person who does things purely and is also a pure official.

Zhu Yunxi was unable to criticize Yuan Sutai's ideas.

As the supervisor of Shanglin Garden, the first thing Yuan Sutai thought about was how to make the people of Daming eat better and better.

But he knows that this is something that cannot be done in decades or even a hundred years.

Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly: "Even if the imperial court guards Monan and part of Mobei, it is impossible for everyone in my Ming Dynasty to eat meat."

This is a very helpless fact.

Meat has never been available to everyone.

Yuan Sutai's expression darkened, and he broke away from the fantasy that every Ming people could eat meat.

However, Yuan Sutai still tried to say: "There can only be more pastures, and more people can always eat meat."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "If there is such a time, the imperial court will consume more than half of the meat. Court officials, meritorious generals, millions of Ming soldiers, and then local gentry, merchants, and common people. Of course, the imperial court now wants to open more schools. If the sons of the common people are widely accepted, the imperial court will inevitably increase the supply of meat, but if everyone in the world wants to eat meat, I am afraid that we will not see it in this life..."

Zhu Yunxi felt that being able to see that everyone in the world is full in this life is already the greatest merit he has done.

Everyone eats meat?

Yuan Sutai became more and more worried.

He is not utopian, but he can't change his vision, which is incompatible with today's world.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Master, do you know that Mahamu, the envoy sent by Timur, the fierce brother of the Wala tribe outside the Guan, is now in Yingtian?"

"An envoy from the Oala tribe?" Yuan Sutai turned around with doubts on his face.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Perhaps, the young master's idea that everyone in the world eats meat can't be solved right now. But Gu can guarantee that at least Da Ming can eat more meat, it can be done!"

Yuan Sutai's eyes lit up immediately.

Hearing His Highness Taisun's words, it seems that he is determined to attack the grassland outside the pass.

Otherwise, it would not be said that Daming would have more meat when the Wara tribe had already sent envoys.

This obviously did not intend to discuss with the Wala tribe properly.

Zhu Yunxi didn't talk much about his plans for the grasslands outside the pass. Just as Yuan Sutai himself said, he doesn't understand military affairs, so it's better to let this old man do other great things with peace of mind.

After noon, Zhu Yunxi left from the Shanglin Court Prison.

Leaving with him were a few farmers carrying loads. In the heavy baskets were the current fruits and vegetables grown by the supervisor of Shanglin Garden, and some were rare fruits and vegetables cultivated in greenhouses.

If it weren't for the fact that some of them were reserved for seedlings, Zhu Yunxi would probably have plundered the entire Shanglin Court Prison.

However, after Zhu Yunxi left, Yuan Sutai, the imperial junior teacher with the highest official position in the court, was completely numb.

Looking at the chickens, ducks and geese surrounding him, and the yelling cattle and sheep not far away, Yuan Sutai's entire face darkened.

Several officials of Shanglin Yuanjian shut their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.

"50 tons of sweet potatoes..."

Yuan Sutai muttered in a low voice, only feeling dazzled by this huge number.

If these 50 tans of sweet potatoes were sent out of the customs by my own hands, I am afraid that I would immediately bear the infamy of being an enemy.

But the order of the grandson cannot be violated.

Yuan Sutai could doubt anyone, but he couldn't doubt that His Royal Highness would do something that would harm Daming.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Sutai took a deep breath and turned to look at his colleagues around him.

"Everyone knows what His Highness means. The 50 tans of sweet potatoes must be taken out next year and sent outside the customs."

"The 50 tons of sweet potatoes have to be planted by me in Shanglinyuan Supervision. I can't make the people who have finally had something to eat hungry again because of the incident outside the customs."

"Discuss with Yingtian Mansion to see if there are wastelands in various places that I have allowed to be reclaimed by the supervisor of Shanglin Garden. If there is still not enough, I will go to the palace to see if I can temporarily use some Huangzhuang."

Yuan Sutai has already decided to pay attention.

Now that Shanglin Yuanjian wants to raise cattle and sheep, and His Royal Highness needs 50 dans of sweet potatoes, then I will take advantage of the opportunity to raise this amount.

People can eat sweet potatoes, as can cattle and sheep.

An official said in a low voice: "Your Highness is using it outside the customs, I am afraid that I will not explain the root cause to the court in detail and keep it a secret. At that time, I am afraid that the prison will be questioned by the court."

Yuan Sutai shook his robe, and said seriously: "The important affairs of the country, if the ministers doubt them, they will eventually be known. If you cherish your body, how can the country be achieved?"

Everyone immediately became serious.

"Young master is righteous!"

……

"Wala wants to make peace with me, Daming. At this moment, Mahamu is entering the Huagai Palace to ask to marry the daughter of my clan."

Ding Deng Deng.

Zhu Gaochi, who had been guarding in front of Youshun Gate for a long time, was waiting for Zhu Yunxi to return to the palace. He watched him return from the Meridian Gate from a distance, and immediately walked over quickly, whispering about the current situation in the palace in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi turned around and called Tian Mai to take the farmer who brought the burden from the supervisor of Shanglin Garden to the palace, and sent the fruits and vegetables to the East Palace, in case he would cook a few dishes for the grandson concubine and side concubine later.

And he looked at Xiaopang who rushed over.

Glancing at the Youshun Gate, there used to be the location of the tax office.

"Marriage?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Brother Xun who had just returned to the palace, and saw that the other party frowned after only one sentence, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Obviously, Brother Xun probably disagreed with the marriage proposal proposed by the Wala tribe.

Zhu Gaochi said softly: "After all, it was an envoy sent by the Wara tribe, and he handed over the memorial to the palace. It is not good for the emperor to wipe the face of the Wara tribe at this time, so he asked the uncle to meet him in the Huagai Palace. one sight."

Or because of the Mongolian Tatars on the east side of the Great Wall.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes turned colder. Although the Central Plains has been restored for nearly 30 years, the Ming Dynasty has not gained much oppressive advantage over the grassland.

It's always been like this to fight a gang to win a gang.

The ancestors of the Central Plains people had mastered the strategy of long-distance and close-attack, and vertical and horizontal alliances long ago.

Zhu Yunxi pondered and said: "Mahamu wants to marry the daughter of my Ming clan for Meng Ge Timur's son?"

Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a moment, hesitating what to say.

Zhu Yunxie's eyes flashed sharply: "Who do you want to marry!"

Zhu Gaochi, who was facing Zhu Yunxi's oppressive eyes, couldn't help swallowing, and said in a softer voice: "It's sister Shu..."

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yunxi immediately sneered coldly, his gaze was already looking at the three main halls behind Fengtian Gate.

After shouting angrily, Zhu Yunxi picked up his steps and wanted to go to the Huagai Palace.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly followed, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, the emperor will definitely not agree. Even if the emperor intends to win over the Wara tribe, it is absolutely impossible for the uncle to marry sister Shu outside the pass."

Zhu Yunxi turned a deaf ear to it.

From Fengtianmen to Huagaidian, he has walked this road many years and many times, but he has never been more impatient than this time.

When Zhu Yunxi walked to the front of Huagai Hall, Mahamu was facing his back in the open hall door, bowing his hands in front of your steps, talking to the Ming emperor and crown prince on your steps.

Sun Gou'er, who was serving the emperor, saw His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson coming back from a distance.

Immediately, he bent down and listened to the emperor's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is back."

"Da Ming is a noble country, rich in the country, Vega..."

Mahamu, the envoy of the Wara Department, was still flattering Daming, but Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked outside the hall.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and waved towards the outside of the hall.

Zhu Yunxi immediately bowed and stepped across the gate of the palace, and walked briskly past Mahamu to the front of the steps.

"Grandson sees Grandpa Huang, sees father."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice: "You are all fathers, and you are still playing around outside all day. Where did you go to play today?"

Mahamu is still trying to marry back the daughter of the Ming clan for the sake of the prosperity of the Oala tribe.

I didn't want that damn grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty to appear here.

Mahamu closed his mouth, quietly watching the grandson of the Ming emperor standing in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi turned sideways slightly, and looked back at Mahamu with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little ambiguous, making it hard to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

Mahamu couldn't make up his mind, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "The foreign ministers will see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

"It's Mahamu's envoy." Zhu Yunxi chuckled lightly, then glanced back at his old man on the throne, and just took the time to look like he was watching a play.

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said: "I heard that the Wara Department wants to make peace with my Ming Dynasty. I wonder which daughter of Brother Menger Timur is going to be sent to my Ming Dynasty?"
