my days with tyrants

Zhu Di should also want to escape.

After all, judging from the current situation, Zhu Yunxi already has an absolute advantage.

And although he didn't tear his face apart, if Zhu Yunxi succeeds to the throne, as long as he is still in the capital, he will undoubtedly be like meat on the chopping board.

It's the same in Fuso.

Because Fusang didn't have his direct lineage either.

His guards are all in Beiping, and the commander of Fusang is currently under the command and envoy. They are all the soldiers of the southern guards when they conquered the Japanese kingdom. There are a total of six guards there, two in the Echigo area, and four in the Kanto Plain, including Edo. guard.As for the commander of the Fusang capital, Qi Bin is based in Guhewei, which is actually Guhecheng, and then conscripted the chieftains to expand it into a new city...

That is, after improvement, it is more suitable for artillery defense.

Of course, it's not a bastion, but a Chinese-style city wall with a fort like Ningyuan City.

As for the control method similar to that of Guizhou, the Uesugi family got a consolation envoy, and then Date and other major lords received a consolation envoy.

Small lords get long lawsuits.

In fact, most of them are long-term lawsuits. After all, the Uesugi family alone has a bunch of branches.

These branches are all city lords, and they all surrendered together. Of course, they have to be guaranteed fiefdoms, so they are all chief judges.

The entire Fusang has six guards under the command envoy, eight garrisons of thousands of households, one consolation envoy, six envoys for envoys, and dozens of chief judges.

The guards of the Ming army were mixed with it.

The land of the Weisuobing was actually the land of those lords who were loyal to the Wa country and participated in resisting the Ming army and then were destroyed.

As for the Mao people in the northern mountain forest, that is handed over to the neighboring chieftain to solve, and Hokkaido does not belong to the commander of Fusang, it belongs to the commander of Huining. There are two guards on Sakhalin Island, but there is a guard in Hokkaido. Yuqianhusuo.Don't look at this lonely place guarding thousands of households, just like exile, but it is actually the most popular place in Huiningdusi. Everyone rushes to go there. The reason is actually very simple, it is worse than Longquanwei. comfortable.

Longquanwei's climate is barely able to sustain agriculture, and Jinghaiwei is completely unable to farm, that is, it can fish and hunt...

In fact, there is only one reason why the Han family Qianhu in Jinghaiwei can stay.

whaling industry.

They are not permanently stationed like other military households, there is no way to do so, so in fact, their family members are all in the south, and then he himself goes to Whale Guard, and the rotation is every three years, but this rotation is done by his brother, or It may be the son, in short, it is replaced by Yu Ding of his family. The family of each soldier is fixed, but the person is not fixed.

Then they hunted whales there.

And their family members, of course, became whale oil sellers.

Very fat.

As for Hokkaido's Shougo Sento, which is located in Sapporo, the climate is close to Beiping, and even slightly warmer.

Normal agriculture can already be maintained.

Compared with the other guards of Huining Dusi, this is already the best place.

The commander of Fusangdu is Honshu Island north of Arakawa, and Zhu Di can't do much in this place, even if Zhu Yuanzhang moves him there, it's useless.

Raise troops with the Japanese country?

Those chieftains would sell him without hesitation.

Now, he should have no ambition to compete for the position of crown prince, but he is more worried that Zhu Yunxi will solve him after Lao Zhu's death, so he hides as far as possible in the past two years, after all, Lao Zhu's health is getting worse day by day .

Old Zhu probably meant the same thing.

He is not worried about Zhu Di's rebellion now, but he has to worry about Zhu Yunxi killing his uncle.

Throw Zhu Di to Mobei, bring an elite army, and when he is dying, he will make an order that the feudal lords from all over the country are not allowed to return to Beijing for the funeral, so it is not easy for Zhu Yunxi to kill Zhu Di, after all, he is fighting outside, you It's a bit immoral to want to kill people.Moreover, Zhu Di has an elite army in his hands, Peiping also has his guards, and there are a lot of old troops in the whole north who regard him as the God of War.

As for bringing Yang Feng...

That is to show Zhu Yunxi and the world that he has no dissent!

Because everyone knew that Yang Feng was with Zhu Yunxie, and he took Yang Feng with him. Zhu Di really wanted to rebel, and with Yang Feng's fighting power, he took it directly.

And Yang Feng's reputation is enough to suppress his subordinates.

But Yang Feng did not obey Zhu Yunxie's orders. His identity was relatively neutral, and he could even be said to uphold justice.

The relationship with Zhu Di is also good.

If Zhu Yunxi wanted to kill Zhu Di in this situation, he would instead mediate.

In this case……

Then follow along!
It happened that Yang Feng was also going to Huining.

He contracted the supply of military supplies after Huining Capital Division. Although the supply of the two guards of Longquan and Jinghai is indeed not a big problem, after all, these are all shipped by sea, and the rest are the other three guards.

Huiningwei, Jilinwei, Wuguowei.

In fact, not only these three guards, Huining Dusi also has seven guards of thousands of households.

In the guards of the Ming Dynasty, there were actually a large number of garrisons of thousands of households, and these were directly under the commander of the capital.

Based on the current situation, the supply of these garrisons can be satisfied, but the cost is high. Not only will there be no profit, but they will lose money. However, Yang Feng has no profit at all. The exchange condition for his contract is that all the development proceeds of Huiningdu Command and Envoy Division will be returned. That's all he is, but at this time there is a fart development income.There are currently three routes being supplied there. The first is the wooden rail in Liaodong, which will lead to Jilin in the future. The other route will be transported to Qingjin Port by sea, and then transported by land to the upper reaches of the Songhua River, which is the south of Antu. The starting point varies according to the season. , Anyway, if you can drift, you don’t even have a decent boat, because they are all disposable and there is enough wood, just make a raft.

Originally, those chieftains were of the nature of service, and the degenerates sent young men to undertake it.

Drifting in this way until the intersection of Hetoudao River, there is really a shipyard there, and there is a guard of thousands of households in Huining Dusi.

That's a good place, too.

Because this Qianhusuo is the temple guard army.

What they guard is Changbaishan Temple, one of the three major temples in Huining.

Originally, the Changbai Mountain Temple was located in Erdaobaihe, Antu in history. The Ming Dynasty dispatched more than 8000 troops to cut wood all the way forward, and finally used the ruins of the Jin Kingdom Temple to build the Changbai Mountain Temple there, but Yang Feng thinks this kind of thing is a bit exaggerated , not only the cost is too high but also the masters will be very painful in the future.

Really.

It is difficult to find someone in that place in modern times, let alone in this era.

Although the masters do need to be pure to study Buddhism, it is not necessary to be so pure.

Therefore, from Jilin water transport upwards, pick a geomantic treasure by the Baishan Reservoir, and build a temple with Changbai Mountain as its back. The masters also like it, and it is also convenient for those tribal people to visit. If they have to build it on Changbai Mountain, they will follow it It's like survival in the wild.Facts have proved that Yang Feng's choice is very correct. Because this Changbai Mountain Temple is located at the node of water transportation, it quickly became the spiritual destination for those chieftains who worshiped piously.Everyone went to Liangjiangkou to worship Buddha in their spare time and conduct some trade. They were greatly satisfied spiritually and materially, and then they could go home by boat with a peaceful mind.

Occasionally, under the protection of soldiers, masters would go to these chieftains to preach Buddhism, and even build temples equivalent to semicolons.

In Huining's primeval forest, there is the sound of chanting sutras everywhere.

Everyone is getting more and more peaceful.

And the temple guard army is responsible for dividing the taxes of the chieftains in the jurisdiction, dividing the trading materials, and even dividing the donations received by the temple masters...

It's like dividing the spoils.

No one cares whether it is three or four or six.

That place hangs alone in the Changbai Mountains, not to mention court officials, even Huining Dusi didn't bother to take care of it.

And the garrison is the same as the Whale Sea Guard, which is of a shift nature. After all, it has to be given enough benefits to let people garrison in that kind of place.

The third route is by sea to Longquanfu.

However, it is different from what Yang Feng imagined. Although wooden sailboats can reach Longquanfu along the upstream of the Tumen River, there are too many restrictions, especially for fully loaded transport ships. , and then transported by land to Longquan Mansion, and then from Longquan Mansion to Dunhua.This section depends on the situation. If the situation is good, there will be some water transportation, and the rest will be drifting on the Mudanjiang River. This line is mainly to supply the five kingdoms.

But supplying them is not the most important thing. It can be maintained at present, just to lose some money.

What really matters is Yang Feng's Huining development.

If you want to transport large quantities of materials, you must open up stable freight transport, and the harvest of grain is at the end of autumn, and it will be winter when the harvest is completed, but it is definitely impossible to transport in winter. Minus [-] degrees is not a joke, so we can only wait until the second year Spring begins, but the freight by sea must go south in winter, because the south wind is in summer.Therefore, the transportation mode can only be transported to the port in the spring of the second year, and at the same time, the transport fleet goes north to load the ship, and then leaves the port and goes south in winter when the north wind blows. Sales to farmers were previously completed.

Now this ancient version of compound fertilizer is hot.

bean cake as the basis, then add more precious bird droppings to increase fertility, and then mix in a small amount of insecticidal...

There is no standard formula for this thing, and its basis is various materials that increase nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. As for the formulas that are circulated, it is just because there are no better materials of this kind, so they are made according to the material, but the first in this kind of things Guano, second bean cake.

It doesn't even have to be so troublesome, just use fermented bird droppings or bean cakes.

Since Yang Feng wanted to ferment, he added some messy substances to increase the mystery and attraction, especially insecticidal materials.

There is limited guano here, but bean cakes can be supplied in almost unlimited quantities as long as the black soil is developed.

This was originally the main fertilizer for rice fields in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, especially the bean cake was the main support for the development of western Liaoning.

Millions of soybeans are transported from the Liaohe River to the south of the Yangtze River every year.

Then the problem is coming.

How can large-scale outward transport?
Only by water.

Neither do wooden tracks.

And it must be the lowest-cost downstream water transport.

Well, there is only one option, to release the fish from the Songhua River, and after the beginning of spring, the fleet will go straight down the Songhua River to the Whale Triton.

Go to Temple Street.

And the shipping fleet is riding the ocean current and the south wind to go north at the same time, arrive at Temple Street and wait for loading, and then go south immediately after the north wind blows. More than 2000 kilometers, and more than 3000 kilometers by sea.But for the transportation of bulk commodities, this is the only choice. After all, the wooden rail carriage is not a railway, and that little capacity can transport some military supplies to the garrison. It is impossible to expect it to undertake bulk cargo transportation.

Such transportation can only be done by boat.

And even if you use a boat, in this era when you can only rely on sails, you can't be against the current, unless there are enough people along the route.

But what Huining lacks the most is population, so it can only go downstream.

The longer the distance, the farther it is. In fact, it saves time. It is enough to drift from Harbin to Temple Street for a month.

The average speed of the current is not more than one meter per second. Even if you dare not go at night, two months is enough, and the sea is even faster than this in winter.

"Ambassador, why are you so obsessed with Huining? With your investment, you can easily make money in other places in Daming, but investing in a place like Huining will bring you nothing but burden yourself. Even if you If you can complete this kind of transportation, you won’t actually make money, at most you will lose less money. Even if the output is indeed [-]% to [-]% higher than that in the mainland, it will not make you money, because you have to pay those reclamation teams more wages.

several times more than in the Mainland.

Even if you have other benefits, such as gold panning is useless.

Gold panning also requires a large number of people. They need food, clothing, and housing, all of which cost more than in the mainland.

In the south of the Yangtze River, a bowl of rice can be enough to eat with a plate of vegetables. In that place, you can’t afford not to eat meat. You just have to eat a lot of fish and meat. The amount of food I eat there is twice that of the capital. A thin cotton coat can last the whole winter, where you have to wear fur and wrap yourself like a bear. A thatched hut in the capital is enough to keep out the wind and rain, where the walls are more than one foot thick, and there is no kang Frozen to death in winter.

And there is almost nothing to do in winter.

In winter in the capital, you can ask your men to build canals, roads, and dams, but you can only let them hide in the house to warm up.

It means you have to raise them for nothing all winter.

It's all about money.

You won't make any money there.

No matter what you do, you will not make money. "

Ma He looked at Yang Feng puzzled.

At this time, they were on the flagship of Yingjiahe. This huge ship of [-] materials was named Danque by Emperor Ming himself.

Danque title Jiahe it!

His Majesty the Emperor is still looking forward to it.

And Yang Feng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was worshiping in person surrounded by the officials, and could see that His Majesty the Emperor was really old. Originally, he could only live for one year in history. Just two or three years.

"You're right."

Yang Feng said.

He actually stated the essence of the problem...

Unless the strategic consideration of cost is not considered, it will not be popular there, because everything needs to invest more cost.

Food, clothing and housing...

Even building a toilet would be different.

"But the problem is that some things cannot be considered in terms of interests."

He said.
