Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 31 Yang Qing is such a patriotic and loyal minister.
"Yang Qing's report?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao immediately put down his work and said. "Send it over quickly!"

After receiving the memorial from a eunuch, Zhu Biao's brows, which had been furrowed all day, finally relaxed.

The young eunuch was curious about who Yang Xian was, that he could please the prince so much.

You must know that the Crown Princess Chang has been here in the past two days, and the concubine Lu has also been here.

But Prince Zhu Biao still had that frowning expression.

Unlike now, there is still a smile on his face.

Zhu Biao was worried about how to solve the problem of military rations in the northern border areas. Yang Xian's memorial came at the right time.

How could he be unhappy.

Zhu Biao naturally knew about the great harvest in Yangzhou.

However, Yangzhou was originally a suffering state capital that needed the support of the imperial court. It was hard to achieve a good harvest through all the hard work on its own, but the imperial court in turn came to Yangzhou for food.

Zhu Biao was too embarrassed to say this.

But if Yang Xian took the initiative, it would be different.

Food for wool?
In Zhu Biao's eyes, this is just an excuse.

An excuse for Yang Xian to take care of him and the dignity of the court.

How could wool be as important as food?
The Ming Dynasty court itself kept official sheep.

In addition to being used by priests, the biggest use of official sheep is food.

The most precious thing about a sheep is its meat.

In addition to pork, chicken, and chicken, which account for a large share of the daily meat in the palace, mutton is also used in huge amounts.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, even though Zhu Yuanzhang advocated frugal diet, the prince and concubine were still required to eat one pound of mutton per day, which was considered an extremely simple dietary ration.

As for wool and sheepskin, it is basically used in houses, tents, beds, etc.

It's not that wool is useless, but it simply can't be compared with grain.

Yang Qing is such a patriotic and loyal minister!

Zhu Biao was moved.

Start writing a reply immediately.

A total of two letters were written, sent to Yangzhou and the northern border areas.

Here in Yangzhou.

Zhu Biao's reply did not exceed Yang Xian's expectations.

He smiled slightly, put the letter aside, and continued to "write" his Dream of Red Mansions.

If he relied solely on memory, it would be impossible for Yang Xian to remember Cao Xueqin's judgments and sentences that were beautiful but difficult to remember.

Now if you copy it from the book, it will be much simpler.

When Yang Xian copied it, he was reading Dream of Red Mansions again at the same time.

The more I look at it, the more I admire it.

In some respects, Red Mansions has indeed reached a peak.

As for whether the Red Mansion would become acclimatized in Ming Dynasty, Yang Xian was not worried at all.

He is extremely confident in his Dream of Red Mansions. A cow is still a cow when it is brought to the capital.

Dream of Red Mansions came to this world hundreds of years in advance. It is still Dream of Red Mansions and still a great figure.

Peiping.

Xu Da was training the frontier troops. Each square formation looked very majestic, the soldiers were fully armed, and the school grounds were filled with murderous intent.

This frontier army can be said to be the most elite army in the Ming Dynasty today.

Xu Da is very satisfied with these men under his opponent.

But as the old saying goes, a soldier must eat his food, and a soldier must eat his food.

Those who can serve as soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not having food to eat.

Xu Da didn't want to think that he was not defeated by the Mongols, but lost to a meal.

"General! Reply from the capital!"

At this time, a Pi quickly ran from a distance, came to Xu Da's side, knelt down on one knee and raised his hands.Xu Da reached for the reply letter and said casually: "There should be a reply about the military rations before. You can go ahead."

Don't look at Xu Da's calm behavior.

But he didn't have high hopes for the content of the reply.

The Ming Dynasty had just been founded, and its national power was already empty. He knew this very well.

Xu Da didn't expect the imperial court to solve the military ration problem at once. He only needed the imperial court to allocate part of it first, so that he could at least overcome the current difficulties.

It's almost winter.

It's impossible not to give them any food.

Originally, opening the Chinese method could solve part of the military ration problem.

But since the new salt production method came out, salt prices across the country have plummeted, which indirectly affected the Kaizhong method.

Xu Da thought so in his heart, and opened the reply letter. At first, his face was still unconcerned, but soon he showed a look of extreme shock.

Didn't I read it wrong?

Looking at the words "the required military rations will be allocated in full and on schedule" written on the reply letter, Xu Da thought for a time that he had read it wrong.

"My nephew is really capable now." Xu Da was very pleased.

He then looked back. After learning that Yangzhou needed wool, he pondered for a moment and immediately called his men.

Have your men prepare the wool.

When sweeping up the Beiyuan forces on the grassland, tribes were attacked from time to time. In addition to prisoners, they also captured their grazing cattle, sheep and horses.

Among them, sheep are the most numerous.

Therefore, the most important meat for the frontier troops was mutton.

The fat sheep on the grassland have rich meat and rich mutton flavor.

The sheepskins and wool were all piled aside without much treatment.

Over the past few years, the number has already reached a very impressive level.

In addition to leaving some of the border troops for their own use, the rest were originally intended to be taken to the capital.

Now it's just a different destination, and it doesn't make any difference to Xu Da.

"Chen Heng, you personally lead a team to Yangzhou." Xu Da called his cronies and explained all the matters for this trip to Yangzhou.

Originally, generals of Chen Heng's level were not needed for things like transporting grain.

This shows how seriously Xu Da takes this incident.

The northern frontier troops worked vigorously and resolutely. They quickly loaded bags of wool into trucks and then headed for Yangzhou under the leadership of Chen Heng.

Beijing.

Zhu Huan's road construction failed again and again.

"Don't you mean just melt the asphalt and spread it on the ground?"

Looking at the messy road, Zhu Yan was confused.

The road construction money given by the court has long been used up. Not only that, he even spent almost all his private money in order to build the road.

"What went wrong?!" Zhu Yan's eyes were red and bloodshot.

Unwilling to give up, he decided to try again.

But it was impossible for the imperial court to give him any more money.

Zhu Yan suddenly thought of Wang Yuemin's Mingji Dessert Shop, and his eyes lit up.

Mingji knows how prosperous the dessert shop's business is now. If he had known that a dessert shop could make so much money, and if he had known that a high-ranking prince would be short of money, he would have got involved in the business.

Now I can only bite the bullet and go for it. It is no longer important at this time to save face.

I just asked Wang Yuemin to help me write a letter to Yangzhou to ask about the asphalt road.

Zhu Yan could not afford another failure.

Because of this, he was laughed at by several of his brothers.
