Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

"Look, it's the border marker. We finally escaped!"

In a jungle in the south, a hundred or so people who looked like beggars saw a tombstone with a golden dragon painted on it in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"Shut up, do you want to attract the Yan Army?"

Yu Qian, with a disheveled beard, scolded in a low voice and turned to look at Adolf.

"Headmaster, we have arrived. Where should we go next?"

Adolf, who was relatively clean after being taken care of by everyone, also looked at the boundary marker excitedly.

It has been a month since I escaped from Nanjiao City, and I have been being chased and running all the way.

If it were just that it would be fine, but it has been raining for the past half month.

In this cold winter month of the first month, many people fell to the ground due to hunger, cold and illness.

There were several hundred people when we set out, but now there are only about 100 left.

After sniffing the clear snot from the frozen ground, Adolf pointed to the distance and said, "After crossing this mountain, we will reach the seaside pier. There will be a ship to pick us up there."

"They are over there, chase them..."

As Adolf finished speaking, shouts and footsteps were heard behind him.

Everyone's face changed, and Yu Qian hurriedly said, "Hurry up, the pursuers are catching up."

No one dared to stop and carried Adolf towards the boundary marker.

"Bang bang..."

There were bursts of gunfire from behind, and people kept falling to the ground screaming.

Adolf wanted to look back, but Yu Qian pulled him forward desperately.

"Hurry up, Führer. Everything will be fine once we get out of the border."

Everyone stumbled and ran, but the gunshots behind them became more and more frequent.

Yu Qian showed a difficult look on his face, and said to Adolf: "You go first, I will lead people to stop them."

"Brother, this is too dangerous."

Adolf didn't want to lose a powerful general, so he grabbed Yu Qian's hand.

"Let's go." Yu Qian pushed Adolf away and shouted, "If you don't run now, you will never be able to escape. Remember your great goals and ideals. When you succeed in the future, don't forget us."

Looking at the crazy Yu Qian, Adolf's eyes turned red.

This month of sharing life and death has forged a solid friendship between them.

On one occasion, he sprained his foot, and Yu Qian carried him on his back for a whole day and night.

Adolf swore in his heart at that time that as long as these people did not do anything to let him down in the future, he would let them enjoy the highest honor.

"Brother, we are waiting for you out front."

Adolf also understood that if no one stopped him, no one would be able to escape, so he could only grit his teeth and shout, and with the support of the man named Chen, he gritted his teeth and ran towards the boundary marker.

"Come on, you lackeys of the imperial court, I will fight you to death."

The dense gunfire and Yu Qian's roar behind him made Adolf clench his fists tightly. Several times he wanted to go back and save Yu Qian without hesitation, but he was held back tightly by the man named Chen beside him.

After stumbling along the way, the group finally passed the boundary marker. However, there was a slope on the other side and they lost their balance and rolled down.

"Da da da da da..."

Fierce gunfire continued to ring out, with occasional roars.

However, the real scene is very speechless.

The person who had just been beaten to death was now sitting on the ground, eating and drinking madly from a bottle of water in one hand and in the other.

The Yan Army soldiers next to them raised their guns and shot into the sky, while teasing the people who were eating voraciously with a smile.

Yu Qian didn't eat anything, but just drank a few sips of water. After he had used up all the blank bullets in the machine gun, he said to the officer waiting beside him, "It's almost done. I'll take my men out first. Oh, by the way, have them replace all the blank bullets with live ammunition. We'll start the real work after we get over there."

The officer nodded and asked someone to bring the specially prepared bullets. Some soldiers also helped these embarrassed soldiers load ammunition.

"be careful."

After the bullets were loaded, Yu Qian took the remaining dozen people and packed up briefly. After confirming that nothing was exposed, they saluted the soldiers on the opposite side under Yu Qian's leadership.

The soldiers also returned the salute solemnly, their expressions full of admiration and seriousness.

"call!"

After taking a deep breath, Yu Qian looked towards the capital, knelt on one knee, put his hand on his chest and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will not let you down."

After saying that, he stood up, took care of the people around him, and quickly ran towards the boundary marker.

By the time the two parties met up, half an hour had passed.

Adolf looked at Yu Qian, who had escaped death with multiple wounds on his body, and excitedly went forward and hugged Yu Qian.

"My good brother, welcome back."

The two hugged each other for a while, and looked at a small cargo ship coming from the sea in the distance.

Adolf pointed at the boat and said with a look of longing: "Brothers, this ship is here to pick us up. It is also the start of our glorious future."

Turning around and looking at the embarrassed figures, Adolf said in a deep voice: "I promise you here that I will not forget the contributions of each of you, and I will not treat any of you unfairly." "I, Adolf, swear to the heavens here that as long as I live, you will be my most loyal and brave companions."

"Hail, Adolf!"

Yu Qian suddenly raised his hand and shouted to Adolf fanatically.

"Hail, Adolf!"

Others also raised their hands, looking at Adolf and shouting loudly with excitement and enthusiasm.

Adolf smiled and raised his hand to return the greeting.

When the group boarded the ship and the boat sailed into the depths of the sea, Adolf looked back at the land of Dayan and vowed: "Dayan, wait. I, Adolf, will come back again. When the time comes, you will surrender at my feet and become a lamb in my hands."

…………

"Extra, Extra. The liberals were completely defeated by the imperial court's attack. Most of their groups have been eliminated. The people in Nanjiao City who were affected by the disaster have been completely rescued."

"But in order to protect the people in the city, the troops sent by the imperial court did not use large-scale weapons, causing the bandit leader to escape."

"The imperial court has issued a wanted order and offered a high reward."

"Adolf, the leader of the liberal gang, has a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. The second-in-command, Yu Qian, has a reward of 8,000 taels of silver..."

The newsboy waved the newspaper and announced the important news as he ran.

"Kid, get me one!"

The old man in the capital quickly took out two cents and bought one.

It just so happened that the old guys who chatted with him a few days ago sat with him again today to play chess and chat.

"What is written on it? How did the imperial court settle the people in Nanjiao?"

The old man with gold-rimmed glasses raised his glasses and asked.

The old man who bought the newspaper curled his lips and said, "You will know if you buy one yourself."

"Haha!" The old man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled awkwardly and did not answer the question.

An old man nearby joked, "You don't know Lao Liu yet. His wife keeps all his money. He only had two cents in change today. He bought a fishing rod early in the morning and spent it all."

The old man with gold-rimmed glasses glared at the old man who was teasing him, then quickly stood up and walked to the side of the old man selling newspapers.

The newspaper man didn't care too much. He didn't know many words and still needed the other person's help to read the newspaper.

"Well, read it to everyone!"

Taking the newspaper from the newspaper man, the man with gold-rimmed glasses said slowly, "In addition to what the kid said, the court has also made arrangements for the southern diplomacy that Old Zhang is concerned about."

Several old men hurriedly sat up straight, and the old man with gold-rimmed glasses said, "For the people affected by the disaster, the court has decided to implement some policies in this area in advance and conduct targeted experiments to verify whether the policies are appropriate."

"First, corvée labor will be abolished here. From the announcement of the policy, there will be no more forced corvée labor. Recruitment will be completely free, and participants will receive a corresponding salary every month as a reward for their work. They are not allowed to work more than 6 hours a day, and they must have one day off every 10 days. They must be guaranteed three meals a day, and they must meet the corresponding standards."

"Second, agricultural taxes will be abolished here. From the announcement of the policy, this place will no longer pay agricultural taxes. However, it is emphasized that the land still belongs to the court. The people who own it can only rent it and cannot buy or sell it. If the court finds out, it will have the right to take back all the land."

"third,………"

As the policies were read out one by one, the old men's eyes lit up.

"Great, that's great. I just heard the news a while ago, but I didn't expect to receive it in the past two days. This part of the area has begun to implement it at a fixed point. I believe it will be promoted to the entire Dayan soon."

"Who says it's not? The main reason is that the court has expanded its territory so much. There are professional farms and pastures in the Central Plains. The court doesn't need much of the food that the people hand in."

"Besides, our court is not short of money. The cost of storing and protecting the grain collected from various places is no less than buying it."

After reading the newspaper, the old man with gold-rimmed glasses put down the newspaper, shook his head and said, "Life is indeed better, but there is also a bad thing, that is, food will not be valuable in the future."

"How do you say this?"

Several old men looked at him curiously.

Adjusting his glasses, the old man said, "The imperial court has abolished agricultural taxes, which means that our Great Yan Kingdom is no longer short of food."

"Things are valuable because they are scarce. Think about it, if there is no shortage of food, can it still be sold at a high price?"

"More importantly, as the imperial court vigorously develops, it will be difficult to improve further unless there are disasters in the future."

Patting the newspaper in his hand, he made a final summary: "The days when you could support your family by planting a few acres of land are gone. If you want your son to marry and have children, and if you want your family to live a happy life, planting alone is not enough."

He raised his hand and pointed at the first one: "This one shows the next plan of the court. It is to fully carry out the population mobility of the court, vigorously develop some important cities, and transfer the economic lifeline of the country to certain regions."

I have to say that this old man with gold-rimmed glasses is capable. He only took a look at the policies issued by the court and predicted the development of the Great Yan Kingdom in the next ten years.

It is unrealistic to make all the people in the country rich together. We can only improve a part of them first and then slowly bring them up.

This is a development strategy that Zhu Zhanjun and everyone else discussed for a long time and decided on.

It took 10 years to transform Dayan, an agricultural country, into an industrial country.

Although this will cause the poor to become poorer and the rich to become richer in the future, the entire court's economic system and funds will flow rapidly.

For most people, the disadvantages may outweigh the advantages, but for the court, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

In order to make the entire economic and industrial system develop rapidly, Zhu Zhanjun not only changed some strategies, but also decided to use all means to delay this war that swept the world until ten years later.

The method he used was Adolf and Yu Qian, letting these two fierce dragons cross the river to go to the Western world and stir up a frenzy there, so that other giants would not be able to focus on Da Yan. (End of this chapter)
