Daming: Lao Zhu is not dead yet, you want me to rebel?

Chapter 0076 Controlling the Yellow River! It is to stabilize the Ming Dynasty forever!

“You must know that raising horses is divided into many stages.”

“First, you have to start in the morning and mow the grass for the war horse”

“War horses are not just horses. War horses need to gallop in a wide range of places in order to be trained to have sufficient physical strength. Therefore, someone has to take time to work with the horses.”

“In addition, if the war horse gets sick, the farmer needs to raise money to treat it.”

“Have you noticed? Raising a war horse is extremely cumbersome. If any step goes wrong, all previous efforts may be wasted.”

“This is also the difficulty of raising horses.”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and nodded slightly when he heard this.

It is precisely because it is too difficult and easy to make mistakes that causes people to make mistakes in raising horses. They often fail to complete the task and pay money, leading to bankruptcy or even rebellion…

But at this time, he saw again Xiang Zhuheng said doubtfully:”Can the assembly line solve these problems?”

“good”

“The so-called assembly line is to separate these horse-raising links.”

“That is to say, we adopt the method of division of labor and cooperation.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Heng casually placed a few pieces on the chessboard, pointed at the chess pieces and said:”For example, this is all the steps of raising a horse.”

“First, I can give all the war horses to one of the households to take care of them. He doesn’t have to take care of anything, he only needs to feed them regularly.”

“Second, the grass cutting is given to one household, so that they don’t have to worry about the rest, just cut the grass and bring the grass to the horse farmers every day.”

“Third, the herding of war horses is also given to one household, and the rest do not have to take care of it.”

“Fourth, wash the war horses and give them to one of the households.”

“do you understand? What I do is to dismantle all the links. Only one household needs to do each link, and the others are not allowed to interfere.”

“Everyone performs their own duties and the division of labor is clear!”

The words fell.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Zhu Di opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhu Heng in disbelief:”How did you get this brain…?”

“What a wonderful idea!

He turned around suddenly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly and said,”Father, this can definitely greatly improve the efficiency of horse breeding!””

And Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but nodded:”That’s true.……”

He saw the subtlety of this strategy at a glance.

The most difficult thing about raising horses is that farmers don’t know how to raise horses.

They have to learn from scratch, which is very time-consuming, and what farmers lack most is time.

But this is an assembly line.

But specialized work is left to specialized people.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that it allows one person to specialize in one subject.

No matter how stupid you are, if you are only asked to do one of these things, you can still do it well.

In addition, there is great strength when there are many people, so that everyone can perform their own duties and avoid assigning blame to each other.

Can greatly improve efficiency!

Zhu Di also looked at Zhu Heng in amazement and said:”Why didn’t I think of such a simple method?”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and gave him a lesson and said:”How is this simple?”

Zhu Di was stunned:”This is not Just changed the breeding method……”

“It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult to come up with this strategy!

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and scolded:”The saddle is also very simple, but it didn’t appear until the Han Dynasty.””

“The curved shaft type is also very simple, but it was not invented until the Tang Dynasty.”

“The most difficult thing in the world is to influence the whole with a little change”

“This is called the finishing touch!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but take a deep look at Zhu Heng:”This assembly line is the finishing touch, the magic touch that turns stone into gold.”

The number of horse-raising people remains unchanged, but the management method is simply changed.

But it can improve the efficiency by more than one step!

This slight stroke by Zhu Heng can improve the horse-raising efficiency of the entire Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Di was reprimanded After a pause, he was thick-skinned and had no feeling. He even straightened his chest and said proudly:”Anyway, my brother came up with this method!”

“As expected of my brother! I knew you had a solution!”

“That’s not what you said before.”

Zhu Heng glanced at him speechlessly, but Zhu Di said without changing his expression:”That’s because I was ignorant before!”

“I can’t see through your depth!”

Zhu Heng looked at Zhu Di speechlessly. This guy is really shameless…

Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Heng with relief.

With this assembly line horse breeding, Zhu Heng can naturally raise good war horses because of the increased efficiency. This saves the people a lot of time in farming. As for the infertile mares, Zhu Heng can buy a few foals to fill them up.

, this poisonous plot against Zhu Heng was finally resolved by Zhu Heng.

This ability to move a thousand pounds with four ounces is truly amazing…

Zhu Biao was also beaming with joy at this moment, and couldn’t wait to say:”If the efficiency can be increased several times, how can it be done? Didn’t the Ming Dynasty no longer need to let people raise horses?”

“Just an official racecourse can raise enough war horses for the Ming army?”

This was his first reaction.

With the assembly line that can improve the efficiency of horse breeding, let’s reduce the burden on the people first!

And Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily:”Not bad.……”

The Ming court owed a lot to the people.

It can lift the mountain of Ma Zheng from the people and greatly reduce their burden.

This kind of good governance must be implemented as soon as possible. result

“Absolutely not!”

Zhu Heng immediately looked at everyone with a serious face:”Don’t even think about dedicating this strategy to the imperial court, it will cause big trouble!”

After the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment. He realized it after a moment and smiled bitterly:”Are you worried that after the imperial court discovers your talent, it will ask you to become an official?”

This is very similar to Zhu Heng’s thinking.

But this is a big deal, related to the burden of the people in the world. After reducing the burden on the people, how many people can be saved from having their families destroyed because of raising horses?

He was about to express his great righteousness to Zhu Heng again.

“It has nothing to do with being an official.

Zhu Heng said seriously:”If Ma Zheng is taken back, it will only make the people worse and even cause turmoil in the world!”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face was full of surprise:”How is it possible?”!”

Zhu Di was also stunned, then seemed to have figured out something, and said helplessly:”Brother, even if you don’t want to be an official, it’s not so serious.”

Zhu Biao also smiled bitterly and said:”At worst, we can offer it anonymously, to the common people. Already suffering from horse politics”

“How many people had their wives and children separated because of Ma Zheng?”

“Just take pity on them.”

Looking at the faces of several people advising him to change his evil ways and do good things.

Zhu Heng suddenly had a dark look on his face:”Am I such an insensitive image in your eyes?”

“yes.”

Zhu Di simply nodded.

“I’m crazy……”

Zhu Heng had the urge to hit him to death with a brick.

Zhu Yuanzhang also came to his senses at this moment and looked at Zhu Heng doubtfully:”Is there any other explanation here?”

“Of course there is.”

Zhu Heng rolled his eyes and said:”Ma Zheng has too many flaws, just like a broken ship. Fortunately, his foundation is still good and he can still sail smoothly.”

“I used the assembly line method and just tinkered with it.”

“If we make major changes directly, it will only cause this rotten ship to collapse and end up with the ship destroyed and everyone killed.”

“Compared with other flaws, Ma’s political abuse of the people is only the smallest one.”

“this……”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and couldn’t believe it.

We decided on the horse policy after painstaking consideration.

Even if there are mistakes, it’s not that big of a mistake, right?

This Ma Zheng is in Zhu Heng’s eyes.

So bad?

Seeing their expressions, Zhu Heng shook his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:”Since you know how to raise horses, you should know how many places in Ming Dynasty are suitable for raising horses, right?”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded hesitantly:”We know a few things, it’s just…”Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi front-line”

Ma Zheng is something he personally handles. Of course he understands these things.

“Did you find out? Do all the places suitable for raising horses in Ming Dynasty have one thing in common?

Zhu Yuanzhang said without thinking:”Of course they are all located in the north.””

“Not only that.

Zhu Heng continued:”There are also rivers”

“Lands where horses are raised require good pasture, so what they have in common is that they are all located near water.”

“Second, it is located in a plain”

“Now tell me, where are these horse breeding places? Zhu

Yuanzhang said without hesitation:”There is water shortage in the north, so racecourses can only be built near the Yellow River. Most of the official racecourses set up by the imperial court are on the Yellow River line of the three chief envoys of Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi.””

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhu Heng in confusion and said,”But what does this have to do with Ma Zheng’s flaws?

But Zhu Di rushed to answer:”I know!””

“The north was particularly severely affected by war.”

“Raising horses requires occupying a large area of good arable land along the river. What my brother is saying is that this will increase the burden on the people in the north?

Zhu Heng glanced at him and said,”The donkey’s lips are not what the horse’s mouth is.””

“The second flaw of Ma Zheng lies in the Yellow River!”

At this point, Zhu Heng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:”You have farmed the land, you should know the land fallow system.”

“If a piece of land is used continuously, the fertility of the land will gradually decrease until it becomes wasteland.”

“What would happen if horses were raised in large quantities on an assembly line in a government-run racecourse? Zhu

Yuanzhang suddenly frowned slowly and began to think silently…

But after a while, he said solemnly:”The land is abandoned?””

“This is just one of them.”

Zhu Heng continued:”Raising horses is like growing crops. If you raise a large number of horses on limited land, under the constant trampling of war horses, the fertility of the horse farm will be reduced, and it will be difficult to produce good pasture.”

“Without the restraint of plant roots, good land will not be able to lock in moisture, and good land will turn into sandy land.”

“This leads to the second result”

“Soil erosion!”

“But what does this have to do with the Yellow River?”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still puzzled.

Seeing their expressions, Zhu Heng shook his head slightly, and used his chess pieces to arrange three vertical rows on the chessboard.

Black chess on both sides, and white chess in the middle.

At this moment, in the disbelief of everyone,

Zhu Heng said slowly:”Suppose the white chess piece in the middle is the Yellow River and the black chess piece is the two sides.”

“The conditions for the formation of the river are nothing more than a ravine between the two banks, and the topography changes from high to low, causing the Yellow River to surge eastward into the sea.”

“The Yellow River flows through nine provinces and is located in the core area of China. It can be said to be the mother river of China.”

“But remember, everything is predicated on having both sides of the Taiwan Strait constrain it.」”

“However, the desertification caused by raising horses… will cause the land to become soft and undermine the stability of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.”

“And then… it was like this.”

As he spoke, Zhu Heng casually removed a few of the black chess pieces representing the two sides of the bank from the middle. Several gaps suddenly appeared in the originally tight black chess pieces.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s hands suddenly shook, and his face turned pale:”The Yellow River……break its banks.”

After a few chess pieces were taken away, a horrifying picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

The Yellow River surged into the sea. Once there were a few gaps, the Yellow River burst its banks on a large scale!

Tens of millions of people in the provinces on both sides of the strait Disaster!

“This this……”

Zhu Biao’s face also changed drastically, and his mind was trembling.

In any dynasty, the Yellow River bursting its banks was a major event!

Since ancient times, both sides of the Yellow River have been densely populated.

What will happen once the Yellow River breaks its banks?

There will be tens of millions of displaced people in the Ming Dynasty.

Millions of refugees!

It’s enough to ruin a prosperous era.

The Ming Dynasty was extremely sensitive to the issue of the Yellow River.

Because the Yuan Dynasty died because of the Yellow River!

One eye of the stone man stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River world!

Yin Jian is not far away!

If this is the case, then Zhu Heng really did not exaggerate the harm caused by Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng’s abuse of the people was only done slowly, but once the Yellow River bursts its banks, there will be chaos!

Zhu Di was even more trembling and unbelievable:”Ma Zheng’s influence is so great. Brother, are you sure about this?”

But Zhu Heng just sighed and said,”This is not my speculation, but what happened in history.” matter”

“”Shui Jing Zhu” written by Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty records that in the 400 years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks nine times on a large scale”

“”River Defense General Discussion” written by Shen Li of the Northern Song Dynasty records 1.1 that in the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks thirteen times on a large scale”

“The”Geographical Map of Yugong Mountains and Rivers” written by Cheng Dachang of the Southern Song Dynasty records that in the 167th year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks twelve times”

“But in the Yuan Dynasty… in just ninety years, the Yellow River burst its banks sixteen times!”

“Why did the Han Dynasty last the longest but had the fewest number of embankment breaches?”

“Because before the Tang and Song Dynasties, agricultural technology was not developed enough and the population was sparse, the desertification process of the land along the Yellow River was slow.”

“With the improvement of agricultural technology and the improvement of land use efficiency, land desertification has become more and more serious, and the number of natural embankment breaches has increased significantly.”

“And in the Yuan Dynasty”

“Those barbarians simply stopped farming, and instead raced and enclosed land on both sides of the Yellow River and built large pastures. The desertification of the land was the most serious.”

“Therefore, in just over ninety years, the Yellow River burst its banks sixteen times, causing the people to suffer miserably!”

“Until the last time the Yellow River burst its banks”

“Millions of acres of land were covered up, tens of millions of people were displaced, and the people couldn’t bear it.”

“So there was that sentence”

“One eye of the stone man stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River world!”

Crack.

When he said this, the chess pieces in Zhu Yuanzhang’s hand fell to the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face was full of despair:”Ma Zheng… can the country be destroyed?!”

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao next to them looked even more shocked, but they were breathing softly and did not dare to say another word.

“Ma Zheng…is he really so wrong?”

He looked at Zhu Heng with disbelief on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang has rarely been so rude since he started his career, but now… it is about the Yellow River!

The Yuan Dynasty died because of the Yellow River, and the Ming Dynasty prospered because of the Yellow River!.
