Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, dozens of large sandalwood boxes were piled up like a mountain.

Inside the box are well-preserved books, exuding the aroma of ink.

"Father."

Zhu Biao flipped through the brand new book and said, "This is a rare ancient book presented by the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River."

"What have you been doing so far?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not even look at the so-called rare ancient books in front of him.

He sneered and said: "You are fooling us with these piles of tattered books! It seems that these gentry have a hard time parting with their wealth. They have no idea what we want."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but let out a long sigh, put down the book in his hand and said: "Father,

They are just trying to create momentum. ’

"You want to create momentum with these old and shabby books?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered a few times, turned around and summoned a eunuch: "School Disciple told Li Jinglong to continue to exert pressure!

Now that our army has been dispatched, we will not stop without receiving enough benefits. "

Zhu Biao said worriedly: "Father, if this happens,

Will it cause riots in the southeast?"

"Rebellion in the Southeast? I'll lend them ten courages!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "When we besieged Zhang Shicheng,

How many of those bandanas rose up to resist?

When they killed Shen Wansan, they didn't even dare to fart!

How many corrupt officials have we peeled off the skin of day lilies?

In the end, these guys who only care about eating but not fighting, are they making a comeback?

Now that we have established the Royal Academy, they are feeling the pressure.

Huh! If Su Ran hadn't helped us build the academy,

Even if we work until death, I'm afraid we won't be able to restore people's livelihood.

These bastards have delayed us for so many years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became a little angry when he mentioned this.

Since a large number of academy officials have been fully staffed as secretaries and supervisors.

Accurate and practical data completely replaces those colorful articles.

Many dirty things hidden under the water gradually surfaced.

Seeing the whole process clearly made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

You are thinking about Zhang Shicheng, and it is natural for you to target us no matter what.

But how can the common people in the world be blamed?

It’s a pity that all you have studied are the books of sages!

If only these officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang could show even one percent of their conscience.

I wouldn’t have delayed the Northern Expedition until now!

I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will be completed in Hongwu's seventh or eighth year.

Many times, these officials simply oppose for the sake of opposition.

The execution of affairs is also done in an obedient manner.

As a result, his originally well-intentioned ideas became harmful to the country and the people when implemented on the people.

"…………Father, please calm down."

Zhu Biao stood up to persuade his father, and then asked: "Father, since this is the case,

Can the 30,000 garrison troops be transferred back?"

"No, since the army has been dispatched, how can it be returned without blood?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "These Jiangnan gentry are no longer scholars.

The greed of businessmen, the cunning of officials, and the sanctimonious hypocrisy of scholars!

As long as we expose a crack here, they will dare to dig in!

Hehe, their only flaw is that they fear power rather than virtue.

Since our virtues cannot influence them, then we should keep suppressing them.

Besides, money is needed for domestic construction everywhere nowadays!

It just so happens that we take this time to wipe out all the bandits and bandits to scare the monkeys.

No matter whose blood it is,

As long as those local tyrants and gentry see blood, they will give in!"

Seeing that his father was murderous again, Zhu Biao stopped trying to persuade him.

In the past few years, Dad and the civil service group have been doing Tai Chi back and forth.

His murderous nature was almost completely wiped out.

With the sudden emergence of Su Ran's Royal Academy, the advantages of civil servants were no longer available, and Lao Zhu's long-simmering anger was once again aroused.

Although this time it was mainly intimidation.

It still makes civil servants all over the world uneasy.

To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu firstly wanted to protect Su Ran, and secondly, he wanted to buy time for the Royal Academy and give those students time to grow.

Seeing that his eldest son did not persuade him anymore.

Lao Zhu had no choice but to sigh and step out of Chengtian Hall.

"Time flies, and time waits for no one. How many years have been wasted..."

With a long sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves and returned to his palace.

Zhu Biao was left alone in the hall to figure things out.

If you think Zhu Biao is kind and kind, you are totally wrong.

That's why Zhu Biaolulv tried his best to dissuade his father when he raised the butcher knife.

The purpose is to establish a good relationship with these civil servants.

In order to facilitate the future control of the court and achieve one's great achievements.

But judging from the behavior of the civil servants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these ungrateful people don't care about eating but fighting. Even if I have a good relationship with them.

I'm afraid there will be a risk of being ignored in the future.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to fully support what dad did.

Completely overthrow the officials of the gentry faction in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In this way, I will take over the academy in the future.

If you formulate a few big plans, you can still accomplish great things.

Su Ran came up with it, whether it was the cabinet chief assistant system or the Royal Academy.

They are most in line with the psychology of the two men.

And in the sand table model he specially created, Harvest Chart of Rivers & Mountains.

The two men always have a psychological illusion.

The huge country is right under his nose.

As long as you take two random steps, you can reach Longzhong Road from Jinling City in one step.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and his father were sad and the years passed by.

In Jinling Academy, Su Ran entertained Ping Jiang Bo Chen Xuan for a drink.

The main purpose of Chen Xuan's coming here is to replace the navy's firearms.

The secondary purpose is to arrange for his son to enter the academy.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xuan revealed his noble nature of taking advantage of the situation.

What he said was different, and he wanted Su Ran to accept his son as his disciple.

I understand this very well.

Chen Xuan is capable in fighting, but his foundation among the nobles is not strong.

At first he hung out with Lan Yu, and later defected to Xu Da's command.

Such a slave with three surnames would naturally be despised by the nobles in Jinling.

But Lao Zhu could use him with confidence, so he always wanted Chen Xuan to be in charge of the navy and shipping.

But understanding is understanding, but Liran can't agree.

"...Old Chen, listen to my advice."

Su Ran put down his wine glass and said seriously: "Your son wants to become my disciple.

Don't ever think about getting ahead in official circles in this life. "

Chen Xuan couldn't help but tensed up and asked repeatedly: "What do you mean by this?"

"Students who come out of the academy "have no foundation."

Su Ran patiently explained: "In other words, there is only one foot, and that is Your Majesty!

Your Majesty set up a disciple of the emperor, you still don't know what it means?

In other words, His Majesty does not allow any nobles to interfere with student arrangements.

Even the academy's judges are Jin Yiwei's servants. "

Chen Xuan was shocked and quickly gave Su Ran a glass of wine to apologize.

After the two drank for three more rounds, Su Ran said: "Old Chen, the firearms inspector I sent over this time must be protected by School Disciple."

"Don't worry!" Chen Xuan patted his chest and said, "Let him join my ranks.

Let my soldiers protect you!

Besides, didn't you ask me to collect some shipbuilding talents?

I've collected them all for you,

Can the Ming Navy become famous all over the world in the future?

But it depends on you, Brother Huaian. "

The two walked around for three more times before Su Ran put down the wine glass.

Then he whispered: "Old Chen, this patrol has a lot of great merits for you."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "What great contribution?"

"Do you know the Fo Langji people?" Su Ran asked.

"I know."

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "They are those red-haired Yi pirates.

What happened to them?"

"Don't underestimate these red-haired barbarians, they also have treasures!"

Su Ran lowered his voice and said: "I heard the teacher say before,

In these countries of the Red Mao Yi people, a food crop called sweet potato is grown. "

“What’s so strange about this food crop?”

Chen Xuan became more interested and couldn't help but ask.

"This crop has a huge yield."

Su Ran said: "Do you know how much sweet potatoes can be produced from one acre of land?"

"How many?"

Su Ran raised three fingers and said word by word: "About twenty to thirty stones!"

There was a bang.

The wine bottle in Chen Xuan's hand fell to the ground, his eyes dull.

He clapped his fingers in disbelief.

One stone of grain is about one hundred and fifty kilograms, and twenty stone of grain is more than three thousand kilograms!

I’m a bitch, are you going to Heaven Defying?

Although Chen Xuan is a military commander.

Civil servants who don’t quite understand these nonsense.

But he also knows very well what the consequences will be once such crops are popularized!

The changes to the Ming Dynasty are simply earth-shaking!

"Brother Su, Brother Huai'an."

Chen Xuan asked excitedly: "Is there really such a Heaven Defying crop?"

"Anyway, as long as you encounter a place where those red-haired pirates gather,

Just ask more and you will find out. "

Su Ran said: "I will draw a pattern for you later.

As far as I know, those red-haired pirates are occupying territory everywhere,

But their food is not enough,

Therefore, this crop is widely planted on the islands to make up for the shortage of grain.

"I see."

Chen Xuan gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious face: "Brother Su, don't worry.

We, Old Chen, have to get this crop back even if our heads are bowed to the ground!"

The two of them clinked another glass and drank it down in one gulp.

After explaining to Chen Xuan.

Li Yunsheng, who has been communicating in the academy, can no longer stay.

Not only because the Jin Yiwei stationed in the academy have been staring at him.

More importantly, after Su Ran exposed his sinister intentions, the students in the academy looked at them like chicken thieves.

........

Then Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order, and Jiangnan implemented the land policy.

A household cannot own more than 500 acres of land.

Once this number is exceeded, the families will either be divided or the excess land will be distributed to the poor.

This is a variant of the push order.

The purpose is to break up those huge families.

As soon as this move came out, the gentry in Jiangnan were in an uproar!

But after a while of commotion, no one dared to resist.

After all, the land problem in Jiangnan is not big.

Moreover, most of the wealthy and gentry families are mainly engaged in business, and they are not short of the three melons and two dates in the fields.

I accept this distribution method honestly.

But the poor people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very happy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a whipping method.

The laborers were assigned to the acres, and the servants were assigned to the acres, liberating the people from the heavy corvee.

Now Lao Zhu has changed his thinking and method under Su Ran's advice.

The more generous you should be to the people at the bottom, the better.

But we must treat officials, gentry, and great businessmen as harshly as possible!

The people must always feel it.

He, the emperor, always stood on the same front as them.

So let

The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the plutocratic gentry have made a complete separation.

I have to say that Su Ran’s proposal of the Dali Chang system is really great.

What the local tycoons in Jiangsu and Zhejiang did next made Lao Zhu dumbfounded.

Lao Zhu never expected that these wealthy gentry and plutocrats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Once you flatter him, it simply goes beyond his bottom line.

For example, Lao Zhu mentioned his opposition to foot binding when he founded the People's Republic of China.

Originally, the people down there ignored it.

But now book clubs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang suddenly launched an anti-foot-binding movement.

Scholars from various regions cited scriptures and publicized them.

It is said that the foot-binding trend was initiated by Li Yu, the later leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty was a famous faint king.

Foot binding started the trend of arrogance, extravagance and lewdness, and it was at this time that the emperors of the Southern Tang Dynasty began to fall.

Footbinding is a symbol of ruined country and ruined family, so it should be banned.

These scholars are bluffing, frightening, and deceiving.

It is even mixed with feudal superstition and official coercion.

The foot-binding trend that was originally unstoppable in various places was immediately dissipated.

Subsequently, a wealthy gentry living along the coast tipped off the local navy.

It is said that they discovered the pirate's lair and hoarded a huge amount of gold and silver.

As a result, the Zhejiang Navy launched an attack and found the pirates' lair according to the sea map.

Not many pirates were killed, but the pirate lair was breached.

But he obtained millions of gold, silver and jewelry.

This gold and silver was turned over to the national treasury, adding a layer of fat to Lao Zhu's empty treasury.

Just when Jiangnan was in full swing.

Su Ran and Zhu Biao were reading the imperial newspaper on the train.

The scenery outside the train flies by.

"Boss Zhu, are these gentry and plutocrats crazy?"

Su Ran flipped through the imperial newspaper with shock on her face: "At least I got it from reading the books of sages.

Are you trying to flatter His Majesty without any shame at all?"

Zhu Biao shook the glass cup in his hand: "Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Song Dynasty, Liao Jin, Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

They did too many shameless things,

It doesn’t matter if you have one more or less,

Anyway, their hearts are already darkened,

Now my father just wants them to behave in a consistent manner. "

Su Ran couldn't help but see Li Yunsheng's sinister handsome face.

I always feel that this matter will not be so simple.

The Jiangnan plutocratic gentry have been immersed in officialdom for a long time and are used to using others as weapons.

"But I always feel that this matter cannot be settled so easily."

Su Ran couldn't help but said.

"Of course it won't be so easy!"

Zhu Biao put down the glass cup in his hand, laughed and said: "Otherwise,

Why did the emperor send us brothers there together?

Isn’t it just rebuilding Chang’an City, and we need to solve it?”

Su Ran understood immediately and put away the newspaper.

"Your Majesty is preparing for us to get rid of the refugees hiding in the Qinling Mountains.

"That's right!" Zhu Biao said solemnly: "The wealthy gentry in Guanzhong,

There is collusion with the Jiangnan Chaebol, and it is quite big!

The important thing is that the wealthy nobles in Guanzhong are not the same as the gentry in Jiangnan.

Even though the Jiangnan gentry shouted louder than anyone else, they really put the handle of a knife on their necks.

They get scared faster than anyone else!

But Guanzhonghao valve is different.

He also experienced the turbulent times of the four dynasties and survived under the iron heel of the barbarians.

These wealthy people have stronger heads than anyone else!

The refugees and bandits in Qinling Mountains and Shaanxi and Gansu are even more like each other.

If you are not careful, you will be in a pattern of refugee riots. "

Having said this, a heavy look of worry appeared on his face.

Su Ran kept scratching her scalp as she listened. .
