Chapter Ninety-Six: A Lifeline on the Map

Hearing his mother say this, Yun Zhao finally had the bottom in his heart and no longer had to speculate.

Yunfu can regard the arsenal as a big thing, and stick to it like a fate, which is different for his grandfather.

The arsenal is also very important to him, but no matter how important the arsenal is, it is not as important as his own family and children, and it is necessary to leave a way to go.

This kind of convenience Yun Zhao enjoys without any psychological burden, after all, it is left by his ancestors.

In the chaos, summer came unconsciously, the grain grew very gratifyingly, whether it was wheat, millet, millet, beans, or Yun's new crops grew very well, the only regret was that there was no cicada, locusts did not appear in a large area, even the sparrows were plagued, and were caught by people with fine nets and nets, all into the stomach.

Yun Zhao felt very proud!

Since Lantian County began to use cash-for-work for work, there has never been a single person who has died of starvation.

For this reason, he wrote to Hong Chengchou and greatly boasted about his achievements.

Hong Chengchou also replied, and in the letter, Yun Zhao saw Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong for the first time, the names of the two characters that made him extremely jealous.

Hong Chengchou, who fought against the thieves in Shanxi, did not take advantage this time, mainly because these thieves would actually run!

One will be in Shanxi, the other will be in Shaanxi, and it is not good to catch and cut off the head, which makes Hong Chengchou very troubled.

At the same time, he urged Yun Zhao to send people to the southeast to buy grain as soon as possible, and the grain he harvested in Shangnan was not much, because it was not only his army to eat, but also to help the brother army from time to time, and the food was consumed quickly, which greatly shortened the battle time that Hong Chengchou expected.

Yun Zhao didn't plan to go to the southeast to buy grain at all, these days, the grain is as expensive as his fate, there is no surplus grain anywhere, and even if there is, it will be taken away by the salt merchants through various means to exchange for salt and cause a lot of money.

This year's grain in Lantian County is not sold out, and it must be stored as reserve grain, even if it is a bumper harvest.

Since Yun Zhao can't buy grain, and he doesn't want to sell his grain to Hong Chengchou, then Yun Zhao has only one choice left - robbery!

"In the past, Guanzhong was the most important place in the world, and there was a Grand Canal leading directly to Chang'an, and the ships entering Chang'an every day could be lined up for more than ten miles, and the good position occupied by the Yun clan could easily rob the ships on the Grand Canal.

However, the luck was not good, always from Mengyuan to avoid Guanzhong, and rebuilt the canal from Hangzhou to the capital of Yuan along Mount Tai, there were not many ships on the canal in Guanzhong, many sections of the canal have been abandoned, and there are only a few small fishing boats left on the remaining river. ”

"After the people of the Western Regions and the Tubo people are no longer the great enemy of the Central Plains, Chang'an has declined, Luoyang has declined, and Guanzhong is no longer so important.

"Since the Tang Dynasty Jiedu made An Lushan start with the help of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, which are close to Yanshan, the kings of all dynasties have placed the defense center in Yanshan, so the general trend of the world has changed.

Only the southeast will always be a place of wealth, and a steady stream of money and grain will support the rule of successive dynasties. ”

Yun Zhao took a sip of water and was about to continue to explain the general situation of the world to this group of fools, but Yun Yang listened impatiently, sat up straight and said dissatisfiedly: "Let's just go to rob it, what are you doing with such a lot of incomprehensible words?" ”

Yun Zhao was furious, glanced at Yun Yang fiercely, and said, "Those who don't plan for a lifetime are not enough to plan for a while, and they don't plan for a while...... Forget it, I just want to tell you how to rob to turn a bad thing into a good thing! ”

Yun Yang grinned and said, "We are robbers, can we do good things?" ”

Yun Zhao looked helplessly at the unruly Yun Yang, and then looked at the restful robber successors who were sleepy, and asked Qian Shaoshao to open the curtain on the wall.

Behind the curtain, there is a map of the Ming Dynasty, which is from the hand of Zhang Xianliang, a professor at Yushan Academy.

This map was unlike anything Yun Zhao had ever seen, with many lines connected by thin silk threads and embroidery needles.

Among them, the threads pulled out from two places are the most, one is Jingshi, and the other is Hangzhou!

In order to understand this map, Yun Zhao spent four whole days and made a lot of notes, and even so, what he knew so far was still scratching the surface.

In the past, although he also had a little understanding of the circulation and communication between regions...... In front of this map of the regional relationship of the world made by Zhang Xianliang after ten years of hard work, it is not worth mentioning at all.

The Ming Dynasty has come to the present, basically belonging to the bad situation of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, and the length of each silk line is actually the distance from the east wall to the west wall.

Yun Zhao stood in front of the map, and suddenly lost the idea of explaining the connection to this group of fools.

Looking at the countless threads that appeared from the southeast, his heart was very uncomfortable, as the magistrate, he knew that the southeast generation of people had borne the heaviest taxes in the country since the Ming Dynasty.

A good land of fish and rice, the price of the fertile land that was made by high taxes is only two taels of silver, and the people who do not pay taxes are wantonly tuntian, but the people are hungry, and if this continues, God knows how long the southeast can supply the capital division!

And the reason for this incident is simply because they supported Zhang Shicheng in the first place! was at ease when he was exploited by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Yun Zhao's view, just to vent the anger in his heart, he hit everyone on a large scale, which is Zhu Yuanzhang's immature side as a politician.

Seeing that Yun Zhao was stunned in front of the map, Yun Juan, Yun Shu, and Yun Shu sneaked away, only Yun Yang sat down and waited for Yun Zhao to wake up from his daze.

When Qian Shaoshao came in, Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Cover the map, you must not show it to outsiders in the future." ”

Qian Shaoshao closed the curtain and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is going to make a bigger one and keep it for teaching students." ”

Yun Zhao pouted and said, "Wait until that group of students turns twenty years old before you look at it, you can't read it now, tell Master Zhang that this thing can't be leaked." ”

With less money, I went out to make arrangements.

Yun Yang stepped forward, opened the curtain again, and said, "Tell me, you value it so much, it must be a good thing." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "You don't understand. ”

Yun Yang shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can understand it." ”

Yun Zhao saw that Yun Yang was starting to get serious, so he pointed to the line on the map and said: "You can see clearly, every line here represents financial expenditure, for example, this line from Zhuji to Datong Mansion cannot be touched, once touched, the soldiers of Datong Mansion will be hungry, and the cavalry of the Tartars will be able to enter the interior to plunder." ”

Yun Yang said disapprerovingly: "Even if we don't touch it, the border army will be hungry!" ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "However, no one will die. ”

Yun Yang looked at the map carefully and said with annoyance: "The silk threads on this are dense, if this can't be touched, that can't be touched, we will be a bird robber!" ”

Yun Zhao smiled, pointed to the silk thread on the wall and said: "What I said is that these red silk threads can't be touched, the blue silk threads should not be touched as much as possible, and the pink silk threads will be a vote as long as they are encountered, as for the black silk threads, we must dig out our hearts and minds to do it." ”

"What kind of Mingyue Tower is it?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "That doesn't count. ”

Yun Yang frowned and said, "How do I know which line we encountered when we were trading?" ”

Yun Zhao pointed to his head and said, "I'll tell you." ”

Yun Yang nodded and said, "That's very good, I'm going to practice riding a sword, are you going to go?" ”

Yun Zhao patted his fat belly and said, "I may not have a chance to be a qualified horse thief." ”

Yun Yang hugged Yun Zhao's neck and said, "It must be possible, our brothers robbed the world together, how can we be without you." ”

After that, he dragged Yun Zhao away.

Qian Shaoshao jumped in through the window, found a small bench, sat in front of the map, and looked carefully with his chin in his hand.

Although Master Zhang didn't listen to this picture when he explained this picture to the young master, the young master had already made it very clear just now.

In the future, this picture is the area where the big guy eats, and these silk threads are the rice bowl where the big guy eats.

It must be remembered that it is indispensable!
