The Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty paid homage to the filial piety tomb in Yingtian and paid tribute to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

This was followed by a celebration of the 10th year of his accession to the throne and the celebration of his 50th birthday...... In the face of one happy event after another, all the officials raised their hearts, and with Zhu Di's character, eighty percent of them had to use troops abroad, and the scale was extraordinary. Is it a hundred thousand or a million?

It's really not a good thing to have such a happy celestial son.

But just when the big guy was worried, Zhu Di did one more thing, he directly ordered that a large piece of land was drawn at the foot of Qixia Mountain, which was as much as thousands of acres.

Finished!

Your Majesty is going to train the army again, or make some secret weapons, just wait and see.

In the face of countless people's doubts, Zhu Di went his own way, and didn't care about them at all, you do your job, I do my job, our well water doesn't interfere with river water, you have to make trouble for me, be careful to serve the court staff.

Some people may ask, what is Zhu Di planning to do?

Actually, I didn't do anything, I just did some farming...... Dolphin farming!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you don't have to do it yourself, just leave this kind of thing to the following, you are a golden body, if you let the lower ones know, I'm afraid it's not good."

Liu Chun was embarrassed, but Zhu Di went his own way, and didn't take Liu Chun in his eyes at all, but said to the prince Zhu Zhanji: "Be careful, cut all these amaranth, and go back and chop them and feed them to the dolphins." ”

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids, extremely helpless.

He was speechless, and he didn't know what his father thought, and after going south to Yingtian, he was not in a hurry to return, and even started raising pigs, so he was the Ninety-Five Supreme! Do we still lack this bite of meat to eat?

Even if you really lack it, you don't have to do it?

Zhu Gaochi was angry, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's will.

You can only cut the pigweed with your head down, then tie it up with straw rope, load it on the car, and send it back to chop...... Mix with rice bran and act as feed.

Zhu Di patiently watched his son busy, until he pushed the cart away, Zhu Di shook his head and sighed: "No! ”

Liu Chun next to him couldn't stand it, "Your Majesty, it is indeed inappropriate to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do this, why should Your Majesty force it!" ”

Zhu Di snorted, he found a random stone, sat down, and then pointed, letting Liu Chun sit opposite.

"You have nothing to do? To play here? ”

Liu Chun hurriedly shook his head, he knew more than others, Zhu Di was indeed concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood, and it was a very, very important thing - eating meat!

That's right, Zhu Di took the train south, and in the first days, he was completely immersed in the majestic power brought by industry...... But soon Zhu Di discovered another thing, a fatal thing.

The railways were cleared, the exchange of goods was more convenient, and almost all the factories along the line made a common choice: to expand the scale!

Textile mills should weave more silk, steel mills should produce more steel, and machine factories should go all out to produce railway accessories...... With the opening of the railway, Yingtian suddenly added 200,000 workers, and with the addition of family members, the number may exceed 500,000!

In a word, the city swelled again.

"Yoo Chun, have you noticed? The people in the city have not simply increased, they have a stronger pursuit of goods! ”

Liu Chun nodded without hesitation, "Industry is concentrated in the city, citizens and workers can get more income, and they have completely abandoned the land, all living materials have to be purchased, and the consumption power is naturally much stronger." ”

"So the price of Yingtian's meat has tripled! It's too expensive compared to when I moved the capital! Zhu Di said worriedly: "This is not a trivial matter, if we want the city to continue to develop, we must feed these citizens and meet their food, clothing, housing and transportation, otherwise there will be chaos." ”

Listening to Zhu Di's words, Liu Chun suddenly laughed.

"Your Majesty is so worried about the country and the people, it is really a blessing for the people. And His Majesty is wise and knowledgeable. The problems brought about by industrialization have been seen, and the ministers have thrown themselves into the ground...... Can the minister resign and go into hiding? ”

The sycophants in front of him were shot quite well, but the last sentence made Zhu Di angry.

"Don't think!"

His Majesty the Emperor said fiercely: "I have thought of it, but I haven't found a way yet!" ”

The greatest pressure brought by urban development is that of Jingshi and Jiangnan.

And in contrast, the capital is a monopoly, there is no comparable city around, and it is relatively close to the grassland, there is a large supply of cattle and sheep, and there is no big problem for the time being.

But Jiangnan can't, big cities are everywhere, and even counties at the level of Taicang and Jiangyin have more than 100,000 people. The demand for meat is frighteningly large.

Zhu Di was really worried, "Liu Chun, do you have a way?" Can you let these porks eat less, and then the meat grows more, delicious and cheap? ”

Liu Chun scratched his head, "Your Majesty, if you don't make a will, maybe you will act as ordered!" ”

"Do you want to be?" Zhu Di said viciously: "You have to think of a way for me, otherwise I will punish you for staying in Qixia Mountain and raising dolphins well!" ”

Liu Chun really wanted to beat Zhu Di, this girl is really underbeaten, is she talking about human words?

Pig raising is a scientific thing, not to say how big you want to grow, you can grow as big, but also to calculate the input and output, you need to find the most suitable point!

Liu Chun simply took over the matter from Zhu Di's hands.

How can you make a pig fatter?

The most direct way is to feed better, green feed and concentrate feed together, so that the "second senior brother" can have balanced nutrition and grow meat faster.

It's not enough to just cut pigweed. Yoo Chun decided to introduce a very key crop, and that was corn!

In fact, since the circumnavigation of the world, many crops from the Americas have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that at the beginning, these things also need to be adapted, and the planting area is small.

This time, Yoo Chun decided to expand the corn planting area.

Everyone knows that corn is a very good feed and is inexpensive...... In fact, corn stalks can also be used as feed, especially when they are green, the stalks are cut, crushed, and fermented, which is definitely a super delicacy for the second senior brother.

In addition to this, sweet potatoes are also a very good feed option.

It is especially important that both corn and sweet potatoes do not have strict requirements for land and moisture.

Moreover, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has lost a lot of fertility under continuous cultivation, and Liu Chun decided to take the opportunity to implement intercropping. That is, planting different crops on the same land in proportion is of great help to restore the soil.

Liu Chun thinks that it is more practical to come up with an overall development plan related to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.

"Your Highness, I think it's better for you to be in charge of this matter?"

Zhu Gaochi cried, "Master, you can't learn from your father, he pushed the matter on my head, and you also pushed the matter on my head, is this fair?" ”

Liu Chun didn't like to listen to it, he waved his hand and said, "I'm different from your father." Your dad is chasing ducks to the shelves. I obviously don't understand, I have to fool around, Master is very scientific. I ask you, what are the common people called magistrates? ”

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "Aren't you old parents!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Chun said with a smile: "As the name suggests, the parent official is the people's parents, and they are responsible for the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. The monarch is the parent of the people of the world, so isn't it even more reasonable to take care of the people's rice bags and rice tables? ”

What a perfect reason, simply impeccable.

If I am given a chance to choose, this unlucky prince is willing to give it to whomever I want, I don't want it!

The big fat man was aggrieved, but there was no other way.

Since that day, he has been responsible for promoting agriculture and animal husbandry.

Here, I have to sigh that in terms of economic model, the Ming Dynasty is really not leading, or in other words, the thousands of years of great unification of the dynasty have made grain the only hard currency.

In addition to farming and raising silkworms, men and women weaving, the common people are reluctant to try any new business model.

Like what to breed livestock, aquaculture, large-scale winemaking, grow cash crops...... These things, the common people neither want to try, nor dare to try.

And Zhu Gaochi's task is to confront thousands of years of tradition...... According to Liu Chun's overall design, around the city, a circle of vegetable supply bases should be established, and a considerable number of farms should be used outside the vegetable circle, and the feed base supporting the farms should also be required.

Fertilizing fields with the manure of farmed animals...... It is necessary to enrich the life of the urban population and increase the income of the rural people.

Since taking over this glorious task, Zhu Gaochi has rapidly lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, almost a circle smaller every day, haggard and pitiful, angry, and helpless.

"Master, how did you tell the people back then to get them to support the Fa change? Your old man should hurry up and give your disciple some guidance and think of a good way! ”

Liu Chun spread his hands, this method is really hard to think!

In the past, the implementation of equal fields, equal endowment, and education...... These things are all visible to the people, and they are also the most urgent things to solve, and it is very convenient to communicate.

But when it comes to changing the way people do business and engaging in a new agricultural model, they hesitate. No one wants to be the first to eat crabs.

"Master, the disciple is convinced, why are the people so stubborn! It's like a rock! Zhu Gao exhaled angrily: "I can't wait to pry their heads open to see if they contain elm pimples." ”

Liu Chun was also helpless, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "I can't make the people change their minds immediately." But we can set an example. ”

"What's typical?" Zhu Gaochi was puzzled.

Liu Chun smiled: "I just got the news that Zheng Guogong and they have gained a firm foothold in Europe...... Will be sending back some loot soon! ”

Zhu Gaochi was also taken aback, that's right, counting on his fingers, Chang Mao and them have been on the expedition for more than a year...... Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu has successfully developed a steamship, and he can abandon his dependence on the monsoon, otherwise it will be a few years before he knows the news!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaochi smiled, maybe these Xiyi can really change the people of the Ming Dynasty!
