Xu Zengshou clutched the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly had an illusion, this is the Hongmen banquet! Where did he go to find Xiang Bo, who was saving his life? At this moment, Zhu Gaosui came over with a smile and said very seriously: "Uncle, you can't be presumptuous!" Didn't you take the lead in pioneering the grasslands in the first place? This time it may be a little farther, but I'm sure you'll make it! It will definitely be able to establish merit that surpasses the King of Zhongshan! My nephew is very optimistic about you! ”

Zhu Gaosui said this, and looked at his fifth uncle, Zhu Lu hurriedly put down the wine glass, and said happily: "That's right, if you need anything, I will help you and keep it to let you go safely and smoothly!" ”

Xu Zengshou rolled his eyes and wailed!

Just die!

What kind of stuff are I around?

Isn't there a conscience?

Xu Zengshou stared at his brother-in-law Zhu Di stupidly, as if he was looking at Meng Jiangnu on the Great Wall...... Now only your brother-in-law can save yourself, as long as you veto the proposal, it won't work if anyone says it.

Brother-in-law, as long as you give me a way to live, it's my father, dear!

Under Xu Zengshou's expectant gaze, Zhu Di slowly spoke.

"Taishi, is the issue of food really so important?"

Liu Chun nodded, "Your Majesty, the situation may be more troublesome than the numbers show...... Although people's livelihood has improved a lot over the years, once the population swells, it will eat up the growth, or even return to the original level, which may be worse! ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Di inhaled hard and rubbed his swollen temples.

"Liu Chun, since this is the case, what is the best way for the past dynasties?"

"Nope!"

Liu Chun replied very simply, no is no.

After a war, the population will swell for a short time, and then enter a relatively stable phase.

During this period, land annexation intensified, a large number of peasants went bankrupt, and many able-bodied laborers either went to the cities or were sold into slavery...... From "man" to slave.

The so-called poor for only three generations is because the poor can't even take care of themselves, and they still want to get married and have children? Dream on!

In all dynasties, after the population reached its peak, it entered a relatively stable stage...... This is relatively stable, but behind it is a very bleak reality, many people have lost the qualification to live and reproduce, and are destined to be lonely for the rest of their lives...... So it's not so difficult to understand that you can cut yourself a knife in exchange for a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing.

"Da Ming shouldn't take this old road, and he can't take this old road!" Zhu Di said slowly but firmly: "Through changing the law, we not only changed ourselves, but also opened the door of the world!" We have endless space and opportunities to change everything! ”

Zhu Di suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Zengshou.

was targeted by his brother-in-law's blood-red gaze, and Xu Zengshou knelt directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to sea, and he is willing to build an overseas granary for Daming!" When Xu Zengshou said this, his heart was dripping blood, throughout the ages, which uncle did not eat fragrant and spicy food. is as miserable as him, I'm afraid it's unprecedented! Why am I so unlucky?

Big sister, little sister, can't you pity me?

Xu Zengshou cried and shouted in his heart, but it was useless, Zhu Di thought for a while, "Dingguo Gong, you can understand the righteousness, this is very good." I will definitely pick a good place to serve as a fief for you when I turn around......" Zhu Di finished speaking, and waved his hand to let them retreat.

I didn't have the heart to drink the wine, Zhu Di left Liu Chun, and the two monarchs and ministers needed to discuss it carefully.

As for Xu Zengshou, he followed Zhu Hu and Zhu Gaosui out, his face was full of resentment, staring at these two goods, so angry that he wanted to tear them up!

"You bastards, you're going to be thundered!"

Zhu Hu didn't bother to take care of him, and said angrily: "I'd better go to the hospital to take a look, save a few more people, when God splits me, maybe he will show mercy!" ”

When he left, Zhu Gaosui also sneered: "I said uncle, your brain is really bad." If you don't take advantage of the time to go to sea to build a domain and occupy the land, when are you waiting? Tell you, my master is thinking about running out every day, why are you so brainless? ”

Xu Zengshou snorted coldly: "What you said is light, ancestral tombs, relatives and friends, landscapes and pastorals...... I've lived in Daming for most of my life, and now let me out, it's better to kill me! He rolled his eyes, suddenly came to Zhu Gaosui's ear, and said almost flatteringly: "My good nephew, you hurry up and tell the queen mother, let her help the stupid brother blow the pillow wind, and now she can save me." ”

Zhu Gaosui pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

"I can't help for nothing!"

Xu Zengshou smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" I still have a horse farm in my hand, and I have three or five good white horses, all of which have been given to you, how about it? ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded happily, "I want to see the title deed tomorrow afternoon!" ”

"Done!"

Xu Zengshou readily agreed, but he turned his head and took a sip!

This damn thing, learned from his master, saw the money open-eyed, insatiable, his heart was taken out, crushed, and it could be made into ink.

But as long as you can avoid this catastrophe, it's easy to say, whoever does things doesn't have to pay a little price!

Xu Zengshou thought so, and after returning home, he hurriedly handed it over, and before noon, he transferred the title deed and those horses to Zhu Gaosui.

His Royal Highness King Zhao was also very powerful, and immediately entered the palace to see Queen Xu.

In the evening, Empress Xu's handwritten letter was placed in front of her brother.

Xu Zengshou was full of smiles and was very proud.

In the end, she is a sister, she just knows that it hurts people, and she is much better than outsiders.

He happily unfolded it, and it was written on it, "I heard that the fourth brother understands the righteousness, understands the difficulties of the country, and is willing to come forward." My sister was pleased. The fourth brother's heart of serving the country is seen by the world, and my Xu family is deeply favored by the emperor, and it should be more sensible than others. The fourth brother can do this, and my sister is very pleased......"

Xu Zengshou was completely confused, what was going on?

Didn't I say that?

Eldest sister, this is a misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding!

Xu Zengshou suddenly realized that he was pitted, and he was also pitted by his nephew Zhu Gaosui!

"Bunny, I'm going to tear you apart!"

Xu Zengshou was aggressive and rushed out directly. His eyes are red, don't let him catch Zhu Gaosui, otherwise he will definitely kill him!

The imposing Dingguo Gong rushed all the way to King Zhao's mansion.

The expected closed-door soup was not eaten, but it went all the way smoothly and rushed directly to the palace study.

"Grandpa Guo, you have a cup of tea first, and the prince will come over in a while."

"Let him roll over to me! If you dare to hesitate, I will burn his palace! Tear down his home! Dare to deceive the elders, who gave him the guts? ”

Xu Zengshou scolded, and the people below crawled and went to find Zhu Gaosui.

There was only one person left in the study, Xu Zengshou looked around, and suddenly found that there was a newspaper on the desktop. He picked it up casually, only glanced at it, and his expression was solemn.

Who will feed the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Banner header with black and large font.

At the current growth rate, in less than ten years, the cultivated land of the Ming Dynasty will not be enough...... What can be done at the moment is to open source and increase production.

Open source is to expand outward, find more fertile land, plant more food, and supply the appetite of the people of Daming.

As for increasing yield, it is even simpler, all localities should build water conservancy facilities, continue to invest, and achieve an increase in yield per mu.

Xu Zengshou looked at it all the way, and in the end, he even proposed that it was urgent to build a large number of agricultural colleges and cultivate agricultural talents.

We can no longer look down on the peasants and despise the rural areas, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Zengshou frowned, is the matter really so serious?

If so, Yoo Chun is not alarmist.

It's just that it's too cruel to let yourself go overseas to farm, obviously I'm leading the troops to fight, I'm a noble! Xu Zengshou felt that with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he was not a stupid commander, the possibility of defeat was not high.

Instead of farming, it's better to fight!

Right!

I'll lead the troops, too!

Just as he was thinking about it, a brand new newspaper slipped into his hand again.

"Uncle, look at this."

Xu Zengshou ignored his anger, took the newspaper from Zhu Gaosui's hand, and read it carefully.

The content of the newspaper is not complicated, but it is full of praise for Xu Zengshou, the prince of Dingguo, who is not afraid of difficulties, destined to ask Ying, go overseas to farm, and is about to set off the third round of overseas development waves, becoming an example of martial artists in the world......

Xu Zengshou looked at it, couldn't help but grab his beard, and showed a reserved smile.

"It's over, it's too much! How could I afford such a compliment! Xu Zengshou narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but fantasize, "At this moment, I'm afraid that the entire capital, and even the people of Daming, know about it, right?" ”

"Not yet!"

Zhu Gaosui was ruthless and broke Xu Zengshou's illusions.

"This newspaper hasn't been sent out yet! If the uncle agrees, the nephew will definitely ask someone to polish it, write more brilliantly, and show the uncle's demeanor to the world! ”

"If you don't say yes, then you don't! Right? Xu Zengshou finally came to his senses, he was so angry that he threw the newspaper on the table, stood up angrily, and roared: "You, and your master, your father!" They all want to force me out, you are scheming! You are uneasy and kind! ”

Zhu Gaosui said helplessly: "Uncle, if you are really uneasy and kind, Master will not once again summon all the officials above the county order to enter Beijing...... Last time it was for education, and this time it was for food...... Father and Master are playing for real! ”
