Zhang Siben looked at Zhu Cijiong, who was frowning slightly, and sighed slightly.

When he saw Zhu Cijiong, he didn't want to say much, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart.

Perhaps, this is a royal mystery!

……

Zhu Cijiong took a deep breath, it is precisely because of the promotion of sweet potatoes that the so-called "Qiankang Prosperous Era" has been achieved.

Although the yield of sweet potatoes is high, there are also drawbacks, after eating too much of this thing, more than half of the people will get stomach problems, and he didn't want to use this thing.

However, Zhu Cijiong also understood that within 20 years, he would not be able to solve the current situation of more people and less land in China.

As for the stupid talk about not confiscating the landlord's land, just think about it, and you can't take it seriously.

You must know that at this time, there are no one billion acres of land in the whole country, but there are hundreds of millions of people.

And the average yield per mu in this era is not even one hundred and twenty catties!

After a little calculation, we know that there is only 1,000 catties of grain per capita a year, not to mention the food of livestock......

In such a bad situation, even if the landlord is scraped alive, it is useless!

As the so-called open source and throttling expenditure, this is the only magic weapon to make a fortune, and the same is true for a country.

If we want to solve this dilemma, there is only one way - to depose the legal status of Confucianism and implement the system of awarding military merits.

These two things are difficult to explain clearly without a day and a night, but there is one sentence that can be summarized - return to the old road of pioneering and enterprising in the Han and Tang Dynasties!

……

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while and said to Zhang Siben: "Uncle, have you ever heard of Huang Daopo? ”

Zhang Siben nodded: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang are known as Granny Huang's reputation, she improved the cotton spinning process, but unfortunately the distance is too far, our side only came to peel the seeds, as for the textile machine, but not to come." ”

Huang Daopo improved the cotton spinning process and passed it on selflessly, but this process did not spread throughout the country until the end of the Qing Dynasty......

Zhu Cijiong laughed: "That uncle still needs to send someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, no matter how high the silver is, he must buy one back!" ”

"Your Highness means to have people imitate?" Zhang Siben instantly grasped the point.

Zhu Cijiong nodded.

Don't look at the Zodiac textile technology has been on the market for hundreds of years, but until the Jenny textile machine came out, it was the world's leading.

He knew the principle of Jenny's loom, but ......

What is not obtained through hardship, no one will cherish.

The Zhang family is powerful, and if he does not establish his own power, he will not be able to lose his power in the future.

Zhang Yan treated him so well, he didn't want this woman to be uncomfortable in the future.

Mrs. Wang spoke: "Da Lang, the Huang mother-in-law loom is indeed going to buy a set, I heard that the spinning in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is four threads at a time, and we only have one thread here." ”

"In this world, all men and women weave their lives, even if they spin a piece of thread a day, this single day is three times more!"

For the innovation of technology, Mrs. Wang saw it very clearly: "This is a good thing that benefits thousands of households, and it will be handed over to you, and you can just withdraw the money in the account!" ”

"Yes, mother, the child wrote it down!" Zhang Siben bent down to deal with the matter.

The old lady laughed, and she said to Zhang Yan: "Niangniang, look at Your Highness, this is a clear look, this is our blessing!" ”

Zhang Yan chuckled: "Yes, old lady, I, I am finally worthy of the entrustment of the first emperor!" ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhang Yan, her eyes full of doting.

is such a thin girl, she actually carried Zhu Cijiong on her back for more than 2,000 miles, if it weren't for the caravan of the Zhang family, she happened to meet her who was injured and unconscious in Nanzhao, I'm afraid she would have been gone.

She took a closer look, but saw a piece of blue and black hidden in Zhang Yan's sideburns.

How hanging!

When Zhang's caravan met Zhang Yan, she fainted from hunger and exhaustion, and her sideburns hit a stone, bleeding all over the ground.

If the angle is a little lower, or if the caravan finds her an hour late, Zhang Yan will be gone!

"Child, you won't suffer from it anymore!"

Mrs. Wang reached out and grabbed Zhang Yan's hand and said a word that made her scratch her head.

……

The two women here were whispering, but Zhu Cijiong and the others had already begun to consider the surrounding situation.

Zhang Siyuan opened his mouth and said: "During the Battle of Kuidong, the Qing court once emptied the soldiers and horses of Nanyang Mansion, but now Nanyang Mansion, Dengzhou, Xinye, and Yuzhou (Fangcheng) are all stationed with bannermen, although the number is not large, if you count the green battalion, it should not be underestimated. ”

Nanyang has jurisdiction over two states and ten counties, is one of the three major irrigation plains, plus the belly of Guanzhong, the east of the central plain, the foot of the Jianghan Plain......

The geographical location of this place is very important, it is in the middle of the world, so the Qing court has never relaxed here.

In fact, it was not until after the rebellion of the three feudatories was pacified that the Qing court stationed Qiding at the crossing of the Tianxia Prefecture was gradually concentrated, forming 17 permanent garrisons.

The Green Battalion has always been guarded against by the Qing court, and in the end of the Qing Dynasty, the garrison of the Green Battalion has always been scattered like dots, divided into hundreds or even more than 100 people.

"The whole territory is not advisable, we should focus on one place!" Zhu Cijiong thought about it carefully: "Whose county order is Neixiang now?" ”

Zhang Siyuan raised his eyebrows: "What does His Highness mean - donating an inner township magistrate?" ”

In the Qing Dynasty, it is very common to donate officials, as long as you have money, even if you are a first- or second-class person, you can buy it.

Zhang Siyuan thought for a while: "It can be operated, but I'm afraid I have to contact the Li family." ”

His brother-in-law, Li Tingran, is the county lieutenant of Nanyang Mansion, and if he wants to operate a county official, it is not too difficult.

Besides, once a big family like the Zhang family shows that they are willing to become officials, the Qing court welcomes it with both hands.

The only difficulty is to designate the place, which is very troublesome.

"Your Highness, Fourth Brother, you are thinking wrong." Zhang Sicheng sneered: "There is no need for a county order at all, as long as you take down Neixiang County, or a county lieutenant, that's fine!" ”

The inner countryside is close to the Qinling Mountains, and the vast Qinling Mountains are their treasure caves!

"It's just a county order, so what's the matter if you're imprisoned?" He smiled grimly: "Or let's donate a designated alternate, and then ...... It doesn't matter if you fall to death in wrestling or choke to death while eating, isn't this time for you to take office? ”

"It's just another sum of money!"

Zhang Sicheng is a person who acts in a ruthless style and is also a little insidious, and his words made everyone shudder.

deciding the life and death of several people without complaint really makes Zhu Cijiong a little unaccustomed.
