Concubine Pu is not very old, but her status is very high.

Wang Xiao has always paid attention to this aspect when playing cards with them, how could there be an accident this time?

"Hu Shangyi has already checked."

Sun Ruowei sighed: "It was Concubine An who bribed the person in charge of decoction. ”

Because of the identities of Concubine An and Concubine Pu, Wang Xiao and them will have someone to drink medicine after fighting the landlord to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It's just that I didn't expect them to be so bold.

"If this thing gets out, it will be really shameless. If Confucianism seizes the handle and attacks it wantonly, it may have unpredictable consequences. ”

Wang Xiao, who had recovered from the shock, laughed, "You think too much, what a big thing." It's nothing compared to the dirty man and the stinky Tang. Li Longji is not worth mentioning. As for Confucianism, the only thing they can do is play tricks. As long as the military and financial power are in hand, they can only play lip service. ”

"So what should I do about this?" Sun Ruowei also had a terrible headache, and if the matter got out, the royal face would be really lost. The people's favorite thing to spread is royal gossip.

Wang Xiao said nonchalantly, "Or don't you want it?" ”

Sun Ruowei stood up directly, looking at him with an incredible expression on his face, "This is the royal bloodline!" ”

"Then let them die."

Sun Ruowei's whole person was in a trance, she really didn't expect that the man she loved all her life would be so ruthless!

Wang Xiao got up and took her into his arms, resting his chin on his hair, "What do you think?" What do you think of me? I mean, Concubine An and Concubine Park died of illness. ”

In terms of Sun Ruowei's intelligence, she reacted immediately.

Wang Xiao let these two women who were concubines die of illness, and then use other identities to come back to life. It's like a palace girl sent by North Korea or something.

In this way, if you change your identity, all the troubles will be solved.

Sun Ruo looked at Wang Xiao faintly, "It's all our sisters who are not good and occupy you." As an emperor, you should choose a wide range of beautiful women from all over the world. ”

Wang Xiao raised his hand and pinched Sun Ruowei's cheek, and pressed her forehead affectionately, "Don't say stupid things." In this life and this life, it is my greatest happiness to have you by my side. ”

A woman who is immersed in happiness has an almost negative IQ. Sun Ruowei, who was surrounded by happiness, subconsciously forgot what she should have been very angry about before.

After finishing his official duties, Sun Ruowei went back to take care of Zhu Qizhen, who had been in school all day.

As for Wang Xiao, he began to rummage through things and prepared to find Concubine An and the others to punish them.

"What about candles? This whip is too short, not a little longer? Where did the rope go? ”

The prosperity of Renxuan in the Ming Dynasty continues, and it is getting better and better.

The discovery of a large number of overseas territories has made the supply extremely abundant.

Especially after the Indian strategy was launched, a large amount of grain and cotton was transported back to the mainland, which greatly enriched the needs of the Ming people for basic living materials.

The needs of the people of Daming are nothing more than four words: food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Needless to say, the people of Daming can build it by themselves.

Travel or something, people rarely travel a few times in their lives. Only clothing and food are the real top priorities.

There was never enough food in the Ming Dynasty because there were too many people and there was a lack of enough non-staple food.

It is normal for people in the modern world to be able to eat a bowl of rice for a meal, and it is still a small bowl.

But in the era of lack of fat, meat, and non-staple foods, it is the norm to eat one or two catties of a three-sea bowl at a meal.

There is a lack of oil and water in the stomach, so you can only replenish it with carbohydrates. Otherwise, being tormented by that hunger pang is definitely the most painful thing in the world.

After Zheng He's fleet gained a foothold on the Indian mainland, the first thing it did was not to collect gold, silver and jewelry, but to load the piles full of grain from the warehouses of the local princely states onto large ships and transport them back to China.

In this era, only such a vast area of arable land on the Indian side could provide a huge supply of food.

In addition to grain, India has another enviable crop, which is cotton.

The origin of cotton is in India. Cotton has been cultivated here for thousands of years.

In China, the real promotion of cotton was only forced in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang.

The time is too short, whether it is the planting area, the yield, or even the textile technology, it is far from enough. Moreover, the land of Daming is more used to grow food.

The abundance of the Indian continent solves this thorny problem.

Cotton not only enriched the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, but also promoted the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

Many women from peasant families went into primitive textile workshops and used their own hands to process cotton from India, earning money to support their families.

The benefits that can be seen with your own eyes have made countless people blush.

Especially those gentry who have money and land in their hands, they are scolding niang while wholeheartedly buying ships and going to sea, opening large textile workshops to enjoy the dividends brought by overseas consulates.

As more and more grain and cotton are transported back from India, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this land will become the final solution to the problem of the lack of basic production materials in the Ming Dynasty and the lack of resettlement for the displaced people.

The barren land of China lies in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions.

Originally, it was a rich land with abundant water and grass and lush forests.

After thousands of years of development, a large amount of forest land has been lost due to clearing and burning firewood, resulting in soil erosion and barren land, and the food produced is no longer enough to feed the people there.

The people can't eat, that's a big deal.

All dynasties have been a headache for it.

Now, the opportunity to address this huge hidden danger has arisen.

Yu Qian, who was young but Wang Xiao's confidant, put forward his own proposal at the court meeting, that is, to relocate the people who had no land or little land in Shaanxi and Gansu to immigrate to Kaifeng, India, to set up a government office, and officially became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Xiao readily accepted Yu Qian's suggestion and appointed him as the first Viceroy of India (during the Hongwu period, the high-ranking officials were called Chengxuan political envoys, and the Xuande period set up governors and governors. not to follow the British), for a five-year term.

In Wang Xiao's words, let me see what you can do in the past five years.

It is not easy to attract people to cross the ocean to unknown overseas territories, and without enough benefits, they would rather beg for food and survive.

The advantage of Wang Xiao's immigration is that each family will receive 200 acres of land for free, and will be provided with farm tools interest-free in the form of loans, and tax exemption for five years.

It's not that Wang Xiao doesn't want to give more land, or that there isn't that much arable land in India.

The reason is that there are so many human resources, and there is only one labor force that can work for each family. Even if they were given 2,000 acres of land, they would not be able to cultivate it in the era when there were no tractors.

The weather is beautiful, and it has been smooth for several years.

The hidden danger of internal displacement was solved, and the gentry, who hindered social development, was suppressed.

Externally, more and more overseas consulates have provided a large number of materials and jobs.

During this time, the entire Ming Dynasty was a real prosperous era.

Time is like water, and before I know it, I have come to Xuande for ten years.

Zheng He was still in India, constantly attacking the Delhi Dynasty. After several years of big wars and small wars, the Delhi dynasty was almost on the verge of extinction. Even the city of Derry had been captured by the Ming army.

Almost the entire land of northern India fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

After the fall of the Delhi dynasty, it is time to go south to clean up the princes of the princely states, large and small.

The British are a maritime people, and when they fight India, they can win over and divide those princely states, and give them the status of semi-duli to continue to exert power in their territory.

But Da Ming can't do that.

The Ming Dynasty is an agrarian people, and they want land. Of course, it is impossible to leave these princes of the princely states.

Two years ago, Annam rebelled, and some people in the DPRK and China proposed to simply withdraw from Annam. There's not much good to do but produce some food. It costs more than 2 million taels of garrison expenses every year, which is too wasteful.

Wang Xiao threw the proposed people to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, where they indoctrinated the natives in straw skirts.

He set a rule in the imperial court, and those who dared to abandon the inalienable territory of China since ancient times were all named traitors and punished for treason.

Now it's okay, all the people who were going to write a letter suggesting that they give up their slaves and do the capital division go home and burn the music.

For Annan's rebellion, Wang Xiao's response was to send troops directly.

An army of 200,000 swarmed down, carrying a large number of muskets and supplies, and slaughtered all the way from the north side of Annam to the end of the south side.

Along the way, the rebels in Annam were almost wiped out, and the land was soaked in blood.

And the land they left behind was quickly occupied by those meritorious soldiers.

Since then, this land will never leave the embrace of China.

Wang Xiao's iron blood shocked many disgruntled Fanbang, and Fusang and other countries hurriedly sent envoys to send gifts to the emperor. I'm afraid I'll be the next unlucky ghost.

The kings of the domestic fiefdoms have been relocated to the overseas realms.

The Australian mainland, the Indian mainland, the islands of the South Seas, and even the small islands in the Pacific Ocean have been visited.

If you have a good attitude, go to Australia, go to the Nanyang Islands with a negative attitude, and go to the small islands in the Pacific Ocean to watch the sunrise and sunset if you have a fierce attitude.

Now the exile of the Ming civil officials is no longer going to Qiongzhou, and Qiongzhou has now become a good place.

The place of exile is far away in Australia, and South Australia is still full of crocodiles and poisonous snakes and spiders.

What's even worse is that like the one above, go to the birds and don't, and even the Ming Dynasty rarely knows about the small island in the Pacific to do some kind of education. It's rare to see a ship pass by all year round.

Staying in that kind of place is really going crazy.

Da Ming is like a strong man with a tough body, getting stronger and stronger.

However, there will never be a shortage of careerists in this world, and an undercurrent is churning and surging under the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Xiao was in the Fengtian Temple, seeing off the third group of expeditions to the New World.

The Ming expedition to the New World set out from Luzon and traveled upstreams in the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, establishing contact with the local Inca Empire.

Of course, when we meet for the first time, we don't understand the language, so naturally we won't be very friendly.

It was only when the Inca warriors, who used stone weapons, had friendly exchanges with the Ming army, which used iron weapons and even a large number of musket artillery, that the Incas became unusually hospitable and able to sing and dance.

Compared with the Spaniards, who directly exterminated the Inca Empire, the expedition of the Ming Dynasty was an angel descending to the world.

After that, the expedition took the gifts from the Inca Empire to the Great Emperor and returned along the warm Pacific current.

The successful arrival in the New World made Wang Xiao extremely happy.

Not only was he knighted for the person who led the fleet, but he also fulfilled his promise and rewarded the entire expedition.

This was followed by a second expedition. They are larger and more numerous. Because it is necessary to establish a bridgehead and stronghold in the local area.

At this moment, Wang Xiao saw off the third expedition team that was sending reinforcements, transporting supplies, and collecting corn, sweet potatoes, peppers and other important economically valuable specialties from the local area.

In this warm atmosphere, an emissary brought a message of war.

"The army of Warat is coming!"
