This time back to Jinan, Zhu Guoqiang only stayed for a few days, during which at most he walked around inside and outside the city of Jinan, as the son of the world, although he was more comfortable than the vassal king, but he was still a clan, not to mention, I don't know how many eyes were staring at him for a while.

Before leaving Jinan, Zhu Guoqiang and instructed Shi Lei to pay more attention to the movements in the capital these days, and if there is any abnormal movement, he will report to him as soon as possible, and then return to the royal tomb with a few personal guards, after all, now nominally, he is building the royal tomb - the wall.

Compared with when he came, Zhu Guoqiang had one more person by his side, Shi Mingyuan!

Although Shi Mingyuan is only an eighteen-year-old boy, he is quite tall, but he looks polite, all of which does not quite fit the appearance of the guard, but Zhu Guoqiang does not mind this. ，

He is Shi Lei's son, and the reason why Shi Lei sent him over was to be a hostage, just to show loyalty to himself.

However, Zhu Guoqiang didn't care about this. After all, in the history books, there are too many examples of abandoning protons and ignoring them, son, can you be reborn!

But this is also Shi Lei's way of showing his loyalty, so he can only laugh and accept.

For Shi Weizhong, Zhu Guoqiang has his own plans, for example, he can let him study with those teenagers.

Sometimes, there are other ways to gain someone's loyalty, such as giving his son a better future!

Along the way, Zhu Guoqiang and others rode horses and trotted along the official road. In dozens of miles along the way from Jinan to Wangling, although there are occasional ups and downs of mountains, there are large fields distributed between the hills, and between the fields, there are some large and small rivers and rivers.

As the old man of the palace honor and guard department, Liang Mingli pointed at the horse whip in his hand and told Zhu Guoqiang.

Shiziye, you see that these fields are almost all owned by our Dewang Mansion, and the land of our military households of the Honor and Guard Division is here, and even told him that the military households of the Honor and Guard Division are far better than the guards, because a lot of land in Jinan has been occupied by the hereditary officers of the guards in the past hundred years, and most of the military households have been reduced to tenants and can only rent land to plant.

“…… Our Honor Guard Division, speaking of which, is also the blessing of the previous princes, and the guard is worried that the big guy will sue the King of De, after all, the Honor Guard Division is the person in front of the prince, so everyone's land has been preserved......"

Of course, the prince's signboard is not used in vain, as the guards of the palace, they have to pay a sum of grain to the palace every year, and they can be regarded as half of the tenants of the palace, but compared to the ordinary military households in the palace, they don't know where it is better, after all, those people don't even have their own land!

"The land was taken away by the officers of the guard?"

Zhu Guoqiang's brows jumped, although he had a certain understanding of the life of the military households in the Ming Dynasty, he was inevitably a little surprised when he slammed it. So he asked.

"What about them? I mean the officers! ”

This group of guys can't be let go easily!

"What about people? Almost all dead......"

Pursing his lips, Liang Mingli said sarcastically.

"When Jiannu entered the Kou, although the guards were useless, the officers and soldiers of the hereditary guards were also responsible for guarding the land, and they must not be abandoned lightly where the yamen of the guards was located, but so what? Pingsu used military households as livestock, and Jiannu hit the door, can he still point to them to sell their lives? In less than a day's effort, the left and right guards were destroyed by Dongnu, and naturally people did not survive, but it was a pity for those brothers in the house......"

It's a shame indeed......

Thinking of the remaining city wall near Jinan City, Zhu Guoqiang felt extremely sorry in his heart, of course, it was not just those military households who died in vain.

And those officers.

If they're still alive, they're definitely fat sheep!

No, Shandong is not only Jinan Wei, isn't there a group of fat sheep here!

Thinking of the group of fat sheep, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Grandma, you have been so greedy for so many years...... Pigs fattened up is the New Year!

Sooner or later, I'll have to use a knife on you!

No, sooner or later, one day, Lao Tzu will kill a pig for the New Year!

Zhu Guoqiang got off the horse, led by Song Ye and others, and headed towards the fields by the river. When Zhu Guoqiang walked through some fields, he saw that the ditch next to the field was dry, and the surrounding fields were cracked, and the surface of the field was warped with pieces of frightening crust, although there were still some small snowflakes falling on it in the sky, but they disappeared in a blink of an eye, which was shocking to see.

Looking at the surrounding fields that had become parched and cracked due to the lack of water, Zhu Guoqiang sighed. Even though the Yangtze River is nearby, the surrounding fields are not irrigated, which is simply the biggest joke. However, Zhu Guoqiang also knew that this period was the Xiaoice period in history, and such a bad climate would last for more than ten years before it would be alleviated, and such a climate in history also indirectly or directly accelerated the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Walking to the river again, Zhu Guoqiang found that the water level of the Yangtze River was indeed very low, and a large riverbed had been exposed. Although there are some water diversion tools such as keel waterwheels and chain bucket waterwheels that rely on manpower or animal power on the riverside, these irrigation tools that appeared in the Han and Tang dynasties can only lead the water source to some lower fields on the riverside, and a little farther away from the fields with slightly higher terrain, so they have no choice but to rely on some manpower or animal power to carry out shoulder and hand back, but this is just a drop in the bucket for such a large field, and it does not play a big role at all.

Seeing this, Zhu Guoqiang finally understood. In this period of the Xiaoice River under the great drought and cold, it can be said that there are thousands of miles of red land everywhere, even Nanjing, which is close to the Yangtze River, a place with rich water sources, not to mention other places, the consequence of water shortage is that the people cannot reclaim wasteland, cannot farm, a large number of good land has to be abandoned, the people have no food to naturally make trouble, coupled with the continuous invasion of the Manchus in the north, this led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

“…… However, in the past few years, the year has not been good, and the drought has continued, even if the water by the river has irrigated the land, it has become semi-arid land because of the lack of river water, and everyone's life has become more and more difficult. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Guoqiang's brows furrowed, and then he looked into the ground again.

"And what's going on this year? Let's go down into the field and see. ”
