May mang, the summer grain harvest season, which means that the difficult spring has finally passed, whether for the Jurchens or the Daming, the climate of the Xiaoice period is not too friendly.

However, compared with the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty had a lot of land and resources, and there were still fish and rice towns in the south of the Yangtze River and lakes that could be moved around.

Zhu Youzhen learned from Han Guang's recital that the Shaanxi disaster victims had survived this difficult spring by relying on the grain purchased from Huguang, and with the development of the work of supervising and inspecting disaster relief and punishing corrupt officials, the lost popular support of the imperial court gradually returned.

Moreover, according to Zhu Youzhen's instructions, Han Guang really killed many corrupt officials and local tyrants and shoddy gentry in Shaanxi, of course, all of them are conclusive evidence.

This move really frightened the gentry in Shaanxi, and under Han Guang's strong push, the gentry all agreed to the proposal to reduce rent.

Of course, in response to Han Guang's radical move in Shaanxi, the General Political Division's impeachment of Han Guang was piled up to more than one person's height.

But then as soon as Han Guang's three-year tax exemption edict came out, the gentry were all speechless, and if they didn't have to pay taxes, it would not be so difficult to accept giving some profits to the mud legs.

After all, if the mud-legged people are really forced to be anxious, it will be difficult for the gentry to protect themselves, and the tragedy of the wealthy family in Baishui County who was killed by the mud-legged people is still vivid.

The peasants who participated in the civil uprising, after Han Guang's generous offer of appeasement, also returned to the township one after another, and a civil uprising that was still in the bud was resolved by Zhu Youzhen without a single soldier.

'Three-year exemption, rent reduction and interest reduction, I hope that the peasant uprising that originated in Shaanxi in history will not happen. ’

Zhu Youzhen looked at the music sent by Han Guang from Shaanxi and muttered.

Although the breeding of potatoes and sweet potatoes is going very smoothly, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near water, and there are not many potatoes and sweet potatoes on the boat, and it will be at least five years before the large-scale promotion is carried out. ’

Zhu Youjian pondered, put down Han Guang's cantata, and picked up another one, and this cantata opened a window for Zhu Youjian to solve the problem of eating for the northern people during the Xiaoice River period.

"Your Majesty, Governor Xiong Wencan, Fujian Governor: Zheng Zhilong, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian, gathered tens of thousands of coastal people and more than 1,000 warships.

"Scabies on the side, frightened Sheng'an, since the minister took office, vowed to clear up this disaster for His Majesty, repeatedly to the Zheng family Zhang court righteousness, His Majesty benevolence, now I hear that the Zheng family has remorse, want to ask the court to surrender."

"The matter is big, Wen Can doesn't dare to be good at it, and he will play tomorrow to be decided."

Zhu Youzhen read Xiong Wencan's recital many times, and saw that there was no cabinet vote on it, but the upper left corner was painted red.

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was the meaning of the cabinet not daring to be arbitrary, and leaving it to his own decision.

It is difficult for the cabinet to make a choice about this, Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate much, since he can't beat it, then he can only appease him, as for the conditions offered by Zheng Zhilong, Zhu Youzhen in his previous life also knew a little about it.

Zheng Zhilong seems to have been named a guerrilla general of the Five Tigers, leading the Zhongzuo Institute of Quanzhou, sitting on the Fujian Sea, and still monopolizing trade with Japan.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen felt that it seemed that there was no harm to the Ming Dynasty in appeasing Zheng Zhilong, anyway, the imperial court could not interfere in the sea trade now, so it was better to generously bring it to Zheng Zhilong to talk about the conditions.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen picked up the brush and approved a few red characters on the chapter: Approve the surrender and act cheaply.

Zhu Pi used the seal, sent it back to the cabinet through the General Political Affairs Department, and then sent it back to Fuzhou, Fujian Province in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

Fujian Governor Yamen, Xiong Wencan received the imperial court's decree ten days later.

Looking at the eight big characters of Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Criticism, he was overjoyed, and after a year of contact, he finally had eyebrows.

After Xiong Wencan immediately consulted with his staff, he invited Wang Zhongxiao, Zheng Zhilong's negotiator in Fuzhou, informed him of the imperial court's will, and attached a condition of appeasement, asking him to send it back to the senior officials.

Knowing that the Ming Emperor approved the appeasement, Wang Zhongxiao was also very happy, more than a year of contact finally had a result, although Xiong Wencan's conditions were very harsh, but the price was all over the place to sit on the ground and pay back, since the Ming Emperor approved the appeasement, then he was not afraid of not being able to sell at a good price.

Don't dare to slack off, on the same day, Wang Zhongxiao sent the news back to the big staff.

Five days later, after Zheng Zhilong received the news that Emperor Ming approved the appeasement, he summoned Zheng Zhifeng, Zheng Zhihu and others to discuss.

"Brother, Emperor Ming is still good, I understand our brother's heart to serve the country, but this old Xiong is not a thing, he even wants our brothers to be separated, you look at this appeasement condition, there is no sincerity at all."

Zheng Zhihu had a little temper, and when he saw Xiong Wencan's appeasement conditions, he suddenly became angry.

"Second brother, don't worry, Xiong Wencan is also asking for a price to pay back on the spot, let's set our own conditions, don't pay attention to him."

Compared with the second brother Zheng Zhihu, the fourth brother Zheng Zhifeng is much calmer.

"What the fourth brother said is that this is just a common trick, let's just set our own conditions, especially the strategy of splitting up the brothers under us must not be agreed."

Zheng Zhilong analyzed Xiong Wencan's appeasement conditions one by one,

"Our brothers can be appeased by the imperial court today, all with these tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of warships, once they are broken up by the imperial court, then whether our brothers are dead or alive can only depend on the imperial court."

In the refutation of Xiong Wencan by the three brothers, Zheng Zhilong slowly made their own conditions.

Between Fujian and the big people, in the bargaining between you and me, two months have passed.

During this period, Zhu Youzhen was busy and went to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Fucheng was founded in the second year of Yongle, at the beginning of the guard, and then with Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, Tianjin's position became more and more important, after more than 200 years of development has become an important town in the north.

However, due to the poor maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty after Yongle, Tianjin was only developed as an important node city of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and his maritime status was not reflected.

The purpose of Zhu Youzhen's visit to Tianjin this time is to further develop Tianjin's shipping potential and prepare for the next step of opening the port.

Tianjin is the only city in the north that has both maritime transport and canals, and after the seaborne materials are landed, they can be transported to Gyeonggi Shanxi in the west, and can be transported along the canal to Shandong and Henan in the south, and the trade status is extremely important.

According to Zhu Youzhen's understanding of history, in the following 20 or 30 years, natural disasters continued in the north, and if he had not continuously transported grain from the south and even the South Seas to the north, Zhu Youzhen could not guarantee that there would be no more civil uprisings.

Zhu Youzhen was anxious to appease Zheng Zhilong, and one of his purposes was to expand the channels for grain imports.

Although this may cost a lot of silver, Zhu Youzhen has absolute confidence in the silk porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, Rao is as weak as the late Qing Dynasty in history, and there is no problem in maintaining a trade surplus.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian's Xishan Light Industry Factory has already started construction, and if sugar, glass, and cotton wool textiles are successfully developed, and high-value-added industrial products are exchanged for low-value-added agricultural products, this transaction will not be lost.

In addition, the port of Tianjin is located in the Bohai Bay, and the north shore of the Bohai Sea is the hinterland of the Jin State.

If there was a North Sea Fleet, it could wantonly harass the Jin Kingdom along the vast coastline of Liaodong, and if the war was unfavorable, it could quickly retreat by sea.

Civil affairs, military administration, and maritime trade, Tianjin has undertaken so many tasks, and it is not in vain that Zhu Youzhen has to personally inspect them.

But after some investigation, Zhu Youzhen's ambitious plan to go to sea suffered a big blow.
