In the eyes of many people, managing the grassland is a very thankless task, with no output, and it requires a lot of input, in such a situation, it is simply unnecessary. Just like the previous Hetao for the Ming Dynasty, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and there was no output, so the Ming would rather send people to search the set than to garrison the army here, and set up and removed the guards that had been set up.

The reason is this, it is very simple, and there is nothing to understand, relying on the rear to supply everything, with the current logistics and transportation conditions, except for dragging down the logistics, it has no effect.

But now it's different, what is the steppe? The grassland is money, and for the imperial court, every piece of grassland sold is a large amount of income. For the gentry, this is all an opportunity to make a fortune, buy a pasture, herd horses and raise sheep, isn't this okay? The answer is yes, of course.

Wool weaving can make money, buying a piece of grassland is equivalent to buying a piece of land, never underestimate the desire of the Ming gentry for land.

Even if it is a rich businessman, who makes money and makes a fortune, all of them buy land, just like the future generations want to buy a house.

"The ministers thought that this strategy might be a try." This time it was Xie Qian who spoke: "If it is really as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expected, our Ming Dynasty can expand the land for thousands of miles, sell the pasture, and the merchants need to operate it after they buy it, and they will recruit a large number of people, so that they can immigrate to the real border, which can not only solve the problem of displaced people, but also make the border stable." ”

Speaking of this, Xie Qian immediately became excited, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness is far-sighted, pioneering the past and the present, and the ministers are not able to do it." ”

Zhu Hou looked at Xie Qian, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Xie Qing is old enough to seek the country, the cadre of the country, and I will ask Xie Qing for more guidance in the future." ”

Xie Qian's purpose was to discuss the affairs of the displaced people that day, although Zhu Houzhao wanted to change the cabinet, but it was not aimed at Xie Qian, Xie Qian's behavior, Zhu Houzhao could not really do anything about Xie Qian. After the last time I tried it, my father still didn't want to move the cabinet, so Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't say anything more, let alone throw his face at Xie Qian.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youzhu also smiled, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then he said: "Everyone is together, let's discuss the performance of Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong." ”

"Regarding the recruitment request required by the merchants in Liaodong, the minister thinks that it can be allowed." Xie Qian stood up again at this time, different from the last time, this time Xie Qianchi agreed with the attitude: "This matter can be notified to the local governments and let them cooperate, but how to act is still up for discussion, and it is not easy to make the people trust these merchants." ”

"You can recruit people through Strange Fasting." Zhu Houzhao spoke on the side, and Qiqizhai was like a state-owned enterprise in the Ming Dynasty at this time.

After several years of deep cultivation, the reputation of Qiwei Zhai is not generally good, and those who work in Qiwei Zhai are not generally good. Anyway, the textile factory on the grassland is Qiwei Zhai, and it is no problem to recruit workers with the reputation of Qiwei Zhai. Zhu Houzhao had already thought about this matter, originally he planned to use it in the northwest, but he didn't expect to use it in Liaodong first.

"There are no taboos." Xie Qian naturally knew about Qi Wei Zhai, and he also knew that Qi Wei Zhai could do this.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, this was the first time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had publicly shown his control over the strange fast, but the people present didn't say much, not because they were used to it, but because they knew that even if they did, they couldn't change anything. If you really want to impeach, then the unlucky yourself is yourself, who doesn't know that Qiwei Zhai is a cornucopia.

This cornucopia is now royal, both the emperor and the crown prince are holding it tightly, do you want to go and snatch this cornucopia out?

I really thought that the emperor and the crown prince were good to talk, whoever dared to move this thought, the end would definitely not be much better, all the people present were human spirits, and naturally they would not be wrong anyway.

"Okay, then let's do it!" Zhu Youzhu also smiled and nodded, and then said: "Since it is a good thing, then the northwest can also handle it in the same way, do you want to think about it is appropriate to go with people?" You can temporarily set up a trilateral governor to do this, build a city on Toyosu Beach, establish a woolen textile factory, and auction pastures, and the responsibility is not light! ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at his father, and said bluntly: "Father, didn't you say to let your sons go?" ”

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhu to speak, Li Dongyang stood up this time and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers didn't know what to do, but now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has pointed out the way, the ministers can naturally handle things well." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just gotten married, and it is in the capital that he accompanies the Crown Princess, and it is best to give birth to the eldest grandson for our Ming Dynasty. ”

Glancing at Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao scolded in his heart, you are an old yin, at this time, you and my father are wearing a pair of pants, and you are talking about giving birth to a son.

In the Ming Dynasty, having a son is always the most important thing, especially for the royal family, because having an heir represents stability.

As for the real reason, it is very simple, this is a big credit, and it is also a big benefit, the thing is too big, there are so many benefits in it, who doesn't want to go? The three cabinet scholars can't go, but there are quite a few of them! It was inconvenient for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go down, so after Li Dongyang said this, everyone else also spoke.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father, and saw him standing with his beard stroked, squinting his eyes and smiling, looking like this, Zhu Houzhao was angry.

Why didn't Dad let him go, the reason is very simple, although he also wanted to hug his grandson, but it was impossible to be so eager, and even delayed the business because of this. Daddy is mainly for money, to put it bluntly, it's for the more than 7 million taels in Liaodong, and Daddy doesn't want to give it to himself. If you can't go, don't you have to give the money?

When the courtiers pass, how to give this money still if they want to give it? So Dad didn't want to let him go, as soon as Li Dongyang and the others said this, Dad felt that this was a good thing.

"Father!" Zhu Youzhu hurriedly took a step forward, he was also afraid now, once his father agreed, then he really couldn't go, this is not good!

"Father, Erchen is going to the northwest, in addition to the things I said last time, Erchen is also preparing to send troops here." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao made a comparison on the map again, and it was the Yili area on the map: "Erchen is going to use this place to go west, and then open up the Silk Road to the west, after this road is opened, wool products in the northwest can be sold from here." ”

"In addition, there are Jiangnan silks, mirrors, and strange Zhai that are not saved, all of which can be sold through this road."
