Yang Yiqing sent a letter?

Hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited, he had been waiting for a day, but he had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly said to Liu Jin: "Quick, get it quickly!" ”

Liu Jin naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented the letter in his hand.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Houzhao first checked the mud seal to confirm that no one had touched the letter, so Zhu Houzhao tore open the envelope and took out the letter from inside. picked up the letter and glanced at it, Zhu Houzhao's mood suddenly improved, he knew that his matter was done, and his father would definitely be shocked, maybe he would really regret it.

This letter is not about anything else, but about the sale of Liaodong grassland, Yang Yiqing has reported this matter before, but at that time it was only a report on progress, different from this time, this time it is a report on the results.

In the first half of the letter, Yang Yiqing wrote about the grand occasion of the grassland auction, and the back wrote about the silver of the grassland auction. Seeing Yang Yiqing auctioning the grassland according to six taels of silver per acre, Zhu Houzhao didn't know what to say. The land in Liaodong is not so expensive, but the land in Liaodong is not as productive as these pastures.

Around Daning City, Yang Yiqing sold a total of 128,600 mu of grassland and obtained 7,710,600 taels of silver.

According to the price of the pasture, Zhu Houzhao estimates that the price of wool products will not be reduced in a short period of time.

In addition to this, Yang Yiqing also introduced to Zhu Houzhao some trade in Liaodong, wool products are very popular in North Korea, although the production has been expanded three times, but it is still in short supply, and how much is sold. The population of Liaodong grew so much that Yang Yiqing even asked the imperial court to allow merchants in Liaodong to recruit workers from other provinces.

You must know that the household registration management in this era is very strict, and if you want to leave your hometown, you need to issue a road guide, otherwise you will run away.

In addition, Yang Yiqing is also preparing to organize large-scale soybean planting in eastern Liaodong, the winter is too long and the weather is too cold, and the crop that can perfectly adapt to the northeast is soybean, which has a short growth period and is suitable for farming.

Yang Yiqing didn't ask for money, but just asked for people and policies, Zhu Houzhao put the letter in it, and at the back of the letter, Yang Yiqing had already written it clearly, and he had already made a note to the emperor. This is the proper meaning, and it is impossible to just write a letter to the prince without breaking the rules. After reading the letter, Zhu Houzhao knew that his father was afraid that he was going to look for him.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Houzhao put down the letter, He Neng walked in from outside, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty summons." After giving Zhu Houzhao a salute, He Neng hurriedly said, obviously this time the summons were also in a hurry.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, then turned around and walked outside, and rushed straight to the Qianqing Palace, and when Zhu Houzhao came to the Qianqing Palace, there were already many people here. Several cabinet scholars, as well as the secretary of the household department and the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, were also there, and it was obvious that this time the matter had something to do with them.

When Zhu Houzhao walked in, several people were passing on the fold, and they didn't have to think about it to know that this fold must be Yang Yiqing's fold.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao walk in, the ministers looked at Zhu Houzhao differently, this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is amazing.

Not to mention fighting and training, just in terms of making money, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very remarkable, whether it is Yanzheng, or Nazhuang Tiantax, this time it is Liaodong, who would have thought that the grassland in Liaodong could be sold for so much money? That's more than 7 million taels, which is so eye-catching, and many people are wondering how to spend the money.

At the same time, some people also thought that this grassland is so valuable, so why don't you beat it down a little more, and then sell it all?

Zhu Youzhu was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhu Houzhao, because he had just finished talking with his son, and he didn't care about the affairs of the northwest, so he let himself get money, and all the money in Liaodong was given to his son. But now seeing this twist and turn, Zhu Youzhu knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to speak this time. Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu turned his head directly and stopped looking at his son.

"Erchen has seen his father." Zhu Houzhao saluted his father unhurriedly, and then stood aside obediently.

The ministers turned around and saluted Zhu Houzhao: "Ministers, see Your Highness." ”

When the etiquette was completed, the matter shifted to the issue of Liaodong, and it was Zhu Youzhu who spoke first, and said directly: "You have finished reading all Aiqing, and you must know all about Daning, and now no one should oppose the reconstruction of Daning, right?" ”

During this time, many people have written to ask the imperial court to revoke Daningwei, and there are many reasons, basically Daningwei can't make ends meet. You must know that Daning Wei was revoked during the Yongle period, and now there is no benefit to rebuilding it except for increasing the burden on the imperial court. Now that Zhu Youzhu has the confidence to say this, he has sold the grassland for so much money.

"Shame on you!" Liu Jian bowed with his head, his face was not embarrassed, and he looked calm.

Xie Qian also stood up at this time, he didn't look at Zhu Youjiao, but said to Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, immigrate to the northwest, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also ready to follow the example of Liaodong?" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "When the palace went to the northwest to suppress the fire sieve, I found that the Hetao grassland was no longer usable, and it was impossible to reclaim the fields, but grazing was still possible. However, there is also a place in the northwest where you can not only build a castle, but also reclaim some fields, and this place is Toyoshu Tan. ”

"Father, son, please map." Zhu Houzhao turned his head and bowed to his father and said.

"Accurate!" Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Soon the map of the northwest was taken, and Zhu Houzhao pointed to Fengzhou Beach and said: "If the Ming Dynasty builds a city here, the entire Hetao will fall under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can graze here, and the grassland around the Fengzhou Beach can become the horse grazing land of the Ming Dynasty." To the north you can contain Dayan Khan, to the west you can contain the west. ”

"The palace is going to build a wool mill in the northwest, and send troops from Guyuan to the west, clear the tartars, and then occupy this generation." It is said that Zhu Houzhao drew a circle on the Kanyu map, and this painting basically drew most of Inner Mongolia in later generations: "On the eastern side of Liaodong, it marched north and west and occupied all this generation. ”

"Move the Xifengkou of Xuanfu and the Datong line forward, and occupy all this grassland." Zhu Houzhao said confidently.

"In this way, the entire southern Mongolia of Mo is the territory of my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Houzhao said here, looking excited.

Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao and were all amazed by Zhu Houzhao's generosity, so that the entire southern Mongolia is all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is the expansion of the territory! The point is, this is not a useless place.
