Chapter 228: Who Is Stupid?
As soon as Zhu Zhanji's words fell, Yang Shaofeng laughed and said, "Yes, it's not right."
No matter how much grain is dug deep and stored in large quantities, it will not solve a problem - in disaster years, the growth rate of population will not slow down, but grain growth has stopped, and there are even many people who hold food in their hands.
For many landlords, if they hold the grain in their hands, the price of grain on the market will rise, and after the grain price rises, those mud legs will not be able to afford to eat the grain, and in the end they can only sell their sons and daughters, sell their land, and sell themselves.
Everyone has more silver in their hands, more land, and better days, and then take a little bit of silver money to build a bridge and make up a road, this money and land are in hand, and the reputation is also there, what do you want? ”
As for the rest, what does that have to do with you? This world belongs to the emperor, not his own.
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "You can't help but think too badly of people." I don't deny that some people will hoard like you said, but there are also many gentry in this world who can give porridge and medicine in disaster years, right? ”
"How many gentry are there? Is it that there are many hoarders, or that there are many medicines? Yang Shaofeng directly asked: "The lesson from Linqing is not enough?" ”
“……”
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Zhanji had to admit that what Yang Shaofeng said was right, the number of gentry who hoarded Juqi was far more than the gentry who gave soup and medicine.
"But will it solve this problem by letting the people go to work in the workshops?"
Zhu Zhanji is still a little skeptical: "If the people go to work, there will be fewer people who farm the land, and if there are fewer people who farm the land, there will be less grain." In a disaster year, wouldn't food prices be higher as a result? ”
After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Don't talk about other places, let's just say that Shandong, Jinan, Qingzhou and other places have been drought and waterlogging for many years, and it is right for you to let the people work to earn silver, but can silver solve the problem of drought and waterlogging?" ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "Then I want to give it a try too." With silver, wells can be drilled in droughts, reservoirs can be built to store water, and waterlogging can dredge rivers and strengthen river embankments. You don't let me try it myself, I'm always unwilling. ”
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and then asked, "Isn't that the same in this country?" You are now the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the Wa Kingdom, and everything here is up to you, isn't it better than going to be a county commander after returning to the Ming Dynasty? ”
Yang Shaofeng was speechless for a moment.
How so? It is said that there will be a Tang Sai'er uprising in Shandong in the eighteenth year of Yongle, and now I am not sure if it will happen, so I plan to go to Shandong to fight for you?
Will someone throw it into the fire and burn it after saying it? Even if it doesn't burn, will Zhu Laosi ask himself how he knew in advance? Did you say that Zhu Chongbatuo dreamed or said that he was a traverser, so he only knew?
This kind of bullshit statement, someone has to believe it!
Zhu Zhanji saw that Yang Shaofeng didn't speak, so he smiled and said: "Let's toss with the Wa Kingdom first, and when the spring comes, let's repair the city and let the households move the people over, this is a state and county in the Ming Dynasty, don't you toss as you want?"
Also, instead of thinking about what you don't have, you should think about what to do with the 40,000 laborers in the Japanese country. When we came, we didn't expect that there would be 40,000 laborers, and the supplies we brought were not enough, right? ”
As soon as he heard the word material, Yang Shaofeng suddenly had a headache.
At the beginning, Yang Shaofeng's biggest headache was that there were many things he wanted to do but couldn't do, such as docks, ports and cities, because there were not enough laborers, so he could only explore and plan first.
And the current situation is that Go-Komatsu and Go-Kameyama, the two brothers and sisters of the younger generation, will soon each transport 20,000 laborers, which solves the problem of labor shortage and brings a new problem.
The problem of insufficient supplies.
When Yang Shaofeng and the others set off from Daming, the more than 140 treasure ships of the entire fleet did bring a lot of supplies, which was enough for the entire fleet to consume until June of the eighteenth year of Yongle.
But with the 3,000 laborers sent by Seijiro and the 40,000 laborers to be sent by the two brothers of the younger generation, these materials are not enough.
What's even more troublesome is that there is really no good way to solve this problem for a while.
Transporting from Daming to the Japanese country is not only not cost-effective, but also unable to meet the material gap needed by tens of thousands of people.
In the Wa Kingdom, not to mention the question of whether the extremely simple and unpalatable extreme food can be eaten, that is, the Wa State itself has become poor into dogs, and then loot their materials for supply, it is estimated that the most direct consequence is to completely force the Wa State to rebel.
It's nothing to force the Wa Kingdom, more than 25,000 infantry, plus 3,000 cavalry, and more than 140 treasure ships and those soldiers on the treasure ships, even if they push the Wa State, it's very simple, and Zhu Laosi won't care, and Yang Shaofeng doesn't have to be afraid to take responsibility.
However, this one-time method of turning sheep into Geyou is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, which is inconsistent with the original plan of fine water and long-flowing wool.
Do you want to get the wool of the Japanese country, you have to help the Japanese country get rich first? This is fucking bullshit!
Zhu Zhanji watched Yang Shaofeng's face change back and forth, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is it difficult to solve the problem of this material? ”
"Well," Yang Shaofeng nodded: "We are just over 30,000 people now, and the supplies are already quite tight, if we add 40,000 Japanese laborers, what will we do then?"
Let the Wa State solve it, the Wa State can't solve it, and it won't be shipped from the Ming Dynasty for a while. It's not fucking hard to solve, it's pretty hard to solve.
Do we have to help the Japanese people make a fortune first, and then rob them after they are fattened? ”
Zhu Zhanji glared and said, "It's not that troublesome, right?" If you use the money to buy supplies from the Japanese people now, and the Japanese people will pay the money to the Ming Dynasty, it means that we are using their money to buy their materials, so we won't lose money? ”
"But it didn't make any money," Yang Shaofeng frowned and said, "If we don't have to spend money to get their supplies, then we will make money."
Now we have to take the money to buy materials first and then let them pay the money to Daming, which means that we have not made any money. Isn't it a loss if you don't make a profit? ”
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Then what do you say?" If you don't want to spend money to buy it, can you still conjure up materials out of thin air? Even if you want to learn to get real estate like Shuntianfu in the border city, you don't have any hope, who will you sell it to? ”
Yang Shaofeng touched his chin and said, "Why don't we open a school?" Let the students of the Japanese Kingdom spend money to study abroad, and the seventy-three students of this champion will teach and cultivate a few talents for the Japanese Kingdom? ”
"Good idea!" Zhu Zhanji gave a thumbs up and boasted: "There are schools and students in the new city, so we have to solve the problem of housing, and slowly these houses will be sold, and then use the money to buy the materials of the Japanese State, and then the Japanese State will return the money to the Ming Dynasty, and finally wait for the Japanese Kingdom to be completely abolished, and solve it once and for all?" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji simply sat up from the chair, made two circles back and forth in the room, and then continued: "I know, do you plan to take those textbooks from the border city to the Japanese country again, so that these Japanese slaves can study?" ”
"The textbooks of the border cities are not successful." Yang Shaofeng smiled evilly: "Although some of the content of the textbooks in the border city has been changed, but in general, I was going to the purpose of letting the Tatars and Warat completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty, so it mainly emphasizes the need to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's grandfather, and there are not many places to pit people."
If the Japanese country can't do it, it's all fucking beasts and beasts, so let them use the set of teaching materials in the border city, wouldn't it be worthy of the Tatars and Warat?
It just so happened that this time I took seventy-three students, and I went back and asked them to change the Analects and Mencius and Cheng Zhu Lixue, and teach them the theory of repaying grievances with virtue and the theory of kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, and I don't believe that they will not deviate. ”
After thinking about it, Yang Shaofeng continued: "No, now it's not just a matter of materials, there are a lot of other problems to consider.
Forty thousand laborers, eating, drinking, and sleeping are all big problems, even if each person only eats two meals a day and only goes to the toilet once, then this construction site will not be fucking done.
No, you have to let the 3,000 laborers sent by Ge Chengerlang go to build a latrine first, and solve the matter of grain reincarnation first.
There are also people who live, let's build a thatched hut first, after all, there are more than 20,000 laborers, and it is a bit unreasonable for people to sleep in the snow. ”
The more Yang Shaofeng thought about it, the bigger his head became: "His mother! The more I think about it, the more my head hurts! This solves the problem of eating, housing, and has to solve their bedding problem, and also solves their food problem, why am I so miserable! ”
Yang Shaofeng, who was holding back the fire in his belly, turned his head to take a look, but found that Zhu Zhanji was drinking tea with the old god, and the evil fire in his heart couldn't be covered: "I have a headache like this, do you still have the heart to drink tea!?" ”
Zhu Zhanji also poured tea into Yang Shaofeng's cup, and said with a smile: "The questions you said just now give me a headache, and now it's your turn to have a headache, isn't it fair?" Besides, you're stupid, so who is to blame? ”
"Am I stupid?" Yang Shaofeng stretched out a finger in disbelief and pointed it at his nose: "I am the champion of the six heads, what qualifications do you have to call me stupid?" ”
Zhu Zhanji smiled all over his face: "My dignified imperial grandson, you always call me stupid?" Now it's my turn to say a few words to you, and you're not happy? ”
Yang Shaofeng snorted and said: "Then what do you say, if your method is good, I will admit that I am stupid, otherwise, you have to apologize to me!" ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded, pointed to the door, and said with a smile: "You keep saying that you brought seventy-three students, and now let them think of a way together, isn't it much better than the two of us catching the blind here?" Do you still have the face to say you're not stupid? ”
Yang Shaofeng's face suddenly darkened, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "I'm stupid!" ”
