"This is the field of hope!"

Yang Qing stood in the sea of rape flowers, looking at the busy farmland in front of him and sighed.

As for Princess Kunxing, she is bringing water to people.

Her Royal Highness Princess Kunxing, the Great Ming Supervisor, is driving a specially modified carriage with a large group of children in this mottled field. From time to time, she stopped to take bowls of tea from the faucet and distributed them to the grateful peasants with her remaining hand......

It's called image packaging!

In fact, Yang Qing had already made a special prosthetic hand for her.

All she had broken was her forearm.

Although Chongzhen's sword was not completely cut, it was no different from being broken, Yang Qing could only amputate it for her and then treat the wound, but most of the section above the elbow was still there. A hollow prosthetic arm and hand with movable joints carved out of ivory, usually with gloves filled with various spices she likes, and then put on the severed arm. It's just that you can't take the initiative to do some actions on your own, but when you need to change postures, you can use your other hand to help, for example, under the cover of a maid. Anyway, all she needed was to make a vase on some formal occasion, where no one dared to come to her and examine the supposedly physical disability of the theoretical half-Ming ruler.

As for being in the palace, it doesn't matter, she can do whatever she likes!

But now Yang Qing wants her to show her broken arm.

What happened to disability?

This is a sign that she was born and died together with the first emperor and experienced the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, this is a sign of her filial piety to the first emperor, and this is a sign of glory. Who experienced the test of life and death with the first emperor on the Haihe River, who led the army to fight a bloody battle to save the first emperor at Shanhaiguan, and who led the lone army north to block the 100,000 iron horsemen of Jiannu in Tashan?

It's her!

It's her!

That's her!

It was she who led the lone army to rescue the first emperor from Shanhaiguan with a wound that had not yet healed!

Who loves the people like children, and would rather grow vegetables in the palace than take in the elderly and orphans? And who pays for it to open so many hospitals across the country to treat diseases and save people? And who is carrying water and food to the people who are working with disabilities?

It's her!

It's her!

Or her!

It was she who brought the Ming Dynasty today's prosperity!

What's wrong with the show?

Xin Guogong is the best at showmanship!

Look at those Huangzhuang militiamen who drink tea while wiping their tears, if one day anyone dares to be disrespectful to the princess, it is conceivable that they will not hesitate to put down their hoes and pick up knives and guns! The city of Nanjing is surrounded by such peasants, who love the princess as much as they believe in the princess, and the union of the princess and the princess is for them the rebirth of parents. The defense of the city itself has indeed been neglected more and more, in fact, in order to facilitate transportation, Yang Qing smashed several gates on the city wall, in addition to the police, there are only the palace guards stationed in the city, and the garrison in Nanjing has moved outside the city in order to make way for the growing population.

But the city is still more impregnable than ever.

Because it's full of fanatics.

All villages, all factories, from men to women and even old people and children, will fight to the end to defend the princess, and every village and factory will become a fortress against the enemy.

That's what really solidifies.

"Xingong, the Holy One won't change those policies of yours, right?"

The head of the village next to him said cautiously.

"No, those resolutions of the Four People's Congress are also agreed by the Holy One, and the holy decree has already been announced to the world, how can it be broken? You can rest assured, as long as I and the princess are here, no one will want to ruin your good life, and no one will want to let you go back to the hard life of the past! In fact, this kind of day was originally what you should have, and when Taizu Dingwei was in the system, the military households lived the same kind of good life. It's just that after Taizu became an ancestor, the emperors of the past dynasties were too tolerant of Wenchen, which made the life of the military household more and more miserable, and in the end, I simply didn't know the good days of Taizu, and the princess and I just set things right! ”

Yang Qing said.

The worry on Zhuangtou's face didn't really diminish.

In fact, these village heads are literate, even if they were illiterate before, they have learned later, especially around Nanjing, these imperial villages have subscribed to various newspapers, and the postman can deliver them every day, and they are very aware of current affairs.

It's not a good thing that the emperor is back!

Xin Gong is a powerful minister, everyone knows this, but it is also true that Xin Gong gave the military families a good life, they don't care about anything else, whoever gives them a good life will follow whomever they want. But no emperor would tolerate a minister like Xin Guogong, the emperor will definitely seize power when he comes, and the emperor is in the same group with those civil servants and gentry, which is also well known to everyone.

The emperor's seizure of power must have been restored to the past.

Even if we don't go back to the past, at least we won't have the good days we have now.

That's for sure.

What emperor would grow vegetables in the palace like a princess, and then take out the money to do good deeds for his children to run a school? Not to mention bringing the orphans of those fallen soldiers to the imperial city for adoption and education! It is said that the military families who died in the past couldn't even get a pension at home, and it was not uncommon for women and children to starve to death! No emperor can be as good to the people as the princess, and no minister can think about the people like Xinguogong, once there is no them, the emperor will restore with those civil officials, and the innocence of the people will collapse!

In fact, this is the unanimous idea of most people in the Imperial Village around Nanjing, and even those who are more radical inside want to believe in the yellow robe of the national prince.

Especially the younger generation.

Even some small secret organizations appeared.

In the final analysis, the name of the Ming Dynasty is still reluctant among the gentry, and it is mainly compared by Yang Qing, as for the ordinary people, there is only a pure signboard left, and the only respect is only the filial piety that can be seen on the head.

This is still Yang Qing's propaganda credit.

If it weren't for his daily propaganda of Hongwu's expulsion of the Tartars, the common people's respect for Xiaoling would have been wiped out long ago.

But to the Son of Longxing......

If it weren't for this storm, who would have remembered that there was an emperor eating sand in Guanzhong!

Can ...... now

Zhuang Tou sighed secretly.

"How's this new canola?"

Yang Qing looked at the sea of rape flowers beside him and suddenly asked.

"Reply to the letter, this is larger than the previous production and produces more oil, and the small ones here are no longer squeezing oil this year, and they are all agreed with other places, and they use oil to exchange for seeds."

Zhuang Tou hurriedly said.

This is the new cabbage-type canola.

Now the vast majority of places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have achieved two crops a year, and the vast majority of one crop is still rape, planting rice seedlings in spring, harvesting rapeseed transplanting, rapeseed seedlings before autumn harvest, rapeseed seedlings after harvest to the next year and another round, and not planting rapeseed is winter wheat. Yang Qing's pursuit is to increase the proportion of winter wheat as much as possible, so as to increase the output of grain, then it is bound to reduce the planting area of oil crops, the introduction of oil palm has begun, but this is difficult to achieve results in a short time, then it is necessary to work increasing rape production.

The introduction of Brassica napus from Europe is the most important means.

Modern Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all about this.

However, this is not the most fundamental solution.

The most fundamental way is to open up the colonies and then go to the colonies to grow rape, squeeze the oil on the spot and then transport it back, the Europeans later rely on the supply of palm oil from the Southeast Asian colonies, and the current high area of oil crops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is due to urbanization. A megacity like Nanjing, with a population of more than 2 million, needs a lot of oil every day, which needs to be provided by the surrounding farmland, and even the rapeseed oil from Huguang can be sold here.

It's not just oil.

The whole of Jiangnan is facing the problem of cash crops crowding out the area of food crops due to urbanization and overseas trade.

There are a lot of cotton, mulberry, and tea.

But mulberry, tea can not be moved, the core of the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, fortunately, the former can be partially solved with mulberry fish ponds, the latter is mainly based on mountains and thin land, and cotton can only be solved by imports. Now Yang Qing imports a large amount of Indian cotton through two East India Companies every year, and the British and Dutch are happy anyway, otherwise they are extremely weak in trade with the Ming Dynasty, so that at least part of the deficit can be solved. After all, if you import rapeseed oil from India, it will take a long time to buy it in those villages, and it will be almost impossible to eat it if you ship it here, so you don't need to think about this problem if you don't need to think about cotton.

In this case......

It seems like a good idea to go to North Korea to grow rape.

Anyway, now North Korea has ten rooms and nine empty.

The previous invasion of the Japanese kingdom caused the population of North Korea to plummet from a peak of 4 million to 1 million, and then slowly climbed to 15.6 million......

Of course, they don't know the exact number.

This is just their own statistics, whether they also copy this from generation to generation like the Ming Household Department I don't know, but this number is almost multiplied by two, because the statistics after the abolition of slaves and maids in the Li Dynasty are to double the population. It was less than 6 million before the abolition in 1906, and 13 million immediately after the abolition, but even if it is multiplied by two at present, after five years of war, there will not be more than 2 million left.

And they were originally a rapeseed production area.

In fact, this thing has almost no restrictions on production areas, and it is as tenacious as sweet potatoes.

Then it's time to go and grow rape.

Under the guise of aiding the Li family, let the Ming merchants go to North Korea, and then use those wastelands to use the eunuchs to grow rapeseed, and the oil produced was transported to Jiangnan for sale, which was just right to test the Japanese slaves. And it can increase the population penetration into North Korea, and it is also to prosper the North Korean economy, if this method is tested well, it can also be promoted to the future northeast of the Liberation Zone, which is also the main production area of rape.

As for what the Japanese slaves ate?

That's easy to do!

Although it is a bit too frustrating to feed them fermented rapeseed cake, it is also solved by planting more sweet potatoes in the field, so that the land in the northeast can be well used. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to resume immigration to the Northeast, after all, he was forced to break into Kanto in the past, but it is difficult to have the impetus to break through Kanto in the short term in this era. Under the banner of supporting North Korea's economic construction, we first encourage businessmen to run to rape plantations, and then subsidize them by the government, so that they can hit the unsubsidized oil crops in the south with cheap subsidized oil.

The area under cultivation for the latter will naturally decrease.

Again, the profits from this plantation industry will motivate the merchants to expand their planting area, and as soon as the subsidized area is extended to the northeast, they will naturally expand there.

Zhu Yuanzhang's salt industry system is actually of the same nature, except that he uses the profits of salt as a subsidy to promote salt merchants to plant unprofitable land in the frontier to supply the army nearby. If this system persists, there will be no bad things in the later Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that later generations have played it badly for him intentionally or unintentionally. Now Yang Qing wants people to go to the Northeast to endure the cold, so he must also be subsidized, but he is richer than Zhu Yuanzhang, he doesn't need to be so buttoned, and he can play rougher.

The specific operation is very good, look at the Niuzhuang wharf, transport out a barrel of rapeseed oil to the owner plus a yuan subsidy, it will not take ten years for him to make the spring in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can no longer see a sea of rape flowers.

Then the grain production of Jiangsu and Zhejiang increased.

This increase in food meets the increased demand for food caused by urbanization.

In the final analysis, in this cold era, if you want to provide food, you can only rely on the land in the south, and then use the grain from the south to support the cash crops in the north, and the small-scale peasant economy that wants to continue in the north cannot be sustained at all, but the cash crops can, that is, large-scale plantations. For example, in the future, large-scale cotton planting will be promoted in Hebei, and grain will be transported from the outside world to supplement the insufficient grain output of cotton farmers, and these cotton will support the textile industry in the densely populated areas of Jiangnan. The latter used the profits from the dumping of the textile industry to feed the more powerful armies, opening up market after market, from which they continued to plunder food for domestic supplies......

It is indeed plunder.

It doesn't matter what the method is, whether it is direct robbery by force, commercial plunder in collusion with the Indian princes of Southeast Asia, colonial plantations, in short, to maximize the transportation of grain to the country.

This economic model of the granary and industrial and commercial base of the south and the supply of plantations and mining raw materials in the north was maintained, ensuring the continued prosperity and population growth of the entire country, while at the same time opening up new colonies as far as possible to transfer the population. At present, the Ming Dynasty is only close to the area controlled by the prison state where the census has been completed, and the population has actually exceeded 100 million, and the combined population of Nanzhili Province and Yingtianfu alone has reached 30 million, plus Sichuan has obtained 110 million. The remaining Li Zicheng is no less than five million, Dolgon's is not less than eight million, and the two Guangzhous add up to 10 million, and in the end the total population of this land is close to 140 million, and the current population in this world should be 500 million.

Nearly 30 percent!

Except for one India, whose combat effectiveness is negligible, there are no more than 30 million.

Once such a huge population base is released, it will be a complete steamroller, crushing all opponents, no one can line up to shoot, and let the opponents all over the country be hung up, and all of them will become young adults, and it will be useless! France, the most populous country in Europe, has a population of only 10 million, how many young adults are there in the Ming Dynasty? Not to mention the future, now Yang Qing can pull out 30 million young people!

Heaps can kill all opponents!
