Chapter 35 Planning for Animal Husbandry

Of course, the account room is not a place to sleep, and after the two of them finished their work, they went to Zhu Ao's dormitory to rest.

The next morning, Zhu Ao and Lan Youcheng woke up almost at the same time. Lan Youcheng looked at the man beside him, his identity was noble, tall and mighty, and heroic, and an inexplicable sense of happiness came to his heart. She has been neglected since the day she was born, and later was promised by her father to a silly boy, at that moment she felt that her life was really desperate, her biological father was so unkind to her, and her future husband was a fool, what hope is there in this life?

When the Lan family was raided and exterminated, she really didn't feel any sadness in her heart, but had a sense of relief, if it weren't for taking care of her sick mother, she would have committed suicide in the slave camp.

But God still took good care of her, and at the darkest moment of her life, a prince suddenly fell from the sky to save him and take her into his pocket. Such a bizarre plot can't be made up even if it's a singing.

Zhu Ao put his arm around Lan Youcheng with one hand, pinched her little face with the other, and said, "What do you want?" ”

Lan Youcheng smiled sweetly and said, "Back to the prince, the slave just feels that everything is too unreal, and I am afraid that there will be nothing left when I wake up." ”

Zhu Ao smiled: "Why are you women worried about the same problem? ”

Girls love gossip the most. When Lan Youcheng heard this, not only was he not jealous, but he was also interested, leaned on Zhu Ao, stared at Zhu Ao with big eyes and smiled: "Who else?" Isn't it Sister Dainu? ”

Zhu Ao knocked her head and said, "Just your elf, who else is out of her?" This king can be just two of you. ”

Lan Youcheng pursed his lips and said, "I don't know how many women there are in the future?" When the time comes, there will be a younger and more beautiful little girl, and the prince will forget about our sisters. ”

Zhu Ao said: "As far as you have a lot of ghost eyes, I have forgotten who can forget you, the God of Wealth?" ”

Lan Youcheng looked happy, and the feeling of being valued by the man he liked was wonderful, he put his hands around Zhu Ao's neck, and said: "The prince has to talk about it, the slave and the maid will depend on the prince in this life, if the prince doesn't want the slave and the maid, then it is better to kill the slave and the maid." The slaves and maids of the province are worse off than dead. ”

Zhu Ao said a little unhappily: "Good day, what do you say that you can't die?" ”

Lan Youcheng is actually more insecure than Dai Nu, Dai Nu grew up with Zhu Ao, no matter how she said it, she also has an emotional foundation, and she was completely killed halfway, in case she upset the prince and was beaten back to the slave camp, it would really be better to live than to die.

Lan Youcheng was so frightened that he knelt up and said, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid lost the interest of the prince, and asked the prince to surrender." ”

Zhu Ao hugged her over and said, "What kind of sin is not sinful, how can this king have so many sins to you." Besides, you are so beautiful and capable, it is too late for this king to favor you, how can he be willing to cure your sins? ”

Lan Youcheng's heart was sweet, and she said with a smile: "Thank you to the prince, the slave will definitely serve the prince more wholeheartedly in the future." ”

Zhu is a person with strong executive ability, and since he decided to vigorously develop animal husbandry, he immediately set out to do it. According to the original history, this period of time should have been Li Jinglong here to preside over the tea and horse exchange market with the Western Domain, but due to Zhu Ao's crossing, the direction of history has undergone subtle changes, and Geng Bingwen, who originally came to take over after 30 years of Hongwu, took over in advance, so he presided over the tea and horse market.

Zhu Ao told Geng Bingwen his thoughts, that is, to exchange more tea for some cattle and sheep, and horses can be exchanged for a little less for the time being.

Geng Bingwen stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, the horses of the Western Domain are very strong, and the famous sweat and blood horses are produced in the Western Regions. Wouldn't it be a waste for us to give up our BMW and exchange the tea we have shipped from afar for cattle and sheep? ”

Zhu Ao said: "How come I don't know that there are many good horses in the Western Domain, and they can form powerful cavalry?" It's just that the construction of our Su clan has just begun, and the most important thing now is to solve the problem of eating and gain a firm foothold. The development of cavalry is for offensive purposes, but now we are capable of attacking? If they don't beat us, thank God. Our priority now is food self-sufficiency, plus defense against foreign invasions. If it is only for defense, it is enough to use castles and infantry firearms, and there is no need for cavalry for the time being. ”

Geng Bingwen presided over the tea and horse market, not the tea and sheep market, rashly changed the exchange object, Lao Zhu was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walked around, so he said hesitantly: "But ......."

Zhu Ao interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "This king has made up his mind. There are priorities, don't be greedy for more and faster, the father asks the emperor, and everything is borne by the king. ”

The words have been said for this part, Geng Bingwen didn't want to say anything, and arched his hand: "The old minister obeys the order." ”

It's not that Zhu Ao doesn't know the role of cavalry, but now he can't take care of the development for the time being, not to mention that Zhangye has the largest military horse farm in Asia - Shandan Military Horse Farm.

Tea and Horse Market, oh, it should be called Tea Horse and Sheep Market now, and it will be temporarily handed over to Geng Bingwen to preside, although he is Zhu Yunwen's person, but after all, he is doing it on Lao Tzu's territory, and if he doesn't do it well, Lao Tzu will still clean him up, and he is worried that he can't catch his handle. So don't worry about him cheating and slipping.

In addition to sheep, the main meat is pork, this has to go to the mainland to buy, in the early Ming Dynasty, most of the countries and regions west of Jiayuguan have been Islamized, and it is not realistic to buy pigs with them.

Zhu Ao took out all the Daming treasure banknotes in the house and handed them to Huai En and asked him to send someone to the mainland to buy pig seedlings, chicken seedlings, and duck seedlings. Daming treasure banknotes are the most deceptive things invented by Lao Zhu - there is no one. The depreciation rate of the Daming treasure banknote is visible to the naked eye, when Hongwu was twenty-three years old, the consistent (1,000 Wen) Daming treasure banknote was only worth 250 Wen in Zhejiang, only a quarter of the face value was left; By the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, it was only worth one hundred and sixty wen.

If you don't spend it quickly, it's all waste. In fact, Lao Zhu's purpose in issuing treasure banknotes is nothing more than to raise military expenses more conveniently, and at the same time to implicitly exploit businessmen, but Lao Zhu is too confident in his authority, and he dares to issue them indiscriminately without any reserves.

Several Northern Expeditions during the Hongwu period cost a lot of money to the imperial court, and Lao Zhu refused to pay for the real wealth of grain, gold and silver, so he printed more treasure banknotes to fill the number, and as a result, the value of the treasure banknotes fell rapidly due to random issuance. In addition, Lao Zhu stipulated that when paying taxes to the imperial court, the use of treasure money is not allowed, which indirectly negates the authority of treasure money - how do you let the people treat you if you don't want to see it?
