"The king is so annoying, the concubine has never been through such a thing, how can she be skilled. However, the concubines will learn, and they will definitely not be worse than the sisters who do it. "Di Linaza is an interracial woman in the end, not as shy as a girl in the Central Plains, and after the first trial, she can talk about this with her newlywed husband heartily.

"Your Majesty, you're thirsty." Di Linaza touched Zhu Ao's chapped lips with her hand, then raised her head half-crawling, and said to the pothos who was serving by the bedside, "Go and pour a glass of wine for the king." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." The green pothos eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhu Ao's sturdy body, his cheeks were slightly red, he saluted the master, slowly turned around, poured two glasses of wine and served them.

"Put them next to the bed, and you can go down. The king and I need to call you. Di Linaza stroked her hair like a dark cloud with her hand, and casually instructed her personal maid.

"Yes." Pothos gently placed the wine next to the bed, then slowly withdrew by bending over and closing the door.

Di Linaza picked up a glass of wine in both hands, smiled to Zhu Ao's mouth, and said very sultry softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine respects you with a glass." ”

Zhu Ao didn't react at first, and was about to drink, when a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, he glared at Di Linazha, and said a little unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Let others hear, do you still want to live? ”

Di Lina smiled brightly, put the wine glass on the head of the bed, buried her head deep in Zhu Ao's arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are just two of us here, what are you afraid of?" Anyway, after the death of his father, His Majesty will have to be in that position sooner or later, and the concubine just calls His Majesty in advance, why not? ”

Zhu Ao touched Di Linazha's forehead, it didn't feel hot, she didn't understand why she would say such a thing without common sense, patted her on the back, and said in an educational tone: "You are stupid, even if your father dies." It's not my turn to be the emperor, what about the grandson? ”

Di Linaza didn't seem to understand Zhu Ao's words, frowned, pouted, and said with a hint of unhappiness: "He is his Ming Emperor, and His Majesty is His Majesty's Emperor of Suguo, and the two have nothing to do with each other." This Su country was given to His Majesty by his father, does he still want to go back? ”

Zhu Ao was stunned for a moment, and really couldn't figure out whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, so he knocked on her head again, and said: "My Su country is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and this king has also been a courtier of the Ming Dynasty for generations. Even if he doesn't go back, I can't stand on my own, and the throne will always be inherited by the eldest son, which is called etiquette, understand? ”

Di Linaza pouted and shook her head, obviously not understanding this set of etiquette of the Central Plains people, and pouted and complained: "The etiquette of your Han people is really troublesome. When our Mongol father dies, he will divide the family property among his sons, and in the future, the territory they will conquer will be their own, and no one will submit to anyone. Do you see that Genghis Khan laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and after his death, didn't he give it all to his son? How can anyone favor the eldest son and not love the other sons? ”

Only then did Zhu Ao understand that Di Linaza was not pretending to be confused when she said this, but that she had a different concept from herself, the Mongols had the habit of dividing the family property since ancient times, and it was impossible for any son to eat a single share, although Genghis Khan passed the position of the Mongolian Great Khan to Ogedei, but also distributed a large amount of land to several other sons. The Chagatai Khanate was one of them. These feudal Mongol states, ostensibly obeying the leadership of the Mongol Great Khan, actually claimed to be one family, and no one was thrown off, and the Ögedai Khanate, which was known as the orthodox Mongol state, was destroyed by them.

In fact, there are pros and cons to this approach, the advantage is that it can make the children self-reliant, give you a territory, and you can rely on it to develop outward for the start-up capital, and how much territory you have beaten down is yours, so although Genghis Khan died, the Mongol conquest did not stop, until the establishment of the four khanates that almost ruled the world, so that the power of the Mongolian golden family has occupied an important position in the world for hundreds of years since then.

Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious, these divided feudal states are basically bordering, there will inevitably be friction on the border, and after the fight is over, others should fight their own people, isn't the orthodox Ogedai Khanate of the Mongol Great Khan destroyed by his own people?

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely smart, he made use of this method and avoided his weaknesses, and established the Saiwang system, that is, nine princes were set up to lead the troops in the border area. In this way, the Sai kings can stand on their own, take their father's property like the Mongolian princes, invade the land of foreigners, expand the power of the old Zhu family, and then defend the emperor in the interior of the Central Plains. At the same time, he imposed a series of restrictions on the vassal kings, so that they were always in a subordinate position, and the court could requisition their troops, and could appoint and dismiss officers within their borders, so as to ensure that they could all do their part, and not kill each other, so as not to be taken advantage of by heroes and heroes. In the end, he reached his basic national policy of "territoriality with the same surname".

However, after Emperor Jianwen came to power, the too young, too simple Tucson was broken, and he messed up his own rivers and mountains, and later Zhu Laosi was a clan king who started by rebellion, so after the usurpation of the throne was successful, he tried his best to reduce the power of the clan king, and later the clan king of the Ming Dynasty became known to everyone as a pig.

The vassal kings no longer had the opportunity to realize the old Zhu Zun Wang's desire to expand the territory, one by one began to eat and wait for death, the Ming Kingdom also stopped its enterprising footsteps, began to rely on the Great Wall, passes, and side walls to lock themselves up, and the land was gradually invaded by foreigners, and finally perished in internal and external troubles.

Every time Zhu Ao reads this history, he can't help but feel heartache, what would happen if the Ming Dynasty had been developing according to Lao Zhu's wishes? It is a pity that history does not make assumptions.

"The king understands what you mean. It's just that we Han people are different from you after all, don't mention these two words again in the future, I'm afraid it will cause trouble if we hear it. Zhu Ao sighed slightly, stroked Di Linaza's smooth back and said.

"Does Your Majesty really not want to do it? Your Majesty is now strong and strong, covering an area of thousands of miles, and when your father is there, you can be a minister, but your father has died, and your Majesty still wants to listen to other people, and be controlled by others for the rest of your life? Di Linazha's fingers like white onions slowly slid on Zhu Ao's chest, and her big eyes flashed as she looked at Zhu Ao, and said to Zhu Ao in a very earnest tone.

"Would a husband rather be controlled by others?" This sentence suddenly popped up in Zhu Ao's mind, this is after Guo Zixing's death, when Han Lin'er appointed Guo Zixing's son Guo Tianyou to lead Guo Zixing's old department, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang the status of a third-in-command, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and sighed. Yes, who doesn't want to leap with the fish, let the birds fly in the sky, and make a promise on their own territory, and take life and death.

But the problem is that this kind of thing is not something you can succeed if you think about it, Di Linazha's words can already be regarded as a rebellion, if it reaches Lao Zhu's ears, I am afraid that ten heads will not be enough to cut off, Zhu Ao almost subconsciously reprimanded: "Presumptuous!" ”

"Presumptuous in the mind, stirring in the chest." Unexpectedly, Di Linaza not only did not feel afraid, but with a trace of excitement, she stroked Zhu Ao's chest with her hand and said: "The concubine has long decided that Your Majesty is not a thing in the pool, and it is too aggrieved to be a prince. If Your Majesty has a long-term plan in the future, the concubines will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses to repay Your Majesty's great kindness. ”

Di Linaza is very right, presumptuous in the mind, stirring in the chest, this idea Zhu Ao can not admit it, but he can't deny its existence, and it also pops up from time to time, stirring Zhu Ao's blood.

Zhu Ao suddenly felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't calm down after pressing Di Linaza under him for a long time, and finally sighed, admitted his ambition, and slowly said to Di Linazha, who was already sweating profusely: "If there really is such a day, the position of the concubine will be yours." ”

The concubine is the first person in the harem under the queen, which is equivalent to a substitute queen, hearing this, how can Di Linaza not be excited, hugging Zhu Hao's neck and offering a fragrant kiss fiercely, and said in a charming manner: "The concubine thanks Your Majesty for your grace, and the concubine respects Your Majesty to drink a glass of wine." ”

Immediately, he turned over, revealing his smooth back, picked up a wine glass at the head of the bed, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and then slowly handed it to Zhu Ao's lips......

I didn't sleep well last night, Zhu Ao has been thinking about what Di Linaza said, she said it well, this king is the son of Emperor Taizu, and it is natural for him to be crowned the king of Su, and then these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are all beaten down by this king with a knife and a shot, how difficult it is for others to understand, why give it to others. If Zhu Yunwen does not cut the feudal domain after coming to power, out of the etiquette system integrated into his bones, Zhu Ao can recognize him as the emperor, and be at peace with him, guarding the border for him.

But the question is, it was Zhu Laosi who came up later, what kind of thing is he? What is Queen Ma's fourth son, bullshit, his mother is not much higher than his mother's status, and he was executed by Lao Zhu because of his life style. Why should he be the emperor and ride on the head of this king? Isn't it because of strong strength and big fists? Then if this king's strength is stronger than him in the future, and his fists are bigger than him, then why can't this king sit on this world?

But now you can't be in a hurry, Lao Zhu is still alive, if he can't succeed 100% at this time, just a crime of betraying his father can crush Zhu Hao to death, and now although his territory is the largest among the kings, his strength is not the strongest. That buddy in Beiping has hundreds of thousands of troops, hoards a large amount of grain and grass, and has the privilege of controlling soldiers and horses along the border, and his strength is much stronger than him. This idea can only be thought about now, and it must not be expressed, otherwise it will become the target of public criticism.

It is now the summer of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu died in the summer of the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and there are still four full years, there should be no major wars in these four years, it can be described as the golden period of the development of the country, we must seize this short gap, develop our strength on a large scale, and wait until the future when the world is in turmoil, we can have the capital to compete.

But the problem is that since he crossed over, many historical details have changed, and the events that should have happened have happened in advance, in case Lao Zhu also hangs up in advance, what should I do?

Zhu Ao shook his head vigorously, sobering himself up, thinking about what are you doing with all this uselessness? I can only pray that Lao Zhu's life is hard enough, don't be given a butterfly by yourself.

These presumptuous thoughts stirred back and forth in Zhu Ao's mind, so that he couldn't sleep last night, constantly tossing and turning, and Di Linaza, who was exhausted by Zhu Ao's tossing, fell asleep early, and let out bursts of soft snoring from time to time. It's too much to run away after flirting.

The next day, when the sun was three poles, Zhu Ao got up, and after having breakfast under the service of Di Linaza and Lu Luo, he began his busy work. He is now in Hami and has not yet returned to the temporary capital of Dunhuang, so there is no way to reward meritorious officials.

Now what can be done is one thing - to be a matchmaker, after this battle, there are less than 10,000 of the 50,000 Hami army left, so in the original Hami country, the number of women is surplus again, Zhu Ao did not give these people to the meritorious generals, because they do not lack women, but give these people to the grassroots with the army to fight the Uighur ordinary soldiers, solve a large number of singles problem, the military spirit is settled, everyone praises the king's kindness, swear to be loyal to the king forever.

After this problem was solved, Zhu Ao left the 10,000 people who had been guarding Hami in place, and appointed Zhou Sheng, who had surrendered to Hami, as the political envoy of Hami County, and then returned to the temporary capital - Dunhuang with the guards and Di Linazha.

Although the political envoy and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites are both from the second grade, what kind of official is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites does not need to be said by the author. However, the political envoy of a county is different, he belongs to the number one person in charge of local civil affairs, and is similar to the current secretary of the municipal party committee, who is in charge of everything except the local military and prisons, and can also evaluate the cadres in his own region, which is absolutely awesome and shining. How many waiters have a relationship, and they can't get it if they want to go down, Zhu Ao gave this position to Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng estimated that he could wake up laughing in the middle of the night.

Thirty miles outside the city, a cadre of civil and military ministers of Su came outside to meet the frame of the king of Su, although it was very hard to stand in the field on a hot day, but everyone here was happy, and it could even be said that they were in high spirits, because they greeted the king of Su country, which is not everyone qualified to come, it must be enough to reach a certain level, to be precise, it is more than three grades, so anyone who can come here to be bombarded by the sun can be said to be a person with a face in Su country, and it is worth being proud of this, and it is much more proud than the sunbathing of later generations.

Seeing Zhu Ao's car coming slowly, a cadre of civil servants and military generals of Su Kingdom knelt on the ground and bowed their heads and said: "The ministers meet the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." "Not long ago, the ministers discussed the issue of the title of Zhu Ao, Zhu Ao is now the king, not the previous vassal king, and the previous title is not enough to show the noble identity, so they follow the title of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and call him the king.

"Zhong Aiqing, let's get flat. The scorching sun is scorching, and all Aiqing has worked hard to welcome the widow, and the widow is quite moved in his heart, let's go back to the city and talk about it. Zhu Ao was also very good, and changed his name by the way. The word widow sounds much more forceful than this king, I like it.

"Please let the king into the city." The ministers of civil and military affairs consciously flashed a path from both sides and let Zhu Hao pass. Zhu Ao naturally will not be humble, riding on a tall horse, full of vigor and settled in Dunhuang City, this is the king, oh no, it is the territory of the widow.

Zhu Ao has the intention of stationing in Dunhuang for a long time, because although the main grain producing area of Suzhou is in the Hexi Corridor, his land has extended to the west for more than 2,000 miles, if he is still stationed in Zhangye, it is difficult to react to something in the west, anyway, Dunhuang is not too far from Zhangye, and it is convenient to transport grain along the ancient Silk Road, not to mention, Dunhuang also has more than 300,000 mu of cultivated land and more than 500,000 mu of grassland, which can also solve a large part of the grain problem when used.

Another point is that the palace of the former Shazhou King Alu Ge is really beautiful and exquisite, much stronger than the mansion he lived in before, and the scenery is good, Niude, why don't you stay here?

After Zhu Ao entered the palace, he first asked Di Linaza to clean up a good palace and named it Gyeongbokgung Palace, and then hurriedly convened a pre-imperial meeting to discuss state affairs, no way, just after the war, everything in the country needs to be restored, and the four-year construction blueprint drawn up by himself must be implemented, and being the king is also very busy, and if he relaxes a little, there is a danger of being destroyed by foreign enemies.

"The ministers knock on the king, the king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." After the ministers entered their positions, they all kowtowed to Zhu Ao, who was sitting on the great throne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be even, these days when the widows led the troops to fight, you Aiqing sat in the rear for the widows, and the food and grass were endless, and the contributions were indispensable." Zhu Ao held his hand and asked his ministers to excuse him very kindly.

"Thank you, the king." Su Guo is not only well-trained soldiers, but even these ministers are well-trained people, whether it is kowtowing or exempting from courtesy, they are all brushing the ground, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

"Borhu, you were originally a general of the Uighur army, and you must know the truth and truth of the Uighurs, can you tell us a little bit?" Zhu Ao looked at Borhu standing below with admiring eyes, and it was always the most pleasing to admire the appearance of his former opponent kneeling on the ground and bowing his head.

This is not the time to show your loyalty, what kind of archway do you set up as a bitch? Bolhu immediately stood up from his squad, bowed his hand, and said, "Returning to the king, the Uighurs have 274,900 soldiers and horses. After this battle, more than half of them were lost, and now I am afraid that only 1340,000 people remain, and we have to guard against the powerful Timur in the west, which can no longer pose any mortal threat to our country. ”

It's a good job. Zhu Ao nodded slightly, he was a man of the upper way, no wonder he could do so much, he was satisfied with Borhu's attitude, and said with a smile: "Got it." You've been working hard for the past few days, so go down first. ”

"Obey." Bol bowed deeply to Zhu Ao, and then retreated from the hall very respectfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our army has won a great victory in this battle, but we must not be slack off because of this, the Uighurs have already brought three million taels of silver to the king for the war indemnity, please discuss how this huge amount of money should be spent?" Zhu Ao is a very insecure person, and he can't treat his former opponents and his original subordinates equally, so after Bor left, he began to discuss military affairs with the ministers.

The matter of money belongs to Hu Cao Laiguan, and Zhang Wenyuan, the judge of Hu Cao, was the first to stand up, made a gesture to Zhu Ao, and said: "Your Majesty." Although China has now solved the problem of grain self-sufficiency, with the increase of population, grain will gradually become tight. Now relying on the divine power of the king, the kingdom has expanded its territory for more than 1,000 miles, most of these places were under the rule of the Mongolian barbarians, they do not produce, there is a large amount of arable land that has not been reclaimed, and the potential for grain development is still very large, so the minister asked the king to allocate 1 million taels of silver to buy and build agricultural tools, build water conservancy, and promote our country's grain harvest again. ”

"Quasi-play." Zhu Ao thought for a while, and then agreed to his request, although his next round of construction is mainly to make a lot of money, but the problem of agriculture can not be abandoned at any time, this is the foundation of the country, what is the use of making more money without agriculture? Can you eat it when you're hungry?

What? Buy from another country? What if someone doesn't sell it to you? Or is it taking the opportunity to raise the price to knock you out? But that? In fact, although the newly laid down land by Zhu Ao is located in the northwest with a relatively dry climate, it is not completely unsaved, because they all have relatively developed irrigation systems, not to mention the canals repaired by Zhu Ao, and the unique karez in Xinjiang is also very famous.

In fact, there are more than 300,000 acres of cultivated land in Dunhuang alone, because Dunhuang is a county-level unit in later generations, so this cultivated land area is only in Dunhuang County, and Dunhuang in the Ming Dynasty is a county, if the cultivated land area of the whole county is counted, there are about one million acres or so, and there is the Shule River water system flowing through this place, irrigation is very convenient, during the Tang Dynasty, Dunhuang has a special official who manages water conservancy.

Zhu Ao, who is very familiar with geography, knows that there are 1.1 million mu of developable cultivated land, 60 million mu of grassland, and more than 4.5 million mu of forest land in the Hami area, but this developable land accounts for only 30 percent of Hami's total area, and the remaining 70 percent is land that cannot be exploited and utilized, such as highlands, deserts, and the Gobi. Therefore, although the conditions in northern Xinjiang are better, they are still a big difference compared with the Hexi Corridor, and the root of the gap lies in the area of the oasis.

Zhangye, Wuwei and other cities located in the Hexi Corridor are basically covered by oases, so there is "Golden Zhangye, Silver Wuwei." But the oasis coverage rate in northern Xinjiang is much worse than that of the Hexi Corridor. But as the saying goes, what can pull out pus is a good plaster, and something is better than nothing.

1.1 million mu of land, not to mention all the development, even if only half of the development, the yield per mu is only one stone, that is 500,000 stone of grain, according to the treatment standard set by Zhu Hao, about 40,000 soldiers can be raised, and there are so many pastures that can be grazing, it is definitely a huge wealth.
