After returning to Lanzhou from Hami, the westernmost part of Gansu Town, Zhu Changhao's heart is still very angry, although the current spring breeze has not yet blown to Yumen Pass, and the entire northern land is still in the cold winter, it looks so bleak and solemn, all the way down, people's faces are not angry at all, as if they are desperate, eating and waiting for death.

This land change, at most, is the transformation to Lanzhou Mansion, the place west of Lanzhou, is still the same old appearance. Although Zhu Changhao is anxious in his heart, he also understands that the current manpower, financial resources, and technology are not achieved overnight, and it is understandable that in too remote places or sparsely populated places, the labor force or transportation is not convenient, and there is no change.

Lanzhou Mansion rested for two days, on the one hand, waiting for the military supplies to be sent north, after all, during the inspection, in addition to rectification, some places were replenished.

Waiting is waiting, Zhu Changhao went to the Yellow River to take a look in the past two days, after all, this is the mother river of the Chinese nation, and it can cultivate people's sentiments.

One of the biggest reasons why Cao Cao can win the world and compete in the Central Plains is that he likes to see the sea, and he likes the magnificent and boundless appearance of the ocean, so his mind is as broad as the sea, and "Watching the Sea" is said to have been written by Cao Cao when he looked at the sea.

Zhu Changhao can't see the sea now, then looking at the Yellow River is also a kind of enjoyment, although it is now the dry season, the river flows very slowly, but the indomitable momentum, let Zhu Changhao understand that the current reform of the Ming Dynasty, just like the current Yellow River water, must have an indomitable momentum, in order to clean the house and then invite guests.

Watching this scene of the Yellow River made Zhu Changhao more determined in his heart, he wanted to persevere in the land reform of the Ming Dynasty to the end, and he could not be like Zhang Juzheng, who died in politics, which was not good news for the Ming Dynasty, but a disaster.

When the second batch of supplies has arrived in Ningxia, Zhu Changhao began to set off from Lanzhou, this year's north, there is still no snow, the weather is dry and cold, but it is more convenient to transport the materials in this way, after all, the cold freezes the land very strongly, there is no mud and snow rain, very good.

Ningxia Wei is here, and it is already close to the Tumut territory of Ordos. When Zhu Changhao escorted a large number of supplies, along the way, the general soldier can be said to have been abolished, in addition to the corresponding several mansions, the eyes are full of loess lumps, and there are beggars full of patches, for the more than 10,000 people he led to guard, as well as a large number of medicinal materials, food, ordnance, the common people except for a glance at the grain bag, the others do not even look at it.

Luo Qianqiu, the general soldier of the Ningxia Guard, led the assistant guards, thousands of households, hundreds of households, as well as garrisons and guards to greet them.

Zhu Changhao saw Luo Qianqiu's demeanor, with blue eyes, and his walking steps were vain, scolding the one next door. Desire. Excessive.

After greeting him, Zhu Changhao lived in the General Military Mansion, and at the same time asked Luo Qianqiu to conduct a martial arts exercise for 10,000 people in the school field next to the General Military Mansion three days later.

After the words of ten thousand people performing martial arts, Luo Qianqiu knew that this time, this envoy of the Northern Kingdom was going to play really. Since he wants to play for real, he also decided to tear off the last fig leaf of Ningxia Wei and see what Zhu Changhao can do.

The so-called people are not afraid of death, and they can even bite the dog's mouth twice, Zhu Changhao told Luo Qianqiu about this practice that night, Liu Zheng told him that night.

Zhu Changhao listened and nodded, yes, the current border army of the Ming Dynasty is not well armed, and there is a reason for that.

The deterioration of border defense also began gradually when he became an ancestor, and now it is difficult to return.

During the Hongwu period, only the soldiers who were born locally and the guilty soldiers were allowed to guard the border in peacetime, and the troops in the interior were mobilized only when there was something at the border, which was called the guest army. Cheng Zu ordered the armies in the interior to take turns to garrison the border, called the border class, and since then the number of border soldiers fleeing has gradually increased. The border army's tuntian system also began to be undermined from the time of Xuande and orthodoxy, and the princes, eunuchs, and officers stationed in the border towns all vied with each other to occupy the tuntian, and the soldiers were forced to cultivate for them, and the soldiers could not bear the abuse, and there were even more who fled. At that time, the upright officials, like Shanxi and Henan governor Yu Qian, Xuanda governor Luo Hengxin knew that the problem was serious, and was extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the eunuchs and their private parties, and spared no effort to maintain the tuntian system. The border army could not achieve food self-sufficiency, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the salt merchants to only exchange the grain at the border for salt, so the rich merchants and magnates paid to recruit farmers to the border to open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and the granaries on the border were also sufficient. However, in the period of filial piety and Hongzhi, Ye Qi, the head of the household department, asked the salt merchants to pay the silver in exchange, and the grain was supplied to the border by Taicang, and the salt merchants naturally no longer cared whether the border granary was full, and the border land was becoming barren, the price of grain at the border was getting more and more expensive, and the border military grain was becoming more and more difficult.

After Wuzong, the border generals risked their salaries, the border soldiers fled, and so on became commonplace, and the border preparations were becoming increasingly abandoned.

Besides, now there are as many general military officers as a dog in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a city in many places, which is a general soldier, what is the general army of Ningyuan, the general army of Miyun, the general army of aid, the general army of Jinzhou, etc., which makes the general military officer not very valuable.

In addition, now the grain is transported in the border areas, it is simply a big floating competition, 10,000 catties of grain, transported from Jining in the north to Xuanfu, almost 6,000 catties. As a result, the border army can't even eat food now, so who will be a soldier.

There are 30,000 people in Ningxiawei, and if 10,000 people can be on duty, it will be considered loyal to the state.

From Gansu Town to Ningxia Town, and then to Guyuan Town, Zhu Changhao knows that the border towns of the Ming Dynasty are most important in the word "circulation".

Thinking of the word "circulation", Zhu Changhao's heart suddenly came alive, this Ningxia, Guyuan, Yulin, as well as Datong and Xuanfu, these places, due to climate reasons, planting can only be placed on both sides of the river, and further away, then grazing and breeding. Or the excavation of local coal, as well as iron ore resources.

In addition, this time he went to Yumen Pass, and Zhu Changhao knew that the iron ore and oil resources there were not blown. I remember in my previous life, there was a Jingtie Mountain in Jiayuguan, Jiuquan. The altitude difference is more than 2,500 meters, although the climate is harsh, but the iron ore is abundant, Zhu Changhao plans to use the iron ore of Jingtieshan as the basis to build a railway from Xi'an to the boundary of Yeerjiang, at least to the shore of Lake Balkhash......

No matter how far you think, it will also need people to implement it, and only after the iron curtain plan of the northern country is stabilized, large-scale investment and construction will be carried out in the north.

Now, when building Hanzhong Mansion to Xi'an Mansion, it is necessary to cultivate more railway construction talents, otherwise, once the construction starts, the fault line of talents will lead to the inability to advance the progress of the project.

In the evening, Luo Qianqiu invited Zhu Changhao to dinner and catch him up, but was refused.

In Ningxia Wei and other general soldiers, every time the governor came to inspect the general soldiers in various places, it was not for the military quality of the general soldiers, the armaments under his jurisdiction, and the soldiers, but in the general army's mansion, enjoying the delicacies of the mountains, wine and beauty, singing and dancing.

If it is the governor who escorts the supplies, then the enjoyment is simply a living fairy, not only the governor's palace will invite some famous actors to sing outside, but before going to bed at night, there must be a girl to warm the bed, and when taking a bath, there must be Ningxia goat's milk, which is said to make the skin smooth and elastic.

Although Zhu Changhao knew in his heart that they were for the food and silver in the governor's hands, and the governor was their direct superior, he could report to the court and directly remove them from military power.

If the waiter is not in place, the money is gone, and the black gauze hat is lost, it will be a disaster for the tens of thousands of people under the jurisdiction of the general army.

Zhu Changhao didn't eat this time, firstly, to show his determination, secondly, he was not accustomed to those waiting methods, and thirdly, in this lonely place in the desert, he should talk about love with the beauties in the carriage, and talk about love, otherwise I would be sorry for the identity of the crosser.

Just by the Yellow River in Ningxia, Zhu Changhao took Liu Zheng, Sun Chuanting, Wu Keshan, Bumu Butai, and Hai Lanzhu together to point out the country and promote the text.

At the same time, on the streets of Ningxia Prefecture, Zhu Changhao also went to the Wangfu business and post station to check the land reform there, and sure enough, only by the Yellow River in Ningxia, there are still a few relatively large tributaries of the land, which has been transferred.

For example, Kushui River, Qingshui River, and Hulu River and other places, with an area of no less than 100,000 acres. The main merchants were the Qin and Jin merchants, who enclosed land here, planting corn and cotton near the riverbed, as well as wheat, and grazing cattle farther away.

Zhu Changhao, in the name of the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, sold all the land that could not be cultivated by the military households of the Zuotunwei, Zhongtunwei and the Qianwei, Zhongwei, and Rear Guards in Ningxia Prefecture, and set up a "mutual market" with the Tumut Department in Shapotou and other places in Ningxia, where the cattle and sheep of the Tumut Department and furs could come here to trade with the merchants in the Guannei, including ironware, handicrafts, and textiles, except for things prohibited by the imperial court.

When this mutual market was established, the most important thing was the issue of security, and Zhu Changhao immediately dispatched Fu Zonglong, the chief soldier of the regiment, to guard here in the name of Lord Rui.

The general direction has been set, and I believe that with the needs of the mutual market, the flow of people in Ningxia Wei will be intensive, and Ningxia Wei will regain its glory.

For the day's meal, Zhu Changhao and his group ate delicious haggis in a haggis shop on Ningbei Street in Ningxia.

Zhu Changhao entered the store and took a look, the haggis here is made of sheep's internal organs, head and hooves, after careful rinsing, boiled in a pot of boiling water, then taken out and cut into shreds. Add the chopped offal shreds to the original soup, add green onions, ginger, minced garlic, red chili oil, and coriander, and become a stewed lamb offal. The red one is chili oil, the green one is the shallots and coriander, and the milky white soup is under the oil color.

Just steamed buns, eating haggis, drinking sake, a down-to-earth life, slowly rising in this haggis shop, at this moment, Zhu Changhao has an idea, that is, in order to protect such a haggis shop, this rectification of the nine sides, must be done well!
