Several princes were speechless one after another, as royal children, their knowledge could not be bad, but for the grassland......

Why can't the grassland grow food, several princes know a little, but they can't say why, but at least one thing is more agreeable.

That is, if the grassland can grow crops, then the Central Plains Dynasty would have started a long time ago, even if it was fought slowly, inch by inch, and finally hundreds of heroic cities could be built on the grassland, and then dispatch liuguan to complete absolute rule.

However, Emperor Qin and Han Wu did not do it, and Tang Zong Mingzu did not do it because it was worthless.

Laying down the entire grassland, even if you can build a city, then the grain must also rely on the supply of the Central Plains, which is simply unimaginably large, not to mention the decline of national strength and even the end of the dynasty can not be done, even if you want to do this at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is estimated that it will inevitably drag down the national strength.

Therefore, the war between the Central Plains and the grassland has lasted for thousands of years, and there is never a time when it will never stop, even if this battle of Dushikou hammers the little prince half to death, what can it do?

After more than ten or twenty years, the grassland will still resurge, and then continue to kowtow south, Taizu crippled Meng Yuan, Yongle destroyed the grassland, and the last few decades are not a bird.

"Uncle Wang must not know why the grassland can't grow crops."

"Your Majesty knows?" Zhu Youqi regretted it a little after asking this, what is this? Questioning the wisdom of the Son of Heaven?

Zhu Houwei naturally didn't care much about the rudeness in his words, and said straightforwardly: "Actually, it's simple, there are too few rivers on the grassland, and the lack of water is not conducive to the irrigation of crops, and there are many deserts on the edge of the grassland, because of the existence of grassland, soil erosion can be effectively curbed, if crops are planted on a large scale, then soil erosion will be intensified, and then the entire grassland will be rapidly desertified......

What about soil erosion and ecological balance with the kings, Zhu Houwei didn't know if it was a little ahead, after all, in this era, even scholars may not have such insights.

But it is much easier to understand that there is no water source and crops cannot be grown, and as soon as he said this, several princes suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.

In fact, Zhu Houwei also imagined how to make the grassland pasture become the granary of the Ming Dynasty, and he felt a little ridiculous when he thought about it.

For example, in the desert and around the frenzied afforestation, such as digging rivers in the grasslands, and then diverting water from the south to the north......

Then these thoughts were thrown to the back of Zhu Houwei without hesitation, just kidding, the great cause that the new society in the future has not been able to accomplish is a great project for New China, and he is expected to achieve it in this era?

That's not, it's a feather duster!

Zhu Houwei's interest is not in the grassland, because he can learn from the methods of later generations for the grassland, and then achieve effective rule.

This nation that makes the people of the Central Plains talk about it is the same thing for Zhu Houwei, when the time is ripe, he will naturally have a way to rectify the grassland and solve the problem of nomadism once and for all!

He took out the world map because he was so happy, and he wanted to show off the great blueprint in his mind, what kind of grassland is it......

"This is America, an uncultivated virgin land, and in this land that is even wider than the Ming Dynasty, inhabited by uncivilized savages.

Moreover, this land is extremely fertile, with thousands of catties of crops per mu, rich gold and silver mines, and a pleasant climate with dense rivers......

I am not arrogant, I only need 10,000 male soldiers to conquer this land that is not less than the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and completely incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

And here, here is the Australian ......"

Zhu Houwei said that the spitting stars flew around, not that he couldn't hold back things in his heart, but that there were too few people who could talk to him in this era, and said to the eunuchs that these eunuchs could only be submissive, and they would flatter him and tell the concubine what he said, which was basically no different from saying the book of heaven.

There are some words, some insights that he can only hold in his heart, and then hold them for many years......

Obviously, several princes may not be very suitable listeners, but chatting is better than nothing, mainly because Zhu Youyi's knowledge was good before, which suddenly made Zhu Houwei full of interest, so he opened the chatterbox.

The current situation is that Zhu Youyi, who has extraordinary knowledge, and Zhu Youqi, who gave birth to a smart son, are all stupid.

Then a big question mark rose in my heart.

Why did Zhu Houwei know this, how could he know about things thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, you must know that these places that Zhu Houwei said, even the Three Treasure Eunuchs have never arrived.

It's really good, the farthest place that the Three Treasure Eunuchs arrived at back then was Kenya.

"How can Your Majesty know this, this sea chart, no, where does this world map come from?" Zhu Youqi couldn't help but ask his doubts, and then several princes pricked up their ears together.

At first glance, I can't chat......

Zhu Houwei was depressed, because these do have big loopholes, and it is difficult to explain, and it is even more troublesome to meet a master who likes to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"I am very interested in the world outside the Ming Dynasty, so when I was in Huzhou, I sent hundreds of Yongwangwei's soldiers, divided into more than a dozen ways to go to sea, and finally after six or seven years of work, I have this map and the situation in various places, of course, it may not be accurate, for example, whether there is land in this ocean is not certain."

The princes suddenly did not doubt it, after all, this was barely a reasonable explanation.

"Your Majesty wants to expand the territory, is it intended to bring down the whole world?" Zhu Youyi's voice was full of doubts.

Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "That's impossible, at least in my lifetime, it's not that Da Ming doesn't have this strength, but what is the root of these lands?"

It is to occupy, rule, and kingize, if you want to do this, then the Ming Dynasty needs a large number of people to fill these places and complete colonial rule, and the people are fundamental. ”

Zhu Youyi nodded and said, "Then Your Majesty plans to divide the kings into these foreign lands?"

Zhu Houwei heard the meaning of Zhu Youyi's voice, for the Chinese people, it is fundamental to return to the roots, and dying in a foreign country is a kind of unfilial piety......

There must be resistance and unhappiness in my heart, but sometimes I can't fight......

"The division of kings is an ancestral system, and I will not change it easily, I thought about it day and night, and finally came up with a way to get the best of both worlds......"

Although several princes said that it was a close branch of the royal family, they couldn't help but want to vomit when they heard this, everything was done so desperately, and the emperor was embarrassed to say this at this time......

It's shameless!
