The fact that the upper class occupied the vast majority of the resources and grain, so that the lower classes could not get enough food, still existed in the Qing Dynasty, but it could not stand the crazy increase in the grain production of the whole country.

The amount of food left for the lower classes alone is enough to support the growth of these populations.

In fact, not only the Qing Dynasty, but these crops actually appeared at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which also led to the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty once exceeding 100 million.

It is a pity that the people are rich but the country is poor.

Chongzhen also led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty because of the biggest reason of lack of money.

After knowing these clearly, Zhu Zhanji obtained these crops with the help of the system, and naturally he would not just throw them in the warehouse.

However, the number of crops in hand alone is not enough to spread throughout the country, and a transition period of crop accumulation is needed.

And this task was handed over to his younger brother Zhu Zhanyong.

He took the lead in purchasing a large amount of land around the capital, and began to slowly accumulate more crops until the number of these crops was enough to spread throughout the country.

At the very least, it is necessary to meet the level of large-scale planting around the capital first.

Of course, apart from this, Zhu Zhanji still has some selfish motives.

Seeing that the time of his ascension to the throne in history is getting closer and closer, and there are not many good days left, it is natural that he can survive one day at a time, and after he ascends the throne, the accumulation of these high-yield crops has also reached the extent of promotion throughout the country.

Instead of taking it out early, and then being forced by the old man to farm.

Seeing that everything was developing steadily according to the plan, Zhu Zhanji said with satisfaction: "It's not bad. By the way, what about the drain that you made? How's the build? ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanji sighed helplessly, then turned over and got on his horse and walked away with Zhu Zhanji.

Just when the brothers were looking at these recent achievements, the palace at this time was outside the palace.

The second king of Han and the third king of Zhao knelt under the stairs outside the main hall early, and on the stairs on both sides of them, there stood a guard of the forbidden palace.

The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, put his hands on his waist and knelt so straight.

Zhu Gaosui, the third king of Zhao on the side, couldn't bear to look around, especially the scorching sun in the sky, which made people panic.

"It's just a big scar in the bowl, ask the two of us to come over and dry it, and he will be happy to dry it." Zhu Gaosui said with a complaining face.

But Zhu Gaoxu on the side was not so anxious, and said with a contemplative face: "The more I think about it now, the more I feel that something is wrong, think about it, it's not the prince who is playing with us, it's the old man who is calculating us." ”

After last night, the second Zhu Gaoxu seems to have come back to his senses.

The old man asked him to go to the domain, but he didn't go.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was robbed of the power of Jinyiwei is a temptation, if you don't speak, then boil the frog in warm water and take back the power little by little.

If you resist, that's fine. As soon as he rebelled, the old man had a handle in his hand, and there was even more reason to force him to be vassal.

In other words, all their reactions are actually in the old man's calculations.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, the third child Zhu Gaosui on the side was surprised.

Is this what the second child can say?

I couldn't help but look at him.

Seeing the surprised appearance of the third child, the second Zhu Gaoxu also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and simply broke the jar and said: "Anyway, things have already been done, it is a knife to stretch out the head, and it is also a knife to shrink the head....."

But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Gaosui on the side patted Zhu Gaoxu's waist in fright: "Be quiet." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice slightly and continued: "Wait for the trouble, if he doesn't feel ashamed, he will kill both of us." ”

Although his voice was lower at the beginning, the second child is this character, and the more he talks, the louder he becomes.

The third child suddenly frowned and said, "Okay, small, be quiet." ”

"You want to die, I don't want to die."

Looking at the scared appearance of the third child, the second child Zhu Gaoxu suddenly laughed.

"I said the third child, are you so afraid? Isn't it just a rebellion? Anyway, I won't go to the domain, whoever likes to go to that place in Yunnan. ”

Seeing that the second child Zhu Gaoxu was so upright, just like the old man who made the mistake, he was also a little puzzled for a while: "Second brother, did you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall today?" is so confident, I usually don't see you so hard in front of your father. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately smiled when he saw through the third child, but said nothing.

But Zhu Gaosui on the side is different from him, he Zhu Gaochu found a helper, but Zhu Gaosui didn't, and his whole heart was still hanging.

"Then what did the emperor say when he asked?"

Looking at Zhu Gaosui, who was weak-hearted, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly put his arm around the third child's shoulders and said, "Listen to me, anyway, the matter of changing the guard is reasonable and legal, right?" We have all called the greetings in advance, why don't we let the army into the city? He doubts us, does he doubt us? Didn't I say hello to the Ministry of War, or didn't I tell the emperor? ”

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Gaosui still felt quite reasonable.

And Zhu Gaoxu on the side continued to flicker: "I think there is someone who is provoking the feelings between us and the emperor in the back, who is this person?" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu also stretched out his left hand and gave a thumbs up and shook it in front of the third Zhu Gaosui.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's gesture, Zhu Gaosui's brain was running rapidly, and he gave himself a thumbs up in front of him, and after coming back to his senses, he put this thumbs up in front of the second Zhu Gaoxu.

I don't know if it's because the second child is smart, or because the second child has a strong ability to hit a rake without shame.

Outside the city, on the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong were whipped up by a fast horse, and soon came to the plain by the river on the other side of the mountain.

This plain and grassland was originally wasteland, and a piece of barren grass was densely covered.

But now, under Zhu Zhanyong's planning, the entire nearly 10,000 acres of land is divided into pieces, and in the center of the square fields are rows of canals made of concrete.

These canals flow neatly through the land like the lines of the land.

In a low-lying mountain crevice, a large reservoir was built on the suitable terrain around it.

This reservoir is naturally not comparable with the reservoirs of later generations, whether it is in terms of scale or quality, it is very poor, and it is not even called a reservoir, it is a large pool that can hold a lot of water.

The water here ensures that these lands have enough water to irrigate the land, even during the dry season when rainfall is low.

Not only that, but the reservoir is low along the river, but the other part of the mountain is high.

As soon as the sluice gates made of steel are opened, the water flows automatically downstream along the canal.

Under this plan, the wasteland around this nameless dirt mountain has instantly become tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

Although there is not much area to be cultivated today, as long as it continues to accumulate, this whole area is the best place to grow rice.
