Chapter 467: Want to make peace with Da Ming?
I don't know when it started.
Zhu Yunxi found that the people around him did not practice martial arts, and suddenly they all became belligerent.
Whenever something goes wrong, the first solution that the gang thinks of is to go out and grab it.
This may seem like a good phenomenon, but it is also a situation to watch out for.
Zhu Yunxi smiled, and did not give Yuan Sutai a hint under his words, but asked, "Why is the young master so keen on raising cattle and sheep now?"
"My people need beef and mutton."
Yuan Sutai calmly said the truest answer in his heart.
The officials of Shanglin Yuan who were present were stunned for a moment, could such an answer be what His Royal Highness Taisun wanted to hear?
In the current situation that not everyone can eat enough, the supervisor said to His Royal Highness the Taisun that he wants the people to eat meat, which is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Tian Mai was also a little puzzled, this young master was very different from the officials in the court.
If you are a different official, when faced with this problem, you will inevitably first list countless reasons why you must do so, and finally use countless arguments to prove that what you have done is necessary.
Zhu Yunxi nodded.
"There is no doubt that the people need more meat to eat."
Yuan Sutai sighed lightly: "It's not that Weichen doesn't know the priorities of things, the current priority of the imperial court is to let everyone in the world have a full stomach, and then how to eat better."
It's just that Weichen is old, really old. Wechen wants to do more things in his lifetime, even if Wechen can't see that everyone in the world can eat meat when he is alive, but at least it can make it easier for future generations to continue to do things.
Mo Nan and Mo North are good places, where there are boundless pastures, which the Central Plains does not have. It's just that the Central Plains has never really gained a foothold there since ancient times, and it can't return to the fields and herd cattle and sheep among the white clouds and green grass."
"Cattle and sheep are herding among the white clouds and grass......" Zhu Yunxi groaned, his eyes a little dazed.
If Da Ming really did this, maybe he could really avoid that disaster and go to a different path.
Yuan Sutai made a respectful gesture sideways, and led Zhu Yunxi to the cattle and sheep pen not far from the paddock.
Inadvertently, this young master of the empire who was already full of white hair, his steps were very steady, and his shoulders did not shake at all.
Yuan Sutai walked in front and said with a sideways look, "Your Highness, the Minister and Tai Hospital have verified that under the same circumstances, the people who have meat to eat only need a small amount of food to eat can eat their stomachs. And just eating food requires more.
And a person who has been unable to eat beef and mutton for a long time only needs more than a month for the skin and meat on his body to pile up.
And beef and mutton are dried, which can also be used for military rations. It is convenient for the army to go out on the expedition, and the soldiers go in to supplement the hunger.
In addition, a large number of cattle and sheep are raised, and the manure produced can be used to make agricultural fertilizer, which can be sown between the fields to increase soil fertility. Poultry rearing such as chickens, ducks and geese can remove insect eggs from the field and reduce the possibility of insect infestation in the coming year."
Obviously, Shanglin Yuanjian's attempt to add more meat to the Ming people was not a whim, but a well-considered one.
Even Zhu Yunxi can be sure that this incident may be because when Shanglin Yuan Jian tried to increase grain production, the animal manure obtained can increase the soil fertility, and poultry can reduce insect pests, especially after the new attempt.
Zhu Yunxi nodded in affirmation: "When the land is poor, rotation cultivation and fattening are indispensable. It's just that raising poultry may be something that ordinary people can do, but I am afraid that cattle and sheep must be specially raised by the forest superintendent, so as to ensure the yield and ensure that the cattle and sheep will not starve to death."
Yuan Sutai looked at the haystack stacked next to the enclosure.
These were all paid by the superintendent of Shanglin Yuan, and recovered by those people from all over Yingtian.
There are also bean cakes, rice husks and the like, which are also purchased from the people.
The white-haired Young Master Yuan chuckled lightly and said in a low voice, "Mo Nan can graze hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep......
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed and looked at Yuan Sutai: "Isn't the young master afraid of being impeached to encourage Lone's belligerent heart?"
Yuan Sutai's face was pale, and he said solemnly: "This is so that the people of Daming can eat more meat, not for the selfishness of Weichen."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Young Master rest assured, I should always maintain a belligerent heart, but under this, I must also have the ability to restrain myself."
"The minister doesn't understand frontier warfare." Yuan Sutai thought for a moment and continued: "The minister stayed in Shanglin Yuan all day long, but he also knew that the imperial court had been conquering the east and the south in the past few years, expanding the territory.
Jiubian even went north to conquer the outside of the fortress, but only to expel and weaken the grassland, and never had the idea of occupying the great pasture.
Wei Chen wondered if the imperial court could try to take these pastures for itself after the conquest.
For thousands of years, I have been working hard in farming, and I should not have learned how to herd. In that great pasture, there should be people in our middle to graze cattle and sheep."
This is a person who does things purely, and a sheer official.
Zhu Yunxi could not criticize Yuan Sutai's idea.
As the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, Yuan Sutai's first thought was how to make the people of the Ming Dynasty eat more and better.
And he knew that this was something that could not be done in decades or even a hundred years.
Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly: "Even if the imperial court guards Mo Nan and part of Mo Bei, it is impossible for everyone in my Ming Dynasty to eat meat."
This is a very frustrating fact.
Meat has never been available to everyone.
Yuan Sutai's expression darkened, and he broke away from the fantasy that every Ming person could eat meat.
However, Yuan Sutai still tried to say, "There can only be more pastures, and more people can always eat meat."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "If there really is such a time, the imperial court will consume more than half of the meat. Court officials, meritorious generals, millions of Ming soldiers, and then the local gentry and merchants. Of course, now that the imperial court wants to open more schools and accept the sons of the people, the imperial court will inevitably increase the supply of meat, but if you want everyone in the world to eat meat, I am afraid that I will not see it in this life......
Zhu Yunxi felt that seeing everyone in the world eat their full stomachs in this life was already the greatest merit he had made.
Everyone eats meat?
Yuan Sutai became more and more worried.
He is not utopian, but he cannot change his assumptions, which is not in tune with the world today.
Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile, and said, "Can the young master know that the envoy Mahamu sent by Mengge Timur of the Warat Department outside the Guanwai is now in Yingtian?"
"Envoy of the Warat?" Yuan Sutai turned around with a puzzled face.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Perhaps, the young master's idea of wanting everyone in the world to eat meat cannot be solved at the moment. But Lone can guarantee that at least Da Ming can eat more meat, it can be done!"
Yuan Sutai's eyes lit up suddenly.
Listening to the words of His Royal Highness Taisun, it seems that he is sure to make a move on the grassland outside the Guanwai.
Otherwise, it would not have been said that the Ming Dynasty would have more meat when the Warat Department had obviously sent envoys.
This is clearly not intended to be properly negotiated with the Waratbe.
Zhu Yunxi no longer said much about the plan for the grassland outside the Guanwai, as Yuan Sutai himself said, he doesn't understand the military state, it is better to let this old man do other great things with peace of mind.
It wasn't until after noon that Zhu Yunxi left from Shanglin Yuan.
He was accompanied by a few farmers carrying burdens, and in the heavy baskets were the current fruits and vegetables planted by the superintendent of the forest garden, and some of them were rare fruits and vegetables cultivated in greenhouses.
If it weren't for a few things to keep seeds, Zhu Yunxi would probably want to loot the entire Shanglin Yuan prison.
However, after Zhu Yunxi left, Yuan Sutai, the imperial young master with the highest official position in the court, was completely numb.
Looking at the chickens, ducks, geese and geese around him, and the cattle and sheep that kept calling not far away, Yuan Sutai's whole face darkened.
Several Shanglin Yuan supervisors
The officials kept their mouths shut, not daring to make a sound.
"500,000 quintals of sweet potato ......"
Yuan Sutai muttered quietly, only feeling dizzy at this huge number.
If these 500,000 quintals of sweet potatoes are sent to the customs through their own hands, I am afraid that they will immediately be infamous as an enemy.
But the order of the grandson cannot be violated.
Yuan Sutai can suspect anyone, but he can't doubt that His Royal Highness Taisun will do something to damage the Ming Dynasty.
After thinking about it, Yuan Sutai took a deep breath and turned to look at his colleagues around him.
"Your Highness's meaning is already known to you, 500,000 quintals of sweet potatoes must be taken out and sent to Guanwai next year."
"This 500,000 quintals of sweet potatoes have to be planted by me in the Lin Yuan prison, and I can't let the people who finally have something to eat empty again because of things outside the gate."
"Discuss with Ying Tianfu to see if there is any wasteland in various places, and I will be allowed to go to the forest garden to reclaim it. If it is insufficient, go to the palace to see if we can temporarily use a few imperial villages."
Yuan Sutai has already paid great attention.
Now that the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor wants to raise cattle and sheep, and His Royal Highness Taisun wants 500,000 quintals of sweet potatoes, then he will take the opportunity to raise this number even higher.
People can eat sweet potatoes, and so can cattle and sheep.
An official said in a low voice: "Your Highness is used outside the customs, I'm afraid you won't explain the root cause to the court in detail, so as to keep it a secret. When the time comes, I am afraid that the prison will be questioned a little bit."
Yuan Sutai shook his robe, and said with a straight face: "The major affairs of the country, the ministers will question them, and there will be a day when they will be known. If you spare your life, how can the kingdom be made?"
Everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.
"Young Master, Righteousness!"
……
"Warat wants to make peace with me, and at this moment Mahamu is marching in the Huagai Hall to ask to marry the daughter of my clan."
Peal pedal, pedal, pedal.
Zhu Gaochi, who had been guarding in front of Youshun Gate for a long time, was waiting for Zhu Yunxi to return to the palace, and watched the other party return to the palace from outside the noon gate from a distance, so he immediately walked over quickly, and whispered in a low voice about the current situation in the palace.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and beckoned Tian Mai to take the farmer who had entered the palace with the burden from Shanglin Yuanjian, and sent the fruits and vegetables to the East Palace, in case he would cook a few dishes for the princess and the side concubine later.
And he looked at the little fat who rushed over.
I looked at the right door, and that side used to be where the yamen of the tax office was located.
"Kiss?" Zhu Yunxi's brows were already furrowed.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Brother Xi'er, who had just returned to the palace, and frowned when he saw that the other party only said one word, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.
Obviously, Brother Xi'er probably disagreed with the peace proposed by Warabu.
Zhu Gaochi said softly: "After all, it was the envoy sent by the Warat Ministry who handed over the face of the saint to the palace, and the imperial grandfather was not good at wiping the face of the Warat Department at this time, so he called the uncle to meet him in the Huagai Palace."
Or because of the Mongol-Tatar part on the east side of the Great Wall.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little colder, although the Central Plains had been restored for nearly thirty years now, the Ming Dynasty had not achieved much of a suppressive advantage over the grassland.
Fighting a gang and wooing a gang has always been like this.
The ancestors of the Central Plains people mastered the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and combined vertical and horizontal strategies a long time ago.
Zhu Yunxi groaned, "Mahamu wants to marry the daughter of my Ming clan for the son of Mengge Timur?"
Zhu Gaochi hesitated, a little hesitant how to say.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly showed a sharp edge: "Who do you want to marry!"
Zhu Gaochi, who was facing the oppression of Zhu Yunxi's eyes, couldn't help but swallow his throat, and whispered more and more, "It's Sister Shu......
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yunxi immediately snorted coldly, and his eyes were already looking at the three major halls behind him over the Fengtian Gate.
After shouting angrily, Zhu Yunxi lifted his steps and wanted to go to the Huagai Palace.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly followed, and said urgently: "Don't be in a hurry, Grandpa Huang will definitely not agree. It was the emperor's grandfather who intended to win over the Warat Department, and it was absolutely impossible for the uncle to marry the sister Shu outside the Guanwai."
Zhu Yunxi turned a deaf ear.
From the Fengtian Gate Daohua Gai Palace, he has walked this road for many years and many times, but none of them are more impatient than this time.
When Zhu Yunxi walked to the front of the Huagai Palace, Mahamu was facing away from him in the open hall door, bowing down in front of His Majesty's steps, talking to the Ming Emperor and the crown prince on the Majesty's steps.
Sun Gou'er, who was waiting for the emperor, saw His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun come back from a distance.
He immediately bent down and attached his ear to the emperor's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has returned."
"Da Ming Gui is the kingdom of God, rich in the sea, Weijia ......"
Ma Hamu, the envoy of the Warat Ministry, was still flattering Da Ming, and Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes had already been raised and looked out of the hall.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and waved outside the hall.
Zhu Yunxi immediately bowed down and stepped over the palace gate, and crossed over from Ma Hamu with brisk steps, to the front of His Majesty's steps.
"Grandson see grandfather, see father."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed twice: "They are all fathers, and they are still messing around outside all day, where did they go to play today?"
Mahamu is still trying to marry the daughter of the Ming clan back for the sake of the prosperity of the Warat Department.
I don't want that damn Emperor Daming grandson to appear here.
Ma Hamu closed his mouth and quietly stared at the grandson of the Ming Emperor standing in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi turned sideways slightly and looked back at Ma Hamu with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were a little ambiguous, making people unable to distinguish their thoughts at the moment.
Mahamu couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he arched his hand and whispered, "Foreign ministers, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."
"It's the envoy of Mahamu." Zhu Yunxi chuckled, glanced back at his own old man on the throne, and just took the time to make an expression of watching the play.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "I heard that the Warat Department wants to make peace with my Daming, I don't know which of the daughters of Brother Meng's Timur is going to be sent to my Daming?"
