Zhu Quan turned his head to see Zhu Di standing on the side and was silent, and suddenly recalled in his mind that this powerful Zhu Laosi proposed when dealing with the Nahachu Liaodong Yuan Army, which seemed to be clumsy, but was actually extremely powerful, planted fertile land and encroached on step by step, his heart moved, and he smiled forcefully: "Because after the Erchen expedition to Liaodong, I felt that it was a good granary for thousands of miles of fertile fields. Now that we have solved the Liaodong Yuan Army, we might as well garrison the entire army of hundreds of thousands in the past, which can not only guard the frontier, but also implement military cantonment and produce more food, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? When he said this, he secretly thought in his heart: I can't tell your old man now that Liaodong, that is, the three eastern provinces in the future, will become our mineral warehouse and industrial base. Since you attach so much importance to the development of agriculture, I can only start with the problem of eating. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Di, his face couldn't help but be a little hot, and he thought in his heart: If you force the old man too quickly, you can only use your idea as a shield, no wonder.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard him say this, his expression eased, and he was very pleased, leaned back on the dragon chair, and said: "Since I expelled the Tartars and established the Ming Dynasty of our Zhu family, I have been implementing light taxation and vigorous construction of water conservancy in various provinces, the purpose is to let our Ming people have enough to eat, everyone is well fed and clothed, who will rebel against you?" It's a pity that these scholars in the court and the central government talk about the Four Books and the Five Classics all day long, and they are not illiterate about the grains and grains. A few days ago, I also asked a group of scholars from Guozijian to go to the suburbs near the capital to check on the flood. ”

Zhu Quan listened to Zhu Yuanzhang talking to himself, suddenly sighed secretly, and secretly thought: These civil officials in the court are all born scholars, and they believe in the bullshit truth that a gentleman stays away from cooking, and regards eating as a vulgar thing and disdains to talk about it. Didn't there be some old men in ancient times who said that the people take food as the sky, and it is better to believe in books than to have no books? Why don't you remember these sour people? It seems that Mr. Jing said that many scholars in later generations liked to take Confucius and Mencius's words out of context, which is really reasonable. If you can't even solve the problem of eating for the common people, everything else is just nonsense on paper. East! Square! Net .com

Prince Zhu Biao heard his father say this, and couldn't help but be silent, he is the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was born poor since he was a child, and suffered from hunger and cold at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he thought in his heart: Mr. Fang, Mr. Huang Although they are full of wealth and read poetry and books, many places related to the livelihood of the common people are far from the foresight and wisdom of his father.

Zhu Di lowered his head, looked honest, looked at Zhu Quan, and secretly rejoiced: If you are in the limelight in front of your father and eldest brother, let this kid do it, I clearly watch the fire from the other side in my heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, stared at Zhu Quan with both eyes, and suddenly scolded with a smile: "It's very good that your kid can consider Liaodong from the very practical problem of eating, but we can't use that method of rushing to send a large army to garrison Tuntian to Liaodong." I have already appointed the leaders of the three guards of the "Uliangha" as commanders and acquaintances, each commanding his own tribe, and not interfering in their nomadic life. You're too eager for quick success. ”

When Zhu Quan heard him say this, he recalled what Nai Thorn had said to himself, the nomadic tribes of the grassland lived by water and grass, and grazing cattle and sheep was a habit of life for thousands of years, and it could not be changed overnight in a short period of time. Seeing the 200,000 people led by Feng Sheng's army to reclaim the wasteland, Wuliang Ha Sanwei immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he couldn't help sighing, nodded and said with a helpless look: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it seems that this is the truth." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said to the three of them: "The three of you go back and have a good rest, each think about the matter of moving the capital to Beiping, and when the court discusses it tomorrow, think of a way to persuade those civil ministers and military generals in the court." After that, the will was passed out, and Li Ling, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for guarding the Wuying Palace, dispatched twenty Jinyi Guard's subordinates to escort King Yan to each other, and after King Ning returned to the house, he turned around and picked up a piece of music on the table, watched it intently, and no longer paid attention to Zhu Quan and the other three.

After Zhu Quan followed the crown prince Zhu Biao to bow, he walked outside, and when he walked out of the imperial study, he turned his head to look at the stack of folds on the desk, and said with a wry smile in his heart: This old man, he is a workaholic who doesn't like to enjoy, and he wants to make us like him. What do you say about going back to rest, and explaining such a difficult task, is it still a good life? Isn't that a paradox?

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the Forbidden City were everywhere. Zhu Quan and Zhu Di followed the prince Zhu Biao all the way, walking on the Imperial City Avenue, and heard Zhu Biao's greetings, and only had a respectful face.

When he got to the vicinity of the East Palace, after Zhu Quan and Zhu Di said goodbye to Zhu Biao, they also walked silently all the way towards Hongwu Gate. This Li Ling's Jinyi Wei is a member of the "Jin" character guard, independent of the Fusi of the Northern and Southern Formations, and is only controlled by the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. The two princes knew very well that even if they were bitter, they couldn't pour each other, and they went back to their homes after leaving Hongwumen.

When he returned to his study in King Ning's mansion, Zhu Quan asked Ma Sanbao to invite Jing Kun to drink tea together, and slowly said what he had explained when he met Zhu Yuanzhang before.

After listening to what Zhu Quan said, Jing Kun frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said slowly: "The so-called nostalgia for the homeland and the timidity of the hometown, no one is willing to leave the comfort nest where their ancestors have lived for generations. Following Emperor Hongwu to fight the world, a group of civil and military generals in the court, the old department of Huaixi accounted for ten of the **, and the matter of moving the capital was above the court, but I was afraid that it would encounter unimaginable resistance. ”

Zhu Quan heard the words "cherishing his homeland and being timid in his hometown", his heart moved, and what he recalled in his mind was that after he went to Liaodong, after the blue jade army was attacked at night, Feng Tieling, the general under Chen Youliang in the past, and thousands of black-clothed knights under his command once saved themselves by mistake in the hands of Hailanda of the Mobei Yuan army. Recalling that this army, whose ancestral home is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was forced to avoid Liaodong under the situation and lived in Liaodong for 20 years, they still miss their hometown. Suddenly sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the old man has long expected that the matter of moving the capital will inevitably cause an uproar among the civil and military officials, and he wants to ask me and Zhu Di to help do this extremely offensive thing, and the huge black cauldron will be carried together." "I thought in my heart: I write extremely badly with a brush, even the old man can't help but scold, compared with those nerds in the court, I am completely illiterate, I can fight a group of them, if I compare this with words, I am afraid that any one of them is far beyond my ability to parry. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel heavy in my heart, and I couldn't laugh or cry.

Jing Kun looked at Zhu Quan and asked with a flickering gaze: "Based on what Your Highness has seen all the way in Liaodong, what is the difference between the northern and southern provinces?" ”

Zhu Quan pondered for a moment and then frowned: "In my opinion, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, these places are densely populated and prosperous. But Shandong, Shanxi these places are vast and sparsely populated, and many lands are barren. Liaodong and other fertile land, only for the nomadic tribe to raise horses, too wasteful, if you can reclaim wasteland, more food, then how many Li people have to solve the livelihood? When he said this, he secretly thought to himself: The three eastern provinces are rich in minerals and a good place to grow food. Future generations are our industrial and agricultural powerhouses. Once the capital is moved, it will inevitably move the population and troops from the south to the north in a big way. There are more people, there are more troops, and the ground is hot after stepping on it for hundreds of years, so it will be firmly in our hands, what nomadic tribes, what old hairymen, don't think about coming over and occupying the mountains. He experienced the Battle of Jinshan in Liaodong, and in connection with the intentions of the Japanese devils who invaded the three eastern provinces in later generations, his vision was very different from that of the past. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth secretly, and made up his mind that no matter what resistance he encountered in the court tomorrow, he would have to lie down and complete the grand plan of moving the capital to the north-south strategy.

Jing Kun saw that Zhu Quan's words agreed to move the capital, and his heart was very comforted, and he said: As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. He smiled and said, "When we passed by Beiping, did Your Highness think that the folk customs there were different from this Yingtian?" ”

Zhu Quan recalled what he saw in Beiping, frowned and said: "There is the capital of the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, the Hu wind is extremely heavy, and the culture of the Han people is far inferior to our Yingtian." Speaking of this, he recalled in his heart some of the words he said when he went to meet Nahachu and surrendered, and suddenly said coldly: "Compared with the brave and good fighting of the nomadic tribes in Mobei, the influence of the precipitation and accumulation of our Confucian culture in the Central Plains is far beyond their reach. These nomadic tribes, without a unified culture, believe in the law of the grassland, if they can't defeat the Ming army, they can get our benefits, and they are very happy when they surrender. If we change the army of our Han people, I am afraid that the generals who are a little hard-boned will have tens of thousands of horses under their command, and they will be defeated and wounded, and they will not die. ”

Jing Kun nodded and said, "Culture and life customs, if you don't affect others, others will affect you." Beiping is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, and many of our Han people are familiar with it, and they have some Hu Feng. Moreover, in the imperial examinations over the years, the number of scholars in the northern provinces is far less than that in places with extremely prosperous literary styles such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south. If we move the population of Jiangnan to the north on a large scale, we can slowly reverse the decline subtly. Although many people were not accustomed to the climate and environment in the first two generations, after a few generations, their children and grandchildren took root there, and gradually recognized the north as their hometown, which played an incalculable role in resisting the nomadic tribes outside the Saiwai and in the future through Liaodong. In my opinion, the matter of moving the capital, up close, seems to be a loss of labor and money, and the gains outweigh the losses. But after a hundred or two hundred years, the population and atmosphere of the northern provinces gradually equaled with those of the south, and the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages. ”
