For the conflict between Yang Feng and King Jin and King Qi, these brothers......

Including him beating himself stupidly Seventh Brother.

Zhu Zhi didn't care at all.

Half-......

That's not brothers!

To be exact, they're all bad women's pups!

In an imperial family like this, half-brothers can basically be enemies, Zhu Zhi's mother is long gone, and he is the only one who really depends on each other.

Little princess.

One of the other so-called brothers and sisters is counted as one, and in his heart they are just puppies of bad women, and those who are concubines like him are also low-level concubines, and they are not pleasing to the eye when they look at the sons of those concubines or favorite concubines, and his feelings for these people are simply negative. In fact, even he was dissatisfied with Zhu Di, who was too good to the Mongol Jurchens and others, and because he had already known the future from the little princess, he had always had a deep hostility towards these tribes.

It was under his threat that Aru Timur was arrested by his fourth brother.

Aru Timur did not defect.

He did have that thought, but it was all just a thought.

A little whiny at best.

Zhu Di also knew that the root cause was that he had been thrown in Huining for too long, and these people who were originally loyal to him were uneasy, so he still wanted to defend it, and he didn't actually want to arrest it in history, but his eldest brother forced him to arrest it.

In order to prevent him from rebelling, Xu Huizu single-handedly made Aru Timur eucalyptus and forced him to cut off his wings himself.

But now that his eldest brother is gone, his fifteenth brother has forced him.

Zhu Zhi's Liao domain guards are already preparing to raid Alu Timur, if Zhu Di doesn't arrest him, then he, the real king of Liaodong, will do it for his fourth brother, after all, it is in his jurisdiction, so Zhu Di has no choice but to arrest people, because Zhu Zhi is also dissatisfied with Zhu Di because of this matter, this is still Zhu Di, and he is the closest brother to him.

Not to mention the others.

But......

He had to hug his nephew's thigh.

A vassal king like him, who has no ambition and no threat to Zhu Yunxi, is most importantly to show loyalty to the future emperor.

That's all that matters.

And the easiest way to show loyalty is, of course, to let Zhu Yunxi see that he and the brothers of King Yan and King Jin are not of the same mind, Yang Feng is the open enemy of King Jin, and he injured King Qi, in other words, the enemy of these strong vassal kings, and he and Yang Feng are friendly, which is equivalent to telling Zhu Yunxi that he is not in the same group as these brothers......

Good nephew, you know me.

I'm not in league with those who want to take your throne.

I'm here for you.

You see, I've become friends with your eagle dogs.

Well, Yang Feng is already regarded as Zhu Yunxi's eagle dog.

After all, he had already solved a vassal king for Zhu Yunxi who originally needed to be vigilant.

Who is the happiest when King Qi becomes a fool?

Princess......

Well, she's number one.

But the second place has to be Zhu Yunxi.

If Yang Feng can beat his uncles into fools in this way, then Zhu Yunxi doesn't need to worry about the resistance of his uncles after succeeding to the throne.

Fool!

It was also reasonable for him to cut the feudal domain.

A fool is obviously unable to fulfill his duties as a vassal king, since this is the case, of course, there is no need for them to continue to make up the number in the fiefdom, and they are all taken back to the capital as a duke, and he provides for his uncles. So at present, there are still some rumors among the people, that is, Yang Feng beat the stupid King of Qi at the behest of the imperial grandson, after all, this is too beneficial to the imperial grandson.

Therefore, Yang Feng naturally became the eagle dog of the imperial grandson.

There are still many people who believe in this statement.

It is not ruled out that Zhu Zhi also believes.

He was far away from here, and there must have been only some fragmented rumors that could be passed on.

As for Yang Feng's arrival in Guangning, it is actually to see his righteous daughters......

There are a lot of righteous daughters here.

The total number of people is as high as 2,500 people, but at present, they all belong to the level of young children, even the largest is only thirteen, and there are Jurchens, Goryeo, Wa and even Mongolia, in short, it is a mess.

Some of them were bought by green slaves.

It is that during the Ming army's sweep of various departments, it is inevitable that there will be a hard neck, and it is common for people to be destroyed, and the green slave discussed with the generals of the Ming army, and those little girls they didn't want were sold to her. And then these are also counted as Yang Feng's righteous daughters, so at present, the total number of Yang Feng's righteous daughters has exceeded 5,000, but he has never touched any of the 5,000 righteous daughters.

And it was given away for nothing.

It's an exaggeration.

At least for the generals of the Ming army, such a move was simply incredible.

And he also asked people to teach these righteous girls to read and write.

This is even more incredible.

"What's wrong with that?

My education didn't allow me to do that.

In our time, three wives and four concubines were not allowed, at least in the legal sense, monogamy was only recognized, and only eighteen years of age were considered to be adults, and under the age of fourteen was the same as your twelve-year-old, although our punishment was not as severe as yours, after all, you were hanged.

In fact, our laws are very different from yours at this time, and our moral outlook is also different.

Some of your things are completely incomprehensible to us.

For example, burial. ”

Yang Feng said.

This is indeed a question that should be taken seriously.

At this time, there was already a concubine after Zhu Biao's death, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also soon, so he had to start infiltrating ideologically.

Let this system be abandoned quickly.

"Another example is slaves.

This is also incomprehensible in our time.

Of course, employment is possible.

This point in the late Northern Song Dynasty was basically about to become a complete employment, although the Southern Song Dynasty because of the expansion of science, serfs began to appear again, but the Ming Dynasty at this point, it is still a regression. This really cannot be said to be the responsibility of His Majesty the Emperor, after all, with his historical knowledge, I am afraid that it is impossible to know these things when the system was first formulated.

Third, untouchable.

While I support that some people should be made to the untouchables, we didn't at the time.

It's not even been more than two hundred years.

Fourth, the military household system.

This is good at the moment, but in fact it will soon become the main drawback.

Compulsory military service is mandatory, but not a single single person to be a military household, but a universal compulsory military service system for the entire population, that is, all people should be military households.

Fifth, curfews.

If you want business to prosper, you shouldn't have a curfew.

At least the current curfew is unreasonable, the Northern Song Dynasty curfew can be used as a reference, not to abolish this system, but to postpone the curfew time to the third watch, and it is indeed difficult to guarantee that it is not a thief. But at present, it is forbidden to go out at three o'clock, which is really unreasonable, after all, people have jobs during the day, that is, they can have time to come out at night. ”

Yang Feng said.

He had to systematically reform the ideology of the ruling class in the Ming Dynasty.

"But it's dark after one shift or three o'clock, what can people do when they go out?"

Guo Ying said.

He is still guarding Liaodong.

He is different from other nobles, Zhu Yuanzhang has absolute trust in him, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of those heroes has never included Guo Ying's level, because this is a true cronie, his own people, and the others are at most partners, and it is inevitable that the business will become bigger and kick off the partners.

But cronies are different.

"As long as you let go, the people themselves will solve this problem, and in fact, it is not difficult to solve it, and the government will set up a government-run night market, and the government will provide trading places, and then provide lighting inside, but collect taxes on the stalls.

In addition, the gates should not be closed, allowing outsiders to enter the city for trade.

Then the gates collected the tax again.

Eventually, you'll find that the government's income has increased dramatically.

This is the model of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Open night commerce, then collect taxes.

In the end, Kaifeng City's annual commercial tax was as high as 400,000 yuan. ”

Yang Feng said.

"What if the bandits get in and cause trouble?"

Guo Ying said.

"You're giving up the opportunity to raise taxes dramatically for fear of bandits getting involved? This idea is puzzling, and why did bandits come about? Not poor yet? If the benefits of being a small trader can exceed that of being a bandit, then who will be a bandit? How many of those so-called bandits today are actually so-called bandits who are also doing business because you can't do business normally because of your various restrictions?

There is demand from the people, and there is naturally mobility.

If your restrictions are not allowed, then naturally some people will be forced to take risks.

Everyone has money to make, and who would risk their heads?

Commerce should be open rather than closed, and trade should be circulated rather than imprisoned. ”

Yang Feng said.

He actually wanted to encourage these guys in Liaodong to rely on the high emperor and secretly start it first.

Here are the conditions.

After all, it's far away from the capital.

Moreover, as a border region with difficult conditions, Zhu Yuanzhang will turn a blind eye to some of their efforts to increase their income, even if it is to wipe the edges. He also knew that it was indeed a bit sorry for them to throw these military households here, and now that they could find their own ways to make money, it would be easy for him to interfere and cause resentment.

Now these guys are already rubbing the edges, such as the canned food of King Liao, the salt content is getting higher and higher.

It can be used directly as salt.

But he's not a private salt.

It's not salted fish either.

After all, the law is completely blank, although this question is useless to the common people, and the official word has two mouths, but he is the vassal king, and it is useless to have a few official words.

At least before the imperial court revised the salt law and set the salt content of cans, he made the cans so that people could die, and that was not a violation of the salt law.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand?

Of course he does.

But he also knows that he threw his son into the ice and snow of Liaodong, so far there is no palace, the whole family lives in tents, and the output is only one-quarter and one-fifth of that of Jiangnan, you have to give him a way to make money in such an environment!

Similarly, Kaiyuan's generals were already mining silver mines.

This is also rubbed.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang did not approve the mining.

He understood that mining silver there meant that Liaodong needed to feed more people who were out of production, or that it needed to transport more grain from the south, which was clearly against his principles. But he still turned a blind eye to the exploitation of those generals in Kaiyuan and took a tacit attitude, as for the same reason, after all, it was more bitter than Quang Ninh. Moreover, a large part of these generals in Kaiyuan led troops to fight with Zhu Di and Zhu Zhi in Huining, the kind of ghost place that even the Mongols want to leave makes people fight for a long time, don't you give some benefits?

So now that the Liaodong Group is agitated, in order to increase its income, it is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang will also turn a blind eye.

It's too bitter here after all.

It is necessary to give these border soldiers the motivation to stay here.

Of course, the main thing is that this is beneficial to Yang Feng.

In fact, farming is only the basic condition for survival, but if people want to accept minus 30 degrees, they must be able to see a bright future at minus 30 degrees.

Farming.

Business.

Even run out to grab it.

The most important of these is probably industry and commerce.

So he needs an open business environment in Liaodong.

After fooling Guo Ying and the others, Yang Feng and Zhu Zhi went north together, they took a boat directly on the Liao River, and then took advantage of the south wind that had completely turned, and went up the Liao River to Laomi Bay, where they got off the boat and arrived at Kaiyuan. Then Yang Feng saw the wooden rail transportation he designed in Kaiyuan, which was built in the name of transporting grain to Jilin, basically according to his requirements, but more simple than he imagined. It was difficult in this era that only rough wooden rails were laid on the same rough sleepers, and there was a solid roadbed underneath, and there were no stones or anything.

Simply lay a solid roadbed.

Anyway, the maintenance is simple.

In order to avoid the wrong car, simply repair the line, one north and one south.

Because of the abundance of timber and the simplicity of the workmanship, the construction speed is very fast, and now it is almost paved to Changtu, including the supporting carriages have also been used on it. This is also simple, it is iron-clad wheels, but there is a block on the inside of the wheel, the only problem is the wear of the wooden rail, and the solution is that the wooden rail is also iron-clad.

However, after the production of the iron yard needs to be increased, the current method is very simple.

Brush the wooden rails with a lot of oil.

Then wear out to a certain extent and replace it.

Guarding the vast primeval forest, the wood is the least valuable.

Then Yang Feng and King Liao can take a wooden rail carriage to experience the feeling of speed.

"It's still too slow!"

Yang Feng sat on the four-wheeled wooden rail carriage and said indifferently.

"Is this slow?"

King Liao, who was obviously very excited next to him, looked at the small tree that was constantly retreating beside him.

The craftsmen of Liaodong have learned to plant trees to prevent soil erosion, so this wooden track road is lined with newly planted small trees, after all, for this rammed earth roadbed, the biggest threat is actually the water erosion, in addition to the terrain is slightly higher on both sides, the rest is to plant trees to slow down.

"How much can this be, thirty times an hour? It's faster than an electric three-wheeler. ”

Yang Feng sighed.

Of course, in this era, a horse-drawn carriage loaded with more than 2,000 catties of goods is moving forward at the speed of an electric three-wheeler, which can already be said to be a miracle.

In the past, taking the rammed earth road, transporting 1,000 catties of grain from Kaiyuan to Changtu, even the carriage had to walk for half a day, but now it is an hour, if it is repaired all the way to Jilin according to the plan, this transportation distance that is the heaviest burden on the Ming army at present can be shortened to less than ten days. It is also possible to double the load capacity of a carriage, but in this case more soldiers will need to maintain the road, so the road guards should also appear.

I have to say that this is already the Ming version of the Northeast development.

Wherever the railroad extended, prosperity went.
