"Bang Bang Bang!"

Zhu Di got into the carriage and opened eight huge packages.

I was really taken aback.

A full eight parcels of gold and silver jewelry, palace jade, jade.

"Is this all the things in Jingning Palace?" Zhu Di muttered, but it was a surprise.

This thing is common in the royal palace.

But if you take it outside, it can be worth a lot of money.

The nine hardware coffins cannot be moved until they are absolutely necessary, and these can also become the funds for this journey.

"Shhhh Ah Qiu made a gesture to Zhu Di and whispered: "But you must not be discovered by the Praetorian Guards, you can't take it away if you find it." ”

"Concubine Jing said that you don't have to worry about the food and clothing in the palace, these sizes are just ornaments, Your Highness, you go to the bitter cold land to build a mansion and expand the army, you need these."

"Mother!" Zhu Di sighed, the person who loves him the most in this world is also his mother.

This is also the helplessness of being in the royal family.

No way.

If he doesn't, he'll be a vassal.

Facing him is not Jin Wuwei, who is accompanying and obeying orders.

Out of the Fengtian Gate.

The Ministry of Rites officials at the door early.

Although he resembles an exiled prince, there must still be etiquette.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites sent each other.

The main thing is to check whether the documents are complete and explain the relevant matters to him.

The power of the prince is great.

Defend the country and live in peace!

That is, it is in charge of both the military and the economy of the fief, and enjoys the right to collect tenants and rents in the fiefdom.

It can be equipped with a civil and military position.

It is completely the emperor of the earth who is far away from the emperor of the mountain.

At the same time, the prince was able to command the local garrison.

The only restriction is that the prince cannot easily leave his fiefdom.

……

Three days later.

Chuzhou!

Chuzhou belongs to Fengyang Mansion and is still on the boundary of Nanjing.

"If Your Highness wants to gain a foothold in the Hexi Corridor, there is only one thing you need to do." Fang Xiaoru rode on the side of Zhu Di's frame.

Zhu Di pulled out the window and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Fang Xiaoru smiled and turned a corner: "In the third year of Hongwu, after Your Majesty attacked Beiping, Taiyuan, and Xi'an, he did one thing, immigration!" ”

"200,000 immigrants to Ying Tianfu."

"300,000 immigrants to the political secretary of Beiping."

"200,000 immigrants to the Henan Political Division."

"300,000 immigrants to the Shaanxi Political Division."

"300,000 immigrants to Taiyuan Buzheng Division."

"Did Your Highness hear anything?"

Fang Xiaoru is not pretentious, he is purely guiding Zhu Di to think.

There is a high probability that he was also entrusted by Zhu Biao and had the intention of teaching Zhu Di.

After all, Zhu Di was only nine years old at this time.

Zhu Di climbed on the window in a daze, and replied with a twinkle in his eyes: "No one in the north? ”

Fang Xiaoru nodded and sighed:

"yes!"

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty had poisoned the world, regarded human life as a mustard, and formed a hegemony that started from Beiping and radiated to the south, and the people were struggling to make a living."

"Mo Dao Shiren has one eye, inciting the Yellow River to rebel in the world."

"The flooding of the Yellow River has led to another decline in the number of people in the north."

"The Northern Yuan fled north, engulfing countless people, fighting in chaos, and the people suffered heavy casualties."

"When Your Majesty made a Northern Expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and pacified Saibei, he set up the Beiping Political Division, the Taiyuan Political Division, and the Shaanxi Political Division, and the first thing he did was to make statistics on the population of the north."

"The political secretary of Beiping, including Beiping, Baoding, Hejian and other eight prefectures, the total is only 1.89 million people."

"The population of Henan is only 1.89 million, and the population of Shaanxi is only 2.15 million."

"This is very unreasonable, you can't feed the army without a population, you can't protect property without an army."

"Nanjing is more than 14,000 miles away from Beiping, more than 2,000 miles away from Taiyuan, and nearly 2,000 miles away from Lanxian!"

"If you want to transport grain and grass from the south to the north, it will be as short as one month and as long as three months, which will not support the military and political government in the north."

Zhu Di also nodded, he hadn't figured out how to gain a foothold in Lan County.

All in all, it is to open the mountain when encountering the mountain, build a bridge when encountering the water, and then go to the place to see the situation.

But at this time, being reminded by Fang Xiaoru alerted him.

Since Lanxian County has become his fief, it must be carved out from the Shaanxi Buzheng Division, because Xi'an is already Zhu Wei's fief, and it is impossible to mix him up again.

Lao Zhu is so smart, it is impossible to let him fight with Zhu Wei from the layout.

Of course, it would be different if he died.

Lan County is divided into Hexi, and Hexi has not yet been crowned king, if he really gains a foothold in Lan County, the biggest possibility is to divide the entire Hexi Corridor into his fiefdom.

And this has to think about another issue.

Population!

He can't go to Lan County, there are tens of thousands of people in the fiefdom, so even if he is proficient in Tao, there is nothing he can do.

"Brother Xiaoru, how is Lan County, and what about the Hexi Corridor?" Zhu Di asked.

Fang Xiaoru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is what his subordinates said, His Royal Highness should do the most at this time, immigration!" ”

"The Northern Yuan returned to Mobei and went south to deter the Hexi Corridor, the Usz Tibetan State in the southwest did not dare to enter Hexi, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the west did not dare to compete with the Mongols who were fierce in the world with cavalry, not to mention that now they are a family."

"Although Song Guogong swept away the Yuan army in the Hexi Corridor, he had to retreat to Lanxian because of the failure of the Northern Expedition."

"Therefore, there are no Han people in the Hexi Corridor except for the border people, and it is said that there are less than 3,000 households in Lan County."

"The military significance of Kelan County is too important, it is the only passage connecting the interior to Hexi, so His Royal Highness must defend Lan County no matter what means he uses."

"This is of vital importance to Your Majesty's strategy to conquer Hexi and go north to destroy the Yuan."

"Especially ......"

Fang Xiaoru paused and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if His Royal Highness encounters danger, it is absolutely impossible to retreat to Xi'an. ”

"If you really do that, Your Highness's fate will be miserable."

"Your Highness has only one way to go, wait for His Majesty to prepare for the Third Northern Expedition, and it will not be now, even in recent years, the Third Northern Expedition will not start, Your Highness must be prepared to camp Lan County."

Zhu Di looked at Fang Xiaoru unexpectedly, and his expression was full of energy.

I agree with Fang Xiaoru's analysis.

From a historical point of view, he knew that since the second defeat, the Northern Expedition had been entrusted for eight years, and in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, he ordered Mu Ying to attack the Northern Yuan Guogong in Suzhou and Ganzhou.

In fact, he also guessed that the reason why Lao Zhu named him the king of Lancheng and the fiefdom of Lanxian County was actually to prepare for the Third Northern Expedition and pacify Hexi.

It's all secondary.

More importantly, the population of Lan County is less than 3,000 households, and even if there are seven or eight people in a household, it will not exceed 30,000 people.

For the fief of a one-word prince, it would be too shabby.

Especially.

He may also have to resist the footsteps of the Northern Yuan to the south.

Or or.

Thinking about Lao Zhu to the black heart, he will be the fuse, a catharsis for the Ming soldiers to swear to destroy the Northern Yuan.

"Actually, my subordinates feel that there is another news that will affect Saibei, and it is also related to His Highness's northward trip." Fang Xiaoru saw Zhu Di's digested look on his face, so he continued.

"Tell me about it." Zhu Di nodded.

"Emperor Yuan Shun died, in May of this year, Emperor Yuan Shun died in Helin, and his eldest son of the Qi family, Ai Youzhi Li Dala inherited the orthodoxy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, changed the year name Xuanguang, Zhou Han was revived, Xuanguang Guo Mingzhe, this is to be such as King Xuan of Zhou, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty like the lord of Zhongxing."

"It is true that he has talents, worshiping Kuangkuo Timur as the general army of the capital, commanding the military and political affairs of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, using Li Haowen, Kuokuo Timur, Hara Baobao, Barbarian, Shijie Banmur and others, the situation in the north of Cyprus is probably not optimistic."

Zhu Di was indeed stunned, but he didn't expect such a situation to exist.

For the name of the Northern Yuan, he is not very cold, and he admires the rule of China for hundreds of years, and he has not been sinicized.

Especially Timur, who took off this.

Listen to the proverbs of later scholars who studied the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

Timur was hung on the paper, and when he looked up, he took it off.

Kuoku Timur is Wang Baobao, and Aiyu Zhili Dara is called Emperor Xuanguang, and it is easy to call.

But if this Beiyuan is ZTE, then there is something to say.

Daming and Beiyuan seem to be peaceful, but they are also relatively restrained.

For any emperor, if Emperor Xuanguang really wanted to revive the Northern Yuan, then Saibei would not face the harassment and plunder of the Mongol cavalry south, but the counterattack of hundreds of thousands of troops.

It may not only be Lanxian, but also the entire Beiping and Taiyuan may be in chaos.

"Then solve the population problem first," Chicheng said in a shocking voice, patting the edge of the car window.

As he spoke.

Guo Ying stepped forward to report: "Your Highness, the person has arrived." ”

"General Guo is fortunate!" Zhu Di nodded and stretched.

The carriage stopped in a quiet street, and Zhu Di stepped down from the carriage.

"Your Highness, how much can these things sell for!" Ah Qiu followed Zhu Di out of the car in high spirits, holding a huge package by the way.

It's like becoming a little money fan.

"Put it down, is it something so heavy that a girl can carry on your back?" Zhu Di rubbed the melon seeds of Ah Qiu's head, which was about as tall as him, without touching the grains with his hands.

Ask Jin Wuwei to remove the package from the frame.

It is not feasible to find ordinary merchants to sell the things in the palace, and usually only the nobles take over this kind of palace manufacturing.

And this kind of thing has to be done secretly, if you are caught stealing things in the palace, and if you steal a jewel, you will be beheaded.

Therefore, it is necessary to find merchants who can reach the sky, and do business with the new nobles, and the business is all over the north and south of the river, and only this kind of person is likely to take over these.

It is useless to take the gold, silver and jewelry to Sebei.

When Lao Zhu captured Nanjing, he began to mint currency, Dazhong Baotong.

Four wen and one penny, forty wen and one tael, and four hundred wen consistently.

After Lao Zhu succeeded to the throne, he opened the casting of Hongwu Tongbao, there are five kinds, namely when ten, when five, when three, when two, when one, a bit like a dime, a piece, ten, fifty, a hundred.

When ten coins are 4.6 centimeters in diameter and weigh thirty-four to thirty-seven grams.

When a coin is 2.4 cm in diameter and weighs 3.5 grams.

When eleven taels, when five or five dollars, the rest when three, when two, when one subtracted.

And just last year.

Lao Zhu's brain decided to shut down the Baoquan Bureau, which is the place where copper coins were minted.

Banknotes are then issued.

It is called Daming Bao Banknote.

It is divided into consistent, 500 texts, 300 texts, 200 texts, and 100 texts.

Copper coins are used for small coins, and paper money is used for large coins.

Paper money and copper coins are worth equally.

"This king only needs silver, and these things are converted into silver!"

Facing the young man kneeling down in front of him, Zhu Di sat on the stool brought by the maid Ah Qiu and smiled kindly.

But how to say it!

Lao Zhu Shengsheng played a good card for economic revitalization at the beginning of the game.

The Baoquan Bureau was closed four or five times.

Paper money was used to replace copper coins, but paper money was printed like waste paper, and there was no reserve of gold and silver, so paper money naturally collapsed.

He didn't want to wait until the banknotes collapsed with a pile of scrap paper.

This is especially true when copper coins are also stopped minting, and even copper coins are in circulation.

Only gold and silver hold their value.

But the young man looked embarrassed and said in a mournful voice: "Lord Wang, now there is no silver in circulation in the market, and paper money is mainly in circulation, so you are embarrassed." ”

Zhu Di smiled politely: "This king only needs silver." ”

The young man fell to his knees, and said not a word with his head on the ground.

Obviously, they don't want to settle with silver.

Zhu Di smiled politely: "The Shen family should be regarded as a remnant of the previous dynasty, and helped the traitor Zhang Shicheng, I don't know how much money the Shen family donated in Gaoyou back then, how many casualties did these money cause to my Ming soldiers, and they can still enjoy it in my Ming Dynasty?" ”

The young man suddenly panicked, and said tremblingly: "Lord Wang, the villain is willing to convert it into silver." ”

Zhu Di said again: "Do you think it's reasonable to have one or two taels of silver and eight hundred Wen?" ”

The young man said bitterly: "Reasonable, reasonable! ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "As for those big bags and small bags, this king doesn't have much time, before dark, you move those things, and the silver I want will be sent to me." ”

The young man got up and opened the package.

Both hands trembled.

"Gold earrings with red sapphires!"

"Jeweled gold head!"

"Gold-inlaid double dragon play beaded amber ornament!"

"Bead Shake Dance!"

"Jewel-encrusted gold bracelet!"

"Gold and jade belt!"

"Jewel-encrusted gold chain incense box!"

"Engraved incense scroll silver box!"

"Carved pan claw pattern octagonal jade plate!"

……

The more the young man trembled, the more powerful he became, counting them one by one.

240 pieces of gold and 150 pieces of jade.

All the gold, silver and jade that flowed out of the court were sought after by local wealthy families and major nobles with ability and identity background.

It is even seen as a status symbol.

The smallest device has a royal color, and it costs at least a hundred taels of silver.

And such large objects such as gold-inlaid jade headdresses, it is difficult to find a thousand taels of silver.

Especially.

This thing is added to the concubines in the palace.

The young man swallowed a breath of cool air, if these things were exchanged for silver, it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

The youth was quick to make a judgment.

"Poof!"

"The villain doesn't have that much silver, and he doesn't dare to receive so many palace objects at once."

The young man knelt in front of Zhu Di again, and he didn't dare to speak.

This business can't be done.

"Who are you from Shen Wansan?" Zhu Di didn't care, and asked lightly.

"Grandfather Shen Wansan, the villain is Shen Hongtai, the eldest son of Shen Chunhong in the fourth room." The young man hurriedly replied.

Zhu Di nodded, this person's status is okay.

Immediately, he didn't care about the Shen family, he just smiled at himself: "You can take all the things now, you can set the price, and when it will be delivered to you, it all depends on your mind, how about it?" ”

Shen Hongtai raised his head in shock, staring at the fat young man sitting on the stool in disbelief, his smiling face made him feel creepy.

Dealing with the imperial court, especially with the Zhu family, they had already understood it in the first year of Hongwu.

Take it all, this day is a big bargain, he doesn't dare to touch it at all.

"General Guo, no problem, please order someone to send these packages and this Shen Gongzi back from wherever they were invited."

Zhu Di didn't care about Shen Hongtai's wishes, let alone the Shen family.

The conditions he has already opened.

All silver, one tael of silver and eight hundred wen, and only silver.

As for sending all the things out, the Shen family has not given money yet.

Then it depends on whether the Shen family knows each other or not.

He just did it.

As for what to do, that's the matter of Guo Ying, who may make a small report anytime and anywhere.

With his current status and status, it is naturally impossible to shake or make a wealthy businessman like the Shen family scruples.

Especially his fiefdom is in Lan County, and he can't fight with the Shen family.

But his identity is here, if the Shen family pats his ass and leaves.

He believes that Lao Zhu, who is bent on making money, will definitely be interested.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Guo Ying received the order, stood in front of Shen Hongtai and said, "Let's go, Shen Gongzi." ”

"The prince is gracious!" Shen Hongtai still wanted to struggle again.

Guo Ying gave an order, and had already ordered Jin Wuwei to pick up Shen Hongtai and leave with eight large packages.

"Ah, Your Highness, just let them take it away, didn't Your Highness ask for silver, that's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, what if the Shen family doesn't send it to His Highness!" Ah Qiu saw that the gold, silver and jade were gone in an instant, and there was no silver to send, so he couldn't help but scream.

Those things were only obtained after emptying the entire Jingning Palace.

Even the accessories that Concubine Jing was carrying were pulled down together and hurriedly delivered.

"Get in the car, twitter!"

Zhu Di doted on the top of Ah Qiu's head a few times.

I'm almost an adult, but I'm still so cute.

Seeing that it is getting dark, I must be resting in Chuzhou tonight.

The location is at the post house.

A place to receive incoming and outgoing officials.

"Oh......" Ah Qiu muttered obediently and helped Zhu Di into the carriage.

Looking at the empty carriage in an instant, his eyes suddenly watered.

Zhu Di didn't explain too much, and continued to climb on the window edge to chat with Fang Xiaoru.

"Brother Xiaoru, just now we talked about how to immigrate, is there any way?" Zhu Di continued on the unfinished topic.

But it was Fang Xiaoru who watched Zhu Di exercise hegemony and sell mercilessly, which can be said to have made a very big change to Zhu Di.

Those forcibly given to Shen Hongtai are equivalent to giving them to the Shen family's court jewelry, if the Shen family does not handle it properly.

That is the disaster of the Nine Clans.

I can only sigh secretly in my heart, there is no simple one in the Zhu family.

Zhu Di continued to chat, Fang Xiaoru could only suppress the fear in his heart, shook his head and said: "It's very difficult, the people in the countryside have a strong idea of their homeland and hometown, and the only way is to move the village by force." ”

"Even if His Majesty personally ordered a forced move north, there was a lot of turmoil."

"If Your Highness wants to forcibly get immigrants to Lanxian, I'm afraid that you will get the Shaanxi Political Secretary to immigrate for His Highness's fiefdom, which is the best way."

"The population of Shaanxi Buzheng is only 2.15 million, and people may not necessarily give it." Zhu Di shook his head, this suggestion was directly denied.

Without hundreds of thousands of people, Lan County cannot become the most important town in the northwest.

We have to find a way to immigrate.

It's getting dark.

Zhu Di rested in the post house, thinking hard about how to get the people for his fiefdom.

And at this time.

Yingtian, Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu slammed on the ground after reading a piece of music, and said angrily: "Fang Keqin, this old horseman, dares to be so bold. ”

"These literati know how to be lazy."

"No, this old horseman must be dealt with, and completely prevent such a thing as empty printing documents from happening again."

Queen Ma picked up the piece and put it on the case, and gently patted Lao Zhu's back, "This party is also a party to govern talents, under his tenure, the world has suffered from drought for a long time, but Jining has a bumper harvest." ”

Lao Zhu said hatefully: "Could it be that because he has made meritorious contributions, he can act recklessly and deceive his superiors and subordinates?" ”

"We shouldn't believe these literati, if they have crooked stomachs and crooked intestines, their hearts will be broken long ago."

"For the sake of the proper management of this old thing, at most we will not plant his nine clans, just destroy this old thing."

Queen Ma was shocked when she heard this, although she did not participate in the empty seal case, she was shocked when she heard it in the past few days, Lao Zhu had already killed a lot of local leaders, and if she continued like this, she would never dare to think about it.

Especially a state prefect like Fang Keqin, if he really wants to cut it down, it will really go wrong.

But looking at Lao Zhu's angry appearance, Queen Ma could only persuade around the bush to save one by one.

"Isn't this Fang Keqin's eldest son Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru apprenticed to Song Lian, outstanding in learning, proficient in governance, and a great Confucian, and now this Fang Xiaoru followed Lao Jiu to the fiefdom of Lan County."

"If the superior beheads Fang Xiaoru, then wouldn't this Fang Xiaoru have to give this party three years of filial piety."

"The concubine doesn't know how the upper position is arranged in Saibei, and why she urgently let Lao Jiu go to Lan County at this time, but since Lao Jiu is crowned king, the upper position will not cut off Lao Jiu's wings with his own hands."

Lao Zhu listened, pondered and thought, and said with a big stroke of his pen: "This party can be exempted from the death penalty, and the living crime is inevitable, so let's go to Jiangpu to serve in labor." ”

Queen Ma paused, and could only sigh in her heart.

This is no different from killing Fang Keqin, but she can't continue to talk and intercede, as long as the person is still alive.

"Your Majesty, there is the secret music of the King of the Blue City!" And as soon as this ended, there was a eunuch from the Gong Wei Division outside the palace to report.

"Bring it on!" Lao Zhu is also dedicated, and he continues to deal with the government without feeling tired at all.

Immediately, a vulture-like eunuch entered, and the eunuch knelt down and presented a sealed letter.

Then he silently waited for the inquiry.

That's a great character.

The Gongwei Division and the Yiluan Division were later changed to the pro-army Governor's Mansion, in charge of the emperor's reliance and guards.

But with Lao Zhu's distrust of officials, he created this department into a mysterious and terrifying brocade guard.

At this time, Gong Weisi has gradually acted as Lao Zhu's eyes.

After taking the secret music, Lao Zhu glanced at it, and handed the contents of the letter to Queen Ma with a frown.

Since Lao Zhu handed it over, it must be something she could see, Queen Ma immediately glanced at it, and frowned.

"Superior, what is this old nine going to do, give the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace to the Shen family?"
