"Now that Mr. Qin's high-yield hybrid rice has not been researched, then we can only obtain grain from places where grain is abundant overseas to stabilize the grain price of Daming." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Now the silk industry and the perfume industry in Daming have made a lot of money."

"Fully capable of buying food from overseas."

"And then hoard."

Raising his eyes to look at the ministers, he asked, "How much grain does my Daming Taicang have at present?" ”

"There are 500,000 stones!" Dasi Nong replied.

"So little?" Hearing that there was less food in stock, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not steady. He used to be hungry, so he attached great importance to the storage of food, but after five years, the stock was still insufficient.

"Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty has been open for five years and the time has improved, natural disasters in various places continue year after year." "And the yield of rice, wheat, millet and other grains in all parts of the country is low, and it is completely inferior to potatoes. ”

"However, the minister believes that when the potatoes are harvested in the coming year, Taicang's grain stock will increase."

"Buy food in large quantities from overseas and save it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Food is the foundation of everything. ”

"Obey the order!" Dasi Nong Road.

"In the final analysis, there are too few places where I can produce food in Daming." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Only Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places are rich in rice." ”

"Isn't the eastern part of Liaodong a vast territory with vast plains, why isn't such a good place rich in grain?"

"Your Majesty, the Liaodong region is too cold for the growth of rice." Yang Xian said, "And the area is sparsely populated, and the people basically rely on hunting for a living, not farming. ”

"There are a lot of wild mushrooms, silly roe deer, and fish in eastern Liaodong, and it is enough for fewer people to eat these things."

"Can't let Liaodong be wasted!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Intensify efforts to develop the Liaodong region, and if there are no crops suitable for the production of Liaodong, let the farmers among the hundreds of sons cultivate them." ”

"As for the problem of sparse population, put the densely populated places in the Central Plains, like Liaodong immigrants."

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains region has a suitable climate and a rich life, who wants to go to a bitter cold place like Liaodong?" Li Shan said.

"Exile those who are traitors and criminals to reclaim the wasteland." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In addition, didn't the Ming Dynasty have no war for the time being, let Ding Dexin lead 500,000 soldiers to Liaodong Tuntian and open up wasteland." ”

"If you are willing to pass, give them preferential treatment."

"In addition, the province of Goryeo, the Kingdom of Fuso, is not our territory at the moment? The young women of Goryeo and Fusang were migrated to Liaodong to help the soldiers who reclaimed the wasteland, and encouraged them to marry and have children. ”

"Then move the people of the Central Plains to Goryeo and Fusang God's Kingdom."

"Let the people in these places not distinguish each other."

"Yes!"

"In addition, we must vigorously encourage the people to have children, there are only 20,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, which is still too few." Zhu Yuanzhang also said, "The population has more children, and when the time comes, they can also migrate to Liaodong." ”

"Your Majesty, there is no need to encourage childbirth, the people of the Ming Dynasty are the most fond of childbirth. Because of the concept of family, the concept of four generations in the same house, deeply rooted in the hearts of every common people. Wang Guangyang said, "As long as their lives are passable, they will actively give birth." ”

"I don't know if the emperor found out, it only took five years for the people of the Ming Dynasty to grow from 30 million to 200 million."

"Of course, all this is due to the emperor's policy of benefiting the people."

"Let the people dare to give birth, and they can afford to give birth."

"At present, every family in the Ming Dynasty basically has five or six children. If it weren't for too many premature deaths, there would have been more children. ”

"Let the doctors of the Jixia School Palace increase their efforts to cultivate some Qihuang holy hands, and then go deep into the people to reduce the premature death rate." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "My Ming Dynasty was originally based on Taoism, and the Yellow Emperor's Neijing was originally the basic work of Huang Lao's learning. ”

"Let every private school open a course on the Yellow Emperor's internal classics."

"Yes." Liu Bowen said, "After the minister returned to the Jixia School Palace, he immediately urged the farmers and doctors to handle this matter. However, now the private schools of the Ming Dynasty have been learning the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" since childhood. ”

"That's a good thing!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't worry that there are too many people who learn the Yellow Emperor's internal scriptures, and there will not be enough patients in the future." ”

"The so-called learning is endless, and the knowledge recorded in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" is not only to cure diseases and save people, but also to maintain health. The whole country learns the Yellow Emperor's internal classics, and the life expectancy of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly improved. ”

"At present, there are very few elderly people in my Daming, and four or five-year-old children with drooping hair account for the vast majority of the population." Tobe Shangshu Ru Taisu Road.

"Great!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said, "There are more children in the country, and the hope of the Ming Dynasty is greater." ”

"My Ming Dynasty is really a vigorous dynasty!"

"Mr. Qin said that children are the flowers of the imperial court. When these children grow up and bloom flowers, I will definitely bloom with a hundred flowers, a thriving flower, and attract bees and butterflies. ”

"The entire Ming Dynasty is full of future and hope."

"And not those dying and aging dynasties."

"Listening to what the emperor said, the Ming Dynasty really has a bright future." When the ministers heard this, they said one after another. If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder, they would never have paid attention to the problem of aging and youth.

……

"It's not enough to reclaim Liaodong alone." After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Because it will take at least ten years to achieve results in the reclamation of wasteland." ”

"Your Majesty, it takes too much time to reclaim wasteland, and far water can't quench your thirst." Yang Xiandao.

"Moreover, it is too expensive to buy food from overseas." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"The emperor is wise." Yang Xian began to sing Shuanghuang with Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "My Ming Dynasty has just cleaned up Confucianism, and it takes money to rebuild, money to build the country with Taoism, and money to send money to the people......"

"Encourage farmers to study crops suitable for Liaodong need money, and popularize the ...... that all people need to study the Yellow Emperor's Neijing"

"In so many places that need money, the little silver in the Daming treasury is obviously not enough."

"At present, the main source of revenue for the Ming treasury is the domestic commercial tax, and the tax from overseas trade, the export of silk, porcelain, and perfume overseas, as well as the gold and silver shipped back from the Fuso Divine Kingdom."

"If you spend a lot of money to buy food overseas, the treasury may not be able to make ends meet."

"What should I do in that case?"

"Tell me what should I do?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers with an inquiring gaze.

"Your Majesty, it is better to buy grain from overseas places than to occupy those places where grain is abundant. By our Ming Dynasty, unified deployment. Li Shanchang also saw that the emperor wanted to fight again, so he pushed the boat along the river.
