For the sake of Daming's industry and the revitalization of Daming's national situation, Zhu Youxiao had to do evil things that green environmental protection organizations hated.

But it cannot be denied that whaling is a lucrative industry. Compared to the value and wide range of uses of whale oil, edible whale meat is nothing.

Yingzi was a little moved, but when she thought of her old father, she hesitated and shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid my father won't go." ”

Zhang Zhuzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to wave his hand generously, and said, "It's okay not to go." If you want to talk about the environment, it's better on our island. Ocean Island is small, the wind and waves are big, and it is not even safe to sleep. ”

Yingzi nodded with a smile and said, "Even if you don't go, you have to thank Brother Zhang." Such an errand should make people break their heads, right? ”

Zhang Zhuzi laughed twice and said, "Then I'll go and ask others, I'm in a hurry over there!" ”

Yingzi turned sideways and got out of the way, and when Zhang Zhuzi walked over, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brother Zhang, when I set up the iron stove at home, I have to trouble you to help!" ”

Zhang Zhuzi didn't reply, he raised his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you when the time comes." ”

Looking at the bumpy figure gradually moving away, Yingzi shook the long rod in his hand, and suddenly shook the goose with the rag strip tied to the end of the pole, and scolded with a smile: "What are you looking at, stupid goose, why are you so stupid?" ”

………………….

What are you looking at, stupid little white, you don't even know corn?!

Zhu Youxiao picked up two and put them in front of Xiaobai. The cats sniffed it and really ate it.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Youxiao was wondering if cats could eat corn, but he didn't find relevant knowledge in his memory.

"The Emperor." Li Chengcheng said cautiously beside him: "The slave maid saw that the white lady was still eating grass!" ”

Graze? Zhu Youxiao didn't know why, so he thought it was okay to match meat and vegetables. Animals may know what they lack and will look for it from nature.

Picked up the knife, cut a small slice of corn, and handed it to Li Chengcheng. Zhu Youxiao motioned to the girl to take the cat aside to feed, and he picked up the question book and began to deal with official business.

Corn seems to have been introduced to China earlier than sweet potatoes, but the name is "Yumai" or "Sweet Wheat". It wasn't until Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration" came out that it had the name "corn".

According to the reports of various places, corn has been planted in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places, about more than ten provinces.

But it was only planted, and it was not widely promoted. The reason is not the technology, but the fact that corn does not have too much advantage over traditional crops in the plains.

Mountains, barren lands, hardiness, and the reclamation of mountainous areas due to population growth and land annexation are the reasons why corn is eventually cultivated on a large scale.

Obviously, with sweet potatoes and pumpkins, the widespread promotion of corn is not a very urgent matter. Although Zhu Youxiao is pinching his fingers, there are still five or six years before the outbreak of the Xiaoice River period.

This is also the reason why he wants to strive for five years of peace, and when natural disasters break out, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to fight with Jiannu.

From the current point of view, the science and technology tree does not need to climb too high and too fast, and the five-year Pingliao plan has already had a good start.

This also strengthened Zhu Youxiao's determination to continue to be in peace. As long as there are no major internal problems, and the front line can be firmly anchored and tightly sealed, Jiannu will definitely have no chance to take advantage of it.

Although this year's reform and rectification is still a short period of time, it has already yielded results.

In particular, the clearing of the tun and the opening of the sea ban have basically solved the problem of the salaries and rations of the officers and men in the border towns and the problems of funds for strengthening the equipment of the naval divisions.

Therefore, although the inner treasury does not have much income, or even decreases, the treasury is still not rich. However, the money saved and spent made the Ming Dynasty's military strength greatly improved.

Zhu Youxiao watched the performance of Yang Lian, the governor of Shanxi, pondered for a moment, and wrote instructions.

Although Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are members of the Donglin Party, they are still very different from officials who are blind and incompetent, and even corrupt.

Zuoguang Doutong water conservancy, which has made a great contribution to the water conservancy tuntian of Kifu; Yang Lian started as a local official and once ranked first among honest officials in the country; Both of them are capable of practical work and are honest and honest.

With such an official, you can't let him be a spokesperson, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't really need a counselor like Wei Zheng. However, putting them in the local area to do practical work is the right choice in terms of effect.

In Qingtun, Shanxi, Yang Lian did a good job. I'm not even afraid of death, but I'm afraid of offending people?

But if Shanxi wants to develop, it is not easy, and Zhu Youxiao does not have many methods. Mineral resources are abundant, but the current technical conditions cannot be exploited and utilized on a large scale.

Of course, Yang Lian did not raise the issue of economic development, or the traditional feudal society's governance method.

After Zhu Youxiao's instructions were completed, he did not tell Yang Lian about his plan to crack down on certain Jin merchants.

Tradition is tradition, the people can eat and not make trouble, Yang Lian is also qualified, and he doesn't need to do anything else.

picked up another question book, but it was Guizhou Governor Fu Zonglong who played a plea.

Obviously, the Ming army adopted the strategy of defending Tuntian, blockading and besieging it, and attacking with defense, which made An Bangyan feel fear and pressure.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army of the Quartet had not yet completed its military deployment, An Bangyan led the rebels to suddenly cross the Yachi River and launch an attack, wanting to break the encirclement of the Ming army.

The general soldier Lu Qin was trapped in the lonely city, and led his troops to resist with all his might, with the help of muskets and thunderbolts, inflicting a large number of casualties on the rebels.

The rebels could not overcome the siege, which gave the Ming army the opportunity to mobilize and counterattack.

Fu Zonglong sent Zhou Hongtu and Hu Congyi to lead the army to capture Shaheba first, and then connected to Guangshun, Dingfan (Huishui), Qingyan, Baina and other places. Then he personally supervised the battle and killed Lao Worm Tian, an important leader of the Anjun army, in Zhaoguantun.

Seeing that he was about to be attacked by the Ming army, An Bangyan had to retreat in a hurry. As for the Yachi River defense line, the Ming army lost and gained.

This should be regarded as a defeat and then a victory, Zhu Youxiao made a judgment with a deep groan. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a great victory to block Anbangyan again and cause a lot of losses to the rebels.

The deployment of the Ming army has not yet been finalized, and it is understandable that the rebels broke through the defensive line.

The important thing is that Anbangyan is scared and impatient, what does this mean? It shows that the strategy of taking defense as offense, blockade and siege, and steady progress is correct.

If the enemy is worried and afraid, then it must be carried out; If the enemy wants it, then it must not be done.

Zhu Youxiao is not a military wizard, but he can psychologically analyze, know how to empathize, and know the general trend of history.

Therefore, he can draw relatively correct conclusions, take a long-term view, and not change his original intention by winning or losing once or twice.

Writing instructions, Zhu You proofread Fu Zonglong is encouragement and praise. Let him continue to hoard his strategy and not waver. At the same time, he will also reward Ruchin for his unyielding achievements.

As soon as he put down the question book, the palace people entered the report inside, and Sun Yuanhua came to see him.

Could it be a coinage thing? Zhu Youxiao guessed that Xuansun Yuanhua entered the hall.

Sun Yuanhua saluted, presented the sample, the smug look on his face flashed, and pretended to be reserved, bowing down and waiting for the instructions of Long live.
