The situation in Houjin is bad, some people are depressed, some people are depressed, some people are angry, and some people are thinking hard about how to break the situation.

For example, Huang Taiji, who has never been violently beaten, still thinks about learning from Fan Han traitors, the idea of fighting Jinzhou, or waiting for the Ming army to advance in repairing the city, to have a quick mobile strike.

And the Daming Jingshi, who is thousands of miles away, the palace is in the palace, and the Supreme Zhu Youxiao of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is not idle, and is reading a "Daming Forum" newspaper.

Originally, this was not unusual, but it was indeed very wonderful, Zhu Youxiao was holding a fake newspaper and looked at it with a smile on his face.

A fake newspaper is a fake newspaper, but it is not a tampering and stealing name, but Zhu You's school order to make it. Readers, no one would have thought that it was specially prepared for Jiannu.

Zhu Youxiao felt that it was very good, so he casually handed the newspaper to the palace people and handed it to Luo Sigong.

Luo Sigong took the newspaper and looked at it a few times, and his eyes widened. When is this news, he, the head of the brocade guard, doesn't even know?

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lao Luo's surprised appearance, and said: "Luo Qing doesn't have to take it seriously, it's fake news, it's for Jiannu to see." ”

Luo Sigong blinked his eyes and finally understood.

His son Luo Yangxing was staring at the Fan family in Shanxi, and the information passed back was mentioned, and the "Daming Forum" was a source of information for Jiannu.

The emperor compiled a fake newspaper and sent it to Jiannu through Fan Dafu, the housekeeper of the Fan family who had been subdued, to make Jiannu make a wrong judgment!

"There are two or three issues of leave in the ten issues, and one newspaper is not all fake, there are one or two articles, Jiannu shouldn't be aware of it, right?" Zhu Youxiao touched his chin, a little proud, and said with a sly smile: "Don't make big news first, and lead Jiannu away little by little." ”

Luo Sigong was convinced, this trick can be thought of, it is really imperceptible.

For example, in the newspaper in hand, one of the reports said that the imperial court intended to mobilize the elite of the nine sides and gather 100,000 horses to go to Liao to participate in the war, and strive to completely eliminate Jiannu this year and complete the plan of Pingliao.

This is definitely a big event that makes Jiannu feel heavy pressure and will be fully prepared for it.

And in the current situation of Houjin, the 100,000 reinforcements of the Ming army can enter Liaodong in three ways. The land route in western Liaoning, the sea route of Luda in southern Liaoning and Phi Island in eastern Liaoning, is simply an offensive like Mount Tai!

Jiannu will definitely have suspicions, and the elite of the nine sides will be almost exhausted, and the Ming Dynasty will not guard against the Mongolian tribes? However, such suspicions did not affect Jiannu's preparation and precautions.

There is a tradition for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give orders and command indiscriminately, so what's the big deal about going crazy once in a while? And concentrating on destroying a strong enemy first, and then turning back to clean up the mess, there is also such a strategic way of playing in history.

"Long live the wisdom is extraordinary, and Dongyu will inevitably be hit." Luo Si bowed his hand respectfully, expressing his sincere admiration, at least this trick was something he couldn't have imagined.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand reservedly and said, "How to do it seamlessly, it still needs to be carefully planned. In addition, it is not necessary to obtain it through only one channel. ”

"Wechen understands." Luo Sigong felt that his thinking had also broadened, and he bowed down and replied: "I will plan and arrange it when I go back, and I will definitely complete the far-sighted plan of Long Live." ”

Zhu Youxiao praised the head of the school, and asked some other things before letting Lao Luo retreat.

Hehe, it's just a few newspapers, and the cost is so small, even if it doesn't work, it's not a loss.

Zhu Youxiao touched his chin, still immersed in his own creativity. Even if it's a prank, scaring Jiannu, it's full of fun and happiness.

As the saying goes, when heaven and earth come together, heroes are not free.

Zhu Youxiao felt that after his own efforts and shameless tossing, his fortune had shifted to Daming's side, and he would no longer be as unlucky as in history.

Not to mention that the old slave and the imperial slave are not heroes, even if they are barely lifted up, in the hands of the wise and martial Emperor of the Apocalypse, they still can't turn over.

As soon as he thought of Jiannu flipping through fake newspapers, watching fake news, and pondering countermeasures, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but want to laugh, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Long live Qiyu, the imperial doctor Yang Hanyi is waiting to see you outside." The palace people entered the palace to make a statement, interrupting the emperor's lustful pleasure.

Zhu Youxiao sat up straight and posed as an emperor before letting the palace people enter the palace.

The female doctor Yang Hanyi knelt down to meet her in the hall, and there was a little girl behind her, or a medicine boy, who was also polite.

"Excuse me, flat." Zhu Youxiao paused, waved his hand and ordered the palace people to move to the embroidery pier, and gave him the grace of giving the seat.

The health of several daughters-in-law was handed over to Yang Hanyi, and Zhu Youxiao still tried his best to be polite to her. Moreover, he does not have too many feudal ideas of male superiority and inferiority.

"Long live Long En of Wechen Xie." Yang Hanyi saluted again before sitting down, and the medicine boy blinked his eyes and stood behind her.

This little medicine boy is full of fun, Zhu Youxiao has seen it two or three times, and he is very impressed by the little girl's poker face. It's not ugly, but it's like you don't know what joy, anger, sorrow is.

The name is also interesting, called Tao Yan, or Tao Yan'er. With that expressionless little face, I don't know what she "hates" or "hates" everything.

asked about the physical condition of several concubines, especially Zhang Yuer, and Zhu Youxiao was even more concerned.

Yang Hanyi replied respectfully one by one, which made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the body, it is God's will whether you can conceive or not. You're still young, so you don't have to worry about it.

Zhu Youxiao ordered the palace people to bring a few medical books, all of which were in the royal collection, and the people also had them, but they were difficult to see.

Learning from others, taking its essence and removing its dross, no matter which industry progresses, it is the same truth.

Yang Hanyi saw that he had made a rash request, and the emperor agreed so happily and did it, and knelt down in surprise and thanked him again.

"No need to be polite." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said warmly: "Medical skills can grow, and being able to do a good job in female medicine is the most gratifying thing for me." ”

"Yes, Weichen will live up to the expectations of Long Live Forever." Yang Hanyi still finished the salute before getting up and sitting down.

Zhu Youxiao felt that there was nothing wrong, and was about to order him to retire, Li Chengcheng hurriedly walked in, stopped at the entrance of the hall and looked at the emperor anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao didn't blame, anyway, this is not an official summons of courtiers, although Li Chengcheng is a little rude, but he has heard her reason.

"Emperor Qi." Li Chengcheng bowed his head and hurriedly played: "Xiaobai is going to give birth!" ”

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, he was really not familiar with the habits of cats. Besides, this is not his profession, let alone giving birth to kittens, even giving birth to a little person can't help much!

Yang Hanyi really didn't know that Xiaobai was a cat, and when he saw the emperor frowning, he hurriedly got up and played: "Long live, let Weichen go and take a look!" ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Hanyi and thought for a while, then said, "Then it's hard Yang Qing." ”

Yang Hanyi gave another salute, and then went to the warm pavilion with Li Chengcheng with "hate".

Cats should be able to take care of themselves, I haven't heard of the cat world to deliver cats!

Although Zhu Youxiao was a little worried, he didn't go to join in the fun, and took the question book to read it.

Last year, the pilot planting of sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang can be said to have been a success. What's more, under the guidance of Xu Guangqi and others, a group of farmers who have mastered planting techniques have been trained.

Although most of these peasants were illiterate, they still received the money and went to the northern provinces to become experts.

This year, it will be planted on a larger scale, and next year, the year after tomorrow, and the year after tomorrow, Zhu Youxiao calculates that God should give him at least three more years. With the yield of sweet potatoes, the amount that can be stored is still very large.

Although it cannot solve the problem fundamentally, it can alleviate a little. Planting high-yielding crops ahead of time and widely is certainly the right thing to do.

The point is that Zhu Youxiao does not know very much about the climate change during the Xiaoice River and how much impact it has on Daming. He can only analyze and estimate based on some information from his previous life.

For example, Sun Chuanting's Qingtun is paid, since he can train the "Shaanxi soldiers", he can also accumulate a lot of money and grain. It can be seen that even the hardest-hit area of Shaanxi is not a disaster every year, and there is no harvest.

After further analysis, Zhu Youxiao came up with a less accurate answer. The so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, should be greater than natural disasters, right?

Although the Xiaoice period did have a great impact, several northern provinces were affected one after another, and disasters such as locusts, floods, and droughts and floods occurred in turn for decades.

But the main reason for the common people to rise up and the war to rise is the increase in the imperial court.

Although Zhu Youxiao was not very sure, he also began to pay attention and tried to make sure that he would not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Of course, he also had other methods, such as buying grain from overseas, immigrating to Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan, and even expanding to the South Seas to fight for the living space of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

There are always more solutions than difficulties, and problems that can be solved with money are not real problems.

Zhu Youxiao finished approving the question book of Zuo Guangdou, the governor of Ganshan, and exhaled a long sigh of emotion.

In fact, from last year to now, many localities have reported being affected. Although the area is small and the disaster is not too serious, Zhu Youxiao treats it seriously. The relief is the relief, and it is never delayed.

In his view, this is an exercise in dealing with a larger-scale disaster. If this is not managed, it is easy to imagine how bad the situation will be when the peak of the disaster arrives in a few years.

Looking up at the door, Li Chengcheng had not yet come back to report, Zhu Youxiao hesitated, but still did not act rashly.

Whether it is good news or good news, if there is one, Li Chengcheng will definitely come to inform him and let him rest assured.

The current situation can only show that there is no result. It's the same if you go by yourself, you can't help and add to the chaos.

Zhu Youxiao forced himself to calm down, took a book with special markings, and read it somewhat casually.

This is a letter from the Chamber of Commerce, although the emperor gave the right, but the Chamber of Commerce did not dare to use it easily, for fear of annoying the emperor with more books.

Zhu Youxiao saw that it was from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he looked at it, his expression became solemn.

Reforming the salt law is an idea that Zhu Youxiao has already generated, but he has not yet perfected the plan for how to change it. But there is one point, the cost of dried salt is lower than boiled salt, and the quantity is large, and it is certain that boiled salt will eventually be eliminated.

Lianghuai is mainly boiled salt, and the salt price is very high, which is called cooked salt; Guangdong mainly uses dried salt, called raw salt, and the price is about twice as low as Huai salt.

And this is also one of the main reasons why Huai salt should be sold in different areas, the competition is not raw salt, and if the sales scope is not specified, it is likely to be crushed by Guang salt.

Zhu Youxiao also realized this, so he sent Dong Yingju to manage and expand the Changlu Salt Factory, and sent another cadre to Rizhao, Shandong Province to open a factory to dry salt.

These two measures were to replace the preparatory work made by Huaiyan, the hereditary occupation and class division of salt households, and Zhu Youxiao was also preparing to change to civilian nationality.

Increasing the yield of raw salt, eventually replacing cooked salt, and then producing refined salt, is already the development route planned by Zhu Youxiao.

And the disadvantages of the outline law also made Zhu Youxiao think that the salt law also needs to be reformed. But he hasn't fully figured out how to change it.

Tang Mo, president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, forwarded the notes in the middle of the summer, but it brought Zhu Youxiao a breakthrough in thinking.

In the middle of the summer, he put forward his innovative thinking on the salt method in the above book, and in general, it was to change the "outline salt system" to the "ticket salt system".

According to the "ticket salt system" in the middle of summer, the salt quotation was abolished, and the hereditary monopoly of salt merchants was broken, and the line ticket was used instead.

To put it bluntly, whether you are a salt merchant or not, if you want to do a salt business, you can go to the salt factory to buy salt, and you can get a ticket to transport salt after paying the salt class.

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes and thought about the possibility of the implementation of the "Ticket Salt Law", as well as the imperfections in it.

In his opinion, what he likes most about the Ticket Salt Law is that it abolishes the monopoly of salt introduction and business introduction on salt introduction, thus basically putting an end to the exploitation of officials at all levels.

At the same time, the implementation of the "ticket salt law" can also suppress the price of salt and benefit the people, but it does not reduce the revenue of the imperial court's salt tax, and in turn can increase the national tax revenue.

The procedures for selling salt and transporting salt have been simplified, and the scope of salt merchants' business has been relaxed. No matter how much capital you have, you can run it according to your capacity and go for your own convenience.

After paying the salt tax, you can buy salt from the salt factory and sell it, without specifying the scope of your sales, and regardless of whether you are qualified to sell salt in the first place.

Good, good. Zhu Youxiao figured out the key and couldn't help but praise it.

There are no more salt merchants who monopolize salt and make huge profits, and everyone can buy salt to operate, so naturally there is no possibility for them to arbitrarily lower the buying price and raise the selling price to obtain huge profits......

"Emperor, Emperor." Li Chengcheng ran in sweaty, his face flushed with excitement, and reported to Zhu Youxiao: "Xiaobai gave birth to six, six cute kittens." ”

Oh, Zhu Youxiao was not annoyed by being interrupted, but he was happy and excited about Xiaobai's peace and giving birth to six little cats.

That's good, six cubs in one litter.

Zhu Youxiao stood up with a smile and walked towards the outside of the hall.

When he saw the six cute little milk cats with bloody faces, closing their eyes and arching in their mother's arms, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily and heartily.

The corner of his eyes swept over, and Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.

The "nasty" look of the poker face had loosened, and his eyes flashed with envy and love, staring at the kittens without blinking.
