Let Zhang Yifan put down his official business and go to his teaching, even if Zhu Yuanzhang knows that if Zhang Yifan can teach more talents, he is unwilling.

This is not to say that he does not need talents, but that it takes time to cultivate talents. And now, Zhang Yifan is still shining there, assisting his fourth son to achieve more brilliant achievements to suppress the founding generals.

At least Zhu Di wants to eliminate Nahachu in Liaodong, and that kind of prestige is enough to lay a solid foundation for the stability of Zhu Ming's country, and then let Yifan be busy with preaching and teaching!

However, Zhu Biao originally thought that there was no problem, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to solve it, and he couldn't leave it to Zhang Yifan.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said a little helplessly: "Then print a little more of Yifan's three booklets and send them out, hold an exam in a month, and send thirty people to Yifan according to their ranking!" ”

Zhu Biao listened, and had some doubts, so he asked: "But Yifan, I'm afraid that no one here can understand all the things in these three booklets, how to teach them?" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't want to think about it: "It's all taught by no one, it depends on their own talent, let's deal with it first!" ”

Zhu Biao still had questions, and asked again: "The people who take the exam must have some conditions, right?" For example, age, or is it fair to be grouped? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

That's a lot!

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "Yifan wants to help the fourth child to fight out his reputation, and now they are planning the war in Liaodong, and it is not yet time to really start a sect, so they will set a man between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, so it is convenient to go to various places with Yifan." ”

Zhu Biao listened, and it made sense to think about it, so he retreated.

As a result, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that three days later, Zhu Biao came again.

"Father, the eldest sister knows the most about the contents of these three booklets of Yifan, and many female dependents go to ask for advice, and then go back to teach them to their respective mansions. Now Erchen has received a lot of news here, saying why don't women participate, now women know more than men! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

Zhu Biao also added: "The eldest sister also said that when she was in Xiangshan County before, there were not enough men, and women went out to work. There are some jobs, women have an advantage over men, and at the beginning, it was to let both men and women have work to do, so that Xiangshan County was not short of manpower, and it developed rapidly! ”

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his opinion and said: "Erchen looked at Yifan's booklets, it should have nothing to do with being an official, if only men can scream for the exam, it seems that it is unreasonable." The eldest sister said that she could take a group of female students to the north, and she could also reunite with Yifan. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, and couldn't help but say: "This is her purpose, right?" I'm not asking them to be separated. It's just that her son is still young, so he's afraid of accidents! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao asked, "Father, how long will Yifan stay in Beiping?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it and said his thoughts: "Now the fourth is building new muskets and artillery, for this reason, a few days ago, I sent a group of skilled craftsmen from the War Bureau to the past, so that Beiping can make more new muskets and artillery." Then, with their existing strength, they will defeat Nahachu as soon as possible, and then Fan can return to Beijing. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "After I come back, I plan to make him the sect commander, focusing on cultivating your younger brothers who are still minors. As long as our Zhu family has more talents, then this country will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately asked: "Then in my father's opinion, how long will it take to defeat Nahachu?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "They are currently preparing for the battle of Haizhou Wei, and it is estimated that it will take at least half a year. After this battle, Naha will suffer a big loss, and he will inevitably panic and avoid fighting us. When the time comes, I will look at the specific situation in Liaodong and give them some guidance, as long as Naha is hit hard again, and then supplemented by a strategy to attack the heart, Liaodong can be determined. In this way, it will take at least a year and a half, and maybe even two or three years. ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he suggested: "Then let the eldest sister go north, and walk slowly on the road after the first birthday, it should be fine." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I will order the government to do all its best to receive them along the way, so as not to make their mother and son suffer!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was a little surprised.

He knew that his father was most annoying to the officials who disturbed the local people's livelihood. I think that at the beginning, Yan'an Marquis Tang Shengzong was just good at galloping, so he won the title and surrendered to command!

But now, my father is going to order a place to receive the eldest sister to go north! This treatment is really unexpected!

However, Zhu Biao thinks about it carefully, and it seems that he can understand. This is my own family, of course, I have to treat it differently from outsiders. Yifan's son is so young, and there can't be a little bump on the road! Take care of some, and take it for granted!

So, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang's latest instructions.

……………………

Beiping, Zhang Yifan's side, after hearing that he refused the reward of Danshu Iron Coupon, Zhu Di also came to him and wanted to do ideological work for him.

In this regard, Zhang Yifan replied directly: "Fourth brother, I didn't lie. In my eyes, to defeat the sages of Confucius and Mencius is my goal. Believe it or not, thousands of years later, the world will still remember me, but it may not remember you as a prince. Not even the prince, even the emperor is not as famous as me. You say, is it awesome? ”

Zhu Di: "......"

"Or do you think about it, in previous dynasties, how many emperors' names and life deeds do you remember? However, Confucius and Mencius always knew, right? ”

Zhu Di: "......"

"I have this self-confidence, I can be better than Kong Mengdu, I will do better than them, for the benefit of our children and grandchildren."

Zhu Di: "......"

Seeing that Zhang Yifan still wanted to continue talking, Zhu Di, who came back to his senses, hurriedly shook his hand and said: "You have to go, you have great ambitions, I won't persuade you, what's wrong with love!" ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said with anticipation: "Why don't you teach my son that knowledge of yours?" It's your own family, so it's all right, right? ”

Zhang Yifan: "......"

When he came back to his senses, he said speechlessly: "You must at least let your son be able to communicate, and there is someone who can be weaned, you come to me again!" ”

Zhu Di's eldest son is only three years old, and his youngest son is just one year old, can this be taught?

Zhu Di listened, laughed and said: "My son has been smart since he was a child!" ”

After the joke, Zhu Di took it seriously again, and said to Zhang Yifan: "Even if you have this idea, I admit that you are ambitious, but in fact, I don't delay your Danshu iron coupon!" ”

Zhang Yifan listened, but did not hide Zhu Di, and said truthfully: "I just want to take a shortcut!" You think, everyone wants Danshu iron coupons, right? I don't want it, is it going to attract the attention of others as much as possible, why not? They'll inquire, they'll be curious, right? ”

Seeing Zhu Di nodded, he continued: "In this way, as many people as possible will know that it turned out that Zhu wanted to start a sect and teach the Tao. You say, if I do this, will I become famous all of a sudden, and many people want to come and learn? ”

Zhu Di listened, nodded again and said, "I really can't see it, you have a lot of curves and curves!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he patted his chest and said: "I am cultivating talents for the Ming Dynasty, do you want to turn back my students?" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "If you want it, the student of the Great Sage of the Ages, of course you want it!" ”

After talking nonsense for a while, Zhang Yifan returned to his seriousness and said to Zhu Di: "I plan to raise pigs, you send a letter to your father-in-law and send a batch of cement." ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was speechless and said, "I heard it right, you want to raise pigs?" ”

Pigs are pigs, and the dignified horses raise pigs, which is a bit incredible!

Zhang Yifan saw that Zhu Di was so strange, so he said as a matter of course: "Of course, otherwise, how would the meat from the meat floss factory come from?" Lamb alone? Large-scale pig breeding is the key to solving the problem of our Ming people eating meat. It's just that I don't know if I can do it on a large scale, so let's try it first? ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became excited, if his soldiers had pig meat to eat every day, the combat effectiveness would definitely become very strong, and he immediately asked: "Is it the same as raising sheep, herding pigs?" ”

"It's not!" Zhang Yifan listened, shook his head and said, "It's still in captivity, and if you want to repair the pig house, you want me to try it." ”

In the early Ming Dynasty, large-scale breeding was to be carried out, and there may be less swine flu and the like, but the breed of pigs, feed sources, etc., are also headaches, so they can only be done step by step to try.

When Zhu Di heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, so he immediately sent someone to Xu Da to move some cement to Tianjin.

Generally speaking, the division of labor among several people is still the same.

The work of accumulating troops on Juehua Island is also making gradual progress. Lan Yu is indeed a talent, and while dispatching cavalry and Naha's Tatars to deal around, he quietly transforms Juehua Island.

On Zhu Di's side, 50,000 troops have already been selected, including nearly 10,000 cavalry troops and 40,000 infantry troops.

Not to mention, at the beginning, even if this was an elite army with strict military discipline, it would cause chaos when getting on and off the ship. Especially the cavalry, those horses caused a lot of riots.

After a month of training, I can barely get on and off the boat without making trouble. After getting off the ship, the assembly according to the formation was also much faster.

Some soldiers are seasick, and if there is no improvement after taking measures, they will be replaced.

In the middle of April of the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the 50,000 elites selected quietly entered Juehua Island.

On Zhang Yifan's side, the pig farm has also been built. Probably built according to the model of the later generations of farms he has seen, the main one, or pay attention to the isolation between the pig herds, hygiene, etc., more he doesn't know, can only rely on groping.

Waste from pig farms, including manure and the like, is also utilized, so it is almost a farm-based model with the initial form of a circular economy.

As for the hired workers, they are some old people and women who have more experience in raising pigs, and of course, some middle-aged laborers.

Tianjin, in fact, was not called Tianjin during the Hongwu period, but Haijin Town, which was the transshipment center for transporting grain during the Yuan Dynasty. However, after the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, this place has long been dilapidated.

Although it has been the fourteenth year of Hongwu, because the north is the front line, Haijin Town has not resumed the war before.

However, with the 50,000 troops stationed here, and then Zhang Yifan set up factories here, fish floss factories, meat floss factories, breeding farms, farms, etc., Haijin Town has become visible to the naked eye.

Perhaps based on the achievements of the big horse in Xiangshan County, many northern businessmen, as well as others, came to Haijin Town to look for opportunities.

The political envoy from Beiping had to visit Zhang Yifan to ask for his opinion to see if he wanted to ask the emperor to set up a county here.

It's just that I'm not sure that the 50,000 army has left, and the big horses don't know how long they will stay here. If the big colt stays all the time, then they must have confidence.

In this regard, Zhang Yifan gave a positive answer, saying that even if he leaves, as long as he pays attention to the construction of the port, Haijin Town will inevitably prosper. In the end, at the request of the political envoy, he jointly signed a concert to talk about the establishment of a county in Haijin Town.

During this time, Zhang Yifan also knew about the affairs in Nanjing. I knew that my daughter-in-law and son would go north, and I would bring a group of male and female students with me at that time.

This made him very happy, but he was also a little worried, afraid that his son would be too young and the northern climate would not be suitable.

For this reason, he rushed to Beiping again, built a house on the edge of Yanwang's mansion, and decided not to send people under the fence anymore and live in Yanwangfu. In any case, building a house here can be regarded as fulfilling a dream of having no house in Beiping in later generations.

Unexpectedly, the house was still digging the foundation, so Zhu Di came to him and dragged him to talk about things.

I only heard Zhu Di say to Zhang Yifan with some excitement: "After the craftsmen sent by my father joined in the creation of new muskets and artillery, we already have a thousand new muskets and thirty rapid-fire cannons of different sizes. By the way, my father gave the rapid-fire cannon the name God Speed Cannon. My father-in-law thought it was time to fight! ”

The firearms unit has always been on the Beiping side, and it will accept and train as many muskets and artillery as it builds.

The idea of building guns on an assembly line is still only theoretical. The parts are not yet perfect, so the production is not large.

When Zhang Yifan heard Zhu Di's words, he confirmed: "Could it be that you told your father-in-law, you were in a hurry to start a war, so your father-in-law agreed after weighing it?" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately distinguished: "You don't know, Tartars are very arrogant in Liaodong, even more arrogant than last year. Several supplies sent to Liaodong were robbed by them. If you don't teach them a hard lesson, heaven will not tolerate it! ”

As soon as he heard his explanation, Zhang Yifan knew that he had not guessed wrong, it was Zhu Di who first proposed the intention of fighting.

However, since Xu Da agreed, he must have weighed it. And Zhang Yifan himself really doesn't have the ability to decide on the military, or Xu Da has the final say.

Therefore, he has no opinion either.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di made a request.
