The climate in Yunnan is very good, basically all kinds of plants can grow, and it can be said to be a paradise for those seeds that come from afar.

Zhu Zhanyan quickly had those seeds planted, and selected some trustworthy people to take care of and take care of them, which took him a long time.

Qian Yong and the others failed to bring back all the seeds that Zhu Zhanyan wanted, firstly, it was too time-consuming, and secondly, with the decrease in the number of people, they also lost a lot on the way.

In the end, Qian Yong only brought back a few seeds that Zhu Zhanyan emphasized.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and rubber tree seeds.

If it weren't for a few left in the corner, Zhu Zhanyan wanted the most, but felt that the most useless pepper seeds would be thrown away.

Because it was not easy to come by, Zhu Zhanyan had to emphasize the precautions for each seed several times.

Then, Zhu Zhanyan left home again, took a boat by himself, and headed towards Wajima.

It's just that in the less than a month since he came back, whether it was Yunnan, Beijing, or the grassland, the reaction was great.

First of all, there is Jingzhong.

Zhu Zhan Yan was escorted to the palace to hand over the business, and Zhu Di was very ceremoniously received at the Danqi in front of the Fengtian Palace, which made many people have ideas in their hearts.

The vast majority of people feel that although the first line of the king of Han has gone to the domain, he is still very valued by the emperor, and he has also given the first line of the king of Han unprecedented preferential treatment.

Autonomy, which was not experienced by the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.

The preferential treatment received by King Han, coupled with Zhu Zhanyan's rise to fame again, made everyone's hearts have completely different thoughts and actions from the beginning.

It's just that the movement is still relatively small.

The second is the grassland.

Before Zhu Gaosui led the army to the Northern Expedition, Zhang Fu went on the expedition and went around a big circle on the grassland, but he didn't even touch the buttocks of other people's horses.

Although Zhang Fu gave Zhu Gaosui a lot of suggestions, Zhu Gaosui at that time was full of catching up with and surpassing his second brother's family, and felt that listening to Zhang Fu's suggestions could not effectively change his disadvantages.

Therefore, in the end, the 200,000 Ming troops returned in vain, and they also consumed a lot of grain and grass.

Since then, the grassland has swelled a little, although it has been divided a lot because of Zhu Zhan's entry into Beijing, but with Zhu Zhan's return to Yunnan, Warat began to jump again.

It's not that they rub the tiger's beard, it's just because the Ming Dynasty has not made good use of the old Tatar land, which now belongs to the grasslands of the Ming Dynasty, so they dare to steal some oil on the edge of the oil tank to eat.

Previously, it had been suggested that people should be stationed in the grassland, after all, it was a waste to give up the huge grassland, but this proposal was quickly rejected.

There are two reasons, the first is that the cost of investment is too high.

That is outside the Great Wall, if Warat raids, it is basically impossible to provide effective support, because the border army cannot always prepare for war, so the price that the Ming needs to spend is too great.

In contrast, the Hetao, a horse breeding land, was able to supply enough war horses for the Ming Dynasty, and the pastures of the old Tatar land were a bit chicken.

Second, it is difficult to maintain.

Everyone knows what Warat thinks, even ordinary people can see it, and although the elite class of Wuliang Ha Sanwei has been removed, it is difficult to say whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net.

Besides, for a tribe with a criminal record, it is difficult for Da Ming to trust them in a short period of time.

To sum it up, if you want that grassland, the garrison is the best way, because there is no trustworthy person on the grassland, and the garrison will make Daming spit out a mouthful of blood.

In the Yongle Dynasty, natural disasters and people changed very frequently, coupled with the three major events of moving the capital, compiling the Yongle Ceremony and going to the West, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't stand it.

That's why Warat dared to be unscrupulous.

Finally, there are a few countries on the edge of Cochin.

As soon as Zhu Zhanyan came back, their hearts that were originally ready to move suddenly flew away like frightened birds, leaving only well-behaved.

This made Mu Sheng couldn't help but sigh when he sent Zhu Zhanyan away in Shenglong City: This Jiaozhi, only the prince of the Han Dynasty can suppress it, and the others, even if they change the current emperor, will not be able to.

At that time, Zhu Zhanyan replied very casually, but Mu Sheng was quite touched.

Fanbang barbarian, afraid of power but not virtuous, singing and dancing to promote the Ming Dynasty will only make them eye, so that they want to tear off a piece of meat on the body of the Ming from time to time, only when they hurt them, they know to be obedient.

At that time, Zhu Zhanyan instructed Mu Sheng that in his absence, if Siam and other countries dared to jump, then there was no need to take care of it, just take action, and he would clean up the mess!

But after all, Mu Sheng also agreed, but reality and ideas are completely different things.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Ming Dynasty can no longer find a person who can be half as strong as Zhu Zhanyan.

You see Li Bin and Tan Zhong, who followed Zhu Zhan to conquer Wadao, whether it was killing prisoners or slaughtering the city, but if you want them to lead their own troops and do so, it is purely a dream.

Except for Zhu Zhanyan, no one is willing to bet on his name.

——

Wajima, Iwami.

It seems that Zhu Zhanyan just went to Yingtian and returned home, but time slipped away quietly for two months in this simple trip.

This is the gap between the times, and the speed of traffic is really not comparable to that of later generations.

Returning to Iwami, Zhu Zhanyan had a feeling of being in a different world.

It's not that he is moaning without illness, nor is he hypocritical, but he really feels this way.

At the time of Zhu Zhan's departure, Iwami's land could be said to be red at intervals, as the Ming army did not leave any officials, nobles, and samurai of the Wa Kingdom along the way.

Although no civilians were injured, the number was significant.

And now that he is back in Ishami, Zhu Zhanyan did not feel the bloody and depressing atmosphere when he left, but instead was full of energy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan really felt funny.

Is he good to these Japanese people? Good!

No taxes are collected, and the grain is paid for mining, not to mention the Wa Kingdom, even the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have this treatment.

But is it really as simple as it seems?

Let's just say a number: in the two months since Zhu Zhan Yan left, nearly 6,000 miners have been lost in the Iwami mine.

You must know that this is still Zhu Zhanyan's restraint, because in his vision, this Iwami mine is a long-term income that requires many, many miners, so he didn't go too far, and he didn't let twelve or thirteen-year-old men participate in it.

In other words, this 6,000 represents 6,000 families being fragmented.

In the Wa Kingdom, the status of women is worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, after losing the pillars of the family, many Wa women chose to obey the arrangements of the Ming army, and were sent to the Ming Dynasty to find another family.

People have been a resource since ancient times, and women are even more.

In the feudal era when wars were frequent, population was the top priority, and the importance of women was reflected at this time.

Although Zhu Zhanyan dislikes Japanese women very much except for some unconventional aspects, he also has to admit that this is a good way, and it is harmless.

If you want to go to Daming, there are requirements, not just a woman can go, first of all, you can't drag your family with you, after all, Daming is to find a place for them to live, not to find a pick-up man for them to help support their parents and children.

Secondly, after entering the Ming Dynasty, they will be lowly.

The so-called untouchable is a system derived from the Ming Dynasty without slaves, and the meaning of untouchable is very simple, that is, literally.

Only by abiding by the law and abiding by women's morals for ten years can they have a chance to become real Ming people.

Attention, there is a chance.

However, this is very easy for Japanese women to accept, because their status is very low, and the life of the Ming Dynasty is what every Japanese people once yearn for, this kind of thing is easy for them to accept.

Although Zhu Zhanyan didn't like it, he couldn't help it, because even treating them as living machines was cost-effective.

And the dark tide under Iwami's calm is not only that.

The tax exemption of the Ming army was not given in vain, and if people were not sent to work in the mines, then there was no tax exemption qualification.

Attracted by tax exemption, the people of the Japanese country now like to work in the mines, and the people in their families will even urge their young people to work in the mines, just to be able to be exempt from taxes.

It seems incredible, because everyone knows the truth of "walking by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet", but it is a very worthwhile thing for these Japanese people.

In the long run......

However, Zhu Zhanyan is not worried about this problem, because the current Japanese people seem to be in a psychedelic world, and they will only slowly decline in the end, but they are full of happiness.

It's weird, but it's also real.

"Is there anything else going on in my absence?" Sitting in the camp tent after a long absence, Zhu Zhanyan looked at the records made by Liu Sheng and Li Bin at the same time during this time.

The output of Iwami Silver Mountain has stabilized, and it is about 150,000 taels of silver a month, which is already the limit, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to increase it.

"It's nothing, it's just that the great feudal lords of Izumo, Yasu, and Bigo have all sent people over to spy on us, but there is no other action beyond that."

Zhu Zhanyan frowned when he heard this.

That's not a good thing.

During this time, the Ming army was indeed stopping and resting, but at the same time, it also gave the Japanese a chance to breathe, and the resistance they would face in the future would definitely be more intense.

Although the Ming army "preferentially" treated prisoners, the top brass of the Wa State were not vegetarians, and they had ways to suppress those civilians.

For example, loved ones.

"By the way, Your Highness......" Speaking of this, Liu Bin suddenly wanted to say something, obviously wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his head in surprise and asked.

For Li Bin, Zhu Zhanyan is willing to give him some trust, but it is limited to that, after all, the current Li Bin still belongs to the military generals in Yingtian.

Except for Xu Heng, the current Zhu Zhan Yan can't find a military general he fully trusts, and even Xu Heng can't make Zhu Zhan Yan trust.

Li Bin hesitated for a long time, and only after seeing Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping at the door did he make up his mind: "Your Highness, this silver mountain, do you really want to let it out?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan was stunned when he heard this.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this question, but he didn't expect Li Bin to ask this question.

Indeed, he had also been entangled before, Iwami Silver Mountain is a very big treasure mountain, and it can even be said that it can solve Zhu Zhanyan's dilemma of lack of money in one fell swoop.

But in the end, he decided to give up.

There's a lot of money, and sometimes it's really not a good thing.

If productivity does not increase, more and more money will only lead to currency depreciation, and today's gold and silver are not commodities and investments like later generations, and in the end they can only bring a large depreciation of silver, as in history, and finally from very little use to common currency.

In contrast, Zhu Zhanyan still prefers steady improvement, and this false increase achieved by increasing the total amount of money is useless, unless it is foreign trade, but that is not something that can be achieved in a moment and a half.

Therefore, he chose to hand over Iwami Ginzan to the old man, and as for Sado Kanayama, he felt that it would not be, but it was not now.

"Alright, that's not for you to worry about." Zhu Zhanyan pulled his thoughts back, and also opened his mouth to dispel Li Bin's nonsense.

"In about two months, the Wa Kingdom will also start to warm up, and then we should move, and the imperial court has begun to send people to take over here."

"What you need to do now is to think about what you want to do in the future, instead of dwelling on this silver mountain."

"If our follow-up results are not satisfactory, this silver mountain will not be saved."

"Yes!" Li Bin's heart sank, and he bowed down and said yes.

——

Yingtianfu, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Zhanchi was entangled, Zhu Di was also entangled, and Zhu Gaochi was even more entangled.

"Do you have any ideas on arranging candidates to go to the Wa Kingdom?" Zhu Di looked at the eldest son standing below, and asked casually.

"Hmm......" Zhu Gaochi's heart tightened, but he still replied in an orderly manner.

"Erchen thinks that the person in charge of the affairs of the silver mountain must be handed over to the person chosen by Xia Yuanji, as for the others......"

"Erchen thinks that it would be good to send another civilian official who is in check with the household department, and as for the rest of the people, Erchen still thinks that it would be better to send more generals."

"Oh?" Zhu Di's eyelids lifted slightly.

"What do you think?"

"Zhan Gully's trip has been fruitful, and the Yinshan side is also operating relatively safely, and the will of the people of the Japanese country is still very strong, but the surrounding area is a big problem."

"Before Zhan Gully attacked Heianjing, the capital of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom was still a whole, and would unite against our Ming Dynasty, and Zhan Gully's idea was also obvious, that is, to rely on the north shore and advance all the way to Heianjing."

"We value Silver Mountain very much, and the people of the Wa Kingdom are naturally the same, so Erchen feels that after the Zhan Gully advances, there will definitely be people in the Wa Kingdom who want to recapture Iwami."

"This time, I can get back the silver mountain, and second, I can cut off the supply of Zhan Gully."

"Based on these, Erchen thinks that it is more appropriate to send some generals, and at the same time, he must also send more troops, otherwise Zhan Yan will be more uncomfortable."

"That'...... In your opinion, who should be sent? Zhu Di lightly threw out a question of death.
