The vast majority of things in the world are almost simple to destroy, and even harder to establish.

This is the situation that Zhu Zhanyan is facing now.

At the beginning, it took him seven years to plunge the Timurid Empire into a man-made catastrophe that brought not only population reduction, but also the depletion of various resources.

The first is land resources.

Soil fertility is declining, and it is not an overnight thing to recover, and in this era, there is no chemical fertilizer, so it can only be restored by compost and plant ash.

The second is resources such as forests.

Later generations no longer have any concept of famine, and even have alternative "why not eat minced meat" remarks, such as why not go to the river to catch fish to eat during the ancient famine.

In fact, whether it is due to drought, waterlogging or the harvest disaster caused by Zhu Zhanyan, when the famine comes, there is something to eat.

The bark and grass roots are not spared, how can the fish in the river be spared?

A large number of hungry people ate everything they could eat, and the locusts had crossed the border.

Finally, there's the water source.

In fact, Zhu Zhanyan didn't think so far at the beginning, but when reality came, he realized that the harvest disaster he caused was like a Pandora's box that was opened, triggering a series of disasters.

The Timurid Empire was not a good place in the first place, and deserts and plateaus accounted for the vast majority of the place, and now it is even worsening.

But Zhu Zhanyan doesn't care, what he wants now is to let the whole world settle down, to put it greatly, it is no longer a threat to the Han people, and to put it selfishly, it is no longer a threat to himself.

As for the prevention and control of desertification, that kind of thing should be talked about when the whole world has calmed down, or even when it is united.

……

Astrakhan.

"Your Highness, the first batch of grain seeds has arrived in Phoenix and handed over to the Mu family for disposal."

Zhu Zhanyan sat back in a chair, baking the stove, squinting and listening to Jian Xiao's report.

"The slave issue you mentioned earlier, the Mu family has selected the first batch of slaves with a total of 4,000 people, and they will return to Xiangzhou Mansion with the fleet transporting grain, and they will disembark in Dhaka before arriving in Xiangzhou Mansion."

"Last ......"

Jian Xiao closed the fold in her hand and looked at Zhu Zhan Yan with a respectful gaze...... Sigh.

"His Royal Highness King Wu asked you, do you want to go back for the New Year this year."

"I'm not going back." Zhu Zhanyan opened his eyes, stood up and walked towards his bookcase.

"There are too many things here, and they are not the same as before, I don't feel at ease when I leave it to you."

"By the way, how about the things I asked you to transfer from Xiangzhou Mansion before?"

"Hui Shizi, His Royal Highness." Jane laughed silently.

"It's been sent back to Xiangzhou Mansion, and I think there will be news next time the fleet returns."

"Implement it as soon as possible, don't procrastinate."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhanyan picked up the pen and quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Jian Xiao.

"It's supplemental, let people send it back too."

"Yes!"

……

Watching Jian Xiao leave, Zhu Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

People tend to ignore a lot of things when they are nervous, and Zhu Zhan Yan is the same.

In fact, the bubonic plague, especially the Black Death, sounds terrible, but the Black Death raging in Europe is not very difficult to solve, and the reason why the Black Death can cause so much harm to Europe and even Central Asia is completely caused by people's ignorance.

Yes, Europe, which was said to be the most advanced in thought in later generations, is a very ignorant place in history.

What was the origin of the Black Death?

To put it bluntly, the Black Death was parasitic on fleas, and fleas were parasitic on mice, but medieval Europe was hostile to cats, because the church put the hat of the devil Satan incarnate on cats, people began to cull cats in large numbers.

The biological chain, the fewer cats, the more mice, the more mice, the more fleas, the more fleas, and the more plague viruses.

Later generations of Westerners seem to have an innate sense of superiority, but in fact, hundreds of years ago, they were just a bunch of stupid people, even uncivilized beasts whose minds were controlled by the church.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanyan knew that the plague would last in Europe for more than 300 years, so he was very nervous, and as soon as he entered Astrakhan, he asked people to clean all kinds of dark corners with alcohol at any cost.

Now that he has calmed down, he has also thought of a lot of ways.

In fact, the plague virus is not terrible, and there are many ways to kill it, because the plague virus is actually a very sensitive existence, sensitive to antibiotics, disinfectants, and even high temperatures commonly used in later generations.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhanyan wanted to burn this Astrakhan directly, but he felt that the gains outweighed the losses, because the high temperature could kill almost all viruses, and if not, the temperature was not high enough.

But in fact, many methods such as quicklime are also effective.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan couldn't help patting his head with a little headache.

The Black Death can be said to have ravaged the whole of Europe, and even spread to Central Asia for a time, so do you have to disinfect every city you capture in the future?

A long sigh came from Zhu Zhanyan's room, causing Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping, who were guarding the door, to look at each other.

However, Zhu Zhanyan didn't know that in Shuntianfu, thousands of miles away, there was a father and son who were also as worried as him.

……

Suncheonfu, Imperial Palace, Wenhua Palace.

Today's Wenhua Hall is in a busy scene, because the New Year is coming soon, but they are not busy because of the New Year, but for another thing.

After the New Year, Yongle will be completely over, and the name of Yongle will only appear in the history books and become a kind of memory.

After the New Year, the era name of the Ming Dynasty will be changed from Yongle to Hongxi, and the Hongxi Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will officially and justifiably be in charge of everything in the Ming Dynasty, including the era name.

After the New Year, everything in the Zhu family will move forward to a class.

However, what Zhu Gaochi is thinking about now is not what Zhu Gaochi is thinking about now, what he is thinking about now, or it should be said that he has a headache, is a person.

As Zhu Zhan Yan needed grain seeds and slaves to and from Suez and Xiangzhou Prefecture, Zhu Yunwen was also sent to Shuntian Mansion.

In fact, don't look at Zhu Zhanyan who doesn't care about Zhu Yunwen very much, and doesn't even have any ideas, but in fact, this person is very difficult to deal with for Zhu Di's lineage.

No matter who it is, even if the old man is reincarnated, it is still difficult to deal with.

"Daddy......" Zhu Zhanji, who is now the crown prince, looked at his father with a hesitant look on his face.

"You...... What are you going to do? ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed heavily when he heard this.

What to do? He wanted to know too.

Killed? No way.

At the beginning, the old man was in trouble with the heavens, under the banner of "there are no righteous ministers in the court, and there are treacherous people inside, and they will raise troops to punish them, and they will be on the side of the king".

What does this mean? It probably means that there are no good people in the court, the emperor is blinded by bad people, and I want to raise troops to eliminate the traitors and ministers around the emperor.

The implication is that the emperor is right, and it is those traitors and ministers who are wrong, after all, in the era of the world, the emperor is the son of heaven, how can there be a mistake?

When the old man raised troops to attack Yingtianfu, Emperor Jianwen was nowhere to be found, but the country could not be left without an owner for a day, and the old man could only "take advantage of the situation" to ascend the throne.

But now, the lord of the country set by Emperor Taizu Gao has returned, and when Fengtian was martyred, he said that the emperor was right, and it was the courtiers who were wrong, so naturally Zhu Yunwen could not be killed.

After all, your father, Emperor Yongle, said that the emperor was right, and you Fengtianjing was on the side of the Qing monarch, how could you kill the right emperor?

Can you not kill it?

Let's not talk about whether the old man Fengtianjing is just for the throne, that is the old man's idea, and it is impossible for others to know, but in this matter, whether the old man had that idea or not, the ending is actually the same.

If there is, it is bound to be impossible to give up the throne, not to mention that now that the old man has died in the sky, the emperor who is in charge is Zhu Gaochi, the Hongxi Emperor.

If not, it's also impossible.

The first is that Zhu Gaochi is not his father Zhu Di, and the second is that the original King Yan has ruled the world for more than 20 years, how can he be willing to let go of it and hand it over to a person who has been a monk for more than 20 years.

Third......

People have desires and selfish motives.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Once you have been an emperor, who wants to go back and be a vassal king? And you were once mortal enemies, how can you be sure that if you give up the throne to someone else, they won't get rid of you?

"Alas......" Zhu Gaochi, who had been thinking about it all day, sighed lightly and turned his head to look at his son.

"People...... Is it all arranged? ”

In this matter, he didn't fake it, even Jinyiwei didn't know that Zhu Gaochi was handed over to his son to deal with.

At this time, in this matter, he believed no one but his own son.

"It's all arranged." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

"I arranged him in the mansion that the emperor's grandfather built for the second uncle, where no one would approach on weekdays, let alone enter ......"

Zhu Gaochi raised his head suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at his son deadly.

After a long time, Zhu Gaochi sighed lightly, but still took his gaze back.

What does his own son do......

It's really not glamorous, but it's really able to eliminate all possibilities, and even if an accident happens, they have an excuse to get out of this vortex and keep the dirty water from getting on themselves.

"Prepare yourself, I'll see him."

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything about his son's approach, because it was not necessary, and it was already too late.

The priority now is what to do with this person.

As for whether his nephew sent this person with the idea of making it difficult for him, Zhu Gaochi didn't think too much about it.

Because he could see at a glance that Zhu Zhanyan didn't have that idea.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Zhanyan quietly asked people to bring Zhu Yunwen back, and even when he arrived at Tongzhou Wharf, he didn't let people check it, but insisted on letting people report to the palace, bluntly saying that there was a very important person coming, and the non-emperor was not visible.

Zhu Gaochi didn't pass, but he let Zhu Zhanji, the current crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, pass.

Therefore, not many people know about Zhu Yunwen's arrival, and it has been more than 20 years, although Zhu Yunwen's face has not changed much, but people's memories need time to be mobilized.

I haven't thought about this person for too long, and Zhu Yunwen has aged a lot, not to mention, he still appears as a monk, and it is difficult for people to associate with each other in a short period of time.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi didn't think that his nephew was deliberately making it difficult for him.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi felt that his nephew was for the good of Daming, because Zhu Yunwen was so special, even if Zhu Zhanchi didn't need it, just bringing him to Daming and throwing him down in a random place could bring a big storm to Daming.

However, just because he thinks this way doesn't mean that everyone thinks so.

At the very least, Zhu Gaochi knew that his son didn't think so.

The first chapter was sent out, because when I arrived in Europe, no matter how careful I was, it would still involve some things that were not easy to pass, and I slowly tried to test it.

In addition, it's the last day of the month, don't keep the monthly pass, it will expire!!
