Zhu Bai replied: "You don't like to eat, it doesn't matter, it's all handed over to the official tooth bureau." ”

He built granaries in Beiping, Ningxia and other northwestern and northeastern health centers, dried and threshed the corn produced nearby, dried and cut the corn stalks into sections, and transported them in a steady stream.

It's dry and cold over there, and the dried old corn kernels are not afraid to be stored for three or five years.

Dried corn stalks are also good to feed horses.

Those guards, if they really run out of food, they will take some.

Generally, it is not used.

Because it's not delicious.

Moreover, if there are cattle and sheep, who will eat the corn corn of the hard country?

Therefore, Zhu Bai's grain is stored there, and it is also very reassuring.

Li Guang asked Zhu Bai: "I haven't heard of a potato as a thing." I asked all the merchants from the Western Regions and Europa, but no one knew. There are tomatoes, and I'll find a way to get some. There's another big thing. I've been robbed, you don't care?!! ”

Zhu Bai: "Forget it, so be it." I'm sure I'm going to take care of it. But you just tell me no, you have to cry with my father before I can come out. ”

Now the great Khan of the Mongols, Timur, is becoming more and more powerful, claiming to have 200,000 people.

He proclaimed himself the third monarch of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and gathered together the Mongol tribes that roamed the steppes and northeast.

They not only harassed the officers and soldiers on the border of the Ming Dynasty, but also robbed merchants from Hami to Jiayuguan.

They didn't kill anyone, but when they robbed things, they threw people outside Jiayu Pass.

The city of Guazhou has been robbed several times.

Think about the last time Beiyuan was so arrogant, it was when Wang Baobao was alive.

Li Guang was so angry that he sent a letter to Lao Zhu, asking Lao Zhu to take care of it.

His letter was written extremely politely, but he saw blood for a while, and on the surface, he said that he asked Lao Zhu to protect him, but in fact, he was saying that Lao Zhu was very good at killing his own people, and there was no way to deal with strong enemies, he was just a nest.

Where could Lao Zhu stand such a strange yin and yang atmosphere, and asked Lan Yu to lead 200,000 iron horses, Li Wenzhong and Zhao Yong as deputy generals to exterminate the Northern Yuan, and strive to do it once and for all this time!

The household department spent a lot of effort to raise military rations, but they didn't raise all of it, so they asked Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao for their guilt.

Should I say it or not, there have been so many natural disasters since Lao Zhu's reign, and no year has stopped.

Last year, there was another flood, and there was not enough grain in the grain-producing areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This is a very important matter, and if we do not raise enough military rations and miss the golden time of summer, we will have to wait for next year.

Zhu Biao decided to personally supervise the handling and went down to the various government offices in Yingtian to supervise the delivery of grain one by one.

These government offices, without exception, are crying poor.

The main thing has been fighting for several years. After fighting Mongolia, Mongolia fought Yunnan, Yunnan fought Yunnan, Yunnan fought Guangdong, and Guangdong began to fight Mongolia again after fighting, endlessly.

Whoever wants to charge the big head, after handing over this wave of grain, there will be the next expedition waiting for you soon.

Not to mention the continuous disasters, no one can guarantee that their own land will be able to produce enough food to eat in the next year.

The point is, they have already paid enough taxes for this year.

Zhu Biao was not good at killing, so he robbed hard, but he walked around, and the food he collected was not enough for the rations of the people and horses he brought out.

Zhu Biao ordered Huguang to transport grain to replenish military rations.

Political Secretary Hu Guangbu said: "I borrowed military rations from us last year, but I haven't paid them back yet. ”

It is not difficult to borrow and repay.

Every year, he borrowed military rations from Huguangjiangxi, saying that he would pay it back when the year was good, but he forgot about it when the year was good, and he came to us again when he was short of food.

In this world, there is no such good thing.

In the end, it was Lao Zhu who ordered Zhu Bai to find a way.

Zhu Bai said: "I am the vassal king of Changsha, and I only care about the affairs of Changsha. ”

Lao Zhu: "Don't be long-winded, tell you to think of a way, just think quickly." ”

Zhu Bai: "No way. ”

Liu Bowen gave Zhu Biao an idea and asked Zhu Bai to supervise the army.

When there is no food, he can't let Lan Yu and the soldiers go hungry.

Zhu Biao happily agreed, and made this suggestion to Lao Zhu, only saying that Zhu Bai was old and could also go to the battlefield to exercise.

Thinking of Zhu Bai's three elder brothers, Zhu Zhang, when they were as old as him, they also started to fight.

Lao Zhu was a little reluctant.

But he also knew what Zhu Biao meant, there were fierce generals such as Lan Yu, Li Wenzhong, and Zhao Yong, where did he need Zhu Bai to fight. This is to force Zhu Bai to find a way to raise food.

Zhu Biao's method of governing is not a long-term solution. As soon as he encountered a problem, he forced Zhu Bai, and when he was usually fine, he finally guarded against Zhu Bai.

I really want the horses to run again, and I am afraid that the horses will eat more grass.

You can't do this to the minister, let alone your own brother.

It's just that for the sake of the country, anyone's sacrifice is necessary.

Lao Zhu also understood this, so he wrote to Zhu Bai again: "Hurry up and find a way, otherwise I will get you to fight the Mongols." ”

Before, this kid was ignorant and playful, but now that he has a wife, he is also older, and he should know the dangers of the battlefield.

So Lao Zhu felt that this threat should be useful.

As a result, Zhu Bai replied: "Obey." Erchen immediately set off to go north with several generals. ”

Lao Zhu was so stunned when he received the letter that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time: You are a rebel. We're threatening you, don't you understand?

Is this kid stupid? If you go to the north, you still have to raise food?

Otherwise, what else would he give you?

But the emperor's golden mouth and jade teeth can't be withdrawn, and it's useless to be angry.

And on the day Zhu Bai sent the reply, he packed his luggage and came by boat.

The day after the letter arrived in Lao Zhu's hands, Zhu Bai also arrived.

He brought only a few thick clothes and weapons at hand, as well as thirty guards.

Nothing else.

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Bai helplessly: "Rebel, do you know how dangerous the confrontation between the two armies is, it is not as simple as you are playing in a yurt." ”

Zhu Bai: "The Northern Yuan Dynasty is strong and endangers the Ming Dynasty, and the son, as the son of his father, has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

The key is that those who rob his businessmen and beat him are tolerable and unbearable.

If you don't teach those Mongols a lesson, how will he mix in the future.

Lao Zhu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Zhu Bai took a step forward: "Father, rest assured, the son will definitely come back unharmed." ”

Lao Zhu could only say, "You bring a few more guards." ”

-----

Zhang Yu heard that Zhu Bai was going to the Northern Expedition, and immediately came to see Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, Zhang Fu is young and has no experience in war, so I implore the emperor to allow the ministers to replace him and follow the Northern Expedition of the King of Xiang." ”

Lao Zhu knew that in addition to protecting his son, Zhang Yu also wanted to protect Zhu Bai.

On the battlefield, a close guard without enough trust is just as dangerous as an enemy being extra strong.

In fact, he also had this plan, and he didn't ask Zhu Biao, so he was directly approved.

However, he asked Zhang Yu to bring Zhang Fu.

After all, if the next generation does not go to the battlefield to train, it will be troublesome when the time comes.

Although Zhu Biao felt a little breathless, after all, Zhang Yu was now his guard.

But Zhu Bai is going to the battlefield to play for his life, and as his brother and future ruler, he is not even willing to give Zhu Bai a guard, and it seems that he can't make sense.

Zhang Yu came out of the palace and went straight to the palace of King Xiang.

The guard opened the door and saw Zhang Yu, and was stunned: "Huh? Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Yu arched his hand: "I ask to follow His Highness to the north." Where is Your Highness at the moment? ”

Guard: "Backyard training ground." ”

Zhang Fu came out of it with a look of surprise: "Huh? Father. ”

Zhang Yu looked disgusted: "Hurry up and go home to see your mother, there's nothing wrong with you here." ”

Zhang Fu was very depressed: Why haven't I seen my father for more than a year, my father just wants to drive him away.

Zhang Yu was more familiar with this place than Zhang Fu, and went straight to the backyard.

Zhu Bai is trying out the new handcuffs.

This time, the handcuffs are the eighth-generation handcuffs that have been improved countless times.

He tried it just now, and in addition to the noise being a bit loud, the recoil is still large, and the crosshairs have been greatly improved.

Zhu Bai was also very happy when he heard what Zhang Yu said, it is always good to have more of his own people.
