Li Chengliang or the warriors of the Ming Dynasty have actually been looking forward to an emperor who treats them as human beings, and if they win the battle and are rewarded, if they lose the battle, they will be beheaded, even if they are given half a salary, they can repel or eliminate all enemies who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty.

When the imperial court settled the arrears, Li Chengliang thought it was an accident, when the emperor gave Ningyuan the title of earl, Li Chengliang thought that it was His Majesty's kindness, and when Qian Anbo and Ningyuan Bo issued the world coupons to his hand, Li Chengliang also thought that the imperial court was trying to appease the heart of the martial arts.

When Li Chengliang got the second-class merit award, Li Chengliang finally confirmed that the wind power of the Ming Dynasty was changing, and the reason for this change was actually a civil official who was very big, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, kept chattering in the emperor's ear, and the martial artist fought regardless of life and death and got the meritorious service, but was usurped by the civil official, the world is not good, not the reward and punishment, this is a loss to the majesty of the imperial court.

So Li Chengliang's first reaction was to beat Buyan, or remove Buyan's arm, and if he was disobedient, he would beat until he was obedient.

"Isn't Li Shuai a little radical?" Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and asked.

"Isn't that what Your Majesty meant? The minister is stupid. Li Chengliang asked with a puzzled expression.

Zhu Yijun thought about it again, nodded and said: "That's what I mean, Buyan is a little unpragmatic, he needs to let him recognize the reality, and beating him is indeed a good way to recognize the reality." ”

"Deal with barbarians in a way they understand."

Why Buyan still refuses to bow his head is because Tuman Khan thinks that if he does not exchange markets with the imperial court, he can also exchange markets with Buyan, and Li Chengliang beats Buyan for a beating, which is a statement, Liaodong is still the Liaodong of the imperial court, and Liaodong will keep pace with the imperial court.

Li Chengliang smiled, as sunny as His Majesty's smile, this little emperor spoke, it was so straightforward, everyone said it clearly, and there was not so much to do.

"The minister will go later, the minister has brought some good things from the northeast, and please take a look at your majesty." Li Chengliang did not come to Beijing empty-handed, he brought a lot of gifts, one to express his deference, the second to show the wealth of Liaodong, the tendency to ask the imperial court for policy, and the third to ask the court for specific thoughts on Liaodong affairs, whether to continue to fight, or peace.

Li Chengliang stood to the side, and Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou walked in carrying five leather shelves, and a total of five deer skins appeared on the main hall.

"Red deer, reindeer, moose, sika deer and elk, five deer are auspicious, and there are 100 antler velvets." Li Chengliang pointed to the furs of the five deer, all of which were snow-white, not dyed, but born like this.

White swallow, white pigeon, white deer are auspicious, these five deer are actually the accumulation of Liaodong for many years, each piece Li Chengliang got a lot of thought, some are hunted by Orion by chance, some are Haixi Jurchen, Jiannu, Tuban Beiju to Li Chengliang, Li Chengliang will sort out these furs, it is a gift to His Majesty.

"Li Shuai has a heart." Zhu Yijun looked at the leather goods, and then looked at the woolen wool on his body, and said with great satisfaction. He is the emperor, he may not be able to use these, but Li Chengliang sent his heart.

Li Chengliang offered a total of more than 30 pieces of fur, among them, there is also a tiger skin and a bear skin that Li Chengliang personally hunted, Jiannu has a legend, that is, every Jiannu when he becomes a Ding, he has to hunt a tiger alone as a coming-of-age ceremony, Li Chengliang clearly knows that it is fake, he wants to hunt tigers and bears, and at least a dozen or twenty people will be dispatched together.

An adult, alone, hunting tigers, is not taking his own life seriously.

Wild tigers, the masters of hunting.

"It's a box of dirt." Li Chengliang asked people to bring up a box of black soil, he was very helpless, he didn't know how to explain the value of these soil to the natural nobles, the soil everywhere, what is the value, is it worth offering treasure in the Wenhua Palace?

But Li Chengliang thinks it's worth it, it's not disrespectful, he doesn't fool the emperor with soil, it's really worth it. Li Chengliang believes that the Ming Dynasty does not know the value of the Northeast at all, so it has not developed the Northeast.

Zhu Yijun really understands soil, he stood up and came to this box of soil, reached out and grabbed a handful and rubbed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "The black soil with excellent fertility, Li Shuai came prepared for entering Beijing this time." ”

"Your Majesty knows what this is?" Li Chengliang's eyes widened, and he said in horror, thinking that he would be criticized, thinking that he Li Chengliang fooled the emperor with a box of soil, and people who understand can understand the value of this box of soil, and those who don't understand will only feel that Li Chengliang humiliates the emperor.

After Zhu Yijun washed his hands, he said with a smile: "Li Shuai, I farm, has Li Shuai ever composted manure?" It is a layer of manure and a layer of straw, sprinkled into it, and then plugged, after composting, in more than ten days, the temperature can rise to more than 70 degrees at most, and then add water, the compost is the same as what Li Shuai presented, Xu Zhenming Xu told me, this is called humus dung. ”

If an apple is buried in the soil, it is called organic matter, after a period of decay and humification, there is a large amount of stable humus in the soil, which is compost, and this process is called manure.

"Your Majesty really farms." Li Chengliang said in amazement, he never thought that a natural noble person would farm, this is a very outrageous thing, it is rumored that the emperor will farm, Li Chengliang does not believe it, but now that he believes it, His Majesty seems to really understand the soil.

Zhu Yijun really understood, he said like a few treasures: "Baoqisi is specially used for farming, Xu Zhenming found that the land will have obvious faults, each layer of color, texture, structure is different, the top layer is floating soil, the bottom is black and red humus, and then down is the heart soil layer, near some rivers, there is a layer of sediment and soil, and then down is the stone." ”

"Roughly according to the color, we divide the land into red, yellow, brown, gray, white, purple, etc., for example, in Liangguang, it is mainly red soil, while in the Jianghuai area, it is mainly yellow soil, Sichuan is mainly purple soil, and grassland is mainly brown soil."

"Normally, the more humus in the soil, the greater the ability to store water, and the water content of the soil is more than 12% to grow most of the crops, and below 8% of the soil, it needs to be fertilized several times to increase the humus in the soil, which is difficult, and in fact very difficult to do."

Zhu Yijun talked eloquently, calmly explaining the knowledge of the land he knew, which was the result of practical experiments, and crops with a water content of less than 8% would not grow.

Li Chengliang was silent for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, after leaving the customs, more than 100 miles north to the vicinity of Jilin, there is a large amount of black soil, as far as the eye can see, not to mention millions of hectares of fertile land, about three feet thick black soil. ”

Jilin, a place name that is familiar with the Ming Dynasty and is unfamiliar, this name often appears in the early Ming Dynasty, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there is no longer a little record, Li Chengliang is not sure whether the little emperor knows where Jilin is.

"How much?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Chengliang and asked, "How many acres of black soil are there, such a black soil of one or two taels of soil?" ”

"Millions." Li Chengliang said with certainty.

Daming's current register is only more than 4.5 million hectares, while in the 26th year of Hongwu, it is more than 8 million hectares, and Li Chengliang's mouth is one million hectares.

Land is still the most important means of production at present, and this million hectares of fertile land suitable for cultivation, even if it is harvested once a year, is enough to alleviate the general food shortage in the north.

"What Li Shuai said, I know." Zhu Yijun nodded solemnly.

The atmosphere in the side hall of the Wenhua Hall has tended to solidify, Zhang Ju is contemplative, and Wang Guoguang is already short of breath, his eyes are staring at Li Chengliang like a hungry wolf, that kind of gaze is called greed, Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is already eager to try, and Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, is thinking, how much is this.

These million hectares of land are 100 million acres of land suitable for farming.

Li Chengliang's idea is correct, the Ming Dynasty is not very clear about the value of Liaodong and the north of Liaodong, Li Chengliang has no idea what he is doing, this million fertile land, once it is confirmed that it really exists, the Ming Dynasty will be completely transformed into a war machine.

The Ming Dynasty or the Central Plains Dynasty was extremely enthusiastic about arable land.

Once this obsession is opened, wars will ensue, and the entire Ming Dynasty will become the most fanatical warmongers, because land is living space, and land is everything.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has conquered the field of vision, and all the places that can be cultivated, even the places that are not suitable for farming, have been transformed into farmable.

The history of the Central Plains Dynasty is really complicated when it is complicated, and it is simple to say, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the history of the expansion of arable land.

The core driver of expansion is the cultivation of the land.

It is generally believed that after leaving the customs, because of the cold weather, it will not be able to cultivate, the severe cold weather will shorten the frost-free period, the frost-free period is too short, and even a season can not be harvested.

But the formation of the humus layer represents the frost-free period north of Liaodong, which can be cultivated, as long as the frost-free period is more than 100 days, it is worth occupying, if the rain is sufficient, more than one foot and two inches, then it must be occupied.

If the black land is not planted, it is not a crime!

Li Chengliang sensed that something was wrong, something was wrong, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wanshi and the biggest dove became hideous.

"Your Majesty, when the minister was in Daningwei, I heard Qi Shuai say that there is such a black land in Quanningwei, just in the pass of Daxianbei Mountain, if you can take Quanningwei, you can try to cultivate." Tan Lun mentioned what he had seen and heard in Daningwei, when he left Qinglong Fort, forced Quanningwei, and asked the Khalkha Fifth Department to withdraw his troops, Li Rusong saw the black land where the grass grew and the warbler flew, and told Tan Lun about it as a strange story.

The black color of the land is mainly due to humus.

Tuman Khan, another reason to have to die.

"The third gift is Iron Armor, made of ginseng iron!" Li Chengliang's third gift was to present an iron armor.

Tan Lun walked in front of the iron armor, knocked on it, and was quite sure that it was made of ginseng iron, and the impurities in the iron material would change the properties of the iron, and removing the impurities was a long and difficult process.

The one with fewer impurities is called ginseng iron, which is extremely rare, and Tan Lun is sure that this thing is ginseng iron.

Li Chengliang bowed his head and said: "This is Dongningwei's ginseng iron, which can be mined in the open pit in Nanfen Mountain, where it is close to Jianzhouwei, and there has been a long-term war and chaos, and the attacks are continuous. ”

Li Chengliang also has his purpose in offering treasures, the first leather goods are to display animal resources, and the land resources displayed by the black soil, and now the ginseng iron is mineral resources, all of which are displayed are the natural endowments of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang's purpose is to drum up war.

The leather goods are in the Great Xianbei Mountain, which is occupied by the Tuman Khan, and the black soil is in Jilin.

During the Hongwu period, the Ming army fought to Jilin, and in the Yongle period, the Jilin shipyard was built in Jilin and the Nuer Gandu Division was established, but with the passage of time, the general trend of Xingwen and Kuangwu was the general trend, and the Nuer Gandu Division was finally abandoned.

The place name of Jilin itself is called Jilin, it is the Hongwu period to command Zhuang Delu to pass through this place, and saw a large number of golden chickens in the woods, so it was named, and later changed its name to Jilin.

Jilin shipyard in the Yongle years of shipbuilding, grain to open the side, Emperor Chengzu collapsed, Renzong dismissed Jilin shipyard, Xuande years and then thousands of craftsmen set up Jilin shipyard, Xuanzong collapsed, the orthodox years of Jilin shipyard completely abandoned, no one mentioned.

Even Dongningwei ginseng iron, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty, is not very stable, because the opposite side is the harassment of Jianzhou's gang of Jiannu, this is an open-pit ginseng iron mine, and if you occupy the iron mine, you will have ordnance, how can Jiannu not harass and plunder.

Li Chengliang is clamoring for war, and if the emperor wants to get this, he needs to continue to launch attacks to obtain this.

Zhu Yijun understood what Li Chengliang was saying, and said with a smile: "Li Shuai has a deferential heart, and sooner or later he will be a Ming person." Today's feast is given, and Li Shuai will go back after the New Year in Beijing. ”

"Obey." Li Chengliang was very sure that the emperor understood his questions and temptations, and his biggest feeling after entering Beijing was that this little emperor, he was really not easy to fool.

After Li Chengliang left, Zhu Yijun did not let Zhang Juzheng leave, but communicated with Zhang Juzheng about the prohibition of gathering disciples to give lectures and Nanya's debt collection.

"After the news of Qi Shuai's victory in Liaodong reached Nanya, there was tremendous progress in the collection of arrears, and according to the number of land holdings, the luxury households with more than 700 acres of land shared the arrears equally."

700 hectares, equal to 70,000 acres of land, this is the power of the powerful.

The cost of tax audit is extremely high, ask the small people harshly, there is no way to collect a few percent of tax, the manpower and material resources of the collection ticket are all need money, and Nanya, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places owe a total of 2.34 million taels of silver in taxes, excluding the cost of tax auditing, there will be 1.93 million taels of transportation to Beijing.

This money, there will be 780,000 taels of silver, to dredge and consolidate the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

As Wan Shihe said, the grain is no longer transported by river, but by sea, which does not mean that the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the main artery of the Ming Dynasty, has stopped beating, on the contrary, it will become more prosperous.

The transportation of grain into Beijing will greatly delay the capacity of river transportation, and the passage of grain and commercial ships will be avoided twice a year, which will seriously affect the production and life on both sides of the Daming Canal.

Shipping is an attempt of the Ming Dynasty, this time it is Zhang Juzhengguo, even if the ship is overturned, it is necessary to continue to improve the ship and continue to carry it on.

As for the matter of gathering disciples to give lectures, Zhang Juzheng believes that in the name of the so-called smooth speech and the great rule of the world, allowing those who shake their lips and talk and the treacherous people to wantonly slander the court without restraint will eventually reap the consequences.

The sages are trained by scriptures, and the country is a man by scriptures.

There is no need for the court officials to give lectures, gather the party in groups, and recruit people who have nothing to do in other parties, and the empty Tan will definitely open the way to ask for help, and the disadvantages of appeasement will inevitably become a common practice. All localities should also be impeached according to the judges and the inspectors according to the imperial history; Wanderers, etc., gather disciples to give lectures, and allow each to caress and visit according to the yamen.

This is already a very strict policy, and Zhang Ju is doing this very seriously in order to rectify the study and politics.

"Gold and silver money, Mr. said before the end of the year, this looks like the end of the year, has it been made?" Zhu Yijun asked about the production of gold and silver coins.

With the blessing of the Ming gold and silver royal craftsmanship, the imperial silver coins of the Baoyuan Bureau are in full swing to improve the process.

The Ming royal process can pull the gold wire to an accuracy of one centimeter (0.314 mm), and it is exactly the same, Zhu Yijun's gold silk wing crown is this process, the process of the palace is rolling, and the process of the Baoyuan Bureau is casting, and the silver coins cast are too many holes, which cannot meet the needs of the coins of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chengliang went down to the court, and the next day he appeared at the Huitong Pavilion and began to negotiate with Buyan on behalf of Liaodong.

Tuban Khan still has an illusion, that is, Li Chengliang of Liaodong is consistent with their barbarian attributes, they are all mountain kings, they can communicate, and they can be the same as the northwest direction of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the view of the imperial court, which is very cautious when dealing with the situation in Liaodong.

The barbarians and the imperial court all thought that Li Chengliang had the foundation of feudal towning, but they never asked Li Chengliang what he thought, asked the thoughts of the Liaodong soldiers and the people, Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and in December of the third year of Wanli, it is a fact that Li Chengliang is just a Ming general who can lead the Liaodong army to win the battle and protect the cultivated land of the people of Liaodong.

Li Chengliang is a general of the Ming Dynasty, but as long as there is a way, Li Chengliang will never rebel, and even raise his own respect, in the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion of the generals is too abstract and unrealistic.

Buyan saw Li Chengliang who came to negotiate with a smile, Li Chengliang's right elbow swung back, hurriedly walked forward, didn't even say hello, the center of gravity of his body moved down slightly, his fists, elbows, shoulders and waists moved together, and a cannon fist smashed directly on Buyan's face.

"Bang!"

This punch is powerful and heavy, if it weren't for the fact that Li Chengliang is now fifty years old, just this punch can directly kill Buyan, he is a military general with a big waist and a round waist.

The smile on Buyan's face didn't disappear, he became stunned, and then fell straight to the ground, he lay on the ground, his head buzzed and screamed that it was pitch black in front of him, and the pitch black immediately turned into an ethereal white and gold convergence, Buyan, who was lying on the ground, didn't expect that he would be next to this punch anyway, what is the reason?

The two soldiers picked up a bench, and the leg of the stool stuck Buyan's neck and one leg, and the two soldiers pressed the only foot that could move, and said loudly: "Shuai, please take a seat." ”

Li Chengliang sat on the bench with a golden knife and stepped on Buyan's hand.

Buyan's cowardly Xue guard suddenly pulled out the scimitar in his hand, and looked at Li Chengliang with insufficient confidence, while Li Chengliang's personal soldiers pulled out their waist knives, and the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense, and they were about to fight if they didn't agree.

Li Chengliang resolutely carried out His Majesty's orders, and His Majesty said that he would be beaten if he wanted to be beaten.

"I heard that your father wants to make an appointment with Da Ming about the country of uncles and nephews?" Li Chengliang looked at Buyan, his tone was particularly gloomy, he took out a dagger, scratched it on Buyan's face, put it on Buyan's neck and said, "Speak." ”

Buyan didn't dare to move at all!

When his vision regained clarity, he saw a fierce beast on him, and the cold feeling of the knife gave him goosebumps all over his body, and Buyan knew that as long as he answered incorrectly, Li Chengliang would definitely kill him.

Li Chengliang has the courage to do this.

"No, Daning Wei lost the battle, don't say that, you should kill Hai to the Golden Dome Tent quickly, so I can only say that, absolutely not." Buyan looked at Li Chengliang's face and replied in horror.

Buyan is telling the truth, Tuman Khan said this, also for internal stability, and also for the sake of internal stability, and the country of uncles and nephews, Altan Khan showed off his might, fought with the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and finally got a prince and was beautiful, and returned to the country of uncles and nephews, Tuman Khan didn't know how many soldiers and horses he had?

As Tan Lun guessed, the contradictions between the tribes of the Tuman Khan are much more intense than the contradictions between the Ming court and the localities.

"Remember one sentence, the king humiliates the ministers to death, you humiliate the Son of Heaven, you are humiliating the entire Ming Dynasty, and if you talk cruelly about Your Majesty in the future, I will personally lead the troops and smash your lair." Li Chengliang can understand ruthless words, but if he talks about the Son of Heaven again, Li Chengliang will never end the fight.

The Ming Dynasty has not had an emperor who respects martial artists for more than 50 years, and the last one who respected martial artists more was Emperor Wuzong.

Although it has a lot to do with Zhang Juzheng's education, His Majesty's respect for martial arts is not necessarily Zhang Juzheng's education, such as Ti Shuai Zhu Xixiao and Qi Shuai teaching the emperor martial arts, and the emperor regards martial arts as a teacher, and he also owes a bow; And Your Majesty eats a hard bare-wah cake every day; The wool of Yongding woolen factory is given priority to the military and so on, and this kind of respect makes Li Chengliang a little confused.

The emperor gnawed all the cakes, Li Chengliang felt that he had never seen the world, and he really hadn't seen this face.

Therefore, if you put cruel words here and put them here, you can't blame him Li Chengliang for being unkind.

"Got it, got it!" Buyan nodded hurriedly and replied, Li Chengliang was not like this before, although it was not polite to the envoy of the Tuman Khan, but it was polite.

But now that we met, we didn't even say a word, and started fighting.

Only then did Li Chengliang stand up and said disdainfully: "Tell you that without Your Majesty's order, Liaodong will not traffic goods to Tumanhan, and not a single hair will be able to leave the Great Wall, I Li Chengliang said!" ”

"If you want to talk, you can talk to the court, if you don't talk about it, you have fought on the battlefield, you can't fight, your mouth is very hard, and you are crooked like the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty."

Buyan lay on the ground, doubting life, he was a prairie man, not a literati and inkman, venting a stream of babbling nonsense.

Li Chengliang really beat Buyan, this is a political statement, he gave the emperor so many gifts, the main thing is to ask, the emperor, is our old Li in Liaodong with the barbarians and the Jiannu to the death, or is it false and wronged, hello and I am a good family? Your emperor gives me a word.

The emperor made it very clear that the land court wanted it, the iron ore court wanted it, and the fur court wanted it, all of them.

"Can Da Ming quit Daningwei?" Buyan asked tentatively.

Li Chengliang raised his fist again, sneered and said: "If I were a barbarian Khan, I would rather fight with Altan Khan than be an enemy of Qi Jiguang, and I would rather see who it is." ”

"If you eat it in your stomach, there is no reason to spit it out."

"I can see it, the brutes don't want to talk about it at all, it's okay, just keep fighting."

Li Chengliang looked around, turned around and left, he didn't come to talk about peace, he just came to beat people, beating people is to make a statement, he left after the fight, without any nostalgia.

That night, Li Chengliang received an invitation from Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng invited Li Chengliang not to go to the Quanchu Hall, but to Yanxing Building, a banquet building next to the Quanchu Hall.

Li Chengliang checked a thousand taels of gold, not silver, and came to Yanxing Building, where the thousand taels of gold were divided into two boxes.

"Mr. Motofuke, who is this?" Li Chengliang looked at the person with a clean face and a little puzzled, this is like a person in the palace.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Feng Bao's righteous son Xu Jue, he takes care of Yanxing Building." ”

Li Chengliang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the thousand taels of gold he prepared had to be divided into two boxes, otherwise it would not be enough.

"Bring it up, Yuanfu and Feng Daban, each with a box, and reward Yuanfu for running for the martial arts." Li Chengliang is full of sincerity, as soon as he makes a move, it is gold, if it weren't for Xu Jue's presence, this thousand taels would be Zhang Juzheng's.

Li Chengliang believes that this Ning Yuanbo and the world bond are Zhang Juzheng's decisions, because at the moment, His Majesty has not been in power, so it must be Yuan Fu who makes the decision.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "I can't ask for it, the lord has won a reputation for a hundred battles, and I accept his gold, which is to offend Emperor Gao." ”

Zhang Juzheng is talking about offending Emperor Gao, not His Majesty today, martial arts knighthood is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao back then, if he accepts Li Chengliang's gold and silver as Yuan Fu, then he will humiliate the rules of Emperor Gao's martial arts reward.

"We can't ask for it." Xu Jue shook his head and said: "After receiving this box, when you return to the palace, you have to be sunk by the old ancestor, and the second ancestor of the old ancestor will tear it apart." ”

Li Chengliang is confused, and no one wants the golden gold? How did this world come to be?

The lord of Er's reputation for a hundred battles, I received his gold, which offended Emperor Gao. From the "Supplement to the Chronicle of the Ming Dynasty". This is Zhang Juzheng's original words when he refused Li Chengliang's bribe, and Zhang Juzheng did not accept all the money. Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!
