Coming out of Jiangxia Houfu, Huang Xiongying took the Guo brothers and went straight to Fangshan.

Fang Shan.

It is more than ten miles away from Yingtianfu, and it is much further out of Jubao Mountain, where the old man took Huang Xiongying to go.

When you come here, you will see the reckless mountains and forests, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and you can't even find a road up the mountain.

There aren't many people around.

So Li Jinglong is right to say that birds don't poop here.

"Young Master," Guo Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What's the use of you going to great lengths to ask for this Fang Mountain?" If you want me to say, it would be better to ask for two acres of fertile land! ”

The two Guo brothers followed Huang Xiongying for two days, and slowly became acquainted, and they were not so tight with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You know!"

Huang Xiongying scolded with a smile and said, "This seems to be nothing on the surface, but there are good things in it!" ”

"Oh-"

Guo Xuan showed a sudden look: "The young master is saying that there is gold down here?" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "It's not gold, it's black gold!" ”

"Black gold?"

The Guo brothers were stunned.

Huang Xiongying smiled but did not speak.

The black gold in his mouth is nothing but coal.

There is coal in the city of Nanjing, the most concentrated of which is the Zhongshan area, but it is the place where the royal tomb is located, and digging there is equivalent to looking for death.

Therefore, Huang Xiongying set his sights on Fangshan, where there is also coal, which is in the same vein as Zhongshan.

There are so many ways to make money, why dig coal?

In fact, Huang Xiongying is considered.

Why did the Ming Dynasty fall?

Man-made causes are partly due to this, but the more important one is climate change, known as the Xiaoice period.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, that is, about 1500 years, the temperature in China plummeted, especially in the north, the temperature dropped sharply, and the grain production was greatly reduced.

As a result, a large number of people have no food to eat, no clothes to wear, and countless people will starve to death and freeze to death every winter.

Drought, flood, wind and freezing, the peasants who have no harvest begin to leave the original land, displaced, and the desertified land with natural disasters caused serious desertification, and the desertification greatly advanced to the east and south, resulting in the continuous diversion of the Yellow River, every diversion of the Yellow River, has caused a huge impact on the middle and lower reaches of Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces.

By the time Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the perennial natural disasters had brought the grain reserves of the treasury to nearly zero, while the drought was still raging.

This led to a series of peasant uprisings in those years, and the Jurchens outside Shanhaiguan also desperately marched south because they were helpless against the cold.

Under the torture of extreme weather, the continuous natural disasters eventually turned into human disasters, and the Ming Dynasty came to an end.

Ironically, only six years after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on a coal mountain, temperatures have risen to historical averages.

Therefore, it has to be said that the Xiaoice River period is the most fundamental reason for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he is lucky to come to this era, Huang Xiongying will naturally not be alone, make money, pretend to be forced, and be a bubble girl, he wants to change this era and protect this era.

The humble did not dare to forget the country's worries!

This is the truest portrayal of Huang Xiongying's heart at the moment.

The peerless Da Ming, since I am here, I not only want to witness, but also to protect......

……

On the other side, in the imperial study of the Fengtian Palace.

An old man who also wants to protect the Ming Dynasty all the time is thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hanlin Bachelor Liu Sanwu has arrived!"

Grandpa An's voice sounded outside the door, which made Zhu Yuanzhang wake up from his contemplation at once: "Let him in!" ”

A moment later.

A skinny old man with white hair and white beard walked in: "Minister, Liu Sanwu, I've seen the saint!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't be polite, get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Anhe, show Tantanong!" ”

What Tan Tanong said was naturally Liu Sanwu, and Liu Sanwu was not polite, and sat down according to his words.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Sanwu and said, "Tan Tanweng, we called you here to ask you a question." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed: "The prince's stinky boy left us for his own comfort, we are now old, the country cannot be without reserves for a day, it is time to make a prince!" ”

When Liu Sanwu heard this, he was not too surprised, because this is indeed the top priority of today, otherwise if there is any accident, it will be difficult to do, you must know that now all the vassal kings are staring at the Jingshi!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu and said, "Tan Tanweng, tell me, who should we appoint?" ”

Liu Sanwu can be said to be the head of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty today.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has always disliked civil officials, and this time he called Liu Sanwu instead of other princes to ask this question, which shows his respect for Liu Sanwu.

Moreover, Liu Sanwu is a real literati, upright, and the most daring to speak.

Although he angered himself several times, Zhu Yuanzhang still let him go, and even reused him, and let him teach his children and grandchildren from time to time.

Liu Sanwu thought for a moment and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the establishment of the prince is the fundamental matter of the country, presumably Your Majesty has a candidate in his heart, and it is useless for the minister to say more!" ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "What we hate the most is that you scholars drop your book bags, so let's talk about it, who is the crown prince in our hearts going to appoint?" ”

"King Yan!"

Liu Sanwu did not hesitate at all, and said the name.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

In fact, before meeting Huang Xiongying, he did have the idea of making King Yan the crown prince.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is the most like him among so many descendants!

Unlike the benevolent and generous late prince, King Yan has a strong personality, has means, can fight, and is an unruly thorn, if the prince is still there, he can still surrender him.

As for Zhu Yunwen, that child is too tender in front of his fourth uncle!

"Then what do you think of King Yan? Is it convincing? Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu with deep eyes.

Liu Sanwu shook his head: "No matter what King Yan is, the minister thinks that the emperor and grandson inherit the lineage, this is determined by the etiquette system, how can they change it as they want?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed, but nodded and said: "Why don't we know the etiquette, but the emperor Yunwen is too young and ignorant of things, we think it is better to have a prince who is both civil and military!" ”

"Tantanon, what is the reason why you have speculated on our minds, but you have gone against our will?"

Liu Sanwu straightened his waist and said with a fearless face: "Back to Your Majesty, Emperor Yunwen has five out of ten grandsons, not a young child, throughout the ages, is it rare for emperors to ascend the throne at the age of two or three?" I didn't hear that I had to look for the older ones! What's more, the mother of Emperor Yunwen's grandson is now the main room of the East Palace, and the grandson inherits the unification, which is the principle of Anbang's country! ”

"If King Liyan is the crown prince, where will the two kings of Qin and Jin be placed?"

"Isn't this a waste of growing up and standing young? With all due respect, abolishing the long and standing up the young has always been the way to take chaos! ”

Liu Sanwu said excitedly, but Zhu Yuanzhang was quiet and as steady as Mount Tai.

Seeing this, Liu Sanwu also hurriedly lowered his voice and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

I didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to laugh.

"What a Tantanon is! Well said, we have already made up our minds in our hearts! ”

Liu Sanwu was stunned when he heard this.

has been by Zhu Yuanzhang's side for many years, how does he not understand Zhu Yuanzhang's character?

The heart is deep, the heart is resolute, and it will never be swayed by others.

Why did you make sense of Your Majesty in just a few words today? Didn't you guess wrong, Your Majesty has long intended to pass on the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen in his heart?

Liu Sanwu was a little confused for a while.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words change and asked: "Southwest rebellion, what does Tan Tanong think?" ”

Liu Sanwu was stunned again.

Why did you just talk about Lichu, and suddenly turned to the southwest rebellion?

This thinking jumped, and Liu Sanwu felt that he couldn't keep up.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Sanwu replied: "The southwest rebellion will happen from time to time, and General Lanyu will lead the army to the expedition in the near future...... Such military suppression is a symptom but not a root cause! ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a curious look: "Then in your opinion, how to cure the root cause?" ”

Liu Sanwu pondered for a moment and replied: "The minister thinks that he should follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in ancient times and implement the Tui En Decree on these hereditary Tusi!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed a fine light, and he looked at Liu Sanwu with burning eyes: "Is there anything else?" ”

Liu Sanwu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The problem of toast has been around for a long time, and there is only so much that the minister can think of. ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Let's talk about a method, do you think it will work?" ”

"Listen up!"

Liu Sanwu replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered his thoughts for a moment, and slowly said: "Tui En Order, Tan Tan Weng has already said just now, since he has emulated Tui En Order, then why not follow Ban Chao's method of dealing with the Western Regions, to raze and raze, and use the natives to deal with the natives, so as not to send a large number of military horses and spend a lot of money and grain every time the chaos is quelled!" ”

Liu Sanwu couldn't help nodding his head when he listened, this is indeed a good way.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "In addition to the above two policies, we also have a policy, which is called changing the land and returning to the stream!" ”

"Returning to the Stream?"

Liu Sanwu's eyes showed a look of doubt.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "The so-called reform of the land and return to the stream is to gradually abolish the hereditary system of Tusi......"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly said what Huang Xiongying told him.

Liu Sanwu's originally puzzled eyes became brighter and brighter, and it was best to can't help but praise the case: "Good way, really good way!" ”

"The emperor is wise, insightful, and hits the nail on the head, and the old minister admires him very much!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said, "Tan Tanweng, are you sure it's not flattery?" ”

Liu Sanwu was anxious and said, "For so many years, has the emperor ever seen a courtier's flattery?" What the minister said was what he thought in his heart, and there was no lie! ”

"Hahaha-"

Looking at Liu Sanwu, who was swearing, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, and there was pride in his expression that could not be hidden.

Liu Sanwu was stunned again.

How the emperor feels something wrong today, but he can't say anything about him.

However, he thought carefully about the last policy proposed by the emperor just now, and he still couldn't understand some things, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, the minister still doesn't understand this policy of changing the land and returning to the river......

"That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted Liu Sanwu's words: "To tell you the truth, this is not something we came up with, if you have any questions, let's take you to meet that person another day, and you bring it up to that person in person!" ”
