"Bastard!"

In the wooden house, hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di suddenly got up and looked down at Zhu Gaoxu with a solemn expression.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu's words scared him, but Zhu Gaochu did not stop.

"Grandpa is seriously ill, how does Dad think his old man will arrange it?"

"Gao Xu!" Zhu Di called him by his name, which is enough to show how afraid he is of what Zhu Gaoxu said.

But in the face of his worry and fear, Zhu Gaoxu looked at him flatly, and kept saying something that made Zhu Di nervous.

"I guess that grandpa will definitely let the grandson ascend the throne, and will explain the harmony between the uncle and nephew of the grandson, the brothers, friends and brothers, and cut the domain according to my "Theory of Cutting the Domain" to protect the wealth of the uncles and nephews."

"But father, do you think the grandson will really do what Grandpa tells him? Will he cut the feudal domain according to my "Theory of Cutting the Domain", boy? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's tone was flat, but he broke out in a cold sweat step by step, and his face was ugly.

"Er, what the hell do you want to say?"

Zhu Di squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, and now he believed what Yao Guangxiao said.

Gao Xu has really changed, and even he doesn't dare to recognize him.

In the past, even if he committed evil again, he didn't dare to talk about this kind of thing openly, but now he seems to be telling an ordinary thing.

Zhu Di can be sure that if the conversation between the two is known to his father, then both his father and son will inevitably be reprimanded, and even the subordinate officials of the palace and Zhuang Tian will be cut off.

"The kid is just saying this to give you a heads up......"

Seeing Zhu Di's reaction so violently, Zhu Gaoxu knew that Zhu Di really had no idea of rebelling at the moment.

Without Zhu Yunwen's step-by-step pressing, there would be no Yongle Emperor behind.

The current Zhu Di is just a Yan King who is content with the status quo......

After finding out Zhu Di's situation, what Zhu Gaoxu is thinking about now is how to alleviate the problems on the road to Jingjing for Zhu Di, so as not to get the embarrassing situation of 800 troops in the back.

Eight hundred soldiers are difficult, this fault tolerance rate is too small, and if Zhu Di is not careful, he may be dealt with by Zhu Yunwen.

In history, Zhu Di can, it doesn't mean that he can also be in this time and space.

The best opportunity is when Zhu Yunwen deposes the king of Zhou as a concubine, and Zhu Di can still control nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Beiping City and Yanfu.

No matter how bad it is, it can also be when he is monitored in the palace and the three guards of the Yan Mansion are transferred to Tongzhou.

If it was really like that in history, the three guards of Yanfu were all transferred to Kaiping Guard, which was seven or eight hundred miles away, and only Zhu Di was left with eight hundred guards, and when Zhang Yu and others completely controlled Beiping City, it would be too difficult.

"You're drunk, go get some rest early!"

Zhu Di's face was black, and he left the wooden house with his legs raised, and the figure seemed to be fleeing.

Looking at his back, Zhu Gaoxu slowly got up and walked out of the wooden house, during which he saw Zhu Di's figure already far away, but he also saw several figures trotting towards him.

"Your Highness!"

A familiar voice came, and Zhu Gaoxu looked at it, but saw Lin Su and several very familiar faces.

"Your Highness!"

When the man approached, Zhu Gaoxu showed a smile on his face, dispelling the previous solemnity: "Good boy, I thought I would have to go south to see you!" ”

When Yang Zhan's face appeared, Zhu Gaoxu was still unhappy.

In addition to him, Zhu Gaoxu also met many brothers who had been transferred to Daning, Kaiping, and Liaodong.

Some of them are officials of 100 households, some are officials of 1,000 households, and some are commanders of Wei, in short, they are all doing well, which is enough for Zhu Gaoxu to be happy.

"Your Highness, we miss you so much!"

Lin Su said numbly, and Zhu Gaoxu also joked after hearing it: "I'm afraid you're not worried that I will swallow the grain of your field, right?" ”

"What's the matter if that little output is all given to His Highness?"

"That's right! Your Highness, just take it! ”

"Your Highness, you have lost some weight, you need to pay more attention to your body."

The ears were all familiar voices and words of concern, which made many worrying things in Zhu Gaoxu's heart swept away.

Right now, he just wants to be with his brothers for a long time, so he pulls Lin Su and Yang Zhan with his left and right hands: "Go!" Go to my cabin and sit down to drink wine and eat meat, and we will talk slowly......"

With Yang Zhan and Lin Su and a few others, he returned to his residence and asked Wang Yi to fetch some of the wild goods that Tang Cavalry had shot when he was patrolling the periphery.

Some of the wild ducks and wild birds were cleaned up and then made into six or seven plates of meat.

Sitting in the wooden house, Zhu Gaoxu ate while listening to Yang Zhan, Lin Su and others tell their own stories about their experiences after leaving him.

Due to the short time they left, Lin Su didn't have much to do, after all, the Kaiping Guards in winter were just training in the guards.

Compared with them, Yang Zhan has a lot of experience.

He started from his own trip to Yang Wen's army to fight against the Japanese, and then went to the sea to fight, surrounded the island, and completely annihilated the Japanese invaders, from Zhejiang to Fujian, encircled and suppressed Penghu and Liangguang Japanese invaders.

The farthest place he went to the Sansha area about the time of the later generations, and saw the clear blue water and many fish that could only be seen on the sea.

Sitting in his position, listening to Yang Zhan's experience, Zhu Gaoxu also thought of something in a flash of inspiration.

"Yang Zhan, when you went to those overseas islands, you saw mountains of guano piled up on some islands?"

"Guano?" Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's inquiry, Yang Zhan was stunned, but he quickly thought of some of the islands he saw when he traveled from Fujian to Guangdong, so he smiled and said, "Naturally." ”

"There are some farmers along the coast who can't go ashore to work and farm, so they go to the sea to dig up guano from these islands and sell them to farmers along the coast."

"However, their boat is too small, and sometimes when it encounters a storm, the ship will be destroyed and killed, and when I was chasing the Japanese invaders, I also rescued a few Tan households and asked the local government to register them."

Yang Zhan said what he had seen and heard, and Zhu Gaoxu also heard the familiar word Tanhu.

However, the matter of Tando can be put aside for now, and he is more concerned about the matter of guano.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to make fertilizer, but in his previous life, he had seen many news about island countries making a fortune from island guano, so he also went to search for it.

As a type of oviparous animal, birds have many natural predators on land. In order to survive, birds have to move away from the mainland and fly to remote islands. After hundreds of millions of years of migration, these islands have become almost bird islands, and the surface of the ground is covered with layers of guano.

Due to the island's environment, it is difficult to decompose and can be retained for many years.

These bird droppings, in addition to being rich in phosphorus, also contain more nitrogen, which can be said to be natural nitrogen fertilizers, which can be applied directly without fertilizer.

Since the Song Dynasty, coastal fishermen have mined some guano from the islands to fertilize crops, and later more and more people have found that it is difficult to find high-quality guano offshore.

However, although it is not possible in the near sea, there is still a lot of guano in the far sea.

Among the guano islands that Zhu Gaoxu himself knows, there are islands such as Dongsha, Xisha and Nansha.

Although not as abundant as the islands of the Pacific and South Atlantic, guano is sufficient for mining.

For example, in the middle of the Xisha Islands, during World War II, Japan plundered more than 200,000 tons of natural fertilizer in just a few years and transported it back to the mainland, meeting part of the shortage of fertilizer in Japan.

In the 50s, relying on manpower, a company in Guangdong also relied on more than 500 people to go to the island to mine fertilizer, and the annual output reached tens of thousands of tons at its peak, which was completely open-pit manual mining.

Zhu Gaoxu remembers that the natural fertilizer of these islands has not been mined until later generations, and more than five centimeters of natural fertilizer can be piled up on each island every ten years.

If these fertilizers can form an industrial chain, they can be used in agriculture in the Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the output of hundreds of thousands of tons of various types of natural fertilizers mined from the South China Sea by hand mining in the 50s, Zhu Gaoxu can also obtain no less than the output of the 50s from the South China Sea as long as the operation is done properly, and since no one has developed it, it is hoped that he will be able to obtain even more of it.

With an input of less than 100 catties per mu, hundreds of thousands of tons are enough to act on hundreds or even tens of millions of acres of cultivated land.

According to the price of agricultural fertilizer that Zhu Gaoxu learned from Nanjing, this industry alone can make Daming make a profit of no less than 300,000 yuan a year.

This may not sound like much, but as long as an industry is formed, the money will continue to be collected into the treasury without harming the interests of either party.

In the words of Zhu Gaoxu's meeting with the leaders in his previous unit, this is to make the cake bigger.

"300,000 runs, only a few thousand people need to be invested......"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but have a toothache in his heart when he thought that bird droppings in the South China Sea could bring such a big profit.

It's a pity that the place where he is in Jilin City, and he can't touch the South China Sea for the time being, otherwise this income alone can solve his current urgent needs.

"Your Highness, if you want, I can ask my father to write down these islands."

Yang Zhan looked at Zhu Gaoxu's strange expression, so he took the initiative to make this request.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu also put his thoughts back to reality, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, you let your father patrol more islands like this, and I will be useful in the future." ”

After he finished talking about this, he thought of what Yang Zhan said about the Tanhu.

He had learned a little about Tando in his previous life.

These people live on boats all year round, distributed in the Yangtze River, Liangguang and Fujian areas, and make a living from fishing, shipping and pearl diving.

Records about them have been written since the Jin Dynasty, but successive rulers have basically labeled them as lowly and have therefore been discriminated against by the coastal people.

They were not allowed to live on the shore, to participate in the imperial examinations, to marry Han people, and were often heavily taxed.

Since they could only live on water, they were poor and had no means to compete with the rulers.

If they want to escape their miserable fate, they can only hope that the ruling class will show mercy, but their fate has not changed in all dynasties.

During the Qing Dynasty, Yongzheng began to announce the abolition of the Tanhu people's lowly status during his reign, but there was no actual governance plan, and it was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations that it began to organize the Tanhu households to live ashore for the first time and build houses and schools for them, which was regarded as gradually eliminating the existence of the Tanhu.

For these discriminations, although Zhu Gaoxu has been in the Ming Dynasty for four years, he still does not understand.

In his view, tens of thousands of Tan households along the coast are indispensable human resources, whether they are immigrants or real borders, they can make a contribution.

"How about a group of people who live in a group and let them sail to the sea to collect guano?"

For a while, such a thought flashed through Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

In his opinion, it is doable, and the only thing that needs to be concerned is where to place them.

I have to write down this matter myself, and if I succeed in the future, I will take it out and implement it.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered in his heart, and then talked to Yang Zhan about what he had seen and heard in the south.

However, except for Tanhu and Guano Island, most of the other things Yang Zhan said were not much different from what Zhu Gaoxu knew.

In the final analysis, there are not too many national issues with regard to the transformation of land and the return of land to the people in the southwest, and some are only issues of class interests.

Although there are many toasts in the southwest, Zhu Gaoxu has already made arquebuses and cannons in Heishui City, as long as Jing Nan can succeed, he can choose a few generals and sweep all the way.

How to change the land and return to the stream? That is naturally the method of the afterlife.

Change it slightly, directly change it to 'beat the toast and divide the fields', and then the specific implementation of the policy can complete the land reform and return to the stream.

Of course, it is still a bit simplistic to summarize it in one sentence, and in fact many measures are needed.

Lao Zhu made the rich people in the world cause a backlash, and it is not easy to kill the world's toast.

It is not easy here, not because of how difficult Tusi is to deal with, but because we should worry about the group of squires and wealthy families within the Ming Dynasty.

If the Southwest Toast is solved, then what this group of squires and wealthy families think about is how to divide the wealth of the Southwest Toast.

As for the liberated people under Tusi's rule, even the Han people were not in their consideration.

Therefore, in the case of effectively expanding the territory, the biggest opponent faced by the emperor was not the Tusi and the enemy country, but his own squire and wealthy households.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang continued to migrate wealthy families to Yingtian and Fengyang, Zhu Gaoxu understood this.

Gathering the world's wealthy in Beijing will certainly allow them to get in touch with the powerful and get more political help, but if the rich move frequently enough, the wealth that the rich can gather is very limited.

Like Lao Zhu, every few years he migrated wealthy households to Beijing, and although these wealthy families had hundreds of acres of land, once they sold their land and entered the capital, they had to face all kinds of high expenditures in the capital.

Whether it's buying a new field or buying a house, it costs money and consumes their financial resources.

After doing all these things, how much food do they have left to win over officials?

Concentrate the world's rich families and temple officials and Beijing teachers, and then use Jinyi Wei to infiltrate, so that most of the world's squires and rich families are under his surveillance, and what they want to do, the emperor himself can clearly understand.

As long as it can be clear and clear, you can use the tricks to solve the problems one by one.

The wealthy families who have been relocated to Beijing over the years have been politically purged by Lao Zhu while building relationships with the powerful.

The wealthy families who took refuge in western Zhejiang and Huaixi who entered Beijing have already changed their identities and have been sent to the wild land of Biansai as criminals.

After they entered the city of Nanjing, all the farmhouses and houses they bought were also pocketed by Lao Zhu, waiting for the next batch of wealthy families to move in.

It's just a pity that Zhu Gaoxu met Lao Zhu in his twilight years, and he couldn't see how Lao Zhu rectified this group of people.

The wealthy families who migrated to Nanjing last year may have escaped by luck.

The more he knows Lao Zhu, the more Zhu Gaoxu is afraid of him, having such a person is a good thing for the order of the Ming Dynasty, but not for himself.

I have done too many things, especially when it comes to forging artillery and muskets, secretly recruiting soldiers in private, etc.

Lao Zhu lives a long time is good for him, but living too long is a bad thing for him now......

"How?"

"As you expected......"

When Zhu Gaoxu was still catching up with Yang Zhan and them, recalling the horror of Zhu Yuanzhang himself, Zhu Di, who was frightened by him, also returned to the wooden house where he was resting.

Here, Yao Guangxiao, who was dressed in a black robe, had been waiting for a long time, and he could also see from Zhu Di's expression that there might be something secret between their father and son.

Zhu Di, who returned to the wooden house, sat on the stool next to Yao Guangxiao, he looked around, but he always felt unsafe, so he got up and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Accompany me to the city wall." ”

The city wall has a wide view, and there is no situation where the partition wall has ears, so it is a good place to talk about things.

In this regard, Yao Guangxiao didn't ask anything, just walked out of the wooden house with Zhu Di, and walked on the wall of Wuliang Ha Bald City after a word.

"You don't have to follow, I have something to say with Dao Yan."

Walking on the road, Zhu Di explained to the more than ten guards who followed behind him, and now he doesn't believe anyone except Dao Yan and Zhu Neng.

Through his actions, Yao Guangxiao determined one thing, that is, Zhu Gaoxu may really say something great to Zhu Di.

"Old monk, let's go......"

Zhu Di greeted him, solemnly took Yao Guangxiao to a section of the horse road where there was no one around, and then told Yao Guangxiao what Zhu Gaoxu said in the wooden hall.

For a while, Yao Guangxiao's movement of calculating the Buddha beads in his hand stopped, obviously he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be so bold.

He and Zhu Di looked at each other, and both of them had worries in their eyes.

Both of them are human spirits, so they can naturally hear the hidden meaning of Zhu Gaoxu's words.

To put it mildly, Zhu Gaoxu wanted Zhu Di to protect himself.

But to get to the point, Zhu Gaoxu is more likely to want Zhu Di to rebel.

Yao Guangxiao always felt that he could anticipate the enemy's opportunities, and he also guessed that Zhu Gaochu was hiding many secrets, but he never thought that Zhu Gaochu would actually instigate Zhu Di to hold the army to self-respect, and even raise troops to rebel.

"Second Highness......

Yao Guangxiao wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing what to say.

Even he didn't think about rebellion in Hongwu.

The rule of Hongwu has not passed, and the real dragon is still lying in Nanjing, even if it is old, it is enough to deter the Quartet.

Yao Guangxiao could probably guess Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts, which was nothing more than taking this opportunity to control Guo Ying, Yang Wen, Wu Gao, Liu Zhen, Bu Wan, and Ping'an, and then contact Fu Rang and Chen Heng, and then completely control the Sandu Division.

What can you do if you just take down these people and Sandu Division?

In the northwest, there are Song Sheng, who is not inferior to Feng Sheng, Deng Yu and others, and there are Mu Chun and He Fu in Yunnan who are powerful in the southwest, as well as Qu Neng's father and son who killed the Quartet in western Sichuan.

Even if you don't count the southwest, Yingtian still has Li Jinglong, Ning Zhong, Chen Xuan and others.

In addition, many old ministers from the Hongwu period are still alive, such as Yu Tongyuan, who went on an expedition to Qu Lianhe, and Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, who was training troops in Shaanxi......

Thinking of this group of people, Yao Guangxiao didn't think that his side had a chance of winning.

He didn't know what kind of stimulation Zhu Gaoxu had received, and he would actually think of doing such a thing when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.

Of course, he knows Zhu Di better.

He knows very well that Zhu Di has no two hearts, and his biggest dream is nothing more than to defend in Beiping, and to be able to lead the troops on an expedition to Mobei, leaving a strong mark in the history books.

persuaded Zhu Di to rebel, I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu didn't know Zhu Di at all......

"What is Your Highness going to do?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di, but Zhu Di hesitated.

In other words, if Zhu Jixi let Zhu Li rebel, or Zhu Shangbing let Zhu Fan rebel, then no matter whether these two people want to ascend to the throne or not, they will tie up their son as soon as possible, and then plead guilty.

It's just that this kind of thing is difficult to happen to Zhu Di.

"The second one...... Actually, it's a secret that I talk to him, and no one will find out about it, so it should be fine......"

He said this very weakly, because he didn't know whether the conversation between the two just now was safe, but he didn't want Zhu Gaoxu to bury the future, after all, it was his son.

"So, the poor monk knows."

Yao Guangxiao bowed his head, and he was inexplicably curious about Zhu Gaoxu in his heart.

He originally thought that Zhu Gaochu didn't know Zhu Di, but now it seems that Zhu Gaochu expected that Zhu Di would not deal with him, so he dared to boldly persuade Zhu Di to support his own army.

But if he understands Zhu Di, then why would he let Zhu Di support his own troops, he should know that Zhu Di would not do this.

He is in such a hurry, what is he anxious about?

Could it be that the one in the south is really dying?

The grandson in the south, is he really not going to use the perfect "Theory of Cutting Domains"?

For a while, Yao Guangxiao had a lot of thoughts, and there were too many problems born in his mind, but they couldn't explain them reasonably.

"Now that I think about it, the second child may not plan to continue to go north, otherwise he wouldn't have brought three thousand horsemen over."

Zhu Di sighed, but Yao Guangxiao frowned after hearing this, he looked around, and saw that on the arrow towers around the city, all the people standing were the Bohai Navy under Zhu Gaoxu, and the fluttering flags were mostly the Vermilion Bird Flags of the Bohai Sea.

"Old monk, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao, whose face was becoming increasingly ugly, but Yao Guangxiao grabbed Zhu Di's hand: "Your Highness, you can't live in this Wuliang Ha Bald City. ”

"Why?" Zhu Di was puzzled, it was very comfortable to live in this city, although he liked to live in tents, but he had lived there for more than half a month along the way, and it was good to improve.

"Look around......"

Yao Guangxiao spoke, and Zhu Di looked around, and gradually his mood became heavy.

"Let's go!" Without a moment's hesitation, Zhu Di pulled Yao Guangxiao and walked under the road.

After a short time, he took Yao Guangxiao and the guards to the south gate of Wuliang Ha Bald City, but when they were about to leave, a hundred household officials stopped them.

"Your Highness, please show your departure token!"

The small Baihu official, but at this moment, when he knew Zhu Di's identity, openly asked him for a camp token, which was the first time Zhu Di had encountered such a thing since the death of his father-in-law Xu Daxue.

"I am King Yan, the father of your Royal Highness!"

"The last general knows, please show your highness the departure token......"

Zhu Di opened his mouth with a dark face, but the hundred household officials were neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Highness has already explained, after the unitary time, everyone needs to leave the camp token when they go out of the city, including His Royal Highness himself, please His Royal Highness King Yan don't embarrass the last general." ”

"Good!" Hearing this person's words, Zhu Di also lost his temper and asked with a cold black face: "What is your name?" ”

"Zhaozhou Chengtang rides a hundred household officials, Gan Yue!"

"Bohai Chronicle": "On the occasion of May Bingchen, Taizong went out of the city privately and was unsuccessful, and he was displeased"

"Ming Shizong Record": "Bingchen, Taizong patrolled the city of Wuliang Ha, trained the soldiers, and his soldiers were sharp soldiers, praise it"
