"Erchen bows to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The day after Zhu Zhanyan arrived in Beijing, he came to Wuying Hall early in the morning to say goodbye.

The action of kneeling and singing was done in one go, so that Zhu Gaoxu, who was dealing with the recital, glanced at him, and said coldly: "The rules are the same as before, don't kneel." ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyan hurriedly got up, and Yizhan also smiled and personally brought a chair for him.

After he sat down, Zhu Gaoxu slowly spoke:

"This time, let you go north with your grandfather, you should watch and learn more along the way, don't underestimate the enemy, don't think that you can deal with a few rangers and stragglers, and don't take the enemy seriously."

"Strategically, you can despise the enemy, but you must not despise the enemy in every part and on every specific issue, understand?"

Now Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhan Kun and others all live in it, and there are more than 2,200 palace maids and eunuchs serving them, but they are all from the inside.

In other words, the doctors trained by Daming every year can at most meet the needs of eleven or twelve prefecture-level hospitals.

It is indeed rare for my father to be frugal with himself, but not to ask others to be thrifty.

Of course, this so-called thrift is just a comparison with the royal family and the prince, if you compare it with the people, then Zhu Gaoxu's food is also excellent.

"The Northeast has to face North Korea, with a population of more than 4 million, and Japan, with a population of more than 12 million, and this pressure is too great, and it needs to be at least tripled on the current basis to solve the problem."

In the dialogue between the two sides, time passed unconsciously, and the carriage they were riding in also drove out of Xizhimen and slowly drove towards the Daming Palace in the northwest.

Seeing that his father was so disoptimistic about himself, Zhu Zhanyan was embarrassed.

Zhu Di's voice fell, and Zhu Gaochi dissuaded him as always: "Dad, you are already fifty-eight, why don't you let Wang Yi, Meng Zhang, and Zhu Neng lead the troops this time." ”

"Just because you've learned from books doesn't mean you can use it." Zhu Gaoxu snorted lightly:

"Throughout the ages, how many high-minded Confucian scholars have discussed war, and how many of them can really go to the battlefield to fight?"

Such as Weiyuan, Mengding, Menglian, Cheli and other Tusi were all broken and rebuilt, and the number of young people who were surrendered was nearly one million.

"Add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and you and Ma He will sit down and eat."

It's just that in comparison, the current medical environment and sanitary environment are much better than those in the Hongwu period, so the infant mortality rate in urban areas will decline.

There are as many as four or five hundred new students in each school, and as few as two or three hundred, and there are only more than 4,000 students who can graduate every year, of which less than one-third can become doctors, and the remaining two-thirds fail the basic examination, and they need to return to the hospital to study and retake the examination after three years of working as a local medical nurse.

"The current emperor is the second child, and the second child didn't persuade me, what do you advise."

"If the hospital can be fully promoted in the future, then the population increase of the imperial court may be very terrifying."

"In this case, Your Highness should be able to understand, right?"

"The paper is full of open land, and I forget all the mountains in one go, and once I get to the battlefield, nine out of ten will be thin."

"Hmm......" Seeing that he couldn't persuade the old man, Zhu Gaochi could only nod his head abruptly.

Nowadays, there are only two capitals and fifteen political departments in the Ming Dynasty, and only two capitals and Shenyang, Jilin, Xi'an, Henan, Taiyuan, Hangzhou, Nanchang, and Jiaozhi have a systematic five-year medical school.

"In addition, Your Majesty advocates frugality, so the annual consumption of Beijing Palace City is only more than 400,000 guan, counting the 200,000 guan maintained by Nanjing, there are still more than 1.8 million guan at your disposal."

Zhu Di's current state is very suitable to describe as radiant and full of energy.

"Grandpa, you're in good health......"

Zhu Zhan sighed a few times, and Zheng He bowed his head and said: "With the current situation of the imperial court, it is better to have a larger population, and if it continues to be maintained, I am afraid that even the existing territory will not be able to hold on in the future." ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhu Di was laughed at by the old man, and Zhu Gaosui and the others next to him lowered their heads and remained silent, only Zhu Zhan looked around.

However, based on the economy alone, Nanjing still needs to compete with Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the speed of population recovery is not fast.

Moreover, he often talked with Wang Yan about Mobei, and he had heard a little about the situation in Mobei.

At the first glance of Daming Palace, Zhu Zhanyan's reaction was too big, and then it was necessary to maintain it.

As a result, most of the Tusi directly under the jurisdiction of Yunnan have been changed to the soil, and only a small Tusi hidden in the mountains has not been changed to the Liuliu.

Yisha brought the tea, Zhu Gaoxu took it and took a sip, and then continued:

"The Sixth Department of the Imperial Decree and the Yunnan Political Envoy Department have changed the names of places in southern Yunnan, which is the map I have drawn, and I will subdivide the provinces according to this map."

At present, there are only about forty in Fucheng, which has hospitals.

More than half of the young people migrated to Kunming, Qujing and other prefectures, and the rest stayed in the local area, waiting for the Han people to migrate in the future to assimilate.

The mountains and lakes in the city are sparkling, and some people take boats to fish on the lake, and these fresh fish will be made into delicacies and sent to the Heart Cultivation Hall as soon as possible.

"If it weren't for your weak body, I really wanted to drag you to Mobei for a walk and see how you are now!"

Zhu Zhanyan didn't open the pot, Zhu Di glanced at him when he heard the words: "Oily tone, eat well, and a little grandpa will arrange something for you and your eldest brother to do." ”

Zhu Zhan said hello, and then walked into the hall with Zheng He.

However, the problem is that there are already many ethnic minorities in the so-called hinterland.

"If you are defeated, I have only one request for you, kill yourself immediately, don't be captured and disgusted with me."

Now that his father still lives in the Forbidden City, and he still needs to maintain the Forbidden City in Nanjing, how much money and food can be left to the Daming Palace?

"Your Highness returned to the palace this time, didn't you find that there were many fewer people in the palace?"

"Dad, do you really want to do it yourself?"

"If the Hecheng train envisaged by the Emperor Taishang can be repaired until Hulan suddenly loses temperature, then the imperial court can mine deposits from Mobei, transport them into the customs by railway and the Nuwen River, and then buy grain and transport it to Mobei."

At such a close distance, he had time to observe his grandfather.

In addition to the fish catch, there is also a pasture of more than 1,000 acres in the city, in which cattle and sheep are raised for slaughter.

"Grandpa, uncle, third uncle, eldest brother, brother ......"

During this period, Zhu Gaochi asked him how he and Mu were developing and how their relationship was, like a long-tongued woman who liked to gossip.

In this way, it is the result of Daming's continuous promotion to primary school graduates and middle school graduates.

"Naturally, it's old!" Zhu Zhanyan blurted out, but added: "But the body is still strong, not to mention anything else, at least stronger than the uncle and the third uncle......

Riding through the square paved with gold bricks, and then through the tall and wide corridor, Buyu stopped in front of a palace in a short time.

As for Huguang, after receiving the young people of Guizhou, the local proportion also reached the limit.

Although the Ming Dynasty has begun to promote prefecture-level hospitals, there are more than 200 prefectures in the Ming Dynasty, and each prefecture needs at least 150 doctors, and no less than 400 medical staff.

"Does my grandfather still have any money?" Zhu Zhanyan asked about this practical question, after all, the income of the internal treasury was mainly the 2 million yuan allocated by the household department and the income of the newspaper.

After making a series of adjustments, Zhu Gaoxu put down the pen and rubbed his brows.

As for Cheli Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu did not change the place name, after all, the place name of later generations is also the name of the Chinese translation of Dai language, and there is no Han place name in the local area, so it is really difficult to modify the whole text.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanqi has a lively temperament, and in the face of Zhu Gaochi's words, he can not only answer, but also ask him questions from time to time to argue.

Zheng He kept comforting Zhu Zhanyan, and at the same time did not forget to warn him.

Although hundreds of thousands of people have migrated to Guangdong, the number of local minority and Han people is only half of them.

"However, for this place, it is possible to follow the example of Taizu to govern Yunnan and set up guards in the important mountain passes of Sanxuan and Ten Comforts, so as to facilitate the imperial court to change the local land and return to the stream in the future."

"With these, my Han family will be able to take root in Mobei and resist the Mongols to the west of Jinshan (Altai Mountain)."

"Yunnan can't bear it in a short period of time, let alone three propaganda and ten comforts?"

"So slow?" Zhu Zhanyan actually felt that the population growth was very slow, which made Zheng He say:

"Before His Majesty did not promote the hospital, the premature mortality rate of the people of the dynasty was not low, and even now, the premature mortality rate hovered around 20%."

Thinking of this, Zheng He and Zhu Zhanyan continued to communicate.

Among the more than 4 million people in Sichuan, nearly half are young people who have migrated from Guizhou and Xifan.

"Erchen's body is weak and can't be pulled, but you can't compare it with Erchen's weak body." Zhu Gao's teeth are sharp and sharp.

"The area of Sanxuan and Ten Comforts is larger than that of Yunnan, and the population of it is only a lot more than that of Yunnan."

"Besides, Your Majesty also ordered that others are not allowed to help you, so it is better for you to be decent in this northern expedition, and it is not a small number to be able to bring a hundred people."

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had eaten and drunk enough, and Zhu Di said to Zhu Zhanyan: "You and your eldest brother have been inspecting the arsenal and armory for me in the past few days, according to the time, we should set off in March, and there is still more than a month to go." ”

"Although there are nearly five million people in the Northeast, compared to the territory of the Northeast, these five million people are too widely dispersed and difficult to connect in series."

"What does that mean?" Zhu Di grabbed the beard and said with a cold face:

Yizha put away the map and asked curiously, but Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.

"Grandpa, my father is just worried about you, if you want to go, we can't stop you."

It's not that Mobei has no resources, it's just that the Ming Dynasty can't mine and can't transport.

The circumference of the palace of Daming Palace is six miles, the city is two zhang high, one zhang eight feet thick, and the city is guarded by Wang Cong, Chen Wu and others of the left and right guards of Yanshan.

"Your Majesty allocates 1.5 million guan to Daming Palace every year, leaving only more than 300,000 guan to Miyagi."

"So big?"

"Huh!" Zhu Zhanyan responded, and then buried his head in eating.

Not to mention fifty, even forty-five, there are people who believe in this state.

This palace is not big, after all, there is no need to go to court.

"The number of young people in Yunnan has not yet been counted, but it will not be less than four million."

Facing Zhu Zhanyan's question, Zheng He chuckled and said, "Almost 850,000 yuan." ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi with a cold face: "I'm only fifty-eight, I can still eat three bowls of rice and pull a nine-bucket bow, you are younger than me, see if you can pull a nine-bucket bow?" ”

Zheng He was very open-minded, but he also persuaded: "In this northern expedition, the slaves and maids will follow the Emperor Taishang, so Your Highness, there will be no one to help you." ”

"You just have to remember things, and if you can't do it, you can let someone else do it for you."

"If millions of people can be migrated into the southwest, the imperial court may be able to further reform the land and return to the three Xuan and ten comforts."

"It's normal, it's hard for a number of people like Your Majesty to come out for a hundred years, if you want him to look down on others, others have to show real feats."

Although the construction of the Daming Palace is not as expensive as the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace, the landscape in the Daming Palace is also a must, otherwise the Summer Palace would not be located here.

"Erchen didn't mean that......" Zhu Gaochi hurriedly got up and made a move.

He first appeased Zhu Di, then turned to Zhu Gaochi and said, "Dad, don't worry, this time with me and Zhan Yan watching, nothing will happen to grandpa." ”

But after all, he has been attacked for half his life, and Zhu Gaochi doesn't feel anything, but cheekily continues:

"If you really go, the ministers will go there, and if something happens, then there will be a response."

"If you can bring these 100 people well, you can bring 1,000 people later, 10,000 people......"

"For example, in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, there are more than three or four million people in the land, and more than one million people in the land, while the Han people are more than two million and hundreds of thousands."

Zheng He had a smile on his face: "Is it as I said?" ”

Fu Rang withdrew his troops and returned to Jiaozhi to continue the encirclement and suppression of Li Li in the long mountains.

In order to facilitate recollection, Zhu Gaoxu copied many place names in Yunnan in later generations, such as Pu'er and Lincang.

"When I came back yesterday, it was a curfew at night, but now I haven't seen it for half a year, and Beijing is much more prosperous."

In the face of these natives, the three of them all had the same opinion, that is, to move them to the interior before they could settle down.

With such a scale, there is no need to let the three princes sit in the local area, so after making arrangements, Zhu Gaoxu also made adjustments to the situation in Daming.

Seeing this, Zhu Di also put a smile on his face again, and continued to discuss many things about the Northern Expedition with them.

Transferred Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Xunzhou Bo Shengyong, and Qingyuan Bo Liu Zhen to Ganzhou, the headquarters town of Gansu.

"Of course, this matter has to wait for Yunnan to settle down before making a decision, and the most important thing now is to digest Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Jiaozhi."

"Xuan!"

"Besides, not to mention the south, the same is true to the north."

"Did you hear that?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something more when he heard this, but Zhu Zhanji stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, ...... tea"

However, as long as the Northwest Railway is completed, this phenomenon can be improved.

"If you want to compare, you should also compare with Zhu Neng and Er, they are the generals who go to the battlefield."

Seeing Zhu Zhanyan nodding, he explained: "Her Royal Highness the Empress has controlled the number of palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City at 1,500, and the number of cooks is only 1,700. ”

He habitually called Zheng He Ma He, and Zhu Zhanyan also returned the salute when he heard the words, and then followed Zheng He to take a seat.

After all, Zheng He and Zhu Di have fought in the grassland for more than ten years, and although he doesn't know much about the situation in Mobei, he still knows very well about the situation hundreds of miles north from Kaipingwei.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see ......"

Zhu Zhanyan sat in the carriage and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the wide street, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's just that in this era when the population is not allowed to travel at will, Nanjing's population recovery rate has been among the best.

Zhu Zhan quit the Wuying Hall with a weak heart, and when he came to the outside of the hall, he saw Zheng He who came to pick him up.

But your uncle is your uncle after all, after a few exchanges, Zhu Zhanyan finally said that Zhu Gaochi couldn't do it, so he could only bury his head in eating to relieve the embarrassment.

After the investigation, Zhu Zhan got off the carriage, walked into the palace, and took the prepared Buyu to the Yang Xin Hall of Daming Palace.

It can be said that in the eyes of most students, doctors may be a good profession, but in the context of the whole era, doctors are the profession of the middle and ninth rate.

"As for Yan Ran Dusi, needless to say, although it nominally controls the eastern part of Mobei and the southern part of the desert, the only places with Han people are Kaiping and Hailaer, and the two cities are mainly military border fortresses, and the total number of people living in them does not exceed 50,000."

"There are many open-pit deposits in Mobei, but they cannot be mined due to lack of manpower."

When this kind of spirit reaches the battlefield, it will suffer a big loss.

"Huh! You kid ......" Zhu Gaosui lay down inexplicably, and immediately looked at Zhu Zhanyan, but because Zhu Di was present, it was not easy to teach this kid a lesson.

"Zheng Daban, I really let you say it, my father really looks down on me." Zhu Zhanyan awkwardly touched his upper lip, which did not have a beard.

"If you are greedy and chew more, you can chew what you can chew first, and then it's not too late to further arrange the three declarations and ten comforts."

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu finally decided to relocate the local young people.

"Dad, you don't want to say that......"

After a while, a "city" located between two lakes slowly became clear from afar.

This is just like the current Shanxi, Shanxi's coal mines are enough to meet the needs of all the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era, but due to the inconvenient transportation and low coal profits, it is difficult to transport coal out of Shanxi.

Zhu Gaoxu asked with a sideways look, and Zhu Zhanyu hurriedly laughed: "Dad, don't worry, Erchen understands these truths and has learned them in books." ”

"How much does it cost to maintain such a large city?"

"Huh...... The retainers retired. ”

There are gardens, palaces, wetlands, lakes, and rivers in the city, which can be said to be a quiet little world.

"After Yunnan changes its land and returns to the river, the next step should be three propaganda and ten comforts, right?"

After sorting out a processed notebook, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Go to your grandfather." ”

"If you want to assimilate this place, you have to move at least two or three million more people, which is something that will take several generations to do before the train is built."

"Zheng Daban, how many people and how much arable land do you say I have in the Ming Dynasty now?"

Since the relocation of the capital to the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing's political position has plummeted, and only the economic position is still very heavy.

Although he was already fifty-eight, his hair was jet black on the whole, except for a few gray hairs on his temples.

Zhu Zhanyan walked down to fish, and there was also a singing sound in the hall.

When Zhu Zhan was still immersed in his memories, their carriage also came to the gate of Daming Palace.

Not to mention Cochin, the local Hermes-Epitek has not exceeded one million so far, and the few people are more than twice as many as the Hermes-Epitek.

Walking into it, Zhu Zhanyu saw Zhu Di sitting at the table, as well as Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji and others sitting on the side.

More than half a month has passed, and the progress of Fu Rang, Mu Chun, and Li Jinglong can be described as rapid.

Zheng He's words are a little scary, but they are true.

As for his father's frugality, he has known since he was a child, anyway, in his impression, there are basically no more than five meals sent to the Spring and Harmony Palace.

In comparison, the meals in the Qianqing Palace and the Qianqing Palace are basically about a dozen and seven or eight dishes.

The eunuch on duty got a response, turned sideways to give up his position, and made a gesture to Zhu Zhanyan.

Zhu Di's voice was full of anger, not at all like the old and sick appearance in the edict.

Out of the scope of the imperial city, the bustling inner city of Beijing was also seen by Zhu Zhanqi for half a year.

"Bastard!" Zhu Di said again: "Do you think the old man is too emperor now, so I came to play prestige?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan suddenly asked Zheng He, Zheng He was stunned when he heard this, and then pondered for a moment before saying: "Although the document has not been published, if you count the population of the southwest who have changed land and returned to the stream, it should exceed 90 million, and as for the cultivated land, it should be less than 700 million mu." ”

Mu Chun continued to sit in Yunnan, but since western and northern Yunnan were relatively stable, Zhu Gaoxu suggested that Mu Chun sit in Shiping or Jianshui to deal with the rebellion of the young people in southern Yunnan at any time.

It doesn't seem like much, but when you look at more than 200 prefectures, it seems like a lot.

Zheng He did not answer directly, but asked Zhu Zhanyan directly.

The Daming Palace, which cost millions of dollars, has not yet been completely completed, but half of the buildings have been completed.

"If there are 2 million babies this year, about 400,000 will die before the first birthday, and the remaining 1.6 million will probably live to adulthood 1.2 or 300 million."

Zhu Di's temper came up and began to attack him personally, but Zhu Gaochi was indeed a little fat, and his fat was simply fat, not Zhu Di, Zhu Gaosui, and Zhu Zhanji's strong.

At this rate, it will take at least 20 years for Daming's medical treatment to cover all the prefectures, and there are more than 1,700 county towns under the prefectures......

Zhu Zhan Yan bowed his head when he heard this, and finally went to the Daming Palace outside the city under the guidance of Zheng He.

Not long after, Zhu Zhanyu and Zhu Zhanji were sent to inspect the arsenal, and at the same time, Zhu Gaoxu also got a lot of good news.

After all, he has studied since he was a child, although he is not as good as those Confucian students in terms of etiquette, but Zhu Zhanyan can be regarded as the group of people in the clan who know how to be polite.

Because of this, Zhu Di pointed his finger at him: "Zhan Yu, do you say that grandpa is not old?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was unceremonious to Zhu Zhanyan, he felt that Zhu Zhanyan just had a heart and felt that he was not losing in everything.

Zheng He explained, Zhu Zhanyan was clear.

"I don't have much hope for you on this northern expedition, as long as you can take a hundred households with you, don't let people help."

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and looked at the music in front of him, a little worried.

"Twenty years, twenty years is enough time to ......"
