Chapter 216 The Future of Ming Dynasty, Summer Offensive!

The west side of the village.

Zhu Xiongying ran ahead chasing a grasshopper.

"Heroes, watch your steps." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shouted as a reminder, glancing at Zhu Di who was following him from the corner of his eye, "You want to breed, farm, and set up home textiles. There are only so many people in Tuqiao Village, how can you be busy? "

The goddam fourth child had already taken him to visit the pig house in Tuqiao Village and the small chicken and duck pen built near the lotus pond to the east.

According to the godfather, the chickens and ducks they raise will mainly rely on fresh grass, as well as small fish, loaches, and eels from lotus ponds and paddy fields.

And after the autumn harvest, the unfull grain should be used rationally.

…

Piece by piece, Tuqiao Village has a lot to do.

He also worked as a farmer.

It is clear that if a family of five has livestock, it can take care of fifty acres of land, but without livestock, it is very difficult to take care of twenty acres of land.

The stalls in Tuqiao Village are too big.

…

"Father, the farmers in the rural community are different from the farmers you used to be." Zhu Di explained with a smile: "The rural community organizes the people to solve problems. The farmers work in family units and fight alone. The problem of low strength..."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang was at the edge of the field, took off his boots, walked into the field with his bare feet and boots in hand.

Walking between Mailong and looking carefully...

This land has just been hoeed, and the weeds have been removed very cleanly.

The soil is soft and comfortable to step on with bare feet.

'It seems that the assessment method formulated by the Fourth Brother and his friends is very effective. There is no cheating, at least no blatant or rogue behavior. ’

He had been a farmer and knew that in the countryside, there were some things that were too much to help.

…

Zhu Di followed patiently, with a slight smile on his lips.

He knew what the old man was doing.

Due to human nature, in some villages with bad village customs, cheating and cheating are inevitable.

But as long as a reasonable and relatively complete reward and punishment mechanism is formulated, we can ensure that everyone at least does a decent job.

Just like Tuqiao Village, the beginning of the establishment of the rural village community.

Provisions were made for cheating and cheating.

Families that complete tasks well will get more dividends.

If a certain family commits adultery and causes dissatisfaction among many villagers, they can convene a village meeting, and more than 50% will agree.

Just return the original share capital and kick them out of the rural community.

Nothing in this world is perfect, it's just a matter of weighing the pros and cons.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xiongying, who was still chasing the grasshopper not far away, "You continue, we listen."

"Father, what is the most valuable thing about the countryside?" Zhu Di asked.

‘You even passed the exam for us! ’

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced angrily, "Land and population, Dad was a weakling in the early years, and now he stands at the level of the emperor. This problem is not difficult for us!"

Zhu Di nodded and smiled, "But all dynasties have never fully utilized the two elements of land and population."

“The purpose of rural village cooperatives is to guide farmers to organize themselves so that they can make full and reasonable use of the resources produced by the land and create value.”

"A single farmer cannot afford to buy cattle..."

Even if you can afford it, it will cause a waste of resources.

One plowing ox can cultivate at least one hundred acres of land in one spring.

A family can only have forty or fifty acres at most.

But as long as you feed the cattle, you have to eat them every day, whether you work or not.

Individual farmers cannot afford to purchase all-iron farm tools...

There are too many similar questions...

"Didn't my father advocate that the emperor and the people rule the world together? It goes without saying that these words should go without saying. We only need to guide the farmers to organize local village communities on a village-by-village basis, and at the appropriate time, let go of the farmers' production and management margins... "

When the economic status of farmers is improved, and it is improved individually, the social status will be greatly improved.

There is no need for the court to mention anything about co-ruling the world with the people.

There is no need to emphasize scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

For example, although business is regarded as a lowly industry.

But among the businessmen of all dynasties, which one is despicable? Ten thousand times better than farmers!

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully.

He thought that if rural village communes could really spread throughout the world, farmers would stand on three sides, local officials and the gentry.

But he didn't expect that this coincided with his advocacy of co-ruling the world with the people.

"What do you mean by production and operation margin?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Di was a little nervous and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

The old man likes to formulate rules and regulations, hoping to solve them once and for all.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be crazy about formulating so many subdivided household registrations.

In the end, when a rural village cooperative develops, it must be a small commercial economy with farmers as the organization and rural land as the factor of production.

Such small economies will be dotted in every corner of Ming Dynasty.

Create huge economic output value at the same time.

It will also promote the Ming Dynasty's budding transition from a small-scale peasant economy to industrial and commercial capital, without bloodshed, cruelty, and gentleness.

This germination takes time.

But ordinary people like Uncle Ba will be the biggest beneficiaries of this budding movement.

Moreover, the lives of Lao Zhu’s family will not be destroyed.

Unless the emperor of Lao Zhu's family seeks death, bans and destroys rural village organizations, and does not allow farmers to expand the margins of production and operation.

'Why! ’

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di's hesitation and thought in his eyes and sighed silently.

‘Now the bastard Old Four should think twice before speaking to us from the bottom of his heart. ’

He regretted it even more for a moment, glaring and yelling: “Just say whatever you want to say! You dare to do it, but you don’t dare to say it!”

He was in a bad mood and spoke loudly.

Zhu Xiongying, who was catching grasshoppers, was startled and looked up.

Zhu Di took a deep breath secretly, “Father, the production and operation margin is textile and breeding... We planted cotton this year and plan to weave 300 pieces of cloth...”

The villagers who tasted the profit of buying cloth.

Actually wanted to plant more cotton.

Directly weave 1,000 pieces of cloth.

But he stopped them.

1,000 pieces are too many.

The farmers were doing small things and doing some commercial operations on the edge, and the old man and the court turned a blind eye.

If Jinling City knew that they produced 1,000 pieces of cloth a year.

No one knew what kind of reaction it would cause.

…

"Textile and breeding are small-scale, and the court can turn a blind eye. Once the scale is large, can the court relax the restrictions on farmers? Allow the rural villages to freely expand the production and operation margins?"

Zhu Di secretly observed Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

It looks okay.

Continued: "In the future, the rural villages will be extended to the whole country, and the rural villages will inevitably participate in other production and operations. For example, the village is the unit, and the grain grown in the countryside is milled and ground in the countryside, and rice shops are opened directly in nearby cities. The intermediate link of local gentry as grain merchants is eliminated, and the people will earn more. The bran produced by rice milling and flour milling can be reasonably used by the rural villages..."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

After the rural villages are extended to the whole country, farmers will definitely take the initiative to explore and find various ways to make money in order to make money.

It's like directly milling rice, grinding flour, and directly opening a rice shop.

This is still conceivable.

He can be sure that in the future, countless farmers will be able to think of various ways to make money in order to live a good life.

In this way, farmers can no longer be defined simply by farming.

This is why the bastard Lao Si hesitated and thought.

It will definitely have an impact on the existing rules of the Ming Dynasty.

But he can also imagine it.

If the development is really carried out according to Lao Si's idea, the countryside will be extremely prosperous.

The Ming Dynasty will also be extremely prosperous.

There will be more wealth than now.

It will not flow to local gentry and powerful people in large quantities.

In general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his thoughts, glanced at Zhu Di, and said in a calm tone: "You do it first. I am not an old stubborn. Weigh the pros and cons. If the pros outweigh the disadvantages, I will support it."

Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he had seen a ghost.

'Did the old man take the wrong medicine? '

He was ready for the old man to fiercely resist the local village community.

Hum!

'What kind of look is this! Damn it! '

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted in anger and wanted to curse, but he suppressed it in the end.

If he continued to scold, I'm afraid I wouldn't say anything from the bottom of my heart to him.

I've seen what I should see and asked what I should ask. At least now I know what I want to know.

He looked up at the sun, "Xiongying, go home!"

After saying that, he left Zhu Di in a daze with a dark face, sulked, walked quickly to the edge of the field, put on his shoes, and walked away with Zhu Xiongying in his arms, regardless of the mud on his feet.

Zhu Xiongying climbed on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and shouted, "Fourth Uncle, go home!"

Zhu Di came back to his senses, smiled and waved.

While quickly following, he shook his head and muttered, "I must have taken the wrong medicine!"

Whether from history or his own experience over the past year or so, the old man's words just now were quite scary.

He didn't look like the old man he knew at all.

In the end, he still didn't dare to describe the idea of ​​developing the rural village community to the extreme and the budding of industrial and commercial capital.

...

When he returned.

Lunch was ready, and everyone was waiting for them.

Ma Xiuying and Xu Miaoyun stood up when they saw the father and son coming back, and at the same time observed the expressions of the lively father and son.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Ma Xiuying unhappily, and smiled and greeted, "Eat."

Zhu Di smiled and nodded at Xu Miaoyun.

The family was relieved and sat down one after another.

…

After the meal, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying were ready to leave.

Uncles and aunts appeared with big bags and small bags, big baskets and small baskets.

…

When the carriage started and walked out of the village, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped waving and retracted his sight, looking at the big and small baskets that almost filled the carriage.

The corners of his mouth grinned silently to his ears...

"These villagers heard that Daya's father likes to eat wild vegetables in the countryside, and he picked so many at noon."

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and looked through the wild vegetables in the basket.

In spring, there is nothing good in the homes of ordinary people.

These wild vegetables are a token of our thoughts.

Even if his identity as an emperor is revealed, at most the people of Tuqiao Village will be in awe of him.

It is absolutely impossible for him to be welcomed by the people of Tuqiao Village as the identity of ‘Daya Die’.

“Tian De is following our bastard Old Four.”

Ma Xiuying, holding Zhu Xiongying in her arms, glared at him with anger and amusement when she heard these sour words, “Tian De is taking the blame for us! Why didn’t you say anything when he took the blame before? Why are you so jealous now!”

Hehe…

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Alas!

Suddenly, he sighed again.

Ma Xiuying glanced at him and asked with a bad smile: “What’s wrong again?”

“The bastard Old Four is not the one who was open and honest with us in the ninth year of Hongwu. Now he has started to be reserved.”

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his knees and sighed.

Hum!

Ma Xiuying snorted angrily and glared: "Do you regret it now? It's too late!"

After saying this, he refused to pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang and turned his head to look aside.

…

at the same time.

The Governor's Mansion.

Tan Yuan stood straight in front of Li Wenzhong.

Li Wenzhong smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous. I summoned you to the Governor's Mansion today to inform you that you can go back to Liaodong in advance without waiting for the shoulder tag."

"Soon, the imperial court will send a special person to award the shoulder badge to you Daliao River Guards."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the Emperor's grandson who will go there in person..."

"Emperor Grandson!" Tan Yuan exclaimed subconsciously.

Li Wenzhong smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor's grandson. As for the people accompanying the emperor's grandson, you also know him. Zhu Silang, who went out with you last time, is the first-class scholar in the current academy examination. His Majesty's hometown. The party, Zhu Silang, and Zhou Wang Zhu Ji will accompany the emperor's grandson to Daliao River Guard in person to award you with the shoulder badge."

…

‘Zhu Silang? Haha... Zhu Silang, Zhu Silang, you refused before, but now His Majesty asks you to go, can you refuse? ’

Tan Yuan didn't hear clearly what Li Wenzhong said next.

With excitement and confusion, he ended the conversation and walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Wu and Zhou Lang were waiting outside. When they saw Tan Yuan walking out blankly and giggling, they hurriedly gathered around him, "Baihu, what's the matter? The governor's office suddenly summoned him, what's the matter?"

They were summoned from Jiangning by people from the Governor's Office.

Tan Yuan came to his senses.

Pulling Zhang Wu and Zhou Lang, he quickly left the Governor's Mansion.

He found a secluded place, looked around to make sure there was no one, and then smiled and said: "I just got good news, Zhu Silang is going to Liaodong..."

Zhou Lang and Zhang Wu were stunned.

When Tan Yuan finished speaking, Zhou Lang came back to his senses and asked excitedly: "Can Mr. Zhu catch up with the summer offensive?"

"It should be possible." Tan Yuan nodded with a smile.

Zhu Silang was the sworn brother of the three commanders, and it was Zhu Silang who proposed the strategy of raising bandits.

Since he, the fourth ghost, has to go to Liaodong, he shouldn't arrive in Liaodong before the summer offensive.

The commander, Zhang Dakou, and Tongzhi will definitely not be able to spare him.

Tan Yuan gathered his thoughts. He couldn't tell Zhang Wu and Zhou Lang these things. He urged Zhou Lang with a smile: "Let's go back to Jiangning immediately. You say goodbye to your family. We will set off tomorrow and rush back to Liaodong as soon as possible to tell the commander the good news." make!"

Zhou Lang and Zhang Wu smiled and nodded. They were more happy than hundreds of households that Mr. Zhu could participate in Daliao River Guard's summer offensive.

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
