Chapter 351: All Parties Gather in Fujian, Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan Appear

Chapter 351 All parties gathered in Fujian, Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan appeared!

The palace.

The imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the wine jar in front of him, and glanced at Lan Yu and Mu Ying, "You go to Tuqiao Village and bring us a jar of wine?"

The two went to Tuqiao Village and asked Fang Xiaoru to be their guide.

And brought Xia Shimin with him.

How could he hide it from his eyes.

The behavior of the two made him very happy.

How hostile and radical was Lan Yu to the fourth child?

He didn't say anything about his behavior, but he hated it in his heart.

Even if the fourth child was demoted to a commoner and thrown into Tuqiao Village as a farmer, he was still his son, Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if he intended to make the fourth child a negative example at that time.

Lan Yu's behavior was too much.

It was just that it was not convenient to take action at that time.

First of all, the fourth child was not injured, but Lan Yu almost lost his life.

Secondly, if he had punished Lan Yu at that time, it would have sent a signal to the outside world that he did not really want to punish Lao Si.

...

But Lan Yu was the most radical supporter of Biaoer against Lao Si.

Now he was trying every means to get along with Lao Si.

He wanted to win over Lao Si for Biaoer.

He was very excited.

Perhaps, he imagined that Zhong Biaoer and Lao Si would cooperate, which might not be impossible to succeed?

As long as more and more people changed like Lan Yu...

Zhu Biao stood by and saw Zhu Yuanzhang praising Lan Yu. He was also very pleased with Lan Yu's change. He asked with a smile: "Marquis Yongchang, is this wine brewed by the people of Tuqiao Village?"

"Yes." Lan Yu nodded: "But your majesty and the prince will never guess what this wine is made of."

Lan Yu deliberately kept it a secret to arouse the curiosity of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lan Yu.

"Corn stalks!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were surprised for a moment, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "Tell us about it."

Corn stalks?

Aren't these the raw materials for feeding livestock, burning fires, and composting?

How can they also make wine?

He was a farmer, but he had never heard that crop stalks could be used to make wine.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying, one after another, immediately told Zhu Yuanzhang what they saw and heard in Tuqiao Village.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were more and more surprised as they listened.

Since the fourth son left Tuqiao Village in the past few years, no one has paid attention to Tuqiao Village.

After all, with so many family and national affairs, who has the energy to care about a small village.

Everyone used to pay attention to Tuqiao Village.

In fact, they paid attention to Tuqiao Village with Zhu Silang.

"It's only been two or three years? Every household in Tuqiao Village has a red brick and tile house?" Zhu Biao looked at Lan Yu in surprise.

He blamed himself.

He failed in his duty.

Fang Xiaoru was his man.

He was still the magistrate of Jiangning County.

And he often dealt with the villagers of Tuqiao Village.

Fang Xiaoru must know these.

However, he didn't pay attention, and Fang Xiaoru certainly didn't dare to disturb him with such trivial matters.

Lan Yu and the others nodded seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the palace maid: "Go, get a few cups."

He wanted to taste the wine brewed from corn stalks.

After a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao each took a glass of wine and looked at it carefully. The wine was clear, the foam gradually dissipated, and the rich aroma of wine came to the face.

It should be similar to the wine brewed from sorghum.

Different from rice wine.

This kind of high-purity liquor in the north has been very popular among the people, and the south prefers to drink rice wine.

The demand for liquor in the army is also very high.

Reward the soldiers.

Or post-war treatment.

It can be said that the discovery of Tuqiao Village is of great value.

With the popularization of corn planting, there must be a lot of corn stalks. The popularization of wine brewed from corn stalks can save a lot of grain to a certain extent.

Grain is not used to make wine.

The circulation in the market will increase, and more people in the city can buy grain at a lower price.

...

The father and son thought about their own thoughts, took a sip, and tasted it.

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, very happy, drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, and said with a smile: "Tuqiao Village has made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty, and it should be the first village in the local village community!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, after you go down, you write a couple of words yourself, make a plaque, and send someone to send it to Tuqiao Village..."

Mu Ying watched from the side.

Thoughtfully.

His Majesty's golden words, Tuqiao Village was named the first village in the local village community.

It's not surprising.

Tuqiao Village deserves it.

But why didn't His Majesty write the inscription himself?

Instead, let the prince do it?

He guessed a possibility.

Your Majesty does not want the emperors to erase the history of Lao Si and Tuqiao Village a hundred years later for various reasons that cannot be said clearly.

The prince wrote the inscription himself.

That is, the prince and Tuqiao Village are tied together.

Erase Tuqiao Village.

That is to erase the prince!

He could vaguely guess the purpose of His Majesty's doing this.

Whether Lao Si will leave Ming in the future.

Every time the new dynasty clears Lao Si's traces in Ming, it clears Lao Si's feelings for Ming.

If there are too many such things, Lao Si and his descendants will no longer have feelings for Ming. Will Ming still help when it encounters difficulties?

Your Majesty has good intentions.

But why does Your Majesty have such worries?

Did Your Majesty discover something?

"In addition, confer Yang Lao Ba the title of Jiangning Agricultural Persuading Officer to assist Fang Xiaoru in promoting the rural village community in Jiangning. In addition, let Yang Lao Ba and others not be stingy and teach the method of making wine with corn stalks to other people..."

"In return, Tuqiao Village's corn straw wine will be given the name Jade Wine, and the palace will purchase part of it from Tuqiao Village every year."

He would not take something from a group of common people for free.

And the imperial palace drank jade wine brewed from corn stalks.

Help more people accept it.

He doesn't ask for much.

When corn cultivation spread all over the world.

Just make sure that 10% of the world’s drinks come from corn stalks.

This alone can save a huge amount of food, perhaps allowing hundreds of thousands of people to have enough to eat.

"My son obeys the order!"

…

The next day.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Yu Tongyuan, Song Lian, Fang Xiaoru...

The group set off on their journey.

The vast observation team cannot keep a low profile even if they want to.

The people were talking a lot.

"Observation group! This is the first time I have heard of this term."

"To put it bluntly, I just went to Fujian to learn scriptures from King Yan. We have to learn from King Yan, so why did we let King Yan leave the Ming Dynasty?"

"No, King Yan's departure from the Ming Dynasty is a loss for the Ming Dynasty and a loss for our people!"

"I have some expectations that King Yan will lead his troops back to the court in the future. I don't know what King Yan's private soldiers will look like."

…

Streetside wine shop.

Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, teachers and students sat by the window, watching the observation team passing by the window, and listening to the people's discussions.

After these two years of conditioning and training.

Hu Weiyong can barely walk.

However, the Yin Yang face has not improved yet.

After the team walked away, Li Shanchang looked away and saw Hu Weiyong's gloomy face, frowning slightly, and persuaded: "It is said that Mr. Wang from Jiangning is a famous doctor. He is just a good friend of Zhu Silang and is the master of Zhu Silang's two students. …”

Within these two years.

Hu Weiyong invited famous doctors all over the world.

But just avoid the famous doctor named Wang in Jiangning.

Even Lan Yu praised the other party.

In the past few years, if the Lan family had any diseases that could not be cured by the doctors in Jinling, they would send people to Jiangning to ask for help.

Lan Yu's new concubine had difficulty giving birth and almost died.

It was Mr. Wang who brought Zhu Silang and Xu Daya's female students, Su Chunxiao, to treat her.

Now this girl Su Chunxiao is more famous in Zhuzi Lane than she was two years ago when she was supervising hundreds of officials.

There have been several midwives, and at the same time, they asked this little girl to help.

…

Hu Weiyong suffered a serious illness and his mentality was greatly affected and he became too paranoid.

The other party has a close relationship with Zhu Silang.

Just be hostile to each other.

"I asked you to ask Emperor Zhu for instructions and follow the observation group to Fujian, but you won't go. Don't you want to know about the current changes in Fujian? And Zhu Silang's private soldiers?"

Hu Weiyong forced a smile and said, "Teacher, the prince is going to the north to destroy the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Silang will come back with his private soldiers. It won't be too late to see him then."

After saying that, Hu Weiyong obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned to ask: "We have been praising Zhu Silang for so long, and Zhu Silang's reputation is getting higher and higher, but the prince has not changed at all?"

He really couldn't wait!

But now that I have no power, I can't do anything.

We can only hope that Zhu Biao and Zhu Silang will turn against each other.

The smile on Li Shanchang's lips flashed away, "How do you know that the prince has not changed?"

Hu Weiyong raised his eyebrows, stared at Li Shanchang closely, and couldn't wait to ask: "What did the teacher discover?"

"No." Li Shanchang shook his head.

He was just putting himself in someone else's shoes.

If he is a prince.

He will definitely remain steadfast and continue to maintain brotherhood.

But privately, I will definitely do something.

There must be strategic determination.

But there must also be tactical changes!

This is the foundation of a wise life.

He and Liu Bowen both taught the prince.

He is also the Prince's teacher.

I wonder if the prince has learned anything about his methods of dealing with things?

…

Dongfan Strait.

"Fire!"

A group of young children's voices sounded excitedly.

boom!

Immediately, a dull roar came.

An extremely ugly iron cannon placed on the stern deck of the warship spewed out a stream of thick smoke and fire, and a black iron bullet shot out.

It hit the sea, causing a huge wave of water.

A group of children cheered excitedly.

snort!

A slight hum came out.

Mao Laoliu turned his head and looked at Zhu Di with a smile, "Master, do you want to teach Yu Jing a lesson? This guy has spent a lot of money this year to lure Dongxu and the others to join the navy in the future..."

Yu Jing was the most shameless and smartest second-generation descendant of the powerful Ming Dynasty he had ever seen.

Just to ensure the future, the young master can allocate resources to the navy.

It’s really a big deal.

He often took these children out to sea to watch naval training, and even asked the soldiers to listen to the children's orders.

Taking shamelessness to the extreme.

And of course, very smart.

Zhu Di glared at Mao Xiang and asked, "Have you figured out the situation of the residents on the island? How many people are there in total?"

This year, he trained troops on Jilong Island.

Mao Laoliu was sent out by him to explore the entire Dongfan Island, mainly to explore the location and population of the settlements on the island.

When they set off from Jilong Island.

Mao Laoliu just came back.

Although at this stage, we are just making friends and increasing economic exchanges with the island residents.

But in the future, these people will be brought under his jurisdiction.

If it really doesn't make sense.

That can only be eradicated by force.

Under the general trend, even if the other party is innocent.

He won't be the least bit merciful either.

However, things are looking good at the moment.

As the Jilong Island resettlement site continues to expand, several villages that migrated from the Tang Dynasty have been found, and they get along well with each other.

These villages followed the example of the resettlement sites and established rural village communities.

I heard that he was the prince of the Central Plains court.

He also took the initiative to express his willingness to join.

He also sent the young men and women in the village to join his new army.

After a year of expansion, the new army has been organized into a fully-staffed town.

However, the cavalryman has only learned basic riding skills now.

The war horse has not been configured yet.

no way.

He couldn't get a war horse.

We can only wait for the Northern Expedition to destroy the Yuan Dynasty and find a way to grab a batch.

Spend money to buy?

never mind.

Raising troops is too expensive.

The profits from business were not enough. In the past two years, he had borrowed two hundred thousand taels from the Shen family for three houses.

Before the Northern Expedition destroyed the Yuan Dynasty.

Compile another infantry standard.

The total strength is more than 15,000 people.

We plan to stop military expansion.

Bring a town back to Jinling to help in the battle.

It is enough to leave a mark to defend Dongfan, mainly Jilong Island.

Let's see if Beizheng can make a fortune.

He is very poor now.

As for asking my father for help?

Forget it.

As long as you reach out, you will definitely receive support.

But he didn't want to.

It’s okay if my father is here.

With his father and mother gone, there was no guarantee that someone would bring up old matters again, ask him to pay off his debts, and even take the opportunity to make particularly excessive demands.

Did he agree?

Still don’t agree?

Now that the families are separated, how you live your life depends entirely on your own ability.

Of course, he estimated that this kind of tight life would only last for a few years.

After the whole of Fujian is completely built into rural villages and the reform of the employee-shareholding system is completed, Dayan Commercial Bank can rely on the income from maritime trade in Fujian to meet the current financial expenditure.

Clean up the world and fully liberalize sea trade.

Dongfan serves as a transit point for sea trade.

It’s impossible not to be rich!

…

Mao Laoliu smiled and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhu Di, "Master, the situation in Dongfan is better than we expected. After a year of visits and surveys, it is basically confirmed that Dongfan has a population of 60,000, of which 10,000 There are more than 5,000 tribal people, and the rest migrated from the Central Plains in all dynasties..."

Most of the people who had migrated from the Central Plains showed great enthusiasm when he visited with cloth and wine.

Listen to him talk about the various things that His Highness has done in the Central Plains' cultural and martial arts.

They all showed their affection for His Highness.

…

Zhu Di listened and looked at Zhezi.

Mao Laoliu is worthy of being the founder of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei.

He is really good at getting information.

The beginning of the excerpt is a map of Dongfan.

Then there are detailed dismantling pictures of various places in Dongpan.

Doroman (Yilan), Zhuqian (Hsinchu)...

All have very detailed maps, with confluences, mountains, rivers, villages, and even wells all marked.

It can be used as a military map.

After reading, Zhu Di nodded and said with a smile: "It's really humiliating for you to stay with us all these years and give shit to Yong Ming and Qihua..."

"Master, I am willing, but don't drive me away!" Mao Laoliu suddenly changed his face.

When the young master said this, he definitely wanted to reuse him.

But he preferred to stay with the young master.

He had already obtained prominent power, but now he didn't want it at all.

Just want to be with my family.

Serve the young master and young lady to grow up.

"I'm not driving you away!" Zhu Di glared angrily, feeling particularly comfortable.

Mao Laoliu crawled outside their house in the middle of the night with his buttocks bloody and bloody.

That night, I heard what happened from Mao Laoliu.

He wished he could drive all night to send Mao Lao-liu back to Jinling and throw him on the street, so that Mao Lao-liu would follow the second choice given by his father and beg for food.

But we got along over the years.

He has long regarded this guy as a relative.

"You are good at this. Develop some people from Lu Zhen, Liang Daoming, and other forces, train them, and let them go to places like Dongfan, Malacca, Srivijaya, and Champa..."

He needed a military intelligence corps.

Exploring intelligence on surrounding forces for him.

For example, this kind of map has even the wells marked and is of great military value.

No one else around you can do this.

Mao Laoliu is the most suitable.

"Remember, I am not a guard spying on my brothers, but a military intelligence officer..."

"In addition, do not develop any spies within the Ming Dynasty!"

Of course development is good.

After the Jin Yiwei represented the "big brother" to win over Lu Zhen, a strange storm loomed, and he was a little confused about the future.

But he didn't want to take the first step.

He also didn't want his father to notice that he was developing a career as a spy in the Ming Dynasty.

He cannot be unfaithful and unjust first.

Not for moral reasons.

He just wanted peace of mind.

Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Di and said solemnly: "Master, I understand. I will do what the master said to the letter and will never develop spies in the Ming Dynasty."

The young master is like this, if someone still does something that is sorry for the young master.

He just did not develop spies within the Ming Dynasty.

You can also help the young master!

He has always been the creator of Jinyiwei!

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you know Wu Hai?"

The purpose of returning from this trip is to deal with Wu Hai and this group of scornful scholars.

He did not expect that even Ye Mao began to fully cooperate with him, and a group of old people from the Yuan Dynasty suddenly appeared to incite Fujian scholars to oppose him.

The previous promotion of rural village communes did not disturb these decadent things.

When economic interests were gradually used to promote the employee shareholding system, this group of corrupt people did not make any move.

Until he wanted to stir up a public consensus on the employment-share system.

This group of rotten old people suddenly appeared and confused many scholars by virtue of their status in the literary world.

The son of a gentry family.

A scholar from a poor family.

Farmer scholar.

This group of hot-blooded young people, who are easy to listen to the wind and rain, dare to directly attack businessmen in various places who implement the labor-based shareholding system.

Some people have even gone to Min County Dayan Commercial Bank to cause trouble.

"Just a hypocritical villain!" Mao Xiang sneered, "This guy and Wang Han are die-hard loyalists of the Yuan Dynasty, and they are also close friends for many years. They have always complained about our Ming Dynasty, but they only dare to talk about it..."

"Wu Hai, an old guy, coveted the beauty of Wang Han's wife, so he kept trying to persuade Wang Han to keep the Yuan Dynasty. After Wang Han committed suicide in the ninth year of Hongwu, Wu Hai inherited Wang Han's family business, wife, and youngest son..."

…

Min County.

Min'an Town.

Min'an Town is located at the estuary of Minjiang River.

With the development of maritime trade.

Today, it has become the most prosperous and lively place in Min County and even the whole of Fujian.

There are newly built shops everywhere, and there are even warehouses set up beside the dock.

I don't know how many people are working on the dock to make a living.

Two old Taoist priests walked into Min'an Town one after the other.

The leader, an old Taoist priest with a childish face and white hair, looked at the endless stream of carriages and nodded: "During the Yuan Dynasty, I once traveled to Min County and came to Min'an Town. The sea was not banned at that time, so it was very prosperous. It is even more prosperous now than it was in the Yuan Dynasty. "

"Zhu Di is better than Zhu Yuanzhang!"

The old Taoist priest following behind smiled bitterly and wished he could cover the mouth of the Taoist priest in front of him.

But he didn't dare!

"Wan San, I heard that the third brother of your Shen family has now completely surrendered to King Yan. It seems that this King Yan wants to engage in maritime trade. If you want to continue your career, go ahead and don't have to accompany me."

These two people.

They are the famous Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan of the Shen family.

Shen Wansan hurriedly shook his head, "Master Zhang, I no longer have this intention."

"Zhenren Zhang, why did you accept Wu Hai's invitation?"

Shen Wansan asked, expressing his confusion.

He and Zhenren Zhang originally practiced Taoism in Yunnan.

It was Wu Hai who suddenly wrote a letter inviting Zhang Zhenren, so he left Yunnan.
