Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"A few died, some were injured. Is my mother trying to release the working prisoners?"

Zhu Gaochi has been treating Zhang Xin in a very good manner over the past two months, and his tone has been very cheerful.

“Let it go when it’s time.”

Zhang Xin frowned.

"Mother and father both want to pray for you. It's not a serious crime, so just let him go."

Zhu Gaochi understood why Zhang Xin frowned.

"Ugh."

Zhang Xin still felt dissatisfied, but everyone wanted to do something for her and she didn't know how to persuade them.

Zhu Gaochi's two younger sisters were in the capital, and they vowed to eat vegetarian food half of the month to pray for her blessing.

Xu prayed to the Bodhisattva and made a wish, secretly not eating meat on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

How virtuous and capable she is!

"Say no again?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Xin and asked.

"Go ahead. You can't stop thinking."

"The mountain folks Zhou Shuguang and Wang Junliang from Lishui and Zhenghe counties gathered together to start an uprising. The imperial censor Wang Fu petitioned the court to send troops to suppress the uprising. My father sent someone to persuade them to surrender."

Zhu Gaochi laughed when he read this.

Many things happening in the court now are closely related to Zhang Xin.

Originally, everyone was in favor of war. The court had not seen a war for many years, and the military generals were all very idle.

Zhu Di's original intention was to fight him, but when he came back and told Xu about it, Xu rejected his idea.

Anyway, everything is aimed at accumulating virtue.

Never kill without reason.

"There has to be a reason for a crowd to start a riot."

Zhang Xin held her forehead with her hand.

"There are officials who are unjust, and people are forced to have food and clothing. There must be one right. I have already sent a letter to Zhanji to find out on his way back."

Zhu Gaochi has already summed it up.

Anyway, it’s either that they don’t have enough to eat or that the officials are bad. In most cases, it’s the officials who are bad.

Sweet potatoes are now being harvested in abundance all over the country, and very few people are going hungry.

Lishui and Zhenghe are both in Yunnan, and sweet potatoes can even be harvested twice a year.

"Oh, I remembered something. Someone from the Commerce Bureau told me that maybe we can take over the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and those poor small countries in the Western Regions without any soldiers."

Speaking of Zhanji, Zhang Xin thought of the Western Regions, and when she thought of the Western Regions, she remembered what the palace lady from the Commerce Bureau had told her two days ago.

"Drink! Such a big breath. How do I take it?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect Zhang Xin to suddenly bring this up.

“Food aid.”

Zhang Xin said four words.

"How do you help?"

Zhu Gaochi was very curious.

Zheng He was driving his treasure ship to scatter money everywhere, but Zhang Xin is still scattering grain everywhere?

"I'll tell you, and you'll understand."

It was also the first time that Zhang Xin realized that business really could kill people without bloodshed.

The royal family has always had nearly two hundred ships in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and even further to the Red Sea to trade with various countries.

Among them, there are some tiny countries that don't even have names.

These places have little output and nothing to trade.

At first, the fleet would only occasionally stop at the shore to replenish supplies such as water.

Later, when supplies could be replenished at all places along the entire coastline, these small places were mostly not stopped.

Later, the largest treasure ship broke down and needed to be repaired using local materials, so it was anchored in one of the small places.

The people on the boat had nothing to do, so they took some people down to explore, and discovered many mini kingdoms on land.

They don't live by the sea and can't make a living from the output of the sea.

As for farming, there was not even any iron tools.

The grain grown is very valuable and is sold locally at very high prices.

The crew felt sorry for these people and sold the surplus food on the ship to them at a very cheap price.

After that, every time he passed by, he would go ashore and deliver some food to sell to others.

When they went there again recently, they found that no one in the local area was farming anymore, and everyone was eating the food sold to them by the crew.

As for the limited land, it was all occupied by powerful people in the small countries, who planted other crops that could not be used as food, which the fleet said they would buy.

"Fuck! Is it true that they killed without spilling blood? How many years did this take?"

Zhu Gaochi understood Zhang Xin's words halfway through and jumped up high.

Once the royal fleet stops providing food and stops buying things from them, these small kingdoms will immediately be cut off from food and economy, and will have to surrender immediately. Since they are being strangled by the throat, there is no choice but to bow their heads.

"Only three to five years."

Zhang Xin had a further understanding of Zhu Gaochi's intelligence.

"We provide food aid to those who have no food, and we provide whatever aid they need if they don't have anything else. We can bring one down in three to five years without spending a single soldier. We are really the good guys!"

Zhu Gaochi immediately made the same analogy.

"About the same, but the food should be better managed."

“And the population.”

Zhu Gaochi grinned evilly.

Now the imperial court is actually taking the population route.

The imperial court has now set up Ming Huitongguan and sent garrisons to all countries that have traded with the Ming Dynasty.

Now that they had no worries, the merchants began to recruit people to occupy the territory.

This is not the kind of small-scale fight that happened in the past where one goes alone and risks one's life to earn money to support one's family.

Instead, several households in a large family collectively went there to buy houses and land and settle down.

According to the current population growth rate in the country.

Soon, there will be more and more Ming people overseas.

Merchants are rich themselves, and when they arrive at a place they will try to get close to those in power.

Soon all the power and money were available.

Competition in the country is fierce at present. Even the richest businessmen cannot compete with Royal or their peers.

But overseas, as long as you have established a firm foothold, you can almost always have a unique business.

Most Ming people also tend to deal with Ming people.

Everyone should develop on their own and there is no need to fight with each other.

This strategy is aimed at relatively wealthy countries, such as those along the southeast coast.

Zhang Xin now proposed that the Western Regions or Mobei further north would be quite suitable. In deserts and bitter cold places, food is always in short supply.

"I'll go talk to my dad first."

Zhu Gaochi figured out all the key points and stood up excitedly.

"What's the hurry? You haven't finished reading the imperial edict to me yet!"

Zhang Xin was speechless.

"We'll continue when we get back. It's nothing serious."

Zhu Gaochi was very anxious.

He had to discuss this matter with Zhu Di as it would both accumulate virtue and help him take down a difficult bone to chew.

The two countries that Zhu Zhanji went to mediate this time could be peacefully conquered in this way, and then Zhu Zhanji could come back quickly.

During this period, the more he read medical books, the more hope he felt.

He wanted Zhanji to take over his job, Tang Sai'er to take over Zhang Xin's job, and he himself would take Zhang Xin to Wudang Mountain.

He always felt that the so-called Master Zhang's travel was an excuse.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, then I will go to the mountain!!!
