It is said to be enjoyment, but in fact Zhu Yuanzhang probably enjoys work the most!Therefore, what Shu Yun said before can only be regarded as just talking!

After the Chinese New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang began to move the capital in full swing.Previously, the Beiyuan side had been defeated one after another, which was already a serious blow to their vitality, and they had to withdraw from the pass. Although in name they were still serving as Emperor Zhizheng, in fact they were already fighting in private.

Originally Wang Baobao was the most powerful warlord, but before Emperor Zhizheng shouted to recover Dadu, he forced Wang Baobao to fight with the Ming army. The foundation of the toss is almost gone.So much so that now on the Beiyuan side, some aristocrats who had already lost power are eager to try.The Zhizheng Emperor himself has no one in his hands, and now he can't control the situation at all, and he can only do nothing if he wants to cheer up!After several blows, he was already too sick to get up!

Zhu Yuanzhang is still quite confident about the future. Now the only one in Beiyuan who still has some fighting power is Wang Baobao. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the others are like chickens and dogs.Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to recruit Wang Baobao, but it was a pity that although this prince who once supported the Zhizheng Emperor's family, he was really loyal to the Yuan court.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not shy away from recruiting and surrendering Mongols, or Sinicized Mongols. However, after most Mongolians entered the Central Plains, their Sinicization was not cultural Sinicization, but indulged in pleasure and lost their original bravery and aggressiveness. In his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked down on such a Mongolian.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit the Mongols in order to use these people to control the grassland. Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the Hu people on the grassland have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.Even after the original Hu regime entered the Central Plains, it still faced the threat of the newly rising Hu people on the grassland.Just like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties faced the threats of Rouran and Turks.

When it came to the Yuan court, in order to weaken the threat on the grassland, the Yuan court also carried out a series of weakening policies on the grassland. As a result, after returning to the grassland, they were very blind. The severe desertification made these degraded nomads have no choice. Only by not forming a group and occupying more territory can we support our own tribe.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's estimation, if he can make good use of those Mongolian surrenders, then within ten years, he will be able to wipe out the grasslands.

It is a pity that, for the time being, most of the Mongols who are willing to surrender are waste snacks, but almost none of the Mongol elites are willing to surrender.The Yuan court ruled the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the accumulated hatred is too much, and there are many blood debts in the middle. If the Mongols are like the Xianbei people in those days, they can successfully integrate the blood of the Mongols into the Han people through marriage and intermarriage. It’s fine if they are in their blood, but obviously, the Mongols have no such plan. What they have always thought about is to kill all the Han people and make ordinary Han people become slaves of the Mongols forever!Therefore, under such circumstances, it is simply wishful thinking to expect the Han people to forget their previous hatred so quickly, and to spare the Mongols like them. If it is said that a hundred years later, it can still be considered. fate.

Wang Baobao is actually a rare pro-Han faction among the Mongols. Even just ten years ago, he was the object of support of the northern Han landlords. The Red Scarf Army didn't like it at all, and wished they could end the suppression in person.

However, no one knew that Yuan Ting was finished so quickly, and in just a few years, it was hard to get back. At this point, those landlords in the north can only stop their losses quickly, or they will usher in liquidation.Wang Baobao lost the support of these people. Just relying on the resources on the grassland, Wang Baobao is also a smart woman in a sense.

Although there was no cooperation from the Mongolian nobles, the Northern Expedition did not stop because of this. Xu Da suffered a big defeat at Wang Baobao.

Xu Da is also a human being, he is now unsealable, he took advantage of the situation to plead guilty, and simply retreated to the second line, Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish him, and rewarded him a lot, and then sent another person to continue the Northern Expedition.

Shu Yun couldn't intervene in the matter of the Northern Expedition. Even if he wanted to use some economic means, it was not the time yet. At least he had to wait until the Mongols gave up.

Now Shu Yun is thinking about planting trees and afforestation. There is no way. The capital is already very windy and sandy. In order to control the grassland, Yuan Ting allowed the grassland to become deserted. Without vegetation coverage, sandstorms are inevitable. Shu Yun's previous life I have hardly lived in the north, and I have been living in the south all my life. After moving here, it is inevitable that I am not used to this climate.

Therefore, although the site selection and blueprints for the imperial palace have been preliminarily released, Shu Yun pondered, it is better not to rush the construction now, and the most important thing to do is to build up the windbreak forest first.However, when she mentioned it to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang just shook his head, saying that this matter should not be rushed, and the status quo should be maintained. The ones who are anxious are the Mongols. Their pastures are barren and there are fewer people who can support them. Yes, when I look back, Mongolia has also learned the method of fixing wind, sand, water and soil. It will not be so easy to solve them.

In this day and age, talking to Zhu Yuanzhang about protecting the environment and protecting the earth is completely playing the piano against the cow. Although Shu Yun was a little frustrated, he finally admitted it.Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about this matter. He originally planned to build his capital in Chang'an, but because the wind and sand there were too strong, the rivers began to dry up, and the land gradually became barren, so he gave up this plan. Now I heard Shu Yun say that the land Desertification is caused by deforestation, and the water and soil cannot be fixed. The reason why the Yellow River has not been clear for thousands of years, but often floods and diverts, is also due to the large-scale loss of water and soil.

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked Qin Tianjian, he felt that this matter seemed to be quite reliable, so he planned to turn back and plant trees in the Hetao area. go north.

But for the time being, this matter can only stay on paper. In addition to maintaining a few troops for the Northern Expedition, the current Ming Dynasty needs to spend more energy on resuming production.I didn't really come to the north. I didn't know that the situation in the north is so serious now, and the people's livelihood is dying.Now that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn’t plan to engage in military households anymore, he just gritted his teeth and directly rewarded the heroes with these abandoned places as Yongye Tian. Where is the hometown, these sergeants were directly scattered and assigned to various places to serve as the head of the village, and at the same time, they were assigned a large amount of land and farm tools.The Mongols retreated several times, leaving behind a lot of cattle and sheep. The cattle were pierced with nose rings and sent to various government offices as farm cattle for rent by the people.

This kind of work needs to last for a long period of time. During this period, we must continue to encourage childbirth, increase the population, and then guide some people to emigrate through the guidance of various preferential policies.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now having a headache about immigration. This year is no worse than a few hundred years later. The population flow is very large. Most people resettle and relocate. Unless they really can't live, otherwise, they will hardly leave their hometowns.In particular, even in those places where the population is relatively dense, the arable land per capita is still acceptable, and everyone has not yet reached the level where they need to immigrate!Especially in the relatively densely populated south, because industry and commerce are becoming more and more developed nowadays, even if there is not much land, they can live a relatively moist life. Who would drag their families and take their families all the way to settle in a completely unfamiliar place?

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to liquidate those northern landlords who supported the Mongolian Yuan, he could not let them immigrate, because their local population was already relatively sparse, and it was nothing more than confiscating their land and forcibly releasing their slaves to serve as good citizens. .

In fact, even in times of war like this, there are still wealthy families who have hidden a lot of population. Some wealthy families have to honestly hand over these hidden populations if they don’t want to be liquidated because of their black history. , Conglong was relatively early, or in other words, he also made a lot of efforts for the court before.If you turn your face and deny people, it is inevitable that some people will have some ideas.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking, it is to tell you in a good voice first, if you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, then just use the knife to see if your neck is faster than the knife!

But Shu Yun thinks that they can give them another way, just like collecting excessive concubinage taxes before, families of all levels can't have unlimited domestic slaves, right?Therefore, the number of servants that can be owned is also stipulated according to the number of these families and their status.If this amount is exceeded, the tax will be levied according to the number of people!As for the hermits, that’s okay, unless you can hide people for a lifetime, otherwise, if they are found out, those who have no household registration and no contract of sale are savages, and they can directly serve as official slaves and serve hard labor.In addition, those who hide these people will also have to pay huge fines. If the situation is serious, they will also need to serve as atonement. In addition, they must reduce the number of servants they can have.Of course, if you really lack people to take care of you, and you just don't have enough places, then you can only sign an employment contract. This kind of person is not a domestic slave, but still belongs to the common people, so there are many restrictions on many things!Among other things, the general family, for the servants below, although it is stated that they can't scream and kill, but they are beaten up, or they are sold to the mine or some unclean place, but it is completely unreasonable. not breaking the law.Even if you beat someone to death, as long as there is a reason for the incident, you can just pay a sum of money!Even if the people don't raise officials and don't investigate them, if no one reports to the officials, there is no need for fines.

In Shu Yun's view, there is nothing that can't be solved by economic adjustment. Of course, the premise is that the post-supervision must be in place. Shu Yun thought, it's better to be independent in this matter of tax collection, otherwise, now With so many types of taxes being collected as before, I'm afraid there will be a lot of room for manipulation!
