The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After coming out of the Zhou family's old mansion.

Yan Chengjin couldn't help but said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness is so smart. After seeing His Highness' methods today, I suddenly feel that the rumors about Your Highness outside are all rumors!"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. Hearing such praise, his tail was raised to the sky. He said proudly: "Liu Banban only taught me once, and I know how to do it."

It was actually taught by Liu Jin.

Liu Jin is such a bad person...

Specialized in teaching Zhu Houzhao how to play bad things and how to have fun.

According to historical records, Liu Jin not only taught Zhu Houzhao a bad example, but also secretly controlled the Ming Dynasty's affairs. He became two emperors in one dynasty and became the richest man in the world at that time.

It is said that Liu Jin is also on the "Wall Street Journal" list of the fifty richest people in the world in a thousand years. He is a god-like man.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia and others joined forces and worked hard for three years. Not only did they not overthrow Liu Jin, but they were all forced to serve by Liu Jin. Only Li Dongyang, who endured the humiliation and heavy burden, stayed.

But it’s okay now. Liu Jin was driven to the Western Regions. From now on, except for me, Lao Gao, there will be no one around the prince who can instigate him to do bad things. By driving Liu Jin away, Yan Chengjin feels that this contribution is better than those in Minglun Hall. The Japanese teacher Zhu Houzhao had made even greater contributions to being a good person. Suddenly, he found that he had been sublimated again.

Zhou Yu raised his sleeves, wiped away his tears, and sniffed. He had not thought of going to the palace to complain, but complaining was of no use. His Majesty had such a single seedling, how could he strangle it to death?

Now I am filled with regrets. When Wang Shu took the lead in admonishing His Majesty to accept a concubine, why didn't he join in the booing?

No matter how difficult life is, you have to get through it, right? He immediately took a deep breath and cheered up: "Here comes someone!"

"Master, why are you crying?" Zhou Wangcai smiled apologetically.

Zhou Yu slapped him over and kicked him again: "You are so ridiculous! Bring a few veterinarians and find me cows!" As he said that, he strode out the door with his head held high.

Raising running chickens these days, Zhou Yu has a lot of experience in breeding and breeding. The first thing is to find the best breeds of cattle, and then do shameful things. Speaking of which, he also has to build a cattle shed in the wasteland outside the city. , otherwise where will the bought cow live?

It has just entered October, and the first snow has fallen in the capital. The weather has become colder, charcoal is in short supply, and pedestrians on Qipan Street are breathing white air.

cabinet,

The three of them, Li Dongyang, are all worried about the oxen. Without the oxen, although manpower can plow, but how can it be compared with the oxen? An oxen can plow an acre of land in one day, but a person can't plow half an acre in three days.

If the season is missed, the harvest will be greatly affected.

The most distressing thing for Li Dongyang and others is that since the promulgation of the cattle ban, the number of cattle in Ming Dynasty has finally improved. Now that a large number of cattle have been lost, how can we get them back?

Liu Jian sighed and finally turned over the notes on the desk. Suddenly his face tightened and he became furious: "Uncle Chang Ning is so selfish and perverts the law, he really deserves to be punished!"

Li Dongyang: "Why is Mr. Liu so angry?"

Liu Jiandao: "Binzhi, take a look at the memorial of Shuntian Mansion impeaching Uncle Ning!"

Li Dongyang took it and saw that Zhou Yu had seized the cattle of many farmers in Shuntian Prefecture, a total of a hundred.

Liu Qing's head was pounding, and he couldn't arrest Uncle Chang Ning, so he had no choice but to submit this memorial.

"Let's go find His Majesty!"

Li Dongyang and the others came to Nuange angrily and presented the Shuntian Prefecture's memorial to impeach Zhou Yu to Emperor Hongzhi.

How dare you steal a cow!

Emperor Hongzhi thought of the Queen Mother, but the next moment, his eyes became sharp: "Go and find out, if what Liu Qing said is true, I will not be lenient!"

In a village in Daxing County under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, Zhou Yu said to the veterinarian and cattle herders: "Look at them carefully. All the strong cattle are taken away by me. Look, how thin the buttocks of these cattle have become." That’s it, don’t, don’t, don’t”

The law of the strong emphasizes the combination of strong and strong, so-called dragons and dragons and phoenixes...

Zhou Yu has already kept it in mind.

As long as you look at the strong cattle, you will take them away and refuse to let them go? Will you sell thirty taels?

"The villain doesn't want money... The villain doesn't want to sell it!" The farmers who were forced to buy their cattle cried. Without the cattle, the land is useless.

Mou Bin came on horseback, but unexpectedly saw this scene and couldn't help but stop in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was unhappy for a long time: "I spent money, it's none of your business!"

Mou Bin said sternly: "I am here under His Majesty's imperial decree. If Uncle insists on doing this, I will have no choice but to take you back for a face-to-face interview."

"That bitch Liu Qing! What's wrong with me spending my money?!" Zhou Yu suppressed his blush, rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said with a flattering smile: "Commander Mou, you see It’s clear, I’m buying a cow for fifty taels! I’m not doing anything bad, I just want to spend some money.”

Mou Bin watched him give the money with his own eyes, and then returned to the cabinet to reply.

After listening to Mu Bin's report, the faces of Li Dongyang and the other two people became strange. Emperor Hongzhi had no idea about the purchasing power of fifty taels, so he asked: "Li Qing's family, did the transaction of thirty taels of silver oppress the villagers?"

Li Dongyang shook his head: "What a loss. Ordinary people only get six or seven taels of silver for a year's wages. Thirty taels is enough to buy a piece of fertile land in the capital that can feed a family of three for a year."

Emperor Hongzhi then thought about it. The annual salary of an ordinary Beijing official was only a dozen taels of silver, so he knew what fifty taels of silver was.

But, this is the strange thing. How does Zhou Yu look like a person with a conscience?

Xiao Jing hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago... His Highness took off the clothes of a young eunuch in the palace, left the palace, and seemed to go to the Zhou Mansion with Yan Chengjin..."

Needless to say, Xiao Jing, Emperor Hongzhi also guessed the next plot.

A few days ago, Yan Chengjin mentioned the law of the strong, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, he and the prince went to Changning's Mansion again. At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi secretly hoped that this law of the strong was true.

"Call Yan Chengjin."

Hanyuan,

Yan Zhijie is already writing "The Laws of the Strong in Animal Husbandry".

If superior breeding and selection can be implemented, then there must be a book with general directions to guide it. Of course, it is just a hint and is not written in depth. Veterinarians will need to study it in depth.

Among them, the theory of evolution is written based on the birth of dragons and phoenixes, and the conjectures of modern evolutionary theory are implicit in it, and the writing is extremely obscure.

During the Little Ice Age, it was not only cattle but also war horses that suffered a sharp decline in their numbers.

Shaanxi Yuanma Temple is responsible for transporting military horses to the three sides of Shaanxi, Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu. However, due to the advent of the Little Ice Age, the number of horses has dropped sharply.

The number of ordinary war horses was more than 10,000. By the middle period of Hongzhi, it had dropped by more than half. By the end of Hongzhi, there were only more than 2,000 horses left, about one-fifth of the number at its peak.

Without horses, there is no cavalry.

The Tatars relied on cavalry to compete with the Ming Dynasty. Without cavalry, the Ming Dynasty's border defense capabilities were sharply reduced, and the nine sides were weak, let alone attack the Tatars.

More than two thousand horses were divided among the three border guard stations. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, each guard station had several hundred horses. It was not enough for the Tatars to fill the gap between their teeth after entering the grassland.

In the later period, a serious war horse crisis broke out. The famous cabinet minister Yang Yiqing was sent to this place to rectify the horse administration, and then he officially started the road to promotion.

Yan Chengjin estimated that the memorial from Yuanma Temple in Shaanxi should be sent to the capital soon.

Why did Taizu specifically issue a ban on cattle?

Such emphasis is placed on farming.

It is because the number of farmers in the Ming Dynasty has never increased, and it is extremely important for a farming society.

If breeding and breeding are promoted, livestock such as cattle, war horses, and pigs may reach a new level in quantity.

At this moment, a young eunuch poked his head outside the door of the duty room. When he saw Yan Chengjin Yile, he came over and said, "Master Yan, your Majesty invites you."

Yan Chengjin took out a tael of silver and said, "Why does your Majesty want to see me?"

The little eunuch was overjoyed: "It's about the prince leaving the palace."

When Yan Chengjin arrived at Nuange, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "A few days ago, the prince went with you to the Changning residence?"

Yan Chengjin broke into a cold sweat and encouraged the prince to leave the palace. It was a serious crime. Do you want to admit it?

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with a smile: "How confident are you that Uncle Chang Ning will breed cattle this time?"

Yan Zhizhi blinked and thought for a while: "Twenty percent..."

I didn't know who was stealing water last night, so I deliberately turned on the faucet. It kept ticking all night long. I was so noisy and laughing that I couldn't sleep well all night. I woke up early in the morning and felt dizzy. It was recommended time again at noon. It was tense and exciting, and even more I can't sleep. I've advanced to the next round. I also ask my book friends to continue supporting me. I wrote no less than 7K words in this chapter. After deleting and deleting, I only have more than 2K words left...

Finally, I would like to ask for a wave of favorites and recommendation votes, thank you all.
