Chapter 47 Are You Still Complaining?

The old man Zhu Gaochi scolded immediately when he heard this: "You bastard, what are you talking about? If this old man really beheaded, you think our family will be better off. Besides, it's your second uncle who beheaded you. Head, still exiled, you little bastard."

Hearing his father's scolding, Zhu Zhanji just smiled but didn't answer, turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanyong who was sitting with his old mother, Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and said: "Okay, don't hide , I won’t beat you up. By the way, don’t sleep tonight, wait at the house, someone brings something over at night, and you just receive it.”

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanyong was taken aback: "What?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and gave a meaningful wink.

Zhu Zhanyong is also very clever. He really understood something from Zhu Zhanji's eyes, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Are you still suing?" Zhu Zhanji asked intentionally.

Zhu Zhanyong immediately said cheerfully: "I won't sue, I won't sue."

The breathless Zhu Zhanji stopped chatting with them, turned around and returned to his room.

Early the next morning.

Princess Han ordered someone to come to the prince's mansion with gifts early on.

In the lobby, the Crown Princess was sitting on the main seat hugging her puppy and listening helplessly to Princess Han saying some sad things to her.

On the side, boxes of gifts piled up into hills.

"Hey, the King of Han has been marching and fighting with the old man for so many years. This body looks like a spirit, but it is not good. It is all supported by one breath. If this breath is to be vented, it looks like a walking dead. He can't bear it. Make up, these things should be used to make up for the prince. The King of Han also said that this weekdays has only fueled my brother. Originally, the things in the palace were intended to honor my brother slowly. I don’t have much time left, so I thought I’d bring some more.”

Seeing the sighing appearance of Princess Han, the Crown Princess hurriedly said: "Oh, what is this? To be honest, the Crown Prince is regent. I often wake up at night and see that he is still in the batch of papers. My blood has been drained."

"But the emperor doesn't want to see you, and the brothers don't agree. I feel bitter." Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at Princess Han.

Seeing the embarrassment on her face, she continued: "So, how much better is his body than that of your family's? It's not enough to make up for it. We dare not ask for these things."

Princess Han saw that the crown princess was not willing to accept these things at all, and she was also thinking about what the King of Han told her before leaving the house. While worrying in her heart, she also said inconsequentially: "Among the princes, only the third child is alive. The best, sooner or later you will be the emperor?"

Speaking of this, the two sisters-in-law immediately laughed.

In fact, both of them are clear in their hearts and can see things clearly.

One came to give a gift, and the other was given a gift but deliberately refused to accept it, which could not break the family's bond.

While the two of them were still talking about the so-called self-deprecating words, Zhu Zhanji, who was outside the window of the lobby, was holding back a laugh in his heart.

My own family is really interesting.

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhu Zhanji walked towards his younger brother Zhu Zhanyong's room.

Before entering the door, Zhu Zhanji heard the sound of snoring in the room. Thinking that this kid must not have slept well last night, he suddenly felt teasing in his heart.

Picking a leaf off a branch in the yard at random, he sat by his bed and kept fiddling with his nose with the leaf.

Zhu Zhanyong's sleeping figure with his mouth wide open, couldn't help wrinkling when he noticed something on his nose, and reached out to touch it when he saw that it still felt itchy.

While grabbing the leaf with one hand, he woke up suddenly.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji sitting beside the bed with a smile on his face, Zhu Zhanyong lay back helplessly and said, "Brother, what are you doing? I didn't sleep last night, so I will count the amount of money for you." Now, let me sleep for a while, just for a while."

But Zhu Zhanji couldn't tolerate him, so he lifted his quilt with a smile, and said, "Why do you sleep, get up, and take elder brother to the farmland you made, so that elder brother can see how much money you have. Where did it all go?"

Zhu Zhanyong still said helplessly: "Brother, what's so good about the farmland, can you still run away? Wait for me to sleep for a while, and when I wake up, my brother will take you there."

Zhu Zhanji still said: "No, just now, if you don't get up again, you will pour water."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanyong, who knew that Zhu Zhanji could do such a bad thing, suddenly sat up in a stomach full of anger.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, I'll take you there, you said how can I have a big brother like you."

He cursed even more in his heart: Returning to the eldest brother, returning to supervise the country, this is not a pure bully.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the wasteland at the foot of a mountain in the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong stood on a hill, looking at the hundreds of farmers on the plain at the foot of the mountain in the distance, either cultivating wasteland, or planting seeds and watering.

In the middle of this plain, many farmhouses have been built. Although the current number is not so many, the scattered farmhouses really look like a mountain village when viewed from a distance.

The peasant women in the village brought their children, and the old farmers in the fields worked the land.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhanji was quite satisfied, at least his debt collector didn't fool him.

It doesn't matter if it's just fooling around with some money, then Zhu Zhanji will pass by with one eye closed.

Anyway, he is his own brother, so it is not a loss.

The most important reason why I have to come and see it with my own eyes today is that the crops grown here are not trivial.

Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Potatoes.
Every single one of these will be something that can completely change Daming.

Their high output will largely meet the needs of Daming's current population, and with sufficient food and food, the population will experience explosive growth.

You know, the population of China in the early Ming Dynasty was only about 50 million
In addition to the reason that the upper class occupies most of the resource food and the lower class cannot get enough food, there is also a crucial reason that the total amount of food produced and planted in the entire Ming Dynasty cannot meet the needs of population development.

The most obvious is the contrast between the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After experiencing the natural disasters and wars in the late Ming Dynasty, the population of China fell to about 4 million.But what is strange is that after the reign of the three emperors in the prosperous Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the population of the Qing Dynasty directly exceeded 60 million, and even reached as many as [-] million.During the Daoguang period, it developed crazily to a giant of [-] million!

The reason for such a change is not simply that the so-called Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong's governance levels far surpassed the ancient and modern.

Of course, it has a lot to do with Kangxi's policy of dividing the land into acres, but to a greater extent, it is because these high-yield crops entered China from outside the region and spread all over the country.
