Chapter 48 The Old Man Is Counting On Us
The fact that the upper class occupied most of the resources and food so that the lower class could not get enough food actually still existed in the Qing Dynasty, but it could not hold back the crazy growth of the entire country's food production.

Just the amount of food left for the bottom class is enough to support the growth of these populations.

In fact, not only in the Qing Dynasty, these crops actually appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, which also caused the population in the late Ming Dynasty to exceed [-] million.

Unfortunately, the people are rich but the country is poor.

Chongzhen also led to the downfall of Ming Dynasty because of the biggest reason of lack of money.

After knowing this clearly, Zhu Zhanji obtained these crops with the help of the system, so naturally he would not just throw them in the warehouse.

However, the number of crops in hand alone is not enough to promote it across the country, and a transitional period of crop accumulation is needed in the middle.

And this task was handed over to his own brother Zhu Zhanyong.

He took the lead in purchasing a lot of land around the capital, and began to slowly accumulate more crops until the amount of these crops was enough to spread across the country.

At the very least, it must meet the level of large-scale planting around the capital first.

Of course, besides that, Zhu Zhanji still has some selfish intentions.

Seeing that the time for him to ascend the throne in history is getting closer and closer, there are not many good days. Naturally, he can survive a day. After he ascends the throne, the accumulation of these high-yield crops has reached the national promotion degree.

Instead of taking it out early, and then being forced to farm by the old man.

Seeing that everything is developing steadily according to the plan, Zhu Zhanji said with satisfaction: "It's not bad. By the way, what about the aqueduct that I asked you to build? How is the construction going?"

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanyong sighed helplessly, then got on his horse and walked towards the distance together with Zhu Zhanji.

When the two brothers were looking at these recent results, the palace was cleared outside the palace at this time.

The second king of Han and the third king of Zhao knelt under the steps outside the main hall early on. On the steps on both sides of them stood a guard of the Forbidden Palace.

The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was kneeling upright with his hands on his waist.

The youngest Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui on the side couldn't bear to look around, especially the scorching sun in the sky, which made people panic.

"Decapitation is nothing but a scar the size of a bowl, let us both come over to dry it, and he will be happy to dry it into a dry chicken, right?" Zhu Gaosui said with a complaining face.

But Zhu Gaoxu who was at the side was not so impatient, and said with a contemplative face: "The more I think about it now, the more I feel something is wrong. Think about it, it's not the prince who is playing tricks on us, but the old man is plotting against us."

After a whole night last night, the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, seemed to have come to terms with it.

The old man asked him to go to Jiufan, but he didn't.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was deprived of Jinyiwei's power. It is a temptation. If you don't speak, then boil the frog in warm water and get back the power little by little.

If you resist, fine.As soon as he rebelled, the old man had a handle in his hands, and he had even more reason to force him to do so.

In other words, all their reactions are actually in the old man's calculations.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's appearance, the youngest Zhu Gaosui beside him was surprised.

Is this what the second child can say?

Can't help looking at him.

Seeing the surprised look of the third child, the second child Zhu Gaoxu also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and simply said in a broken jar, "Anyway, everything has been done, stretching out the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife."

But before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxuan who was at the side slapped Zhu Gaoxu's waist in shock: "Hold down."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice a little, and continued: "We'll see if we get into trouble later, if he doesn't feel ashamed, he'll kill both of us."

Although the voice was a little low at the beginning, but the second child has this character, and the voice grows louder and louder.

The third child immediately frowned and said, "Okay, little, keep your voice down."

"You want to die, but I don't want to die."

Seeing the scared look of the third child, the second child Zhu Gaoxu suddenly laughed.

"I said, third child, are you so afraid? Isn't it just a rebellion. Anyway, I won't go to Jiufan. Whoever wants to go to Yunnan will go."

Seeing that the second brother Zhu Gaoxu was so righteous, as if it was the old man who made the mistake, he was a little puzzled for a while and said: "Second brother, did you eat the courage of a bear and a leopard today? You are so confident, and I don't usually see you in front of dad much. a."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, seeing that the youngest saw through, he immediately smiled, but didn't say anything anymore.

But Zhu Gaosui on the side was different from him. He, Zhu Gaoxu, found a helper, but Zhu Gaosui didn't, and his whole heart was still in suspense.

"Then what did the emperor say when he asked?"

Looking at the guilty Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaoxu immediately put his arms around the shoulder of the third child, and said, "Listen to me, anyway, the defense change is reasonable and legal, isn't it? We have already said the greetings that should be said in advance, so why not let the army enter?" City? He suspects us, is he suspicious? Did I not greet the Ministry of War, or did I not tell the emperor?"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Gaosui felt quite reasonable.

On the other hand, Zhu Gaoxu continued to flicker: "I think someone is trying to provoke the relationship between us and the emperor. Who is this person?"

Saying that, Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his left hand and gave a thumbs up in front of the third Zhu Gaosui.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's gesture, Zhu Gaosui's mind was running fast, and he gave a thumbs up to look in front of him, and after thinking about it, he put the thumb in front of his second child Zhu Gaoxu.

I don't know whether to say that the second child is smart, or that the second child is shameless and has a strong ability to beat him up.

Outside the city, in the suburbs of Beijing.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong quickly came to the plain next to the river on the other side of the mountain under the spur of the horse.

This piece of plain grassland was originally a wasteland, and a piece of wild grass was densely covered.

But now under Zhu Zhanyong's plan, the entire land of nearly [-] mu is divided into pieces, and in the center of the square fields are rows of water canals made of concrete.

These canals are like the lines on the entire land, flowing neatly through all parts of the land.

In a low-lying mountain crevasse, a huge reservoir was built by taking advantage of the surrounding suitable terrain.

Naturally, this reservoir cannot be compared with the reservoirs of later generations. Both in terms of scale and quality, it is very inferior. It can't even be called a reservoir. It is just a big pool that can hold a lot of water.

The water here can ensure that these lands can have sufficient water to irrigate the land even in the dry season with little precipitation.

Not only that, but the place where the reservoir is located is low for the area along the river, but it is high for the other part of the mountain.

As long as the gate made of steel is opened, the water will automatically flow downstream along the channel.

Under this plan, the wasteland around this unnamed earth mountain has instantly become tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.

Although the cultivated area is not much now, as long as it continues to accumulate, this whole area is the best place to grow rice.
