A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 Fishing in the sea, the glory of blue jade
That's all.

The feudal king also came to join in the fun.

There is really no need to pay taxes on their royal land. You must know that King Fu's fiefdom covers a total of [-] hectares. Not to mention all the vacant land in Henan, the land in Huguang and Shandong was also used to make up for it.

Where did the money go in the late Ming Dynasty?All the money goes here.

Yan Ling knew the problem very well, but he did not make suggestions to Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, he knew the shortcomings of many things in the Ming Dynasty, and he was not without confidence in persuading Zhu Yuanzhang to modify them.

Because of his background, Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to learn, but he still had shortcomings in many areas, such as the economy. It can be seen from a series of government decrees during the Hongwu period that he really didn't understand.

However, what can be said, Yan Ling also said, the Ming Dynasty was more prosperous, and being a family under its rule also had advantages. For example, the current Lao Zhu did not randomly print banknotes to deceive people like in the original time and space.

However, economic policies, those places where loopholes can be exploited, are basically beneficial to the gentry. If he stops it, it will be at the expense of harming his family's interests, such as land taxation. As a big landowner, Yan Ling, does he want to poach himself?

And when it comes to the issue of the vassal king, it is a dead end. Lao Zhu's clan concept is too strong.

Anyway, when the time comes, it will be good to protect the tenant tribesmen under their rule.

Yan Ya walked away as if he didn't understand. In fact, he still didn't understand some things, but he knew that his father would not harm him. His father's god-like performance last time shocked him deeply. Now he finally understood why his mother called him He is a "person inspired by immortals" and firmly believes that his father can never make mistakes.

According to Yan Ling's arrangement, the Yan family started a low-key development in the southeast.

Yan Ling's 99 games were not in vain. He really has a good way of doing business.

During the three years that Yan Ya stayed at home, the Yan family gradually began to prosper.

Yan Ling forced all children to attend private schools at the age of five until they were 12 years old. Then they took exams and selected the best ones to enter the school to continue their studies, while the rest were engaged in farming and craftsmanship.This method is very effective, and the Yan family can steadily produce dozens of scholars every year. Since Zhu Yuanzhang reopened the imperial examination in the 17th year of Hongwu, the Yan family has had five candidates, four with the third-level Jinshi, and one with the second-level Jinshi. Today They all served as officials in the capital.

Those who are not qualified to go to school have benefits. Yan Ling gathered a group of old craftsmen and farmers to write down some key points of work and farming, and distributed them to these literate people for free. The book summarizing all the experiences is better than oral and auditory. According to legend, the inheritance is more complete, and at the same time, they can also teach their parents to read in reverse.

Yan Ling also hired a large number of storytellers and opened teahouses for entertainment.This was an important means of disseminating ideas at that time. It mainly talked about the generals of the Yang family, the romances of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc. Although on the surface they were loyal and loved the king, they actually brought personal goods, telling you that to do great things, your clan members must be reliable. Be united.

In the past, due to Yan Ling's long-term absence and remote control, the Yan family basically maintained the status quo, as long as it did not collapse. Now that the backbone is back, many places are once again in full swing.

While Yan Ling was building major infrastructure, another major event happened in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Mongolia had been basically expelled from the Great Wall, but they were entrenched in the grasslands and were still a force that should not be underestimated, threatening the dynasty's northern frontier.

Facing Bei Yuan, who still had strong strength, Zhu Yuanzhang sent out his new generation ace - Lan Yu.

At this time, he is no longer the young general who once followed Chang Yuchun. Although he has arrogant flaws in his character, he has conquered Sichuan, attacked Gansu, conquered Yunnan, and surrendered to Nahachu in recent years. After hundreds of battles in the south, he created a rare and famous general.

Yan Ling and Lan Yu actually have a close relationship, because Yan Ling and Chang Yuchun have a very good relationship, and Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law. Although he is arrogant, he is also respectful, and he cannot be crazy in front of Yan Ling.

Yan Ling also reminded him to keep a low profile.

However, Lan Yu has been out on the field for many years, winning consecutive battles and winning titles. Yan Ling said a few words, but most of them calmed down for a period of time. When he achieved new achievements, he immediately returned to his old ways. After a long time, Yan Ling even spoke to him. They all started to ignore him, so Yan Ling stopped being annoying.

Besides, it's useless to mention it. Lan Yu has just changed. Will Zhu Yuanzhang let him go in a few years?
The young master is suspicious!This master is not from the Chang family who is closely related to the Huaixi generals.

It can be said that from the moment Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying both died, Lan Yu's fate was doomed.

Fortunately, at this time, it was only the 21st year of Hongwu. Although Zhu Biao was already showing signs of fatigue, he was still in his prime, and Lan Yu would never think about this.

His attention was all on the vast grassland in front of him.Behind him were a total of 15 Ming troops. They had followed their commander deep into the barren land for several months.

In the vast desert, the Yuan army did not know where to hide, and no one was seen. The Ming army had suffered a lot of hardships along the way.

Retreat.This is the opinion of most generals, and they can no longer hold on.

"How can I live up to His Majesty's kindness by retreating like this?"

Lan Yu rejected their suggestions.

The Ming army set off again.

Distressed people, God does not give up.

A few days later, in the south of Yuyuerhai, the Ming army finally discovered traces of the Yuan army.

With Wang Bi as the vanguard and thousands of cavalry as the main force, Lan Yu launched his offensive.

Clear the desert in this battle!
The wind and sand in the sky covered up the clatter of horse hooves. It was not until they got close that the sentries finally saw the cavalry wielding sabers. They rushed into the Yuan army with the anger and unstoppable momentum they had been holding back for months. 's camp.

The Yuan army was defeated.

After thousands of cavalry, 15 Ming troops poured into the Yuan army camp. The Yuan army was unprepared. The army of more than [-] people was defeated in the blink of an eye. Not long after the battle began, the Ming army had already broken the camp and began Chase.

The Mongols, who were proud of their cavalry and archery, finally met their end at the hands of the cavalry.

In this battle, the Yuan army captured more than [-] people, hundreds of princes, concubines, and princesses, more than [-] officials, and countless gold, silver, cattle and sheep. The Yuan emperor's seal was also captured by the Ming army. The emperor and the prince of the Yuan Dynasty only escaped with their lives. .

After this battle, the last remaining power of the Yuan Dynasty was completely defeated, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed.

The Ming-Yuan War that began in the first year of Wu finally came to an official end 20 years later.

Unparalleled achievement!

Lan Yu's name has left a mark in history.

But then, he immediately revealed his true colors.

First, the "Private Princess", and then because the guard was a little late in opening the door, he directly attacked the city and broke into it.

However, at this time, his favor was still very strong. Even if he did something tantamount to treason like attacking his own city, Zhu Yuanzhang only changed his title from "Dong Liang" to "Dong Liang".

It's like saying yes and just swearing a few words.

It can be seen that, at least until now, Zhu Yuanzhang really appreciates him and regards him as his favorite general.

Yan Ling was in the south. When he received the news, he also sighed and lamented.

Enjoy your last life, Lan Yu.
