I'm a big dick

Chapter 226

For the sake of Daming's industry and the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao had to do evil things that green environmental protection organizations detest.

But it cannot be denied that whaling is a lucrative industry.Compared with the value and wide use of whale oil, edible whale meat is nothing.

Yingzi was a little moved, but thinking of his old father, he shook his head hesitantly and said, "I'm afraid my father won't go."

Zhang Zhuzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to wave his hands generously, and said, "It's fine not to go. As far as the environment is concerned, our island is better. The ocean island is small, with strong winds and waves, and you can't even sleep. safe."

Yingzi nodded with a smile, and said, "Even if I don't go, I have to thank Brother Zhang. Such an errand should make people overwhelmed, right?"

Zhang Zhuzi chuckled twice, and said, "Then I'll ask someone else, they're in a hurry!"

Yingzi moved aside, and when Zhang Zhuzi walked over, he stretched out his hand and shouted, "Brother Zhang, I have to ask you to help me when I install the iron stove in my house!"

Zhang Zhuzi didn't turn his head back, he smiled and raised his hands, and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you when the time comes."

Watching the tossing figure gradually go away, Yingzi shook the long pole in his hand, suddenly swung the big goose with the rag tied to the pole, and scolded with a smile: "What are you looking at, stupid goose, why are you so stupid? "

......................
What are you looking at, stupid idiot, you don't even know corn? !

Zhu Youxiao took two pieces and put them in front of Xiaobai.The cats smelled it and they really ate it.

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Youxiao was wondering whether cats could eat corn, but he couldn't find any relevant knowledge in his memory.

"Your Majesty." Li Chengcheng said cautiously beside him: "This slave is still eating grass when she sees Lady Bai!"

eat grass?Zhu Youxiao doesn't know why, so he thinks it's okay to mix meat and vegetables.What animals lack, I may know, and I will look for it from nature.

Picking up the knife, he cut a small piece of corn and handed it to Li Chengcheng.Zhu Youxiao signaled the girl to take the cat aside and feed him, while he picked up the question book and started to deal with official duties.

Corn seems to have been introduced to China earlier than sweet potatoes, but its name is "Yu Mai" or "Fan Mai".It was not until the publication of Xu Guangqi's "Nongzheng Quanshu" that the name "corn" came into being.

According to reports from various places, corn has been planted in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and other places, in about ten provinces.

But it's just planting, and it hasn't been widely promoted.The reason does not lie in technology, but in that corn does not have a prominent advantage over traditional crops in the plains.

Mountains, barren land, cold resistance, and mountain reclamation caused by population growth and land mergers are the reasons why corn can finally be planted on a large scale.

Obviously, with sweet potatoes and pumpkins, there is no urgency to spread corn on a large scale.Although Zhu Youxiao is counting on his fingers, there are still five or six years before the outbreak of the Little Ice Age.

This is also the reason why he wants to strive for five years to flatten the Liao Dynasty. When the natural disaster breaks out, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to fight with Jiannu.

From the current point of view, the technology tree does not need to be climbed too high or too fast, and the five-year Pingliao plan has already had a good start.

This also strengthened Zhu Youxiao's determination to continue Annei.As long as there are no major internal problems and the front line is secure and tightly sealed, there is absolutely no chance of building slaves.

Although this year's reform and rectification is still short, it has already seen results.

In particular, the payment of Qingtun and the opening of the sea ban basically solved the problem of the payment of officers and soldiers in border towns and the funds for strengthening the naval equipment.

Therefore, although the internal treasury did not receive much money, or even decreased, the national treasury was still not rich.However, the money saved and spent greatly improved Ming's military strength.

Zhu Youxiao watched Shanxi governor Yang Lian's performance, pondered for a moment, and wrote the instructions.

Although Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou belonged to the Donglin Party, they were quite different from Guanghui officials who spouted nonsense and were even corrupt.

Zuo Guangdou was well-versed in water conservancy and made great contributions to the water conservancy and farmland in Jifu; Yang Lian started as a local official and was once ranked as the number one honest official in the country; both of them are capable of practical work and are upright and clean.

You can't let such an official be an official, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't need admonishers like Wei Zheng very much.But putting them in places to do practical work is the right choice in terms of effect.

Yang Lian did a good job in Qingtun, Shanxi Province.Not even afraid of death, but afraid of offending others?
But it is not easy for Shanxi to develop, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't have many options.Mineral resources are abundant, but the current technical conditions cannot be exploited on a large scale.

Of course, Yang Lian did not raise the issue of economic development, which was still the traditional way of governing feudal society.

After Zhu Youxiao finished his instructions, he didn't tell Yang Lian his plan to attack some Shanxi merchants.

Tradition is tradition. If the common people can eat and not make trouble, Yang Lian can be considered qualified, and he doesn't need to do other things.

Picking up another title book, it was Fu Zonglong, the governor of Guizhou, who made a plea.

Apparently, the Ming army adopted the strategy of garrisoning fields, sealing and besieging, and using defense as an offensive, which made An Bangyan feel fear and pressure.

Before the Quartet Ming Army had completed its military deployment, An Bangyan led the rebels to cross the Yachi River suddenly and launched an attack, trying to break the siege of the Ming Army.

Lu Qin, the general soldier, was trapped in the isolated city, and led his troops to resist with all their strength. With the help of muskets and thunderbolts, they inflicted a large number of casualties on the rebels.

The failure of the rebel siege gave the Ming army a chance to mobilize and counterattack.

Fu Zonglong sent Zhou Hongtu and Hu Congyi to lead the army to capture Shaheba first, and then went down to Guangshun, Dingfan (Huishui), Qingyan, Baina and other places.Then he personally supervised the battle and killed Lao Chongtian, an important leader of the An army, in Zhaoguantun.

Seeing that he was about to be flanked by the Ming army, An Bangyan had to retreat hastily.As for the defense line of the Yachi River, the Ming army lost and gained again.

This should be regarded as victory after defeat, Zhu Youxiao pondered to make a judgment.But blocking An Bangyan back again and causing a lot of losses to the rebels, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a great victory.

The deployment of the Ming army has not yet been finalized, and it is understandable that the rebels broke through the line of defense.

The important thing is that An Bangyan is afraid and impatient. What does this mean?It shows that the strategy of turning defense into offense, blocking and besieging, and making steady progress is correct.

If the enemy is afraid, then it must be carried out; if the enemy wants it, then it must not be done.

Zhu Youxiao is not a military genius, but he can analyze psychologically, understand empathy, and know the general trend of history.

Therefore, he can draw relatively correct conclusions, and take a long-term view, and will not change his original intention with one or two wins or losses.

Writing instructions, Zhu You proofreads Fu Zonglong as encouragement and praise.Let him continue the strategy of hoarding and don't waver.At the same time, he will also reward Luqin for his dedication in fighting to the death.

As soon as the title book was put down, the palace servants came in to report, and Sun Yuanhua came to see him.

Is it a matter of minting coins?Zhu Youxiao guessed that Xuansun Yuanhua entered the palace.

Sun Yuanhua paid homage to him, presented the sample coins, his face flashed with pride, and pretended to be reserved, bowed his body and waited for Wanzai's instructions.
