Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Therefore, this barbarian is a confidant of Daming. Almost the most elite military horses in the entire Ming Dynasty are mobilized in the northern border towns. In order to support this military horse, the imperial court can be said to be exhausted. This is why a group of mere Japanese pirates, The reason why it was able to ravage the southeast was that the imperial court did not focus on the southeast at all.

But now... a bright prospect is placed in front of Liu Jian and others.

Maybe... One day, when there is no more threat in the desert, can Da Ming go deep into the desert and worry-free from then on?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao: "I still don't understand why these Tatars are attached. Fang Qing's family said that you know the Tatars best. I want to hear what you have to say."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, and said: "I'm a little tired, I just came from Xingong."

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to say: "Come, give the crown prince a seat."

An eunuch hurriedly moved Jindun, Zhu Houzhao sat down, and then said: "It's very simple, because the ministers burned and killed their horse fodder, cattle and sheep, they were already suffering disasters, and there was not enough food and grass to survive this long period of time. In the winter, plus the remaining cattle and horses, they were all slaughtered by the ministers and their grain stores were burned, and they are determined not to survive this winter."

"Tatars are also human beings. Da Ming always regards them as beasts. They are just plundering. There is no difference in behavior from beasts. But they are also human beings. As human beings, they are also afraid of starvation. When people are hungry, they will die. Yes. Not only will I starve to death, but my wife and children will also starve to death.”

"After such a toss, the whole desert fell apart, but it's just around the corner. Those Tatars, who are not fools, don't understand. There are many people but few meat. Everyone wants to live, and the tribes that have food, will In the face of crazy attacks from the nearby tribes, the tribes without food will not care whether you are from your own family or whether you are from the same family, in order to prevent your wives and children from starving to death, they will definitely kill you."

"This kind of thing actually happened again and again in the desert. Any Tatars knew that they were doomed. Therefore, the servants killed their cattle and horses, burned their food stores, and returned them A way to survive. If you want to survive, obediently throw away your weapons, give up your bow and arrows, and come to the border town, as long as they are willing to obediently attach themselves, the servants can reward them with a bite of food."

"Father." Zhu Houzhao said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. The people of Ming Dynasty are like this, and so are the Tatars. In the past, a group of scholars with bad brains always said that they wanted to educate the barbarians..."

Liu Jian was a little confused...

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang couldn't help shaking their heads secretly.

But... they have nothing to say.

Scholars... do have a higher heart. As for whether the brain is broken...

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan at the same time. This is Fang Jifan, and he obviously has a brain disease.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "But they don't understand that the barbarians are barbarians because they are in the mountains and deserts. They have to kill and rob them to live. What can a so-called sage teach? ? The bottom line is that the barbarians will also be hungry, and what they need is to live in peace."

"I have already thought about it, the town government, in the desert, will wantonly open mines and recruit refugees, including Tatars, and I will allow them to cultivate and let them settle down. As long as they settle, they will live forever Afterwards, they are no different from the people of Daming. They cannot be nomads. They have settlements. If they are rebellious, what Daming is best at is attacking cities. Mining, with sufficient labor, the Xishan desert reclamation strategy can also be implemented. If you want to change the desert, you need to change the production methods of everyone in the desert. This is what Fang Jifan said. The biggest threat to Ming Dynasty, In fact, it was never a Tatar, not even... not the former Huns and Turks..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, staring at Zhu Houzhao, a little confused.

Zhu Houzhao said triumphantly: "It's the nomadic way of the desert. It is because they are nomadic that their men are born warriors. And because this nomadic way of life is extremely unstable, they can't resist any natural disasters, so they have to fight for it." , If you don’t rob, you will starve to death or freeze to death. A group of born warriors, in order to fill their stomachs and feed women and children, their ambition and cruelty are so terrible. So for thousands of years, they drove away After the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people came again. After the Xianbei people disappeared, there were Turkic people again. After the Turkic people, there were Mongols who inherited their mantle. In the final analysis, it is because of this.”

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be touched: "So, in the desert, nomadic animals are not allowed?"

"It is natural to raise cattle and sheep, but they cannot be nomads. The court can designate pastures and let people raise some cattle and sheep, especially horses, which can not only provide meat, but also be used for farming, and can even be supplemented by soldiers. middle."

Zhu Houzhao seems to have been thinking about this issue all the time. Under Fang Jifan's guidance, his countless ideas gradually began to mature and improve: "But the most important problem at the moment is to let the Tatars grow potatoes and sweet potatoes so that they can settle In this way, with a stable food supply, they can live without looting. Their surplus food needs to be sold, and through trade, they are more dependent on exchanging goods in market towns .”

"And once you settle down, there is a saying that monks can't run away from the temple. In this desert, there is no law. The fundamental reason is that people are nomads. Let alone the dispute between them and my Ming Dynasty, even if they are Tatars. Between people, if there is a disagreement, they will draw their swords at each other, without any reason. The reason is that they have no fixed place, and even if there is a law, it is in vain

. But once he settled down, it was different. He always had brothers and sisters, wife and children. Gradually, they began to have scruples. They learned to grow food. It was taken away, so it is especially important to make it settled, and to reclaim the desert and discover desert minerals. "

Liu Jian and others, sit down obediently.

In fact, such 'economic means' are unfamiliar to them.

But Xishan Academy's method is indeed very effective, so naturally, they have to pay attention to it.

In his life, Liu Jian claimed to be a competent minister, but his scope of being a capable minister was nothing more than leading officials and skillfully operating the huge imperial machinery.

As for what Fang Jifan and His Royal Highness are doing, he is very unfamiliar, and he is even just a student.

This made him have to digest and think slowly.

When you are old, you still have to suffer.

However, it seems that what His Royal Highness said is very reasonable. He nodded and said: "The old minister understands a little bit. The essence of the Tatar problem is that they are unrestrained and nomadic. To prescribe the right medicine, we must change this situation. But How can it be so easy for people not to be nomadic? If they are not nomadic, what do they eat? Therefore, for thousands of years, all dynasties have fought victoriously in the desert, but they have never been able to change the habits of the people in the desert, and there is no way to change their habits. Even if the people in the desert cannot compete with the Central Plains, sooner or later, they will strengthen themselves, and when there is civil strife in the Central Plains, they will start to rebel."

Liu Jiandao: "The essential problem is to use a better way to change their nomadism and let them know that there is another life in this world that can be more nourishing than nomadic life. Therefore, mining minerals can be Enriching the people makes them have money, so they can exchange what they need more, and they are willing to communicate and trade. The promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes can fill their stomachs."

"And as long as the nomads are eliminated, the Tatars in the desert are actually no different from the people of Ming. Even if someone wants to make trouble, Ming can easily deal with them. And they can increase grain production by cultivating land. They mine for their own benefit, and the owners of the mine..."

Liu Jian glanced at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan was dumbfounded: "Mr. Liu, don't talk nonsense. I donated all the mines to the country. Now it is called United Mining. There are shares in the palace. All the gentlemen here also have shares. My Fang family has no shares. How much is it? I am a person with family and country in my heart. Is it not rare for Fang Jifan to put his public affairs before his private affairs, and others before himself? Why do you depend on what I do when it comes to mines?"

Liu Jian suddenly coughed.

The Liu family really has some shares. As for the others... Liu Jian glanced sideways at Xie Qian and the others around him, and everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Emperor Hongzhi also felt that Fang Jifan had been wronged. The minerals in the desert were indeed donated by Jifan. , He donated it without saying a word. This Daming, who can compare to him?

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Well, I know how Fang Qing's family is. Fang Qing's family, don't feel wronged. Liu Qing's family did not look at you intentionally."

Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the old minister just glanced at it casually, and has no other intentions."

Muttering in my heart.

No matter how valuable the mines are, they are not worth as much as the land. This desert land is so vast. It all belongs to your Fang family. Now even the Tatars have become miners. Countless fields will be reclaimed. You Fang Jifan also said that you are at a disadvantage ?

In this world, what is valuable is not mines, but people.

Of course, Liu Jian would never dare to say this. Now Fang Jifan is simply the number one bully in the world. He is trying to build a palace for the emperor. Don’t ask the court to pay a penny. Who dares to say that Fang Jifan is such a bully If you take advantage of others, it will provoke public outrage.

"All in all, this is a matter of mutual benefit. I don't know if what the old man said is right."

…………

besides.
