I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

In the distant land of Liaodong, at the foot of Luding Mountain and beside the Black Dragon River, a massacre without any suspense is going on.

The land of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, has no interest in it.

Anyway, the victory and defeat have been divided, and the large amount of "prodigal value" he cares about has already arrived in the account. As for the tens of thousands of Jiannu elite cavalry... If Mao Yuanyi, Cao Wenzhao, and Zheng Zhilong can't wipe them all out, then they can eat shit up.

This kind of firepower configuration, even if it is pulled to the Northeast battlefield hundreds of years later, can beat the Japanese devils to the ground.

A mere tens of thousands of prairie cavalry is simply a dish.

In other words, as Mao Yuanyi said, a crop of good wheat is full of grains and easy to harvest. After a round of artillery fires, a large piece of it will fall down in unison.

It's just... boring.

"Hongliu, send a letter to Zheng Zhilong asking if there is any change on the Koryo Peninsula?"

"What is that old boy Mao Wenlong doing?"

"Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming under his command rebelled. Where will they go? Don't be careless. Those three bastards, I really didn't expect to rebel at this time."

"It's just three cursed idiots!"

Miss Hongliu was stunned, and asked in amazement: "Why is it a cursed idiot?"

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian fell silent.

This is a little secret.

Can't you tell Miss Hongliu that the body of the "Emperor Chongzhen" in front of her hides a social animal soul hundreds of years later?

How embarrassing that would be!

"Hongliu, you just need to remember that I know astronomy from above and geography from below. I know everything about ancient and modern China and foreign countries. I know everything about science and miscellaneous calculations, the art of war, military strategy... Cough, cough, anyway, it's very powerful."

The idiot emperor finally raised his eyebrows, laughed loudly, and after boasting triumphantly, he began to plan another battle.

To the north of Shanhaiguan, the entire Liaoxi Corridor and Jiannu's Lair, as well as the Koli Peninsula and Dongjiang Town, are still out of control, especially the three of Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, which make the idiot emperor feel uncomfortable.

By the way, there is another Wu Sangui!

"Hongliu, that Wu Sangui that I asked you to investigate, what is he doing now?" the idiot emperor asked suddenly.

"Wu Sangui? Wu Xiang's son?" Miss Hongliu took a little concentration and took a small box from the bookshelf. When she opened it, it was a thick stack of paper.

She rummaged through it for a while, took out a piece of paper, and said: "Wu Sangui, when Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and others rebelled, was urgently repatriated by his father Wu Xiang and sneaked back to Daming.

Today, they should hide in their ancestral homeland.

Jiangnan Gaoyou. "

"Hiding in Gaoyou's hometown?" Zhu Youjian was stunned, and said with a smile: "This Wu Xiang is not simple, he can't fight, and he is timid, but he has a good brain."

Miss Hongliu smiled and said: "Yes, these Liaoxi generals are actually very powerful heroes. If it weren't for the young master's layout, maybe these people would have succeeded."

The idiot emperor secretly thought, what a shit, is it easy for me to travel here?

Let Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and other idiots succeed?Then I can really eat shit.

"Pass the decree to Wei Zhongxian, chop Wu Sangui up and feed it to the dogs." The idiot emperor gave an order, "At all costs, we must kill him by the roots. If this can't be done, let Wei Zhongxian go to Fujian to find his wife .”

The hero of the generation, the sinner of the Ming Dynasty, the traitor Wu Sangui, was soon caught, and as expected, he was chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs as Zhu Youjian ordered.

Of course, these are trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

For the idiot emperor, killing a Wu Sangui only earned tens of thousands of 'prodigal value'...

……

After dealing with a bunch of trivial matters at hand, the idiot emperor urgently summoned Qian Qianyi, Zhang Ruitu, Yang He and other court officials.

There was no suspense in the battle of Liaodong, but it was just a question of the length of time and the amount of ammunition wasted. With Mao Yuanyi sitting on the front line of Shanhaiguan, and with the assistance of Sun Chengzong and others, there was basically no danger.

What made Zhu Youjian very worried was Daming's infrastructure, agriculture and water conservancy, etc.

In his own words, if the basic situation of the Ming Dynasty stabilized and the common people had enough food to survive, no matter how much the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River struggled, they would be nothing but grasshoppers after autumn, and they would not be able to jump for long.

However, in such a mess, to completely solve the food problem, it would be... Zhu Youjian's headache just thinking about it.

Ever since he crossed over, his mind has been constantly thinking about how to get food.

Now, the war in Liaodong is almost over, and the threat of Jiannu cavalry is no longer very important.

The problem of food is still the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty...

……

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Yellow River Basin has suffered from severe drought year after year. Under Your Majesty's wise decisions, many agricultural facilities in the north have been built, but it is still far from enough. There are still contiguous mansions in Henan, Shaanxi, and Shandong. There is a famine in the county."

"In addition, the rebellion of more than a dozen refugees that had subsided before the winter began to revive recently. They have begun to gather rapidly, besiege the government offices of prefectures and counties, and even start grabbing food."

"Your Majesty, please send a decree to suppress the refugees and thieves, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" The idiot emperor, who rarely went to the court to discuss matters, was suddenly furious, kicked Wei Zhongxian beside him, and scolded: "The common people can't eat, and don't let them rebel? There is no such reason in this world." what!

You, you, you, and you, from today on, you are not allowed to eat for five days and five nights, and you only drink a bowl of cold water for each meal. I just want to see what will happen to you!
If after starving for a few days, you can still stand here and talk eloquently, talking about refugees and bandits, shouting and killing, then I will obey you, give you a chance to get promoted and make a fortune, and let you lead the army to conquer, how about it? "

All the ministers were silent.

Everyone has experienced the methods of idiot emperors. The so-called expropriation and suppression of refugees before was just a routine operation. Didn’t the emperors of all dynasties do it like this?

The treasury is empty, like being licked by a dog.

The government treasuries and warehouses in various places are also empty, and there is simply no enough food to relieve the victims. What else can we do if we don't suppress and kill a group of refugees?
"Qian Qianyi, Zhang Ruitu, Yang He, you three come forward, I have something to ask." The idiot emperor said angrily.

Smoothly, he slapped him down, causing Wei Zhongxian to stagger again.

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

The other ministers are not things, and they frequently conquer and kill the common people. Long live, why do you beat and scold your servants?
However, Wei Zhongxian, who was beaten and scolded, had a look of joy on his face.

What does this mean?It shows that the idiot emperor still values ​​him Wei Zhongxian very much. Doesn't the idiot emperor often talk about it, that beating is pro-swearing or love!
"The three of you are my shoulders and the pillars of our country. Right now, the war in Liaodong is tense, and those idiots in the Nine Borders are restless. Therefore, I desperately hope that the three of you can solve the current round of famine."

The idiot emperor looked worriedly at Qian Qianyi, Zhang Ruitu, and Yang He, and continued, "You three are in charge of the cabinet, the Ministry of Industry, and especially Yang Aiqing. The Daming Engineering Bureau is my reliance."

The three quickly bowed and said in unison: "Your Majesty is holy!"

Zhu Youjian sighed secretly, and slandered: "Your Majesty, Shengming, what a fart, after several years of management, you can easily beat down the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Liaodong, but I still can't solve the problems of the common people of Ming Dynasty." The problem of eating.

That's still a piece of wool...'

"Qian Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, you draw up a decree for me, order the world, and call the students who love agriculture and mulberry and worry about the world to come to Beijing. I want to re-establish the Daming Agricultural College."

Reorganize, Daming Agricultural College?

All the ministers looked at each other, this Daming Agricultural College has never been established, right?How can we reorganize it?
However, the emperor was in high spirits, and everyone kept silent tacitly, watching the idiot emperor's enthusiastic words.

Gradually, everyone's complexion became a little ugly.

Especially the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites, which are in charge of the country's land, money, food, population, education, sacrifices, diplomacy, etc., the faces of the two ministers are about to turn green...
