Father can be an enemy to the country

Tamluo Governor's Mansion.

There was a big banquet in the main hall, with wine, meat and seafood all prepared, and there were also slim and fair-skinned Korean women dancing gracefully.

Shen Liu Niang carried the food box to the quiet backyard. After strict inspection, she was finally able to approach the three prison cars parked side by side in the courtyard.

"Hey, you, a landlord, don't entertain guests out front, why come here to visit the prison?" Zhu Di sat cross-legged in the prison car and smiled at Shen Liuniang.

"The Sixth Prince ordered me to deliver food to the Prince. How can I let others come?" Shen Liu Niang sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry for the Prince."

"It's not hard, I asked for it." Zhu Di smiled and said, "It just hurt them both."

"It's okay, we both volunteered." Zhang Yu and Ping An said in unison.

"The three of you are really open-minded, you can talk and laugh freely like this." Shen Liu Niang admired, holding up the food box and asked the guard standing by: "Can you open the car door?"

"The door is unlocked," the guard said.

"Ah?" Shen Liuniang was stunned, and saw Zhu Di and the other two people pushing open the door of the prison car.

"What's so surprising about this? Lao Liu has never been locked. I don't want to go out on my own." Zhu Di chuckled.

"If the prince doesn't go out, we can only accompany you." Ping An and Zhang Yu said with a bitter smile.

"Who are you angry with, Your Majesty?" She quickly walked to the car and put the top food box in. Then he gave the other two boxes to Ping An and Zhang Yu.

Women's perception of emotions is very keen, and it immediately touched the heart of the fourth child. Isn't he just venting his anger on his father? My father wants to send me back to Beijing. Okay, then I will eat, drink, and defecate in the prison car. I will not get out of the car until I am beaten to death...

Of course Zhu Di would never admit it, so he smiled and said: "Zhi Qi, what Qi Qi? I am strictly abiding by the imperial edict. Lao Liu has already taken on the role of boss for me, so I can't cause him any more trouble."

"Your Majesty, we really have a deep brotherly love." Shen Liu Niang also followed him and said knowingly. Then he held out a jar of wine like a magic trick and said: "The sorghum wine made on the island is barely drinkable. The prince and the two generals can warm themselves up."

"Haha, if you can make Liu Niang say that you can drink the wine, that's definitely not bad." Zhu Di rubbed his hands happily and said, "Pour it on, pour it on."

Shen Liu Niang poured him a bowl of wine. Zhu Di picked it up and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "Let me tell you, it's pure and spicy, so damn enjoyable!"

The two of them were full of praise when they tasted it. They both thought it was the best wine they had drunk in several years.

"Drink more if you like it." Shen Liu Niang said happily: "When I leave, I will bring you a few hundred jars. The wine I brew has this advantage - enough."

"Hundreds of jars?" Zhu Di asked in surprise: "How many have you brewed? Is the demand on the island so great?"

"Those herders and common people on the island cannot drink such good wine." Shen Liu Niang replied: "This is sold to the princes and ministers of Goryeo."

"Why sell it to those poor people?" Zhu Di's biggest impression of Goryeo was that he was poor. Those small plates and small bowls are not enough for even a state banquet. "You can only make a lot of money by selling to the big dogs in Jiangnan, right?"

"Your Majesty is right." Shen Liu Niang smiled and said, "But we don't sell wine to them for money."

"It's not for money, but for grass?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

"The prince really said, it's just for grass. But it's not ordinary grass, but pasture." Shen Liuniang replied seriously: "We sold wine to them, and they exchanged it for purple alfalfa and rye grass."

"That's it." Zhu Di suddenly said: "I'll tell you that with your business experience, Shen Liu Niang, you won't be like this."

"Is there not enough forage on the island? Do you have to ask others to plant it for you?" Zhang Yu asked curiously. In all his years on the grassland, he had never heard that forage still needed to be purchased.

"It was enough at first, but then we followed the prince's instructions and changed from nomadic grazing to fixed grazing. In this way, the same pasture can support several times more livestock." Shen Liuniang replied:

"But in this way, not only the manpower required has doubled, but there is not enough pasture. People say that prisoners have been deported continuously over the years, which is enough. But as for pasture, there is only one layer here, so it is not possible to grow more. If we can’t grow it, I’ll discuss it with Li Chenggui and Zheng Mengzhou and ask them to help grow grass, and we can exchange it for grain and other things they need.”

"At first they were exchanging food for food, but after discovering that the Tamluo Shao on our island was delicious, they only had this." Shen Liuniang continued: "Anyway, we are fine, and it is more cost-effective to exchange wine for forage."

"What a damn reactionary." Zhu Zhen also appeared in the backyard at some point and spat: "Zhumen smells of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death."

"Your Majesty is right. Goryeo has many mountains and little land, and is crowded and short of food. However, these princes do not buy food but only wine. They really don't care about the life and death of the people." Shen Liuniang hurriedly said softly: "So every year, a large number of Goryeo people flee to the island. Come up, we’ll take in all the people we can, but the island’s population now exceeds 100,000, and we can’t even handle it.”

"It's okay. If you have more people, send them to Yunnan. There is a shortage of people there." Zhu Zhen waved his hand.

"Okay." Shen Liu Niang responded happily.

"I understand why there are so many livestock on the island in a year." Zhu Di said to Lao Liu: "Such a good method, why not promote it in Daning?"

"Who will grow pasture for them?" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Traditional grazing is fine."

"Yes, Your Majesty, although the pasture is called grass, it must be taken care of properly, and it also invades cultivated land..." Shen Liu Niang also said. The implication is that we cannot do this in China, otherwise our own people will suffer.

"I understand." Zhu Di said immediately: "Then we can only make the Korean people suffer, and let Agui bear the blame."

"It's okay, he has already been called Cao Cao by the Koreans." Shen Liuniang smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

The two of them accompanied the fourth son to eat prison food. When they were about to leave, Shen Liuniang reported softly: "Prince, your godson wants to see you."

"Oh, you said our Ah Gui." Zhu Zhen said without surprise: "He is well-informed."

"He has a liaison officer on the island, so he knew that the prince was coming at the first time." Shen Liuniang replied: "Just hurry here, it will probably arrive tomorrow."

"Okay, I haven't seen my eldest son for many years, so let's wait for him." Zhu Zhen agreed, and then asked with a smile: "Are you familiar with him?"

"He is in his fifties and calls me aunt, which is disgusting." Shen Liuniang got goosebumps and said: "He doesn't care whether others are willing to hear it or not."

"Hahaha, it's not his fault." Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing: "I wrote to him and said that you are my godson, so of course he has to call you aunt."

"The prince is quite protective of his child." Shen Liuniang smiled.
