Chapter 20: The Secret Base Outside Nanjing
Zhu An’s study is strictly prohibited from entering, even if he is cleaned, he is alone.
Even some confidential letters were combined with simplified Chinese characters and Chinese English (pinyin cross) in his previous life.
Even if someone discovers, he definitely doesn't know what he is writing.
Sometimes, when he sees some English, he doesn’t know much, so he needs to think about it.
Thinking back to the beginning, if I hadn’t had poor English grades, I might have been able to get into a better university.
"In this life, I will definitely let the Han culture be exported to the whole world."
While writing hard, Zhu An swears in his heart.
At present, Zhu An already has a lot of financial resources and manpower. As long as he studies the Hokkien system, he will not be afraid of not being able to figure out a way overseas.
"Let you feel the dimensionality reduction attack from later generations."
Zhu An chanted softly, not afraid of hearing from the walls.
The walls of his study were separately sound insulation, and the two walls were hollowed into fine river sand.
The doors and windows have been specially treated, and there are also hidden whistles guarding them three meters away.
This is from Zhu An’s caution.
There is only one life. In this ancient society, it is very likely that a small thing or a small illness will be over.
Everything must be foolproof as much as possible.
The reason why I have this mentality is inseparable from the experience of traveling through time with Zhu’s father.
When he first came, after the first half of the month of confusion, Zhu An wanted to do something.
After all, people from later generations are afraid that they will not be able to turn over if they are foresighted?
As it turns out, his idea was completely wrong.
He is not a major in history research. Most of the historical materials about the Ming Dynasty at this time were seen from film and television works, or occasionally read books.
Who would just remember these things if you have nothing to do? Isn’t it nice to watch TV shows?
In other words, even if you study history major, you are basically in a state of blindness.
In addition to some famous historical figures, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Lan Yu, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Di.
Who do you still remember?
What a good guy, the Ming Dynasty Fenghua started shooting from Zhu Di.
It is now during the Hongwu period. Although Zhu Di had the will to be an emperor, he did not have the courage to rebel.
Can't get it done either.
In history, although Zhu Di succeeded in the final crisis, there were also many elements of luck.
No one will be bored, just recite the county annals of the early Ming Dynasty.
But it's useless to memorize it.
Many local officials were beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang after not taking office for two years, and they were in vain.
As a businessman, the reason why Zhu An can develop so quickly is naturally inseparable from the support of the government.
As the saying goes, there are countermeasures from the top and policies from the bottom.
Corruption will be killed. Many officials are cautious and dare to accept some from their acquaintances even if they accept bribes.
Can this stump Zhu An?
The methods of bribery in later generations are beyond your imagination.
Can't check cash, right?
Then I opened a small restaurant in the county town, and officials came to have dinner, and all the accounts were posted for free?
Can I recycle old clothes and change clothes?
It is OK to change the thick noodles to the thin noodles.
I need treatment when I am sick, and I just happened to be free clinics in the clinic. This is the only way.
It was through this operation that Zhu An had secretly weaving nets across the country without knowing it, and formed a unique hidden force.
Only by controlling enough information channels can one have a clear understanding of the society in which one is located.
Keep looking at the information sent from all over the Chamber of Commerce, Zhu An sighed softly.
There have been more disasters in the past two years. I am afraid that Nanjing will not be able to welcome another group of victims.
All over the country, I don’t know how many people will fall to the point of selling their children and women.
At present, in early July of the 25th year of Hongwu, the situation across the country of the Ming Dynasty was already in an upward state under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang.
The situation in the two years that just passed by was even more difficult than it is now. Every year, countless people who died from winter, the mass graves were almost full.
If you dig a hole and then bury it directly, you may not have a straw mat.
It is true that there are too many refugees and the government is too busy at all.
The small ice age in history was the most serious in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but in fact, the small ice age has existed since the Yuan Dynasty.
What are floods, droughts, hails, locusts, earthquakes, winds, frosts and snows, plagues...
All over the country, it has never stopped every year.
In my previous life, films and TV series related to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties were almost often seen. If it was affected by disasters, it would require relief.
There was a disaster there and relief was needed. Then there was a noisy meal in the court.
When I look at it, I don’t think there is anything. When I’m really here, my feelings are completely different.
It is not yet winter, but it feels like late autumn. It would be great if it is winter.
A trace of struggle flashed across Zhu An's face, but finally he sighed deeply.
People are always selfish.
It’s not that Zhu An doesn’t want it, but that Zhu An can’t!
What is the reason for the huge population outbreak during the Qing Dynasty?
First of all, the Little Ice Age passed, and the natural environment became more suitable for population reproduction.
Then the most important ones are the introduction of high-yield crops such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
With these high-yield crops, people will not starve to death so easily.
As for the small problems of eating too much sweet potatoes and indigestion, it is nothing in the face of life.
Now, Zhu An has sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hands.
In the mountains less than two hundred miles away from Nanjing City, there is Zhu An’s secret crop base.
There are a large number of sweet potatoes in the deep mountains, and potatoes are planted.
Because it grows underground, the hidden effect is even more. Even if it is transported out, it is processed and difficult to be discovered.
These crops were obtained by Zhuan's annual sign-in several years ago.
Zhu An didn't dare to take it out because once it was taken out, it would definitely cause a shocking sensation.
At that time, Zhu An would be completely exposed to the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Never underestimate the insight of a dynasty.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang came out with an imperial edict, Zhu An would understand what a siege is.
He himself does not know Zhu Yuanzhang's personal charm at present, but those ordinary people have reached a cult of personality.
Things must be taken out, it depends on when.
In Zhu An's original plan, he obtained the method of manufacturing the firearm.
Have your own armed forces.
These crops, especially the crop base two hundred miles outside Nanjing, will be his gift to the Ming Dynasty.
"It won't take long. I'll leave before winter."
Jingning Hou will be executed at the end of next month.
Zhu An would leave from that time.
I can't get firearms from the capital.
Then we can only find a way from the Jiangnan Ministry of Industry.
