For the industry of the Ming Dynasty and the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty's national power, Zhu Youxiao had to do evil things that the green environmental protection organization hated deeply.

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

Yingzi was a little moved, but when she thought of her old father, she shook her head hesitantly and said, "My father is afraid he won't go."

Zhang Zhuzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be generous and waved his hand, and said, "It's better not to go. If you want to talk about the environment, it's better to be on this island. The ocean island is small and the wind and waves are big, so it's not even safe to sleep."

Yingzi smiled and nodded, saying, "Even if you don't go, I want to thank Brother Zhang. Such a mission should make people lose their heads, right?"

Zhang Zhuzi laughed twice and said, "Then I'll go and ask others, it's very urgent to urge me there!"

Yingzi moved sideways and when Zhang Zhuzi walked over, he reached out and shouted, "Brother Zhang, when my house is installing an iron stove, I have to help you!"

Zhang Zhuzi didn't look back, smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'll help you then."

Looking at the bumpy figure gradually fading away, Yingzi shook the long pole in his hand, and suddenly shook the big goose with the rag strip tied to the end of the pole, and cursed with a smile: "What are you looking at? Why are you so stupid?"

……………………………………………….

What are you looking at? Stupid Xiaobai, I don’t even recognize corn?!

Zhu Youxiao took two pieces and put them in front of Xiaobai. The cat smelled them and ate them.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Youxiao was wondering whether cats could eat corn, but he did not find any relevant knowledge in his memory.

"Emperor." Li Chengcheng said carefully beside him: "I saw that Mrs. White is still eating grass!"

Eating grass? Zhu Youxiao didn't know why he thought it was OK to match meat and vegetables. What animals lacked, you may know and would look for it from nature.

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

Corn seems to be introduced to China earlier than sweet potatoes, but its name is "Yumi" or "Fanmai". It was not until Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" was published that the name "corn" was named.

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

But it is just planting and not widely promoted. The reason is not technology, but the comparison between corn and traditional crops in the plains, and there is no outstanding advantage.

Mountainous land, barren land, cold-resistant, population growth, and land annexation caused by land reclamation are the reasons why corn was eventually planted on a large scale.

Obviously, with sweet potatoes and pumpkins, it is not very urgent to promote corn on a large scale. Although Zhu Youxiao was calculating with his fingers, there are still five or six years left before the outbreak of the Little Ice Age.

This is also the reason why he wants to strive for the five-year pacification of Liao. When a natural disaster breaks out, it is probably very difficult to fight with Jiannu to consume.

From the current perspective, the technology tree does not need to be too high or too fast, and the five-year plan to Ping Liao has already had a good start.

This also strengthened Zhu Youxiao's determination to continue to install the internal security. As long as there are no major problems within the country, the front line can be steadily and strictly blocked, Jiannu will definitely be inadequate to take advantage of it.

Although the reform and rectification this year is still short, it has achieved results.

In particular, the replenishment of pay and the opening of maritime bans basically solved the problem of paying and food for border town officers and soldiers, as well as the funding for strengthening naval equipment.

Therefore, although the inner treasury did not make much money, and even reduced, the treasury was still not rich. However, the money saved and the money spent greatly improved the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao read the memorial of Yang Lian, the governor of Shanxi, pondered for a moment, and picked up his pen to write the instructions.

Although Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are Donglin Party, they are still very different from Guang who will be criticized without real power or even corrupt officials.

Zuo Guangdou connects water conservancy and has made great contributions to the water conservancy and military farming in Jifu; Yang Lian started as a local official and was ranked first in the country in integrity; both of them have practical work ability and are honest and honest.

You can't let such an official be a censor, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't need Wei Zheng's advice ministers. Putting them in the local area to do practical work is the right choice in terms of effectiveness.

Yang Lian did a good job in the Qingtun, Shanxi. He was not afraid of even dying, but he was afraid of offending others?

However, it is not easy for Shanxi to develop, and Zhu Youxiao does not have many solutions. The mineral resources are abundant, but the current technical conditions cannot be exploited and utilized on a large scale.

Of course, Yang Lian did not raise the issue of economic development, but the governance method of traditional feudal society.

Zhu Youxiao finished the instructions, but did not tell Yang Lian about his plan to crack down on some Shanxi merchants.

Traditional is traditional. Yang Lian is qualified if the people can eat and don’t cause trouble. He doesn’t need to do anything else.

He picked up another question book, but it was Guizhou Governor Fu Zonglong who apologized for guilt.

Obviously, the Ming army adopted the strategy of military farming, garrisoning, blocking the siege, and using defense as an offensive, which made Anbang feel fear and pressure.

While the Ming army in all directions had not completed its military deployment, Anbang-chan led the rebels to suddenly cross the Yachi River and launched an attack, hoping to break the Ming army's siege.

General Lu Qin was trapped in an isolated city and led his troops to fight back. With the help of muskets and sky-burning thunder, he gave the rebels a large amount of killing and injury.

The rebels' siege failed, which gave the Ming army the opportunity to mobilize a counterattack.

Fu Zonglong sent Zhou Hongtu and Hu Congyi to lead his army to capture Shaheba first, then head 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 Anbang was about to be attacked by the Ming army, he had to retreat in a hurry. However, the Ming army lost the Yachi River defense line and obtained it.

This should be considered as losing first and winning later. Zhu Youxiao made a judgment while pondering. But blocking Anbang-gu again and causing considerable 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 been finalized, and it is understandable that the rebels broke through the defense line.

What is important is that Anbang is afraid and impatient. What does this mean? It means that the strategy of using defense as an offense, blocking the siege, and steady progress is correct.

If the enemy is worried and afraid, it must be implemented; if the enemy wants, it must not do it.

Zhu Youxiao is not a military genius, but he knows psychological analysis, knows how to think from the perspective of others, and knows the general direction of history.

Therefore, he can draw relatively correct conclusions and look at the long term, and not change his original intention by winning or losing once or twice.

When he wrote a letter, Zhu Youchao recommended Fu Zonglong to encourage and praise him. He asked him to continue to hoard and guard the strategies and not to be shaken. At the same time, he would also reward Lu Qin to reward him for his contributions to the death.

Just as he put down the question book, the palace servant came to report, and Sun Yuanhua came to Jin to see him.

Could it be the matter of minting? Zhu Youxiao guessed that Xuan Sun Yuanhua entered the palace.
