"Okay, don't abuse your husband. Do you still want to hear how to be your husband?" Zhu Youjian finally thought of a solution.
Wang Meiyu stopped kneading the dough first. She didn't see Wan'er's stare. Horqin was her natal family. She was naturally more caring than others. Zhou Yufeng and Hu Xinxue also stopped their fellows and listened very respectfully.
Zhu Youjian first throws out his own thoughts: "Since Horqin has extra women, send them to places where women are lacking."
"Your Majesty, where is the lack of women?" Wang Meiyu is very nervous, don't send her sisters to Goulan.
"Military camp, there are 20,000 garrisons of Daming in the Horqin grassland. Many soldiers have no families. You can let your father send a group of young women to the military camp, so that the soldiers can choose. There are more than 20,000 soldiers. I am afraid that half of them will not have a family. "Zhu Youjian thought, if you can marry a wife in the barracks, you don't need to pay a betrothal gift. Many soldiers should be willing. In the future, these soldiers may retire and choose to take root in the Horqin grassland.
The most important thing is that the marriage between Han and Mongolia can speed up the naturalization of the Horqin Ministry. This is Zhu Youjian's small calculation.
"Oh, your majesty, why didn't the concubines expect that?" Wang Meiyu was surprised, Zhou Yufeng and others showed admiring eyes.
"Also, near Chita, there is also the garrison of Daming, which is still a gathering place for the Mongols. If you choose this way, I am afraid that you will pick out the 20,000 Horqin girl?" Zhu Youjian hit the iron while it was hot. "Heilong Province, Beihai Province, Liaoning Province There are still 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers from Daming in the province. These places are outside the pass, similar to the original way of life of the Horqin people."
"Your Majesty, if you count it like this, you can solve 50,000 women." Wang Meiyu pinched the calculation and felt that it was almost the same. Although the Horqin Department had 150,000 more women than men, polygamy had been partially resolved. Some older women , It is meaningless whether to match or not, plus the huge number of children, who have not yet reached the age of marriage, so there is no need for marriage for now.
"After these girls marry soldiers, they don’t have to work hard to graze. They can learn to grow vegetables. They can also sell the vegetables that cannot be eaten at home to supplement their households. At least the army needs a lot of vegetables. In the future, Daming will stay outside the customs. By opening various factories, these women can go to factories to work, such as cutting fur, and get paid."
The four women couldn't help nodding, and the admiration of Zhu Youjian's eyes became more intense.
"For Yu'er's sake, I can also give the Horqin Ministry some ways to make money," Zhu Youjian touched the dumbfounded Wang Meiyunen's face. Seeing that she had no response, he was obviously listening, "Training. Farming cattle, Liaoning Province will gradually increase the population. Reclamation of new fields requires a large number of farming cattle. The Horqin department trained strong cattle into farming cattle and sold them to Liaoning Province. The price of farming cattle is much more expensive than beef cattle."
Wang Meiyu's eyes flashed strangely, but she was still a little worried, "Your Majesty, if this cow is sold, what will the herdsmen eat?"
"You are stupid, you can buy grain if you sell cattle and get silver. Liaoning, Guannei, and even Horqin will produce grain in the future." It started to knead the dough again. This time, Zhu Youjian was in Wang Meiyu's Rubbing her body until she fully understood Zhu Youjian's words.
"Oh… "
"There is also mining. The imperial court not only discovered coal mines on the Horqin grassland, but also found iron ore in the Obao Mountain in the southwest of Xilin. They will soon be excavated. Horqin men are strong and can join the ranks of miners. , But it’s much higher than grazing. Not only can they buy enough grain with the money they get, they will also have some savings, and they won’t have to work hard to chase water and grass in the future.
"But, Your Majesty, the herdsmen do not engage in grazing, where does the grain come from?" Wang Meiyu felt that Zhu Youjian was like Changshengtian, but she didn't know if this visible Changshengtian just made her happy.
"Yu'er doesn't know the life of the Han people. The people farm the land and they can't eat the grain at all. The excess will be sold in the market. People who are not engaged in farming can buy grain as long as they have the silver." Zhu Youjian Continued: "The farming people, in addition to their own enough food, the money earned by selling food is the family surplus, and people in other industries who use their own remuneration to buy food will also have some surplus."
"Your Majesty, if the people who plant the land refuse to sell their surplus grain, what will the court do?" Wang Meiyu does not understand the way of living in an agricultural society.
"This does not need to be taken care of by the imperial court. If the surplus food in the hands of the people is not sold in the market, it will be moldy over time and worthless. Which people are as stupid as you?" Zhu Youjian tapped on Wang Meiyu's forehead. For a moment.
"Your Majesty, the concubines understand."
"It's good to understand. As long as you follow Daming, you can ensure that the herdsmen of Horqin Department will live better than before. In the future, ordinary people can also marry two wives."
"Really, Your Majesty?" Wang Meiyu seemed to be immersed in the illusory blueprint depicted by Zhu Youjian.
"Of course, but they can't marry two wives for the time being. To become really rich, it takes a period of accumulation. I'm afraid they will have to wait until after the naturalization of Daming."
"Your Majesty, there are some extra women in Na Horqin. The girls will grow up soon, what should they do?"
"I haven't beaten the back yet. If Horqin's women are really no one wants, I don't mind getting them all into the palace, taking turns to beat the back for my husband..."
Wan'er laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist. She simply squatted down and laughed enough. Zhou Yufeng pressed her waist with one hand and turned her face. Her body was twisted. Even Hu Xinxue couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Wang Meiyu's tender hands directly pinched Zhu Youzhen's waist, as if she could knead Zhu Youzhen into a dough with her own strength.
"Yu'er, you haven't told me, what good news is there!" After a long time, after the four girls calmed down, Zhu Youjian asked Wang Meiyu again.
"I won't tell you," Wang Meiyu seemed to be irritated, and she gave Zhu Youjian a look, "Your Majesty has the ability, so go and ask the Queen's sister yourself."
Zhu Youjian's gaze shifted to Zhou Yufeng, "Feng'er, what have you been hiding from me?"
Zhou Yufeng was blushing and hanging her head, like a shy water lotus. She held her back waist with her left hand and stroked her lower abdomen with her right hand. She was indescribably light and soft. She didn't know the strength of kneading the dough just now. Where did you go.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Sister has it." Wan'er spoke quickly and couldn't help but congratulate Zhu Youjian.
"Yes? What?" Zhu Youjian was surprised, Wan'er has always been agile, why only half a sentence today is confusing.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand this!" Wan'er's face was a little gloomy, and she still did not forget to give Zhu Youjian a glance: "Your Majesty will be the father of the emperor."
"Huh?" Zhu You suddenly widened his eyes, as if he was about to swallow Wan'er, but soon his gaze shifted to Zhou Yufeng: "Feng'er, is this true?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yufeng nodded slightly, her shy face was full of the joy of motherhood, and her bright eyes gave Zhu Youjian a sneak peek.
"I'm going to have a baby!" Zhu Youjian was excited, ready to hug Zhou Yufeng, turned around two times, stretched out his hands, suddenly felt inappropriate, had to smile awkwardly, and drew back.
"Puff!" Wang Meiyu, who didn't speak for a long while, laughed out loud when he saw Zhu Youjian's joy, just to give Zhu Youjian a chance.
"Wan'er, Xue'er, Yu'er, starting from today, you have to accompany Feng'er more, don't let her be any buddies, talk to her, walk with her, make her happy."
"Yes, slave servants follow the order!" Wan'er stretched out her tongue mischievously, bent down, respectfully saluted Zhu Youjian, but Wang Meiyu hid her mouth and smiled.
"Your Majesty, it's only two months. Is this necessary?" Zhou Yufeng gave Zhu Youzhen a shame, but his face was indescribable.
"It's only been two months old, no wonder I don't know." Zhu You scratched his head and stroked Zhou Yufeng's belly again to hide his hindsight.
"What does your majesty think? Is it going to be called Father Emperor?" Wan'er dared to challenge her.
"Wan'er, starting from today, you have to be with Feng'er all the time." Zhu Youzhen was deliberately serious. Here Wan'er is about to die, so she dared to ridicule herself.
"Yes, your majesty, the servant girl has been with the queen sister, even at night, let sister Xueer and sister Yuer accompany... Your Majesty." Wan'er deliberately prolonged her voice and gave Zhu Youjian a blessing. When he passed, he covered his mouth and laughed, because the voice couldn't come out, and the shoulders on both sides couldn't help shaking.
Wang Meiyu stomped her feet, so angry that she wanted to pinch Wan'er's neck, but soon she smiled and bent over. It was obvious that her anger was entirely pretended.
Hu Xinxue only smiled slightly, Zhou Yufeng covered her lower abdomen with her hands and coughed violently.
Zhu Youzhen blushed and was so angry that he couldn't speak. He was worried about Zhou Yufeng again. As a result, he pulled Wan'er over and pressed it on his thigh, and rubbed her mulberry with his big hand: "Look at you, dare to make trouble. You can't do it!"
Zhu Youjian spent this night in Kunning Palace, and he was dreaming of this year's Fourth Birthday.
Zhou Yufeng was the first to be pregnant. This was a great happy event for Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youjian has been worried that there is something wrong with his body, or that it does not match the beauty of the ancient times, and the imperial doctor has seen it, but he can't find any symptoms, but the body of the four women has not moved.
Today Zhou Yufeng explained with facts that Zhu Youzhen should not be extinct.
This is an overwhelming joy for both Zhu Youjian and Daming.
The second is that the imperial court has implemented compulsory education in the five northern provinces. The central government and local government have used all administrative methods to fully advance it. The enrollment rate of rural students has reached 65 percent, which is still some distance away from the 80 percent that Zhu Youjian hoped for. However, the enrollment rate of urban students has exceeded 90 percent. Overall, Zhu Youzhen is still satisfied.
This is only the first year, and Zhu Youjian believes that as compulsory education gradually gains popularity, the enrollment rate of children will increase.
The third thing Zhu Youjian was happy about was that Mu Qiyuan and Zuo Liangyu put down the riots in the southwest, allowing Daming to add Tibet and Jade Capital out of thin air. Daming’s provinces have increased from the original 15 provinces to the present. Of 22 provinces in China, a full increase of half.
The fourth one is Hong Chengchou, who is far away in Lingbei Province, finally entered the fishing sea, which became the shell lake of Daming.
