Would Zhu Yuanzhang deny the proposal of his eldest grandson?
After Shen Xi wrote out the regulations overnight, he handed them over to His Majesty after the morning court session the next day.
After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the desk and shouted, "Great! As expected of our eldest grandson, this action will not damage the treasury of our Great Ming, nor will it hurt the people in the slightest, but it will make Zhengyang Avenue 30 meters wide, fully demonstrating the elegance and grandeur of our Great Ming."
"Only our eldest grandson could think of such a good thing. According to this, within a few years, our entire capital will be completely renewed."
"What a great grandson! What a great grandson!"
Seeing that His Majesty was so happy, Shen Xi swallowed all the words that were about to come to his throat.
He was not stupid. If he raised any objection at this time, he would probably be hit by a black sand on his head.
"This matter must be moved forward quickly. We must not slack off. If it is completed sooner, we can also see the grand spectacle of Zhengyang Avenue sooner."
"It is a major matter for the country and the people."
Then he instructed Liu He, "According to what our eldest grandson said, prepare a notice and quickly spread it to the provincial capitals and spread it throughout the country, so as to attract wealthy merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty to compete for purchases."
"I obey your order!"
"I obey your order!"
Shen Xi and Liu He bowed together and replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not an experienced person. When he defeated Zhang Shicheng, he was really impressed by the level of wealth he saw.
From then on, he understood how rich one could be.
It was from that time that Zhu Yuanzhang began to pay attention to the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan. Even though he increased taxes again and again, Jiangnan did not become poor.
Zhu Yuanzhang made the final decision, and the matter of Zhengyang Avenue was settled.
It will take Shen Xi two days to prepare before the plan can be officially implemented.
At this moment, the General Security Office of the Ming Dynasty Capital.
The sounds of wailing and screaming were endless, so loud that they could be heard clearly on the streets outside the yamen.
Lan Yu sat in the courtyard with a gloomy face, watching the yamen runners being beaten below.
These yamen runners were the people who had violated the law again during yesterday's investigation. A careful count showed that there were more than 200 of them.
This was the result after Lan Yu had already summoned all the personnel for a lecture.
These people dare to commit crimes against the law.
"Beat them, beat them hard. You dare to treat my lecture as a joke. I will beat you to death today. I want to see if the elders behind you dare to say something to me."
Looking at the pleading, angry, and even hostile eyes below.
Lan Yu was so desperate that he started cursing loudly.
He is the Duke of Liang, the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the General Security Bureau, and the head of the nobles and generals in Huaixi. If he really gets ruthless, he will not recognize any relatives. Who in the capital dares to nag him?
Even the current Minister of Personnel dared to lead troops to block the door and beat the big boss who was unable to attend the court.
After hearing these harsh words, the rich young men dressed as yamen runners immediately felt Lan Yu's majesty and even their humming became much quieter.
"The General Directorate of Public Security of the Ming Dynasty is doing honorable and upright things. You are scoundrels who steal and bully the people. As the saying goes, do not do evil, no matter how small it is. You wear official uniforms and control fairness, but you do unjust things."
"Today I will punish you with a small punishment but give you a big warning. If you do it again, your crime will be even more severe."
"I advise you not to think about resigning. Once you enter my door, if you want to leave, you have to leave sideways."
"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
Lan Yu made a harsh statement directly. When it comes to commanding and training troops, Lan Yu is very skilled.
Besides, while others might be wary of these rich kids, he had no scruples. If he really wanted to kill dozens of them, no one would dare to bother with him.
Even if they are descendants of Huaixi nobles and generals, it is useless.
This act of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys made the yamen runners who were lucky enough not to be caught tremble in fear.
No matter if they were being beaten or watching the show, they all understood one thing in their hearts, that is, Duke Liang was serious.
Those who disobey will really be beaten to death.
"The inspection of the capital will continue today. If the Royal Guards send another message, I will not be so easy to deal with."
Lan Yu snorted coldly.
"Yes, sir!" All the yamen runners below immediately stood up straight and replied loudly.
Lan Yu nodded slightly and waved his hand, and the bailiffs immediately scattered.
"Uncle, isn't this too harsh? Sen thinks it's a bit too hasty."
The only person who dared to speak to Lan Yu like this was naturally Chang Sen.
The relationship between the uncle and nephew is quite good. Since Chang Sen followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and returned from the Henan plague incident, he has made some contributions.
After that, he successfully entered the Governor's Mansion.
But the official position is not very good.
After Lan Yu took office as the Grand Commander of the Ming Dynasty's Public Security Bureau, he transferred Chang Sen over as his deputy after obtaining the consent of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"They are all spoiled brats. If they are not taught a lesson, they will not know the seriousness of the situation. This is also what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant. We must discipline them properly."
"Now our Public Security Department is directly under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, you also know that there has been no communication from the Public Security Department branches in other parts of Ming Dynasty. It is obvious that they are all under the direct control of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"This is a test. If the security of the capital doesn't change, I'm afraid our place will be no different from the Five Cities Military Command in the past."
"Only if we truly improve the Public Security Department will His Highness pay attention to it. Otherwise, I'm afraid this Public Security Department will just become a place for you and my uncle to live in."
Lan Yu said earnestly.
During this period of time, he finally understood his own situation and also realized how powerful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was.
Without making a fuss, his military power was completely handed over.
Combined with the shares given for setting up the factory and the market price of the shares, many of his colleagues not only did not feel sad for him, but instead envied him.
But what is left of Lan Yu now?
The famous Public Security Department now has only two or three big and small cats, and the rest are commanded by a group of rabble, flatterers and dandies.
The title of the Grand Commander of the Public Security Bureau is so resounding, and the Public Security Bureau can arrest all lawless elements, from ministers to common people. It sounds very impressive.
In fact, Lan Yu was summoned into the palace by His Majesty because of his attempt to assassinate the Crown Prince a few days ago.
On other days, even the qualification to attend the morning court was deprived.
According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention, in the near future, we should focus on building up the Public Security Bureau.
Lan Yu now completely understood that if the Public Security Bureau was not built well, then this would be the only outcome.
After hearing this, Chang Sen's expression became somewhat solemn.
Of course, he was very clear about the current situation of the Public Security Bureau.
Not only does it have no connection with other government offices, it seems as if the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom has forgotten about it.
"I'll keep an eye on them."
After thinking it over again and again, Chang Sen said in a deep voice.
There is no room for regrets once you enter this Public Security Bureau.
As Lan Yu's nephew, he had no intention of leaving at this time and could only work hard.
Try to gain the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
…
"I didn't expect that he didn't take action when there was such a good opportunity. Instead, he let it go. Was he doing it for my father to see, or did he want me to return to my heart?"
"I had already made plans, but I didn't expect it to go this way."
In a restaurant somewhere, Zhu Di and Li Jinglong sat facing each other.
Zhu Di drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and said in a deep voice.
This time, when his father's house arrest order came down and Jiang Li inquired about it, Zhu Di felt that it would be difficult for him to get through.
The idea of establishing a country overseas was nothing but a pie in the sky by Zhu Ying to fool him.
It was too easy to implicate himself in this matter. Putting himself in his shoes, Zhu Di felt that he would not have any hesitation.
Of course, he would not die, but there would be no problem in deposing his throne and taking back the fiefdom.
On the third day, Zhu Di heard the news of the beheading and assassination of thousands of people outside. He dressed neatly and waited for the eunuchs to come.
However, the eunuch did come to the door, but he brought the news that his father was under house arrest.
This made Zhu Di a little confused.
Am I overthinking it?
If you think about it carefully, you will be filled with doubts.
Zhu Di had long known that Zhu Ying was not a good person. Many of his deeds in the Western Regions were cruel and ruthless.
How can you let yourself go so easily?
Did he not consider himself as an opponent, or was he just doing it for his father to see?
"Is it possible that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants my uncle to guard Japan and educate the foreign people?"
Li Jinglong said after hesitating for a while.
As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly.
Considering all of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions before and after his arrival in the capital, Li Jinglong really did not feel the same way about the Prince of Yan.
After all, in the imperial palace, even though Zhu Yunwen now occupies the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not expressed any other overly strong opinions.
Living in the East Palace is a normal behavior for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there is nothing wrong with it in terms of status and morality.
If you say you want to pretend to be like this, given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intelligence, there is really no need for that.
The only explanation is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't care about the Eastern Palace.
Being sympathetic to veteran soldiers can be said to be a way to gain prestige in the military.
Serving breakfast to all officials at the Meridian Gate during the morning court session is not something that everyone would think of.
Throughout history, even the most wise kings would not do this. Only those who truly care about the officials can do so.
From this point of view, Li Jinglong truly could not sense the cruelty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, only his kindness and righteousness.
"The assassination plot has nothing to do with me, but I don't even bother to do such a despicable thing."
Zhu Di snorted coldly and answered the question irrelevantly.
In fact, in Zhu Di's heart, he already felt that Zhu Ying did not deliberately suppress him.
But now this feeling instead seems like I'm being driven by Zhu Ying.
By the way, Zhu Ying was the crown prince and would succeed the throne in the future.
他为藩王，本就是君臣，即便为前锋大将，也符合法理。
“真希望早些去打倭国，本王不想在这京师久留了，景隆，最近可有什么优秀的学子，可愿随本王前往倭国的。”
朱棣补充说道。
现在他的心绪有些凌乱，一肚子的不爽，就想着找个地方发泄。
现在看来，征伐倭国，才是他最好发泄的最好。
想起倭国那些倭寇，朱棣眼中冷色闪过。
李景隆闻言，微微一笑道：“表叔放心，我已经联络诸多好友，尽皆表示可为表叔效力，亦有多人联系老家好友，愿举荐一番。”
“至少当有百人相随，亦是不错。”
听到这话，朱棣的眼中闪过喜色。
他知道李景隆在文人那边的名声不错，没想到这般给力，这才多久，就已经有百人了。
好歹去了倭国，也能凑出个百官来，不至于无人可用。
“辛苦景隆了，这一杯，敬景隆。”
朱棣举杯道。
李景隆也端起酒杯道：“共饮！”
两人一口饮尽，李景隆接着说道：“倒也并非是侄儿功劳，如今大明学子众多，科举难过，亦是有传闻科举将会大改，翰林院正在编撰新的典籍。”
“学子们寒窗苦读，一朝改革心血尽废，哪肯甘心。”
“前途不明，加之表叔名声威望显著，自有功劳，领军更是攻无不克，战无不胜。”
“区区倭人，任谁都能知晓，怎会是表叔对手，藩国初立，正是人才稀缺之时，早些过去，自为元老重臣。”
听着李景隆的话，朱棣脸色喜色渐溢。
打倭国他一直很有自信，现有文人百位相随，不愁无人可用。
只希望早些过去，到了那时。
海阔凭鱼跃，天高任鸟飞。
再也无须在这京师中，踌躇度日。
‘再有三月光阴，便就是征伐倭国之时，且再忍三月即可。’
想到这里，朱棣再次喝光杯中酒，以解忧愁。
……
在这个时候，高丽这边，变故正在发生。
十一月除，高丽附近的天气已经变得寒冷起来，军中将士，也开始以篝火取暖。
“国师，对马岛有消息传来，因征伐倭国本土，所以损失惨重，目前八万大军，有三万覆灭。”
“不过倭国那边，也不好受，约有伤亡两万余众。”
釜山，军营大寨中，卫光像向姚广孝汇报道。
姚广孝闻言有些诧异，他没想到这些高丽军也能有如此战绩。
以往来说，高丽常年都是被倭国吊打的对象，往往数千倭寇，就敢于冲击高丽上万大军。
现在这伤损虽然没有一比一，但也是极为不错了。
“没有谎报军情吧。”姚广孝问道。
卫光摇头道：“应该也是相差不大，那边的探子，也在暗中有消息传来，且收获也颇为丰富，想来勉强能渡过冬季。”
稍稍迟疑了一下，卫光继续道：“暗探传信，那些将军似乎准备在寒冬来临之前，再行一次侵袭之事。”
姚广孝倒也不觉得意外，道：“这番再战一次，掠夺足够的粮食，也能减少将士数量，便就能稳稳渡过严冬了，想来这一场，定然是要开打的。”
卫光闻言，心中思索一番问道；“国师，我等是否也当参与一番，或者再派出一些将士过去。”
“如今军中粮食已然有些不够了，太孙殿下那边的计划，遭到了他人从中作梗，现在已经没有人运粮过来。”
说到这里，卫光就有些气愤。
本来粮食在源源不断的运来，加上大军本身的收集，足可以安稳渡过冬季，静带明年开春。
可在大明边疆，突然盛传群英商会为大明皇太孙所掌，暗中探查大明外情况，多为细作。
如此一来，不管是高丽本土，亦或是其他部族，都开始转变了态度。
最为重要的是，没人给釜山这边国师大军送粮了。
姚广孝眉头微皱，不过神色还算是镇定。
到了他这个年纪，已经没有什么事情，可以干扰到他的心境了。
“传信高丽王，同时也传信李成桂大将军，让他们运送足够的粮食过来。”
姚广孝平静的说道。
“这……”
卫光微微停顿了一下后道：“国师，怕是李成桂不会答应吧。”
姚广孝卷了十几万大军跑到釜山沿海来，从某种意义上说，已经是抽光了群英商会在这边的班底。
也让真正的矛盾，直接暴露出来。
虽然没有明面上和李成桂闹翻，可想而知李成桂也不可能傻乎乎的还给送粮食来。
即便是十多万大军饿死大半，李成桂只会拍手大笑，幸灾乐祸，求之不得。
他巴不得一举将这些军队收归己有。
彻底掌控高丽。
至于明面上的高丽王，不过以傀儡，卫光连提都懒得提。
姚广孝让给高丽王送信，不过习惯使然，毕竟作为汉人，姚广孝在大义上，较为注重。
“咱们军中余粮，还可够吃多少时日。”姚广孝淡淡问道。
卫光心中计算一番后说道：“若是省着一些吃，大约还能撑上月余，过万正旦不难。”
姚广孝闻言回道：“正旦节，当举国同庆，怎可亏待了将士们，这岂不是寒了将士们的心吗。”
“高丽王的信，便就按正常去写吧，至于李成桂，你就在信中明确告诉他，若是见不着粮食，今日正旦，贫僧也只能回去，到李大将军那里，蹭个年夜饭了。”
听到这话，卫光豁然开朗。
哈哈一笑道：“好，国师所言甚好，李成桂这老小子，还想等着看戏，真就是做梦。”
“若是不给咱们送吃的来，咱们就去那王城里，自己去拿。”
“不过一个小小开京城，某随意可将其击破。”
“某这就让将士且去传信。”
说完，卫光就打算走出营寨。
“莫急。”
姚广孝叫住卫光。
“国师可还有其他吩咐。”卫光闻言停住脚步问道。
姚广孝笑道：“待会你出去后，便就传告全军上下，说半月内，开京便有粮食运送过来，请诸军放心。”
卫光眼睛发亮，兴奋道：“某明白了。”
姚广孝看着卫光从营地走出，没几个几息的功法，就听见卫光在外大声喊叫，说开京来信，半月内有粮送到。
随后，便是一片喧闹之声传来。
显然将士们得到这个消息也很是兴奋。
听闻帐外，姚广孝嘴角微微翘起。
高丽不比大明。
这里本来就不算大，从高丽开京城至釜山，快些的话不过十日功夫。
姚广孝说的半月，就是要逼迫李成桂快些做出选择。
毕竟也有几百里地，倒也不是真的半月能到。
从釜山这边快马加鞭，三日内信就可到李成桂的手中。
从做出决定到出发，七日内就能有所回信。
到时候只要粮食能够在正旦前抵达釜山，那就问题不大。
至于春节这个习俗，高丽受汉文化影响，也是相同的，和大明的春节，亦是同天。
两日后，开京城外。
“釜山急报！速开城门！釜山急报！速开城门！”
一驿卒骑着快马，加上标示性的着装，于城门外大声喊道。
城门上的士兵不敢怠慢，连忙打开城门，放驿骑进城。
元朝的驿站系统，在高丽这边也是有所开设，虽然高丽全国境内的驿站不多，也没维护得很好，不过传递紧急军情还是有的。
开京，大将军府。
驿骑的情报虽然是送到了王宫门口，不过很快就转道直接来了大将军府。
为了避嫌，李成桂还没有正式入住王宫。
这个时候，正是在招呼众多忠诚下属，享用美酒膳食，歌姬奏乐伴舞。
外界喧闹声响起，一人直直闯进，见到李成桂后跪地举起手中信件道：“启禀大将军，釜山急报！”
驿站这块，唯有大明有六百里，八百里加急。
在高丽这边，就是常规的加急，再快也快不起来，也没必要。
毕竟地方就这么大，八百里加急，都能从高丽东边跑到西边了。
这么快，高丽王臣可能不怎么适应。
李成桂缓缓起身，动作比较缓慢。
因为跪坐的缘故，所以需要稍稍放松一下，强行走路可能会因为膝盖麻木而摔倒。
接过信件的时候，李成桂还有些喜色。
想来肯定釜山国师道衍那边出了问题，自己完全可以看热闹了。
问题越大越好，反正别想着从自己这里得到任何的援助。
真要问题大了，指不定自己还能派人过去将大军接收回来。
能够在这屋内的，都算是李成桂的亲信，除了少许两人面色微微有些奇怪外，其余皆是满脸喜色。
他们都很清楚，釜山急报意味着什么。
方才就膳前，还都在谈论釜山国师大军，该如何渡过这个严冬呢。
信件缓缓打开，上面的文字，自然也是汉字。
这个时期的高丽，还没有自己的文字，训民正音要差不多六十年后，才会被世宗大王发明出来。
当然，之所以有所谓的高丽语，还有翻译的诞生。
可以理解为高丽方言。
毕竟就算是大明疆域内，哪怕都是汉人，东边百姓跟西边百姓，在沟通上也是非常艰难的。
而兴高采烈正准备看着信件上内容的李成桂，面色慢慢的变得僵硬起来。
原本有些喧闹的大堂，那些大笑的将军文臣，见到李成桂的神色，也停下了声息。
唯有奏乐歌舞在持续。
李成桂看完，一脚踹飞案台，对着舞妓大喝道：“滚，给本将军滚！！！”
舞妓吓得花枝乱颤，不敢多言，躬身身子迅速退下。
“大将军，可是那釜山有何等变故。”
一位文臣起身作揖问道。
李成桂牙齿咬得嘣嘣作响，齿缝间漏出声来：“道衍国师，要本将军为其运送粮食至釜山去。”
文臣武将闻言一愣，有武将起身笑道：“道衍国师怕不是得了失心疯，竟想要吾等为其运送粮食，简直可笑，可笑！”
顿时，一片哄笑声响起。
大家觉得这是大将军在开玩笑呢。
然而很快，笑声就停止下来，因为在李成桂的脸上，可没有半分笑意，反倒是面色阴沉滴水。
“道衍国师信中写道，若没有粮食送去，于正旦之时，来开京城中，与本将军共度春节。”
听到这话，大家顿时就意识到事态严重了。
釜山国师那边，可是有二十万大军，即便听说有八万大军去了对马岛，可剩余十二万大军，也不是什么好惹的。
开京拒城而守，十二万大军自然不存在吓住李成桂。
开京作为现在高丽王都，在城池建设之上，也是较为坚固。
加上城中数万守军，哪怕没有任何驰援，随便守个数月都不是问题。
但问题就在于，国师十二万大军回转开京的话，概念就完全不同了。
首先，在名义上，道衍是高丽国师，这一路行来，不用多想，自然四处搜集粮食。
没人会认为，十二万大军路过之地，会出现什么秋毫不犯，只怕是一路扫**着行来。
再就是在政治上，也很难作。
守城是不可能守城的。
若是守城，等于是将开京城外的所有地方，都交由国师了。
且在名份上来说，国师可是仅此于高丽国王，比他李成桂大将军，还要高上半截。
这就很尴尬了。
到时候一番作战下，反倒是李成桂这边，可能会成为乱臣贼子。
冷静一番，李成桂沉声问道：“王宫之中，是否也有急报送去。”
那驿卒回道：“禀大将军，王宫也有一份急报，已然送达。”
李成桂狠声道：“好个国师，真是做事滴水不露。”
得到消息后，李成桂摆摆手，让驿卒退下。
而后就地盘坐。
立即有仆从过来，为李成桂收拾，摆正案台，斟满酒杯。
“诸位议议，如今国师粮食紧缺，吾等该当如何。”
此时，李成桂也只能是把这个难题，踢到下属文臣武将这边来，看谁能不能想出个好点的主意。
显然，这种难度的事情，过于为难大家了。
良久，无人吱声。
“难道你们就一点办法都不能给本将军想想嘛，还是要本将军忍下这屈辱，给那汉人国师，送去大量粮食，供其享用嘛！！！”
李成桂怒不可遏的大声咆哮。
众人不敢作声，而有一魁梧将军眼神中异色闪过，随后站起身来，抱拳躬身喝道：“但凭大将军一声差遣，某便就率领五万大军，直奔釜山而去，定要那道衍国师，乖乖听话。”
李成桂闻言，刚想发怒，不过看到那魁梧将军，怒气渐渐消散。
这将军李成桂极为熟悉，相当初在战场上，曾经多次舍身救自己性命，若没有他，自己还能不能坐在这里都未可知。
一抹赞许从眼神中闪过，自己终究还是有几个得力亲信。
摆摆手，李成桂道：“勇气可嘉，不过这等鲁莽之事，往后休要再提。”
闻言，那魁梧将军眼神闪过极为强烈的遗憾之色，李成桂见了也没在意，他知道魁梧将军尤爱打仗，只当是不能打仗而遗憾。
不过在这一番打扰过后，李成桂也没了问话的心思。
长长吐出一口气，缓解心中郁闷，最后强忍着说道：“都议议吧，国师毕竟是我高丽国师，那十多万大军，亦是高丽子民，自当不能眼睁睁见其饿死。”
“不过国师的信件中，并没有说需要多少粮食，大家看看，该是运送多少粮食过去。”
李成桂话音落下，场内一阵沉默。
半晌后才有一文臣作揖道：“臣认为目前国师有军十二万，自有三十万石，便可足够。”
紧接着，立即有文臣反驳道：“不妥，三十万石，不过十二万大军一月消耗，且马上便是正旦，不可过于限制，依臣所见，当有四十万石方可。”
随后，又有反驳声响起：“不妥不妥，不仅仅是米麦，战马草料，柴火棉衣，都当需要，这严冬将至，必当有御寒衣物方可。”
“且严寒按惯例，当以持续将近两月，粮食当一次备足，得以过冬，否则半道缺粮，再次运输损耗极大。”
李成桂直感觉脑袋疼。
这些个文臣，一个个越发离谱起来。
然他心中清楚，国师没有写明需求，就是要更大的需求。
这个中的意思，便是摆明了不满意，就会带领大军赶来。
李成桂还能怎么办呢，在现在这个时候，他是不可能和道衍国师作对的。
唯一的期盼，就是在明年开春后，征伐倭国让道衍国师损失惨重。
到了那个时候，他才可以有机会去重新夺回自身的一切。
千里之外的朱英，自然是不知道高丽的一切。
信息的传播，也没这般迅速，得到消息后，怕是都已经是正旦节后了。
即便是知晓，朱英也不会在乎。
黑衣宰相姚广孝，要是连这点本事都没有，也就不可能名垂青史了。
那次给姚广孝筹集粮食的事出了岔子后，朱英便就书信一封到高丽釜山说明情况，便也没怎么管过了。
此时，朱英正和朱元璋商议，关于番薯，红薯，玉米春耕的策略。
现在正值十一月初，再有将近两月，便就是正旦。
往后一月，便是春回大地，万物复苏，春耕之际。
“户部统计，现有番薯等粮种约莫三十万石，现今这些粮种运往何处，分给何方，倒是要好生计较一番。”
朱元璋笑呵呵的说道。
正旦将至，朱元璋感觉今年的新年，将会是他十年来，最为高兴的一年了。
这么说好似有些对不起太子朱标，不过从心而论，逝者已逝，确是如此。
且这些番薯，马铃薯，还有玉米。
产量如此喜色，可见到了明年夏粮赋税的时候，国库将会多么喜人。
最为主要的是，有了这些作物，大多的百姓可以得其温饱了。
“孙儿认为，无论是番薯，马铃薯，玉米，都有一个共性，便是耐旱耐贫瘠，虽然在产量上有所损失，也能活不少百姓性命。”
“南方这边水稻众多，每年夏秋粮不少，不若是多多发往北方。”
朱英沉着说道。
无论是西北东北，都是严重缺乏水源，以旱田居多，也比较适合番薯等作物的习性。
大肆在南方传播的话，反而也引**耕于水稻争抢的问题。
像是在西北，就无须顾忌这般多了，比起南方来，那叫一个地广人稀，随处都可种植。
朱元璋赞同道：“大孙说得在理，咱便就吩咐下去，通行驿站，早日将这些粮种发放到百姓手中，以备来年春耕。”
虽然还有两三个月的时间，但现在就必须行动了。
首先便是路途遥远，单单运送就得一两月的时间，而后到当地官府发放，在时日上也就差不多了。
推迟一些，错过了春耕播种，那可是个大问题。
朱英思索一番后，继续说道：“爷爷，其实玉米这块，最为适宜种植在陕西地带，只是现今反贼占据，倒是有些可惜了。”
听到陕西反贼，朱元璋微微皱眉。
而后问道：“此话怎讲。”
朱英回道：“经孙儿在西域时发现，玉米乃是最佳饲料，尤其是在喂养战马上更甚。”
“经玉米饲养的战马，往往要比其他吃上等草料的战马更加强壮。”
“若能在陕西大规模种植玉米，不仅可温饱百姓，亦是能为我大明，饲养大量高等优质战马。”
战马于大明，是极为重要的战略资源。
对外战事上，至少在往后数十年内，都是以骑兵为主，想要远征，无论是倭国，亦或是安南等国，都得需要大量战马。
而陕西的关山草原，便就是大明疆域内最大且唯一的天然草原。
自古便以秦非子养马而闻名于世。
无论是在强汉盛唐时期，关山都为之提供了大量的优质战马，才保证了军中战马的供给。
可以说关山战马对于中原王朝来，都是首屈一指的重要之地。
没有优质的战马，便就很难与草原上的敌人相抗衡。
Although there were rebels in Shaanxi, the army was guarding the mountains and pass, so the rebels did not have the courage to provoke.
Just transporting grain seeds was difficult.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and said, "When spring comes next year, we must completely wipe out these rebels and crush them to pieces."
In ancient times, wars were not fought just because someone wanted to.
Just like the rebellion in Shaanxi, although the capital city received the news and prepared its troops, it has not yet set out.
The main reason is the season.
Marching in the cold winter is a big taboo, and Shaanxi is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is extremely easy to suffer a major defeat.
Moreover, many of them were soldiers stationed in farmlands. Even if they were going to the battlefield, they had to wait until the spring plowing season, otherwise the fields would be abandoned and the losses would be even greater.
