The prosperity of Hubei and Hunan provinces meant a prosperous nation, a situation that Zhu Yunying had always longed for. This was a situation that historically only emerged in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty and truly matured in the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Yunying was now vigorously developing it with countless resources.
Zhu Yunying understood that it was practically impossible for him to accomplish this entirely on his own, but he laid a more solid foundation. With a little more effort from young Zhu, a basic outline would soon be visible.
At that time, regardless of whether the emperor has foresight or not, the officials in the court, and even the common people of the world, will make their choice with their eyes closed.
After all, places like Jing and Xiang have great potential, and they are bound to become increasingly prosperous. So it's only natural for people to migrate there, and there's no need for the government to officially relocate them.
Zhu Yunying and Old Zhu looked at little Zhu with smiles. Perhaps in the eyes of some Confucian scholars, the Crown Prince was not particularly talented in literature and was not well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics.
However, Zhu Yunying and the old Zhu were very satisfied with the young Zhu's performance. The young Zhu's knowledge and understanding were more in line with the requirements of an emperor, and he should not be just a civil emperor.
Looking at little Zhu, Zhu Yunying asked again, "Yin'er, this land of Jingxiang is about to become the next Jiangnan, the granary of our Great Ming. Tell me, how many granaries does our Great Ming have right now?"
The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, but also a large population, and many areas were not necessarily the most suitable for growing grain. Food security was a matter of national importance, and therefore required more effort; these matters could not be taken lightly.
No matter how many granaries or how much grain there is, Zhu Yunying has never been worried. This is something he has always strived for.
