Chapter 96 Lifeline on the map

After hearing what his mother said, Yun Zhao finally felt confident that he didn't need to make random guesses.

Yunfu can regard the arsenal as a great thing, and sticking to his life is different for his grandfather.

The arsenal is also very important to him, but no matter how important the arsenal is, it is not as important as its own family and children. It is necessary to leave a way to go.

This kind of convenience is not psychologically burdened to enjoy. After all, it was left by his ancestors.

In the busy and chaotic situation, summer came unknowingly, and the food grew very gratifying. Whether it was wheat, millet, beans, or the new crops of Yun family grew very well. The only regret was that there was no cicadas and no locusts appeared on a large scale. Even sparrows were plagued by people, and they were caught by fine nets, all of which were in their stomachs.

Yun Zhao felt very proud!

Since Lantian County began to use labor for relief, some people died of illness and no one starved to death.

For this reason, he wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou and boasted about his achievements.

Hong Chengchou also replied. In the letter, Yun Zhao saw the names of Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, two characters that he was extremely afraid of.

Hong Chengchou, who was fighting against the bandits in Shanxi, did not take advantage of this time, mainly because these bandits actually ran away!

Sometimes in Shanxi and sometimes in Shaanxi, it was difficult to catch the beheading, which made Hong Chengchou very worried.

At the same time, Yun Zhao was urged to send people to the Southeast to buy grain early. He harvested very little food in Shangnan because not only his army was eating, but also had to help his brothers from time to time. The food was consumed very quickly, greatly shortening Hong Chengchou's expected combat time.

Yun Zhao had no intention of going to the southeast to buy grain. These days, grain is as precious as life, and there is no excess food anywhere. Even if there is one, it was taken away by salt merchants through various means to change salt and cause great wealth.

This year, Lantian County’s grain is not taken out for any of the grains, and it must be stored as reserved grains. Even if there is a bumper harvest, the same is true.

Since Yun Zhao couldn't buy food and didn't want to sell his food to Hong Chengchou, then Yun Zhao had the only choice to rob!

"In the past, Guanzhong was the most important place in the world, and the Grand Canal directly leads to Chang'an. Every day, ships entering Chang'an could line up more than ten miles. With the good position occupied by the Yun family, you can easily rob the ships on the Grand Canal.

However, after the unlucky fortune was not good, after the canal in Hangzhou was built along Mount Tai, directly to Yuan Dadu, there were not many ships on the canal in Guanzhong, many sections of the canal were abandoned, and only a few small fishing boats were left on the remaining rivers."

"After the Western Regions and Tubo people are no longer the great enemy of the Central Plains, Chang'an declines, Luoyang declines, and Guanzhong is no longer so important. With Tianshui and Dunhuang, the northwest defense line completely lost its enterprising spirit, it was natural that the Grand Canal turned the road and went straight to Yanshan defense line."

"Since the Tang Dynasty's Jiedushi An Lushan started his business with the help of Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong, the kings of all dynasties have placed their defense centers in Yanshan, and the general trend of the world has changed.

Only the southeast is always a place for wealth supply, and it continuously supports the rule of dynasties with money and food."

Yun Zhao took a sip of water and was about to continue explaining the world's trend to these stupid eggs. However, Yun Yang was impatient and sat upright and said dissatisfiedly: "We are just going to rob, why do you do such a lot of things you don't understand?"

Yun Zhao was angry and looked at Yun Yang fiercely and said, "Those who do not plan for a lifetime are not worth planning for a while, not planning for a moment... Forget it, I just want to tell you how to rob oneself so that a bad thing can turn a good thing!"

Yun Yang smiled and said, "We are robbers, can we do good things?"

Yun Zhao looked at the rebellious Yun Yang helplessly, then looked at the other sleepy bandit successors, and asked Qian Shaoshao to pull the curtains on the wall.

Behind the curtain is a map of the Ming Dynasty, which is written by Zhang Xianliang, a professor at Yushan Academy.

This map is different from all the maps Yun Zhao has seen. The map uses thin silk threads and embroidery needles to connect many lines.

Among them, the most threads are pulled out from two places, one is the capital and the other is Hangzhou!

In order to understand this map, Yun Zhao spent four days and took a lot of notes. Even so, what he knew at the moment was the basics.

In the past, although he had a little understanding of the circulation and interaction between regions... In the face of this map of the world-wide regional relationship created by Zhang Xianliang for ten years, it was not worth mentioning at all.

From now on, the Ming Dynasty has basically been a bad situation of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall. The length of each thread is actually the distance from the east wall to the west wall.

Yun Zhao stood in front of the map and suddenly lost the idea of ​​explaining the connection with these stupid guys.

Looking at the countless threads that appeared from the southeast, he felt very uncomfortable. As a county magistrate, he knew that the people of the southeast had been borne by the heaviest taxes in this country since the Ming Dynasty.

It is a good place for fish and rice. The fertile land made by high taxes is only two taels of silver. People who do not pay taxes are busy farming, but the people cannot eat. If this continues, God knows how long it will take for the southeast to supply the capital!

The reason for this incident was that they supported Zhang Shicheng at the beginning! They were so at ease that they were exploited by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Yun Zhao's view, just to vent the anger in his heart, he attacked everyone on a large scale. This is the immature side of Zhu Yuanzhang as a politician.

Seeing Yun Zhao stunned in front of the map, Yun Zhuan, Yun Shu and Yun Shu sneaked away. Only Yun Yang sat down and waited for Yun Zhao to wake up from his daze.

When Qian Shaoshao came in, Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Cover the map, and you will not display it with outsiders in the future."

Qian Shaoshao pulled the curtain and smiled: "Master Zhang is going to make a bigger one, so that he can teach students."

Yun Zhao curled his lips and said, "Wait until the group of students are 20 years old before reading. Now I can't understand it. Tell Master Zhang that this thing cannot be leaked."

I had a little money, so I went out to arrange it.

Yun Yang walked forward, opened the curtain again and said, "Tell me, you must be a good thing if you value it so much."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You don't understand."

Yun Yang shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, you can understand it."

Seeing that Yun Yang began to get serious, Yun Zhao pointed to the line on the map and said, "Look clearly, each line here represents financial expenditure. For example, the line from Zhuji to Datong Prefecture cannot be touched. Once it is touched, the soldiers of Datong Prefecture will be hungry, and the cavalry of the Tatars can enter the mainland to rob."

Yun Yang said disrespectfully: "Even if we don't touch each other, the border army will go hungry!"

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "But, no one will die."

Yun Yang looked at the map carefully and said in annoyance: "The silk threads on it are dense. If this one cannot be touched, that one cannot be touched. We are also a robber!"

Yun Zhao smiled and pointed to the silk thread on the wall and said, "What I said is that these red silk threads should not be touched. Try not to touch the blue silk threads. If you encounter them, just make a vote. As for the black silk threads, we must make a lot of thoughts."

"What kind of Mingyue Tower is?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "That kind doesn't count."

Yun Yang frowned and said, "How do I know that line we encountered when we were doing business?"

Yun Zhao pointed to his head and said, "I will tell you."

Yun Yang nodded and said, "It's so great. I'm going to practice riding swords. Will you go?"

Yun Zhao patted his fat belly and said, "I may not have the chance to be a qualified horse thief."

Yun Yang hugged Yun Zhao's neck and said, "It must be possible. We brothers will rob the world together, how can we lose you?"

After saying that, he dragged Yun Zhao away.

Qian Shaoshao jumped in from the window, found a small stool, sat in front of the map, holding his chin and looking carefully.

Although Master Zhang didn't listen to this picture when he explained it to the young master, the young master had already made it very clear just now.

In the future, this picture will be the area where everyone eats, and these silk threads will be the job of everyone eats.

It must be remembered that it is indispensable!
