"I came north this time mainly to see what the defense situation is, and when will the situation in the north be pacified? Shangdu and Datong be settled? Now, as soon as I came here, I received good news. The emperor's brother went to the country of Goryeo. Not only did he take back the tribute daughters of Goryeo, but he also quelled the civil strife in Goryeo, supporting the forces of Li Zichun who are friendly with us, becoming the king of Goryeo, and also renamed Goryeo to Korea." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne in Dadu, looking at the ministers below, and his words were very affirmed: "This time the emperor's brother went out and shared my worries. The emperor's brother is really a blessing general of my life."

"The emperor has given me too much." Chen Feng said: "All this is what the ministers should do. Now, with North Korea in the east and restraining the Tartars in Liaodong, we will definitely be more smooth when we advance north."

In the hall, I heard that Chen Feng had done so many things on his mission to Goryeo this time, and he was also sighing that Goryeo did not obey the Ming Dynasty and deserved this treatment. Prince Chen was able to help Li Zichun come to power. In the future, Li Zichun must be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Lord Chen went to Goryeo and made great contributions to the court. Suddenly, there was a sound of praise in the court.

"Emperor, these are all things that the empress should do. Now, Li Zichun has just ascended the throne in Korea. It is best for our dynasty to send official documents to Li Zichun and grant Li Zichun the king of Korea. In this way, Li Zichun's ascension to the throne will be completely legal. Also, our dynasty should also be divided as soon as possible regarding the division of the border with Goryeo." Chen Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, the Ministry of Personnel immediately drafted a document to me for my review."

"Yes, follow the order." The Minister of Personnel immediately stood up and replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave some more instructions, and the officials took the order and left. Soon, only Chen Feng was left in the court.

"Brother Emperor, if it weren't for you, my great cause of dominating the world would probably have been delayed for several years." Only Chen Feng was left, and there was nothing to hide. Zhu Yuanzhang said this sincerely.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already stepped off the dragon throne and stood with Chen Feng, as if he was a brother.

"The emperor has a heavy word. Even if he has no ministers, the emperor is the true emperor. The world will also fall into the hands of the emperor." Chen Feng said. At this time, Chen Feng didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in the gourd.

"Brother, with your talent, even you can sit in the world. At the beginning, I once said that after we unify the Central Plains, I will share the world with you." Zhu Yuanzhang continued.

"I am afraid." Chen Feng said quickly: "Emperor, since ancient times, there can only be one emperor. In the current Ming Dynasty, there is no one else. I am very moved by the words of the past, but the courtesy of the king and the ministers must not overcome this kind of etiquette."

Just kidding, sharing the world? Now, I just need to keep my existing territory, as long as I have these forces in my hands. Since ancient times, the emperor's words are even more unreliable than women's words. The emperor's words are faster than women's words.

"It's a pity that it's easy to win the world right away, but it's impossible to govern the world right away. Nowadays, the country is full of wild animals, and it's even more difficult to manage the world well. I have come all the way north and see that especially in the north, the land is much more desolate. I don't know what kind of governance strategies can I have?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

It turned out that he was here to talk to him about the way of governing the country. Chen Feng was relieved when he heard this. This was not Zhu Yuanzhang's test to teach him, but in fact he had nothing to say. Except for most of them controlled by Chen Feng, other places in the north were all officials selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the desolation there had nothing to do with Chen Feng.

Since I asked, I would just say it, anyway, it is for the people of the world.

"Your Majesty, years of war in the north have led to a sharp decline in the population. Now that the war has just subsided, there is insufficient labor around it, so the land is deserted, which is common." Chen Feng said.

Chen Feng knew about the situation around him. The war was ruthless, and ordinary people either went to join the army or were killed by riots. Nine out of ten families were empty. This is really not an exaggeration.

Since the Liu Futong's initiation, the north has experienced wars several times.

"Then how should we solve it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Encourage people's livelihood. All wastelands that are reclaimed belong to the people themselves. Taxes will not be collected within three years. In this way, the land will naturally be reclaimed by the people and planted food." Chen Feng said: "Food is the most important thing for people. The north cannot rely entirely on the south to supply food, but also rely on doing it yourself to make up enough food and clothing."

"However, the population is sparse, and no matter how strong each person has, it will be limited in cultivation, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"I wonder if the emperor has any good plans?" Chen Feng asked.

"If people from Jiangnan are moved to the north, can we quickly solve this problem?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, never." Chen Feng said immediately.

Never mind? Hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and his eyes seemed to see Chen Feng's heart at once, and asked, "What's wrong with this?"

Is this still unclear? Chen Feng said: "Emperor, the emperor can also feel the difference in the climate between the north and the south?"

The north is cold and the south is wet. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally had a deep understanding of it all the way. He nodded and said, "Yes, the climate is very different."

"The emperor has been unable to leave his hometown since ancient times. Moreover, the people of Jiangnan have long been used to living in water towns, boats as tools, and rainy weather. However, they are not used to the dry land in the north, and they are even more unable to adapt to the severe cold of winter. The dignified officials and nobles can wear thick fur clothes to keep the cold. However, ordinary people who have moved here do not understand the method of keeping cold. If they insist on moving the people of Jiangnan, there will probably be many casualties. At that time, things will go against their wishes." Chen Feng said: "Please think twice."

If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to do this, Chen Feng had tried his best. He could move as he wanted. However, the people in Chen Feng's territory would definitely not move, so Chen Feng would not play such a game with the emperor.

Chen Feng's words immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang wake up. Indeed, what bad idea did Hu Weiyong give me! Migration between the north and the south will make it difficult for the people to adapt. The Ming Dynasty had just been established, and if it had done such a move, it would be a fear of civil unrest.

"Actually, the idea of ​​moving people to the north is good, but we should not move from the south." Chen Feng continued.

Chen Feng still has a principle in doing things. Whether it is facing Tuohuan Timur or Zhu Yuanzhang now, as long as it involves the interests of the people, Chen Feng will try his best to fight for it. When many authorities stand on the stairs of high rulers, they will forget that they were actually ordinary people.

"Oh? Let me tell you." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty, to the west of us, is a densely populated place, and the climate is no different from here. If you move people there, you will not have these problems." Chen Feng said.

"Brother Emperor, do you mean Shanxi?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The emperor is wise, my emperor is really a wise ruler!" Chen Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone. It's true, why did he forget this place!

Over the years, the entire Central Plains have been experiencing wars. Only Shanxi has always been safe and sound. Moreover, there are no floods or droughts in Shanxi. Over the years, it has been good weather and the population is also very dense.

The climate in Shanxi is similar to that in Shandong, Henan, and the Secretariat. If you move there, there will be no problem of being unacceptable.

What's better is that the people there are still under the rule of the Tartars. Since they are so obedient to the Tartars, they should be allowed to walk around so as not to gather in Shanxi and cause trouble.

A killing number of numbers in one fell swoop.

The only question is that there is still a constellation guarding it.

"Brother Emperor, your suggestions are very good, but there is not our territory yet," said Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, although it's not there now, it will definitely be there in the future." Chen Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Brother Emperor, after my cavalry is trained, it will be the time for us to advance westward!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked out the window and most of them had already reached the hands of the Ming Dynasty. However, the main force of the Tartars still existed, so we must continue to prepare for the war.

"When the Tartars were in Dadu, did they often hunt outside the Dadu city?" After a while of contemplation, Zhu Yuanzhang said this.

"The emperor, there was such a tradition during the Kublai Khan period, but it was abandoned later. The emperor who had been in Dadu for more than ten years seemed to have only been hunting twice." Chen Feng said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang raised such a topic, Chen Feng became nervous. He must have said this intentionally. Could it be that he wanted to hunt, right?

Brother Zhu, stay honestly in the palace and send you away. That's all. Don't do this, Chen Feng thought to himself.

"No wonder the Tartars' combat effectiveness has declined so much. Our army must not enjoy the comfort." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since I am here this time, why not organize a hunting outside the capital."

Are you really coming? Chen Feng said: "Your Majesty, the whole city has known you've come to Dadu this time. I'm afraid you'll know that in Shangdu and Shanxi's Tartars. If we go out of the city to hunt, there are risks."

Chen Feng said it very clearly. Anyway, he was the emperor's brother, so he was considering the emperor's safety.
