In the imperial study room, Zhu Xu looked at the news from Nanjing, now called Jiangsu, and nodded secretly.

"The Jiangnan is too luxurious and prosperous, and it's good to have some blood and energy."

Zhu Xu whispered, but the matter of withdrawing the capital was extraordinary after all, and it was difficult to eliminate the impact without a year or two in digestion.

He had hundreds of new memorials on hand, from Jiang/Su Yansheng to various places, some of them were implicitly advised, some were straightforward, some even cursed, and some even impeached Prime Minister Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Xu shook his head with some amusement and picked up another stack, which belonged to the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhu Xu attached great importance to the Ministry of Revenue and took it seriously. This is a memorial by the Ministry of Revenue, who is responsible for promoting drought-resistant crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.

It is said that the area planted in various places this year is expected to exceed 8 million mu, and the estimated output is 200 million kilograms, which is more than twice that of ordinary grains.

Zhu Xu looked at this number and looked hesitant. The most intense moment of the so-called small glacier has not yet arrived, and it has been continuously for decades. At that time, the yield of these drought-resistant crops will also be greatly reduced.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xu said to Cao Huachun: "Xiao Cao, today you take the time to go to Huitong Trading Company in person and tell your brother that the land under the name of Huitong Trading Company will not violate the force sowing of corn and sweet potatoes. Also, let him accelerate the purchase of grain, even if the price is higher. Starting next year, the Huimin Chamber of Commerce will be fully deployed in He/Nan, Shaanxi/Xi, Shaanxi/Xi, Shandong/Tong, Sichuan and other places to completely suppress grain prices, replace grain with sweet potatoes and corn, and store them. The granaries in various places are not enough, so increase to ten!"

The promotion of the Ministry of Revenue was not smooth, but the total amount of "private property" in his hand, the acres of land he collected from the royal family, and the wasteland he had been purchasing and reclaimed, etc., exceeded 100 million mu. The output in this amount would be quite considerable.

Cao Huachun knew Zhu Xu's prediction of the future disaster and responded: "Yes, I will leave the palace to see Mr. Fu later."

Zhu Xu nodded and continued to read the memorial.

The disasters in Hubei, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places are getting worse this year. From the memorial of Qin Liangyu of the General Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Government and the Prime Minister of the four provinces, we can see that grain production reduction is not a small matter.

Qin Liangyu submitted a report to the military farmland, imitating Liaodong, and reclaimed it by soldiers, and then handed it over to the local government to allocate it to the people.

The Ming Dynasty was still in a relatively preliminary stage of land reclamation. Many fertile land were idle or used for other purposes. Zhu Xu wrote a big word "quasi-" on it and criticized Wen Zhao Pavilion, which was recommended to other provincial governors.

Due to the unity of Zhu Xu and Zhu Youjian's "monarch and minister", the capital has a calm that has not been seen for a long time, and although it is still surging in secret.

In Wen Zhao Pavilion, Zhu Youjian looked at a memorial from the Ministry of War and frowned, looking unhappy.

This is a memorial to discuss peace between the Minister of War Shen Yongmao and the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty, Mandahai, and it contains various negotiation conditions.

Including the Later Jin Dynasty's tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the annual tribute, the clear boundaries, the redemption of Daishan with silver, Tong Yangzhen and others, the covenant that did not attack each other, etc.

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the others, but there was only one that made it difficult for him to agree.

Just let Dai Shan, Tong Yangzhen and others go back, in their opinion, Jiannu should die and should be executed as soon as possible. How can he let the tiger go back to the mountain?

After a while, he was still unsure of his mind and attracted Qian Longxi to discuss with Shi Feng.

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, the two looked moved. Qian Longxi thought for a while and said, "Prince, Dai Shanna's biggest thief chief, cannot be released!"

Shi Fenglai also agreed and said, "Prince, the so-called four major beiles in Jiannu took turns to govern the government. Mangourtai was dead, Amin was seriously injured, Daishan was captured by our dynasty, and the third one was gone, just like a tiger chopping its claws, and he must not let it go!"

Zhu Youjian felt confident when he listened to the two of them. He wrote a big "re-discussion" on this memorial and brought the memorial back to the Ministry of War.

In the inn, Mandahai has been in Beijing for more than half a month, and he has always been confused and made no progress in rescuing his father Dai Shan.

His most direct feeling about the Ming Dynasty was that it was different from the past. Those who had taken the money and could do anything for him now dare not take the money. It was not that they didn’t love it, but that things were difficult to handle.

Mandahai stood in front of the window, opened the window and opened it outside, frowned and said, "Did you find that Mingguo seems to be a little different."

He saw that the streets were full of people, and the big merchants and small vendors were all full of enthusiasm, as if no one was short of money, and each one was very rich, without any word of mouth in Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty was extremely corrupt, hopeless, and the country was not far away.

Where can such a prosperous scene be a sign of a country's destruction?

The personal soldiers stood behind him and sneered: "Don't be deceived by the Southern Barbarians. This must have been deliberately made for us. I heard that most people in the Ming Dynasty could not have enough food, and people were rebelling everywhere. Their treasury has a tax of less than one million taels per year!"

Mandahai naturally knew these, but are these in front of him real and fake?

Suddenly, another personal soldier hurried in and said, "Beller, that Cao Qincheng has collected the money."

Mandahai was happy and turned around and said, "Can you meet Ama?"

The personal soldier said, "I don't know yet. Cao Qincheng is the Minister of Justice, so it shouldn't be difficult."

Mandahai nodded. He knew the virtues of Ming Dynasty officials. As long as he took the money, there would be nothing that could not be done!

He had reached peace agreements with the Ming Dynasty Minister of War Shen Yongmao. Although he could not redeem the 50,000 troops, he could save his father, Tong Yangzhen and others, which was also a great achievement.

He turned his head and looked out the window, and silently said, "Let's go out and have a walk."

The personal soldiers behind him were shocked and hurriedly said, "Beller, the Southern Barbarians do not allow us to go out at will, otherwise it will cause disagreement."

But Mandahai walked straight outside and said, "The conditions have been agreed upon, and I believe that Ming Dynasty will not have any trouble again."

The personal soldiers didn't know why Mandahai had to go out, so they had to follow him.

The three of them also knew the hatred of Mingren for Jiannu, and they all pretended to be Han people and walked slowly.

Bypassing the streets, they listened to operas in teahouses, had dinner in restaurants, selected courtesans in brothels, and watched competitions at literary gatherings. They spent more than two hours shopping.

When he returned to the inn, Mandahai looked ugly and locked in the room for a long time.

The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond his imagination, and was far beyond Shen/Yang. In his opinion, a capital alone would be ten times more than their Jin Kingdom! What's more, the huge Ming Dynasty, which was hundreds of times larger than that!

These two hours shocked him very much!

In the evening, Zhu Xu had a meal in Cining Palace. As soon as he returned to the imperial study, Shen Yongmao and Sun Chuanting were waiting.

Zhu Xu was shaving his teeth. When he saw the two of them, he quickly threw them away, walked in with his hands behind his back, and smiled and said, "The two adults are still in the palace so late. Is there anything wrong?"

Both of them pretended not to see the emperor's indecentness just now. Shen Yongmao stepped forward and said, "Emperor, the memorial to discuss peace with Jiannu was brought back by Wen Zhaoge and asked for a reconsideration."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, took the memorial and looked at it, but did not write the reason. He sat on the chair and looked up at Shen Yongmao and said, "What did Brother Xin say?"

Sun Chuanting said: "I have asked someone to go to Wenzhao Pavilion to inquire. It seems that King Xin was dissatisfied with letting Dai Shan go, Tong Yangzhen and others."

Zhu Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "How is Tong Yangzhen doing there?"

Cao Huachun came over and found a memorial from below, saying, "Return to the emperor, Wei Zhongxian has already handled it before leaving the capital. Tong Yangzhen agreed to surrender and is willing to go back and persuade the thief chief to surrender. This is a letter of loyalty."

Shen Yongmao and Sun Chuanting were neither stupid. They were stunned before and realized in a flash that "persuading the thief chief to surrender" was just a nice sound, but in fact, they were just doing "detailed work".

Shen Yongmao had no objection and said, "Emperor, what should the thief chief Daishan do?"

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, staring at the memoir on the table, without saying a word.

Daishan is the biggest man in Jiannu. Although Huang Taiji is a great khan, he is still taking turns to govern the government. Daishan ranks first and is the great beller!

Not only Zhu Youjian, I am afraid that most people will not agree to let Dai Shan go back.

Regarding Zhu Youjian, Zhu Xu was also flexibly changing his methods. After pondering for a while, he said, "Well, let the emperor brother live together this time, and let Dai Shan and Tong Yangzhen live together first, and act like they want to go back... But Mandahai, find an excuse to stay."

Shen Yongmao and Sun Chuanting were both stunned. They all knew that the emperor never gave in every dispute between King Xin and the emperor, and he nodded this time? What's even more strange is that the emperor actually detained the envoy of Jiannu?

However, the two of them didn't care about this. The remaining power of the Liaodong battle was still there, and the two of them were quite confident and raised their hands and said, "Abide by the order!"

Zhu Xu's concessions made Zhu Youjian stunned, and was overjoyed and relieved.

Ministry of Justice Prison.

Tong Yangzhen and Dai Shan and others were moved together, and dozens of people were crowded together, which was really lively.

Tong Yangzhen treated Dai Shan with courtesy and said, "I would like to pay my respects to Da Beile."

Dai Shan sat around the corner with a calm expression. He helped him up and said, "Get up, thank you for your hard work, you have suffered a lot in this prison, right?"

As soon as Dai Shan finished speaking, Tong Yangzhen's son Tong Fengnian said hatefully: "Big Beile, the Southern Barbarians are really worse than pigs and dogs. Every day, they give us punishments to fun. Nothing is good around my father!"

Dai Shan glanced at Tong Yangzhen, looked cold and comforted, "Don't worry, my son Mandahai has come to discuss peace, and news comes quietly, we will return to the north soon."

Tong Fengnian and others were overjoyed and thanked Dai Shan.

Tong Yangzhen looked at Dai Shan, her eyes flashed in panic, and she was so difficult to salute, but Dai Shan stopped her.

Perhaps because they were both people who fell into the world, Dai Shan and Tong Yangzhen had a very speculative chat and talked a lot, especially the Ming Dynasty cannons. Dai Shan promised that if they returned to Beijing, they would definitely ask Tong Yangzhen to preside over the presidency and cast cannons to attack the Ming Dynasty.
