    Zhu Houzhao seemed a little discouraged.

    He didn¡¯t know that the sprouted potatoes in Fang Jifan¡¯s hands were actually the real killer.

    Because this thing, as a cold-resistant crop, is very suitable for cultivation in Liaodong and the desert.

    In fact, in Fang Jifan¡¯s previous world, the main potato producing areas were Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. Not only that, but also Outer Mongolia also relied on potatoes as their staple food.

    Food, once food can be grown in the ground, it means that more people can be fed. More people will require more land. What is a gentry society? Gentry society does not pursue the accumulation of wealth, but they  There is a visceral longing for land, especially land that can produce food.

    The princes in the Ming Dynasty temple are opposed to fighting the Tatars, and they don't even think about taking the initiative to attack. Why is this?  This is because large-scale wars have not brought them the slightest benefit. On the contrary, once a war is imminent, a large number of strong men will be conquered. Then who will cultivate the thousands of hectares of fertile land in their homes? Not only is this no good,  Still suffering a loss.

    But what if a large amount of new land can be acquired?  And what you get is land that can grow food

    Fang Jifan never believed that the gentry and landowners behind the princes in the court were good people. Even though they shouted loudly about benevolence, justice and morality, sir, these grandsons were fighting for a water source and a few pieces of land.  In the countryside, hundreds or even thousands of people dared to fight with each other. Only a few members of the clan were killed, and they were too embarrassed to go out to meet people.

    And the entire desert is so vast. Compared with the dozens of acres of paddy fields, it is like the difference between the brightness of stars and the light of fireflies.

    Zhu Houzhao seemed lazy, but he still lay on the ground, pouting his pigu, and tried his best to gently straighten the bean sprouts planted in the ground, while observing the small sprouts: "In the desert ground, grain grows.  , can the Ming Dynasty eliminate the Tatars forever?"

    "Yes, as long as the desert can become Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall, that's fine."

    Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and felt something was wrong. He turned to Fang Jifan with a gray face and said, "But I see that the ministers in the court have no interest in the desert at all. They only want to stay in the pass and live in peace."

    Fang Jifan smiled slightly. He decided to teach Zhu Houzhao a lesson, so he put down the dagger in his hand: "Your Highness, in this world, don't listen to what people say. We Han people are human beings, and the Tatars outside the customs are also human beings. They are all  People, then, actually follow a law that started with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.¡±

    "What's the rule?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan seriously.

    ??If we say that Zhu Houzhao learned the so-called empathy and the unity of knowledge and action from Wang Shouren.

    ¡°So what you learn from Fang Jifan will most likely be full of bad news.

    Fang Jifan said: "Everything in the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. All human principles are for profit. The Tatars madly attacked our Ming Dynasty for profit, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty opposed the Ming Dynasty.  The large-scale use of troops is also for profit. Otherwise, why do we, the Ming Dynasty, occupy the richest land in the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that your highness thinks that the territory of our Han Dynasty is bounded by the sea to the east, the plateau to the west, and the south is full of miasma and forests.  dense forests, and a desert to the north.¡±

    "Don't you understand, Your Highness? Our ancestors built for us the richest land in the world. Your Highness thought that in this rich land, there were only Han people in the past? No, in fact, there are many people here.  Unfortunately, many people were not very lucky. They happened to occupy good fertile farmland, and were either killed completely, or driven to the desert, to the dense forest filled with miasma, or to other places.  In that dense forest where you can't even breathe smoothly. Your Highness really believes that our ancestors really relied on benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, or the "Zhou Rites" that began with Duke Zhou, to lay their foundation for eternity."

    "Actually, we are the same as the Tatars outside the customs, at least in our hearts. We are all people driven by profit. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty opposed large-scale use of troops, not because they have benevolence, justice and etiquette, but because,  They are unprofitable, can Your Highness understand what I mean?"

    Zhu Houzhao scratched his head: "Tatars and us are really the same? There is no difference at all?"

    "There is a little bit of it." Fang Jifan sighed: "Tatars and us are the same in our hearts, but the former are stinky."

    Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth: "Yes, these stinky and shameless things, what about us?"

    Fang Jifan said calmly: "We are different from them. We are more advanced. We are the ones who have built archways."

    Zhu Houzhao fell silent and began to think blindly.

    Fang Jifan was still chattering on the side.nbsp; Their report has probably reached the capital a long time ago, and not just the capital. What is the situation?

    But they knew that if this situation continued, Jinzhou City was going to mutiny. The people outside the pass were not as submissive as those inside the pass. They were not just joking around.

    And Liu Jin obviously felt bad too.

    When he came to Jinzhou, he had already made a lot of money. Under the banner of the East Palace, the palace where he stayed was filled with several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. At first, he was worried about how to bring these boxes back.  Later, he increasingly realized that something was wrong.

    ¡°If the Tatars don¡¯t come herewill I and Ouyang Zhi be so tossing herewill they be slaughtered to appease the anger of the army and the people?
