    Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

    "This sentence of hard work comes from the bottom of my heart. Xiao Jing burst into tears when he heard it. Just listening to His Majesty's heart-warming words, Xiao Jing seemed to feel that this trip was worth it.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes immediately fell on Fang Jifan.

    However, Fang Jifan was panting and out of breath, and then he said: "My son I have met your Majesty"

    When Xiao Jing heard the heavy breathing, he was stunned, and the warmth in his heart suddenly became a little cold.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but become more gentle.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    But obviously Xiao Jing must have walked calmly and calmly if he was so energetic.

    But Fang Jifan was different. Fang Qing's family had changed from their usual chatter, but they were out of breath. Could it be that they ran all the way here?

    Although he is young, he still needs to pay attention to his body.

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh, young people just don't cherish themselves, and they are not in a hurry.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "Come and give Fang Qing's family a seat."

    Sure enough

    Xiao Jing¡¯s face was tense, and he clearly was the one who was doing the hard work.

    Without saying a word, he immediately stood up. Without waiting for the little eunuch's reaction, he hugged Jin Dun himself and reluctantly smiled at Fang Jifan.

    Fang Jifan sat down calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    "Your Majesty" Fang Jifan cleared his throat and said loudly: "My disciple Wang Shouren has rushed back from the Urals. He has been sent to the west for several years according to the order. When he came back this time, he was dusty.  I felt pity for his hard work and wanted him to have a rest, but he insisted on going to the palace to report the matter about Ural. After thinking about it, I followed him."

    Only then did Emperor Hongzhi notice Wang Shouren.

    Wang Shouren saluted Emperor Hongzhi expressionlessly: "I have met your Majesty."

    Emperor Hongzhi had already been deeply impressed by Wang Shouren.

    He nodded and cheered up, and then said: "How is it? How about there? I heard that the Qing family led troops across the Ural Mountains and then settled in the western foothills of the mountains, right?"

    Wang Shouren said: "Reporting to your Majesty, that's exactly what happened."

    He paused, and then said: "After I led my troops to cross the mountains, the Ural Mountains are really a natural chasm. Not only is the weather bad, but the roads are extremely unsmooth. However, facing the entire west of the Ural, there are thousands of miles of fertile wilderness. Although it is  It's freezing cold, the weather is bad, and the land is mostly swamps. When winter comes, it becomes muddy and difficult to travel, but here the land is still fertile, and further west, it is even more fertile. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a granary for thousands of miles."

    Thousand-mile granary

    Hearing this, many people couldn¡¯t help but feel warm.

    In fact, there are not many places in the world that are truly suitable for growing food.

    "It's just that the Han people hold the simple concept that food is their first priority, and because of their large population, no matter whether it is fertile land or ordinary mountains and plains, all land has to be toiled for food.

    But looking at the whole world, there are not many places that are truly suitable for growing grain. As for this thousand-mile granary, there are only a handful of them that can be called such a place in the Ming Dynasty's concept.

    "Oh? Really?" Emperor Hongzhi grimaced.

    "Exactly, there are also a large number of Tatars migrating and settling in the west of the Urals. According to their descriptions, I am also very concerned about this, so I ordered an expedition to go there, which also included the captains of the Tuntian Guards. They went through  It took more than a year to draw maps and survey the land before I brought back this extremely useful information."

    When the monarchs and ministers heard this, they couldn't help but be moved. You can imagine that a group of people traveled far away from their settlements and traveled thousands of miles to a strange place for a year. The risks they took and the pain they suffered, even if it was  People here who have never experienced this will sweat it.

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said: "The vastness of the world really opened my eyes. My Ming Dynasty only focused on Jiangnan in the past, but it was really short-sighted."

    This is the truth.

    Because since Wang Shouren dared to say that this is the Qianli Granary, then it must be another Jiangnan.

    Even though the land in Golden Continent is fertile, most of it is undeveloped barren land and requires generations of cultivation before it can be turned into a granary.

    Wang Shouren said: "This UralIt is suspected that the natural chasm between the Ming Dynasty and this granary made it extremely difficult to supply the army. Because of this, I did not rush ahead for the sake of success. Instead, I first established farming in the western foothills of the Ural and recruited refugees of all ethnic groups. Happy Group  It is absolutely impossible to continue to advance westward with the Ming Dynasty's supplies. Only by establishing supplies at the western foot of the Urals can we continue to use troops westward.  "

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn¡¯t help but nod.

    It is a taboo for military strategists to be greedy for merit and advance rashly.

    Wang Shouren is obviously not just a general, but a thoughtful person. What he is thinking about is the future.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out outweigh the world, the powerful Han army and Tang soldiers even reached Persia and fought in Tianzhu.

    But so what, after all, these places cannot last long, even if they are defeated, in the end, they cannot be occupied for a long time.

    " Wang Shouren's strategy is completely different.

    If he achieves a great victory west of the Urals, it will be gratifying and he will achieve great fame.  But what?  The final result may be that it becomes the end of a powerful battle, and in the end, the results of a great victory are like a flash in the pan.

    Wang Shouren chose but a more terrifying tactic. He began to cultivate fields, grow food, recruit troops, refugees, and even people of all ethnic groups who were bullied by the Rus.

    As long as food is grown in the fields, the population will gradually increase, and the tug of war with the Russians will gradually begin. The bad weather and the muddy land are certainly not good for the Xingfu Group's march to the west, but  To a certain extent, it is also very disadvantageous for the Russians to expel the forces of the Happy Group.  This is enough to give Wang Shouren a huge space to play.

    Wang Shouren said: "After I led the people to Xilu, I found that although the land there could not grow wheat and rice, the muddy land was uniquely blessed for potatoes, and the yield per mu could be worth two thousand catties. With this  Potatoes, I dare to say that in ten years at most and three to five years at least, the Ming Dynasty could organize a hundred thousand troops and nibble westward without spending a single grain of grain."

    Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding. Although he had heard about Wang Shouren's strategy for a long time, it was completely different from Wang Shouren's proposition when he mentioned it face to face.

    Wang Shouren was a very thoughtful person. He was patient, able to spot the right timing, capable of both literary and military skills. He could mount a horse to kill the enemy, dismount the horse, and lead people to farm This man was actually taught by Fang Jifan, Hongzhi.  The emperor was shocked and couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan who was sitting beside him, and said to himself: "This is how you should give birth to a child."

    This is an extremely prudent strategy. Even Emperor Hongzhi is now beginning to worry about the Russians. When they meet Wang Shouren, they can only be considered unlucky.

    He calmed down briefly: "I also heard that the Qing family recruits refugees and educates people of all ethnic groups?"

    "Yes." Wang Shouren nodded and said: "Your Majesty, people in the world, no matter where they come from, are subject to birth, old age, illness and death. What they want is just a stable life, and what they want is not to starve to death. In the Urals  The Tatars are suffering from hunger and cold, and have been repeatedly invaded and plundered by the Russians. They have already reached an unbearable point. These Tatars, most of whom are descendants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, are already miserable at this time. In view of the bitter cold in the Urals, I cannot support them in large numbers for the time being.  The refugees from the customs are moving there, so we must rely on these Tatars."

    And next, it was obvious that the issue that Emperor Hongzhi was most concerned about came.

    ¡°These Tatars¡­ are they reliable?

    If it¡¯s unreliable, wouldn¡¯t everything be lost?

    But if it is reliableto educate the Tatarsisn't this the dream of many Confucian scholars since ancient times?

    Finally updated, my status is not very good today, I need to check some information, I¡¯m late, sorry.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
