According to folk legend, Fang Guoan is "Fang's anus alone", so he is the wealthy life of "non-public marquis". Zhu Cixuan learned from Zhang Dai's prose in his previous life that Fang Guoan was granted a title of Duke in the Southern Ming court. It seems that folk legends are also forward-looking. However, this prophecy related to physiological incompleteness is really not sure whether it is a fan of him or a vilifying him.

When he met Fang Guoan himself, Zhu Cilang did not see any of the appearance of the princes. This warlord who came from a poor family and lost his parents since childhood had been completely corrupted by the southern makeup. He did not look like a self-struggle official, but like the degenerate children of wealthy families. Even the true second-generation power generation Wu Sangui, who was more heroic than him.

——This is not a person who can accomplish anything.

Zhu Cilang secretly labeled him.

"Your Highness, my troops have not many troops stationed in Hangzhou, and many places have caused slavery and bandits, so the army is scattered in Zhejiang, including Zhuji and Yuyao..." Fang Guoan had long heard that the crown prince was smart and was quite timid in lying in person at this moment, but he had carefully inquired about the crown prince's itinerary and important staff and counselors under his command, so he should not be able to collect evidence of his crimes so quickly.

His sins were nothing more than drinking blood from soldiers, eating empty wages, occupying some land, and hollowing out the garrison.

As long as he does not rebel, Zhu Cilang has no intention of pursuing it carefully.

"How many people did he report?" Zhu Cixuan asked the staff around him.

The General Staff sent a accompanying adjutant and staff quickly responded: "Fifty-three, four hundred and sixty-two people, one thousand war horses, two thousand pack horses, donkeys and mules of various colors, and several armed forces."

"I recognize them all." Zhu Cixuan said: "Let Xiao Mo hand over the troops according to this number. Today, let him take his own soft and soft hands, leave the military camp, and make a living by himself. All the land and houses under his name will be collected. If there is nowhere to go, give him a post ticket and let him go to Beijing to stay in a dormitory."

The staff retreated.

The left and right guards set up Fang Guoan, who had forgotten his eyes and even begged for mercy, and went out together.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Min Ziruo beside him and said, "You have been with me for so long. Now the situation is stable. Do you want to go out of the army to make a future?"

Zhejiang Town will definitely not have a scale of more than 50,000 people. If it can accommodate 10,000 qualified soldiers and the newly trained southern troops, the First Division can be expanded into an army. Min Ziruo has been Zhu Cixuan's personal bodyguard since joining the army. If he is willing to lead the troops, it is an opportunity at this moment.

Min Ziruo thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I am still willing to follow Your Highness."

"oh?"

"I only wish to practice boxing like my master, but I really don't have the energy to practice military training and fight." Min Ziruo said consciously: "And with Huyi's kung fu, it's useful to protect Your Highness, but when I really entered the military formation, I couldn't use it."

The army also practices boxing and stands. They also have close combat skills. However, when they really go to the battlefield, they will shoot artillery first, followed by muskets. Now the only troops who can compete with elite swords and guns in the field are the only ones who can see the enemy. The Donglu is also getting weaker and weaker. The battles mentioned in the Liaodong war report recently were all initiated by Xiao Donglou and Chen De.

In this case, the force of individual soldiers is indeed useless.

Zhu Cilang nodded and no longer mentioned the army. In fact, he was more willing to see the experienced Min Ziruo always following him. He was just worried about his future.

When Fang Guoan fell, some of his servants were willing to follow him. They also hoped to stay in Zhejiang to continue to serve in the army and eat food, but no one was willing to unload the armor and return to farming. The Ming Dynasty was an important period for agricultural specialization, and coupled with the difficult climatic conditions in the late Ming Dynasty, not anyone could become a farmer.

Xiao Mo naturally welcomed this. The Zhejiang soldiers selected by Qi Jiguang made the reputation of the Qi family army, and even in the Battle of Hunhe, the Zhejiang soldiers also let Jiannu escape. Xiao Mo came to Zhejiang this time. At the gate of expansion, he naturally had to get close to the water tower and get the moon first, and selected a batch of elite soldiers.

Compared with the devastations in the north, Zhejiang is indeed a paradise. Even if the national turmoil caused by the national change, the market can still be kept clean. Zhu Cixuan only went around Hangzhou City and re-appointed the important personnel of the Zhejiang Administrator and the Censorate Department, and then left the city and lived in the military camp.

Song Yingxing was also very curious about the crown prince not entering the city, and soon he knew the reason.

The crown prince began to "travel around" with a large group of people. Sometimes he didn't even go back to the military camp and camped directly on the spot. If the weather hadn't warmed up, his physical fitness would have been a bit unbearable.

Zhu Cixuan went south to Zhejiang this time, but wanted to use Song Yingxing's mind to vigorously carry out the sericulture industry.

From a national perspective, it is obviously better to make farming in Jiangnan than to raise silkworms and harvest silk.

Mulberry trees are not picky about the land, and they can survive whether they are barren, fertile, or too dry or wet. The income of mulberry leaves can be only three or six cents per mu per year, which is comparable to the best field. Moreover, there are various risks in planting crops in the fields, but the risks of mulberry leaves can be ignored.

What's more, mulberries do not need to occupy good fields. They can be planted in slopes or corner wastelands, and can also provide mulberries and firewood.

Moreover, when raising silkworms in Jiangnan, they have a folk foundation. In many places, every household is a silk household. From mother-in-law to young girls, they can raise silkworms and silk. The benefits of raw silk and silk are naturally greater than the benefits of grain. Moreover, raw silk is an important commodity for Japanese copper, silver and sulfur.

Zhu Cixuan raised a silkworm when he was in elementary school in his previous life, but he didn't care much about it. In the end, three or four cocoons formed and eventually became silkworm moths. So it was a fool to ask him to guide silkworm raising. But this is not a problem, because although Zhu Cixuan didn't know, he had the right to attract enough silkworm households.

From Huzhou to Suzhou, every village has silkworm farmers who have been raising silkworms for more than eight years and have been recruited to Hangzhou. Without these main silkworms, the family may not be able to harvest enough silkworms this year, so the government gave a family a "buyout fee" of ten taels of silver. Even hard work in previous years may not be able to earn so much.

If the amount of money was given, there were naturally some people who fought for the poor. However, they did not dare to make false claims in terms of basic conditions, for fear that they would be seen through in the past and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Of course, those who are more brave would dare to force their relatives who are three to five years old, as they are not novice anyway.

This is the case with the wife of the Sun family. She is twenty-three and four years old this year, and she is the mother of three children. Because my cousin married the county Dianshi as a concubine, she got this beautiful family and got a "buyout fee" of four taels of silver. She has a mother-in-law at home, and she is also an expert in raising silkworms, so the family still has to raise silkworms this year, and the buyout fee is in vain.

On March, the wife of the Sun family gathered with the sisters from the nearby village to the county, boarded a four-wheeled flat car, then took the boat, and arrived outside Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang three days later.

Seeing the big cart running towards the countryside without even entering the city, the little wives were so scared that they thought they had been sold.

Before they could panic, a villa with white walls and black tiles appeared in front of them. Judging from the white painted on the wall, it was obvious that the newly built not long.

There are large bungalows in this villa, and I don’t know how many people will live there. The building is exquisite. Not only are the doors and windows covered with gauze, but even the ground is covered with blue bricks instead of simple rammed earth. The wife of the Sun family walked into the village with the brigade, but saw that these bungalows were not built with wooden bricks. There were actually stones underneath, and I don’t know why they had such a huge amount of capital.

"These are all silkworm houses that will be used to raise silkworms in the future. Your dormitory is on the other end." The eunuch who came to pick up silkworms in the village was a sharp voice. He had raised silkworms for decades, of course, not really to get silk, but the common sense education of princes and princesses.

This time he was transferred to him, he was also the foreman. Even if his skills were not good, he finally knew the rules of the crown prince.

The residence of the silkworm women is very similar to a temporary barracks. The houses are not as exquisite as silkworm rooms, nor are there any treatments of paving stones or blue bricks. Eight people in a room, but only one meter long and wide, and four high and low beds, wooden boards and straw mats, and two thin quilts are their accommodation treatments.

Even with such a simple treatment, there is no way to be picky. The silkworms were already very happy to see that they were eating and living here. Moreover, there may not be such a new straw mat at home.

The next morning, the wife of the Sun family was awakened by a shrill whistle. Seeing that the sky was already dark outside, she couldn't help but blush: It must be because she was too tired on the road and she had overslept. It seemed that the host family was a little angry this time.

After the whistle, someone knocked on the door next to the room and shouted loudly: "Get up, get up, there will be no breakfast after six o'clock."

The man knocked on the door and left, and did not come in and hit someone with a big stick.

The wife of the Sun family asked carefully: "What is the time for six o'clock?"

No one of the silkworm women in the same room knew about it, but everyone knew the meaning of "breakfast". They were afraid of being a little missed, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and came out to find a place to eat.

Four or five square tables were placed in each dormitory area, with large pots of rice porridge, and buckets of dried radish and salted fish. Each silkworm woman who walked over was ordered by eunuchs and female officials to line up with small flags, and picked up tableware such as dining plates, wooden bowls, wooden plates, chopsticks and other tableware one by one. Then, passing the dining table in sequence, someone scooped a spoonful of porridge - a bowl, a plate of dried radish, a salted fish, and finally two cooking cakes.

This is already the standard of food during busy farming.

The wife of the Sun family made a meal, found a stairs to sit down and eat, while looking at the nearby situation. She soon saw a big Thai food behind the dining area. There was a disk on it, and there was a number from one to twelve in a grass code. There was a short needle that had just pointed to "five", which was mostly related to the "six points" mentioned by the foreman.

After dinner, the expected heavy work did not come. The wife of the Sun family gathered with other silkworm wives. A female official came forward and lined up them according to their height and formed a square array, so that they could remember their front, back, left and right positions. They issued bamboo cards one by one, with grass numbers on them, and then took them to the back of the village. (To be continued...)
