Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai, the chief eunuch, walked quickly into the hall, alarming Zhu Yuanzhang who was leaning on the desk to review the memorial.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is outside seeking an audience."

Pang Yuhai bowed and said respectfully.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, answered casually, and then continued to look at the memorial in front of him, concentrating on it.

Soon, Prince Zhu Biao slowly walked into the hall accompanied by Pang Yuhai.

"My son, please see your father!"

Zhu Biao walked closer and said respectfully while saluting, with a hint of excitement between his brows.

"Well, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly while looking at the memorial without raising his head.

"To inform my father, I am here today to offer you a good plan."

Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said seriously.

"Oh? What's a good idea? Let me tell you."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile.

"I know that my father has been worried about the difficulty in collecting military rations caused by famines in various places. I happen to have a good idea here that may be able to help my father."

Zhu Biao answered slowly.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally slowly raised his head and shifted his attention from the memorial to Zhu Biao.

"Tell the important point."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, raised his hand and said.

Speaking of the collection of military rations, the collection of military pay years ago was also thanks to Hu Fei.

"Tuntian!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with some excitement.

"Tuntian?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked hesitantly.

To be honest, he has never thought of this method, but it may not be easy to implement, and it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time.

"Yes, the farming that I mentioned is not just for the people, but also for the military and the merchants. Let the people, the army, and the merchants work together to implement it, which can solve the problem of land loss caused by famine and war in many places in the Ming Dynasty.

"

"Only by fundamentally solving the problem can we make the people rich. Once the people are rich, my father will no longer have to reduce or reduce taxes for people everywhere all year round, and the national treasury will be full. Do more with one stone!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said loudly.

"Three-party farming? How to implement it specifically?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested, stood up, walked to Zhu Biao, and asked curiously.

"My father can use the method that Hu Fei once proposed to my father during the New Year's Day to engage in immigration, increase the labor force in sparsely populated areas, and open up fields."

"You can also organize people in various places to build water conservancy projects and vigorously promote the planting of mulberry, hemp, cotton and other cash crops and fruit crops. At the same time, you can also enrich the people, suppress the powerful, liberate slaves, and send people to measure the land across the country and conduct household registration checks.

Master people’s livelihood and understand people’s livelihood.”

"In peacetime, military camps can also be established in various places, allowing soldiers to work in the fields, and the soldiers and civilians can live together. Military camps can be managed by the garrison, and the government provides cattle and farm tools."

"The border troops will be divided into three parts to defend the city and seven parts to farm the fields. The inland army will be divided into two parts to defend the city and eight parts to farm the fields. By then, the army will basically be self-sufficient in military supplies."

"In addition to civilian villages and military villages, there are also merchant villages. Merchants can hire people to work in the fields at the border and deliver grain on the spot. This method can save trafficking costs and make more profits. The implementation of merchant villages can also solve the problem of military grain.

problem, and at the same time, the frontier can be developed.”

Zhu Biao danced, became more and more excited as he talked, and his voice became louder and louder. He seemed to have seen the prosperity and prosperity under this method.

After hearing his son's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise. He recalled every sentence his son had just said and couldn't help but nod frequently.

"Okay, okay!"

"This method is feasible! It is indeed feasible! I never thought of the problem that has been bothering me. After listening to your words, I suddenly became enlightened!"

"Not bad!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang carefully considered what his son said, he said with unfinished emotion.

"My father is ridiculous. This method is not what I thought, but someone dedicated this good idea to me, and then I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to give advice to my father."

Zhu Biao smiled and said ashamedly.

"Oh? Who is this person?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking loudly.

"Hu Fei!"

Zhu Biao smiled and said without hesitation.

"Hu Fei?!"

"It's him again?!"

After hearing Zhu Biao's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help but asked in surprise.

"Yes, not long ago today, in order to congratulate him on his wedding to Chang Shu, I invited him to the East Palace. During this period, Hu Fei told him this good idea."

"In his words, if this method is implemented and production is restored in various places, within ten years at most, the land owned by our country in the Ming Dynasty will be up to four million hectares!"

Zhu Biao nodded and said impassionedly.

"Four million hectares?!"

After hearing his son's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Hu Fei's original words are indeed true."

Zhu Biao nodded and said.

I don't know why, but his first reaction to Hu Fei's words was to believe it without any reason.

"Isn't this a bit of a fantasy? Isn't it a bit too much of a dream?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said hesitantly.

"Father, I think that if this method can really be implemented, maybe four million hectares is not a foolish dream. Even if it cannot reach four million hectares within ten years, it will definitely solve the current situation of food shortage in various places. We might as well

try?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said affirmatively, with full confidence in his voice.

"It makes sense. If that's the case, let's follow the law!"

"I will trust him this time!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said in a deep voice, with a meaningful look on his face.

Hu Fei's ability was once again confirmed. Although it was not effective, it shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and his son.

"Since this method has solved my urgent need, Hu Fei will be rewarded. Biao'er, what do you think should be rewarded for him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a smile on his face and asked slowly.

"To be honest with my father, when Hu Fei told his son this method, he asked him to keep it a secret. He didn't want others to know that this method was his idea, saying that he just wanted to be an idle prince-in-law."

"It's just that I didn't want a talented person like him to be buried, so I didn't keep my promise and told my father the truth. Therefore, if my father wanted a reward, he would probably refuse it as before, but I

I already gave him a piece of gold silk armor as a wedding gift, so I didn't treat him badly."

"It's just that I feel that if a person like him cannot be used by the court, it will be a waste of resources."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said slowly.

"In this case, I will remember him one more time and reward him in the future. But you are right. A person with astonishing talents like him cannot be wasted."

"But if he wants to be an idler, I will never agree to it. The future is long, we will see."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said thoughtfully. At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

On the other side, Hu Fei, who returned to the Princess Mansion, still didn't know that Zhu Biao had already told Zhu Yuanzhang in his name about the good farming strategy he had told Zhu Biao, and the Zhu family and his son were racking their brains to force him to take the throne and serve the court.

Effectiveness.

...

The next few days were peaceful, and nothing major happened in the capital. February was coming to an end.

On this day, Hu Fei arrived at the Governor's Mansion early as usual, intending to go to Hong Bin Tower with a nod to his face.

But as soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion, he met a middle-aged man who looked suspicious.

"I've met Marquis Jiu'an."

When the middle-aged man saw Hu Fei coming so early, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he bowed respectfully and said hello.

Hu Fei nodded hesitantly, looking at the middle-aged man who left in a hurry after saluting, he couldn't help but frown, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart for no reason.

Perhaps it was because he had never been on duty seriously in the Governor's Mansion for a day, so he was a little unfamiliar with this middle-aged man, and it could even be said that he had no impression at all.

Although everyone in the Governor's Mansion knew him, he couldn't remember everyone.

"Teng Ziqian!"

At this moment, Hu Fei saw a familiar figure and immediately waved.

This familiar figure is none other than Teng Ziqian.

Hearing Hu Fei's words, Teng Ziqian, who had originally planned to avoid him secretly, frowned and reluctantly walked towards Hu Fei slowly...
