The war was almost over and the country was basically stable, Zhu Yuanzhang began to focus on developing economic development.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a farmer, so he had a unique feeling for agriculture.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty focused on commercial trade and provided great support to merchants. During the Yuan Dynasty's rule, the entire country valued business over agriculture.

This is directly related to the living habits of the nomadic peoples of the Yuan Dynasty itself.

After all, they used to live in the grassland. On the vast grassland that is only suitable for herding cattle and feeding sheep, the farming industry is too difficult for them to realize, and it is basically impossible. There is another more fatal problem that restricts the development of the grassland, that is, the grassland is not suitable for grazing all year round. When it snows heavily one day, the whole grassland is covered with white areas. Not to mention herding sheep, it will become a world of wolves.

Without cattle and sheep, this means they have lost the food they can survive.

What should I do if I have no food?

The Mongolians thought of a solution!

They found that the mainlanders were very interested in the sheepskin and weeds on their hands, and even spent a lot of money to buy them. At this time, they thought of a way: they could ask for something and exchange it for something.

The mainlanders said ok, how much is it, you can open a price.

The Mongolians smiled evilly. You should keep the shiny yellow gold, silver and fines, just keep the cubs by yourself. Men don’t want anything, just food!

If you want the wool in my hand, you can exchange your food for it.

The mainlanders laughed now, and they didn’t want gold or silver. These earthy leopards have never seen the world. How many food can be worth!

Don’t you want food? I’ll give it to you. There are so many more here!

I'm just worried that I can't sell it!

You are still rushing to ask for it.

What a group of mountain cannons who have never seen the world!

Since you are so interested in food, it will be easier to do it. First, the price will be raised, and then sell it to you at a high price. You guys, such a group of earthy leopards, will make everything back!

This has invisibly promoted the development of inland and Inner Mongolia.

This is the origin of the famous Silk Road in history.

But later the Song Dynasty discovered a problem. The Mongolians who were shed sheep and storing grain were rapidly expanded. If they were allowed to develop, they would inevitably pose a certain threat to their national security.

So they issued an edict prohibiting trade with the Mongolians.

They were afraid of feeding the bunch of wolf cubs and turning around and bullying themselves.

But they discovered it too late.

Because when they were thinking, the Mongolians had already started doing it!

After a long period of trading with the mainlanders, they have swallowed a lot of food, which is enough for mainlanders to drink!

At this time, the mainlanders did not know the meaning of the dynasty.

They didn't understand why the court suddenly refused to do it?

What's the meaning!

No business of getting rich can be done, and no business can be lived!

How should you live your life in the future?

It’s okay for the mainland to say that except for a few brave young men who sneaked on (in our current words, it is called smuggling), everyone else switched to other businesses.

But some Mongolians who did not stock up in time would not do it!

Originally, there was no need to be hungry in winter. It was a good thing. Did the Song Dynasty say that you would not let me do it, but I would not let me do it?

no!

If you don't let me do it, I will do it.

Aren’t you not selling me things? Well, since you can’t buy them, then snatch them!

Anyway, you guys who eat white flour and steamed buns can't beat us wolves who grow up eating meat and drinking milk all day long.

So, the Song Dynasty and the Mongols began to fight continuously.

Later, the Song Dynasty discovered that these grassland wolves were too fierce and could not beat them at all. The Song Dynasty, who was beaten to no avail, chose to give in.

I can't beat it, I can hide.

You are amazing, can't I not provoke you?

I sell it, can't I sell it to you?

At this time, the Mongolians smiled and told them again: No!

Sorry, we don't want it anymore!

If you sell it to us, we don’t want it anymore!

During the war, we discovered another better way to make money.

That's: grab it!

How good is it to grab, there is no effort to get rid of your mouth, and more importantly, there is no need to spend money.

How good is this deal, it’s a huge profit!

By the way, you can also report the shame of being blackmailed.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty finally found that he had messed with the wrong person. This group of people who used to be completely leopards in their eyes started to get angry and could not resist it.

What should I do at this time!

They finally chose to escape. I don’t want this place anymore. Isn’t it okay to give it to you for free?

Stop hitting, I'm really afraid of pain!

However, the Mongolian army, who had already fought easily, did not want to stop so simply. They began to eat the food of the Southern Song Dynasty, drink the water from the Southern Song Dynasty, and began to crazily clean up the weak sheep who only knew how to study hard!

The Southern Song Dynasty concessions gradually, and the country was lost bit by bit, and finally reached the verge of destruction of the country.

When it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang, all the policies of the Yuan Dynasty were not feasible.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated merchants, and that was penetrated into his bones.

The landlord Lao Cai, who bullied since childhood, was a real businessman.

Since he was a child, he has hated this bastard who doesn't have to do anything, but he can spend a lot of money and make a lot of food.

He couldn't figure out why his father worked hard for a year but could not afford to pay for a meal for a landlord. Why did he have a low life since he was a child? From the beginning of weaning, he had to insult and persecute this guy who looked like a bastard and a bastard like a mountain cannon and raise a cow pen and sheep. This guy with a fat face just needs to count money at home every day, but he doesn't need to do anything!

What's even more hateful is that even if my father died, he didn't even give him a piece of slope, and even beat him up and drove him out!

He can't figure it out.

Why can he drink and eat meat with high spirits? But his family worked hard every day but could only eat bran and vegetables, so he could not eat enough or wear warmth.

He hated this landlord.

Love the house and the U.S.

He hated the landlords.

In his opinion, the group of landlords is just a group of gangsters and rogues, and no good egg is broken.

And those guys dressed in businessmen are equally abominable!

Each of them has a big belly and a strong face with a strong expression. They can cheat wherever they go, but the money they earn in a day can easily match the money they have saved for ten years!

What's even more annoying is that the group of rich business bullies have to collude with officials and officials to form a bunch of bastards.

I was bullied by these bastards when I was a monk begging for food. The scene of total insults is still vivid in my mind. In the eyes of the rich businessman, I was just a dog at that time.

No!

Even a dog is worse than a dog.

Dogs still have dignity in their eyes, but they have nothing!

There is no money, no shame!

When he was a child, he didn't understand why these rich people could be so rich, and those landlords could keep gold and silver and money coming from their own way. These questions were buried deep in his heart, waiting for the day when the answer could be solved.

As he grew up and joined the army, he finally found the answer that had been confused by himself for a long time.

He understood that a group of wealthy businessmen and bullies could rule the sky by joining forces with a few bully officials.

And those hard-working farmers are their preferred targets for combating persecution.

Farmers are easy to bully and will not resist.

As long as they want to eat and survive, they have to continue to undergo more severe persecution.

Even if they really resist, no official would pay attention to them.

Officials would only use sticks to bombard them, and then they would be greeted with more severe persecution.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang, who hated these bastards from the bottom of his heart, decided to attack them.

If you want to raise your eyebrows, you must avenge your shame first!

He ordered officials at all levels across the country to start checking household registration and land, and all lands belonging to the landlord level were subject to high taxes, and at the same time, he also paid taxes for all unpaid land taxes during the war.
