Chapter Ninety-Four: The Forty-Eighth Year of Wanli 3

"What is this?" Looking at the documents in the study, Zhu Youxiao was suddenly stunned, a graphic material in his hand, all of which were drawn were a model of a Galen ship, and a lot of sizes and technical conditions were marked next to it.

He suddenly remembered that when the shipyard was first built, he found a few shipbuilders from the south and dismantled the Galen ship to check the technology, and then he forgot about them because the shipyard was burned.

"I wonder what happened to them now?" Zhu Youxiao slapped his forehead, a little helpless, he didn't expect that there were still a few masters who had not arranged things, so he wasted a few years.

"Let's check it out tomorrow." It just so happened that when he also arrived for the inspection, he took the Yulin Army to practice in the field, and then went to Tianjin to have a look.

After setting tomorrow's itinerary, Zhu Youxiao began to look at the financial statements, this is his biggest harvest in recent years, whether it is the three bestsellers of the Tiangong workshop or the low-priced salt of the salt farm, all of which have brought him a huge amount of wealth, Zhu Youxiao only knows that he has a lot of money, but to what extent, he does not have a clear concept, and now it is time to sort it out.

Turning down the pages of account details, the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth became bigger and bigger, he had a hunch that there would be a lot, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

Wang Chengen's gold and silver inventory...... Seventeen million taels!

This is simply a huge number, so big that Zhu Youxing himself can't believe it. But think about it, it's almost the same, the whole capital, nearly a million people, eat all his salt, and in five years, there are more than 10 million taels of profits, and the two princes who eat some soup behind him have made a lot of money, not to mention him.

Coupled with a Tiangong workshop whose earning power is no worse than that of the salt field, he has almost no expenditure except for raising nine hundred forest troops and building a shipyard, so it is not surprising that he has these huge deposits. If he hadn't given Wanli protection money every month, he believed that his savings would have been even more

"Haha, it seems that the idea in my heart will definitely come true when I ascend the throne." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help grinning, and when he saw the benefits of the salt pan for the first time, a crazy idea popped up in his heart, and this idea was so crazy that he thought he was crazy.

But now seeing such a huge amount of savings, he seems to feel that his crazy idea seems to be able to be realized when he ascends the throne.

"Just drive me crazy!" Thinking that when he ascended the throne, after announcing the news, all the subjects in the world were surprised and crazy, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao went to the Qianqing Palace to visit Wanli in the morning and served the decoction in person.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to take the Yulin Army out for training." While feeding the medicine, Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Go, go." Lying on the bed, Wanli nodded weakly. He was not surprised by this request, and Zhu Youxiao had to make such a request several times a year. Like the previous times, Wanli did not hesitate to take it. It's just that unlike the previous times, Wanli gave a few more words.

"When you go out, remember to come back, there are some things that you should not miss." Wanli said in a faint tone, and there seemed to be some meaning in those words. Looking at the other party's cloudy eyes, Zhu Youxiao was surprised.

Could it be that Wanli felt something?

"The grandson is provincial, the grandson's home is here, so naturally he wants to come back." Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile. Then he accompanied Wanli to say goodbye, and said hello to Zhu Changluo, who came to serve next to him, and then he went out of the palace.

"The end of Wanli is approaching." Zhu Youxiao was a little embarrassed for a while.

The eyes are dim, mentally exhausted, and the whole body is full of twilight, although Wanli is old, but the spirit is very good, although the eyes are worried, but there is still a fine light from time to time. After confirming Wanli's situation, Zhu Youxiao was relieved, it was impossible for the other party to pay attention to him in such a state, and he could act according to the plan.

At noon, Zhu Youxiao went to the Tiangong workshop to inspect it, the workshop has not changed, everything is in order, brewing and distilling, mixing perfumes, firing glass, everything is going on in an orderly manner. The wooden turbines across the river also run well, and the huge power is transmitted to the wood processing plant, driving circular saws and other woodworking tools, constantly cutting and planing and milling various specifications of wood planks, and then assembling them into four-wheeled carriages.

Nowadays, the four-wheeled carriage is still quite popular in the capital, used for the transportation of goods or carrying personnel in the city, but it is not very easy to use except for Beijing City, the road is not allowed, not everywhere is the same as Beijing City, the bluestone paving of a water, smooth and neat.

After that, there is the cement factory, which is open every day, but the output is very small, but a certain amount of output is maintained in the warehouse, and the craftsmen are trained in their craft. Cement is one of Zhu Youxiao's secret weapons, and he definitely won't leak it out so early. The process of cement is not complicated, the materials are also very simple, with the talent of the Chinese cottage, he wants to sell, within half a year, imitations will appear.

After inspecting the Tian Workshop at noon, Zhu Youxiao set off for Tianjin with Yu Linjun. All but the last trainees who are being trained are dispatched. More than 800 people, dozens of four-wheeled carriages, and a large group of mighty people walked on the bustling and lively streets of the capital, attracting onlookers. Although this team has often been seen dispatched in recent years, the people are still very unfamiliar with them and don't know anything about them.

As the ruler of the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the common people in the capital have a kind of pride, and they also like to talk about politics, from the cabinet to the guards and the army, they are all talking about it. However, in front of the Yulin Army, they hit a wall, no one knew the details of this unit, and no one even knew who the commander of this unit that occasionally came out to swagger into the city was.

Of course, what they don't know is only the small people at the bottom, but those court bigwigs are clear.

At noon, as soon as the Yulin army left the imperial city, it didn't go far away, it caused a commotion, in addition to the people who stopped to watch because of curiosity, there were some people who rushed to tell each other, attracting some other people.

"Quick, auntie, go and call your family in charge, look at that, isn't that your third boy?" Some of the simplely dressed people seemed to be a little different, they seemed to know some people in the Yulin Army, and their faces showed obvious joy.

"It's really, that's my little third boy, who has grown so tall!" I thought that after the woman looked closely, there were tears in her eyes. After looking at it for a while, she covered her mouth with her hand, whimpered, and ran to the side, apparently to call the head of the house to come and see.

On the restaurants on both sides of Chaoyangmen Street, countless pairs of eyes were watching this team, these people were either observing the strength of the Yulin Army, or staring closely at the tall figure walking at the front, whose whole body was wrapped in stainless steel armor. Wearing a helmet, he makes people can't see his face clearly, but his swaggering spirit makes people can't help but admire.

He was the most conspicuous in the long dragon-like ranks, more conspicuous than the cavalry that marched like a wall in front of him.

People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, and momentum is like rainbows.

"What an elite team of family members!" In one of the restaurants, after someone who knows how to read it, he couldn't help but change color. Looking at his Confucian clothes, he has a trace of capable aura on his body, and he obviously has military experience.

"He was only sixteen after the New Year, so he was so elite, I really don't know how he trained it." A scribe next to him folded his fan and praised loudly. The phalanx of Yulin sergeants walking below, horizontal and vertical, like a chessboard, is shocking just by looking at it.

There is such a regular team in the world!

"That's just it, the formation of the Han generals in the palace is not bad, and it is even better than them, but so what, it's just a show." Another person opened his mouth to express his opinion, but his words were full of disdain, obviously disapproving of Zhu Youxiao's team.

"I heard that he worked hard in the palace day and night for his eight hundred people, all of them walked around, didn't practice equipment, didn't fight each other, what's the use of just standing, no matter how neat he stands, can he kill people?" This person continued to criticize Zhu Youxiao for being worthless.

"That's not the case, after Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao were famous generals, the soldiers they trained still had combat effectiveness, but unfortunately this doll didn't know what rumors she heard, so she didn't use them at all, but instead used the tricks practiced by the Han generals." Another person spoke up, looking at his appearance, he seemed to know Zhu Youxiao quite well.

"No matter what, you should plan as soon as possible, such 800 sergeants will always be a trouble." Among this group of people, the old man sitting on the main seat slowly spoke, if anyone who knew him saw it, he would definitely be surprised, this was the former first assistant Ye Xianggao, who had long been idle at home.

After hearing this, the others didn't speak again, but their eyes flickered, obviously thinking about something secretly, and Ye Xianggao's words made them think about it.

Similar scenes keep happening on Chaoyangmen Street, and these people watching are either surprised, admired, or disdainful, with all kinds of expressions. But in the end, they all turned into curiosity, staring intently at the person at the front of the phalanx. Everyone was dressed in leather armor, but he was the only one covered in iron.

Walking at the front of the team, Zhu Youxiao was silent. His sharp facial features told him that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this moment, looking at him without blinking.

However, in this case, Zhu Youxiao did not react at all, he had long been accustomed to such a situation, in the past few years, as long as he pulled the Yulin Army out for training, it would appear, the difference was only a little. The eyes that contained all kinds of meanings and emotions could no longer shake him.

Like the previous times, the whole team silently crossed the street, walked outside the Chaoyang Gate, and stepped on the magical cement road. The entire Yulin Army, except for the sound of neat rumbling footsteps and the occasional neighing of horses, there was no other sound, as if all the people walking were dead.

This performance made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied, five years of uninterrupted training, so that discipline has long been integrated into their bodies, without permission, no one will make superfluous sounds and make superfluous movements. And after some delicate people noticed this, their hearts were shocked again, and even a cold air surged from the soles of their feet to the parkway above their heads.

What kind of team is this!
