After the carriage re-crossed the border and entered the boundary of the main city of Quanzhou, Zheng He let out a suspicious sigh.

"What do you mean by a highway?"

"It's the old Kyodo." Zhu Wenqi explained with a smile.

Of course, the highway here cannot be the highway of later generations, and it is impossible to achieve it in terms of quality and hardness, but it is just a special name for a special road.

"In the past, the Beijing Road was built from Nanjing to the local area, and now the Beijing Road is still there, but according to the concept of the Beijing Road, a new special traffic route is rebuilt, such as from Nanjing to Guangzhou, and there are exit ramps to local governments along the way, and these places will basically set up this kind of toll station at the exit.

This suggestion was put forward by Xu Buji, the current head of the cabinet, and this guy has been in office since he took office, and he is too capable of tossing. ”

Zheng He was even more surprised in his heart.

What happened to the DPRK and China, and even such a fatal position as the head of the cabinet has changed.

Yang Shiqi has adhered to national politics for more than ten years, and his political roots are deep, not because of big reasons, the emperor will never change rashly.

"Of course, now that we can have these highways extending in all directions, we have to credit India and Japan for the credit."

Sitting in the car, Zhu Wenqi introduced Zheng He to the new Ming Dynasty, which is now turning the world upside down.

"In less than three years, India and Japan have sent in 5 million laborers just like us, and only then have they built a thoroughfare of more than 5,000 miles.

At present, Xu Buji is going to carry out some kind of education for all bills, and he is preparing to build 200 technical schools in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi for the people in their twenties and thirties to study.

It is said that in order to lay the foundation for comprehensive industrialization, a large number of skilled workers must be needed, such as the laborers of Japan and India, which can only belong to the pure coolie labor, and the dead batch is supplemented by a batch. ”

Zheng He secretly smacked his tongue, this game was too jumpy: "Listening to His Highness say this, this Xu Ge Lao is really a capable minister. ”

This reply made Zhu Wenqi suddenly sneer: "He? Capable ministers? is a power traitor, only two years in office, more than 30 members of the third grade or more were eliminated and replaced by him, from the ministry to the local government, he can change whoever he wants, even Xia Yuanji was squeezed out of the cabinet by him, and Wang Yusen, who came out of Changshu with him, was re-admitted as a university scholar.

In the current cabinet team, he Xu Buji is the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Gaochi is a scholar of the Wenhua Palace under the second assistant of the cabinet, and the other three scholars are Kwong Yihe, Zeng Wenji and Wang Yusen.

The five people, except for Uncle Gao Chi, all three wore a pair of pants with him, and the Wenhua Hall was about to become a hall of words that he was not afraid of. ”

Zheng He suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Changing the cabinet into a hall of words, even the original cabinet deputy Xia Yuanji can be squeezed away, no matter how you look at it, this operation is a bit like Hu Weiyong of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Today's is not Song Shenzong, this is comparable to or even more than Emperor Taizu Gao, who is nicknamed the living emperor of the ages in private, he is not afraid of being given death by a decree and ending up with a stinking for thousands of years?

"Didn't the emperor interfere?"

This question made Zhu Wenqi silent for a while, and then shook his head and sighed suspiciously.

"My father doesn't know what happened in the past two years, since Xu Buji served as the first assistant of the cabinet, my father doesn't seem to worry much about national politics, and he is left to keep fit all day.

More time every day is to run to the Academy of Sciences, it seems that those small objects are more pleasing to him, ah yes, say this, Uncle Zheng He, give you a good thing to leave for you if you go to sea in the future, maybe it can be useful. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Wenqi opened the drawer in the car, took out a round tube with a thick end and a thin end and handed it to Zheng He, and explained at the same time.

"This thing is a telescope, it's very magical, it can visualize objects in the far distance, as if you can reach out and touch it."

After listening to Zhu Wenqi's introduction, Zheng He was also curious, but when he tried it, he felt that his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't see anything really.

put it down and looked at Zhu Wenqi suspiciously: "Your Highness, I can't see anything." ”

"How big is it in our car?" Zhu Wenqi suddenly smiled, pulled the window panel, looked at the congested traffic, and pointed to a high-rise restaurant in the distance: "Look at what the name of that restaurant is." ”

Zheng He squinted and couldn't see clearly for a long time, so he picked up the telescope and put it in front of him, and was immediately surprised.

"Wanghai Restaurant."

These four big characters were right in front of him, which made Zheng He feel in a trance that was not a few feet away, but as soon as he put down the telescope, he couldn't see anything, and only four vague shadows remained.

"It's amazing."

The shock from the telescope made Zheng He even forget the words of Zhu Wenqi for a while, and forgot all about the emperor's lack of business.

"There are many strange things, but this is not the only one."

Zhu Wenqi was unhappy again: "Now what can make my father and the emperor happy, there is only this thing left, in addition to these, I added Zunjun in the middle of this year, and for my second emperor's grandson, my father also sent someone to send some supplements, and rewarded a zodiac accessory carved from sandalwood, alas." ”

Zheng He understood it, Zhu Wenqi was angry with his father in his heart, a dignified emperor, his son became a parent and had children, so he picked and searched for this little gadget, but he was too stingy.

Ignoring the government and indulging in craftsmanship, if it is said to be a faint king, everyone is a concubine and a concubine, and they are even more pampered to children.

When it came to Zhu Yunwen, none of the concubines were added, and they were still the ones when they first ascended the throne, and this woman couldn't help but lose her youthful vitality when she was middle-aged, and she didn't see the emperor move her heart again.

For future generations, it is still possible to save and stingy.

The treasury has no money spent, and its own internal funds are also very tight.

What a picture?

"His Royal Highness Wen Kui is like this?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Wenqi immediately laughed, but he was overjoyed.

"My eldest brother is not as good as me, it was the queen mother who chose the concubine for him, it is strange that the eldest brother can be willing, he has accepted two concubines in the past two years, and the children are now four, and he rushes home to serve his daughter-in-law and children every day as soon as he is busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

It's a shame that he is a scholar, and he is taller than me this year, but he is not as good as me, hahahaha. ”

Sure enough, the only way to amuse an unhappy person is to find someone close to him who is worse than him.

There is no contrast, where does the harm and superiority come from.

"Then Second Highness, don't you plan to take a few concubines?"

As soon as he heard Zheng He's words, Zhu Wenqi was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again.

"It's better to save it, I don't have time to accompany one in this family now, and adding a few more is also treating others poorly, not to mention, I don't have the energy now, I'm tired and weak."

When my father can raise his noble hand and let me sit in the office of the central ministry such as the Ministry of Rites like my eldest brother, I may be able to take a breath. ”

It's a shame that Zheng He is a eunuch, otherwise Zhu Wenqi would never have opened his mouth about this kind of thing.

"Speaking of which, I really brought some good things to Your Highness this time."

Zheng He smiled and said tentatively: "What did you bring from the Americas, good things, do you want to try it?" ”

The uncle and nephew, who were not ashamed, let out a tacit laugh between the men.
