Zhu Biao persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang a few words, and at this time, Queen Ma also came back with her daughter Zhu Jing, and the family had a good meal, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his wife and children in a much better mood.

Zhu Biao's sister Zhu Jing is also a lot older, almost five years old this year, looking at her brother is a little scared, fortunately Zhu Biao took out a few bright gems to coax his sister to let him hug for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gem in his daughter's hand and said, "It seems that you didn't go out in vain, what good things did you get?" ”

Zhu Biaole put down his sister and said: "There are still a lot of good things in the capital, in addition to the property of the Northern Yuan royal family, those princes and nobles have also given me a lot of gifts, I have asked Quan Xu to send it into the inner money, presumably my father will be able to receive the list later." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and was not polite, as early as when he was in King Wu's mansion, Zhu Biao could go directly to Zhu Yuanzhang's private warehouse to move things, and now it is the same, their father and son never care about these.

Zhu Biao also felt sorry for his father, his internal money was basically empty, there was still something before the founding of the country, but since he began to restore people's livelihood, Zhu Yuanzhang's little family background has long been put in.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "That dagger was also put in?" ”

Zhu Biao glanced at his father helplessly and said, "That is the most precious trophy of Erchen, and it is left in the East Palace." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "If we can still rob you, go and let someone get it, and we will return you after a few days." ”

Zhu Biao had no choice but to let Liu Jin take it, and Queen Ma took the gem from her daughter's hand on the side: "She is still so young, what if she swallows it." ”

Zhu Jing's little group's face was deflated, and she was about to cry when she opened her mouth, Queen Ma picked up her daughter and said a few words in her ear, and Zhu Jing nodded happily again.

Zhu Biao glanced at his sister sympathetically, he knew how good his mother was at coaxing children.

After a while, Liu Jin walked in with a dagger in both hands, and Zhu Biao stepped forward to pick up the dagger from Liu Jin's hand, and then handed it over to Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Queen Ma naturally knew about the dagger, and her husband had been talking about it for several days, so she picked up her daughter and went out to play.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pulled out his dagger, as if he had seen the scene of the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the emperor cutting themselves, and finally praised: "Yes, very decent!" ”

In the end, Zhu Biao couldn't return to the East Palace with the dagger, and he didn't want to come back recently.

After Zhu Biao returned to the palace, he slept and went to the celebration banquet in the evening, but Zhu Biao had changed from the heroic Tiance general back to the noble crown prince.

Zhu Biao only had a drink with Li Wenzhong, and ignored Lan Yu and the others, and the princes and nobles of Mongolia also visited Zhu Yuanzhang and offered their loyalty.

As for their specific fiefs and titles, they will all be discussed by the dynasty tomorrow morning, and these will be left to Li Shanchang and others to consider.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao just showed their faces and went back, and no one dared to celebrate where the two of them were.

After returning to the East Palace, I was thinking about who to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, those people have lived enough old men, and now they just want to die in the name of loyalty, to put it bluntly, they are touching the porcelain Daming, killing them will fulfill them, and they will be dumbfounded if they are directly thrown on the grassland to guard the tomb of the Northern Yuan Emperor and bury them.

Liu Bowen is definitely inappropriate, after all, he also served in the Yuan Court, Li Shanchang is okay, but Zhu Biao is not easy to follow the prime minister, and it is even more impossible to send a letter.

At this moment, Liu Jin came to report: "Master, Li Qi, the prince of Changsha, came to visit"

Zhu Biao laughed, this is really a coincidence, Li Qi is nothing more than here to apologize, but he came at the right time.

Xuan Li Qi came in, only to see him kneel down in front of Zhu Biao when he walked to the center of the hall, respectfully put his head on the ground and said: "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Qianqiu!" ”

Zhu Biao sat on the chair and looked at it for a while and said, "Li Qi, what are you doing?" ”

Li Qi didn't look up: "The minister is here to ask His Highness for his guilt, and the minister has angered His Highness without a form, and he will die!" ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's just that you are young and frivolous, if you can know your mistakes, this palace will no longer say anything, you should take this as a warning, and remember the difference between monarchs and ministers." ”

Li Qi kowtowed again before raising his head, his eyes were clear, and his eyes were full of awe for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao doesn't care what he thinks, if there is really awe, there will be a long run, and without awe, sooner or later it will be a dead end.

Zhu Biao directly asked Li Qi to convey his opinion to Li Shanchang, and after Li Qi wrote it down carefully, he bowed down and retired.

Zhu Biao knew that Li Shanchang could handle this matter, so he didn't bother to care, and in the next few days, Zhu Biao would go to see his mother and sister every day, or tease Nuan Yu in the East Palace.

In his spare time, Zhu Biao began to write a chapter, he had promised to let some soldiers return home to farm, strengthen the productivity, after all, after many years of forced conscription, the people are in short supply, but there are many widows.

The current army of the Ming Dynasty is now a little too bloated, and it costs a huge amount of resources to support the army, and once the Northern Yuan is destroyed, there will be no major wars in recent years, and it would be good for the remnants of the Northern Yuan in the rest of the country to protect themselves.

If these young people can return home to farm, marry a wife and have children, the Ming Dynasty will usher in population growth in a few years, which is the foundation of everything.

Moreover, after disbanding most of the soldiers who had no combat effectiveness, the Ming Dynasty had the resources to implement the elite soldier system.

After Zhu Biao led the army this time, he felt that unless he was crushed by the absolute number of troops, the combat effectiveness of the elite troops was really very different from that of normal troops.

Of course, after the dismissal of a number of soldiers, it is necessary to proceed to improve the remuneration of the soldiers, and to set up ideological education in the army, to instill in them the concept of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, to train them for war, to proceed from actual combat, to conduct targeted training, to enforce strict discipline, and to distinguish rewards and punishments.

The most important thing is to improve the social status of the soldiers, now the conscription is still by forced conscription, being selected is the same as being pressed to kill the head, after the Song Dynasty, then only bastards and thieves and other lowly people will go to the army, not just commit a crime and be confiscated.

This is actually very simple, just like modern times, just give some treatment, the children of the family will be given tax exemptions and exemptions when they join the army, and the high-headed horses with beautiful scenery will pick them up, and their military salaries will be clearly handed over to them.

Anyway, now the Ming Dynasty has land, but there is a lack of people to cultivate, and he is not afraid to give them some. If you find a few people in each village to play it, you will know that it is delicious, and naturally some people will be willing to become soldiers.

Regarding the Ministry of Industry, we should also increase some investment in the research and development of firearms, and advanced weapons are also the focus, so the military system of the Ming Dynasty is much better, and there will be no need to worry about it in a few decades.
