Zhu Yuanzhang is tired, Queen Ma will naturally not be easy, according to the rules, all women who have been awarded by the imperial court must also enter Kunning Palace to celebrate the queen's mother, and the rules are not so cumbersome.

It stands to reason that the civil and military officials will go to the Chengqian Hall to congratulate the crown prince, and the next day they will enter the palace to congratulate the pro-dynasty in Beijing, and then it is the time for the officials to move around each other.

However, Zhu Biao was a lot more relaxed when he was not there, at most he was letting his wife go to the East Palace, congratulating the crown prince and princess on behalf of his whole family, and showing his loyalty.

The New Year is like this in the system, different from ordinary people, with a very heavy political meaning, but fortunately, he can rest for a few days in the future, and Zhu Biao is much more relaxed, basically they are teenagers, and they eat and drink together every day.

Zhu Biao is also close to most of them, in a blink of an eye to the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Hongwu, on the evening of this day, Zhu Biao stood by the window of a restaurant with a bowl of Lantern Festival, looking at the lights below, men, women and children are watching the lanterns, lively and extraordinary, and the performance of dragon dance on stilts.

It's a pity that this is a small place in the end, and only this short street is lively, the capital should be more shocked at this time, the Fengyang prefect on the side said: "Fengyang is not as good as the capital, but it also has its own traditions, swinging, picking lanterns, and throwing torches, these three things are not in the capital." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, he heard his father say when he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't afford to swing and pick up lanterns, and he didn't have the opportunity to enter the city, the most lively thing in the village was to pick up the torch, and the children in the village would consciously collect and prepare some waste brooms and brushes early to prepare for the Lantern Festival.

However, Zhu Biao was not interested in playing anymore, and directly ordered: "It's spring soon, gather all the officials, and start preparing for spring ploughing." ”

The prefect of Fengyang bowed down to promise, Zhu Biao ate the Lantern Festival in the bowl and turned around and went back to the house, and the next morning Zhu Biao re-let the subordinates who had gained weight several times disperse to various parts of Fengyang Mansion to organize the people to distribute work in a unified manner.

After a period of time, Fengyang Mansion was in full swing again, and the people were also very anxious, after all, they were very panicked when they had no food in their hands, for fear that one day the court would say that it would not send food.

The three brothers of the Zhu family who spent the New Year in Beijing also came back, as Zhu Biao expected, the second Zhu Rong and the daughter of Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo, made a marriage contract, the third Zhu Di and the daughter of Yongping Hou Xie Cheng made a marriage contract, and the fourth child is still the daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who has been set a long time ago, and the Ministry of Rites has begun to prepare.

Zhu Biao congratulated them a few words and threw them back below, and after the middle of February, the spring ploughing officially began, and the rice seed was Zhancheng rice, also called early rice.

Champa rice is a high-yielding, early-maturing, drought-tolerant rice variety produced in the Indochina Peninsula, which was introduced to China during the Northern Song Dynasty and quickly spread in the Jiangnan region.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was first introduced to the Fujian region of China. According to ancient Chinese records, Champa rice has many characteristics. One is "drought tolerance". The second is strong adaptability, "born regardless of location". Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.

Because its excellent characteristics were promoted on a large scale in the Song Dynasty, and now it is also the best choice, especially the short growth period, which is simply a life-saving straw, and it is about to integrate military strength to recover Bashu, and the imperial court is short of materials, so the relocation must be self-sufficient as soon as possible.

Needless to say, Zhu Biao also personally supervised it, and the concerted efforts of the government and the people were naturally very smooth, and after planting all the cultivated land, they began to open up wasteland.

Zhu Biao also received news from the imperial court at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Tang and General Ren Zhengxi to lead the left deputy general, Jiangxia Marquis Zhou Dexing, and the right deputy general, Deqing Marquis Liao Yongzhong and others to lead the Jingwei and Jingxiangshui divisions from Qutang Gorge to Chongqing and attack Badi.

Gu Shi, the deputy general of the former general and the Marquis of Yingchuan, led Gu Shi and others to lead the infantry and cavalry of Henan and Shaanxi from Qin and Long to Chengdu, Sichuan, and attacked Shu.

The emperor's order has been given, the army began to gather to sharpen the knife Huo Huo to Bashu, Zhu Biao is not worried about this, Ming Xia has been leaking on all sides, the first two years there have been ministers secretly attached to the Ming Dynasty, and now the official army is afraid that the number of people who will fall in the wind is countless.

Tang He will also return to the political center of the Ming Dynasty with this, which is also Zhu Yuanzhang's preferential treatment of the old brothers, Zhu Biao's heart is also moved at this time, and the cultivation matter is over, he can't waste time here anymore.

He is going to take a trip to the coast according to the plan, and then return to Beijing to officially start the administration, otherwise there will be no time to come out again if the order is adjusted, once the imperial court affairs are taken over, it can be easily loosened, and Zhu Yuanzhang also intends to let Zhu Biao see more of the situation in various places.

After waiting for another three days, the three younger brothers, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Xu Yungong and others were called back, and the finishing work of the relocation was handed over to Zhu Zhang, the leader of Guo Chong, Zhang Fan to assist, I believe they can handle it well, not to mention that there is the Fengyang prefect watching.

Then Zhu Biao sent a report to the imperial court, informing the current situation of Fengyang Mansion, and then led Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Fu Zhong and others to set off towards Huai'an Mansion, and at the same time took away 10,000 elite guards.

Zhu Biao has never been to the beach in his life, but he knows how important the sea is, and now the Ming Dynasty is not in the Yongle period, and there is no condition to explore the outside world in the early days of the founding of the country, but he should also make some preparations in advance.

Fengyang is not far from Huai'an Mansion, and a few days later he arrived at the place, the new prefect of Huai'an is Li Shanchang's younger brother Li Cunyi, who went out of the city fifty miles to welcome the prince's arrival, Zhu Biao also gave him a few words of greeting with face, and finally determined that this person was talented.

It is estimated that being able to become the prefect of Huai'an is also due to his brother's retirement, Zhu Yuanzhang intends to appease, and I heard that his eldest son has been engaged to Hu Weiyong's woman, and the background is very hard.

After being polite all the way, Zhu Biao did not enter the city, politely refused the banquet prepared by the Huai'an officials, and rushed directly to the camp of the sailor.

The sailor camp was not built on the seaside, but it was not far away, and you could smell the unique smell of the seaside, there were many soldiers in the camp who were practicing, Zhu Biao looked around with his hands on his back, and asked Jinghaihou on the side: "How are the Japanese invaders recently?" ”

Wu Zhen bowed down and replied: "It's still the same, from Shandong in the north to Fujian in the south, looting in various coastal areas, Tang Shuai led us to exterminate several large Japanese organizations, and the remaining small groups of Japanese invaders did not collide with us, and fled at the first touch, which was very annoying." ”

Zhu Biao also frowned helplessly, this is very uncomfortable, in the end, the Japanese are not a whole, they are independent, and it will not affect too much if they fight a few, and it is unrealistic to want to annihilate them in one fell swoop, after all, they are too widely dispersed.

What's more, they generally will not be stationed on the islands around the Ming Dynasty, and after looting, they will either flee to the Korean waters or return directly to Japan, which will not give you a chance to encircle and annihilate at all.
