Chang Yuchun nodded and said: "As it should be, it is best to remove the lord and exile him to the border pass, so that he can have a good memory." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and didn't say anything, the specific handling method does not need to be discussed with Chang Yuchun, this is the right of the monarch, and there is no need for others to interfere.

Zhu Biao still pities Lan Yu's talent, this person is good at fighting under harsh conditions, this is a rare ability, Zhu Biao will also need him in the future, after all, the places outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty are places with poor natural conditions, and such generals are needed to lead the army to overcome difficulties.

After that, Zhu Biao talked to Chang Yuchun about the arrangements for him, and Chang Yuchun's attitude has always made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied, so he planned to let Chang Yuchun go to the north to guard.

Mongolia is a threat sooner or later, more than ten years and four or five years, Mongolia will still raise troops, and now both sides are in the stage of recuperation, especially the Ming Dynasty, the country is in ruins, where do you have the energy to go to the steppe to go around in circles with them, what can you do if people don't fight with you.

So now we can only win over a wave and suppress a wave, divide them, so that Mongolia cannot work together, so that their threat will be much smaller, and when the Ming Dynasty is ready, they will completely take over the grassland.

Chang Yuchun is famous all over the world, and all the Mongolian tribes are also aware of his ability, if he goes to the north to guard, Mongolia will be much more stable, and the differentiation of Quanxu and them will be smoother, and the generals have this prestige except Xu Da is him.

Xu Da is now in charge of military affairs all over the country, and it is impossible for him to leave the capital, so he needs to go out of the mountain again, Chang Yuchun is naturally happy, and he is not happy in the house every day, but in order to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang, he has to do it.

The general died in a hundred battles, Chang Yuchun didn't want to leave the army for a day, and now that the family affairs are complete, Zhu Yuanzhang has also regained trust in him, and he can finally return to military power.

Zhu Biao congratulated him with a smile, in fact, Chang Yuchun was able to regain military power on another side of the reason that Chang Mao was able to regain military power, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Chang Mao was average, and it was destined that the Chang family would still rely on Zhu Biao's favor in the future, and the military power would be easy to receive in the future.

Unlike Xu Da's son Xu Yungong, who is a proper marshal, such a person must be suppressed first, and then let Zhu Biao be kind to let him hold a high position, otherwise it will be difficult to accept the military power after he directly takes over Xu Da's position.

To do things for the monarch, you must be far-sighted, and everything in front of you needs to serve the future, otherwise there will be no place to regret when the time comes.

However, Zhu Biao's purpose in talking about this matter is to hope that Chang Yuchun can preside over the restoration work in the north, the north is the place where the dragon veins gather, since ancient times, there are many important military towns in the north, and its resources are also very rich, whether it is from the strategic or practical point of view, the development of the north is necessary.

The most important thing is transportation, combing the canal to build official roads, and preparing for the future, all of which require the mobilization of large-scale labor, and it is enough for Chang Yuchun to do this well in the past few years.

Chang Yuchun nodded after hearing this, he naturally knew the significance of waterway transportation, as long as it was sorted out, whether it was transporting food or soldiers in the future, it would be of great benefit to the country to connect the north and the south.

It's just that this is not just talking, Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Biao and said: "I'm afraid the consumption of this is not as high as fighting two big wars, can the imperial court come up with so many resources now?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Naturally, you can't take it, so you can only wait until you take the land of Bashu before you plan it, but the survey and planning of the canal and waterway should be done from now on, and the province will be in a hurry when the time comes, and the army can also transport some materials in their spare time." ”

Chang Yuchun nodded, and Zhu Biao began to talk to him in detail about the key river to be combed.

One of the most critical is the Grand Canal, which was excavated in the Spring and Autumn Period, completed in the Sui Dynasty, prospered in the Tang and Song dynasties, and taken from the Yuan Dynasty.

From Yuhang in the south, to Shuntianfu in the north, passing through the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei, and connecting the five major water systems of Haihe, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River.

By the time Zhu Biao paid attention to it, it was already somewhat deserted, and natural and man-made disasters continued at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and its imperial court had no spare strength to deal with it, resulting in the current river blockage.

The canal was born for the real purpose of Cao Yun, which was the life support and power supply system of the feudal dynasty to maintain the life continuation of the dynasty.

This canal has gone through a thousand years, and was built in the Spring and Autumn Period to achieve military purposes, such as the direct purpose of Wu Wangfu to send people to dig a ditch to transport troops to the north of the Qi country.

By the time Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty arrived, the purpose of the Sui Emperor Yang Guang was to connect the north and the south, and his motive had gone beyond the purpose of serving military operations, because at this time the world had been unified, and the canal was also conducive to economic and political purposes.

From the perspective of the Grand Canal alone, Zhu Biao admires and thanks Yang Guang, the predecessors planted trees and the later generations enjoyed the shade, Yang Guang ruined his own Sui Dynasty, but benefited all the dynasties in later generations.

In the Yuan Dynasty, in order to connect the north and the south, no longer detour to Luoyang, it was necessary to dig a canal to transport grain from the south to the north. To this end, three sections of the river were dug successively, and the horizontal canal of the Sui Dynasty with Luoyang as the center was built into a longitudinal Grand Canal with Dadu as the center and went south to Hangzhou.

And now, Zhu Biao is thinking more, he wants to make full use of the canal to transport, based on the canal, to establish a huge and complex transport system, and continuously transport the material resources from all over the country to the location of the capital.

At present, it must be mainly for military purposes, transporting military materials to suppress the world's sweep of disobedience, and the orders of the imperial court can also be quickly conveyed.

After the country's economy recovers to a certain level, the grain, silk, tea, sugar, bamboo, wood, lacquer, ceramics and so on in the south continue to be transported to the north, and the pine, leather goods, coal, and miscellaneous goods in the north also continue to go south from the canal.

It is because of the grand goal that Zhu Biao asked Chang Yuchun to spend two or three years planning and preparation, and of course he will send people from the Ministry of Industry to assist.

Although the canal is blocked in some places, there are still many sections that have not been affected, and such a big interest naturally attracts many families, combing the canal is a good thing for the country, and it is actually not bad for them, but there are always those who are blind.

The role of Chang Yuchun is revealed, in the early years, the name of Chang 100,000 killings was not blown out, Chang Yuchun does not need to give anyone face now, he cares more about the interests of the Zhu family than anyone else, after all, it is very likely that it will be his grandson's family business in the future.

It's a matter of interests, and it's not so easy to use people's feelings, and it's not a good way to fight and kill, killing is a means, and Zhu Biao won't be soft when needed.

Zhu Biao carefully explained the matter to Chang Yuchun in two hours, so as to ensure that Chang Yuchun could be dealt with clearly, and the Mongolian Ministry would not be chaotic in recent years, so Chang Yuchun had time.
