In the past two months, everything in the Ming Dynasty has been going smoothly.

The battle situation in Liaodong stabilized, and the Mongolian side also finished fighting, and the ending was perfect.

The only person who is not happy may be Lin Dan Khan.

Inexplicably, two Mongol tribes grew up and played an alliance?

The Ming Dynasty still wants to build a city in Daning, and also trade with Horqin and Nekhalkha?

When he got the news, Lin Dan Khan was very, very angry. But he couldn't help it, after all, this belonged to their Mongolian civil war, and the Ming Dynasty did not send troops.

As for the trade between these tribes and the Ming Dynasty, the opening of border markets, and such things, the Ming and Mongolia have been doing it all along, but they are just stopping. After so many years, everyone is used to it. There's a trading city, and it's not a big deal.

As long as Lin Dan Khan sent someone to say, Da Ming pushed the matter on Korqin and Nekhalkha. Your own business, you solve it yourself.

On the Jurchen side, Huang Taiji Turtle shrunk up, licking his wounds, and waiting for the opportunity. It is said that he set his sights on the woods further north to get the people out there.

On the Liaodong side of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi was building a city. In addition to the original location of Dongningwei, a city will also be built on the edge of the Yalu River.

The name of the city is Dandong, and it is said that the emperor himself named it. No one knows where the name came from, but it's called Dandong anyway.

These things were all involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is said that they bought a large piece of land in Liaodong and seemed to be going to do a big job.

There are also countless businessmen who follow the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it, and the reason is very simple, the merchants who participate in the investment in Liaozhong can get a share of the trade in Daning, which is a huge market.

In addition, it is said that after the completion of Dandong, the Daming Society began to trade with Korea.

It is not an ordinary trade, but a trade with official cooperation, and it is said that there is still a lot of movement.

All of a sudden, countless people began to flock to Liaodong. In their words, go to Liaodong and get rich. Some people began to spread rumors, saying that Liaodong people are stupid and come quickly.

All of a sudden, Liaodong was very lively.

This matter was handed over to the people of the Internal Affairs Office to do, and Zhu Youxiao naturally did not participate. He just needs to control the situation further and not let it get out of control.

And many foreigners were sent to the capital. This is no longer a matter of whether foreigners want to come or not, and the officials in various places sent them to the capital as soon as they received the news.

With the special appearance of foreigners, it is impossible to hide in Daming. The local government was also annoyed with these foreigners, and if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court didn't let them arrest and kill them, these officials would have killed them a long time ago.

These foreigners are there to deceive people, do you know that they are stable and stable? What's the fuss?

After the news came from the imperial court, the officials happily arrested these foreigners and sent them to the capital.

After these foreigners arrived in the capital, they naturally wanted to appease. Zhu Youxiao also received and entertained them.

After fully expressing his sincerity, Zhu Youxiao handed over these foreigners to the Wei Dynasty and let them go to Xincheng.

There, Zhu Youxiao demarcated an area for foreigners to live in, helping to build a library, and helping Daming to carry out research and translate books.

The whole new city has been a lot more lively because of the arrival of these foreigners. After all, many people in the capital know about them. People like Xu Guangqi are still very happy, and occasionally go to communicate with them.

The entire new city actually created a false illusion of cultural prosperity.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao asked the Wei Dynasty to send people to keep an eye on it, and it was strictly forbidden for these foreigners to preach. The reason given is very simple, the new doctrine has not yet been formulated, your doctrine does not conform to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, nor does it conform to the public order and good customs of the Ming Dynasty, and you are not allowed to preach at present. When your new doctrine is finished, when will you preach again.

This matter has been officially supported by the Ming Dynasty, and many readers agree with this matter, and even Xu Guangqi can't say anything.

As for the missionaries, it would be nice not to quarrel.

They are not people of the same country in themselves, and if they all preach the original doctrine, it is nothing.

Now, as soon as the Ming Dynasty's regulations on the localization of doctrines came out, some of these foreigners felt that the original doctrine should not be changed, some felt that it should be changed, and some felt that those who changed it were betraying God.

These foreigners themselves quarreled, and someone sowed discord in the middle, the effect was even better.

Don't think they're all one denomination, because most of the time it's often the most naked hatred between peers.

After the situation of foreigners' infighting, Zhu Youxiao was very happy. He told people to watch them, and as long as they didn't fight, the others went with them.

All the conditions are getting better, and Zhu Youxiao is naturally relieved.

Zhu Youxiao came out of the palace, but he really couldn't come out.

Because something happened, the Yellow River burst!

When he heard the news of the Yellow River breaching, Zhu Youxiao could be said to be one of the first two big.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ming Dynasty has not stopped, and it can be said that there are a lot of messy things.

Not long after Zhu Youxiao left the capital, an earthquake occurred in Yangzhou, and the earthquake occurred in Su, Song, Feng, Si, Huai, Yang, Chuzhou and other places in Nanzhiying Tianfu on the same day, and Yangzhou dumped more than 380 battlements of city walls and more than 20 city shops.

Then, a few days later, there was an earthquake in Luanzhou, Beijing.

First of all, on the 13th, Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places were repeatedly shaken, and the city was damaged and the Lushe was not counted.

Later, the Luanzhou earthquake caused countless bad houses, and the ground cracked and gushed with foreign bodies.

Leting old shop village, the ground cracks and gushes black water, more than a foot high.

The sound of relocation was like a huge thunder, and countless houses were destroyed in the city walls.

Lu Long shook down many official and civilian houses.

The palace in the capital shook soundly, and the water of the copper jar shook.

Changli, Xin'an, Zhendingfu, Jizhou, Zunhua, Yutian, Hejianfu, Baodingfu, Tianjin Sanwei, and more than 20 prefectures and counties in Shandong Province, including Linyi, Deping, Haifeng, and Wuding Prefecture (now Huimin) in the east, were affected.

When Zhu Youxiao was busy doing things in Zhangjiakou, the imperial court was busy with disaster relief. After the disaster subsided a little, the war broke out on the Liaodong side.

This Zhu Youxiao had just returned to the capital to catch his breath, and the Yellow River broke in Xuzhou again.

This one thing after another made Zhu Youxiao anxious; The faces of the ministers in the court also became very ugly.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, and the expression on his face was ugly.

His gaze slowly swept over all the ministers standing below, and Zhu Youxiao said, "Is there a result of the specific situation?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to send Qin to send a trip." At this time, Xu Guangqi stood up and said directly: "The Yellow River bursts, check whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster." If someone takes the opportunity to annex land and exploit the people, it is better for the people to be the master. What's more, disaster relief is prone to malpractice, so it's good to send someone to take a look. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, feeling that what Xu Guangqi said made sense.

Things like the bursting of the Yellow River are not like earthquakes.

You can't predict an earthquake like that, and you know it's a natural disaster.

But things like the breach of a river embankment are not necessarily free of trouble. The imperial court would allocate a sum of money every year to repair the river embankment, and if it was not for a particularly large natural disaster, it would not break.

If the embankment bursts, either the natural disaster is too serious, or it is a man-made disaster. And this kind of thing is usually the case, there is corruption in it.

There is another meaning of sending Qin to send it, that is, to investigate. After all, the imperial court also needs money and food for disaster relief, and there are some wealthy businessmen and local officials who are likely to collude with each other to do things after the disaster.

The imperial court sent a messenger to check whether the local officials and merchants were corrupt, and if so, they could raid their homes for disaster relief.

I don't know if I have tasted the sweetness, but now the court can be said to be familiar with the investigation of corruption and raiding the house.

Especially a few loyal courtiers of Zhu Youxiao, they are obviously used to taking advantage of it. People like Xu Guangqi think it's good to copy the family if there is a big event.

Take the disasters of this year as an example, if it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's raiding of his house and getting so much money, the imperial court would not be able to bear it.

And since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been asking people to build granaries in various places to buy grain, and this matter has never stopped. If this is not the case, where did the imperial court get the capital to go to Liaodong to fight? The disaster relief alone has already made the court unbearable.

But it can't be spent like this, although His Majesty got some money in Zhangjiakou this time, but there is such a thing as money, naturally the more the better.

Anyway, the Yellow River broke in Xuzhou, so let's take a look.

Looking at the ministers below who looked like they were taken for granted, and some people echoed him, Zhu Youxiao's expression was a little bitter.

He suddenly realized that his ministers seemed to have become accustomed to his style of doing things, and through him they colluded with each other, excluded each other, and replaced each other.

Now these people in the party are already their confidants.

There is a saying that the Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, but above the court and the officialdom, it is not only like this. Only those who support themselves as emperors will be promoted.

Zhu Youxiao only promoted Xu Guangqi and others, and they quietly developed a party. Zhu Youxiao found one thing, and the voice of opposition to doing things on his own recently has become much smaller, which means that these people have formed a huge party.

I didn't even notice it, is it too slow? Or did they do it quietly? Or is it because they agree with themselves?

The current situation is like Yan Song in power, as long as Emperor Jiajing says and wants to do things above the court, there is nothing that cannot be done, and no one will object.

As for those who come out to jump, someone will take them down.

Emperor Jiajing was impeached because he had gone too far.

Zhu Youxiao is different, Liaodong has just won the battle, he is diligent and thrifty every day, and he always sends people to brag for him, the emperor, this reputation is good.

But Zhu Youxiao always felt that something was weird, why did he feel a little uncomfortable?
