Zhang Heling took the letter, and when he saw that his younger brother was the first to come out, Zhang Heling's mood was not so beautiful, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfied expression.

He knew that this time the matter was arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him. In fact, his family has not been less responsible for it in the past few years, and he is a little scared when he carries it, if the family has been thriving, he would have been stupid.

It's just that Zhang Heling also knows that there are some things that he and his family don't have to choose, just like the nobles and relatives in the capital this time, everyone doesn't have a choice.

Your sons, nephews and grandchildren are on errands in the Black Dragon Army, studying in the Martial Academy, and the future of the family is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, and your family's financial resources, whether it is operating a salt and iron mine, or buying pastures and textiles in Liaodong, are all paved by His Royal Highness the Prince, and what you want to sell, you can't do without His Royal Highness's Strange Zhai.

In addition, if you want to get the construction of the northwest this time, you must also get the permission and support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise you will have no fun.

Before you know it, the entire nobles and relatives are tied to His Royal Highness the Prince, and no one can resist, and no one dares to resist, because your net worth and life are all tied to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Of course, no one wants to rebel, so why should they resist? Isn't it a good day like this?

The family is getting richer and richer, and the nephews are getting more and more promising.

"The younger brother just did what he had to do, and he deserved the praise of His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Heling handed back the letter in his hand and said quickly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "All the items in this palace must be rewarded for meritorious service, and this time in the northwest, there is a business that can be handed over to you to do." ”

Zhu Houzhao is talking about burning bricks and cement.

In this construction of the northwest, Zhu Houzhao is ready to abandon the traditional wooden structure buildings. In later generations, countless people advocated ancient architecture, but the cost of that thing was too high, and the damage to the ecological environment was too great.

Whether it's quarrying or logging, it's all too difficult. Coupled with the high cost of transportation, Zhu Houzhao decisively gave up and directly used masonry and concrete for construction.

In this way, there is a need for a material provider, not to mention others, just for the construction of the four cities in the northwest, the raw materials needed will go to the sea, which is a business that can make people a lot of money.

Zhu Houzhao naturally won't cheapen others, and it's good to do it for his uncle. When this construction method is rolled out, Shou Ninghou is estimated to become the largest supplier of building materials in Daming.

"I've already explained the matter to the master of the War Bureau who came with me, you can go and find him, but people have to stay in the palace, you just send someone to learn." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile on his face.

In the past few years, the craftsmen of the eight bureaus are definitely sought-after, and there are craftsmen who have been released because of old age, and they are all immediately robbed.

Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning in front of him, did this thing. The employment fee of 100,000 taels of silver hit a record high, and at the same time, it also shocked countless people.

At the same time, everyone also recognized a kind of person, who is called the master of the eight bureaus. In recent years, the status of craftsmen has risen, everyone is cultivating craftsmen, and good craftsmen want to go to the eighth bureau for gilding. This is all what Zhu Houzhao is happy to see.

As for the incumbent masters of the Eighth Bureau, no one dares to hire or tease, and no master of the Eighth Bureau dares to leave, so there is no need for Zhu Houzhao to say this.

However, the person in front of him is not among them, and the master he brought with him, if he doesn't look at it carefully, he will probably become a member of their Shouning Marquis Mansion when he goes back.

"I understand." Zhang Heling nodded, but sighed in his heart that his nephew of the prince was really leaky.

What I was thinking about just now was to get this master craftsman to myself. It's really not good, I went into the palace to beg my sister, and the prince's nephew wouldn't say anything when he arrived.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I had this idea, the road had been blocked by the prince's nephew.

Since the prince's nephew has already said that if he still goes to the palace to ask for it, he will not know how to lift, and he can't do this.

Looking at Zhang Heling's aggrieved look, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Okay, there are three masters over there in the Eighth Bureau who are going to retire this time, and they will be given to you after returning to Beijing." ”

When Zhang Heling heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then thank Your Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, just get the errand done." ”

After Zhang Heling left, the smile on Zhu Houzhao's face slowly retracted, and he began to think about some other things in his heart.

Although there are many major events in the northwest, there is basically no need for Zhu Houzhao to worry too much.

As for recruiting displaced people, Zhu Houzhao was not worried at all, once Yinchuan was built, the merchants would need to hire a large number of laborers, and they would run to find the displaced people themselves.

Because there is no more suitable worker than the homeless. Tenant farmers are definitely not good, people want to farm, you go to other people's tenant farmers, people are not allowed to be anxious with you?

Other than that, there are only displaced people left, how good the displaced people are, there is nothing, just give money and bring it over.

This was also deliberately arranged by Zhu Houzhao, so that the displaced people would naturally return, and the displaced people from other places would also be attracted to the northwest. The homeland is difficult to leave among the displaced people, there is no such thing as a homeless people, they are all homeless, and there is no homeland. When the city is finished, these homeless people will become the caretakers of merchants or the small workers of the workshop.

These people will become the first workers of the Ming Dynasty, and as time goes by, industry and commerce will become more and more developed, and there will be more and more workers, and more and more people will be separated from the land.

Of course, the problem of food still needs to be solved, in addition to the planting base in the northeast, other places must also be solved, such as the south.

"After taking care of the problems in the north, the south should also be solved!" Zhu Houzhao sighed softly, stood up and moved his muscles.

Five years have passed since I crossed over to the present. I have done a lot of things in the past five years, and the first five-year plan has been achieved, and after the completion of the military reform in the northwest, the military reform of the nine sides has basically been completed.

When the reform of the Nine-Sided Army was completed and the problem of the Mongols was solved, he could start to move south.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's heart couldn't help but feel relieved, life is better!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the document from Liaodong." Liu Jin walked in from outside and respectfully handed over a document to Zhu Houzhao.

Is there an accident in Liaodong?

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to take the paperwork, unfolded it and glanced at it, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

Is this actually a letter asking for help, or a war report?

But Zhu Houzhao knew that what was said here was false.
