Regarding Tang Bohu's actual ability, Zhu Youzhu still has some doubts.

Although Tang Bohu did a good job in the northwest, this time things were different. The stakes are very high, and Zhu Youzhu still hopes to choose a person who is old and respectful.

However, seeing his son's determined appearance, Zhu Youzhu shook his head with a smile and said, "Listen to you." ”

"Thank you, father." Zhu Houzhao hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Alright, let's go back and have a look. They should be talking about it. Zhu Youzhu said with a smile.

After saying this, Zhu Youzhu turned around and walked inside.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao also followed.

After entering the house, Zhu Houzhao saw that they had finished chatting.

Because she was worried about the princess's body, Queen Zhang didn't stay here for too long, and went back with Zhu Youjiao.

After sending off his father and mother, Zhu Houzhao sent the princess back, and then returned to his residence.

Since the crown princess became pregnant, Zhu Houzhao basically never went to live with the crown princess again, and he didn't recruit some people to serve him, and he didn't want to affect the relationship between husband and wife because of this matter.

Although he is the crown prince, there are some things that he still needs to pay attention to. If at this time, he pampered all kinds of beauties every day, and the princess would definitely not say it, and she would feel uncomfortable.

So Zhu Houzhao tried to avoid this kind of thing, there was no beautiful woman to serve, but it moved the crown princess very much.

Even if you want a woman in the future, you can wait until she gives birth to a child, and put up with it for the time being.

Glancing at Liu Jin standing beside him, Zhu Houzhao instructed: "You go and bring Tang Bohu to the palace." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave and maid will go." Liu Jin hurriedly agreed.

After Liu Jin left, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Speaking of which, it has been so long, this matter should indeed be put on the agenda, and the most important thing is that the matter between the DPRK and China has almost been resolved.

The reform of the army has been completed, the reform of the land has also been completed, and all that remains is the reform of taxation.

The domestic business layout is almost complete, and the tax payment has also been greatly improved.

Zhu Houzhao knows very well in his heart that to this extent, he has basically reached the peak of the productivity level of this era, and if he wants to continue to strengthen, he can only wait for the improvement of productivity.

When will the Ming Dynasty be able to make a steam engine, will it be able to burst out the productive forces, will it be able to enter the industrial age, and when will it be able to have a better political system.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and this will never change.

In times like these, it is simply impossible and impossible to force something to do.

Zhu Houzhao was not surprised by this, because he had already been mentally prepared, and he had never thought about forcibly doing something. After all, this is a limitation of the times, and it is not something that you can change.

Although I have invested a lot in science and technology over the years, in fact, the progress is still very slow. For example, I only got the news some time ago that I finally found rubber.

In later generations, Zhu Houzhao checked the information, and in the domestic trees, there are actually rubber trees, and they do not need to be transplanted. Only with rubber can the problem of airtightness and sealing be solved, which is the key.

After solving this problem, the development of the steam engine can be carried out. As long as the steam engine is sent out first, Daming will enter a new era, and Zhu Houzhao has been waiting for that day.

Soon Tang Bohu walked in from outside.

Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhu Houzhao actually hesitated. This is completely similar to Tang Bohu, who came back from the northwest in his memory.

When he came back from the northwest, Tang Bohu's whole person exuded a vicissitudes of life, and his face was tanned.

But this time Tang Bohu, the whole person actually has a feeling of literary brilliance, he is wearing fine silk, and the skin on his whole face is well maintained, looking like he is ten years younger.

However, Zhu Houzhao also feels that this is what a talented person should look like.

"Minister Tang Bohu, see His Royal Highness the Prince." After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

After Tang Bohu saluted, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and then said, "Okay, let's be polite." ”

When Tang Bohu stood up, Zhu Houzhao continued: "I brought you here today, because I have something to tell you. ”

Tang Bohu didn't say anything, and waited quietly for Zhu Houzhao to say.

"You should know what is going on outside these days, right? Many people are advocating the opening of the sea, you should know about this, right? ”

After speaking, Zhu Hou looked at Tang Bohu and asked with a smile, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

For Tang Bohu, he not only knew about this matter, but also knew it very clearly. Even who is agitating, he knows very well in his heart.

Because these people have approached him more than once, hoping that he will come forward. After all, in the eyes of others, Tang Bohu is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the weight of his words is definitely different from that of others.

However, Tang Bohu did not plan to mix, because he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had his own opinions.

Although he is a confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is very favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, but because of this, he can't use this trust to do something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to do.

With Tang Bohu's understanding of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do it, he will definitely do it; If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to do it, then it's useless for anyone to say anything.

Tang Bohu didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to find him today, and he would actually tell him about this matter, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, but he still said: "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister knows." ”

"Not only does the minister know, but there are also many people who hope that the minister can come forward to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for advice. However, the minister felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had his own plans for this matter, so the minister did not agree to them. ”

Facing Zhu Houzhao, Tang Bohu did not hide it in the slightest, and directly told the whole thing.

Looking at Tang Bohu, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, very satisfied with his performance.

"As for the minister's opinion, the minister thinks this is a good thing." Tang Bohu didn't hide his thoughts, and said directly: "A few years ago, the imperial court did not allow sea trade, mainly because of the influence of the Japanese invaders. ”

"Over the years, Daming has been strong every day, not to mention the Japanese now, and even the shadow of the Japanese can not be seen. Since there is no longer a threat of pirates along the coast, maritime trade is naturally the thing that should be done. ”

"After all, everyone knows that sea trade makes money, and the former Song Dynasty made a lot of money by relying on sea trade. My Ming Dynasty is far stronger than the former Song Dynasty, so naturally I have to do maritime trade, and I have to do better than them. Although the imperial court now has sufficient daily needs, it is always a good thing to have more money. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, with Tang Bohu's knowledge, it was already good to be able to say this, and he couldn't expect him to say anything long.

So Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "How about leaving this matter to you?" ”

Tang Bohu was stunned, he really didn't expect this.

His life in the capital during this time was still very good, and he was relatively comfortable. The most important thing is that the imperial court is now rich, the country is now strong, and in the words of many people, the Ming Dynasty is already prosperous.

In such a prosperous world, Tang Bohu can also live a peaceful and stable life, and his heart is relatively peaceful. But now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking him to do things?

Tang Bohu did not hesitate at all, took a step forward, and said with a serious face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the minister is willing to do it." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's set up a team." My father has agreed, and the imperial court will set up a maritime trade yamen, and you will be in charge of this yamen. Get things done well and don't let this palace down. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Prince's trust." Tang Bohu assured with a serious face.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then you go back and prepare, settle the current things, and then go to the new yamen to report." ”

"The minister has retired." After Tang Bohu agreed, he turned around and walked outside.

The news spread quickly, and there was basically no opposition, and naturally the government and the opposition were boiling.

Everyone is waiting to make money with this thing, but that doesn't mean that no one is against it. For example, those smugglers in Jiangnan, but their current strength is not very strong.

Now they are far inferior to later generations, and later they will collude with the Japanese and will become a great disaster on the southeast coast. But that time will come to Jiajing, and now they don't have the strength at all.

The last time Zhu Houzhao went to Jiangnan, he arrested a lot of people and killed a lot of people, many of whom were smugglers.

Because of King Ning's rebellion, many people were implicated. After all, Ning Wang Haimao has done a lot of work, and many people have been implicated in this matter, so it has been cleaned.

In such a situation, they have no qualifications and strength to stop this matter.

To sum it up, it is one sentence, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is powerful, and no one dares to go against it.

After the matter was explained, Zhu Houzhao didn't care anymore.

In the past two years, Zhu Houzhao basically doesn't care much about things, and he is ordered to do anything, and if he does it well, he will be rewarded, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be punished, and then he will be directly replaced.

Now that he has this confidence, he doesn't have to worry about everything.

Because the country is strong, if there is a slight mistake, it will basically not have much impact, and it can be adjusted anytime and anywhere.

In a word, the country's ability to resist risks has improved.

This is the same in later generations, the country is rich, the national strength is strong, a little natural disaster or **, it can also be well remedied, and there will be no big chaos.

This point, Zhu Houzhao, who is a person in two lifetimes, has a very profound experience. It was the same in later generations, and it was still the same in this life, so after he handed over the matter to Tang Bohu, he didn't pay much attention to it.

As for what he is doing, of course he is accompanying his wife.

One day half a month later, in the originally quiet palace, there was a sudden noise, which can be described as a person turning on his back.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the inside of the room a little anxiously, and his face was full of worry.

Zhu Youzhu walked over with Queen Zhang quickly, and the faces of the two were also filled with joy and anxiety.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "The son and the queen are the father and the queen mother." ”

"Okay, you don't have to worry about these imaginary things at this time." Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry too much, it won't take too long." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he didn't say anything, but looked at the room with some concern.

Empress Zhang glanced at her son and did not say anything to comfort her. She knew that it was useless to say anything now, and it was better not to speak at this time.

She also turned her head and looked into the room worriedly.

This is the first child of the crown princess, the first child of Zhu Houzhao, and the first grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and the importance is naturally self-evident.

Everyone was waiting outside, and no one dared to make a sound.

Only the palace daughters are busy going in and out.

The Imperial Physician stood not far away, waiting for ambulance.

But everybody's heart hopes that they won't be needed.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a crisp cry came from inside the house.

Then an elderly palace maid rushed out, knelt on the ground with a plop, showed a look of ecstasy on her face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, the crown princess gave birth to the imperial grandson for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After hearing her words, everyone's faces showed a look of ecstasy.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

In this life, he finally became a father again!

This event meant a lot to him, and there was a sense of unreality, even a sense of changing history.

Although many things have changed since he came to the Ming Dynasty, and he has indeed done things that have changed history, but at this moment, this feeling is particularly profound.

"Reward, everyone has a reward!" Zhu Youzhu said loudly, with a look of excitement on his face.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also came back to his senses, he pulled out to report the good news, and the palace maid asked, "How is the crown princess?" ”

He was worried about this.

You must know that in this era, the medical conditions are not very good, and giving birth to a child is no different from passing through the ghost gate for a woman.

He didn't want his child to be born and his mother gone.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everything is fine with the Crown Princess. Your Highness don't worry. The palace maid hurriedly spoke.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's heart finally relaxed, nodded lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, that's good!" You do your job well, and you will be rewarded for all your returns! ”

Soon everything was cleaned up, and Zhu Houzhao was finally able to enter the house.

After entering the house, Zhu Houzhao came to the bed of the crown princess, looked at the princess who was still very weak, reached out and held her arm, and then softly comforted: "We have a son, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and when your body is well, educate him well." If he doesn't obey, tell me, and I'll beat him. ”

originally thought that the crown prince would say something, but after hearing this, the crown princess couldn't help but laugh.

She glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with disgust, and her face was full of happiness.
