The whole Northwest is in chaos.

This is the feeling of the gentry in the northwest, there are three families arrested in Guyuan City alone, in addition, dozens of homes in the entire northwest have been raided, and the huge population has been pressed to Guyuan City, the black dragon guard attacks everywhere, and everywhere he goes, there are rumors, so that people hide far away after seeing it, when the black dragon guard enters the city, the sound of horses' hooves seems to knock on the hearts of the gentry.

Countless twists and turns flew to the capital, Zhu Houzhao turned a blind eye to this, sat firmly in Guyuan City, glanced at Zhang He, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Not afraid? ”

The prince is right, Zhang He, who can't do this thing, will be pushed out, so Zhu Houzhao asked such a question.

Zhang He bowed and said, "For His Royal Highness, only death." ”

Hearing Zhang He's words, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, stood up and walked to Zhang He's side, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang He's shoulder: "Don't worry, this palace doesn't need you to carry it for this palace." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao walked outside.

Walking out of the door, Zhu Hou glanced at Qian He, who was standing beside him: "Everyone is here?" ”

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Qian He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to Your Highness, everyone has arrived." ”

Qian He was frightened, this time among the partners of Qiwei Zhai, seven were investigated and directly raided. Originally, Qian He thought that this time the matter would inevitably implicate him, but no, even so, Qian He's heart was full of fear for the Royal Highness Crown Prince in front of him, it was too scary, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really ruthless!

"Then go meet them." Zhu Houzhao walked out of front first, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of determination.

The people Zhu Houzhao wanted to meet were businessmen from the northwest, mainly people who cooperated with Qiqizhai, of course, there were other people, such as the subordinates of Xun Gui Xunqi, such as big businessmen from other places.

Unlike the merchants in the northwest, Xungui and Xunqi's subordinates are more excited, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrests people and does not arrest them, they just watch the excitement. Of course, not only to watch, but also to release some remarks to attack the opponent, anyway, the more they catch, the less competitive pressure they have, and they are very good at this.

The room that Zhu Houzhao was going to was specially prepared, it was not big, and it could accommodate dozens of people, but even so, it was not full.

Because there are not many people who are qualified to sit here, small businessmen, those who are not rich in capital, are all not qualified, and the prince's invitation is so easy to receive?

The first to walk in was a team of Black Dragon Guards, led by Zhang He, who pressed the knife, his gaze swept over everyone present, sharp and gloomy.

Being looked at by Zhang He like this, everyone was silent, and everyone was familiar with this great commander of the Black Dragon Guard these days. This is the number one eagle dog of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is rumored that he kills people without blinking, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obeys his orders, and basically no one dares to look at him.

"The prince has arrived."

Liu Jin followed, and after standing still, he shook off the dust in his hand and shouted loudly.

With Liu Jin's shout, Zhu Houzhao stepped in, different from usual, at this time, Zhu Houzhao was wearing an armor specially made for him, and he also held a sword around his waist, and his hand did not leave the hilt.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, for fear that they would not shout loudly enough and their attitude would not be sincere enough.

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, just looked at everyone, no one dared to move, and even the panting was very slight.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "Excuse me!" ”

After everyone stood up, Zhu Houzhao said: "The palace has just arrived in the northwest, and the situation of not arriving in the northwest first has been shocking to this point, and the palace even has a trance-like feeling, is this northwest no longer the world of the Ming Dynasty?" Could it be that the gentry and merchants in the northwest are no longer the children of my Zhu family? ”

These words made people startled, and no one dared to speak, the expressions on their faces were tight, if this hat was buttoned up, it would be possible to raid the family and destroy the clan.

"This palace knows that you are quite uneasy these days, and the reason is that the Black Dragon Guard is raiding the house and arresting people." Zhu Houzhao continued: "This palace is not an unreasonable person, there are naturally reasons to raid the house and arrest people, these people oppress the good, run rampant, kill people, and do all kinds of evil, this palace is to tell the people in the northwest that these people have been accepted by the palace." ”

"This northwest is still my Ming territory, and you are still my Ming subjects, if anyone doesn't want to be my Zhu family's subjects, stand up."

As soon as these words came out, there was no more sound.

Of course, not everyone is a fool, a man in his forties stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to live forever for the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be forever, and the country will be forever." ”

The others must have heard this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty will be forever, and the country will be forever." ”

"Get up!" Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and his tone softened: "This palace knows your intentions, those lawbreakers have been arrested, since you can get here, it proves that you are kind to your neighbors on weekdays, take care of Xiangzi, for you, this palace likes it." There is a clear reward and punishment in this palace, and since you have done a good job, you should be rewarded. ”

Everyone felt a little trance when they heard it, and this is a reward?

"Come on, bring up the picture of the main palace." Zhu Houzhao waved to the back as he spoke, then turned around and stood on the side.

The person who had prepared it a long time ago directly hung up a large picture, and at the same time handed a wooden stick to Zhu Houzhao.

Although there has never been a PPT press conference in later generations, I have seen it myself, and Zhu Houzhao is ready to draw a big cake for these people.

"Regarding the matter of the northwest, this palace has made a big plan, since you are qualified to come here, you are naturally qualified to participate." Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Within three years, the palace is going to spend 50 million taels of silver in the northwest to make the northwest an important town of the Ming Dynasty, and you will make money when you come here." ”

"The first phase of the palace will invest five million to have been taken, and it is initially planned to build three cities, namely Yinchuan located here, Baotou located here, and Fengzhou located here." Zhu Houzhao gestured with a wooden stick in the three positions, and then continued: "After the three cities are built, the entire grassland will belong to the Ming Dynasty. ”

"In addition to large areas of pasture that can be used for grazing, matching wool textile and canning factories will be put into operation, and in addition to this, Hongu will build a new steel factory in the northwest."

"At the same time, a large army was sent to open up trade routes to the west and restore the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The people present are basically big households, they naturally know what the Silk Road means, not to mention the Silk Road, just the woolen mill is a big profit!
