Thinking of his son's words, looking at these battles in front of him, Zhu Youzhu didn't know what it was like in his heart.

On the one hand, he was a little unconvinced, and on the other hand, he felt that his son was simply a crow's mouth, and what made Zhu Youzhu even more upset was his son's evaluation of those officials. In the words of his son, that is, "the name is a mountain man, and the heart is the same as the businessman, the mouth talks about morality, and the ambition is to wear the kiln", "this is wealth, and the external pretentiousness is unwilling, but I really want to use this as a ladder of pride, and also adopt moral and righteous things to cover myself".

In the son's opinion, these people are thinking in their hearts "study and seek high rank, and live in an official and seek respect", a three-word evaluation: hypocrite.

Zhu Youzhu also had some disputes with his son because of this, but now it seems that what his son said is too right.

Leaning back, Zhu Youzhu felt that he was a little tired, why couldn't these people fight for some anger? Although the son said that this is called universal value, that is, most of them are like this, and examples of rank cannot be used as evidence. But in Zhu Youjiao's view, most of them should be gentlemen, ashamed of their words, and they are not like this.

Only a few people are what his son said, but looking at these twists and turns, Zhu Youzhu felt that what his son said was too right, and most of them were like this.

At that time, the son mentioned the matter of Liaodong, that is, everyone in the court will be like this, will be like this, Liaodong is an example, these people will definitely do things in Liaodong, and they will definitely ask the court for war, not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but for the sake of making a fortune, but they will definitely put on a coat for the country and the king.

These people really did this, Zhu Youzhu hadn't seen how these people were anti-war before, and this face really made his son right.

Sitting up straight, Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at He Neng, and then said, "Go to the northwest to spread the decree and let the prince return to Beijing." ”

In Zhu Youzhang's opinion, this mess was made by the prince, so simply let the prince do it, anyway, when things come to this point, let the prince take care of it. Anyway, now the court is also thinking about letting the prince come back. Originally, the courtiers didn't want the prince to come back, because the prince was always doing things in the capital.

But now it's different, the prince hasn't stopped in the northwest, and he hasn't stopped anyway, so it's better to go back to the capital, the prince is in the capital, and there will be fewer deaths.

"Yes, slave and maid." He Neng hurriedly agreed, then bowed down and retreated, arranging for someone to deliver the message.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was in the northwest, naturally didn't know that his father already wanted to let him return to Beijing, what was he doing during this time? Of course, he is arranging the construction of the new city, and Zhu Houzhao will not interfere in the general direction, and he will leave the matter to He Jian to be in charge, after all, it is impossible for him to wait for the construction of the four cities in the northwest.

In addition, after the construction of these four cities is completed, it will definitely be handed over to the magistrate to manage, and it is good for them to become familiar with the construction from the beginning.

Zhu Houzhao mainly formulated the policies of the northwest from the west, such as commercial taxation, and the tax department was directly brought in, and the officials began to implement the examination law, which was the same as the policy implemented in Liaodong. The army was reformed, the military households were divided, and the entire northwest began to roll up their sleeves and work hard, and countless people started to do it, Zhu Houzhao just had to watch that there were no problems.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao set up a brand-new army in the northwest, and the name of this army was called the Northwest Engineering Army.

Listening to the name, you can also know what they do, specializing in siege, mainly to build city fortresses and all military buildings, such as the army camp, need professional personnel to carry out the construction, they do this. Equipped with various tools and training professional personnel, these are prepared for the rapid construction of the city in the future.

The red bricks and cement burned out will become their weapons, and many of the military households that have been laid off have joined this team.

This also led to a further shortage of manpower in the northwest, and Zhu Houzhao had discovered that a new industry had emerged in the northwest, known as Zhongren.

These people are different from the original Chinese people, they are more like human resources intermediaries in later generations, what kind of people do you want, you pay, we will hire them for you. Zhu Houzhao was happy to see this, and at the same time, Zhu Houzhao also prepared a labor dispatch company, which was led by Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and invested by many nobles and relatives.

It is said to be a labor dispatch chamber of commerce, but in fact it is engaged in the slave trade, and their main function is to provide labor.

For example, if the state wants to build something, these people can be released, although there are no slaves yet, they just go to the places where the displaced people are to hire labor, and then take money from it. With them mixed up in the middle, Gu Gong's side will definitely not dare to default on wages, who dares to owe these people's money?

In addition, these people can solve the problem of displaced people, and large-scale recruitment will naturally have a scale effect.

At the same time, if the state cares for the workers, it is much more convenient to have them, and as for the development of a slave trading company in the future, there is no need for Zhu Houzhao to agitate.

Capital will find its own way out, and the people who hire the Ming Dynasty need to be paid, and it is not low, because Zhu Houzhao can set the minimum wage standard, and they dare not listen, if they dare not listen, then they can be cleaned up. The nobles and relatives are all pinched in the hands of the emperor, which is the guarantee that the emperor will have if he exists.

What to do in order to find cheap labor? Then you can only buy slaves, the slaves of the Ming Dynasty are too expensive, then go and buy the slaves of the barbarians.

These people will definitely open this opening, this will be an interest group that supports foreign wars, merchants want markets, raw materials, pastures, nobles want slaves, how to get it? The answer is very simple, that is, go to war, go to catch! What is the price of the steppe herdsmen now? What is called a steppe herdsman, it is the Mongols who fought and captured in Liaodong.

The prisoners who have fought several times in the northwest have become sought-after goods for a while, the price is still high, and they have their own pastures, who doesn't need a few experienced herdsmen?

There is also this reason why the Liaodong side wants to go to war, and those officer landlords and officer ranchers in Liaodong are estimated to be eyeing the population of Horqin. In addition to their pastures, their population is also making these people drool, which is why these people are so motivated.

"Iniquity!" Zhu Houzhao took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of roast lamb leg with chopsticks, and muttered.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, these policies he pursued would eventually only push the Ming Dynasty to foreign expansion and colonization, and there was no second way to go. Once the power of capital begins to roll, it will really be unstoppable, and those nobles and relatives will become staunch supporters of this empire, this is the Junker aristocracy!
