Lu Xiangsheng is now preparing to go west, because Zhu Youxiao's task is relatively heavy, in addition to subduing Lin Dan Khan, but also to consolidate the stability of the northern places and develop the economy of the north, then it is necessary to let the population settle down, and to settle down, you need to have a house, and these nomads do not have the habit of settling down at all, which requires someone to build a house, so he now has to wait for Zhu Youxiao to send him the labor to build a house.

Now that it is the end of April, the heavy snow in the Horqin grassland has begun to melt, and the sunny places are faintly green, and the herdsmen have begun to drive out the cattle and sheep that have been raised in captivity for a winter, so that they can eat the tender grass, and the farmers have begun spring ploughing, ready to sow spring wheat. A sturdy cavalry came from the southeast, led by a black steed and a man with a meaty face, with a knife and a spear hanging from his waist. Behind him is a handsome young man riding a white horse, with a sword hanging from his waist and a short spear, these two people are Mao Wenlong and Zhu Youzhen who returned from the Korean battlefield, behind them are the soldiers of the 5,000 mountain foot cavalry battalion, one person and two horses hurried towards the Horqin steppe, and behind the cavalry there is a large group of walking troops, these people are short, and the cavalry in front is in stark contrast, these are the labor sent by Zhu Youxiao--- 100,000 captives of the Japanese people, Their task was to build houses and castles around the North Sea.

In order to maintain the security and stability of the northern region, it is necessary to have a strong castle that can keep warm, and then slowly develop the castle into a small city, and become the center of the region's administration, culture, and commodity exchange. Zhu Youxiao's idea was to form a few such economically prosperous cities in the northern region. With the castle as the core, drive the agglomeration of the surrounding population, people can usually farm, graze, trade commodities around the city, and enter the castle for heating and refuge in winter or in the event of war, each castle must ensure a food supply of 20,000 people a year, and choose a suitable place to live every two to three hundred miles to build a city, so that the population stability of the north can be guaranteed, and the situation in the north can be completely controlled.

In the newly built Hulunbuir City, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao received Mao Wenlong, Zhu Youzhen, Song Xiance and his subordinates Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi, as well as people from the civil official system in the northeast. Zhu Youzhen's identity has been clarified, which originally scared Mao Wenlong, but Zhu Youzhen put on a very respectful attitude and told Mao Wenlong that he was an ordinary general who came to join the army, and now he is not a king of letters, if he is willing to let him stay in the army, he will be regarded as a subordinate and brother, if he is not willing, he will go to other people's teams, anyway, this is what the imperial brother explained, and he came out to exercise his experience and increase his skills. Although Mao Wenlong is very arrogant, he can also distinguish the importance of the heavy, and directly expanded his personal guard to a brigade of 1,000 people, handed it over to Zhu Youzhen and asked him to bring it himself, and the guards will be re-selected, and Zhu Youzhen's safety must be ensured first.

Sun Chuanting listened to Mao Wenlong's introduction and was very happy. Judging from Zhu Youxiao's attitude towards the imperial family, Zhu Youxiao is different from the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they all gave them the opportunity to give full play to their abilities, and they didn't want the original emperor to be afraid of losing their power, so they all raised the royal disciples as pigs, which shows that Zhu Youxiao is very broad-minded.

At the banquet to receive Mao Wenlong and his entourage, Sun Chuanting hung out a simple map brought by Zhu Youxiao and Song Xiance, which was a sketchy map drawn by Zhu Youxiao based on the palace collection and the modern knowledge in his mind, and he did not dare to indicate the specific name and location, because there was a joke in Yarkand City. It's just that the topography and topography are more important, and it is necessary to build a castle, and there is a river where you can make good use of it.

In this material-rich place but extremely cold and difficult living conditions, it is impossible to immigrate here, especially in the north of Heilongjiang, but the original inhabitants here can still have a large number of children to increase the population, the premise is that they must be given good and stable living buildings, as well as rich material conditions, Zhu Youxiao is to give them such conditions, but there is also a precondition, that is, they must also accept Zhu Youxiao's assimilation of them, whether it is in living habits and culture. Become a part of the Ming civilization.

In order to further strengthen the economic development of the Northeast, Wen Zhenmeng, Fu Guan, Chen Renxi, Ni Yunlu, Jiang Dejing, Zhu Shen and other first batch of Jinshi were transferred to the Northeast in one go, and dozens of Jinshi from the same department came with them, and arranged them to reach the northern section of Sakhalin Island from the north of Shanhaiguan all the way to Heilongjiang, and as far as Sakhalin Island. The amount of silver that Zhu Youxiao gave them was also gradually increased from south to north, and the areas that originally belonged to the Nuer Gandu Division were effectively ruled. Wen Zhenmeng became the new governor of Northeast China, and Fu Guan, Chen Renxi, Ni Yunlu, Jiang Dejing, and Zhu Shen were all appointed as political envoys and governors of the three provinces. Set up a military camp in the central city, under the jurisdiction of 5,000 people, the county only set up a police agency and the armed forces, the police needless to say are responsible for the safety of ordinary people, rescue, civil disputes, the armed forces department is responsible for the military training of young and middle-aged people in each county and village in the agricultural slack, this is Zhu Youxiao specially arranged, the purpose is to make the young people of the Ming Dynasty have the ability to serve in the military or fight at all times, and another purpose is to exercise their bodies and lay a good foundation for the genes of future generations.

In the original history, these champions, Jinshi and the like were short-lived, buried in the long river of history, and now these people have received modern knowledge education, and will never sink in social history, they will be squeezed by Zhu Youxiao to the last drop of sweat, and some will also become the people of the times, as for who will go further, it depends on who can best combine what they have learned with the local situation.

There are resources in the Northeast, Liaoning has enough coal and steel, Zhu Youxiao sent people there last year to look for mineral resources, where to build a steelmaking and coal base, the purpose is to produce agricultural machinery, there is too much agricultural land in the Northeast, but the cultivation time is too short, we must increase the production of agricultural machinery, a large number of agricultural machinery such as pot camel machine, harvester, thresher and other machinery, can save a lot of manpower, improve production efficiency, produce a large amount of food, in the development of the breeding industry, To improve people's living standards, as long as there is surplus food at home, no one will rebel with their heads.

From the experience of later generations, natural resources are not inexhaustible, and must be used in a limited way, not to mention mineral resources, such as fur resources, if wild fur animals are hunted on a large scale, it will also lead to its extinction. Zhu Youxiao's desire to vigorously develop the economy of Northeast China is also to avoid excessive exploitation of natural resources.

At Sun Chuanting's reception banquet, in addition to these generals, Wen Zhenmeng and several provincial governors and vice governors also came, mainly Zhu Youxiao asked them to plan the development of the north together, politics, military, and economy are indispensable, Sun Chuanting is mainly military, and politics and economy are mainly civil officials headed by Wen Zhenmeng, but today Wen Zhenmeng is also a guest, and Sun Chuanting is now also the governor here.

Sun Chuanting is about to continue his northern expedition next, and Zhu Youxiao wants him to hand over the management of Wen Zhenmeng, and Oba and Zaisang Buhe also have to obey Wen Zhenmeng's jurisdiction, so today he is also the master, and he is also helping Sun Chuanting to receive these guests, and frequently toasts the guests. Zaisang Buhe's youngest daughter Bumu Butai looks interesting, especially Zhu Youzhen's eyebrows and clear eyes reveal a resolute color, which makes her feel very fond in her heart.

Bumu Butai ran to Zhu Youzhen with a small wine glass and said, "Little brother, can I have a glass of wine with you?" ”

Zhu Youzhen is not very good at drinking, but it is not easy to refuse, so he picked up the cup and said, "Okay, have a drink, thank you little girl." ”

But the next sentence startled everyone, and Bumu Butai said: "Little brother, I like you very much, will I marry you in two years?" Will you marry me? ”

Zhu Youzhen blushed and said, "Little sister, I already have a wife, I'm really sorry." ”

Bumu Butai said: "It's okay, Brother Sun is the sister he married later!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "This, I need to talk to the imperial brother." ”

Sun Chuanting smiled when he saw it: "Ha, ha." There is no problem, Your Majesty will agree, little sister, my brother will give you a packing ticket. ”
