As soon as the planning of the new city was confirmed, Zhu Cijiong immediately summoned relevant personnel to start building the new city, and the first step was naturally to build the city wall.

Of course, the construction of the urban area is not only planning on the line, but also have a specific construction plan and architectural drawings, this, Nancheng District does not care, directly the city wall repaired, the road is repaired, and then the water supply and drainage infrastructure can be built, the rest is the auction of land, not only do not need to invest, but also make money, now the land price in the capital is also rising, Nancheng District is such a large area, auction out at least can earn tens of millions of taels!

Beicheng District is different, the investment alone is 100 million taels of silver, this is to put the Chongzhen Dynasty, don't even think about it, at that time the only person in the world who can take out so much money may be Spain, and it is difficult to pick out a million taels of poor Ming Dynasty.

Now it's different, the wool of the Mughal Empire is sheared, the gold and silver are gathering to the Ming Dynasty, plus the income of the major businesses in other places, this year, Zhu Cijiong doesn't know how much money he can make, he is not the kind of master who only knows how to make money and will not spend money, if the money is earned or not, what are you doing there? Wait and see!

If you make money, you have to transform it into strength, whether it is military strength or economic strength, you have to enhance, if you pick the rope, in the end it will still be rushed by others, the expansion of the capital, the growth of economic strength is obvious, a southern urban area, I don't know how much income can be added to the Ming court and the people.

As for military strength, in fact, it is also faintly growing, the establishment of schools, the training of talents, the purpose is to develop the military industry and civilian industry, the development of the military industry will naturally follow the development of the strength of the army, but this can not be seen immediately, but it takes time to accumulate.

Running a school is related to the half-year plan, so Zhu Cijiong is very concerned about the construction plan of Beicheng District, he has to personally see all the architectural drawings, although he is not an expert in architecture, but he has seen a lot of universities in later generations, to say that the experience of building a school, there is really no one to compare with him, so every time he puts forward suggestions for improvement, the design officials of the Ministry of Engineering are amazed, and praise the emperor for his wisdom.

The architectural design is gradually improving with his participation, and the construction of infrastructure is also proceeding at a rapid pace, to say that the current level of construction of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply appalling, like building a city wall, before it was slowly mining stones, a piece of flattening, and then slowly piling up, and then burning bricks and bricks on top, the whole process is extremely complicated.

Now it's okay, there's a lot of money, go directly to the reinforced concrete, on the deck, the steel bar is tied, the cement concrete is poured, the city wall is basically good, and then fill the middle with soil, and continue to use reinforced concrete on it, the speed is just like building blocks.

Repairing the road is even more exaggerated, turning over the ground dragon all the way over, and shoveling the soil directly away, the roadbed is completed, and then the deck is on, the steel bar is tied, the cement concrete is poured, and then the top is smoothed, and so the cement is dry, and a road is repaired!

Just when the construction of the capital was in full swing, Cao Huachun suddenly came to report: "Sun Chengzong, the prince of Zhenguo, asks to see." “

Taifu actually came, Zhu Cijiong's surprise is not trivial, it is definitely a big deal, otherwise Taifu would not have suddenly come to the capital, could it be that Mo Nan rebelled!

It's impossible, he should send a telegram to inform the capital of this kind of thing, and he immediately led the troops to quell the rebellion, and it is impossible to go to the capital to report in person, what is the matter?

Zhu Cijiong hurriedly dropped the architectural drawings and said loudly: "Xuan." “

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, Zhu Cijiong immediately got up and came to the door, welcomed the white-haired Taifu Sun Chengzong in, and asked in surprise while helping him to his seat: "Taifu, why are you here?" “

Although Sun Chengzong is over 70 years old, he is still in good health, you must know that when he was in the Chongzhen Dynasty, when he was in his seventies, he also led the army and people of Gaoyang to resist the Qing army, but unfortunately in the end the city was captured and hanged to death.

At this time, he naturally doesn't have to go into battle in person, but his loyalty to Daming is unswerving, no, he dares to go so far at such an old age, and he personally ran to the capital to meet the emperor, and the heart of the country and the people can be seen.

Seeing that the emperor looked worried, he hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, the emperor, Weichen came to the capital this time to discuss with the emperor for a good thing." “

In Sun Chengzong's eyes, maybe Zhu Cijiong will always be the innocent little prince who needs to be cared for.

Hearing his childlike tone, Zhu Cijiong not only did not get angry, but was moved to tears, and he said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Taifu can just send a telegram directly if there is anything, why do you have to come to the capital in person, you are so old, can't you sit in Liaodong and take care of your old age?" “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is in good health, let alone taking the train for a few days, it is no problem to go into battle to kill the enemy." “

Indeed, Sun Chengzong is still full of red light, in good spirits, and there is no sign of old age, Zhu Cijiong looked at it carefully, and felt that Sun Chengzong didn't want to pretend, so he let go of his worries and asked curiously: "Then why did Taifu come to me?" “

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "I don't know if the emperor has ever heard of Nu'er Gandusi?" “

This Zhu Cijiong naturally knew, he immediately got up and pulled out a map of the largest territory of the Ming Dynasty, spread it on the conference table, pointed to a large area in northeastern Liao, and said: "The slave Gandu Division that Taifu said is here, right?" “

When Sun Chengzong saw the map, he immediately stroked it excitedly, and while stroking, he muttered: "Yes, this is it, there are more than 200 guards in the north, such as Qinzhen Hewei, Gaiping Wei, Yimu Hewei, Hulu Muwei, Manjing Wei, etc., this, when was this map, how come Weichen has never seen it?" “

Zhu Cijiong smiled innocently: "Hehe, this is a piece of work that I asked people to piece together the largest territory of the Ming Dynasty, of course Taifu has never seen it." “

Sun Chengzong said excitedly: "Then the emperor's intention is to recover all the lost territory?" “

Zhu Cijiong only reacted at this time, and instead of answering, he asked: "Could it be that Taifu came this time to recover a large territory north of Nu'er Gandusi?" “

Sun Chengzong nodded firmly and said: "Yes, from Liaodong to the sea of ice and snow in the north, this large piece of land was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Wechen has long wanted to recover it, but the emperor has been fighting in the south and the north in the past few years, and needs to use the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, so Weichen can only wait first, and now Liaodong has gathered 400,000 soldiers and horses, plus it is the scorching summer, it is the time when the northern Xinjiang thaws, so Weichen wants to lead the army to advance north, and I hope that the emperor will give permission." “

Zhu Cijiong only remembered at this time that after the Mughal Empire War, he asked the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army to return to Liaodong to rest and recuperate, in this case, plus the First Army of the Frontier Guards and the Liaodong Army originally stationed in Liaodong, wouldn't it be exactly 400,000.

Zhu Cijiong immediately nodded and said, "This is a good thing, you can just send a telegram over, how can I not be allowed!" “
