Zhang Fu has followed King Yan with his father since he was a child, and he knows Zhu Di's character very well. This is a generation of emperors with a big heart, but at the same time, he is also a dictator with a strong desire for power.

Although under his command, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, he can get a better result, the premise is that he must not exceed his authority.

Why did Yao Guangxiao hide in the monk's temple as a monk Si Zuo Shanshi, why did he dare not borrow his identity when he was fighting with Confucianism now, not because he was afraid that Zhu Di would suspect him of his scheming.

The prince put Xie Jin in prison because of his contact with Xie Jin, who did not belong to the James Mansion, or because of official business, and the prince was also imprisoned for half a month.

Zhu Di regards power so important, why did it change when he came to Taisun?

Now not only did he hand over all the sailors of the Ming Dynasty to the hands of Taisun, but he also handed over the Jinyi Wei to him.

At this time, Zhang Fu already knew that there was definitely a temptation attracting Zhu Di, and there was a big plan brewing.

And Zhu Zhanji is the one who completed this plan.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the bits and pieces of his years of contact with Zhu Di. Because of the Battle of Annam, he has been away from the court for five years, and although information from all sides is still circulating, it is completely different from his personal contact.

Neither Zhang Bo nor Zhang Xuan dared to interrupt his thinking and waited quietly.

Although Zhang Fu had his eyes closed, he still habitually stroked his beard, and then he suddenly figured it out a little more.

He is more than ten years younger than the emperor, he is already forty-one years old, and the emperor is fifty-five years old.

The emperor also knows that he is old, so he is cultivating the heir of the grandson.

However, for the emperor to delegate power like this, there must be more than that.

Disappeared in the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, Ji Gang was abnormal, hoarded goods, globes, sailors changed to the navy, and Taisun personally led the navy.

Zhang Fu has completely figured out that after conquering the grassland, the emperor has set his sights overseas.

The huge globe he saw in the Jinshen Palace, thinking about those vast worlds, Zhang Fu's heart was suddenly full of pride.

All of a sudden, it doesn't seem to matter anymore, the world is so big, why keep falling in love with that little cochine!

But soon he came to his senses again, the world is the size of the Ming Dynasty, the size of the emperor, not the size of his Zhang family, not the size of his Zhang Fu.

What Zhang can look forward to, what he can look forward to, is only Jiaozhi.

For a while, he seemed to understand a little, why the grandson was willing to let Zhang Jiayongzhen hand over his toes.

Because in the eyes of Taisun, he has far surpassed Jiaozhi, surpassed Nanyang, and become the whole world.

Opening his eyes, he opened his mouth and said: "Send Pomegranate to the palace to deliver the post, and say that you will ask Concubine Zhaoyi and Concubine Jing to return to the province and see how the Zongzheng Mansion arranges." ”

Uncle Zhang asked, "...... such fanfare?"

"Don't worry, the situation is already like this, if I, Zhang Fu, are still afraid, I'm afraid that the emperor will be disappointed in me. In my opinion, I am afraid that they will not be allowed to return to the province, but it is not difficult to arrange for me to meet them in the palace. Maybe I don't have to go through them to meet my grandson. ”

Zhang Xuan muttered and said: "Taisun is now in charge of the navy, and he has been running to Jiajiang, if the eldest brother is just to see Taisun, it will not be difficult to arrange." ”

Zhang Fu shook his head and said with some disappointment: "I want to show my heart to the emperor now, what is the reason for secretly meeting the grandson!" ”

Zhang Yu died early, Zhang Hui was twelve years old at the time, and Zhang Yu was only nine years old.

Seeing Zhang Fu's disappointment, Zhang Wei bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "It's what I thought was simple, and I disappointed my eldest brother."

Zhang Fu sighed: "If my Zhang family can really fight forever, you and your second brother will also have to hold up the door, you must think twice before doing things in the future, and don't be reckless." ”

"I made a note of it."

Zhu Di returned to the palace, still excited, and called Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji to the Jinshen Palace, and the three of them looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the entire wall, as well as the globe.

Today's map of the Ming Dynasty has been based on the map of Asia on the globe, and the territory of the south to Cochin, west to Gansu, north to Siberia, and all the way to the Arctic Ocean has been delineated.

The area of the Eurasian dividing line from Siberia to the Ural Mountains was also painted light yellow by Zhu Di as land to be conquered in the future.

Zhu Zhanji can't remember what country it belongs to now, and Russia doesn't know if it has developed there, but Zhu Di still supports it very much.

"With this cement, where the road of my Ming Dynasty is cultivated, it belongs to the territory of my Ming Dynasty. After that, the army will no longer have to suffer from mud, the speed of the march will be greatly accelerated, and the transportation of baggage can also save half of the people. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Sun Er originally wanted to keep this technology secret, but now he thinks about it wrongly. If the land of Daming is built into a cement road, this cement workshop must be opened all over the Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, not only does the internal supervision not need to be kept secret, but it should also adopt the method of authorization, so that ordinary people can also join in, so as to produce the cement that I urgently need in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "It takes hundreds of thousands of people to burn cement, and so many people abandon their farmland to avoid food shortages. ”

He doesn't need to say that to know. In a country that is based on agriculture, if farming is missed because of the burning of cement, and the people take food as their day, and there is no food, the country will be unstable.

Zhu Zhan basically had a plan in mind, but he hadn't discussed it with Zhang Fu yet, so he didn't mention this plan for now.

He said: "Sun Er thinks that now we should take each state capital as a point, and each state capital will build a batch of cement kilns first, and the number of workers must be controlled below 5,000. hubs, or appropriately expand the number of cement kilns, can not be due to work. ”

Zhu Di nodded and said: "When Kong Cheng calculates the number of kiln workers required for each cement kiln and calculates the best ratio of each formula, he will report to the whole territory at that time." You let the Ministry of Industry plan to ensure that the cement produced can be supplied for use, and you can't miss farming. ”

"Yes."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji agreed so readily, Zhu Di was also a little embarrassed. "Now that you are preparing to build a navy, form a Gewu Academy, and plan for maritime trade, and now you are going to get married, you are really tired."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "My grandson is young and not afraid of being tired. The more things you do now, the more your grandson can know more about all kinds of things, and you won't be deceived by your ministers in the future. ”

This sentence seemed to touch Zhu Di's sore spot again, he glanced at Zhu Gaochi, who was staring at the map, and sighed, after all, he didn't embarrass him again in front of Zhu Zhanji.

He waved his hand and said, "It's not early, you can go back to the palace." On Wang Yan's side, I asked him to directly transfer 200 internal servants with expatriate experience to you, and you can't be tired of yourself when you have to do things. ”

Although Zhu Zhanji wanted to ask him about his intention to reward Kong Cheng so much today, he still didn't ask after thinking about it.

Zhu Di is very similar to him in his previous life, he is the kind of person who is only willing to control the overall situation alone, others should know naturally, and what you shouldn't know will never let you know.

This asymmetry of information is the most important part of the satisfaction of being in power.

So, don't spoil his mood, anyway, even if he doesn't say it, he can guess a little.

When he returned to the palace, Zhu Zhanji instructed Li Liang. "You go and ask Yang Zhangde to check Kong Cheng's identity."

And Zhu Di then received a report from Zongzheng Mansion, and when he learned that Zhang Fuqi begged the two concubines to return to the province, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing. "It turns out that this kid also has a time when he can't hold his breath, so let's announce that he will meet him at the Wuying Palace tomorrow......"

He thought for a while and then said, "Someone will inform the grandson and ask him to come to the Wuying Hall at noon." ”

And when it was almost noon the next day, Zhang Fu had just arrived at Wuyingmen under the leadership of the chamberlain, and met Zhu Zhanji who was waiting at the door.

"Let me personally lead the British Duke in, and you will stand down."

The eunuchs shouted in unison, and no one objected at all.

Zhang Fu looked at Zhu Zhanji's young face, and was surprised by the power in Zhu Zhanji's palace, in the past five years, he still knew less about this palace.

However, at this time, he honestly met Zhu Zhanji, followed Zhu Zhanji to give in, and walked side by side towards Wuying Palace.

Time was limited, Zhang Fu no longer went around in circles, and asked directly: "Is Your Highness's proposal a few days ago still valid?" ”

"Of course, it will be valid until your name is changed."

Zhang Fu's heart moved, and he thanked him: "Thanks to His Highness's help." ”

The knighthoods of the Ming Dynasty all had land titles, and if Zhang Fu was really ordered to Yongzhen Jiaozhi, then his title would definitely be changed, which was also Zhu Zhanji's reassurance.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "I'm not just helping you, but also for the entire Ming Dynasty." The terrain of Jiaozhi is complex, and the ethnic groups are mixed, and if the British can stabilize this place, it will also be a great credit to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Although Zhang Fu knew that he shouldn't ask, he still couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness is not afraid of strong branches and weak branches?" ”

"With the Ming Dynasty and one country against Jiaozhi, if you are still afraid, how can you plot the world?"

"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks ......"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The British prince doesn't have to test me, and there is no need to worry. The world is so big, if Jiaozhi is stable, there will still be other areas in the world. There are always areas where the power of the Ming Dynasty cannot reach. For example, Nanzhou and Xizhou, it takes more than half a year to go back and forth once, and those areas can't be managed by relying only on the imperial court. ”

This is equivalent to telling Zhang Fu clearly that even if Jiaozhi is stable under his governance, the imperial court will leave a way back for the Zhang family to move if it wants to bring Jiaozhi into the management of the imperial court.

So when he heard this promise, Zhang Fu also said sincerely: "Fu is willing to take the reins for His Highness." ”

This sentence is also unmistakably surrendered. At this time, he had already stepped into the gate of Wuying Palace, Zhu Zhanji just smiled and nodded slightly, and walked into the main hall first.
