Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, it is too noisy to sit in this car, the carriage is a wooden cabinet with two doors open, if you make a passenger car, I am afraid that you have to decorate it well." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I'm afraid that I can't take care of the sound for a while, at most I can only make the carriage more airtight, and now the focus is on speed and safety." Don't rush, take your time. By the way, Wang Chengen, introduce the train in the newspaper, explain the principle, don't let everyone think that it is a monster, and pay attention along the railway, so that people can't destroy the sleepers or something. The Yellow Army Department transferred a part of the soldiers from Gongji City to form a railway patrol and was responsible for the safety of the railway. ”

Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, the matter of railway patrol is very easy, because the railway is not long now, and there are not many people needed, but the matter of changing the guard army, where to start?" ”

Changing the health system is a long-term process. Because the number of guards was not large enough, they could only change the guard from place to place. And where to start the change of defense, there have always been two opinions. One is to start changing guards from Yulin and other towns, and the other is to start changing guards from Xuanfu and other towns.

Both programs have their own groups of people to support. Xiang Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao thought that they should change their defenses from Xuanfu Town first, because the Mongols were not a big threat now. Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang believed that they should start to change the defense from Yulin Town, so that the largest non-guard army of the Ming Dynasty could be pulled to Shaanxi and the power of the generals in western Liaoning should be weakened to the greatest extent.

Both sides have their own reasons, so Zhu Youxiao doesn't know what to do. So he asked, "Did Elder Sun Ge reply?" ”

Huang Kezhang said: "Wang Jingluo replied that he should change the guard from Yulin Town first, and Sun Ge Lao was on the way back, and he didn't know if he received the letter. ”

Sun Chengzong has been in Fujian for nearly two years, and has basically stabilized the situation in Fujian, the Dutch, and the Portuguese are very quiet, so Zhu Youxiao summoned him back to the center, and Fujian is now temporarily in charge of Nan Juyi.

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "Let's wait for Elder Sun Ge to come back or reply to the letter." Let Sun Zushou practice seriously and wait for the change of guard. The Qin army in Shaanxi also had to carry out Guard-style training, and then replace the guards on the spot. ”

Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go to Fujian to have a look." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "What's the matter, I've never seen the sea?" ”

Huang Kezhang said: "It is true that the minister has not seen the sea, but the minister wants to go to Fujian because he wants to deal with foreigners, and by the way, let's see if it is feasible to attack Annam and other places from the sea." ”

Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "Why did you suddenly remember to fight Annan?" ”

Huang Kezhang thought to himself, haven't you always wanted to fight Annan? Didn't Annan hand over Luzhou last time just to keep a tail and have an excuse to attack at any time? Now that the south is settled, he can attack Annam at any time, and he doesn't want to miss such an opportunity.

Huang Kezhang said: "Annan has always been disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, and last time there was an attack on the Ming Dynasty, the minister was worried that they would invade again, so he wanted to prevent it first." ”

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "You can go to Fujian, but first you must ensure the tranquility of Taiwan and the southern sea, the Dutch and the Portuguese are obedient, and then you can capture Annam and Zhancheng at any time, and I will go all the way to the Strait of Malacca, which is the territory of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Huang Kezhang is overjoyed, he is a typical main battle faction, and he can't wait for the whole world to become the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor agrees with him to go to Fujian, and says that he wants to occupy the whole south, which is naturally exactly what he wants.

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "If you go to the south, who will the military department hand over?" ”

Huang Kezhang said: "The two Sun Ge elders both know the soldiers, and they rely on Your Majesty's holy judgment. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said to Mao Yuanyi: "You guys change the locomotive according to what you just said, and after the change, I will try it myself, I hope it won't shake as much as it is today." In addition, the matter of weapons cannot be put down, how are the students of the graduate school doing? ”

Mao Yuanyi replied: "Master Bi is mainly responsible for the development of weapons, so please ask Your Majesty to ask him." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at him deeply and said, "Not bad." By the way, I heard that you took two famous prostitutes as concubines, both of them are stunning? ”

Mao Yuanyi sighed in his heart, why did the emperor suddenly ask about this? Is it intentional for Yang Wan and Wang Wei? How good is that?

The dirty thoughts in his heart had not yet been finished, and Zhu Youxiao said again: "Since you have accepted someone else as a concubine, you must treat it well." Others are also living people raised by their parents, and they can't be treated as objects. ”

Mao Yuanyi knew that he was thinking badly, and hurriedly replied: "The minister will obey the holy decree and will definitely treat the concubines at home well." ”

Zhu Youxiao just remembered that Mao Yuanyi's concubine was a prostitute and was very famous, so he thought of the question of the teacher of the women's school: "I want to open a women's school in the capital, I don't know if Mao Qing is willing to let them teach in the school." ”

Mao Yuanyi was a little hesitant in her heart, worried that Yang Wan and the others would be discriminated against, but the emperor specifically asked about the matter, and it was obviously not good if she didn't agree.

Zhu Youxiao saw his reluctance, and said: "Otherwise, Mao Qing will discuss it with them after he goes back, if he really doesn't want to, I won't force it." ”

At this time, although the women did not go out of the door and did not step out of the second door, there were indeed very few people who went out to be female teachers, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would not have hit Yang Wan and them.

As soon as he said this, Mao Yuanyi had no choice but to reply: "The minister is willing to let them come to the school to teach." ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "That's not the case. You have to ask them themselves, if they want, they can become full-fledged female teachers after a period of training in the women's class of the Normal School. If they don't want to, you must not force them. ”

Mao Yuanyi didn't quite understand what the emperor meant for a while, but he could only promise to retreat.

At this time, someone came to report that Sun Chuanting had arrived in Tongzhou and was asking to see the emperor outside. Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and said, "Hurry up and let him come." ”

As soon as Sun Chuanting came in, he knelt down on the ground and said: "The minister has not seen Tianyan for many years, and he misses the teachings of the saint every day, and today he can finally return to the capital, and he can see Tianyan every day and listen to the holy jade sound, which is really a great blessing in life." ”

This naked sycophant made Huang Kezhang next to him a little unbearable, thinking that Sun Gechen heard that he was a good man with iron bones, ruthless, and decisive, but he didn't expect that he was such a person who had no discipline and flattered the emperor.

He was a little wronged by Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor in his twenties, and he had already become a cabinet member at the age of thirty-two, and his gratitude to the emperor was indeed genuine.
