Yang Su, who had been feeling cold recently, asked Wang Chengen energetically as soon as he walked out of the door, "Is the address of the new city available?" ”

"In accordance with the emperor's will, the slave maid and Cao Gonggong have carved out a hundred miles of vacant land in Xiongxian, Rongcheng and Anxin counties in Zhili Province to build a new city, and the local people have all moved to Huangzhuang.

Now according to the emperor's will has been summoned from all over the displaced people 200,000 people to work for relief, the people are entering Beijing one after another to go to Xiong'an, the stone can be taken from the mountains next to the capital, the emperor ordered 1.2 million stone grain forest girl has been purchased in the south of the Yangtze River, is being transported to Tianjin through the canal. The preliminary preparations are all completed, and the construction can begin when the craftsmen arrive one after another! Wang Chengen replied methodically.

Wang Chengen also struggled step by step from below to become a eunuch with a pen, not only can serve people, but also is a good hand!

"You must pay attention to the problem of grain, is 1.2 million stones enough for the people and craftsmen to eat the potatoes in Huangzhuang?" Yang Su once again emphasized the food issue.

"The emperor has two months before the potatoes are ripe, and the slave and the maid have repeatedly calculated with Grandpa Cao, and the food is definitely enough!" Wang Chengen swore and promised.

"That's good, you and Huachun are doing things, I don't worry, what about those monks?" Yang Su asked.

"Hehe, more than a dozen Buddhist temples and monks above the gods, together with the Guangji Temple presiding officer Yuanzhen and Cishou Temple presiding officer Miaoyi, as well as the martial monks in the realm of practicing tendons, a total of more than 400 people, intending to resist Tianwei have all been killed on the spot by Jinyiwei, and none of them escaped, and the remaining more than 7,000 monks are all imprisoned in the Beizhen Fusi prison to wait for their fate!" Wang Chengen smiled and asked Yang Su for credit.

"Very good, take all the remaining people to build a new city for me!"

"The emperor can rest assured that the forbidden army has built a large camp in the new city according to the will, and then the two guards will go to the new city to garrison, and the group of monks will not be able to escape!" Wang Chengen said as he trotted forward to help Yang Su lift the curtain.

Yang Su walked into the hall, sat on the dragon chair, waved his hand to shield the left and right, took out a book from the system mall and handed it to Wang Chengen.

"The method of making this cement, you still have to copy a copy first, and hand it over to the craftsmen in the palace to develop, and the materials are still purchased by Miss Lin, with this cement, there is no need to use 50,000 people to take stones from the mountains! The city wall can also be cast with cement, not only the construction time will be greatly reduced, the cost will also be reduced a lot, and it will be stronger, with this cement I Xiong'an New City will surprise everyone! ”

"Your Majesty, this cement has such a miraculous effect and can be used to build a city?" Wang Chengen asked with wide eyes.

The city wall is made of soil, with rammed earth to solidify, rammed to build, with local loess or black soil, with ramming to fasten, layer by layer to solidify, very consuming manpower and material resources, the Ming Dynasty is developed, the economy is prosperous, so it has the ability to burn bricks, the outer skin of the city wall in various places is wrapped with bricks, and it becomes a brick city wall. In the original design, the new city wall would be built for several years with 500,000 people, consuming millions of silver, and the emperor dared to say that cement could reduce construction time and cost, Wang Chengen of course felt incredible.

"You'll understand then!" Yang Su smiled mysteriously.

There have never been secrets in officialdom, and the news that came out of the cabinet that day made the officials happy and sad, and the Donglin officials, who had just been released from prison yesterday and were gathering together for a party, cried heartbreakingly.

The old men of the household department and the military department are happy, and they can increase their income justifiably.

And Sun Chuanting, the unlucky guy who is still idle at home, has also become a joke in the capital, don't expect a good end if he takes refuge in the eunuch party, it seems that he has become a governor from the opposition Langzhong, but Shaanxi is not a good place, every year the natural disasters are so poor that only the rogue remains, and this time Shaanxi may hear the news of his death in a few days.

In fact, the merchants and pirates in the sea are constantly changing according to the strength of the opponent, the most famous of which is the great pirate Zheng Zhilong, with tens of thousands of troops, 3,000 large and small ships, and several times defeated the fleet of the Dutch East India Company, since then control the sea routes, collect the cost of merchant ships from various countries, Zheng Zhilong also quickly became rich and captivated, as if he was called the lord and sea overlord of southern Fujian, began to collect protection fees, a broken flag sold for 3,000 taels can only be used once. Moreover, following the example of the imperial court to set up officials in Taiwan, he can already be regarded as a warlord. At that time, even the imperial court could not exterminate Zheng Zhilong, so he could only appease him.

Zheng Zhilong's power has been getting bigger and bigger since the first year of Chongzhen's enlightenment, and the East India Company has been overwhelmed, and today he is preparing to exterminate Liu Xiang, the only pirate who can barely fight against him, with the Guangdong sailors, so that one person can dominate the South Seas!

Everything today is as Zheng Zhilong expected, although Liu Xiang has the help of foreigners, but he is still not his opponent, although the battle situation seems to be anxious, but it is just Liu Xiang's trapped beast fighting, they have faintly gained the upper hand, and when Liu Xiang's remnants dissipate with the fanaticism launched by the foreign priest, it is when they are defeated, when Liu Xiang, the sworn brother, dies, from now on, he alone has the final say, Zheng Zhilong can't help but smile excitedly when he thinks of this.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong suddenly found that a large group of aquarists suddenly appeared underwater, besieging his ship, although several giant whales up to 100 meters long were suppressed by the military qi, but with their huge bodies alone, one tail can overturn the ship, in just half an hour of effort, Zheng Zhilong lost more than a dozen big boats, and although the aquarium was also damaged, it was not harmful, Liu Xiang took the opportunity to escape.

Zheng Zhilong was shocked, regardless of the risk of being shelled, he walked to the flagship deck, and shouted to the water tribe, "I am the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am exterminating the pirates today, I don't know which way the soldiers and horses of the water tribe are underwater, why do you want to attack our Ming warship?" ”

"I am Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and today I am fighting your Ming army! The Ming Dynasty didn't say that he killed my sixth brother, but he dared to kill three dragon kings of my dragon clan in a row, do you really think that my dragon clan is easy to bully! Today, I, Ao Bing, came to intercept you on the orders of my father, and when my East China Sea clan army comes, you will not return! You Ming Dynasty are waiting for the revenge of my dragon clan! Ao Bing shouted loudly, but he didn't dare to show his head in the face of the army, hiding under the water to control the water tribe to continue to besiege the Ming army.

Zheng Zhilong pointed to the ship of the Guangdong Navy Division aggrievedly and shouted to Ao Bing, "I, Zheng Zhilong, have been paying tribute to the East China Sea all the year round, although I am wearing the skin of the Ming army, but I have nothing to do with the Ming army, the third prince, you have misunderstood!" The Guangdong sailor over there is the Ming army you are looking for! I will leave and not interfere in the affairs of the third prince and the Ming army, and ask the third prince to give me Zheng Zhilong a face, and I will thank you when I turn back! ”

"Zheng Zhilong, you are my fellow governor of the Ming Dynasty, and now you are ungrateful to leave your allies and flee, you must not die well!" The commander of the Guangdong Navy Division was shocked when he heard Zheng Zhilong's words, and shouted angrily.

Although the Guangdong sailors dispatched this time to exterminate the pirates, they actually came to help Zheng Zhilong, so that Zheng Zhilong could take the opportunity to dominate the South Seas.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong led the army to withdraw from the battlefield, Ao Bing hurriedly commanded the Shui tribe to besiege the remaining Ming ships, without Zheng Zhilong's tens of thousands of troops, Ao Bing even came out of the water and said to Zheng Zhilong; "Zheng Zhilong, this prince remembers who you are! Okay, let's go! ”

"Thank you, the third prince, I heard that the third prince likes the beauties of my human race, and on the next day of tribute, I will definitely offer hundreds of more beauties for the third prince to enjoy!" Zheng Zhilong said generously.

"Okay, okay, this prince will make you a friend!" Ao Binglong's head showed a hideous smile, and he manipulated the water tribe again, "The little ones go up and overturn all their boats and eat these mortals!" ”

Watching the Shui Clan under the command of Ao Bing constantly overturn the ships of the Ming Army, slaughter the Ming Army in the water, and ignore them leaving, Zheng Zhilong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although he was not afraid of the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea in front of him, but he was unwilling to fight with the Dragon Clan, after all, he still had to eat at sea.

"Big brother, if you abandon the Ming army like this, what should you do if you are punished by the court when the time comes!" Zheng Zhihu asked worriedly.

"Hmph, the Guangdong sailors of the imperial court are gone, what can I do! The Ming army will definitely be wiped out today, and if there are no witnesses, I will say that they were all killed by Liu Xiang, and the emperor will definitely have to continue to appease me, otherwise who will defend them against the Dutch and pirates! Liu Xiang is my great enemy, and if he doesn't die, I won't be at ease! Zheng Zhilong waved his hand nonchalantly and commanded the fleet to continue to pursue Liu Xiang!
