The departure at midnight, although in a certain sense, is a very happy conversation, but after this conversation, Zhu Changhao has understood that he is actually lonely.

Because Zhu Zhishu doesn't like the power structure model of his palace, he knows that no one in the Ming Empire understands himself, even if he explains to him the "political cabinet" and "military cabinet", as well as the chicken ribs about taxing agriculture, although he agrees verbally, but in his heart, he will never agree with this practice.

In the courtyard of the Shu Palace, Zhu Changhao took a breath of cold air and went directly into his bedroom.

In the bedroom, the fire kang is already boiling hot, although there is a earth dragon below, but Zhu Changhao doesn't like it, after all, the hot earth dragon will make the air in the bedroom hotter and hotter, which will make people lose sleep, and it is enough to have a fire kang.

Dong Wanning didn't fall asleep tonight, she was the concubine who accompanied the prince, the prince didn't sleep, according to what the three outlines and five constants said, then she couldn't sleep.

When he goes out, for the matter of taking a bath, Zhu Changhao thinks that he can save it, and at most, it is good to find a basin of water to wipe his body.

On the round bench in front of the bedroom, Zhu Changhao sat down, and the subordinates of the Shu Wangfu brought hot water in from outside, and Dong Wanning immediately brought the water in, put it under Zhu Changhao's feet, and soaked his feet and pinched his feet.

Zhu Changhao felt the temperature of the soles of his feet, and Wan Ning pinched his feet twice, and looked at himself with that kind of concerned expression, a kind of warmth between husband and wife communicated and merged between each other's eyes.

Especially Wan Ning is now wearing the kind of silk pajamas made by the Ruiwangfu Garment Workshop, just as she bent down and looked in from the lower part of her neck, two vacuum-like flesh pills were exposed to the air, and in the faint light of the candle flame, a trace of charm continued to breed in Zhu Changhao's heart.

Especially now, seeing that Wanning's head was about the same height as the root of her thighs, as well as the hot and humid air flow that came out of her mouth, all of which were sprayed on the "key point" in her crotch, all of a sudden, Xiao Zhu Changhao raised his head, and suddenly, Dong Wanning's face was so red that he lowered his head.

Maybe it's the blessing of the soul, or maybe it's the love of human beings for each other that transcends the barriers of time and space.

Just when Zhu Changhao saw this scene and thought of the word "bite", Dong Wanning suddenly stopped the work of pinching his feet in his hand, gently removed Zhu Changhao's layer of intimate cloth, took out the work in his hand, and pasted his plump lips......

The extreme stimulation made Zhu Changhao's mouth and eyes crooked and constantly inhaled the cold air, and at the moment when he was about to disarm and surrender, the "Neijing" exercise immediately worked, Zhu Changhao looked down at Dong Wanning's flattering face, and suddenly said angrily, "Ning'er is really killing the Quartet tonight, I don't know how powerful your husband is, you watch!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Changhao dragged Wanning's buttocks, and suddenly the soft moan of the beauty spread far and wide in the winter night sky.

The hand-to-hand fight between husband and wife at night finally ended up because of Zhu Changhao's "Neijing Exercises", which made Miss Wanning return with a feather.

Of course, every move of Prince Rui and the princess in the courtyard of the Shu Mansion at night was also reported to Zhu Zhishu by the housekeeper of the courtyard.

At the end of the next day, Zhu Zhishu went to the other courtyard and invited Zhu Changhao and Princess Heping to have lunch together.

After noon today, it is to let Li Zhizao, Qin Ruzhen, Lu Lun and others, and some subordinate officials of the Shu Palace, talk about the agriculture and economic exchanges between the two places.

The most important thing is to spread the Daming Royal Bank all over the Jialing River system, the Yangtze River channel, and the Minjiang River and Tuojiang River basins that can be navigated to the river section behind, after all, as long as the Daming Royal Bank opens to Chengdu, the sphere of influence of the Rui Wangfu will also be extended to Chengdu.

If the Daming Royal Bank is combined with the post stations in Sichuan and Shu, as well as the royal merchants, then it will only be a matter of time before the power of the Sichuan Basin that overhangs the Shu Wangfu will be in the future.

This is equivalent to a kind of "economic aggression", as long as the business model of the Daming Royal Bank, once it blossoms and bears fruit in the land of Sichuan and Shu, it is equivalent to depositing the wealth of the people of Sichuan and Shu in the hands of Zhu Changhao.

Zhu Zhishu and the others are not aware of this kind of crisis now, and in their world, the Daming Royal Bank is just a bigger bank.

In the next three days, Li Zhizao, Qin Ruzhen, and Lu Lun cooperated with the King of Shu in all aspects to communicate.

Especially with the opening of the Jiahan Canal, the iron ore in Shuzhong, as well as the silver ore in the Sichuan-Chongqing area, can now be connected to the Guò Jiahan Canal and directly to Hanzhong.

No wonder there is a saying in the 21st century, called "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have fewer children and grow more trees", and this sentence will not be outdated in that era.

Zhu Changhao knew that in the south of Sichuan and Shu, and in the north of Kunming Prefecture, there was a place called Watanabe County, which was called the Steel City in later generations.

This Watanabe Prefecture is the famous Panzhihua in later generations. There are coal, clay, calcareous sandstone and, most importantly, iron ore.

Now, as long as you spend your own money to buy this piece of land at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, you can not only radiate southern Yunnan and the southwest region in the future, but also complete the distribution of strategic geopolitical forces on the irregular arc from Hanzhong to Annan that is biased towards the southwest.

That is, for the Sichuan-Shu region, the ferry belongs to the southwest, and Hanzhong belongs to the northeast.

Besides, in the past half a year, the road opening team has basically opened the road from Songpanwei to Zhancheng.

That is to say, from the hinterland of the southwest to the Indochina Peninsula, the road that crosses the Hengduan Mountains and crosses the Lancang River, the Nu River, and the Jinsha River has been opened.

Although the road does not look so smooth now, and even some of the roads are simply a catastrophic ruin. In some valley sections, a section of the canyon is directly blown up with gunpowder, and two boulders are plugged into the turbulent river, which is the stone bridge. In some places, because the trees are dense and impassable, the mountains are directly set on fire, and in some places, because the mountains are blown up, dammed lakes are formed.

It is estimated that it will take a hundred years to restore the damage to the natural environment of the three parallel rivers, but fortunately, this road has been opened.

According to the road map drawn by the pioneer team, Zhu Changhao found that these routes were relatively straight, and compared with the past, the way of detouring the winding mountain road did not appear.

In many places, you walk along the river, and the cliffs on both sides of the river are weathered badly due to the perennial interaction between water vapor and sunlight.

In addition, the 8,000-person road-opening team did not have any followers from the Ministry of Engineering, and they were all opening the road according to a certain amount of experience, and the way of opening the road was very barbaric and not standard. Some river valley sections, after a cannon explosion, are simply a square, and some are barely two zhang wide.

In the northwest, the merchants of Sichuan and Shu have now transported goods from this newly opened road to Annan and other places, porcelain, silk, medicinal herbs, and some ironware.

Although it is said that in the Ming Dynasty, the monopoly of salt and iron belongs to the government, but these merchants are attached to the names of the feudal kings in various places, and there is no ambiguity in doing the business of salt and iron.

In these three days, Zhu Changhao wanted to buy the place of the ferry (Panzhihua), which also made the king of Shu quite hesitant.

After Zhu Zhishu inquired about the people in the Shu Wangfu, he got the reply that the ferry is the land of a hundred tribes, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, the people are fierce, and it is difficult for foreigners to gain a foothold in this place.

This ferry, now the king of Shu has the final say, but in legal terms, there must be a document from the Yamen of Heqing Zhizhou in Sichuan before it can be counted.

Zhu Changhao felt that it was best to obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty to do things, so that he could have a solid basis.

When the transfer documents of the Shu Wangfu were stamped with a big seal, Zhu Changhao immediately sent Qin Ruzhen and a housekeeper of the Shu Wangfu to the Yamen of Heqing Zhizhou to handle the contract of the transfer documents.

Originally, Zhu Changhao, who was still thinking of staying in Chengdu for half a month, but when he saw the kind of discipline of the King of Shu, he should go back to Hanzhong.

After a two-day voyage, the ironclad ship finally returned to Hanzhong.

Zhu Changhao also felt that the harvest was quite huge this time, and after telling the subordinate officials of the palace about the income from all aspects of this time, he immediately requested that the 8,000 people of the road development team be used as a mountain army and prepare to go to the ferry (Panzhihua).

On the other side, more than 10,000 people from the fangs operation, driving Wang Daliang, who was less than 1,500 displaced people, now arrived in Mengding Prefecture.

It is estimated that in more than a month, you will be able to reach Nanzhang, or Siam and other places. After sending these people there, the commander of the 15th Regiment of the Qinglong Army, Wang Fuyou, who was in charge of this expulsion mission, would leave enough food, medicinal herbs, and ordnance for Wang Daliang to take root here.

If there is a chance, Wang Daliang may also be subordinated to the command of the Annan guerrilla general Zhu Yeqing.

The place of the ferry is unfamiliar to the subordinate officials of the palace, but Zhu Changhao said that there is a large amount of iron ore here, and the elders of the political cabinet and the military cabinet also understand the thoughts of the prince in their hearts.

Thinking of now, the Ordnance Supervisor has developed an ironclad ship that runs on steam, and after that, it is estimated that steel will be used for shipbuilding, but now the Ming Dynasty cannot build a pure steel warship, after all, the welding process is not up to par.

For the welding process, Zhu Changhao actually thought about how to improve, but he didn't care about it.

When I think of oxygen welding in many urban-rural junctions in the 21st century, I will understand that there is a three-down-five division by two.

Therefore, how to produce oxygen is the primary problem in front of Zhu Changhao, but fortunately, Zhu Changhao understands that cutting magnetic inductance lines can generate current, and current splitting water can produce oxygen and hydrogen.

In the treasure hall of King Rui's mansion, there are several magnets, and after Zhu Changhao let people polish them, he began to make rotors for cutting magnetic lines, as well as copper rings and iron rings.

The resulting electric current is then used to break down the water to produce oxygen and hydrogen. Then the oxygen is collected through guò, and finally the thing is sprayed out, forming a flame, which can be welded.
