The two Zhu Houzhao brothers and Mu Bin and Bai Xiaode sat down in the lobby, and the two Zhu Houzhao brothers arched their hands to the two, and Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "The two of you have worked hard this time." The two of them returned the salute, "Don't dare." ”

Then the two talked about what they had seen and heard about this trip to Shandong, and the two Zhu Houzhao brothers also changed their emotions with the narration of Mu Bin and Bai Xiaode. When talking about military households, Mu Bin and Bai Xiaode couldn't help but have serious expressions, and the military households were so poor that they had surpassed their previous cognition of military households. When it came to the fact that many military families didn't even have clothes, and I heard that they could change from military households to civilian households, the kind of strong, hysterical, and soul-to-soul catharsis, Zhu Houzhao's two brothers also became heavy.

When it came to the last wave of transportation of more than 5,000 people, Mu Bin and the others spoke very carefully. This time, the Dengzhou Navy Division dispatched all 20 sand boats, as well as some Cangshan boats, and the Fu boat and the No. 2 Fu boat did not appear in the transport team because the draft was too deep. Zhu Houwei was very interested in the ship of the Dengzhou Sailor, and Bai Xiaode couldn't help but say a few more words.

The type of sand boat is very special, square head, square tip, flat bottom, shallow draft, its length-width ratio is large, with the characteristics of wide, large, flat and shallow. This type of boat is not afraid of the beach, and can sail in the sea area on the sandy seabed, as well as in rivers and lakes. The bottom of the sand boat is flat and can sit on the beach, and it is not afraid of running aground. Safe in the wind and waves. Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, it is less affected by the tide and is safer. The sand boat has a tall mast and high sails, which is conducive to the wind, and it has a shallow draft and low resistance, so it can sail quickly on the sea. The sand boat can not only sail with the wind, but also sail against the wind, and even sail against the wind and water, with good seaworthiness. The sand boat has good sailing performance, and the seven-level wind can sail without hindrance, and can withstand waves, so the sand boat can sail far. The carrying capacity of the sand boats is also an advantage, depending on the size of the boat, it is basically between 300 tons and 800 tons, and this transportation is thanks to these sand boats, otherwise so many people need too many river boats.

Even if there are more than 20 ships, it can be regarded as a relatively large fleet, especially the people carried on it are basically people, and as soon as they entered Tianjin, they attracted onlookers. After going ashore in the capital, such a large group of people had a very high rate of turning back wherever they went. In order to maintain order on the way, Jin Yiwei was very attentive. This is in the capital, once there is chaos, even if the matter is big, it will basically not be able to escape that knife at that time. Fortunately, they had already been sent to Huangzhuang, and most of the brocade guards had put down a boulder in their hearts.

This time the action has basically been finished, and none of the four of them spoke, thinking about something. In the end, Zhu Houwei said, "Let's go back first, Commander Mou, don't withdraw the people of Jinyiwei first, now there are so many people in Zhuangzi at once, you must keep an eye on it, but there can be no accidents." ”

Mu Bin and Bai Xiaode both got up to say goodbye. Zhu Houzhao was still bowing his head and was silent, Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "What's the matter, what are you thinking about so distracted, Mr. Bai is back, you don't have the idea of fighting Bai Yulian anymore, be careful that Mr. Bai and you are desperate." Zhu Houzhao raised his head when he heard this, and said urgently, "What Bai Yulian, I didn't think about her, what are you talking nonsense." Zhu Houwei jokingly said, "Then what are you thinking, Commander Mu and Mr. Bai have left and left, and people have given you a salute, but they don't see you return the salute." ”

Zhu Houzhao also smiled at this time, and understood that Zhu Houwei was teasing him, Zhu Houzhao paused for a while before saying, "You also heard it just now, what kind of life are the military households, how can there be more than 1 million households in Shandong, only 2,000 people came this time, and the military households are only 300,000, but 5,000 people came, this is only a thousand households, and the other health offices are estimated to be about the same, do you say that the strategy of the grandfather (Zhu Yuanzhang) back then was wrong?" Zhu Houwei first frowned and listened, and after listening, he looked at Zhu Houzhao with an incredible expression, and said with his body slightly backwards, "When did you start caring about national affairs so heartlessly, and the sun came out of the west today?" ”

"Can you stop, this is serious with you." Zhu Houzhao said angrily. Zhu Houwei also put away his smiling face, and said, "I don't think so, the Wei system was indeed very popular at the time, and it was also very successful, but it was almost 150 years, and the policy at that time was not necessarily suitable for the current situation, just think that the government military system of the Tang Dynasty was indeed very effective when the dynasty opened, but it was a little out of place in the later period, when the government soldiers were poor, and let them prepare their own weapons and armor, which was very unrealistic, and finally the Tang Dynasty died, and the Song Dynasty changed the system and chose the box soldier system, and the initial effect was also significant. But at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the box soldiers were basically equal to the refugee camps, where there was a famine, a big drought or something, so they stuffed people into the box soldiers, and as a result, the box soldiers had no combat effectiveness. All dynasties and dynasties have been this kind of problem that has changed and changed, and our Ming Dynasty is no exception. Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, "Then we will change?" Zhu Houwei hurriedly shook his hands, "You wait a minute, don't move this thing easily, you can only take it slowly, you see that 5,000 people are coming this time, sooner or later, all the people in those guards will be drawn, you have to take it easy, otherwise you will fall on your heels." ”

"But listening to what Mr. Bai told me, I panicked, and I wanted to do something." Zhu Houzhao sighed

Zhu Houwei glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "The country's policy is not to move when it is said, there must be foreshadowing in front, otherwise if there is a mistake, it will hurt the muscles and bones." The Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is still used today, how great is this political achievement? But you also know his historical evaluation, why? He was in too much of a hurry. ”

Zhu Houzhao stopped talking, and his eyes were closed. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes again, regained his former demeanor, and said to Zhu Houwei, "Let's go, go and see the people in the house who came back from Shandong." Zhu Houwei smiled and followed Zhu Houzhao out of Guanzhuang Mansion.

After a while, I found 100 first-term students who went to Shandong, none of them were missing, and there were no injuries, but a few of them did not look very good, because they were seasick and dizzy, and they had not recovered yet.

100 people, led by Huang Juan, came to greet the ceremony, "I have seen the eldest young master, the second young master." Zhu Houzhao smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, let's be exempt." Then he glanced at the crowd for a while, and then said, "It's all good, I didn't mess things up, and the people are much more mature, and they look similar to those who are officials." Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhu Houwei was also very satisfied with this group of people, although it was much darker for both men and women, but in his eyes, it looked even more cute. After a while, Zhu Houzhao said, "Okay, let's get ready to go home, each person will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver, and he will rest for two days when he returns home." "Young Master Xie, Second Young Master."

Zhu Houwei said to Huang Juan at this time, "When you go back, tell us about what happened on the road." "Yes, Second Young Master." Huang Juan bowed her hand and saluted.

Of the people from Fushan, 500 people lived in the new courtyard, and the others had to make do in makeshift sheds first, but fortunately, the weather had warmed up and they could barely survive the night.

After returning from Huangzhuang, the two brothers first went to Zhu's mansion and then returned to the palace. Zhu Houwei was holding two booklets in his hand, one was Bai Xiaode's and the other was Huang Juan's, all of which were recorded in Shandong. Zhu Houwei can't go far now, and if he wants to know about the Ming Dynasty outside the capital, reading these two booklets is a good choice.

After dinner, the father and son began to chat, talking about the trip to Shandong, Hongzhi also became very serious, when talking about the life of the military household, Hongzhi became even more sunk, after Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Hongzhi said self-deprecatingly, "Since the succession, I am also conscientious, without the slightest relaxation, so many years, the courtiers are saying that Hongzhi Zhongxing, praise me is a Mingjun" suddenly aggravated the tone, and anger appeared on his face, "What Hongzhi Zhongxing, what Mingjun, ridiculous, ridiculous." "The first time the two brothers saw Hongzhi have such a big fire, they didn't dare to speak, their father's love is like a mountain, but their father's majesty is as heavy as a mountain. After a while, Hongzhi's face slowed down, Zhu Hou took care of Hongzhi's calmness, and then said, "Daddy doesn't need to be angry, Li Ziyu at the beginning, Mr. Li said that Daddy should not be angry, Daddy should take care of himself." ”

Hongji nodded, "Isn't he in Xiao Li Village, speaking of which, Daddy hasn't seen him in person?" ”

Zhu Houzhao replied, "Mr. Li left, saying that he was going to the south this year, there are many medicinal materials in the south, and there are many varieties, and he wants to go to see it to increase his knowledge so that he can organize it into books in the future." Hongji smiled slightly, "He's a man who does things, not bad." Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houwei again, and said with a smile, "Houwei, why don't you speak?" ”

Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "The child thinks that there is nothing wrong with what the courtiers said, at that time, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be very chaotic, and there can be officials who were beaten to death by other officials when they were in the court, and the north also hit directly to the edge of the capital, (the change of the civil fort, but the ugly thing of Grandpa Hongzhi, Zhu Houwei is not easy to say too clearly) and then there is the battle for the throne, in short, the border is not stable to the mainland, and when it comes to Grandpa Xianzong, it can be regarded as a stop, but there are still traitors in the court, until Daddy is here, The Ming Dynasty can be regarded as settling down, the capital in the customs is peaceful, and the people in the north have also been beaten back, and the people can live a peaceful life. Daddy is very easy-going with the courtiers, and he can listen to their advice, not to punish crimes, the emperors of the past and present, can do these with one hand can be counted, Daddy has governed the government for so many years, and it is basically a good development, even if a problem is found, it is not unique to this dynasty, it is left over from the previous dynasties, if Daddy is not Mingjun, then who else is? ”

After listening to this, Hongzhi smiled and pointed at Zhu Houwei, his expression quickly thawed, he shook his head slightly, and did not say anything. Zhu Houzhao also agreed beside him, and what his younger brother said was exactly what he thought.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houwei came to the East Palace, preparing to take classes with Zhu Houzhao. At this time, not long after the palace door opened, Master Yang had not yet come, and a brocade guard came to the East Palace, kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, Second Highness, someone set fire to the Huangzhuang yesterday, the fire was fierce, and the supervision of Weichen was not effective, and the crime deserved death." ”

"What?" "What kind of system."
