Zheng Kezhang could ask the inner court to transfer the business that made a profit of at least 20 million yuan a year, of course, not to make a quick buck, but to promote hydraulic machinery as much as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for the widespread use of steam engines in the future and start the process of industrialization in China. It's just that the Inner Court Manager's Office is absolutely reluctant to give up this big fortune, and coupled with the continuous shortage of domestic money, so except for the yarn field and weaving field that Zheng Kezhang explicitly ordered to allocate to Zheng Andi's father and son, the Inner Court Manager's Office did not sell any yarn field and weaving field to domestic businessmen at all.

However, paper could not keep the fire, and even if the inner court manager strictly guarded it, the secret of hydraulic machinery continued to circulate in the next ten years6, and then set off a widespread industrial storm in the country.

In this storm, not only was the 16-column spinning machine of the Inner Court Textile Bureau finally improved into an 84-column hydraulic spinning machine, but also similar water-powered oil presses, water-powered flour grinding machines, and water-powered rice mills were also used in a small workshop to be applied on a factory-level scale, thus leading China to enter the stage of real primary industrialization ahead of other countries in the next 40 years.

Of course, Zheng Kezang, who planted the fire, did not know where the changeable future would go, and now Zheng Kezang, who had done what he could, was watching the ministers run the crown prince's canonization ceremony with a cold sidestander attitude.

Is Zheng Kezhang unwilling to lose power? Yes, although he promised to retire, he was not willing to give up this lightly, having enjoyed the taste of supreme power. Fortunately, for a founding monarch who mastered the army, even if Zheng Kezhang gave up the supreme position, he was still a man of his word??????

In June and July of the 23rd year of Wucheng in China, all the Zheng clansmen who had established the domain overseas returned to Wuchang.

The return of the clan relatives marks that the crown prince's canonization ceremony has entered the final countdown, but in the eyes of everyone who are either regretful or happy, it is Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyu who are the first to be sealed.

On July 19 of that year, the emperor's eldest son, Zheng Andi, was renamed the Duke of Chu from the Duke of Qi, and at the same time promoted to the king of Chao'an County. Although the title of King of Chao'an County cannot be hereditary, Zheng Andi became the first king among Zheng Kezang's sons.

On the same day, the third son of the emperor, Zheng Anyu, was also crowned, and his title was changed from the Duke of Jian Guo to the Duke of Zhao Guo, and at the same time he was promoted to the king of Ning'an County.

Since the two princes got the prince of the country and the prince of the county, the other princes naturally could not be left behind, so on July 25 of that year, the fourth son of the emperor Zheng Anfeng was crowned as the Duke of Xuanguo, the fifth son of the emperor Zheng Anqiao was crowned as the Duke of Yunguo, the sixth son of the emperor Zheng Anche was crowned as the Duke of Xiangguo, the seventh son of the emperor Zheng Anmiao was crowned as the Duke of Peng, and the ninth son of the emperor Zheng Anxi was crowned as the Duke of Kang Guo.

Two days later, the tenth son of the emperor Zheng Anqu was crowned as the Duke of Luo, the eleventh son of the emperor Zheng Anze was crowned the Duke of Qianguo, the twelfth emperor Zheng Anchun was crowned the Duke of Shao, and the thirteenth son of the emperor Zheng Anfan was crowned as the Duke of Cen Guo; Zheng Anwei, the 14th son of the 13-year-old emperor, was promoted to the Duke of Xunyang County by the Duke of Hefeng County, Zheng Anbo, the 15th Emperor who was only 11 years old, was awarded the title of Baokang County, the 16th son of the 10-year-old Emperor Zheng Anbo was awarded the title of Duke of Linli County, and the 17th son of the Emperor, who was also 10 years old, was awarded the title of Duke of Shangcheng County??????

Even the six-year-old emperor's twentieth son Zheng Anting, the five-year-old emperor's twenty-first son Zheng Anxiao, the three-year-old emperor's twenty-second son Zheng Anxuan, the two-year-old emperor's twenty-third son Zheng Anxuan and the newborn emperor's twenty-fourth son Zheng Anjie also got the title of county marquis in advance, but according to the Chinese system, only after they enter the young martial arts, Juetian will be officially awarded, but Zheng Anyang, who has become the heir emperor at that time, will definitely not embarrass these young brothers.

In addition to the prince's share, the sons of Zheng Anfeng, Zheng Anzhu, Zheng Anche, Zheng Anmiao and others also obtained the title of county prince, as for Zheng Andi's eldest son Zheng Pingsong, second son Zheng Pingbai and Zheng Anyang's eldest son Zheng Pingli, and second son Zheng Pinghui were promoted from the county to the title of county marquis at one time.

In this canonization, the only one who was missing was Zheng Anyang, but by this time, everyone understood what was going on - yes, Zheng Anyang was not deliberately omitted, but the position he was about to get was the crown prince who could not even be compared with the prince and the prince of the county - the result of the second son taking the heir was no longer a secret for a few people in the end.

More than a month passed, during which the Khalkha, Xilin Gol, Jelimu, Heshute, Tibetan Khan and other Mongolian internal vassals congratulated envoys, as well as the Inner Domains of Changdao, Boni, the East Indies, the Yizhou Inner Domain, the Southern Burma Inner Domain, Korea, Japan, Annam, Vietnam, Chenla, Champang, Siam, Burma, Aceh, Palembang, Jampe, Banten, Mataram, Goa, Dedradi, Alakan, Lankotai, Daupan and the Great and Small Panpan Foreign Domains, the French Envoys, and the Spanish Envoys gathered in Wuchang Mansion. In a short period of time, it created a prosperous scene of all nations coming to the dynasty.

On August 20, the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince was officially held, and Zheng Kezhang boarded the noon court gate to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. Under the watchful eye of the public, Prime Minister Chen Ke read the edict of canonization. Subsequently, Zheng Kezhang personally awarded the crown prince's treasure and crown robe to Zheng Anyang, who was kneeling in front of him, and after Zheng Anyang bowed three times and bowed nine times, he retreated and changed his clothes.

After Zheng Anyang, who had changed into the prince's clothes, reappeared and kowtowed to Zheng Kezhang again, Zheng Kezhang personally helped him up and appeared in front of the ministers hand in hand. The princes and ministers outside the gate of the noon dynasty immediately called long live to Zheng Kezang Mountain and called the prince Chitose to Zheng An Yangshan. At this time, Zheng Kezhang left Zheng Anyang to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, and he returned to the dormitory with great interest.

The complacent Zheng Anyang did not notice Zheng Kezang's melancholy, and still returned to the East Palace with great interest, and once again accepted the worship of civil and military ministers, internal and external women. However, the queen Chen Qian happened to understand Zheng Kezang's mood and came to appease him in person, and the old couple hugged each other and sat without saying a word, and spent an afternoon in silence.

The next day, Zheng Anyang continued to receive congratulations from his internal and external vassals and foreign envoys in the East Palace. In the process of congratulating him, Zheng Anyang adhered to Zheng Kezang's intention and announced to the envoys of the Mongolian vassals that he would go north to Chengde in three days, meet with the Mongolian ministers, and accept the title of the Great Khan of Mongolia, becoming the supreme protector of the Mongolian tribe.

Not to mention how the envoys and vassal lords who returned after the canonization ceremony publicized this grand ceremony, Zheng Kezhang summoned Zheng Anyang to the dormitory the night before he left for the north.

"Prince, at the beginning of next year, I will tour Hunan, Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan in the south, and go to have a stick of incense with your grandfather and great-grandfather." Zheng Kezhang said so. "On the way back, take a walk around Zhejiang, Jiangnan and Jianghuai."

Zheng Anyang knew that this was Zheng Kezang who wanted to go out to patrol the world in the name of the crown prince, that is, to declare his identity to the local government, but also to let himself have a comprehensive understanding of the domestic situation, and when he returned, he was afraid that he would have to preside over the overall government affairs during the transition period, so he should be very happy and readily agreed, but he couldn't help but consider Zheng Kezang's feelings, so in the end he just chose to respond in the most bland tone: "The son obeys his father's orders." ”

"After the Zen throne ceremony, I will tour the north, and I will live in the Tianjin Palace in the future." Zheng Kezhang didn't want the father and son to be crowded together, so when he saw that Zheng Anyang was quite interesting, he took the initiative to leave the palace in Phoenix Mountain.

"Father, no," Zheng Anyang was surprised, but said in his mouth. "It's better to stay in Wuchang and let my son be filial piety nearby."

"No need, if you are a good emperor, you will be the greatest filial piety to me." Zheng Kezhang sighed. "Perhaps, in the future, I will build some palaces in Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, and Jianghuai, and go south to avoid the cold in winter, and go north to cool off on the summer solstice, in short, I will not interfere too much in the affairs of the imperial court, you can rest assured."

Don't interfere much, that is to say, you still have to interfere, Zheng Anyang, who heard the sound outside the strings, said helplessly: "My son is new to politics, how can he leave his father's teachings, and ask his father to stay in Wuchang, and his son still asks for advice day and night." ”

"Everything is from unfamiliar to familiar, I believe that the prince can be a good family member." Zheng Kezhang once again refused Zheng Anyang's retention, and just asked. "These days, Zhenguan is still staying in Wuchang, but after the Zen throne ceremony, he will always be allowed to leave, and the prince has figured out how to deal with the king of Chao'an."

Zheng Anyang is indeed a little uncomfortable for Zheng Andi, an old opponent, to continue to stay in Wuchang, but Zheng Kezhang is right, Zheng Andi still has to show his face at the Zen throne ceremony, and it is not appropriate to send the abbot back now. Thinking of the unwillingness of this powerful competitor to bow down to him before, Zheng Anyang showed a strange smile on his face. But when he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, Zheng Anyang was a little puzzled, what did Zheng Kezhang mean by this?

I don't know what kind of medicine Zheng Kezang sells in the gourd, Zheng Anyang hesitated to tempt: "Father, the son thinks that the king of Chao'an County is the king of the clan, and he should be crowned as the abbot's domain." ”

Of course, Zheng Andi is not the only king of the Zheng clan, nor is he the only king of the abbot colony, but as far as he was once a strong contender for the position of the crown prince, it makes sense to call him the king of the clan, but Zheng Anyang's mention was denied by Zheng Kezang: "Nonsense, you are the crown prince now, and the emperor in the future, you have to stand in the position of the overall situation to deal with this matter." ”

Zheng Anyang was more confused, and he had no choice but to ask Zheng Kezhang for advice: "Please also ask my father for advice." ”

"You brothers are not close, and I know it, but I am not worried about conflicts with each other in the future, but what about three generations later?" Zheng Kezhang said with some heaviness. "In addition to the territory recovered from you, the territory of the Zhenguan is already the largest in the abbot, if it is sealed again, what if the descendants of the future generations have evil thoughts?" Zheng Anyang gasped, he didn't know until this time that Zheng Kezhang was so ruthless. "It's not just that Zhenguan can't be sealed anymore, all the abbots can only shrink and can't be sealed, as for the compensation from Zhenguan's side, let him return the abbot's territory, and then you will give him Wu Qiao and Dai Yu, the mountains and rivers over there are far away, let him be the king for generations."

Zheng Anyang nodded heavily: "My son understands??????"
