It's not superstition, if it's superstition, Zhu Yongxing won't use Yingtai as a residence. You know, the emperor was imprisoned there.

The Purple Light Pavilion is a place for small pilgrimages and foreign envoys; Wucheng Hall is the office of the Prime Minister's Office, Wanshan Hall was changed back to Chongzhi Palace, and the enshrined Buddha statue of the third generation has been moved away as Zhu Yongxing's office; The harem lives in the South China Sea, with the Centipede Bridge as the boundary, dividing the entire Zhongnanhai into two parts: handling government affairs and living and living.

The residence of the personnel has long been determined, the house and the palace have also been cleaned, Mengzhu and the others only feel that this place is very big, because of the inconvenience of the body, there is no four to enjoy, only the two little princesses are happy and happy, with a few guards, palace maids all over the garden to play. I've seen enough here, and I've entered the Forbidden City again, and after a few days, I'm really tired enough.

Zhu Yongxing just walked around casually, familiar with the name and location of the lower palace pavilion, and began to concentrate on handling government affairs. In fact, the emperor, although he has thousands of people, is directly commanded by only a few dozen courtiers, which is almost the same as a platoon commander managing dozens of soldiers.

In fact, the most important work at present is essentially to accumulate money and food, yes, if there is enough money and food, you can fight in Liaodong, instead of the current steady oppression; If you have enough money and food, you can stretch your strength in the northwest, recover the Hetao or continue westward to Jiayu Pass, repeating the territory of the early Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the statistics of various places, the actual situation is much better than expected. Not to mention the number of military tuns, from the two provinces of Mei and He, it has become a well-deserved granary; The next areas that showed a rapid growth momentum were Huguang, Jiangnan, and Sichuan, and the resettlement of displaced people from the north greatly increased the number of acres of land ploughed in the spring this year, and the wounds of the war were also rapidly recovering.

Sichuan and Huguang should be in the northwest. The strategy of rebuilding the northeast and north with the Mekong, the He, and Jiangnan branches is now gradually becoming a reality.

Because of the stimulus of the war, as well as a series of industrial and commercial preferential policies such as the government's relaxation of maritime trade restrictions and encouragement of factories, mining, smelting, processing and manufacturing, textile and other industries were the first to recover. Strong momentum; In terms of reclamation, due to the reduction of the tax burden and the supply of overseas grain, the people of Yunnan Province and Sichuan, which were the first to recover, began to reduce the planting area of agricultural crops and changed to planting tea and mulberry in order to obtain greater economic benefits.

The government has regulations on the cultivation of crops and cash crops, not only in quantity. Moreover, the taxes paid for the cultivation of cash crops are high. As long as he does not violate the regulations, Zhu Yongxing is not prepared to intervene, after all, this is the economic law at work, and it has not caused much impact.

In fact, if there is enough food, he will also approve the request for a variety of sugar cane and cotton in the two provinces. In terms of exports and economic benefits, this is indeed very tempting.

Next year! Zhu Yongxing approved the decision of Zong Shouyi, the governor of the Mekong and Hehe rivers, and this year the proportion of newly reclaimed land for grain cultivation still maintained 70 percent. The people live on food. The people must be fed first and then think about the rest. As for the use of troops against Annan, Zong Shouyi's twists and turns are also mentioned. Within ten months, the army will be mobilized in place, and a thunderous blow will fall on the head of the Zheng clan of Annam.

After eliminating the Zheng clan of Annam, Burma, or Luzon, Zhu Yongxing had already set a series of targets for the army. Judging from the distance and difficulty, it seems that it is more convenient to attack Burma. There is no need to travel across the ocean, and there is a steady stream of support from the mainland; In the case of Luzon, the wealth amassed by the Spaniards, the local copper and gold mines are also eye-catching, not to mention that such an attack has a stronger revenge nature.

It also depends on the attitude of Zheng Jing in Taiwan! Zhu Yongxing paced to the large map hanging on the wall, his gaze from south to north. Finally, stop in Liaodong. The Dangshuo Army occupied Ningyuan and completed the first step in containing the battle of Zuò, and the next step was the operation of the Northeast Military Region.

According to the revised military plan, the Northeast Military Region will dispatch the Shuo Army and the cavalry to attack and advance from Fuzhou to Gaizhou, except for the Shuo Army, which will advance north from Jinzhouwei, and the Navy Division and 3,000 marines will be at sea to guard the two flanks of the Shuo Army.

If Gaizhou can be conquered, the Ming army will recover the entire Liaodong Peninsula and can attack Anshan, Liaoyang, and even Shenyang to the north; To the west, Yingkou and Panjin can be attacked to cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Jinzhou to Liaozhong. Even if the Qing army mobilized heavy troops to intercept it, making it difficult for Gaizhou to recover, several major battles would inevitably consume a lot of Manchu manpower and material resources.

However, the favorable conditions for the Ming army were still the naval divisions, and the route chosen to advance from Fuzhou to Gaizhou was all along the coast, and the transportation of materials and heavy artillery were relatively convenient and fast. At the same time, the Tianjin Naval Division, another Ming fleet in Liaodong Bay, could also carry out coordinated operations.

Relying on a powerful naval division, the Ming army was quite superior in combat at this stage. If the Qing army could be divided into several strategic groups that were far apart, such as Jinzhou and Gaizhou, the Ming army could even gather ships and heavy troops and go up from the Daliao River at Yingkou to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Jinzhou or Gaizhou.

In the final analysis, the Ming army was not only a strong naval division, but also more and more advantageous in the number of troops. The Qing army, on the other hand, struggled to maintain sufficient strength to compete with the Ming army in multiple strategic directions. In terms of mobility, the Manchu Qing relied on horses, and the Ming army relied on ships, and now no one is obvious. But on longer distances, the Ming army had some advantages.

At present, the Ming army is exerting pressure in the two strategic directions of Liaoxi and Liaodong, in fact, there are independent divisions in Sinuiju in North Korea, as well as recruits who are constantly enlisted and trained. This force will also come in handy at critical times. If you go north along the Yalu River, you can even directly attack the Nuergandu Si Jianzhou Wei and directly take the former capital of the Later Jin regime, Hetuala (now the old city of Xinbin County, Liaoning Province).

In fact, the Manchus had noticed this before and still do, so they wanted to conquer Korea and bring it to its knees to relieve their worries. However, now, it is obviously difficult to send troops to attack the DPRK, so we can only reluctantly dispatch a number of troops and horses to strengthen the surveillance and vigilance of the DPRK.

"It's over, you're done, sooner or later." Zhu Yongxing said hatefully, turned around and returned to the table, and when he flipped through the secret fold again, it was Zhao Xianwu, the governor of Henan, who said that the flooding in Henan was strict, even if it was Kaifeng, it was not at risk of being flooded. Fortunately, last year's rain in Ganshan and Shaanxi was small, and the snow fell little in winter, and this year's cauliflower flood barely survived, which is considered to be dangerous.

Zhu Yongxing knew that this was a tactful stretch of out of his hand to ask for money. When Zhao Xianwu first arrived, for water conservancy, he obviously wanted to be able to keep this year's loyalty, and as for next year, he would find a way! But Zhao Xianwu can think so, and Zhu Yongxing has to think more comprehensively.

"If you have only a year of confusion, you will lose hope. The Ministry of Water Resources has an overall plan, Henan River from Fengling to the lower reaches of Chenzhou, year by year in sections, some places scoured, then with large stone strips to solidify. If you have a plan to cure it for a few years, how can you use straw to block the water every year? ”

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yongxing continued to write: "I have said to you that I will not take the crime lightly, and it is the same today, you can be relieved. When it comes to controlling the river, it is indeed very expensive, and now the imperial court's finances are not enough, and it will not last long. According to the estimation of the Ministry of Households, there will be a turnaround in the second half of the year, and if there is a surplus, water conservancy is the first priority, and you can rest assured that you will be the official ......."

After all, there is still a lack of money! Zhu Yongxing knew that the 200,000 taels of silver given to Zha Rulong and Chen Huang couldn't do anything, but he couldn't do anything more for a while. I was a little irritable in my heart, turned around and walked out of the house, walking slowly, until the water and clouds pavilion, comfortably watching the surrounding scenery, the field of vision is wide, the clouds and water and the pavilions and pavilions reflect each other, which is refreshing.

In the distance, a large ship was moving slowly, figures were shaking, and two little ones were vaguely jumping. Zhu Yongxing hurriedly ordered the guards next to him to get the binoculars, but before the telescopes arrived, the boat had slowly docked, and Rou'er Jia'er, accompanied by the guards and palace maids, walked over with a smile.

"Father, father." The two little princesses came running with a cry of joy, still holding something in their hands.

"You two, can't you live in peace?" The laughter of the two daughters made Zhu Yongxing's expression soften, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Father, look." Jia'er showed the gold medal in her hand to Zhu Yongxing.

"There are big fish in the sea, and some of them have gold medals on them." Rou'er is old in the end, although she is smiling, she is detailed.

"yes, let me see." Zhu Yongxing took the gold medal and watched it carefully, it was the name of the Longqing era, and after a little contemplation, he knew what it was.

Since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, every owner of Zhongnanhai would insert a gold medal with the royal character on the live shark fin and then put the fish in the water. In the royal palace, fish will naturally not be caught, and they will naturally gain weight and fat for a long time.

There is also a story in history because of this fish, which is that Feng Guozhang, the president of the Republic of China, was greedy for money and sent people to catch fish in the three seas and sell them at a high price. For a time, restaurants in Beijing competed to sell "presidential fish". After Feng Guozhang's death, someone once wrote an elegiac couplet: "Where are the fish in the South China Sea? There are no more Beiyang dogs! ”

Zhu Yongxing shook his head lightly and put aside the idea of fishing and selling for money. It doesn't matter if you catch two and eat them occasionally, forget about large-scale fishing, it's too bad for the scenery, and it's not poor enough to be this part.

"Don't jump around on the boat in the future, it's dangerous." Zhu Yongxing instructed the two daughters to sit down, drink tea casually, and chat.

"Although it is called the sea, it is actually a lake, and the sea is boundless, and it is much bigger than that."

"Winters in the north are cold and snowy. However, there is also a lot of fun to play, building snowmen, skiing, chiseling ice lanterns, ......"

"Don't just play around, you can't leave your homework behind, my father is thinking about starting a school, and there will be many children of your age studying together."

"Huh? The Forbidden City, my father doesn't like it, and the courtyard of the deep palace is gloomy. ”

"Going to a temple fair? Where? Huguo Temple, okay, wait for your father to have time to lead you two there. ”

Father and daughter affection, gossip and chatting, surrounded by lakes and mountains, and delicate laughter in front of him, with this joy, Zhu Yongxing suddenly felt that all his worries disappeared.
