The first year of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing, who has been in charge of the empire for 65 years, and Zhu Houwei, who is now 85 years old, stands solemnly on the Chengtian Gate Tower, facing the spring breeze and reminiscing about the past.

A month ago, the crown prince of the Ming Empire ...... Zhu Zaiyuan, the crown prince who had not been able to ascend the throne for more than 60 years, died.

With the death of the crown prince, the exhausted Jiajing Emperor Chan let the emperor be located in the emperor's grandson Zhu Yiliu, and the year name was Hongxuan!

The era of Jiajing is over, and a generation of legendary emperors is about to come to the end of their lives.

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the legendary hero of the Gai Dynasty in the long history, he is the emperor of the people, the only emperor after the emperor of Shang, the emperor after Emperor Jiajing is still the son of heaven, no king dares to crown the name of the emperor!

The brilliance of the Jiajing Emperor is destined to shine through the ages and be celebrated for generations!

In the 65 years from Emperor Jiajing's accession to the throne, Wenzhi and martial arts can be called the pinnacle, and there is no comparison for thousands of years!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is 26.37 million square kilometers, which is far inferior to that of the Yuan Dynasty, but in the Jiajing era, the Americas and Australia established 17 father-son countries.

The Dawu Dynasty established by Zhu Houzhao, the brother of Emperor Jiajing, destroyed the Ottoman Empire and the Kazakh Khanate to the east, directly bordered Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, and conquered Africa to the south, eliminating African countries and establishing six brotherly countries of the Dawu Dynasty!

The whole world is Han soil!

In the past 65 years, the total length of railways has been 33,000 kilometers, and the railway network has connected all state capitals except Xinjiang, Tibet, southeast and far north grasslands!

135,800 kilometers of official roads, and the highway network covers all state capitals!

There are four Yangtze River bridges, three Yellow River bridges, and seven Yangtze River and Yellow River dams including Gezhouba and Longyang Gorge!

The flooding of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has always been the most troublesome thing for all dynasties, spending a lot of gold and silver and countless manpower to achieve the expected results!

However, under the premise that the Jiajing Dynasty, which had countless prisoners and even a large surplus of hard laborers, the lakes and reservoirs and waterways were desilted, the embankments were reinforced with concrete, and the casualties were not counted, and the flood was greatly alleviated.

Of course, it is impossible to say that floods will never exist, but compared to the floods that broke out every year or two, the floods are now minimized, and the risk of levee failure is greatly reduced.

The Yellow River, the great river that gave birth to hundreds of people, made the great river that the ancient Chinese nation loved and hated completely became the mother river of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also Zhu Houzhao's idea......

Completed in the 33rd year of Jiajing, the Baikal Mega Project, a water diversion project that cost 700,000 lives to the Japanese people, injected a source of life into Xinjiang, irrigated more than 70 million acres of land, and successfully turned the Gobi into an oasis.

In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, the Daming power grid was established, and since then the light has entered thousands of households.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the imperial examination system was officially abolished, and it was replaced by new schools all over the world, and the system of taking officials officially entered the era of examination-oriented education!

After all, Zhu Houwei did not completely abolish Confucianism, after all, for the feudal imperial power, the existence of Confucianism still has its rationality and necessity after all.

Confucianism is good, and after entering the office, you will basically enter the etiquette department, and the promotion speed will not be very fast, after all, the road to eunuch is single and narrow.

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows how much the emperor attaches importance to the development of science and technology, and the Tongzhou Institute of Science and Technology has invested terrifying funds in the emperor, which is naturally fruitful.

After the improvement of hybrid rice again and again, the yield per mu has now been as high as 1,000 catties, and the widespread planting of various high-yield crops has also made the population of Daming completely exploded!

Jiajing 30 years, the first census, the Ming Dynasty registered 270 million people, this is still in the Ming Dynasty to overseas immigration over 100 million figures, Jiajing at the end of the second census, the population has been as high as 380 million, the population explosion has also completely let the Ming Dynasty have a huge demographic dividend.

Hou Shan's research on internal combustion engines made a major breakthrough in the 41st year of Jiajing, and it was also since then that the Ming Dynasty began to gradually bid farewell to the steam era!

Wenzhi martial arts, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Jiajing is really too many to count, a feudal dynasty that has gone through two hundred years of journey, at this moment burst out unimaginable, incomparably vigorous vitality, which is generally only two or three hundred years of feudal era, it can be said to be a miracle!

"Is this a parallel world or a dream...... Zhu Houwei muttered, people like to reminisce when they are old.

At this moment, Zhu Houwei remembered his previous life, in that world, he had a happy family, but an accident sent him to this time and space, if this is just a dream, then this dream is too real.

But if it weren't for a dream, when he came to the end of his life, there was no answer to whether he could go back or not......

"Zhilei...... You've been gone for twenty years, and I should come to accompany you......" Zhu Houwei's eyes looked in the direction of Tianshou Mountain, at the foot of that mountain, there are nine emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and they will soon usher in the tenth ......

In the forty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhu Houzhao, the Taiwu Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty, completed his life and left a will, and the Dawu Dynasty must not respect him as the Taizu, because he is the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

In the end, Zhu Houzhao was buried in his homeland, and Zhu Houwei built a large-scale Kangling for him in order to repay him for the grace of the country, which was several times larger than the scale of the Kangling in later generations!

As for Zhu Houwei's own Yongling, the scale is naturally more magnificent, and the only ones that can be compared to Yongling throughout the ages are the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and the Qianling Tombs of Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian!

As a traveler, Zhu Houwei is lonely, as an emperor, he is even more lonely, when the people around him leave one by one, this loneliness will be magnified countless times, countless midnight dreams, Zhu Houwei, who can't sleep, will be extremely hesitant and helpless.

However, it's almost over......

"Grandpa, what are you thinking?" Zhu Changyu, the ten-year-old imperial crown prince, was full of curiosity.

Zhu Houwei glanced at his great-grandson, his eyes were full of spoiling, in his eyes, the greatest achievement of the current Emperor Hongxuan of the Ming Dynasty for this empire may have nothing else, that is, he gave birth to a good son and gave birth to the most suitable king of the empire!

Zhu Changyu's intelligence is not even worse than that of his eldest son Zhu Zaikun, and at a young age, he can analyze Jiajing's achievements in cultural governance and martial arts, and even fully explain his own opinions.

This is a natural king, Zhu Houwei has every reason to believe that when Zhu Changyu ascends the throne as emperor, the Ming Empire will definitely create a more brilliant prosperity.

"Grandpa Tai is old, and he likes to reminisce, think about the carefree childhood years in the palace when he was a child, think about the bits and pieces when he was a vassal in Huzhou, think about the grandma you haven't seen, think about the past life...... Think of the odd change of the same ......"

"Odd and even unchanged, symbols look at the quadrant!" The ten-year-old blurted out.

Zhu Houwei's eyes flashed, and his incredible gaze fell directly on the face of his precious great-grandson......
