Hongji looked at his young son, who was just one and a half years old, in a daze, and suddenly laughed. I am really blessed, although I stumbled and stumbled in the first half of my life, but now the husband and wife are harmonious, and the two sons love each other. If it is ordinary people, it is not enough, but in this emperor's family, it is very rare that there is no misfortune of taking the heir! At the moment, he said with relief: "Wei'er, my father believes in you!" You said that Daming still has a mandate of heaven for nearly a hundred years, is it really unchangeable? ”

Hua Houwei sneered and raised his head to the sky: "Dad, God let me come back alive, that is, to let the Ming Guozuo continue, and to let our Han people continue to trample those barbarians under their feet in this world of great contention!" ”

Xiao Jing felt dizzy in his head, and in a trance, a real dragon roared in front of him, and he couldn't help but weaken his knees and fall to the ground. Wang Zhi's eyes were filled with tears, it turned out that what Hua Houwei said that day was true, maybe he really had a day to lead the troops to gallop across the field! Yin Jiang's face was still as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, but his beating eyes betrayed his throbbing.

Hongzhi was flushed, ignoring Xiao Jing and Wang Zhi's abnormal appearance, and shouted excitedly: "Okay!" Wei'er, you have this ambition, what is there to be afraid of your father? Hum! Really, I don't know the undercurrent in the court? It's just that there is nothing to be done in a hurry! Wang Zhi! ”

"The old slave is here!"

"Hehe, when my father was alive, you were in power. The governor of Xichang, the former military supervisor, Wang Zhi, you can also be regarded as a popular figure. Now that I'm with Wei'er, aren't you wronged? ”

"The old slave was like a dead heart back then, and when he was in Yingtianfu, he also complained about the heavens. Since His Royal Highness rescued me, he has a good eye on me, and the old slave is only loyal to His Highness in this life! ”

"Humph! Courageous. Hehe, what I want is your loyal liver and courage! Wang Zhi, do you dare to take over the West Factory again? ”

Wang Zhi was stunned and yelled violently: "The old slave dares not to die!" ”

Hua Houwei directly stopped: "Dad, can you let me say a word?" ”

"You say."

"The goal of the West Factory is too big, and it is not good for those people to be alert. I think it would be better to set up a Mineral Survey Bureau, first, to understand the minerals of the country and lay the foundation for future industrialization. Second, quietly measure the land of the whole country, our Ming Dynasty yellow book is not accurate, the land is getting less and less, and the strange in the middle is also known. Find a chance to let them know that they can't be fooled! Third, really draw an accurate map, and the march and battle will have fewer losses. Fourth, you can collect all kinds of information, such as powerful assets and contacts across the country, and prepare for future tax collection. Dad, what do you think? ”

Hongji chewed and thought slowly, pacing back and forth in the Fengtian Temple, not caring at all about the corpses all over the ground. Suddenly raised his head and asked, "Xiao Jing, what are you doing kneeling?" What do you think of Wei'er's proposal? ”

Xiao Jing usually does not show the mountain and does not leak, but in fact, he has gone through the orthodox, Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongzhi five dynasties, successively served as Changsui, Fengyu, Zuo Jian Cheng, Tuoshu Supervisor and other positions, known as a scholar with rich experience, Hongzhi is very trusting. Listening to Hongzhi's questioning at this moment, he thought for a moment before replying steadily: "Long live, the minister thinks that His Highness's proposal is very safe, this Mineral Survey Bureau is better than the West Factory, the West Factory is too murderous, and Shilin has always been more sensitive." The Mineral Survey Bureau, on the other hand, is less noticeable, and the minister thinks it is very good. ”

Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully, then turned his head and asked Wang Zhi: "Wang Zhi, the queen's decree has been issued, and I have made people use it." How long will it take you to set up a West Factory? ”

"Dad!" Hua Houwei didn't understand a little, why was the cheap dad so obsessed with the West Factory?

"Wei'er, the name doesn't matter, whether it's the West Factory or the Mineral Investigation Bureau, it's the same inside."

Wang Zhi groaned and spoke: "Long live the old slave, the old slave has been silent for too long, and the old department is scattered, I'm afraid it won't be built in the short term." ”

Hongji frowned, and asked unwillingly: "If there is enough money and food, and enough authority, can't it be built?" ”

Wang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Long live the master, there is a process from scratch." The Mineral Survey Bureau is different from the West Factory, and needs professional personnel. The old slave used to come into contact with a gang of embryokillers, and this mineral investigation is really not good. ”

Hongji's gaze turned to Hua Hou Wei, who lowered his head and scribbled unconsciously on the ground with his toes. After a while, Hua Houwei spoke: "Dad, this matter is actually not difficult. The Ministry of Industry must have brushed down a lot of people in Beijing this time, stuffed them into the Mineral Survey Bureau, raised their wages, let them introduce talents, and gave a commission after introducing a hir, so as not to worry about the lack of talents. Wang Zhi's old ministry was responsible for protecting these treasures, and it shouldn't be difficult to take a two-pronged approach. Oh, Wang Zhi, can't the people of the rivers and lakes use it? ”

"Your Highness doesn't know that the people in the rivers and lakes have the ability, but they are actually local heroes. is brave and ruthless, for the sake of harming one party, or is it forbidden to use martial arts? ”

Hua Houwei didn't give up, and continued to ask: "What about the martial arts sects of Wudang, Shaolin, and Emei?" ”

"Alas, it's all the same. Wudang also has fields and shops, and Shaolin also has temple properties and pawnshops, and these gangs are not good at stubble. ”

"Oh, that's fine. Can't we hunt for their traitors? Get another martial arts conference or something, let these people fight, hehe, how do you say that? Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, the more fierce the fight, the better, the deeper the hatred, we can mediate in the middle, and then throw out some benefits, these people are still obedient? ”

Hongji's brows furrowed: "Wei'er, what do you care about these people?" ”

"Dad, these people are a scourge in the township, but if they are thrown in a serious place, it is also very useful. Not to mention anything else, which rebellion did not have any trace of these pretending gods? All get to the West Factory, oh, the Mineral Survey Bureau, let them do dangerous things, it's not a pity to die, isn't it? ”

Xiao Jing nodded and agreed: "Long live, the minister is in charge of the East Factory, what His Royal Highness said, the minister thinks it is appropriate." But these people are unruly and not very easy to manage. ”

Hua Houwei smiled and looked at Wang Zhi: "Wang Zhi, if you want money for money, you want power to give power, can't you take these people?" ”

"Humph! Your Royal Highness, Wang Zhi is not talented, although he is a crippled person, but these people are not in the eyes of the old slave. ”

Hongji nodded: "Okay!" This matter will be left to Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi, how did these generals at the border pass command the troops? ”

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, his heart was horizontal, and he replied happily: "Long live Lord, their military salary is insufficient, so they simply corrupt part of it and raise a bunch of domestic slaves." When fighting, the army only laid out a position and bluffed, and only these domestic slaves really fought. ”

Hongji sighed: "Alas, I see. How can it go on like this? In the event of a military disaster, can I still count on these border troops? ”

"Adjust your defense! Dad, we can get the twelve royal guards up first, and then slowly train these generals at the border gates. Hehe, if you get promoted, change places, you can only take away civilians, no more than a hundred, I don't believe they can turn the sky upside down? ”
