After returning to Beijing for a royal family banquet, Zhu Yunxi stayed in the East Palace for three days, and never walked out of it once.

For the prosperity of the Ming clan, Zhu Yunxi felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility and obligation.

Day 3.

When Zhu Yunxi walked out of the East Palace Chunhe Gate with his waist and his legs trembling a little, he saw Zhu Gaochi with his arms folded, leaning against the palace wall, staring at him with an ambiguous face.

"Why are you here?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little curious, it stands to reason that Xiaopang should still be dealing with the things that have accumulated in the past year at the tax office at this time.

Zhu Gaochi pouted: "I'm just going to take a look at it, my Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can you still do it." ”

"There's nothing I can't do!" Zhu Yunxi's breath was a little stubborn and retorted, but his body still beckoned to the little fat honestly.

Dead ducks have hard beaks.

Zhu Gaochi secretly scolded in his heart, stretched out his hand, and let Zhu Yunxi put it on his shoulder: "This mouth is the hardest on the whole body!" ”

Zhu Yunxi was silent.

Whether he is hard or not, he has to prove it to the princess and concubine grandson who haven't been able to get up until now.

Zhu Gaochi hugged Zhu Yunxi, and the two brothers slowly walked on the corridor in the palace.

"Tomorrow is the great court meeting of this decade, according to the old man's meaning, I will reward the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition at the great court meeting."

Zhu Yunxi's face was calm: "This is as it should be." ”

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Beijing has been very lively in the past two days. Although many soldiers were sacrificed outside the pass, the grassland was really taken, and the people were still happy although they had nothing to do with it. Many businesses in the city are also selling goods at discounts. ”

"Sort of them have a little conscience."

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Actually, it is Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian, who did a good job, at the end of last year, there were merchants in Beijing waiting for an opportunity to raise prices, and they were punished by Zou Xueyu, and other merchants in Beijing learned to be obedient." ”

"Zou Xueyu has served as Jiaozhi Dao, and he is murderous, and it is a wise choice to put him in the position of the prefect of Yingtian." A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

Zhu Gaochi snorted: "Are you praising yourself for being accurate?" ”

"Otherwise, how could I find out that you are such a big talent?" Zhu Yunxi asked rhetorically.

Zhu Gaochi's face tensed.

This guy is still talking about his previous body and fat body.

He took a sip and said, "So because of this, the old man specially set up a Zhili Dao for him, and let him be appointed as the minister of the Zhili Governor, and the authority is very heavy." ”

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment.

Then he said slowly: "Previously, the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River were divided, and the yamen were one after another and did not interfere with each other. However, Zhili is a place of taxation in the world, although the grain output is not as wide as Huguang, but the merchants are vertical and horizontal, and the commercial taxes are quite rich. It is the right time to set up the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili. ”

Zhu Gaochi suddenly stopped.

So much so that Zhu Yunxi didn't react, his steps were still moving forward, and he almost fell to the ground in a hurry.

He looked back at Chubby dissatisfied.

Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Yunxi with scrutinizing eyes, and said in a low voice: "Are you involved in the affairs of the Governor of Zhili's Yamen?" But you've always been at the border, so how can you have the opportunity to get involved? Zou Xueyu is about to become the governor of Zhili, what are you going to let him do? ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Fat: "What you want to ask the most, is it, do I plan to let you do anything here?" ”

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips.

He remembered clearly that in Zhu Yunxi's arrangement, his affairs would change after returning to Beijing this time.

So Zhu Gaochi winked at Zhu Yunxi.

Your little bit of caution, I can still handle it, fat brother.

Zhu Yunxi pouted: "I haven't figured out how to arrange your affairs yet." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed, his face was full of disbelief, such an answer was a bit unexpected by himself.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, reached out to hook Xiaopang's neck, and motioned for the other party to continue walking.

The two walked back towards the outside of the palace.

Zhu Yunxi explained: "In fact, I did mention the establishment of Zhili Road in my grandfather. The administration under the imperial court needs to be unified and coordinated in order to do things more effectively.

The 18 prefectures directly under the government are of great importance, and it is the place with the most abundant people in the country, and it is also the important place for national taxation.

At present, the new policy has been slow, and Zhili may be a new breakthrough point. ”

"Do you want to use Zhili Dao to push the new deal forward again?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled, and he seriously thought about what kind of changes would be brought to the imperial court and the national pattern after the establishment of the Yamen, the governor of Zhili Province.

Zhu Yunxi no longer mentioned this place at this time, but changed his words and said: "First go to Shanglin Yuan Prison, and then go to the Ministry of Industry and the workshop where the prison will be outside the city." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

The two went all the way out of the palace, and because someone had weak legs, they rode in a carriage on the official road.

Supreme Forest Court Supervisor.

Someone had already entered the yamen to report the news of the arrival of the grandson.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi had eased up a little, and he didn't have to let Xiaopang help him anymore.

The two got out of the carriage one after the other, and saw that at the gate of the Lin Yuan Prison, Yuan Sutai was already waiting here with a group of officials.

Just a glance.

Zhu Yunxi saw the familiar young master of the Ming Dynasty and the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, Yuan Sutai, in his memory.

It's always a pair of straw sandals, and even the calves are covered with muddy water.

Because of being out for a long time, it leads to dark skin.

Obviously, he has become a young master of the Ming Dynasty, but his hands are full of calluses, and there is black dirt hidden in his nails, and his nails look very thick.

If you remove the official robe on Yuan Sutai's body, this is an authentic old farmer in the countryside.

After leaving Beijing for more than a year, goodbye Yuan Sutai, this old man who is dedicated to the country and the people, has become more and more vicissitudes.

Zhu Yunxi looked at it with heartache in his eyes.

"Minister......

"Young master is exempt, please get up quickly!"

In front of the yamen, Yuan Sutai had just bowed over, and Zhu Yunxi had already rushed to Yuan Sutai in three steps and two steps, and his hands firmly supported Yuan Sutai's bent arms.

"Your Highness?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Yuan Sutai, whose eyes were shaking, with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "The young master has made great contributions to the country, and he must not be like this in front of Lone again." ”

Yuan Sutai's lips squirmed, but he didn't speak, just nodded with bright eyes.

Zhu Yunxi took a step forward, supported Yuan Sutai's wrist with one hand, and looked inside the yamen.

"Let's go take a walk and talk."

Yuan Sutai nodded: "Your Highness's northern expedition this time has gained a lot, and the country will no longer have external troubles from the north, and the merit lies in the people of the world." Chen Wenjie reported to Beijing, and it was convenient for his family to drink a few more glasses of wine that day. The old minister also thought that when His Highness was busy with the affairs of the court, he should also come to Lin Yuanjian, but he didn't want His Highness to come over so soon. ”

The two of them were surrounded by the officials of Shanglin Yuan Prison and walked ahead.

Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath.

The Shanglin Yuan Prison was filled with the smell of crops planted in the fields behind the yamen.

He opened his mouth and said softly: "The war went smoothly, and it is also a credit to the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor. There is a way to disarm and return to the field, and now that the war is over, the first two days are really lacking skills. When I was free today, I thought about coming over and talking to you. ”

Yuan Sutai smiled very plainly: "These two years are rare good years, although there are disasters in the local area, but they are not very affected. Now that Lao Chen goes to Zhuangzi everywhere outside the city, he can also see that the people often eat some white rice, and the children in Zhuangzi are getting stronger and stronger, and their faces are a lot rounder. ”

After the initial increase in production, it is now difficult to increase the grain output of Daming.

This is a situation that takes a long time to change.

The task of the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan has also turned to how to better increase the soil fertility and how to cultivate new crop varieties.

And......

Possibility of large-scale livestock farming.

Yuan Sutai blinked, looking at Zhu Yunxi, who was always really supporting him.

With such an imperial grandson here, why can't the Ming Dynasty prosper.

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and saw that he had already arrived behind the Shanglin Yuan Prison, and his eyes were full of crops, so he said with a smile: "I have to let the young master know that Lone went to the gate this time, but in fact, he has never been to the battle array." But it is true that in the northeast corner of the Hetao, a Daqing City was built on the side of Daqingshan.

Although it has not yet been built, more than 100,000 herdsmen have returned, and the pastures over there have been divided one by one. The officials who accompanied him before are now also doing things over there. Alone, they are also following the young master's ideas, hoping to make some cattle and sheep suitable for raising in the south of us. ”

"Good thing! That's a good thing! Yuan Sutai said yes again and again.

The two of them had already gone into the field.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand casually, he pinched it down, and it had already reached the grouting stage and began to become heavy.

"I still have to talk to the young master, the Liaodong capital division will be transferred to Liaodong Province, and the Nuergan region in the northeast will set up the Nuergan Division, and then the young master will have to worry about it, and send some people to plant rice.

Although the climate there can only be planted for one season, the land is very fertile, and the yield should not be small. If it can be developed quickly, it can alleviate the food problem in the north of our Ming Dynasty. ”

Yuan Sutai thought about it, changed the topic and said: "Since Fan Shaoqing came back, there have been more merchant ships from the west, and Shanglin Yuan has collected a lot of seeds, and now they are all being cultivated, and the old minister hopes to produce one or two more edible grains." ”

"You also have to pay attention to vegetable seeds, because in the future, there will be enough food to eat, and the dishes on the table will be more different."

Zhu Yunxi added a sentence, but did not mention that he asked Zhu Yunxi and Sun Cheng to take people to North America. Not to mention, he also sent a letter to Sun Cheng, asking the other party to pay attention to collecting as many crop plant seeds as possible in North America.

Whether we can find the crop seeds that Daming needs is still two words. If you can find it, you can bring it to the Lin Yuan Prison when the time comes.

Yuan Sutai didn't think much about it, and just now he was in the field behind the yamen, so he personally pointed out a few places.

Then the simple old man pulled Zhu Yunxi and had to stay in Shanglin Yuan Prison to taste the grain they had grown with their own hands.

Zhu Yunxi naturally did everything.

I had a meal with the old man and chatted for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that he and Zhu Gaochi came out of Shanglin Yuanjian.

I got into the carriage and went to the workshop of the Ministry of Works.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Shanglin Yuanjian who was left behind him through the car window, and said in a low voice: "If you want more people from the Tai Hospital to come and see the young master, the elderly people should pay more attention and be careful." ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything, just nodded and wrote down the matter.

The workshop of the Ministry of Industry is not far from Yingtian City.

Located in a downstream riverside location.

A small wharf has also been built on the side to facilitate the transportation of raw materials and finished products.

"The Ministry of Industry plans to build another railway from here to connect to Shangyuanmen Wharf."

The workshop was in front of him, and Zhu Gaochi got out of the carriage and said a word to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yun's painful footsteps did not stop: "What has the DPRK and China said about the railway recently?" ”

"It's a good thing."

Zhu Gaochi quickly gave an answer.

But immediately after.

He changed his words again: "The sightseeing railway on the other side of the Qinhuai River, everyone says it is good. It's just that if the imperial court is asked to take out a large amount of iron for the construction of railways and trains, everyone thinks that it is too early and is suspected of being a waste. ”

Zhu Yunxi frowned and asked, "What does the Ministry of Industry say?" ”

Before Zhu Gaochi could answer, he heard a large number of people rushing over in front of him.

In the backdrop of the riverside workshops, countless huge factories and chimneys, a group of officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry who were covered in stains walked over.

"Zhang Ergong is also here?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd and Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was at the forefront, a little unexpectedly coincidental.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at it and explained: "Zhang Ergong is basically not in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the matter is handed over to the two waiters to deal with, and only matters that are difficult to decide will be decided by Zhang Ergong." He stayed here on weekdays, and a few years ago, for convenience, he moved several workshops from other places here.

Fortunately, there are a few scholars in the cabinet, otherwise the Ministry of Industry will be in chaos. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi meaningfully.

This is a drawback that has recently been discovered in the DPRK.

Although the imperial court now selects officials based on ability, many of them do not know how to be officials, and do not know how to use their official positions and powers, although they are highly capable.

There have been many conflicts between technology and official positions.

Zhang Ergong is a prime example.

He was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, and it stands to reason that he was in the yamen, managing all the affairs involving the Ministry of Industry in the world and determining the local administrative direction.

But he was more focused on research and manufacturing.

In fact, according to Zhu Gaochi's thoughts, Pan Deshan, the minister of the river governor, is the most suitable candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Although Pan Deshan now has the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, it is a false award, and it is more of a symbol.

But Zhu Gaochi also knows that Pan Deshan is inseparable from the river.

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

How to make good use of technical officials is indeed a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

"When I've seen it this time, I'll discuss it later."
