Throughout the night, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi said a lot of things.

From the time when the old man was a cowherd baby outside Fengyang City, until Daming was preparing for the journey to the Western Regions.

He also said that the girl in the village was as beautiful as a flower, and she was salivating for the old man. And now the Ming royal family is scattered, and the children and grandchildren are full.

Zhu Yunxi coaxed the old man to the bed, watching the other party sleep peacefully, and he didn't know the time.

When he exited the house, he gently closed the door, and turned around to find that the sky was already dark.

It's the coldest time of the day.

The dew hung all over the branches and leaves, the morning sun did not heat up, and the morning breeze was a little cold.

Zhu Yunxi shrank his head, arched his shoulders, rubbed his hands together slowly, and paced forward.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he saw Zhu Gaochi holding a bowl in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi blinked his tired eyes: "What is this?" ”

"For you." Zhu Gaochi muttered and sent the bowl to Zhu Yunxi: "Accompany the old man to nag all night, can you bear it?" This is the snake caught by the people below in the mountains last night, with a few herbs prescribed by the imperial doctors, stewed out of the qi-replenishing snake soup, and it is almost drunk while it is hot. ”

Protein does not dissolve in water, and the umami of chicken soup and snake soup is produced by another substance that has no nutrients.

But once this is mixed with the people who have entered the Tai Hospital, then this bowl of snake soup will inevitably be able to replenish qi.

Zhu Yunxi didn't think much about it, took the bowl, and when he opened it, he could see the snake soup with a layer of light oil and water.

He raised his head and drank a whole bowl of soup.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi finished drinking the soup, Zhu Gaochi had a smile on his face, took the empty bowl, and handed it to the entourage on the side.

Zhu Gaochi said: "There is nothing important in the past two days, and the projects on the construction site are advancing according to the construction period. The people who continued to rush over from the mountains were also distributed according to the previous plan.

You go and sleep first, and if there is any important military situation on the front line, I will call you. ”

Saying that, he was already pushing and shoving, so he pushed Zhu Yunxi to a room in the back office of the Dayong County Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to arrange a few graceful women for Zhu Yunxi, but the house had obviously just been cleaned up, clean, and lit with a not too strong incense.

I saw the softness and neatness of the bed.

Zhu Yunxi saved the step of washing, and directly took off his coat and got into the quilt.

Within two clicks, he was already snoring loudly.

In the next few days, the entire Dayong County was calm.

The emperor's body is also recovering rapidly.

On the third day, the old man had already taken his sixth child around Dayong County.

The food list in the southwest is very different from that of the Central Plains.

Even Zhu Zhen, who is also in Huguang Road, lives in Wuchang City all the year round, and rarely knows the types of food in Dayong County.

Father and son spent their days looking for food they had never seen before.

It's a rare leisure time.

Outside the county, the number of projects in Dayong County is now increasing.

The total number of people who rushed to Dayong County from all over the country has exceeded 50,000.

This has also led to the rapid progress of various projects.

Now the imperial court is at an unprecedented height in the hearts of these people.

If someone says at this time, the court is exploiting them.

The biggest possibility is that the people will face the excitement of the crowd and a hammer.

Not to mention, the imperial court further carried out teaching work in Dayong County.

The people finished their work during the day, and at night before going to bed, there would be people in the army and in the city who were literate and hyphenated to teach the people to read and write.

What is knowledge?

In the distant past, it was something that only the wealthy of the gate valve could have.

In recent years, it has also been a power that can only be held by people who are either rich or noble.

The imperial court now doesn't want them to spend money, let them learn to read for free, and teach them to settle accounts.

That's a great kindness.

That's right.

Zhu Yunxi: They are trying to promote basic education in Dayong County.

Although the imperial court has been actively building local government-run schools in the past two years, it has never been able to better solve the problem of basic education for the whole people because of the huge cost.

After all, at this time, it is impossible for people to study completely out of work.

For most people, learning doesn't change the status quo, and it's imperative to eat enough and live a better life.

Instead of learning to read and write, and then continuing to devote yourself to more imperial examinations.

But the current nighttime literacy learning in Dayong County is another attempt.

At least it can ensure that these people who work can know how to read in the future.

Therefore, after Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi summed up, they felt that it was not so much basic education as literacy.

In short, here in Dayong County, except for no more wars, everything else is in full swing.

And leaving Dayong County, the entire southwest Tusi region also had a strange silence during this time.

Since the Yongshun Xuanwei Si Peng family and the Baojing Prefecture Peng family were wiped out by the imperial army one after another, the two places are undergoing the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream.

All parties in the southwest have maintained an attitude of standing still.

Even if the imperial court is still pulling people from the southwest Tusi region, those Tusi officials who have been hereditary for hundreds of years are still unmoved.

It seems that even if the imperial court gets everyone away, they will not have any dissatisfaction and reaction.

For a time, there was a calm situation in the entire southwest region.

Capital.

Inside the Heavenly City.

Zhu Biao had just finished the routine court meeting, and walked into the side hall of the Wenhua Hall a little tired and lay down.

The news that the old man had gone to the southwest had already been rushed back eight hundred miles.

But as long as the old man is not in Beijing for a day, Zhu Biao's heart will not be stable for a day.

Recently, there has been no major controversy between the DPRK and China.

But what I have been doing has not always been smooth.

With the establishment of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, the power struggle between Zou Xueyu and the local Shangfu County is still ongoing.

The imperial court dismissed quite a few people.

However, the officials at the lowest level cannot be completely solved by an assessment.

The rule and governance of the lowest level of the empire has been a long-standing problem since a thousand years ago.

Zou Xueyu wanted to do something that no one else had done.

He hoped that the power of the governor of Nanzhili and the Yamen of Zhili under his control could be directly extended to every township in every prefecture and county.

It takes a lot of power and resources to do it.

As a result of this, Zou Xueyu alone owned a room in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that was specially used to store the impeachment medal.

The dynasty is so honored, and Zou Xueyu alone owns it.

Zhu Biao was very worried.

He knew that Zou Xueyu was a person who could do things, but the local contradictions had not been resolved, and they had begun to affect many aspects.

Nan Zhili's matter is not over yet.

Zhu Biao also had another headache with the construction of the western railway.

Although the construction of the large project, which required tens of millions of dollars of food, has already begun, the massive amount of materials needed needs to be transported throughout the empire.

The imperial court solved the problem of the local people's dissatisfaction with the railway crossing, but another problem arose that no one had thought of before.

The localities do not know when they began to compete for the right to cross the railway through their own territory.

For this reason, the contradiction has risen to the point that there are two neighboring counties in Shaanxi Province, and the county commander, with the government officials and the common people, fights privately on the border.

Is this still official?

A county parent official, with his own people and the next county to work.

If it weren't for the poor prefect's clothes and boots, and his soldiers and horses to bring the situation under control, there might have been many casualties.

But if there is a first occurrence of such a thing, there will inevitably be a second incident.

When the news was transmitted back to Jingshi, the prince was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

In the end, it was found out that there was a fool in the Ministry of Industry, who actually spread the news that the imperial court would increase investment along the western railway, mobilize local people to produce, and sell local output to other places through rail and river transportation, so as to increase local income.

There was an unwritten unspoken rule in the imperial court in the past two years.

That is, where the economy is doing well, the people are better fed and warmer, and the fiscal revenue can increase simultaneously, then it will inevitably be selected by the officials, given evaluations, and promoted.

The imperial court should take economic development as the core condition for evaluation.

When the officials along the western railway heard that the railway line would receive investment from the imperial court to improve the local economic level, it was not a sudden dispute.

The angry prince naturally couldn't be appeased.

That idiot from the Ministry of Industry was transferred to an industrial cluster under the name of the Ministry of Industry.

I heard that it seems that I was going to work on an errand in the iron mine over there in Qiongzhou.

And the officials along the Western Railway also received the most severe warnings from the imperial court.

Whoever dares to lead the people to war again will go home and farm by himself.

In this way, it can be regarded as a slight pacification of the officialdom disputes in the west.

But in private, those people think that martial arts are not good, so they will write.

As a result, all kinds of things slandering each other and dredging up relations between the DPRK and China have emerged one after another.

Although it is all for promotion, but also for the sake of local economic development, Zhu Biao can't stop them from doing things at this time.

After all, in the follow-up survey, the Ministry of Industry also found that many of the problems in the early planning were there.

At least the western railway route, which has not been thoroughly determined.

Things are complicated, and they are still messy.

It can only be implemented step by step.

In addition to this matter, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has also sent a huge Western Regions development plan that can be called grandiose to Zhu Biao.

In the plan of the Grand Governor's Palace, it covered a territory of the Western Regions that far exceeded the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

In the west, it is necessary to be able to make direct contact with the Central Asian countries, and in the south, it is necessary to join forces with the southern expeditionary army led by Chang Sheng on the Gangetic Plain.

This plan has far exceeded the original plan of the Ming Dynasty to reopen the Western Regions.

The Dadu Governor's Mansion is now full of hope that the imperial court will issue an edict so that they can command the elite army of the Ming Dynasty to the west.

For this reason, a sand table exercise on how to enter the Western Regions began to spread from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then to the Jiangwutang.

The focus of the debate has also shifted from how to recover the Western Regions to how to lay down a new territory to the west of the Ming Dynasty that is not part of the existing territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Biao saw the end of the plan, the Metropolitan Governor's Office hoped that the imperial court could dispatch 300,000 troops, and he was immediately dizzy.

This is not a northern expedition, there is the Great Wall as a starting point to dispatch grain and grass materials.

300,000 Ming troops rushed thousands of miles away, west out of Yangguan, and threw themselves into the continuous war.

The imperial court had to pay a huge price for this to ensure the food, grass and ordnance of the 300,000 army.

Lose your marbles.

The entire Metropolitan Governor's Mansion went crazy.

This is Zhu Biao's final conclusion on this plan.

However, with the opinion of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, Zhu Biao had to think about balance.

Just when Zhu Biao had a headache for these things, news came from Dayong County quickly.

The old man fell ill and couldn't return to Beijing for a while, so he asked the Tai Hospital to send the Tai Doctor to Dayong.

Zhu Biao couldn't sit still at all.

Lying on the soft chair, Zhu Biao finally couldn't bear to throw it away, shouted angrily, and smashed the wrench in his hand that he had worn for a long time on the ground.

The wrench shattered.

"None of them are worry-free!"

Gao Yangzhi hurriedly got up and brought a cup of tea to the prince: "Your Majesty Jiren has his own natural appearance, and with the blessing of God, he will be fine." If His Majesty is really seriously ill, Dayong's side, whether it is the Taisun or His Royal Highness the King of Chu, will definitely rush to escort His Majesty back to Beijing. ”

He is a cabinet minister, although the cabinet is based in Wenyuan Pavilion.

But on the side of the Wenhua Palace, because the prince handles government affairs here every day, the cabinet also rotates every day to leave one person here to take care of it, so as to facilitate the transmission of news on both sides, and it can be regarded as the responsibility of the cabinet to assist in government affairs.

Zhu Biao took the tea, but his brows were furrowed: "If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Da Ming seems to be good at the moment, but if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates." ”

He didn't specify what it was.

But what happened to the court is not a big deal.

Gao Yangzhi smiled silently and said in a low voice: "In fact, when the country is strong, things seem to be more and more troublesome than before. But at the end of the day, it's still those things.

His Royal Highness established the prince early, lived in the middle palace, supervised state affairs for many years, and no one can be more proficient than His Royal Highness when it comes to national politics above the court. At the moment, I just haven't figured out the clue for a while, so it's better to rest for two days in order to meditate. ”

Zhu Biao put down the teacup and looked at Gao Yangzhi with a smile on his face.

A smile slowly appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his hand to Gao Yangzhi and laughed out loud.

"Okay, you're a high spring breeze!"

"I actually turned a corner and said that I was lonely!"

Gao Yangzhi also laughed out loud.

Just don't speak.

And quickly.

The edicts of the crown prince began to be sent to the cabinet one by one, and they were transferred to the court and told the world.

The imperial court will fully support all the innovations of Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili, and those who oppose it will not be allowed to use the law of the country.

The construction plan for the western railway is entirely subject to consultation between Cabinet Minister Xie Jin and the Ministry of Industry, and no one is allowed to interfere with it.

The Metropolitan Governor's Office also got an answer.

The prince said that whoever has the courage to lead 300,000 people alone to complete all the things in the plan given by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will let whoever be the general of the Western Expedition.

All of a sudden, the prince's troubles swept away.

Shan Yongnian, the old hospital envoy of the Tai Hospital, who had not been out for a long time, took a team of young apprentices out of Yingtian and went to Dayong County, Huguang Road.
