The next day, Zhu Di issued a holy decree and named Zhang Fu as the governor of the northwest.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty had a governor, but it was only some overseas bases that established a governor.

So, what exactly does Zhang Fu, the governor, do?

Zhang Fu knelt in front of Zhu Di, although he was dressed in military uniform, Zhu Di did not call up, holding the tea bowl in his hand, and looked down at the young general in front of him, "Your Royal Highness asks you to be sealed, such a young governor, the second grade of the official residence, this is the first in my Ming Dynasty." I don't say much, you do a good job of the things that the Fourth Highness has explained! ”

"Ministers should do their best for the four...... Daming went to the soup and fire! Zhang Fu's heart swelled with a burst of enthusiasm, the governor of the official residence, at this time, his heart was full of loyalty to Zhu Gaoxian, and he only felt that in this life, being able to meet a master like Zhu Gaoxian was a blessing that he had cultivated in his eighteen lifetimes.

Zhang Fu came out of the palace, and the officials of the six departments and other officials who came to him, no one did not cast envious eyes on Zhang Fu, and they all knew that Zhang Fu was a person from the Fourth Highness, and the Fourth Highness would cultivate him so much.

Only Xia Yuanji and others knew that the imperial court was planning to expand westward, on the map, the east was the sea, the only island country was gone, North Korea was too small, and it was very obedient, and it was not enough to plug the teeth, and the benefits that should be taken were basically in hand, and it was meaningless to pay more attention.

The west side is different, there is a large area of land there, not to mention anything else, and the piece of land occupied by Yili has the oil field that Daming wants.

The importance of oil, these courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have become more and more profound day by day.

In Zhu Gaoxian's office, Zhu'er sat on a chair and shed tears for a while, Zhu Gaoxian sat still, lowered his eyes and played with the pen in his hand, until Zhu'er stopped sobbing before he asked, "If there are any difficulties at work, you can tell me!" ”

Zhu'er's tears came down again, and she said, "The slave maid was originally the maid next to His Highness, and His Highness went overseas, and the slave maid helped to help the Ming Imperial Academy......"

Zhu Gaoxian interrupted her, "The princess should not have time to return to the Ming Imperial Academy to take up her post, I will ask the emperor to let the imperial court appoint you as the logistics principal of the Ming Imperial Academy." You've done an excellent job at the school over the years, and I don't think anyone is better qualified for the job than you. ”

Zhu'er raised her head reluctantly and looked at Zhu Gaoxian in disbelief, she knew that when the princess was the principal of logistics, she was all from the imperial court, and she was ranked, could it be that His Royal Highness planned to let herself serve in the court?

Zhu Gaoxian stood up and walked to a place only five steps away from Zhu'er, "A person can do a lot of things in his life, a lot of meaningful things. Now that Daming is short of manpower, and my subordinates are even more short of talents, if you can do things, you can do things in the academy well, instead of wasting your talents and competing with a bunch of people in the backyard! ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked at her very sternly, "I trained you, not for you to go to my backyard as a concubine, and I don't need a bunch of concubines and concubines, who will cause trouble in the future and leave people a laughing stock in history." ”

Zhu'er's face was flushed with shame, she stood up, she pursed her lips, and only felt that all the grievances were gone for a while, "Your Highness, the slave knows it!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian didn't say more, "The Ming Imperial Academy is the first university in the Ming Dynasty, you go back and tell Fang Xiaoru to cultivate talents well, don't be compared to other universities in the future." Also, report me the top 10 list of the best graduates in the last three years! ”

Zhu'er couldn't take care of her thoughts anymore, and hurriedly asked, "What is Your Highness going to do?" ”

"I'm going to set up a project codenamed 'Legal Open', you make a list, talk to people one by one, whether you want to join this project, once you join, no matter what achievements they make in the future, they will not be known to the world, but one thing they can rest assured that Daming will remember their names, and the people of this land will always remember their names in the future."

Zhu'er thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Your Highness, what is the project?" Can slaves join? ”

Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while and shook his head, "Daming Imperial Academy needs you to watch, this is the first university I have established, and there will be more and more people in Daming in the future, and there is no one more suitable for this job than you." And this project needs to leave Suncheonfu and move to the remote and less populated west in the future. ”

"Where to move to?"

"Gansu." Zhu Gaoxian said that he would build a city there, heavily guarded, dedicated to developing missiles and satellite launches, as well as future nuclear energy, aircraft carriers and moon landing programs.

Even if we can't see satellites in the sky and aircraft carriers launch in this life, once the foundation is laid, future generations will compete for strength at least hundreds of years earlier than Western countries, and they will not fall behind others in the future.

And the people of this land, industrious, brave, diligent and studious, have never disappointed.

Pearl was heartbroken when she came, and when she left, she was ambitious and walked with the wind.

When Zhang Fu came in, he passed by Zhu'er and looked at each other and saluted, making Zhang Fu suspect that what he had just seen was not a woman, but a man.

"Did the emperor talk to you?" Zhu Gaoxian seemed to be a little more relaxed, and the tense mood with Zhu'er relaxed.

"The minister is grateful to His Highness, and the minister is willing to go to the soup for His Highness!" Zhang Fu didn't say a word, and was about to kneel down as soon as his knees were weak.

Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "You and I are both for the court, for the people, and for the Ming Dynasty!" ”

But the more Zhu Gaoxian said this, the more moved Zhang Fu became, "Your Highness, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a person as noble and bright as His Highness, always and everywhere to care about the people, the family and the country. ”

"You're wrong!" Zhu Gaoxian personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Fu, who was so shocked that he knelt down again and took the tea with both hands.

"You're wrong!" Zhu Gaoxian held Zhang Fu's arm and asked him to get up, "The country is peaceful, and the people live their own lives so as not to cause trouble to others, when is the safety of the family and the country in danger, people with lofty ideals did not come forward?" How many people have emerged in history who have been worried about the world? Therefore, you shouldn't say such things, I'm not as good as you say, this world is the world of the common people, and it is also the world of the Zhu family! ”

Zhang Fu was about to speak, Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, "Okay, don't talk about this, what to do, I don't know the specifics, I only give you the task, Yili will take back the piece of land, Tatar and Warat into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I plan to build a base in Lanzhou, mainly for the development of weapons, after you go, choose a good place and arrange someone to tell me, the railway will be repaired over there, and the materials will be transported over in the future." ”

Zhang Fu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Your Highness, what kind of weapon is it?" ”

"Many!" Zhu Gaoxian looked outside, and at some point, the snow began to fall in the sky, and one by one the crystal snowflakes fell down, fell on the branches, covered with golden glazed tiles, and the sky and the earth became white.

"You want to build airplanes so that people can fly in the sky and go where they want to go in an instant; To build missiles, guard every inch of our Ming land, and launch powerful missiles to any part of the earth; I want to build an aircraft carrier, so that my navy can travel in any sea area without hindrance......" He turned to look at Zhang Fu, "I also want to send people to the moon to see, I want to launch satellites, so that everyone's communication can be unhindered." ”

How ambitious is that? Just imagining it, it is a great thing, but seeing that His Highness seems to be confident, Zhang Fu's breathing became extremely short, and he almost couldn't suppress his emotions, "Your Highness, if you can help Your Highness, you will definitely do your best, may I have a better tomorrow!" ”

"May I have a better tomorrow!" Zhu Gaoxian stretched out his hand and slammed it with Zhang Fu's palm, the two young people were both ambitious and imposing.

After the snow, Zhu Di moved the idea of going to Yamato Prefecture for a vacation, the hot springs over there made him feel very comfortable, and after getting up, Zhu Gaosui arranged for someone to pick him up, Zhu Di instructed someone to prepare, and set off in three days.

Zhu Gaoxian couldn't leave, so Zhu Di ordered Zhu Gaoxian to supervise the country, and the affairs of the imperial court were given full authority to Zhu Gaoxian.

Xu still didn't want to go, reluctant to be a slave, Zhu Gaoxian worked for his mother for a long time, saying that she should go to Yamato Prefecture as soon as possible to recuperate, and the most important thing is to take care of her body.

After saying a few words, Xu had no choice but to set off with Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxian saw off his parents at the Zhigu wharf, and watched the warship slowly leave the wharf and disappear into the wind and snow before Zhu Gaoxian drove back.

Zhang Fu led the troops to the west, he walked along the Hexi corridor, walking at the foot of the Qilian Mountain, where the scenery is picturesque, the road has not been repaired, the Mongolian Plateau on the right, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau on the left, everything here is lonely, the heaven and earth seem very heavy, it seems that you can hear the camel bell from the distant time and space.

There are still moats left over from ancient times, but His Royal Highness the Four Princes of the Ming Dynasty never thought of building the Great Wall here to defend against foreign enemies.

The purpose of Zhang Fu's visit was to find a suitable place to build a city here, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to establish a military research base here, and the reason why it was here was also because this was the gate to the west, and there was a wide avenue in front of the door.

Zhang Fu has a unique vision, and after he went all the way, he chose the town of Jiuquan just as later generations chose Jiuquan as a satellite launch base.

When Zhang Fu's letter was delivered to the capital, Zhu Gaoxian had a meeting with the courtiers in the Chunhe Palace, and he read Zhang Fu's letter at a glance and handed it to Song Li, "Jiuquan is a good place to help the king build the railway from Beijing to Jiuquan!" ”
