"The 350-mile railroad laid every year is indeed less."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied with the speed of laying the rails, it was only 350 miles a year, could he still see this railway artery running through the east and west?

How can we speed up the laying of railways?

After thinking about it, he finally found that it was still the population, and with enough population, he could achieve his goal.

Dilate!

In today's Europe, there are nearly one million prisoners of war, and Zhu Yuanzhang wants to pull those people to the northern steppes and let them help lay the railway.

Ma Xiuying saw Zhu Yuanzhang's eagerness, she also understood the importance of the railway artery to Daming, but she also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a very urgent mood, Ma Xiuying comforted: "Don't be too anxious, now we can only lay 350 miles of railways a year, that's because our raw materials are insufficient, and the proficiency of the workers is not up to standard. ”

Ma Xiuying's comfort made Zhu Yuanzhang's mood a little better, but he still said: "Build a factory, let's build more steel mills, and mobilize all the manpower that can be moved!" Qiwu is reluctant to use local ore...... Now we can't take care of it so much, it's a big deal that we have the opportunity to fill in the hollowed-out mine again in the future! ”

Zhu Han is reluctant to use domestic resources, thinking that they have occupied overseas land, of which plundering resources is a very key part, Zhu Yuanzhang is an urgent son, of course he does not want to drag, he decided to mine domestic minerals first, and then pull overseas ores over and bury them in the ground.

If Zhu Han knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, and there was no one who could think so.

Liaodong is developing very well, the heavy industry zone has been formed, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is in a hurry, he has to conform to the development of the realistic situation, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say: "Lan Yu doesn't know what to eat, he has been fighting Rome for so long, why doesn't he want to engage in development?" Are you ready to be the Emperor of the Earth outside? No, let's write him a letter and scold him well. ”

“……”

Ma Xiuying: Lan Yu still doesn't know what a train is, right?

But now Zhu Yuanzhang obviously doesn't think about this, he just wants to vent his emotions, and he doesn't think about anything else at all.

As for scolding Lan Yu...... Scold if you want.

Beating children on rainy days, being idle is also idle, and Lan Yu is also cheap, and he is not at ease if he is not scolded.

After writing the letter scolding Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang told Ma Xiuying in an urgent manner about the eight hundred miles sent from Yingtian: "Let's let Biao'er supervise the country, and Qiwu assists, these two people are in the court, and they just let it go, and basically don't interfere in the government affairs of the court." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied, he felt that Zhu Biao, as the crown prince and the future emperor, should be diligent in his administration, instead of handing over all government affairs to the minister.

No matter how capable the minister is, after all, he and the royal family are not of the same mind, how can Zhu Biao and Zhu Han hand over the affairs of the court to the hundred officials? Even if it is handed over to them, Zhu Biao has to understand it.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang talk about family affairs, ...... Ma Xiuying can no longer be regarded as not hearing, she does not participate in the affairs of the court, but Zhu Yuanzhang often whispers in her ear, Ma Xiuying knows the things in the court quite well.

"What are you complaining about, I told you before the Seventh Five-Year Plan that you want to separate the government affairs of the court, and you have to monopolize the power."

complained to Zhu Yuanzhang first, and then said: "Qiwu did this to take care of Biao'er, now Biao'er is still young, it is the time to grow his body, if he has to deal with government affairs like you, his body will be exhausted." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly defended: "That seventy-five will not ......"

I wanted to say that Qiwu should help deal with more government affairs, but he couldn't say anything about it halfway through.

With Zhu Han's character, he can stay in Yingtian to help Zhu Biao now, which is already a very remarkable thing, and I expect him to do more work...... That's just whimsical.

Ma Xiuying said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You are the emperor, Biao'er is the prince, what do you want to do, but you can't ask Biao'er to be the same as you." ”

Everyone has their own way of being an emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't force Zhu Biao to do exactly the same as him.

Seeing Ma Xiuying's attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say anything more to defend his point of view, but he had to shut up.

In terms of reasoning, Zhu Yuanzhang is not Ma Xiuying's opponent.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Forget it, we don't care what Qiwu and Biao'er do, but if we know that they are not doing well, we can't watch them mess around!" ”

To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang still doesn't want to believe that anyone other than the 'old Zhu family' can do this, but once he finds out that doing this is not beneficial to Daming, he will stop Zhu Han from doing it as soon as possible.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want him to have any turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, which he had worked so hard to establish.

Ma Xiuying said: "There are seven or five here, and it will only get better and better, and then ...... Although the Seventh Five-Year Plan has faded out of the court over the years, who can forget the means of the Seventh Five-Year Plan? ”

Governing the army with an iron fist, Zhu Han used his way to create a Ming army that swept the world.

Strictly administering officials, and now Zhu Yuanzhang's decree on the governance of hundreds of officials is basically revised on the basis of Zhu Han's proposal.

If anyone underestimates Zhu Han, he will only make himself ugly in the end.

was said by Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't refute it anymore, and now Yingtian's court situation is not the same as he imagined, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang a little manic: "Okay, okay, let's not care, okay?" It's hard to come out, let's not care about those pickled things in the court, tomorrow we will go shopping and play! How to play outside, let's play. ”

“……”

Ma Xiuying's face became a little unsightly, and she looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "When you go out to play on Qiwu, you will find a few foreign women, and Your Majesty also wants to find them, right?" ”

Even if you Zhu Yuanzhang play in private, Ma Xiuying can also turn a blind eye, and now you are actually saying in front of me that you want to find a foreign woman?

It's true that Ma Xiuying doesn't have a temper, right?

“……”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt a little numb, and he hurriedly explained: "We, we don't mean that, we, we want to take you shopping together, sister, don't you like shopping?" We, we didn't think about finding a foreign woman, really not! ”

"Hmph."

Ma Xiuying snorted coldly, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang with a roll of his eyes, and then turned to leave.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang regrets it a little.

If you come out to inspect the world, you will come out, and there seem to be a lot of things that you can't do with Ma Xiuying.

"It's our own fault...... is so dignified, why do you have to say nothing in front of the girl? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came out to inspect, although they would focus on inspecting the world, but in their spare time, they would still go out shopping.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's unscrupulous words yesterday, Ma Xiuying didn't give Zhu Yuanzhang a good face at first, but soon the happiness of shopping made Ma Xiuying smile, and the unhappiness that happened last night quickly disappeared.

Ma Xiuying enjoyed the fun of shopping, although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to carry the bag himself, but this kind of aimless shopping really made Zhu Yuanzhang's iron feet feel a little painful.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Why should I take Ma Xiuying with me?

……

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came to go shopping, although they could enjoy the fun of shopping, but they did not buy things for the two of them, but to visit the orphans in the orphanage.

Because of the war for many years, there are many orphans who have lost their parents due to the war all over the country, including men and women, Zhu Han learned of this situation, and immediately went to discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang, he established an orphanage in the province as a unit, adopted orphans who lost their parents due to the war, and imparted knowledge to both men and women......

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was opposed to the matter of women reading at first, but Zhu Han was at the dinner table when she was talking about things, and Ma Xiuying was also there, after she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's objection, her face became bad to look at, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed his mind for the sake of harmony at night, and waved his hand: Read! All read! Our people of the Ming Dynasty, both men and women, should study, and Ma Xiuying became satisfied.

Including Zhu Han, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as his relatives, righteous sons, and Xungui have all made great contributions to these orphanages, anyway, it is useless to keep the money, it is like a pile of metal in the hand, it is better to take it out to fund the children.

It is worth mentioning that the orphanages in these provinces have a common name: Daming Royal Welfare Institute, and Zhu Yuanzhang is the honorary director of all welfare homes.

In other words, the children living in the welfare home are all Zhu Yuanzhang's 'children'.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to spend money, adopting orphans is the same as the idea of adopting a righteous son at the beginning, let them take themselves as a link and unite around him, and now there are so many orphanages, the children in them are both civil and military, Zhu Yuanzhang does not expect everyone to become talents, they can make achievements at the grassroots level, and the early investment is not a loss.

This time in Liaodong, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to go around the orphanage, after all, he is the honorary dean, and he has to go to see what happened to his 'child', right?

Ma Xiuying also likes children very much, so she is happier than Zhu Yuanzhang, after arriving at the orphanage, Zhu Yuanzhang went to see these children in class, and Ma Xiuying went to the kitchen with the women hired by the orphanage to cook for the children.

Ma Xiuying stewed a pot of hot braised pork, fried a vegetarian dish, and then boiled a pot of fish soup, and after Ma Xiuying finished doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang had already mingled with the children in the orphanage.

When he was cooking, he and Ma Xiuying also ate with the children in the orphanage, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept putting meat in the bowls of these children, for fear that these children would not be full.

Gu Tongzhi next to him saw Zhu Yuanzhang's movements, although he could understand that Zhu Yuanzhang was taking care of the child, but ...... Zhu Yuanzhang did this, which made Gu Tongzhi very uncomfortable.

When you give the meat in the bowl to the children, isn't that a clear indication that I am squeezing the children's food?

Gu Tongzhi whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, it's good to eat the food in our bowl by ourselves, children can't eat so much meat, we must pay attention to balanced nutrition." ”

Hearing Gu Tongzhi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "What is nutritionally balanced?" Children can only grow strong by eating more meat, are you reluctant to give up these two pieces of meat or what? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not like that, I'm a great thing to set up a welfare home to take care of the children of the world, how can I treat the children badly?"

Gu Tongzhi explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Meat should be eaten, vegetables should also be eaten, so that the body will be better, these children have chickens (eggs) to eat in the morning and evening, and there are meals in the evening, today we eat meat and rice, tomorrow we may change to chicken nuggets and brown rice, be sure to ensure the health of the children." ”

In order to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's misunderstanding, Gu Tongzhi explained a lot, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not as angry as he was just now after hearing it, nodded and said: "You are a bit interesting as a Zhizhou, you are the first one who dares not to let us put meat on the children." ”

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's compliment, Gu Tongzhi was happy, but he still said very humbly: "The minister is just doing his duty." ”

It's not a merit, it's a duty.

Just such a sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang remember Gu Tongzhi.

When arranging the candidates for the governor of Liaodong, Zhu Han did think about it, Liaodong, as a land outside the Guan, has rich resources, and it is also a very suitable 'experimental field' in Zhu Han's heart, so the officials in charge of Liaodong need to have a certain vision, and they need to have an understanding of the new policy of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Tongzhi used to be the secretary of Zhu Han's side, plus he originally had a bachelor from the former Yuan Jinshi, Zhu Han also arranged him in Liaodong with a try-and-see attitude, Zhu Han was not at ease at first, who knew that Gu Tongzhi did a very good job, Zhu Han's heart that he had been carrying gradually relaxed.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying liked to stay with the children very much, and they didn't leave until the evening, sitting in the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang happily grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand and said: "Sister, our Ming income is indeed very high, higher than that of all dynasties, haha...... Our Ming Dynasty has only been established for nine years, but it has created a great cause that far surpasses that of Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors! However, we also have a lot of expenses, let's just say that these children, how long does it take to train them to become talents? ”

Ma Xiuying put forward a different idea: "Qiwu likes children too much, the children in the orphanage can't do anything other than study, farming, raising livestock, these children should experience it, otherwise how can they know the truth of 'every grain is hard'?" If you want me to say, let the children learn to live in addition to resting, raising chickens, herding cattle, and mowing grass...... They should learn to do these things. ”

"Well, you can do that."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that what Ma Xiuying said was reasonable, and said to Ma Xiuying: "Seventh Five-Year is to like children too much, but they can't be blindly spoiled, they should be allowed to experience more, let's go back and make modifications, and the children let them do some labor within their ability to cultivate the children's ability to be independent." ”

The husband and wife talked more and more, and at night, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to appreciate the foreign beauties from Goryeo, but accompanied Ma Xiuying to rest together.

has just reconciled with Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang will not touch her moldy head at this time.
