"I, Daming, will move 'Beijing' from Kaifeng to Beiping."

"At the same time, my father will be in charge of Peking for a while."

After listening to what Zhu Xiongying said, everyone was taken aback.

Li Jinglong stood up, in the past two years, because of the recurrence of Li Wenzhong's old physical injury, Li Jinglong began to take charge of the intelligence affairs of the Military Intelligence Department, and many of the trade between Daming and Xifan were also in his hands.

The Military Intelligence Department had a number of caravans trading with the Northern Yuan, Chagatai Khanate, and Tubo, so he knew very well that the impact of this matter was far-reaching.

"Your Royal Highness, if you say this, wouldn't this trip be?"

Li Jinglong was shocked.

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"This trip is to establish a military factory in Beiping, and rebuild Beiping City, expand Haijin Town Tianjin, in the future, the focus of my Ming Dynasty will be placed in Beijiang, my father, will also live in Beiping for a period of time."

Chang Mao was first delighted, and then surprised.

"However, in this way, in case there is a change in Nanjing......"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "You should still remember the thing I talked about before, the Kong Ming lantern that can fly in the sky." ”

Chang Mao nodded heavily.

Actually, a hot air balloon is not something very difficult to make, the difficulty is that it can go with the wind, which requires some kerosene and a huge cowhide as an umbrella for the hot air balloon, which is not difficult.

Nowadays, there is an easier way to get a hot air balloon to travel downwind......

People ride in hot air balloons, all floating in the air, galloping with military horses leading ropes.

Although this method is a bit sandy, but in fact, the horse is very labor-saving, and the north to the south is mostly along the trade winds, so it runs very fast, and if the rider is lightweight, the horse can run wild without pressure.

Starting from Beiping, day and night, the stars change horses, because from Beiping to Nanjing all the way are plains, and there are post stations in thirty or fifty miles, so this way is very labor-saving and fast, run fast for more than a day, you can run to Nanjing.

It's like flying a kite.

In addition, it is a boat ride.

Thanks to the cold air trade winds in the north, starting from the Bohai Sea in the north, to Nanjing, the way is actually smooth, the sea boat is very fast, take the fast boat, and the elite Lux can also arrive in the day by rowing in several shifts.

There are eagle letters and pigeon letters, from Peking to Nanjing, to transmit emergency information, and to be able to communicate in one day.

So, transportation and communication are not a problem.

Everyone's eyes flickered, and they were all digesting the impact that this matter would have on Da Ming.

Daming, go to Kaifeng's "Beijing" Zhili, and change "Beijing" to Beiping.

And the crown prince will sit in Beiping for a period of time, supervising the affairs of Yanjin, Liaodong and other places.

What surprising news.

All the prince's forces before were basically concentrated in Nanjing, Yingtianfu, and those officials in Nanjing were basically familiar with the prince's way of doing things.

Now, the prince suddenly changed the town of Beiping and designated Beiping as Beijing.

Doesn't this mean that the Ming Dynasty is going to implement the rotation system between the north and the south?

This is actually the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty today, the separation between the north and the south is too serious, take the imperial examination in the fifteenth year of Hongwu as an example, there are almost no scholars in the north to participate, and the only few Qilu princes who participated are also the sons of Confucian families like the crown princess Lu who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at the beginning.

The small landlords at the bottom of the family and the wealthy big landlords all took a wait-and-see attitude towards the imperial examination.

The more rapid the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, the more serious the separation between the north and the south became.

Because of the good foundation in the south, the development is extremely fast, and because of the specific historical environment in the north, the 16 states of Youyun have been left behind for more than 400 years before returning to the embrace of China......

As strong as the Tang Dynasty, the capital was Chang'an, but it could not control Hebei......

It can be seen from this that the two capitals are in rotation and the importance of Beijing in Beiping.

At the same time, it can also prevent the fourth uncle Zhu Di from becoming bigger.

After all, the crown prince Zhu Biao personally sat in Beiping, and no one had anything to say, and Zhu Di could only obediently give way.

Li Jinglong took a deep breath, frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked: "Your Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, does the crown prince move Beiping and make Beiping Beijing, does it also mean that I am going to attack the Northern Guard Army Tuntian?" ”

Zhu Xiongying grinned.

He picked up a cup of ginger soup, took a sip, and instructed everyone to drink a little too to avoid catching a cold, and then said: "Northern Weisuotian, I didn't dare to move for the past two years, because there were frequent wars in the north. ”

"Now, the people of Shanxi and Yandi, after two years, have become more and more recognized by the Ming Dynasty, and you see that the immigrants in Shanxi have gone a lot smoother, why? Brother Jinglong, you talk about it. ”

Li Jinglong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, this is the examination for me." ”

He took out a silver dollar from his pocket.

Rubbing the Daming silver dollar in his hand, Li Jinglong said: "I guess, mainly because my Daming Royal Bank, opened all over the place, immigrants can get a treasure money subsidy no matter where they go, my Daming Royal said yes, the people all recognize the Zhu Ming royal family's golden signboard." ”

"Also, even the officers of our Ming Dynasty's Nine Sides of the Guard have also made a lot of money in the past two years."

Changmao Road.

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"Nowadays, my Ming national strength is thriving, the Northern Yuan and Chagatai Khanate and other national strength are declining, the Northern Yuan is now not to mention tea, even if it is an iron pot can not be made, all have to be imported from my Ming Dynasty, they buy a pot, need to use cows, horses and sheepskins to exchange, we buy their things, give treasure money, or Ming silver coins."

"Over time, Daming treasure banknotes and Daming silver coins have passed all over the world......"

"It's only been two years now, and it's not too powerful, we think, in a few years, the Northern Yuan, Chagatai Khanate, Samarkand, Wa Kingdom, and Goryeo, either go out of the Royal Bank by themselves, and establish an exchange rate with my Ming Dynasty to exchange foreign exchange with each other, so as to flush the influence of my Ming silver money, or, we have to kneel and beg our Ming Royal Bank to settle in, otherwise, the economy of these countries will collapse!"

Li Jinglong, who has been in charge of Western trade for a long time and knows a little about the economy, was shocked when he heard this.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that this Daming Royal Bank was really terrifying.

Chang Mao also pondered for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "We understand, the generals of the guard station don't need to be greedy for ink land now, because the land is not valuable, but my Ming treasure money is valuable, and over the years, the Northern Yuan and Chagatai Khanate have traded, and the commander of the border guard has passed the toll, which is a lot of money, and they don't need to keep their eyes on the land now." ”

"And the old people of Huaixi."

Li Jinglong added.

"The old people in Huaixi were staring at the one acre and three points of land before, each in the south of the Yangtze River to encroach on the military tuntian, eager to make tens of thousands of acres of land at home, as a result of the Ming Royal Bank, plus the emperor-private joint venture shop, and exempted from business tax, Huaixi that gang of noble marquis only found that doing business is much faster than farming, and now they are all preparing caravans, either go to the South China Sea to buy timber, gems, buy grain, or go to Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, sell soap and soap glass mirrors to the barbarians, buy cattle, sheep, horses and pigs from there, and come back with a lot of money."

"I heard that now many craftsmen in Yingtianfu are the foremen of the craftsmen who build houses, and behind them are all nobles and nobles, and they have found a lot of veterans to build houses in Nanjing, and many new houses in Yingtianfu need good wood and materials, and most of them are transported from Annam, Myanmar and other places."

Zhu Xiongying grinned when he heard this.

Nanjing is really, rich and charming.

Because in the past two years, the deposits of the Daming Royal Bank have been increasing, and the people's recognition of the Daming silver coins and Daming treasure banknotes has become higher and higher, and the reputation of the Royal Bank has become stronger and stronger.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty exported various commodities to neighboring countries in exchange for the rapid development of the economy.

Take Nanjing, for example.

Nowadays, Nanjing's famous businessmen are emerging in an endless stream, and there are business opportunities everywhere.

Many places are undergoing major repairs and constructions, because there are not too many centuries-old good trees in the Ming Dynasty, so they bought them from Annam and Burma.

Piggybacking, the hands of the Department of National Security and the Department of Military Intelligence also reached into these two places.

There are many rich people, and the amateur entertainment life is also enriched.

In Nanjing, Daming Daily is a very popular newspaper.

This newspaper is edited by Jiangyin Confucian, Shi Nai'an's personal disciple, Luo Guanzhong.

In addition to the political news of various places, the war of the Ming Dynasty, etc., there are also market gossip, all kinds of advertisements, as well as surrounding countries, where there are good trees, where there is rice, where there are silver mines.

Because Daming Daily also offered a large bounty to collect clues about sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

This also triggered a trend of going to the sea to do business, and many Fujian and Guangdong merchants went to Luzon to pan for gold.

As for Myanmar and other places, there are now more and more Ming businessmen.

The economy is prosperous and developing, and the military is also becoming stronger day by day.

In Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, the local leaders enjoyed the benefits of the strong Ming silver coins, and there were many fewer rebellions.

And the former Yuan Mongol soldiers who went to Yunnan and other places to garrison the border did not have the kind of thing in their previous life, they would rather rebel and return to Nanjing, and die in Nanjing...... They are all looking forward to going to the Daming Royal Bank of the Guard every month to receive one yuan of Daming silver coins, which can be exchanged for two sheep, several sheepskins, and if it makes sense, they can also change to an aunt......

Changes like this are staged all over the Ming Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan, Chagatai, Samarkand, Goryeo, Waguo, and Annam around the Ming Dynasty are all hollowed out by the strong Daming treasure banknotes, and the rich people of the surrounding countries hoarded the Ming treasure money, and the common people of the Ming Dynasty got a large number of products from several surrounding countries......

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "This matter will be made public sooner or later, but now my father has not announced the decree in public, so you should not make a noise for the time being." ”

Li Jinglong and others nodded yes.

Outside, Zhou Kuan came to report again.

"Young master, Jinyi Wei is here to report, His Royal Highness King Lu is on the island and reef in front."

"Oh?"

Zhu Xiongying's eyes lit up.

……

Seeing Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Tan's mood was better.

He pulled Zhu Xiongying and said: "Xiongying, look, this is where I cook, this is called Dog Climbing Reef, we have a total of sixty comrades-in-arms, as well as three dogs, more than fifty rabbits, a mushroom house, and a big water cellar." ”

Zhu Tan, who is two years older, is no longer the teenager he once was.

In the past, he was young and frivolous, and he liked to compare everywhere.

Now he is full of youth, a little more calm, and at this moment, he has just experienced life and death, and he has turned to another way to transfer his sadness.

"This is my cooking, noodle fish, we can still eat cooking cakes and oil swirls, but we don't eat much, every other month, there is a boat to deliver fried noodles, you see, we often catch our own sea fish......"

The more Zhu Tan is like this, the more Zhu Xiongying can feel that there is something in his heart.

He sighed softly.

"Uncle Ten...... Do you have friends who died in battle? ”

Zhu Xiongying hesitated for a moment, but still pursed his lips and asked.

"That's a comrade-in-arms!"

Zhu Tan said angrily.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes sad and angry, as if he realized that he had been yelling like this.

Zhu Tan turned his head, lowered his head and choked up: "He likes my cooking, and he writes poems to me." ”

Zhu Xiongying gently patted him on the shoulder.

Originally, I wanted to move over Zhu Tan's two sentences.

Seeing him like this at this moment, Zhu Xiongying couldn't speak.

He said: "Uncle Ten, people have a day of life and death, although your robe is deceased, but he sacrificed to protect my Ming people, my Ming people will not forget him, and the Ming court will not forget him!" ”

"If you really treat him as a friend, after becoming a vassal, you must diligently cultivate internal affairs, supervise local officials to make decisions for the people, and give the people a good life. Zhu Tan hummed softly.

"Okay, don't talk about this, you have stayed on the island and reef for a long time, and the food does not have much nutrition, I specially brought you a lot of food from Yingtianfu, including dried bananas, dried hawthorn, and a dish, which is very suitable for your soldiers on the border."

As he spoke, he instructed Zheng He, set aside the food, and ate the noodles and fish cooked by Zhu Tan with the officers and soldiers on the islands and reefs.

"What's the dish?"

"You'll know when you eat it!"

Zhu Xiongying mysteriously sold a pass, and the fleet stopped for a while, because there was water on the islands and reefs, and by the way, some water was replenished.

Zhu Xiongying ordered the people on his boat to have a meal at noon on this dog climbing the reef, while the other big ships went to the Dengzhou Navy Division under the leadership of Zhu Biao.

Luckily, it's not that far from here.

Taking out the food, Zhu Tan's eyes widened in surprise.

This thing is a kind of grass-roots dish, according to Zhu Xiongying said, clear heat and detoxify, appetize and strengthen the spleen, and supplement nutrition, this thing is very resistant to seeds, and is a taste of traditional Chinese medicine, soldiers stationed on the island, there is no vegetable to eat for a long time, will accumulate food, stomach is not smooth, eat this herb, can be eaten as a vegetable, and can be smooth the intestines.

"This thing, called Houttuynia cordata, can also be dried and eaten, this is Uncle Mu Ying, the Duke of Qianguo, made a special trip from Yunnan to pay tribute, the guards in the north have a lot of accumulated food, the stomach is not smooth, and the tea is scarce, the dried roots of this Houttuynia cordata are ground into powder and mixed vegetables to eat can be appetizing, play some role of tea, and can also be eaten as a vegetable, it is a food for waste."

Zhu Tan heard that it was called Houttuynia cordata, smelled it, and almost retched out.

"This thing smells too bad!"

Zhu Xiongying glared at him.

"No matter how bad it is, can it smell worse than the smell of the thing? You can eat the salted fish, the fish, and the smell of the sea, and you can't eat this houttuynia is a traditional Chinese medicine? ”

When Zhu Tan heard this, he was still a little hesitant.

Zhu Xiongying gave him a blank look speechlessly.

"Uncle Ten, you are really used to staying in Nanjing, you are used to drinking tea, do you know that many guards in the north, like the guards in Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia and other places, don't talk about drinking tea all year round, the tea foam can't be seen, because tea is expensive, and now you look down on this Houttuynia cordata, which is sent to the Beidi Guard, is a good thing comparable to tea."

"The grain and straw in the north are easy to accumulate food, and this thing is the most smooth to the stomach!"

Zhu Tan reluctantly picked up the houttuynia and tasted it, which is now eaten with vinegar and salt.

"Does this smell smell so fishy when you dig it out?"

Zhu Tan's face was full of unpalatable, but he still endured it, chewed a few times and swallowed it.

"However, after eating, I feel that my spleen and stomach are much fresher, and I used to eat too much noodle fish, and I felt that the heartburn was a little pantothenic.

"Of course!"

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile.

"This thing can not only clear away heat, detoxify, open the spleen and strengthen the stomach, but also reduce swelling and treat sores, diuresis and dampness, clear heat and stop dysentery!"

"There are many guards in the north, the water is salty and bitter and can't be drunk, the animals are uncomfortable to drink, not to mention people, I searched all over the world for medicinal herbs, only to find that this Houttuynia cordata root is suitable, this thing is everywhere in Yunnan-Guichuan, fresh and durable, and the roots of the sun-dried are also durable, the soldiers of the northern guard are suitable for cooking, put them in flour and boil them together, boiled into gnocchi, which can remove sores and ulcers, hemorrhoids, blood in the stool, spleen and stomach heat, etc., and can also treat the carbuncle of the lungs suffering from fever."

"There is another biggest effect of this thing, diuretic."

"I corresponded with the third uncle, and he said that the water in some guards in Ningxia is salty and difficult to drink, and the soldiers can't pee after drinking it, and tea can improve the water quality, but tea is expensive, and the guards are reluctant to buy it, and the supply is limited."

"With this Houttuynia cordata, the guards over there are not afraid of stomach burns and salty water, which can relieve and relieve them."

Zhu Tan frowned.

He picked one up and chewed it again.

"It's a very good thing. ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled: "This is not the best, I still have something here." ”

He also instructed Zheng He to bring some sun-dried grass root-like food, this grass root is white, with knot-like whiskers on it, after drying, it looks like grass roots are not very strange, and the taste is not very obvious, mixed with some sun-dried mint leaves, herb leaves.

"There are a lot of wild mint in Yunguichuan, I asked the generals in Yunnan-Guichuan and other places to collect more wild mint, and the local barbarians picked it and sent it to the guard to exchange money, which not only drives the local economy, but also promotes national unity, mint leaves can be eaten, and you can also make tea and drink, as for this Huoxiang leaf, it is the same, Yunguichuan is everywhere."

"In our Jianghuai region, mint is also easy to grow, this thing will be distributed by the government in the back, and it will be sent to your officers and soldiers in the north, mint and Huoxiang are cheaper than tea, easy to plant, can relieve water salty and bitter, boil it with water and drink it, and the officers and soldiers on the border will not be afraid of not being able to pee."

"As for this, this thing is called Folded Ear Root, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine, which is sun-dried, can be made into tea and drunk, and can also be boiled and eaten.

Zhu Tan picked up a sun-dried folded ear root and sniffed it suspiciously.

"Why does this folded ear root smell so familiar?"

"This thing looks very similar to Houttuynia cordata, but it's even more shriveled, and it has no taste when it dries."

Zhu Xiongying pursed his lips, rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Ten, don't talk nonsense, Houttuynia cordata is Houttuynia cordata, and the root of the folded ear is the root of the folded ear, these are two kinds of plants." ”

Zhu Tan was puzzled: "Your tenth uncle and I don't study much, don't deceive me!" ”

Zhu Xiongying was suddenly angry, and said speechlessly: "Uncle Ten, how can you smear people's innocence out of thin air, if you don't believe it, you can taste it!" ”

"I, Zhu Xiongying, am known as the jade-faced honest Xiaolangjun, how can I deceive people!"
