Chapter Sixty-Eight: King Yan's Question

As soon as Li Yunxing heard the letter to Nanjing, he immediately said, "Is the teacher leaving?" ”

He Xi said: "Although there are some concerns here, I will return to Nanjing after all. ”

Yes, He Xi has done a lot of things in Taiping Mansion during this time, but there are too many things that have not been done.

After all, the first batch of official enrollment of the College of Engineering and Science cannot be seen by He Xi. Nowadays, the students of the College of Engineering and Science are all recruited by He Xi, and they are all abnormal patterns. After all, at that time, there was no place, no teachers, no teaching materials, and nothing in the College of Engineering and Science, so it could not be recruited on a large scale.

This is no longer the case. Although the teachers are still only Yang Zhen and Ge Tiangong. But once the textbooks are available, some subjects can be taught by the first students. And a lot of engineering stuff requires internships.

Now the internship site has also been decided. Now there is the Ma'anshan Mine. There may also be the Taiping Iron Works in the future. The appointment of these people, He Xi decided not to give up. In the future, these two places will be affiliated factories and mines of the College of Engineering and Science.

There's a lot to do here.

But He Xi knew that it was Jingshi who could really decide everything in the Ming Dynasty.

There are so many things in the world that he can't do it himself.

Now his arrangement in Taiping Mansion is already the ultimate he can do, and the rest is to go to Nanjing to seek Zhu Yuanzhang's support.

King Yan and Princess Yan came together.

King Yan also said to Princess Yan at this moment: "Actually, this year's things are very strange, this year's father's fifty-fifth birthday. This is not an integer, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be so grand. Bring all the brothers back. There must be something in there that I don't know. Now my father-in-law has returned. Princess? ”

Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun didn't know her husband's thoughts, and said, "I know, I'll go back and ask my father, what is my father's mind?" But, you. It's just that you have too many thoughts, and your father has already said about you, saying that you just need to be a good son in front of your father, and your father has his own arrangements. Can I treat you badly? ”

At this moment, Zhu Di didn't think about it at all. smiled lightly at the princess's words and said, "Yes." There's just one thing I have to figure out. That was last year, when the emperor suddenly sent someone to reprimand, and there was nothing after that, as if it was over. What the hell is going on? ”

This matter has turned several times in King Yan's mind.

I haven't been able to figure it out.

Zhu Gaochi, who is only a few years old, is still asleep in the arms of his mother at the moment, and the second child is even younger, less than two years old. Such a young child is tired of carriage and horses, and it is easy to die, so he didn't bring it.

Zhu Di couldn't understand, he didn't teach his two sons strictly?

Princess Yan said: "What do you want to do so much? ”

Zhu Di lowered his voice and said, "You say, is my father old and confused?" ”

Princess Yan slapped Zhu Di on the back of her hand and said, "I'm going to die, can I say this?" ”

At this moment, they are on the ship, and they are about to arrive at the Jubaomen Pier. There are many people on board, and the partition wall has ears. When these words spread out, King Yan was not easy to explain.

Zhu Di also knew, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just saying it." ”

Princess Yan said; "I can't say it."

Zhu Di said; "Good. Good. ”

At this time, someone outside said: "Lord, the princess has arrived at the dock." ”

King Yan and Princess Yan came out of the cabin. Looking at the Jubaomen Wharf from afar, I saw that there was a flow of people coming and going, and the boats were crowded next to each other on the river, almost a moving bridge. King Yan sighed and said: "The prosperous place of Jinling, since ancient times Emperor Zhou, I haven't seen such a prosperous place for a long time, and Beiping can't compare with Jinling at all." ”

Actually, King Yan is still good. Beiping City has more or less people left behind. Although there have been wars over the years, the city walls of the capital have been demolished. But the disciples are still there, it is a big mansion, and in the northwest region, Fu Youde moved all the population to Guanzhong back then, and there were only more than a million people. It's a barren land. The main battlefield in Henan, Hebei and the Central Plains will take more than ten years to recover.

These places are not as prosperous as Nanjing.

"Sell the newspaper, sell the newspaper. Yingchuan Hou reported a great victory, and the Mu family of Lijiang Prefecture went to Beijing to pay tribute. "A small child, carrying a newspaper bag on his back, was selling on the dock.

After more than a month of repeated revisions, the entire newspaper printing was finally completed. And the prince couldn't wait to start selling newspapers. Of course, we're still testing the waters. 10,000 sheets are printed every day, more than half of which are distributed to the provincial capitals and counties of the Yamen. And the remaining thousands of copies were sold in Nanjing.

Five copper coins per serving.

Although it may not be able to fully cover the cost of newspaper distribution. But the trend towards newspaper profitability is clear.

Of course, the crown prince is not a man who values money. If the newspaper really said that it was so useful, the prince would rather lose money.

King Yan had also read the newspaper, but he thought that this newspaper was only available to the government. But I don't want to see children selling here. I was very curious for a while. He said to the left and right, "Go and sell all the boy's newspapers." ”

The people around King Yan agreed, and in a moment, all the newspapers were sold.

At this moment, King Yan had already changed to a carriage. King Yan and Princess Yan were two people, one took one copy, and the other was given to the accompanying staff and officials. There is a lot of information above, which King Yan doesn't know.

King Yan naturally has his own intelligence network. But King Yan was on the road during this period of time, and he was not closely connected with his intelligence network, not to mention, King Yan's intelligence network was mostly in the north. There are also some connections in Nanjing, and there are no more in the farther south.

The news of Yunnan, King Yan naturally did not know.

After watching it, King Yan Fu Youde broke several toasts, and made many toasts submit, like the Mu family in Lijiang Mansion, to pay tribute to Beijing to show his submission. It's just that King Yan was not happy, but sighed and said: "It seems that this Yunnan has not been calm for more than ten years, and it is estimated that for a long time in the future, there will be no big wars, and small wars will continue." ”

Princess Yan said: "Why do you think that the imperial court can't take Yunnan Tusi." ”

Yan Wang said: "Naturally not. I know that I sighed for the Marquis of Yingchuan, and I estimated that General Fu Lao, and now I want to go back to Beijing and go crazy. ”

For juniors, Yunnan is probably a place to brush up on qualifications and merits. After all, core areas such as Yunnan, Dali, and Kunming have been taken down. But there are toasts everywhere, and in the mountains and mountains, there are few local Han people, and there are many Yi people. Even if the king of heaven is here, it is impossible to make people's hearts clear all at once. It's a long-term process, for example.

Among them, both soft and hard must be grasped, and Enwei must be used.

Ordinary people are not qualified for this position, and they must not only mobilize troops, but also know how to win over the hearts of the people and calm the people.

Although Fu Youde is a martial artist and a little literate, he is by no means a martial artist. He is naturally able to stabilize Yunnan. But the problem is that Fu Youde, as the oldest general of the Ming Dynasty, can hang up the handsome seal. In Yunnan, there are more than 10,000 people in all the counterinsurgency, and there are only a few thousand people in chaos. Let Fu Youde go to Ping, it is simply a knife to kill chickens.

Fu Youde's inadequacy is not enough. It's a waste of time in Yunnan. Especially Xu Da's first battle against Monan. And on the steppe there were a few rounds of tug-of-war with the Mongols. The Mongolian cavalry penetrated deep into Monan, and the king of Yan took his headquarters into battle. However, the Mongols were very cunning, and when they saw no opportunity, they immediately returned to the army.

But in any case, the credit for fighting the Mongols is in the pacification of the southwest, especially most of the southern part of Mo was used by the imperial court. In the future, there will be even fewer places to fight.

How could Fu Youde not be in a hurry.

Princess Yan said; "I'm not interested in any of that, I'm interested in the newspaper itself. We can only see the day's in Peking. It's a pity. ”

King Yan sighed and said, "Yes." It's a pity. The eldest brother of the prince didn't know who to help. This method is so powerful. ”

King Yan said this pity, I don't know that it is because the prince is so powerful, and it is a pity that he has no chance to be on the throne, but I really feel that it is a pity that I can't see the newspaper of the day in Beiping.

Princess Yan said: "Wait a while, just meet the eldest brother of the prince and ask." But I've heard that it was Ho's suggestion. ”

"Sister Anqing's concubine He Xi." King Yan secretly said in his heart: "The time when he appeared is close to the time when my father scolded me, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with him." ”
