Chapter Eighty-Six: Li Shanchang's Response

I don't know if Li Shanchang is really old. Still pretending to be confused, he didn't seem to think about why Zhu Yuanzhang took him on a northern tour.

Li Shanchang said tremblingly: "The old minister is going to let down Your Majesty, the old minister's eyes are not good, and his eyes are dim." I can't even see this Nanjing city. Even if you follow Your Majesty's northern tour, it's just for show. ”

"Why don't you want to tour north?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, others may be confused, but Li Shanchang will never be confused, he is just relying on the old and selling the old.

Li Shanchang is old. He is also the first hero of the founding of the country. killed Li Shanchang to pour dirty water on Zhu Yuanzhang himself. Waiting for Li Shanchang to die of old age is the best way. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang thought like this. But wait, wait, wait, wait until the prince died, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more seriously ill, and he was almost not saved.

That's when I woke up. Some people can't wait for him to die.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has read history. He knew that Li Shanchang had a long life. There is no problem in surviving at least a few more years. Therefore, this time during the northern tour, Zhu Yuanzhang must solve this problem.

Of course, this solution may not necessarily cost Li Shanchang's life.

Instead, Li Shanchang was willing to cooperate with Zhu Yuanzhang's big policy.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still willing to start and finish well.

Of course, if you don't eat a toast, then eat a penalty bar.

The journey is tiring. It's normal to be seriously ill. After all, people in their eighties. It's normal to die under any circumstances.

Li Shanchang said: "Your Majesty summoned, how dare the old minister?" It's just an old arm and an old leg. I am worried that if I get sick on the journey, I will miss His Majesty's interest. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't worry, this time I brought Doctor Dai with me, and most of them were by water. There won't be any problems. ”

Although, at this time, the canal was not repaired. However, the so-called canal in the Ming Dynasty was not a large amount of work. During the Chengzu period, it took less than a year to repair. That is naturally not the opening of Beijing and Hangzhou. It was only repaired on the basis of the Yuan Dynasty.

From Yangzhou to Beijing, there are some sections that are not passable. But it's only one or two hundred miles. And Zhu Yuanzhang didn't completely follow the canal, these hundreds of miles were not a problem at all, and the canal borrowed the Wei River in the north. In the Huai'an section of Yangzhou, it is a canal that has been built since the Wuyue period. There is no problem.

Therefore, most of this road is waterway.

Li Shanchang said; "Thank you, Your Majesty, for loving the old minister. The old minister was grateful. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang, some words brewed in his heart, and finally did not say it. He didn't believe that Li Shanchang didn't understand the meaning of his words, he just didn't want to respond. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't make it clear.

Because once the words are clear, there is no room for manoeuvre.

Li Shanchang must also choose one, life and death.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to kill Li Shanchang in Nanjing, and there was another obstacle, that is, Queen Ma.

Queen Ma is still alive today, and she is mainly based on health preservation. I don't care about anything else anymore. However, Queen Ma was kind-hearted, and she saved many ministers under Zhu Yuanzhang's violent temper at the beginning. Li Shanchang is the head of the heroes. Queen Ma was even more reluctant to let Zhu Yuanzhang have such a stigma.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Shanchang did not respond, sneered in his heart, and said secretly; "There's no hurry." So with a smile on his face, he talked about the old things with Li Shanchang. Who built this river? How is he now. Who built the wall? When attacking Nanjing today, where did you hit first and who was the first?

Yunyun.

Speaking of these old things, the two seem to have a common topic all of a sudden. Recalling the previous eventful years, I have infinite emotion.

As Zhu Yuanzhang thought, Elder Li Shan. But he was not confused, maybe when Zhu Yuanzhang was just beginning, Li Shanchang didn't guess the intention, but later he also understood. It's just, what if you get it? Li Shanchang didn't want to hold Zhu Yuanzhang's stinky feet on his deathbed.

When people are sixty years old, he is eighty. Can't you live as you like? Let Zhu Chongba know, Lao Tzu just doesn't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to bow your head again, do you have the ability to bite me?

Even ordinary people live to eighty, and they are still human. Li Shanchang is the first hero of the founding of the country. I've lived to this age. Zhu Yuanzhang really killed him. In the future, Zhu Yuanzhang's face will not be cleaned. No matter how Li Shanchang thought about it, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's gains outweighed the losses.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also old. All sixty years old. People of this age. Don't you want to make a name after you?

So, I pretended to be confused.

There is the current situation.

It's a pity that Li Shanchang didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang for two lifetimes.

------

With Zhu Yuanzhang's northern tour, one order after another flew to the north. It is the order of the magistrates everywhere to greet the holy car. After all, there are tens of thousands of people in Zhu Yuanzhang and his party. Although they also carried a lot of grain and grass. But most of them still need local supplies.

It's also a big project.

It's not even easier than a campaign.

Naturally, I had to say hello in advance.

Everything is scheduled for a certain day.

And He Xi also received an order in Liaodong.

He Xi will meet in Liaodong in September.

He Xi was surprised, but also took it for granted.

After the start of the Great Qing Dynasty, He Xi learned about the affairs of the south through various channels, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart and wanted to communicate with Zhu Yuanzhang. Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang estimates that there are many places he wants to ask He Xi.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang is on a northern tour, and he will definitely see him.

However, He Xi felt that it was very likely that he went to Beiping to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but he never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually want to come to Liaodong.

Huang Zicheng was also very excited and said; "Teacher, let's arrange the pick-up matters."

He Xi shook his head and said; "No, I don't. We'll talk about it later. The most important thing is not to take over, but that the situation in Liaodong must be stabilized, and what His Majesty wants to see is not how big the pomp is. Today's achievements in Liaodong. ”

Huang Zicheng knew that He Xi was Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite minister. I want to know Zhu Yuanzhang better than myself. There should be nothing wrong with listening to He Xi. Although there are some doubts in my heart. But he said, "Yes." ”

He Xi pondered for a while and took the plan of the Liaodong Textile Factory.

Thousands of skilled female workers have matured the design scheme of new textile machines in the College of Engineering and Science. Whether it is wood, iron, or even artificial Liaodong, there is no shortage. The only thing missing is the raw material. Of course. Completely feed this textile mill. It's almost impossible in a year or two.

But now the raw materials support production for a month or two, which should be possible.

Not to mention, new environment, new venues, new technologies, plus personnel psychological counseling and so on. Some time ago, it was normal for production efficiency not to go up.

But He Xi was still ready to use this Liaodong textile factory as his answer to Zhu Yuanzhang. The steel industry has a driving effect on people's livelihood. But not much. The impact on other industries is huge. There is enough iron. Liaodong Textile Factory is just one of them, you must know that Korea paper is also famous. Among China's top papers, it can be regarded as famous.

Especially in Buddhist scriptures, it is used a lot.

This time, He Xi wiped out all the craftsmen of Goryeo, and the craftsmanship of Goryeo paper is even more clear. Combined with Jiangnan papermaking technology, there is still so much wood in Liaodong. Naturally, there should also be paper mills and so on.

However, He Xi's field must really meet the elements of industrial production, so papermaking technology also needs to be studied. Transform what was originally a handicraft production into industrial production. Research a lot of new machines. It takes time. Now the only thing that Zhu Yuanzhang can see immediately is the textile factory.

He Xi is preparing to put his mind on the textile factory, and before Zhu Yuanzhang comes, he will figure out all the problems of the textile factory. Suddenly, he received a letter from the front line in Goryeo. Written by Blue Jade.

In the Epistles. Lan Yu greeted him for a while and brought the Goryeo war aside.

After all, Japan's national conditions are there, and if the shogunate wants to send troops, it will not send troops directly, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also wants to suppress the princes of Kyushu. So, one of several daimyo such as Dayi, Otomo, and Aso was selected to lead the Goryeo strategy.

So, Japan's reinforcements were slow.

Anyway, if the Japanese reinforcements don't come, Lan Yu won't do it. Lan Yu focused more on cleaning up the occupied areas, learning from He Xi to confiscate the land of the wealthy family, release slaves and maids, and grant land. However, Lan Yu's work is much rougher than He Xi's.

When He Xi was doing it in Pingcheng, he didn't kill less. After all, where the interests lie, it is simply not possible to see blood. And Lan Yu killed more.

It was so bloody that He Xi even felt that if he hadn't asked Lan Yu to move the people of Goryeo. Lan Yu will only kill more and more fiercely.

However, when He Xi saw the end, he suddenly stood up excitedly and said, "What? Fang Mingqian is back? ”

Who is Fang Mingqian? It was one of the three fleets that sent out the expedition in the first place. His course was to travel north along the continent and through the Bering Strait to the Americas. It is also one of the easiest routes to achieve. But from the sixteenth year of Hongwu to the present, there has been no news for several years. It's very worrying.

And now there's finally news.

How could He Xi not be excited, he even had the idea of going to Goryeo to see Fang Mingqian immediately. I want to know if corn, potatoes, these high-yielding crops, have been obtained. It's just that he really can't get out. Write a letter to Sapphire immediately.

Please ask Lan Yu to bring Fang Mingqian and his party. Immediately sent to Liaodong.

Even He Xi felt that Zhu Yuanzhang would also meet them.
