Chapter 200: The Wind Rises in the Southwest

The steaming capital that night finally ushered in the first rain of July.

Soybean-sized rain fell from the dark sky, sprinkled on this ancient city swallowed by the night, and the raindrops hit the roof of the Qianqing Palace.

Meow!

The little cat, which was catching mice, barked, and it was squatting on the eaves looking up at the rainy night.

This rain is very strange, the Qianqing Palace is obviously a thick roof, but Zhu Youzhu and Fan Jinling seem to be drenched by the rain at the moment.

The tip of the nose of the special fan Jinling is wet, the bangs are clinging to the white forehead, and the eyelashes of the charming eyes are also water-stained, even strange.

Fortunately, the candle flame in the room was not affected by the rain outside, and the pale yellow lights filled the whole room, revealing a touch of warmth in the crackling rain outside.

Zhu Youzhu gasped slightly, fortunately, his current body is young, and he has obtained the theoretical knowledge in his previous life, but now as long as he is not excessive, he can be invincible.

It's just that some things can't be forced after all, even if he tosses the passionate Fan Jinling and the shy Qingyue every day, their stomachs have never moved.

But don't be too anxious, what should come will come after all.

Fan Jinling's body was very soft and fragrant, and in the thunder outside, like a little vixen, it gently burrowed into the bed, and Zhu Youzhu couldn't help biting his lower lip.

The golden bell rings at night, after all, it is Zhu Youzhu who shows his male style, and it also exposes that Zhu Youzhu is actually a warlike emperor.

The next day, the morning sun rose high, and the brilliant sunlight shone down the light, and the whole world seemed to be completely renewed.

A lot of cotton is grown in Gyeonggi, and now it is the season when cotton is in full bloom, and cotton blooms in the fields like snow.

Zhu Youzhi has an early layout for spring ploughing, and now it is ushered in the harvest period.

Since the advent of the Royal Weaving Mill, the efficiency of cloth production has increased significantly.

In the past, the inefficient mode of requiring two people and taking half a month to produce a cotton cloth was eliminated, but now the flying shuttle loom has led the capital to make a qualitative leap in the efficiency of cloth production, and the royal weaving factory has a strong demand for cotton.

Due to the increase in demand for cotton, and now the price of cotton is also rising, Wu Xun, who did not follow Zhu Youzhi to grow cotton earlier, regrets it.

Now that the cotton harvest is about to be ushered in, this undoubtedly solves the urgent needs of the royal weaving mills, and also sends fuel to the textile industry, which is about to take off.

However, the cotton cloth price system in the capital has not yet suffered a major impact, after all, the first batch of cotton cloth from the royal weaving factory is not intended to be sold domestically, but is intended to trade with North Korea.

Although North Korea is also a country lacking gold and silver, North Korea has goods such as ginseng, furs, and Chinese medicinal herbs, and even cotton that the North Korean ruling class exploits the people, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

It was under Zhu Youji's manipulation that the tenants of Huangzhuang would pick cotton and send it to the royal weaving factory to weave cotton cloth, and then send it to the newly built Daming City in Shenzhi City, where they exchanged ginseng, Chinese medicinal herbs, furs and other goods with the North Korean side.

Although there are still many stubborn diseases within the Ming Dynasty, under the helm of Zhu Youji, the entire dynasty can now be said to be thriving.

Due to last night's heavy rain, the temperature has dropped significantly this morning.

Gonghou Garden, a garden located in the middle of the Forbidden City.

In an area of 12,000 square meters, there are many hundred-year-old locust trees here, and now they look lush and green, and they are even more verdant after being washed by rain.

Zhu Youzhu came in from the Kunning Gate, here is mainly a leisure pavilion, mostly strange stones, followed by the dynasty in the name of flowers, there are not many flowers and plants here.

This is actually related to the tradition of the Ming Emperor, after all, their ancestors were famous for their diligence, so the Zhu family did not have an emperor who loved flowers and plants.

In the center of the palace road, there is a magnificent Qin'an Palace, which also lays the main style of the palace garden.

Zhu Youzhu didn't have the slightest intention of playing, and walked into the hall with a solemn expression at this moment, and in the center of the hall was the Zhenwu Emperor who enshrined Taoism.

Because of the first day of this month, I begged for rain here, and it rained heavily last night as scheduled, so Zhu Youzhu came early in the morning to worship and thank Emperor Zhenwu.

After all, the end of science is metaphysics, and now, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he can't ask for any favor from heaven, he should make a gesture.

In fact, the people of China actually don't ask for much, they need to always have their emperor in their hearts, even if this emperor is just a gesture, then they are willing to support it.

It's a pity that this dynasty has too many insatiable officials, who have clearly lived a life of abundance and food, and still think about the glory and wealth of future generations.

Xu Pu's home in the capital has been raided, although the list of Xu Dang has not been found, but the filial piety silver received by Xu Pu has reached as much as 100,000 taels.

Compared with the big greed behind, 100,000 taels is actually not much.

It's just that Taizu clearly stipulates that 800 guan can be beheaded, and he hasn't been fooled into canceling this law, and he doesn't know how many times Xu Pu can be beheaded with these 100,000 taels.

If you don't reveal their masks, it seems that each of them is a virtuous minister of Hongzhi Zhongxing, but after all, he still doesn't want Huaxia to live in false prosperity, and is more willing to lead Huaxia to take a truly strong road.

"Your Majesty, the weather is good today, do you want to go to the Imperial Pavilion above to browse the scenery of the Forbidden City!" When Liu Jin returned, he suddenly proposed.

Zhu Youzhu glanced up at the Yujing Pavilion above, but he knew that the palace group under the blue sky and white clouds was indeed pleasing to the eye at this time, but he still shook his head lightly and said: "Today is not the New Moon and the New Moon Looking at the Sun, let's go to the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately!" ”

Not to mention that there are still all kinds of tumors in this dynasty that have not been eradicated, and now there are a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, but it is not yet time to relax.

Especially after these times, he profoundly knows that the more diligent he is in handling government affairs, the sooner the problem is strangled in the cradle, the less government affairs will become.

That's right, he doesn't want to waste the previous efforts, and now as long as he works diligently for half a day, he can have half a day left to fish, why not?

"Yes!" Liu Jin was actually afraid that Zhu Youzhu would work hard day and night and his body would not be able to bear it, and seeing Zhu Youzhu diligent in government affairs, he also gave up his hand in a proper manner.

After the rain, the sky seems to have been washed, and everything looks so beautiful.

As usual, Zhu Youzhu took the dragon chariot out of the Xihua Gate, and then entered from the Xiyuan Gate on the opposite side, and arrived at the Xiyuan Yangxin Palace, which handled government affairs.

Zhu Ji, who commanded the Jinyi Guard, came here to guard, while Han Niu and Feng Ma, the eunuchs in charge of the army, came to serve as Zhu Youji's bodyguards.

Although the early dynasties were reduced, the efficiency of the yamen was significantly improved.

Before Zhu Youzhi came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Wan An and Liu Ji would arrive one step earlier.

Although Wan An is older, he is better than Liu Ji in terms of attendance, and he comes here rain or shine every day.

Although he has become old, he has become more and more handy in handling government affairs, and many votes and opinions can be adopted by Zhu Youji.

The clerical office received the notes from the two capitals and thirteen provinces delivered by the Department of Communications and Administration early in the morning, and classified these notes, and the important notes were sent to Zhu Youji, while some less important notes were sent directly to the cabinet.

Zhu Youzhu usually gives priority to urgent matters, but when he learned that Datong did not send a report to him, he knew that he was in a hurry, but he still hoped that Datong could send the results as soon as possible.

It's just that there is no news of peace talks on the Datong side, but the situation on the Guangdong side is continuous, and the news that the pearl diving ship has been killed and burned by pirates has come again.

When the Shendian Guard, who was patrolling nearby, rushed to the ground, he only saw a general ship that had been burned down, and there was still no survivor on the main ship.

Judging from all kinds of traces, and every time he fled in the direction of Annan, it all proves that this incident is a kind of revenge of Annan in the face of Daming.

If it was only once or twice, it might be a small revenge on the Annan side that was not angry, but now it has been repeatedly burned the boat, then they may think that Da Ming is a soft persimmon to bully.

Zhu Youzhu was actually disappointed in his heart, although the guess of the imperial history of Guangdong was done by the Li Dynasty, but this is a speculation without factual basis after all.

Now the evidence is not sufficient, if the current use of troops, this will damage the image that the Ming has always created, and it will also make many countries take precautions against the Ming.

So he has to endure it a little longer, but he is waiting for a reason that is enough to launch a campaign to destroy the country against the Li Dynasty.

Bastards, you're going to fight!

Zhu Youzhu looked at the performance of the Guangdong side chasing after the wind and shadows, and seemed to hate iron and steel.

Originally, he wanted to directly remove the commander of the Divine Guard, but he still held back.

After all, he is thousands of miles away from Guangdong, and he doesn't want to blame the commander of Shendianwei for his current mistakes, maybe he needs to give him a little more patience and trust.

In fact, it is also a kind of helplessness of the emperor, and at some point, he is really a "blind man".

July is a good season, the dark clouds over Datong have dissipated, and the whole sky and the earth seem to be clear, and the white clouds in the blue sky are like cotton candy.

With a mighty procession returning to the city, a Tang soldier rode away from the east gate of Datong Mansion City, carrying a Tang newspaper stuffed in a cylinder and galloping along the post road in the direction of the capital.

Tuk Tuk ......

The horse's hooves stepped on the post road and galloped forward, although there was no magic of the horse stepping on the swallow, but it was also like a sharp arrow breaking through the air.

Due to the introduction of the attendance mode of the delivery staff in later generations, the normal transmission time of each Tang soldier was repeatedly calculated, and the reward and punishment system was set up at the same time, resulting in the current transmission speed of the Tang newspaper is very amazing.

Each link is closely coordinated, so that the Tang newspaper system has become a powerful weapon for the Ming Dynasty to command the Quartet.

In just half a day, a Tang soldier came to the Fucheng Gate with a Tang newspaper on his back, and entered Beijing just before the city gate was closed.

Fortunately, the closing time of the city gate and the palace gate was not consistent, and the "Tang Station" in the capital rushed to send the latest military information to the Forbidden City before the palace gate closed.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that the military situation is the result of the third round of peace talks.

In the end, for the benefit of the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty, and for her dream of unifying Mongolia, Manduhai finally agreed to the conditions listed by the Ming court.

Their Northern Yuan no longer regarded himself as "Great Yuan" to the Ming Dynasty, and Dayan Khan was not the Emperor of the Great Yuan, but became the king of Beishun canonized by the Ming court, and Manduhai became the princess of Beishun.

As for Yikexi, it should be more accurately called the county lord of Yixi, who has become the object of sacrifice for the peace of the two countries this time, and will be accepted by Zhu Youzhu as a concubine.

Manduhai also got the most important opportunity for her to trade in the mutual market, although he could not directly trade weapons from Daming, but he also won the iron pot to become a trading product in the mutual market.

In this peace talks, there are no real losers.

Although Manduhai sacrificed his daughter and made Dayan Khan give up his claim to be Emperor of the Great Yuan, he successfully exchanged tributes with the Ming Dynasty. In particular, she can use the horses of the tribes under her command to obtain supplies from the Ming Dynasty, so as to solve the livelihood problems of the tribes.

In addition, with the supply of materials from the Ming Dynasty, she would have the confidence to drive Warat to the coldest place in the west, and she could also start to slowly solve the Grakli tribe that had been hostile to them.

As for the Ming Dynasty, after they have the card of Yixi, they can make the Mandu Haitou Mouse Taboo, which really rules the Northern Yuan.

With this peace talks, the Ming Dynasty could ensure that the people of the Datong border would not be disturbed by the Mongol cavalry, and the Datong army could recuperate, and at the same time promote the economic development of the northwest frontier.

When this pond report was sent to the palace, Zhu Youzhu was eating the crucian carp and tofu soup he caught.

He originally wanted to fight the Mongols to the end, after all, they could solve the problem at the root by killing them all, but their side was not fully prepared after all, and the current external situation was too turbulent.

The Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast needed to carry out the last wishes of the first emperor by themselves, and the Li Dynasty in the southwest needed to be finalized even more ruthlessly, so they sighed secretly at the result of this peace talk.

Now that Datong is stable, he can concentrate on dealing with the problems of the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Li Dynasty.

Liu Xuan did a great job in Liaodong, perhaps his military talent was not prominent, but the governor who walked out of the stable was indeed very pragmatic.

He seems to have learned from Wang Yue's approach, and after he arrived in Liaodong as governor, he directly attacked the salt merchants and investigated and punished several illegal salt merchants who took the lead.

After the problem of Liaoyan was cured, he immediately restarted the opening of the law in the early Ming Dynasty, and used Liaoyan to consolidate the granary of Liaodong, which had become empty.

After all, the road is to go step by step, once the granary of Liaodong is sufficient, then whether it is the Jianzhou Jurchen, or the stronger Haixi Jurchen, or the Jianzhou Jurchen, they are all a group of local chickens and dogs.

As for the southwestern side, Zhu Youzhu still chose to wait, hoping that the Guangdong side could catch the so-called pirates, so that there would be a reason to send troops to Annan.

Just when things were on the right track, the latest news came from Huguang, which made Zhu Youzhi also shocked and said: "Wang Zhi rebelled? ”
