"Emperor, since you forcibly recruited the daughters of hundreds of officials into the palace, you will face such a result."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled bitterly: "When you are in power, the harem battle can still be suppressed, once the emperor is a hundred years old, the harem concubines will become a big climate." ”

"Lu Dou's trouble is about to happen again."

"So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, go to the mother and keep the son?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to eradicate his relatives, but because he was old and weak, he could only go to his mother and keep his son, and Huo Guang was cheaper.

His original intention was to use the daughters of hundreds of officials to hold Wenchen hostage and make them fearful. disrupted the harem again, so that the Empress Dowager Sun completely lost power, and he completely held the imperial power in his hands.

Now it seems that it was really not considered at the time.

It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God.

"The emperor, the queen mother can't read, although the Sun family is favored, but he doesn't understand the government."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled bitterly: "Since Emperor Taizong, the Ming Dynasty has selected show girls from the people, just to guard against the chaos of the relatives and repeat the troubles of Dou (Empress Dowager Dou) and Wu (Wu Zetian)." ”

Even if it was the Empress Dowager Zhang, who could control the world, she obediently returned the power to Zhu Qizhen in the end, instead of abolishing Zhu Qizhen, and chose King Xiang to inherit the heir.

This is an institutional advantage.

"yes."

"Daming has no relatives because the emperor chooses concubines from the people and cuts off the growth of relatives."

"But I support my relatives with one hand and use my relatives to run the soldiers, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future."

People always think about the best of both worlds.

At that time, Zhu Qiyu was able to win over a person, who would care about the flood in the future.

Now that the power is in his hands, it is time to eliminate the calamity.

"Don't worry about the emperor, you are in the prime of life, and when the emperor's heir grows up healthily, he will naturally inherit the unification, and there will be no waves."

Empress Dowager Wu appeased the emperor: "As for the chaos in the harem, it also starts with the suspicion of the lord and the country, and the suspicion of the lord and the country can be punished." ”

"The mourning family is still alive, so the harem is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs!"

Zhu Qiyu rolled his eyes, at your level, it is estimated that even Tang Guifei can't play.

"That's it, I'm also worried."

"That Gu'an's matter ......" Empress Dowager Wu looked at him with a blank eye.

"Queen Mother, let her exercise and exercise, if she can become a talent, I will choose a place in the future and let her ascend the throne and be called the empress."

"Emperor, do you want to mess up the government first?"

Empress Dowager Wu was anxious: "How can a woman ascend the throne?" Isn't that Wu Zetian? ”

"The Queen Mother is a little restless, I also want to see her ability."

Zhu Qiyu was actually thinking, there are so many islands in the world, it is not impossible to make his princess the empress.

It's just that the emperor is far away, and he is a father, whether he can take care of it or not, it's hard to say.

Another point, if there is an empress in the world, will the women in the harem learn from Wu Zetian?

When you are an emperor, you always want to be ahead of others.

"Since ancient times, there has been no empress, and there must be no chicken Sichen!"

"A woman is a woman, how can you step on top of a man?"

"Wouldn't that mess up Tsunade?"

Empress Dowager Wu is also a woman, but it is difficult to be a woman in the world.

"I know, the Queen Mother is a little restless, Gu'an goes out to practice, it's also for her good."

Empress Dowager Wu said: "It's too dangerous to go outside, she has a daughter's family, how can she marry in the future?" It's better to go to the Huanyi Bureau, go to the Needlework Bureau, and experience a year, and it will become. ”

She backed down.

"I'll think about it again." Zhu Qiyu didn't say dead.

In the afternoon, several concubines came over to help Gu'an intercede.

Zhu Qiyu was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and picked up the music sent a year ago and looked at it again.

He couldn't find much interest other than disposing of the recital.

And in the evening he will give a feast to the kings.

And Dong Ci hurriedly entered the palace, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he was given a seafood sauerkraut pot, and he was honored.

When he entered the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, he saw that the emperor was still looking at government affairs, and praised: "Your Majesty is really the Holy Monarch of Yao Shun, and he is still worried about the world on the first day of the Lunar New Year." ”

"It's so obedient for you to say, what's the matter here?" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

"Emperor, the slave maid is here to present you with a treasure!"

Dong Ci asked people to take out a down jacket and use a regular clothes to make a lining.

This regular garment is woven from gold wire, and the pattern is woven from peacock feathers, which is a New Year's gift from the Needlework Bureau to the emperor.

was borrowed by Dong Ci's invitation, and invited the best weaver in Beijing to come, lined with a bright yellow down.

"Emperor, the duck is too dirty, and the slave maid uses goose down, rinsed more than a hundred times, and baked at high temperature, completely removing the smell in the feathers."

"Then I used it to make this down lining, and then I asked the best weaver in Beijing to hide it in your regular clothes."

Dong Ci said while showing: "This inner lining is hidden inside, and there is nothing unusual on the outside, and there is not a single stitch exposed on the outside." ”

"You turn it over, you look inside out, and you can't see a single stitch."

"The inner lining is made of silver wire, which is hidden on the inside of the clothes, which is beautiful and auspicious."

"Please change your clothes!"

Zhu Qiyu listened to the excitement, and asked Feng Xiao and others to wait to take off their regular clothes, and then Dong Ci waited to put on new clothes.

On the first day of the new year, the palace was served by palace ladies, and the eunuchs rested.

He sniffed it first, making sure there was no goose down.

"Can you drill hair?"

This is a perennial problem, and it cannot be completely cured in modern times.

"Emperor, in order to prevent it from drilling hair, the weaver used silver wire, and every feather was tightly embedded, without exception."

Dong Ci carefully took out the emperor's hair and laid it flat on his shoulder.

"It's so warm."

This is a long story.

It was made by order at the end of the sixth year of Jingtai, completely made of gold wire, which took nearly two years and cost 100,000 taels.

"But it's not cheap, is it?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"This is a little bit of the slave's heart dedicated to the emperor, and it is customary to mention money." Dong Ci knows how to be a man.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's not easy for you to make a few bucks, I have this intention, and I will go back and report to Feng Xiao." ”

"If it is extended to the people, how much will it cost?"

To open up the north, we need food, clothing, and fuel.

There is a temporary solution to the food problem, and it can also be solved by burning coal for heating.

The problem of clothes is a big problem.

"Back to the emperor, I'm afraid it's very difficult."

Dong Ci smiled bitterly: "The most difficult thing to solve is the problem of drilling. ”

"The textile factory has used all the methods, and many weavers have been consulted, and they all say that the cloth produced in the country and dynasty cannot solve the problem of drilling hair."

"Slaves and maids have been tried, such as using cotton cloth, and in about a month, the goose feathers are gone."

"There is no solution at all."

That's right.

The biggest problem with down jackets is drilling.

The reason is the quality of the cloth, if the quality of the cloth can be improved...... Hey, maybe we can use this to reverse the cloth revolution?

Revolution with cloth, regression to the industrial revolution?

Zhu Qiyu had a flash of inspiration, so he had to improve the status of down jackets and hype down jackets as luxury goods.

"If I give it to civil and military officials according to my body, how much will it cost?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"Back to the emperor, the cost is about five hundred taels of silver, and if you don't use silver wire, it will also cost about three hundred and fifty taels."

Dong Ci added: "What the slave said counts the weaver's wages, textile costs, and so on. ”

"It should be counted."

The price is very high.

Because of the need for a weaver, one stitch at a time, to lock the goose down on the cloth, is extremely laborious.

"Is there a way to lower it?"

After wearing it for a while, Zhu Qiyu was sweating: "I've changed it, it's too hot." ”

"Emperor, is it so hot?" Feng Xiao was surprised, this regular dress is autumn and winter clothing, and a layer of goose down is added.

"You touch it."

When Feng Xiao unbuttoned it, he reached out and touched it, startled: "Emperor, are you hot?" ”

Dong Ci was also confused.

The emperor's clothes, who dares to try?

So he didn't know how hot it could be.

"Can this goose survive the winter with its wings, can it not be hot?"

Zhu Qiyu changed into clothes: "This dress, when I go to Liaoning, I don't bring anything that is frozen, keep it, and wear it when I go to the court." ”

Dong Ci knew it was messed up.

He didn't know that this goose down was so hot, so he used eight taels of down.

Zhu Qiyu can kill him, three taels of down is enough to make a down jacket to the feet, and you have to wear it in winter, you use eight taels of down, do you want to suffocate me?

"Emperor, take it back and change it." Dong Ci knelt on the ground.

"Just use less goose down, and make one set for the old lady and Xing Guogong for the rest, and use the best silver thread to make it."

Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Tell me, how to reduce the price?" ”

"Emperor, this process of removing odors is not cumbersome, and the cost is not high."

"The high place is where the weaver needs to embroider stitch by stitch."

"Ordinary weavers can't do it, the stitches are all exposed, and the garment is ruined."

Zhu Qiyu interrupted Dong Ci's words: "Don't worry about the stitches, who can see the things worn inside?" ”

Dong Ci thought for a moment: "Emperor, if you use ordinary weavers, the cost will be low, and if you don't use silver wire, the cost will be around two hundred taels." ”

"It's still expensive, and then think of a way to control it at about one hundred taels."

Dong Ci opened his mouth, but could only kowtow: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

"You deserve a heavy reward for the manufacture of this down jacket!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Go, go get a bronze talisman and give it to Dong Ci!" ”

Dong Ci was taken aback, this little thing is also worth a bronze talisman?

It shows that the down jacket is extremely important in the emperor's heart.

In an instant, it was clear that the emperor wanted to open up the north and urgently needed a down jacket.

"You go to the patent department first, register the down jacket for a patent, and the patent will not be disclosed for the time being."

"Open a down jacket factory first, and don't sell down jackets to the outside world."

"You immediately hurry up and make a few pieces, and if you want the best, I will reward the courtiers."

Dong Ci was surprised: "Emperor, are you planning to set the down jacket for official use?" Not allowed for civilian use? ”

"No, you have to build momentum first."

"You don't understand, while it's still winter, hurry up and make a few hundred pieces."

"The money is on my account."

"Do more, according to the weather, make thin and thick styles of different seasons."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let's talk about the problem of down jackets. ”

"The top priority is to improve the level of weaving, the current cloth is too easy to break, and the textile level should be improved."

"After the first month, you go to Songjiang Mansion and recruit a group of high-end weavers to enter Beijing."

"The family moved into Beijing, divided the house and land, and returned the errand."

"In the ninth year of Jingtai, I improved the textile level of the cloth."

"I hope that by the time Jingtai is ten years old, Daming will already be able to produce down jackets that don't drill hair!"

It's a very difficult requirement.

The Emperor forced the Cloth Revolution.

"By the way, can you put a layer of duck down and goose down in the middle of the cotton?" Zhu Qiyu had a flash of inspiration.

Dong Ci was stunned: "Emperor, it's already very warm in cotton clothes." ”

"It's warm in Beijing, is it still warm in the fishing sea?" Zhu Qiyu glared at him.

"The slave and maid will test it when they go back."

Dong Ci gritted his teeth and said: "The slave maid will send someone out of Beijing to recruit weavers from Songjiang Mansion into Beijing, and then go to Sichuan to recruit silk weavers into Beijing......"

"What are you doing in Sichuan?"

"Just use cotton, what kind of silk to use, is it to keep warm, or is it to be cool?"

"Distinguish priorities, don't always think about catering to the market, you have to think about letting the market adapt to your products."

Zhu Qiyu reprimanded him.

Feng Xiao listened attentively and let the market adapt to the product?

Doesn't that mean that the courtiers should be adapted to the emperor?

Dong Ci said: "The emperor taught me a lesson. ”

"The weavers who weave down jackets are all rewarded, don't be stingy with the reward, and when the production is completed, they will be allowed to set up their own factories."

Send Dong Ci away.

Zhu Qiyu is also going to prepare for dinner.

When the hour came, the kings entered the palace to worship.

On the first day of the ninth year of Jingtai, we worshiped and ate, and this meal was quite good for each other.

But all the kings will secretly look at the emperor's face, what kind of father he really has, what kind of daughter he has.

The daughter made her father's opposite, which is interesting and interesting.

Finish a meal.

Zhu Qiyu lay down early to rest.

Following.

In the ninth year of Jingtai, the first early dynasty, Zhu Qiyu got up early to prepare.

Sit on the temple of Mukden.

"Zhuqing, how did you eat the hot pot?"

The courtiers were surprised, the news in the palace had already spread, and the city was full of wind and rain outside the city.

I thought the emperor was secretive.

Unexpectedly, the emperor asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, that chili pepper is really refreshing and appetizing."

"Weichen can't eat a few bowls of rice, but he has eaten all the banquet noodles given by the emperor!"

Yu Qian took the lead and said: "It's just Your Majesty, how happy you are to eat at the table, and you can run the thatched house a few times at night." ”

Flutter!

The courtiers couldn't help laughing, covering their faces with their hands, and it was difficult to speak.

"How so? Could it be that the ingredients are not clean? Zhu Qiyu was slightly stunned, he didn't.

"Your Majesty, it's a matter of cold drinks, the sour plum soup is cold, and if it is cold and hot, it will inevitably turn over the river and the sea in the stomach."

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "But the hot pot is delicious, and the sour plum soup is refreshing, which is very compatible." ”

It's just farting while eating, which hurts a lot.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed, it turned out to be a spray package.

"Your Majesty, can you leave seeds in the Chili Palace?" Xue Xilian asked.

He was not qualified to be given a spicy pot, because he asked many courtiers, and they all said that it tasted good, but he couldn't say what it tasted like.

Because of the small number of chili peppers, combined with peppercorns, pepper, etc., the taste of chili peppers is neutralized.

Coupled with the complicated dipping sauce, it is natural that you can't taste spicy.

"The seeds are left, and they will be planted after the New Year."

"In a few years, Zhuqing will be able to be free."

"In ten years, people will be able to eat chili peppers."

"This chili pepper has a lot of benefits, and you will naturally experience it in the future."

Zhu Qiyu's words changed: "But this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Shu is not happy." ”

"Gu'an is not filial, and he is disobedient to me."

"But after all, she is only nine years old, and she can't raise her godfather, because I, who is the father, didn't teach her well."

The courtiers didn't know whether to kneel down to help Princess Gu'an intercede, or kneel down to plead guilty.

"It's my fault."

"So, I plan to send her outside the palace for a year of training."

"Let her know the people's suffering, and save so ignorance."

As soon as he heard this, Wang Hong got out of class and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, princess Jinzhi Yuye, how can you go to the people to suffer?" ”

"Since ancient times, there has been no public outpouring of the people?"

"Besides, the princess is nine years old this year, and she has a marriage contract."

"What if, what if......"

In case the spring heart sprouts, look at a little white face.

What should the Fang family do?

What about the face of the heavenly family?

Moreover, if the princess goes out of the palace and suffers among the people, she will be criticized, and her life will be ruined.

"Then go to the Huanyi Bureau, do a year of hard work, and have a long memory."

It seems that Princess Gu'an really made the emperor angry.

"Don't talk about her."

Zhu Qiyu said: "New year, new atmosphere, Jingtai nine years, a new year, see what you want to do, talk about it." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the first is to repair Beijing, and the three outer cities in Beijing are under construction, and they should be completed before the winter of the ninth year of Jingtai."

"The second is to build a city in Rehe, and it is necessary to build the main city of Rehe in the ninth year of Jingtai to form a defensive line and prevent Mobei from counterattacking."

"Third, we must prepare a large number of building materials for the northwest, rebuild the big city of Xining, complete the construction of the city on the Hetao, complete the migration of the population, complete the construction of Jingtaijing in the northwest, and try to grow as many trees as possible."

"Fourth, the resettlement of Guangxi will be completed this year, and the Han people will be used to fill Guangxi, and the natives of Guangxi will migrate out, properly resettle, and let the two Guangxi enter the stage of recuperation."

"Fifth, the troops went out of Jilin and swept away the Jurchens and Wuliangha......"

Hu Hu listed more than a dozen major events, such as comprehensive wars, official governance, imperial examinations, immigration, and Jingcha.

"What the old lady said is very comprehensive, and Weichen has a few points to add."

Geng Jiuchou got the jade carving, and the whole person was suddenly refreshed.

He dared to answer Hu Hu's words: "First, the cultivation of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and peppers, and the adaptation of planting problems to soil conditions are the top priorities of Jingtai in the ninth year. ”

"Second, the cliché is a food problem, spring planting is the most important issue, His Majesty proposed to plant trees last year, this year the center had better allocate a sum of money, plant trees in the world in an all-round way, so that the land in the world can be restored to green."

"Third, it is the root cause of the Yellow River and the education problem, we should first set it down, set the framework, and then enter the inspection stage after the year, and strive to complete the preliminary work in Jingtai for nine years."

"Fourth, the problem of coal, this year Weichen used black coal in his home, the effect is very good, when vigorously promoting, and the price of coal down, so that ordinary people can afford it."

"Fifth, it is the issue of resettlement after ploughing the world......

Geng Jiuchou added more than a dozen points.

Not to be outdone, Bai Gui checked and filled in the gaps: "Your Majesty, after the beginning of spring, the first thing is to alleviate the problem of bloated population in Beijing, and it is necessary to immigrate quickly. ”

Nowadays, the coal burning in Beijing is too heavy, and the coal mining in Shanxi is freezing cold, and the miners have died, and the center can only make the mine owners compensate.

But death cases are not uncommon.

The main reason is that the demand for coal is too large, and the mine owner has just photographed the coal mine, and without preliminary preparation, he has invested a lot of manpower, resulting in a surge in the number of deaths.

The second is that the pressure on grain in Beijing is too great, and it must be shared.

Wang Hong, Wang Fu, Yue Zheng, Yao Kui, etc. all said a few.

Zhu Qiyu bowed: "What Zhu Qing said is right, on the last day of the ninth year of Jingtai, these problems were solved." ”

"Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are wide, and there are too many trees."

"It must be cut down in large quantities, and it is imperative to transport it to the northwest, Rehe, and Liaoning to be used as building materials."

"This year, the Royal Commercial Bank will raise the price of wood, go to the southwest to buy wood, strive to cut down the southwest to me, and send the wood to the place where it should be used."

Logging and opening up mountains is the best way to truly rule the southwest.

"This year, the two Guangxi provinces must be completely pacified, from great chaos to great order."

"Rehe, Gansu, Ningxia, the big city must be completed."

"The small city is built slowly, and it can be built within three years, and every time a city is built, it will be built with galloping roads, roads and roads."

"There is also the problem of river transportation, this year we must start to connect the rivers, so that the flow of the rivers is more reasonable, one province by one province, pick the important ones first, and strive to complete it within 30 years!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "The most important thing is the food problem!" ”

"There are too few grain seeds!"

"How many years will it take to promote it to the whole country?"

"I will send an order to the city to buy from the foreign domain, but if I can't buy it, I will attack them!"

"Lu Gao gave me a secret recital, saying that foreign businessmen are trading with the Ming Dynasty in Siam."

"After the first lunar month, I sent an envoy to Siam."

"I want the King of Siam to help me buy seeds, I can buy seeds for as much as I want, I have come out!"

Zhu Qiyu's heart is to let the people have enough to eat.

But Yu Qian stood up: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

"Why?"

"Is there a reason to give a sharp blade to others?"

Yu Qian bowed and said: "The three treasures of corn are very important to the Ming Dynasty, and they must not be leaked to the enemy. ”

"But Weichen thinks about it, and the king of Siam doesn't know it."

"If Your Majesty mobilizes the people, he will order the King of Siam by decree of the state."

"Then the King of Siam will also know the magic of the Three Treasures, and when the time comes, not only will he not sell them to the Ming Dynasty, but will strengthen his Siamese strength."

The courtiers all nodded yes.

"So how do I get more seeds?"

Zhu Qiyu can't open the sea now.

When the time is ripe, he must go to Nanzhili to personally sit in the town and kill people in order to open the sea strongly.

He couldn't wait that long.

"Your Majesty, Siam and the dynasty do not share a border."

"But they are next to each other with the country of Annam."

"And both countries are vassals of our Ming Dynasty."

"Why don't you instigate Annam and attack Laos and Siam."

"What if the dynasty sends envoys to trade with foreign merchants on the pretext of reconciling the civil war, and then transports the seeds back to China by land?"

Yu Qian's method is enough to damage it.

Let Southeast Asia fight a civil war, consume each other's national strength, and the Ming Dynasty will go to pick peaches again.

But Yu Qian didn't know that Annan and Siam also did not border.

"Xing Guogong, the king of Annan is so happy, and he has no intention of national politics, how can he send troops to fight?" Geng Jiuchou wondered.

Yu Qian stroked his beard and smiled: "Then you need an eloquent talent, emulate Keiko, and combine vertical and horizontal, for my Ming Dynasty!" ”

Huizi is Hui Shi, a well-known columnist, and the most important organizer and supporter of the Six Kingdoms to resist Qin.

"Is there still such a talent in the dynasty? Why don't I know? Zhu Qiyu became interested.

Obviously, Yu Qian discovered the talent and wanted to recommend it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also discovered it by accident." Yu Qian sold a pass.

"Speak quickly!"

Zhu Qiyu thought that after Chen Cheng, there would be no more Zonghengshi.

"In the third year of Jingtai, the Champa State sent the king of Champa to die, and His Majesty sent Pan Benyu and Bian Yong to Annan to make his brother Maha Guiyou king." Yu Qian talked about this old incident.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly said: "Xing Guogong wants to recommend Pan Benyu and Bian Yong? ”

"Your Majesty, Pan Benyu is honest and duty-bound, and he has written every time for the criminal department, and he has something to say."

"And Bian Yong is a member of the Guizhou Division of the Household Department, and he is good at teaching, and he takes his sons and nephews with him to train them, and the people in the household department sigh when they see it, saying that Bian Yong's sons and nephews will have a great future."

"Bian Yongqi is extremely familiar with Annan and Zhancheng affairs."

"Last year, when we were in the lunar month, Weichen deliberately embarrassed him, and at that time, Weichen took the file to test him, but he answered the questions fluently, without any mistakes or omissions."

It is not easy to enter the vision of humility.

"Come in, I'll take a look."

Soon, Pan Benyu and Bian Yong entered the temple and kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu took the school examination and found that these two people are indeed very talented.

Pan Benyu is a second-year jinshi of Jingtai, and Bian Yong is an orthodox ten-year jinshi, especially Bian Yong's sons and nephews, who are all talents of Jinshi.

"Your Majesty, Annam and Siam do not border!"

Bian Yong said seriously: "But Annan and Laos have a feud and continue to attack each other, as long as the country and the dynasty lure them with profit, Annan and Laos will inevitably turn their faces and become enemies of each other." ”

Zhu Qiyu is also confused about the situation in Southeast Asia.

"Bien Yong, what is the situation in Laos now?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty!"

"The Lao Xuanwei Division was established by Emperor Taizong."

"Laos did not pass the national dynasty, and the Yongle dynasty began, paying tribute to the Central Plains."

"But his people are rough, and his face is embroidered with patterns, like a wild man."

"Because of the transliteration error, the dynasty called it Laos, and the actual ruler of Laos established the Lancang Dynasty, with the capital of Luang Prabang."

"But as far as Weichen knows, his country is like Soochow in the Three Kingdoms."

Bian Yong is worthy of being a talent recommended by Yu Qian, and he tells the story of the situation in Southeast Asia.

"How is it Soochow?" Geng Jiuchou asked.

"My lord, because Laos is full of barbarians, and only a handful of people hold power."

"Just like Dongwu, established in Shanyue, if there is no Lu Kang and Zhuge Ke to pacify Shanyue, Shanyue is afraid that it still exists today."

"Laos is the same, it is an internal and external trouble."

"Outside, there are Annam, Siam, Awa (Burma. The three powerful countries of Laos are in turmoil, and Laos can only survive by begging for mercy everywhere. ”

Bian Yong spoke in detail.

At the beginning, Laos asked for tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but it did not want to take advantage of the power of the Ming Dynasty to seek peace.

As a result, Emperor Xuanzong did not give up, gave up Jiaozhi, and also gave up Southeast Asia.

Zhu Qiyu also has a clear understanding of Southeast Asia for the first time.

The courtiers also knew for the first time.

"Bian Yong, how do you know about the situation of Sanxuan and Liuxuan?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, when Weichen sent an envoy to occupy the city, he secretly collected information, studied his Chinese language, and read his books, so that he could gain something."

Bian Yong replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhu Qiyu bowed his head: "Spread the decree, transfer the border to enter the Honglu Temple forever, serve as the secretary of the Honglu Temple, and Pan Benyu is the left Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple." ”

"Qi Zheng, the former temple secretary of Honglu Temple, was transferred to the Military Discipline Department and served as the right secretary."

Bian never expected that he had been in the household department for more than ten years and had not been promoted.

But because of the right performance, he was promoted!

He was very interested in Southeast Asia, hoping that Daming could return to Southeast Asia, but after waiting for year after year, his heart was already cold.

But he didn't want to, and the emperor suddenly ordered him to play it right.

asked about Southeast Asia, and then promoted him to an official.

"Bian Yong."

"I won't hide it from you, I want to send you to Annan."

"Following the example of Keiko and instigating Annam to fight with Laos, it is best to let the flames of war spread all over the three proclamations and six consolations, especially Siam."

Zhu Qiyu said in a deep voice: "This matter is related to the fortune of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Bian Yong was stunned, what does disrupting Southeast Asia have to do with the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty?

"Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, you should know, right?" Yu Qian asked him.

"The lower officials know."

"This thing is related to whether the Ming Dynasty can rule Mobei, but there are not enough seeds in the court, and there is no time to rule Mobei."

Yu Qian said: "And Siam has been trading with Xiyi all year round, and these seeds are brought by Xiyi." ”

"Your Majesty means that you are disturbing Annam, Champang, Laos, and Siam."

"In times of chaos, trade in Siam and Xiyi, and then transport the seeds back to China."

Bian Yong understood.

Disrupting Southeast Asia is the first task.

Bringing back the seeds is the second task.

"Bian Yong, I ordered you to go, do you dare to go?" Zhu Qiyu stood up, his hands on the table, and looked down at Bian Yong.

Bian Yong kowtowed heavily: "What Weichen has learned, all of them are for this moment, die for Daming, and Weichen will die as he deserves!" Wechen is willing! ”

"Good!"

Zhu Qiyu approvingly: "I sent you, naturally I will send heavy troops to follow!" Don't worry about safety! ”

"I will send you another good general, if necessary, you can wave your army to attack the city, and then send someone to send a letter back to the Ming Dynasty, I will send troops to save you!"

Bian Yong and Pan Benyu kowtowed.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, can one day, take back Jiaozhi?"

That's a big rebellion.

Bian Yong's heart is in Southeast Asia, otherwise he would not know Southeast Asia well after so many years.

Zhu Qiyu chuckled: "Bian Yong, your heart is too small." ”

"I not only want to recover Jiaozhi, but also to control the three propaganda and six comforts! Make it the mainland of the Central Plains! ”

"You are going, one is the southeastern countries of cholera;"

"The second is to bring back the seeds, the more the better, I want any seeds, I am willing to spend as much as I want, you can decide at will;"

"Third, you take people to familiarize yourself with the climate and topography of the southeastern countries."

"Prepare for my future expedition to the southeastern countries."

Bian Yong wondered that no one in the courtiers objected.

Before, there was no oil and water in Southeast Asia.

With the three treasures of corn, it is different, if you have land, you can grow food, why not expand the land?

The emperor is ambitious, and who among the courtiers does not want to be famous in history?

"Wechen is willing to smear his liver and brain!" Bian Yong kowtowed heavily.

"Good!"

"I ordered you to be the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, lead 5,000 troops, and send an envoy to Annan!"

Before Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Yu Qian immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are not expensive, and Annan also understands the truth of false ways to destroy the enemy, I am afraid that it will be very guarded, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Zhu Qiyu felt that the five thousand people sent were less.

In fact, sending 5,000 people over, supply is a big problem, is it difficult to go to Annam to build a city to do supplies?

"Send a good general, a thousand people are enough." Yu Qian pondered.

"Too little!"

Zhu Qiyu made the final decision: "Three thousand people, there can be no less, I will give an order to Annan and let him obediently provide supplies." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Yu Qian persuaded bitterly: "Three thousand people is too many, fifteen hundred, and then add some factory guards, enough to make up two thousand people, which is enough." ”

Zhu Qiyu still felt that there were few people, and looked at Bian Yong: "Do you think two thousand people are enough?" ”

"Your Majesty, it depends on what you want to do?"

Bian Yong said lightly: "If you only want to transport seeds back to China, two thousand people are enough; ”

"If you want to use Weichen as the front station to attack Annan, the more people you have, the better."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's too early, after the great rule of Guangxi, it is the time to make a move against Annan, and it is necessary to make Guangxi and Yunnan bigger." ”

"That's enough for 2,000!" Bian Yong kowtows.

The courtiers were satisfied with the emperor's attitude, and if they were only for a momentary success, they coveted the land of Annam, and they were afraid that they would repeat the mistakes of the past.

Only when the emperor can endure can he do great things.

Yu Qian spread his hands: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive." ”

"The climate in Annan and other countries is hot, so soldiers should be selected from Yunnan, Liangguang, and Fujian."

"Choosing another general, Weichen thinks Ou Xin is suitable."

Yu Qian will be picky.

"Ou Xin is injured, so it's not appropriate to run."

Zhu Qiyu's first choice is Ou Xin, and the second choice is Tao Cheng.

"Your Majesty, Tao Cheng was also sick a few years ago, I'm afraid I won't need it." Yue Zheng replied.

"If Annan and Zhancheng don't dare to attack the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to send Yang Yu." Zhu Qiyu decided on the candidate.

Yu Qian muttered: "You should also select some clever people from the factory guards who are good at gathering intelligence." ”

Factory guards have important positions.

"Send Lu Gao to make up for it."

Zhu Qiyu has a new plan for Tiqi, responsible for foreign affairs and training spies.

If it doesn't work, let it be put to death.

"Your Majesty, there is still a eunuch in the palace to show formality."

Yu Qian has two deep meanings, one is that the emperor is at ease; The second is to pass on the decree, of course, there must be eunuchs.

"Transporting grain seeds is extremely important, you have to send a spirit point, Wynne, you go!"

Wynn walked out from the side of the steps and knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your grace." ”

This is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The emperor has said that he will actually control the entire Southeast Asia in the future, just look at Bian Yong, you will know that from a memelang, he has become a dignified temple.

Southeast Asia is a good place to make meritorious contributions.

He Huai'en has experienced in the army, and he also knows how to run the army, and he is the intimate person of the emperor, so he will definitely be able to make contributions in Southeast Asia.

"By the way, urge the king of Annan to transport grain to Guangxi."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Xia Xun is stationed in Guangxi, you can find Xia Xun if you have something, you can find Fang Ying, you can find Liu Zhenhai, you can find Xue Yuan, Xue Xuan, I can help you." ”

"This time, Bian Yong is the main envoy, Pan Benyu and Lu Gao are the deputy envoys, Huaien is the eunuch who guards the town, and Yang Yu is the commander."

"Transfer 200 southern soldiers from the Beijing camp, then 200 soldiers from Yunnan, 1,100 soldiers from Liangguang, and the rest from the cavalry."

"On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, you will set off!"

Bian Yong knelt on the ground: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"Bian Yong, in case the king of Annan kills the envoy of Annan because of his secret hatred, it will be difficult for you."

"I allow you to adapt to the situation, and I also allow you to kill!"

"Annan is a small country, and you still dare to question the envoy of the kingdom? You tell him that Fang Ying's million-strong master can pass the Vermilion Bird Pass at any time and destroy him Annanguo! ”

"I'm far away in Jingshi, so I can't help you with anything."

"But I tell you that you have been wronged outside, and I will give you a head!"

Zhu Qiyu gave Bian Yong courage.

is so domineering that the emperor is like Bian Yong's envoy, and what he wants is a person who is sophisticated.

With a lot of gifts, the relationship is the right solution.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care." Bian Yong kowtows.

The itinerary and the gifts to bring need to be carefully discussed by the cabinet.

"Bian Yong, when you arrive in Siam and trade with foreign merchants, you must tell them that we are willing to trade with them for a long time."

Hu Hu suddenly said: "It is not safe to transport seeds by land, let them go by water, faster and safer." ”

"There are other good things, and we are willing to pay a lot of money for them."

Bian Yong bowed and saluted: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Hu Hu explained a few more words and told him to go to the cabinet for a detailed discussion.

"Your Majesty, this batch of seeds has arrived in Liangguang, and they can be planted in Liangguang first, and then sent to Jiangxi and Lianghu."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, expressing puzzlement.

"Your Majesty, seeds also need to adapt to the climate, oranges are oranges in Huainan, and oranges are oranges in Huaibei." Hu Hu said with a smile.

"The old lady is old enough to seek the country, so do what the old lady says."

Zhu Qiyu sat down slowly: "After talking about food, it's spring." ”

"This year's spring festival, the examination will be held according to the days of previous years, and the Ministry of Rites will be in charge."

"Those who have obtained the concession can participate in this Encore."

The imperial examination is a big deal.

Last year, because of the delay in the imperial examination, many major events were delayed.

"Wechen obeys!" Bai Gui kowtowed, he lost face last year, and he must get it back this year.

"This year's Jingcha is also a big event."

Zhu Qiyu said: "We must start preparing from the beginning of the year. ”

"The people in Beijing are overburdened, and they try to abolish the husband's service, and they have to pay for conscription, and they have to pay for less, but the treasury does not have it, and the internal funds are burdened."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department will go down to inspect all localities and reduce or exempt taxes for areas where the disaster is severe."

"Wait for the Annan grain to be shipped to Guangxi, and reduce this year's taxes as appropriate."

The courtiers knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the ministers congratulate the Holy Son of Heaven!" ”

"Then there's the issue of coal."

"Coal ash from coal burning should be recycled and the streets should be kept clean and hygienic."

"I'm thinking about how to lower the price of coal so that people can afford to burn it, so that they can't cut down anymore."

Seeing that Hu Hu had something to say: "This matter is not urgent, it can be solved in autumn." ”

"The issue of government officials is also a big deal."

"Tomorrow morning, the court will discuss how to divide departments and powers, and do not allow public weapons to be used for private purposes, even if it is me, and not to make good use of public weapons."

These words can be said in the hearts of the courtiers.

You're the one who abuses the public weapon!

"Then after the ploughing is cleared in various places, the problem of resettlement is a big problem, and the center must pay attention to it."

"There's been a lot of things going on this year."

"I'll leave it to you."

"We all need me and you to work together and move forward hand in hand."

Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty again!" ”

"The ministers are willing to do their best for Daming!"

The courtiers bowed.

The early dynasty is over, after all, the New Year is being celebrated everywhere, and the newspapers have stopped, and there is nothing new.

The rumors outside could not reach the emperor's ears.

He went to the harem and had a meal in the Chengqian Palace.
