“……”

Zhu Gaosui was silent for a while, and nodded helplessly.

"Thank you Dad!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di waved his hand casually, "Since you want to lead the army to sea, you must be mature, and you must think carefully about everything you do, the life and death of those soldiers are all in your thoughts."

As for the scholar Ji Gang you newly recruited, he is a useful subordinate, but this person has bad scheming, and there are some evil tricks and treachery, you have to be careful in the future, be careful of devouring the master! ”

"Yes, Dad, don't worry!"

Zhu Gaosui nodded hurriedly in response.

It's just that the disdain in his eyes made Zhu Di's heart angry.

"Since it's okay, let's leave quickly!"

"Leave the child!"

Zhu Gaosui also wanted to leave early, so without any hesitation, he turned around and ran outside.

Zhu Di sighed slightly, and instructed Yisha on the side: "Find an opportunity, send a few people to King Zhao's side, and keep an eye on Ji Gang and a few people!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yisha hurriedly responded.

"Go find the prince again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

At this time, the cement straight road and the Qian Zhuang should be gradually sorted out, and the remaining trivial matters only need to be handed over to the people below.

Zhu Gaochi finally relaxed, and he could spend half a day in the cabinet, leisurely watching the recitals submitted below.

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi looked up and saw that the eunuch who had been serving his father at all times was also lost, looking at him with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi felt a little wrong.

"Yi Daiban, I don't know what's going on?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is looking for you!"

"Father?"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, then got up helplessly and went to Fengtian Palace.

……

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di and asked cautiously: "I don't know if my father called the child to come, is it ......?"

Zhu Di asked: "Let's establish a city shipping department, who do you think is better to let the city shipping department be in charge?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's heart suddenly relaxed.

"Dad, Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting, Yan Xiangwu and a few others, served as trade envoys in Yan Kingdom, responsible for port commerce.

It just so happened that Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting, and Yan Xiangwu were also in Beijing, so they could each be in charge of a city.

In addition, Dad will select a few more eunuchs in the palace to assist them and support them at the same time......"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "This matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"Yes...... Father! ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly.

These things have to fall into his hands in the end!

……

"Master Hou, my Shenji Battalion is all fighting in Annan?"

On the other side, Liu Sheng had already arrived at the Dinghai Hou Mansion, and asked Guo An with excitement on his face.

"Exactly!"

Guo An said, "The Shenji Battalion has spent millions of taels of silver on Your Majesty, and it's time to show Your Majesty their divine might!" ”

Liu Sheng's face was solemn, "Master Hou, don't worry, as long as there are enough gunpowder bombs, no matter how many soldiers there are in Annan this time, my Shenji Battalion can blow them up into meat foam!" ”

"We know the power of the Divine Machine Battalion!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Since muskets and artillery have been designated as the weapons of the Shenji Battalion, the Ordnance Bureau has had the task of manufacturing ammunition and artillery every day.

This year is enough for my Shenji battalion to attack Annan once! ”

Liu Sheng asked with anticipation on his face: "Master Hou, then how much ammunition can I bring with me when I go to the Shenji Battalion this time?" ”

Guo An smiled slightly, "How much do you want to bring?" ”

Liu Sheng smiled and replied: "Master Hou, the last general, the last general thinks...... 100 rounds of musket ammunition per person, 20 hand-thrown rounds, in addition, 5,000 bombs, 5,000 incendiary bombs......"

"Out of breath!"

Guo An couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't you look down on the Ordnance Bureau, with such a small amount of ammunition, how can I do a big job in the Shenji Battalion?" ”

"What does Master Hou mean?"

Liu Sheng looked at Guo An in surprise.

"At least three hundred rounds of musket ammunition per person, thirty hand-thrown rounds, and as for bombs, at least twenty thousand.

10,000 incendiary bombs, 30,000 mines......"

"So much?"

As Guo An finished speaking, Liu Sheng's eyes widened directly, his face full of surprise.

Guo An said lightly: "I am not short of money, and the soldiers of my Shenji Battalion are much more important than these ammunition!" ”

Daming is not short of money?

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, full of wry smiles, I'm afraid only you dare to say these words.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

"Don't worry, just practice with peace of mind, don't care what the outside world says!"

"Yes, Master Hou!"

After thinking about it, Guo An asked again: "How are the ministers doing during this period?" What kind of moths are there? ”

Liu Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "Don't worry, Master Hou, those ministers are quite peaceful." ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "You can let them go on weekdays, but if they go to the battlefield, they dare to interfere indiscriminately, and they will not show mercy!"

Your Majesty, I'll just say it! ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Liu Sheng said with gratitude on his face.

In order to control the army, there are ministers in many large armies.

These ministers can directly sue the palace, and those generals who are deeply favored by the emperor, or princes like Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, can ignore those ministers.

The rest of the people, even generals like Liu Sheng, are often a little miserable.

Normally, I will be out of sight and out of mind, and I will endure it.

But on the battlefield, if those ministers are in control and want to intervene, it will be a disaster.

……

The second year of Hongding.

Daming is very lively!

The issuance of the report of His Royal Highness the Prince's palace allows the entire people of Daming to know all kinds of new things that happened in Daming.

Even in the past, if you want to know, you need to inquire about the corrupt officials who raided their homes for a long time, and the Di Bao can be written clearly.

Then, His Majesty set up a military academy, and military households can also go to school?

That Dinghai Marquis also invented a very valuable rubber-tired carriage that was not bumpy......

His Majesty wants to pave the cement straight road with cement, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will recruit thousands of laborers and craftsmen, and the daily wages will be very large......

The Tatars in the north were tormented by the locust plague and could not survive, and His Majesty allowed the Tatars to surrender and attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty!

That huge fleet of Western ships came back, bringing back more than 200 overseas treasures, and His Majesty made a lot of money......

In the coastal places of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Zhejiang, traitors have appeared!

The Chen family of the royal family of Annam was rebelled by the thieves in Annam, and the Chen family was killed cleanly......

His Majesty was furious and wanted to send troops to recruit Annan!

The entire Beijing division is preparing all kinds of materials for the expedition.

Your Majesty is also going to open the sea and start building the city......

The entire court hall was busy.

The people, businessmen and ordinary people are also busy.

By the end of July.

Some of the early rice in the vicinity of Jingshi has also begun to mature gradually.

The entire place south of the Yangtze River suddenly fell into silence, and everyone was harvesting rice.

Until mid-August.

After the harvest is completed, the entire south of the Yangtze River begins to be lively again.

On the Yangtze River, boats are like shuttles, densely packed, and come and go endlessly.

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, there are huge sea vessels moored.

People come and go, constantly carrying all kinds of goods.

Every now and then, a fleet of ships, laden with cargo and hundreds or thousands of guards, marched south.

Hundreds of ships come in and out of the entire coastal city every day.

A scene of prosperity.
