The widow of the Zhao family has been busier than ever since she returned from Zijin Pass, and she told her sons that there was a new play to be rehearsed at the Grand Theater.

The second son, Zhao Rui, is very happy, and there are new dramas to watch.

The eldest son, Zhao Hong, was very silent.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Zhao Hong also knows his mother very well, and the smile on his mother's face is getting brighter and brighter, it shouldn't be so simple.

He couldn't accept it in his heart, and he couldn't stand the gossip of his neighbors when it really happened, and it would make him crazy when he thought about it.

When he thinks of his father who died of illness, he even hates his mother, because this thought startles him.

But in the face of the happy smile on his mother's face, Zhao Hong chose to endure it and did not say a word of weight in front of his mother.

Until this day.

The family of three was as usual, with three dishes on the table, one boiled tofu soup, one salted dried fish, and one egg scrambled leeks.

In front of Zhao Hong, in addition to the dishes and chopsticks, there was also a pot of wine and a wine glass.

The mother sandwiched a chopsticks dish for the second son, and a piece of salted dried fish for the eldest son, which is a good appetizer.

The living standards of the Zhao family's mother and son are also good among the workers, not to mention ordinary farmers.

There are three people in a family who have a stable and not small income, and there is no illness or disaster, so they are naturally wealthier.

"I'm going to Liaodong in a few days." Zhao Hong said suddenly.

"Going on a business trip to Liaodong?"

The widow of the Zhao family asked subconsciously, but she quickly reacted that her son worked in the Dispatching Department of the Ministry of Railway Engineering, and there was no need to go on a business trip.

"I transferred to the military a few months ago, and now I am called to train in the army, which will take three months." Zhao Hong said as he looked at his younger brother.

"During my absence, you have to pick up more things at home."

"Okay, big brother."

Zhao Rui didn't react, and answered as usual, and immediately felt that something was not right, and hurriedly looked at his mother to judge whether he had guessed wrong.

At this time, the widow of the Zhao family looked at her eldest son in a daze.

In the house, the harmonious atmosphere just now became solemn, and the eyes of the widow of the Zhao family began to turn red, with tears.

"Mother didn't do anything, don't be deceived by the rumors outside." The widow of the Zhao family choked up.

The eldest son wanted to speak in front of her many times, and she had seen it for a long time, but she never knew it.

I didn't expect the eldest son to make such a decision.

She was sad.

The revenge of her eldest son made her feel heartache and regret, she would rather not go to work at the Peking Grand Theater than join the army.

Seeing his mother's remorse, Zhao Hong had a very refreshing feeling, but when his mother cried bitterly, he felt bored again.

Truly.

He does not deny that he has transferred to the military and has a certain idea of revenge on his mother, but he is Zhao Hong in the end, he has been studying since he was a child, and he suffered a lot in his childhood.

He's not a random decision-making character.

Now that his mother has spoken it, the depression that has been blocked in his heart suddenly feels that it is no big deal.

"China Heavy Industries' care for military status is the highest priority, whether it is treatment or promotion, military status is the first place."

"My son wants to join the military, in addition to this consideration, he also wants to serve the little prince more."

There are many workers in China Heavy Industry, and there are very few who can talk to the little prince in person, Zhao Hong doesn't know if the little prince still remembers himself, but he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Zhao Rui devoted himself to reading.

He was born late, although he also suffered a lot, but the changes in the family did not make him remember as deeply as his eldest brother.

Hearing the conversation between his mother and his eldest brother, is there something he doesn't know, and he looks back and forth on the faces of his mother and eldest brother, trying to see what is going on.

"Big brother, you are so dignified, why do you want to transfer to the military, if there is a war one day, what is good or bad, how sad my mother should be."

Zhao Rui was a little dissatisfied.

Zhao Hong shook his head, "There are so many guards in Beiping, and there is no shortage of military households in our Ming Dynasty, if we really fight, it will not be our turn." ”

"No, it's not."

The widow of the Zhao family cried.

She was originally a soft woman, and when her husband was alive, she only took care of the affairs of the house, but then her husband died, and the hardships of life surrounded them all at once.

After crying for a long time, she stopped crying.

When the days are hard, she can't cry, but when the days are good, she cries easily.

Her cultural level is not high, but she has seen a lot in the Grand Theater, and she does not have so much visible knowledge, and there are some things she can feel, but she can't get a hand or two.

"Now there are a lot more slogans for the Xuanjun."

"The new drama filmed by our Grand Theater should focus on supporting the army."

"A lot of people said strange things."

…….

Listening to the widowed mother's intermittent and chaotic words, the expressions of the two brothers became serious.

Zhao Rui reads, not dead books.

Zhao Hong's character is not an ordinary youth.

The two felt something, plus some of the words their mother said, although they didn't know what was going to happen, but the change in the army was still depressing.

The young Zhao Rui did not grow up after all, and his life experience made him only stare at his eldest brother nervously.

He didn't know what to say, and he didn't have any good ideas.

Zhao Hong's face calmed down.

"The little prince is as kind to our family as a mountain, and I am willing to be a soldier for the little prince, and I should do it."

"Don't say that there is no war now, if there is really that day, as long as the little prince needs it, our family must have a person, I am the eldest son in the family, and I should serve the little king."

As soon as Zhao Hong finished speaking, there was a cry of "woo woo woo~" on the side.

The widowed mother of the Zhao family held her face and cried.

Zhao Rui gritted his teeth and lowered his hair fiercely.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhao Hong glanced at his younger brother, and Zhao Rui glanced at his eldest brother inexplicably, how can this kind of thing be said outside, it is messy for no reason.

……

Since the death of King Qin, the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty seems very weird, and the surface is full of stability, but people know that the atmosphere is not quite right.

The first to bear the brunt was King Jin.

In Shanxi, the King of Jin diligently grasped military power, and so did the King of Yan in Beiping.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had to issue an edict again to reiterate that the kings were required to abide by the imperial court system and not violate the system.

And in history, the movements of several vassal kings were not small.

This change is inevitable.

Just as in history, the only real power of the Ming Dynasty, the Muguo Mansion of Yunnan, fought with the local government for hundreds of years in the matter of military power.

The death of King Qin made the officials very nervous for a while, for fear that the saint would be implicated in a big case.

Therefore, in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the officials were more restrained towards the vassal kings and did not make major moves.

However, the behavior of the vassal kings in grasping military power did stimulate many officials, especially the new faction in the line of Emperor Taisun of Yingtianfu.

The development of things must have a context to follow.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes, it was precisely because of these behaviors that after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the new faction trusted by the new emperor took power.

The new faction must first settle the inside before the outside, and squeezed out the old school of Ru Yu and other figures from the court and transferred them to the locality.

The court that unified its thinking launched the most ruthless strategy to cut down the feudal king.

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to die.

The contradictions between the two are irreconcilable and must end with the victory of one side, which itself represents the advanced productive forces.

So whether it is out of public heart or selfishness, Zhu Gaochi hopes to lose the people in the imperial court.

Meantime.

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to be like in history, although Zhu Di's rebellion was only four years, he could win a small victory, and there were too many wars.

He wants to reduce the process to the lowest cost.

Many outstanding talents were selected, those from military families were sent to the Shiqiao Battalion for training, and those from civilian households were sent to Jinzhou for training.

These specially trained talents are all reserve military attachés, which are used to strengthen the foundation of Zhu Di's rebellion.

……

Shaanxi.

The eldest son of the King of Qin was finally ordered by the sage to inherit the new King of Qin, and Zhu Shangbing, who was relieved, did not dare to make a fuss.

Just like the performance in history, whether it is Zhu Yunwen's cutting of the domain, or Zhu Di's rebellion, or even Zhu Di becoming the emperor.

The second-generation King of Qin was indifferent, obediently staying in the Qin Palace, Shaanxi, and doing nothing.

Therefore, the current Zhu Shangbing, who is also obedient and filial, will not leave the palace half a step without major events.

After all, the sage's evaluation of his father was too bad, which caused the political prestige of the Qin Palace's mansion to be devastated.

Although the Shaanxi construction business group started late, the large scale of investment, the large number of participating forces, and the complex situation in Shaanxi made the palace and the government look like ostriches.

As a result, although Shanxi's coal resources are more abundant and high-quality, the development momentum of the Shaanxi Construction Business Group this year is far greater than that of Shanxi.

Coal mines were opened one after another, and the steam engine factory prepared by Shaanxi was in full swing for production, and a second branch factory was established.

Honeycomb coal factories, under the plan of the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, have been opened one by one in 57 prefectures, 20 scattered prefectures, and hundreds of counties in Shaanxi.

In the face of the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, which has deep pockets and has seized the market rapidly, local businessmen are simply unable to compete.

In terms of power, the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Shaanxi Construction Business Group, which is also a giant.

What if you can't beat it, you can only join.

The smart local businessmen curry favor with the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce and strive to join it, and the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce will not blindly suppress it, absorbing some powerful local snakes in order to develop their careers.

As Guo Song, the owner of a small honeycomb coal mill, said, small businesses can also become bigger and stronger, and he has won the support of China Heavy Industries.

Under the leadership of this ambitious businessman, the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, which was still weak at the time, has indeed become a large trading house in several provinces.

The first in terms of scale and capital is, of course, the Coal Mining Industry Association.

The only ones who could compete with it were the salt merchants of the south.

However, the organization of salt merchants is not as rigorous as that of mine owners organized by chambers of commerce, and the mine owners are backed by China Heavy Industries.

The Coal Mining Industry Association is undoubtedly the No. 1 business force in the Ming Dynasty.

New Year's Close.

The headquarters of Zhonghua Heavy Industry in Beiping held the second plenary business conference, these big businessmen abroad, as well as the new big businessmen from other places.

Both newcomers and old people arrived in Peking happily.

Businessmen never thought that they would have such a relaxed external business environment, and it was really cool to use capital to oppress people.
