The summer of the thirty-sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

Capital.

Wenhua Garden outside the Mandarin Gate.

In the open space east of the arch bridge of Wenhua Gate, low shrubs were transplanted, brick roads were laid, and the lawn was mowed, which became a good place for officials to rest.

Xie Jin and Xu Ning sat comfortably on the stone bench.

Xu Ning never thought that he would have this day to be so free in the garden of the palace.

The Wenhua Hall belongs to the government affairs organization.

It is also a royal palace in the eyes of ordinary people.

"The railway project plan in Yunnan-Guizhou Laos, and even the development package, has inevitably been gradually reduced, although it will not be canceled, but I am afraid that it will not be completed within five years."

"yes, plans don't change as quickly."

Xu Ning nodded understandingly.

Xie Jin quipped: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the railway engineering department you manage is no longer an ordinary department, but a big brother." ”

Xu Ning waved his hand again and again.

"I don't deserve it."

"It's just a joke from the brother department, how can the elder take it seriously."

"Although it is a joke, it is also the truth." Xie Jin looked at Xu Ning, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, opportunities are often more important than talents.

On talent.

There are so many talents in the world.

But whether it is himself or Xu Ning in front of him, he encountered the best opportunity and firmly grasped it, so that he has today's scenery, which shows how important the choice is.

The hundreds of thousands of railway workers of the Ministry of Railway Engineering, or after the railway operation is stripped out, whether it is the materials purchased, the construction funds, etc., are a huge network of interests, and the slightest hint is revealed between the fingers, which is the wealth of the sky.

Xu Ning was reluctant to talk deeply about this matter, and took the initiative to say: "What the elder said about the idea of building a railway in Yili Province and East Chagatai is not willing to do so, but it can't. ”

"The railways built in the Western Regions Province have a better geographical environment than Yili Jiangli and East Chagatai Prefecture, and even so, the maintenance cost is very high, and the most difficult thing is not to build."

The Ministry of Railway Engineering is not Xu Ning's, and after more than ten years, it has a collective will.

Even Xu Ning can't completely control it.

Yang Shiqi and the Ministry of War got close, Xie Jin took a fancy to the Ministry of Railway Engineering, and the two sides hit it off, although it was not an alliance, but it was also a demand for interests, and the imperial court needed to deepen its control over the ministries, and the ministries also needed to have representatives who spoke out in the imperial court.

Every time the imperial court put forward a major development plan, railway construction is the priority, and the construction of railways to drive economic development has been one of the main economic means of the imperial court.

Change the soup without changing the medicine.

But it's easy to make.

"No matter where the railway is built, no matter how difficult and the environment is harsh, the railway engineering department must give full play to the spirit of struggle in building the Great Wall to ensure the completion of the project."

"After the exploration and research of the technical department, in order to solve the railway construction in Yili Shori and East Chagatai Metropolitan Division, it is necessary to build an elevated railway road in the form of a bridge."

Xu Ning explained: "It can be built, and more people can be used to solve the construction problem, but the cost is too high, and the number of materials needed is not affordable in China." ”

Xie Jin nodded understandingly, and did not force the Ministry of Railway Engineering to come forward because of his political future.

"Next, your railway engineering department may be wronged."

Xu Ning was stunned, and finally nodded helplessly.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Since the railways in the northwest cannot be built, and the progress of the railways in the southwest will be affected, the state will not support hundreds of thousands of railway workers in vain, and will definitely give new solutions.

Soon.

Xie Jin took his plan and presented it to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi looked at it, Xie Jin's plan is mainly the next stage of the economic stimulus plan, in addition to the construction of the original southwest railway, to increase the regulation and control of the domestic economy, mainly in the agricultural machinery industry and the chemical industry.

"No agriculture is unstable, no work is not strong, no business is not rich."

Zhu Gaochi pointed and said: "The development of agriculture must be the most important, and new agricultural technologies, from planting to machinery, must be given the greatest support and subsidies. ”

"The more this time, the more you have to pay attention to agriculture, your ideas are very good, just do what you think."

With the approval of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's cabinet.

His biggest competitor is Hu Guang, Hu Guang's northwest plan has become the next focus, and he has won back a city, Xie Jin will not go against the overall situation, but he will not easily cede power.

The cabinet system, with the departure of the saint, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be reformed.

No one knows exactly what kind of pattern it will become, but occupying the most advantageous position is everyone's first choice.

On the day Zhu Di ascended the throne, he decreed that His Royal Highness the Emperor was the crown prince and supervised the country.

At this time.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites also came to give a notice.

The popularization of railways has accelerated the efficiency of society, including the speed of official documents in the imperial court.

Knowing Goryeo's attitude, Hu Guang and the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not plan in vain, and Li Fangyuan, who was the most uneasy in Goryeo, agreed to the request of the Ming Dynasty and promised to send 30,000 soldiers.

Finally got off to a good start.

Zhu Gaochi smiled with satisfaction: "When people are alive, one day, they suddenly find that their thoughts have changed, and after thinking about it carefully, they can't say why, from small individuals to large countries. ”

Xie Jin knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was beating him.

If this spring's Daming is like a pot of burning coal, then the death of the saint seems to have cooled down the boiling Daming, all parties have calmed down, and the original quarrel is no longer fierce.

When you calm down, your thinking will be clear.

In the past, there were many things that were noisy, but everyone suddenly stopped arguing, felt that it was unnecessary, and began to do practical things.

As advocated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Economic development is the right way, and we should devote major energy to thinking about some side issues on the basis of social development, and we need to distinguish the main trunk and what is the most important.

——

Wuying Palace.

"Grandpa." A five-year-old child, holding his three-year-old sister, came to Wuyingdian to greet him, and according to his mother's teachings, the children happily changed their words.

Zhu Di, who was holding a wooden sword and a flower basket in his hand, was full of smiles, and when he heard this title, he was suddenly stunned, and soon reacted again, and his face returned to normal.

"This is for you."

"This is for you."

Zhu Di bent down and handed the flower basket to the little girl, a three-year-old girl, who didn't know much, was extremely well-behaved, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you, Grandpa." ”

"Good."

Zhu Di couldn't help but touch his granddaughter's little head, and the naughty boy on the side was already holding his first "sword", and he couldn't put it down and ran to the side to perform.

The little girl looked at her brother.

Zhu Di laughed and picked up the girl and walked outside the palace.

The child is the best at seeing people's eyes, knowing that the emperor's grandfather does not stop him, he rushed out excitedly, and killed the Quartet in the Wuying Palace, and the flowers and plants suffered.

The eunuchs and female officials stopped talking.

"Let him play, isn't it just some grass and trees." Zhu Di said indifferently.

The little girl on his arm hugged Zhu Di tightly, revealing nervous little eyes, and the happy Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di does not have as many children as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di's princess is Xu.

There was a concubine who was the daughter of a Jurchen chieftain, out of political necessity for marriage.

In history, Zhu Di rebelled and ascended the throne, and in the early years of Yongle, he chose a girl from a good family to enter the palace, and there was a woman surnamed Wang, who was outstanding in talent, and was named a concubine, and for political interests, he named the sister of the British Gong Zhang Fu as a concubine.

Then there are the women who have paid tribute to North Korea for many years, a total of seventeen, all of whom have been named concubines or Zhaoyi.

As for the children, except for the four sons who died young, as well as the youngest daughter, the other three sons and four daughters were all born to the Xu family.

After Zhu Di's death, Han and other sixteen Korean concubines were all buried.

Queen Ma's five sons have all married foreign women, but they are very concerned about the inheritance of blood, even the King of Qin, which is the same as the Qing Dynasty, which forbade Manchu and Han intermarriage in order to ensure bloodline.

Feeling the liveliness and cuteness of his grandchildren, Zhu Di seems to feel the continuation of life.

Fifty knows the destiny of heaven.

Unconsciously, he was forty-five years old, thinking about the twenty-five years of Hongwu, and the boss pulling an iron ball on the streets of Beiping City, as if it had happened in the previous generation.

After accompanying his grandchildren for half a day, Zhu Di left Wuying Palace.

Although Zhu Di is the emperor, the political center of the country has actually moved to the Wenhua Palace, not the Qianqing Palace, when he went to the Qianqing Palace, the boss planned to build the administrative functions of the Wuying Hall and the Wenhua Palace into one, and had already told himself.

Today, Zhu Di knew that he would not be able to stay in the imperial city for a few days.

Leaving the capital this time will be different from the past.

You won't be able to come back for at least two or three years.

I don't feel anything else reluctant, but the queen and a few grandchildren make Zhu Di reluctant in his heart.

The officials of the Governor's Office, the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and other officials of the Five Armies have been waiting in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Di did not appear until the afternoon, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly greeted him, Zhu Di nodded, and saw a big map when he entered the door.

"This is a combination of the memories of the merchants and the envoys who sent Timur in the past, and made about the current territory of the Timurid Khanate, as well as the surrounding countries and regions."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi exerted at least half of his strength in the new world map, which can be regarded as making the map somewhat consistent with the world map of later generations.

"It's huge."

After a few glances, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.

Daming is also very big.

However, there are railways in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, from north to south, but the Timurid Khanate does not, especially in Central Asia, which is mountainous and desert, and the journey is very difficult.

"It's huge, indeed."

"Timur's martial arts are still very strong, which is worthy of people's sighs." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Only with correct cognition can we make the most sensible response.

The competition, and even the development and breakthrough of the Western countries, is absolutely powerful, and the degree of civilization has also surpassed that of the Eastern civilization.

Correct understanding and learning from their strengths is the right path.

But it's definitely not extreme.

denying one's own existence, ignoring the environment, conditions, historical factors, etc., and even distorting facts, smearing the achievements of ancient times, and even making remarks that people are inferior to others.

Look for the reason for backwardness, not inferiority, let alone complaining.

Even to Timur.

The other party is indeed barbaric, but why can they conquer such a large territory.

Zhu Gaochi is very confident.

Looking at the confident eldest son, Zhu Di also swept away the squandering in his heart, and laughed: "No wonder this person does not accept Daming, if it is to the point of him, he will not obediently surrender to others." ”

"It's just that he doesn't want to be the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it's right that he wants to rob the Ming Dynasty and enslave the people of the Ming Dynasty, so the world will not tolerate him."

"The Emperor Shengming!"

The ministers said one after another.

Looking at the huge map, Zhu Di's fighting spirit rose.

If.

To be able to open up this place for the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a temporary hardship, then his wisdom will definitely be admired by future generations, at least he will not let future generations evaluate him, saying that he is a tiger father and a dog.

"Good."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhu Di's appearance, Zhu Gaochi also smiled.

The generals of the armies are already in place.

Day.

The Western Expeditionary Army was formed.

The use of the levy has already said it all.

His Majesty the Emperor personally conscripted.

Zhang Fu served as the commander-in-chief of the right-wing army, and Zhu Neng ended his tenure in Jiaozhi and returned to China to serve as the commander-in-chief of the left-wing army. Geng Bingwen served as the general of the Chinese army, Wang Cong led the loyal army, and Qiu Fu led the Feng Yong army.

Wang Zhen is the forward general, Zhao An, Jiang Gui, Ren Li, Liu Zhen, Huo Zhen, Tan Yuan, Li Yuan and other generals.

The army of the Western Expedition was 200,000, the reserve army was 100,000, and the people were 200,000.

A total of half a million.

The battle of the Western Expedition to destroy the country was published in the newspaper.

The imperial court is clear in the world.

All criticism and anything are forbidden, priority is given to ensuring the smooth passage of the Western Expedition, and on the premise of victory, there must be no disobedience or drag in the slightest, and violators will be severely punished.

Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, personally went to the Western Regions Province to be responsible for the supply of the army.

"I don't care about anything else, but one thing." Before Zhu Di left, he asked Zhu Gaochi to explain.

"Father is worried about uncles and Zhu Yunwen?"

"yes."

"There are still 100,000 troops in Beijing and the surrounding areas, and the garrisons are still there, they can't set off the wind and waves, and they don't dare." Zhu Gaochi said with certainty that the newspaper is full of firepower, coupled with the current social atmosphere.

Whoever dares to take advantage of this time to make trouble will not only not get the support of the people of the world, but will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat him.

"There is also the third brother here, and the third brother is doing well in Jinyiwei."

Zhu Gaochi agreed.

"Actually, I want to leave the second child behind, he can be a sharp blade in your hand." Zhu Di said regretfully.

"My father has traveled thousands of miles, and I need the care of my second brother, and with my second brother by my father's side, my sons can feel at ease." Zhu Gaochi insisted.

Brothers work together, and their profits are broken.

They were three brothers, each with their own talents.

But Zhu Gaochi chose to send Zhu Gaochu, he was really worried about Zhu Di, after all, he had to go so far, history is history after all, Zhu Yuanzhang lived for a few more years, so it can be seen that things will change.

Zhu Di's health is what Zhu Gaochi cares about the most.

On the itinerary, the second brother can not only protect his father, but also have his son by his side, I believe Zhu Di can also be happier.

Zhu Di didn't say much.

did not insist on keeping the second child, but also considered this.

He's getting old, too.

In case there is a bad one, at least the army has the backbone and will not lose its head.

As for whether the second child will take the opportunity to be ambitious?

He didn't dare to give him ten dares, and the army would not support the second brother, the relationship between the three brothers was good since childhood, and Zhu Di was very relieved.

There is also a chapter at 6 p.m., and the daily update has also reverted to a fixed update at 6 p.m. every day.
