According to the importance of Annan, Burma, North Korea, and Nanjing in his heart, Zhu Qiyu chose to read Annan's secret report first.

I don't know if I don't know this, but I was startled when I saw it: "Oh, Xu Youzhen, Li Shulin, Yang Xinmin, Yue Zheng, Xue Xilian and a few of them have made a 5,000-material warship in Annan, saying that it has already been built, and when the artillery is assembled next spring, it will be officially delivered to the Fujian Naval Division." ”

Lin Xiangyu asked on the side: "Is the warship of 5,000 materials very powerful?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "According to the information left by Zheng He, the warship of 5,000 materials is the main ship that went to the Western Ocean.

Oops, it's so distressing. I asked them to cut down teak from Burma and Siam, build a few big ships for trial and test, and then build super giant ships when they have experience.

It's good for these grandfathers to come up and cook me for 5,000 materials, and that's pretty much the limit of a wooden boat.

It would take forty or fifty years for a teak tree to grow enough to build a giant ship, and one less to cut it down.

Let them cut it down, what will my son and my grandson use.

Well, let the cabinet draft a decree that teak will be included in the strictly controlled materials, which will only be allocated by the imperial court, and the people shall not be cut, traded, or used. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked again: "Build such a big warship, can you find an opponent, husband?" ”

"Yes, why not, Japan is my opponent. Although Japan's national strength is far inferior to that of our Ming Dynasty, in fighting a war, it is necessary to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.

The reason why I haven't been defeated in the five years since I ascended the throne is because I have never taken my opponent lightly.

Not only do Japan and Korea have the trade value I want, but these two small countries have a large population at all.

Although there are no specific figures, the population of Japan and North Korea will definitely not be less than 5 million.

After conquering the two countries, we can not only sell our domestic goods, but also make use of the manpower of the two countries.

In addition, North Korea has mountain treasures, Japan has gold mines, silver mines, after eating them, the Ming Dynasty's national strength has increased dramatically, so there is no need to squeeze the people so ruthlessly.

Although people now think that I am doing this superfluously, in four or five hundred years, future generations will understand my great achievements. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Qiyu continued: "In addition to building ships, Xu Youzhen and the others also continued to recruit Yao people, preparing to build another army of fifty or sixty thousand people, and then go to attack Zhancheng.

According to Gao Ping's secret report, these Yao people were extremely enthusiastic, crying and shouting to join the army.

The two most troublesome problems in the south are the Miao people and the Yao people.

Now that it has been resolved, the next step is to migrate the Han people to the south, and it is necessary to ensure that in Annam, Myanmar and other provinces, the Han people account for at least seventy percent. ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Don't say it, my husband asked for a pilot project in Jiangxi to collect abandoned babies.

These people are really enthusiastic enough to throw their children, and in such a short period of time, more than 1,000 babies have been sent over.

Most of them are baby girls, how do you place them?

Jingzhao Mansion treats people as hot potatoes and is not very willing to take over. What do you say, husband? ”

Zhu Qiyu asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" ”

Ning Xiang said with a smile: "Anyway, we have a lot of land, and the slave family picks some delicate eyebrows and raises them in the Siyuan Prison." The rest are kept in the grange.

In fact, it can't be called a grange anymore, it should be called a village. There is too much land for our family, and the tenants who farm for our family are not one by one, but village by village. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, teach them to read and write from an early age, teach them to be loyal and patriotic, and wait until they are ten years old, and then send them to the border for resettlement."

The government is unwilling to do such thankless and tiring work, so we will bear it ourselves.

But there are also benefits, in the future, our pro-army soldiers will be selected from these people. In the end, it was raised by his own family, and in general, loyalty is somewhat stronger than that chosen outside. ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "I know, the slave family thinks the same way." ”

Zhu Qiyu took Ning Xiang into his arms and asked with a smile: "Usually you always say that you don't want to do it, and you don't want to do it, but I think your Siyuan is very well supervised."

This invisible 'West Factory' is much easier to use than the East Factory and the 'Inner Factory'.

Not only are you good at spying on intelligence, but they can also help me win over my henchmen.

Liu Chang always had a bitter face before, since you gave him four concubines, I look at his mental state, it is really alive and vigorous. ”

Ning Xiang sparked when she heard this: "Don't mention this matter, the slave family has not dared to go out recently." Last time, the slave family went to Qingyun Pavilion to deliver snacks to her husband, but she was bumped into by Wang Lin for some reason.

Then he rushed up and cried at the feet of the slave. The slave family said that it didn't work, and in the end he had to give him four concubines before finally sending him away.

Since then, the commanders and commanders of the Yingzhou Guard, who have not been married, have taken the opportunity of guarding the guards to wait for rabbits everywhere in our palace every day.

The slave family has become a little white rabbit, and it is easy to cultivate a few satisfactory girls, but it is useless, and those new army commanders who have no conscience will all be snatched away. ”

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "I can't help it, it seems that you have a reputation, and the girls you have cultivated are very popular." ”

Lin Xiangyu teased: "The girl cultivated by this girl is carved out of the same mold as her, both gentle and playful, both coquettish and dressed, and all of them are extremely shameless, who doesn't like this kind of woman." ”

Ning Xiang pretended to be angry and scolded: "What is called is extremely shameless, and they are carved out of the same mold as me." Do you boast so much, I thank you so much. ”

Lin Xiangyu retorted innocently: "Look, when I slept with my husband, I was shameless, but you were more shameless than me, you dare to try any mood, and our other sisters are ashamed of themselves, isn't this a fact, how can I wronged you?" ”

Ning Xiang heard this, broke free from Zhu Qiyu's arms, and was about to pinch Lin Xiangyu. Seeing this, Qianxue, Suxi, and Linglong also went up to help, and the Hehuan Hall was suddenly filled with laughter.

……

In the last three months of Jingtai's four years, everything went according to plan and was peaceful.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and even the Mongolian people in the north are no longer demons. The Jurchens and North Koreans in the northeast are also nesting at home, secretly accumulating strength.

However, these people have not yet realized that the strategic focus of the Great Tomorrow has shifted to the north.

November 11, in the past two decades, this day is one of the most important days of the Ming Dynasty.

But this time it was deserted, and neither Beijing nor Nanjing had any loyal ministers clamoring to celebrate the Birthday of their orthodox emperors.

Only the emperor himself still spent a lot of money to make a lacquered gold screen and gave it to King Yi as a birthday gift.

It was nearly noon, and the emperor's dictation was personally sent down to the cabinet by Wang Cheng, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal: Since the beginning of winter, the concubine of Xuanmiao has had a headache every day, and it has been worse in recent days.

The cabinet and the Ministry of Rites in the capital to seek medical treatment, there are famous folk doctors who can rejuvenate the hand, not only rewarded, but also can be recruited into the Tai Hospital as a medical officer.

Hearing that Concubine Xuanmiao was seriously ill, the ministers attached great importance to it. is so sick that he needs the emperor to issue an order to seek medical treatment, is it necessary?

After Wang Cheng finished passing the decree, he turned around and left. By the time everyone reacted, Wang Cheng had already run away.

The ministers looked at each other and were helpless, so they had to urge the Ministry of Rites to seek medical treatment in the capital.

Thanks to the evil Taoist for rewarding 1,000 coins
