Chapter 221: In Kunning Palace, the Zhu family held a banquet
Jinling City.
British Mansion.
"It's miserable."
"I just received the news that the two countries of Vietnam and Occupation have gone through this wave of war, and it can be said that there is a lot of sorrow."
"Fortunately, the country of Yue is maintained, with the market provided by our Ming merchants to maintain, and the territory of the occupied country is simply a chaos where thieves are rampant."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"This... The law of conservation of money. ”
"They take the initiative to give more, and this price is what they deserve."
"However, our Ming garrison has passed, and it is impossible for some thieves to overthrow the Pengor."
Xiao Han shook his head slightly.
"The country is more inclined to barbarians, and there are no wealthy families like the Hu family and the Li family in Yueguo."
"Now that a large area of land and a large number of industries in the country are controlled by our Ming people, what are you going to let them do with the land of the country?"
Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.
"Farming!"
"For a high-capacity industrial chain, let's do it."
"Isn't it a tyrannical destruction of natural agricultural land like Zhanguo, which crops three or even four times a year, and is not good at farming?"
"Besides, there are a group of people with a long coastline in that place, and the Yue country is okay, directly bordering our Daming, and putting some industries in the past, even if they have a heart of disobedience, we can increase the number of people at any time."
"If Zhanguo has other thoughts, it is not easy for us to reinforce the Ming soldiers above, and with the long coastline, once they have industrial capacity, the output capacity of those island countries in the southeast is even stronger than our Ming."
"When will our Ming ship arrive soon, and we will be able to rush from Panyu to Zhanguo in a few hours."
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked.
"What boat can be so fast?"
Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.
"Clippers."
Xiao Han smiled and didn't explain.
"You're not going to be able to make a ship that fast, are you?"
Zhu Biao's eyes widened.
"Can't figure it out."
"I do have some ideas, but I haven't figured them out yet."
Xiao Han spread his hands.
Should I say it or not, the steam engine is really difficult, Xiao Han pulled the group of top craftsmen under his command and tried many times, but every time there will be problems such as air leakage and blockage.
The best one, after running more than a dozen strokes, also pierced.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
"I still have something to arrange here, so let's go first."
"Father and mother are going to cook in Kunning Palace tonight, remember to bring Miaoyun and Qingling over at night."
Zhu Biao opened his mouth and turned to leave.
Xiao Han touched his nose, looking helpless, are his words so untrustworthy now?
"Jiang right!"
Xiao Han snorted lightly and greeted Jiang You on the side.
"Your Highness."
Jiang You walked in and saluted Xiao Han.
"How's the information about Wang Baobao that you checked?"
Xiao Han asked at Jiang You.
"Back to Your Highness."
"The Sudieer Department is currently the strongest clan in the Remnant Yuan except for the Lin Wangting, but it is not this one that did not respect the Remnant Yuan Wangting King before."
"Instead, other tribes who bought our Ming equipment, Wang Baobao sent troops quickly, and it took less than half a month to pacify them."
"Now I have returned to the Qi Palace, but after coming back for a few days, Wang Baobao has indeed not been in court."
"The reason is that when he returns victoriously, he will worship his birth mother and tell him the good news."
Jiang said right to Xiao Han.
"Worship your birth mother?"
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed.
Wang Baobao's mother was the daughter of Jiangmen in the Yuan Dynasty, and his father was Han.
It is said that according to the tradition of patrilineal inheritance, Wang Baobao should be regarded as a Han talent, which is why Emperor Xuanguang could not fully trust Wang Baobao when he was the crown prince in his early years.
However, Wang Baobao received his mother's Yuan-style education since he was a child, so that when faced with the dilemma that the princes of all parties abroad were surrounded by wars and the kings did not trust Yue Fei inside, he did not choose to rebel and join the princes of the Central Plains.
The difference is that this guy is obviously more autonomous than Yue Fei, and in the face of such a situation, he is actually caught in the middle and fights back and forth.
In the end, Emperor Xuanguang once again threw an olive branch to him, and once again surrendered to Emperor Xuanguang.
Even if her sister is in the hands of the Zhu family, she has not wavered.
Wang Baobao went to worship his biological mother, and in terms of hidden meaning, he showed his loyalty to the Yuan Dynasty and proved that he was a Yuan person.
However, this timing is a bit exquisite, it is said that after returning victoriously, even if you want to worship your biological mother, you should first participate in the celebration banquet of Emperor Xuanguang.
"How did Emperor Xuanguang respond?"
Xiao Han asked at Jiang You.
"Emperor Xuanguang said, 'Filial piety is a virtue that has always been respected by the orthodox dynasty', and then canceled the prepared celebration banquet, saying that it would be opened again after Wang Baobao finished worshipping his biological mother."
Jiang You replied.
"It's kind of interesting."
"It seems that this Wang Baobao probably has a real physical problem."
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed.
If it is acted, then Wang Baobao and Emperor Xuanguang are too tacit to understand each other, after all, Emperor Xuanguang can be said to have asked Wang Baobao to worship his biological mother first, which can perfectly solve all the problems, so that the surrounding strong enemies dare not act rashly.
Now in this situation, Wang Baobao did not come to participate, Emperor Xuanguang temporarily canceled, Xiao Han knew that the criticism of the Northern Yuan Dynasty would definitely not be less, and it could even be said to be turbulent.
I have seen it as bait, but I have never heard of it if I directly roasted myself on the fire and used it as bait.
"Let's go, follow me to Kunning Palace."
Xiao Han pondered for a moment and waved his hand, seeing that it was not too early, he planned to go to Kunning Palace.
I don't know what Lao Zhu wants to say when he goes to Kunning Palace this time, according to Xiao Han's understanding of Lao Zhu, every time Kunning Palace holds a banquet, there will always be some purpose.
For example, Xu Da's roast goose, every time I eat it, I always lose something.
It stands to reason that now that Daming is thriving, Lao Zhu should have nothing to say.
In particular, this is still with himself and Zhu Biao.
Probably, Lao Zhu may have some micro-words about the national policy implemented by Xiao Han and Zhu Biao.
I remember the last time Xiao Han proposed the Ming economic development model to Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao explained to Lao Zhu, and it took a lot of effort, and in the end, Xiao Han personally took action to make Lao Zhu completely understand.
It was late summer and August, and the autumn breeze was slightly rising, and it could not blow away the impetuousness of summer.
Xiao Han rode the chariot of the British Mansion all the way to Kunning Palace.
"Fengxue, you're still here early."
A call sounded from behind, Xiao Han turned around to look, and saw Zhu Biao riding the prince's chariot to Kunning Palace, smiling at himself.
"Huh?"
"You're late today."
"Ming Dynasty politics have been a lot lately?"
Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.
"Not really."
"The construction of the Northeast and the military camps of the Three Mountains of the Ryukyus, I have to personally see it."
"With these twists and turns, my eyes are going to be calloused."
Zhu Biao rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly.
"So many twists and turns?"
Xiao Han was slightly surprised.
"Who's to say it isn't."
"This group of waste magistrates, I don't know how many farmers are divided into a piece of land, I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing, I must write an excerpt to the court, but it seems that they are honest and honest, and there is no corruption at all."
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
He is really annoyed, many of these excerpts he approved are "improvisation, make your own decisions." ”
It's not that Zhu Biao is lazy, but the local situation, and Zhu Biao can't deliberately check the news of Jinyiwei and analyze it carefully.
These officials wrote excerpts to the imperial court, in fact, in order to be able to ask for the power of the master.
In fact, this group of goods already has a plan in their hearts, that is, they specifically ask for a license.
"Then you directly issue a holy decree in the court, announcing that in the future, the magistrate will handle this kind of matter by himself."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"You think I don't want to."
"But the national policy set by my father at the beginning was not to give too much power to the magistrates."
"Even if you send it over, our Daming will approve it easily, and you have to send it, if I give it to our father, our father will probably be unhappy."
Zhu Biao sighed lightly.
"But if you go on like this, you won't be exhausted to death?"
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, and he completely understood what happened to this guy in history, he was purely tired of dying in the government.
"It can't be helped."
"Dad doesn't trust that group of scholars, and the status of the poor families, civilians, and even businessmen we promoted is not enough."
"If I want them to help, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
"You should tell your dad about this."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"Don't."
"With my father's character, if I tell my father that this is too tiring, my father will probably take the performance and judge it himself."
"Instead of bothering Dad, it's better for me to come."
Zhu Biao shook his head.
Xiao Han: ...
The two entered Kunning Palace, only to see that at this time, the palace maid of Kunning Palace had already begun to set dishes on the table.
It's a little late.
"You two stinky boys are a little late today."
"Let's wait for a while."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xiao Han and Zhu Biao and scolded with a smile.
"Ahem!"
"Dad, the state is busy, and I'm late."
Zhu Biao coughed lightly.
"Humph!"
"How busy can it be?"
"How much state affairs do we have in Daming, Lao Tzu doesn't know?"
"Wind and snow, where are you kid?"
"Why are you here so late?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"This... I listened to some news and laid out the layout for our Daming. ”
"Dad, you know, the prince handles tactics, and I'm in charge of the copper stinky strategy."
Xiao Han smiled.
Between words.
The dishes have been served, and Queen Ma has also rushed over from the back kitchen.
"Strategy, speaking of strategy, it just so happens that we have something to say today."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it, and saw that Queen Ma, Zhu Biao and Chang Qingyun, Xiao Han and Chang Qingling, and Xu Miaoyun were already seated, and spoke.
"Daddy, you say."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We've been looking at your two boys' strategy for a while."
"I feel like you, you two boys, this is to spread the prestige of our Ming Dynasty through commerce, yes or no?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and asked.
