Time passed, and the enthusiasm of the people of Jilin City for the academy was even higher than Zhu Gaoxu thought.

The two colleges, which were originally expected to be completed by March 20, were completed on March 16 alone.

Due to the early completion of the project, and the southern team had not yet arrived in Jilin City, Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhang Chun to lead the people to renovate some roads in Jilin City.

Previously, the roads in Jilin City were all dirt roads, and only Zhu Gaoxu's Bohai Palace's palace was built with river stones.

Because the workload was too large, Zhu Gaoxu just asked Zhang Chun to lead the people to fill and repair some potholes on the dirt road, and as for the actual repair, he was going to wait for the stonemasons in the city to find the limestone before overhauling it.

At present, Jilin City is too simple, although all kinds of regulations are planned according to the 5,600 guards and military forts, but because there are not so many military households stationed in the follow-up, it leads to the construction of various follow-up projects in time.

Projects such as the thickening of the city walls and the drainage of the city were only half done, and the quality was extremely poor.

Zhu Gaoxu planned to wait until he found limestone and iron ore, and then renovate the entire Jilin City after building a cement yard.

He was still waiting to carry out the drainage and city walls of the city, as well as the construction of houses, the widening of roads, the fire walls and tunnels, and the digging of wells.

Although Zhu Gaoxu will not stay in Jilin City for the rest of his life, Jilin City will inevitably become several major political and military centers in Northeast China in the future.

Although there is no cold-tolerant rice, crops such as wheat and corn can still be cultivated in the Northeast.

After coming to Jilin City, as the snow melted, Zhu Gaoxu also observed the cultivated fields outside the city.

In his observation, although the land in Jilin Bay is very fertile, the canals in the fields are all ravines dug out with hoes.

These ravines are not drained in time during the Songhua River or during the rainy season, resulting in waterlogging of crops.

It can be said that although Jilin Bay has been developed by the Ming army for seven years, due to the small number of military households, there is no perfect water conservancy facility like that in Jiangnan.

You must know that during the Jurchen period of the Jin Kingdom, along with the vigorous construction of water conservancy facilities in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins of the Jin Kingdom, Shangjing, Puhe and other roads could collect more than 205,000 stone of tax every year, and the expenditure was only more than 66,000 stone, and there were more than 100,000 stone of grain that could be freely distributed.

In order to transport these grains abroad, Jin Guo set up the Cao Yun Division in Zhaozhou, and continuously transported grain to Hebei in the later period of Jin Shizong, which can be said to be a veritable granary.

This is just tax grain, if the tax rate is reversed, Huining Road at that time could fully feed hundreds of thousands of people.

Water conservancy construction is the top priority of agriculture, and Sichuan can continue to be the land of abundance for 1,600 years, mainly because Li Bing and his son built hundreds of weirs and canals in Sichuan.

Later, in the "Zhuge Zhishu", every river and every weir pond in Sichuan has made clear dredging standards and dredging time.

After Zhuge Liang, all Sichuan officials took office, and they needed to be desilted in time according to his standards, so that the Yantang River Canal in the period of Li Bing and Zhuge Liang could be preserved and used for more than a thousand years.

Zhu Gaoxu does not have the ability to control water as Li Bing's father and son and Zhuge Liang, but how to drain water and how to restrain water, these things he still learned a lot in his previous life unit.

He traveled all over the three rivers and bays in Jilin in this era, measured these three river bays, and then took Zhang Chun and the men in Jilin City to start planning canals and weir ponds.

In such a plan, the stonemason, who had been away for more than ten days, also returned with news.

Thirty miles southwest of Jilin City, the stonemasons found a sufficient amount of limestone mines, twenty-six miles to the east of the small coal mine, and sixty miles to the southeast of the small open-pit iron mine that could be mined.

Although he is not familiar with many things, he still remembers his old profession and information very clearly.

Cement uses limestone, clay, iron ore powder, and coal as the main raw materials, and the ratio of cement raw materials is determined according to the actual situation, and it is not the same.

However, based on Zhu Gaoxu's current situation, the approximate ratio of 7.5:1.5:1.5:8.5 is enough.

Of course, even if the ratio is correct, if you want to achieve the strength of cement in later generations, you must use various machinery to match it.

Zhu Gaoxu did not have these machines, he only had the most primitive stone mills, so the strength of the cement he produced was certainly not as strong as the cement of later generations, and it may not even be compared with the cement of the nineteenth century.

However, for this era, his cement was enough to use.

After finding out the location of the cement raw materials, Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the fact that there was still half a month to spring ploughing, and took the opportunity to select 600 men from the guards and divided them into three teams to go to these three places to establish camps.

After the camp was established, they only needed to wait for the follow-up horses to arrive in Jilin City, and then go to the camp to escort the raw materials to follow back.

Jilin City is short of manpower, so Zhu Gaoxu can only periodically search for raw materials, and then bring the raw materials back to Jilin City to produce cement little by little.

By the time Xiyangha is defeated, he will have enough people to use.

In such expectations, the time also came to the sixth day of the fourth month little by little.

In Zhu Gaoxu's anticipation, Fu Rang finally appeared in Jixi Fort with a team of black pressure.

"Your Highness! Commander Fu has arrived! ”

Outside a mill outside Jilin City, when Yisha came on horseback to report the good news to Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaoxu, who was wearing a simple mask and popularizing the knowledge of pneumoconiosis to women, also turned his head and took off his mask.

"Fu Rang is here?" There was surprise on his face, and he nodded excitedly:

"Here, I have arrived at Jixi Fort half an hour ago, and it is estimated that I will be able to reach Jilin City in another half an hour!"

"Let's go! We're going to pick them up. After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu put the mask in his arms, and then said to the thirty women in front of him:

"Remember to wear this mask no matter how uncomfortable it is, change people if you can't stand it, don't be reckless, don't joke with your life."

After that, Zhu Gaoxu went to the side of the mill, untied the reins of the red horse that was eating beans, turned over and galloped towards Jixi Fort with Yishiha.

After he was gone, the women also began to fence the mill with already cut stakes.

However, Zhu Gaoxu and Yishiha galloped all the way, and it only took a quarter of an hour to see the team like a long snake in front of them.

Originally, the two of them were very happy, but as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the smiles on their faces stiffened unconsciously.

In their eyes, the size of the team was much smaller than when they set out from Nanjing, and this doubt was answered by Fu Rang, who rode out a moment later.

Fu Rang rode a Qin horse to the two of them, and both sides reined in their horses.

Facing Zhu Gaoxu, Fu Rang's face showed a little guilt: "I think you must have seen that when this team arrived in Dengzhou, there were eight households that would not leave......"

"When we were about to leave, there were sixteen more families to leave."

"According to your previous arrangement, I have returned them all, and this team has lost twenty-four households and one hundred and fifteen people at once."

"Helpless, I can only recruit twenty-four young men to join the army in Dengzhou, but fortunately, no one will go again along the way."

Fu Rang's words made Zhu Gaoxu not know whether to be happy or sad.

He should have happily walked more than a hundred mouths to eat, saving nearly a thousand stone of grain.

But he should be sad that there are more than 100 people missing, which may delay his development of Jilin.

It's just that these various moods come to the lips, but they only become: "It's hard work." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said this, and Fu Rang also looked at Jilin City in the distance.

I have to say that the appearance and scale of Jilin City are still very intimidating, and it also greatly comforts the 600 guards and 300 craftsmen, 22 officials, and more than 600 dependents who went north with Fu Rang's wind and dust.

"The yard is all built, rest assured." Zhu Gaoxu appeased Fu Rang, turned his head and said to Yi Rang: "You take someone to arrange for the brothers to stay, and I will talk to Fu Rang." ”

The "slave maid received the order...... "also lost Ha responded, and then took over the team and led them to Jilin City in the distance.

Zhu Gaoxu and Fu Rang rode their horses to the side of the road and watched the passing procession.

During this period, many brothers from hundreds of households who were familiar with Zhu Gaoxu greeted him, and Zhu Gaoxu also smiled and waved in response.

After they were all gone, Fu Rang spoke: "The King of Qin is gone, the Marquis of Yongping is given to death, and the Duke of Song is ......also killed."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Gaoxu instantly looked at him, his face full of incredulity.

He was not surprised that Qin King Zhu Fan died, but that Feng Sheng actually passed away.

In an instant, Feng Sheng's face flashed in his mind, and Fu Rang continued: "I also received the news when I rushed to Tieling in the middle of the month, this is the report of the Yamen. ”

Fu Rang took out a wrinkled newspaper from the package on the side of the saddle, and Zhu Gaoxu took it and looked through it, but did not speak for a long time.

Did he change history?

changed, whether it was Fu Youde or Feng Sheng, or Wang Bi or Xie Cheng...... They all lived a few months longer than in history, but they all ended up dying without exception.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know whether this was history being corrected, or whether Lao Zhu insisted on letting them die.

He believes in the latter more than the former, because he doesn't want to end up being cooked alive by Zhu Zhanji.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath: "Have the grain and iron of the Liaodong Dusi set off?" ”

"When we came, the soldiers of Kaiyuan had already begun to prepare food, and it is estimated that we will be there a few days later."

Fu Rang explained, and Zhu Gaoxu also talked about the situation in the month since he arrived in Jilin City, and talked about the situation around Jilin.

When he heard that Zhu Gaochu had found a coal mine and an iron mine, Fu Rang was not surprised, after all, Zhu Gaoxu's ability to 'see mountains and mines' was known to everyone in the world.

What surprised him was that Zhu Gaoxu actually did business with the Jurchens in order to make money.

Although this is nothing compared to his uncles, this is smuggling after all, and it is a practice that is expressly forbidden by the imperial court.

However, Fu Rang is not a stunned young man who has just entered his career, he knows very well that with the current situation, Zhu Gaoxu can only smuggle if he wants to develop.

"When are you going to send troops to deal with Xiyangha?"

Fu Rang asked Zhu Gaoxu on horseback, and Zhu Gaochu also muttered: "I said to the people in the fort that after the autumn harvest, but I specifically want to take the initiative to send troops before the autumn harvest, or seize Xiyang Han to attack Jilin City in the south, we will make a detour to attack his rear." ”

"You're going to be the last one." Fu Rang uncovered the mystery of Zhu Gaoxu, and he knew better than anyone that Zhu Gaoxu's nature was actually risk-taking.

It's just that this nature was suppressed by him when he was in Nanjing City, and when he entered Jilin, he was completely released by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Hehe......" Zhu Gaoxu chuckled: "You and the old man have not learned anything else, but you have learned to understand this point from me, but how to fight the old slave of Xiyang Ha depends on how the old slave is prepared to deal with us." ”

He mentioned Fu Youde again, but Fu Rang no longer had the uncomfortable emotion of mentioning Fu Youde before, and he said through Zhu Gaoxu's words:

"My eldest brother and I wrote to persuade my second brother to them, but they have no idea of Zhishi, I hope you will use them in the future......"

Fu Rang's words were slightly meaningful, but Zhu Gaoxu squinted: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"My dad knows better than I do, he said it." Fu Rang chuckled, but his words made Zhu Gaoxu silent.

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to speak, Fu Rang turned a chuckle into a wry smile: "Although my father said it, I don't think you should be so stupid......"

He looked up at Jilin City, which was getting closer and closer in front of him, and sighed: "With this little capital, even if you add my second brother and them, I'm afraid it's just a flat boat in the sea, and it can sink at any time......"

Fu Rang didn't think that Zhu Gaochu could do anything with Jilin City, let alone what Zhu Gaochu would do.

The current Zhu Gaoxu is too weak compared with the brilliant Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxu did not refute, but changed the topic and told Fu Rang about his military training.

"A little bit, I'll give you a copy of the "Practical Exercises in Training" I wrote, you train according to the above methods, and all the soldiers go to the academy to study every morning, and practice in the afternoon."

"Reading?" When Fu Rang heard that Zhu Gaoxu wanted the soldiers to study, Rao couldn't help but feel that the investment was too big.

Naturally, he saw the 3,000 sets of paper, pen, inkstone and ink that Zhu Gaochu bought, but he originally thought that Zhu Gaochu was going to run a Confucian school in Jilin City and open it for children in the city to study.

But he didn't want Zhu Gaoxu not only to learn from children, but also from soldiers.

"Every brother in the city, I treat them as my own brothers......

Facing Fu Rang's questioning, Zhu Gaoxu looked at him directly and said, "I don't want them to come to the north with me, and they can only be big soldiers for a lifetime." ”

"What I want is that they will follow me to the end in the future, and each of them will be able to win an official position from the battlefield and shine in the court."

Somehow, when Zhu Gaoxu said this, Fu Rang couldn't see a trace of hypocrisy in his eyes, only the truth.

But it was such a real look in his eyes that couldn't help but make Fu Rang think of someone.

He looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a complicated expression, and his tone was a little wrong: "You are becoming more and more like Your Majesty......"

"I won't be him, you can watch it." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and continued to walk towards Jilin City with Fu Rang.

Looking at his figure, Fu Rang seemed to be moved by his words, and no longer doubted anything.

Soon, the two followed the northbound team into Jilin City.

Under the arrangement of Yishaha, the team quickly moved into the small courtyards built by Yishaha these days.

These small courtyards are actually very simple, there are not even courtyard walls, only rows of fences, but they are wide.

For these brothers who returned to the north, Zhu Gaoxu gave them enough treatment, although there was only one simple house in each courtyard, but the yard was encircled by a full acre.

When they were arranged to move in by Yisha, Zhu Gaoxu also returned to the palace with Fu Rang, and asked people to call Zhang Chun and Lin Su.

During this period, Fu Rang also joked that Zhu Gaoxu's palace was not as big as some commanders in the south, but in the face of his ridicule, Zhu Gaochu said: "I am a lonely person, it is enough to live so big, I didn't even let you build your yard, you live with me." ”

"You ......" Hearing that he didn't even deserve a yard, Fu Rangqi's teeth itched.

Fortunately, Zhang Chun and Lin Su came in time, and Zhu Gaoxu told Fu Rang about Lin Su, who had changed his name, and Zhang Chun, who was small but capable.

For the two, Fu Rang believed in Zhu Gaoxu's vision, he did not question it, but looked at Zhu Gaoxu's "Practical Operation" with the two.

Since the arquebus had not yet begun to be studied, Zhu Gaoxu's main attack was the war arrangement of cold weapons, and the training was also selected by Feng Sheng himself.

"This method is what Song Guogong said, it is the training method of our army's spear army during the Zhizheng period, I have added some of my views to it, but there will be no problem."

Zhu Gaoxu said while discussing his book "Practical Exercises in Military Training" with Fu Rang.

In the training of later generations, there were ten basic trainings, including long-distance running, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, pull-ups, frog jumps, weight-bearing punching, armed cross-country, mountain rushing, and individual basic tactical action training.

Among them, Zhu Gaoxu retained part of it and cut part of it.

Although the long-distance running is aerobic, Zhu Gaoxu still retains it, because he always remembers what Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Li.

The Ming infantry was able to drive the Mongol cavalry back to Mobei, not by forming a formation to protect themselves, but by counterattacking the Mongol cavalry.

Only by fighting such as the Battle of Luliang and the Battle of Caijiazhuang with less and more with the mobility of the cavalry, can Zhu Gaoxu ensure that he can defeat Xiyangha with more than 1,500 brothers under his hands.

They must move at high speed while ensuring a formation, and must not leave any flaws for any opponent, so the training of organization and endurance must be added to the training of later generations.

"If you don't have enough food for your practice, I'm afraid that the fraternity below will roar."

Fu Rang looked at Zhu Gaoxu's harsh military training method that he practiced almost every day, and only felt that this guy was even more ruthless than his father at some times.

"There is not much else in the Songhua River, and there is enough meat and food."

Zhu Gaoxu had a smile on his face, he had the Songhua River and more than a dozen boats, and now Fu asked them to bring so many supplies, they could catch hundreds of catties of fish with just a net, not to mention the sufficient amount of prey in the forest.

The land of the Northeast is rich in products, otherwise it would not be able to support hundreds of thousands of Jurchens.

The Jurchens were limited in technology and could not catch too many fish in the rivers, but Zhu Gaoxu did not have to worry.

The grain is matched with prey and fish meat, plus the beans sent by the Liaodong Dusi can be squeezed for oil, as long as the oil is sufficient, I am not afraid that they will not be able to raise them fat and strong.

Zhu Gaoxu's self-confidence was seen by Fu Rang, but he didn't feel that Zhu Gaoxu was arrogant.

After all, with the materials of a guard to raise 1,500 people, I am afraid that only Zhu Gaoxu can have such a big hand, not to mention that he emptied his palace treasury to raise soldiers.

It would be strange if you couldn't afford it.

The two talked like this, and Na Yiha was also busy with things, and walked from the outside in.

"How many furs are in the treasury?"

Seeing that Yisha was coming, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and asked.

"Six hundred and seventy-two." Yisha replied without thinking, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Fu Rang again: "How much is left of my Lu rice?" ”

"More than 18,400 stones," Fu Rang also replied subconsciously.

Knowing the amount of grain in the treasury, Zhu Gaoxu immediately explained to Yishiha and Zhang Chun:

"The grain in the treasury will first be allocated to the brothers in the army for this month, and then to the people in the city, and the rest of the grain will be transported to the city of Futijin for trade by water."

"Spring ploughing is about to begin, and with only these 300 horses and the people cultivating and cultivating the wasteland by themselves, at most 5,000 acres of mature land will be cultivated this year."

"Change more fur cattle and horses, and it is best to open 10,000 acres of wasteland this year, so that we will have less pressure in the coming year."

The departure of more than 100 people made Zhu Gaoxu have to speed up his pace, and he had to open up the land as much as possible, because after defeating Xiyangha this year, he would capture a lot of prisoners from Xiyangha.

These captives would be thrown into the lime, iron and coal mines of the present, where they would be able to produce stably and he would be able to secure the construction of firearms factories in the future.

Xiyang Ha and his seven allies will all become the nourishment for the development and growth of Jilin City.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu only felt that time was pressing.

"Your Highness, when will the academy open, many people were asking when the slave maid came just now."

After Yisha set off for Fatikin City, he also asked Zhu Gaoxu about the academy.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu also asked Yishuha: "The books are all intact, right?" ”

"Two copies were damaged, but they didn't get in the way." Fu Rang rushed to answer in advance after hearing this, and Zhu Gaoxu nodded after listening.

The 3,000 sets of books for this northern transportation were ordered by Zhu Gaoxu from the bookstore in Nanjing, and each set contained five books, including "Kuiben's Four Words and Miscellaneous Characters", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Mengqiu of the Past Dynasties", "Summary of Historiography", and "Hongwu Zhengyun".

These five books include five kinds of Mongolian textbooks, including literacy, mathematics, history, and Mandarin.

Although Zhu Gaoxu wanted to write his own books as teaching materials, he did not have his own cronies in Nanjing, and the printed books were easy to be known by Jinyiwei, but if a few books flowed into Lao Zhu's hands, then he would not think about it in his life.

Even now, Zhu Gaoxu has arrived in Jilin, he still does not dare to print books on a large scale.

"Have you brought all the engravings for movable type printing?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yishiha, and Yishiha also nodded:

"The slave has checked it, and the things you gave are exactly what you have delivered, and they have all been shipped."

"Okay, tomorrow you ask the craftsman to print four copies of this "Practical Operation" of this book, and you and Fu Rang, Zhang Chun, and Lin Su will each read it, and you will need to contribute to the training in the future."

Zhu Gaoxu said so, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to look at Fu Rang: "Have a good rest, starting tomorrow will not be as leisurely as before." ”

"Hehe......" Fu Rang smiled: "If I want to be leisurely, why come here to suffer with you." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall looked at each other and smiled.

There are a few people who can come to Jilin City with him Zhu Gaoxu who want to enjoy peace......
