At the end of April, with the news that Zhou Ding had brought the promotion of military attachés from various departments of the Bohai Navy, Zhu Gaoxu also recalled the promoted military attaches to Jilin City.

Back in Jilin City, whether it was Lin Su or Fu Rang, they all sighed at the brand-new Jilin City.

Compared to last year, the new city is more than three times larger, and the city walls have been lengthened and thickened, and they are all built with rammed earth inside and concrete outside, so they are very strong.

In the city, although the concrete paved road is not as beautiful as the green bricks, it is much better than the rammed earth road of the year.

Fifty-two houses were scattered, and the people who came and went from the streets were neatly dressed, not like they used to be, and their bodies were stained with mud.

Drains, sewers, fire ducts, fire walls, public toilets......

These people's livelihood facilities for the benefit of the people have been built perfectly, and the 52 people's squares and the two official squares and military squares on the left and right are even more neat and abnormal, and the construction is extremely firm.

Most of the houses in the workshop are made of bricks and concrete from brick kilns, which are beautiful and functional.

The people in the city, regardless of the number of people in the family, are built on the model of the quadrangle courtyard with two entrances and exits per household, covering an area of four points, with a main house, two ear rooms, two wing rooms, and four front and back of the inverted seat room.

One of the inverted houses is used for firewood, one is used as a kitchen, one is used as a latrine, and six empty houses can be made, even if one person can meet a family of six, and if there are more, more than a dozen people can live.

Such a courtyard, placed in the south, cannot be repaired without twenty guan, but in Jilin City, it is built and distributed for free.

The people's houses are so 'luxurious', not to mention Zhu Gaoxu, who is the king of Bohai.

According to the regulations given by Lao Zhu, Zhu Gaoxu's Bohai Mansion is 46 zhang wide from east to west, 62 zhang long from north to south, with four gatehouses, a transport hall, a kitchen and a warehouse, a rice warehouse, 56 halls and corridors, and 260 houses.

In addition, the original design of the palace also included defensive military facilities such as the city wall and the moat, but Zhu Gaoxu did not let people build it, because he did not want to create an atmosphere of isolation from the people of Jilin, so he only asked people to build the palace courtyard wall with a height of one foot and three feet and a width of one foot.

Except for the moat and city walls, Zhu Gaoxu did not interfere with other regulations.

The layout of the palace such as the Carrier Palace, the Cunxin Palace, the Front Bedroom Palace and the Back Bedroom Palace, as well as the Shizi Mansion, the Shanchuan Altar, the Sheji Altar, the Lu Rice Warehouse, the Treasury, the Horse Stable, the Family Temple, and the East and West Three Houses are all built in accordance with the regulations, and the only difference is that the way of construction is different.

Zhu Gaoxu liked the kind of eaves that extended outward in the Han and Tang dynasties, although the craftsmen who built the palace told him that the eaves were because the walls and columns in the Han and Tang dynasties were not waterproof, and in order to prevent the walls and columns from being eroded by rainwater, the extension means were made now, and now the brick walls are no longer needed, but Zhu Gaoxu still asked the craftsmen to extend the eaves outward as much as possible.

After this design, the architecture of the Bohai Royal Mansion looks almost more atmospheric than the Prince's Mansion.

"That's the way it is, so I'm going to go ahead of time to go to Kulawin."

In the two-acre carrying hall, Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne on the high platform and told the more than 100 military attachés seated on the left and right in the hall about their promotion.

After getting the news, more than 100 military attachés who tried more than 100 households were silent, and Fu Rang and Lin Su, who had returned, also frowned secretly.

Fu Rang said that Lin Su had gone through so many things, and he was much calmer than when he was in Nanjing City.

In the past, when he heard this kind of thing, he would definitely blurt out it like Zhang Chun, but now he is weighing.

He wanted to be promoted, but he didn't want to leave Zhu Gaoxu.

He knows very well that his promotion is not because of how strong his ability is, but because he is with the right person.

Now that he has left Zhu Gaoxu and run to Kaiping, can he still climb up?

"It's good to go out, you don't need to be so burdened, it's harder to go out than here, after all, after you go out, you have to bring a much larger team than now."

Zhu Gaoxu comforted everyone, and at the same time said: "On the side of Zhaozhou City, I am going to let Wang Yi take over, and Andong City will be handed over to Chen Chang. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes looked at Wang Yi, who was sitting in the third place on the left, and Chen Chang, who was sitting in the seventh place on the right.

Both of them were originally a hundred households, but now Wang Yi has become a commander, Meng Zhang has become a commander, and Chen Chang has also become another commander in Jilin City.

Chen Chang is the elder brother of a hundred households, and he is a taciturn person, but Zhu Gaoxu can be sure that he is not Jinyiwei, because Chen Chang is one of the few people who went north with his family, and he also married a wife and had children in Jilin City.

Before going north, he was just an ordinary soldier of the hundred households, but now he has become a commander.

He doesn't talk much, but whatever Zhu Gaoxu says, he does whatever he does, and he can do it very well.

As Lin Su thought, he is not the most capable person, just talking about Chen Chang, his ability to lead troops is above Lin Su, but if the two are compared, Chen Chang suffers a young loss.

He was seven years younger than Lin Su, and now he was just twenty-one, but this was not a problem in the Bohai Navy.

Most of the soldiers in the Bohai Navy are in their early twenties, and even the generals are generally between twenty-five and forty.

A 36-year-old general like Wang Yi is already considered an 'old antique' in the Bohai Navy.

"Your Highness, Meng Zhang is gone, who will hand over the three fields?"

Yishaha, who was sitting at the top of the left, looked up and asked, and Zhu Gaoxu also looked at the person at the back of the position.

"Cui Jun!"

"In!" Suddenly hearing Zhu Gaoxu call his name, the twenty-year-old Cui Jun subconsciously stood up.

When he realized that it was Zhu Gaochu calling him, he immediately made a move, and Zhu Gaochu also looked at him and smiled: "Coal yard, iron yard and lime yard, I am going to let Cui Jun take care of it with soldiers." ”

"Your Highness, this ......"

Yisha looked at Cui Jun and frowned slightly, he knew the secret of the three games very well, so he was more inclined to the old brother of the hundred households than Cui Jun who came from other guards.

As if seeing Yisha's worries, Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "Cui Jun is also an old brother who came all the way from Nanjing, although he is young, he has fought Xiyang Ha with me, and he has also fought Hara Wu with me out of the city. ”

"He'll be in charge of three games, I'm relieved."

"Yes......" Seeing that Zhu Gaochu said this, Yizha was no longer entangled, but secretly grew some eyes, and wanted to guard this home for Zhu Gaoxu.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Zhu Gaoxu also looked at Fu Rang: "Fu Rang, you have been promoted to the highest official position this time, and you are also serving in the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, I will have to rely on you in the future." ”

"Don't dare to ......," Fu Rang responded with a false courtesy.

If someone else said this, Fu Rang would only think that others were ridiculing him, but if Zhu Gaoxu said it, then he would have to think about it carefully.

Since he came to Jilin City, he led the troops to fight not to mention it for the time being, just handling the opening of Andong City and the construction of Zhaozhou City, which made him improve a lot of experience.

As a few of Zhu Gaoxu's cronies, he knows very well what Jilin City relies on to make a living, and he knows even more that Zhu Gaochu has always asked Yang Bin to transport grain.

Going to the Liaodong Capital Division by himself is indeed beneficial to Jilin City, but with his own identity, after going to the Liaodong Capital Division, I am afraid that he will be watched by the people in the south, and he must be careful in everything he does.

"Lin Su, you go to Kaiping, that's where my father is temperate, you can just learn something from my father."

Zhu Gaoxu mentioned Lin Su, who had not spoken, but for his words, Lin Su, who had talked to everyone in the past, only responded.

Everyone could see that Lin Su was not happy, but he did not choose to take the lead in making trouble, but stayed quietly in his position.

This is already a big improvement for him.

"Brothers who are going to the south, need not worry, I have written my epistle for you in these days, and it may not be of any use, but it is a consolation."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the more than 100 military attaches in the hall, stood up with a smile, and everyone also stood up when they saw this.

"Come on! Good wine and meat are entertained and eaten, but before eating, I will say that in the next few months, I will take over the things at hand, and even if I have to leave, I must leave a camp without mistakes! ”

"The last general commands!!"

Zhu Gaoxu explained, and everyone responded with a loud voice, and the sound rushed out of the Wuying Hall and shook away the birds on the eaves.

In a short time, dozens of large tables were carried into the temple, and the square in front of the carrying hall was also filled with tables.

The soldiers in the city were informed that they should eat mutton in the palace today, but they were not allowed to drink alcohol.

Soon, except for the soldiers on duty who needed to wait for the shift change, the rest of the people poured into the palace.

The Ten acres of Carrier Hall Square is enough to accommodate five or six thousand people, and less than two thousand soldiers come to eat, which is simply a small meaning for the square.

In order to cope with this kind of scene, Zhu Gaoxu had his chefs recruit dozens of apprentices as early as last year.

Although their skills are average, they are sufficient for this kind of feast.

What's more, after the ingredients they needed were brought into the palace, they were quickly dealt with by the leaders of the army, and they only needed to stir-fry the vegetables.

But Rao is like this, and the spatulas of the chef in the dining room are about to fly.

Nearly 2,000 civil and military officials gathered in the outer court, hundreds of pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and in addition, hundreds of chickens and ducks were also captured in the chicken and duck coops in Beiwan outside the city.

At this banquet, the table was almost full of meat, and the soldiers ate with their mouths full of oil, but Zhu Gaoxu almost didn't eat anything at this meal, and went to replace the wine with tea next to each table.

After a feast, he didn't eat a few bites of mutton, but drank about 200 cups of tea, and ran to the thatched house three times halfway.

After a full meal, many soldiers spontaneously began to clean up.

When the sky turned dark, the square of the carrier hall not only did not become dirty, but it was cleaner than before the banquet.

In the evening breeze, Zhu Gaoxu sat on the steps in front of the carrier hall, looking down at the already empty square in front of him.

At the same moment, footsteps came from behind him, and a figure sat beside him.

"Your Highness......"

Lin Su looked at the dark square, and after a long silence, he said, "The last general doesn't want to leave." ”

His words were flat, but his struggles could be heard.

The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth rose, but his words were very realistic: "The way of the world is not to see if we want to, but to see if we can or not." ”

"You should know that the court doesn't want you to follow me all the time, so it's easy to get big."

He said this, but Lin Su was worried: "If we leave, how many of the people who stay are sincere to His Highness?" ”

Obviously, Lin Su and the others all know that the imperial court has already begun to mix sand with the Bohai Navy, and maybe most of the people left behind this time are sand.

Regarding Lin Su's words, Zhu Gaoxu gradually put away his smile and said, "You and I both know, but you and I can't help it, because we are not in charge of this world." ”

"If they want to mix sand, I treat my sincerity with sincerity, if I am disappointed, it is helpless."

Although Zhu Gaoxu said this to Lin Su, he knew better than anyone what his true "sincerity" was.

Not unconditional trust, but a deep binding of interests.

Zhu Gaoxu can not use many resources, but he can hand over all the limited resources in his hands to the people who follow him, which the imperial court does not have.

Take Tuntian as an example, Jilin City opened 300,000 mu, and Zhu Gaoxu did not leave a single mu in the palace account, and all the money was distributed to the people and soldiers.

If it is just celibacy, it is indeed difficult to impress these soldiers with three or four acres a year, but what if it drags the family with the mouth?

Every year, more than ten acres of cultivated land are handed over to the hands, and who can not be moved by such interests.

The imperial court is rich, but they will not be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on an ordinary soldier, and Zhu Gaoxu dares, this is his confidence.

He is still there, and the people of Najilin City will have arable land in their accounts every year, and he is gone, not to mention that there will be no arable land in the future, and the existing farmland ownership alone is enough for them to make trouble.

Zhu Gaoxu did not think that the group of people in the south would be willing to give hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land to the people, because once this opening was opened, other guards would follow suit and the system would be destroyed, which they could not afford.

The system and interests determine everything, and Zhu Gaoxu's position in Jilin City, even if Lao Zhu comes in person, it will be difficult to shake him without using force.

Sincerity for sincerity is just rhetoric, and interests are involved......

"Before I knew it, I had become such a hypocrite too."

Zhu Gaoxu was gloomy, but Lin Su was convinced in the face of this set of rhetoric.

"Your Highness, rest assured, if the last general has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay you."

Lin Su said this solemnly, and Zhu Gaoxu also patted him on the back: "Go back and rest early, and return to Andong City with Chen Chang tomorrow to hand over the matters at hand." ”

"Then the end will be gone...... Lin Su reluctantly got up, and under Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, he turned around and left the county king's mansion step by step.

But a moment after he left, he came on patrol.

When he came to Zhu Gaoxu's side, he also looked around: "Your Highness, Lin Su didn't come?" ”

"He's just gone." Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, and at the same time looked up at Yishuha, and said curiously:

"Looking at their promotion and transfer one by one, have you ever been envious?"

"It's false to say that you don't envy you......" Yisha sat down with a wry smile, but after sitting down, he sighed and said: "But seeing them leave, the slave maid is still a little happy in her heart." ”

"At least the slave is the eunuch of the palace, and others dare not ask for it, so they can be with His Highness for a lifetime."

"There's some ambiguity in what you're saying." Zhu Gaoxu looked strange, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "When the princess hears it, I'm afraid she will suspect Her Highness." ”

"You ...... what you say" This time it was Zhu Gaoxu's turn to be helpless.

But to be honest, after coming to Daming for a few years, he also had a bad time, but he didn't have the courage to go to the sixteenth floor when he was in Nanjing, and he didn't meet his eyes when he arrived in Jilin City.

finally waited for Guo Yan to come, but Guo Yan's age was too young, so Zhu Gaoxu endured it all the time.

He is also a human being, and sometimes he also wants to find someone to scatter wild, but the resources of Jilin City are not very good, and he can't find a good one if he wants to spread wild.

"You've finished planting all the rice, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu got down to business, and Yizha also put away his smile and nodded: "Last year's rice seeds, after screening, seedlings were raised, and this time 26,427 acres of rice were planted. ”

"Except for these fields, which are used as rice paddies, the rest of the fields are planted with beans and wheat according to the rules."

"Tomorrow we can open up wasteland, and according to this year's animal power, at least 300,000 acres of river beach land can be opened."

"However, after the development is completed this year, the river beach in Zhongwan will be completed, and it is estimated that the river beach in North Bay will have to be opened up next year."

"Although the North Bay is vast, most of it is shrub and swamp, and it may take decades to open up millions of acres of river flats."

"Therefore, the slave maid wants to open up dry land in the hills west of Jixi Fort."

The river flats in Jilin City are limited, and the ones that can be reclaimed for rice fields are even more limited, so Zhu Gaoxu did not think that Jilin City could grow all rice.

Compared with the situation in North Bay, it is more cost-effective to open up the hills to the west of Hadarling.

However, there is also a problem with opening up the hills over there, that is, this place is a flat river, except for the mountain passes more than 100 miles to the north and more than 300 miles to the south, there is almost no danger to defend.

Previously, the number of Bohai Navy was small, and Zhu Gaoxu naturally would not consider reclaiming to the west, but now that the strength of the Bohai Navy is expanding, there will be 2,000 military households going north to join them before winter.

With such power, it would be good if Zhu Gaoxu didn't go to others for trouble, and no one dared to trouble him at all.

The only one who has the ability to trouble him, Harawu, was chased by Zhu Di for hundreds of miles, and now he is hiding in Wuliang Ha Bald City licking his wounds, and he has no time to look east.

What's more, after a few days, I cleaned up Ataiwailan, and the next one to clean up was Haragu, so there was no obstacle to reclaiming wasteland to the west.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Gaoxu also said to Yishiha: "Before winter, you take people to the west to choose a piece of land and build a town." ”

"If we don't sell grain this year, many tribes will not be able to survive and come to us."

"You first divide the two thousand households from the south into three, one in that town, and the other two in Andong City and Kulawin after the battle."

Before the troops were dispatched, he had already begun to plan the city, which was not Zhu Gaoxu's arrogance, but a clear understanding of himself.

Most of the armor soldiers of Xiyang Habu were captured and destroyed in the battle of Daheisheng, but if Atai Wailan had the strength to counterattack, he would not hide until now.

When Khalagu entered the Kou, it was the best time for Ataiwailan to seize Andong City.

If he misses it, there will be no chance.

"This time I will go on the expedition, I should not come back in the middle, you calculate the time, go to Zhaozhou City to prepare food and horses, and when I come back, I will directly take a boat all the way north to patrol the border."

"Arrows and armor weapons, as long as I don't open my mouth, don't stop, continue to build."

Zhu Gaoxu is preparing for the future, he wants to fight with the Liaodong Dusi, and there must be enough soldiers.

There are more than 40,000 soldiers in the Liaodong Prefecture, and excluding the defensive, at least 30,000 can be pulled out to fight with him in the wilderness.

What does it mean to defeat the Liaodong Dusi, there is no need to go into too much detail, and now I only need to go step by step.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and walked towards the harem.

Yisha watched him walk towards the harem, but he didn't follow, but just motioned to the two pure soldiers who followed him to follow Zhu Gaoxu.

Soon after, he left the palace and returned to his courtyard.

As for Zhu Gaoxu, he returned to the former dormitory, and met Guo Yan who was reading "Di Bao" at night.

"You're back?"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu enter the house, Guo Yan put down the newspaper in his hand, and the two maidservants also stepped forward to untie his clothes.

Because the palace was too big, Guo Yan recruited twenty fifteen or sixteen-year-old maidservants in the city, so when someone untied Zhu Gaoxu's wide clothes, other maidservants had already rushed up with toiletries.

Zhu Gaoxu, who took off his clothes, sat on a chair and watched the maidservants take off his shoes and wash his feet, wash his face and brush his teeth.

After a word, after doing everything, he pulled off the wooden hairpin on his head, set his eyes on Guo Yan, and then moved to the "Di Bao".

"Done it all?" Zhu Gaoxu asked, Guo Yan nodded: "I've watched it for the second time." ”

Her face was a little not good, Zhu Gaoxu thought that she was worried about Guo Ying's going to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion, so he comforted: "Grandpa went to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion, this time with the Marquis of Changxing, it is estimated that it will not take long to end the counterinsurgency." ”

"The concubine is not worried about this." Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's comforting words, Guo Yan laughed out loud and put it on the "Di Bao" with one hand.

"The concubine took a look, this time the matter in the south just started to make trouble, and now there is no result, so I am a little worried."

Guo Yan is worried that this time the North-South List case will involve the old Xun of Huaixi, after all, the previous major cases basically involved the old Xun of Huaixi.

However, Zhu Gaoxu, who is familiar with this history, comforted: "Maybe the old case will be involved, but it will not involve the surviving lords, you can rest assured." ”

"That being said...... Guo Yan was a little worried, and after groaning, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu and asked:

"Your Highness, why did Your Majesty not punish the officials involved in the first place this time?"

Guo Yan asked Zhu Gaoxu about things she didn't understand, because she felt that her Royal Highness seemed to understand everything.

Regarding her question, Zhu Gaoxu also thought about the results of the north-south list case in history, and then thought of the situation that Lao Zhu in Nanjing might face.

seemed to think of Lao Zhu's predicament, so Zhu Gaoxu leaned back on the chair, looked at the ceiling of the former dormitory, and said in a complicated mood: "I'm afraid this case will disappoint some people......
