"Woo-woo-"

"It's noisy!"

In the spring boudoir in August, in the Guilin Mansion, where the mountains and rivers are unique, Xie Jin, who was sitting in the yamen and dressed in official clothes, couldn't help but scold.

The sound of the horn was the sound of the army in the city assembling and training, and every day it was not good to make a noise about Xie Jin, who liked to be leisurely.

Of course, in addition to the army, the busy Guangxi political envoy Si Yamen also made him particularly unhappy.

After the generals of the southwest went to Nanjing to report on their work and discussed with Zhu Gaoxu how to quell the rebellion against the Tusi of Guangxi, the entire southwest began to operate.

The two major granaries of Sichuan and Jiaozhi continuously transported grain to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and soldiers and horses from all over the country were also transferred into Guangxi.

At present, there are as many as 120,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Guangxi, and Mu Chun and others, who are worried about the shortage of people, have also recruited 60,000 or 70,000 people from Guizhou, Jiaozhi, Yunnan, Guangdong, and Huguang to enter Guangxi.

Of course, this is not enough to maintain the army.

Because of the lack of horses in the southwest, recruiting people is the top priority of the Guangxi political envoys.

In addition, officials in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Jiaozhi have to be busy planting rubber trees.

The lifespan of rubber trees is generally 25 to 30 years, and it is usually two to three years after planting that you can start tapping, but the best time to tap is usually around six to seven years.

As one of the most important basic materials for the future Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu naturally had to arrange the sowing of rubber trees in advance, and rubber trees would also become an important income for the people in the tropical areas of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the southwestern provinces are mainly urging the Changshan prisoners of war in Jiaozhi to reclaim wasteland.

The wastelands of the plains will be reclaimed for arable land, and the wastelands of the hills and mountains will be opened up for the rubber groves of the future.

For the promotion of all kinds of new crops, Zhu Gaoxu chose the government to take the lead in farming, so that after the surrounding people saw enough economic benefits, the people would naturally rush to follow suit.

The disadvantage of this is that it is too slow, but the advantage is that it does not toss the people.

His idea was good, but it was a bit of a toss for Xie Jin.

Urging the prisoners of war of the Changshan Barbarians and the defeated army of Jiaozhi to reclaim wasteland is undoubtedly a boring and laborious task.

Xie Jin was assigned such a thing, but with his identity, he didn't need to go to the local area to inspect, he only needed to sit in the yamen and eat delicious food, and remote command was enough.

But even so, Xie Jin still felt very troublesome.

Suddenly, he stood up, and several officials who worked with him stood up one after another: "Solve the senatorship." ”

"I'm not feeling well and I'm on leave for half a month." Xie Jin spoke to everyone, and then walked out of the yamen.

Looking at his appearance, several officials looked at each other, and Xie Jin, who walked out of the yamen, happened to meet two familiar figures.

However, he was a noble man who forgot things, just glanced at it a few times, and then walked straight out.

"Isn't that Senatory?"

"Well, it's him."

Standing at the gate of the yamen, looking at Xie Jin who walked away in the carriage, Zhao Liang and Xu Shuo exchanged softly, and their eyes revealed a bit of blatant disdain.

It is now the eleventh year of Yongle, and after more than three years of assessment, Xu Shuo and Zhao Rail have been promoted.

Under Jian Yi's recommendation and Yishaha's operation, they came to Guangxi, which was regarded as more difficult, and served as the political envoy of the left senator and the prefect of Guilin.

In other words, Xu Shuo is of the same level as Xie Jin, but this is not good news.

The so-called supervising grain road is the yamen responsible for collecting land taxes, and normally it is a political and senator who is in charge of both political and senatorial affairs.

Due to the many things, it is occasionally necessary to solve the problem by the joint assistant of the left and right senators, but it is better to count on Xie Jin, it is better to let Xu Shuo count on Zhao Rail.

"Shift duty, come when you want, leave when you want...... Hum! ”

Zhao Liang snorted coldly, Xu Shuo's face was not good-looking, and he shook his head and walked into the yamen.

It has been three months since they took office, and they have helped Xie Jin wipe his ass in the past three months.

Of course, this ass is not wiped in vain, because everything Xie Jin did was played by them in the Spring and Harmony Palace.

In their opinion, Xie Jin's good days are not long in coming, and now when he makes a big mistake, he will be able to implicate a huge Jiang Zuo.

Thinking of this, the two quickened their pace, but Zhu Gaoxu, who was thousands of miles away, did not set his eyes on Xie Jin.

At this moment, he is in the "Ancient and Modern Classics Museum", admiring the "Yongle Canon" that has been thoroughly hammered.

"The catalogue alone has 67 volumes, totaling more than 23,400 volumes, more than 12,000 volumes, about 390,000 words, and 8,726 kinds of ancient and modern books such as astronomy, geography, scriptures, history, sub-collections, collections, medical skills, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, dramas, crafts, and agriculture, covering the books that have survived in the Central Plains for tens of thousands of years."

In the Museum of Ancient and Modern Classics, Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Gaoxu, who were dressed in black robes, roughly explained the situation of the "Yongle Canon".

Compared with the original "Yongle Canon" in history, the "Yongle Canon" in front of Zhu Gaoxu and them undoubtedly includes more books.

In addition to the various cultural and technical books circulating in the market, there are also new books and new content promoted by the New Deal education over the years.

Of course, what Zhu Gaoxu paid the most attention to was some of the content of his private goods.

Only the contents of the "Great Wilderness East Classic" and "Sea East Classic" in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" were entrained with about thousands of words of private goods.

It doesn't seem like much, but for the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which has a small number of words, thousands of words are enough to rewrite a history, not to mention the ancient books of the Tang and Xia Shang dynasties such as "Ancient Tang Book", "Yu Book", "Xia Book", "Shang Shu" and other ancient books of the Tang Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties summarized by Zhu Gaoxu.

He asked people to compile the historical materials of the four pre-Qin periods according to the era, and then mixed them with private goods.

The book "Book of the Ancient Tang Dynasty" alone has pushed Chinese history to the period of Emperor Yao, and further before it are the fragments of books such as "Three Tombs", "Five Classics", "Eight Suo", and "Nine Hills".

These books are all records of the historical materials of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period and some books on ghosts and gods, which are clearly recorded in the "Zuo Chuan", and even in the "Book of Han", but they have been wiped out and lost by nature and man in the long river of history.

They have been tampered with and erased by others, and Zhu Gaoxu has artificially reexposed them in this world.

The events recorded above are not much different from those recorded in the "Zuo Chuan", "Historical Records", and "Shangshu", but many small episodes will be added to the content, such as the affairs of the people of Beizhou and Dongzhou.

If this thing is done well, coupled with the contradictions between Europe and Dongzhou in the future, the Ming Dynasty can definitely comfortably make a lot of money in the trade of the Ming Ocean Triangle, and slowly assimilate the local ethnic groups through culture and commodities.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu closed the content of the "Three Tombs and Five Classics" and put the book back on the shelf.

He glanced at this place, where all the cultural treasures of the entire Huaxia since Yongle were stored, turned his back to Yao Guangxiao and asked:

"Young Master, how is the engraving of the printing made?"

"It's ready, ready to print." Yao Guangxiao stood behind Zhu Gaoxu and whispered, and then said:

"You only need to rub copies, and then have fifteen hundred craftsmen print them, and you can print twenty copies a year."

"However, according to the calculations of the officials below, it will probably cost more than 3,000 yuan to print a copy."

I have to say that the movable type printing invented by Bi Sheng is really easy to use, and the copper movable type printing avoids the error of the engraving font, that is, the difficulty of production is greater than that of wood.

"It's just more than 3,000 times."

Faced with the cost of rubbing, Zhu Gaoxu said without thinking: "Print 20 copies first, and separate them in South Beijing and the libraries of various middle schools. ”

When the words fell, Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Yao Guangxiao: "Young Master thinks, will I force my father to abdicate?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's words reversed quickly, making Yao Guangxiao a little unable to keep up.

"Does Your Highness need it?" Yao Guangxiao asked Zhu Gaoxu rhetorically, after all, he had heard from Zhu Di about the agreements reached between the two fathers and sons.

In Yao Guangxiao's view, Zhu Di is indeed reluctant to power, but if the Northern Expedition can be maintained, then Zhu Di does not need to be persistent, or even make trouble between father and son.

Zhu Di has never been ruthless with these three sons.

If the sons of other concubines dare to speak to Zhu Di in Zhu Gaoxu's tone, then even if this concubine has great ability and power, Zhu Di will find a way to uproot him.

But in the face of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di could only sigh and silently accept the ending.

Yao Guangxiao's words fell, and Zhu Gaoxu also touched his mustache and said to him: "The young master is extraordinary, and the court still needs a young master." ”

"The poor monk is too old to be used, and he only wishes to always be with the ancient Buddha of the green light." Yao Guangxiao bowed and refused Zhu Gaoxu's invitation.

This refusal was expected by Zhu Gaoxu, but he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Obviously, Yao Guangxiao is reluctant to bet on the future, after all, he has seen too many historical materials about the death of cunning rabbits and the cooking of lackeys.

Because of this, between Zhu Di and him, Yao Guangxiao did not choose anyone, but silently ate fasting and chanting Buddha in Jiming Temple.

As for the things arranged for him by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, he also did as he wanted, without any private goods.

The attitude of the old monk is very obvious, but Zhu Gaoxu, who cherishes talents, still regrets it.

"After the construction of the Dabao'en Temple is completed, the young master can move there and continue to chant sutras."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu explained, he saw Yao Guangxiao bowing and retreating.

Seeing this, he also walked out of the Ancient and Modern Classics Museum, and took the Buyu to prepare to return to the Chunhe Palace.

However, on the way back to the Chunhe Palace, he saw Yishuha trotting in a hurry from afar.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochu raised his hand to stop Buyu from advancing, and then saw Yishuha trotting to his Buyu and kneeling down and kowtowing, which made Zhu Gaoxu have a bad premonition in his heart.

"News came from the Governor's Mansion of the Sixth Army that Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, died ten days ago and lived sixty-nine."

"In addition, there is also news from the sixth ministry that the former household department Shangshu Yuxin passed away two days ago and lived for sixty-five ......."

Yishaha's panting voice continued to echo in Zhu Gaoxu's mind, he and Song Sheng had not intersected, and he didn't remember how long Song Sheng had lived in his memory, so he still wanted to let Song Sheng shine when he went west in the future.

It's just that he didn't expect that Song Sheng couldn't even wait for so many years, so he left first.

As for Yu Xin, Zhu Gaoxu was already very happy that he could live until now, after all, he remembered that Yu Xin died in office after not living for a few years in the Yongle Dynasty.

Calculated together, the result of Yu Xin's two years ahead of schedule is that he has lived four or five years longer than in history.

"Three days after dropping out of the dynasty, he gave a funeral sacrifice, posthumously named Song Sheng as the Duke of Ningguo, and the Marquis of Xining was inherited by his son Song Xuan, and was called Wuxiang."

"Yu Xin's hard work is high, and he gave his son the rank of Sanpin Wensan, hereditary demotion, and the nickname Wenzhong."

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu told him about his arrangements.

There was no verbal response, but he paused and got up.

After experiencing the matter of Empress Xu, it seems that the life and death of many people can only make Zhu Gaoxu feel dull in his chest, but it is difficult to feel the taste of a sour nose.

In fact, he had long been prepared for the gradual death of his ministers, which is why he launched wars in the southwest so frequently.

Among the generals in the north today, the oldest is only 50-year-old Ping'an, and the others are basically in their forties and thirties.

Compared to the north, the south is much worse.

Gu Cheng is eighty-one years old, He Fu and Qu Neng are sixty-seven and eight, Li Jinglong is fifty-one, and Mu Chun is forty-eight......

The slightly younger ones are Fu Rang, Wang Xuan, Zhang Fu, Meng Ying, and Zhang Chun, who are in their thirties.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu had to admire Gu Cheng, He Fu, and Qu Neng.

At such an age, he can still kill all sides on the battlefield again, and if he is idle and resting two years in advance, it is estimated that he can live to eighty or ninety.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed a few times, and by the way, he was already ready to start arranging the south.

"Does Mu Chun have a son?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered Mu Chun, who died childless at the age of thirty-six in history, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Qianguo Gong has a son in his old age, and now there are two boys, one girl and three children under his knees, the eldest son Mu Yi is nine years old, the second son Mu Hui is five years old, and the daughter is called the matchmaker."

"Well......" Hearing Yisha's words, Zhu Gaoxu said:

"Does Mu Yi take Mu Chun with him all year round, or does he stay at home in Kunming?"

After several exchanges, Zhu Gaoxu also probably knew what kind of person Mu Chun was, he was very loyal like his father, unlike his brothers, each with his own little Jiujiu.

The reason why Mu Chun can be the same as Mu Ying is that Mu Ying has always taken Mu Chun with her, and Mu Sheng and the others were raised by the female dependents.

The Mu family is located in Yunnan, if there are a few more people like Mu Ying and Mu Chun, it will reduce a lot of effort in the imperial court.

Historically, if it was Muchun who was in Yunnan, Zhu Di would not have bothered to balance the internal situation in Yunnan.

Mu Chun can open up 300,000 acres of cultivated land, and all that is left is distributed to the people, but Mu Sheng will not.

The Mu family's encroachment on cultivated land started with Mu Sheng.

"Before the age of five, he was raised by his female dependents, and then Qianguo Gong personally took it for two years, and now it seems that because of the matter in Guangxi, he will be put back home to take care of his female dependents."

Yizha told Zhu Gaochu all the things he had mastered, and Zhu Gaochu said after listening:

"In this way, if you pass on my fatwa, just say that I want to keep Mu Yi and Mu Hui by my side and accompany the emperor and grandson, you ask Mu Chun if he is willing, if he is willing, bring it, if he is unwilling, forget it."

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to raise Mu Yi and Mu Hui well, so that it would be convenient for Da Ming to further control the Indochina Peninsula in the future.

However, whether this matter can be done or not depends on whether Mu Chun himself is willing or not.

With Zhu Gaoxu's understanding of him, he should be a little uncomfortable, but he will not resist the arrangement of the imperial court.

"Okay, let's drive back to the Chunhe Palace, and gather all the emperors and grandchildren to the Chunhe Palace."

"Yes......" Yizha was a little stunned, he remembered that in addition to Zhu Gaoxu's more concern about Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi, the other young sons rarely cared, mainly because they didn't have so much energy.

It can even be said that even Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care a lot.

Now Zhu Gaoxu suddenly summoned all the emperors and grandsons, which made Yishuha a little confused.

When he answered, he quickly ordered someone to do something.

For a while, the emperors and grandsons of the East Palace inside and outside the palace all got the news and rushed to the Chunhe Palace.

Among them, Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi, who are naturally wandering outside, are the most nervous.

Eleven-year-old Zhu Zhanqi and seven-year-old Zhu Zhanqi hurriedly took out books and looked through them on the carriage back to the palace, only to think that their father was going to take the school examination for themselves, so they temporarily picked up the Buddha's feet.

But when they arrived at the Spring and Harmony Palace, the situation in the hall immediately stunned them.

Zhu Gaoxu is not only Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi two sons, since the first year of Yongle, he has given birth to five sons and two daughters with the inner court worshippers.

From Zhu Zhanqi to Zhu Zhanqi, and then to Zhu Zhantan, Zhu Zhanqi, and Zhu Zhanyu, the ages are eleven years old, seven years old, five years old, and two four years old.

The daughters are the nine-year-old eldest daughter Zhu Ruiying, and Guo Yansheng's two-year-old daughter Zhu Huiyu.

Standing in the Chunhe Hall at this moment are Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Zhanqi's three younger brothers.

The children are not very old, so they are very ignorant now.

Zhu Zhanqi is a small ghost, before entering the palace, he glanced at the eunuch on duty, and saw that the eunuch on duty had no demeanor, so he walked into the palace with confidence, and Zhu Zhanqi worked with Zhu Zhanqi to deal with his father in the palace.

"Father's ......"

The two boys spoke, Zhu Gaoxu hummed, and then put down the pen and looked at the five boys standing in a row.

"I didn't call you here to take the school exam, but mainly to talk to you about something."

Zhu Gaoxu leaned back in his chair and relaxed slightly, and when Zhu Zhanyu saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are also old, people say that the eldest brother is the father, and you are eleven years old, and you will graduate from primary school by yourself in half a year."

"At the end of the year, you come to the Chunhe Hall to take the big exam, and I will spare three days to supervise you."

"After the big exam, I will arrange for you to enter Jiangning Middle School in Yingtianfu next year, don't make trouble."

"If you have good grades in high school, then I can allow you to go to military school after graduation."

Zhu Gaoxu made a condition that Zhu Zhanyan couldn't refuse, that is, to study in a military school.

The military school is the abbreviation of the National Defense University, after all, the entire Ming Dynasty is such a military school, so it is usually referred to as a military school.

According to Zhu Zhanyan's age, he is only 17 years old after graduating from middle school and then admitted to the military academy, and after four years of training and study, he will go to the battlefield for a year, and he will be just 22 years old after graduation.

At that time, he will go to the grassroots level to serve as a clerk for three years, and after understanding the real rural environment of Daming, Zhu Gaoxu can rest assured that he will be able to help him manage the government.

It can be said that Zhu Zhanyu's path in the next 14 years has been clearly arranged by Zhu Gaoxu.

It can even be said that such a path will also be the path of all his children.

With cinchona bark, if quinine can be extracted in the future, then the Ming Dynasty can enter the Indochina Peninsula and the South Seas region.

In terms of the population growth of the Ming Dynasty, the current three propaganda and ten consolations must be fully controlled.

If you want to take actual control, in addition to changing the title of vassal king, you must also canonize a new frontier vassal king.

Zhu Zhanqi and them are the vassal kings that Zhu Gaoxu will send to Sanxuan and Ten Consolations in the future.

Therefore, they must not only be able to deal with the local people's feelings, but also learn to lead troops to fight, and be able to lead the royal guards to quell the rebellion.

Of course, it was his idea to canonize all his sons except the eldest son to the Three Declarations and Ten Consolations, but in practice, it still had to be based on their abilities.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu admired the method of "Qin people choose the strong", but this method is not conducive to the stability of a dynasty.

However, there is still a certain degree of operability in choosing a strong side.

"You'll be like your eldest brother in the future, so don't waste your studies, understand?"

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of his thoughts and commanded Wuzi in a low voice, and Wuzi nodded hurriedly.

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to say anything, the eunuch on duty outside the hall seemed to see someone, and after saying a few words, he turned around and walked towards Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu was unmoved, and it was not until he walked to his side and bowed down that Zhu Gaoxu set his eyes on him.

"Your Highness, there is news from the Xichang Thousand Households in Guangdong that the King of Qi raises assassins and recruits stranger warlocks to curse ......"

The eunuch on duty cautiously said the news he had just gotten, and Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists when he heard this, and he was angry in his heart: "Who is he cursing?" ”

"Curse ......" The eunuch on duty did not hesitate, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi cursed Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Sun Cheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Households, and said that the traitorous ministers chattered, and they wanted to follow Jianwen's time!" will kill this generation. ”

"Idiot!" Zhu Gaoxu scolded secretly, he thought that Zhu Rong would curse himself directly, after all, he was the one who ordered him to be grounded, but he didn't want Zhu Rong to curse the people who were actually Xia Yuanji and Sun Cheng.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu only felt speechless and said at the same time: "Has he left the mansion?" ”

"I didn't dare." The eunuch on duty responded to Zhu Gaoxu, but Zhu Rong was so unruly but still did not dare to disobey Zhu Gaoxu's decree, which shows that Zhu Gaoxu is majestic in the hearts of the vassal kings.

"The missionary order, the rod will be punished by the king for thirty years, and if there is a recidivism, he will be abolished."

Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth to be a waster, and he even tortured Zhu Rong, which made the eunuch on duty dry, so he could only turn around and walk out of the hall.

The conversation between the two was not small, so Zhu Rong's matter was heard clearly by everyone.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw the eunuch on duty leaving, he also frowned and looked at his five children, and said in a deep voice:

"People say that throughout the ages, they have been all in the world, but there are also family rules."

"Although you are an orphan child, it doesn't mean that you can do evil."

"From now on, if there are princes, grandsons and vassal kings who commit crimes, they will be severely punished according to this rule!"

When his words fell, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, even Zhu Zhanyan and they were no exception:

"Your Excellency, obey Your Highness's decree......"
