The establishment of the Dongji Factory was faster than expected, and the backbone personnel were set in only two days.

Of course, the main reason is that there are not many backbones, one commander, one thousand households, and one hundred households; Shift and Clerk...... several, less than fifty in total.

However, their power is not small, and the investigation and arrest of people are within the scope of their duties, and they have the right to observe the interrogation of Jinyiwei.

As a result, Jinyiwei's power has shrunk significantly, and his exercise of power has also been restricted.

The admiral of the Dongji Shichang is also from the Yan Wangfu, and it is Xiao Linzi, the eunuch of the station class, his qualifications are not as good as Sanbao, but he is young, only in his thirties, this age is at the time of the eunuch.

- Eunuchs are generally very alive!

The Three Treasures and Jewels are in front of him, and Xiao Linzi also hopes to make a career like the Three Treasures.

Since the Three Treasures went to the West, he has become the idol of all the eunuchs, and when the eunuchs mention the Three Treasures, their waists are a little straighter, and there is such a number one person, and they are quite protective of spiritual leaders.

The eunuch has low self-esteem, there is a lack of purr in the crotch, and he feels that he is a dwarf, and now that the opportunity has come, he naturally has to behave well.

Zhu Di knew that the Jinyi Wei tree had deep roots, and it was impossible to rely on these dozens of people to fight against Jinyiwei, so he was quite supportive of the Dongji Factory.

On the north side of Dong'anmen, they were given office space, and an additional 50,000 taels of silver were allocated to recruit them.

Should I say it or not, although these eunuchs have no culture, their ability to do things is not bad, and their work enthusiasm is high.

On this day, Li Qing followed Zhu Di to the East Factory to check the progress, and couldn't help but be surprised.

In less than half a month, more than 800 soldiers were recruited, and all of them were powerful and tall, and the factory was quite like that.

The only thing that made Li Qing unhappy was that the lobby of the Yamen of the East Factory enshrined a portrait of Yue Fei.

Only...... Outrageous!

Wu Mu has a spirit in the sky, if he sees this scene, I don't know how he will feel...... Li Qing couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, why do you want to hang the portrait of Yue Wumu?" ”

"Uh, hehe......" Xiao Linzi said with a smile, "Our family doesn't have much ability, and it is a 'loyal' word to the emperor, Yue Wumu is the most loyal to the old man, and our family admires him." ”

Zhu Di listened to the explanation, and his expression changed from doubt to satisfaction.

Li Qing touched his nose and couldn't say anything.

……

Out of the East Factory, Zhu Di sighed and said with a smile: "Did you see it?" ”

"What?"

"Eunuchs are not useless." Zhu Di said, "If you don't have a chance, it's just that, once you have a chance, no one is much worse than the other;

They are all human beings, and if they don't read some books, they must be outstanding and superior to others. ”

Li Qing nodded, knowing this very well.

Even he, the most ordinary fresh graduate in later generations, can be crowned a marquis and become a scholar.

Many times, many people suffer from not having a chance, and once they have an opportunity, they may not be able to make a career.

Lao Zhu can be an emperor with a cowherd baby, and he is doing a very good job, although he has outstanding ability, but the more important thing is the opportunity.

Zhu Di stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Sanbao has sent a letter, the treasure ship has entered the territory of Daming, and in half a month at most, the treasure ship will be able to return." ”

"Three Treasures are coming back?" Li Qing was pleasantly surprised, "How can you say, have you found the sweet potato?" ”

"I didn't say this, I shouldn't have it." Zhu Di shook his head slightly, "However, he has discovered a new country this time." ”

When Li Qing heard this, his expression first darkened, then he was happy, and then he asked, "What about the potatoes?" ”

"You're talking about Yongle Beans, right?"

“…… Be. ”

"Brought back a lot." Zhu Di said, "The reason why the three treasures have been used for so long this time is to bring back more seeds, and the Franc machine regarded Yongle beans as ornamental flowers and did not plant them on a large scale;

The Three Treasures allowed them to be planted extensively, and took advantage of this gap to cooperate with the Franco-Plane adventurers to explore new continents;

It's just that because of the monsoon, and the supplies can't keep up, in order to be sure, I had to return to the ship, and I didn't land......"

Zhu Di explained why Sanbao took so long.

"The New World?" Li Qing scratched his head and said in his heart: "It shouldn't be America, right?" ”

Calculating the time, Sanbao went to the West this time, and Yongle set off at the end of the fourteenth year, and now it is May of the nineteenth year of Yongle, which is almost twice the time of the previous trip to the West.

After such a long time, it is not unusual to discover the New World.

Li Qing suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the emperor, about moving the capital, did you have someone to bring a letter to Sanbao?" ”

If Sanbao returns to the dynasty and finds that he has returned to the wrong home, he will have to make a joke.

"Got it." Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "In your eyes, am I so sloppy?" ”

"Ahaha...... The emperor misunderstood. Li Qing pursed his lips secretly, and made a loss.

Li Qing was happy in his heart, although the sweet potatoes could not be brought back, if the new continent was really discovered, the sweet potatoes would not be far away, and they would be able to do business further.

Next, just wait for the Three Treasures to come back.

The speed with which the East Factory was established was staggering, but most officials didn't care.

They don't think that this group of eunuchs can become any climate.

But soon ushered in a slap in the face, and ten days later, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was found to have participated in the arson case of the three major halls, and the evidence was conclusive.

Zhu Di is not polite, Ling Chi and the Nine Clans!

The fall of a Shangshu made the ministers silent, and it was only then that they realized that this group was so powerful.

The hundred officials complained bitterly, and finally eased the relationship with Jinyiwei, and jumped out of the East Factory again, this day ...... When is it a head?

Dongchang is different from Jinyiwei, this department is controlled by eunuchs, and the civil official group can befriend Jinyiwei, but they are unwilling to befriend the eunuchs.

Without him, you want to face!

At this time, civil officials still have a bottom line.

In any case, Jin Yiwei is also an official of the Ming Dynasty, a courtier of the emperor, and belongs to his colleagues; But what is Dongchang, the eunuch in power, the emperor's slave.

They looked down on eunuchs from the bottom of their bones, and in their eyes, eunuchs were even more inferior than prostitutes.

Of course, the generals are not used to the East Factory.

For Dongchang, Wenchen military generals united the front.

But the eunuchs of Dongchang didn't care, they made meritorious contributions, received awards, and became more motivated.

All eunuchs, keep up with the Three Treasures!

I have to say that the East Factory at this stage is still good, both able to do things, and very loyal.

After Dongchang entered the bureau, the court bureau returned to calm again, and the turmoil of moving the capital completely subsided, and even many people no longer had the idea of moving back.

At this time, Zhu Di changed Beiping to Jingshi, and remade a set of official seals with the words Jingshi and sent them back to Jinling.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty officially set the capital of Beiping, and Jinling became the accompanying capital.

Jinling was the birthplace of Taizu, and it was Kyoto for decades, and Zhu Di did not dare to abolish it directly, and retained the administrative structure.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty had two Beijing divisions, one Nanjing and one Beijing.

……

Five days later.

When the three treasures returned, Zhu Di stopped the noon dynasty and invited hundreds of officials to wash the dust for the three treasures.

The Admiral of Dongchang, Qianhu, and the stall head were very happy about the return of the idol, although they were not qualified to enter the table, but they also came to the banquet with a shy face to pay tribute to the idol.

poured wine for the emperor, the prince, the grandson, and the idol, and was very busy.

These people are originally from serving people, and their mouths are as if they have been smeared with honey, and they are very good at warming up the scene, which makes Zhu Di laugh loudly.

Zhu Di is very happy, the cash cow is back, can he not be happy?

"Sambo, how much money did you make this time?" Zhu Di asked.

Sanbao put down his wine glass and replied, "Since it took too long to go to sea, I consumed some of it, but it was still a lot more than last time, and I also carried a large number of Yongle rice seeds, as well as soil ...... Yongle beans. ”

He smiled: "I brought a lot of seeds this time, I only need to plant them once, and Daming will not worry about seeds in the future." ”

Zhu Di patted Sanbao on the shoulder and said with emotion: "It's hard work, Daming has you, it's really a great blessing!" ”

"The emperor has a good reputation." The Three Treasures said reservedly, "If there is no emperor Shengming, how can the Ming Dynasty be today?" ”

"Oh? Haha......" Zhu Di's heart was happy, he hadn't been so happy for a long time, he wanted to chant a poem, but there was no ink in his stomach, so he had to say, "Come, drink!" ”

The three treasures are Zhu Di's treasures, and they are also the treasures of the Ming Dynasty.

Because every time he returns, he brings great wealth.

Zhu Zhanji raised his glass and said, "Three treasures, I toast you." ”

"The imperial grandson is polite."

Sanbao raised his glass and drank it all, feeling quite emotional: before he left, his grandson was still a teenager, and when he came back, his grandson became a father, and time flies so fast!

Li Qing also sighed with emotion, thinking that the young man was like yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, the young man was fifty.

The years are not forgiving!

……

Li Qing raised his glass to the three treasures, drank the wine, and asked, "What is the yield of Yongle beans per mu?" ”

"The yield per acre is amazing." Sanbao excitedly said, "This thing can be planted twice a year, and the annual yield per mu is thousands of catties, if it is planted properly, the yield will be higher, the key is that this thing is easy to serve, much better than rice." ”

"Thousands of catties per mu?" Zhu Di's pupils shrank, "Really? ”

Sambo nodded.

"Oops...... Zhu Di was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "It's going to happen now." ”

With sufficient food, the population can grow, and the population grows, and the national strength can be strong...... Zhu Di's eyes were bright, and he smiled strangely: "My Yongle prosperity is finally coming." ”

Laughing and laughing, he suddenly found that several people looked at him with strange expressions, Zhu Di's face was hot, and he didn't have a good breath, "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty." Several people hurriedly followed.

Zhu Zhanji said in his heart: Why did the imperial grandfather smile so ...... What about obscenity?

~

The banquet was over, and Zhu Di ordered the household department, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang to count the specific harvest, and then took Sanbao to the imperial study to discuss in detail.

Li Qing was called to the East Palace by Xiaopang.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Qing, in the past few years, Daming has accumulated savings, plus the wealth brought back by the Three Treasures, the treasury is already quite rich, I am worried about ......" Xiaopang smiled bitterly, "Who is the father, you know, he can't be rich." ”

"You're thinking too much." Li Qing sneered and shook his head, "Warat and Tatar are very stable, even if he wants to fight, he is unknown." ”

After a pause, "Besides, armament is a common thing, and fighting a war is not harmful." ”

Xiaopang nodded slightly, and then smiled bitterly: "He not only costs money to fight, but also costs me, he has gradually stopped doing things over the years, I am getting more and more tired, and my staying power is not as good as before." ”

"......," Li Qing asked, "how much money does the treasury have now?" ”

"How can I say it......" Chubby thought for a moment, "the 500,000 army has made three northern expeditions, which is more than enough." ”

"So rich?" Li Qing was stunned, "It's only been a few years, why did you save so much money?" ”

Xiaopang smiled: "You don't know this, in recent years, with the completion of the canal and the end of the construction of the capital, the expenses of the imperial court have been very small;

After the apportionment into the mu, the annual tax is more than 30% more than in the previous good years, and the pressure of the people is less, the need for disaster relief is less, and the handicraft industry has been developed at the same time, but also brought a large wave of taxes;

Daming is rich now. Xiaopang advised, "Don't you dare to tell my father, he only knows that the finances are not tight, and he doesn't know that there is so much money." ”

"......" Li Qing rolled his eyes, "give me your hand." ”

"What?"

"I'll show you the body."

Xiaopang handed over his arm, and Li Qing pressed it for a while before he felt the pulse and couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?" Xiaopang said nervously, "I don't think there's anything wrong with me, it's just that sometimes I've been dealing with official business for a long time, and I'm a little dizzy, and I can't do it, so it's good to sleep." ”

"Are you serious about sleeping?"

"Of course it's not serious." Seeing that he was in the mood to joke, Xiaopang also relaxed at the moment, and said with a smile: "After a busy day, I usually reward myself." ”

Li Qing was speechless: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that your blood pressure is a little high, eat more vegetables and less meat, don't always reward yourself." ”

"It's okay, what are you squinting?" Chubby complained, "Scared me." ”

Li Qing said seriously: "You really should lose weight, it's hard to give you a pulse." ”

"Forget about losing weight, after so many years and losing so many times, I haven't really succeeded, and I'm still guilty." The little fat broke the can and said, "I'll eat less meat." ”

You didn't even mention sleeping...... Li Qing said helplessly, "There are more than forty people, and you are still a young man eighteen?" ”

"Pay attention in the future, pay attention to ha~" Xiaopang smiled, "Brother Qing, you can design a recipe for me, and I will eat it according to it in the future." ”

"Cheng, I'll get one for you when I go back."

Chubby said, "Do you want to drink some more?" ”

"Let's have tea!"

……

The two drank tea while talking about the current situation, and chatted for more than an hour, Li Qing got up to say goodbye, and Xiaopang went out to see him off.

As soon as he went out, he didn't go far, and he met Yu Qian, who was out of breath, "I've seen... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen ......"

"Don't see you." Li Qing asked, "Is there a big deal?" ”

Yu Qian nodded, concise and to the point, "Border reports from outside the border that Warat has invaded Hami, and Tatar is coming to Koubian." ”
