Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

No. 4! Zhu Biao's victory report arrived in Beijing!

The merchants responsible for cooking for the visitors have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang approaching, he knelt down in panic and said, "Greetings to your Majesty, long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead and glanced at a nearby table.

There are several vegetables that can be seen in this season on the table.

Radish, cabbage...

There were also several plates of thinly sliced, blood-red raw meat.

There is a copper pot placed in the center of the table.

There is a barrier in the middle of the copper pot, which divides the water into two sides, much like Tai Chi.

The water in the pot was boiling.

The water on one side is red, and there are some bright red fruits and vegetables as thick as a thumb floating on it. I don’t know what they are. I guess they are fresh things brought back from overseas.

Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, all the officials and children looked curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his inner curiosity and said in a deep voice: "Get on your feet."

"Long live thanks!" The powerful merchants stood up excitedly, but they were also nervous and frightened, not knowing what to do or what to do.

Subconsciously looked at Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun smiled slightly and said, "Father and Queen, please take a seat."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at each other and smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang greeted: "Boss, Bowen, and Shanchang, you will sit at the same table with us, and the others will find their own places."

Simply, the merchants had received the news early, were fully prepared, and had enough tables set up.

Mrs. Chang followed Ma Xiuying and sat down.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Chang with some envy, and went to a nearby table with Princess Guanyinnu of Qin, Princess Xie of Jin, a group of sisters-in-law, and the married princesses.

The children took their seats at nearby tables.

Baiguan went to a table a little further away.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the ingredients on the table and said with a smile: "Girl Miaoyun, please sit down too. Sit down and tell us how to eat."

It seems that he should put the raw ingredients into the pot and cook them himself.

There's nothing fancy about this either.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, iron smelting was underdeveloped.

Don’t the people just use clay pots to cook and eat like this?

"Thank you, Father."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and thanked her, but did not sit down and glanced behind her.

Two powerful merchants, their calves trembling with excitement, came over carrying a large wooden plate.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the things on the wooden plate.

Except for a few things that looked like oil, he recognized them.

Others were cut or ground into powder, and it was difficult to tell what they were originally from their shape.

However, the smell seemed vaguely familiar.

But the various smells were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them for a while.

Everyone at the surrounding tables looked at Xu Miaoyun eagerly.

Xu Miaoyun skillfully picked up the small bowl on the wooden plate and used a small porcelain spoon to mix the various seasonings chopped or ground into powder into the bowl.

"Fourth sister-in-law is so elegant!"

"Fifth sister, when I grow up, I will ask my father to find me a fourth sister-in-law like this!"

"Old Nineteen, it's time to wake up and stop dreaming. There is only one sister-in-law like me in the world, and she was abducted by my fourth brother!"

"What kind of fate is this, Fourth Brother! I'm envious!"

"No, when the fourth brother went to be a farmer, the fourth sister-in-law was actually willing to follow him."

…

The princes and princesses watched Xu Miaoyun prepare dipping sauces for Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and they were all envious and whispered.

Like a nymphomaniac, Guanyin slave looked at Xu Miaoyun's elegant and skillful movements, leaned slightly to Wu Yunqige beside her, whispered and asked with a smile: "How about Miaoyun, you are good, even if you hate our fourth brother, and Miaoyun is a sister, It’s also a beautiful thing, right?”

‘What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this! You are the prince of the Zhu family and the concubine of the second son, King Qin! ’

In an instant, three black lines fell from Wu Yunqige's beautiful forehead, and she looked at Guanyin Nu speechlessly.

A group of sisters-in-law, including Lu, Wang Meiren and Xie, were alarmed by Guanyin Nu's whispering.

Their eyes quickly met and lightly swept over Wu Yunqige.

Then he looked at Xu Miaoyun with envy.

How should the fourth child of the Zhu family treat Xu Miaoyun?

The common people all know the inside story and often discuss it secretly in private.

What's more, they are royal women.

The fourth child of the Zhu family held Xu Miaoyun in the palm of his hand and doted on her.

After Zhu Silang established a great career overseas.

The powerful women were discussing.

If one day, Xu Miaoyun wants to be a female 'emperor', I guess Zhu Laosi will agree!

There is no woman who does not envy Xu Miaoyun.

My husband dotes on me.

And his talent dominates the world.

The children are lovely.

Listening to Qihua complaining about Zhu Laosi in the palace with her father, queen and mother, Xu Miaoyun is the oldest in the family.

Although Zhu Qihua is known as Zhu Laosi's little cotton-padded jacket, if she makes Xu Miaoyun unhappy, she will be punished by Zhu Laosi!

Everyone is getting older.

Looking in the mirror, it seems that I can already see the decay of my appearance.

But Xu Miaoyun gave people the impression that he was getting younger as he lived.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced in the direction of the children, whose whispers were getting louder and louder, and stared!

He looked away and smiled at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying looked at Xu Miaoyun from the side, smiled and nodded slightly, "The fourth child in his family is so lucky." ’

Even the kids feel it.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, Chongba was so angry that he demoted the fourth child to a commoner.

He also wants to betroth the girl Miaoyun to someone else.

At that time, we even discussed the candidate with her.

She felt bad for the fourth child, but there was nothing she could do.

I thought that this marriage would be ruined.

She never expected that girl Miaoyun would be more courageous than she was before and run directly to Tuqiao Village by herself.

As for everything about Miaoyun now.

Miaoyun deserves that!

Others can only envy you.

If you are jealous.

That’s just not clear!

I can’t even weigh how much I weigh!

"Father, Queen Mother..."

Xu Miaoyun's voice interrupted Ma Xiuying's thoughts.

I saw Xu Miaoyun placing exquisite small bowls in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, "I prepared a dipping sauce for my father and empress based on their previous tastes. The other two dipping sauces are from some in the palace." I have mixed some spices and ingredients that are not available so that my parents can have a try."

When she and her sister-in-law were young, they stayed with their mother for several years.

I know the taste of my father and mother.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile.

He greeted: "Also configure it for them."

Immediately, other merchants prepared dipping sauces for everyone at each table while everyone was consulting.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at the empty seat next to Ma Xiuying, "Sit down, let's try it and explain it to me."

After thanking him, Xu Miaoyun sat down and pointed at the hot pot and introduced: "Father, mother, and Shiro called this way of eating hot pot. It is divided into clear soup and red soup. The red soup is mainly added with the fruit of an overseas wild plant. , we call it chili..."

Chili stuff.

They didn't discover it.

It's a maritime trader.

After maritime trade began in Fujian, Shiro asked maritime merchants to collect crops, fruits and vegetables from various places, whether they were wild or domesticated.

After the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department.

Shiro also asked Mao Xiang to set up a special agricultural information department.

Temporarily attached to the Military Intelligence Department.

We spent a lot of money to recruit some doctors from Fujian who were very knowledgeable about herbs, as well as old scholars who liked to read miscellaneous books.

The Military Intelligence Department is deployed in various countries overseas.

In addition to gathering various information.

Another very important task.

It is a collection of various plants from various countries.

Plants that bear fruit are even more important.

These plants will be transplanted back to the headquarters of the Dongfan Military Intelligence Department through the maritime intelligence line, and will be studied exclusively by doctors and old scholars who like miscellaneous knowledge.

Shiro said that he would establish a country in the future.

After the ministries are established.

The Agricultural Information Section should be established separately under the Ministry of Agriculture.

It is even necessary to establish a scientific research fleet for the Agricultural Information Department, so that they can follow the naval expedition team to explore deeper into the sea.

If land is found.

It doesn't matter what forces there are on land.

First of all, we must find out what plants, crops, animals are on this land...

"This pepper is a wild plant. Maritime merchants discovered that an island tribe with very backward production capacity eats this wild pepper. After confirming that it is non-toxic and harmless, we tried it and found that this pepper is very appetizing and lacks little salt. If oily food is paired with chili peppers, rough meals will not be so difficult to swallow. Over the years, Haihang has also discovered that eating more pickled chili peppers, combined with pickled sauerkraut, can effectively prevent toxemia..."

Many people know about toxemia.

I heard that this little red thing actually has this effect.

Everyone was picking up vegetables or meat, imitating Xu Miaoyun's example, and putting them into the hot pot with serving chopsticks.

The children couldn't wait. After dipping the meat slices in the red soup, they imitated Xiongying, Yongming and Qihua in dipping them in the dipping sauce, and couldn't wait to stuff them into their mouths.

Suddenly, it was hot and spicy, and there were screams.

"so spicy!"

"It's too spicy, Fourth Sister-in-law is lying!"

…

The three naughty guys, Xiong Ying, Yong Ming, and Qi Hua, secretly glanced at each other and secretly laughed.

A group of adults looked at the children and stuck out their tongues.

All cautious.

Savor in small sips.

I experienced the spicy feeling when I first came into contact with it.

Soon, everyone was conquered by the chili peppers and spices for dipping.

Even though they have already had lunch.

But everyone felt that the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat.

The spicy and delicious flavor fills the mouth and throat, making it very appetizing.

Zhu Yuanzhang was feasting.

Ma Xiuying put down her chopsticks and whispered, "You can eat as much as you want. You are so old, so don't overeat."

Xu Miaoyun and Chang looked at each other, lowered their heads and smiled secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the little movements of his two daughters-in-law, glared at Ma Xiuying, and then reluctantly looked into the pot.

Finally put down the chopsticks.

This hot pot, especially the hot pot with chili, is very satisfying to eat.

But how could he not even have this bit of self-control?

Zhu Yuanzhang took the towel handed by the eunuch, wiped his face, and asked: "Now tell us, what exactly is the fourth child doing to study this?"

A pioneer!

He didn't even bother to study his appetites.

If it weren't for this person, he would be the fourth child.

Miaoyun girl also said that the fourth child had a deeper meaning in doing this.

I'm afraid, he can't wait to send Jin Yiwei to warn the fourth child right now!

The children are still feasting.

But when the adults sitting nearby heard the sound, they all put down their chopsticks and looked at Xu Miaoyun curiously.

Xu Miaoyun put down her towel and stared at the simmering hot pot in the middle of the table. "Father, we rule foreign lands from outside. If we want to integrate overseas ethnic groups with different customs and even languages, we must imitate the First Emperor." After sweeping the heaven and earth, the execution of the book will be the same as the text, and the car will be on the same track..."

Zhu Laosi has such great ambitions!

Many people couldn't help being surprised when they heard that Zhu Di would have the same writings and tracks as his country after establishing the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others nodded slightly.

What ethnic group?

As long as the culture is unified.

The human race can be unified.

Looking at the history of China, isn’t it like this?

Shang Dynasty period.

Jining’s current state power.

They were also called Dongyi people by the people of the Shang Dynasty.

Qin and Han Dynasties.

In places like Fujian, Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, there are countless ethnic groups.

However, with the expansion of territory by the Central Plains soldiers, the culture of the Central Plains spread to these places, and gradually, everyone became Han Chinese.

The remaining Tusi tribes are now very small compared to those thousands of years ago.

They are very clear about the purpose of cultural unification!

Liu Bowen glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked: "Princess, why don't you use our Ming culture?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Liu Bowen. Don't think that he didn't know that Liu Ji was complimenting Miaoyun girl.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and replied: "Mr. Bowen, after the First Emperor swept away Liuhe, he forcibly implemented the Qin system, which caused discomfort to the people and nobles of the six countries. They felt that their original cultural customs were completely destroyed by the Qin system. The First Emperor's cultural unification The policy left the impression of bullying on the people and nobles of the Six Kingdoms. This kind of hatred has always been hidden in the hearts of the people of the Six Kingdoms. When the pressure of the Qin Dynasty began to decline, the people of the Six Kingdoms started to rise up one after another..."

The First Emperor recorded in history books was cruel and unethical.

But that was the need for imperial rule in later generations.

She and her sister-in-law followed their mother.

She was in the palace library.

I have read some secret texts passed down from the royal families of past dynasties.

We know that the First Emperor was not as miserable as described in history books.

For example.

The First Emperor conscripted corvées and gave them a certain amount of money and food.

Although it’s not much, it does give!

The imperial power of all dynasties after the First Emperor was over the world.

When a slave laborer engages in corvée work, not to mention the reward, he even has to prepare his own food rations!

Which dynasty would dare to announce such a thing to the people?

In fact, even scholars cannot know it!

The First Emperor was not as cruel as recorded in history books.

But why.

The people of the six countries rose up one after another!

She and Shiro analyzed that the forced implementation of the Qin system was one of the big reasons.

It left the impression of bullying the weak on the people of the Six Nations.

Although, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms played a great role at that time.

But in the end, the people were also resistant to the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, Shiro has decided that after sweeping across the world in the future, those elites must find various ways to completely eliminate them.

Even if he has to bear eternal infamy, Shiro will do it.

Leave no hidden danger to Yong Ming.

The elite is the source of folk customs!

Eliminate the original source.

It will be easier to establish a new trend and new culture.

"So, Shiro learned the lesson from the First Emperor's forced Qin system and did not dare to copy the Ming system and push it forward by force. When it came to the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, Shiro hoped to set up a new stove. In this way, it would not be the Ming system's original custom of bullying the weak and annexing the people from all over the world. , is a new culture created by the collision and blending of two cultures and civilizations..."

…

“The essence of our Central Plains Chinese culture will be quietly injected into all ethnic groups in the world through new cooking, clothing, hair accessories, spoken language, teaching, local village communities, and the employee-employed stock system, and ultimately form a new Chinese culture. "

…

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang looked at each other.

Everyone felt terrible!

They are still unable to judge whether the new Chinese culture described by Princess Yan will be more advanced than the current Central Plains culture formed by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty.

But the way Prince Yan and his wife do things is so amazing!

If the First Emperor had not forced the Qin system.

If it is seal script, use the Qin system.

The weights and measures are made of Yan system.

…

Each of the six countries draws on its own strengths.

Will the people of the six countries feel more balanced?

If the heir is a little more capable.

Not Hu Hai who was played by Zhao Gao and applauded.

Is it true that the Qin Dynasty will not die after two generations?

History cannot be assumed.

But re-examine history through their eyes.

Can judge.

Ruo Shihuang did not impose the Qin system, but adopted the essence of the six countries and promoted a unified new culture.

At least, the resistance of the people of the Six Kingdoms to the Qin Dynasty was definitely not that great!

"Clothes, you have to promote the split clothes like the Army No. 1 Town, right? What about hair accessories?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile, "The clothing is indeed planned to be split-style clothes like Army No. 1 Town. The tailors in Dongfan have already started designing folk clothes. Shiro has not thought about hair accessories yet."

In fact, I have already thought about it.

However, the issue of hair accessories is relatively taboo.

The ancient sages’ saying that the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents has caused great obstacles to the promotion of new hair accessories.

Nowadays, once a person grows a beard.

Shaving depends on the day.

Shiro has always found this troublesome. His eldest brother, second brother, and third brother have all started to grow beards, but Shiro still doesn't.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t save it.

But once you have to do it, there are a lot of things to pay attention to.

Promoting new hair accessories, Shiro is waiting for the opportunity.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and encouraged, "Don't have any scruples in pursuing this new Chinese culture. The imperial court will not stop you, nor is it qualified to stop you. It just so happens that you can also see which one is better, your new culture or our Central Plains culture." Be more advanced.”

these years.

He learned a lot from Lao Si.

The most profound thing is not to rest on your laurels!

At the beginning of the founding of the country.

He felt that people should be divided into farmers, doctors, craftsmen...

In this way, everyone can do their own thing, the world will be in order, and the government's cost of governance will be low.

Just like a wealthy family.

Doing business for generations that have been doing business for the master’s family.

Those who serve the master's family will serve the master's family for generations.

But it wasn't until Lao Si established the rural village community that he was ready to spread it to the world.

The fourth child hesitantly and coquettishly reminded him not to impose too many restrictions on rural communities.

All kinds of industries must be allowed in rural areas, and farmers must be allowed to engage in all kinds of industries.

To be honest, he was hesitant at first.

Worried that the world would suddenly be in chaos.

Later, Tuqiao Village not only farmed, but also secretly opened rice shops in Jiangning, and later in Jinling City.

Later, we started making wine from corn straw.

He also invested in a blacksmith shop in a neighboring village and developed the blacksmith shop approved by the imperial court.

Now, there are eighteen apprentices in this blacksmith shop!

Such a blacksmith shop is very large!

It would be a lie to say that I was not worried at the beginning.

A blacksmith shop of this size, in addition to making farm tools, can also make weapons in batches.

He immediately ordered Jiang 𤩽 to send Jin Yiwei to the blacksmith shop.

Found through surveillance.

These people are very loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Talk about him as the emperor every day.

What can I say? He sent the fourth child to Tuqiao Village, so he has the good life now.

He blushed as he listened.

The fourth child was demoted and thrown to Tuqiao Village.

This made him realize that as long as the people live a good life, even if they hold knives, they will not follow the careerists to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

With the appearance of the long-barreled fire gun, he no longer paid attention to the blacksmith shop.

…

He was not one of those scholars, nor did he come from a noble family.

I won’t cling to those wise words of saints.

He is a very realistic person.

Every administrative order made is based on interests.

He used to stand on his own laurels, but he just felt that if he set the rules, the world would be stable.

Over the years, Ming Dynasty has become more and more prosperous and prosperous while watching Lao Si struggle.

He just wanted to see what else the fourth child could do.

For example, the new Chinese culture designed by the young couple.

Is it more advanced than the existing culture of Ming Dynasty?

Advanced, Ming Dynasty can definitely absorb it!

The fourth child is tossing around overseas and cannot damage the foundation of the Central Plains.

Now, he is worried that the Central Plains side will not be able to keep up with Lao Si, just like he used to be complacent!

‘The current Emperor Zhu has returned to the Zhu Yuanzhang he was when he conquered the world! ’

Li Shanchang quietly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was excited to speak and raised his hand to gesture.

Emperor Zhu has the worst background, so why can he stand out from the crowd?

Even when Emperor Zhu was conquering the world, he could listen to all kinds of suggestions.

As long as it is beneficial, we will try our best to absorb it and make it happen!

Xu Miaoyun looked at Ma Xiuying quietly with surprise on her face.

Ma Xiuying nodded with a smile and ventriloquised, 'Your father's current changes are still due to Shiro. ’

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the little moves between Ma Xiuying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, smiled, and stood up, "Have eaten and listened well. Take us to the front to continue to see. Send some of these spices to the palace. Before the sea is fully opened, Jinling A sea trade terminal has been opened here, and Fujian merchants can trade freely at the Jinling Sea Trade Terminal, but remember, grain from the Central Plains is not allowed to be trafficked out to sea!"

After the merchants heard this, they immediately kowtowed in excitement.

As for the prohibition of food trafficking to other countries, it doesn't matter.

There are so many people in the imperial court, and they don’t even have enough to eat, and there are still people who are hungry.

It makes sense not to let everyone traffic in food.

What's more, food doesn't actually make money.

Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuxiu and a group of children hurriedly picked up the food in the bowls and looked at the hot pot reluctantly.

Keep up with the adults.

Xu Miaoyun took Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to the cloth and silk exhibition area, "Father, this is cloth and silk woven by local villages in Fujian. The price is only two-thirds of the homespun cloth and silk found in other places in Ming Dynasty. "

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying curiously went over to check the quality of the cloth.

Liu Bowen held a piece of thick labor cloth and asked: "Princess, the price of this kind of labor cloth for making military uniforms is two-thirds of that of ordinary rural homespun cloth?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at the merchant in charge of this exhibition area.

She left Fujian for a long time.

In recent years, little attention has been paid to the specific situation in Fujian.

The merchant hurriedly replied: "Minister Zuo, because labor cloth uses a lot of cotton, although it is easy to weave, the price is relatively expensive. It is about the same as the medium cotton cloth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If the court needs large quantities, we will place cotton orders with the local villagers in advance. , without harming the interests of the people, the price can be reduced by about 10%..."

Liu Bowen nodded.

King Yan has already said that when Dongfan's navy and army install new military uniforms, the local village communities will cooperate in a cost-saving operation process.

"Prime Minister Zuo, the price of this mixed labor cloth is equivalent to the price of homespun cloth in other parts of the Ming Dynasty." The merchant hurriedly picked up another piece of labor cloth and introduced it.

Xu Miaoyun looked curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched it and asked: "Why? Is this a defective product? Why do we feel that it doesn't look like it?"

The merchant said in panic: "Your Majesty, this is not a defective product. This kind of labor cloth contains 70% cotton thread and 30% silk thread..."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but smile happily.

Shiro kept saying.

As long as the enthusiasm of the people is fully mobilized.

People will create many things.

This kind of mixed denim cloth, which she had never heard of, was made by Fujian people who used their ingenuity to improve it on the basis of denim cloth.

It turns out that every year, a large number of defective products are produced during silk reeling.

A good silkworm cocoon is a whole piece of silk.

But the silkworm seeds have defects, and the silk is easily broken during the reeling process.

This resulted in a lot of defective silk.

If the broken silk is reattached, spun, and woven into satin, the satin will have thread ends and bulges.

Originally, the silk and satin woven in the village were not in good quality due to the skills of the people, so the price was relatively low.

If defective silk is used, the quality of the satin will be even worse.

The common people twisted the broken silk into silk threads as thick as the textile denim, mixed them with 30/70 cotton threads, and woven them into this mixed denim.

…

The merchant carefully introduced: "Your Majesty, although this kind of mixed denim uses defective silk, it also has advantages and disadvantages. Cotton cloth shrinks easily when washed with starch, but denim mixed with silk can greatly improve the shrinkage phenomenon and is more durable. bouncy……"

Ma Xiuying tried to pull the cloth and nodded.

"The disadvantage is that cotton threads are easier to color than silk threads. After repeated starching, silk threads will discolor more severely. Therefore, only 30% of silk threads can be added to a piece of cloth. If more, the problem of color fading after starching will be very serious."

"Girl Miaoyun, why are you laughing?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun replied: "Father, Shiro said that demand will drive change. The defective silk prompted the people to invent and create this kind of mixed labor cloth. The mixed cloth has advantages, but there are also dyeing problems. Generally speaking, mixed cloth The advantages of cloth outweigh the disadvantages, which means that mixed cloth can survive. In the future, in order to sell mixed cloth at a good price, people will definitely find ways to overcome the dyeing problem..."

Perhaps, by then, a new dyeing technique will appear!

"It seems that the fourth son has a great influence on you. Think about it, how many times have you said 'Silang said' today." Zhu Yuanzhang joked with a smile.

He was happy to see this.

Family and everything will be prosperous.

It is said in the book of sages.

The husband sings and the wife follows.

But he observed him and Xiuying.

That's not the case at all.

In many places, he is becoming more and more like Xiuying.

On the other hand, Xiuying looks more and more like him.

Although Xiuying had a strong temper in the past, she was also very gentle.

Look at these years, the older I get, the worse my temper becomes.

On the contrary, he is becoming more and more like him before!

Tell him at every turn: Zhu Chongba, I am informing you, not consulting you!

Look!

In order to allow Xiuying to stay with him for a few more years.

What can be done?

I should imitate my son, imitate my fourth son!

Lu and others looked at Xu Miaoyun with envy.

How had my father ever treated these daughters-in-law so kindly and without the slightest air of an emperor?

Baiguan also found it particularly dazzling!

They couldn't help but secretly murmur, "Zhu Silang has achieved Taoism alone, it's really like chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!" ’

Xu Miaoyun noticed that the gaze on her became sharp. She quickly changed the subject and picked up a piece of silk. "Father, this is the silk used by the new army of Dongfan to make paper armor. I originally thought that the maritime merchants brought this kind of silk." Cheap silk, I want to dump it in the Ming Dynasty..."

…

Mention the paper armor of Dongfan's new army.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others checked the quality of silk.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at the merchant: "The imperial court is indeed interested in gradually changing the uniforms of the new imperial army..."

The protective power of paper armor is no worse than that of iron armor.

Paper armor is easy to make and cheaper than iron armor.

Even if the price is the same, it is beneficial to replace iron armor with paper armor.

As Lao Si said, excess iron can be used to make firecrackers and artillery, and can also popularize iron farm tools and increase food production.

…

"Not only paper armor, the new army formed by the imperial court will also be equipped with split military uniforms of the new Dongfan Army..."

Biao'er led the troops on their way north.

Just send back the message.

During the actual march.

The current red coats of the new army of the imperial court are too cumbersome and greatly restrict the flexibility of the new army.

It was proposed that the imperial court should imitate the Dongfan New Army and replace it with split military uniforms in the new army being organized and trained.

However, many people in the DPRK and China did not agree to completely copy the Dongfan New Army.

It is proposed that military uniforms continue to use bright red.

…

"Without affecting maritime trade, can you provide cheap enough labor cloth and silk? Of course, we hope that you can use the method of maritime trade to support rural communities in Fujian to be used in other rural areas in the Ming Dynasty. Village communities, cultivate and support these rural village communities that have been established but have not yet achieved significant development..."

Other rural communities in the Ming Dynasty.

I am afraid that only Tuqiao Village and several joint rural communities can compete with Fujian rural communities.

A bottom province.

Last year, he contributed two million taels in taxes to the imperial court!

You know, the basic conditions in Fujian are not good.

I'm afraid it's just a little better than Yunnan, which was newly recovered by the imperial court.

From this, one can imagine how good the development of Fujian's rural village communities is.

If it weren't for the Northern Expedition, he couldn't wait to see it.

Look at the tea mountains, mulberry forests, cotton fields, orchards...

The merchant said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple. The imperial court has designated silk merchants to implement the labor-employed stock system. The silk merchants will first be allowed to support local villages and communes with suitable conditions to plant mulberry trees and cultivate silkworm seeds..."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully.

Until the merchant was so excited that he stammered and even finished speaking incoherently.

Then he smiled and said: "If we give you a franchise, not only will you be allowed to come to Jinling to trade, but you will also be allowed to open a silk shop in Jinling. Send the best children from your family, and you will also be allowed to send one of the best. Elderly people come to Jinling..."

In Fujian, Lao Si certainly knew how to guide rural village communities to develop to a higher level through economic means through businessmen.

Within Jinling.

Hu Weiyong set up Hu's business, which was a company with employee shares.

Also engaged in silk business.

But he couldn't trust Hu Weiyong.

Compared to Hu Weiyong.

He trusts these businessmen whom Lao Si has trained and trusted even more.

Let them open a joint store.

The best elder brought a group of the best young people from the family to Jinling.

According to Jin Yiwei's report.

The outstanding children of these powerful merchant families were deeply involved in the construction of rural villages and communities.

Let them move what they did in Fujian to Jinling.

Rural village communities have been established in thirteen counties throughout Zhili.

The scale of these thirteen counties is enough to develop into higher-level rural villages, right?

Let this group of merchants trusted by the fourth brother come to Jinling to set an example.

Although the imperial court did not force merchants to establish a labor share system.

But these powerful dragons from Fujian rushed in and crushed local businessmen by virtue of their advanced nature.

If local businessmen in Jinling want to survive and make money, they will definitely follow suit.

Sometimes, if there is internal conservatism and insufficient motivation for change, external forces should be introduced to stimulate these die-hards inside!

Just like when Wu Xun bargained with him.

After the fourth child showed up, these bastards instantly became more honest!

A group of businessmen were completely stunned by the pie falling from the sky.

Subconsciously looked at Xu Miaoyun.

This reaction fell into Xu Miaoyun's eyes, and Xu Miaoyun's face suddenly changed.

She knew very well what the officials who originally hated them would think when they saw this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and didn't care, "Girl Miaoyun, they all look at you, so it's up to you to decide for them."

The remarks made by this group of merchants after their powerful arrival in Beijing.

The Jin Yiwei all reported.

For example, many people have decided that in the future, the whole family will follow the fourth child to migrate to sea.

He didn't mind.

He didn't give the fourth child any support.

This group of people wanted to follow Lao Si, although they were suspected of despising and abandoning Da Ming, and felt uncomfortable hearing about it.

But as long as they are loyal to the fourth child and support the fourth child.

He doesn't mind.

It can be regarded as a little support for his son as a father.

to this son.

He gave almost nothing.

Xu Miaoyun thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Father, when they complete the mission assigned by the court and make money, when the time is right, let them transfer the Jinling business to other conscientious and responsible businessmen."

"Yeah!"

"Your Majesty, this method the princess said is good!"

…

A group of businessmen hurriedly agreed.

They knew the princess' concerns.

They have been labeled as King Yan.

Investments yield returns.

And it's good to be able to sell it to the imperial court.

It’s already worth a thousand dollars!

The prince often tells everyone that businessmen can make money, but they must not be greedy. While making money, they must also assume responsibilities and obligations.

This is true.

Everyone has made money in these years, and the villagers praise it, and the court recognizes it.

Isn't that the best proof?

If you stay in Jinling, you can make a lot of money by taking advantage of the first-mover advantage.

Local merchants hated them.

People who are hostile to the prince will also hate them.

Make a mess for yourself and the prince.

Why bother.

In the future, if you go to sea with the prince, you will have many opportunities to make money.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Xu Miaoyun.

All merchants can see through Miaoyun's intention.

How could he not know?

These two children are always tolerant. I hope that from now on, the country of Ming Dynasty will not fail them, and the subjects of Ming Dynasty will not fail them!

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion and did not refute Xu Miaoyun's proposal. He nodded and said: "Okay, this matter has been decided."

After saying that, he looked up at the sun.

"It's getting late, and the people's tour in the afternoon is about to start. Let's go back to the city. Today's observation is an eye-opener for us. I hope you will not disappoint. The fourth son of our family has expectations for you and maintain the sincerity you have now!"

…

Zhu Yuanzhang rarely encouraged a group of merchants.

Then, amidst the excited shouts of a group of powerful merchants, they took a royal chariot and led the crowd back to the city.

The carriage had just entered the city.

A young eunuch ran from the front to the carriage of Xu Miaoyun, mother and son, and said with a flattering smile: "Princess, the emperor has ordered that the whole family return to the palace and have dinner together in the palace in the evening."

…

"Mom, overseas doesn't seem to be wild. Today's hot pot is very delicious. Grandfather wants the whole family to have a meal together tonight, so they will definitely have hot pot!"

In Lu's carriage, as soon as the eunuch left, Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at Lu eagerly.

Lu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

I visited today and the impact was really great.

Overseas goods.

Xu Miaoyun’s talent!

The emperor's father and mother paid great attention to Xu Miaoyun's opinions.

During the whole process, their father and mother did not refute any of Xu Miaoyun's suggestions!

Among these daughters-in-law.

Who can be treated like this?

Maybe, just the Crown Princess?

Zhu Yunwen saw that Mrs. Lu was in a daze and did not answer for a long time.

Lower your head.

‘When will the news of my father’s victory come back! ’

Today, Zhu Qihua introduced them to all kinds of delicious food.

The sight of being pampered by eldest brother, younger uncles, and aunts is really abominable!

Why is there no news about my father’s victory!

When the time comes, he will definitely go to Zhu Qihua and say: "My father can also win great battles! Not only my fourth uncle can!"

…

Hundreds of officials rode in carriages in groups, and they were also talking a lot.

"Your Majesty, my empress, you are too kind to Xu Miaoyun!"

"Look, Your Majesty accepts all Xu Miaoyun's proposals today!"

"Zhu Silang's princess has such a status in our Ming Dynasty, which is amazing! Our princess didn't say a word the whole time today!"

"She, Xu Miaoyun, is so ignorant!"

"Si Chen! Zhu Silang pampers Xu Miaoyun like this, just watch, there will be no good results!"

…

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying's respect for Xu Miaoyun's opinions made many officials very uncomfortable.

…

at the same time

Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

Ha ha……

Jiang 𤩽 read the letter and laughed heartily: "Zhu Silang's limelight is finally going to be suppressed! The crown prince has won a great victory!"

I checked the peppers and found that they were introduced from South America. But I also checked that there are wild peppers in Southeast Asia, so I made my debut in advance.
