Chapter 253 The night after returning to Beijing(1/2)
Is your son OK?
Zhu Gaochi did have such an idea in his mind.
After all, as he knew, the three women in the East Palace have all fallen into the hands of their sons.
Even in the southern border, there is one.
And this time I heard that this kid has also placed one in Hangzhou Prefecture.
But it was because he came back directly from Japan, and the one from Hangzhou Prefecture had not yet reached Yingtian.
After careful calculation, Zhu Gaochi discovered that there were already five women in his son's room.
It is reasonable to say.
Probably not to fail?
But it can't be, none of these five women can give birth, right?
Zhu Gaochi thought silently, but in the end he could only shake his head silently and stop sending people to the people to find folk remedies.
If the son is not bad, but he is recklessly trying to do folk remedies, then the people outside will find out.
God knows what happens to happen then.
Zhu Zhanji obviously didn't know that his old father had malicious conjectures about him.
He just suddenly felt a little cold and shivered.
"Dad, should you install a stove here?" Zhu Zhanji said silently.
Zhu Gaochi gave his son helpless look: "It's almost summer, I'm going to get the stove? Tell me about your second uncle."
"Second Uncle?" Zhu Zhanji was a little confused.
My father doesn’t care much about his second uncle on weekdays.
Even if the second uncle put the knife on his neck, he would not blink.
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "The old man drove him and the third brother to southern Xinjiang. You guys will take him to Japan and tell me what you want to do."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were a little stern, and he wanted to figure out what his son was going to do.
He was really worried that their family would do something and then be mentioned countless times by people from later generations.
Just like Li Er of the previous Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanji silently said, "I didn't want to do anything... I just am the second uncle who is very suitable for being in Japan..."
Zhu Zhanji had been thinking about the candidate for Japan for a long time.
As he said, the second uncle is very suitable to be in charge of Japan.
Proud of His Highness the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty, he is definitely the best candidate to suppress Japan and implement a series of policies and means that are in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, he has been thinking about several currents over there.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's sea ships are becoming larger and stronger.
There is no need to accumulate firepower anymore. Just drive the boat to the other side of the ocean and you will be at the top of the food chain!
However, Zhu Gaochi obviously did not believe his son's explanation.
The court is now full of stars, and a small Japanese can meet Japan, no matter how many people are sent, they can fulfill the court's requirements well.
Seeing the old father's distrust of himself, Zhu Zhanji could only shake his head helplessly.
The father and son looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.
Then, Zhu Zhanji continued to speak first: "Dad, the cement road to Peiping is about to speed up."
"On the way back to Beijing, the fifth batch of prisoners had been sent over to the southern Xinjiang. Now they are all arranged on the official road towards Beiping, and the construction will be started at the same time according to the method of construction in sections you have proposed." Zhu Gaochi said silently.
The southern Xinjiang has basically entered a stable period now.
Nowadays, the Japanese strickenness on the southeast coast has been eliminated, and countless resources will be immediately transported from southern Xinjiang to the mainland of the Central Plains.
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but suggest: "Southern Xinjiang is ripe three times a year, and now it is about to enter summer. When the summer grain in the Central Plains matures, the grain in southern Xinjiang has also matured. Can we transport the grain produced in southern Xinjiang directly to Beiping by sea, from Dagukou, Hejian Prefecture, via Weihe and Luhe to Tongzhou, and then directly into the city of Beiping?"
His proposal at this time will always be one of the important channels for the transportation of materials in Peking in the future.
And Dagukou, Hejian Prefecture (Tianjin), is a place full of stories.
Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor wants to move the capital to Peiping.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for another Forbidden City to be built and improved in the city of Peking.
Zhu Zhanji's opinion said that it was to enrich the supplies in Peking City, but rather to provide another transportation channel for grain and grass materials to Jiubian.
Nowadays, the source channels for supplying food, grass, weapons and weapons in Jiubian are very complicated.
But in general, we have to rely on Huguang and Liangzhe as the main force.
Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places serve as auxiliary services.
And when the supplies from the south arrived at the hands of the soldiers on the Jiubian, I was afraid that they would not arrive when they set off.
This is a helpless result, not that someone should really use the supplies used by the soldiers on the Nine-side.
At least, they dare not be so bold as to be corrupt now.
This is just a normal expense.
Just as there will be fire consumption when the imperial court casts silver, this is inevitable.
If the imperial court chooses to transport supplies to the north by sea without the influence of the Japanese attack, it will be the most cost-effective way.
The sea ships loaded with food and supplies from southern Xinjiang can even continue to dock on the way through the coastal areas of the Central Plains, and finally deliver them to the distant north.
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Song Daben, the Ministry of Works, said that now he has several more drawings of new-style sea ships. Did you make them?"
"It was all figured out by the children. The Ministry of Works has probably made one or two pieces, and it will not be confirmed until it is thoroughly verified." Zhu Zhanji explained with some implicit explanation.
The prince sighed in his heart.
How many years have it been?
The changes in the Ming Dynasty made him feel a little unbelievable.
Even though it was only three or five years ago, no one dared to think that the vast territory of southern Xinjiang would become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Japan, which was across the sea, had become a new expedition for the Ming Dynasty.
And the soldiers who had been in the bitter and cold land for fifty years on the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty will be able to use the food and supplies produced from southern Xinjiang thousands of miles away.
Zhu Gaochi still can't believe the richness of the products in southern Xinjiang.
But he also knew that southern Xinjiang was not safer than Jiubian.
It was from the time when the Ming Dynasty set out to fight in southern Xinjiang that he had been constantly receiving the soldiers fighting in southern Xinjiang, and how many people were injured every day because of the miasma caused by the dense forests.
But now the imperial court can use the output from southern Xinjiang to support the nine borders without increasing the burden on the people of the Central Plains.
Thinking of the conversation between the monarch and ministers that happened not long ago in the imperial city outside the city, Zhu Gaochi felt that the current court was completely qualified to go to Mount Tai.
With emotion in mind, Zhu Gaochi said, "Go, it's late at night."
After saying the words to drive people away, Zhu Gaochi lowered his head again, picked up the military book he had put down before, and entered his world again.
Zhu Zhanji stood up silently, bowed respectfully and said he was leaving.
...
Royal Palace.
In such a late night, most of the palace had turned off the lights and merged with the entire night.
There are only a few spots that are still on.
Among them, the palace where the emperor is located has the brightest lights.
Even at this time, there were still figures coming in and out inside and outside the palace.
Following a figure into the palace.
Zhu Di, who had just finished reading the memorial, was closing his eyes to rest.
And as the visitor walked in, he slowly opened his eyes again.
The emperor could not see his tired look on his face, even though he was over fifty years old now, the good weather and weather filled him with countless energy.
But today, there was a little sadness in the emperor's eyes.
The monk who walked into the Yan Palace in Beiping peacefully today and left the Ming Dynasty, which was growing stronger.
Even as the king, Zhu Di still has a kind of grief in his heart, his old friend and confidant who have experienced countless ups and downs and life and death, and has passed away in front of him.
Zhu Di originally wanted to take the old monk back to Beiping City and let the old guy see how magnificent the new Beiping City was.
He even built a solemn temple in the city of Peiping.
The golden body of the Buddha statue was made of the best gold material, and the Buddha was so tall that he almost had to penetrate the dome of the temple.
Zhu Di wanted to live in the palace in Beiping City.
Similarly, he also prepared a new temple for his old friend.
