Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 109 Working Status

They are newlyweds, but Zhu Xiongying is about to leave Yingtian Mansion and set off for Peking again.

Zhu Xiongying led a team to set off ahead of schedule, and at this time, the concubine Xu Miaoqing, she set off with the big team.This time, Zhu Xiongying's grandmother, Chang Lan, also set off together. She is also going to "settled" in Peiping.

Zhu Xiongying's two relatives and aunts also went to Peiping at this time to relocate their family. They were also the first group of royal families to go to Peiping.This also shows Lao Zhu's determination to move the capital and let his two princesses go with him.

People like Lian Zining also went with them at this time, and these were a group of civil servants added to Zhu Xiongying.Of course, Lian Zining's identity is also special. He can be regarded as Zhu Xiongying's father-in-law, and his legitimate daughter is Zhu Xiongying's side concubine. Although she won't marry Zhu Xiongying until the end of the year, her status is still settled.

In fact, there are quite a few nobles who are going to live in Beiping, including Feng Cheng.He will also become Zhu Yue's son-in-law and Zhu Xiongying's brother-in-law.This can be regarded as a kind of reward from Lao Zhu to Feng Guoyong, Feng Cheng's father, or it can be said to completely tie the Feng family to Zhu Xiongying's chariot.

Although Feng Guoyong is dead, Feng Guoyong's younger brother, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, can be regarded as a banner of the Ming military.Now it is even sitting in Dongying, and has beaten Shi Jian down, and is now arranging craftsmen to prepare for mining.

Daming needs to do a lot of things now, especially Beidi now needs a person with the right to speak.Not only to keep an eye on Korea and Japan, but also need to keep an eye on the Tatars in the north, and not let them have any chance to act rashly.

Rushed to Peiping, Zhu Xiongying received the left-behind Wenwu in Fulong Palace, and naturally heard some reports from them.Many things require Zhu Xiongying to make some decisions, and these are all things he should do.

"Spring planting is about to start in full swing, and the cattle taken from the north must be tamed. We must ensure that the people of our Ming Dynasty have land to cultivate and cattle to use." Zhu Xiongying sat at the main seat and said solemnly, "Today, the military households have More than half of the land to be opened up will be planted with cotton, which will ensure that my Ming will survive the winter this year."

Yan Zhenzhi was a little worried at this moment, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the grain depot can't keep up with this."

Zhu Xiongying was not very worried, and said with a smile, "The land in the south of the Yangtze River can transport grain. The weather has been smooth in the past two years, so there is no need to worry about grain. In the future, we will grow grain. Now, in the past two seasons, we must ensure that our Daming frontier army has enough supplies in winter." need."

Although Daming now has briquettes, there are more winter options than before.But briquettes, that is, roasting fire and cooking vegetables, are just firewood.But cotton clothes and cotton cloth are different. This is also a matter that is urgently related to people's livelihood, and Zhu Xiongying dare not be careless.

What's more, whether it is Japan or Korea, it is even more bitterly cold there, and the winter there is not easy, and the garrison also needs enough supplies.

To choose or make some decisions, Zhu Xiongying also needs to do well.The land in the south of the Yangtze River naturally produces grain, and the foundation there is better.And things like cotton are planted first in the north, because the demand here is higher.

As an emperor's grandson, a very assertive emperor's grandson, Zhu Xiongying often doesn't need his subordinates to have too many ideas.What he needs is some people to implement his plan well. After all, Zhu Xiongying thinks that he has a longer-term view and has some plans that look pretty good.

Zhu Xiongying started to deal with political affairs. After leaving Beiping for almost three months, Zhu Xiongying has a lot of things to do now.Although many things were done by the civil and military people who stayed behind, or were sent to Ying Tianfu, there are still a lot of things backlogged, and now they all need to be dealt with by Zhu Xiongying.

The construction of the imperial city, the establishment of the capital in Beiping, or the local government affairs, as well as the local affairs of the several state capitals under Zhu Xiongying's jurisdiction.These are all Zhu Xiongying needs to deal with, and there is no delay.

Glancing at Huang Zicheng, Zhu Xiongying asked, "Are those students from the barbarians making progress?"

Huang Zicheng immediately stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, those students have admired the Central Plains culture for a long time, and are now diligently studying. Although those students have poor foundations, the most indispensable thing in our Zijian is Confucianism."

That's okay, Zhu Xiongying really doesn't expect those students from the barbarians to take the Jinshi exam.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying said, "Remember, those people are from foreign barbarians, and it's normal that they don't understand my Ming customs. Just guide them well, and don't treat them harshly."

The reason for mentioning this is mainly because the current Daming is not friendly to students.Corporal punishment is normal. Every year in Yingtianfu, some students cannot bear the pressure and commit suicide. This is not a joke, it is a fact.

Naturally, Huang Zicheng also understood this. In the Guozijian in Yingtianfu, there were indeed many students who were forced to study.

But in the Guozijian in Beiping, there is no need to treat some students so strictly, because they are not expected to take the number one scholar exam, and they are not expected to become great Confucian scholars.

Glancing at Li Jinglong, Zhu Xiongying said, "Cousin, remember to purge the frontier army. You should work hard these days. My Ming cavalry has improved over the years, but compared with those Tatars, it is still a little worse. .”

Li Jinglong immediately took the order, full of confidence, "I will take the order, and I will definitely clean up the soldiers and horses, and train the cavalry diligently!"

The cavalry must be trained well, and at this time, the cavalry must also be trained to be stronger.The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are still relatively strong. Even though the living environment of some tribes in Mongolia is relatively harsh and the people's livelihood is even more messy, it does not mean that they have lost their threat.

Continuous pressure and continuous blockade are Lao Zhu's strategy, and these are some of Zhu Xiongying's strategies.

Under such circumstances, it is not just about continuously weakening the strength of the opponent.What is more needed is to study hard and strengthen your own strength, so that you can continue to suppress those nomadic peoples, drive them to further places, or directly eliminate and assimilate them, but they cannot be slowed down.

After carefully asking about some craftsmen, Zhu Xiongying was not particularly disappointed.

Gunpowder has not been greatly improved, and there has been no progress in firearms research, etc. Zhu Xiongying is not in a hurry.Such a thing cannot be done overnight. He needs to continuously invest in resources and cultivate talents.

It's not bad, Zhu Xiongying is quite satisfied with many things, although it seems that he doesn't sit in charge.But most of the things are also under his control, and many things are unfolding in an orderly manner, which is naturally very good.

The young Zhu Xiongying felt that he couldn't be free either. When things in Peking were going well, Zhu Xiongying didn't forget that there were still a lot of things waiting for him in Tianjin.This naturally means that he needs to put in more effort, and he must also pay more attention to things in Tianjin at this time.

After all, it is the water transportation center, and now it is also a base for supplies to Korea and Japan, so it cannot be treated carelessly.Even if Li Shanchang, an old Jianghu, is in charge there, Zhu Xiongying will not be careless, and he must be serious when he should be serious.

For Zhu Xiongying's arrival, Li Shanchang was not surprised at all, he greeted him politely, and reported to the official business.But at this time, Li Qi, the prefect in name, was more reporting on some situations.

As the son-in-law of Princess Lin'an, the eldest daughter of the old Zhu, Li Qi was very arrogant when he was young, probably because he was the son-in-law of Li Shanchang.So when Lao Zhu was sick, he would not visit him, probably because he had been used by Lao Zhu in the past.

But after almost exterminating his family, Li Qi became a lot more honest, and now he doesn't dare to be arrogant.Even if he was facing the grandson of the emperor, a junior in name, Li Qi did not dare to be disrespectful. This is probably a way of gaining wisdom, and setbacks really can train people the most.

Looking at the cautious Li Qi, Zhu Xiongying seemed to be very enthusiastic.It's just that he's quite satisfied in his heart, he definitely doesn't want to see a supercilious and arrogant uncle, Zhu Xiongying is also used to being respected by others.

After listening to the report carefully, Zhu Xiongying also rested in the magistrate's mansion.

As Lao Zhu's eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, Zhu Jingjing is actually quite worried.Because she is only a concubine, she is not really favored.What's more, the current embarrassing situation of her husband's family, Zhu Jingjing is naturally more cautious, at least when facing Zhu Xiongying, she will not pose as a big aunt.

Zhu Xiongying was sitting in the guest seat, mainly because Zhu Jing was sitting quietly in the main seat, after all, he was also an elder.

Looking at the two cousins, Li Fang and Li Mao, Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "What's the plan, cousin?"

Li Fang cupped his hands immediately, and replied cautiously, "Return to Your Highness, sinner..."

"Cousin, it's not right to say that." Zhu Xiongying waved his hand, pretending to be unhappy, and said, "Grandpa Huang values ​​family friendship the most. Even if a prince enters the court, he still needs to make family rituals. What's more, the cousin is innocent. , what crimes are you talking about?!"

Li Fang laughed dryly at this time, and said immediately, "I am guilty."

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Jingjing and said, "Auntie, I heard that my cousin is quite talented, and he is also quite talented under the careful training of Li Gong and uncle. If my aunt is willing, let my cousin go to Peiping with me. Now Peiping Shortage."

Zhu Jingjing looked at Li Shanchang and Li Qi, and smiled after they nodded, "Thank you for the cultivation of the emperor's grandson. I will entrust this useless boy to the grandson's care."

"My aunt is offended by saying that." Zhu Xiongying laughed and said, "My cousin shared my worries, and my nephew should thank my aunt and uncle."

Not only did Li Shanchang not believe what Zhu Xiongying said, but Zhu Jingjing also didn't believe it.But no matter what, this is an opportunity for Li Fang to stand out. After all, the Li family is in a difficult situation now, and there is no possibility of returning to the title.

But if Li Fang strives for success, maybe he can earn some family fortune!
