Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 280 Foresight
Empress Ma's birthday is here, and this is naturally no small matter.Even if Empress Ma is gone, there will still be the preparations that should be made, and there will definitely be activities that should be made, and the scale is not small.

After all, Empress Ma has a special status, and even with Lao Zhu here, many people need to pay special attention to and remember him at this time.

Zhu Yunying's status is special, and Zhu Wenyin's status is also very special. Both of them are standing behind Lao Zhu in a crown suit.One is the current emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the other is the future emperor of Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows this truth very well.

So even some princes don't care about seniority at all at this time.Whether it's Zhu Yunying's elders or Zhu Wenyin's elders, it doesn't make much sense. They are just princes, and they have no possibility of being far from the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Everyone knows this truth very well.

Lao Zhu was a little sad. Although he had a lot of children and grandchildren, the people closest to him were gone.

After burning the incense, Lao Zhu waved his hand and said, "After burning the incense for your mother and the emperor's grandmother, it's all gone. The emperor went to deal with the affairs of the court, and everyone else went back. Everyone is gone, and now it's okay to say this." It's boring."

Zhu Yunying nodded, and then said, "Grandfather, let the prince stay here, you teach him more."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then said, "The queen should stay here too, and describe the ranking of your imperial grandmother."

Xu Miaoqing naturally understands this truth, she is the serious wife of the old Zhu family, and there are some things she can do with her status.Especially on Lao Zhu's side, he is extremely sensitive to the distinction between concubine and concubine, so naturally he needs to pay more attention to many things.

"Grandfather, Dad has sacrifices." Xiao Zhu, who was holding coal balls, was anxious, "My dad still has a coal stove."

Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing, he was in a good mood, "Your father is a good boy, and he will always remember what he promised your great-grandmother. We have briquettes and briquettes. Now these coal stoves are good, and the Beijing People are using it, and everyone in the world will be using it tomorrow.”

Zhu Yunying was a little proud, and said, "Our Institute of Engineering has done a lot of things, and this coal stove is good. Many people in Ming Dynasty can use it like this. Especially those in the city, they don't need to use it." Start the stove."

Not having to start a stove is a good thing, and burning less firewood is also a good thing.Although the charcoal burners or woodcutters seem to have lost some income, Daming also has a lot of coal shakers. In addition to some coolies in the coal mines of Daming, there are also some people who can make a living in the mines.

There is no new thing that appears, and many people completely lose their livelihoods.Especially now that briquettes and coal stoves cannot completely replace firewood and charcoal. At most, the people of Ming Dynasty have one more choice, which is a good thing.

There is no such thing as unsightly sacrifices. Honeycomb coals, coal stoves, including thick cotton clothes, etc., are all things to keep out of the cold.These are Zhu Yunying's promises to Empress Ma, to feed and clothe the people of Daming, he is doing pretty well now, and many things really give him some confidence and confidence.

Not breaking promises, this is why Zhu Yunying can feel proud, and Zhu Yunying does have some small pride.

The event of worshiping Queen Ma is over, and the next thing is naturally that everyone needs to do their own things well. Many people really can't relax at this time, and there are still many things to deal with.

The cabinet did not show up for the time being, or it could be said that the cabinet masters have no rights at all. This is a group of people who help Zhu Yunying with odd jobs and so on, and they basically have no way to deal with some things.

Zhu Yunying's mood is pretty good, and she won't be depressed all day because of Queen Ma's birthday.After all, Queen Ma has been away for more than ten years, and time is indeed the best medicine, which can heal some pains in many people's hearts.

"The blunderbuss still needs to be improved, and the power of the grenade also needs to be strengthened." Zhu Yunying looked at the report of the Institute of Engineering, rubbed his chin and said to himself, "It's okay, although the current grenade is just the sound of explosion, the lethality is relatively limited , but it’s pretty good.”

Playing with the short blunderbuss, Zhu Yunying aimed at the entrance of the Hall of Martial Arts, "It's a bit like a modern gun, and the flintlock is basically a bit of a shadow. This is a good thing, and I will probably be able to line up to shoot in the future. It may take a little while to deal with the cavalry It’s a bit difficult, but it will come in handy when we go to fight the southern territory.”

While continuously investing some resources, a lot of manpower and material resources, Zhu Yunying also gave constructive opinions and research directions based on his own foresight.

These are things that Zhu Yunying feels a little proud of. It seems that he has indeed done a lot of things and made some small achievements.

The improvement of military supplies and military capabilities is not just the improvement of firearms, but also the greater use of coal and more research on ironware. These are the reasons for Zhu Yunying's pride.

Liberal arts students and those who study marketing are not necessarily useless.At most, Zhu Yunying has no way to directly tackle technical problems in some technologies, but he can organize manpower and material resources to let people go directly to public relations.

Wang Chengen carefully put the firecracker into the box, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Your Majesty, firearms are dangerous things, so it's better not to play with them."

"You old idiot, our firearm is not filled with gunpowder!" Zhu Yunying couldn't help but laughed and said, "This thing can't be fired now, and what's more, the ones that were sent to me were carefully selected, so it's not that easy. Burst."

Naturally, Wang Chengen also knew this, and he also knew that Daming's firearms were much better now, and compared with the previous firearms, there were fewer bombings.It's just that this thing still makes people feel more worried. Not only Wang Chengen is worried, but some soldiers who use firearms are also worried.

For example, in Zhu Yunying's reformed Shenji Camp, batch after batch of firearms were replaced, and some firearms were eliminated. A large part of the reason was that some of his concepts were changing.

Considering the fatigue of some firearms such as firearms, etc., it will not be reimbursed and replenished until the bomb is used, which also makes many soldiers of the Shenji Battalion a little more at ease, otherwise they will worry about bombing things.After all, many soldiers were killed or killed by bombing, and this is what the firearms soldiers who use firearms fear most.

Zhu Yunying seemed to remember something, and asked, "Where are those cannon notes now?"

"Master, the artillery can't get on the ship." Wang Chengen immediately understood, and said to Zhu Yunying, "A few days ago, someone from the shipyard sent a booklet. After firing a few shots, the keel of the ship was damaged and could not withstand the big storm."

Zhu Yunying also felt a little depressed, and the restructuring of the artillery was also being upgraded.Daming now has a lot of cannons defending the city, all of which are bronze cannons with relatively large calibers.

Just wanting field battles and siege artillery, this is a little bit worse.The current cannons are generally relatively large in tonnage, and it is really inconvenient to transport them out at this time. It is also inconvenient to use powerful artillery to attack cities and seize territories when they want to cover a large area.

As for Zhu Yunying's desire to install the artillery on the ship, that's certainly true.It's just that the artillery on the current ship is generally relatively small in caliber.The most important thing is that the current artillery fires are generally solid bullets.

The direction of continuing research and development is naturally to improve the durability of the artillery, including the improvement of the shells. The power of the shells needs to be further improved. This is the firearm that Zhu Yunying is looking forward to.

And once developed to that level, Zhu Yunying will be able to "push" with great pride. At that time, maybe his eyes will not only take back some places in the Western Regions, but not just look at the nomads to drive them further north. , or brought many places in Nanyang into the territory.

"Maybe after a while, I can also consider arranging a few skirmishes." Zhu Yunying lazily looked at the world map he had drawn, "Although it is not accurate, but there is a general appearance. I have to find a way to organize Let’s sail the ocean once, let’s forget about traveling around the world.”

Traveling around the world is out of the question, and it seems that there is no need to include Australia in the territory now. Daming's current territory is large enough, and the people are not particularly large, so there is no need to include Australia in the territory immediately.

But ocean voyages are necessary, and crops such as corn, potatoes, or peppers also need to be continuously improved.

Zheng He's voyages to the West almost happened at the same time in history, and Zhu Yunying was a little over ten or twenty years earlier.Without the internal friction of the Jingnan Battle, Ming's national power would be even stronger.

Traveling to the west is no longer to promote the prestige of the country, or to find the so-called Emperor Jianwen, etc. Zhu Yunying is a more practical person.What he wants is to find out some details about Nanyang and bring more good things to Daming, or try to discover the 'New World' and bring back some good things.

As a far-sighted person, Zhu Yunying sometimes feels that he is quite tired, probably because his vision is too long-term, and he wants to do a lot of things well in an all-round way.

After dealing with the government affairs of the day, Zhu Yunying returned to the East Palace, ready to take a rest.

Lian Qiongqiong felt warmer, because her husband came over and was teasing her daughter.

Little Zhu Ruyi was lying on Zhu Yunying's chest, and the fat little guy was holding Zhu Yunying's face with both hands, drooling uncontrollably.

Seeing the cuteness of her precious daughter, Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing, "It is said that children tend to drool if they kiss too much, but I don't kiss too much. Why do I still like to drool so much?"

Lian Qiongqiong smiled and said to Zhu Yunying, "His Royal Highness also likes to tease Ruyi the most. As long as His Royal Highness comes over, he will definitely want to hug and kiss Ruyi."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help but kissed Zhu Ruyi's fleshy face fiercely, and said proudly, "Yes, my princess is so cute, I can't help but want to kiss her. Ruyi, call me daddy?"

Zhu Ruyi laughed childishly, then laid her head on Zhu Yunying's chest.This also made Zhu Yunying even happier. Sometimes there is a difference between a son and a daughter. Little Zhu was not always caring when he was a child.

Said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Xiao Zhu ran over in a hurry.Seeing his father hugging his sister, Xiao Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately became a little unhappy, which can be regarded as a child's nature.

Little Zhu, who came slowly, hardly had any hidden thoughts, or in other words, there was no way to hide his thoughts from the eyes of adults, and they were completely seen.

"Let's hug you too, that's fine." Zhu Yunying hugged Xiao Zhu and said with a smile, "You are our eldest son, the son we value most. Ruyi is your younger sister and your father's eldest daughter , should also be held."

Xiao Zhu immediately became happy, but she was still bargaining, "If you hug your younger sister, you should also hug Yin'er."

A child's possessiveness is like this. He may not need his parents to hug him, but he definitely doesn't like his parents to hug other children.Sometimes even younger brothers and sisters can't do it, they will be unhappy and jealous.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew what little Zhu was thinking, and she didn't feel unhappy.Holding my son and daughter in my arms, I really feel warmer.With this pair of children, he really felt some changes in his mind and mentality.

As if remembering something, Zhu Yunying asked with a smile, "Yin'er, why are you here today? Did you miss your sister?"

Little Zhu shook her head, and then remembered the business, "Father, mother is looking for you."

Zhu Yunying was stunned for a moment, and then got up, "Come on, let's go out and see what your mother wants from me. Qiongqiong, follow along."

Xu Miaoqing usually doesn't come to practice Qiongqiong's bedroom, she has her own bedroom, she is the queen of the palace.As for the fact that there is no need to stage things like sisterhood, she is the queen, and that is enough, and the others are all 'concubines'.

Seeing Zhu Yunying hugging her son and daughter from left to right, Xu Miaoqing immediately smiled and said, "My concubine congratulates Your Majesty, Mrs. Wang is pregnant."

Zhu Yunying became happy, glanced at the Wang family who was also happy, and said, "That's a good thing. A while ago, Grandpa Huang said that our heirs are a bit weak. By the way, did you send someone to announce the good news to Grandpa Huang?"

Xu Miaoqing immediately replied, "Of course the concubine dared not delay. After being diagnosed in the imperial hospital, the concubine sent someone to report the good news to the emperor's grandpa."

Such a good thing naturally needs to be reported, but Zhu Yunying looked at Xu Miaoqing and teased, "Why are you not pregnant again? If we say that we rest with you the most, we should also fill in Yin'er as a younger brother and sister, just like We also have the second child, Zhu Er, and Xi Er."

Xu Miaoqing is a little shy, her husband is sometimes so thick-skinned, and it seems that he doesn't know how to be shy at all.

There is really no need to be shy, anyway, in his own palace, Zhu Yunying really doesn't think there is anything to be shy about.The most important thing is that Zhu Yunying really thinks that the queen should have another heir!
