Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 63
Zhu Xiongying, who got up in the morning, washed up under the service of the maid, and watched the bleak autumn wind outside the window, but still wrapped her cloak tightly.

Wang Chengen trotted to the outside of the Longfu Palace. The guards were ready. Today, the emperor's grandson is going to make an inspection tour, to see the residences of these craftsmen, to see the residences of these craftsmen, and to see the lives of these craftsmen.

In fact, things like building a capital cannot be built overnight, and it is normal to spend ten or twenty years.

For example, Yingtian Mansion, with a population of nearly 200 million, is still under construction for more than 20 years.But building Beiping as the capital is just the beginning.

A large number of artisans have come here, and the people need to be relocated to enrich Beiping; refugees from all over the country, wealthy households from the south of the Yangtze River, and businessmen from Shanxi have been forcibly moved into Beiping. There are many things to do next.

Next, the palace and city walls need to be built, and it is necessary to go to all parts of the country to mine precious wood and stone.These preparations will take a lot of time, and then it will be necessary to fire the square bricks specially used for royal buildings - gold bricks...

These preparations cannot be done overnight, and all of this will take too much time.

Not surprisingly, Zhu Xiongying might live in Peiping permanently in the next five or ten years.If Beiping does not have a certain scale, it will definitely not move the capital immediately. It will take a certain amount of time to get things done.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying looked relatively calm. Looking at the slightly depressed Beiping, Zhu Xiongying also felt that the current Beiping was not only a little depressed, but also that the atmosphere of a military center was too strong.

This is to blame his father-in-law. In the first year of Hongwu, Xu Da conquered the capital of Yuan Dynasty, and then moved some residents of the city to Kaifeng, destroyed the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, and built Jingshan on the old site.In order to facilitate defense, the northern city wall was moved to the south, and the originally prosperous capital of the Yuan Dynasty capital became a relatively deserted northern border city.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Jingshan and smiled. The famous Jingshan is Meishan.Of course, it is not the name now. It was called Qingshan in the Yuan Dynasty and Jingshan in the Qing Dynasty.Now, because there is a lot of coal piled up, it is a mountain of coal.

The officials of the Sitianjian introduced Jingshan enthusiastically. It is located on the central axis of the whole city, and it is also a barrier to the north of the imperial palace. Therefore, Feng Shui masters call it "Zhenshan".

Zhu Xiongying suddenly became interested, because this place is so tall and majestic, with lush trees and magnificent scenery, it is the best place in Beiping City to climb a height and enjoy the scenery of the whole city.Therefore, the planning here also needs to become a royal garden.

"Meishan is not allowed to have locust trees, but more evergreen pine trees." Zhu Xiongying didn't have so many explanations, and said directly, "Wang Chengen, pay more attention to this side. If there are locust trees, then you will look good!"

Although he didn't understand why His Royal Highness Taisun said that, Wang Chengen said without hesitation, "Your servant takes orders."

No locust trees are allowed in Meishan, Zhu Xiongying gave an order, even though many people did not understand the reason, but it did not affect them to resolutely carry out such an order. The etiquette system does not affect the scenery of Meishan.

Zhu Xiongying smiled, maybe other people didn't understand some of his thoughts, but Zhu Xiongying knew it in his heart.

However, Zhu Xiongying also felt that if he succeeds to the throne, it is likely that the fourth uncle's family will ascend to the throne.When the time comes, the Great Ming God of War, the Great Meishan Emperor, the Carpenter Emperor, and the Taoist Emperor will definitely not appear.

Looking at these craftsmen, Zhu Xiongying is quite satisfied, and he will not demand the treatment of these craftsmen according to the standards of future generations, which is also unrealistic.

After taking a brief look at Meishan, Zhu Xiongying didn't stay idle, and continued to confirm the matter of the imperial city.This really doesn't require him to worry too much. Based on Yingtianfu Imperial City, Zhu Xiongying only needs to make sure that there is no problem with the general direction.

Zhu Xiongying, who is in a good mood, has been busy for half a month. In addition to arranging some personnel, he is also dealing with some military and political affairs, including that he also needs to visit the frontier army and the craftsmen now, so he can't be free at all. .

At this time, Zhu Xiongying also admired his grandpa more and more. Not everyone is a workaholic like Lao Zhu, and not everyone can handle such high-intensity work.

Zhu Xiongying feels that he is under some pressure now, and also feels that he wants to be a good emperor, which is really not an easy task.

Sannomiya Sixth Court and the like, or absurdity and so on, it's not that easy.Diligence seems to be the most basic requirement if you want to be a Mingjun. It is not an easy task, and the pressure is not small.

Generally speaking, Zhu Xiongying's mood is pretty good, the main reason is that although he seems to be relatively busy now, his life is relatively steady.

It is true that things are complicated, but Zhu Xiongying can also feel that he has indeed made a lot of progress during this period of time. In such tedious work, he has more training and improvement.

This is how Zhu Xiongying feels now. He also feels that he is relatively at ease in his heart. The main reason is that in such a period of time, Zhu Xiongying has made a lot of progress and improvement, and he can feel that he and his subordinates Civil and military contact, with a greater understanding.

Although it is true that he is the grandson of the emperor, he does have some dignitaries and the focus of civil and military attention, but Zhu Xiongying is also very clear that he still needs to have more experience and "knowledge of people" .

Exercise well, slowly and steadily take over a series of affairs in Beiping, this is what Zhu Xiongying is doing now, which also makes him feel that time passes relatively quickly.

Winter in the north also comes earlier, and Zhu Xiongying himself only left Yingtianfu in autumn, and it was almost winter when he arrived in Beiping.Looking at the heavy snow outside, Zhu Xiongying let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little worried.

Although there are briquettes and firewood now, it's just that this winter is indeed relatively cold.

"Cotton, no one likes to grow cotton now." Zhu Xiongying sighed and said, "This stuff keeps you warm, but it doesn't make you hungry. People who are afraid of starvation want to grow more food."

For food, Liaodong is now back, but Liaodong is still relatively remote. This is not Beidacang now, and the development here is relatively rudimentary.

Zhu Xiongying, who was sitting in the study, looked at the map, and then said, "Someone ask Duke Song and Duke Liang where the prisoners captured in the Northern Expedition are now, and draw up a list for me."

Naturally, Wang Chengen took the order immediately, but he didn't need to ask for the orders in person for such news, it must be the people under his hands who passed the news.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, and said to himself, "My grandfather likes to kill prisoners, and my grandfather is a tyrant in the eyes of many people. Now it's my turn. I guess I will have to talk about it in the future." I don't practice benevolence."

After thinking about it, Zhu Xiongying just shook his head. There is no need to care about such things. He is a realist, so naturally he doesn't think about so many things.

The most important thing is to maximize the benefits, or it can be said that the current Zhu Xiongying is more concerned about gaining fame.

Zhu Xiongying really doesn't care about such things as benevolent, tyrant, faint or wise.What he hopes more is to be like his grandpa, holding power and controlling the court, this is the most important thing.

As for other things, in Zhu Xiongying's eyes, it is really just a false name, and there is really no need to care too much.In the face of absolute power, many things do not need to worry about at all.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not like the middle and late Ming Dynasty.Not to mention that the Wuxun Group made the civil servants breathless, even the Wuxun Group did not dare to breathe in front of Lao Zhu.

Zhu Xiongying still has a lot to do. The land of Liaodong is the focus of his attention next. He is not just here to be a mascot in Beiping, but simply to build the capital. The tens of thousands of troops in his hands are not just a display. It's not meant to be a joke!
