Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 98 The task of the emperor's grandson
I was a little caught off guard, mainly because Da Zhu seemed to be ill, which made Zhu Xiongying feel caught off guard.

It is estimated that Lao Zhu was a little caught off guard at this time. This time when Zhu Xiongying came to Tianjin, Lao Zhu did not just simply miss his grandson.For Lao Zhu, he was also a little nervous and worried after receiving the secret report.

Although the affairs of Japan and Korea are important, the construction of Beiping is indeed very important.But in Lao Zhu's heart, his precious son is the most important thing, and this is also a key reason why he is eager to return to Peiping now.

Zhu Xiongying, who was preoccupied, did not rush back to Peiping immediately. He still needs to stay in Tianjin to sit in charge.Now that Lao Zhu responded to Tianfu, the task of sitting in the water transportation center is in Zhu Xiongying's hands.Especially the Iwami area has basically been laid down, and the mining of silver mines is about to start, so we can't lose the chain at this time.

Although the matter of Beiping is very important, in Zhu Xiongying's eyes, there are also some priorities.

Even if Beiping was built in a leisurely manner, there was still time, but Koryo and Dongying were different. They had to be taken down and stabilized immediately.There should be no troubles in these places. Since Yingtian Mansion is relatively far away, Zhu Xiongying will be in Tianjin.

It's in Tianjin, Zhu Xiongying thinks it's necessary, anyway, it's not far from Beiping, and many things are going smoothly.You don't need to keep an eye on it all the time, and Zhu Xiongying doesn't dare to move too much if he stays on Tianjin's side for the time being.

Freedom is not so free in many cases, even though Zhu Xiongying seems to have a lot of power in his hands.

Although he was a little worried, Zhu Xiongying still felt that he needed to do something well.Now he needs to guard the north, not only needs to consider the construction of Beiping, but also needs to consider the consolidation of some territories in Japan and Korea.

"It's autumn, I have to think about the rainy weather." Zhu Xiongying muttered to himself, looking at the raindrops outside and planning, "I remember seeing Qin Zhidao when I was walking on the grassland, this matter can be considered. "

Qin Zhidao is not joking, it has been more than [-] years, but in Inner Mongolia, Qin Zhidao is still valuable.

As for Beiping and Tianjin, Zhu Xiongying felt that apart from other things, the road from Beiping to Tianjin must be repaired.Because Beiping in the future will definitely need more food and population, Tianjin's status as a transfer station for water transportation is also reflected, and there must be a good route here.

"Criminals in prison can't eat for nothing, they should work." Zhu Xiongying rubbed his chin, his hairy beard grew a little, "It's better to work for me than sitting and sleepy in prison. Reform through labor, and reform through labor in the future.”

Such cheap labor must be considered. It is said that there will be some factories in future prisons.It’s fine if you don’t starve to death, or if you don’t die from exhaustion. Zhu Xiongying doesn’t have any psychological burden. He won’t treat those criminals too well, making people feel that going to jail is enjoyable, and such things don’t exist at all.

"I also need to consider some labor and so on. I don't plan to build the Great Wall now, so let me build roads." Zhu Xiongying continued to talk to himself, and said, "This matter still needs to be considered. To get rich, build roads first."

Getting rich but not getting rich, this is actually not the first thing Zhu Xiongying considers, or the importance of traffic arteries is too special.

I can't imagine Qin Zhidao for the time being, but the traffic arteries from Beiping to Tianjin must be considered in the future.Including the Qin Zhidao in Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Gansu, these can also be considered to be linked.

No matter what age, inconvenient transportation is a bad thing, especially for the unified dynasty, inconvenient transportation will naturally reduce their control over the place.

"Infrastructure madman, infrastructure is really too important." Zhu Xiongying smiled wryly, a little worried, "Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, Emperor Sui Yang built the Grand Canal, and maybe there will be another Emperor Zhu who builds roads across the country in the future. That's not right. , Emperor Zhu also said that my emperor's grandfather, the infamy will probably fall on him again."

Zhu Xiongying thought about it carefully. Since he wanted to build a road, the first thing he thought of was asphalt.But this is unrealistic, let's use cement.

However, Zhu Xiongying still doesn't know how to make cement.But he knows that there is already lime in this age, and there is a record of using lime in the seventh century BC in China.

"In the future, when there will be more money, we really need to consider expanding domestic demand." Zhu Xiongying sat in the study, constantly writing, drawing, and analyzing, "People in this era like to save silver and copper coins, and banks can't fiddle with them." There is no rush to make troubles now, but domestic demand must be expanded.”

The expansion of domestic demand often requires official power, and infrastructure construction seems to be a very good decision.

Building roads and practicing water conservancy are not only for the expansion of domestic demand, but also for a better life and farming for the people.In fact, the farming civilization in China, the tradition of farming civilization for thousands of years, cannot be changed overnight.

Zhu Xiongying was quite aware of this, and he was not in a hurry to eat a fat man in one go.

"The Siyiyuan of the Imperial College may be a trivial matter, but my basic science research department is the most important." Zhu Xiongying looked at the writing brush in his hand, in a daze, "Gunpowder needs to be made, and firearms need to be improved. Easy stuff."

It's better to mobilize the official power, Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as the official power now, he is the third person in Ming Dynasty.Although compared to the first two, Zhu Xiongying has much less power in his hands and can be easily controlled.

It's just that compared to other people, Zhu Xiongying has too much power in his hands, and his will is something that most people dare not violate.What's more, for Zhu Xiongying's plans, even if he doesn't have enough power, the two people in front of him will support them in most cases, which is enough power.

There are now [-] 'provinces' in the country, and Zhu Xiongying seems to be the Chief Secretary of Beiping.But Zhu Xiongying also understands that Beiping will soon be upgraded to 'Beizhili', which can be said to be the stable ruling area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of military affairs, places like the Liaodong Capital Division should also be considered. This will be the territory of the Northeast Chief Secretary in the future.The land there is now sparsely populated, and there are indeed some difficult developments there.

Let's take care of "Northern Zhili" first, Zhu Xiongying also feels that it is necessary to consider controlling some civil and military affairs here.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, it was governed according to the "three divisions". The procuratorial envoys were in charge of civil affairs, the command envoys were in charge of military affairs, and the procuratorial envoys were in charge of prisons.This is also Lao Zhu's mind, to set up these three officials at the local level so that they can separate powers, so as not to worry about the excessive power of local officials.

In the past, Zhu Xiongying was basically in charge of the capital command department, and did not intervene in civil affairs and justice, but it is different now.

"Tianjin will become a prefecture in the future, and if the prefect here is my man." Zhu Xiongying immediately laughed, "Three lives of misfortune, the county magistrate attaches to Guo; three lives of evil, attaches the provincial capital of Guo; full of evil, attaches Guo Jingcheng. In the future, the prefect of Beiping Prefecture, It should be mine too."

These two cities are too important, so Zhu Xiongying naturally needs to take them seriously.

Although this somewhat elevates Tianjin's status, Zhu Xiongying doesn't care, what he needs is to pay attention to Tianjin.Even if this is a new city, even if it looks more like a military town now, it still needs to be prepared in advance.

Setting the tone at the beginning is also convenient for many subsequent operations.

It's better to develop well, Zhu Xiongying knows that some things really can't be rushed, and many things are just at the beginning.It also means that there are a lot of clues, so he naturally needs to take it more seriously.

The grandson of the emperor of the feudal dynasty, the future successor of the Ming Empire, this also makes Zhu Xiongying feel that he needs to take on more responsibilities.He also needs to work hard on many things from now on.

"Shipyards, the north also needs shipyards." It's better to write a letter, and some boatmen need to be transferred from Yingtianfu. "The two big shipyards, one in the south and one in the north, are not enough. Fortunately, there are also shipyards in Fujian."

The restless Zhu Xiongying stood up, not knowing what was going on with Ying Tianfu.Now in my heart, there are really some drumming, making people feel restless.
