Chapter 543 All Nations Come to DPRK
Li Huan just smiled lightly and said: "There are many gold and silver mines in the country of Japan, and the annual output of one million taels of silver is nothing more than nothing. Besides, how can I speak nonsense about such matters without investigation."

If it was just half-believing before, then when Li Huan said this, all the officials present believed it.
Not to mention other things, at least Li Huan's reputation has been quite good all the time. If Li Huan said so, it means that the country of Wa will definitely be able to produce millions of taels of gold and silver every year.

Thinking of this, all the officials present showed joy.

An official stroked his beard and exclaimed: "If we had known this earlier, we should have taken the land of the Wa country early. Just by mining, we can get millions of gold and silver every year. What a good thing this is for the country and the people." ah."

All the officials retreated, and in the imperial study room, more than a dozen important court officials, including the cabinet ministers and the five military governors' offices, gathered together.

The Son of Heaven sat on the throne, looked at the crowd with a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, Li Qing went to the Wa Kingdom this time, so how should the imperial court deal with the Wa Kingdom next time, do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone was silent for a while after hearing the words, after all, this is not a trivial matter, one must think carefully before expressing an opinion.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Wang Yangming, who was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and said, "Wang Aiqing, tell me?"

Wang Yangming was called by the emperor, stepped forward and bowed to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the country of Wa is not far away from my Ming Dynasty, and it is not close. It has been deeply influenced by my Central Plains civilization for thousands of years. It can be said that if my dynasty is In fact, it is not very difficult to incorporate it into the territory. It will not take many years to assimilate it and completely incorporate it into the territory. Therefore, I would like to ask you to divide the Wa Kingdom, divide the provinces, prefectures and counties, and make it bathe in the king and belong to me. The Central Plains is orthodox."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked at the rest of the people, and saw that everyone showed approval, and obviously believed that Wang Yangming's suggestion was the most suitable choice at present.

Finally Zhu Houzhao turned to Li Huan and said, "What does Li Qing think?"

Li Huan said with a smile: "What Wang Ge said is very true, and I agree with it very much."

Seeing that Li Huan and Wang Yangming, the two confidant ministers, had the same opinion, Zhu Houzhao immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, since that's the case, this matter will be handled by the cabinet, and the cabinet will come up with a charter."

Wang Yangming and others heard the words, stepped forward and respectfully accepted the order.

Qin State Duke's Mansion
When Li Huan returned to the mansion, all relatives headed by Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin opened the middle door to welcome Li Huan back.

I saw Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin with their big bellies, and they looked like they might give birth at any moment.

Li Huan looked at the crowd with a smile, and when they entered the hall, Li Fengshi glanced at Li Huan and said, "Huan'er, this time you return to the court, you probably won't leave in a short time."

When Li Feng said this, the eyes of Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin couldn't help falling on Li Huan.

Li Huan naturally understood why Li Fengshi asked such a question, and said with a smile: "As long as there is no major event happening next, it is unlikely that I will leave Beijing."

Li Fengshi heard the words and said: "There are so many adults in the court, even if there are some things, some of them are handled by others. It's not good to have to trouble you, the Duke, for everything. It seems that the Ming Dynasty will leave you. It’s like not being able to do anything.”

Li Huan couldn't help smiling wryly. Obviously, Li Feng was treating him as soon as he went out for more than half a year, and he hardly had time to accompany the pregnant two daughters Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin.

Apologetically, he glanced at the two daughters Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin, stretched out his hand and patted their hands, and said, "It's hard for the two ladies, and I will stay in Beijing for my husband and not go out again."

The 15th day of the twelfth lunar month in the [-]th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty
The huge Duke Qin's mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere. Li Huan, the Duke of Qin, was seen standing in the courtyard, while screams came from the room in front.

I saw a famous maid coming in and out with hot water. It was the day when the two daughters Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin gave birth.

Even with Li Huan's concentration in the past, he was a little restless at the moment.

After several generations of the Li family, the direct lineage can be described as a single lineage, and the family heirs are not prosperous. It can be said that since Zhu Lin and Zhang Jin were pregnant, the whole of the Duke's Mansion is looking forward to the birth of the next generation of the young master of the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, Li Fengshi personally accompanied Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin, going in and out of the room where the two women were staying from time to time.

I don't know how long it has passed, but with the sound of loud and clear crying, Li Huan's spirit was immediately refreshed, and he saw Li Feng holding a baby wrapped in brocade quilts in his arms and said to Li Huan: "Huan'er, it's a baby!" Boy, the Li family has a queen."

Here, Zhang Jin gave birth to an heir smoothly, but it was just a cup of tea time. Zhu Lin also gave birth to an heir smoothly, also a boy.

Suddenly there are two more grandchildren, Li Fengshi is so happy, with tears in his eyes, if he is not busy taking care of the two daughters-in-law, Li Fengshi may have gone to the Li Family Ancestral Hall to comfort the Li family ancestors .

In less than half a day, the news that Li Huan of the Duke of Qin's mansion had a son spread like spreading wings, and immediately attracted many officials and nobles to come to congratulate him with congratulatory gifts.

We must know that although Li Huan said that he was the Duke of Qin, he could be regarded as the most favored nobleman in the Zhengde Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, but Li Huan has no heirs after his death, which is not a big problem.

Although it is said that Li Huan is only in his thirties, and there is no problem in living for another few decades, but as long as he has no heirs, it means that the Duke of Qin has no inheritance.

Now that Li Huan has two sons at once, this means that the glory of the Duke of Qin has been inherited. Even if something happens to Li Huan in the future, the Duke of Qin will have a successor. Only when the government's glory authority is completely stabilized.

In less than half a day, many dignitaries and even many officials from the DPRK came to congratulate the door one after another, making the front of Li's mansion very crowded.

A carriage stopped slowly, and Qiu Ju, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, hurried forward and opened the curtain, and saw a figure walking out of the carriage, whoever it was today.

Next to the emperor is a child. The child is not very old, but he is somewhat similar to Zhu Houzhao. He is Zhu Zaikun, the eldest son of the current emperor.

The Son of Heaven looked at the officials and nobles who entered and left the Duke of Qin's mansion, and couldn't help but smile a little: "It seems that I'm a bit late."

When the servant guarding the gate of Duke Qin's mansion saw the emperor, his eyes were wide open, and he recognized the emperor at a glance.

If it is said that the servants of other officials' families would not be able to recognize the emperor nine out of ten, but Li Huan was a frequent visitor to the Li residence, so that even the servants of Duke Qin's residence were so impressed with the emperor that they recognized the emperor at a glance.

The servant immediately ran into Tongbing, while the emperor took the prince and walked towards Duke Qin's mansion.

Because of recognizing the identity of the Son of Heaven, no one would stop the Son of Heaven and his party from entering the mansion.

Here Li Huan was quite surprised when he heard the news of the emperor's visit, but he rushed over as soon as possible. When he saw the emperor from a distance, he stepped forward to salute the emperor and said: "Your Majesty is here, and I am not far away to welcome you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Accompanying Li Huan to greet the emperor were Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and other dignitaries and officials. Everyone was obviously taken aback by the emperor's presence. The ability for the emperor to come in person at the first time is enough to show that Li Huan was in the emperor's presence. position in mind.

Zhu Houzhao waved his big hand to signal the crowd to stand up and said with a smile: "I heard that Aiqing is happy to have Lin'er, so I came here to congratulate you. The Qing family don't blame me for coming here without invitation."

Li Huan hurriedly said: "It's an honor for your majesty to come. It's too late to be grateful. How dare you blame your majesty."

Zhu Zaikun on the side stepped forward and bowed to Li Huan and said: "Zhu Zaikun pays homage to the Grand Tutor."

When the son of heaven canonized the prince, Li Huan was naturally canonized as the prince and tutor, with the duty of teaching the prince.

Welcoming the emperor into the hall, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a smile and said, "Li Qing is happy to have Lin'er. I know that the Duke of Qin's government doesn't have any needs for gold, silver and jewelry. Today, in front of everyone, I will favor Li Qing." The two Lin'er should be the commander of Jin Yiwei!"

For ministers with meritorious service, the imperial court often favors their parents, wives and children. With Li Huan's meritorious service, no matter Li Feng's family, his wife Zhu Lin, and Zhang Jin have no way to show favor, so it is naturally best to be Li Huan's heir However, the object of grace, the Emperor Zhaoxian's favor towards Li Huan remains the same as before.

Ordinary meritorious ministers, if they can get the emperor's grace and a thousand households of Jinyiwei, they are already a holy family, but now the emperor is Enyin, and Li Huan's two sons are the commanders of the Jinyiwei. How many people are envious of this favor? .

Amidst the envy of all the officials, Li Huan hurriedly thanked the emperor.

Daming Zhengde 16th Year Spring
In the past 15 years of Zhengde, everything went smoothly, as if even God was blessing Daming.

A fast boat from Tianjinwei came back from Nanyang and landed, and then changed to a fast horse and galloped all the way to Beijing, bringing Nanyang [-] Li urgently.

At the time of the Great Court Meeting, when the eight hundred miles from Nanyang was urgently sent to the cabinet, the officials who stayed behind immediately sent it to the palace.

In front of hundreds of officials, Zhang Huai, the commander of the capital of the Nanyang Province, led the Nanyang Navy Fleet to defeat the Xiyi Allied Forces in the first battle, sunk and injured hundreds of enemy ships, and captured hundreds of ships. It was World War I that stabilized Ming's rule over the Nanyang provinces.

Ever since knowing the news that Xiyi had ulterior motives for Nanyang Province, the imperial court has been paying attention to the movement of Nanyang Province. If Li Huan hadn't said that having Zhang Huai in charge of Nanyang Province would ensure everything would be safe, the imperial court would have mobilized troops and horses Stationed in Southeast Asia.

Now that the good news came, the whole court was overjoyed and at the same time heaved a long sigh of relief.

We must know that after these years of development, Nanyang's feedback to Daming has become stronger and stronger, especially in terms of grain. A large amount of grain was transported back to Daming, which greatly eased the food crisis of Daming.

After this battle, the western countries saw the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, changed their strategies one after another, and even sent many missions to the south to visit Beijing.

In the spring of the 17th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, more than a dozen missions from the West, including Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, England and other large and small western maritime powers, landed in Tianjinwei under the escort of the Daming Navy Fleet.

The dozens of envoys with a total of hundreds of people were naturally stunned by the scene of the bustling Tianjin Wei port.

In this era, Ming Dynasty is still at the forefront of world civilization. In the perception of Westerners, Ming Dynasty in the East deserves to be a powerful country in the East.

But being famous is not as good as getting to know each other. Now the first impression in Tianjin Wei Port has made everyone in the envoys amazed.

After leaving the port, I rode in a very spacious carriage and drove on the spacious and flat concrete road. There were big trees every few feet on the flat concrete road and the roadside, stretching into the distance, invisible at a glance. the end.

Not to mention anything else, just such a road caused the envoys to fall into shock again. They had never seen such a smooth road, and each of them poked their heads out to look at everything outside, as if the flat road What secrets does the road contain.

It took only half a day for the envoys to arrive at the capital. Today's capital has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Whether it's city walls or roads, when the imperial treasury is full, it is natural to allocate a lot of money and food to repair the capital.

Naturally, great changes have taken place in the capital. The city walls are still made of blue bricks instead of cement. Even the roads in the capital are paved with bluestone strips. A solemn and heavy breath came over his face.

Of course, the streets in the capital are much cleaner and tidy than before. After all, when there is no road, the drainage system is still a toilet that can be repaired every mile. In addition, the newly established subordinate urban sanitation department of Wucheng Bingma Division The yamen recruited a large number of people to maintain the sanitation of the city, making the capital look brand new, and there were no stinky ditches or other mosquito-flying garbage dumps at all.

All of this is naturally Li Huan's suggestion. After all, Li Huan knows that in this era of a big city with a population of over one million, if the sanitation is not done well, a careless one may cause a big plague. I don't know how many people will die for this.

After all, if Li Huan remembered correctly, in the late Ming Dynasty, a great plague broke out in the capital, killing and injuring almost half of the city's population.

Under such circumstances, it took several years to finally have a completely new side of the Great Ming Capital.

After entering the capital, a group of these missions from the West saw the clean and tidy environment and the bustling scene, which only made the missions gasp in amazement, and some even called heaven. in this way.

After all, in the west of this era, even those well-known cities that can gather 10,000+ people are already big cities. The most important thing is that the living environment of these cities is called dirty and messy. In contrast, the envoys In the eyes of these people, the Imperial Palace of Ming Dynasty is the real paradise.
