Daming heir

Time flies and it’s already the middle of the year.

The weather has been getting hotter. After Yingtian City experienced the abdication of the emperor, it did not have much impact, but it soon became lively again.

The old man moved out of Qianqing Palace and lived in Yangxin Palace.

All day long, he was with the ladies in the palace and his two great-grandsons who could already speak a little.

Regarding the arrangement of Zhu Yunxi, the deposed grandson of the emperor, there has never been any news in the court. Naturally, it is impossible to say when he will be named the second crown prince of the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the rules.

Zhu Biao became the Yongsheng Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no such thing as a general amnesty for the whole world or a tax exemption like the new kings in previous dynasties did when they came to the throne.

Emperor Yongsheng of the Ming Dynasty did not need to rely on these means to win over the people of the world.

Then there are naturally not many personnel adjustments above the court.

There are still the same number of people in the cabinet, and there have been no changes in the officials of the six departments, nine ministers and five temples in the court.

Everything remains the same.

It only made it clear that from now on in the Ming Dynasty, all cabinet ministers must have the title of Hanlin bachelor, and then be in charge of the six ministries, and then have experience as local officials before they can join the cabinet.

Later, Xie Jin received the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry because he was currently in charge of the construction of the Western Railway.

The returning fleet from the New World also arrived in Yingtian a few months ago.

The fleet just put down the people and goods at Longwan Pier, and then docked at the Longjiang Shipyard upstream.

According to the plan of the Ministry of Industry, these warships are to be upgraded to be more suitable for ocean voyages.

The new crop brought back quite a bit.

The Supervisor of Shanglinyuan was the happiest. For this reason, the young master even made a rare report to the court, hoping that the court would greatly reward these people who went to the New World.

Young Master's face must be given.

As a result, everyone in the New World was promoted to one level.

Then the imperial court prepared a larger expedition team, and only waited for the warships to be upgraded before setting sail again to the New Jinling City in the New World.

In the Central Plains, with the gradual disintegration of the chieftain system in the southwest, the imperial court continued to invest more resources to improve the situation and people's livelihood in the southwest.

People from the southwest were recruited and used to build roads across the southwest, connecting Huguang, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan, and opening up the entire southwest.

The imperial court now has plenty of money and food, and practice makes perfect in carrying out these major projects.

Fan Chong, who went to the border with him during the Northern Expedition, actually returned to Beijing after the war, and then took the goods organized by the imperial court to the land of Europa under the escort of the navy.

According to Fan Chong's test before leaving, as long as the court gave him the power to control the naval fleet, he could give Ming a large new territory in Europe.

However, the imperial court is still focusing on the Western Regions and is not interested in Europa, which is thousands of miles away and has never been seen before.

It is nothing to invest some resources, but it cannot form a rule. For the court, it is still too early.

However, Zhu Biao, who was still the crown prince at the time, waved his hand.

More than a thousand Jin Yiwei followed Fan Chong onto the fleet and headed for Europa.

Although the imperial court is not interested in Europa for the time being, it still needs to be understood in the early stage.

In Zhu Biao's heart, he still remembers the ball hidden inside the royal family.

……

"ball?"

"What ball?"

Zhu Gaochi was a little curious. He looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him and asked in confusion.

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes helplessly as he looked at Zhu Gaochi, who had skipped work from the tax office and came to Xicheng again and again.

He opened his hands and drew a big circle on his chest.

"It's just a round ball with Kanyu painted on it."

"Kanyu?" Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, then whispered: "Is it the theory of the round earth you translated?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then continued to look through the account book in front of him.

Zhu Gaochi leaned back, folded his arms behind his back and rested his head.

"This matter has not been proposed before. As long as the New World can continue to explore eastward and come back from the Western Region or Nanyang, it can be proved."

This time, the fleet from the New World came back and reported to the court. They were organizing manpower to continue exploring eastward to verify what the land under their feet looked like.

Does this world have an end?

When Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Yunxi was silent, he looked at him curiously: "That is to say...do you still have that ball here? I want to see it too."

Bang.

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Zhu Shangbing walked in from the outside.

"What kind of football? Watching football? What kind of football are you watching? Shouldn't you go to Jiaofangsi to watch football?"

Zhu Shangbing walked in while talking carelessly, sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea and poured it into his mouth.

Zhu Yunxi glanced sideways at Zhu Shangbing's unhidden red lips under his collar, and smiled knowingly: "Do you really want to imitate your second uncle?"

Zhu Shangbing is still pouring tons of water.

Zhu Gaochi curled his lips and said, "Sooner or later, he will live in the Ancestral Temple."

Zhu Shangbing had just finished drinking the water, wiped his mouth vigorously with his sleeve, and then continued: "I just walked from outside and saw that the food court has been decorated with lights, and the street lamps along the street are also being oiled. , does it mean it will open in the next two days?”

Zhu Yunxi put down the account book in his hand, nodded and said: "On the seventh day of July, the Xicheng project will be opened."

Zhu Gaochi on the side raised his eyes: "Chinese Valentine's Day? It's a good day. Is everything ready here?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, placed the account book in front of Zhu Gaochi, and walked out of the hospital.

Zhu Gaochi first took the account book, then lowered his head and opened it to check.

Zhu Yunxi had already opened the courtyard door and walked out.

Outside, after half a year of rush work, several important projects in the Xicheng project have been completed.

In terms of landscaping, everything that needs to be planted has been planted, but it will still take a few years to see the final effect.

Commercial districts are also seizing the time to decorate their interiors during this time.

On the other hand, the progress of the residential area around the scenic lake has been slower. The plots are just separated, and then the construction of landscape gardens is carried out between each plot.

The matter of selling land plots to external parties has only been put on the agenda recently, but there has been some reaction from the government and the people.

There are rumors that Huaiyou's meritorious deeds are already raising money. They are waiting for the land in the Xicheng residential area to go on sale, so they rush to buy it as soon as possible, and then let the construction team under the name of Daming Company start construction.

According to the estimates on the project, the residential area will not be completed until next year at the earliest, that is, one year in Yongsheng, and it will not be fully completed until two to three years in Yongsheng.

And now.

The most important thing is to put the real commercial system of Xicheng into operation.

For this reason, the Xicheng commercial supply chain, which has been promoted by Yingtianfu since last year, has begun to prepare.

Now it's time for inspection.

"So many chickens?"

"So many ducks?" "Where did these chickens come from? And these ducks?"

Zhu Gaochi took the account book and rushed out of the yard, his face full of disbelief.

This was the first time he saw so many chickens and ducks.

Zhu Yunxi said calmly: "There are millions of households in Yingtian Mansion. Even if one household raises ten chickens and ten ducks, it can have a supply of millions of chickens and ducks. Not to mention, the largest terminal of the Xicheng supply chain is still Shanglinyuan, over there A chicken farm can produce 100,000 chickens every six months. There are three such chicken farms, duck farms, and goose intestines in Shanglin Yuanjian each."

Zhu Gaochi's mind is now filled with the rows of numbers he just saw on the account book.

I couldn't help but shudder for a moment.

"Aren't you afraid of an epidemic?"

"In the past two years, Taiyuan Hospital has cooperated with Shanglin Yuanjian to develop several new insecticides and disease-killing drugs. And didn't Shanglin Yuanjian set up a disease clinic some time ago? If one is found, the whole village's poultry will be burned to the ground. If buried, Tianfu should pay compensation."

Zhu Yunxi said calmly.

These things had already been planned when it was proposed to deal with Tiancheng's supply chain surrounding the Xicheng project.

People raise poultry at home or plant vegetables in large areas, and the Xicheng project will have a special purchasing team to purchase them.

These raw materials will not be taxed. Taxes will only be collected on a per-acre basis for the cultivated plots, and the same rules apply.

The tax terminal is above the shops in the food city.

Zhu Gaochi held the account book in his hand and followed Zhu Yunxi, flipping through it constantly.

"Why are there mushroom purchases from Yunnan Road? And sea cucumbers from Liaodong Province? And here, there are actually ones from Qiongzhou Prefecture... What is this? Xiao Qinglong? What is this? "

As Zhu Gaochi flipped through, purchase accounts located all over the world appeared in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi was still calm and calm.

"It's just an attempt."

"Just like the mushrooms from Yunnan, I don't know if they can be kept fresh if they are brought with soil. On the contrary, the sea cucumbers from Liaodong and the green dragon from Qiongzhou can be kept fresh by freezing them."

Zhu Gaochi closed the account and frowned: "Why do you suddenly need to mobilize things from so many places?"

"It's just an attempt."

Zhu Yunxi said calmly, and then looked towards the roadside leading to the food city at the core of the Xicheng project.

There are rows of bamboo planted along the roadside.

It's just that bamboos all have one characteristic, and that is that they grow randomly.

In just half a year, several gaps had been cracked in the side courtyard wall.

"This bamboo forest needs to be controlled."

The steward who was in charge of this area nodded and said with a troubled expression: "I really can't control it. This thing grows the same way overnight, unless the entire bamboo forest is eradicated."

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, looked at the cracked courtyard wall, waved his hand and said, "That's it. If the wall collapses, just leave it here and ignore it. Let's see if we can add a little more naturalness."

The steward secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Gaochi followed behind: "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to see the speed and ability of my Ming Dynasty's freight forwarding?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "There are considerations in this regard. But more importantly, it is like looking at how much impact the economic operation of one place can have on another place. If it can be done and continued, it can be proved one thing."

"What's going on?" Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.

Zhu Yunxi and the others had moved forward again at this time.

The surrounding view is wider.

The entire Xicheng area adopts the method of creating living water, and three high cement towers for water storage and observation were built beside the scenic lake.

The top of the tower is an observation room, which has been handed over to Yingtian Mansion for management. There are always people in the observation room observing the progress of the entire Xicheng project.

Once a problem arises, it will be grasped as soon as possible and reported to the Xicheng Project Management Office and the government.

Under the observation room is a huge disc-shaped water storage room.

Using siphons and water lifting mechanisms, the water in the scenic lake will be continuously stored inside the water tower, and then through the pipes using the height difference to provide water sources for the entire Xicheng project, and also provide stable water for some water systems outside the building. Water supply.

At this moment, it was right in front of Zhu Yunxi and others.

On both sides of the street, there are water channels that reach the waist of an adult.

Firstly, it can provide water for the surrounding trees and flowers, and secondly, it can provide handwashing for tourists.

This is the living water system above ground in the Xicheng project.

Underneath both sides of the street is the drainage system.

The wastewater generated by all buildings will flow underground through pipes to a reservoir outside the city. After percolation and sedimentation, it will be discharged into the Qinhuai River and eventually into the Yangtze River.

"In the past two days, we have put up some signs next to the live drains, prohibiting children from excreting in the drains, and prohibiting adults from polluting the drains. Anyone who catches them will be sent to Yingtianfu to be slapped with a board."

The steward nodded immediately, took out a work diary from his pocket, and recorded the incident.

Then, Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang: "If this matter can be successful and goes smoothly, it means that in the future, we will not only be able to build factories in various places, but also mobilize a wider range of raw materials and connect them in Together, the entire Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a whole.

Instead of Yingtian City needing to produce everything, Suzhou Prefecture next door also has to produce these things again.

In the future, it may be that Yingtian Prefecture produces one thing on a large scale, and Suzhou Prefecture produces the same thing on a large scale. This should be more efficient. "

Zhu Gaochi, as always, fell into deep thought in front of this new proposition.

Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry to explain more.

If you want to build the entire Ming Dynasty into a complete industrial and agricultural system, naturally it cannot be completed overnight, let alone just one Xicheng project.

Now it's just an experiment.

Once the Xicheng project is determined to be feasible.

Only then can the experience of the Xicheng project be copied in other industries.

For example, it is the same as the steel industry supply chain that has been implemented now.

Daming has formed an industrial cluster of general assembly and general manufacturing around Yingtianfu, while on Hunan Road there is the output of raw materials and rough processing. Coal resources rely on the coal output on Shanxi Road.

A steel industry links the three places together.

In this process, the people can get more income, and the court can also get more tax revenue.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Just as Zhu Yunxi had already led others to the food court.

On the street in the distance, a group of forbidden troops rushed over.

Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and looked over curiously.

Zhu Gaochi, who was beside him, muttered in a low voice: "What happened?"
