The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 159
Yuan Rong was invited by the Eldest Prince to enter the palace. A little Huangmen was leading the way. The two walked into a pine forest one after the other. After walking for about a mile, a palace appeared in front of them.

Backed by green hills, facing green water.

There is a bridge over the water with stone railings carved with flowers, the palace is covered with blue tiles, and the two corridors are covered with red mud walls.

Several guards with knives stood far away, and a figure was sitting on the shore, as if fishing.

"Little lord."

Yuan Rong stepped forward to salute.

"Brother-in-law is here." Zhu Gaochi did not get up, stared at the lake, greeted him, and then ordered: "Bring the stool."

Hearing the order, the guards in the distance moved a round stool.

Yuan Rong sat on the round stool and looked at the floating water on the lake. It was quiet here, not even the sound of birds chirping, but it was a pleasant and relaxing place.

King Yan's Mansion was built on the demolished capital of Qianyuan, with water in the west and mountains in the north. Although the scale is not as large as the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it is still one of the best vassal mansions.

The mansions of Prince Ning, Prince Liao, Prince Han, Prince Shen, etc. have stopped construction due to various reasons, and they have not yet been completed.

"The little prince is very elegant." Yuan Rong greeted softly.

Zhu Gaochi put down his fishing rod, stood up and stretched, as if nothing had changed.If it wasn't for hearing that the prince and the young prince had a quarrel, Yuan Rong would really not have noticed it.

Now inside and outside the city of Beiping, it is rumored that the little prince has fallen out of favor.

"Father scolded us for being indecisive. Fishing is a fun thing that can exercise one's mind. Let's try it. It's really interesting."

Zhu Gaochi had a calm expression on his face.

Yuan Rong couldn't help but peeked at it, whether he really didn't care, or whether the young prince hid it deeply, it was unknown.

This remark was difficult to answer, Yuan Rong lowered his head.

Zhu Gaochi smiled indifferently.

Zhu Di is the second generation, and he has a different temperament from Zhu Yuanzhang.

If you were facing Zhu Yuanzhang, you wouldn't dare to argue even if you gave Zhu Gaochi ten guts, but for Zhu Di, it's okay to quarrel face to face.

"Honeycomb Chamber of Commerce, Military Household Economic Cooperative, you are doing very well, and I have never had a chance to chat with you alone."

"Being grounded now has saved us a lot of worry."

Zhu Gaochi said calmly, completely unaware of how much commotion his words would stir up outside.

No matter where it is placed, it is a big deal for the eldest son to be grounded.

Yuan Rong became more and more cautious, and he didn't say a word. He didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of King Yan and his son.

Zhu Gaochi walked to the round table on the side, picked up the kettle and poured two bowls of tea, handed one to Yuan Rong, and took two sips of the other.

Moisturizing his throat, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, I need to trouble you one more thing."

Yuan Rong's expression became even more bitter.

It is his honor to serve the young prince, but today, it has become his burden, not because he is unwilling, but mainly because he is afraid of offending King Yan.

But he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only say anxiously: "I don't know what it is?"

"Help us go to Jinzhou and meet Qiu Fu."

Zhu Gaochi put the tea bowl back on the table, and there were two plates of snacks on the table, he picked up one plate and signaled Yuan Rong to take one.

Yuan Rong got up quickly, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate, put it in his hand and didn't eat it.

Such an act of intimacy would have made Yuan Rong very happy a few days ago, but now it is like a huge stone pressing down on her heart.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and reminded: "Does the lord know?"

"You don't need to worry about the prince's attitude." Zhu Gaochi smiled and spoke to comfort him.

Zhu Gaochi's words not only failed to comfort Yuan Rong, but also made Yuan Rong's smile more forced, making him speechless.

What is this nonsense.

How dare he not care about the prince's attitude?

"Tell Qiu Fu, let him find a way to solve the pirate matter we told him as soon as possible. Now we can count on him."

Zhu Gaochi has no idea how to deal with the Japanese pirates according to his own requirements.

He is a chess player. Whether the chess piece can be eaten or not depends on the chess piece itself.

With Qiu Fu's talent in history, he is capable of accomplishing what he has told him to do. As long as the front has done a good job, the rear will be easy to operate.

Sometimes meritorious service works better than anything else.

Just like the Donglin Party in the Apocalypse Dynasty, they want power to be given to power, and people to give to others.

But if you can't make meritorious deeds in Liaodong, and lose cities and lands one after another, then no matter how much support you make, how many sages you have in the faction, you have to get out.

The same is true of the current situation. Zhu Gaochi needs Qiu Fu to make contributions in Liaodong.

If you do meritorious service, you will be rewarded.

The palace can't chill the hearts of its own people, right?

After explaining the internal affairs to Yuan Rong, Zhu Gaochi smiled brightly, waiting for Yuan Rong's reply.

With the enthusiasm of the little prince, Yuan Rong really couldn't refuse.

Just like a popular saying in Beiping City recently.

No choice.

Three words do everything.

The little prince found him, and from the moment he found out, he had no choice, even if there was a prince on the opposite side.

Because of his low status, he was just a bastard.

"Leave immediately."

"good."

Zhu Gaochi patted Yuan Rong's arm in relief.

Wangfu.

Zhu Di's face was ugly.

The boss is promising, and he is very satisfied.

But suddenly found that the boss became stubborn, and when his ideas conflicted with his own, he dared to contradict himself.

How can there be a son in the world who violates the principles of his father.

How can there be such a device.

"He sent someone to call Yuan Rong, why?" Zhu Di said sullenly.

"From what the guards said, it seems to be about Liaodong."

Zhu Di took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Monk, did you see that?"

Yao Guangxiao is holding the Buddhist beads, he looks like a foreigner, he doesn't get involved in the affairs of the world, he has an air of not eating the fireworks of the world.

"Hehe." Zhu Di sneered twice.

Jin Zhong coughed twice, and boldly spoke up for Zhu Gaochi: "Young prince's behavior is quite like a saint."

Zhu Di shook his head.

I have nothing to do with the boss, I can't scare him, so I can't really punish him.

He didn't want to either.

The boss has grown up and can't treat him like he was a child.

Moreover, Zhu Di recognized the boss's ability very much, and he was reluctant to punish him. As for China Heavy Industry, he was the only one in the world.

The boss has the ability to govern the country.

"Let him go, as long as he doesn't play tricks on us on the surface."

"Amitabha."

"call."

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who can withstand the pressure of King Yan and go through the entire Beiping Mansion several times is the eldest son, and the rest of them don't have the guts.

……

Yuan Rong agreed to the eldest son, and did not waver anymore. According to the young prince's explanation, he went to Jin Zhong to get the palace badge, went home, packed up and saluted, and took his entourage to Tianjin.

The heavy military deployment in the northern border goes deep into Liaodong along the outside of the Great Wall, so the supply is through Beiping-Daning-Liaoxi Corridor-Liaoyang-Shenyang.

Jinzhou is a protruding part of the Liaodong Peninsula. It faces Denglai in Shandong across the sea. It only takes two or three days for a boat to go back and forth.

It takes a month to transport it to Jinzhou by land, because it needs to go around half of Liaodong, so the supply to Jinzhou is through Denglai, Shandong.

Jinzhou belongs to the Beiping Metropolitan Division, and the Peking Metropolitan Division belongs to the Chief Secretary of Shandong.

In the late Ming Dynasty, as the population of Liaodong reached millions, Jinzhou would also become the main guard of Liaodong.

Regardless of the acres or the population, they are at the forefront of the Liaodong guards.

In addition to the fact that the supplies in the Liaoxi Corridor are still inland, the supplies in Liaodong have been changed to sea transportation, and the route is Denglai and Tianjin-Sea Shipping-Jinzhou-Fuzhou-Gaizhou-Haizhou-Liaoyang-Shenyang.

However, the current Jinzhou, although it is Jinzhouwei in name, actually has only one thousand households. In addition to the harassment of Japanese pirates, shipping has also been hindered.

Jinzhou Zhongzuo, which is the location of Lushun in later generations, formed a large area of ​​shantytowns.

Lack of food, lack of cattle, lack of farm tools, lack of clothes, lack of salt...

In short, everything is missing.

The court's distribution of criminals is not for the benefit of criminals. After the ship is delivered to Jinzhou, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive.

If you are in good health, you can survive. There are many wild animals in Jinzhou. When you are hungry, you can always find a way to eat. The most fearful thing is getting sick.

When you are sick, not only will you have no food, but you will also have no medicines and doctors. Life and death are predestined.

If there are no oxen, people will be used to plow the land.

If you don't have tools, use your hands to plan the ground.

In short, people can do anything.

There were wise men who forged stone tools themselves and became the most sought-after artisans.

When Qiu Fu saw Yuan Rong, it was like seeing a relative.

Holding Yuan Rong's hand, he opened his bloody mouth, "Hurry up and tell the little prince that we need food, farm tools, cattle, and clothes."

Yuan Rong withdrew his hand and asked bluntly, "What about the Japanese pirates?"

"At the same time." Qiu Fu did not shirk.

Before he came to Jinzhou, he was instructed by the young prince to shoulder important tasks in the palace.

It can be said to open up the territory for the palace.

One of the most important things is to deal with the pirates, and according to the request of the little prince, reach some secret agreements with some obedient pirates.

For example, through Japanese pirates, some people were trafficked from Japan to Jinzhou, Wangfu... No, China Heavy Industries spent money to buy slaves.

As for whether the pirates will agree.

Those who are so poor are about to go to the sea to fight for their lives. If there is a way to survive, no one will agree.

The difficult thing is how to eliminate those steadfast members of the Japanese pirates. If they are not subdued, how can they be obedient.

"Is there a way?"

"you know?"

Yuan Rong nodded.

Qiu Fu shook his head.

"As you have seen, the land here is rich and fertile, but it lacks manpower, and cultivating the land consumes the most human life."

"The original intention of the little prince is to buy and sell the Japanese population through the Japanese pirates, so that the Japanese pirates can be used for his own use, and Liaodong can be developed for our Ming Dynasty."

"No wonder."

Yuan Rong suddenly realized.

Qiu Fu stared, "You don't know, how dare you lie to me?" Yuan Rong waved his hand in fright as he was about to do it as soon as his sleeves were rolled up.

"The little prince ordered me to select a few of the barrow masters from the military household economic cooperative to come to Jinzhou. I was always confused on the way down, and only after listening to Qiu Qianhu's words did I wake up."

???

Qiu Fu felt his crotch was chilly.

Yuan Rong explained: "The castrated pigs grow fast, so the Military Household Economic Cooperative has raised a group of professional castrated pig masters."

While talking and gesticulating, imitating the movements of the pig master, Yuan Rong held his hand, and Qiu Fu, who was startled, couldn't help but take a step back.

"It can be dug out at once, and it doesn't delay the lively, tsk tsk." Yuan Rong is the team leader of the military household economic cooperative, and he knows these things well.
