The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 588 Zhu Di’s advice
In the summer of the 36th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

Beijing.

Wenhua Garden outside Wenhua Gate.

In a project undertaken by the Engineering Department of the China Industrial Bureau, low shrubs were transplanted, brick paths were laid, and the lawn was trimmed in the open space east of the Wenhua Gate arch bridge, making it a good place for officials to rest.

Xie Jin and Xu Ning sat comfortably on the stone bench.

Xu Ning never thought that one day, he would be able to be so free in the garden of the palace.

Wenhua Palace is a government agency.

It is also the palace in the eyes of ordinary people.

"The Yunnan-Guizhou-Laos railway project plan, and even the comprehensive development plan, will inevitably require less investment. Although it will not be cancelled, I am afraid it will not be completed within five years."

"Yeah, plans don't change as fast as they do."

Xu Ning nodded in understanding.

Xie Jin joked: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The Railway Engineering Department you manage is no longer an ordinary department, but a big brother."

Xu Ning waved his hands repeatedly.

"I shouldn't."

"It's just a joke from my brother's department, how can Mr. Ge take it seriously?"

"Although it is a joke, it is also true." Xie Jin looked at Xu Ning with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Opportunities are often more important than talents.

On talent.

There are so many talents in the world.

But whether it was him or Xu Ning in front of him, he encountered the best opportunity and firmly grasped it, leading to today's success. This shows how important choice is.

There are hundreds of thousands of railway workers in the Railway Engineering Department. After the railway operations are separated, whether it is purchased materials, construction funds, etc., they are a huge network of interests. The slightest hint of wealth between their fingers will be overwhelming.

Xu Ning was unwilling to discuss this matter in depth, and took the initiative to say: "The Ministry of Railway Engineering is not willing to do what Mr. Ge said about the province and the idea of ​​building a railway in East Chagatai. It is really impossible."

"The geographical environment of the railways built by the Western Region Province is better than that of Yilibari and Dongchagataidusi. Even so, the maintenance cost is very high. The most difficult thing is not to build it."

The Railway Engineering Department does not belong to Xu Ning. After more than ten years, it has developed a collective will.

Even Xu Ning cannot completely control it.

Yang Shiqi got close to the Ministry of War, while Xie Jin took a fancy to the Ministry of Railway Engineering. The two sides hit it off immediately. Although it was not an alliance, it was also a pursuit of interests. The court needed to deepen its control over each ministry, and each ministry also needed representatives to speak out in the court.

Every time the imperial court proposed a major development plan, railway construction was the first priority. The construction of railways to drive economic development was already one of the main economic means of the imperial court.

Change the soup but not the medicine.

But it works.

"No matter where the railway is built, no matter how difficult and harsh the environment, the Railway Engineering Department must exert the fighting spirit of building the Great Wall to ensure the completion of the project."

"After exploration and research by the Ministry of Technology, if we want to solve the railway construction in Yilibali and Dongchagataidusi, we need to build elevated railways in the form of bridges."

Xu Ning explained: "It can be built, and more people can be used to solve construction problems, but the cost is too high, and the amount of materials required cannot be afforded by the country."

Xie Jin nodded in understanding and did not force the Railway Engineering Department to come forward because of his political future.

"Next, your Railway Engineering Department may be wronged."

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Since the northwest railway cannot be built and the progress of the southwest railway will be affected, the country will not keep hundreds of thousands of railway workers in vain and will definitely provide new solutions.

soon.

Xie Jin took his plan and presented it to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi took a look and found that Xie Jin's plan mainly focused on the next phase of the economic stimulus plan. In addition to the construction of the original southwest railway, it also increased the regulation of the domestic economy, focusing on the agricultural machinery industry and the chemical industry.

“There is no stability without farmers, no strength without industry, no wealth without business.”

Zhu Gaochi pointedly said: "The development of agriculture must be the most important. New agricultural technologies, from planting to machinery, must be supported and given the greatest subsidies."

"At this time, we must pay close attention to agriculture. Your idea is very good, so just do it according to your idea."

After receiving His Highness the Crown Prince's approval, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's Cabinet.

His biggest competitor is Hu Guang. The northwest plan proposed by Hu Guang has become the focus of the next step. To win back a city, Xie Jin will not go against the overall situation, but he will not give up power easily.

The cabinet system will definitely be reformed with the departure of the saint.

No one knows what kind of pattern it will become, but occupying the most advantageous position is everyone's first choice.

On the day Zhu Di ascended the throne, he decreed that His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson should be crown prince and supervise the country.

at this time.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites also came to report.

The popularization of railways has accelerated social efficiency, including the speed of delivering official documents from the court.

Knowing the attitude of Goryeo, the plans of Hu Guang and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not in vain. Li Fangyuan, the most worrying person in Goryeo, agreed to Ming's request and agreed to send [-] troops.

Finally got off to a good start.

Zhu Gaochi smiled with satisfaction and said: "When a person is alive, one day he suddenly realizes that his thoughts have changed. After thinking about it carefully, he can't explain why. This is true for individuals and countries."

Xie Jin knew that it was His Highness the Crown Prince who was beating him up.

If the Ming Dynasty this spring is like a pot of burning coal, then the death of the saint seems to have cooled down the boiling Ming Dynasty. All parties have calmed down, and the original quarrels are no longer fierce.

When you calm down, your thoughts will become clearer.

We used to argue about many things, but suddenly everyone stopped arguing, felt it was unnecessary, and started doing practical things.

As advocated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Economic development is the right path, and we should devote the main energy to thinking about some side issues on the basis of social development. We need to clearly distinguish the main points and what is the most important.

Hall of Martial Arts.

"Grandpa Huang." A child of about five years old, holding his three-year-old sister, came to Wuying Hall to say hello. Following his mother's teachings, the children happily changed their words.

Zhu Di, who was holding a wooden sword and a flower basket in his hand, was smiling. When he heard the name, he was suddenly stunned. He quickly came to his senses and his expression returned to normal.

"This is for you."

"this is for you."

Zhu Di bent down and handed the flower basket to the little girl. The three-year-old girl didn't know much and was extremely well-behaved. She said weakly and embarrassedly: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang."

"Be good."

Zhu Di couldn't help but touch his granddaughter's little head. The naughty boy on the side was already holding his first "sword" and couldn't put it down and ran to the side to show off.

The little girl looked at her brother.

Zhu Di picked up the girl with a laugh and walked out of the palace.

Children are the best at reading people's eyes. Knowing that Grandpa Huang would not stop him, he rushed out excitedly and killed everyone in Wuying Hall. Huahuacaocao would suffer.

The eunuchs and female officials hesitated to speak.

"Let him play, it's just some grass and trees." Zhu Di said nonchalantly.

The little girl on his arm hugged Zhu Di tightly, showing nervous eyes, and Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di does not have as many children as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di's princess is Xu.

There was a concubine who was the daughter of a Jurchen chief, out of political necessity for marriage.

Historically, Zhu Di rebelled and ascended the throne. In the early years of Yongle, he selected girls from good families to enter the palace. A woman named Wang had outstanding talents and was named a noble concubine. For political interests, the sisters of the British Duke Zhang Fu were made a noble concubine.

Then there are the women who have paid tribute to North Korea over the years, a total of seventeen, all of whom were given the title of concubine or Zhaoyi.As for the children, except for the fourth son who died in infancy and the youngest daughter, the other three sons and four daughters were all born to the Xu family.

After Zhu Di's death, Han and other sixteen Korean concubines were all buried.

Queen Ma's five sons have all married women from other races, but they are very concerned about bloodline inheritance. Even the King of Qin is the same. This is the same as the Qing Dynasty. In order to ensure the bloodline, the Qing Dynasty prohibited intermarriage between Manchus and Han people.

Feeling the liveliness and loveliness of his grandchildren, Zhu Di seemed to feel the continuation of life.

Fifty and know the destiny.

Unknowingly, I was already 45 years old. Thinking back to the 25th year of Hongwu, when the boss was pulling an iron ball on the streets of Beiping City, it seemed like it had happened a generation ago.

After spending half a day with his grandchildren, Zhu Di left Wuying Palace.

Although Zhu Di is the emperor, the political center of the country has actually moved to Wenhua Palace, not Qianqing Palace. When he went to Qianqing Palace, the boss planned to integrate the administrative functions of Wuying Palace and Wenhua Palace, and he had already reported own.

Today, Zhu Di knew that he could not stay in the imperial city for a few days.

Leaving the capital this time will be different from before.

You can't come back for at least two or three years.

Others didn't feel reluctant to part with him, but the queen and several grandchildren made Zhu Di feel reluctant to part with him.

Officials from the Fifth Army Governor's Office, the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and other officials were already waiting at the Wenhua Hall. Zhu Di did not show up until the afternoon. Zhu Gaochi greeted him quickly. Zhu Di nodded and saw a large map when he entered the door.

"This is based on the memories of merchants and previous envoys sent to Timur to create an account of the current territory of the Timur Khanate, as well as surrounding countries and regions."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi put in at least half of the effort to make the new world map consistent with later world maps.

"It's really big."

After looking at it for a few times, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.

Ming Dynasty is also very big.

However, there are railways in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, from north to south, but there are no railways in the Timur Khanate. Especially in Central Asia, there are many mountains and deserts, making the journey very difficult.

"It's really big."

"Timur's martial arts is still very powerful, which is worthy of people's admiration." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Only with correct understanding can we make the wisest response.

The competition, even development and breakthroughs among Western countries are absolutely fierce, and the level of civilization exceeds that of Eastern civilization.

Correct understanding and learning their strengths is the right path.

But it's definitely not extreme.

Denying its own existence, regardless of the environment, conditions, historical factors, etc., it even distorts facts, discredits the achievements of ancient times, and even makes remarks that human race is inferior to others.

Look for the reasons for lagging behind, rather than feeling inferior, let alone blaming others.

Even to Timur.

The opponent is indeed barbaric, but why can they conquer such a large territory?

Zhu Gaochi is very confident.

Looking at the confident eldest son, Zhu Di also cleared away the squandering in his heart and laughed: "No wonder this person disobeys the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who has reached his situation will not obediently submit to others."

"It's just that it's true that he doesn't want to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. What's wrong is that he wants to plunder the Ming Dynasty and enslave the people of the Ming Dynasty. Then the world will not tolerate him."

"Emperor Shengming!"

All the ministers said.

Looking at the huge map, Zhu Di became wary.

in case.

If you can open up this place for the Ming Dynasty, even if you have to work hard for a while, your wisdom will definitely be respected by future generations. At least, you will not be judged by future generations and say that you are the father of a tiger and the son of a dog.

"very good."

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhu Di's appearance, Zhu Gaochi also smiled.

All army generals are already in place.

that day.

The Western Expeditionary Army was established.

The levy used has explained everything.

His Majesty the Emperor personally marched.

Zhang Fu served as the chief military officer of the right army. Zhu Neng ended his term in Jiaozhi and returned to China to serve as the chief military officer of the left army.Geng Bingwen served as the general of the Chinese army, Wang Cong led the Zhongyong army, and Qiu Fu led the Yong army.

Wang Zhen was the vanguard general, including Zhao An, Jiang Gui, Ren Li, Liu Zhen, Huo Zhen, Tan Yuan, Li Yuan and other generals.

There are 20 troops for the Western Expedition, 20 reserve troops, and [-] civilians.

A total of 50 million.

The Western Expedition to Destroy the Country was published in newspapers.

The imperial court is clear about the world.

All criticism and anything is prohibited. Priority is given to ensuring the smooth progress of the Western Expedition. Victory is the premise. There must be no violation or hindrance in the slightest. Violators will be severely punished.

Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, personally went to the Western Region Province to take charge of the supply of the army.

"I don't care about other things, except one thing." Before leaving, Zhu Di came to Zhu Gaochi to explain.

"Father, are you worried about your uncles and Zhu Yunwen?"

"Yes."

"There are still [-] troops in Beijing camp and surrounding areas, and troops are still stationed in various places. They can't make waves, and they don't dare." Zhu Gaochi said with certainty, the newspaper was full of firepower, coupled with the current social atmosphere.

Whoever dares to use this time to cause trouble will not only lose the support of the people in the world, but will become a rat on the street, and everyone will beat him up.

"The third brother is still here, and the third brother is doing well in Jinyiwei."

Zhu Gaochi agreed.

"Actually, I want to keep the second child, he can be a sharp knife in your hand." Zhu Di said regretfully.

"My father has traveled thousands of miles, and he needs the care of his second brother even more. Only with my second brother by my father's side can I feel at ease." Zhu Gaochi insisted.

Brothers are united, and their profits break gold.

They are three brothers, each with their own talents.

But Zhu Gaochi chose to send Zhu Gaoxu because he was really worried about Zhu Di. After all, he had to go so far. History is history after all. Zhu Yuanzhang lived a few more years, so it can be seen that things will change.

Zhu Di's health is what Zhu Gaochi cares about most.

During the trip, the second brother can not only protect his father, but also have his son by his side. I believe Zhu Di will also be happier.

Zhu Di didn't say much.

I didn't insist on keeping the second child because of this consideration.

He is getting old too.

If anything goes wrong, at least the army has a backbone and won't lose its head.

As for whether the second child will take the opportunity to become ambitious?
Even if he was given ten courages, he would not dare, and the army would not support the second brother. The three brothers had been close friends since childhood, so Zhu Di was relieved.
