Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 356 Lan Yu Muying can’t wait to observe the new army!This is just the surface!

Jian'an.

"Hey, what is the prince going to do?"

"No, why are so many people following the prince out of the city?"

"You don't know? I heard that the imperial court sent a very large observation group, including several marquises!"

……

When the people of Jian'an saw that Zhu Di and his family, as well as officials from the Jian'an Dusi Mansion and the Chief Envoy's Yamen, came out of the city at noon, they were all surprised and commented.

Ye Mao and Shen Ren rode horses.

Looking at the street, he whispered with emotion: "I haven't been to Jian'an for a year, and I feel a little strange."

King Yan has not returned to Fujian this year.

He didn't come to Jian'an either.

So much so that I came to Jian'an this time.

Almost stunned.

Houses with thatched roofs like those in most counties in Fujian have disappeared.

Both sides of the entire Jian'an Center Street are filled with newly built brick houses.

A red masonry.

He inquired and found out that they were all made in several villages in Fujian that were rich in clay.

It is said that this technique of firing bricks and stones was developed by King Yan in Tuqiao Village.

King Yan's two brothers-in-law are now working in the countryside to establish local village communities. It is they who spread this firing technique.

Nowadays, all the street-facing buildings in Jian'an have been bought by merchants and built into shops.

There are also warehouses under construction everywhere in the city.

Many people in Jian'an became rich because of this relocation.

Jian'an's rural village communities have been fully established.

is exerting force.

Produced in rural areas, baskets, cotton cloth, and satin are used for sea trade...

Businessmen seek profit.

The people of Jian'an were richer than before, and local gentry and people with some money opened more shops.

At the same time, merchants in sea trade also particularly like Jian'an.

This is not because King Yan is the magistrate of Jian'an County.

After the rural village community was established.

The people were gradually organized and became accustomed to division of labor and cooperation.

Small businessmen are still buying cotton, silk and other materials everywhere.

The original tyranny is no longer satisfied with this kind of petty fighting.

When they have needs, they will send people directly to the rural areas in Jian'an.

If you need cotton cloth, you will distribute the inventory to each village. If you need cotton, you will agree on the purchase contract and price with each village in advance.

In this way, the supply of goods is stable, and a large amount of goods can be gathered in a short period of time.

Many powerful and big businessmen in Fujian now prefer to do business this way.

It is precisely this current business model that has made many Fujian tycoons begin to reflect on rural village communes and the employee-employed shareholding system, and gradually recognize that this policy originally harmed their interests.

The same is true for Min County.

Big merchants gathered together and all of them established a labor share system.

The living conditions of the people in Jian'an have changed visibly.

Shen Ren looked around. He felt great changes every day he stayed in Jian'an, not to mention that Ye Mao hadn't been here for a year.

I'm afraid the impact will be even greater if the viewing group sees it.

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and said: "In the future, Jian'an will definitely change more and more. In the past, Jian'an was a famously poor place in Fujian. Because of poverty and the people's instability, the Dusi government was directly established in Jian'an to intimidate and suppress the place. , from now on, the role of our Dusi Mansion will become weaker and weaker."

Ye Mao glanced at Shen Ren and smiled.

Shen Ren was deliberately showing off.

Although Shen Ren is a military commander.

But he was sure that Shen Ren didn't want the people under the Dusi Mansion's nose to rebel.

……

at the same time.

Jian'an is thirty miles away.

A huge observation team marched slowly.

At this time, it has entered Jian'an territory.

Lan Yu and others couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at the carriages filled with things passing by from time to time.

Lan Yu turned to look at Ji Gang who was at the border of Fujian Province and went to greet them, "Ji Gang, after entering Jian'an, why are there so many horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and donkey-carts?"

The others' ears immediately perked up.

Ji Gang looked at this group of people and couldn't help but secretly thought: "What does this mean? You just saw the surface." '

This year, he carried out secret activities in Fujian and completed the Jinyiwei system in Fujian.

I saw the most and felt the deepest!
He smiled and said: "These are the fleets used by merchants to transport goods. In order to take advantage of Jian'an's efficient organizational power, many powerful and big merchants have built warehouses in Jian'an, and then allocated the required cargo orders to places where the organization is efficient and the raw materials are produced. In the countryside, there are also some merchants who directly provide raw materials to the people in Jian'an City..."

Yes, it’s organization.

This word is said to have been invented by Zhu Silang.

In short, now all Fujian officials, gentry, powerful people, and merchants often talk about this word.

And they all understand what this means.

Fang Xiaoru interrupted curiously, "Ji Qianhu, this method is what King Yan mentioned, using economic methods to macroscopically guide rural villages to develop to a higher level, right?"

Ji Gang glanced at Fang Xiaoru.

Fang Xizhi, the popular person next to the prince.

He was also the first Ming Dynasty official to come into contact with rural communities.

Fang Xizhi was able to understand this depth after hearing it. He was not surprised at all.

"Correct!"

blah blah blah...

The sound of rapid horse hooves came at this moment.

Everyone followed the sound...

Several riders came galloping from the turn in front.

Mu Ying frowned slightly, "Why do people wear such strange clothes?"

"No, there are shoulder markings!" Lan Yu noticed the shoulder markings on the soldiers' shoulders.

Everyone stared at the rushing soldiers and observed them carefully.

Ji Gang introduced: "These are the five hundred soldiers of the King of Yan. They have now been put on the new military uniforms of the First Town of the King of Yan's Army."

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other.

When meeting Ji Gang.

They learned about it from Ji Gang's mouth.

Zhu Laosi's new Jilongyu army adopted a new military system that was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

The first town, the first association, the first standard, the first battalion.

Ji Gang only knew so much for the time being.

The specific details are unclear.

Obviously, even the omnipotent Jin Yiwei knows very little about Jilong Island.

……

As the person approaches.

Lan Yu recognized that the leader was Zhou Lang, the Jiangning government official.

This little guy, because of Zhu Laosi, is now prosperous.

Of course, this person relies on his ability.

He followed Zhu Laosi all the way across the grassland. After returning to the court, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Zhu Laosi's personal soldiers.

The original batch of 500 people were ordinary soldiers, but His Majesty promoted them one level to the rank of small flag.

Now, Zhu Laosi has established a new army in a town, which is probably even more remarkable.

I don’t know what official position Zhou Lang holds now.

……

The blue jade is being pondered.

Zhou Lang led several people on horseback and approached.

Appeal!
He reined in his horse and stamped his feet, sat on the horse and saluted with his chest in his arms, "I hold the humble position of Commander-in-Chief of King Yan's personal soldiers, and the number one cavalry commander in the East Fan Army of King Yan. Commander-in-Chief Zhou Lang, I would like to pay my respects to all the lords of the observation group!"

"I am under the command of my humble duty to welcome..."

Lan Yu and others looked at Zhou Lang. Most people knew that Zhou Lang was originally a small government servant in Jiangning.

At this moment, looking at Zhou Lang, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: 'Another little person who has made a fortune at the beginning! '

There is no trace of the philistine face of a government official in Zhou Lang.

The person in front of me is clearly a sonorous soldier!

Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others felt the most deeply as soldiers.

I secretly said that Zhu Laosi really knows how to train people.

Immediately, Mu Ying smiled and said: "We understand. Zhou Biaotong sent someone back to report to the prince. You stay, we have some questions that we can't wait to ask you. Is that okay?"

Zhou Lang smiled secretly.

It's not surprising at all.

His Highness was originally going to take these people to observe, and there was nothing he couldn't say.

"Follow your orders!"

Zhou Lang told the brothers who were following him to go back and report the news, while he stayed and followed the observation group.

Zhu Di's personal soldiers just rode away.

Lan Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Zhou Biaotong, tell us about your Cavalry Biao, the first town of your army..."

Zhou Lang said humbly: "Yongchang Marquis can just call Zhou Lang, the humble one, Biaotong is just what we call him in the new army of Jilongyu." Lan Yu nodded with a smile.

Then Zhou Lang began to popularize science to everyone.

"The total number of people in the first town of the prince's army is 12560. One town, two associations and two bids, each bid has 3 battalions. The battalion is under the control of the leader, and the battalion is composed of team officers, platoon leaders, and shed guards..."

"Four marks, two marks are equipped with fire guns, two marks are sword and shield soldiers..."

"There is also a cavalry flag. The number of cavalry flags is smaller. There are only 100 people. There are three battalions, each battalion is [-]. Our cavalry flag lacks horses. Although the brothers are full, they only have [-] horses..."

……

really!

Mu Ying and Lan Yu looked at each other and secretly said something in unison.

Zhu Laosi was guarding Min County, and he was in a group of three and five.

They speculated that Zhu Laosi's new army would definitely apply this small grouping model to the new army.

It turns out that it is.

"In addition, His Highness plans to train another mixed association to defend Jilong Island before returning to the court to assist in the war. Your Highness has to rely on himself for everything. He has no money, so he can only train so much."

In the end, Zhou Lang did not forget to cry for Zhu Di.

It was not that he wanted to ask for anything for His Highness.

Your Highness disdains to do such a thing!

I just want to tell these people, observe and learn, don’t just want to hug something good when you see it.

The court gave His Highness almost no help.

The current wealth is all accumulated through hard work by His Highness.

All the people present.

How could you not hear what Zhou Lang meant by secretly poking at her?

The corners of his lips twitched.

The court did not give anything.

But this development is too fast!
Compile another mixed association.

According to Zhou Lang, there are more than 5000 people in Huncheng Association.

A town, plus a mixed association, there are close to 2 people!

What's more, according to Ji Gang, King Yan also has a new navy.

For a time, not to mention generals such as Lan Yu, Mu Ying, and Yu Tongyuan, even civil servants such as Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru wanted to go to Jilong Island immediately to see this new army.

If the greatest threat to the prince is said to be this new army!
"Zhou Biaotong, why didn't the imperial court support King Yan?" Huang Zicheng said unconvinced, "The only right to sea trade, isn't this support? Without the privilege of sea trade, King Yan would not be able to make any money, and he would not be able to arm your army. , a private soldier who only listens to him and does not listen to the orders of the imperial court..."

It’s unclear what Zhu Silang’s attitude is.

But Zhu Silang's subordinates made it clear that Zhu Silang did not owe the court anything.

What is this for?
Your Majesty is like this.

If the crown prince ascends the throne, will it be difficult for the court to do anything they want them to do?
Mu Ying, Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru and others couldn't help but frown when they heard Huang Zicheng's remarks.

Zhu Laosi is the son of the emperor!

This is supported.

If you tell anyone, others may think that Zhu Laosi is not the emperor's biological son.

Huang Zicheng, however, regarded this support as a bargaining chip for his arrogance.

Fang Xiaoru was about to stop Huang Zicheng...

"This lord!"

Zhou Lang gave up and said coldly: "His Highness's maritime trade rights are not for nothing! Has this lord forgotten or pretended to forget? The reason why His Highness is able to do maritime trade is because he eliminated pirates along the coast of Fujian. At the same time, His Highness also shoulders the task of cleaning up the world for the imperial court!"

Huang Zicheng was instantly choked and his face turned red, his nose was red, and it turned slightly purple.

Zhou Lang had no intention of letting it go, and continued: "Now, Fujian has become a forbidden area for pirates. This time, King Yan will also show our new navy to all the adults in the viewing group. We have already selected a pirate area and are ready to destroy it." , Next, our navy will gradually eliminate all pirates along the coast for the imperial court..."

……

This man acted so deservedly.

Isn't it true that in the future, His Highness will develop the territories established overseas well?

Would they also ask for it directly from His Highness in such a tone?

Judging by the taken-for-granted attitude of some of them, this is very likely to happen.

dream!

Brothers, we will never let His Highness suffer such injustice!

"Let me ask this sir, if someone else came to Fujian alone, he could only use 1000 soldiers and more than 8000 coastal defense officers to annihilate [-] Japanese pirates. How could he develop Fujian so well?"

The prince does not owe Daming anything!
If we want to talk about debt, it’s because the court owes the prince!

Haha ...

Just when everyone was speechless by Zhou Lang, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Lan Yu suddenly laughed heartily and reached out to pat Zhou Lang on the shoulder, "Well done, this is a real soldier!"

As he spoke, he glared at Huang Zicheng fiercely.

The bad things that will happen in the future will definitely be caused by this group of civil servants!

How can you say it so confidently?

Although they are all from the prince's family, he is still the prince's uncle-in-law.

But they all blushed!

……

His eyes looked at Zhou Lang again.

He really admired Zhou Lang.

It's a pity that Zhu Laosi's people can't be snatched away.

After learning that Zhu Laosi had arranged for them to observe actual battles to eliminate pirates, he could not wait to go to Jilong Island.

Zhu Laosi really didn't hide anything.

……

Xu Da remained silent and had no attitude.

At this moment, I couldn't help but smile secretly.

Shiro has such a group of brothers and subordinates.

From then on, no one dared to show off to Shiro, making Shiro feel wronged!

……

The little unhappiness was cleverly resolved by Lan Yu, and then everyone began to speed up.

After a while.

Jian'an County is far away.

The dark crowd outside the city gate showed that Zhu Laosi attached great importance to the arrival of their group.

……

"coming!"

When Lan Yu and his party saw Zhu Di and others.

At the city gate, everyone also saw the observation group.

The team arrived quickly.

When Zhu Di led the crowd to greet him, Lan Yu and others dismounted one after another. Lan Yu was the first to salute: "Greetings to King Yan, greetings to the great grandson!"

The others followed suit.

Xu Da watched Lan Yu arrange Zhu Di in front of Zhu Xiongying, thoughtfully.

The attitude given by Lan Yu is not insignificant.

Zhu Di was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Welcome the Marquis of Yongchang, the Marquis of Xiping, and the observing group."

The two parties saluted each other, and after greetings, Zhu Di continued: "Everyone has been tired from traveling all the way, how about we go back to the city and talk about it?"

"Everything is up to the prince's arrangement." Lan Yu smiled and obeyed.

After both sides mount their horses.

Lan Yu, as the host of the observation group, rode in front with Zhu Di.

He turned around and pointed at the carriage with the wine jar behind him, "The wine in the carriage behind was brought to the prince by the villagers of Tuqiao Village. They brewed it with corn stalks. When your majesty learned about it, he was very happy. He was awarded the first place in the local village community of Tuqiao Village. Village, Yang Laoba was also appointed as an agricultural officer by His Majesty..."

Zhu Di was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

Corn stalks make wine, he knows.

However, he didn't know how to brew it.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Eight and the others actually did it.

See it.

As long as the people are organized and have capital, and they are allowed to do it, they will definitely be able to create results.

There are countless rural areas in Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that each one looks like Tuqiao Village.

Only [-]% of the villages can produce inventions, big or small.

If it spreads, it can push Ming Dynasty to another level!
……

Lan Yu has been observing Zhu Di's expression.

At this moment, I couldn't help but laugh.

He knew that when Zhu Laosi heard about this, he would be even happier than he was when he made corn straw wine.

On understanding Zhu Laosi.

In the imperial court, he will definitely be at the forefront!
"Hiss! Is this Jian'an?"

"Didn't I say that Jian'an is one of the poorest counties in Fujian?"

……

There were exclamations from behind.

Lan Yu came back to her senses and turned around to look. The people speaking were young officials such as Lian Zining, Qi Tai, and Tie Xuan.

Follow the gaze of these young officials and look curiously...

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
