Chapter 222 In Kunning Palace, the Zhu family holds a banquet

Jinling City.

British government.

"It's so miserable."

"I just received news that the two countries of Vietnam and Occupation have gone through this wave of war, and it can be said that the whole country is full of victims."

"Fortunately, the country of Yue has a market provided by Ming merchants to maintain it. The territory of the country of Zhan is simply filled with thieves and chaos."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"This...the law of conservation of money."

"Zipeng Ge took the initiative to pay more. This price is what they deserve."

"But our Ming garrison has passed, and some thieves want to overthrow Zipeng, but they can't do it."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

"Zhan Guo is more biased toward barbarians, and there are no wealthy families like the Hu family and Li family in Yue State."

"Now the large areas of land and a large number of industries in Zhan Guo are controlled by people from the Ming Dynasty. What do you plan to let them do with this land in Zhan Guo in the future?"

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.

"Farming!"

"We can build a high-capacity industrial chain tomorrow."

“Agricultural land like Zhanguo is a naturally-selected agricultural land with three or even four crops a year. If we don’t cultivate it properly, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources?”

"Besides, that place has a long coastline. Fortunately, the country of Yue is directly bordering our Ming Dynasty. If we put some industries there, even if they have disobedient intentions, we can always increase their numbers."

"If Zhan Guo has other thoughts, it will not be easy for us to reinforce the Ming soldiers above. Moreover, with their long coastline, once they have industrial production capacity, their export capabilities to the island countries in the southeast will be stronger than our Ming Dynasty. .”

"Let's wait and see when our Ming Dynasty's ship is coming. We can reach Zhanguo from Panyu in a few hours."

Xiao Han raised the corner of his mouth and said.

"What kind of ship can be so fast?"

Zhu Biao was slightly startled.

"The clipper is here."

Xiao Han chuckled and did not explain.

"You can't really build such a fast boat, can you?"

Zhu Biao's eyes widened.

"Can't get it out."

"Although I do have some ideas, I haven't figured it out yet."

Xiao Han spread his hands.

Needless to say, the steam engine is indeed difficult. Xiao Han led his group of top craftsmen to try it many times, but every time there would be problems such as air leakage and blockage.

The best time was, after running for more than ten strokes, it also got stuck.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"I still have things to arrange here, so I'll leave first."

"Dad and mom are going to cook at Kunning Palace tonight. Remember to take Miaoyun and Qingling with you tonight."

Zhu Biao spoke, turned and left.

Xiao Han touched his nose and looked helpless. Are his words so untrustworthy now?

"Jiang You!"

Xiao Han gave a soft drink and greeted Jiang You on the side.

"Your Highness."

Jiang You walked in and saluted Xiao Han.

"How's the information you guys found about Wang Baobao going?"

Xiao Han asked Jiang You.

"Return to your highness."

"The Yesudie'er tribe is currently the strongest tribe in Can Yuan besides He Lin Wang Ting, but it was not this tribe that did not respect the title of King of Can Yuan Wang Ting before."

"It was other tribes that bought our Ming Dynasty equipment. Wang Baobao sent troops very quickly and pacified them in less than half a month."

"Now he has returned to Prince Qi's Mansion in Helin City. However, Wang Baobao has indeed not gone to court for several days since he came back."

"The reason is that after returning from victory, I want to worship my biological mother and tell her the good news."

Jiang You said to Xiao Han.

"Sacrifice your biological mother?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.

Wang Baobao's mother was the daughter of a general in the Yuan Dynasty, and his father was Han Chinese.

Ordinarily, according to the tradition inherited from the father's line, Wang Baobao should be considered a Han talent. This is why Emperor Xuanguang could not completely trust Wang Baobao when he was the prince in his early years.

However, Wang Baobao received Yuan-style education from his mother since he was a child, so when he faced the same dilemma as Yue Fei, who was surrounded by princes from all over the world and the kings at home did not trust Yue Fei, he did not choose to rebel and join the princes of the Central Plains.

The difference is that this guy is obviously more independent than Yue Fei. Faced with such a situation, he was caught in the middle and fought back and forth.

In the end, Emperor Xuanguang extended an olive branch to him again, and he once again joined Emperor Xuanguang's service.

Even if her sister is in the hands of the Zhu family, she will not be shaken.

Wang Baobao went to worship his biological mother. In the hidden meaning, he showed his loyalty to the Yuan Dynasty and proved that he was a Yuan citizen.

However, this timing is a bit tricky. Normally, after returning from victory, even if you want to worship your biological mother, you should first attend the celebration banquet of Emperor Xuanguang.

"Then how did Emperor Xuanguang of Can Yuan respond?"

Xiao Han asked Jiang You.

"The Can Yuan Emperor Xuanguang said, 'Filial piety is a virtue that has always been respected by orthodox dynasties.' Then he canceled the celebration banquet he had prepared and said it would wait until Wang Baobao finished paying homage to his biological mother."

Jiang You replied.

"interesting."

"It seems like Wang Baobao really has a physical problem."

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and said.

If it was acted, then the pair of kings Wang Baobao and Emperor Xuanguang would not have a tacit understanding. After all, Emperor Xuanguang could say that he asked Wang Baobao to worship his biological mother first, which could perfectly solve all problems and prevent the surrounding powerful enemies from daring to act rashly.

In the current situation, Wang Baobao did not come to participate, and Emperor Xuanguang canceled it temporarily. Without looking at it, Xiao Han knew that the criticism of the Northern Yuan court would definitely not be less, and it could even be said to be turbulent.

I have seen people using their bodies as bait, but Xiao Han has never heard of people who directly put themselves on the fire and roast them to give off the scent as bait.

"Let's go to Kunning Palace with me."

Xiao Han pondered for a moment and then waved his hand. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to go to Kunning Palace.

I don’t know what Lao Zhu wanted to say when he went to Kunning Palace this time. According to Xiao Han’s understanding of Lao Zhu, every time there is a banquet in Kunning Palace, there will always be some purpose.

For example, Xu Da's roast goose always throws something away every time he eats it. Logically speaking, now that the Ming Dynasty is booming, Lao Zhu should have nothing to say.

Especially, this is still with myself and Zhu Biao.

Probably, Lao Zhu may have some complaints about the national policies implemented by Xiao Han and Zhu Biao.

I remember the last time Xiao Han proposed the Ming Dynasty's economic development model to Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao spent a lot of effort explaining it to Lao Zhu. In the end, it was Xiao Han himself who finally made Lao Zhu understand it completely.

It is late summer and August, and the autumn wind is picking up slightly, but it cannot dissipate the impetuousness of summer.

Xiao Han took the British Duke's chariot all the way to Kunning Palace.

"Fengxue, you came very early."

A call came from behind, Xiao Han turned around and saw Zhu Biao arriving at Kunning Palace in the prince's chariot, smiling at him.

"what?"

"You're too late today."

"There has been a lot of politics in the Ming Dynasty recently?"

Xiao Han asked Zhu Biao.

"you do not say."

"I have to personally see the construction of Northeast China and the military camps of Ryukyu Sanzan Kingdom."

"My eyes are getting calluses when I look at these memorials."

Zhu Biao rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly.

"There are so many memorials?"

Xiao Han was slightly surprised.

"Who says it isn't?"

"These useless local officials don't even know how to deal with how many households a piece of land is divided into by themselves. They must write a note for the court to review. This makes them appear to be honest and honest, and they are not corrupt at all."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.

He is really annoyed. Many of the comments he made in his comments were "Adapt to circumstances and make your own decisions."

This is not because Zhu Biao is lazy, but because of the local situation. Zhu Biao cannot specifically check the news about Jin Yiwei and analyze it carefully.

These officials wrote notes to the court in order to gain the power to make decisions.

In fact, these guys already have a plan in mind, and they just want a license.

"Then you can directly issue an imperial edict to the court and declare that from now on, local officials will handle such matters themselves."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"You think I don't want to."

"But the national policy that dad set at the beginning was not to give local officials too much power."

"Even if you send it over, we Da Ming will just approve it and send it to you. If I deny it to my father, my father will probably be unhappy."

Zhu Biao sighed.

"But if this continues, will you die of exhaustion?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, and finally understood how this guy disappeared in history. He was simply exhausted and died in government affairs.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"Dad doesn't trust those scholar-bureaucrats. The poor families, commoners, and even businessmen we promoted don't have enough status."

"If I want their help, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.

"You should tell dad about this."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Goodbye."

"With my father's character, if I told him it was too tiring, he would probably take the memorial and judge it himself."

"Rather than trouble dad, why don't I do it."

Zhu Biao shook his head.

Xiao Han:…

The two of them entered Kunning Palace, and saw that at this time, the maids from Kunning Palace had already begun to place dishes on the table.

It's somewhat late.

"You two brats came a little late today."

"Let's wait for a while."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xiao Han and Zhu Biao, he laughed and cursed.

"Cough cough!"

"Dad, I'm busy with state affairs, so I came a little late."

Zhu Biao coughed twice.

"Humph!"

"How busy can it be?"

"I don't know how many state affairs our Ming Dynasty has?"

"Fengxue, where is your boy?"

"Why are you here so late?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This...I heard some news and I'll lay it out for our Ming Dynasty."

"Father, you know that the prince handles the tactics, and I am responsible for the strategy."

Xiao Han chuckled.

While talking.

The dishes had been served, and Queen Ma also rushed over from the kitchen.

"Strategy, speaking of strategy, we just have something to say today."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and saw that Queen Ma, Zhu Biao, Chang Qingyun, Xiao Han, Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun were already seated, and he spoke.

"Dad, tell me."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We have been watching your two boys' strategies for some time."

"It seems to us that you two boys want to spread the majesty of the Ming Dynasty through business, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and asked.
