The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 6 The Mystery of Life Experience
The south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and the current Daming Jiangnan is also the most prosperous place in the world.

But Zhu Ying didn't like it.

Three years ago, Zhu Ying let the caravan pass after his basic position on the grasslands of the Western Regions stabilized.

But because there are too many honorable clans, he came back after touching his nose.

From Zhu Ying's point of view, the border areas of the Ming Dynasty are more comfortable, and they can do whatever they want.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Apart from not provoking Daming's army, in other respects, Zhu Ying can say arrogantly that this is my territory.

There are sharp weapons such as snowflake salt to open the way, whether it is the officials on the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, or the ministers of many small countries, and the royal family.

Including many tribes on the grassland and many forces in the Western Regions, they all have deep contacts with Zhu Ying.

It is claimed that the snowflake salt comes from overseas fan merchants. After the early primitive accumulation, Zhu Ying established a huge benefit system through the agent system.

The more people get, the more greedy they will be, and Zhu Ying is certainly not exempt.

As far as the current Daming is concerned, it is impossible to rebel, so very early on, he had the idea of ​​​​founding a country overseas.

Now Zhu Ying already has a small-scale firearms research base, but the progress is too speechless.

I haven't produced a working one in two years, and it can be regarded as fireworks at best.

After all, almost all firearms craftsmen are in the hands of the Ming government.

The foundation of those researchers is too poor, and it takes a lot of thought and time just to cultivate the basics.

Even with the vision of future generations, Zhu Ying estimates that it will take at least ten years to reach the current level of Daming Firearms.

If the Bingzhan Bureau can recruit a few old craftsmen, it can be worth several years of research.

From this point of view, the capital must go.

"Notify the various responsible persons of the chamber of commerce to immediately break it up into parts and set off for the Jiangnan area. Don't be afraid of spending money or losing money."

"Arrange hundreds of people to go there and wait for my orders at any time."

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Ying gave Zhang Bo another order.

It may not be possible to abduct it now, but it may be possible to abduct it. The subsequent retreat must be planned first.

"Yes, my boss, I'll arrange it right away."

Although Zhang Bo didn't understand what his boss meant, but his boss had a plan and he just had to follow orders.

After arranging everything, after dinner, Zhu Ying went back to her room to rest after dark.

There are no entertainment activities at night these days, maybe there are in the south of the Yangtze River, but after dark in Beiping, the streets are quiet and quiet, except for a few brothels that are still lit.

Elsewhere, it was already pitch black.

For women, Zhu Ying is not very interested in it for the time being, and she is licking blood at the knife edge, and she has more days of wandering.

Getting married is currently a luxury for Zhu Ying.

Of the three five-year plans set, Zhu Ying has now reached two.

The first five years, to establish their own forces: completed.

The second five-year period, to stabilize the basic market and expand influence: completed.

The third five-year period, developing industry, manufacturing firearms, and founding overseas countries: in progress.

"I think after this trip to the capital, I should be able to find a place to develop stably."

Zhu Ying, who was sitting in front of the desk, couldn't help being a little proud at the moment.

Not every person from later generations can achieve such an achievement in the early Ming Dynasty.

"It's a pity that you can't see all this, father."

After a short period of complacency, Zhu Ying felt a little emotional again.

Zhu Ying is no stranger to Nanjing.

Ten years ago, when Zhu Ying woke up, she turned into a child about eight or nine years old.

The father Zhu Ying mentioned was the adoptive father who adopted him at that time.

The adoptive father was a businessman, surnamed Zhu, who had been traveling around for many years, and picked him up outside Nanjing, on the edge of the Yangtze River.

The adoptive father's ancestors were refugees at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he settled in a certain township in Huai'an and started a business as a merchant.

The adoptive father's wife died of dystocia, gave birth to a son, and died of cold and cold in the life of wandering with the adoptive father.

At that time, Zhu Ying was about eight or nine years old, and had no memory of her original body, so she had to pretend to have amnesia.

Seeing that Zhu Ying was about the same age as his deceased son, the adoptive father decided that this was a son given to him by God.

So Zhu Ying was adopted.

Because the adoptive father and son died of illness on the way earlier, the adoptive father took Zhu Ying to do business for a few years, and when he returned home, he claimed that Zhu Ying was his own son earlier.

The adoptive father has been in business all year round and rarely returns home, so the villagers don't care too much.

The name Zhu Ying came from the fact that when her adoptive father picked up Zhu Ying, she was almost naked with some tattered cloth strips on her body.

The cloth strips are incomplete, but at the break in a certain area, an English character embroidered with gold thread can be vaguely seen.

The adoptive father's son didn't have a real name, he only had the nickname of a dog's egg, so he simply named him Zhu Ying.

That piece of cloth is still kept by Zhu Ying and placed in the territory of the Western Regions.

The cloth is Shu brocade, which is extremely luxurious.

Obviously, the predecessor's life experience should be good.

Just being sunk in the river, it is estimated that either the family was overthrown, or it was caused by the family killing each other.

Zhu Ying didn't bother to bother.

This is not a later life, and it is difficult to find it with only a rag.

The past is gone like the wind, just live well.

In the early morning of the next day, people gathered outside the gate of King Yan's mansion.

Among them, the most eye-catching is a carriage, which is obviously prepared for Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di didn't want to bring the eldest son there, but there was no other way, the etiquette was like this.

The crown prince died, if Zhu Di brought his second son to mourn, he might be sprayed by the officials.

That is the existence that even his father, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, dared to spray.

Can't afford to offend.

In King Yan's mansion, there are guards reporting to Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, there was no abnormality in Zhu Ying's location last night. She has just brought her luggage to the Palace and will arrive soon."

Zhu Di, King of Yan, laughed and said, "This son is quite acquainted, let me know and get ready to go immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guards left on the front foot, and Yao Guangxiao came on the back foot.

"Master Daoyan, are you planning to go to the capital together?" Looking at Yao Guangxiao's backpack, Zhu Di couldn't help asking.

"I haven't seen some old friends in the capital for a long time. I'm going to contact them this time. By the way, I will also help His Highness look after Zhu Ying, so as not to miss important things." Yao Guangxiao explained.

Zhu Di nodded. Yao Guangxiao's network in the capital is still very good. The leaders of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are all closely related to him.

It may be of great help in some respects.

"At that time, Master and Quanzi, Zhu Ying, will take a car together."

Zhu Di thoughtfully said that Yao Guangxiao is not too young now, and riding a horse is too tiring. Although the carriage is a bit bumpy, it is better than riding a horse anyway.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yao Guangxiao thanked him with a bow.

At this time, outside the gate of King Yan's mansion, Zhu Ying arrived with more than ten subordinates.

Zhu Gaochi waited at the door for a long time, but when he saw Zhu Ying, he greeted him intimately.
