Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 139: A Happy Face!

Chunhe Palace.

In the dead of night, Zhu Xiongying was still leaning over the desk, thinking about the conversation with the old man today.

This is the conflict between ideas.

Now that winter is at the head of the road, it is really inappropriate to propose road construction.

However, if the Ming Dynasty wants to develop, it is impossible to overcome the business. The business does have many disadvantages, but it cannot be abandoned because of choking, so road construction is also imperative.

But it needs to be brought up at a suitable time, and when is the right time, this is exactly what Zhu Xiongying needs to consider...

In the following time, Zhu Xiongying had no time to think about it.

On the second day, he took the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to Fangshan, where coal was mined, and Li Jinglong, the governor of the Left Army, accompanied him.

Because during this time, it was Li Jinglong who was in charge of coal mining in Fangshan.

Today's coal is only mined in a small part and has not yet formed a large scale. The coal here is not buried deep, so it is not difficult to mine, but there are not enough people.

In this era, coal mining can only be done purely by hand, but even so, it is much simpler than making charcoal.

Seeing the baskets of black coal being dug out, all the ministers were amazed that such a simple thing could solve the problem of keeping out the cold that caused the entire Ming Dynasty a headache.

"Zhao Shangshu, ask people to gather all the refugees from Yingtian City. The more people the better, let them dig coal, keep food and warm, and have wages!" Zhu Xiongying said to Zhao Mian, the Minister of the Household Department commanded.

"Sir, obey!"

Zhao Mian hastily bowed his hands to accept the order.

After hearing this, all the ministers were very excited. In this way, not only the heating problem of the common people was solved, but also the problem of refugees, which has always been a headache, was also solved.

For the next specific matters, Zhu Xiongying directly handed them over to Li Jinglong and several ministers, and they had to carefully consider the details and key points.

Zhu Xiongying didn't care about such details anymore.

A superior only needs to put forward the program, and then let the courtiers describe the details and implement it.

The role of good courtiers is very obvious at this time.

This is also the reason why ambitious and capable high-ranking people want to recruit talents. At the same time, it is conceivable that not long ago, Yan Wang Zhu Di gave up his promising young talent Zhang Fu, how reluctant he was.

At this time, Zhang Fu was standing behind Zhu Xiongying.

Ever since Zhang Fu followed Zhu Xiongying, he didn't dare to say anything more, and he didn't even talk much about him, and he stopped talking since then. He did whatever Zhu Xiongying asked him to do, and he obeyed, but his face was a little dull His expression had already betrayed him.

Zhu Xiongying was not in a hurry either, if Zhang Fu came over and licked his face to please him, he would not like it on the contrary.

After dealing with the coal issue, Zhu Xiongying did not stay too long in Fangshan. Everything was handled by the two ministers of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. He believed that they would handle this matter well. After all, they could sit in this position in the Hongwu Dynasty They are definitely not mediocre, even in terms of experience, they are even better than Zhu Xiongying.

After finally getting out of the palace, Zhu Xiongying originally wanted to find Xu Miaojin, but he suddenly thought of something, and said to Li Jinglong beside him: "Go, take me to see your left guard!"

"As ordered!"

Li Jinglong was overjoyed when he heard the words. Because of his old man Li Wenzhong, he loved military affairs the most in his life. He started reading military books since he was a child, and he has read several military books by now.

He is knowledgeable, but he is dedicated to being a general, and what he thinks in his heart is that one day, like his old man Li Wenzhong, he can lead the army, fight on the battlefield, and show off his military talents!
It's just that in the past few years, the military training has been practiced many times, and there is really no chance to go to the battlefield.

Now following the emperor's grandson and doing the work of a civil servant, in his opinion, this really buried his military talent. At this time, the emperor's grandson proposed to visit the army under his rule. Of course he would not like it. Forbidden, he finally had the opportunity to show off his military demeanor in front of the emperor's grandson...

……

On the other side, the Palace of Martial Arts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was pacing back and forth, with a look of annoyance on his face.

"Hey!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, returned to his seat and sat down, muttering in his mouth: "Stinky boy, you haven't come to see us for so many days, are you angry with us?"

His heart was as firm as iron all his life, and he didn't want to grow old but he couldn't pass the test of his children and grandchildren.

"Didn't you just come to talk to us when you figured it out, brat, haven't you figured it out all these days?"

"No, no, he's busy with coal these days and can't spare time, it must be like this!"

Thinking in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang began to blame himself. Originally, the family had a good meal, but he insisted on getting angry with the children. In a fit of anger, he didn't finish a good meal.

Maybe it's because I have too high expectations for my grandson, I hope he can do everything the same as me, according to his own ideas and rules.

Just like the prince back then, I also hope that he can be like me, decisive in killing and attacking the world.

But later, the prince confided to Queen Ma several times, saying that he was afraid of himself.

Now grandson, will it be the same, afraid of himself?
Maybe I am really old and pedantic, but Dasun's ideas are always so bold, and at the same time it is amazing, so it can still be like this!

Don't you just like Dasun like this?

However, Dasun's idea of ​​building roads is really too bold, even he doesn't know what the consequences will be if it is actually implemented.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to hesitate.

He originally wanted to let Zhu Xiongying hang out for a few days, let him think about it, and think about how the world should be governed.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that it was himself who couldn't help it.

"Forget it, it's a lot of age, what's the point of being angry with a child? By the way, we should also ask, what happened to the coal!"

As if he had found a reason, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, no longer hesitated, and was about to walk outside the house.

But at this time, the eunuch Liu Bao came in: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Household Department, please see me!"

"Shangshu Hubu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, then sat back on his seat and said, "Let him in!"

Zhao Mian entered and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the emperor!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and glanced at Zhao Mian, who was flushed and panting slightly: "What's the matter, so anxious?"

Zhao Mian quickly replied: "Return to Your Majesty, a good thing, a great good thing!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't think of any good things at this time, so he said with a slightly sullen face: "Quickly say it! It's best to really make us happy!"

Zhao Mian replied with joy on his face, "Your Majesty, the tea-horse market in Annan has come to fruition!"

"His Royal Highness advocates the establishment of a tea-horse trade market in Annan. It opened two months ago, and it has only been open for two months... Your Majesty, guess how much money it has earned for the treasury?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "Stop being wordy!"

Zhao Mian smiled and said, "There are more than 10 taels of silver, and more than [-] deniers of grain, equivalent to more than [-] taels of silver, Your Majesty!"

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't believe it and said: "What are you talking about? Annan's tea horse trader has been open for two months, and we have collected 10 taels of silver?"

Zhao Mian said firmly: "Yes!"

He had just received the news from Xia Yuanji over there, and the memorial should be delivered later, but he still took the first step, rushed back from Fangshan in a hurry, and told the good news to the emperor immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped in shock.

He originally looked down on foreign countries like Annan very much. Every time a foreign country came to pay tribute, he never asked for things in vain. Instead, he gave them more things.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying set up a tea-horse exchange market there, transporting tea, silk, porcelain, etc. from the Central Plains to sell, and getting so much money and food in exchange!

At first, he was not optimistic.

Because it's not that the imperial court did not open a tea-horse market, but most of them traded war horses with grassland areas, but never thought of exchanging money and food with other foreign countries.

Didn't expect it to have such a good effect!
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily: "Okay, our eldest grandson is really a genius! Hey, let's go find him now..."
