Chu Ze's face became solemn when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully: "Although the Tatar barbarians are barbaric, they have a keen sense of smell in some aspects. If they really find some powerful 'travelers', it will not be good news for our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Even if there really is such a person, can he be compared with our 'Chongxin Hou'? In my opinion, the Tatars are just working in vain."

Chu Ze shook his head and said sternly, "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. The levels of the time travelers are uneven, and each has their own strengths. If you let them help the tyrants in the military and technological fields, the consequences will be disastrous."

"My dear minister, what good ideas do you have?" Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright.

"I believe that there are two urgent tasks: first, to set up checkpoints at important passes and strictly check people entering and leaving to prevent spies from sneaking in; second, to open up more avenues for talent, recruit talents, select the best and recruit them, make up for our shortcomings, and strive to eliminate intrigues." Chu Ze analyzed in detail.

"Great!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his hands on the table. "These two measures can be said to be a two-pronged approach, improving both the inside and the outside. In accordance with your words, I will issue an edict to promulgate the new policy."

That night, an imperial edict was issued from the capital and spread like wildfire. It read:
The emperor issued an edict: Recently, the Tatars have repeatedly harassed our borders, intending to covet our Ming Dynasty. In order to consolidate the foundation and protect the territory and the people, the new policies are as follows: First, all localities are required to take strict precautions, set up checkpoints at the passes and important roads, strictly check the people entering and leaving, prevent traitors and eliminate evil;
Second, establish schools, hold examinations to select scholars, reward newcomers generously, and recruit talents. We will recruit talents regardless of their background, but seek their strengths to serve the country. Third, appoint Chongxin Hou Chuze as the Prime Minister of the New Deal, and all military affairs, military preparations, money, grain and taxes will be under his command. From the king to the common people, no one shall disobey. If the Ming Dynasty wants to maintain long-term stability in the future, it depends on the full support of the ministers. This is my decree!
When the imperial edict was issued, the whole country was in an uproar. All the officials nodded secretly and were convinced.

"It is said that people should be put to their best use and things should be put to their best use. With the presence of Lord Chongxin, he will surely select talented people for the Ming Dynasty and create a new trend for the new generation!"

"That's right. With such a wise new policy, why should we worry about the Tatars causing trouble?"

"Not to mention the Chongxin Marquis himself. He is a genuine future man. I wonder how much knowledge he has in his head."

As a result, people were excited and full of expectations for the future. ..At the same time, there were new developments on the Tatar side.

In a tent deep in the Mobei grassland, a group of Tatar chieftains and shamans sat around a campfire, listening to a mysterious man in a black robe.

"Everyone, there is a time traveler in the Ming Dynasty, but doesn't there exist one in Tatar?" the mysterious man said in a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean? Could it be that there is also a 'man of the future' hidden in our tribe?" a leader asked suspiciously.

"Haha, you guys don't know this." The mysterious man smiled sinisterly, "I am a person who traveled through time and space to help Tatar change his fate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Tatars were immediately furious.

"Ah?! Is this true?"

"Could it be that he is really from the future?"

"Hurry up and ask the Chanyu to come and see this 'strange man'!"

There was a lot of discussion and excitement at the moment.

Soon, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came into the tent. It was the Khan of Tatar.

"Have you really traveled through time?" The Chanyu looked the mysterious man up and down, still somewhat skeptical.

"I am an expert in time travel, proficient in knowledge about the future, and have already been a leader in the industry in the 21st century. I believe I can help Chanyu dominate the world!" The mysterious man boasted.

"Oh? Do you have any real evidence to prove your identity as a time traveler?" Chanyu asked.

"Of course." The mysterious man took out a black thing from his arms calmly and shook it in front of everyone.

"Miss, please allow me to show you a magical invention of modern society - the mobile phone! I guarantee it will open your eyes!"

With a beep, the black thing actually lit up! It was colorful, with pictures and texts, and it was ever-changing.

"What kind of witchcraft is this?" The Tatars were so scared that they stepped back, their eyes almost popped out. "Don't panic! Look, everyone, this is just a communication tool used by people in the future." The mysterious man was calm and tapped the screen back and forth with his fingers, and the screen kept flashing.

"With it, we can talk at any time even if we are thousands of miles apart, just like chatting face to face."

"Not only that, the 'Baidu' and 'Google' in the mobile phone have gathered all the knowledge in the world, knowing everything."

These words struck the Tatars as if they were struck by lightning. They looked at each other in bewilderment and were speechless for a long time.

After a while, the Chanyu came back to his senses, shaking with excitement: "Great, great! You are indeed a future talent! With such a magical item in hand, are you worried about not being able to defeat the time traveler from the Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course." The mysterious man smiled proudly, "If Lord Chanyu can give me the position of 'Time Traveling Military Advisor', I will definitely be able to make plans and help the Tatars conquer the Central Plains!"

"Hahaha, no need to say more about this matter. I shall shoulder the responsibility of serving as the military advisor!" The Chanyu laughed loudly and immediately ordered his attendants to prepare wine to celebrate the victory.

A long-planned conspiracy thus began.

The news soon reached the Ming Dynasty. This mysterious "time-traveling military strategist" became famous overnight, making countless ministers uneasy.

"There's a time traveler from Tatar as well. What should we do now?"

"I heard that this person has extraordinary skills and is omnipotent. It's really chilling."

"Quickly report this to Lord Chongxin and ask him to make the decision!"

So, all the ministers wrote to Chu Ze, asking him for advice.

Chu Ze received the report, but he was not flustered. Instead, he sneered: "This is exactly what I want. I want to see how powerful this 'time-traveling military strategist' is!"

"Come here, prepare the horses for me. Let's rush to the border and meet this uninvited guest!"

In this way, a peak showdown between time travelers is inevitable. Who will win the competition of future technology? People all over the world are eagerly waiting.

The next morning.

Yizhou, on the city wall.

Chu Ze was dressed in military uniform, with eyes as sharp as torches, gazing into the distance at the vast wilderness outside the Great Wall.

In the morning mist, a black dot could be vaguely seen approaching rapidly.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was a man riding a fast horse. The man on the horse was dressed in black and was as elusive as a Jinyiwei.

"Oh, that's him."

Chu Ze sneered and gave an order: "Let him in!"

The city gate burst open and the man in black kicked his horse's belly and rushed in like an arrow.

When he was almost at the foot of the city wall, he reined in his horse and looked up at Chu Ze: "Chongxin Hou Chu Ze, I have long heard of your great name! I am the Tatar military advisor, and I have come to learn your unique skill of time travel!"

"Military advisor, you are too polite." Chu Ze stood with his hands behind his back, speaking sarcastically, "But I am the dignified 'Marquis of Chongxin', and you, a Tartar barbarian, are you worthy of 'meeting' with me? Aren't you afraid of bringing disgrace upon yourself?" (End of this chapter)
