Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 599: Annan builds a flagship with five thousand materials and the emperor collects more than a thousand abandoned babies
Ranking the importance of Annan, Myanmar, North Korea, and Nanjing in his mind, Zhu Qiyu chose to read Annan's secret report first.

You don't know this, and you are shocked when you see it: "Oh, Xu Youzhen, Li Shulin, Yang Xinmin, Yue Zheng, Xue Xilian and others have built a warship with [-] materials in Annan. They say it has been built. Once the artillery is assembled next spring, it will be officially delivered to the Fujian Navy."

Lin Xiangyu asked from the side: "Is a warship made of five thousand materials very powerful?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "According to the information left by Zheng He, a warship with five thousand materials is the main ship for the Western Ocean.

Oops, it really hurts.I asked them to cut down teak from Burma and Siam and build a few large ships for testing first. After gaining experience, they could build super ships.

It's a good idea for these grandpas to come up and work for me for [-] yuan. That's about the limit of a wooden boat.

It will take 50 to [-] years for a teak tree to grow to the point where it can be used to build a giant ship. If you cut down one teak tree, you will lose one tree.

They have finished cutting them, so what will my son and grandson use?

Well, let the cabinet draft a decree to list teak as a strictly controlled material, which is only allowed to be distributed by the court, and is not allowed to be cut, bought, sold, or used by the public. "

Lin Xiangyu asked again: "To build such a large warship, husband, can you find a rival?"

"Yes, why not? Japan is my opponent. Although Japan's national strength is far inferior to that of Ming Dynasty, in war, we must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.

The reason why I have not been defeated in the five years since I took the throne is because I never underestimate my opponents.

Japan and North Korea not only have the trade value I want, but the populations of these two small countries are not large at all.

Although there are no specific figures, the population of Japan and North Korea will never be less than 500 million.

After conquering the two countries, we can not only sell domestic goods but also utilize the manpower of the two countries.

In addition, North Korea has mountains of rare goods, and Japan has gold and silver mines. After eating them, the Ming Dynasty's national power increased dramatically, and it no longer needed to squeeze the people so hard internally.

Although people now think that I am unnecessary, in another 500 years, future generations will understand my great achievements. "

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Qiyu continued: "In addition to building ships, Xu Youzhen and the others also continued to recruit Yao people, preparing to build another army of 6 or [-] people, and then attack Champa City.

According to Gaoping's secret report, this group of Yao people were extremely enthusiastic, and they were all crying and clamoring to join the army.

The two most troublesome problems in the south are the Miao people and the Yao people.

Now that everything has been resolved, the next step is to move the Han people to the south. We must ensure that in Annan, Myanmar and other provinces, Han people account for at least [-]%. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Don't tell me, my husband previously requested a trial in Jiangxi to collect abandoned babies.

These people were really enthusiastic about throwing away babies. In such a short period of time, more than 1000 babies had been sent over.

Most of them are baby girls. How should the husband arrange them?

Jingzhao Mansion treats people as hot potatoes and is not very willing to take over.Husband, what do you think we should do? "

Zhu Qiyu asked: "What do you think we should do?"

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Anyway, our family has a lot of land. I will pick some with pretty features and keep them in the Siyuan Prison. The rest will be raised in the farm."

In fact, it can’t be called a farm anymore, it should be called a village.Our family has too much land, and the tenants who farm our land are not one by one, but village by village. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, teach them to read and write from an early age, teach them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and then send them to the frontier for resettlement after they are ten years old.

If the government doesn't want to do these thankless and tiring jobs, then we'll have to bear the burden ourselves.But there is also an advantage. In the future, our pro-army personnel will be selected from these people.After all, they were raised by their own family. Generally speaking, their loyalty is somewhat stronger than those chosen from outside. "

Ningxiang smiled and said: "I know, the slave family thinks so too."

Zhu Qiyu took Ningxiang into his arms and asked with a smile: "Usually you always say you don't want to do this or that, but I think your supervision of Siyuan is pretty good.

This invisible 'West Factory' is much easier to use than the East Factory and the 'Inner Factory'.

Not only is your person a good spy, but he can also help me win over my confidants.

Liu Chang always had a sad face before. Ever since you gave him four concubines, I see that his mental state is really lively and powerful. "

Ningxiang started to act coquettishly when she heard this: "Don't mention this matter now. The slave family has been afraid to go out recently. The last time the slave family went to Qingyun Pavilion to give snacks to her husband, Wang Lin somehow bumped into her.

Then he rushed up and lay at the slave's feet, crying.The slave family tried their best to persuade him, but it didn't work. In the end, they had to give him four concubines before finally sending him away.

Since then, the unmarried commanders and commanders of the Yingzhou Guard have taken the opportunity to guard the guards and wait for the enemy in various places in our palace every day.

The slave family has become a little white rabbit. It is easy to cultivate a few girls that they like, but before they are used, those unscrupulous new army commanders will snatch them away. "

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "I can't help it. It seems that you have a good reputation. The girls you train are very popular."

Lin Xiangyu teased: "The girl trained by this girl is carved out of the same mold as her. She is gentle, playful, good at acting coquettishly, and good at dressing up, and she is extremely shameless. Who doesn't like this kind of woman?" ah."

Ningxiang pretended to be angry and scolded: "What do you mean, you are all extremely shameless, and they are carved out of the same mold as me. Is there anyone who has such a flattering look like you? I am so grateful to you."

Lin Xiangyu retorted with an innocent face: "Look, I am so shameless when I am sleeping with my husband. But you are even more shameless than me. You dare to try any kind of mood. The rest of us sisters are ashamed of ourselves." , isn’t this true? How come I have wronged you?”

Hearing this, Ningxiang broke away from Zhu Qiyu's arms and was about to pinch Lin Xiangyu.Upon seeing this, Qianxue, Suxi, and Linglong also stepped forward to help, and the Hehuan Hall was suddenly filled with laughter and laughter.

……

In the last three months of Jingtai's fourth year, everything went according to plan and everything was uneventful.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and even the Mongols in the north are no longer acting like monsters.The Jurchens and North Koreans in the Northeast also stayed at home and secretly gathered strength.

However, these people have not yet realized that the strategic focus of the Emperor of Heaven has shifted to the north.

November 20th, in the past [-] years, this day has been one of the most important days in Ming Dynasty.

But this time it was deserted. No matter in Beijing or Nanjing, there were no loyal ministers clamoring to celebrate the Longevity Festival for their orthodox emperor.

Only the emperor himself still spent a lot of money to make a lacquered gold screen and gave it to King Yi as a birthday gift.

It was nearly noon, and the emperor's oral message was personally delivered to the cabinet by Wang Cheng, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of etiquette: Concubine Lu of Xuanmiao has been suffering from headaches every day since the beginning of winter, and has been getting worse in recent days.

The cabinet, together with the Ministry of Rites, posted a list of people seeking medical treatment in the capital. Those famous folk doctors who could rejuvenate themselves would not only be highly rewarded, but could also be recruited into the Imperial Hospital as medical officers.

When they heard that Concubine Ru of Xuanmiao was seriously ill, the cabinet ministers paid great attention to her.Is it necessary for the emperor to issue an order to seek medical treatment if he is sick enough?
After Wang Cheng delivered the order, he turned around and left.By the time everyone reacted, Wang Cheng had already disappeared.

The cabinet ministers looked at each other in shock and had no choice but to urge the Ministry of Rites to post a list in the capital to seek medical treatment.
