Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 184 King Qin's territory has grown bigger again (I wish everyone good luck in the new year!)

This time, the Qin Palace in Panyu Prefecture was quite lively.

How lively is it?
It's popular.

First of all, there are Zhu Xi and Xu Miaoyun, as well as Wang Minmin and Ai Suda. Princess Huizi also lives in the Qin Palace. The Luo sisters have not moved in yet...

Zhu Xi hides her beauty in the golden house.

After all, they had just gotten married, so it was not a good idea to bring the little wife in right away.

Of course, Xin Ying also lives in Qin Palace.

Then there is Queen Ma. This is my mother. Zhu Xi specially arranged for her to live in a courtyard by herself. She also brought a dozen maids, all of whom followed her.

There are dozens of people.

In addition, there is Xu Da's family.

Zhu Biao and his wife, with their children, can be considered a family.

Daotong recruited a group of girls and sent them to serve as palace maids.

The salary is high, and unlike the maids in the palace, this is considered work in the Qin Palace, and it is a contract system. You can leave when the time is up, and you can also resign if there are special circumstances.

If it's in the palace, then you have to stay there for the rest of your life.

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the palace, with people everywhere, Zhu Xi couldn't help but sigh to everyone: "This makes it feel like a home!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of Zhu Fang coming to Lingnan to work hard alone.

And, after returning home every day, there is no one to talk to.

Everyone was silent for a while.

But Zhu Xi was very happy, and even said that he had prepared a banquet in the evening, just for the family, to have a good taste of what this new drinking party in the Lingnan area is like!

Different from the meandering drinking wine of the ancients, tonight's cocktail party is completely in the global style of later generations.

Goblets, various drinks, different pastries, even meals, and fruit platters are all available, and they are all available for casual consumption.

To be honest, if it weren't for the limitations of the times, Zhu Xi would even want to have a pool party.

However, such an idea may have to wait for a long time before it can be realized slowly.

In the evening, Dao Tong and Yao Guangxiao came to find him.

Zhu Xi met the two of them in the study room and closed the door.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Highness, Peng'e, the king of Champa City, has repeatedly provoked us. We, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, followed your Highness's orders and only defended the border and did not go beyond the boundaries. When can we attack?"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Xi said in a deep voice: "The land of South Vietnam is mostly covered with mountains and forests, and there is miasma, which is more eye-catching than Lingnan. Moreover, there are all kinds of ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, which are also dangerous. However, I have ordered the production of Special combat uniforms, fully sealed, and also equipped with gas masks. When autumn comes in October and the weather gets much better, we can start a counterattack!"

If you ask Zhu Xi, what is the most precious thing in the Lingnan region now?
Is it him, the King of Qin?

Zhu Ming might nod. The whole of Lingnan belongs to him, and he cannot be regarded as belonging to Lingnan, so he would still shake his head.

So……

Is it the Qin Palace?

Indeed, the Qin Palace is luxurious enough.

But Zhu Ping would still shake his head.

Various technologies and high-rise buildings, in his opinion, even if these things are gone, they can still be built in the future.

Therefore, for Zhu Xi, the most precious thing at present is people.It's the population!
Without a population, where would the soldiers come from?
Who will be responsible for construction?

Zhu Ping's conscription has always been one out of one hundred, and the highest number is one out of eighty adult men.

Therefore, Zhu Ping's soldiers are really not enough.

This time, Zhu Ping arranged not many troops to fight against the Chen Dynasty of South Vietnam.

Even if the numbers are revealed, others will probably be worried...

In total, there are only 3 people!
Such a small number of people, let alone the Ming Dynasty, even during the Warring States Period, would not be enough to kill a war.

However, Zhu Ping was confident.

Because his soldiers are well equipped.

There is a special place in Panyu Prefecture.

It is also the second formal university in Panyu Prefecture, the Military Academy!

In the military academy, there are not only instructors and students who train soldiers, but also students who assist in researching tactics, strategies, and making suggestions. There are even talents who research and develop various military equipment and serve as key personnel.

Zhu Ping is the type who is determined to arm his soldiers to the teeth.

The most important premise is that the safety of soldiers must be guaranteed when fighting.

Therefore, gas suits and gas masks must be prepared before attacking South Vietnam.

After receiving Zhu Xiang's reply, Yao Guangxiao nodded, and then Daotong handed over a plan and said: "Your Highness, this is the construction plan for the entire Panyu Prefecture this year, and there is also the construction plan for Huizhou Prefecture in the second half of the year. In the plan, It also includes plans to develop Dongguan County and add a deep-water port in Huizhou Prefecture, please take a look at it!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Xi nodded and started to read.

This looks like half an hour.

The descriptions in the planning book are very detailed, because this is what Zhu Xi requested.

If it's not detailed enough, he won't get rewards for construction points!
However, in the eyes of Dao Tong and others, this is where King Qin was diligent in his administration.

Whether it is Daotong or Yao Guangxiao, looking at Zhu Xiang who is meticulously reading the planning book, his eyes are filled with joy and satisfaction, and he even feels faintly proud...proud to have such a King of Qin!
After closing the planning book, Zhu Xi said: "I have paid a visit to the king, so we will do it according to this. However, we need to recruit a group of civilians and soldiers. The number of civilians is about 30, and the number of soldiers is about [-]. Slowly, we will recruit a group of civilians and soldiers. Come on, you don’t have to be too anxious. It’s enough to recruit them before September. Then Mr. Yao can promote some officials appropriately and keep them as backup.”

"30 civilians..."

Dao Tong frowned in embarrassment and asked: "Your Highness, there are so many people, can you tell me where they are going to be used?"

30 million!

For the current Lingnan, it is not a small number to recruit so many men with labor force.

It is estimated that all places in Lingnan will have to find ways to mobilize them.

This is no small matter.

Apart from anything else, raising so many people is a huge expense.

Although he is rich now, Daotong still has the temperament to save money when he can. At this point, he might as well have been 'sent' to Xiang Hai in Huizhou Prefecture by Zhu Cang, and he is a bit petty.

He is the master who must account for every account clearly and never allow an extra penny to be spent.

Zhu Xi smiled and said: "What else? When I come back this time, I have an extra territory... Well, actually, it is the territory of my royal brother, the former prince, and the current King of the Sea. The entire Penghu Islands, including Gaoshan Island, Now they all belong to me! Then I, of course, have to build it up, right?"

Yao Guangxiao and Daotong were shocked when they heard this.

King Qin's territory expanded again?
