If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 120 Thinking about the future
At the Fengtian Palace Dinner, the real dragon came to the world, and the thunder struck down the officials who offended the real dragon. All the officials who impeached the real dragon were implicated and dismissed from office...

As expected, what happened in Fengtian Hall spread throughout Nanjing overnight.

However, as expected, the focus of the rumor is not whether the real dragon is the art of transformation or the illusion of monsters, but what exactly the court did to attract the real dragon to come to the world and punish those guilty with thunder. officials.

Do you think those officials are good officials?Are they asking for help from the people?
What a joke, if they were all good officials, how could they be struck to death by thunder?Or was he struck to death by lightning from the sky caused by the real dragon himself?
It must be that these officials did some evil deeds that made people angry, which caused the real dragon to come to the world, and the thieves of the country were punished to warn the emperor on earth.

Those officials who were dealt with naturally became the targets of criticism, and their reputations could be said to be instantly ruined. Even their families would be spat on when walking on the street.

In addition to dealing with the affairs of these officials in a timely manner, the imperial court should remove those who were dismissed from office, and those who deserved to have their heads beheaded to the execution ground. They also needed to make public announcements to appease the people and tell the people that the emperor did not do bad things and was not the emperor. Struck by lightning.

Although the common people would definitely not believe this, the notices from the imperial court could still play a certain role, and it would not really make people think that the emperor's virtues were not good enough, so that a real dragon came to the world as a warning.

All in all, with the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival feast at Fengtian Palace, Nanjing city will not be able to rest for a while.

It is naturally impossible to say that these things have nothing to do with Zhu Zhanchun. It can be said that every thing is related to him.

But it's not entirely clear how much these things have to do with him.

After all, it was only because of him that things happened, not because of all these things that involved him.

On the contrary, everyone is now trying their best to avoid involving Zhu Zhanyu in these things again, because no one wants to face a real dragon who can kill you with a thunder at any time.

Although Zhu Zhanjun said at the time that this was just a technique of change, in the eyes of others, even if it was just a technique of change, the thunder caused by it was real, and the official who impeached him was indeed hit hard. Not even ashes are left.

Therefore, even if others believed that Zhu Zhanquan was not a real dragon, they did not want to cause him to be chopped into ashes by a thunderbolt.

Zhu Zhanchun, who was already in a bad mood, was too lazy to take care of these things. When he returned to the military camp, he focused all his energy on planning for the future land after the vassal.

Although he has been granted the title of king and the fiefdom has been designated, this does not mean that Zhu Zhanquan will immediately become a vassal.

You must know that the construction of Tianjin City was only started in the second year of Yongle's reign under the emperor's order. So far, it is only a small town on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. If Zhu Zhanquan wants to become a vassal, the construction of the palace alone will not be completed in a short time. .

Before the construction of the palace is completed, Zhu Zhanquan can still stay in the capital for a while.

In fact, Zhu Zhanchen himself didn't have any opinions on the sooner or later he would become a vassal. From his point of view, it was the same whether he went early or late.

It's just that the matter of becoming a king and a vassal came too suddenly, and he really needed some time to make arrangements and prepare all the things for the vassal.

After all, becoming a feudal lord is not a trivial matter. If you don't make preparations in advance, arriving in the fiefdom will be no different than the capital city. When the time comes, all kinds of things will pile up and you will be in a hurry.

Regarding the prince's palace in the fiefdom, it may be a top priority for other vassal kings. During the Hongwu Dynasty, there were even cases where the vassal king disliked the palace and refused to go to join the vassal. But Zhu Zhanchen was the least concerned about this. .Whether the palace is well or badly built is the same to him. If he really can't live in it, he can live in a military camp.

Anyway, people who cultivate immortality don't need to be too picky in this regard, even if there is only one wooden pillar, they can settle down.

What Zhu Zhanjuan really needed to prepare carefully was the matter about the construction of the fiefdom and the three guards in Tianjin assigned to him by Zhu Di.

Zhu Zhanchun had actually been attracted to this place in Tianjin for a long time. Even before he traveled to the world of immortality for the second time, Zhu Zhanchun had been attracted to this land when he was still living in Peiping and thought it was a good place.

As a Sanhe seaport, Tianjin is connected to the Grand Canal and has a good port into the sea. With convenient water and land transportation, Tianjin naturally has the potential to develop business.

In addition, Tianjin is close to the sea and has been inhabited since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The local residents fished and cooked salt as a profession. There are many tidal flats and swamps, which were opened up for farming, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land.

It can be said that this place has quite good innate conditions for developing agriculture and commerce.

And more importantly, Tianjin is next to the future Beijing and Tangshan. One of these two places is the future political center of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is China's three major steel resource-rich areas. There is no doubt that the geographical location is superior.

According to Zhu Zhancheng's idea at the time, he could vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry in Tianjin, and then use this as a starting point to go north. Whether it was controlling North Korea or the Japanese country, it would be no problem. If he worked harder, he could cross the Bering Strait and reach the Americas.

When the time comes to bring back the seeds of high-yielding crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and develop the black soil in the Northeast, Ming will have enough capital to deal with the continuous natural disasters of the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, at that time, Zhu Zhanjun was still looking at the problem from a mortal perspective. Although many plans involved the future, they were only one-hundred-year plans.

For example, to control the Yellow River, the original plan proposed by Zhu Zhanquan was only to divert water to flush out sand and plant trees, and it would take decades or hundreds of years to see results.

But for Zhu Zhanqun now, how to control the Yellow River?
Using the power of a true dragon to dredge the water veins, and then using great magic power to reshape the forest vegetation, isn't this faster than letting people plant trees for decades?

Of course, Zhu Zhanquan would probably die of exhaustion if he really did this. After all, the Yellow River is not a small ditch. It is a large river that has been flooding for thousands of years. It is not an easy task to control it.

It's just that compared to himself when he was a mortal, Zhu Zhanquan now has more means to control the Yellow River, and the results can be faster and more effective.

After all, using the innate magical power of the True Dragon Clan to control the flow of the Yellow River is much faster than building dams to contain water and wash away sand. It can also effectively control problems such as sedimentation, river uplift, and river flooding.

However, the matter of regulating the Yellow River can be put off later. Compared with the long-term project of regulating the Yellow River, the matter of starting from Tianjin to defeat the Japanese country and occupying its gold and silver mountains can be put on the agenda.

After all, even if you want to regulate the Yellow River, you still need to spend money. After knocking down all the gold and silver mountains of Japan, the imperial court will have enough money to do these things with the inflow of silver, instead of relying on Zhu Zhanquan to manage it alone. Yellow River.
