This small town in Monan was originally an inconspicuous existence.

The city stands on the grassland. Before Zhu Xuan targeted it, it was ordinary. No one would take a second look. Even the herdsmen who came south from the grassland and secretly traded with Ming merchants would not stay in Guihua City, and even Won't pass by.

But things are different now.

Zhu Xuan drew a circle in the naturalization area and built a horse market, and trade began in this way.

The small town prospered after being naturalized.

Although trading with the grassland people is far less profitable than overseas trade, it can still be profitable. Many merchants are happy to transport their goods north. Coupled with the convenience of the railway, transporting goods is not difficult and the cost is low. high.

Prosperity is like this, appearing in naturalization.

The previously naturalized and short city walls had long been overthrown, and the entire city was rebuilt, covering a larger area. Such large cities were extremely rare in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that the city in the north could be so lively."

Zhu Gaosui said in amazement.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "If I had known it was so good here, we would have come here often to play."

Zhu Xuan looked at them and asked, "Are you free to leave Peiping and go to such a far away place?"

As the sons and relatives of the vassal king, they still had many things to avoid, including not being able to leave the fiefdom, walking around outside, and having contact with other vassal princes and important ministers in border towns, etc.

Zhu Gaoxu and the others left Peiping in such a casual manner, which was obviously against the rules and not quite right.

"We were just talking casually."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, please don't take it seriously. None of this is true."

Zhu Gaosui nodded repeatedly. They had already made many mistakes. If they added one more, they would be punished even more.

"Come into town!"

Zhu Xuan ignored them and continued walking to Guihua City.

Ping An had already sent the news of Zhu Xuan's arrival to the garrison in Guihua City in advance.

At this time, the garrison saw Zhu Xuan coming and hurried out to greet him. Their role was to enforce martial law and protect Zhu Xuan's safety in Guihua City. After all, there were so many people here and everyone was there, so it seemed quite chaotic.

Necessary security measures must not be omitted.

When Zhu Xuan arrived, the entire city's alert level increased to a higher level.

However, while improving, it cannot affect the normal trading of the horse market.

"The Jin Yiwei and my personal guards will follow into the city together."

"Others are stationed outside the city."

"This is our Ming Dynasty's place, and there are troops stationed here. I am safe."

Zhu Xuan said.

Even if there is really a danger, with so many guards and personal guards around, we can still resist for a while. As long as we resist it well and wait until the garrison comes to help, the problem will not be too big and we can deal with it.

"Yes!"

Ping An had no choice but to respond.

Although the prosperity in Guihua City is not as good as that in the capital, it is already pretty good in a place like this.

The horse market is located in the city. Now it is gradually changing its name and term. It is called the trade area like the one in Panyu, Guangzhou. The name of the horse market is about to become a thing of the past. On the first day of his arrival, Zhu Xuan did not inspect anything. Yes, live in the city first.

"How about it?"

Zhu Xuan called Jing Qing over and asked him.

Jing Qing said with admiration: "The naturalization before this must have been just a small city. Your Highness, if you put resources into naturalization, it can develop rapidly and form a big city in Monan, turning decay into magic!"

You must know that in Monan, there are only those barren border towns.

Naturalization, a newly developed city, subverted Jingqing's inherent understanding. He was shocked and admired by this.

Zhu Xuan said: "In the future, you will have to do similar things in Duogan Dusi. In five years, the initial scale should be completed. At that time, I will arrange for other officials to take over. The next batch of officials will also be able to relax a lot."

"My lord, take your orders!"

Jing Qing bowed and said.

Zhu Xuan said again: "This is not a court. We are talking in private, so you don't have to be so serious." Jing Qing also didn't want to be serious, but he didn't dare and his identity didn't allow it.

"The future Ming Dynasty will eventually control all of Mobei and Monan."

Zhu Xuan continued: "The grassland in the north is a large area of ​​land. If it is controlled, a lot of things can be done. Even if we don't let horses and sheep herd, it would still be good to cultivate some of it to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Potatoes and other things are not picky about climate or soil.

It can be planted even on sandy soil.

It is still in the initial stage of development. They do not need to consider the desertification problem caused by reclamation and farming on the grassland for the time being. It will not be too late to consider these problems when everything develops.

Today, it's too early.

"Your Highness is right!"

Jing Qing said in agreement.

I probably figured out part of Zhu Xuan's thoughts. He really wanted to be the king of the world.

Everything illuminated by the sun and moon is Ming Dynasty.

This idea is great. If it can be achieved, it will definitely be subversive to the future development of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xuan is definitely one of the great monarchs in history.

But how to do it is a question.

Some things are not yet easy to achieve.

This great idea only exists in the conception stage now.

Zhu Xuan said: "I'm just saying that it's not easy to do it. Okay, Mr. Jing, please go down and rest."

"I will leave first."

Jing Qing bowed and left.

Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Hou Xian, send Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui over."

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu had just arrived and were naturalized. They were still a little tired from the long journey. When they were about to take a rest, they were summoned by Zhu Xuan and had to go to Zhu Xuan's room.

After entering the door, they saw Zhu Xuan reading a book and bowed cautiously.

"Your Highness sent us here. What are your orders?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked first.

Zhu Xuan put down the book, thought for a while and asked: "Cousin Gao Xu, what do you think of the grassland?"

"It's big!"

Zhu Gaosui responded first.

The entire desert is indeed very large. When they arrived in the south of the desert and looked to the north, they saw an endless expanse.

Zhu Xuan asked again: "When you see such a big grassland, do you have any thoughts?"

This question made them stunned for a while.

The grassland is huge.

That's it.

Need any more ideas?

None of them could understand what Zhu Xuan meant by this sentence and what he wanted to express.

He just looked at Zhu Xuan blankly, feeling very confused.

"You don't have any idea?"

Seeing their silence, Zhu Xuan asked curiously.

As expected, they were not Zhu Gaochi. They were not smart at all. They had no way of understanding what he meant by what he said. All they could do was stand blankly.

Hearing this, they shook their heads.

I really don’t know how to respond to Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Gaosui asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what ideas can we have?"

Zhu Xuan: "..." (End of this chapter)
