Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Since the Ming Dynasty unified the world, the imperial court has used global resources to develop the Central Plains. Among these efforts, the construction of the capital city was of paramount importance. After three or four years of hard work, the capital city has basically reached its peak.

Looking down at the entire capital from this high altitude, one can clearly see the smoke billowing from the chimneys of various workshops, and at the same time, many cement houses are rising from the ground.

This is the capital city.

Today, it is the most developed region in the world.

It is also the most prosperous region.

Even ordinary people in the capital city live quite well, eating meat at every meal.

"Hero."

"Is this our Great Ming Dynasty?"

"I never imagined that things would change so much in just a few years." On the back of the Quetzalcoatl, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally in a great mood after witnessing the development of the capital.

This is the situation that Zhu Yuanzhang hoped to see.

"Grandpa, this is nothing. Don't worry, the development of our Great Ming will definitely be even more prosperous in the future! At that time, it will completely refresh your understanding."

Zhu Ying was well aware that although the Ming Empire had already entered the steam age, there was still a long way to go before it could truly become a modern society.

However, in some respects, the Ming Dynasty was actually comparable to modern society.

For example, pterosaurs.

In modern society, people own airplanes in the sky, but in the Ming Dynasty, the wealthy had also largely achieved this freedom of flight.

However... the people here don't travel by airplane, but by riding these pterosaurs.

In recent years, besides building spiritual veins, Guo Zhen's other important task has been to capture all kinds of dinosaurs in this [prehistoric world].

Then, through this [space portal], the captured dinosaurs were continuously transported to Beiping City.

Besides being used for military purposes, many of these dinosaurs were actually sold by the government.

Especially pterosaurs!
This is undoubtedly the most beloved dinosaur among the wealthy people of the Ming Dynasty, without exception.

This pterosaur not only possesses outstanding combat capabilities, but most importantly, it can fly into the sky, and it can even carry humans through the air!

After several years of development, the pterosaur has become a means of transportation just like trains and ships.

And it's a favorite among the wealthy.

Now, high above the capital, one can see a large number of pterosaurs flying, and each pterosaur carries a human on its back.

Because pterosaurs had varying abilities, some could fly higher while others flew very low. Therefore, the government classified them according to their flight altitude and endurance.

among them.

The higher the pterosaur flies and the greater its endurance, the higher its price naturally becomes.

Of course.

Of all these pterosaurs, the one that flies the highest and has the greatest endurance is Zhu Ying's Wind God Pterosaur.

Moreover, this Quetzalcoatlus was quite large.

It is almost several times larger than that of a typical pterosaur.

“Xiongying, why are there so many pterosaurs in the sky? But they don’t look like a pterosaur legion.” Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed the presence of these large numbers of pterosaurs.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying patiently replied, "Old man, you may not know this, but pterosaurs are now found all over the Ming Empire."

"what?"

"Is this true?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately showed doubt after hearing what Zhu Ying said.

It's important to know that during this short period, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the palace, enjoying life and occasionally going into seclusion for spiritual cultivation. As for state affairs, he basically didn't concern himself with them.

Most matters were handled by Zhu Biao and other officials.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao then explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, what Xiong Ying said is absolutely true. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of pterosaurs in the Central Plains."

"A rough estimate would be that there were probably 50,000 pterosaurs!"

When Zhu Biao finished speaking, it still greatly shocked Zhu Yuanzhang. He never expected that in just a few years, 50,000 pterosaurs had been purchased by the people.

And it became this means of transportation.

"so much?"

"But if all these pterosaurs are bought by the people and used as transportation, wouldn't the combat effectiveness of our pterosaur legion decrease?"

Zhu Ying was the first to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about that. Most of the pterosaurs that have entered the market are weaker ones, while the stronger ones have already been recruited into the pterosaur army."

"Therefore, the combat power of the Ming Empire's Winged Dragon Legion will not decrease; on the contrary, it will become even stronger."

"After all, the pterosaurs that can be selected for this pterosaur army are all the best, and have gone through multiple rounds of selection."

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately lit up with a satisfied smile.

"That's good, that's good!"

"The Ming Empire must prioritize military strength. Only with a strong military can our Ming Empire remain invincible forever."

……

After discussing the pterosaurs, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that there were many triceratops along the road.

In fact, before the Ming Dynasty unified the world, a considerable number of people in the Central Plains region had already begun to purchase Triceratops from the government.

After all, compared to pterosaurs, triceratops were more docile and had considerable stamina, making them suitable as both a means of transportation and a helper for human labor.

It has many uses.

That is why the Triceratops of the Ming Dynasty became a highly sought-after commodity.

now.

On the official roads of the Ming Dynasty, horses were no longer the most common animals; instead, Triceratops were found all over the roads.

Of course.

If ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty wanted to travel to more distant areas and wanted to travel at reasonable prices, then taking the train was still the first choice.

From this high altitude, one can see that the railways of the Ming Dynasty were extensive and interconnected.

Moreover, the capital city has an especially large number of railways.

In fact, most railways originated in this imperial capital and then extended outwards in all directions.

Most importantly, with the development of the Ming Empire, the number of train carriages and trains increased significantly.

This train runs at high speed on almost every railway line!
When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao saw the extensive railway network and trains, they were naturally filled with emotion.

"U.A., the number of railways has indeed increased noticeably compared to before."

Even Zhu Biao, the crown prince, couldn't help but sigh.

Although Zhu Biao attended court every day and had a clear understanding of the development of the Ming Empire,

but.

When Zhu Biao looked down from the sky at the dense network of railways and trains of the Ming Empire, he was naturally filled with emotion.

but.

Compared to Zhu Biao, Zhu Ying, the founder of the railways of the Ming Dynasty, appeared quite calm.

after all.

All of this was part of Zhu Ying's plan.

In fact, according to Zhu Ying's thinking, the current number of railways and trains in the Ming Empire was not enough. In Zhu Ying's view, the number of railways in the Ming Empire should at least double!
Only in this way.

Only then can the people of the Great Ming Empire truly enjoy convenience.

"Father, this is nothing. In the future, the number of railways in our Great Ming Empire will definitely be much greater."

"Moreover, with the Ming Empire's national strength rising again, it's possible that in the future, the people of the Ming Empire won't need to pay for train rides at all."

"what?"

"Xiongying, if the people don't pay, won't our court lose money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Ying immediately after hearing that the railway would be free in the future.

Zhu Ying smiled slightly and patiently explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Old man, don't be too anxious. This is just one of my plans."

"At present, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty still have to pay a certain fee to take the train, but compared with a few years ago, the fee has been significantly reduced."

Just then.

Zhu Yuanzhang then saw that there were quite a few workshops operating on the outskirts of the capital.

Simultaneously.

Outside this workshop, there were also many Triceratops and Pteranodons used for hauling goods, as well as various horse-drawn carriages.

"U.A., what is this area?"

Why are there so many workshops?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a curious expression, but before Zhu Ying could answer, Zhu Biao explained, "Father, this area is the largest workshop district in the Ming Empire."

What is a workshop area?

"This workshop area, as the name suggests, is an area full of workshops. The reason for establishing this workshop area is essentially for unified management."

"Most of these workshops mainly focus on silk, iron smelting, and porcelain!"

"It is a core commodity in the Central Plains region."

“Every day, countless pieces of silk, iron, and porcelain are transported to various states of the Ming Empire!”

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said slowly, "Good. After establishing this workshop area, we can manage the workshops and factories in a unified manner, and also give the people an extra source of income."

"This is a good thing for the Ming Empire and its people."

It is clear that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the current development of the Ming Empire.

next second.

Zhu Yuanzhang then sincerely said to Zhu Ying, "Xiong Ying, this is all thanks to you."

"Without you, our Ming Dynasty would not be so vibrant and the people would not live in peace and prosperity."

"Naturally, it would not be able to unify the world."

This is absolutely Zhu Yuanzhang's true feeling.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that with his talent and ability, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to develop to such an extent in just a few years.

Zhu Ying humbly replied, "Old Master, your contribution is greater."

"Without your support, the various policies of the Ming Empire would naturally not be implemented, and without the implementation of these policies, the Ming Empire would not make any progress."

"So, in the end, you are the key to the strength of the Ming Empire."

that's it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying suddenly engaged in mutual flattery.

This made Zhu Biao, who was standing to the side, quite embarrassed.

“Xiongying, don’t be so modest. I’m just a rough man who doesn’t know many characters. The fact that the Ming Dynasty is what it is today is all thanks to you.”

"You are the true pillar of our Great Ming Empire!"

just.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying replied with a mischievous grin, "No, no, no, it's not just my achievement. If you hadn't recognized me, there would never be the Ming Dynasty we have today."

"So, it's all thanks to you recognizing me!"

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a warmth in his heart. Then, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiong Ying, what you said makes sense."

"If we hadn't recognized each other back then, our Ming Dynasty would definitely be this powerful."

But after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Ying explained, "Old man, you misunderstood me."

"What I mean is, if we hadn't recognized each other back then, I would have rebelled and destroyed the Ming Dynasty..."

"You little rascal!" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying both laughed after saying that.

Zhu Biao, standing to the side, said helplessly, "You two just love to joke around!"

At this time.

The Quetzalcoatlus had already arrived at this [Spiritual Land of Beiping]. Immediately, the Quetzalcoatlus swooped down and landed swiftly.

It must be said that this "spiritual land of Beiping" is quite large.

Looking around, this "Spiritual Land of Beiping" is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and has only one entrance.

At this entrance, a squad of imperial guards stands watch.

Prevent others from entering.

When Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying arrived at the entrance, the hundreds of imperial guards immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

after that.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying then officially entered this [Spiritual Land of Beiping].

Although this "Spiritual Land of Beiping" was built by Zhu Ying's men, Zhu Ying only gave them a general direction.

Therefore, when Zhu Ying arrived at this "spiritual land of Beiping", he was quite curious about it.

He kept looking around.

After entering this area of ​​the [Beiping Spiritual Land], there is an open space of about fifty miles.

It is quite spacious.

This area has been completely excavated, and even a large number of palaces have been built on this open space.

Each palace was also guarded by royal guards.

This shows that the "Spiritual Land of Beiping" was heavily guarded from the inside out.

It's simply impossible for ordinary people to come to the inner area of ​​this "Spiritual Land of Beiping".

"Liu Lei, Guo Zhen, you two have done a good job. The construction of this [Beiping Spiritual Land] is basically in line with my expectations."

After taking a look at the construction and layout of the entire [Beiping Spiritual Land], Zhu Ying found that it was basically as he had imagined.

At this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang then pressed on, asking, "Xiongying, how should one cultivate in this spiritual land of Beiping?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation had already reached the Grandmaster realm, he clearly still hoped to continue improving, and he was now eager to cultivate in the [Beiping Spiritual Land].

Seeing this, Zhu Ying patiently explained, "Don't worry, old man, I haven't deployed this spiritual vein here yet."

"Once the plan is in place, you'll know how to cultivate."
