Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 335

The entire northwest became a mess.

This is the feeling of the gentry in the Northwest. In Guyuan City alone, three families were arrested. In addition, dozens of families in the entire Northwest were ransacked, and a huge population was suppressed to Guyuan City. The Black Dragon Guards attacked everywhere. Everywhere there was turmoil, and people would hide away when they saw it. When the Black Dragon Guard entered the city, the sound of horseshoes seemed to hit the hearts of the gentry.

Numerous memorials flew to the capital, but Zhu Houzhao turned a blind eye to them, sat firmly in Guyuan City, glanced at Zhang Yun, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid?"

The crown prince is right, if he does not do this, Zhang Xi will be pushed out, that's why Zhu Houzhao asked this question.

Zhang He bowed and said, "For Your Highness, the only thing left is death."

Hearing Zhang Yun's words, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately, stood up and walked to Zhang Yun's side, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Yun's shoulder: "Don't worry, I don't need you to carry it for me." Zhu Houzhao walked outside out.

Walking out of the door, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qian He who was standing beside him: "Is everyone here?"

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Qian He quickly bowed and said, "Go back to Your Highness, everyone is here."

Qian He was terrified. This time, among the partners of Qiyizhai, seven of them were investigated and ransacked directly.Originally, Qian He thought that he would be involved in this incident, but no, even so, Qian He was full of fear for the Crown Prince in front of him, it was too scary, and the Crown Prince was really ruthless !
"Then go see them." Zhu Houzhao said as he walked forward first, with a smile on his face and firm eyes.

The people Zhu Houzhao wanted to meet were businessmen from the Northwest, mainly those who cooperated with Qiyizhai. Of course, there were also other people, such as the subordinates of nobles and relatives, such as big businessmen from other places.

Unlike the businessmen in the Northwest, the subordinates of Xungui and Xunqi were more excited. His Royal Highness arrested people but not them, they just watched the fun.Of course, not only watching, but also releasing some remarks to attack opponents. Anyway, the more they are caught, the less pressure they will have to compete. They are very good at this.

The room Zhu Houzhao was going to was specially prepared, it was not big, and could only accommodate dozens of people, even so, it was not full.

Because there are not many people who are qualified to sit here, small businessmen, those who do not have strong capital, are not qualified, so the prince's invitation is so easy to receive?
The first to walk in was a group of Black Dragon Guards, led by Zhang He, holding his saber, and his eyes swept over everyone present, sharp and gloomy.

Seeing Zhang Yun like this, everyone was silent. Everyone is familiar with the commander of the Black Dragon Guard these days.This is the number one eagle dog of His Highness the Crown Prince. It is rumored that he kills without batting an eyelid, but His Highness the Crown Prince obeys. Basically, no one dares to look at him.

"The prince is here."

Followed by Liu Jin, after standing still, he shook the whisk in his hand and shouted loudly.

Following Liu Jin's shout, Zhu Houzhao stepped in. Unlike usual, Zhu Houzhao was wearing armor specially made for him, with a sword on his waist, and he didn't leave the hilt.

"See His Royal Highness."

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, for fear that they might not shout loudly enough and their attitude was not sincere enough.

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, just looked at the crowd, no one dared to move, even panting very slightly.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao said, "Excuse me!"

After everyone stood up, Zhu Houzhao said: "I have just arrived in the northwest, and the situation that I didn't go to the northwest is already shocking. I even feel in a daze. Could it be that the northwest is not the world of Ming Dynasty anymore? Are the gentry and merchants in the northwest no longer the people of my Zhu family?"

This remark made people jump, and no one dared to speak anymore, the expression on their faces collapsed tightly. If this hat was put on, it would be possible to ransack the family and exterminate the family.

"I know that you are quite uneasy these days. The reason is that the Black Dragon Guards are raiding your home and arresting people." Zhu Houzhao continued: "I am not an unreasonable person. Naturally, there are reasons for raiding your home and arresting people. These people bully Good people, rampant lawlessness, killing and killing, they do all kinds of evil, this palace just wants to tell the people in the northwest, these people are accepted by the palace."

"The northwest is still my Ming territory, and you are still my subjects. If anyone doesn't want to be a subject of my Zhu family, stand up."

As soon as these words came out, there was no more sound.

Of course, not everyone is a fool. A man in his 40s stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to be a subject of the Ming Dynasty forever, and the Ming Dynasty will live forever, and the country will live forever."

The others must have heard this, and quickly fell to their knees on the ground, and said loudly: "The great Ming Dynasty will last forever, and the country will last for ten thousand years."

"Get up!" Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction, and his tone softened: "I know your intentions, and those lawbreakers have been arrested. Since you can come here, it proves that you are neighbors on weekdays." Shan, taking care of your hometown, I like you. This palace has clear rewards and punishments, since you have done a good job, you should be rewarded."

Everyone felt a little dazed when they heard it. Is there a reward?
"Come here, bring me the picture of the palace." Zhu Houzhao said, beckoning to the back, then turned and stood to the side.

The person who had prepared a long time ago directly hung up a big picture and handed a wooden stick to Zhu Houzhao at the same time.

Although there has never been a PPT conference in later generations, I have seen it myself. Zhu Houzhao is going to draw a big cake for these people.

"Regarding the matter in the northwest, I have made a big plan. Since you are qualified to come here, you are naturally eligible to participate." Zhu Houzhao said directly: "In three years, I plan to spend 5000 million taels of silver in the Northwest to transform the Northwest Build it into an important town of Ming Dynasty, come here, you will make money."

"The first phase of the palace will invest 500 million yuan. It is initially planned to build three cities, namely Yinchuan located here, Baotou located here, and Fengzhou located here." Zhu Houzhao used wooden sticks in three locations After making gestures, he continued: "After the three cities are built, the entire pasture will belong to Daming."

"A large area of ​​grassland can be used for grazing, and matching wool textile and canning factories will also be put into operation. In addition, the palace will build a new steel factory in the northwest."

"At the same time, send a large army to the west to open up trade routes and restore the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I won't say much about what the Silk Road means."

The people present were basically wealthy households, and they naturally knew what the Silk Road meant. Not to mention the Silk Road, just the woolen mills would be huge profits!
