My Daming New Empire

This is the imperial palace, full of eunuchs and court ladies, how could a living person slip away quietly.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's message, she wouldn't even be able to get out of the gate of Wenhua Palace.

Just when she was a little distracted, a voice suddenly came. "You want to see Gu, why?"

Lan Yan was so startled that she almost yelled, and jumped behind the railing like a frightened kitten. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Zhu Zhanji. "Why did you come out from behind?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at her stern look rather funny, and asked, "Why do you want to see Gu?"

Looking at his smiling face, Lan Yan felt a little flustered. Seeing that the servants were standing around far away, she said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, can you not marry me?"

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, and asked with a straight face, "Do you have a sweetheart?"

As soon as Lan Yan heard it, she immediately poohed. "My girl is only 16 years old! How could she have a sweetheart?"

When he heard that it wasn't for this reason, Zhu Zhanji's face turned pale, and he asked, "Since you don't have a sweetheart, why don't you want to marry me?"

"It's not that I don't want to marry you, I don't want to marry anyone. My mother died early, and my father also passed away last year. Now there are only me and my two younger brothers left in my family. If I marry, they will have no one to take care of them."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Is your aunt not taking good care of you?"

"Of course not, but she is busy with mundane affairs... No matter how much she takes care of her, she can't compare to me."

Zhu Zhanji only felt amused looking at the little girl in front of him who was like a silly big sister who was a little ignorant. "Then how can you take care of your two younger brothers?"

"I know how to raise silkworms and Shu brocade. When my father was alive, he also had a property. I will definitely be able to bring our weaving business to the capital."

"It turned out to be a female Tao Zhu, disrespect and disrespect."

But Lan Yan didn't hear Zhu Zhanji's irony, and she showed her two small tiger teeth quite complacently and said, "Don't dare, dare not, it's just life forced me to make a living, so I can't be called Tao Zhu."

Zhu Zhanji almost couldn't hold back his laughter.This little girl may be too well protected by her family, and she is a little ignorant.I thought that I could take over the family business and take care of my family by relying on something I read in the book.

She used some words in the book to drop the book bag, just like a nerd, who can't use it flexibly at all.It's a bit funny to be serious, not knowing where your shortcomings are.

If she does business like her, she is afraid that she will be sold, and she will have to count the money for others.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Since I want to marry you, of course I will pay a large amount of dowry, so that your two younger brothers will not be left alone. As for making money, that is a man's business. You should not bother."

Lan Yan became a little anxious when she heard this, and said with her eyes wide open, "How can it be done? The weaving line is my father's lifelong painstaking effort, how can it be left in vain? What's more, you... you didn't just marry me... without me , you have other wives. I think Miss Sun is very good, your mother and concubine like her very much, even my aunt has been praising her."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "This is my business, so I won't bother you. You didn't think about it, your aunt wanted to let you into the palace, could it be that she hurt you? Follow me, your two No one dares to bully a younger brother, and no one dares to take over your family's weaving business, wouldn't it be a one-shot?"

Lan Yan was a little dumbfounded, as if she didn't know how to face this situation. "But I don't want to get married. If I get married, I won't be able to see my two younger brothers every day."

Zhu Zhanji said: "If you are worried about this, I can let your two younger brothers live in my farm, so that you can see them often."

"But...but..."

Zhu Zhanji approached her body and said: "There is nothing but... Today your aunt has obtained the emperor's consent, so you must marry into the palace, otherwise this is deceiving the emperor. Not only your two younger brothers will be punished." Punishment, your family's weaving business will be sealed up, and even your aunt will be implicated."

Zhu Zhanji's current height is already 1.8 meters five. In this era when men are generally less than 1.7 meters tall and women are less than 1.6 meters tall, such a height is very oppressive.

Lan Yan's height is considered tall among women, about 1.6 meters five, but in front of Zhu Zhanji, she still looks very weak.

Forced by Zhu Zhanji to lean against the guardrail, she tightened her body, smelling Zhu Zhanji's body, she was a little confused.

Without even thinking about it, she slapped him.

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and held her hand in his. "It's not a small courage, dare to talk to Gu about the conditions, and dare to do it."

The salesman was caught by Zhu Zhanji, her whole body was weak, and then she came to her senses, begging for mercy weakly: "Your Highness, calm down, the little girl is just in a hurry, not out of her original intention."

Zhu Zhanji held her little hand tightly, stroked it gently and said, "It's easy for me to spare you, just kiss me and I'll let you go!"

Lan Yan's complexion changed drastically, she hastily pulled out her hand, and tears welled up. "Your Highness, please respect yourself..."

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Look, what scares you is that you are already a lonely person anyway, so you won't be so impatient. You will be really interested when you get plump. Remember, eat more when you go back. , next time there is no ups and downs, and it still looks like a flat plate, don’t blame Gu for forcing you to eat papaya every day.”

After releasing the blue smoke, Zhu Zhanji walked back triumphantly.Such a little clever, a little confused, a little self-reliant, and weak little girl, it is also a pleasure to tease her when she is free.

But Lan Yan didn't understand Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanji's figure disappeared, and she was still talking to herself. "Be plumper, does your Highness think I'm too thin? But what is a tablet, and why do you want to eat papaya?"

Although she didn't want to understand these questions, her tears disappeared miraculously.Although the goal was not achieved this time, she didn't know why, and she didn't feel very disappointed.

"Hey, men are indeed sympathetic. As long as they pretend to be pitiful, they won't care too much about women. If he dares to be fierce to me again in the future, I will cry for him again."

If Zhu Zhanji knew what she was thinking, he might die laughing.This silly girl didn't know where she saw these operas with talented scholars and beautiful ladies, so she believed them to be true.

If she wasn't destined to belong to him, how could he feel sorry for her, and if he changed someone, he might become more wolfish.

But at this time, Zhu Zhanji returned to the front hall to entertain.Although he doesn't like this kind of entertainment, this kind of social interaction is something that his great-grandson must adapt to.

The most effective way to attract these honorable families is to marry and socialize. Only when they form a close interest group, will they never betray.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ever since he came to the capital, Liu Jiang didn't have a little time to appreciate the prosperity of the capital, so he devoted himself to the busy work.

The only time he could spare was after being interviewed by Zhu Di, he hurriedly picked a set of four-entry compound that Zhu Zhanji helped him notice in Taipingfang.

Although the size of this compound is not very large, it is located at the foot of Mount Jiuhua, adjacent to Fuchang Bofangkuan, the mansion of Qingyuan Hou Wangyou.

He only had one wife and two concubines, his eldest son Liu Tuan died early, and his second son Liu An was also serving in the army, so he did not return to the capital with him this time.There are also two concubine daughters, one concubine daughter can also marry, and only two concubine sons are still in front of them, so a set of four entering the compound is enough for households.

After confirming the mansion, he devoted himself to the negotiation with Zhu Zhanji.

What Zhu Zhanji knows is the advanced management system of later generations, but to apply this management plan to Daming 600 years ago, it needs to be adapted to the place.

For example, for a simple fleet organization, Zhu Zhanji simply knows the performance and names of various ships, and the specific functions and functions of various ships, but only a little understanding.

How to combine these warships with different performances into a combat-capable and reasonable fleet that can undertake different combat functions requires a veteran like Liu Jiang to determine.

This is still the simplest, other things such as different war training and combination of various ministries, coordinated operations between different guards, and the establishment of a unified command system are all inseparable from Liu Jiang, a veteran.

They had to come up with a more reasonable plan in order to get the support of the Ministry of War and Zhu Di.

And only with their approval can this set of plans be implemented in the army, and the set of plans will be conveyed and implemented through the naval generals who are now gathered in the capital.

The navy of a country goes as far north as Nuergandus, which is the northern part of Sakhalin Island.And the southernmost point is Jiaozhi, which is the Vietnam of later generations.Stretching tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of warships.

In the southernmost island of Sumatra, Liang Mingdao, the former king of the Three Buddha Qi region, cried out to join Daming, and he refused to leave after coming to Daming.

His deputy, Shi Jinqing, led the army and civilians to attach to Daming. In the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered Shi Jinqing to be the consolation envoy of the old port. So far, far away from the equator, there was still a piece of land belonging to Daming, and a navy was stationed there.

It is by no means an easy task to combine these armies into one management system and to make each department form combat effectiveness

All ministries and military guards do not want to weaken their current strength, but also want to strengthen their own strength.Therefore, how to coordinate the relationship between them will also test Liu Jiang's ability.
