My Daming New Empire

Only then did Mrs. Zhang let him go, and said: "With these days, you can give me a few more grandchildren, that is the greatest filial piety."

Zhu Zhanji said with a hippie smile: "My child obeys the order..."

Thank you for seeing people with lights, Zhang Degong of the Great Sui Dynasty, for rewarding a different enjoyment, the first update today

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

When I left the capital, the capital was still covered with snow and the wind was biting.

But since passing through Fujian, the temperature has been getting higher and higher day by day. Today's sailors have already taken off their complicated overalls, and each of them only wears calf shorts, climbing up and down.

Although Huang Yuan was wearing a defensive uniform, no one on board dared to underestimate him.As Taisun's special envoy and naval commander's special envoy, even Liao Zheng, the commander of the Xinjiangkou Navy, treated him with courtesy.

And Huang Yuan also had a kind of pride in returning to his hometown. In just one year, he was not only promoted two ranks, but also won a title.What's more, because I was already a grandson, my father was also assigned to the grandson's camp. This time, when I returned to the capital, I couldn't escape the position of a minister.

How could Huang Yuan not be proud of being able to achieve such a result in just one year?

I just don’t know how my father received his letter and how the food preparations are going. The plague last winter killed at least one-third of Cochin’s people, and many of them were wiped out by the Ming army, sending a large number of people to the desert. North, if the harvest of the farmland is delayed, it will be difficult to raise nearly 100 million shi of grain this time.

Although Champa and Siam in the south are major grain-producing provinces, it is not difficult to find where to buy grain. The hard part is how to ship the grain. If you relax a bit, you may not be able to complete this task within two months.

The sound of footsteps came, and a slightly shrill voice said: "Huang Shoubei is returning home this time, the boss must be overjoyed."

Huang Yuan turned his head and nodded lightly before saying: "It's true to return home after being clothed in rich clothes, and it's also true to feel timid when you're close to your hometown. When my child left, he just called him Daddy, but I don't know if he still remembers me now."

When the eunuch mentions the offspring, isn't it pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?Chen Xuan's face turned a little embarrassed, but Huang Yuan is now in great power, he still boasted: "Huang Shangshu is well-educated and has outstanding abilities. Huang Shoubei doesn't need to worry too much."

Huang Yuan saw that his expression was a little unnatural, only to realize that he had said something wrong, and quickly cupped his fists to apologize.

The gloom on Chen Xuan's face completely dissipated, and he said with a smile: "I don't mind, I don't mind. Huang Shoubei has been away from home for a year, and now he can see the land of Jiaozhi. Naturally, his heart is surging and he can't restrain himself."

Huang Yuan changed the subject and said, "Although Jiaozhi is remote, the scenery in Halong Bay is beautiful and worth visiting."

Chen Xuan said with a smile: "I have heard it for a long time. The former purchasing eunuch Ma Qi often praised the unparalleled scenery of Xialong Bay, especially the discovery of a coal mine stretching for hundreds of miles here, which also turned this place into a treasure."

Seeing Chen Xuan mentioning Ma Qi, Huang Yuan asked unnaturally, "Chen Shaojian met Ma Caimai?"

Chen Xuan laughed and said: "He is a member of the Supervisor of Rites, and our family is from the Yinshou Supervisor, but we are not from the same way."

He was flattering himself by saying this, Ma Qi was an old man who served in the palace during the Hongwu period, so she was able to serve as a fat job in the local procurement many times.

And he is just a middle-class newcomer who has just stepped into the inner prison.Even his boss, Li Liang, is not good enough in front of Ma Qi, let alone him.

But when he said that he had nothing to do with Ma Qi, Huang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ma Cai has the ability to buy, but he is too mean. Although the Jiaozhi people are not my Ming people, they can't be forced The people are struggling to survive, and last year Chen Ji expanded his army to rebel again, it is not without his credit."

Chen Xuan said calmly: "That's right, that's right. His Royal Highness has always taught us not to force the good into prostitution because of corruption, and the government to force the people to rebel. It is not advisable to be vicious in any dynasty."

"Although Jiaozhi's food is cooked three times a year, the price of food is low. The people have no shortage of food, but they have no money. He is a timber buyer, but every household has to send wood money. This is for the already unstable Jiaozhi. Add fuel to the fire!"

Huang Yuan complained, then turned around and said: "Although there is not enough money for Jiaozhi, the tortoise shell and agarwood here are very good. Chen Shaojian came to Jiaozhi, so naturally he should bring some back as a gift."

Hearing that there was a gift received, Chen Xuan laughed happily.Coupled with Huang Yuan's mouthful of one young prisoner, his dissatisfaction at the beginning disappeared in smoke.

"Our family is only entrusted to the imperial court. This is the position of the young prisoner. Please don't call it that in front of Huang Shoubei, lest the villain say that our family is arrogant."

The boat entered the wharf of the Hongji Coal Mine and could already see that the surface of the forest here was peeled off, and the bottom was full of black and shiny coal.

Before I saw this coal mine, I didn't have a concept, but now I can feel the shock when I witness it with my own eyes.

When Chen Xuan saw this huge mine, he was surprised and said: "Such a large mine is full of coal, isn't it inexhaustible for future generations to use?"

Huang Yuan said with a smile: "Jiaozhi has many trees, and the amount of charcoal used is not large. Most of these coals are still transported to Qiongzhou to make iron."

"The iron ore there has been dug out?"

"It was found in the middle of last year. It is said that although the iron mine is not very big, it is of high quality and can produce good steel. It's just that the road is still being built, and the furnace will not be opened until this year."

Chen Xuan couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness is really a god, otherwise, why would he know that there is an iron mine in Qiongzhou here when he is far away in Yingtian Mansion!"

Huang Yuan didn't think so, he only felt that Taisun's subordinates had a team of spies that he didn't know about, helping him to find out everything about this Ming Dynasty.

Before the ship landed, you could see the military flag waving at the pier, and the gongs and drums were shaking the sky. This was the representative sent by Jiaozhicheng to welcome them.

What Huang Yuan didn't expect was that as soon as he got off the boat, he saw his gray-haired father Huang Fu coming here to greet him in person.

At this time, he didn't care about himself as the grandson's special envoy, and he also forgot the majesty of the court on his body.Without waiting for Huang Fu to salute, and regardless of his winking, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times respectfully, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm not filial to Ziyuan, I have seen my lord father."

Huang Fu still wanted to blame a few words, but seeing his son's true feelings, he couldn't bear to blame him anymore, he just sighed a long time, put his hands on his arms, and helped him up. "You are fine, I am very pleased to be a father. Get up quickly, you represent your grandson now, etiquette should not be abolished because of my father and son."

At this time, Chen Xuan said with a smile: "Don't worry about Huang Shangshu. Commander Liao led a large fleet to follow. We are the only ones arriving at this time, and we don't care about the formalities. His Royal Highness told us when we came. The purchase of grain is a private matter and a state matter, so there is no need to be formal. As long as Huang Shangshu can complete the task of purchasing grain, it will be a great achievement. His Highness also confessed that Mr. Shang Shu was framed by villains, so he stayed away from the center for ten years. , Your Highness is waiting for the Minister in the capital."

Although Huang Fu was demoted, he has not been removed from the position of Shangshu. It is not wrong to call him Shangshu directly.

Huang Fu bowed three times facing the north, and then said: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. Fu has never complained because of relegation, but he needs more His Royal Highness to promote children. A few days ago, I received a letter from the special envoy. So I sent people to check the remaining grain of Jiaozhi, and raised 30 shi of rice, which can be shipped on the same day."

Huang Fu was initially framed by Chen Ying and imprisoned. After he was released from prison, he was in charge of transporting the logistics of the Kochi army.

During his tenure as the chief envoy of Jiaozhi, he encountered collective resistance from the internal supervision group because he reported the purchase of the eunuch Ma Qi, so when he met Chen Xuan this time, he had to be impeccable first.

On the way here, Chen Xuan already knew that it was difficult to raise such a large amount of rice in Jiaozhi, and he was already satisfied with 30 shi.

Chen Xuan said with a smile: "Shang Shu doesn't need to be polite with the lower officials. This time the special envoy is your son. It's good for you father and son to discuss and resolve it together. I just follow behind and eat for nothing."

Seeing Huang Yuan nodded slightly, Huang Fu let go of his vigilance, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will arrange a few local tour guides for Fengyu, let Fengyu see the beautiful scenery of the southern country, and return to the capital, it is also a item for discussion."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when Commander Liao Zheng's boat arrived, it was another welcoming ceremony.Liao Zheng was even more straightforward, directly saying that everything was done by Huang Yuan, and he was only responsible for food escort, which made Huang Fu truly feel that his son was not a puppet.

After arranging a group of chief officials, Huang Fu and Huang Yuan, the father and son, had time to sit down and chat in the quiet room of the pier.

There are countless questions in Huang Fu's mind. He doesn't understand what is the difference between the navy and the navy?He also didn't know why his son was able to act as a special envoy with the post of defense, and he didn't know why Jiaozhi would become the Zhang family's world.

But when he saw the dusty son, he didn't want to ask a word, but just held a cup of hot tea and drank it comfortably.

If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for!

Still, Huang Yuan couldn't hold back his anger, and he deliberately showed himself in front of his father, telling him everything that happened in the year from leaving home to returning home.

Only then did Huang Fu ask in a low voice: "According to what you say, His Royal Highness has now completely controlled the navy?"

"The navy was restructured into a navy. Except for local affairs, all the command power was transferred to the headquarters. His Royal Highness Taisun is a majestic man. After experiencing the battles of Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, he has indeed won the hearts of most soldiers."

"Could it be that the emperor intends to imitate the great ancestor and pass on the throne directly to the great grandson? It shouldn't be..."

"According to my son's observation, His Royal Highness Taisun has no intention of fighting for power at this time, but intends to conquer the world. From Taisun's place, my son also saw a complete map of the world. The land occupied by my Ming Dynasty is only a small part of the world. There are countless regions waiting for us to occupy."

Huang Fu pondered for a while and said: "Could it be because of this reason that the emperor wanted to give Cochin to the Duke of England?"

Huang Yuan looked around and said in a low voice: "Not to mention that the navy is already in the hands of the grandson, even Duke Zhang Fu of England, Duke Mu Sheng of Qian State, Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, and Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu The others seem to have taken refuge in His Highness the Grandson. Although the sons of civil servants have not noticed anyone who is closer to the Grandson, but with these forces alone, it is only a matter of time before the Grandson takes charge of the Great Treasure."
