My Daming New Empire

In later generations, there are many sayings about the value of life.Zhu Zhanji agrees with the five stages of survival, sense of security, being recognized, loving and being loved, and ideals.

He is the great-grandson of the Ming Emperor, directly crossing the stage of survival.

As for the sense of security, his operation over the years, from exercising his body, to winning over generals, controlling the economy, and researching technology, has reached perfection at this stage.

As for loving and being loved, after experiencing three lives and three lives, he has become extremely selfish, and he doesn't have much demand in this regard.

Therefore, only the sense of being recognized and the ideal are left.

This kind of recognition, in addition to the recognition of people who care about, such as Zhu Di, such as Zhang, is also a sense of social recognition.

He rebuilt Yingtian Mansion, also seeking a sense of social identity.

Regarding ideals, his ideals can be said to be very simple, but also very difficult.

That is to let the Chinese nation stand on top of the world. For this ideal, he can give everything except his life.

And since the crossing, he has not hesitated at all, and has been walking forward unswervingly.

Even his current father, Zhu Gaochi, known as the "virtuous lord" of a generation, was moved aside by him because of obstacles in front of him.

Time has entered August, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. During this period of time, the people of Yingtian Mansion finally changed the topic from new-style houses to scientific research.

No matter how beautifully the house is built, if you don’t work in the factory of the internal supervisor or the Ministry of Industry, you won’t be assigned.

Moreover, this is not without cost. If you want to live in such a house, you must exchange the house in the inner city with the imperial court.

Therefore, people who do not have such conditions can only hope that when the inner city is slightly less populated and the old city is renovated, it will be possible to live in a new house that even has a hut inside the house.

The transformation of old cities and urban construction can drive the development of countless industries.

For example, the brick and tile industry, such as the coal industry, because people need to cook at home, of course wood stoves can no longer be used, and coal stoves must be used instead.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the current environment of Daming.

In the later generations, the whole of China will be bare everywhere, except for the two sides of the road, the forests can only be found in remote areas.

But now, there are forests that have not been cut down everywhere, and the developed land is much less than that of later generations.

Nowadays, there is no environmental protection, and all the people use firewood stoves, and there is not enough wheat straw and rice straw, which leads to a large number of trees being cut down.

Especially in autumn and winter, many unproductive trees are cut down, placed there to dry in the shade, and then become burned materials in winter.

But Zhu Zhanji has nothing to do about it, because it is impossible for him to prevent the common people from chopping firewood for the sake of environmental protection. No matter when, people's right to survival is the most important thing.

So now he can only vigorously promote the application of coal. Shiploads of coal were transported back from the Hongji Coal Mine by the internal supervisor's coal carrier, and Huaibei, which is also one of the largest coal mines in Daming.

Coal stoves and briquettes were built, and now many vendors in Daming, including restaurants, have begun to use coal stoves for cooking.

However, in rural areas, most people are still used to go to the woods to pick dead branches and cook at home when they are free.That's free, but no matter how cheap coal is, it still costs money!

Will there be major changes in urban construction in a while, not to mention that it is still the busy farming season, and the big construction will not start until after autumn and winter, when the people's farm work is finished and they need to do hard labor.

The Ministry of Industry is already actively preparing various building materials, and is waiting for the big construction after the busy farming season.

And Zhu Zhanji also issued an order to the Ministry of Industry and the internal supervisor. Although in the past, the common people had to bring their own food for labor, but starting this year, the court will provide food for labor.

Each person is given out sixty catties of rice, one catty of salt, one catty of sugar, and ten catties of flour per month.

Daming is not short of food at all now. Luzon alone has an annual output of 2000 million shi, and they can't even eat half of it.

The rest of the food, because it is difficult to transport all the wine back, now the wine merchants in Daming go directly to Nanyang to make wine, and then directly transport the wine back.

Of course, these are just the wines that ordinary people drink. The real good wine is best made from whole grains.

Zhu Zhanji also strongly supported this move, and asked the internal supervisor to provide convenience and services for these wine merchants.

At the end of June, Zhu Zhanji finally confirmed the new candidate for the admiral of the young army. As soon as the news came out, countless nobles in the capital were disappointed.

Because he was not the new admiral selected from the nobles in the capital, but Chen Mao, whom he had long favored.

Chen Mao was one of the few military generals in the Ming Dynasty who abandoned literature and turned to martial arts, and his achievements were outstanding.

At the time of Jingnan, Chen Mao had already become a member of Zhongshushe. Later, his father Chen Heng decided to follow Zhu Di, and he followed his father to Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan at that time.

Chen Heng died of injuries. Chen Mao led his father's old troops to defend against the enemy alone in Shanqiao (now Shanqiao Village, Cangzhou, Hebei), Gaocheng, Xishuizhai (now Baoding, Hebei), Dongping (now Tai'an, Shandong), Guzhen, Xiaohe (now Suihe in Anhui), has repeatedly made military exploits, and was promoted to the right commander of the right army and uncle Ningyang.

At that time, he was only 21 years old, and he was the youngest general who was awarded the title of Ming non-inheriting Lord.

In the sixth year of Yongle, Chen Maopei conquered the general seal of the west and guarded Ningxia with the post of general soldier.After Chen Mao arrived in Ningxia, he changed the local order. He was good at comforting and surrendering soldiers.

And although he was young, he acted fairly, and those Mongolian and Yuan nobles trusted him very much.

During his guarding of Ningxia, there were countless generals of Meng Yuan who were recruited by him.

The more famous ones are Atan Buhua, the Duke of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zanbu the Prime Minister, Tuchi Zhiyuan and his younger brother Situ, Boyan Buhua Wang Yierhutu, Brother Dianzhu, Dulian Pingzhang, Tuerchi, Situ Tulu's pagoda is lost, the Duke of the state Bu Da is lost, Tongzhi Duo'er can only speed up, Tongqin Ashu and other commanders, [-] troops, more than [-] cattle, sheep, camels and horses.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Meng Yuan's surrendered general Dulian and others defected. Chen Mao led his troops to pursue Dulian in Montenegro, and collected all the population and livestock under his command.

In December of the same year, Zhu Di added the titles of Chen Mao to Fengtian Jingnan Tuicheng Xuanli Wuchen, Ronglu Doctor, Zhuguo, and Ningyanghou, with an accumulated salary of three thousand shi.

Zhu Zhanji had met this young Ningyanghou during the Northern Expedition, and had a good impression of him.

But the situation in Ningxia at that time was still very complicated, and he has been guarding Ningxia.Zhu Zhanji is not unavailable, so I just keep him in my heart.

Now that the northern border is ready for battle, Chen Mao went to Beijing in June. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to escort a batch of new guns to the capital to meet Zhu Zhanji.

But Zhu Zhanji kept him and let him take up the position that countless people envy.

A general guarding Ningxia and an admiral of the emperor's army are of the same rank, but the importance of their position is very different.

Under Zhu Zhanji's instruction, while actively understanding the situation in the capital, he familiarized himself with the generals and arranged camps for the new young army that was about to return.

The original young army had only 1 people, and they were stationed in the eastern part of Xiamaqiao Farm and the Jiajiang Industrial Zone.

But now there are twice as many people, and the camp alone needs to increase by four.

When Xue Lu was there, he had already selected Mufu Mountain, Xuanwu Lake, Qixia Mountain, and Fangshan to build new camps, and the six camps just surrounded Yingtian Mansion.

However, it was not until July that all these camps were completed.

On the sixth day of August, Zhu Zhanji went to the foot of Niu Shou Mountain in the south of Yingtianfu to inspect the training of the young army, and saw with his own eyes that there were many more students in Yingtianfu.

Today's common people have also focused their attention on Qiuwei, a grand event in which ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty carp jumped over the dragon's gate.

There are many more students in the city, which is expected by Zhu Zhanji.This is still Qiuwei's examination, only students from Yingtianfu.

If all the Juren from Ming Dynasty come to Yingtian Mansion in the spring of next year, the number of students will be even more astonishing.
