My Daming New Empire

So, while the bank and the internal supervisor were handing over the gold and silver, he proposed to Zhu Zhanji that his eldest granddaughter would be engaged to Huang Bai, the son of Marquis Fu'an.

Zhu Zhanji understood Chen Xuan's concerns when he heard that Chen Xuan brought it up. He just pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see."

Zhu Zhanji did not object, which means he agreed.Chen Xuan cupped his fists and bowed his head and said: "Your Highness forgive me, the veteran has no worries, and will definitely guard the bank for His Highness."

Marquis of Fu'an was the original Fu'an's son Huang Yuan. Although he, as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, did not kill the enemy and make any meritorious service on the battlefield, his credit cannot be erased.

Even Zhu Di praised his ability to dispatch more than 20 people's logistics supplies for thousands of miles of expedition by himself.

After the victory, he and several marquises were listed as the top performers, and he was promoted from viscount to marquis by two consecutive ranks.

In addition, Zhu Di still felt that it was not enough, so he not only rewarded according to the marquis, but also rewarded Huang Yuan with a five-entry mansion in the capital and two Persian beauties who were paid tribute by his subordinates.

Now the Huang family's father is the Minister of War, and the son is the Marquis of Chaopin, who has truly become the upstart of Ming Dynasty.

Huang Yuan is only 33 years old this year, and has a calm personality and outstanding talent. Now he is highly valued by Zhu Zhanji, and he will be a pillar of the court in the future.

This marriage was proposed by Chen Xuan on his own initiative. Although he is now above all officials, he is already 56 years old this year, so he should think more about it for future generations.

Huang Yuan was no stranger to Chen Xuan, and admired Chen Xuan's talent.More importantly, he and Chen Zuo, Chen Xuan's direct son, had a deep friendship when they were young.

At that time, Chen Zuo was the son of the governor and commanded the first army.Although Huang Fu is nominally the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi, he belongs to the meaning of derogation. Huang Yuan voted for the army and can only be a general.

But at that time, Chen Zuo didn't look down on Huang Yuan, and taught him a lot of knowledge about naval marching and combat, which couldn't be learned in books.

Because of this relationship, Chen Xuan was able to disregard face, let his son come forward, take the initiative to cling to the Huang family, seek a good marriage for his granddaughter, and seek a good backer for the weak Chen family.

Huang Yuan had a very good impression of Chen Zuo. He had met Chen Zuo's daughter a few times when she was young, and knew that she was a smart and lovely child, who would not disgrace his own Baoya.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, he agreed to the marriage.

However, his eldest son, Huang Bai, is only 13 years old, and Chen's parents and daughters are only 11 years old. The two children are just exchanging notes and getting married, and it will take a few years before they get married.

Chen Xuan let go of this concern and sighed endlessly.His eldest son is solid and stable, but his talents are average, and he will be a commanding officer in this life.

If he went by himself, even if he successfully accepted the title of Uncle Pingjiang, without assistance, he would inevitably be squeezed out and suppressed in the future.

After decades of being excluded, he managed to gain momentum, but because he was in charge of the money, he had to be a lonely minister.He has also offended many people in these years, and I am afraid that all these blames will be settled on his son in the future.

Now that Huang Yuan, the future powerful minister, is his in-laws, he can feel relieved.

Huang Yuan returned from the Western Expedition and is still recuperating at home, but it has been reported that he will be promoted to Vice Governor of the Navy this time.

Zheng He, the governor of the navy, is already 50 years old this year, how many years can he still do?In the future, the position of Governor of the Navy, other than Huang Yuan, will not be his choice.

Chen Xuan has long seen that Ming will have no strong enemies in the future, and the navy will probably be more important than the army in the future.

Coming out of the mint of the inner prison, Zhu Zhanji got into the carriage and said to Liu Wan: "I won't go back to the palace for now, just tell Habayashi Wei and go to Huang Shangshu's house in Taipingfang."

Zhu Zhanji regards Huang Fu, Huang Yuan, father and son very highly, and Chen Xuan equally. These three are truly capable people.

Fortunately for the Chen family, because they had no influence in Beijing before, they were often excluded, and their children usually joined the army and kept a low profile.

But Huang Yuan was a minister in his early years, he had one wife and two concubines, he had three legitimate sons and three concubine sons.

They were honest in the early years, but since Huang Fu came back two years ago and became the palm seal secretary of the Ministry of War, he has two concubine sons and he has not been very honest.

"Your Highness, today is the sixteenth prince's birthday..."

"Never mind, I'm going to celebrate my birthday almost every day."

Zhu Zhanji now understands why the ancient emperor and his son haven't gotten close to the servants.

Every son, since birth, has already shouldered his own responsibilities.Their words, deeds, and actions cannot exceed the limits of their status.

Then, if you want to meet him, you have to go through multiple procedures, first apply to yourself, and see if you have time to see him.

For example, when I was a child, I was free to go in and out of the court. It was because Zhu Di, the emperor, got the throne in rebellion.

All is well now, these children of his, even though he has indulged them a lot.But each of them is accompanied by eunuchs, maids, and guards, who will dissuade them from disturbing themselves. The main task is to complete their studies.

And in his harem, there are many more children than the average emperor, and now there are more than 100 in total. If he celebrates his birthday every day, he will have entertainment almost every day.

Naturally, his relationship with the children is now much more distant.

When the car arrived at Taipingfang, Huang Yuan who received the news had already waited at the gate with his whole family.

This house was rewarded to them by Zhu Digang. It originally belonged to King Jingjiang. Since Zhu Di now restricts the vassal kings from leaving the fief for no reason, many palaces in the capital are taken back by the clan mansions.

This also means that those princes are not welcome to return to Beijing.

In the past three years, Huang Yuan has lost some weight compared to three years ago, his face has more wrinkles, and his beard has grown a lot.The original little boy has now turned into a handsome uncle.

He was awarded the title of Marquis, and his mother, Mrs. Han, also became Mrs. Chaopin. After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Zhanji helped the old lady up with his own hands, and walked into the middle door together with her arms.

This woman is fair and treats concubines and concubines equally.Tenacity, leading a family of dozens of people, traveling thousands of miles, following in the footsteps of her husband's exile, has long been spread throughout Daming.

She was well-known in Daming, and Zhu Zhanji also admired such a woman, and helped her to the gate of the main courtyard with his own hands, asked her to salute, and brought her family into the backyard.

Huang Yuan has three children. The eldest son was approved by Zhu Zhanji to study at the Habayashi School at the age of 12. The second daughter is ten years old this year and has also become a little lady.The youngest son was only conceived when he left home, and he is only three years old this year.

The weather was hot, and Zhu Zhanji didn't want to enter the house, so he asked someone to set up a few chairs under the tree in the front yard, and sat down.

"In 18, you went to war. In 19, Gu took care of the dandies in Beijing and tied them all into the barracks. At the beginning, your third brother Huang Bo and fifth brother Huang Xi were famous scholars and escaped. In the past two years, your father has devoted himself to major affairs in the military. They lacked discipline and caused a lot of trouble. For your father's sake, I didn't deal with them. But now that you are back, I will leave this matter to you Let's do it. Everything is based on not letting the boss feel sad..."

Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know that the two younger brothers lacked discipline, and the incident had already come before the grandson.

He is a very smart person, and he knows that Zhu Zhanji's special visit today is not just for his two prodigal brothers.

"Yuan will discuss with his father tonight and give His Highness a satisfactory result."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "You have been with me since 14 years. In the past six years, from the envoy to Jiaozhi, to Europa, and to the west to conquer the Timur country, you have never had a peaceful life. You stay at home It's good to rest for two months, and in September, you will be busy again."

Huang Yuan nodded and said: "When Yuan returned from the expedition, he had rested for half a year. If His Highness is useful, Yuan will report back to the navy tomorrow."

"It's not so urgent. Nanzhou immigration will not be as urgent as it was during the war."

After hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Huang Yuan waved to his entourage, his cousin Huang Qing. Huang Qing came to them with small steps, and Huang Yuan confessed: "Take the yellow paper in the second drawer of my study. Bring the wooden box."

After Huang Qing left, Huang Yuancai said: "My minister Xiyang has already been planning immigration matters when he came back, and he has also written a plan. Although it may not be all in line with what His Highness wants, it can also inspire His Highness."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and asked, "What do you think is the most important thing about immigration?"

"Institution!" Huang Yuan said affirmatively, "Nanzhou ministers have also been there. It is far away from the Ming Dynasty. How to let the clan, nobles, and officers and soldiers strictly follow the court's orders after passing is the most important thing. Stay away from Daming, and don't spend a huge amount of money on the court, but still attract complaints. More importantly, you must not let people have the opportunity to support themselves."

Zhu Zhanji's heart moved, and he asked again: "Then what do you think of Dongzhou? How do you think everyone's desire to immigrate to Dongzhou can be resolved?"

Huang Yuan obviously didn't think about this question, he pondered for a while and said: "I don't know much about Dongzhou, so I dare not judge myself."
