My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji's words made him realize another huge source of income, that is slave trade.

In Xizhou, especially in the area north of the rainforest and south of the desert, there are a large number of Kunlun slaves living.

They have no weapons, only small tribes, and it is easy to capture them.

After they are castrated, whether they are transported back to Daming or sold to Nanzhou, they can be exchanged for a large amount of supplies.

He has heard that Nanzhou has a vast territory and a sparse population, and there are no people to farm or mine.

Originally, when he was planning to go to Xizhou, he would take more farmers there, but now, he felt that it was very necessary to bring a group of doctors who were proficient in castration.

Li Jinglong was very excited. It has been 20 years since Yongle, and he has been imprisoned in the mansion.

Now, the Li family finally has another chance to rise.

With the help provided by Yang Zhangde, they have been actively preparing for the past few years, and all their descendants practice martial arts and learn the art of war.

He also poured out his family property, set up guard camps, and recruited farmers.With some overt or covert help from Jin Yiwei, they have made the best preparations for immigrating to Xizhou.

In fact, Yang Zhangde wanted to go to Xizhou with Cao Guogong's mansion the most, but he just made a side note and was warned by Zhu Zhanji.

He didn't dare to mention it any more, so he decided to settle for the next best thing, and wanted to go to Dongzhou.

Zhu Zhen went to Dongzhou to take charge of military administration, Yang Rong went to Dongzhou to take charge of civil affairs, and the internal supervisor took charge of trade, forming a situation of separation of powers.

However, a large number of mine developments are involved in Dongzhou.From Mexico to Bolivia in later generations, there are more than half of the world's silver reserves and a quarter of the gold reserves.

Zhu Zhanji must firmly control the power of benefit distribution in his own hands.

Therefore, it is in the interests of the court that Yang Zhangde go to Dongzhou to take charge of coordination.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanji is also planning to restructure Jinyiwei. This royal family's eagle dog will also become an institution that monitors the world just like the imperial envoy.

Zhu Zhanji attaches the most importance to Dongzhou, and he plans to leave it to his descendants in the future. It is very necessary to establish two intelligence networks there first.

In recent years, Zhu Zhanji is not planning to go to war in the country, and focuses on recuperation and infrastructure construction.Let Yang Zhangde go to Dongzhou for some experience, and it will not be a waste of time.

The recent Yingtian Mansion has become extremely lively, and everyone is waiting for the ninth day of September to come.

Zhu Di personally participated in the Great Court Meeting on the first day of September, but he only presided over one thing, which was to restore the kingship to the King of Han.

Except for King Han, Zhu Zhanji's older brothers are all adults, and the sixth brother Zhu Zhanji is 16 years old.

At this court meeting, the five of them also received canonization.

Zhu Zhanyu was named King Zhengjing, Zhu Zhanyin was named King Qixian, and Zhu Zhanyu was named King Jingxian.

And Zhu Zhanji's two brothers from the same mother, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanqian, were named King Jing of Yue and King Xiangxian respectively.

However, these titles are only in honor, and their fiefs are not in Daming territory, but in Nanzhou.

Adding them together, there are seventeen other Prince's Mansions in Daming after the Jin and Han Mansions, otherwise, there are only fourteen in total.

One-third of the original 20 or so have been abandoned.

These abolished clans were also arranged into the enfeoffment of Nanzhou this time, but they only had the treatment of the Marquis Mansion.

This is mainly to increase the power of the clan, so as not to let them be emptied by the courtiers below in the future.

In addition to the means in this regard, all clans, noble families, and main branches must stay in the capital.

Going to Nanzhou, the branch of Xizhou, all the children who are born must be sent back to Daming around the age of three, and they can only go to the fief after they get married at the age of 16.

All children who did not grow up in Daming will have no inheritance rights.

And these children, when they reach the age of six, will all enter the Royal School uniformly and receive education in Ming patriotism and science and technology.

With this method, at least within a hundred years, it can prevent some people from having selfish intentions.

As for the future, Zhu Zhanji can't take care of such a long-term matter for the time being.

At that time, the technological development of Ming Dynasty will definitely enter a new era, with frequent contacts from various places, even if some people have the desire to be self-reliant, it may be difficult to realize it.

Zhu Di recognized Zhu Zhanji's arrangements very much. In many aspects, they were more perfect than he thought.

And at Zhu Zhanji's insistence, he chose a year name "orthodox" for Zhu Zhanji.

Choosing this year name surprised Zhu Zhanji. He didn't expect that he would steal his son's year name.

However, from this year name, it can also be seen that Zhu Di attaches great importance to the orthodoxy of the royal family.He succeeded in stealing the position at the beginning. In order to conceal his unorthodox status, he almost abolished all the policies formulated during Zhu Yunqi's period.

Even in the Taimiao, there is no tablet of Zhu Yunqi, who considers himself the second emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Now, he chose this year name for Zhu Zhanji again, claiming to be orthodox, and everyone knows his thoughts.

Zhu Zhanji is actually very satisfied with this year name, at least much stronger than that Xuande.Xuande's reign name sounds very petty at first glance.

But when the entire Ming Dynasty was preparing for Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne, a "small case" occurred in Jiajiang Industrial Zone, which alarmed Zhu Zhanji in the palace.

On the sixth day of August, Tang Boyong, the head of the eighth grade of Daming Special Steel Works, never returned home after going to Qinhuai River.

Two days later, his family and the Ministry of Industry found out that he was missing, and immediately searched everywhere, but he seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news of him.

At the beginning, Ying Tianfu took over the case. They checked the itinerary of the two of them and conducted a thorough investigation. After they found no results, they alerted the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After the criminal department took over the case, they didn't find any clues, but the fact that they didn't find any clues was the biggest doubt.

Any person, in front of the state machine, all his whereabouts will be traced out, without leaving any traces of doubt, which can only mean that the importance of this incident has far exceeded the importance of his disappearance itself.

At this time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to pay attention to it, and invited Jin Yiwei to assist, and began to investigate his family, social relations, and the nature of his work.

The two organizations joined forces, but failed to find any useful clues, and this person seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a message came from Xiangyang Mansion.

A waiter in a hostel found a small piece of cloth in the gap between the kang and the wall on the second day after the guests left. On the cloth was written "Help, Pashtun, Tang Boyong." "Nine words.

This Xiaoer received all the passing merchants all day long, and he was considered well-informed. When he saw this blood letter, he didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to the official.

Yu Shiji, the magistrate of Xiangyang, happened to come to Beijing from Xiangyang. He was promoted to be the servant of the Ministry of punishment, and he wanted to dare to arrive in the capital before the ninth day of September.

After inquiring carefully about the size of the caravan, fellow Zhi Meng Huai sent fifty yamen servants to chase after the caravan, and they caught up with the caravan in Junzhou.

But I never thought that although the number of this caravan was slightly small, all of them were extremely brave. These government servants were just ordinary officials, but they were killed by the opponent, most of whom were killed, and the opponent abandoned the boat and went ashore and hid in the mountains.

Meng Huai, who got the news, did not dare to be negligent, and immediately reported it to the Chief Secretary of Hubei Province, and urged the Procuratorate to be punished, and the local Jinyiwei and Xiangyangwei to assist in the pursuit.

When the news reached Yingtian Mansion, the Ministry of Justice and Jin Yiwei knew that Tang Boyong had been directly kidnapped, obviously trying to take him away from Daming.
