Domineering Daming

Marshal's Mansion, also known as Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Xu held Xiao Ciye in his arms, thinking while walking, and said: "The affairs of the Wa country should follow the established plan, and don't be interrupted by anything. The affairs of the Wa country must follow our rhythm, and we must report any changes. I know. The situation in the country of Wa is complicated, and the people of the country of Wa are cunning and changeable, so we must be cautious.

Chen Beijing looked solemn, and said: "Yes, I understand."

"Father, I'm hungry." Little Ciye raised his head from Zhu Xu's shoulder and said.

Zhu Xu patted his little head, and said to Chen Beijing: "After you go back, summarize the plan and show it to me. Don't let these people from the Wa Kingdom go away, they are still useful."

"Follow the order." Chen Beijing raised his hand and quietly retreated.

Zhu Xu hugged little Ciye and walked on Chang'an Avenue.

The heavy snow has stopped, and the teahouses and restaurants on both sides are more lively, with endless laughter.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, smiled and said to Xiao Ciye: "Let's go, father will take you to eat something delicious."

The little guy suddenly opened his eyes wide, regained his energy, hugged Zhu Xu's neck, and turned his head to look forward.

Zhu Xu walked for a while, stopped at a restaurant in Zhuangyuan Building, took a look, and walked up to the second floor.

Cao Huachun went to arrange the order in person, and then arranged a box by the window for Zhu Xu and his son.

"Have you heard? I heard that the son of the Great Khan of Mongolia surrendered on his own initiative, and he is going to Beijing soon."

"I know that it was His Royal Highness King Ping who personally went to Guihua City to accept the surrender, and the Khan kings of all Mongolian tribes came together to make offerings. Our emperor has been honored as the 'co-lord of the world'. This world belongs to our emperor and belongs to our Ming Dynasty!"

"I looked at the map just published by the cabinet. Do you know how big our country is? It is more than double the size of the sixth year of the apocalypse, far surpassing the Taizu Taizong!"

"That's right, our emperor has made outstanding achievements and shines in the annals of history. Throughout the ages, he should be the first emperor!"

"You are talking about martial arts, needless to say about these things, as for 'cultural governance', think about it, if such a large-scale 'Jingzheng New Deal' is successful, it will surely shine through the ages and shock the ages, it is said to be the first holy master in 3000 years , it’s not an exaggeration!”

"That is, that is, no matter what, our life is still much better. If it is true to what the newspaper said, our life will definitely be better in the future..."

"Hey, come out quickly, King Ping has returned to the capital, come quickly..."

Then there were bursts of firecrackers, and the sound of bells and drums, as if the whole capital was lively.

"Quick, go and see, the Mongolian Khan is coming..."

"What Mongolian Khan, that is King Shunping, the second-word prince of our Ming Dynasty..."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, let's go and have a look, this is a grand event, and we can tell our children and grandchildren in the future..."

Then, it seemed that the people in the whole building ran out crazily, and the building was empty in a blink of an eye.

Cao Huachun came in from the outside, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ping has returned to Beijing."

Zhu Xu had heard it, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Old Bi Ge has already gone to meet him in person, so I won't go, I have done too much to steal the limelight, this time is not bad, just keep a low profile. "

Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu intended to elevate his position in the cabinet, so he silently stepped aside.

Not long after, Xiao Er came in with a big plate, and said with a smile on his face, "Your official, these are our signature dishes, safflower longan fish, champion lion's head, assorted eight-treasure soup..."

Zhu Xu looked at the dishes on the table, and said to Xiao Ciye who was sitting beside him, "Ye'er, what do you like to eat?"

The little guy blinked, stood up from the chair, held the bowl, and looked at Zhu Xu.

He didn't have much strength in his wrists, and he couldn't hold chopsticks. In the past, they were Li Jieyu or Zhu Xu, and the maids held them for him.

As soon as Xiao Er saw it, he immediately handed a pair of small chopsticks to Xiao Ciye, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, officials, this fish is from Liaodong, and our family has it in the whole capital. There are no thorns, so don't worry about it, young master."

Zhu Xu was startled, then looked at the plate seriously, and asked thoughtfully, "Are there a lot of sea fish now?"

Xiao Er tidied up the table and said with a smile: "No wonder the officials haven't seen it before. These are indeed sea fish. They couldn't be caught before. Now they are all big ships. A dozen or so ships come back from hundreds of miles away. There are fish, shrimp, mussels, seaweed, seaweed, etc. produced by the sea, although they appeared last year, but the quantity is not large, and there will be more this year. I heard that it is better to pay tribute to the palace..."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, and said, "I don't come out very often. I'm watching closely at home. I don't know if there are any changes outside?"

Perhaps it was because Zhu Xu ordered all the signature dishes, or maybe it was because Zhu Xu was full of extravagance, and the waiter was very enthusiastic in his polite manners, saying: "If you want to say that the biggest change is the businessmen who come and go from south to north, now, every day. I know how many carriages went to Nanzhili, and a lot of things were brought back. Some merchants in the capital have made a fortune, and their value has increased by more than ten times. I heard that some merchants have bought more than a dozen large ships. Ready to go to sea..."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. What Xiao Er said was seen from his angle.

The river channel has been dredged, widened, and deepened, the official road has also been turned into a concrete road, and shipping has restarted. Daming's basic transportation has improved a lot. In addition to the changes in the business environment, it is normal for merchants to benefit.

"How are ordinary people doing?" Zhu Xu asked.

Xiaoer took a serious look at Zhu Xu, and then smiled a little reservedly: "Officer, if you dare to speak, you should listen to it."

Zhu Xu smiled gently and said, "Just chatting."

Xiaoer then said: "We have had good times and some have been bad. The capital city has been disturbed all these years, so it has not been very peaceful. I don't know how many people have been involved. But most of them are doing well, and the prices are not high. , there is work to do, there is money to earn, and the government is not as ruthless as before. Relatively speaking, it is still much better..."

Chapter 1123 The overall situation has been decided

Zhu Xu listened to Xiao Er's words and nodded with a smile.

Although the "New Deal" is disturbing, it has already appeared after all. As long as it is further in-depth and meticulous, it will gradually change significantly.

If he can cross the Little Ice River as soon as possible, it will be more obvious, and Daming will enter a new era of soaring!

Xiaoer could see that Zhu Xu was extraordinary, finished speaking cautiously and enthusiastically, and went downstairs after apologizing.

Little Ciye was standing on the chair, holding small chopsticks, and was picking up various food into his bowl, with a very serious expression on his face, but his hands were shaking violently, dropping them on the table from time to time.

Zhu Xu took it with a smile, filled a bowl for him, and watched him eat.

The little guy was really hungry. He sat at the table, took a small spoon, and put the food in the bowl into his mouth.

Zhu Xu looked at him with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help thinking about government affairs in his mind.

King Ping's trip has stabilized the tribes of Mongolia. For ten or eight years, there should be no problems along the Great Wall, so you can rest assured.

Then came the Wa Kingdom. Cao Bianjiao's joint fleet exerted a little pressure. The Wa Kingdom basically had no other choice but to "surrender" with Daming. It was nothing more than a matter of time.

Below that is the southeast peninsula. This place is very chaotic now. Whether it is Burma, Nanzhang, or Siam, the interior is torn apart and scrambled for each other, and the impact of natural disasters is aggravating. Life is not easy. The southern border, visible time inside, no problem.

No worries about foreign aggression, that is internal affairs.

After Zhu Xu sorted out the internal affairs of Ming Dynasty over the years, a big framework and a big trend have been formed. What we need to do now is to deepen the reform and crack those hard bones.For these, there is no need for him to charge forward or go to war, just follow the steps, overcome obstacles, and move forward without hesitation.

There is no need to worry about internal affairs and foreign troubles, and there is only one long-term development left.

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu suddenly looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Hongwu, where are you now?"

Cao Huachun turned sideways, with a calm expression, and said: "Back to the emperor, the Hongwu fleet has been at sea for more than eight months, and now it has gone far. Even if there is a return, it will not be so fast. The Navy and the Military Intelligence Department estimate that they may have already left. After half of it, it is expected to be able to go to the land of Xiyi from June to September next year, and it may take longer, it may take two or three years to return."

"That's about one and a half to two years?" Zhu Xu whispered to himself.
