Domineering Daming

Zhou Yingqiu listened, his expression moved slightly, but he didn't speak.Although Bi Ziyan seldom intervenes in military and political affairs, in principle, it is possible.

Does this mean that Sun Chuanting not only has overall considerations for future government affairs, but also has military and political plans in mind?

Xiong Tingbi didn't think too much, thought for a while, and said: "It would be great if we could block the enemy here or cut it off at the waist, but Gansu's geography is complicated, it is difficult for a large army to move, and it is even more difficult to station for a long time, plus logistical difficulties, I am afraid it will not be easy... ..."

Sun Chuanting also served in the military. He knew that Xiong Tingbi's words were reasonable, but he didn't say much, saying: "Well, the planning of Liaodong cannot be stopped. The people's livelihood is the focus, and the military is the focus. Don't be biased."

The main theme of the Ming Dynasty is still to respond to disasters. One of the main functions of Liaodong is to receive disaster victims from Shanchuan, Guiyun and other places.

Zhou Yingqiu, as the prime minister of Liaodong, said: "Your official understands that Liaodong is now self-sufficient. In the next three years, it will be able to receive about 200 million disaster victims. In another five years, it will be able to pay taxes for the court."

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhou Yingqiu and smiled, and he was more polite to this future cabinet minister, and said: "There will be a big change in Annan, and now only the cabinet knows, let me let you know, Nan'an and the emperor have decided to withdraw , Dorgon's people will migrate away, and the court will soon send people to receive them. The direction of future immigration will focus on Annan..."

Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Yingqiu, as high-ranking officials and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, were naturally reported by the residence and knew about the changes in the southeast peninsula, but they never thought that there would be such a change.

Zhou Yingqiu's expression quickly calmed down, and he said, "Nanannan has been cultivated by Dorgon for many years, and the land itself is fertile. If it takes two to three million victims in two or three years, it should not be a problem."

Sun Chuanting did not say that the total population of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Guizhou is only 3000 million. Over the years since the new emperor ascended the throne, more than 1000 million people have been resettled in Liaodong, Bei'an and South.

Now that the disaster is serious, it is good to have less talk, but we must also plan for the aftermath of the disaster.

Sun Chuanting was full of thoughts, "chatting" with Zhou Yingqiu, Xiong Tingbi and others.

At the same time, another thing came to his mind. Elder Bi Ge had already returned to Beijing. Facing a court situation that was destined to break through his hard work, years of painstaking efforts would be in vain. What would he do?What do you think of him, Sun Chuanting?

Zhou Yingqiu accompanied him calmly, and his heart was also not at peace.

He is about to enter the cabinet. This is something that everyone in the world knows. It can be said that he is "the most popular" and "unmatched" candidate.

However, he felt this uneasiness in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't figure out the reason for this uneasiness. These days, every time he looked in the direction of the capital, he felt a strange feeling of trepidation, and felt a trace of long-lost fear.

"What's the reason?" Zhou Yingqiu couldn't figure it out. He was the leader of the "Emperor Party". feeling?

Xiong Tingbi is full of ambition. He has been in Liaodong for many years, and now he will be transferred to be the Minister of Mongolia and command the Mongolian cavalry.

Xiong Tingbi looked in the direction of the capital, ambitious, and planned to go to Mongolia to let go of his hands and feet and do a big job!

Not only the three of them, but with the imminent change in the court situation, I don't know how many people are gearing up to make contributions and become famous under the leadership of the new Shoufu!

But in Jingdezhen, Zhu Xu had a headache.

Xiao Ciyi came, this little guy was also having fun in Shenlong Mansion, now he was brought by his elder brother and sister, around the Xingyuan, the four children hardly stopped, and once even secretly brought little Cixi, who was almost two years old, with him, The five little guys were about to slip out of the gate, but fortunately they were spotted by the imperial guards and stopped them, which shocked the gate up and down.

The Empress Empress Zhang Yun was already dissatisfied with the children's disrespectful mischief. Zhu Xu took her with her and endured it. It was a small punishment and a big punishment, but this time, it pissed her off.

Little Shuxian, little Ciye, little Cixuan, and little Ciyi were sent directly to the farmhouse. They would do whatever a child of this age in the farmhouse should do, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

This time the four little guys were tossed enough, the first one who couldn't hold on was Xiao Shuxian, who realized she was wrong after crying, and promised to be honest in the future and not to mess around again.

Zhu Xu originally thought that it would be fine for the child to know the mistake, but Zhang Yun insisted so much this time that Zhu Xu couldn't do anything about it.

The little girl was crying and couldn't come back, so she could only insist on staying.The second one who couldn't hold on was Xiao Ciyi. This little guy was spoiled and spoiled.

But little Ciye and little Cixuan are two little fellows. Little Cixuan is rough-skinned and thick-skinned. He dances with knives and guns all day long. Although he does some farm work, he has plenty of work. I had a great time playing.Little Ciye has been silent all the time, doing whatever he should do, well-behaved, square and upright, and not bad at all.

Naturally, they were guarded by guards, and their every move would be reported to Zhu Xu.

He sat on the chair and watched the recorded actions of the four little guys, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

In other words, looking at the adults outside, he was sure, but his son, he couldn't be sure, he couldn't be sure what the four children would look like in the future.

Chapter 1293 Before the Change

Despite all kinds of conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties of the Ming Dynasty, people's hearts were boiling, and the confrontation was fierce, the helmsmen on the big ship of "New Deal" were still racing against time to make preparations.

Since Zhang Yun was really angry, Zhu Xu couldn't take a few children to play around. The four little guys experienced a lot of changes in their personalities.

Zhu Xu felt that Zhang Yun's education was very good, and discussed in bed at night that the princes and daughters should come to experience it every two years.

Zhu Xu didn't ground the little ones, but he didn't make them play so crazy.

Time passed quickly in Jingdezhen, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Cixi's second birthday is approaching, and Xingyuan is full of joy.

The little guy was able to speak. He was a cute little guy. He spoke in a childlike voice, his eyes were bright, and the smile on his face almost never stopped.

In the evening, after Zhu Xu had some food, he got busy in the small study.

What he held in his hand was the result of this exposition sent by Shenlong Mansion.

This is a very long list, which contains records of various transactions, which are detailed, concise, and clear at a glance.

Zhu Xu looked at it slowly, the list was very long, and all the records were the sales list of this trade fair.

In the front row are tea, spices, silk, porcelain, and various glass products, screens, mirrors, pots and pans, canned food, kettles, etc. If you look carefully, there are also various cloth and raw silk , Paper... There are all kinds of paper, up to hundreds of kinds.

Of course, there is also arms, but the expo is not qualified to sell arms, and some people have sent letters to the Foreign Affairs Bureau, hoping that the expo will add arms items.

Whether it's around Daming, coastal countries, or Europe, I don't know how many people want to buy Daming's powerful artillery.

The Dutch and the Spaniards also ordered fifty ships of various kinds from Daming in the form of a deposit, and hoped to install weapons.

Zhu Xu didn't care about these, and looked at the final transaction amount, which was written in capital letters: 6705 million taels of silver.

Zhu Xu's face was full of smiles, and he let out a sigh of relief.This is just a deal on the spot, and the intended amount may be several times this!

Zhu Xu danced in his heart, and a series of beautiful pictures appeared in his mind. He became more satisfied and smiled more on his face. He suddenly looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "How is the matter of dispatching diplomats along the sea?"

Cao Huachun hastily stepped forward and said: "Coastal countries have not had much setbacks. The Foreign Affairs Bureau has adopted some bribery methods. At present, more than 20 countries, large and small, are willing to let me send diplomats to Daming, and send diplomats to stay in Daming." .”

Zhu Xu sat up straight, and said: "Well, this should be used efficiently, not only for military considerations, trade first, and other follow-ups. Tell the Foreign Affairs Bureau that trade is the most important thing at present, and there must be no slack in the slightest."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu groped for the chair with one hand, and said: "The joint fleet needs to continue to expand, especially the bases, which need to be built more, and at the same time build up the fortifications. We need to point to the surface. There is no need to do anything now, lay the foundations, and find out the situation... "

Cao Huachun remembered silently, his heart was as calm as usual.

No one understands the ambition of His Majesty better than him. When Daming was staring at the Kingdom of Jin, he was already preparing for the navy, but when the whole country was staring at the "New Deal", he was already planning overseas.

The person in front of him stands taller than everyone in Daming, sees far, and plans far and wide, unpredictable.

"Perhaps, the emperor really wants to surpass Taizu Taizong..."

Cao Huachun thought to himself and listened carefully to Zhu Xu's words.

Zhu Xu talked for a while, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "About arms, how about the export-oriented firearms that I asked the Arms Bureau to make?"
