I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

This person is the second son of Qianning King Muying, the head of the Mu family's generation, Mu Sheng, Duke of Qian.

For this grand ceremony, the old man called over all the people related to the royal family, even Mu Sheng, who only let his son come over when Zhu Zhangui got married, rushed over in person.

"Fortunately, it's just that the capital has changed a bit. I haven't been here for a long time, and it seems a little bit old."

Mu Sheng has a steady personality, is unsmiling, and usually speaks rigidly, even when facing Zhu Zhangui, the grandson of the emperor, he speaks very seriously.

Since Zhu Pangpang fasted and meditated in the ancestral temple, the old man gave Zhu Zhangui the task of entertaining the Duke.

Since the two met in the morning until now, if Zhu Zhangui didn't take the initiative to speak, the master would just sit there without saying a word, which made Zhu Zhangui feel dizzy for a while. In addition, the two had never been in contact with each other. Kyu can only have an awkward chat with nothing to say.

Seeing Mu Sheng who replied with a sentence, he looked out of the window in silence again, Zhu Zhangui's eyelids trembled, and he continued to ask questions when he had nothing to say.

"Recently, I heard that Cochin is not stable. Uncle Shi is in Yunnan, so he knows about these things."

When the question of the place was mentioned, Mu Sheng finally responded. He frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said simply and competently.

"There may be a fight this year, and the court has to make preparations."

Then fell silent again.

Zhu Zhangui: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhangui asked with a smile.

"If this matter is left to Uncle Shi, I wonder if Uncle Shi can settle it."

Mu Sheng frowned again thinking, and just when Zhu Zhangui thought he didn't intend to answer, he replied: "8 soldiers can solve the problem, but fighting can't solve the problem. The problem of local management is the most important thing. There is no good official. , there will still be problems.”

"The Yu Qian you sent to Yunnan Guizhou to be the governor some time ago is good. If possible, let him preside over Cochin!"

After Mu Sheng said this, Zhu Zhangui thought that the other party would shut up immediately, but when he was about to express his thoughts, Mu Sheng continued.

"It's a mountainous forest area. It's not easy to deploy a large army, and the main thing is to fight in small groups. I heard that the weapons of the Shenji Battalion are good. Can you send a group there when I leave!"

Now it was Zhu Zhangui's turn to be silent.

The Mu family is a very special family for the Ming Dynasty. ....

The founder of the family, Mu Ying, is Lao Zhu's adopted son, and his own father is a brother.

Mu Ying has nothing to say, she has made great contributions to the Great Ming's wars all her life, although she is not her own son, Lao Zhu treats him like her own son.

Later, Empress Ma died of illness, and Mu Ying vomited blood even more in grief. When Zhu Biao passed away, she was even more heartbroken, and then followed closely.

The sons even guarded the border for the country, guarding the tranquility of Yunnan and the frontiers of Ming Dynasty.

But those who become emperors are all suspicious people, not to mention outsiders, even their own family members don't believe it.

The status of the Mu family in Yunnan has already faintly overwhelmed the royal family. If Yu Qian and Zheng Heng hadn't engaged in that incident, the local people would only know that the Mu family did not know the court.

With high position and power, living in the frontier, and having a great reputation, such local princes

, the emperor can rest assured that there is a ghost.

Perhaps for this reason, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history did not trust the Mu family, and even wanted to eliminate their titles many times.

In fact, don't say that the later emperors, including Lao Zhu, tried to weaken the Mu family's rights after Mu Ying's death.

Zhu Zhangui's two grandfathers were both sealed off to Yunnan. The meaning was that they wanted their sons to weaken the Mu family's influence on Yunnan. Unfortunately, neither of the two sons succeeded.

During the Jianwen period, Zhu Zhangui's fifth grandfather, Zhu Wei, was played by the unsmiling Mu Sheng in front of him when the court was cutting down the vassals, and told Jianwen about some of his illegal actions. Zhangzhou.

Later, when the old man ascended the throne, he wanted to deal with the north. In addition, because of his improper position, in order to win people's hearts, after a battle, he promoted the Mu family's original title of Marquis to Duke. The position in Yunnan is more stable.

When Yu Qian came back from Ah San and passed by Yungui, the night Yu Qian chatted with Zhu Zhangui, he also talked about the Mu family.

In Yu Qian's words, it is a blessing for the court that the Mu family is loyal to the court. If there are ulterior motives, it will be a catastrophe for the court.

In the past few years, with the stability of the north, the power of the imperial court has gradually become stronger, and he has the strength to withdraw his hand. The old man wants to take back the rights of the Mu family.

So this time, Mu Sheng was called over in the name of ancestor worship, just to find an opportunity to move the Mu family out of Yunnan.

It doesn't matter if they are sent to the capital to watch, or they can be sent to other places as officials, anyway, they are not allowed to stay in Yunnan.

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui heard that he wanted a weapon, he just laughed and said nothing, Mu Sheng didn't say anything more, and turned his head to look at the scenery of Shiji outside the window.

Although he is a bit serious, he is not a person who does not know the world.

According to what he learned in Jinling these two days, he already understood in his heart that the imperial court planned to weaken their Mu family's strength.

He was a little dissatisfied with this.

His father and son did their best for the court, and his father fought for the court all his life. As a result of such a great effort, not only did he not gain the trust of the court, but he was guarded against him. How can this not be chilling.

Resist, he didn't think about it.

Although the Mu family is strong, compared to the imperial court, they are nothing more than bigger ants.

Today's old man is also a man who is good at fighting, and his prestige is no less than that of old Zhu. If he is determined to weaken the Mu family, no one will dare to stand up and object. ....

Thinking about what the Mu family should do in the future, Mu Sheng's face was full of melancholy.

There was silence in the carriage, and there was no conversation until the train station.

"Uncle Shi is here, let's go, let's go see the lifeblood of our Daming in the future!"

Zhu Zhangui got out of the carriage first, then smiled and reached out to help Mu Sheng.

An unnatural smile appeared on Mu Sheng's serious face, and he waved his hand to reject Zhu Zhangui's kindness.

"I'm not old yet, so I won't bother Your Highness."

After getting off the carriage, Mu Sheng nodded to Zhu Zhangui, tidied up his national uniform, and strode towards the old man who also got off the carriage.

Looking at the distant back, Zhu Zhangui narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed with a smile.

"How are you talking, uncle and nephew!"

Looking at the two people who came over, the old man asked with a smile, and then said to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your second uncle is a veteran with rich experience in the battlefield. If you don't understand anything, you should ask your second uncle for advice."

Then he smiled at Mu Sheng and said, "Jing Mao, you are not allowed to hide your secrets!"

"I don't dare. If Your Highness has any questions to ask, I will definitely tell you everything, and I will say everything!"

"Hahaha, good!"

The old man laughed and said hello, cast a veiled glance at Zhu Zhangui, saw him shaking his head slightly, and held Mu Sheng's hand with the same smile on his face.

"Let's go, let's take a look with me, our Ming Dynasty's future transportation artery has officially set sail!"

Of course Mu Sheng doesn't

Dare to refuse, followed the old man into the train station.

"Grandson, is your grandfather planning to take over the Mu family?"

Just when Zhu Zhangui was about to follow, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who jumped off the carriage, narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man and Mu Sheng who walked in with a big smile, walked quickly to Zhu Zhangui's side, and stretched out his arms over his shoulder.

Zhu Zhangui cast a glance at the gossip-faced Ning Wang Zhu Quan, and said unhappily.

"Grandpa Seventeen, when will you be able to control your mouth? Why did you get beaten last time? Have you forgotten?"

Zhu Quan curled his lips, and said in a low voice indifferently.

"Grand grandson, Grandpa Seventeen is not talking nonsense this time. The Mu family has already taken root in Yunnan. If you don't eradicate it as soon as possible while your grandfather is here, it will become your heart disease in the future. Ten Seventh Grandpa, this is all for your own good."

Several black lines appeared on Zhu Zhangui's forehead.

This master is really a crow standing on the coal pile, saying that others are black but he doesn't think he is black.

The Mu family is an unstable factor, and you, the old man, don't seem to be a good bird either.

Zhu Zhangui's disgusted eyes, as if King Ning didn't see it, looked at the tall train station with a smile and asked.

"I heard from your grandfather that this train does not need to eat grass or rest, and it can travel from Jinling to Peiping in two days and one night."

Zhu Zhangui, who was also looking at the layout of the train station, nodded.

"Yeah, about this time."

Immediately, a smirk flashed in his eyes, and he said to King Ning, "The next step is to build from Jinling to Nanchang. When you come again, Grandpa Seventeen, you won't have to travel so hard in a carriage."

"The road from Nanchang to Jinling can be reached in less than a day. By then, Grandpa will miss you. We can go there anytime, and you can come here anytime."...

"And the transportation capacity is also very strong. With fully armed soldiers, it is no problem to pull thousands of people."

"At that time, someone will dare to bully you, Grandpa Seventeen. I received the news the day before and went there the next day."

King Ning Zhu Quan, who was laughing and listening, froze suddenly, looked at Zhu Zhangui who was sizing him up jokingly, and said with a dry smile.

"Really? That's pretty fast, pretty good, hehehe..."

What he said was good, but King Ning scolded his mother in his heart.

Who the hell invented the train, how can I get into trouble after messing with me like this.

Thinking of his rebellion the day before, and the imperial army driving to his door the next day, King Ning wished that the train would explode immediately, and the guy who developed the train would die immediately.

What a fucking bad conscience, there are so many things in the world that I don’t study, but I study this, which guy who has a son without an asshole thinks it.

The grandfather and grandson chatted awkwardly all the way, and entered the train station with the brigade.

Because it was a trial run, there was only one train parked on the few rows of tracks in the train station.

The tall locomotive is billowing with thick smoke, and the steam is continuously released, and it is ready to set off at any time.

It took too long for the ignition fee to start, and it was impossible for the old man and the civil and military ministers to wait here.

So after setting the time, the steam engine was ignited in advance at the train station, ready to leave at any time.

"What's up, can we go?"

When he came to the side of the train, the old man looked at the tall locomotive and the carriages hanging behind him, and asked Zhou Xuan, who was in charge of the steam engine, who came up to him.

"Back to the emperor, you are ready and ready to go at any time."

It was the first time for him to face so many civil and military ministers, and it was also the first time for his own research to face the world. Zhou Xuan was a little excited and stuttered.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing that the capable craftsman under his command was a little nervous, the old man laughed and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

Such talents are precious.

There is no shortage of famous ministers and generals in Ming Dynasty, what is lacking is this kind of top talents who can promote the development of the times, as Sun Tzu said.

Since Daming had undergone tremendous changes due to the craftsman camp, the old man was no longer as ordinary to these craftsmen as before.

Every time I inspect the artisan camp, I will greet these artisans cordially, and the welfare of their families will be maximized.

For some skilled craftsmen, the benefits that the old man asked the court to give were even higher than that of a second- and third-rank official.

Although many officials complained about this, the old man pretended not to hear it.

There are many people in the world who want to be an official. If you have an opinion, don't do it and let others come. Don't occupy the latrine and waste the position.

"Let's go, everyone, there is nothing to do these two days, all loves, follow me to see the Peking Palace!"

After appeasing Zhou Xuan, the old man waved to the civil and military officials behind him, and was the first to board the carriage with Mu Sheng's support.

The rest of the ministers saw that even the emperor had gone up, and entered the compartment one by one according to their grades without thinking too much.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

When everyone boarded the car, Zhu Zhangui pulled Zhou Xuan aside and asked in a low voice. ....

The person who boarded the car was the big boss of the entire imperial court. If something happened, the entire imperial court center would be ruined.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I haven't left for the past two days, and I've been checking and staring at it all the time. Even a single screw has been checked several times."

"For a while, I will still watch from the front of the car, and will stop the car at any time if there is any problem."

Zhu Zhangui nodded and patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder.

"Don't feel pressured. The road of scientific research is impossible without mistakes. If something goes wrong, I will bear it. Don't be afraid!"

Zhou Xuan nodded vigorously when he heard the words, and vowed in his heart that even if he was exhausted, he would ensure the safety of the train traveling in Daming for the first time.

After explaining to Zhou Xuan, Zhu Zhangui asked him to prepare, and boarded the old man's carriage.

Daming's train track is much wider than that of later generations, so the carriages will not appear so crowded.

The old man originally wanted to sit in the first car, but considering that the steam engine would explode in case of an accident, it would be very dangerous in the first and second car, so Zhu Zhangui let the old man sit in the third car and put Section 1 and Section 1 were given to those princes.

The section where the old man was riding was specially processed, the skin of the compartment was specially reinforced, and there were no side-by-side seats inside, but a structure similar to later generations of touring cars.
