Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

The money was given.

There's no more tea.

After sending away the Tokugawa bird, Fan Wencheng sat on the chair and let out a breath.

This is the only way to go.

Originally, he wanted to talk about trade issues with the Red Ghost.

But after thinking about it, I decided to let it go first.

The Qing Dynasty's finances are not very rich, and if you want to negotiate with the Red Ghost, you will need a lot of money.

Let's take it slow first.

Doesn’t Japan want to buy weapons?

Just make some money and then think about the red ghost thing.

A month passed quickly.

Early April.

As the weather gradually turned hotter, Zhu Youjian was holding Zhu Cihong in his arms while correcting the memorial in the imperial palace in the capital.

After the beginning of this year, Zhu Youjian clearly felt that the pressure was gradually reducing.

There was even a situation where there was nothing to do for several days in a row.

The interior of the court has been completely shaken up, and with the continuous growth of the Jin Yiwei, his decrees have been able to be passed on more smoothly.

Daming's broken carriage is finally becoming more and more stable.

"Taizu, Lu Xiangsheng came to report that King Khan of the Horqin family sent his son to secretly meet with him several times."

"He said he is willing to rebuild relations with Ming Dynasty and is willing to reveal Huang Taiji's movements to us."

"I've been thinking about this for a while, whether it might be a trap set by Huang Taiji."

While correcting the memorial in hand, Zhu Youjian was in a good mood and chatting with Taizu.

With fewer things to do, he was less stressed.

Naturally, the more I sleep, the more sound I get, and I can eat an extra bowl of food.

Visibly to the naked eye, he has gained weight.

"Possible but unlikely."

"Didn't Mao Wenlong come with the news that he asked Hai Lanzhu to write a letter to his family and let them think about it early?"

"It's possible that he is really preparing to leave a way out for himself."

Wang Chen, who was sitting on the chair, crossed his legs and shook his head.

Of course, although the possibility is low, it is not impossible.

Anyway, just keep an eye out.

"Then I asked Lu Xiangsheng to strengthen contact."

"It would also be good for us if we could grasp the specific movements of Huang Taiji."

That's it...

Zhu Youjian wiped his face to show his understanding.

Just catch it first. If it turns out to be useful, it won't be too late to reward it.

"Well, just let Lu Xiangsheng take care of it."

"By the way, it will be June soon."

"Is all the food in Shaanxi ready?"

"Don't starve to death again this year."

Wang Chen shrugged indifferently, and the topic changed to Shaanxi.

It was only April and the drought in Shaanxi had already become apparent.

Not a drop of rain has fallen for two consecutive months, which is really outrageous.

"Don't worry, Tian Ergeng is keeping an eye on this matter personally."

"Including Wei Zhongxian is also secretly investigating."

"The food and grass supplies were ready in the middle of last month. If it doesn't rain this month, we will open a warehouse immediately to provide relief."

Shaanxi...

Zhu Youjian also frowned slightly when he heard Taizu asking about this place.

The situation in Shaanxi this year is indeed not optimistic.

It really doesn’t rain!

"In addition to providing food and grass for disaster relief, we also have to monitor those petty officials."

"You have exempted Shaanxi from taxes. You need to prevent those officials from collecting money from the people under the guise of the court."

"As long as you find someone who dares to act like this, kill him immediately!"

Wang Chen is relatively relieved about Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.

Although Jinyiwei is somewhat decayed, it has recovered a lot in the past two years.

The point is that Tian Ergeng is under a lot of pressure now, and he will definitely do things seriously for his own head.

"I know that."

"Obviously, I have sent people from the Legalists to Shaanxi."

"If someone is looking for death, he will definitely be killed without mercy!"

Zhu Youjian heard what Taizu said and hurriedly said that he was ready.

The Legalists have long since passed, and those officials had better not mess around.

Otherwise, just wait for death.

"That's fine. By the way, how is the situation at the Mo family?"

"It's been two months and there's still no news."

Turning over, Wang Chen yawned before continuing to ask.

After Zhu Youjian came back last time and told him the results of his chat with Mo Ruyu, Wang Chen became even more interested in the Mo family.

Boiling water to drive a car sounds simple, but in fact it is not easy at all.

The fact that the Mohists could carry one or two people on board showed that they had mastered the basic technology of steam power.

This is truly more than two hundred years ahead of the world.

"No news yet."

"I heard that Mo Ruyu had a big quarrel with that giant."

"Hey, if it doesn't work, we can only let the Ministry of Industry do it on its own."

The Mo family...

Zhu Youjian rubbed his head and looked helpless.

It seemed that the conversation there was not going smoothly.

"Well...it's normal."

"This matter cannot be rushed. Let them figure it out internally."

"By the way, will the railway tracks leading to Datong be laid soon?"

"Once the paving is completed, remember to notify the Ministry of Works to throw the carriage on and try it."

Regarding the Mo family's stubbornness, Wang Chen expressed his understanding although he was a little speechless.

Ideological change takes time.

Just take your time.

Anyway, there is a horse-drawn carriage even if there is no train, it is just slower.

"Yes, I understand."

Taizu was not in a hurry, so Zhu Youjian was even less anxious.

He is only twenty years old and has plenty of time to wait.

Just as he was about to talk about other interesting things, suddenly, Zhu Youjian sniffed and smelled a smell of urine.

Looking down, I saw that his dragon robe had become wet at some point.

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian's face turned dark!

Wasteful stuff!

This is his newly custom-made dragon robe!

-----------------------------

April, Datong, Shaanxi.

Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Zhang Huai, standing on the city wall, couldn't help but "tsk".

When did the weather in Daming become like this?

It’s only April and the temperature is so high. The key is that it hasn’t rained yet.

He remembered that it rained a lot when he was a child.

"Come, let's eat some noodles."

"You said you, others are trying to escape to the capital."

"You'd better just run out."

"This is a place where birds don't poop. What are you doing here?"

Just when Zhang Huai was looking at the sky in a daze.

Behind him, Lu Xiangsheng poured two bowls of oil on the city wall.

He said with a smile while saying hello.

Zhang Huai turned his head quickly when he smelled the smell, and his eyes lit up when he saw the noodles were oily.

"There's no point in staying in the court."

“If you want to make great achievements, you still have to go outside.”

"Besides, there is too much chaos in the court now, and the three schools of Confucianism, France and Mohism will definitely be beaten to death."

"I might get accidentally injured if I stay there. It's safer to come out."

"Emmm, this fried noodles is really fragrant and authentic!"

Zhang Huai waved his hand, squatted on the ground with the noodle bowl in hand, picked up the chopsticks and started to dig into his mouth.

He was talking vaguely while eating.

What does it have to do with him that others want to enter Beijing?

The truly strong ones always take the path that others cannot see.

"It has to be authentic."

“Authentic Shaanxi Youpo Noodles.”

“Eat whatever you want, there’s not enough left in the kitchen.”

"Although this place is poor, Your Majesty provides good food."

"It's okay to have a full stomach."

Listening to what Zhang Huai said, Lu Xiangsheng was somewhat impressed.

Be able to stick to your original intention and not be deceived by the world, and have a long-term vision.

This kid will become a great player in the future.

"Thank you so much, General Lu."

"By the way, I just have something to discuss with you."

"It's for Mongolia."

"I hope to achieve results as soon as possible, and I also ask General Lu to help me a lot."

Zhang Huai laughed and paused for a moment with the chopsticks in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, he lowered his voice.

He has been here for more than a month and already understands the basic situation.

It's time to give Huang Taiji some hard work!
