Ming Emperor Chat Group, Creating Apocalyptic Prosperity

Apocalypse seven years, winter.

The policy of changing rice to mulberry was implemented very smoothly, and the second wave of mulberry leaves was also successfully harvested.

With mulberry leaves, there are more silkworm farmers. The reason for this is mainly due to the strong subsidies from the imperial court.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao was very generous because he supported China's sericulture industry!

And the household department, which always croaked about being poor, also shut up.

There is no way, who will make more money from sailing to the west, and the treasury will have money.

Those people who came out to stop them in the past, the most excuse is two words: "no money"

However, the state treasury is not particularly rich, but it is quite rich now!

The most important thing is that in these years, there has been no war, and the voyages have made a lot of money, so everything is stable.

Nowadays, the Jurchens in Liaodong have been crippled, and the Mongolian Tartars are scattered and useless.

Now, the largest nomads are only Junggar.

The Junggars are very aware of current affairs. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger day by day, they also know that being honest is the last word.

The current Khan of Zhungeer has also bowed his head to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he often comes to pay tribute with tribute.

They have only one idea now, that is, they hope to do business with the Ming Dynasty, and use their cattle, sheep and horses to exchange the necessities of life with the Ming Dynasty.

No way, nomads don't know how to farm land, grow tea, make ceramics, let alone weave cloth.

If they want to obtain these necessities of life, they either go south to rob them, or they can only exchange them with cattle and sheep.

In the current situation, it is impossible for the nomads to go south to snatch it.

If they dare to snatch it, the Ming army will send them to the west with one shot!

Therefore, these nomads can only drive the cattle and sheep honestly, so that I can exchange things with the Ming Dynasty.

On the side of the Ming Dynasty, because the animal husbandry industry did not pay much attention to it, these cattle and sheep were also very much needed.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between the current Ming Dynasty and the Mongols is quite harmonious.

Anyway, everyone takes what they need.

Isn't it good to exchange items as you like? Why fight and kill?

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the fists of the Ming Dynasty are hard enough!

There is no war on the border, and the interior of the Ming Dynasty is quite stable.

Especially with the construction of cement roads, almost all the corvee system in the Ming Dynasty was abolished!

During the slack season, the common people either came to help build roads, or went to the city to work for the landlords and old rich.

Everyone has land to grow, and every family has 243 grains!

In this situation of not worrying about eating and drinking, the people are peaceful and peaceful!

In addition, "two-wheeled bicycles" and "three-wheeled bicycles" have become popular in the state capitals where cement roads have been built.

Of course, there is also the love of "Xiangzi" in his life: "two-wheeled rickshaw".

Especially in the bustling Beijing and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

In our alleys, we can see these light vehicles from time to time.

At the same time that two-wheeled vehicles and tricycles are popularized.

The spring and March of the eighth year of Apocalypse!

The Ministry of Industry developed the first four-wheeled steam car!

After repeated experiments, tests, and quality inspections, the Ministry of Industry dared to ask His Majesty the Emperor for a reward!

After learning that the steam car was stable, Zhu Youxiao went to check it with great interest.

Although he has seen cars of the new era, he has only heard of them like ancient steam cars, but he has never seen them.

As for vague glimpses in textbooks, forget it.

So he is very curious about steam cars!

Ministry of Industry, test site.

The moment he saw the "four-wheeled steam car", Zhu Youxiao frowned...

"Your Majesty! This is a steam car. Look, how about this? Isn't it cool?"

The person who spoke was Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and at this moment he was very excited to introduce the fruits of labor of the people in the Ministry of Industry to the emperor boss!

"Forehead……………"

Looking at the strangely shaped "steam car" in front of him, Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to describe it...

how to say.

It's just four wheels with a big gas tank on it.

He doesn't even know where to sit...

No, he doesn't even know where to stand....

How should I put it, this steam car has nothing to do with the car except that the four wheels look like a car!

Zhu Youxiao thought, this should be the most "initial form" of the steam car.

In his previous life, his modern history was not very good, and he had only a vague concept of steam cars.

Seeing such a strange thing all of a sudden, I'm somewhat unaccustomed to it

Zhu Youxiao was speechless, but all the people in the Ministry of Industry at this time were full of hope, and their faces were full of "Your Majesty, praise us quickly"!

He had no choice but to suppress the speechlessness in his heart [turning to the Minister of War, (aidg)

"Open one and show me."

He would like to see how this big gas tank works.

Facts have proved that this big gas tank can really be used.

Accompanied by the siren sound of "woo woo woo", a lot of smoke began to float from the chimney above the large gas tank!

Meanwhile, the steam car is moving!

The two drivers could only stand behind the big gas tank to operate, and they didn't know what they were busy with.

Looks like it's busy anyway...

All of a sudden, the whistle of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out out of the water"!

And the smoke from the chimney of the steam car also permeated the surrounding area!

For a moment, Zhu Youxiao felt as if he was in the oldest railway station...

"Your Majesty! How is it?"

While driving, Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs yelled excitedly at the emperor's boss, keeping his hands busy!

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if he was busy manipulating the direction, or adding coal to it, or what he was doing...

Anyway...it just looks very busy...

Moreover, the steam and smoke permeating the surroundings really made it hard for people to see his specific operations clearly.

"Hmm...it's pretty fast.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and could only give such an evaluation.

It seems that things like steam are more suitable for trains...

As for the car...  

Let's wait until the Ministry of Industry develops the internal combustion engine...

Ever since, the Ministry of Industry began to develop steam trains again.

On the other hand, the cement roads under the responsibility of the Ministry of Communications are basically almost finished.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, except for the less populated and remote places like Yunnan and Guizhou, almost all the avenues in other state capitals have been built with concrete roads.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao ordered that next, the Ministry of Communications is going to start building railways!

After all, the steam train is about to be developed, and the rails will naturally fall down!

The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Communications are all busy!

With the increase of silkworm breeders and sericulture people, there are more and more silkworms!

With silk, the silk output of Jiangnan Weaving Co., Ltd. has skyrocketed!

Three million silk orders were completed in April of the eighth year of the Apocalypse!

Two full months earlier than originally planned in June!

A large number of goods have been successfully loaded onto the ship, the fleet, personnel, munitions and equipment, everything is ready!

The third voyage to the West during the Tianqi Year officially set off at the beginning of May of the eighth year of the Tianqi!

The fleet is out, the steam train has taken shape, the railway is being repaired, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

After nearly four years of busy work, Zhu Youxiao can finally take a breather.

In the past four years, too many things have happened in the Ming Dynasty, and too many changes have been made, too many to count!

In short, in the past four years, he has been quite busy.

Sometimes I'm so busy that I don't even have time to touch the wood.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao helped him with some political affairs, he, the emperor of the Tianqi Dynasty, still had to make decisions on major matters.

In fact, in the past few years, Zhu Biao was the only one who was really helping Zhu Youxiao with political affairs.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he has moved out of the Forbidden City and bought a clean house outside the city where he can grow vegetables and chickens, and live with Empress Ma.

Only occasionally, I would go to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Most of the time, Lao Zhu is basically hugging the young Queen Ma, you and me, with deep affection.

I'm not ashamed...

In this regard, the target said: no eyes.

Zhu Youxiao said: You just need to be happy.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's "old husband and young wife", outsiders who don't know it can only think: this is "crazy"!

Qianqing palace.

Zhu Youjiao is going to take a nap for a while to rest.

Just as he was about to lie down, he was pulled up by the dark-faced old Zhu.

Lao Zhu seemed to have been greatly wronged, and when he came up, he spit and complained!

And the object of the complaint was his wife, Empress Ma.

"Why do you think this woman is so troublesome! An old woman with a psychological age is so old, she is not so narrow-minded!

Didn't we just say a few words to an older sister, and she got angry!

It's okay to be angry, but even locked the door and didn't let us in, and said we didn't behave properly!

Hey! When we were the emperor, there were so many concubines in the harem, and I never heard her say a word of dissatisfaction!

Why are you acting like a resentful woman now, seeing us talking to a woman, she gets angry!"

Listening to Lao Zhu's complaints, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his ears speechlessly.

The reason why he was so speechless was that it was not the first time that Lao Sheng complained about Queen Ma's "jealousy" with him.

Ever since Lao Zhu got the magical BUFF of "Women's Friend", he has always attracted all kinds of married women around him.

Up to eighty or ninety, down to seventeen or eighteen, in short, the relationship with the opposite sex is very good.

Empress Ma doesn't mind her man marrying a wife and taking concubines, but you are an old man, what's the matter with flirting with married women all day long?

Empress Ma expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.

However, Lao Zhu is still a person who likes to join in the fun, and he likes to chat with other old women when he has nothing to do.

That's right, it's just for old women, who are more than four days old.

Because Lao Zhu really didn't bother to pick up girls, he really just wanted to chat with the talkative eldest sister and talk about it.

However, Queen Ma said that she could not understand this point.

The old couple got into trouble from time to time because of this incident.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao has become accustomed to it, and he is no stranger to it.

"Youxiao, do you think it's your great-grandmother's problem, or ours?"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was silent and was about to fall asleep, Yuan Zhang asked again.

Zhu Youxiao: "I think, this thing... tsk... How should I put it, anyway, that's what I think... Well, it's just such a thing..."

Zhu Yuanzhang:

Why did he have a feeling that he heard it, but he didn't listen...

"Why don't you do it like this, Grandpa Taizu, you can talk to Master Xingzong, he should have a solution!"

Zhu Youxiao decided to kick the ball to Zhu Biao and let Zhu Biao, his son, solve the problem.

"Forget it, he was the one who asked us to come to you, and he said that you must have a solution!" Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

Zhu Youxiao: "..

Well, it looks like he's been kicked too....

Chongzhen eight years.

Around eleven thirty in the evening.

Little Chongzhen is staying up all night criticizing books!

He has always been very hardworking and active!

However, his positive results do not seem to be great...

Over the past few years, the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Chongzhen seemed to have stabilized a lot.

Since the "Daling River" was built, Liaodong has faintly shown signs of recovery!

(In the previous chapter, I made a mistake in repairing "Hetao". The correct one is to repair "Daling River". Now I have no permission to modify the chapter. "Sorry, brother Meng!)

Now the cannons, cavalry, and guns are all ready!

Just wait for Huang Taiji to come to his door to send him to death!

However, what makes Zhu Youjian feel strange is that Huang Taiji, who used to be arrogant and often went south to rob, has become so honest in recent years?

Since Chongzhen's four-year "Battle of Daling River", the Jin army has been silent, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

In the past, they dared to bypass Mongolia and fight to the capital, but now there is no movement at all?

Zhu Youjian was really puzzled, but when he was puzzled, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, his elder brother Zhu Youxiao reminded him that he must pay attention to repairing the Daling River!

Otherwise, there is no immediate solid line of defense, and the confidence to destroy gold in one fell swoop!

It was only later that Zhu Youjian realized that Yinling River was an important line of defense to shield Jinzhou!

If Ming Dynasty wants to stabilize Liaodong, it must build this city!

Then if Jin wanted to attack Ming, he had to demolish this city!

Daling River is a very important existence for Daming and Houjin!

Zhu Youjian is very fortunate to have such a good brother Zhu Youxiao remind him!

Fortunately, at the same time, he remembered that Zhu Youxiao once said that he would come to help him during the reign of Chongzhen when he was free.

"well……………"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help sighing.

He has been waiting for so many years, but he still hasn't waited for his elder brother to come...

Waiting for him is hopeless......

Even if it is to open the chat group as soon as possible, so that he can meet his eldest brother and ask him some problems.

But four years have passed, and there is no movement to start a chat group

Zhu Youjian had no choice but to pack up and get up, ready to take a bath and change clothes, and then choose a concubine to sleep with.

It's too late to say it!

Just as he stood up, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!

It seems to be a gate of time and space, match!

Zhu Youjian's first reaction was his own thoughts just now!

Could it be that his elder brother Zhu Youxiao heard his call and came to help him in person?

Just when Zhu Youjian was about to shout "little daddy" to welcome his elder brother!

The next moment he saw a clear human face, but the corners of his mouth that were raised high, slowly drooped down...

"Grandfather Cheng? Why are you?"
