Mining, building roads, building the Great Wall, building palaces, reclaiming land, and farming... Zhu Xiongying is now very short of people. Although he brought 100,000 craftsmen, the craftsmen alone are not enough, and there is also a shortage of some coolies.

Zhu Xiongying can be more lenient to the craftsmen, but a skilled craftsman is not so easy to train. Such craftsmen are quite precious. Zhu Xiongying still has a lot of things to do next, and there is still a shortage of craftsmen.

But for some prisoners, as long as they don't starve to death, they have to work. Zhu Xiongying will ensure that these people don't starve to death. After all, it is not easy to capture a prisoner. It is better to save a little and don't do it all at once.

Deadly.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying also knew very well that after looking through the dynasties, many dynasties actually did not take foreigners seriously. Benevolent government and other things had no impact on those people, and they did not need to care.

It is impossible to expect Zhu Xiongying to "measure China's material resources and win the favor of the country."

Zhu Xiongying basically wants to destroy and occupy some of the surrounding countries, even if he cannot complete these tasks in his lifetime. But Zhu Xiongying also feels that he must lay the foundation, which can be regarded as leaving a legacy for future generations.

some capital.

Especially some strategic locations that need to be captured at all costs.

With the current national power of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying naturally had the confidence to conquer the world and expand the territory. With the national power of the Ming Dynasty, although it cannot be said that everything is going smoothly or smoothly, he basically has the absolute initiative.

Japan needs to be captured, not only because of the silver mines, but also because it is a pretty good springboard. What's more, if Japan is not managed well, the Japanese pirates will also have a great impact on the southeastern coast, which will affect Zhu Xiongying's plan to explore Southeast Asia.

.

Speaking of springboards, Goryeo has entered Zhu Xiongying's field of vision. Moreover, Goryeo is now in a situation of seeking to usurp the throne, so Zhu Xiongying naturally has his thoughts on it. Taking Goryeo will not only serve as a springboard for Japan, but also provide stability.

Get up from the land of Liaodong.

Even if we attack Beiyuan in the future, this is still a good place to send troops. Not to mention that after taking down Goryeo and managing Liaodong, the Jurchens probably don’t have much room to move. Huang Taiji and others may not even be able to survive.

of soil.

Zhu Xiongying really doesn't care whether he resorts to militancy or not. He just does what he can. But some places definitely need to be conquered, and many things still need to be prepared in advance.

After finishing these tasks, Zhu Xiongying asked, "How are the preparations for the Kaiping Palace?"

Wang Chengen immediately replied, "Sir, the location has been selected. It is close to the root of the imperial city. The prince's palace, the county prince's palace, and the princess's palace are together. The materials are also ready, and construction can start at any time."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, quite satisfied with this arrangement, "Go and keep an eye on it. The princess's palace must be built according to the specifications of the prince's palace. The princess's palace must also be built according to the specifications of the eldest princess. Don't be afraid of overstepping the rules.

Understand?"

Of course Wang Chengen understands that the Kaiping Palace, let alone the Kaiping Palace, is mainly because Chang Lan is still alive, that is the Kaiping Palace. Not to mention the existence of Zhu Xiongying, the standards of the Kaiping Palace will definitely not be downgraded in the future, even if Chang Mao inherits it.

It is the title of Duke of the country.

As for Zhu Xiongying's younger brother, he will definitely belong to the prince in the future, as long as Zhu ascends the throne. The princess's mansion is actually easy to understand. The current rules of the Ming Dynasty are that the princess marries and usually lives in the princess's mansion. The princess's mansion is the princess's private residence.

Industry can drive away the prince-in-law.

The imperial city cannot be built overnight, but the palace and the princess's palace need to be built a little faster.

Others may have only heard some news, and only heard that Zhu Xiongying valued his younger brothers and sisters. But Wang Chengen knew very well that this matter was a top priority for him. Whether there are locust trees in Meishan, there is no prince's palace or princess's palace.

Importantly, if there are locust trees in Meishan, they will be scolded at most. If the princess mansion is not built, then she will fall out of favor.

Which is more important, Wang Chengen naturally knows very well. What kind of character his master is, Wang Chengen knows even better.

While Zhu Xiongying was reading some reports, a young eunuch entered the palace quietly and whispered to Wang Chengen, "The Duke of Wei is outside the palace."

Wang Chengen did not dare to neglect, and quickly whispered to Zhu Xiongying, "Sir, Duke Wei is waiting outside the palace."

"In the future, when Duke Wei comes over, there will be no need to report." Zhu Xiongying glanced at Wang Chengen and said, "Be smart and know which people I trust and will be of great use."

Wang Chengen showed a flattering smile and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Master, I am stupid, how can I dare to guess what I am thinking."

It would be strange to say that Wang Chengen did not guess Zhu Xiongying's thoughts at all. But Wang Chengen has always been very careful around Zhu Xiongying. He knew that the emperor's grandson would not treat his servants harshly for trivial matters, but once he lost trust, he would

It's hard to get another chance to recover.

Xu Yungong is here. Xu Da's eldest son has really inherited some of Xu Da's character. Even though he seems to be close to Zhu Xiongying's care, Xu Yungong will never relax in etiquette and rules, and he will never be in the presence of the emperor, prince or

He acted immodestly in front of his grandson and was arrogant because of his favor.

"Back to Your Highness, the three guards of King Yan have been integrated." Xu Yungong said with a serious expression, "Although some generals are loyal to King Yan, more soldiers are loyal to the court."

Zhu Xiongying nodded. All the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty had military power. The military power in Zhu Di's hands was either too much or too little. The total number was less than 20,000 troops, which was not bad. Among the vassal kings, it was not

Neither too much nor too little.

As for loyalty, Zhu Di had been a vassal for less than ten years. There were indeed many people under his command who were relatively loyal to him, but more people were still loyal to the court. Zhu Xiongying did not need to worry too much about this.

Zhu Xiongying nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "Are there some people who can be of great use?"

Xu Yungong shook his head and told the truth, "From my observation, they are all mediocre people. However, most of Yan Wangwei are veterans, and they are not lacking in bravery."

This made Zhu Xiongying a little surprised. Zhu Di was able to successfully usurp the throne. In addition to Zhu Yunwen's series of tricks, and some unreliable soldiers of the Jianwen Dynasty, this was also because Zhu Di had a large number of elite soldiers and generals.

It seems that Zhang Fu, who was killed in the Civil War Incident of the Ming Dynasty, was Zhang Yu's son, and Zhang Yu was the hero of Jingnan's rise to prominence.

But this is normal. It is too difficult for these people to get ahead now. The main reason is that even though the Ming Dynasty has lost some of its founding generals, it does not lack some elite soldiers and generals. It is too difficult for people like Zhang Yu to get ahead.

Zhu Xiongying has no intention of looking for some of Zhu Di's "heroes". Whether he remembers it or not is the same thing. The most important thing is that Zhu Xiongying has no shortage of elite soldiers and generals. There is no need to think about some people who are not famous yet and have ordinary achievements.

Soldiers.

This is not Zhu Xiongying's joke. With Fu Youde, Wang Xu and other founding fathers and marquis in charge, Zhu Xiongying can still feel at ease. In addition, Xu Yungong's performance is also satisfactory. Although he still lacks some practical training, he is absolutely

It can be regarded as a material that can be made.

Zhang Yu, wait a minute, Zhu Xiongying doesn't have much thought to dig out and train those people. It's true that he has a lot of resources, but Zhu Xiongying needs to train more talents.

Zhu Xiongying asked a lot about military matters with a smile, and then said, "If you are allowed five thousand troops after spring, would you be willing to lead the army into Mobei?"

Xu Yungong was excited. He knew that the emperor's grandson was cultivating him, "I accept the decree, and I will live up to the emperor's kindness! I will live up to His Highness's treatment!"

Zhu Xiongying took out the tiger talisman with a smile and said, "I will entrust the three guards of King Yan to you. And train your troops well. By then, many people will be sent out. I hope you will gain more. Remember, capture more people and cattle.

Sheep, my Ming Dynasty is short of men, horses, cattle and sheep."

Xu Yungong was even happier. His Highness was willing to let him lead the troops for training. This was a kind of training and training. The emperor's grandson even stated the intention of this expedition, so Xu Yungong could make some targeted arrangements.

Compared to others, Xu Yungong believes that he has more reasons to achieve a satisfactory record. As long as this battle is fought well, there will definitely be no shortage of opportunities to continue to play in the future.

The sky is high and birds can fly, Xu Yungong and the others can get a lot of training opportunities, and Zhu Xiongying is not the same.

Although Lao Zhu and Da Zhu also told Zhu Xiongying something, the north is not suitable for big fights now, but there is no problem at all in small fights, which naturally means that Zhu Xiongying does not need to be polite.

Bei Yuan, we still have to fight when we should, and we must fight!
