Chapter 172
Chapter 0172 Eight hundred years later, the eight corpse kings of the Silent Army Tomb have all had spiritual intelligence!!
Before leaving Hanzhong, Zhu Li wanted to determine the direction of the development of various units and enterprises in the next few months, set them an indicator, and wait for acceptance after returning from the Northern Expedition.
This time it may take more time to go than when attacking the Western Regions, and it will take half a year soon.
After all, it is easy to kill the tartar, and it takes time to establish a city in Mobei and completely rule this land!
Before the overall situation of Mobei has been decided, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Li, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave for a while!
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Li leaves, the development of Hanzhong Mansion cannot be relaxed, and when no one is watching, Zhu Li must first make a development plan for them!
When everything was ready, the time came the night before the expedition.
Soon to go north, Zhu Li naturally has to accompany Xu Miaojin this night!
It's just that in the middle of the night, Xu Miaojin really wanted Zhu Li to go to Chen Youzi's room
"It's already late at night, why run around again?"
Zhu Li asked a little speechlessly.
"After all, His Highness will go west tomorrow. Sister Chen may be a little unpleasant, but no matter how you say it, she is also a side concubine married back by His Highness, so she can't really ignore it, right? "
"Your Highness's departure may be a few months, after all, Sister Chen has only married into the Han King Mansion not long ago, Your Highness should care more!"
Xu Miaojin put on the posture of the main palace mother, and persuaded Zhu Li not to say, there was reason and evidence, and Zhu Li really couldn't refute it.
So Zhu Li could only patiently leave Xu Miaojin's room and came to Chen Youzi's courtyard next door!
For this side concubine, Zhu Li basically didn't have much effort to deal with it on weekdays, and if it wasn't for the meeting, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to remember that there was such a person.
The main thing is that Zhu Li is indeed too busy during this time, coupled with Chen Youzi's unpleasant personality, how can Zhu Li have the kung fu to put his mind on her?
Chen Youzi's side is tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She also knew that Zhu Li was going to go on a campaign tomorrow, and tonight she bathed and returned to her room early, just waiting for Zhu Li to come over!
However, left and right, the night was already deep, but there was no movement.
After spending the candle night in the cave room, Zhu Li never slept in the same bed with himself again, which made Chen Youzi feel very aggrieved!
Wouldn't he even want to take a look at him before he set out now?
Just when Chen Youzi was so aggrieved that he wanted to cover his head and cry, he suddenly heard movement outside!
When he saw Zhu Li coming in from outside, Chen Youzi's originally bitter face suddenly smiled!
"Your Highness, you finally remembered your concubine?"
Chen Youzi immediately got up and threw himself into Zhu Li's arms.
"Why are your eyes red?"
Zhu Li was stunned when he looked at Chen Youzi's eyes that were a little red, but soon seemed to understand something.
Although this girl has some pampered eldest lady temper, but it is not a matter of principle, she is also her own side concubine, it seems that she has not taken much care of her after entering the door, presumably she also feels wronged, right?
"Thinking that His Highness will go on a campaign tomorrow, no!"
Chen Youzi said coquettishly, and her hands tightly hugged Zhu Li's waist.
"You girl, it's not that King Ben won't come back. During this time, King Ben was a little busy and ignored you! Wait for King Ben to return, and I will definitely compensate you well!" "
Zhu Li sighed a little helplessly, and then gave Chen Youzi a promise!
"Concubine, thank you Your Highness!"
Chen Youzi was even more surprised.
"Okay, it's not early, the king of Ming Japan still has to go with his father and emperor, let's all rest early!"
Zhu Li patted Chen Youzi's shoulder and reminded softly.
"That concubine serves His Highness's wide robe!"
When Chen Youzi heard this, her beautiful eyes became more and more shining.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li's father and son were already ready to go, gathered an army of 30,000 outside Hanzhong Mansion, and prepared to march towards Xi'an Prefecture.
Hanzhong officials as well as Zhou Guifei, Xu Miaojin and Chen Youzi all came to see them off.
Watching Zhu Li's father and son get into the luxurious carriage and gradually drift away, the eyes of the three daughters are also reluctant.
They all knew that Zhu Li had not seen each other for at least a few months!
In the afternoon of the same day, the army arrived outside Xi'an Prefecture, but Zhu Yuanzhang had an order that the army could only be stationed outside the city and could not enter the city to disturb the local people.
So the 30,000-strong army was stationed outside Xi'an Prefecture for one night, until the next morning to continue the journey!
The cement road from Xi'an to Taiyuan has been completed.
This road was still built by Zhu and Zhu Li in cooperation to facilitate the transportation of coal dug up from Shanxi!
At the same time, cement roads were being built all over Shanxi, some with money from Zhu Hui and others from the imperial court.
No matter which party it is, now they also know the benefits of building cement roads, invest in the early stage, and the return you can receive in the later stage is infinite!
With such a good example from the Northwest Territory, whether it is the imperial court or the lords of various clans, they are unambiguous about such things as dry road construction!
The slogan of building roads first if you want to be rich has become popular throughout Daming!
From Xi'an to Taiyuan, it is almost all the way north, and you also need to cross the Yellow River in the middle.
But except for crossing the river, this road is almost all cement road, and the whole distance is about 500 kilometers!
According to the marching speed of all the cavalry of the Hanzhong Army, it will take about three days to reach Taiyuan Mansion!
Taiyuan Jin Royal Mansion.
Jin King Zhu Hui can be said to be full of spirit during this time, not for anything else, since pouring coal with Zhu Li, he has tasted the sweetness of muffled wealth Those industries that can make money in Hanzhong Mansion, as long as they can introduce cooperation, Zhu Hui has almost been wrapped up!
Today's Taiyuan Prefecture has also completely changed its atmosphere, although it is not as good as Xi'an Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture, but it also has the prototype of the early development of these two northwestern provinces!
Not only are the streets all replaced with cement roads, but even the rules in the city are the same as those in Xi'an, Hanzhong!
To put it bluntly, after Lao Jiu proofed him in the northwest, he could plagiarize it hard!
But even if it imitates the development steps of Zhu Li, the development of Taiyuan Prefecture still exceeds Zhu's expectations, whether it is fiscal revenue or the people's livelihood, I don't know how many times better than before!
After more than a year of cooperation, Zhu Tong can be regarded as convinced by his ninth brother!
Similarly, Zhu Hui also heard the rumor that the old man was likely to pass the throne to Lao Jiu, and with his cleverness, he could naturally judge the reason.
If it was before, the prince really wanted to die early, and he had to compete for the position of the prince.
But in the face of Lao Jiu, a guy who is seriously beyond the level, he really can't raise his fighting spirit at all!
He also figured it out, his third brother only needs to follow the back of Lao Jiu's ass, now such a good day, it is not easy to come by, and it is quite good to manage his own fiefdom!
When he received a letter from Zhu Yuanzhang, knowing that the old man was going to personally conquer Mobei and also count him, Zhu suddenly felt flattered!
Zhu Huan, who had already learned that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li were about to arrive in Taiyuan Mansion, led all the officials of Taiyuan to greet them outside the city on the day the army arrived in Taiyuan Mansion!
Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not like to disturb the people, so Zhu, in addition to these local officials and subordinate officials of the Han King Mansion, did not alarm any ordinary people at all, and soon, the luxurious carriage in which Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li were riding appeared in the sight of Zhu Ke and others.
As soon as he saw the old man who had not been seen for many years get down from the carriage, Zhu Huan, who was a son, was even more excited to tears!
"Children see the emperor of the father!"
Quickly approached Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ke directly rushed to see Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed down directly!
I just don't know if this excitement is real or feigned?
"Mistress, get up!"
"We father and son haven't seen each other for years, right?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Hui again, he obviously looked a little excited.
"Back to the father and emperor, the last time the son returned to Beijing, it was five years as a Hong warrior!"
Zhu Ke's voice trembled a little and nodded.
When Empress Ma died of illness, the kings of various clans returned to Beijing to mourn, and Zhu Hui never returned to Yingtianfu again!
Even if it was a New Year's holiday, Zhu Yuanzhang did not think of letting these sons outside come back.
After all, the lord of the clan needs to spend too much money to return to Beijing to mobilize the people!
"It's been more than ten years!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, and then realized that twelve years had passed!
"Third brother!"
Zhu Li arched his hand at Zhu Hui at this time!
"Ninth brother, when I saw you twelve years ago, you were just an underage brat, but now the third brother can't recognize it!"
Only then did Zhu Hui turn his gaze to Zhu Li and grinned.
Hong warrior five years, Zhu Li has not yet been in the domain, for this ninth brother, Zhu Hui has not met much, after all, he Hong warrior has been in the domain Taiyuan in one year, at that time Zhu Li was only seven or eight years old!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has many heirs, he basically has to be sealed out one by one!
There are more people who basically haven't seen each other very much!
It's like the smaller old seventeenth Ning King Zhu Quan, Zhu only met when he was still drinking milk, not to mention those princes after the old seventeenth!
"It's simple for the third brother to want to see the junior brother, as long as the junior brother is in Hanzhong, the third brother is welcome to come at any time!"
Zhu Li smiled and nodded.
"This..."
Zhu Hui was stunned when he heard this, and then his gaze turned directly to Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Li's words are a bit exaggerated!
The lord of the clan was not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, and Zhu Li actually let him go to Hanzhong Mansion when he was free, wasn't this a blatant violation of the rules of the imperial court?
However, Zhu Hui was stunned to find that the old man looked as usual after hearing this, and it seemed that he didn't even mean to be angry!
How many meanings does this mean?
"Lao Jiu is right, it's time to move around more in the future!"
"Some of the rules we set should also be changed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to see the surprise in Zhu Huan's eyes, and nodded directly with a smile, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhu Li's words!
The clan king is not allowed to leave the fief without an edict from the imperial court, it was feasible before, and it will definitely not be feasible in the future, and this rule has no foundation on its footing!
This question Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li have long discussed...
Especially after knowing Zhu Li's development plan, and the means of communication such as telephone, radio, etc. are about to be developed, is there any point in restricting the freedom of the lord?
Since there is no point, then why bother to engage in such a rule?
On the contrary, directly opening up exchanges between clan kings is more conducive to the economic development in the fiefdoms of various clan kings!
Just like Zhu Huan, Zhu Chun, they all have close business dealings with Lao Jiu, but people have never been to Hanzhong Mansion, nor have they ever met Lao Jiu in person, they all have contact through the people below!
But in fact, everyone below can get in touch, so what's the point of restricting these two clan kings?
Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang could really prohibit these clan kings from coming and going on weekdays?
As for the worry that these clan kings rebelled or had different intentions, they may have existed before, but as long as Lao Jiu's firearms are developed, then these problems are not a problem!
"That relationship is good, and the sons and daughters can also go to Hanzhong to see the father and the ninth brother!"
Zhu Hui was even more overjoyed when he heard this!
"Let's not talk about it for the time being, since we have arrived in your Taiyuan Mansion, let's go to the city!"
"The army is temporarily stationed outside the city!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Hui at this time.
So the group directly entered Taiyuan Mansion, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li did not take a luxurious carriage anymore, but rode slowly through the streets of Taiyuan Mansion, and both of them were also looking at the current Taiyuan Mansion!
On the whole, compared with Xi'an Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture can only be described by the words Hanxiang!
Everything is copied from Hanzhong Mansion, but the development speed is obviously very slow!
But even so, it is many times better than the original Taiyuan Mansion!
After the father and son entered the Jin Royal Mansion, Zhu Ke took out the set of royal porcelain that Zhu Li gave him last time and personally made tea for Zhu Yuanzhang!
You must know that this thing is not too much to say that it is a work of art, those wealthy gentry bought this kind of superb porcelain or something, it is impossible to really take it to make tea and drink, most of it is collected as a work of art!
Of course, there will also be some gentry who will take it out and use it when receiving distinguished guests!
Zhu is the same, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li coming today, this set of porcelain he usually wouldn't be willing to use!
After all, if you accidentally break it, then there will be no more!
This thing has no market!
"Father Emperor, you can taste it, this tea was specially sent by Lao Jiu last year, and the children were not very willing to drink it!"
Zhu Hui brought a cup of tea directly to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, and said with a smile
"Well, it's indeed the smell of Hanzhong Mansion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip and couldn't help nodding and laughing.
When Zhu Hui heard this, his heart moved, the old man could even drink the taste of Hanzhong Mansion, and said that the old man was reluctant to leave Hanzhong now, and it seemed that he was used to the life of Hanzhong Mansion!
I am afraid that in the future, the old man will only spend more time in Han 1.9 Zhongfu!
"Old Mistress, let's want to know how many cavalry you can mobilize in Taiyuan to march north this time?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished drinking the tea, he turned to Zhu Hui and asked.
"This... The cavalry of the children is not as good as the Hanzhong army of the ninth brother, but there are 50,000 for infantry, but only 8,000 for cavalry! "
When Zhu Hui heard this, he smiled bitterly with a look of embarrassment.
In fact, in this regard, it is really no wonder that Zhu Huan.
The main thing is that the Vara and Tatars like to provoke the Shanxi side to invade, and every year in order to deal with these Tatars, Zhu has to lose a lot of cavalry and war horses in his hands!
Cavalry is easy to find, but war horses are scarce!
He doesn't have the same ability as Zhu Li, nor is he as good at running as King Yan, so he can't get a large number of horses!
"Eight thousand cavalry, it's enough!"
"This time, you will take these eight thousand cavalry with us to march north!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was not too surprised, the pressure on the northern side of Shaanxi was the greatest!
Whether it is the northwest or the Beiping Province side, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the situation is much better than Zhu Huan's side, it is said that persimmons pick up soft pinches, and that son is also picking the weakest defensive Shanxi region to plunder!
When Zhu Hui heard this, he naturally agreed.
As long as you can follow Zhu Yuanzhang on his northern expedition, the rest is not important!
This rare opportunity, he naturally wants to grasp it!
Soon, Zhu Ke directly gathered the eight thousand cavalry under his command.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang saw these eight thousand cavalrymen, his face suddenly became strange!
This Taiyuan's cavalry armor stomach is a little chilly!
In fact, I don't blame Zhu Ke, the main thing is that after the old man has seen the luxurious equipment of the Hanzhong Army, and then compare these cavalry under Zhu Huan, he immediately has a sense of seeing the hillbilly!
No comparison, no harm!
