Chapter 1575 I Am Going to Jiangnan (Happy New Year Everyone)
"Pfft." Shen Long, who was reading the memorial, suddenly laughed. He saw another memorial supporting the court's development of Dayuan Island, and then thought of a joke for later generations, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why are you laughing, Your Majesty?" Cao Huachun teased, he is now the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies, and is also qualified to approve the memorial, but Shen Long has always held this power in his own hands, so he can only stand by Served.
"I remembered a joke. It is said that the prison and the school in a certain county need to be repaired at the same time, but the money in the treasury is only enough to repair the same, and then the clerks of the county get together to discuss and see which one should be repaired first; At the beginning, everyone wanted to study in the school first, but suddenly a clerk said, our children can go to private schools to study, but we don't need the school, but the new adults don't rub the sand in their eyes, maybe we will go to the school that day. You have to go to prison! Now, all the scribes agree to use the money to build prisons." Shen Long told this joke of later generations in a different way.
"Your Majesty is saying that these ministers support the imperial court to reclaim Dayuan Island, but they have the same idea as these scribes?" Cao Huachun understood immediately. No wonder His Majesty laughed. This joke is really interesting.
"Yeah, if that wasn't the case, why would they be sad about this?" Shen Long sneered in his heart, because he was frightened by his previous methods, fearing that he would also be scolded by tens of thousands of folks, so he prepared a way out for himself in advance Ah, but that's good too. If the imperial court wants to continue to colonize overseas in the future, they won't worry about their opposition!
After all, who can guarantee that they will not encounter the same fate as Chen Shilang and Jiang Master? At that time, the newly established overseas colonies will become the only chance for him and his family to turn around.
"What happened to Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao?" Shen Long asked about the construction of the East China Sea Fleet.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the two chief soldiers, Yu and Zheng, immediately began to recruit soldiers after they took office, and then began to train according to His Majesty's instructions; Governor Sun also began to direct craftsmen to build ships according to the drawings, and set up a maritime school in Denglai to teach sailing exercises. With the art of sailing, His Majesty’s East China Sea Fleet will definitely be completed on schedule!” Cao Huachun quickly reported that the East China Sea Fleet is the focus of Shen Long’s attention, but he will carefully record any news and respond to Shen Long’s inquiries at any time.
Denglai and Dongjiang Town face each other across the sea. There are quite a few people who fled from Liaodong and lived in Denglai. In the original history, because these people had no food and clothing, they had huge conflicts with the local people, which was the result of Kong Youde's betrayal. The foreshadowing was laid; now Shen Long is here to recruit soldiers and open shipyards, absorbing many young and strong Liao people, effectively resolving this contradiction.
This is also killing two birds with one stone. Denglai was originally suitable for building a naval base, and now it has solved the survival problem of the fleeing Liao people. In addition, when the fleet is completed in the future, these people will support the navy to go north to crusade Jiannu with the idea of returning to their hometown.
"If you need the support of the imperial court, you must report it in time; also, if anyone dares to reach out to the shipyard and the East China Sea Fleet, you will chop off their claws!" I finally ransacked my home and collected the money for the East China Sea Anyone who dares to embezzle the construction of the fleet and Denglai Shipyard will die! Dayuan Island is short of people.
"Your servant complies with the order, and my servant has been watching these places for a long time!" Cao Huachun is still in charge of Dongchang, and this matter is also within his authority.
"How is Governor Sun?" Shen Longyou asked, and now he was still a little worried about the situation in Liaodong.
"Now Zu Dashou and others dare not neglect for a moment in order to atone for their sins. Even if they can't completely eliminate Jiannu, they will make Jiannu unable to go south at all with Mao Shuai on both sides!" Cao Huachun added after finishing speaking , "Lin Dan Khan is back again. Now the grassland ministries have begun to abandon Jian Nu and return to Lin Dan Khan's command. Now Lin Dan Khan is rectifying his troops and preparing to avenge Jian Nu! This is the news brought by Commander Lu.
"
"Not bad, if Dongchang can work together with Jinyiwei, it would be great!" These two departments are similar in nature, there are competitions and conflicts, each should make plans for their own departments, but they should not delay the country. It's a big deal, Shen Long was very satisfied to see that Cao Huachun was able to understand this and did not cover up Lu Wenzhao's achievements.
"What about the Northwest?" Now Shen Long is most concerned about these two places. After all, the original Daming fell under the attack of the Northwest refugees and Jiannu. The refugees would make trouble, and when the refugees were in trouble, Jiannu would start to attack. Such a two-axe felling, the big tree of Ming Dynasty finally couldn't hold on.
"Army in various places followed His Majesty's teachings and started planting sweet potatoes and other things according to the method taught by Mr. Xu's disciples. Now they have harvested, and the people everywhere have begun to follow suit. Coupled with the relief from the imperial court, although the people suffered heavy disasters, it is not difficult. It’s not impossible to survive!” Cao Huachun continued to report, “A small number of refugees caused rebellion, and it was also solved by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui.”
"It's not in vain for me to promote him this time." Shen Long nodded slowly after hearing this. Hong Chengchou's character is questionable, but he still has abilities. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not have endured the cuckold and used him.
"Is there anything else?" Shen Long continued to ask.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Since the shops in Beijing were confiscated, those Shanxi merchants have stopped, and the slaves have not been able to find any more evidence for them!" Cao Huachun immediately knelt down to plead guilty. He was asked to investigate the evidence of Shanxi merchants colluding with slavery, but he was too busy with work before, and officials from the DPRK and China tipped off the news, so Cao Huachun has not found much information so far.
"These people are clever!" Shen Long sneered, "But they can't hold back for too long! When I go to the south of the Yangtze River, they will probably reappear, and it won't be too late to deal with them!"
Daming is now full of places where money is used, and the accumulation of the previous house raids can't last long, but as long as these collaborating and traitorous Shanxi merchants are captured and their wealth accumulated over the years is brought back to the treasury, then Daming can survive for a few days Moisturized day.
So in the morning court the next day, Shen Long mentioned his plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River, "It is the long-cherished wish of my ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty to find the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom. I paid homage before, but Taizu's mausoleum is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so I haven't gone to sacrifice in person; now that the government is calm, I plan to go to Jiangnan to worship Taizu, what do you love?"
These words are deeply filial, and there is no way for the officials to refute.
