The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

This routine of missing soldiers was naturally taught by Zhu Ying.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, it can be said that the comprehensive national strength in the true sense is number one in the world.

At the beginning of the Western Renaissance, no country could compete with the strength of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, for the world, Da Ming's current deterrence is mainly in the surrounding areas centered on Da Ming.

Other countries only vaguely know that in the east of Yaoyuan, there is an extremely powerful kingdom of heaven.

But specifically, no one can say why.

That's why Zhancheng was so surprised when he saw the great Ming treasure ship.

The Daming Navy, which ran through almost the entire 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, has never lost a single defeat.

In terms of the number and scale of the fleet, they are the most invincible existence.

It’s just that looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the navy did not say how much profit it brought to the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it only wanted to protect the country, so the previous kings never thought about developing anything in the sea.

But now, Zhu Ying naturally wouldn't say that such a powerful naval force was wasted.

The situation of Zhancheng was quickly sent to the capital through a summons.

Inside the canopy hall.

Zhu Ying looked at the intelligence statistics below with ease. Although he is the crown prince, except for the working hours set by himself every day, he rests all the rest of the time.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't plan to take care of it.

But if you are idle, you are idle, so let's discuss some government affairs and arrangements together.

In fact, like many old people, Zhu Yuanzhang would feel extremely bored if he had nothing to do every day.

If it was the prince of another dynasty, he would feel that the emperor had come to fight for power with him again, but Zhu Ying didn't think about these things, it was like handing in homework, let the old man talk about big and small matters.

"Dasun, it seems that the situation of Zhancheng can basically be determined, but if a naval garrison is built, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as promised."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang really had no interest in such a small place as Champa.

From the map alone, even Ryukyu, where he exiled prisoners, can't compare.

As for beating it down, it is completely unnecessary.

Not to mention wasting military power and salary, there is nothing to please.

It can be seen in detail from the information that the taxes of Champa and other countries are quite sloppy. It is not only extremely troublesome but also many hidden dangers to be included in the ruling territory of Ming Dynasty.

After all, there are mainly occupying people. If you want to truly occupy, you have to migrate a large number of people.

Although Champa Rice is used a lot in Daming, such a small place cannot afford to support too many people.

At present, the population of Champa is extremely small, and a large number of maritime merchants have been bred, and the local agricultural economy is in a mess.

"Grandpa, don't worry, King Zhan will definitely agree. At present, Champa relies on maritime merchants to provide taxes to barely maintain the operation of the entire country. We will definitely not refuse our proposal to station a navy."

"For Zhancheng, this is actually a good thing. With Daming stationed, maritime merchants will naturally feel more at ease when they start doing business."

"The market of the whole sea trade will become more peaceful."

"As for the merchants of my Ming Dynasty, after they arrive in Champa, they can also sell my products of Ming Dynasty better."

"Of course, the most important thing is that my Daming Navy Division will naturally be responsible for collecting part of the tax at sea, as the military salary for the station."

Zhu Ying said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Dasun, and asked after a while: "Zhancheng is not worth your plan. This is just a pilot project. You want to spread our Daming navy all the way along HNA."

"There are quite a lot of small countries in Nanyang, and Champa is not bad in it. Then you have to establish naval bases in all the places along the seaside."

"Cooperate with Dasun's maritime trade, and let other countries raise water masters for you by collecting taxes from the sea."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled wryly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Grandpa."

"That's right, there is such an idea in my grandson's heart."

"Nowadays, my Ming Dynasty is a noble country, but some places are extremely remote and difficult to control. It is said that it is a tribute, but it is actually a reward from my Ming Dynasty to stabilize the frontier."

"In this way, although I have influence in Ming Dynasty, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local people don't take it seriously at all."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I, Ming, have no military threat to him."

"If there is a threat from the Navy, it will be completely different. As far as the sea is concerned, our Ming Navy is invincible."

"It's meaningless to waste such a powerful military force for nothing. It's better to send them all out to strengthen the entire navy and get more income. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

"The income from sea trade is not too much for my Ming Dynasty at present, but in terms of taxation, it is relatively stable. It will not take long. When sea trade is fully prosperous, it must be extremely important for the treasury to pay taxes. A block."

In fact, at this point, it can be regarded as touching the blind spot of Zhu Yuanzhang's knowledge.

Perhaps it was because he was overwhelmed by these trivial matters in the country. Above the navy, he was relatively free and hadn't thought about any major arrangements.

Even Zhu Di behind, although Zheng He's voyage to the West, the first purpose was not to open up trade routes, but to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

There are different opinions in the unofficial history, and what is said to find Zhu Yunqi, these are of course mostly nonsense.

Zhu Di just wanted to make greater achievements for his father, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang saw.

I am the most suitable candidate to be the emperor.

In the final analysis, it was because of the trouble caused by the hat of usurping the throne that Zhu Di conquered Mongolia six times, compiled the Yongle Canon, and Zheng He's voyages to the West.

This is to prove that under his leadership, Daming has become more and more prosperous.

Zhu Ying's thinking here is relatively simple and clear.

First of all, the current situation of the navy is very good, so it must be used. The easiest way is to be stationed.

For Daming, the stationing of naval divisions is equivalent to setting up strong military protection on all coastal routes. The current coastal countries are nominally vassal states of Daming, so it is difficult and impossible to refuse such a request.

Especially after seeing the treasure ship as high as a city wall, how can any soldier have the courage to fight against it.

Although Daming is considered prosperous in terms of dynasty, but from Zhu Ying's point of view, it is still poor.

In addition to basically solving the problem of eating, the lives of most people have not been improved.

This is also impossible.

Regardless of the continuous upward trend of the market economy, most of the money basically falls into the pockets of the rich, not into the pockets of the common people.

Only the development of industry, because of the demand for a large amount of labor, has led to many people having an additional industry to eat.

It can be said that it is not easy for Zhu Ying to achieve this within three years.

In the case of vigorously suppressing land sales, since the landlord and gentry class is the backbone of Daming's current society, it is easier for them to grasp greater power and money in the current rapid development.

In terms of personal connections alone, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There is no objection to the topic of opening people's wisdom.

Because of simple learning, or reading and literacy, the nobles find that they serve themselves better instead of shaking the foundation of their own interests.

Nowadays, it can be said that the schools in the entire Ming Dynasty are under construction every day.

For example, in the prosperous Jiangnan area, some wealthy lords made donations under the call of the government, and a large number of schools were built.

At present, according to Zhu Yingtong's decree spread throughout the country, anyone who meets the age requirements must go to a school under the name of the government.

According to some rich lords.

"Those ordinary people, after reading a few books and knowing a few words, can they turn themselves into masters?"

"The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. There are only a few students in a year, let alone a person, even a scholar. How many can pass the exam."

"Only the child's trial level, [-] to [-]% have been cleared."

"Literacy is good. If you know a little bit of knowledge, you can do things much more transparently. There are not so many idiots to bother you."

Ten years of studying hard, how can it be compared to passing on from generation to generation.

In the past, I was afraid, so I opposed it.

When the incident happened, these landlords and nobles found that it was not as troublesome as they imagined.

Even if all the people from ten miles and eight villages are studying, there are still a few of them who can be admitted as scholars and make a fortune.

And now that there are more scholars, it is naturally not so valuable.

Coupled with the current reforms, even the selection of scholars and candidates, in terms of status, is not as high as before.

For the land property alone, the distribution has been cancelled, and employment and rewards have been arranged instead.

In terms of employment, it is not possible to be a county magistrate from the beginning, but to start as an official, and there is a chance of promotion after two years of assessment.

Under Zhu Ying's continuous reform, such a thing as reaching the sky in one step is already very difficult to happen.

Even if it is Zhan Hui, the official minister today, no matter how optimistic he is about a person who wants to be promoted, he still has to follow the official promotion process.

Those who have not been in office for a short period of time and whose achievements are not enough are not to say that they can do whatever they want.

Including Zhu Ying herself now, even if she has the final right to interpret, she would not say that she is optimistic about a person, just give him a position, or promote him by leapfrogging.

This has a great regulating effect on the atmosphere of the entire officialdom.

At least it is more difficult for pure flattery to rise to the top.

For the development of future careers, grassroots officials, even if they want to show off, they have to make some achievements, otherwise there is no possibility of going up.

It's easy to say just to act like this, but for the current Daming, it's already considered good news for the common people.

In most places, they don't even bother to look, and the whole sky is dark.

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he was more cognizant of Dasun's desire to enhance and radiate Ming's influence.

He is also extremely satisfied with the current development of Daming.

When I was bored, I would go to the major military camps to see the current situation of the soldiers' drills, and I would always smile when I saw the orderly and solemn army.

However, just when everything is going smoothly.

A piece of news that came back from Japan made Zhu Yuanzhang furious.

Zhu Ying happened to be in the Gunpowder Department that day, checking the latest modification of the matchlock gun.

The production of flintlock guns has also been put on the agenda according to the current level.

If the flintlock gun can be researched, then the entire Ming army will be completely improved by a latitude in terms of individual combat capabilities.

However, flintlock guns are easy to say, but it is not difficult to actually manufacture them. The difficulty is stability.

This involves extremely precise structures.

Nowadays, some skilled craftsmen can make relatively stable flintlock guns, but the cost is too high, almost all of them are hand-grinded, and they can't reach the nod of the gun.

From a comprehensive consideration, it is not as good as the flintlock gun that is now a mature industry.

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured. Skilled craftsmen from all over the country have been summoned here to start thinking about the flintlock gun. I believe that it will not take too long to reach the preliminary production."

In the Gunpowder Department, Zhao Xiangxi said seriously.

Although Zhao Xiangxi now has the title of grandson and side concubine, he has not lived in Kunning Palace for a long time, and is still in charge of the production control of the entire gunpowder department, as well as the research of flintlock guns.

On this point, although some people secretly complained, Zhu Ying never cared about these remarks.

It is said that a woman who has no talent is a virtue. Zhu Ying has never practiced these words.

Can get things done, both men and women.

Besides, Zhao Xiangxi is now on his own, and Zhu Ying is really worried that such an important place as the Gunpowder Department will be handed over to those eunuchs who are not very knowledgeable.

As for this technical leak, it doesn't make much sense.

A complete industrial system does not mean that one or two people can completely imitate it. The manpower, material and financial resources required here are a huge number.

With regard to firearms, Zhu Ying followed some regulations of her previous life, but any imitation or other forms of private fabrication found among the people is a felony.

The development of firearms to the present, even if it is equipped on a large scale in the army, is still very strange to the common people.

"There is no need to worry too much about the flintlock gun. There is more time. The main thing is to improve our current smelting level to produce better refined iron and steel."

"For the mine, excavation has already begun in many places, and the palace has also sent orders to sea merchants to make more purchases to lay the foundation for future production."

Zhao Xiangxi nodded and said, "I understand."

At this time, a eunuch from the palace hurried over: "Your Highness, His Majesty has an order to call His Highness back to the palace."

Zhu Ying frowned.

Generally speaking, the old man would not invite himself back like this, there must be something wrong.

Asked: "Do you know what it is?"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "I don't know, I heard that something happened to the Japanese country."
