Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Daming Gyeonggi,

West Garden of the Forbidden City.

Zhang Haogu told Zhu Youxiao about the changes on the grassland, and when he heard that Cao Wenzhao had pulled up 2 Mongolian cavalry on the grassland, Zhu Youxiao also laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, this is Cao Wenzhao, What a talent!"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "If it wasn't for his intention to control the number of people, there would be [-] to [-] herdsmen in Balian Nadu's department who are willing to serve as Ming soldiers, and they are all young and strong."

"Right now, he is training the Mongolian army according to the training method of the new army. In time, he will be able to pull up another [-] battalion from the Yongle period for me."

During the Yongle period, Chengzu's [-] battalion was not only [-] Mongolian cavalry, but also [-] to [-] Mongolian cavalry at its peak.

Now that Cao Wenzhao almost pulled out such a large cavalry for Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was also very surprised.

At the same time, thinking of a series of issues such as military expenses and equipment, Zhu Youxiao was also relieved. Fortunately, he didn't pull out so many cavalry, otherwise the court would really have to think about how to raise them.

"The magistrate of the Balanadu Special Economic Zone, has the cabinet found a suitable candidate?" Zhu Youxiao asked looking at the report.

Zhang Haogu said: "The cabinet is also looking for candidates recently."

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised: "Can't someone be selected from Datong Academy?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the students of Datong Academy must be given priority in resettling in the north, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Ganshan, Zhili, these places are settled, there are also southern Liaoning, there are Jiangnan, and The whole Southland."

"After such a resettlement, it will be very difficult to choose someone who is capable of serving as a magistrate."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, yes, there are not enough Datong students within the Great Wall, and it is not easy to send a group of Datong students outside the Great Wall.

Those who can serve as the magistrate of a prefecture are all talents, and it is not easy to squeeze out one.

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Does Master have any suitable candidates?"

Zhang Haogu pondered for a moment and said: "I really have a candidate. I originally planned to place him in Jiangnan, but now, I can let him go to Balian Nadu."

"Chen Yawan, the county magistrate of Andong County, also graduated from Datong Academy and started as a farmer. Now he is the county magistrate of Andong County. He got first-class in the two assessments. The cabinet is preparing to add more burdens to him. "

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then let him go to Balanadu. Since he is a talent, it can also be reflected in Balanadu. If he performs well in Balanadu, let him be a provincial governor when he comes back." Governor."

After finalizing the candidate, Zhang Haogu also specially called Chen Yawan to give some instructions.

Chen Yawan, like all Datong freshmen and generals of the new army, came out of poverty and was very young.

However, the 30-year-old Chen Yawan bowed respectfully after seeing Zhang Haogu: "The student has met the chief assistant."

Zhang Haogu smiled and asked Chen Yawan to sit down: "The imperial court decided to add more burdens to you."

Seeing that Chen Yawan didn't look too excited but remained calm, Zhang Haogu continued: "You must have heard about the fact that the imperial court sent General Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the Five Army Battalions, to march on the grassland."

Chen Yawan nodded: "The students know."

Zhang Haogu pushed the few papers that Cao Wenzhao handed over to the cabinet to Chen Yawan: "General Cao has now integrated a piece of grassland and two big tribes. Now this new big tribe has attached itself to the imperial court, so naturally it must be followed Follow the rules of the imperial court."

"Before, the imperial court had designated this grassland as a special economic zone, named Balian Nadu. It provided various supports and discounts, and also sent a group of students to distribute cattle and sheep pastures, and divided the herdsmen into one by one. The ranch is like a farm in the interior."

"But there are four to five million herdsmen in the thousands of miles of grassland, and there is always a need for someone in charge. The cabinet discussed it, and this cabinet also discussed with the emperor, and decided to let you be the magistrate."

Chen Yawan said: "Students understand that students will never disappoint the expectations of the emperor and the chief assistant."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Don't put too much pressure. After all, General Cao is there, and there are also my Ming soldiers. They are your backing. Outside the Great Wall, it is no different than in the interior. Be careful in everything, and everything is about your own safety. .”

"If you encounter any trouble, you can discuss it with General Cao. You are in charge of the government, and he is in charge of the army. You must ensure that the Balianna capital is the Balianna capital of the Ming Dynasty, not the Balianna capital of a certain tribal leader."

"These are all the information about General Cao about Baliannadu. You can read it on the way."

Chen Yawan took the pass and left. He went to the grassland this time and would go to Datong Pass. A batch of seeds and potatoes transported by the imperial court to the grassland were already waiting at Datong Pass, and Shanxi merchants who were authorized by the imperial court were also waiting at Datong Pass. The arrival of Chen Yawan.

Just waiting for Chen Yawan to arrive, this large convoy of imperial court and Shanxi merchants will set off for Balian Nadu.

A few days later, a long convoy, escorted by cavalry, arrived at the center of the present-day Balanadu Grassland.

There are still many herdsmen living here, forming a large settlement.

And Cao Wenzhao also trained recruits here, controlling the entire Baliannadu Grassland.

When Chen Yawan arrived, Cao Wenzhao checked the official seal, letter of appointment and household registration of the court, and invited Chen Yawan to the big tent: "Prefect Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I'm really going to have a big headache."

Listening to Cao Wenzhao's joke, Chen Yawan also said with a smile: "General Cao laid down this huge grassland after tens of thousands of people went out of the fortress. In the future, Chen will need a lot of help from General Cao in Balian Nadu."

Cao Wenzhao said: "To help each other, the chief assistant also said, you are in charge of the government, and I am in charge of the army. In the future, if the prefect Chen needs to use Cao, just say it."

Chen Yawan nodded, and said: "Then Chen is not polite. Speaking of which, General Cao is really needed right now."

Cao Wenzhao looked at Chen Yawan in surprise. He just arrived in Balianna, and he was ready to flex his muscles?
Chen Yawan explained: "The first assistant showed some of General Cao's papers to Chen, and now Chen knows everything about Nadu."

"In more cases, Chen must go to various pastures in the grassland to investigate and then draw conclusions, but General Cao also knows that this time Chen brought the imperial court's grain transportation convoy and the Shanxi merchant convoy, and the journey spanned The vast Gobi desert is full of dust."

"Therefore, Chen feels that, no matter what, it is always right to build the road from Balanadu to the Great Wall first."

Build the road!

Cao Wenzhao nodded. If Chen Yawan did not mess around, he also made an opinion based on his own experience.

"Building roads is a big deal."

Chen Yawan nodded and said: "That's exactly the case. The imperial court can't just fight against Mongolia, it must completely make the people of Mongolia become the people of my Ming Dynasty!"

Cao Wenzhao took a deep breath: "If such a feat can be achieved, even Cheng Zu will not be able to achieve it!"
