Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 761 The emperor built the Yili Straight Road and the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang disputed over the island.

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he stopped talking. If you let others work, you must respect other people's labor. Since the imperial city has been handed over to the two imperial concubines, as long as there is no serious problem, let them go.

Zhu Qiyu was also not interested in the management of the imperial city. After several rounds of mutinies and coups, most of the eunuchs were almost eliminated.

What Zhu Qiyu cares about are the warehouses and book collections in the imperial city, and the rest doesn't matter.

Qianxue added: "Recently, the Ministry of Industry has recruited another three thousand craftsmen, saying it will increase the scale of firearms manufacturing. Shanglinyuan Prison has built several new halls in the outer city to provide meals for the craftsmen.

Some affairs that originally belonged to Guanglu Temple were replaced by the supervisor of Shanglinyuan. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "In other words, Shanglinyuan Supervisor and Guanglu Temple are fighting in the ring. There is no problem. Competition is a good thing.

There are many things to laugh about in the capital: the tea soup from Guanglu Temple, the prescriptions from the Taiyuan Hospital, the optimistic prayers, the swords and guns from the Arsenal Department, the workshop of the Repair Department, the food and clothing from the Almshouse, the wives from the Jiaofang Department, and the Metropolitan Inspectorate. The Constitution, the Imperial Academy's schools, and the Hanlin Academy's articles.

The food cooked by Guanglu Temple is famous for being unpalatable.

Therefore, I have to promote the supervision of Shanglinyuan to compete with it. This is my original intention of assigning supervision of Shanglinyuan to Jingzhaoyin.

There are more and more craftsmen in the capital, and there must be a strong organization to ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these craftsmen. In the future, I will expand the powers of the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor as appropriate. "

Qianxue asked again: "The Ministry of Rites reported that the envoys from Hami paid tribute and donated horses and camels. The remaining jade was 1,200 kilograms, and the envoys begged to sell it themselves."

"Twelve hundred kilograms of jade? Hami is rich in jade, right?"

"Those jade stones are green and colorful, and they are quite beautiful. We want to buy them all and fill the fish pond in the flower house with jade stones to make a colorful fish pond."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, okay, you are becoming more and more sentimental."

Ningxiang asked from the side: "Will my husband beat Hami down?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Forget it about Hami. It's a small place and there aren't many people there. Why beat him? I can't beat all the surrounding countries. If I beat them all, no one will come to pay tribute."

As a powerful empire, after all, it still needs all nations to come to court.

I want to imitate Qin Shihuang and carry out a major project to build a straight road from Ganzhou, through Hami and Turpan, and along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains into Ili.

This was both the Silk Road and a strategic route for delivering troops, money and food.

Let future generations rely on this straight road to navigate the Western Regions in the future. "

"With such a huge project, won't the people have to suffer again?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I, the great emperor of tomorrow, are a bit reactionary and backward. I want to start slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate."

"Slave trade?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The reaction is a little more reactionary, but I am also rescuing them. They were bought by others and their lives were even worse. As long as they dedicate thirty years to the Ming Dynasty, I will let them regain their freedom."

"Then, let them stay and live in Ming Dynasty?"

"How can that be done? Unless they are particularly powerful craftsmen, most people can just send them to Tianzhu to drink water from the Ganges River.

Having mentioned this, my Buddhist reform has been going on for so long. Have any monks applied to go to Tianzhu to serve the Buddha? "

Qianxue and Su Xi shook their heads together.

Two identical little ladies, using exactly the same movements, shaking their little heads rhythmically, looked quite amazing.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Xue'er, Xi'er, have you two sisters ever seen that bastard shaking his head?"

Qianxue and Su Xi were slightly stunned by this sudden question, and then continued to shake their heads in response.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "But I have seen it before my husband."

Only then did the two women react, and they pounced on each other, one on the left and the other on the right, and started tearing each other apart. Zhu Qiyu was cleaned up until his clothes were in tatters and his body was covered with lip marks. The two women just gave up and continued to answer questions: "No monks from the Ming Dynasty applied to go to Tianzhu.

Okay, who would be crazy to serve Buddha?

It is said that Tianzhu was invaded by foreigners and Buddhism was destroyed.

Buddha can't even look down on his own home. Isn't this a big joke?

The monks of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid either. They all know that their husbands have grasped their weaknesses and are frantically burying them and ridiculing them. "

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and said, "Can you blame me? The Buddha even had his own home taken away. The faithful men and women of the Ming Dynasty were still kowtowing in the temple, talking about asking the Buddha to appear and save the suffering.

The Buddha didn't even care about the invaders in his hometown, but would he care about the alien believers thousands of miles away? It's so stupid and ridiculous.

I thought the monks of the Ming Dynasty would argue with me and ask Master Xuanzang to seek Buddhist scriptures from the West. "

……

On February , the dragon looked up.

In Fujian, in the governor's office, the governor Nian Fu, the governor of Zhejiang Xuan Shi, and the governor of Fujian Xue Xilian got together and had a huge quarrel.

Opposite Fujian and across the sea is "Xiao Liuqiu". For such a big island, the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

From the time he took office to the present, Nian Fu has been busy restraining local tyrants and improving people's livelihood, and has not paid attention to "Xiao Liuqiu".

Moreover, the emperor, who had always had far-reaching plans and was obsessed with opening up new territories, never gave any hints.

However, after Xue Xilian, the governor of Fujian, returned from Japan with his navy, he seemed possessed by a maniac and insisted on capturing "Little Liuqiu".

Moreover, according to Xue Xilian, ‘Little Liuqiu’ has nothing to do with Ryukyu. The previous Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers, except for Taizong, had no interest in exploring overseas. The ministers relied on speculation and called the big island opposite Fujian "Xiao Liuqiu".

The dispute between Nian Fu and Xue Xilian was that Nian Fu wanted to carry out reforms first, while Xue Xilian wanted to attack Xiaoliuqiu.

Nian Fu persuaded with sincerity: "Old Minister Zhou was sent to Nanjing by the Holy Emperor to preside over reforms. It is said to be reform, but in fact it is reform.

Zhou Laoshangshu’s original intention was to implement reforms in southern Zhili and Zhejiang. I wanted to add Fujian to the list and implement reforms in Zhejiang and Fujian at the same time.

In this way, we can go ahead of other provinces.

Think about it, Shandong is also undergoing reforms. If it weren't for the constant floods in the past two years, Shandong would have left us behind.

Shanxi has also been undergoing reforms for a long time. We must make political achievements as soon as possible in order to be worthy of the Holy Spirit's trust. "

Xue Xilian retorted: "The mission given to us by the Holy Emperor is to lift the maritime ban and improve overseas trade. We have to take down 'Little Liuqiu' and Luzon Island.

Firstly, it can protect trade routes; secondly, it can increase the number of ports under Fujian's jurisdiction.

Thirdly, it can increase the cultivated land and farmland in Fujian.

Especially the third point, Fujian is very mountainous and originally has very little farmland.

If Xiaoliuqiu and Luzon are captured, the farmland will be greatly increased, which will be much faster than the reform. "

Just as Nian Fu was about to refute, Xue Xilian added: "And the so-called 'Little Liuqiu' across from Fujian has been given a name by the Holy One and is called Taiwan Island.

Although the Holy One didn't say anything, he paid close attention to it.

Moreover, the Ryukyu Kingdom can also be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty. The Holy Sage said that Ryukyu can be used as a prefecture and assigned to Zhejiang. "
