I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 318 I want to create a wonder of the Ming Dynasty!Comparable to the Great Wall!

Another year has passed.

Time, in the blink of an eye, came to the 27th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yunzhen is a little older.

He has become more and more like a teenager, and as Zhu Yunxuan grows older and is in good health, many courtiers have completely returned to his heart.

I have no other thoughts.

After all, a young emperor is much better than an immature emperor.

As long as Zhu Yunzhen is older, he can get married first to determine the hearts of the world.

After all, Zhu Yunxuan is now basically the confirmed future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Lao Zhu was defeated by him, and he was popular among the people. Who can compete with him?
But time is also a double-edged sword.

It can make young people grow up, but it can also make people grow old.

In the new year, Lao Zhu's body has declined a little. Zhu Yunxuan once went to Yangshan to visit him. Lao Zhu's body is indeed better than when he first met Hongwu in 25 years.

Much worse.

Lao Zhu fought on the battlefield and suffered many illnesses.

After getting old, my body and bones are indeed getting worse day by day.

I often get sick.

But thanks to the careful care of many imperial doctors, Lao Zhu's body was able to stabilize.

But it was just barely stable.

There is nothing he can do about his natural old age. Even Zhu Yunzhen has no choice but to spend as much time as possible to accompany Lao Zhu.

Except for the changes in people.

In the new year, Daming's goals have also changed.

Last year's Ming Dynasty, its goal was land reform.

This year's Ming Dynasty still has to complete land reform, but the overall situation of land reform has been decided.

Zhu Yunxuan then set his sights on another matter.

He wants to build a wonder that belongs to the Ming Dynasty!

A magnificent project comparable to the Great Wall - Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!
Traversing the north and south, you can take an avenue in Jinling that leads directly to the north of the Yangtze River. Crossing the nearly 5000-meter Yangtze River waterway, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River on the Yangtze River!
At the same time, it can save countless manpower and material resources and facilitate north-south travel.

Increase exchanges between North and South.

For thousands of years in China, there have been very few cultural and economic exchanges between the north and the south. A large part of the reason is because of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.

These thousands of meters of natural danger along the Yangtze River have blocked too many people from thinking about going north or south!
And Zhu Yunzhen wanted to make the Ming Dynasty no longer have natural dangers on the Yangtze River, so that the land of China could be completely integrated into a whole!
Fengtian Temple.

morning meeting.

When Zhu Yunxuan raised the matter.

However, there was no recognition as expected, but instead many obstacles were encountered.

Ministers from the DPRK and China stood up to oppose it.

Moreover, the fierce opposition made Zhu Yunxuan very confused, and even a little angry. He looked down at the ministers with a livid face.

I want to hear the reason for their obstruction.

"Your Highness, this must not be done!" Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and admonished: "Now the court is empty and the manpower is insufficient. Although the treasury is sufficient, there is no one to use it, and the money cannot be used in any practical way."

"And now that the land reform has not been completed, manpower from all over the Ming Dynasty has been used to build national highways."

"Manpower is in short supply. Building the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge at this time is really a risky strategy!"

Xia Yuanji said slowly: "I understand your Highness's intentions."

"Building this bridge also has endless benefits, but building it now will do a lot of harm to the Ming Dynasty without any benefit!"

Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, can be said to be Zhu Yunxu's confidant.

He was the one who single-handedly promoted it.

But now even his confidants are trying to dissuade him, and Zhu Yunzhen can't help but start to wonder if he is wrong.

And just after Xia Yuanji finished speaking.

Lan Yu stood up again and said: "Your Highness, the Yangtze River is a natural barrier!" "Building this bridge has certainly facilitated transportation, but since then, the Yangtze River has lost its natural barrier."

"The northern cavalry can march directly to the south of the Yangtze River!"

"The troops are pointing directly to the south of the Yangtze River, to the capital! What's going on? Let me tell you, it's better to use the money on the navy!"

"Using the navy to facilitate transportation, we can also control the natural dangers of the Yangtze River."

"Become the barrier of the Ming Dynasty's capital!"

There is some truth in what Lan Yu said. If the money for bridge repair is spent on the navy, a good navy can definitely be developed.

But Zhu Yunzhen just shook his head.

Even if the navy is developed, how long can it last?
Moreover, developing a naval force will consume manpower for a long time.

Part of Zhu Yunxun's purpose in building the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge was to save manpower!There is no need for a dedicated person to be responsible for the natural danger of crossing the Yangtze River, which is a waste of manpower.

Moreover, the navy is composed of people and objects.

If one side loses, all lose.

However, the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge is purely a real object, and there is no problem of dilapidation.

As long as the construction is completed, it will last for countless years!

Even after walking through the entire Ming Dynasty, this bridge may still be there!

This is undoubtedly something that will benefit the present generation and benefit the future.

In Zhu Yunzhen's eyes, this is a very cost-effective business!
It's just that everyone's opposition is not completely unreasonable. The lack of manpower and the lack of officials in the DPRK mentioned by Xia Yuanji are real problems.

Zhu Yunxuan is now trying to push forward the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge project.

We can only stay in the plan.

There is no way to enter the actual construction phase.

As for what Lan Yu said, Zhu Yunzhen was not that worried. As long as he continued to develop the Ming Dynasty's new army, what if he lost the natural protection of the Yangtze River?
Things that don't matter at all.

The Ming Dynasty’s growing national power is the real natural danger of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxuan made a decision in his mind.

He said: "Okay, don't try to persuade me any more."

"I have decided that the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge must be built! It must be constructed no later than the end of this year!"

As soon as this word comes out.

The ministers below were worried.

But after that, Zhu Yunzhen said: "But."

"In view of the current emptiness in the court, this matter will be officially implemented after the imperial examinations are completed this year."

"Also after the Ming Dynasty organized its army!"

Zhu Yunxuan had already begun to prepare to attack the Ming army.

On the one hand, it continued to improve the combat effectiveness and weapon advantages of the Ming army, and on the other hand, it began to reduce the army.

Let these freed troops that Ming Dynasty does not need become Ming Dynasty's reserve manpower.

Free up more productivity!
Can be used to build bridges!

It's just that the methods and methods need to be discussed, otherwise it will easily lead to mutiny.

Then it will cause a lot of trouble again.

Zhu Yunxuan now only hopes that Ming Dynasty will remain stable and develop like this for a few years to accumulate national strength.

After the national strength is strong.

Just now it has the potential to swallow up all nations!
It should be noted that it was Qin Shihuang who unified the world and destroyed the six kingdoms.

It is also due to the accumulation of ancestors.

This is the so-called "remaining heroes of the sixth generation, vigorously develop their strategies and drive out the inner world"!
Zhu Yunzhen was not too anxious when he heard that.

Many courtiers felt a little relieved, after all, so many ministers had been killed.

I am already too busy with everything I have to do.

How to take care of other things?
It's just the complaints in the hearts of the ministers, but they don't dare to show it at all. After all, the person sitting on it is the source of the murder of many ministers!
The center of power in the Ming Dynasty!
