Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 81
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu became a general, led an army of 15, and launched an ambush war thousands of miles away from the north, annihilating the army of the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop, and captured thousands of civil and military soldiers. official.

But Lan Yu was too arrogant. After defeating Bei Yuan, he saw a beautiful woman and served one of Bei Yuan's concubines.
According to what he said, I worked hard to capture Beiyuan, shed blood for the Ming Dynasty, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t it because of a woman?so what?

But in this case, Lan Yu was appointed as Liang Guogong by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Tuo didn't have much feelings for Lan Yu, but he also knew that the Lan Yu incident involved many officials and generals, involving more than 5000 people.

Killing is like hemp.

In the history of Ming Dynasty, there were even several faults among generals.

Later, during the Jingnan War, he and his nephews had internal strife, which plunged the whole world into chaos.

When the Mongols saw this scene, they also wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty to cause trouble. Fortunately, Zhu Di personally sent troops to Mongolia and quelled the rebellion.

It has to be said that the turmoil in the early days of the Ming Dynasty greatly damaged the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Tuo shook his head and got rid of the troubles in his mind. As soon as he entered the door, Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong gathered around him and asked with concern: "Master, you were brought into the palace by the imperial army. Did the emperor beat you?" is you?"

"Why did my father beat me? I'm fine!"

Zhu Tuo snorted coldly, glanced at them, and said, "Why are you here again?"

Yang Rong said quickly: "It was my master who beat up some supervisors. Seeing that the situation was not good, my junior sister and I escaped again when the supervisors did not notice."

Shi Jingtong said in agreement: "Yes, master, when you do it, why don't you tell him in advance, so that we can alienate him."

Hearing this, Zhu Tuo cursed with hatred: "The people I taught have no martial arts skills at all. I went on a killing spree in the Imperial College, and you just watched the fun. You are simply embarrassing me!"

Yang Rong and Shi Jingtong both lowered their heads in shame.

They never expected that their master would dare to hit even a great scholar.

Who is Huang Zicheng? He is the master of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunzhi. Anyone who sees him must be respectful, let alone take action against him, let alone Huang Zicheng.

Zhu Tuo immediately ordered: "Lu Qing, starting from tomorrow, you will be responsible for training these two people and train them for an hour.

Yang Rong said blankly: "Master, my junior sister and I are both scholars.

"What about scholars?" Zhu Tuo called out, "If you don't know martial arts, how can you work under me? When I fight with people, you will only stand on the side and applaud?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go to class tomorrow."

Since Zhu Tuo invented "water-washed coal", the imperial court began to provide disaster relief. The Ministry of Household Affairs was responsible for it, the Ministry of Works was responsible for it, and Xu Da was responsible for all affairs.

When the food and supplies were ready, Xu Da began to arrange for people to resettle the victims, and at the same time, he also began to arrange for the refugees to go to Qinglong Mountain to mine coal.

Qinglong Mountain is not far from the capital, only more than ten kilometers away. After simple processing, the mined coal is turned into lumps of coal, or even briquettes, which can be transported to the capital on the same day. There are no transportation costs.

The next day, heavy snow fell from the sky. Zhu Tuo and Lu Qing left the city. Along the way, there were almost no people on the road.

On the outskirts of the city, in the houses where refugees live, there are simple barracks with smoke rising from them, which is obviously the coal that has just been transported from here.

When they reached the foot of Qinglong Mountain, the victims went there and began to mine black coal and use professional workers to process it.

The clothes they wore were very simple, and their bodies were all black, but there was a masculine breath that spurted out from their mouths, blowing away the surrounding snow. "Prince Su." Xu Da had sharp eyes among the crowd and greeted him with a smile.

"Master Xu." Zhu Tuo smiled and waved, "How is your coal mine doing?"

"Not good." Xu Da shook his head and sighed: "This group of refugees come from all over the world, their accents and customs are different, and they don't know how to mine coal. In short, it's chaos.

We still have to get used to it. "

Zhu Tuo nodded.

Not long after, Zhuo Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, also walked in and greeted Zhu Tuo and Xu Da with a smile, "At this rate, all the refugees will be able to get a piece of charcoal in more than ten days at most."

"The speed is still very fast." Zhu Tuo let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Zhuo, I saw that they all work with shovels and spades, and they don't even bring any coal, right?"

Zhuo Jing said: "Prince, there are many miners recently and there are not enough mining picks."

Zhu Tuo shook his head. Most of the shovels used by miners were of poor quality, and general tools were of poor quality.

Zhu Tuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this case, why not build an iron factory in the capital, call all the craftsmen, and let them collect all the pickaxes for emergencies."

Zhuo Jing said bitterly, "Lord Su, the blacksmiths are controlled by the imperial court. If you want to cast a large amount, you must get the royal family's permission. Why don't I write a memorial and send it to the court to see their reaction."

At this time, the ore has been completely controlled by the government, and the approval of the royal family must be obtained to build an iron factory.

Zhu Tuo didn't expect it to be so difficult, he frowned and said: "It doesn't matter, you can build this iron workshop first, and don't worry about the court affairs.

"What?" Zhuo Jing was shocked. A few days ago, he had heard that Prince Su had a weird temperament. Now that he saw it, he was really weird.

Can this iron workshop still make random things?
Zhuo Jing couldn't help but wink at Xu Da.

Xu Da stroked his beard, thought for a while, and agreed, "Everything must be prioritized. If the iron plant is built early and the output of the mine is increased early, it will reduce the coldness of some victims. Mr. Zhuo, you still have to be careful. Let’s build this iron workshop first, and I will explain it to the emperor later.”

"Of order." Zhuo Jing nodded immediately.

Zhu Tuo looked at Xu Da appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuo, why did you become the prime minister, but Mr. Xu became my number one general? What you have to do from now on is to be fearless. What do you want to do?" Deal with it, will my father kill you? "

Zhuo Jing couldn't help but pursed his lips and thought to himself that the previous Hu Weiyong was the culprit of the emperor's annihilation of his family.

You, His Majesty's direct descendant, have nothing to fear.

After seeing Qinglong Mountain, Zhu Tuo and the other three walked into the camp. Zhuo Jing sighed: "To be honest, Prince Su and Mr. Xu didn't have much relief food in the first place. They used a lot in the past few days. From now on, they will only I’m afraid I’ll have to cut back on food and clothing.”

Zhu Tuo frowned, "No way? Once the coal is dug out, it will be a huge sum of money. Isn't it just used to relieve the victims?"

"King Su is talking about...selling coal?" Zhuo Jing asked in confusion.

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Zhuo Jing shook his head, "Coal production cannot meet the needs of the victims at all. If we continue to take out coal, will they freeze to death? King Su, this is not possible."
