Chapter 32 The first nail household in Ming Dynasty
Seeing that Guiying had just been limped by himself, Wang Xiangqian smiled with satisfaction and continued:
"In these years, although Huduntu has made some actions that hurt the friendship between Da Ming and Cha Han from time to time, I, Daming, can let the past go. Continue to trade with Cha Han."

"Is this true?" Guiying said in surprise.

"Really. As long as Zahan gives up moving west."

"My lord Wang, to be honest, the Empress Jin is powerful, and some of our troops are hard to resist, so we can only move westward to avoid the edge temporarily. If we are asked to give up moving westward, I am afraid the Great Khan will not agree."

"I will report this matter to His Majesty, and please His Majesty make a decision. You can wait for some time in Xinpingbao."

"Ah."

As a result, Guiying just lived in Xinpingbao.

After reading Wang Xiangqian's memorial, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought.

Wang Xiangqian not only told about Guiying's request for a reward, but also reported the situation in Datong Town.

The governor Zhang Yiming and the general Qu Jiazhen colluded with each other, withholding military pay, enslaving soldiers, and falsely reporting soldiers.

Every time he inspects a guard, Qu Jiazhen will make arrangements in advance.Check which one, and transfer the other elite soldiers to that guard.So much so that he actually saw the same face in several different guards.

Most importantly, there is suspicion of smuggling.

Wang Xiangqian planned to rectify the guards in Datong Town, and hoped to get Zhu Youjian's consent.

There is nothing wrong with rectifying the guard, but the choice of the chief soldier made him a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, he thought of a person.

Cao Wenzhao.

ruthless people.

Cao Wenzhao is highly skilled in martial arts, brave in combat, and quite strategic, he can be regarded as a good soldier.

At this time, they should still be doing guerrilla warfare in Liaodong.

Just him.

He also sent back an imperial edict to Wang Xianggan, telling him that he could agree to Huduntu's request and carry out a mutual market, but the location must be located at Longjingguan. If necessary, Daming can send troops to help them resist Houjin's attack.As for Governor Zhang Yiming and Chief Soldier Qu Jiazhen, stabilize them first.

Zhu Youjian's intention is very clear, if you want money, you can give it.If you want mutual market, you can also open it.But the location has to be chosen by us.Don't you want to move west?I chose the location on the east side. Longjingguan is the place where Jisizhi turned Huangtaiji to detour to attack. If you want to trade, you must guard this place well.Even if you can't keep it, you can help Daming raise the alarm.

Smuggling definitely existed. Last year during the Jianshou famine, a bucket of rice was sold for eight taels of silver. How did you get over it?Daming is cold, but Hou Jin is not cold anymore?In the spring of the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu was about to face another great famine.

Jiannu has always supported war with war, if it weren't for the looting of so many people and supplies during the Jisi Incident, whoever would have survived would have died.What's more, the most important point is that this battle completely broke the backbone of Daming, making people see that the empire is strong on the outside but strong on the inside.In any case, the change of oneself cannot happen again.

Thinking of this, he called Bi Maokang.

"How many self-generating guns have been produced?"

"Your Majesty, all 4000 have been produced and sent to the Yongwei Battalion."

"Not enough, continue to build!"

"How much to make!"

"Five thousand! I will assign all the people in the military battle bureau to you for dispatch. If you don't have enough craftsmen, recruit them. I want you to make five thousand self-generating firecrackers within a month!"

"Yes! The minister leads the order."

If Huduntu agrees to stop the westward migration request, Huang Taiji will never sit idly by and will definitely attack Chahan. The time when the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces conquered Chahan in September may even be brought forward.

He intends to pull the Yongwei Battalion onto the battlefield, and he wants the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion to become a group of Daming dragoons riding on horseback and shooting.

After Bi Maokang left, he met Lu Jiude again and ordered him to send factory guards to sneak into Shanxi to investigate the smuggling of Shanxi businessmen and collect evidence secretly.

The smuggling in Datong Town must have something to do with Shanxi merchants.

Everything is in full swing.

Bi Maokang is making muskets.

Song Yingxing is studying the spinning machine.

Sun Yuanhua is imitating the Hongyi cannon.

Wang Zheng is studying the steam engine.

Li Banghua is rectifying the Beijing camp.

And Zhu Youjian is designing the school building layout of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

After the wheat harvest was over, Zhu Youjian ordered people to measure the land and organized the tenants to move out in preparation for the construction of the military academy.

After all the tenants have moved out, the military academy will officially start construction according to Zhu Youjian's plan.

In the plan, the military academy will cover an area of ​​2000 mu, including a training ground for 2000 people, dormitories, canteens, classrooms, and a library.At that time, the post of principal must belong to him.As for the teacher, he plans to select this year's Wu Jinshi.

The next day, he came to Shunyi Huangzhuang again. When he came, some eunuchs were organizing the relocation of tenant farmers.

It is better to say that it is a relocation than a relocation. It is just an equal distribution of people to other places.

There are three villages in the more than 2000 mu of land selected by Zhu Youjian, with a total of more than 600 people. They are gathered into three villages, and Zhang Dahai's family is one of them.

When Zhu Youjian arrived, Zhang Erhu was arguing with Zhang Dahai, and Zhang Dahai wanted to rush up to beat him, but Zhang Wangshi and Zhang Rulan held him tightly.Next to him stood a helpless little eunuch.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian was a little curious, and stepped forward to ask:

"Two Tigers, what's going on?"

Zhang Erhu, who was upright, heard the figure turn his head abruptly, saw that it was His Majesty, and all the people hurriedly knelt down to salute.Zhang Dahai and the others were already used to it. His Majesty never let people clear the way when he went out.Every time it is a carriage, wherever it goes, even the guards are hidden.

"Your Majesty, my father said that you want us to move, and I don't want to go." Erhu said after finishing his salute, getting up from the ground.

This is to become a nail household?
"Why don't you want to leave?" He looked at the eunuch beside him, and his tone became cold. "what happened?"

"My slave doesn't know. The adults in their family agreed, and the demolition money was paid, which is ten taels of silver. But this child just doesn't want to leave, and I don't know why." The eunuch was frightened when he heard this. He said that this family is acquainted with His Majesty, but he still doesn’t believe it. Damn, it’s been true for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to farm anymore. I want to study in the school built by Your Majesty." Erhu saw that Your Majesty was coming and simply gave up.He is young, but that doesn't mean he has no brains.

As a low-status tenant farmer, he talked to the emperor and even had meals with the emperor. Isn't this a fate-changing thing?If life were as peaceful as before, farming with my father, myself, and my children.

But after seeing Li Xiaohua, he seemed to have more vision for the future.He has been thinking about how to become a person worthy of her, but from his parents' words, he knows that he is not worthy of her, at least not now.

But a glimmer of light appeared in his originally gloomy life. When Zhuangtou told them that His Majesty was going to build a military academy on the land they farmed, he realized that his opportunity had come.He found a way to repay His Majesty and an opportunity to become a powerful person.He wanted to take a gamble. He didn't want to leave. He wanted to wait here for His Majesty to come. He felt that His Majesty would definitely come.

So, he had a dispute with his father.His father beat him, because in his father's eyes, it was no different from courting death.

"Why does Erhu want to study in the school I built?" Zhu Youjian said with a pleasant face.

"I want to be a general, and I want to help His Majesty fight the war! Repay Your Majesty!" Erhu answered without hesitation.

"Is it just that?"

"I still want to marry Li Xiaohua!"

"Hahaha! Good job! Erhu! You have ambition. I promise you, you will come as soon as the school is completed, okay?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Erhu happily knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.Zhang Dahai, his wife and Zhang Rulan on the side also knelt down together, and when they got up again, tears of excitement flowed from their eyes.And Zhang Rulan looked at Zhu Youjian with even more splendor in his eyes.

Looking at the family embracing and crying, Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

As an emperor, it is very difficult to make a country stronger, but it is very simple to make a family happy.

But isn’t Daming made up of tens of thousands of such families?
