Chapter 182 Return to Yongchang Mansion

Here in Simodian, Zhu Zhen gave Wang Fumusheng and others an eye-opening lesson.

Wang Fu and the others never thought that even without a blunderbuss, the gunpowder itself could have such terrifying power.

If these explosive packs are equipped, all battle situations in this era will have earth-shaking changes.

Sure enough, times are changing.

Why do modern cities tear down ancient city walls?

The reason is that in the face of modern weapons, the role of the city wall has become zero. Instead, it will affect the construction and development of the city, so the city wall will be demolished.

Moreover, the power of these explosive packets is no longer inferior to the firepower on the battlefield of World War II.

Zhu Chu is going to bring a little shock to this era.

At the same time, Zhu Zhen has carried out systematic automatic taxation twice in the past two months.

One time was in January of the 26th year of Hongwu, when 420 million resources were taxed.

One time was in February of the 26th year of Hongwu, that is, at the beginning of this month, 500 million resources were taxed.

Now it has accumulated 960 million resources.

As the population increases, the tax resources generated every calendar month are also increasing significantly.

With the resources he has now, even the most primitive and crude tank requires 800 million resources, and as the tank technology becomes more advanced, the resources required increase.

But as long as he is willing to spend 4000 million resources, he can also buy a Tiger tank, right?
It was a German tank developed and used by the German army that was active on the battlefields of World War II. It weighed more than 50 tons and used a Maybach twelve-cylinder engine with a power of [-] horsepower.

It's just that this heavy tank is a bit too bulky and may not be suitable for the complex environment of Yunnan.

In addition, 3000 million resources are enough to buy a well-configured combat aircraft. Although it will not be too advanced, at least it will not be worse than the combat aircraft that served on the battlefields of World War II.

It's a pity that all the equipment and ammunition carried need to be purchased separately. Ordinary firearms and bullets only require one resource, but in the case of artillery shells, the most common grenade or mortar shell requires hundreds of resources.

"If you can afford a Big Ivan or a mushroom egg, you will be able to level the world everywhere. It would be great if you buy a plane and give him equipment. I will send a little boy to take him home."

Zhu Zhen was thinking wildly in his mind.

Of course, he was just thinking wildly. He knew how difficult it was for nuclear elements to decompose, and it might take tens of thousands of years.

He doesn't want a world full of nuclear radiation. In that case, all mankind may be forced to evolve or mutate.

What's more, whether it's a big Ivan, a mushroom egg, a little boy, or a little fat man.

The starting prices for these things are tens of billions of resources, and the base price is 100 billion resources, whether you like it or not.

Even with Zhu's current growth rate of 500 million resources per month, there will only be 6000 million resources a year, and only 100 million in ten years. [-] billion?

Unless he saves money based on the country's population, it may take more than 100 years to buy one.

Can't afford to buy.

"However, if it really comes to a critical moment, I can raise a modern armed force."

Zhu Zhen thought secretly.

Take the original large pineapple he bought before as an example. The asking price was 50 yuan.

He now has more than 900 million resources, which is enough to buy dozens of machine guns even for a new and more advanced model of Big Pineapple.

Think about the shock that a big pineapple brought to Silunfa's army at that time. Such an army, even with only fifty machine gunners, can disperse hundreds of thousands of troops as long as it leads a force of 2 people. The army is gone.

And only now did Zhu Chu know that Big Pineapple can disassemble the barrel at any time. He had already replaced the previously exploded barrel with a new one, and he could take it out again at any time to teach people of this era a lesson.

Fifty machine gunners, each equipped with more than ten gun barrels, if the upper limit of each barrel is two thousand rounds of ammunition, each person can fire twenty thousand rounds of ammunition.

Fifty people, [-] rounds, what is the concept?
With a total of 100 million bullets, even a blind shot can kill tens of thousands or even 10,000+ enemy troops, right?

If there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops huddled together, they can even be wiped out directly.

This is the power of modern weapons.

The corners of Zhu Xi's mouth slightly lifted, revealing a proud smile.

Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu, I have accumulated a lot of strength by keeping a low profile during this period. You must not lift the table, otherwise I will really not be afraid of you now.

Different from the loneliness and helplessness he felt when he was in the palace, this time Zhu Min was in Yunnan, relying on his territory and population to silently accumulate strength in the system.

This is the real keeping a low profile. In the past, it could only mean being forced to keep a low profile, not daring to reveal the advanced thoughts and knowledge that one had as a time traveler.

In addition to resources, Zhu Zhen also received a large amount of force value.

In the past two months alone, more than 1 chieftain families have been wiped out along the way.

His current force value has reached 12 again.

At critical moments, these 12 force points can directly improve attributes.

Now Zhu Chu's full attributes are: Strength [-] (plus ten), Constitution [-] (plus ten), Agility [-] (plus ten), Intelligence [-] (plus ten), Spirit [-] (plus ten).

The moving speed alone can reach 210 meters per second.

Who can catch up with him at such terrifying speed?
"Perhaps, even if Lao Zhu really wants to call me to Beijing, I won't be afraid anymore," Zhu Zhen muttered secretly.

Zhu Zhen knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had long been suspicious of him, and he also understood that once he entered the capital, it would be extremely difficult to return to the vassal.

That was a Hongmen banquet.

But once Zhu Yuanzhang insists on entering Beijing by himself, if he doesn't succeed this time, there will be another time. Sooner or later, he will not be able to escape.

But he didn't know how many years Lao Zhu could live. Once Yunnan was completely settled, he would have no more reasons and excuses.

So he still had to go there sooner or later.

So what if I go?When I completely pacify Yunnan and build it into the most solid foundation and backing, so what if I stay with you in the capital for a few years?
When you are dead, I can come back as soon as possible, then raise my arms and raise a million troops to attack Huanglong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen suddenly became ambitious and felt confident. Even if he faced Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, he was no longer afraid.

All fear stems from the lack of firepower and strength.

But as long as the strength is strong enough, there will naturally be the belief of invincibility.

When you stare into the abyss, does the abyss stare into you?
That's just not strong enough, otherwise, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss will also look away.

This is the real arrogance of domineering.

"Huh huh huh," Zhu Xi smiled proudly.

"Your Highness? Why aren't you asleep yet?" The beauty in his arms was awakened by him, twisted her body, found a more comfortable position and continued to squint her eyes. She also raised her hands to hug Zhu Chu, using him as a warm pillow. .

Zhu Chu curled his lips, you felt comfortable, and then you could sleep soundly.

Dude, who can't sleep and are thinking wildly here because of who?

They have been staying in Simoden recently, and have been studying many problems of gunpowder and the direction of development in the past few days.

Zhu Zhen also gave Wu Yong and Long Qu new tasks, preparing them to try to develop in the direction of mortars and red cannons.

So Zhu Chu and Mu Qiu started practicing together earlier today. As a result, before midnight, Mu Qiu was crying and begging for mercy.

She was satisfied, but she suffered a lot and had nowhere to vent her energy.

What can I do? Naturally, I can't bear to hurt my little wife.

After a night of silence, Zhu Xi finally fell asleep slowly.

When the couple got up early the next morning, the first thing they did was not to get up and wash up, but to sit down cross-legged facing each other, then put their hands together and close their eyes to start the first practice of the morning.

This can also be regarded as dual cultivation, but it is not another kind of dual cultivation, but a serious dual cultivation.

In fact, they are all serious dual cultivations.

It's just more formal.

Because the two of them are already considered dual cultivation partners, not only are they actually husband and wife, but they have also embarked on the path of cultivation together. The two of them have been harmonizing Yin and Yang for a long time, and they can even help each other when practicing Qi.

Of course, Mu Qiu must have taken the greater advantage. Feeling Zhu Ming's powerful blood, he was like a goblin that eats people without spitting out their bones, craving for them almost greedily.

At the same time, her pure yin energy was also nourishing Zhu Chu.

The Qi of the two people connected from the palms of their hands together. After the meridians of the two people's bodies each traveled a circle, they sank into their respective Dantians.

After a long time, Mu Qiu slowly opened his eyes, moved himself into Zhu Chu's arms, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, you always dote on me like this, A Qiu will be proud of you."

"Then be proud of yourself," Zhu Zhen smiled and pinched her little nose.With the way the two of them practiced, Mu Qiu knew that most of his energy had entered his Dantian, but Zhu Chu's progress was slowed down a lot.

Originally, Zhu Zhen could have broken through to the middle stage of Qi refining period within one year by relying on the double cultivation method of Huangdi Neijing, from nourishing Qi to refining Qi.

But if this continues, I'm afraid we will have to wait until Mu Qiu enters the Qi refining stage, which may take three years or even longer.

It is equivalent to Zhu Zheng using the energy of one person to support two people.

Fortunately, they have dual cultivation techniques, which can get twice the result with half the effort, otherwise Zhu Chu would be exhausted to death.

"Okay, get up, or Wang Fu will knock on the door again soon," Zhu Zhen patted Mu Qiu on the back, and then the two of them got up completely.

I washed myself a little and brushed my teeth with a toothbrush.

Mu Qiu praised: "Mr. Shen is really smart. He can even think of this toothbrush. I heard that it is not only widely praised in Yunnan, but also loved by many officials and wealthy people in the Central Plains, and they are chasing after it."

Zhu Ming snorted: "I invented this, okay?"

Mu Qiu looked at Zhu Chu in surprise, and then realized that it turned out that His Highness also invented this toothbrush.

The development of gunpowder, as well as early glass, sugar, soap, etc.

There are even many new rice seeds, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. that will be cultivated this year.

"Your Highness, you know too much, don't you? Where did you learn all this? Why haven't I seen these books?" Mu Qiu asked curiously.

Zhu Ming became proud, thinking that this was all developed with modern knowledge and relying on system cheating. It can be said that both are indispensable.

"After dinner, go say hello to Long Qu and Wu Yong, and then it's almost time to leave," Zhu Chu said to Mu Qiu while wiping his face.

They have been here for a few days. If they continue to stay, it is not impossible, but it will delay a lot of work.

In fact, they should have returned to Dali long ago. This time they took the opportunity to come out and Zhu Chu wanted to completely conquer all of Yunnan.

So next they had to continue walking in the direction of Yongchang Mansion. Zhu Zhen was going to Yongchang Mansion. He had some things to explain to Yan Shitai and to see the changes in Yongchang Mansion this year.

So the two of them didn't waste any more time. After washing and getting dressed, they pushed the door open and walked out of their room.

Outside the door, Wang Fu and several guards were guarding the entrance of the courtyard, not allowing others to come in and disturb them, and they did not dare to come in and disturb them.

"Old Wang, I told you that you don't have to come and stand guard for me yourself," Zhu Xi walked over and said to Wang Fu.

Wang Fu smiled and nodded, greeting: "Your Highness, Miss Mu, morning."

Zhu Chu looked up at the sky.

As winter turns to spring, the days begin to get longer and the sun rises early.

Is this kid making fun of himself?
"Good morning, Brother Wang," Mu Qiu greeted with a smile, but his face was a little red.

Even after so long, she still felt a little shy when someone saw her coming out of the same room with His Highness.

After all, she is a girl, so she is thin-skinned.

"Let's go. Is breakfast ready? At the same time, notify the whole army that after breakfast, it is time to prepare for the road. Next, we will go to Yongchang Mansion, and at the same time, we will continue to promote the reform of the land and return to the local people along the way."

After Zhu Chu confessed, he and Mu Qiu went to the front yard first.

When Zhu Chu and Mu Qiu arrived at the government office lobby in the front yard, Long Qu was already waiting. At the same time, someone quickly brought the breakfast that had been warmly prepared from the back kitchen.

Even if others have already eaten, they don't dare to call them. They are always ready to eat until they get up.

On the other hand, Mu Sheng was stationed outside the city with the army. After all, there were 3 troops. It was not good to all enter the city to avoid unnecessary interference.

After breakfast, Zhu Jin asked Long Qu to send someone to call Wu Yong from the military camp, and then explained to the two of them.

"Our stay this time is not short, and it's time for us to leave. But don't ignore the tasks left for you, and don't delay farming," Zhu Xi ordered.

Long Qu and Wu Yong looked at each other and immediately took the order.

Then Zhu Chu and his party left Simodian directly. With the people reluctant to see them off, they led the army and started walking from south to north.

Years ago, we first started from Dali City, passed through Kunming and then Maitreya, then from Qiubei County to Guangnan Prefecture, and then circled around Fuzhou to Simodian.

It's like going around in a big circle.

And on the way to Yongchang Mansion, Zhu Zhen was not idle, and he also uprooted the chieftains one by one in the various counties along the way.

One thing to say is that during the Ming Dynasty, there were really many chieftains in Yunnan. Not to mention the crucian carp crossing the river, there were more than 300 and nearly [-] chieftains in official records just with official positions in the court. Home.

And what about those that are not recorded?
Then I don’t know how many there are.

Take the village owners of the eleven villages in Weimo Prefecture. In fact, each village owner's village is at most the size of a county town.

Even in smaller villages, there are chieftains, who were originally the landlords of the village, but later learned to call themselves chieftains.

Because the chieftain has absolute autonomy, as long as the local chieftain approves, he is still considered a chieftain even if he is not canonized by the court.

This resulted in Yunnan's previous situation being extremely chaotic.

But after Zhu Chu's two rectifications, Yunnan was being fully pacified, and the former chieftain families were basically wiped out.

By the time Zhu Chu came to Yongchang Mansion, it could be said that except for the two areas north of Kunming and north of Lijiang, all of Yunnan had become Zhu Chu's territory, and his total population had reached an astonishing 580 million.

Even Zhu Zhen himself did not expect that Yunnan would have such a large population, which was beyond imagination.

Because he initially naively believed that Yunnan only had a population of 40 million.

But he ignored that in the past ten years alone, 300 million people have migrated from the Central Plains to Yunnan.

Not to mention that Silunfa could raise hundreds of thousands of strong men. Even if each strong man only represented a family of three, how many thousands would it be?

What's more, Silunfa has not yet exhausted all the young men in Yunnan.

So the total population of Yunnan is really impressive.

However, the Han population is still a minority, and the majority are still dominated by natives of various ethnic groups.

It seems that there are already a lot of Han people, but in fact they are only concentrated in a few cities.

Of course, this is naturally a good thing for Zhu Zhen.

After all, the more people there are, the more tax resources he will have every month.

The trip from Simodian to Yongchang Mansion once again took a full two months.

Zhu Zhen also harvested a total of 100 million resources in two months.

The reason why it took so much time was that when the chieftain families were uprooted by Gaituiguiliu, the local people had to be appeased, and the local land survey and local population registration had to be re-registered.

And later, when it was time to farm, it became more and more troublesome.

But no matter how troublesome it is, Zhu Zhen doesn't mind it. He knows that reforming his country and returning to his hometown must be done, otherwise it will be meaningless.

On this day, he finally arrived at Yongchang Mansion smoothly.

At this time, it was already April of the 26th year of Hongwu.

Yongchang Mansion, this is an ancient city, but because the city was destroyed before, it was rebuilt by Hu Yuan.

Many places in Yongchang Mansion were built according to the scale of Yingtian. Even the style and many places are exactly the same as Yingtian.

Just say that Hu Yuan is so ambitious. Did he come to Yunnan to become the emperor?

It was only because he discovered it early that he eradicated Hu Yuan.

Nowadays, Yongchang Mansion has restored its government system, and Yan Shitai is the prefect. He is an upright man. Zhu Chu also plans to introduce him to Li Shuran, so that two equally upright people can get to know each other, and maybe they will cherish each other. ?
"Your Highness, you are here."

Upon hearing the news that Zhu Chu was coming, Yan Shitai hurriedly came out to greet him ten miles outside the city.

Zhu Chu didn't like this kind of pomp and scolded: "It should be spring plowing time now, right? Why did you come so far to greet me instead of directing the farm work? When did you, Yan Shitai, become flattering and flattering?" "

Zhu Zhen was very unhappy. Yan Shitai was convicted and exiled because he tried a member of a Jiangnan family for his uprightness.

But it was because of his temperament and selflessness that I used him.

If he becomes such a person, what else do you want him to do?

"No, Your Highness," Yan Shitai quickly explained: "I want to take you to see the Nu River. Didn't you let me build a factory in Yongchang Mansion to bake bricks and make cement? You plan to build a bridge on the Nu River within three years. . I just want you to see that the Nujiang River seems to be much less flooded in spring. If possible, I plan to dig bridge piles during this season."

"Oh? Then go and have a look. Wait, are you planning to let my [-] troops come to dig piles for you?"

Zhu Zhen looked at Yan Shitai with a suspicious look on his face. Is this kid plotting against him?
