Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 386 Jade, developing new products
  Mu Sheng ran between Burma and Siam.

After almost doing what should be done, the two countries were also under control, so they went to Mubang to meet Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan only proposed the plan, took command behind the scenes, and executed it, but it was Mu Sheng, He Fu and the others. Seeing Mu Sheng arrive in Mubang, he could basically guess the outcome, but he still asked: "Uncle Mu, how is it?"

"all the best."

Mu Sheng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Your Highness's method is wonderful! Let them kill each other internally and consume each other. Then we will fight in, control everything smoothly, support the puppet, suppress it with heavy troops, and open up again easily. Territory.”

He reported the situation to Zhu Xuan.

This is another great achievement!
  This was not the first time that Zhu Xuan had expanded his territory since he went south. Although the civil servants and generals in the DPRK and China were stubborn and refused to accept it, no one doubted Zhu Xuan's ability.

Zhu Xuan said: "It is not easy to control them. Next, I have to continue to trouble Uncle Mu to use force to suppress them. I will continue to use economic means to win over their people."

Mu Sheng agreed: "I will arrange soldiers from two guard posts later to suppress the capitals of those two countries, suppress all the voices of resistance in the country, and kill everyone who dares to resist. In addition, I have already The memorial is sent to Yingtian for Your Majesty. I believe that before long, Your Majesty will issue an imperial edict and send someone to take over."

After reporting the situation, Mu Sheng left again and continued to Siam.

He needs to personally direct the follow-up matters, how to suppress them, etc., and he still has to go both ways.

Zhu Xuan did not go either way, but ordered Guo Ze to arrange for people to take over all the mines and use Annan's model to recruit local workers for mining.

The price offered was higher than what Selutai and others had asked people to mine before.

In Siam and Burma, the big families and nobles were basically eliminated by Mu Sheng.

Most of the people left in the country are ordinary people or liberated slaves. These people are quite confused. Facing a puppet king and the suppression of the Ming army, they can't do anything. They don't have those big families and nobles. Waiting for a strong desire to resist.

Those families wanted to resist just for the sake of profit and refused to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Ordinary people didn't have much to gain and had no motivation to resist, but not long after, their puppet king announced that Ming Dynasty was looking for people to mine, and the wages they paid were higher than before.

At first, they were skeptical.

But until someone applied for the job and tasted the benefits, all kinds of good news spread in Siam and Myanmar.

They just want to live a stable life and don't care who controls them.

They put aside any hatred between family and country and just wanted to apply for jobs to mine.

Forced suppression and pacification methods were used on these two countries at the same time.

The adverse effects caused by the change of dynasties were quickly quelled, and various rebellious thoughts gradually disappeared in mining.

There is an example of Annan becoming wealthy before.

All of them want to be rich.

If you want to make money, you have to help Da Ming mine. Unknowingly, Da Ming has completely manipulated him.

Champa, Gan Bozhi and others were frightened when they received the news that Siam and Burma had been annexed by the Ming Dynasty in another sense.

None of them dared to have any special ideas and honestly helped Zhu Xuan mine, otherwise they would worry that the country would not be protected.

Zhu Xuan was not idle during his stay in Mubang.

I found some local people and dug some jade mines.

Thinking that the raw materials for gambling stones in later generations basically come from here, Zhu Xuan wants to develop gambling stones?
  But the current conditions are not enough. It is better to make jade wares honestly, send some to Zhu Song to sell as luxury goods, and take some to overseas markets to test the waters.

"Guo Ze, we want all the mountains here."

"The rough stones are dug out and brought back to the factory for decomposition."

"Set up another jade carving team, find more professional jade masters to come back and train apprentices for us, and make some jade bracelets, jade hairpins and jade Buddhas, and I will provide you with some design drawings."

Zhu Xuan pointed to the mine in front of him and said.

The industries under its umbrella need to be expanded more so that the income can offset the expenses of mining, steelmaking, railway manufacturing, etc.     Otherwise, relying solely on the current industry, the pressure will still be relatively high.

Although weapons, railways, etc. are all the work of the imperial court, they will be passed on to Zhu Xuan sooner or later. If we lay the foundation now, we can develop better in the future.

He would definitely be reluctant to let Grandpa Huang spend so much money to make steel and shipbuilding. He just asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate more than 100,000 taels of subsidy to the factory every year. However, this amount of money is far from enough for the factory's annual expenses. It all depends on Zhu Xuan himself. Work hard to make money to maintain.

Zhu Xuan's biggest goal is to make Ming Dynasty the strongest in the world!

He must make up for all the opportunities that Ming Dynasty missed in history, and not a single one should be left behind.

Become the center of the entire world in the next few hundred years.

"Yes!"

Guo Ze responded.

Back at the factory, he arranged for a group of people to dig jade mines.

Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to bring paper and pen to draw some jade designs.

Especially the batch of jade exported to the West, they followed the local customs and carved some crosses, Jesus, Venus, Aphrodite, etc.

After drawing these, he handed the design drawings to Guo Ze and asked him to find someone to carve them according to the drawings.

At this time, Mu Sheng came back again.

"Your Highness, we have done everything we should do."

"Uncle Mu, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all. It's our honor to be able to expand our territory with His Highness."

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "What do you want to do next, Your Highness?"

Zhu Xuan said thoughtfully: "I only know how to win those two countries, but I don't know much about how to suppress and govern them. I have to rely on Uncle Mu's help until the emperor's imperial edict comes."

Mu Sheng said: "Of course it's no problem."

"I would like to ask Uncle Mu to do me another favor."

Zhu Xuan had another idea and continued: "Uncle Mu, who is the largest tea merchant in Yunnan? Please recommend it to me."

Mu Sheng asked curiously: "Your Highness wants to start a tea business?"

Zhu Xuan explained: "I have always made it. Our tea is very popular overseas, but tea from the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty is not a rare thing overseas. Pu'er, Dianhong, scented tea, etc. from Yunnan are exported on a large scale. Not much, I want to try Yunnan tea, it may bring different benefits."

Mu Sheng knew that Zhu Xuan had many ideas and had been preparing funds for the development of Ming Dynasty industry through business.

The steel made in the factory, the rifles and artillery assembled, and the battleships that shocked overseas were all able to achieve such an effect because Zhu Xuan made money in business.

"Your Highness goes to Kunming and looks for my fifth brother Mu Xin. He will contact you for you."

Mu Sheng still admired Zhu Xuan for being able to accomplish so much at such a young age.

It is the hope of Ming Dynasty’s future.

Zhu Xuan said happily: "Thank you Uncle Mu, I decided to go back to Kunming tomorrow. Uncle Mu is in trouble here."

"Don't worry, leave this place to me. If anyone dares to resist, I will kill him again."

Mu Sheng patted his heart and promised.

At this point, Burma and Siam were both captured and stabilized.
