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

Chapter 614 Give some favors and win people’s hearts

Back near Malacca, it was already autumn.

However, in these places, there are no four seasons, and the weather is almost the same throughout the year. Zhu Xuan cannot feel any obvious changes in the weather.

When he arrived here, Zhu Xuan did not go back to Guangzhou immediately. He first passed through the Lancang River and went to Mubang.

At this time, Mubang was also developing rapidly, but of course pollution could not be avoided. Steelmaking and coal burning were billowing smoke, and the environment was severely damaged.

People here don't pay attention at all, and Zhu Xuan also doesn't care. As long as the locals have money, nothing else matters.

Regarding environmental issues, it is not too late to deal with them after development, so there is no need to rush now.

Zhu Mo's reaction was a bit big. He didn't want his fiefdom to be polluted by the environment, so he requested to change the fiefdom to Siam, not wanting to be stationed in Mubang for a long time.

Lao Zhu considered that the pollution was indeed serious and understood why Guaisun initially said that the area near Yingtian was not suitable for steelmaking and insisted on moving the factory to Indochina, so he agreed to Zhu Mo's request.

Zhu Xuan passed through the Lancang River and went to Mubang's factory to learn about the situation.

Guo Ze stayed here for a long time, dealing with various steel, weapons, cosmetics, jade, tea and other industries.

Seeing Zhu Xuan arriving, he led a group of people out to greet him.

"Are there any other problems here?"

Zhu Xuan asked as soon as he arrived.

Guo Zedao: "There are no big problems. Small problems occasionally occur, but they are easy to deal with..."

He briefly reported on recent developments.

Zhu Xuan will have little chance to come here again in the future, and he must arrange other work before leaving.

Suzhou and Fujian are not far apart, so it is more convenient to go there. It is probably difficult to come back to places as far away as Mubang. It feels a bit pity when I think about it.

"You guys did a great job."

After Zhu Xuan listened to the report, he gave them some small tasks and took a look at the place where tobacco was grown. There was nothing else in Mubang.

Generally, in the early stages of development, the problem will not be big.

What needs attention is the corruption problem that will appear in the middle and later stages.

After understanding everything, Zhu Xuan returned to the boat. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go to Siam to meet Uncle Twenty-one tomorrow.

At this time, the sun was setting.

Although the pollution here is quite serious, the sunset is still quite beautiful.

Zhu Xuan sat on the deck, stretched comfortably, and asked: "Zheng He, you seem to be from Yunnan, right?"

Zheng He was captured by the Ming army during the battle to pacify Yunnan. He followed Lan Yu and others back to Beijing, served in the palace, became an eunuch, and was finally transferred to the palace of King Zhu Di of Yan.

Mubang is not far from Yunnan, and it can be said that it is within the scope of Yunnan's governance.

Zheng He nodded and said, "Yes."

However, he had no resentment about joining the palace as a eunuch.

I was very unconvinced at first, but after training and training, I had to accept it. Besides, now that I am following Zhu Xuan, I am living a pretty good life. Apart from my six roots being clean, I don’t seem to have any other regrets.

Zhu Xuan was very kind to him and trusted him enough to entrust him with the management of such a large fleet.

"Do you have any nephews or nephews in Yunnan?"

Zhu Xuan glanced at him sideways, and then said: "If you have one, you can go back and discuss it. You can adopt one and bring it to your side to train, or you can send it to me to train, so that you can have a descendant to inherit the family business."

After hearing this, Zheng He's eyes grew hot, and he knelt down and said, "I don't need any descendants. I just want to serve Your Highness well."

Zhu Xuan didn't believe what he said. He wanted to take care of Zheng He's descendants mainly because he wanted to continue to stabilize Zheng He's heart and make him work for him down-to-earth and never betray.

"If you don't want future generations, that's a lie."

Zhu Xuan revealed Zheng He's thoughts and continued: "If there is one, you can go back tomorrow and choose one with good morals and character. Send it to the capital, and I will arrange it for Ji Wenjing and let him teach you well. How about that?" "

Zheng He knew what Ji Wenjing was capable of.

There is absolutely no problem in sending it to Ji Wenjing for instruction, and I am very happy to do so.

Zheng He kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the gift, Your Highness. My slave... I have actually asked my brother to adopt a son for his retirement. I have never dared to tell His Highness." Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "This is a good thing, no need. What are you worried about? I'll give you a few days off tomorrow to go back and take a look. Remember to bring it back. I'll tell you about it, Mr. Ji."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zheng He kowtowed gratefully.

You will definitely learn a lot from Ji Wenjing.

As long as he takes the imperial examination again in the future, when His Highness ascends the throne, his nephew will be His Highness's closest minister. This is very good.

He could also see that Zhu Xuan saw that he was an eunuch, and he must have plenty of money. He didn't know what the reward would be, so he started with descendants so that he could be grateful and continue his voyage down-to-earth.

Zheng He was indeed grateful and felt that Zhu Xuan was very good.

Even if he sacrifices his life for Zhu Xuan, it doesn't matter to him.

Zhu Xuan glanced at the setting sun, which completely sank in the western sky, replaced by the darkness of the evening. He secretly sighed that time passed so quickly and said, "Okay, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zheng He was really grateful and kowtowed a few more times.

Ji Wenjing came out at this moment, raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Zhu Xuan said: "Mr. Ji came just in time. I have something to discuss with you."

He briefly explained the reward to Zheng He to Ji Wenjing.

Ji Wenjing immediately agreed: "Of course there is no problem, but I am very strict. If Eunuch Zheng's nephew disobeys me, I will not be polite."

Zheng He said: "A strict teacher produces a good disciple. If Mr. Ji thinks he still has potential, he can be disciplined severely. If he thinks he is dull, I will send him back to Yunnan."

Use it if you can, or if you can't, give him a fortune in the future and help him take care of himself in old age.

This is Zheng He's idea, he won't pray for too much.

"So best."

Ji Wenjing really doesn't know how to be kind, nor can he be polite with Zheng He.

"younger brother."

Xu Miaojin came out.

When they saw this, they left knowingly.

Xu Miaojin ran over, threw herself into Zhu Xuan's arms, and said softly: "It's time to have dinner."

Zhu Xuan said: "Okay!"

He has made arrangements for Mubang and the great voyage, and is almost done.

When you become the grandson of the emperor or the emperor in the future, it will be difficult to go out in person. You have to make arrangements in advance to stabilize people's hearts and make them wholeheartedly help you work.

To put it simply, it means buying people's hearts.

People’s hearts in all aspects need to be bought over.

But it's easy to bribe them. Zhu Xuan believes in their loyalty. As long as they are not corrupt, many things can be ignored.

Return to the cabin.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

Mu Yuanjun smiled.

Cen Hua said again: "Your Highness is busy winning people's hearts. Is it really difficult to come out again in the future?"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "It should be difficult, unless Grandpa Huang is very loose with me, so he doesn't have to worry about me."

But this is almost impossible.

Even if Lao Zhu agrees, it is impossible for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to agree, especially Fang Xiaoru. He must be dragged to the main hall to study again.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
