Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Everyone's expressions were unbelievable, "I've never seen a carriage that can load goods so fast, I'm afraid even a thousand-mile BMW can't do it."

Everyone looked at the shadow of the car that was passing away, the dust falling on both sides of the track, but they seemed to have discovered some new continent, and the discussions were in full swing.

The originally crowded streets were even more blocked. The people who heard the news surrounded the track for several floors. Everyone was chatting lively, and the words were all words related to the track.

As soon as the news spreads ten, ten to one hundred, along the track, the people also form a long dragon, and they come to watch one after another, so that a strange scene is formed in the capital.

Next to the dark track, there were people full of curiosity or surprise, and it didn't decrease a lot until they left the city.

Such a spectacular and peculiar scene lasted for several days, and the heat of the track gradually faded. Although there were occasionally people around, it was not as exaggerated and terrifying as before.

After ten days or so, the first batch of goods was finally transported to the border city near the grassland. The border generals couldn't believe it. They didn't recover until the boxes of goods were unloaded from the carriage.

The imperial court also received the news very quickly, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Very good, the track between Yingtian and Border Pass has been established, and the effect is remarkable and very good, and the construction of other tracks can also be put on the agenda. "

Originally, he was a little worried that the actual effect of the track was not so good, but now it seems that the worry is completely unnecessary.

"King Liang, you did a good job this time, and you did not live up to my expectations. Then there are other matters related to the track and grassland trade, and I will give you full authority to handle it."

Another lot of rewards were sent into Prince Liang's mansion like flowing water, and everyone who saw it was jealous.

Compared to Zhu Gaoyu's beaming side, the faces of Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Gaojiu and others were not very good-looking, but there was no other way but to watch him triumphantly.

......................................

Hundreds of craftsmen rushed to work day and night. With previous experience, the track was built faster this time. With Yingtian as the center, several other major cities have also built multiple tracks, and many goods were transported to the border.

According to Zhu Gaoyu's previous method, he hired special people from the rivers and lakes, or those refugees, and gave them a certain amount of remuneration. The situation of half-way robbery was indeed reduced a lot, and the goods were preserved to a great extent.

People with long-term vision have long discovered the business opportunities in the track. Now the distance to the border has been shortened by half, and even the safety has been guaranteed. It is no longer as dangerous as before, and the oil and water in it can be extremely rich.

In addition, Zhu Di entrusted such an errand to Zhu Gaoyu, which shows his degree of partiality. Everyone heard the news. Whether it was those businessmen or even some officials, they wanted to take advantage of it.

Prince Liang's mansion has been a crowded place lately, and there have been waves of people who are rushing to give gifts.

"Reporting to Your Highness, someone came to ask to see you."

At this time, Zhu Gaoyu was playing chess with Zhu Zhanji. Seeing that the guards reported that someone came to the door, this was the third wave that Zhu Zhanji encountered.

These are all on the clear path, he didn't bump into them, I'm afraid there will be more in private.

Zhu Zhanji said this with an envious tone. He held a white piece in his hand and gently dropped it on the chessboard, "Little uncle, your Prince Liang's mansion has been very lively recently, I'm afraid the gift-giver will soon give the threshold. Break it." Soil.

Chapter 261

I saw that the chessboard was criss-crossed, and the black and white sons each took up half of the country. On the surface, they seemed to be evenly matched. However, upon closer inspection, Zhu Zhanji's white sons were surrounded by them, and the sunspots were deeply trapped in them, showing a faint trend of decline.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Gaoyu's eyes were still on the chessboard, and Heizi was indecisive, as if he was thinking about where to break out.

"Whatever the eldest nephew said, how could the threshold of my Prince Liang's mansion be easily stepped on? You don't have to worry about that."

Regarding his avoidance, Zhu Zhanji just smiled, "Little uncle's methods of tai chi are getting more and more sophisticated, but my nephew, I have something to ask for."

"I said how absent-minded you were when you were playing chess, so you have something to ask for." Only then did Zhu Gaoyu lift his eyelids and glance at him.

Zhu Zhanji showed a harmless smile, but his eyes were full of calculations. He rubbed his hands and said:

"Now who doesn't know how to make money in rail transportation, it's just that these lines are in the hands of the little uncle, and the nephew is not greedy. Watching the uncle eat meat, we can drink a few soups together."

The track was handed over to King Liang, and many people were jealous, not to mention King Zhao and King Han, but Zhu Gaoyu came up with this idea, and the track was his design, even if everyone was interested, There is no way to start.

There was an endless stream of people from Prince Liang's mansion, but no one had really achieved his goal. Although Zhu Gaoyu was young, he was not so easy to coax.

Zhu Zhanji felt that he had a good relationship with Zhu Gaoyu, so he wanted to try it today. Seeing that he didn't speak, he felt a little nervous.

"Uncle, this is just a matter of hands. You won't refuse me, and I won't take advantage of you, nephew."

Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands, and saw that his confidant sent a box, "This is my nephew I honor, and there will be more in the future."

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at it. Although the box was not big, it was stuffed with silver bills and gold. It could be seen that Zhu Zhanji had made a lot of money, "You are rich."

"To tell my uncle, this is my entire net worth, I just want to drink some soup with my uncle."

Zhu Gaoyu didn't answer directly, he dropped a piece on the chessboard, then raised his head and said, "It's your turn."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji didn't have the heart to play chess. He couldn't figure out what Zhu Gaoyu meant, but he was worried that he would be annoyed by asking questions, so he made a random move.

I didn't see the sunspot, who was showing signs of decline, but now he was ready to fight back, or maybe the sunspot was too good at camouflage, just waiting to lure the enemy into the depths and catch them all in one go.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's tangled expression, Zhu Gaoyu concealed the smile on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he has already made a lot of money these days.

"I can think about what you said."

Zhu Zhanji's heart originally fell to the bottom, but when he heard this sentence, it climbed to the cloud in an instant, "Thank you little uncle."

Although Zhu Gaoyu did not clearly agree, but his attitude has been put here, obviously there is a drama.

"you lose."

As Zhu Gaoyu's last sunspot fell, Bai Zi was defeated. It can be said that he lost the whole game. Zhu Zhanji didn't care about winning or losing, and couldn't stop laughing.

Looking at the situation on the chessboard, he also understood that the overall situation was in Zhu Gaoyu's hands from the very beginning, and that Heizi's initial decline was all a disguise.

"The little uncle really made a high chess move, and it was good from the beginning."

Zhu Zhanji's words seemed to be a pun, "It's just that I don't know how the situation on the grassland is now. I believe there should be news soon."

He didn't forget what Zhu Gaoyu's ultimate purpose of building the track was.

Zhu Gaoyu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, his eyes fell on the void, as if he could see the distant scene through here, and his face had a wisdom that did not match his age.

......

A city at the border.

There are a lot of people here, and there are endless hawking sounds along the street. In addition to the people of the Ming Dynasty, there are even people wearing felt hats and leather clothes, and other people dressed in various grassland tribes.

A businessman who came here from a certain place thought for a moment that he had come to the wrong place. In order to hurry up, he copied the trails and other secluded places.

In the small towns passing by, the news was blocked and untimely, so that he had no idea what was going on.

The merchant's eyes were a little confused, and he couldn't help but ask the soldiers guarding the city, "What happened here, I remember that it was not like this before..."

Don't talk about people here before, there are at most two or three kittens wandering the streets, and there are very few people on the grassland.

"You don't even know." The soldier looked at the goods he was carrying, and he still used the same horses from before. He understood everything in his heart and explained it to him.

When the merchant heard this, his originally confused eyes added a bit of surprise, "There is such a thing."

He pulled the carriage and walked towards the city. On both sides of the street were people buying and selling all kinds of goods, from all over the world. He just felt that a pair of eyes were not enough to see.

In a trance, it is not located in a remote border, but in a prosperous town.

No one knows that because the distance is long and the quantity of each transport is limited, there are many requirements for the goods, so that the variety is not complete, and it is as dazzling as it is now.

"I originally thought I brought enough things, and the variety is relatively complete..." The merchant looked back at the goods on the carriage. In the past, it was definitely enough for him to make a fortune, but now it seems to be somewhat Shabby.

There are many merchants like him, who travel between the border and the Central Plains, bring goods from both sides to buy and sell, and earn a middle price difference.

The fine wine and fur and spices from the grasslands are very popular in the Central Plains, and the same is true for some things in the Central Plains.

"Hey, why didn't I get the news sooner!" The merchant's guts were turning green. If he had known about the existence of the track earlier, his trip would have been enough for him to go back and forth.

Although there are people living in the border gate, it is so crowded and prosperous, it can be said to be an unprecedented grand occasion.

Many merchants were attracted, and even some refugees from the grasslands gradually took root here, because the laws issued by these cities are very friendly to them, and they will not be bullied because they come from the grasslands.

As a result, the number of bandits has decreased a lot, and they can live a happy life, why do they need to beg for a living on the tip of a knife. In this way, a circle of conscience has been formed. The transactions are getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people participating is gradually increasing.

Some people on the edge of the grassland were all attracted and accepted by these cities. .

Chapter 262

The sun is shining brightly on the open grassland, and the blue sky is cloudless. Looking down from the top, the small yurts are stationed on the ground like mushrooms.

The yurts are not too many, but they are evenly distributed. With the largest one as the center, they are scattered around. Chak and others, as well as the envoys who went to Yingtian before, are riding horses to inspect the surrounding situation. .

"Do you think that these pastures have become more lush, and there are even fewer cattle and sheep around."

This piece of land is very fertile. Due to the gratifying growth of pastures, many people are attracted to drive cattle and sheep to grazing. Now, at a glance, there are only a few dozen cattle and sheep. Compared with the previous group, it is really poor.

"What day is today? Where have all these herders gone?"

The people grazing here looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

"Speak! What the hell is going on here?"

Seeing that they couldn't hide it, those people had to confess, "They all went to the nearest city to trade."

Chak couldn't believe it: "I remember there are at least dozens of people here, why did they all go?"

Today, people on the grasslands, who do not know that Daming built the track, want 14 to do business with them. Their spices and fur, which are extremely common objects, are transported to the Central Plains, and their value has doubled.

You don’t have to sleep in the wind and sleep, and you don’t have to graze in the hot sun or bad weather. As long as you trade a few more times, you can get a lot of money. With such a good thing, it naturally attracts most people.

After listening to their story, Chak almost gritted his teeth, "So these people stopped grazing, and all ran to the nearest city."

What he didn't know was that some people went and never came back.

Although they are nomads, their nature is longing for stability. Before, they had no choice but to live in the grasslands. Because of the compulsion of life, they migrated wherever the pasture was fertile.

But now that the problem of food and clothing has been solved, and the living environment in the city is not bad, it is natural to live and work in peace and contentment, and even develop in the direction of farming.

"How could such a thing happen? It's unheard of. If you don't do your own work, you go to the Central Plains to join in the fun."

"It's not that there have been no transactions before, but it's just a minority, and there has never been such a special situation."

The people brought by Chak whispered, they were all members of the ruling class, and naturally they would not care about these small things. Although they knew that the track had been built, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Looking at the towering city wall not far away, only a corner is exposed, and you can vaguely see its whole picture. The gray and white walls are extremely obvious in the green grassland. This is the defense line of the border and the warrior who guards the frontier of Daming.

There was a hint of fear in Chak's eyes, "Let's go, let's go and see what's going on."

As the voice fell, a group of people followed him to the city, and when they reached the gate of the city, they heard the lively hawking, and waited until they walked in to take a look.

Good guy, even if there are herdsmen in a city like this, it is only a minority. Now looking at the people of Daming and the people who come to the grassland, there are even half of them. Even many stalls are from the grassland, and they shout in the familiar Central Plains dialect. with passers-by.

If it weren't for the deep facial features and the dress, some people would believe that they were from the Central Plains.
