Chapter 989 Development(1/2)

As the Mongolian Khan's kneeling, Tutuobuhua represents stability in the north. It can have stability for at least ten years or even decades. This is a great thing for the Ming Dynasty and the people.

As long as Tuotuobuhua is not dead, this kind of peace can probably be maintained. Although it seems that only a short time has passed, the Ming Dynasty today seems to be completely different from the Ming Dynasty ten or twenty years ago, and it has already possessed it.

The power that can make Mongolian capital fear.

As for whether there will be other opposition forces on the grassland, there is no need to worry. Not to mention whether the position of the Khan of Tuotuobuhua is stable or not, in terms of military strength, the biggest forces on the grassland are Tuotuobuhua and Ala.

There is a small alliance of Zhiyuan, not to mention that there are many other tribes joining in this small alliance.

In addition, just a trade can become a means to grasp the grassland, not to mention that Zhou Yu is also planning to build a city for them, a real giant city.

What Zhou Yu wants is the stability of the previous few years. After a few years, the tribes on the grassland will not only no longer become threats to the Ming Dynasty, but they may not be willing to fight against the Ming Dynasty again.

Tutuobuhua also participated in the entire battle to destroy Yesian. He also witnessed the power of the Great Bright Firearm with his own eyes. When dealing with the Yesian Cavalry, the effect of various new firearms is devastating. Yesian is there.

It's just that there is no resistance at all.

The rich smell of gunpowder on the battlefield after every battle is still fresh in memory of Tuotuobuhua. The smell of roasted meat in the mix is ​​so tempting to vomit...

Over the years, the Ming Dynasty's rule over the surrounding vassal states has become increasingly low. Now so many envoys from different vassal states have come to see the situation, but the scene I saw here really scared them.

Zhou Yu also held a banquet to entertain all the envoys, but the difference was that Zhou Yu accepted all the things offered by the envoys, but he did not give any so-called rewards. The previous set was not feasible for Zhou Yu, and it gave it value.

A thing worth 100 gold can get more than 100 gold returns. It is useless to try to fight Qiu Feng here in Zhou Yu.

Of course, as a state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire, there must be a reward for the return of the emperors who are recognized by the sect leader and the state, all the vassal states, will also have the rewards that should be given to them. Things should be given, but the methods should be changed.

The military parade and awards were held at the next time, and all the delegations were invited to attend. When Zhou Yu changed into golden armor and personally brought ribbons to the soldiers who had made meritorious service and distributed medals, the situation also made those who had made the best.

The envoy who came to watch the ceremony felt like the Ming Dynasty stood up again. The frightening Celestial Kingdom woke up again and there was a powerful emperor.

When the delegations left, they also took Zhou Yu's rewards. Ceramic products carefully made by craftsmen, silk, satin and other specialties of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to say that they are valuable, it can be considered as true, but these are works of art.

The emperor rewarded souvenirs to rulers of various vassal states. Even if the whole set of ceramic supplies were inlaid with gold and silver wires, the craftsmanship was of high value, but how could this be more useful than directly rewarding gold, silver and jewelry?

What can these things be done when sent to various vassal states? The only function is to collect them to prevent them from looking good, and to directly enhance the sense of honor to the extreme.

The envoys were gradually leaving, but the Mongolian mission left half and left half. At this time, another mission had just landed in the port.

After the news reached the capital, time passed a few days later. After reading the memorial handed to him by Cheng Jing, Zhou Yu laughed: "The Japanese pirates are really interesting. The other missions have left and they have just arrived ashore."

Cheng Jing also smiled and said, "It's indeed a bit late. Do you want to send them back?"

"If you come, let them come." Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's just right for them to ask them clearly about their current situation."

Cheng Jing nodded: "The minister informed the local area and asked them to send the delegation to the capital."

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded and put down the note, lying on the couch, feeling quite lazy: "It has not been assured of the throne in a hurry until today. I suddenly felt a little tired."

Cheng Jing bowed and said, "It's time for the emperor to have a good rest. The emperor is worried about everything. Now the country is stable and the emperor is not harmful to rest for a while. There are six cabinets in the court to supervise the handling of small and medium-sized matters. The sky is getting warmer. If the emperor is

If you are bored in the palace, you can go to the villa to take a break for a while."

"Yeah." Zhou Yu nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's good to have a few days to take a break. You can arrange it and notify the imperial concubine to let her prepare it. Also, I haven't been to Xiyue for a long time. I'm going to see it.

look."

Cheng Jing: "Old minister will make arrangements now."

Zhou Yu said: "I inform the three princesses, and King Xiang and Yu Qian all came to see me."

"yes."

Cheng Jing stepped back and turned away a few steps, and Zhou Yu sat up and picked up a special pencil to write and draw on the table. He felt that he had drawn a large city on paper for a while.

The city in the picture is very different from the existing Ming Dynasty cities. It is a very unique and strange city. It does not have a square feeling of squareness, and even the city walls only have a part, which protects the city like brackets.

In the middle.

And this is the city drawing designed by Zhou Yu for Mongolia, and this place will also become the royal court on the grassland.

Now the matter of supporting the construction of the grassland city has been completely decided. On the grassland, people will work together to build this royal city. It has just been decided, and the site selection has not started yet. The Ming Dynasty's craftsman representatives will go with the officials of the Ministry of Works.

The grassland and the grassland people choose a site to build a city together. It will probably take about three months to start building the city as soon as possible.

After taking a look at his painting, Zhou Yu threw the drawing aside, then spread the map of the capital on the table, picked up a thinner piece of paper and spread it on the map, and after thinking about it, he directly put the palace in the palace.

Everything around was framed.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Zhou Yu is preparing to rebuild the imperial city. At the beginning, he considered choosing a new place to build a new city, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need for this, in the current place

Just expand.

Last year, Zhou Yu planned to expand the imperial city ten times, so that the palaces within the palace would not have to be squeezed together, and the Imperial Garden could also directly include the Wansui Mountain behind it.

Soon Zhou Yu drew another picture according to his own ideas, and Zhou Yu stopped moving until King Xiang Yu and others came to the imperial study room.

"All are here."

"See the Emperor."

"Get up."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and picked up his pretty satisfied painting and said to Yu Qian and King Xiang: "Uncle Yu Qian, come and take a look at this."

The two people who were called came to Zhou Yu and stood around and stood there. They looked at the picture on Zhou Yu's table and didn't react at first. They looked at it for a few more times before they understood.

King Xiang's eyes lit up and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay! Very good."

Yu Qian frowned: "The Emperor is preparing to expand the palace? I see that this has been expanded almost ten times. I would like to think twice. Such a waste of money will only cause the country that has finally stabilized will turmoil again. Your Majesty,

And it has a wide impact."

Zhou Yu looked at Yu Qian: "That's true, but Master Yu, do you think I would need to build this new imperial city? How much money would it take?"

Yu Qian said: "It takes decades to take the imperial city ten times more than one million for civilians, and the money is even more unsatisfactory. The emperor thinks twice."

Zhou Yu said: "If I said it only takes tens of millions of taels of silver, 300,000 people may only take three years to make you stay."

Yu Qian was stunned: "This is impossible!?"

"Nothing is impossible." Zhou Yu shook his head and said again: "If I recruit civilians to expand the palace, do you think it's a good or a bad thing."

Yu Qian frowned: "There are good and the bad."

Zhou Yu nodded: "That's right, but in my opinion, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. First, naturally, I can live more comfortably. Second, the money in my hands can be circulated, and nearly 100 million taels of silver are just released.

In the inner warehouse, it’s just a decoration, and money can be circulated.

"I not only want to build a new palace, but I also want to move all the military workshops in the city out of the capital, expand the capital, and build a new military camp on the edge of the city... I have to do a lot of things, and I am also planning to spend all these money.

Go out and use it to make all this money circulate. Yu Qian, Yu Qian, times have changed. You used to think that the troubles of the people and money may become an important means of the development of our Ming Dynasty for a long time in the future."

Yu Qian shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's not that easy to build a city. It takes several years or even decades to spend."

Zhou Yu laughed: "I see the weather is good today, so I will take you to see it."

The few people didn't understand what Zhou Yu was doing, but the emperor had to take them to see the world and naturally he had to follow him quickly.

In this way, Zhou Yu brought a group of people to the Royal Workshop.

Many people in this place naturally heard about it and knew that the new firearms used by Shenji Camp seemed to be researched from here. Zhou Yu gave the craftsmen here a very high status, but they had never been to this place.

"Meet the Dean."

As soon as he entered the yard, a janitor stood up and hurriedly saluted Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu smiled and pointed to the people behind him: "Treat as the rules."

"yes."

Yu Qian and others were immediately searched thoroughly and tied a thin iron chain to their ankles.

When they saw Zhou Yu's treatment was the same, they didn't ask much, just thought that this was the rule here.

Zhou Yu did not take them to the place where they were studying the firearms, but seemed to have gone around without purpose. After a long round, Yu Qian still couldn't react. However, Prince Jiao seemed to understand something.

"Your Majesty, I think these buildings seem to be made of not carved stones and wood, but bricks and cement?"

Yu Qian was stunned: "I know the bricks, but what is this cement? Water and mud?"

Zhou Yu Xiaoxiao directly recruited a manager: "You can introduce it to Lord Yu and the others."

"Yes, Dean."

The introduction process is very interesting. It not only needs to be listened to but also needs to be watched and practiced in person.

After Yu Qian knew the function of cement, he was a little confused, but when he saw cement bricks, cement boards, and cement sculptures, Yu Qian was really confused. Then he realized that the strength of this thing was even larger than that of stones and the cost was not high.

Yu Qian realized it when he was.

Times have changed... This sentence is right.

Yu Qian personally started to operate a simple hand and made a four-dimensional thing. He discovered that the effect of cement was extremely huge.

Mud can be shaped. This thing can be shaped like mud before solidification. As long as there is a template, it can even create countless floors with the same texture. It is much more convenient than having a stonemason carve it. It is burned in the kiln.

Building a brick city is simply a breeze.

As long as there is enough people to keep up, Yu Qian's eyes seemed to be like a big city rising from the ground in a month.

Before I even had time to wash my hands, Yu Qian hurriedly came to Zhou Yu and knelt down and shouted loudly: "I know my mistake. I have seen the world today and only then did I realize that the emperor said nothing wrong. Times have changed. This kind of thing called cement must be

It can become the treasure of our Ming Dynasty to maintain the country! I support the expansion of the imperial city!"

“Go and wash.”
