And the seaside behind them will also expand the walled city into a city.

The governor of New Jinling is probably an official position similar to the imperial censor of the capital procuratorate. He has the power to decide on the appointment, appointment and dismissal of officials in the New World.

This is a frontier official who controls one side.

Although his clan status was not restored, Zhu Yunwen was still surprised.

Zhu Shou whispered again: "My grandson has high hopes for the New World. When I return to Beijing this time, I will thoroughly explore the sea route. Then the imperial court will move people here on a large scale. In the future, the Ministry of Industry will create

With faster ships, the communication between the imperial court and the New World will be more convenient."

Listen to Zhu Shou talk about this.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were already looking at the different warship docked at the dock behind him.

"The imperial court seems to have changed a lot in the past two years..."

He just said something with emotion, but Zhu Shou raised his eyebrows.

"Actually quite a few!" Zhu Shou's eyes were shining: "The imperial court has implemented the Hongwu New Deal in the past two years, and the people's lives have become better and better.

Before the old minister went to sea this time, the imperial court was already working on completely abolishing the chieftain system in the southwest. The 18th Prefecture of Gyeonggi Province established the Governor of Zhili. There is also the Western Railway from Henan Prefecture to Hamiwei. The distance is thousands of miles and will be completed in a few days.

to.

Let’s just say that the current flagship of the fleet, the steam warship, is also the latest one built by the Ministry of Industry.

I heard over there that Zhang Shangshu is already developing a warship made of whole steel. If it can really come out, it will probably be more convenient and faster to travel to New Jinling by then."

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and had been away from the Central Plains for several years. He never thought that the imperial court would change so much now.

Sun Cheng was also a little surprised.

I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart that so many things had happened and so many changes had happened while I was not in the court.

Zhu Shou added: "There are great changes in the DPRK right now. Your Majesty and the cabinet are working hard to make new plans. The New World will become more and more important in the future. We have done our work here. When I return to the DPRK to report on my work, I am afraid there will be others."

Reward."

He did not mention Zhu Yunwen's official position.

Even though Zhu Yunwen is now the governor of the New World and the governor of the new Jinling. According to the official system stipulated by the imperial court, his status is equivalent to that of Zou Xueyu, the governor of Zhili.

In fact, the territory of the New World is comparable to that of the Central Plains, and Zhu Yunwen's power is logically greater than that of Zou Xueyu.

It's just that the New World is a New World after all. In the eyes of the imperial court and the people of the Central Plains, it is just a desolate and uninhabited land.

What matters is not how big the official position and power are, but whether the New World can give the court a satisfactory result.

As long as the people here in the New World do well enough and bring enough benefits to the court, then everyone will be promoted and make a fortune.

Zhu Shou's eyes flickered.

I will probably have to travel continuously between the Central Plains and the New World in the future, and the officials from various ministries and departments who followed me this time will have to stay in the new Jinling City that has not yet been built.

It may take several years of time and effort for these people to return to Beijing.

When the imperial court selected officials to come to the New World, they considered many factors.

Someone who is young and has no family, someone who is old and has no worries.

The older ones have more experience, while the younger ones are more capable.

On the contrary, those officials in their thirties and forties have many things to do and are unlikely to stay in the New World for several years.

After everyone talked, the fleet also began to dock at the dock in rotation, bringing people and supplies ashore.

And these vacant ships will not return to the Central Plains so quickly. Instead, under the leadership of Zhu Yunwen and others, they will sail along the west coast in both directions to the north and south to explore further places.

As for the manpower brought by the Ministry of Industry, they will also mine the proven mineral deposits in the shortest possible time, establish a metallurgical industry, and transport materials to the imperial court.

With support in place.

The North American continent has ushered in its first rapid development across the ages.

Countless manpower and resources were transported to New Jinling.

The walled city that Zhu Yunwen and others built on the seaside in the early stage was abandoned and became a coastal defense outpost. The new Jinling City was chosen to be located in the triangle area next to the inland water area behind the strait.

The pier on the seaside is of little use as the water is not deep enough. If the court develops larger ships in the future, it will not be able to dock.

On the other hand, the inland water area in the strait is a rare deep-water port, and the south of the new Jinling City that we are eyeing is very suitable.

Along with Zhu Shoulai's naval officers and soldiers, some went eastward to continue exploring the New World, while most of them became workers on the spot and began construction work for the Ming Dynasty's first city in the New World.

(Topographic map of San Francisco and eastwards, starting from the 30th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, this place has been part of China since ancient times! Hahaha, just kidding~)
