The main purpose of immigration is to assimilate the aborigines of the overseas territories. This is related to whether the Ming Dynasty can rule the overseas territories permanently. It is necessary to increase propaganda efforts, and this important task falls on the Ming Daily.
What is popular opinion?People's support is to let the people of Ming Dynasty live a good life. Li Zicheng can win people's support if he does not pay the grain, but that is just empty talk.
Whoever can really feed and clothe the people will win the hearts of the people. For the future of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian doesn't mind letting the people have some objections temporarily.
After Sun Chuanting and other ministers withdrew, Zhu Youjian said to Prince Zhu Cihong:
"After I leave the capital, you will handle government affairs with the cabinet in the morning, and listen to the minister's advice with an open mind in the cabinet. You will go to the military academy in the afternoon to attend classes. At school, you must treat your classmates well, respect teachers and respect morals, and don't act like you are superior. , They will all be your helpers in the future."
Zhu Cihong bowed and saluted:
"Father, don't worry, after the lessons of the troubled times in the past few years, and living with the people in the northwest for more than a year, my son and minister have almost integrated into the folks, and I have never felt that I am more noble than them. So far, no student knows that my son The true identity of the minister."
Zhu Cihong's approach surprised Zhu Youjian:
"Oh, yes, it seems that the father underestimated the emperor's son. As the future successor of Daming, he must not only learn to love the people like a son, but also learn to employ people, and not act on his own will."
"Thank you Royal Father, my son will definitely live up to Royal Father's expectations."
In the past, the prince was not there, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were persuaded to leave by Queen Zhou. Thinking that there were not enough eunuchs and maids in Duanben Palace, Zhu Youjian said:
"Go back and let Wang Daban be responsible for recruiting a group of court ladies and eunuchs, as long as there are enough, don't wantonly recruit and disturb the people, go!"
Zhu Youjian did this for the benefit of the prince, but Zhu Cihong directly declined:
"Thank you father for your concern. My son is alone. I think the eunuchs and maids in the palace are enough for the time being. Let's talk about it in a few years!"
Main Text Volume Chapter 658: Military Explosion to Ryukyu
To be honest, Zhu Youjian is still very satisfied with the prince Zhu Cihong.
After experiencing severe pain, this child has become very mature now, no matter in every aspect, he is better than those emperors of Nanming.
He is not only illiterate, but also good at communication, and loves military affairs even more. As the prince of Ming Dynasty, he can even think of entering the imperial military study.
The training in the Royal Military Academy is very hard, and most people can't persist.
Now that the world is peaceful, as the prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong doesn't need to go through this hardship at all, but he still chooses to enter the Royal Military Academy to temper himself.
Seeing the back of the prince Zhu Cihong leaving, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought for a moment, Cao Zhengchun looked at Ah Qing out of the corner of his eye, and he quietly left the imperial study room, only Ah Qing and Zhu Youjian were left in the room.
Ah Qing knew that the emperor might think of Empress Zhou, so she moved two steps to come behind Zhu Youjian, put a pair of jade hands on Zhu Youjian's shoulders, and gently massaged him:
"Your Majesty, the prince has already grown up, so you don't need to worry about him. I feel that Your Majesty should have a queen."
Zhu Youjian reached out and grabbed A Qingyu's hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, and then held her slender waist:
"Ah Qing, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to have a queen! But look at the concubines around me, which one of them has the potential to be a queen.
Not everyone can be the Empress of Ming Dynasty. Looking at so many dynasties in the history of China, only I, Empress Daming, is the most virtuous, who has not usurped the throne or power, and managed the harem in an orderly manner.
I don't expect to find a virtuous empress through the ages like Empress Hongwuma, but at least I want to find a virtuous empress who is similar to Empress Zhou. "
Ah Qing silently nodded:
"Your Majesty, Ruyan has a very good personality, but she can't be a queen. It's really a pity."
Speaking of Ruyan, Ruyan's peerless face appeared in front of Zhu Youjian's eyes:
"That's right! Ruyan has a gentle temperament and is indifferent to the world, and she is also very virtuous, but she is always worried about her birth. Even if I make her queen, she will not be willing. Such a big Bailian taught her If it can be managed well, there will definitely be no problem in managing the harem."
Ruyan is the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus. She knows that her identity will bring great controversy to the emperor, and she has to live outside the palace. If the emperor misses her, she can send her to sleep at any time, but Zhu Youjian refuses.
Don't look at Zhu Youjian's golden words, no one dares to publicly criticize him when he speaks and does things. Although he knows that Ruyan has completely transformed, Zhu Youjian dare not gamble if he is asked to appoint a former saint of the White Lotus Sect as queen.
Ah Qing thought that all the other emperors had thousands of beauties from the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, while her host emperor had only five concubines so far, which is obviously too few, so she said:
"Your Majesty, there are too few concubines in your harem, so you have no choice at all. You can ask Wang Daban to pick out girls for you. After you have more girls, the queen will have more choices."
Zhu Youjian shook his head slightly:
"Not for now, let's talk about it in two years!"
When Zhu Youjian said this, he put his hand into Ah Qing's dress:
"Ah Qing, stay with me tonight, and go to the disaster area with me tomorrow."
Ah Qing's pretty face suddenly turned red, she nodded shyly and nestled in Zhu Youjian's arms...
The next day
Zhu Youjian ate too early, so Qinglong Cao Zhengchun came in to report:
"Your Majesty, you can start at any time, and the army is ready."
Zhu Youjian nodded slightly:
"Oh, how many people are there?"
Cao Zhengchun hastily bowed and replied:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are five hundred Jinyi Guards, two hundred Dongchang Fanzi, and a dozen members of the Royal Guard. The army is escorted by the Shenji Battalion, about 3000 people."
Hearing so many soldiers and guards, Zhu Youjian's expression sank:
"I went to the northwest to inspect, and I didn't lead troops to fight. Do we need so many troops to escort us in Daming? The water supply in the disaster-stricken areas is already difficult, so it is too wasteful for so many people to go.
According to my oral order, the Shenji camp will not move, just choose 50 people to accompany you, I have enough royal guards, if you don't worry about it, bring ten Dongchang fans. "
"According to the purpose"
Cao Zhengchun came out at the time when he was on the top of his head. All this was his idea. Seeing that the emperor didn't like it, he hurriedly took orders to arrange it.
In this way, Zhu Youjian got up and rushed to the disaster area with 100 people. Not all of these people were guards, and more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs accompanied him.
Regardless of emigration or disaster relief, the Ministry of Households must send people there. Now that the emperor has gone to the disaster area, the officials accompanying the Ministry of Households are of higher rank, and Shangshu Ni Yuanlu personally went to the battle.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian had too many capable people under his command. Whether it was the chief assistant Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, Ni Yuanlu, etc., he could send any one to inspect at will, and there was no need for the emperor to go there in person.
But Zhu Youjian also has his own difficulties. There are still ten well-drilling equipment in the system warehouse, and no one in Daming knows how to use them except him.
There is another reason. There is still a lot of food in the system warehouse. If it is transported by horse-drawn cart or small train, it will waste a lot of manpower and material resources.
If he goes there in person, he can save a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to another income for the treasury.
There are about 100 people, no need to bring anything, a small train can just carry them, it will take more than a day on the road, and the system has everything to eat and drink.
Time passed quickly, and four days passed in a blink of an eye.
