Chapter 340: Where Did My Thief Nephew Go to Have Fun?

The speech is over.
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the tent calmly.
As soon as he walked in, he found Emperor Yongle staring at him with an evil look.
"Ahem, Dad, father and son haven't seen each other for so long, can't you stop staring at me like this?"
"Oh, I'm just looking to see how many traitors you have in your body!"
Zhu Di smiled and cursed, motioning for Zhu Gaoxu to sit down and talk.
After all, Zhu Di was very satisfied with this second child.
The former second child was just a young man who only knew how to fight and fight, Qiu Ba, a warrior.
Letting him fight is definitely a good hand, but letting him manage the country's affairs is just an old lady's hut - unreliable!
As a result, after being injured once, this kid was in a coma for a day or two, but when he woke up, he became enlightened.
Wen Tao and military strategy, everything is ready!
Important matters in the court were also handled by him in an orderly manner.
Under the governance of the Han prince who oversaw the country, the Ming Dynasty could be said to be prosperous and prosperous with each passing day.
In this case, why did he suddenly come to Northern Xinjiang?
"Second brother, tell me the truth, what are you doing in Northern Xinjiang?"
Zhu Di glanced at him lightly and asked proactively.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.
"Before you went on the Northern Expedition, my son said that I am not the material to govern the country."
"We have finally solved some obvious hidden dangers. My son feels itchy in his bones. In addition, you are always conquering Lingbei. My son is a little uneasy, so why don't you rush here?"
"Oh, just fart!" Zhu Di laughed and cursed angrily, feeling a little helpless.
He didn't believe a word of what the second child said.
But this kid didn't want to tell the truth and always liked to hide it. Zhu Di was also very helpless.
For a moment, neither father nor son continued to speak, falling into a strange silence.
After a long time, Zhu Di asked: "Can the cannon to destroy the barbarians be mass-produced? If such a terrifying battlefield weapon can be mass-produced, it will be a blessing to our Ming Dynasty!"
"Of course it can be mass-produced." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "However, the shells of the Yi-Destroying Cannon are divided into solid bullets and hollow bullets. The solid bullets are stone bullets and lead bullets and other previous artillery shells, with limited lethality; the hollow bullets will be filled with new types of bullets. Gunpowder will be more lethal, but more expensive to make."
"It's nothing to be expensive. It's better than letting the soldiers risk their lives."
Zhu Di sighed and stared at the air in a daze.
"In the past, my father thought it was inappropriate when you wanted to improve the treatment of craftsmen. Now it seems that my father is really short-sighted."
Indeed, if this second-in-command had not been under pressure to transform the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, merge them into the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, and encourage craftsmen to develop and update armaments through various welfare measures, how could the Ming Dynasty have the power to destroy the barbarians? Cannons, such a magical weapon?
There are also bird guns, tiger crouching cannons, telescopes, etc., all of which are new weapons developed by the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, which have abruptly increased the combat power of the Shenji Battalion to an extremely terrifying level!
This second dick always brings surprises!
"Craftsmen are also human beings, and they are the talents who promote the progress of Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea and said, "Before I came, I had asked Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Hu Yuancheng, the director of the Royal Bureau of Manufacturing, to jointly establish a crafts union and begin to formulate a craftsman selection and rating system. In the future, all craftsmen in my world will be The technical level needs to be verified through the rating of the craftsmen’s union.”
"Top craftsmen with high levels will naturally receive better treatment. Not only can they be exempted from corvee taxes, but they can also join the Royal Manufacturing Bureau and become royal craftsmen, specializing in the research of new armaments and promoting the continuous upgrading of the Ming Dynasty's armaments!"
"Low-level craftsman apprentices need to work hard, undertake basic functions such as labor and taxation, accumulate experience in practice, and then improve their salary through union ratings."
After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with this method.
The Royal Manufacturing Bureau brought together top craftsmen from all over the country to continuously innovate the Ming Dynasty's armaments, ensuring that the central court's armaments far exceeded those of the surrounding foreign countries and even overseas vassals.
As long as the central court's force is far superior to theirs, there won't be any big trouble!
Zhu Di was silent for another moment, then recalled the shepherding plan and spoke out Hu Guang's proposal.
He was originally a little worried that the second child would not accept the termination of his shepherding plan, but unexpectedly, the bastard burst out laughing after hearing this.
"Dad, that Lao Shizi plan is just nonsense I made up. You won't take it seriously, will you?"
"How can it be so easy to change the topography? Let alone three to five years, seven or eight years, even if it takes decades, it will not be effective. It will require at least a hundred years of initial investment!"
"The reason why I said that at the beginning was just to stop you from the Northern Expedition, but it turned out that you went on the Northern Expedition anyway, and asked me to supervise the country's governance. After all this trouble, Lingbei is about to be conquered, and you still have to do it. Shepherding plan..."
Zhu Di: "!!!"
Fengyang!
Fengyang must be assigned!
This traitor is really full of rebellion!
"Second brother, I heard that there is some unrest in Fengyang recently. Why don't you go over and take a look for yourself..."
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
Forehead.
Too sloppy.
I got carried away.
I’ll go to your uncle’s Fengyang!
"Ahem, Dad, let's talk about business, don't say those angry words."
"If you don't go to Fengyang, dad will feel very unhappy!"
"Old man, please don't push me. If you push me again, believe it or not, I will push down Fengyang's high wall?"
Zhu Di: "???"
Your uncle!
Are you so arrogant now?
Do you still think of your father and me as the emperor?
Nizi, nizi, this is the treasonous son who is completely rebellious!
The father and son stared at each other, neither of them willing to admit defeat for a while.
After a long time, Zhu Di was defeated, turning his old face sideways and sulking.
Zhu Gaoxu laughed twice when he saw this, "Dad, let's talk about the war situation in the East China Sea and Nanyang?"
Zhu Di didn't look back, and said quietly: "It is certainly a good thing for you to let the kings go and expand the territory."
"But have you ever thought about which front the Ming Dynasty is now fighting on? Arms are not bad, mainly food and grass!"
"Once the supply of food and grass is not available, chaos will occur in an instant. How long can the Ministry of Household Affairs hold on to the small amount of food stored?"
Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and his expression changed slightly.
The current level of grain production in Ming Dynasty is indeed somewhat difficult.
The army goes to foreign lands and can be self-sufficient through looting in the later stage, but the food and grass in the early stage must be supplied in time.
After all, people have to eat. If you don’t eat, you won’t have the strength. How about fighting with your head?
But now, Northern Xinjiang, East China Sea, Nanyang, Southern Xinjiang and other places are all at war. With the war on the four fronts of the Ming Dynasty, once the supply of food and grass is not available, big trouble will really happen!
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu said to himself: "Nanyang and southern Xinjiang are relatively easy to say. Rice crops three times a year. It is not difficult for them to be self-sufficient."
"The East China Sea is not a problem either. Penghu Jilongshan and the Ryukyu Kingdom can be won almost without a fight. As for the Japanese Kingdom, let Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Zheng He have the headache."
"In fact, among the four front lines of the battlefield, the Northern Expedition lost the most money and food. First, the logistics supply route was too long, so the transportation of young civilians was time-consuming and laborious. Second, the Northern Expedition had too many people, totaling 200,000 including auxiliary troops. Human rations are a huge expense for the imperial court. Thirdly, there is no food plundered from the grasslands, so we cannot be self-sufficient..."
"So the problem now is that the Northern Expedition army must conquer Lingbei as soon as possible and cannot delay it any longer!"
Zhu Di listened quietly to his second son's analysis and showed a pleased smile.
"Now that you have figured it out, let me leave this battle with Lin to you..."
"Dad, don't worry, where are those two little bastards? Where is my eldest nephew and thief? Where are they having fun?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked around, but did not see his grandson Zhu Zhanji, and he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Damn it, Yao Guangxiao, that troubled monk, can’t really be so accurate, right?
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then explained: "Didn't your kit say that Tuohuan must be killed? After we defeated Oala, Mahamu and others resisted desperately and covered Tuohuan with four thousand cavalry. Luan ran away, and my father asked Zhan Ji and Zhan He to lead their young troops to chase Tuan Huan away..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt horrified and stood up suddenly in shock.
"Old man, are you confused? Those two little bastards, together with the 7,000 cubs, are all babies with no combat experience. This is their first time on the battlefield. You want them to chase and kill them? I don’t even know how he died!”
What a joke, let a group of dolls chase and have fun!
What kind of character is Tuhuan?
The heroic Lord of Wala, who laid the foundation for his son's hegemony, was a heroic figure who conquered the east and west to unify Mongolia!
Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe, these two little bastards, together are not enough for him to have fun alone!
Damn it, these two little bastards, isn't something really going to happen?
Zhu Di was suddenly sprayed with anger, and his saliva splashed on his face. Emperor Yongle suddenly became furious.
"Bastard! I asked them to hunt down a lost dog to train them. Is it wrong? Didn't you say that you would let the young army go out with the army to train them?"
"Exercise? Did I ask you to exercise like this? Wait until they are beaten to death by being teased, then you will regret it!"
Zhu Gaoxu replied angrily, and then asked: "Where did they go? In which direction did they go?"
Seeing this situation, although Zhu Di was puzzled, he still suppressed his anger and gave Zhu Gaoxu a copy of the intelligence map that was originally given to Zhu Zhanji.
"This is the whereabouts of Tu Huan discovered by Jin Yiwei..."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave now, catch up and have a look!"
"Second brother, what happened? Do you want to bring the imperial army with you..."
"No, Dad, set off immediately and push forward!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu rushed out of the tent and galloped away with Wanqi a moment later.
Zhu Di walked out of the big tent, looked at his hurried back, and suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
What's the problem with that bereaved dog getting out of love?
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
Recalling the solemn look on his second son's face when he left, Zhu Di's heart suddenly became uneasy.
This feeling has never happened before!
"Xue Lu, order the three armies to set off immediately and move forward!"
