Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 197: Franc Cannon!!!

When Lan Yu told Yan King Zhu Di before, Yan King Zhu Di actually didn’t take it too seriously, although he was shocked, he didn’t go too far in his heart.

First, he knows Lao Qi, this guy is very lazy, not like a person who plots big things.

The second and most important reason is that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, does not believe much in the art of face-to-face, if you can see whether a person is loyal or traitor simply by face-to-face, then in the court, directly arrange a face-to-face master to give all ministers face-to-face, wouldn’t it be possible to put an end to such a thing as Hu Weiyong.

But at this moment, Yao Guangxiao also said such a reason, suspecting that Lao Qi’s intention to rebel. This made Yan King Zhu Di extremely shocked.

Although this Yao Guangxiao is a monk, he is actually a person with great skills, his grasp of the situation, insight into people’s hearts, etc., are far beyond superhuman beings, he is proficient in the three schools of Confucianism and Buddhism, and is by no means an idle person.

Yan King Zhu Di was silent and half-spoken.

If Lao Qi, if he really wants to plot a rebellion, what he wants is nothing more than the throne, and as long as he is the prince of the throne, it is impossible to have no thoughts.

He Zhu Di also moved his mind, but he didn’t dare, first of all, because the crown prince Zhu Biao’s position as crown prince was very stable, and Zhu Yuanzhang had long established the position of prince in order to prevent brothers from killing each other.

In addition, Prince Zhu Biao is the eldest brother, and he does not take less care of the brothers, especially like the previous younger brothers, they are all brought up by the eldest brother, and they have deep brotherhood, so they can’t ~ fight each other.

If he tried to rebel, he didn’t need the prince Zhu Biao’s hand, and Zhu Yuanzhang would directly chop him up.

But thinking about it and doing it are completely different things.

I have all moved such thoughts, and it is not impossible for Lao Qi.

But if he really stockpiles up troops and secretly builds a large number of weapons, this matter is worth talking about.

Even the Yan King Zhu Di did not dare to be too blatant, except for recruiting some soldiers and horses, the city wall did not move, and the grain and grass were not accumulated.

And these soldiers and horses recruited now, in fact, are mainly used to deal with the Northern Yuan.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan King Zhu Di frowned and said, “Even so, Old Seventh may not really dare to rebel.

In the past two years, Jinyiwei was all over the Daming Dynasty, and we had a lot of them in Beiping, and Qingzhou City must be indispensable. If it is impossible for Old Seven, it is absolutely impossible.

What’s more, now that Lao Qiyuan is in Qinzhou to open up territory and make great achievements for my Daming, how can I doubt him?! ”

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: “Your Highness don’t worry, I’m just saying a possibility.” However, this does not prevent His Highness from building construction in the fief, building city walls, and hoarding grain and grass, and it is always good to be prepared. ”

Yan King Zhu Di frowned and said, “Is it really necessary?” Now the area around Liaodong has been laid down by us, and it won’t be long before the entire Northern Yuan is ours, and if any enemy comes from the north, he must first pass through the pass of Liaodong and Liaoxi. ”

In the past, Peiping was regarded as the gateway to the north and was vulnerable to invasion by strong enemies in the north, but now the area around eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning has been included.

Moreover, the scope of the north is still expanding, and the northern plain has become an internal city, and the level of defense will be reduced.

Yao Guangxiao dipped his finger in tea and drew a few circles on the table.

“Your Highness, this is the land of Qi, here, is Liaodong, this land of Qilu has been occupied by His Royal Highness King Qi and the son of King Qi, and the second son of His Royal Highness King Qi has now become the King of Liaodong.

Your Highness, your fief is stuck in the middle. If His Royal Highness King Qi did not oppose his heart, it would be better to say. If there really is, the first to bear the brunt is His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Yan King Zhu Di couldn’t help but laugh: “King of Liaodong? Is he weaned now?! ”

Yao Guangxiao wiped the tea on the table and said lightly: “Your Highness, plan ahead, absolutely right.” Even if His Royal Highness King Qi has an antipathy, he will not choose to do it at this time. ”

Yan King Zhu Di frowned and said, “Then when will he be?” ”

Yao Guangxiao leaned forward and said to Zhu Di, King of Yan: “Your Highness, I watch the heavens, peek at the heavens, and above the court, there will be a major change in the future, maybe three or five years, or ten years.

Daming Guozuo will experience a catastrophe.

His Highness can make some preparations in advance and take the initiative, even if it is used for self-protection, it is also good. ”

Yan King Zhu Di was shocked.

Daming Guozuo, will experience a catastrophe?!

“What catastrophe?”

Yao Guangxiao sighed: “The heavenly machine is unpredictable, you can only explore one or two, how can you see the whole picture.” ”

King Yan Zhu Di was a little regretful, but his heart was loosened: “But if I raise and strengthen the city wall, my father and emperor will blame me?” ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: “Since His Royal Highness King Qi can expand the city wall and create such a strong city, His Royal Highness King Yan, why not?” ”

The reason is very simple, to put it bluntly, if the court really has an opinion, you must first act on His Royal Highness Qiwang, otherwise it will be too unfair.

The reason why King Yan Zhu Di had some concerns was because the city wall built by His Royal Highness King Qi in Qingzhou City was really not ordinarily high and wide, and only Ying Tianfu could match it.

Such an outrageous city wall, made by himself, he was afraid that the court would really make some waves.

However, the city wall is mainly used for defense, and with Lao Qi’s blocking in front, presumably, it will not make too much trouble.

Yan King Zhu Di gritted his teeth: “Okay, just listen to the monk.” ”

After descending the mountain, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent a letter to the Marquis of Jiangyin.

Basically, I want to ask a group of craftsmen from Qingzhou City to help expand the city of Beiping.

In addition, we will purchase a large amount of cement.

As for bricks and the like, it is good to say that Peiping can also get it, but cement is only available in Qingzhou City.

Now Qinzhou City, Jiangyin Marquis replaced His Royal Highness King Qi and sat here.

Although it is said that there is nothing to do in Qilu Land on weekdays, it is better to inform Jiangyin Hou about this kind of thing, mainly this cement, which is really not good.

He has already sent people to inquire around, and he can’t buy it at all.

After Jiangyin Hou received the letter, he was slightly surprised, the place in Beiping, he knew, the city wall was renovated, it didn’t take long at all.

This His Royal Highness King Yan, suddenly, why did he expand the city?

And between the lines, Jiangyin Hou can basically judge, mainly for the city wall.

King Zhu Di of Yan is likely to want to build a city wall like Qingzhou City.

He didn’t think in the direction that King of Yan Zhu Di might rebel.

Just recorded this matter, waiting for the next time to pass the news to Qinzhou Mansion, let the owl bring it over and inform His Royal Highness King Qi.

Then, he replied to His Royal Highness King Yan. In general, it means that there is no problem with craftsmen and masonry and other materials.

Only the cement is gone, and he told King Yan Zhu Di that this cement is a very expensive and scarce thing, and when His Royal Highness King Qi leaves, there will not be much left.

Most of the cement has been used in Yingtianfu, and there is no new cement available.

When the news was transmitted back to Beiping, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, looked at the letter and felt a little strange.

Why is it that when Qingzhou City is expanding vigorously, the cement is like it can’t be used up, and when it comes to itself, it is gone?

For cement, Zhu Di has already understood that the city wall built through cement will be stronger!

He said no, that’s fake!

Yan King Zhu Di still had some disbelief, sent people to Qingzhou City to inquire, and then looked around the market to see if he could buy cement, and the information returned was that the cement was indeed gone.

Qingzhou City is also useless now, and some of the newly built houses and workshops do not use cement.

Yan King Zhu Di believed it, but he was a little puzzled, because he knew very well that almost all the buildings in Qinzhou Mansion used cement.

But to say that Lao Qi’s intentional refusal to sell it to him is not very reliable, after all, Lao Qi’s is now far away in Qinzhou, and he doesn’t know about it at all.

In addition, this cement shortage has been going on for some time.

If you think about it, you can only give up.

After all, it is really unreliable to transport cement back from Qinzhou, this thing is too bulky, and the sea is wet, and the road is far away, which is easy to deteriorate.

The only way to do it is to expand the city walls.

This specification is according to Qingzhou City.

After much hesitation, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, finally decided to build a new city wall on the periphery, just like Qingzhou City, one new and one old, two sets of city walls.

By the way, it will also expand the area of Beiping by about three times.

This did not dare to learn from Qingzhou City, expand 10 times, Yan King Zhu Di felt that it was really unnecessary, Beiping would not have such an influx of population.

But three times as much, it should be about the same.

Now the Northern Yuan will soon be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, the people of the Northern Yuan will frequently trade with the Central Plains.

And Peiping is likely to become an important trade center, it will definitely be more prosperous than it is now, and after making up your mind, start construction!

If other cities expand the city walls, this matter needs to be reported to the court.

However, Beiping was originally a fief of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and his mansion was here, and strengthening the city wall was also one of his duties, so there was no need to report.

Directly sent people to start construction, it was also built to 30 meters high and 4 lanes wide, exactly the same as Qingzhou City.

On the other hand, they began to privately recruit soldiers and horses.

First of all, it is necessary to make up for the lost soldiers and horses in recent years and reach a state of full strength.

Subsequently, a little more increase.

As long as the imperial court does not speak, his soldiers and horses will only be much more!

And this matter is more hidden, and the Yan Royal Mansion directly distributes military salaries and strengthens perimeter prevention and patrols, and it is not easy to attract the attention of the imperial court.

In addition, it is a wide accumulation of grain and grass, now Daming itself is relatively rich, and this fief of King Yan, close to the land of Qilu, has also been stained with some light, potatoes and sweet potatoes and the like, have long begun to be planted in a large area, and the people are relatively rich.

Commercial circulation is also frequent, and the purchase of some grain and grass, as long as there is money, is not a matter of anything.

In addition, Yan King Zhu Di is also thinking about doing more business and making more money in case of emergency.

Even if it can’t reach the scale of the Qi Royal Mansion, he must have several million taels of spare silver taels in his hand at any time, and his heart is steady.

As for the eldest son, Zhu Gaoji, King Yan’s apprentices also tightened their supervision, and they were not allowed to eat more than a bite on weekdays.

Therefore, a very peculiar scene appeared in this Yan King Mansion, and whenever it was time to eat, Zhu Gaoji had to memorize an article before he could open the meal.

If you want to eat well, you have to carry a lot.

It’s strange to say that the article that he couldn’t memorize once was originally memorized once, but now, Zhu Gaoji actually memorized it in only a short time.

This made Yan King Zhu Di very speechless.

What a foodie!

This Zhu Gaozhi not only failed to lose weight, but gained even more weight than before, which shows how fast his academic progress is!
