Seven years of the apocalypse, winter.
The policy of changing rice to mulberry was implemented very smoothly, and the second wave of mulberry leaves was also successfully harvested.
With mulberry leaves, there are more silkworm breeders, and the reason for this is mainly due to the large subsidies of the imperial court.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao was very generous and vigorously supported the sericulture industry!
And the household, who had always croaked poverty, also closed his mouth.
There is no way, who makes more money in the West, and the treasury has money.
In the past, the most common excuse for those who came out to block them was two words: "no money."
However, now the treasury, not to mention particularly rich, in short, is quite rich!
The main thing is that because there has been no war over the years, plus the West has made a lot of money, everything is stable.
Today, the Jurchens of eastern Liaoning are crippled, and the Mongol tartars are scattered.
Now, the largest nomads are the Dzungars.
Dzungar are very aware of current affairs, and seeing the Ming Dynasty becoming stronger and stronger, they also know that honesty is the last word.
The current khan of Dzungar had also bowed to the Ming Dynasty, and in addition, he often came to pay tribute with tribute.
They now have only one idea, that is, they hope to do business with the Daming Dynasty and use the cattle, sheep and horses they raise to exchange the necessities of life with the Daming Dynasty.
No way, nomads can't farm, they don't grow tea, they don't make ceramics, and they can't weave cloth.
If they want to get these necessities, they must either go south to grab them or exchange them for cattle and sheep.
In the current situation, it is impossible for the nomads to go south and rob it.
If they dare to rob it, the Ming army will directly send them to the western sky with one shot!
Therefore, these nomads can only honestly drive cattle and sheep to our Daming Dynasty to exchange things.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, because animal husbandry did not pay so much attention, it was also very necessary to need these cattle and sheep.
Under such circumstances, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols is quite harmonious.
Anyway, it's all about each taking what you need.
Isn't it good for you to exchange items willingly? Why fight and kill?
Of course, the most fundamental reason is because the fist of the Ming Dynasty is hard enough!
There was no war on the border, and the interior of the Ming Dynasty was also quite stable.
Especially with the construction of cement roads, the conscription system in the Ming Dynasty was almost completely abolished!
When the common people were not working, they either came to help build roads or went into the city to do odd jobs for the landlords and money.
Everyone has land, and every family has 003 grain!
In this situation of not worrying about eating and drinking, the people are peaceful and Kangtai!
In addition, where cement roads were built, "two-wheeled bicycles" and "three-wheeled bicycles" began to prevail.
And, of course, the love of "Xiangzi's" life: "two-wheeled rickshaw".
Especially in the prosperous Liangjing and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.
On everyone's alleys, from time to time, you can see the figures of these light vehicles.
At the same time as the popularity of two-wheelers and tricycles.
Spring March of the eighth year of the apocalypse!
The Ministry of Engineering developed the first, four-wheeled steam car!
After repeated experiments, tests, and quality inspections, the Ministry of Works dared to invite His Majesty the Emperor for merit!
After learning that the steam car was stable, Zhu Youxiao went to check it out with great interest.
Although he had seen the cars of the new era, like the old steam cars, he had only heard of them, but had not seen them.
As for the vague glance in the textbook, I forgot it long ago.
So he was very curious about steam cars!
Ministry of Engineering, test site.
The moment he saw the "four-wheeled steam car", Zhu Youxiao frowned...
"Your Majesty! This is a steam car, you see, how is this, isn't it cool? "
It was Shangshu of the Ministry of Works who spoke, and at this moment, he was very excited to introduce the fruits of the labor of everyone in the Ministry of Works to the boss of the emperor!
"Erm..."
Looking at the strangely shaped "steam car" in front of him, Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to describe it...
How to say it.
It's four wheels with a big gas canister on it.
He doesn't even know where to sit ...
No, he doesn't even know where to stand ...
How to say, this steam car, except for four wheels like a car, other places, and the car can be said to have no half-dime relationship!
Zhu Youxiao thought that this should be the most "initial form" of steam cars.
In his previous life, his modern history was not very good, and he had a vague concept of steam cars.
Suddenly seeing such a strange thing, I am somewhat unaccustomed to it...
Zhu Youxiao was speechless, but at this time, all the people in the Ministry of Works were full of hope, and their faces were full of "Your Majesty quickly praise us"!
He had to suppress the speechlessness in his heart, and turned to the soldier Shangshu and said, (ageh)
"You open one for Xuan to see."
He wanted to see how this big gas tank drove.
It turns out that this big gas tank can really be exercised.
With the sound of a "woo-woo" whistle, a lot of smoke began to float from the chimney above the large gas tank!
At the same time, the steam car started!
The two drivers could only stand behind the large gas tank to operate, and they did not know what they were doing.
It just looks busy anyway...
For a time, the whistle of "woo-woo" sounded in all directions, very noisy!
And the smoke from the mouth of the chimney of the steam car also spread around!
For a while, Zhu Youxiao felt as if he was in the oldest railway station...
"Your Majesty! What do you think? "
While driving, Shangshu of the military department shouted at the emperor boss very excitedly, and he was doing a big favor!
Zhu Youxiao didn't know if he was busy manipulating the direction, or adding coal to it, or what he was doing...
Anyway...... Just look very busy...
Moreover, the steam smoke that pervaded the surroundings was really difficult to see his specific operation.
"Hmm... It's pretty fast. "
Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, and could only give such an evaluation.
It seems that such a thing as steam is still more suitable for trains ...
As for cars...
Let's wait until the Ministry of Works develops the internal combustion engine ...
As a result, the Ministry of Works began to develop steam trains intensively.
On the other hand, the cement roads built by the Ministry of Communications are basically repaired.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, except for Yungui, which is less populous and more remote, almost all the roads of the other prefectures have been built with cement roads.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao ordered, next, the Ministry of Communications is ready to start building the railway!
After all, steam trains are going to be developed, and the rails can naturally fall!
The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Engineering, and the Ministry of Transportation are all busy!
With the planting of silkworms, the number of silkworm breeders increases, and so does the number of silk!
With silk, the silk output of Jiangnan Weaving Company has risen sharply!
The order volume of three million horses of silk was completed in April of the eighth year of the apocalypse!
It's a full two months earlier than originally planned in June!
A large number of cargoes were successfully loaded onto ships, fleets, personnel, munitions and equipment, everything was ready!
The third trip to the West during the year of the apocalypse officially set off in early May of the eighth year of the apocalypse! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
The fleet went out, steam trains took shape, railways were being built, and everything was developing in an orderly manner.
After working for nearly four years, Zhu Youxiao was finally able to breathe.
In the past four years, too many things have happened and too many changes have been made in the Ming Dynasty, so many that they can't be counted!
In short, he has been quite busy in the past four years.
Sometimes it's so busy that you don't even have time to touch the wood.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao helped him deal with some political affairs, he still had to make decisions about major matters, the emperor of the Apocalypse Dynasty.
In fact, in the past few years, only Zhu Biao has really helped Zhu Youxiao deal with political affairs.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he had moved out of the Forbidden City and bought a clean house outside the city that could grow vegetables and raise chickens, and lived with Empress Ma.
Occasionally, I will go to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Most of the time, Lao Zhu is basically holding the young Queen Ma, you non my nong, strong affection.
I'm not ashamed...
In this regard, Zhu Biao said: I didn't look at it.
Zhu Youxiao is: Just be happy.
Regarding the "old husband and young wife" of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, uninformed outsiders should only be: this is "crazy"!
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youjiao prepared to take a nap and take a break.
Just as he was about to lie down, he was pulled up by the old Zhu with a black face.
Old Zhu seemed to have suffered a great grievance, and when he came up, he was spit all over the place!
And the object of the spit is his daughter-in-law Empress Ma.
"Why do you say this woman is so troublesome! An old woman who is a little older psychologically, she is actually so careful with her eyes!
Didn't we just say a few words to a big sister, and she was angry!
Even if you are angry, you actually locked the door to prevent us from entering, and said that we were not disciplined!
Hey! When we were emperors, there were so many harem concubines, and we never heard her say a word of dissatisfaction!
Why is it that now she is like a grudge woman, seeing us talking to a woman, she is angry! "
Listening to Lao Zhu's complaint, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his ears speechlessly.
The reason why he was so speechless was because it was not the first time that Lao Zhu had complained to him about Empress Ma's "jealousy".
Since Lao Zhu had the magical BUFF of "Women's Friend", he has always attracted all kinds of married women around him.
Up to eighty or ninety, down to seventeen or eighteen, in short, the opposite sex is excellent.
Empress Ma doesn't mind her man marrying a wife and taking a concubine, but you're an old man who hooks up with married women all day long, what kind of thing is this?
Empress Ma expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.
Lao Zhu is still a lively person, and he likes to chat with other old women when there is nothing to do.
That's right, just old women, the kind above forty.
Because Lao Zhu really didn't have that fancy thought, he really just wanted to talk to the big sister who talked a lot and talk about it.
However, Empress Ma said that she could not understand this.
Because of this incident, these two people make trouble from time to time.
In this regard, Zhu Youxiao has become accustomed to it, and it is not strange.
"Yuxiao, do you say that there is a problem with your grandmother, or do we have a problem?"
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not say a word, and even looked like he was about to fall asleep, Zhu Yuanzhang asked a question again.
Zhu Youxiao: "I think, this thing... Tut...... How to say, anyway, I think... Alas, that's what it is..."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
How did he have a feeling that he listened, as if he didn't listen again...
"Otherwise, Grandpa Taizu, you go to Emperor Xingzong and tell him, he should have a way!"
Zhu Youxiao decided to kick this ball to Zhu Biao and let Zhu Biao, who was a son, solve it.
"Forget it, he asked us to come to you, he said you must have a way!" Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
Zhu Youxiao: "..."
Well, it seems that he was also kicked in the ball ...
Eight years in Chongzhen.
It was about half-past eleven.
Xiao Chongzhen is staying up late to criticize the book!
He has always been very hardworking and positive!
However, his positive, effective effect does not seem to be great...
In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period seems to have stabilized a lot.
Since the construction of the "Daling River", Liaodong has faintly shown signs that it can be recovered!
(There was a chapter earlier to write the repair "river set" is I wrote the string wrong, to be accurate is to repair the "Da Ling River", now I want to modify the chapter has no permission, sorry brother moe!) )
Now cannons, iron horses, guns, all ready!
Just wait for Huang Taiji to hit the door and send him to death!
However, what made Zhu Youzhen feel strange was that Huang Taiji, who was arrogant in the past and often went south to plunder, how could he be so honest in recent years?
Since Chongzhen's four-year "Battle of Daling River", the Jin army has been silent, as if it disappeared out of thin air.
In the past, they dared to detour through Mongolia to fight Jingshi, but now there is no movement at all?
Zhu Youzhen really felt puzzled, but when he wondered, he was more relieved.
Fortunately, his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao woke him up and made him pay attention to the emergency repair of the Daling River!
Otherwise, there would be no current solid defense line, and the confidence to destroy gold in one fell swoop!
Zhu Youjian also understood later that the Daling River was an important line of defense to shield Jinzhou!
If Daming wants to stabilize Liaodong, he must build this city!
If Jin wants to attack Ming, he must also demolish the city!
Da Ling He, for Daming, for Houjin, is a vital existence!
Zhu Youzhen is very glad that he has Zhu Youxiao, a good big brother, to remind him!
At the same time, he remembered that Zhu Youxiao had said that he would come to Chongzhen to help him when he had time.
"Alas..."
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh.
How many years he had been waiting, and he didn't wait for his eldest brother's people to come...
He's waiting for him...
Even if it is to open the chat group early, so that he can meet the eldest brother and ask him some difficult questions.
But four years have passed, and there is no movement to open a chat group...
Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to pack up, prepare to bathe and change clothes, and then pick a concubine to sleep.
It's too late, it's too soon!
Just as he stood up, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!
It seems that the door of some time and space has opened!
Zhu Youzhen's first reaction was what he had just thought!
Could it be that his eldest brother Zhu Youxiao heard his call and personally came to help him!
Just when Zhu Youzhen was about to shout "Little Daddy" to greet his eldest brother!
The clear face he saw in the next moment, but the corners of his mouth that made him raise high, slowly pulled down...
"Grandpa Cheng? How are you? "。
