My Daming New Empire

Teaching in a small place allows students to concentrate on their studies and avoid all kinds of temptations.

Zhu Jianzhu, king of the Han Dynasty, and four other county kings who had made mistakes in the palace of the Han Dynasty were escorted to Beijing, and Zhu Zhanji ordered them to be imprisoned in the palace of Yingtianfu, and their duties were all inherited by his sons.

Everyone else is fine, but Zhu Jianzhu is a few years younger than Zhu Jianshen. He is only 26 years old this year, and his son is only seven years old this year.

It is simply a joke for a seven-year-old child to be in charge of the huge Han Palace. His power is controlled by Shi Yu Keding, the newly appointed head of the palace by Zhu Zhanji.

Yu Keding is the youngest son of Yu Qian, and his style is the same as Yu Qian's, he does not enter into oil and salt, and is extremely tough. With him in Xizhou, Han Palace will be hindered by the court in everything.

After Xie Yun returned to the capital, when he met the saint, he was promoted by Zhu Zhanji to be the fourth-rank left director of the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Guang Chu Division was changed from the Imperial Supervisor to take charge of the storage and distribution of various materials.Moreover, Director Zuo also has another important responsibility, which is to supervise the allocation of gold and silver by the bank.

Although the rank of this position is not high, it has a lot of power and is responsible for cumbersome affairs, which can train people.

As soon as Xie Yun took office, he faced an important task, preparing materials for the centennial celebration of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as this celebration is successfully held, Xie Yun, who is in charge of this matter, will definitely be promoted again.

And when Xie Yun took office, the speaker Xie Zhenqi, who was over seventy years old, submitted his resignation to Zhu Zhanji.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not agree. Instead, he sincerely persuaded him to stay and let him resign after the celebration.

At such an important time as the centennial celebration, Xie Zhenqi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is bound to leave another mark in history when he is in office.

So Xie Zhenqi thought twice and withdrew his resignation.

In May, just when everyone thought that the time of Han Wangfu had passed, Zhu Zhanji's last plan came down.

The Qijia Palace, which cooperated with the Han Palace to develop the mineral resources of Xizhou, was moved to Xizhou by Zhu Zhanji's order.

Originally, there were fifteen Prince's Mansions in Nanzhou, and most of them were desert areas with harsh environment.

However, Xizhou, which is much larger and richer in products, has only two palaces.

Now, taking advantage of the matter of the Han Palace, Zhu Zhanji moved seven palaces to Xizhou at once, increasing the number of palaces in Xizhou to nine, while leaving only eight in Nanzhou.

Except for the Han Palace, the other palaces were all overjoyed.Everyone knows that Xizhou is not only rich in products, but also has many Kunlun slaves, all of which are free labor.

In the face of the general trend, even if the King's Mansion of Han had opinions, they did not dare to raise them, so they could only swallow this bitter fruit.

For the common people of Ming Dynasty, this matter was just a trivial matter, and the relocation of the palace was not as important as the relocation of the university.

In the second half of the year, the daily broadcasts focused on one thing, and that was to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Clans and nobles from all over the country returned to Beijing to celebrate the grand ceremony.

In addition to them, there are also selected representatives of military heroes, ordinary people, and outstanding officials. Every representative who can return to Beijing to participate in the celebration has made outstanding contributions in their respective fields.

Their deeds have also attracted the attention of many people.

And Zhu Zhanji is also looking forward to it. What he is looking forward to is not the celebration, but the old people who have not seen each other for many years...

(Tomorrow's finale, many characters who haven't appeared for a long time will also appear in turn, and then there will be a postscript, I want to write a future overhead modern novel where most of the world is Chinese...)

(I recommend two books from my friends, one is the masterpiece "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Tyrant" by the Dog Emperor, which is several times better than mine. The other is the new book "The Capital Is Earth", old author, new work, worth a look.)

Chapter 50 The Old Man

"My son, the minister, pays his respects to his father..."

"Grandson pays respects to Grandfather..."

"Okay, okay, okay, get up quickly." Yang Zhangde stretched out his hand to help his eldest son, Yang Shichen, whose hair was also gray, and nodded to the group of grandchildren, daughters, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren in front of him.

After they got up, Yang Zhangde said to his eldest son: "It's been 12 years since we last met. How many 12 years have you had in this life... I have decided to resign from Your Majesty when I come back this time. From now on, the Yang family will rely on you." gone."

Yang Shichen was born in Yongle for 15 years and is 52 years old this year.But Yang Zhangde got married late and is 85 years old this year.

However, as a disciple of the Wudang layman, he has been practicing Kungfu all year round, and his body has always been in good condition.

Still in office at the age of 85, he is the oldest military general in the next generation.

Sitting in the Duke car driven by his family, Yang Zhangde leaned against the car window, looking out at the city he hardly knew anymore, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

From an abandoned disciple of Wudang to an extremely human minister today, he has no regrets in this life.

"Is there any news from His Majesty?"

"Yesterday, Li Yuan called the boy and asked about the time of his father's arrival. There must be news when he returns home soon."

Yang Zhangde nodded, and sighed: "I haven't seen Your Majesty for 12 years, so I think His Majesty will be 70 years old this year. I think the first time I met His Majesty, he was under 16 years old. It's been a long time!"

Yang Shichen said with a smile: "Now in court, as far as generals are concerned, only my father is still deeply loved by His Majesty."

But Yang Zhangde shook his head and said: "In terms of closeness, your father and I have been loyal all our lives, no one can match. But the disadvantage is that we don't study too much, and we will always be oppressed by other juniors in this life."

Although Yang Zhangde was granted the title of Duke Zhangde, this Duke is two points inferior to Yang Dao's Duke Donghai.As the admiral of Dongzhou North Continent, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person. It is Yang Zhangde's greatest regret not to be the governor in his life.

At this time, his sight was attracted by a new house outside the window. "Yo, this house is taller than the Tower of Truth, right?"

In the original Yingtian Mansion, all buildings could not exceed the 30-meter height of the main hall of Fengtian Temple.Only the Tower of Truth, the original Pagoda of Baoen Temple, broke through this height, reaching nearly 80 meters.

For decades, the Tower of Truth, as a symbol of Shinri Sect, has always been the tallest building in Yingtian Mansion, and no other building dared to surpass it.

Yang Shichen followed his father's line of sight and said with a smile, "That is the new headquarters building of the Commercial Bank in Xinjiekou, which was approved by His Majesty. It is 33 feet high."

Yang Zhangde asked: "It's so high, can it go to the water in the hut?"

Yang Shichen nodded and said: "The Ministry of Industry has developed a new type of supercharger, which is said to be able to send water to a height of 200 meters. It is also to test the new technology. His Majesty asked the commercial bank to try to build a [-]-meter-high building first. Accumulate technology in the future.”

Yang Zhangde looked away, and couldn't help sighing: "The power of truth is really great. Back then, there were very few houses in Yingtian Mansion with more than three floors. Now, houses with thirty floors can be built."

The car soon came to the corner between Piwa Lake and Zijin Mountain on the north side of the palace. Several Jingwei were stationed here. Blockbuster movies are the private world of concubines.

On the other hand, it is to protect the world's largest vault.

At the foot of Zijin Mountain somewhere, a huge cellar was excavated. This cellar has no other function, the only function is to store the gold that Daming brought back from all over the world.

Over the past few decades, most of the gold shipped back from around the world has been stored here, and it is said that nearly [-] tons of gold have been stored so far.

This is mainly because although gold is the legal currency of Ming Dynasty, its circulation is not large, because the purchasing power of silver coins is already quite astonishing.

Zhu Zhanji is very clear that, as one of the most stable metals in the world, gold is irreplaceable.Not to mention now, even after hundreds of years, the value of gold is still recognized by everyone.

If Ming wanted to maintain a strong position in the world and maintain the stability of the currency, the reserves of gold must be stable above an ideal reserve line.

For circulation, silver is enough. Compared with the scarcity of gold, the reserves of silver are much larger in the world.

Not to mention other places, Dongzhou alone can smelt more than [-] tons of silver every year.
