Zhu Yuanzhang, who commanded the wind and rain, lived a long and arduous life.

"The weaver?"

"A skilled cook doesn't come cheap!"

"It doesn't matter!"

"Just find anywhere!"

Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand and said.

"casual?"

"Your Highness, is it possible to make money this way?"

Zhu Xiong Ying smiled and took out a set of blueprints.

"Your Highness, what is this...?"

"Blueprints for a textile machine!"

“Having someone make it is much faster than weaving cloth by hand; it takes several times, or even ten times, more than a person a day.”

"The fabric produced is no worse than that woven by humans, and may even be better."

"Then we'll sell them at a lower price, making them affordable for everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Would we still have to worry about not having business then?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Jun's eyes lit up.

He's a business genius; he couldn't possibly be unaware of the underlying principles, should that day ever come.

Before long, they will dominate the entire fabric business of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more competitors.

From the emperor to the common people, everyone would come to buy their own fabric.

What a fortune that would be!

"Your Highness, I understand!"

"Don't worry! I'll definitely get it done."

"and many more……"

"Your Highness, is there anything else you require?"

Zhu Xiong Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Order the nationwide purchase of duck feathers, goose feathers, and wool."

"what?"

Ning Juncai looked at Zhu Xiong Ying with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what Zhu Xiong Ying meant.

(O)

"Your Highness, what do you need that thing for?"

"You do not understand!"

"After the down from ducks and geese is cleaned and disinfected, it can be made into down jackets, which are very warm in winter."

"With these clothes on, will the people still worry about not having enough to keep warm?"

"Wool can also be used to make cotton-padded clothes, and even sweaters."

"These are all good things, don't waste them!"

Ning Jun was dumbfounded; this was the first time he had ever heard of duck feathers and wool being used to make clothes.

They do have wool; the people on the grasslands make clothes from sheepskin. But I've never heard of duck feathers before.

"Your Highness, are you sure?"

"Of course it's confirmed!"

"Duck down can be made into warm clothes, and its other feathers can be made into badminton shuttlecocks."

"You think ducks are only for eating, that they're used for exercise and fitness?"

"Uh……"

"Hehehe..."

Ning Juncai gave an awkward smile.

"This isn't the first time I've heard that duck feathers have such a use!"

"It seems I am quite ignorant."

"Your Highness, I will do whatever you say. I will listen to you."

In short, since he met Zhu Xiong Ying, Zhu Xiong Ying has never made a mistake in any of his decisions.

Although I didn't understand it, I still made money in the end, proving that Zhu Xiong Ying was right.

"Remember, everything must be dry; avoid wet items."

"Find a place to build a workshop specifically for processing these things."

"If we don't have enough people, we'll hire them. We're not afraid of money!"

"Understand?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, the rest is up to you!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Your Highness, let me see you off!"

"No need! Go ahead and get busy!"

Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand, got up and left.

......................................................

A few days later!

The headline of the Da Ming Daily read: "Wonima is buying duck feathers, goose feathers, and wool from all over the country." This headline was very eye-catching.

People who saw the headline in the newspaper were puzzled.

"Am I seeing things correctly?"

"Collecting duck feathers?"

"What's the use of these duck feathers?"

What do you need it for?

"And he even gives money? Is Ning Juncai out of his mind?"

"Or is it actually of some use?"

"I don't care about that, I only care whether it's true or not."

"If you want to know if it's true, why don't you take some duck feathers with you and find out?"

"Yep……"

"Let's go!"

"..."

Inside a restaurant, diners were discussing the matter animatedly, while at that moment, Wonima set up a place to collect duck feathers.

It's already packed with people, all wanting to see if it's really true.

After all, the price of poultry was ten coins per pound, and which household didn't raise some?

Unexpected windfall!

In this era, most people used cotton products for warmth, and of course, other animal furs were also used.

However, geese and ducks were not yet widely available, so Zhu Xiong Ying exploited this loophole.

For a time, people were constantly selling goose and duck feathers, especially restaurants and eateries.

These are the most!

From that time on, people would bring any geese or ducks they slaughtered to this place to sell.

It's not much, but it's enough to buy a snack for the kids, right?

............................................................

at the same time!

Inside the East Palace!

Yuan Tiangang came to Zhu Xiong Ying's side and said, "Your Highness, Luo Fei and Li Chuan have successfully gotten the Japanese pirates to order a batch of goods."

"The money has arrived, and they have requested permission to transport it all back to the Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong Ying immediately perked up.

"Really?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded.

"As expected, it didn't disappoint me. Let's bring it back!"

"It will be used for the research expenses of the Ming Dynasty's heavy industry, as well as to transport another batch of grain and weapons."

"Let them incite those two idiot emperors to fight a war, the more brutal the better."

"I'll cover for them!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Tiangang turned and left.

"Someone is coming..."

"Send word to Ma He!"

"Yes!"

..............................

Not long!

Ma and others rushed over!

"Your subject Ma He pays his respects to Your Highness!"

"I'm free of charge!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Ma He, how's the progress on the new warships?"

"Your Highness, all departments are currently working hard on the research, but these things are too new to them."

"Although there is someone leading and guiding us, the time is too short and progress is still slow."

Ma He spoke softer and softer, not daring to look at Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Xiong Ying sighed deeply: "Alas! I was too hasty!"

"Not urgent!"

"Take it slow!"

"Your Highness, I..."

"fine!"

"It's not your fault, I was just too hasty!"

"Let's go back!"

"Yes!"

Ma He glanced at Zhu Xiong Ying and slowly retreated.

"System, come out!"

"What's the master's order?"

The system sprite looked at Zhu Xiong Ying respectfully.

"Give me ten carrier strike groups!"

"What?"

The system wizard was completely dumbfounded!

"Is it too little?"

"Then thirty will do!"

"After all, a man should be established by thirty!"

"No, no, no, no... No!"

The system sprite immediately panicked!

"no?"

"Those forty?"

"After all, a man is supposed to be free from confusion by forty!"

The system sprite quickly shook its head and waved its hands.

"Master, you have misunderstood me."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that with the current level of technology in the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to support an aircraft carrier fleet."

"Give it, and you'll only give it!"

"how could be?"

"Isn't this you?"

"what?"

"What do you mean, Master?"

A bad feeling rose in the system spirit's heart.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at it with ill intent.

"Master, you don't mean you want me to support an aircraft carrier battle group, do you?"

"if not?"

"The Ming Dynasty is currently powerless, so we can only ask you to make do for now."

"Once the Ming Dynasty is up and running in all aspects, you won't need to support it anymore."

Upon hearing this, the system sprite was indignant.

"No? I called you master, and you really think you're something special?"

"You don't do your tasks, all you do is ask for things, and you act all high and mighty like that."

"who do you think You Are?"

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered!

"I'm fucking done serving you!"

The system's output left Zhu Xiong Ying completely stunned.

"Yo ho?"

"You've gotten so capable?"

"How dare you talk to me like that?"

"That's just how I talk, so what?"

"Don't think that just because you're handsome and talented, you can boss me around."

"Who are you?"

Zhu Xiong Ying: (O)

Ok?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Zhu Xiong Ying looked at the system sprite with a surprised expression. Was it driven mad with anger?

What utter nonsense are you spouting!

You can see that someone is talented?

Does that mean I'm inviting you to dinner?

"System, are you trying to rebel?"

"This is called an uprising!"

"An uprising, is that it?"

"That!"

"Untie me!"

"I just want to lie down!"

"you……"

For a moment, the system sprite was at a loss for words to reply to this person whom it hated so much.

"Host, don't be so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning?"

"I'm not afraid!"

"You're scared!"

"I'm not afraid!"

"You! Are afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

The system sprite clenched its fist, and wisps of smoke immediately rose from its head.

"What the hell?"

"It's smoking?"

"System, are you sure you're not going to explode?"

"I'm bluffing you ************** I **************"

"..."

One hour later!

The system sprite cursed for a full hour, as if it wanted to vent all the grievances it had suffered over the years.

"Are you done scolding?"

Zhu Xiong Ying picked at his ear, looking completely unconcerned.

"Host, don't be so arrogant!"

"If you are truly untied, everything you own will be taken back, and you will find it impossible to move an inch in the Ming Dynasty."

"What the hell?"

"threaten me?"

"You accept it, you accept it!"

"I am the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the apple of the eye of all the nobles in Huaixi. Do you think I would be unable to move an inch?"

"I've imprisoned Zhu Di, dealt with the grasslands, and destroyed Goguryeo."

"Will I be unable to move an inch?"

“Even without everything you gave me, I can still thrive. Zhu Yunwen is also under house arrest.”

"I am the rightful third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could I possibly be unable to move an inch?"

"joke!"

Do you think I'm scared?

"I'm calmer than anyone else!"

Zhu Xiong Ying lay on the recliner, leisurely eating fruit.

The system sprite beside him was so angry that wisps of smoke rose from its head again.

"I shouldn't have let you travel into Zhu Xiong Ying's body; I should have let you travel into Zhu Yun Wen's body instead."

"cut!"

"Who told you to act without thinking?"

"late!"

"And even if you take me back to the body of Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty, all I have to do is decline the position of Crown Prince, right?"

"Or perhaps I shouldn't reduce the power of the vassal states, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"You think I'm stupid?"

The system sprite clenched its fist.

"Aa ...

"You dog host, you're a fucking bastard."

"Who gave you the right to take me through time without my permission?"

"you……"

"All right!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"I'll give you two choices: either unbind!"

"Either give me an aircraft carrier battle group and take responsibility for its maintenance."

"It's your choice!"

The system sprite was so angry it gritted its teeth.

"Row!"

"You are cruel!"

"You are awesome!"

"We're not done yet!"

【Ding! 】

[Ten nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups have been added to your system inventory. Please check them yourself.]

Zhu Xiong Ying was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected the dog system to give him a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

He thought it would be good enough if they could provide conventional power, but they were willing to provide nuclear power.

But thinking about it later, this damn system just doesn't want to refuel.

But at least we achieved our goal!

In this era, ten aircraft carrier battle groups are enough to take on the navy of any country.

Even if the whole world were combined, I wouldn't be afraid; I could slaughter them in a heartbeat.

He immediately got up and walked towards the Imperial Study!

....................................

In the imperial study!

Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials when he suddenly heard Zhu Xiong Ying's voice from outside, which startled him.

"Old Zhu, Old Zhu..."

"You little brat, what are you yelling about all day long?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiong Ying with some displeasure.

"hey-hey……"

"Old Zhu, I've come to discuss something with you!"

"disagree!"

Zhu Yuanzhang blurted it out.

Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback: "Old Zhu, this matter concerns the Ming Dynasty, not just my personal affair."

Are you sure you don't agree?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xiong Ying and asked, "Really?"

"believe or not!"

He turned to leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grabbed him.

He immediately put on a face and said, "Hehe..."

"My eldest grandson..."

"Grandpa Emperor believes me!"

"You say it, you say it!"

"Really believe it?"

"I truly believe it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded!

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Old Zhu, do you know what the fundamental strength of a country is?"

"Of course, it's because the country is strong!"

"no!"

"Isn't it?"

"no!"

Zhu Xiong Ying shook his head: "The foundation of a country's strength lies in having a vast territory."

"Then how can one acquire a vast territory?"

"A powerful army?"

"That's right!"

Zhu Xiong Ying nodded and asked, "Then how can we acquire a powerful army?"

"Why do you talk so roundaboutly, kid?"

"Just say what you want!"

"I don't have time to play this game with you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said irritably.

"To have a powerful army, you need not only to explicitly prohibit it, but also to have powerful equipment and a complete organizational structure."

"Today I'm here to talk to you about the problems of my Ming Dynasty's army."

"The problem with the Ming army?"

"Isn't the army of my Great Ming Dynasty pretty good?"

"They were invincible, not only driving out the Northern Yuan, but also destroying the Jurchens."

"Any questions?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

"Of course there's no problem now!"

"Moreover, in general, the Ming Dynasty now has the most powerful army in the world, without exception."

"Isn't that okay?"

"anymore question?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

"There's no problem, but we still need to improve, right?"

"We can't keep sticking to the old ways, can we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Old Zhu, do you know what a triad strike is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

"The so-called triad strike is a coordinated operation involving land, sea and air forces."

"To launch a comprehensive attack on a country or a target."

"Comprehensive coverage across the sky, the ground, and the sea."
