When Dorgon was there thinking about how to use cede land to please the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guoqiang, who had returned to Nanjing, continued his days of not doing his job properly.

As soon as he returned to Nanjing, he led a group of nobles to the Royal Hunting Ground in Laoshan, Pukou. This Laoshan is the remnant of the Huaiyang Mountains. Although the mountain is only four or five hundred meters, it has dense vegetation and is located in the north of the Yangtze River. It is not as hot as Nanjing City in summer. It not only allows you to escape the summer heat, but also has many hot springs on the mountain. You can escape the summer heat and take hot springs in winter. This day is simply...

So here we set the capital in Nanjing, and there Zhu Guoqiang asked someone to build the Li Palace in Laoshan to find a peaceful place for him. Just like Emperor Zhengde's Leopard Garden, this Li Palace is larger in scale and a hundred miles away! Compared with the small palace in Nanjing, this Li Palace with mountains and levels is of course the best place to go.

In fact, in terms of convenience, it is naturally more convenient for Zhongshan outside Nanjing City. However, Zhongshan was occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had to "live" there for a long time after he left himself. It is not auspicious to go to "live for a long time" now. Besides, there are not many trees on Zhongshan, and there are no hot springs or anything else.

It is comparable to Laoshan there.

In addition, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is not as high as in the north of the Yangtze River. What Zhu Guoqiang wanted was not a small palace, but a large royal garden, which was not only a garden, but also a royal hunting ground. Zhu Guoqiang was planning to use this garden to bring the lifestyle of horse-riding hunting to the new nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

It is better to let the nobles ride horses and hunt together than to eat, drink and have fun, and force the women to rob them of the women...

More importantly, tigers resist and lose their lives if they are not careful. It is not important for young people to say whether they are morally polite. What is important is that if you accompany the emperor to hunt, you must understand martial arts.

Only when the nobles practice military exercises, the safety of the Ming Dynasty will be guaranteed in the future and ensure that the military will not be affected by civil servants. Civil servants should be in charge of general state affairs. If they are in charge of military affairs, something may happen. In the past, the Ming Dynasty used to denounce the killing of military generals and establish the authority of officials. If it expands in the future, the three armies will be ordered to stop and then strengthen their studies and eliminate the so-called racial extremes there, which will be a complete destruction.

There are such bad things and such bad things, but people don’t need to please votes... No, they don’t need to please the scholars in the world.

Riding a horse, setting a gun... dozens of people rode horses and galloped in the wilderness in front of Laoshan Mountain, rushing back and forth for a day. In the evening, when Zhu Guoqiang looked at the dozen or so baked prey there, he felt helpless.

"Duke Kang, how many prey did I kill today."

Duke Kang was Chen Wudi. He obtained this title through his great martial arts skills in rushing to Nanjing and was known as the number one honorary minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Go back to your Majesty, I have hunted a total of one wild boar, two deer, and sixteen hares..."

Chen Wudi's report made Zhu Guoqiang sigh.

Not as good as Kang Mazi.

"Oh, not as good as others,"

"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot today."

"You don't understand. I have heard that more than 300 hares were killed in one day..."

"Your Majesty, that man is so brave. How long does it take for a day? If you count too much, it will only be 12 hours at most. If you divide the number of more than 300 by twelve hours, that is, an average of two minutes, you will have to hunt a rabbit. He is hunting here and there! It is obvious that he has fallen into his nest!"

Qian Degong also echoed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is clearly falling from the rabbit's nest..."

The laughter suddenly sounded, and Zhu Guoqiang immediately felt relieved. He had to compare with that boy, who deserved to be called "The Emperor of Eternal Eternals". He had eaten bran and drank thinly. Fortunately, he and his Qing Dynasty were gone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of Yu Niang and Da Yu'er. They... had long been old and had spent the rest of their lives in the temple.

That night, in the palace, the prey he had just hunted was cooked into delicious food by the imperial chef. The heroes were like in the army, eating meat and drinking wine. When the wine was in full swing, Chen Wudi even went on stage to play a sword dance to help him.

Let me add that I have been using a book reading app recently, [app] has many books, all books, and fast updates!

Gan Shengye treated them very kindly. Not to mention their salary, even the land of honor is enough for them to be rich for generations. Just like Duke Kang of Chen Wudi, he had 20,000 mu of honor land in Jiangbei and 10,000 mu of Shandong. In addition, there are 10,000 mu of seta land in Taiwan.

In addition to a large amount of land grants, there are other ways to make money. Your Majesty never forgot them. The first ten machine yarn mills in the Ming Dynasty had their shares, with honorary officials accounting for 60%, the royal officials 30%, and 10% given to Song Xuezhu, Zhang Bingwen and others as Long Civil Service.

This time, the reason why I invited Nanjing ministers to cross the river to hunt was not just for hunting. When Anna and Jessica were serving each other, Zhu Guoqiang smiled with a wine glass.

"This time I went on a tour, I heard from Anna that there is a Chinatown in Mexico. This is really beyond my expectations, so..."

Listening to the passionate music, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the honorary ministers present.

"I'm thinking that this Chinatown is just called China. This Amerika has thousands of miles of fertile land, but it doesn't have the Chinatown of the Ming Dynasty. It's really a pity. I heard Chau Wang mention that in this world, all the great powers are colonized by Amerika. My Ming Dynasty is the largest country today, but there is no stronghold there. It's a pity!"

"If your Majesty likes it, I will lead my troops to take this America for you tomorrow!"

The one who stood up and patted his chest to take the land for His Majesty was Prince Ye of Taining. He was also an old minister of the De Palace and the emperor's family. He was known as the "General of the Royal Family", and even his household registration was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This is the unique treatment of the "General of the Royal Household Family". Perhaps they are not slaves, but from the day they registered their household registration to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they have been royal "residents" for generations, royal family members, and their unique favors to them.

This is also what distinguishes them from ordinary ministers. In the court, they are definitely the emperor's confidants. Even their descendants are educated with the emperor's eldest son. In the future, when the prince settles in the country, their second son will go overseas as retainers of the prince.

If you tie the heroes and the royal family together for generations, you cannot compete with civil servants. After all, there are too many civil servants and too close relationships. What kind of teachers, mentors, classmates, and those of the same year, one of them is that the king is weak and the ministers are strong. This is not the strength of that person, but the strength of the entire group. Without checks and balances and losing balances, the country is almost over.

In the past, the emperor had to use internal officials, but internal officials were born to be no match for civil officials and not a long-term solution. It was better to rely on the imperial ministers. Let them fight, the emperor supports them and maintain balance. Just like when civil officials rely on their clans, fellow villagers, classmates, etc., they are suspected of controlling overseas interests, Zhu Guoqiang had to find ways to support the imperial ministers to participate in overseas interests.

Of course, there are also some honorary officials who focus on overseas trade, such as the Zheng family.

But just the Zheng family is not good enough. The entire group of honorary officials must be included in it. In the past, the plates in Nanyang were too small. As for the plates in India, the plates in North America have not yet begun. It is inevitable to become bigger, stronger and more brilliant. However, whether it is this plate or North American plates, the best choice is to be together.

At this time, of course everyone heard what His Majesty meant.

"Your Majesty is planning to use troops to Mexico? If that happens, you must first solve the Philippines!"

Chen Wudi thought about it and then said.

"First destroy their support points around us, and then send troops to an expedition."

"Expedition? Why fight? Make a request first!"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"To make a request to them, to go to Mexico and to trade in America, we set up a company, and this company is responsible for the trade in America..."

Rather than asking, it is a blackmail. After all, Spain is now a weak empire. Faced with such an empire, if you don’t throw yourself into it and take a few bites of meat, you’re really sorry for yourself.
