Zhu Ying ran very fast. If he had the choice, he would not want to stay in Yunnan, not even for a moment... It's not that he doesn't like Yunnan, nor is he not used to the fungi in Yunnan, it's actually the person he cares about the most.
All in Yingtian.
Having lost his loved ones prematurely, he wished he could be with his family every moment.
On Zhu Ying's list, Lao Zhu, his wife, and Prince Zhu Biao are all his relatives, and the Zhang family are also on the list.
When Zhu Ying returned to Yingtian, the first thing she did was to visit Empress Ma.
"Your father has done a good thing. Mom will cook some of your favorite dishes."
Empress Ma, who had not cooked for several years, was very happy and prepared eight dishes for Zhu Ying. She also made a jar of more than 20 years of aged wine and filled a cup for Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying couldn't help being happy, and quickly thanked her, and then said: "Empress, my father and my eldest brother are traveling around, why don't you always follow them? If you go, I will follow you, let's have a happy reunion, then
How wonderful!"
Queen Ma did not speak, but pointed to her temples. Only then did Zhu Ying realize that Queen Ma's temples were gray. Only then did he realize that his mother was also over fifty years old.
Zhu Ying suddenly felt very uncomfortable. When he met Empress Ma, it was thirty years ago. He lost his mother. At that time, Empress Ma sewed and cooked for him and treated him as a son. To this day, Zhu Ying
Among the most precious collections in England are tiger head hats and tiger head shoes.
"Mother, you are getting old, and I am not young anymore. I don't plan to go out. I just want to grow old with you. It would be better than anything else if we could see you every now and then."
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Ying and sighed in her heart, "You have such a big foundation in Yunnan. I heard that you have made Yunnan several times bigger than before, so you just say you don't want it, so you don't want it?"
Zhu Ying nodded, "I really don't want it anymore. Nothing is better than family reunion. And if I can manage Yunnan to this point and dedicate my hands to the Ming Dynasty, I can repay you and my father for saving my life, and I will not eat the salary of the imperial court in vain."
Queen Ma couldn't help but sigh, this reward is a bit big!
Yunnan under Zhu Ying's rule was a bit like Peiping under Zhu Di's original control. It was a little bit in name, but upon careful calculation, it turned out to be astonishingly large.
First of all, the year before last, Zhu Ying finally opened up Burma and directly captured a large area of coast. Before that, he had already annexed Nanzhang and Siam.
In addition, Jiaozhi had been merged into the Ming Dynasty, and the isolated Champa had to agree to measure the acres of land and surrender the land.
In this way, the entire Indochina Peninsula was brought under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Ying also set up a port warehouse in Malacca to facilitate trade.
Furthermore, Lu Qiuyun and others funded by Zhu Ying have established a stronghold in the eastern part of Tianzhu, which is far away from the stronghold established by Zhu Di in the western part of Tianzhu, and there is a strong tendency to carve up Tianzhu.
Zhu Ying's development added approximately 1.5 million square kilometers to the Ming Dynasty.
Such a large piece of land generally has excellent water and heat conditions, fertile land, numerous forests, and underground mines full of treasures.
Now, half of all the wood needed by the Ming Dynasty comes from the north, supplied by Peiping and Liaodong, while the other half comes from Nanyang, and the high-quality wood provided by Nanyang is at least twice as expensive as Peking!
Champa, Siam, and Myanmar are all major food-producing areas. As long as they are developed properly, the Central Plains can be completely free from hunger.
This is not to mention the huge market and abundant raw materials that can be provided.
Such a huge treasure with endless potential, completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty, will surely exert unparalleled value in the future.
But for Zhu Ying, he discarded it like worn out shoes and didn't care at all.
Empress Ma felt sorry for him, "Silly boy, you should save some, you have children and grandchildren, you have to think about them. If you can't get rid of it, I will go and tell Your Majesty that no matter what, you can't let your family suffer!"
"Don't!"
Zhu Ying waved her hand quickly, "Mother, please don't bother. In fact, I have already thought about it."
"Have you thought about it? What have you thought about?" Queen Ma hummed.
Zhu Ying was calm and said with a smile: "My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I really don't want to make the decision for them, and I have to do it myself with fear and trembling. If they don't do it, they will harm the country and the people. I can't be sorry for the Ming Dynasty."
I'm sorry to the soldiers and people."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying lowered his voice and said with a smile: "You old man will not forget it, my eldest brother didn't leave anything for his sons!"
Empress Ma frowned, and then sighed: "That kid Shu Ning is so focused on teaching that he cares about everything. Chengtian is willing to be an official, but he is still in Jiangxi and is still a petty official. As for the third and fourth sons,
, I have just become enlightened, I think the Grand Master is not too busy."
Zhu Ying chuckled and said: "He is not busy, and I am not busy either...Mother, Zhu Chun is already in the Guards Department. Chengtian will take care of him from now on. I will send the rest to the eldest brother to live with their family."
I don’t have to worry about the children together. This is like a bird flying with a phoenix, and a virtuous person being accompanied by a good person. Isn’t that what you always said?”
Queen Ma was stunned and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, you really tricked the Grand Master! What are your thoughts in the future?"
Zhu Ying said with a smile: "I don't have any ideas, I just want to be a rich and idle person!"
"Rich and idle man?"
"Yes, it's the kind of thing where you just idle around all day long, eat, drink and go around, watch a show if you have nothing to do, visit scenic spots, go fishing, raise a few eagles, train a few fine dogs, in short, do whatever is fun!"
Queen Ma frowned when she heard this, "Zhu Ying, this is a playboy. You are almost forty, why are you still like this?"
Zhu Ying quit now, "Mother, I'm almost forty, why don't you let me have fun? I've worked hard for so many years, and you always feel sorry for me!"
After saying this, Queen Ma was speechless.
It is not a good thing for an ordinary person to be a dandy, but Zhu Ying has outstanding achievements. He is willing to give up Yunnan and come back to eat, drink and have fun. There is really nothing wrong with him.
"That's not possible. I'm afraid you'll lead the children into mischief. Also, the court won't allow it."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying was still determined, "Mother, this is nothing, the worst it can do is stop my salary! Anyway, the wealth I have accumulated over the years is enough to spend."
Empress Ma frowned, "Are you determined?"
Zhu Ying nodded, there was nothing to discuss on this point.
As early as the beginning, he had said that after being adopted by Lao Zhu, he would become a rich young master and protect his elder brother.
Even though so many years have passed, Zhu Ying still remains true to her original aspirations. She wears a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes, strutting around on the streets, with the style of a young man.
Holding the yellow on the left, holding the blue on the right, carrying a bow with an arrow on the back, and carrying a fishing rod, this is the fun of adults.
Everything else is negotiable, but this matter is non-negotiable.
Queen Ma stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Let you go, but I would like to remind you, no matter how you play, you are not allowed to bully the good, otherwise, your father and I will deal with you severely!"
Zhu Ying said with a smile: "Don't worry, I still have my eldest brother! Besides, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Children still understand this truth."
Empress Ma also knew in her heart that Zhu Ying, even if it were God, would never really become a playboy and bully good people... That's all, just follow him!
After having a meal at Queen Ma's place, Zhu Ying went to see Zhu Biao again. There was nothing he could do. Zhu Biao wanted to oversee the regency, and Lao Zhu was not in the capital and was very busy.
Zhu Ying saw this and didn't have much to say. He just told Zhu Biao to balance work with rest and not to tire himself out.
"Brother, you also understand that now I am still the supervisor of the country... I have no other intention. I will try my best to take care of the world for my father. Once I have it in my own hands, I can breathe a sigh of relief."
Zhu Ying couldn't help but widen her eyes, "I said Zhu Biao, what are you talking about? Once you become the emperor, your true colors will be revealed, right? Do you want to imitate Emperor Sui Yang?"
Zhu Biao was frightened, "Brother, don't yell! Am I that person?" Zhu Biao could only say patiently: "You tell me, Zhu Xiongying is already over ten years old. In a few years, I will let him
As the regent of the country, can't I feel more relaxed now? This is also the ancestral precept of my father, and I have learned from it, right?"
Zhu Ying shook his head repeatedly after hearing this. He was dumbfounded. What are these people in the Zhu family doing?
Are you specifically trying to trick your son?
Using your son as a donkey?
He was too lazy to bother, so I hurried to meet my sister-in-law and see my two nephews.
Zhu Ying came to Taishi Mansion, but Jiang Nan arrived late. She was still busy at Daming Bank, and she was exhausted recently due to the establishment of a branch.
"That sister-in-law... do you know that I secretly received my eldest brother's salary for several years? I took advantage of him!"
Jiang Nan couldn't help but smile, "Why are you bringing this up? We are all one family, so don't let anyone out. Otherwise, if the news reaches your elder brother's ears, you will have to blame me."
Zhu Ying said sternly: "That's not okay! Sister-in-law, people say that brothers will settle accounts clearly. What's more, we are all officials of the imperial court and we can't do anything random. No, I'm here to pay the accounts."
While speaking, Zhu Ying turned around, and behind him, a long motorcade suddenly appeared, with no end as far as the eye could see!
Seeing this scene, Jiang Nan was also frightened. What's going on?
How much is this?
Even the most outrageous usury is not repaid like this!
Zhu Ying had a proud look on his face. Not long ago, Zhu Di collected so much gold and sent it back to Yingtian... Don't forget, he managed the Southeast Asian countries much earlier than Zhu Di.
And when it comes to money-making skills, he is no worse than Zhu Di.
When I studied with Zhang Ximeng, he didn't miss any classes!
Today, I can finally show off my skills!
Not to mention the mundane items such as gold, silver and jewelry, Zhu Ying held a huge rosewood box in his hand. After he unfolded it, a sparkling light suddenly appeared. A gemstone about the size of a fist was inside!
"Sister-in-law, this thing is said to have been found in a Tianzhu mine. It's called the Mountain of Light. It passed through several hands and ended up with me. Nothing else. My eldest brother's family cannot live without a precious treasure. Please do whatever it takes.
I have to accept it too." With that said, Zhu Ying presented the rosewood box to Jiang Nan with both hands...
