Chapter 350 Ma Xiuying: Do you want to be like Zhu Han?
"Three hundred and fifty miles of railway are laid every year, which is indeed a little less."
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied with the speed of railway track laying. It was only 350 miles a year. Can he still see the emergence of this railway artery that runs from east to west?
How can we speed up the construction of railways?
After thinking about it, he finally found that it was population. With a large enough population, he could achieve his goal.
expansion!
Today, there are nearly one million prisoners of war in Europe, and Zhu Yuanzhang wants to drag those people to the northern grasslands and ask them to help lay railways.
Ma Xiuying could see Zhu Yuanzhang's eagerness. She also understood the importance of the railway artery to the Ming Dynasty, but she also knew that this kind of matter could not be rushed. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in a very urgent mood, Ma Xiuying comforted: "Don't be too impatient, now we are in a hurry."
We can only lay 350 miles of railways every year because we have insufficient raw materials and the proficiency of our workers is not up to standard. In the future, if they become proficient, we may be able to deploy more people and lay more railways.
.”
Ma Xiuying's comfort made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little better, but he still said: "To build factories, we need to build more steel plants and mobilize all available manpower! Qiwu is not willing to use local ores
...We can’t worry about so much now. At worst, when we have the opportunity in the future, we can just fill in the hollowed-out mine!"
Zhu Han was reluctant to use domestic resources, thinking that they had occupied overseas land, and plundering resources was a key part of it. Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient, and of course he did not want to delay. He decided to exploit domestic minerals first, and it would be a big deal later.
Then bring the ore from overseas and bury it underground.
If Zhu Han knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, he would definitely give him a thumbs up. No one else would think so.
Liaodong is developing very well, and a heavy industrial zone has been formed. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is anxious, he must develop in line with the actual situation. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said: "Lanyu doesn't know what to do for food. It took him so long to conquer Rome, why doesn't he want to do it?"
Development? Are you planning to become a local emperor outside? No, let’s write him a letter and give him a good scolding.”
"..."
Ma Xiuying: Lan Yu still doesn’t know what a train is, right?
But Zhu Yuanzhang obviously doesn't consider these things now. He just wants to vent his emotions and doesn't consider anything else at all.
As for scolding Lan Yu...you can scold him if you want.
Beating a child on a rainy day is nothing but leisure, and Lan Yu is also a bitch, so he won't feel at ease unless he is scolded.
After writing the letter scolding Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to tell Ma Xiuying the eight hundred miles sent from Yingtian: "We will let Biao'er supervise the country and Qiwu assist. These two people are in the court and just let it go."
, basically don’t interfere in the government affairs of the court.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied. He felt that as the prince and the future emperor, Zhu Biao should be diligent in his duties instead of leaving all government affairs to ministers.
No matter how capable the ministers are, they are not of the same mind as the royal family. How can Zhu Biao and Zhu Han leave important affairs of the court to the officials? Even if they are left to them, Zhu Biao still needs to understand.
When she heard Zhu Yuanzhang talking about family affairs, then... Ma Xiuying could no longer pretend that she couldn't hear him. She didn't participate in the affairs in the court, but Zhu Yuanzhang often talked in her ears, so Ma Xiuying was quite familiar with the affairs in the court.
"What are you complaining about? I told you before the July 5th Five-Year Plan that the government affairs of the court should be handled separately. It is you who insists on monopolizing the power."
He first complained to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "Qiwu did this to take care of Biao'er. Biao'er is still young and is growing up. If he has to deal with government affairs like you, his body will be exhausted."
I originally wanted to say that Qi Wu should help handle more government affairs, but he couldn't continue talking halfway through.
Considering Zhu Han's character, it is already a great thing that he can stay in Yingtian to help Zhu Biao. To expect him to do more work... is simply fanciful.
Ma Xiuying said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You are the emperor and Biao'er is the prince. You can do whatever you want, but you cannot ask Biao'er to be the same as you."
Everyone has his own way of being an emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot force Zhu Biao to do exactly the same thing as him.
Seeing Ma Xiuying's attitude, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say something more to defend his point of view, but had to shut up.
In terms of reasoning, Zhu Yuanzhang was no match for Ma Xiuying.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Forget it, I don't care what Qiwu and Biaoer do, but if we know that they are not doing well, we can't just watch them do whatever they want!"
To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't want to believe that Zhu Han could do this to people other than the 'old Zhu family', but once he found out that doing so was not good for Ming Dynasty, he would immediately stop Zhu Han from doing so.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want any turmoil in the Ming Dynasty that he had worked so hard to build.
Ma Xiuying said: "With Qi Wu here, it will only get better and better. Besides... Qi Wu has faded out of the court in recent years, but who can forget Qi Wu's methods?"
Ruling the army with an iron fist, Zhu Han used his method to build the Ming army that swept the world.
Strict management of officials. Today, Zhu Yuanzhang's orders on the management of officials are basically modified based on Zhu Han's suggestions.
Anyone who underestimates Zhu Han will only make themselves look bad in the end.
When Ma Xiuying said this, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer refute it. The current situation in Yingtian was different from what he had imagined, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little manic: "Okay, okay, let's just leave it alone, okay? It's not easy."
When we come out, we won't care about the dirty things in the court. Tomorrow we will go shopping and have fun! Let's do whatever Qiwu does outside."
"..."
Ma Xiuying's face became a little ugly, she looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "When I go out to play on Qiwu, I will find some foreign women. Your Majesty also wants to find them, right?"
You Zhu Yuanzhang can just play in private, Ma Xiuying can turn a blind eye, but now you actually say in front of me that you want to find a foreign woman?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Do you really think that I, Ma Xiuying, have no temper at all?
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt numb, and he hurriedly explained: "We, we don't mean that, we, we want to take you shopping together, sister, don't you like shopping? We, we don't want to find foreign women, really
No!"
"Hmm."
Ma Xiuying snorted coldly, gave Zhu Yuanzhang a roll of his eyes, and then turned around and left.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang feels a little regretful.
Just go out and patrol the world by yourself. There seems to be a lot of things you can't do with Ma Xiuying.
"It's our fault too... You're so good, why do you say so unscrupulously in front of a girl?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying went out for inspection. Although they would focus mainly on inspecting the world, they would still go shopping in their spare time.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's unscrupulous remarks yesterday, Ma Xiuying did not give Zhu Yuanzhang a good look at first, but soon the joy of shopping put a smile on Ma Xiuying's face, and the unpleasantness that happened last night quickly disappeared.
Ma Xiuying enjoyed the fun of shopping. Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have to carry the bag himself, this kind of aimless shopping really made Zhu Yuanzhang's iron feet feel a little painful.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Why should I take Ma Xiuying with me?
…
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came to go shopping. Although they could enjoy shopping, the things they bought were not for them, but to visit the orphans in the orphanage.
Due to years of war, there are many orphans across the country who have lost their parents due to war, including both boys and girls. When Zhu Han learned of this situation, he immediately went to discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang, and he established orphanages on a provincial basis.
, adopt orphans who lost their parents due to the war, and impart knowledge to both men and women...
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was opposed to the matter of women studying at first, but when Zhu Han was discussing the matter, he was at the dinner table, and Ma Xiuying was also there. After she heard Zhu Yuanzhang’s objection, her face became ugly. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to spend the night
Harmony, so she immediately changed her mind and waved her hand: Read! Everyone should read! All the people of Ming Dynasty, regardless of gender, should read. Only then did Ma Xiuying become satisfied.
Including Zhu Han, Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as his relatives, adopted sons, and Xungui all contributed a lot to these orphanages. Anyway, it is useless to keep the money. It is like a pile of money in your hands.
Instead of using metal, it is better to use it to support children.
It is worth mentioning that the orphanages in these provinces all have a common name: Daming Royal Welfare Institute, and Zhu Yuanzhang is the honorary director of all orphanages.
In other words, the children living in the orphanage are all Zhu Yuanzhang's "children".
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to spend money. The idea of adopting orphans is the same as that of adopting adopted sons, so that they can use him as a bond to unite around him. But now there are so many orphanages where the children are both civilized and martial arts.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect everyone to become talented. If they could achieve satisfactory results at the grassroots level, the early investment would not be considered a loss.
When he came to Liaodong this time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to visit the orphanage. After all, he was the honorary director, so he had to go and see what happened to his "child," right?
Ma Xiuying also liked children, so she was happier than Zhu Yuanzhang. After arriving at the orphanage, Zhu Yuanzhang went to watch the children attend classes, while Ma Xiuying went to the kitchen with the women hired by the orphanage to cook for the children.
The important thing when cooking is to combine meat and vegetables and be nutritious. Ma Xiuying stewed a pot of hot braised pork, fried a vegetarian dish, and then boiled a pot of fish soup. After Ma Xiuying finished doing this, Zhu Yuanzhang had already met with the orphanage
The children mingled together.
During the meal, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying also gathered around the children in the orphanage to eat together. Zhu Yuanzhang kept putting meat into these children's bowls, for fear that these children would not be full.
Gu Tongzhi next to him saw Zhu Yuanzhang's actions. Although he could understand that Zhu Yuanzhang was taking care of the children,... Zhu Yuanzhang's actions made Gu Tongzhi feel very uncomfortable.
When you put the meat in the bowl to the children, isn't it clear that I am exploiting the children's food?
Gu Tongzhi whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, the Queen, you can just eat the food in our bowls by yourself. The children cannot eat so much meat. They must pay attention to balanced nutrition."
Hearing Gu Tongzhi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened: "What is nutritional balance? Children need to eat more meat to grow strong. Are you reluctant to part with these two pieces of meat?"
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. We, the Ming Dynasty, have set up welfare homes to take care of the children all over the world. This is a great thing, so how can we treat the children badly?"
Gu Tongzhi explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "You have to eat meat, and you also have to eat vegetables, so that your body will be better. These children have chickens (eggs) to eat in the morning and evening, and they also have meals in the evening. Today we eat meat and rice.
Tomorrow we may switch to chicken nuggets and brown rice, just to ensure the health of the children."
In order to avoid Zhu Yuanzhang's misunderstanding, Gu Tongzhi explained a lot. After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was not as angry as before. He nodded and said: "You are quite interesting as a magistrate. You are the first one who dares not to let me eat meat for the children."
of."
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's compliment. Although Gu Tongzhi was happy, he still said humbly: "I just did my duty."
It's not merit, it's duty.
Just such a sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang remember Gu Tongzhi.
When arranging the candidates for the governor of Liaodong, Zhu Han did think about it. As a land outside the customs, Liaodong is rich in resources, and it is also a suitable 'test field' in Zhu Han's mind. Therefore, the officials in charge of Liaodong need to have a certain vision.
It is even more necessary to understand the new policies of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, Gu Tongzhi worked with Zhu Han as the secretary. In addition, he had a bachelor's degree from the former Yuan Dynasty, so Zhu Han placed him here with the attitude of giving it a try.
Arriving in Liaodong, Zhu Han was not at ease at first, but Gu Tongzhi did an outstanding job, and Zhu Han gradually relaxed his worries.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying liked to stay with the children very much, and did not leave until night. Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang happily held Ma Xiuying's hand and said: "Sister, our Ming Dynasty's income is indeed very high. It is higher than that of all previous dynasties."
They all have to be taller, haha... Our Ming Dynasty was only established in nine years, but it created great achievements that far surpassed the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu! However, we also have a lot of expenses, just to train these children.
How long does it take to become a talent?"
Ma Xiuying put forward a different idea: "Qiwu likes children so much. The children in the orphanage can do nothing but study, farm, and raise livestock. These children deserve to experience it, otherwise how can they do it?"
Do you know the principle of 'every grain is hard work'? I would say, let the children learn to live, raise chickens, herd cows, cut grass... they should learn to do these things after rest."
"Well, you can do what you said."
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that what Ma Xiuying said made sense, and said to Ma Xiuying: "Qiwu likes children too much, but he cannot just dote on them. We should let them experience more. We will make modifications when we go back. Let the children do some work within their capabilities and cultivate them."
Children’s ability to be independent.”
The couple talked more and more deeply. At night, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to admire the foreign beauties from Goryeo, but rested with Ma Xiuying.
Having just reconciled with Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang would not get into trouble with her at this time.
