Father can be an enemy to the country

Zhu Zhen and his party were tired from the journey, so they rested in Guizhou for a few days before continuing on the road.

It wasn't until the day he left that he bothered to take a look at what Guizhou City looked like now.

I saw that this place was more than ten times more prosperous than when I came out. There were rows of shops on the streets with all kinds of signboards.

The carriages temporarily separated by the guarded team were lined up on the side of the road, one after another, all loaded with all kinds of goods. Cart drivers, cargo owners, and store waiters all ran to the street to watch the excitement, and most of them were Han Chinese. The rest are not only Luo Luo people, but also Miao people, Dai people, Bai Yi people... It can be said that people from all directions gather together, and all ethnic groups gather together.

And from the clothing and image of the Luo Luo people, it can be seen that their living standards have improved a lot, and they have caught up with or even surpassed the Han people.

There's nothing surprising about this. The Luoluo people's road construction team has never stopped working in these years, and has been helping various governments in Yunnan to overcome difficulties, and the rewards they have received are naturally very generous. In addition, Guizhou has an excellent location and is the only way to connect Huguang to Yunnan. It also connects Sichuan and Guangxi, making it a serious thoroughfare for the four provinces.

In such a geographical location, as long as there are no problems with the road, there is nothing that is not prosperous. So after Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu led the tribe to build these three avenues, businessmen from four provinces naturally gathered here. The Luoluo people made a lot of money just by renting houses and collecting taxes.

Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu were very generous and willing to share their profits with their tribesmen. Naturally, the Luoluo people lived better than the average Han people.

Therefore, their status is as stable as Mount Tai, and it is not due to nepotism.

As a result, the road seemed a bit narrow because there were too many people. The guards held hands and struggled to maintain the cordon so as not to affect the passage of the prince's motorcade.

"The people below are inexperienced. We should have closed the road in advance today." Shexiang apologized: "The prince is laughing."

"Hey," Zhu Zhen shook his head and said with a smile, "I like to see this kind of scene. The busier the market, the better. It means we are on the right track."

"It's really lively," Old Bimo on the side interjected: "When it was the best in the Yuan Dynasty, the shops in Guizhou City were not half as many as they are now. Alas, if I had known this, I should have built the city bigger back then. …”

"It's too late to expand now." Zhu Zhen smiled enthusiastically: "We can build a new city outside the city. It won't delay the old city, and there will be no restrictions on planning!"

"By the way, Your Majesty, I heard rumors that the imperial court has plans to set up a chief envoy in Guizhou." Old Bimo asked again: "I wonder if this is the case?"

"Really?" At this time, Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu didn't care about the love between their children, and hurriedly asked: "Is it true or false? When will it change?"

"You are quite well-informed." Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile: "We haven't even mentioned the eight characters yet. But in my opinion, Guizhou is located between the three provinces of Yungui, Huguang and Guangxi. It is not only important in location, but also belongs to the Ming Dynasty. The hinterland of the country. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Chief Envoy is established. You just need to be aware of it. "

"Then if we change the position of chief envoy, does that mean we will have to return to the land? Do we need to give up the city of Guizhou?" the second woman asked nervously. These two points are their core interests.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Zhu Zhen shook his head and reassured them: "The imperial court keeps its word. You have made great contributions to the recovery of Yunnan in the past. In recent years, you have built bridges and paved roads everywhere and done a lot for the construction of southwest China." Great contribution, the court will never let you down."

As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said: "I can assure you that as long as your descendants do not rebel, this will always be Guizhou Xuanwei Sicheng!"

Mukui, who was seeing him off, was overjoyed and shouted, "A Thousand Years Old Prince!"

"Hey, you all deserve this." Zhu Zhen smiled and said to everyone: "So, don't be emotional about the establishment of the Chief Envoy in the future. The upgrade of Guizhou to a province will definitely be of great benefit to you!"

"Okay, let's listen to the prince!" All the Mu Kui nodded.

"In addition, there are many difficulties that cannot be solved on the post road from Ruili to Bago, so I have to leave it to you." Zhu Zhen bowed his hands to everyone and said: "When this road is built, I will build a new Guizhou city for you! "

"Okay, it's a deal!" Zhongmu Kui nodded enthusiastically.

~~

Shexiang and Liu Shuzhu took Zhu Zhen to the border before turning back. Luoluo women are enthusiastic and unrestrained when they meet, and they are neat and tidy when they separate, without being childish.

Leaving Guizhou is Pudingwei. It is sixty miles and one post along the way, and the road is still strong, so it only took the large army three days to reach the familiar Grand Canyon.

What surprised Zhu Zhen was that the commander of the Puding Guard was still He Rong. At that time, he thought that if such a young man came to stay in this remote mountain valley for two years, he would definitely not be able to bear it and would find a way to transfer him away.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several years, he was still there, but he had lost a lot of weight.

"Commander He is still here. I thought you had been transferred long ago." Zhu Zhen happily patted his shoulder.

"Go back to your lord, it was my father who allowed me to train here for several years with peace of mind." He Rong replied hurriedly: "He said that if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. Because of the merits of my father's generation, I became the general at a young age. Commander, this is a very dangerous thing. We must calm down and stabilize it in order to survive. "

"Uncle Dongguan has great wisdom." Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded: "You are lucky to have such a father."

He Rong, Laozi and He Zhen, after pacifying Yunnan, were granted the title of Dongguan Bo as they wished, and they were hereditary.

"Yes." He Rong nodded: "My father said that being able to follow the prince is the greatest blessing."

At present, the civil affairs of Guizhou are under the control of the Sichuan Chief Envoy, and the military affairs are under the control of the Yunnan Governor, so He Rong is indeed Zhu Zhen's subordinate.

"Hahaha! Are you Cantonese guys so good at talking?" Zhu Zhen laughed and patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go and see your achievements in the past few years with me."

"Your Majesty, please." He Rong led Zhu Zhen and his party along the road to Puding Fort.

I saw a series of streets and houses along the way. The wheat fields are green and the farmers are working hard. The gray tiles and white walls in the village, with the smoke rising from the roofs, make people feel like they are in a paradise.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Tens of thousands of people died in the war here, which is almost like hell. In just a few years, it has become so beautiful."

Then he praised He Rong and said: "Great job!"

"Thanks to the prince, we organized a group blind date and asked the soldiers to find wives locally." He Rong said with a smile: "When you have a family, you have to start a business, so don't you become more motivated to open up wasteland and build houses?"

"And after the intermarriage, the father-in-laws of the soldiers also came to join them. Almost all the villages in the villages were evacuated." He lowered his voice and said: "Now if those leaders want to incite rebellion, they can't find a few people to follow them. "

"Haha, okay. This is the effect we want!" Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded: "So I always say that the solution to the problem of Yi-Han is just five words - Yi-Han husband! Don't be afraid of Yi-Han differences. Yi-Han Although there will be many conflicts and even troubles in Zanchu in a short period of time, in the long run, the ethnic groups will be integrated. By then, everyone will be Han Chinese, and won’t the troublesome Yi-Han problem disappear? "

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" He Rong praised hurriedly.
