My Daming New Empire

These people with the same background and the same pursuit are the easiest to unify their thoughts.

If it were those literati, it would be an epic problem if they wanted to truly unify their thoughts.

The Taizu of the later generations killed the sky and the earth, but they couldn't solve this problem.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not face this epic problem right now, he just needs those people to follow his direction.

Controlling Jinyiwei and the five city soldiers and horses can maintain the stability of the capital.

He also has Habayashi Guard, more than 1 elite soldiers from the Young Army, and the First Fleet of the Navy, which is enough.

When Zhu Di goes out to fight, the Jingwei troops will take away more than half of them.The only person staying in the capital may be the Jingwei Commander, and the Jingwei Commander is Zhang Fu's third brother Zhang Fu, who is another person of his own.

So Zhu Zhanji has already controlled most of the soldiers who will stay in the capital, and he is not afraid that some people will make trouble.

If he keeps Zhang Fu in the capital, and uses Zhang Fu to suppress the commanders and envoys of the various capitals, the remaining generals of the five armies' governor's mansions will be able to completely ensure the stability of the country.

When he left Yang's mansion, Zhu Zhan basically planned to go to Xiamaqiao Farm.Chen Cheng was going to be sent to the northwest, and he had to find someone to take care of the big business here at Xiamaqiao Farm.

No one knew that in his heart, this was the place he valued the most, even more important than the Jiajiang Industrial Zone where Daming made guns and cannons.

Because Jiajiang Industrial Zone represents the present, but the absence of Xiamaqiao Farm represents the future.

Although the research and development of the ten research institutes here is not satisfactory because he has been away from home for three years.But it has not stopped, and has been developing steadily.

On the one hand, it is because all the funds allocated to Xiamaqiao Farm are Zhu Zhanji's private funds and are not bound by the court.

On the other hand, this is all the role of Chen Cheng. As a person who has traveled to many countries and seen Timur and other countries attach importance to culture and research and invention, he knows how to guide the development of these research institutes.

But now that he is going on a mission to the Northwest, Zhu Zhanji is going to manage the affairs of these research institutes himself.

In this world, no one knows better than him the law and direction of development of the entire world.

But as soon as his convoy entered the lane of Chengtianmen, they ran into Xie Kuang, the middle officer who was sent out to look for him. "Your Highness, this servant is going to look for you. Your Majesty wants to have fun with the people tonight, so I ask His Highness to accompany you."

Xie Kuang is Wang Yan's apprentice. Nowadays, the servant class doesn't have the custom of recognizing cadres, but there are countless master-student inheritance.

The eunuchs went from top to bottom layer by layer, and the status of master and apprentice has become an important way to climb up from the bottom.

For example, Liu Wan and Sun Lin in Zhu Zhanji's palace are all Jin Kuo's apprentices, and although Liu Wan is only in his 20s, he has already started to find a few smart eunuchs in the palace, who are seven or eight years old, and started to teach them Read and read, live in the world.

Sun Lin is a bit older, and he is now the Admiral's Counseling Department, so he has more apprentices, many of whom are elites of the younger generation.

In his early years, Wang Yan served as the eunuch guarding Liaodong, with a lot of power. Now he is Zhu Di's most trusted chief eunuch, and he has even more apprentices, dozens of them.

This Xie Kuang is one of the best, and has become a new generation of stars in the entire internal monitoring system.

Zhu Zhanji nodded. "Get in the car to talk, why did Grandpa Huang think of this again?"

Xie Kuang got into the carriage, but he didn't dare to sit in. Instead, he sat on the skirt outside the carriage, only one floor away from Zhu Zhanji.

"The British government returned to Beijing this year, and the British government also joined in the fun during the Lantern Festival. The lanterns made by their craftsmen are relatively novel, and the people in the capital are flocking to them. Today, His Majesty has also become interested after hearing about it. He has sent someone to summon the British government just now. With a group of nobles, we are going to go boating at night to enjoy the lanterns."

In Yingtianfu's Lantern Festival every year, the royal family, clan, and nobles all have missions.Every family has to make some lanterns and floats, patrol the streets for three days before and after the Lantern Festival, hold exhibitions, and conduct activities such as guessing lantern riddles.

The lanterns are basically arranged on both sides of the Qinhuai River, all the way to Chengtianmen Square outside the imperial city.The floats are on tour in several main streets, so that every common people can enjoy it.

Originally, this was to shorten the distance between the honorable class and the common people, but over the years, it has become a major event in the capital. In order to show off, each honorable family made lanterns more and more beautiful and cost more and more.

The British government has been relatively low-key in previous years. Although they are the first noble family, Zhang Fu spends most of his time fighting abroad and doesn't have much intention to participate. He only completes the lantern arrangement for a section of the river bank every year according to the allocated quota.

Zhu Di greeted a group of nobles to go boating to enjoy the lanterns. This matter seemed simple, but Zhu Zhanji didn't think it was so simple, and he was probably preparing for the expedition.

It is not a trivial matter for the royal family to go on a tour and appreciate the lanterns.

In the past few days, in the evening, people from the entire Yingtian Mansion have come out, the streets are overcrowded, and there have been crushing incidents over the years.

Although the royal family is boating, it will attract more people to watch the excitement.This put a lot of pressure on the Yamen servants of Yingtian Mansion and the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi.

And the safety precautions along the way will test the capabilities of the major guard battalions.

Zhu Zhanji actually disagrees with joining in the fun at this time, but Zhu Di has already made up his mind.

Moreover, the concubines in the palace seldom leave the palace all year round, but now they are allowed to come out to enjoy the lanterns and have fun with the people.If it was because of Zhu Zhanji's objection, they would inevitably feel depressed and angry.

Because people in this era have little contact with the world and little knowledge, their psychology is relatively extreme.Zhu Zhanji didn't want all the girls in the palace to hate him because of such a trivial matter.

What's more, he also thinks that more of his concubines and children should come out to see the world.

When he returned to Xingqing Palace, he saw all the court ladies and concubines were extremely happy, and a group of four and five-year-old children also ran around excitedly.

This is the case in Xingqing Palace, and of course other palaces are no exception.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head secretly, and he could only hope that the major Beijing guards would be more supportive today, so that the people in the capital would not be able to have fun together because of protection.

Jin Kuo is very busy today, because of Zhu Di's decision, he has to arrange for the concubines in the palace to travel. Basically, all concubines who are not sick can travel.

As for which palace ladies can accompany them, the list must be reported one by one, and they must be arranged one by one, so that no mistakes can be made.

The building boats that can sail on the Qinhuai River are basically not very large, and can accommodate no more than 50 people.

There are more than 100 people in the palace who are eligible to travel, plus their respective maids and accompanying eunuchs, it takes ten boats to accommodate everyone.

Zhu Zhanji had just left here, and Jin Yiwei also received orders from the palace, and they also had to take on the task of guarding.

It just so happened that they all gathered at Yang Zhangde's home, and they could arrange it directly without having to call people.

Yang Zhangde looked at Er Gouzi and felt that this little guy was also his lucky star.The relationship between him and His Highness is actually very weak, as long as other people are capable, they can take his place at any time.

And Er Gouzi, the little guy Zhu Zhanji remembered in his heart, could deepen His Highness's impression of him from other aspects.

Thinking that he might meet Zhu Zhanji at night, he planned to take Er Gouzi with him.

"Er Gouzi, tonight, Your Majesty and His Highness are going to have fun with the people. Our Jinyi Guards are in charge of cleaning up the Qinhuai River, and I am going to ask your wife to join in the fun. Tonight, you will help me take care of your wife. Can you do it?"

When Li Zifeng heard this, he immediately puffed up his small chest and said, "I must take good care of my wife."

While excited, he thought of Sanwa and Niuniu at home. "Master, can I bring Sanwa and Niuniu with me?"

These days.All the people's boats were cleared out, and only nobles and family members of officials of the fourth rank and above could go boating on the Qinhuai River.

And enjoying the lanterns on the boat is much more comfortable than crowding people on the shore.

"Little bastard, you don't even wink at all..." Yang Zhangde immediately slapped him on the head.But he said again: "It's up to you, Shen Zheng has to come back before, and he won't be able to catch the boat if he is late."

Li Zifeng chuckled, Master agreed to him, even if he got slapped, it was worth it.

After leaving Chang'an Square, he started to run fast, ran for more than three miles without stopping, and returned home to tell Sanwa, Niuniu, the good news.
