Beiping New Capital!

Zhu Di looked at the dreamlike Crystal Palace in front of him and was speechless for a long time.

Not only him, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were inexplicably shocked when they saw the Crystal Palace.

They had long heard that when Prince Zhu Gaoxu was still the King of Han, he was making trouble in Peiping, vigorously developing industry and commerce, and even built a crystal palace for His Majesty the Emperor with colored glaze.

At first, all the ministers did not believe it, or they had no reason to believe it.

Liuli has always been valuable. No matter how wealthy Zhu Gaoxu is, he can't build a palace with Liuli, right?

But they actually did it!

The beautiful Crystal Palace is right in front of you. Under the sunlight, it emits colorful light, like a miracle!

Zhu Di opened his hands subconsciously and couldn't help laughing loudly.

This is the palace that Zhu Di dreamed of!

This is worthy of his status as Emperor Yongle!

There is almost no need to think too much. At the next meeting of all nations, Zhu Di seems to have seen the scene where the barbarians dropped their jaws and knelt down to worship him!

However, Xia Yuanji seemed to have discovered something and came to Zhu Gaoxu quietly.

May I ask, Your Highness the Crown Prince, if you have mastered the art of making colored glaze?

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Xia Yuanji in surprise and ignored him.

This old guy is really shrewd, and he immediately thought of the glass craft.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to hand it over to the court, there was no need.

Giving it to the court only gave the court another way to collect money, and the money collected was the money of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Instead of doing this, it is better to ensure the scarcity of colored glaze, let the navy transport the money of the foreign barbarians, and then use the money of the foreign barbarians to develop the Ming Dynasty. Why not?

Old man, don't think about it, I won't give it to you!

This glass is for sale, not for the imperial court to suck the blood of Ming people!

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji was shaken all over.

Although I am a little disappointed, I can understand it.

His Royal Highness is a righteous man, I understand.

If the Ministry of Revenue really mastered the production process of colored glaze, the best result would be nothing more than making a lot of money in the Ming Dynasty, but then the price of colored glaze would plummet, which would cause turmoil in the Ming Dynasty market, which would be meaningless.

After all, scarcity is more valuable than anything else!

Xia Yuanji now finally understood why Zhu Gaoxu kept covering the glass.

After arriving in the new capital, Zhu Di held a grand court meeting to confirm the list of chief officials of various ministries and temples in Beijing and Nanjing to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

Then the temple supervisors from all departments began to work nervously. They came to the new capital of Peiping for the first time and there were still many things to do.

On the contrary, the prince Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to do. After the princes arrived in Beijing, he immediately summoned them.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Duke Zhang Fu of England, Duke Cheng Zhu Yong, Duke Mu Sheng of Guizhou and other top princes are all here, anxiously waiting for the arrival of Prince Zhu Gaoxu.

The two most anxious people here are Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng.

After all, in order to respond to the call of the King of Han, they had deliberately suspended the war in Central and South China, which was quite suspected of supporting their own troops.

If His Majesty the Emperor holds a grudge against this matter, the two of them will probably die as a result!

Zhu Gaoxu walked in hurriedly, and all the nobles stood up to salute, and then sat down at Zhu Gaoxu's instruction.

Don't be nervous, everyone!

Speaking of which, you or your fathers and ancestors have all sacrificed their lives for my old Zhu family. You also have a part of the credit for the Ming Dynasty's Dingding Mountains and Rivers.

And many of you are married to my old Zhu family, and you are considered your own family, so there is nothing to worry about.

Hearing what the Crown Prince said, all the princes looked happy.

The nobles and military ministers also have their own circles. The news that the prince asked Zhu Yong and Xu Qin to go to Liaodong was known to all the nobles, so they felt uneasy.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the prince's approach has the potential to encourage the noble military officials to develop Liaodong with all their strength.

But Liaodong is a bitterly cold land, and no food can be grown at all, which means there is no profit. Only a fool would be willing to go to Liaodong to open up wasteland!

But Lao Zhu's family can still remember the achievements of their father and ancestor, and that's enough.

Jane is in the emperor's heart!

After a pause, Zhu Gaoxu directly stated his purpose.

It's a great thing to bring you together today!

Now that all the barbarians of the Ming Dynasty have surrendered, Zheng He's treasure ship is also ready to set sail again!

This time Zheng He's treasure ship is preparing to sail to the Western Ocean. It will focus on caravan trade. It will bring glass, silk, tea and other Central Plains specialties in exchange for rare treasures from overseas countries. The profits must be huge!

In memory of your fathers' outstanding contributions to our Ming Dynasty, the Emperor is ready to give you an opportunity this time to build a fleet at your own expense, prepare goods, and go to sea for trade with Zheng He's treasure ships. Zheng He's navy will protect the safety of each fleet and make profits for you. As long as it’s 30%, the rest is your profit!”

As soon as these words came out, the Wenyuan Pavilion immediately became excited.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to bring everyone together to make a fortune!

Zheng He's navy's combat power spans the entire sea area and is unmatched by any opponent, and everyone present knows this well.

In other words, as long as they can form a fleet to accompany Zheng He to sea, it will be a hugely profitable deal!

And this is doing business with His Majesty the Emperor, there will be no risks!

In addition, all the princes pay more attention to the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor!

Without much thought, they understood that this was the Emperor's goodwill and intention to support them.

Otherwise, they would just let Zheng He's fleet go to sea on their own as before, and all the profits would go to the royal family, and they wouldn't even have a chance to drink soup!

This is what really makes all the princes happy!

Jane is in the emperor's heart!

Seeing their joyful looks, Zhu Gaoxu once again gave good news.

Each of your families are the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and you also have your own circles. We can give each of your families three places for this trip, but they must be high-ranking military ministers. Do you understand what I mean?

Support Xungui!

The emperor wants to vigorously support your nobles!

Zhang Fu, Mu Sheng and others looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Originally, they thought that with the end of the war in Northern Xinjiang and the surrender of the Ming Dynasty, they, the noble military officers, might be in trouble!

But not only did His Majesty the Emperor fail to do so, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Instead, we must vigorously support Xungui. This is simply great news!

All the princes were very excited and began to discuss it enthusiastically.

Zhang Fu frowned and asked: Your Highness, I know nothing about shipbuilding. I'm afraid it will take time to build a fleet!

Yes, Your Highness, shipbuilding is not something that can be accomplished overnight...

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile and looked at Zheng He.

Young princes, don't worry. Longjiang Shipyard can undertake your shipbuilding tasks, but you will prepare the wood needed for shipbuilding by yourself!

“The better the wood, the sturdier the ship will be, and only when the stability of the wood is determined can we start building a ship!”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly became excited.

The prince has already arranged everything for them, now all they have to do is find the wood!

But where is the wood suitable for shipbuilding?

Liaodong!

Zhang Fu uttered these two words and looked at Zhu Gaoxu deeply.

Everyone fell silent immediately. They realized now that the prince had indeed arranged everything for them!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and smiled warmly.

Liaodong will be your basic base from now on, and we must vigorously develop Liaodong!

You don't have to worry about the barrenness of Liaodong. God's potatoes have been confirmed to be planted in Liaodong!

Furthermore, the ancient trees in Liaodong are so tall that there is no shortage of wood for shipbuilding. After felling, they only need to be transported to the Jilin Shipyard to start shipbuilding. Zheng He has already dispatched craftsmen to the Jilin Shipyard, and shipbuilding can begin as soon as the wood arrives!

We can also build a large-scale shipyard at Port Arthur Fort, which is close to the sea. I have ordered the Royal Manufacturing Bureau to start integrating the construction. By then, it will be convenient for you to transport wood. It is only a matter of time!
