Chapter 0161 Lao Jiu, do you want to marry another room to open branches and leaves for the old Zhu family?!
Hanzhong Province.
After dealing with the matter of the reward, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, and after the recovery of the Western Regions, it seemed that a big stone in his heart also fell.
"System, you said that we still have the merit of recovering the Western Regions now, can we mention the rank of this Daming Emperor ranking?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the national transport system with some expectation at this time.
[Is the host thinking a little too much?] It is just to recover a Western Region, and the top three emperors, the territory opened for Daming, is not comparable to the Western Region! 】
The national transport system unceremoniously poured cold water on Zhu Yuanzhang's head!
"Can't you recover the Western Regions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately dumbfounded!
He originally thought that after the reconquest of the Western Regions this time, his ranking on the Daming Emperor Rankings would be improved, but he didn't expect to wait for such a result!
Listening to the meaning of the national transport system, just recovering the Western Regions, is it far from enough?
[That's definitely not enough!] Perhaps the host can incorporate Mobei, Dongying and South Vietnam into the Daming territory when he is in power, in order to improve his ranking! 】
[However, with the ability of Han King Zhu Li, it should not be difficult to do this, and it will not take a few years! ] 】
The national transport system explained a little helplessly.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."
How many years?
How many years do you have to wait?
Of course, with Lao Jiu here, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it would not be a problem for him to live for another ten or twenty years, but he did not plan to occupy this position for a long time!
He had already thought about it, when Zhu Biao was really gone one day, then if he was still in power, he would directly give the throne to Lao Jiu!
At that time, he will be at ease as the emperor, and enjoy his old age, isn't it fragrant?
"It's really not possible, let's tell Lao Jiu, after he beats us down the lands of Mobei, Dongying and South Vietnam, he will give way to the virtuous!"
"In this way, this kid should be motivated to hurry up and complete all these goals as soon as possible, right?"
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhu's mind came alive.
If Zhu Li knew that the old man actually used such conditions to open up his territory, I don't know whether to cry or laugh?
"It seems that we have to hurry up and let Lao Jiu mobilize troops against Mobei as soon as possible!"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, after conquering the Western Regions, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had any doubts about the combat strength of the Hanzhong Army, especially this Western Expedition, the equipment carried by the Hanzhong Army was still only conventional cold weapons, at most, it was just a few more Shenwu cannons when attacking the city!
Sharp firearms such as flintlock guns and mortars have not yet appeared!
It is obviously not appropriate to use Shenwu cannons in the Mobei grassland, first of all, there is no city that you need to bombard with cannons, and secondly, this thing is relatively heavy, and transportation is extremely troublesome!
Those tartars will not wait for you to bombard them with cannons!
So mortars that are more convenient to carry, as well as flintlock guns and even rifles that are more convenient to use with a longer range, higher stability, and more convenient use are more suitable for the tartars of Mobei!
"Father, are you going out?"
Zhu Li was chatting with Concubine Zhou and Xu Miaojin in the courtyard, when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang come out from inside and asked with some curiosity.
"Let's go out for a stroll, if you're okay, come with us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile.
Zhu Li naturally would not refuse this, he could see that the old man seemed to have something to say to him.
The father and son got directly into the carriage and left the Han King Mansion.
After returning, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet strolled around the streets of Hanzhong, and when he saw the lively Hanzhong Street again, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was obviously very good
"Old Nine, the flintlock gun and mortar you mentioned earlier, how long will it take to make it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked coldly.
"Why is Father so concerned about these firearms?"
Zhu Li asked with some surprise.
"Let's think wouldn't it be easier for you to pacify Mobei within two years if you had these firearms?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly said his thoughts.
Zhu Li: "..."
Boy!
Just recovered the Western Regions, the old man is worried about the desert north again?
He was afraid that he didn't know that the Tatar and Vara departments were already trembling at this moment, for fear that they would become the next target of the Hanzhong army, right?
"This firearm, the child is already in the process of building, but it is necessary to carry out repeated research and experimentation, determine the most stable production process, and then carry out mass production.1 Zhu Li explained with a wry smile."
In fact, whether it is a flintlock gun or a mortar, it is not difficult for Zhu Que to make, but the key is to carry out experiments such as live ammunition detection for repeated deliberation and improvement, in order to get the best production method for mass production!
After all, if the defect or hidden danger is serious, it will also threaten the safety of the soldiers themselves, and Zhu Li will not allow such a situation to happen!
"Oh? Then it seems that we don't need to wait too long! "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is Father Emperor so desperate to pacify Mobei? Even if there are no firearms, children can do it! "
Zhu Li asked with a serious look.
"It's safer to wait for the firearms to come out, you soldiers of the Hanzhong Army, every one of them is a baby bump, and we don't want to see unnecessary casualties."
"We can afford to wait for this time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and his words were true.
The generals of the Hanzhong Army as a whole are more than one grade stronger than the most elite army of the imperial court!
Moreover, he also knew that Zhu Li's pension standard for soldiers, whether it was death or disability, the pension alone was a big expense!
This is not only a problem of not being able to die, but Zhu Yuanzhang is also reluctant to have too many losses in such an elite army.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words surprised Zhu Li, but at the same time made him relieved.
If the old man insisted on mobilizing troops against Mobei in the short term, he would naturally have no problem.
However, his original plan was to wait until at least the firearms had been formed after the Hanzhong Army equipment was formed!
For the time being, let Vara and Tatar bounce around for a while!
"We have already thought about it, when you have pacified Mobei, and then solved the problems in Dongying and South Vietnam, we will directly abdicate the throne and give way to Xian, and hand over the rivers and mountains of Daming directly to your hands!"
"With so many merits, it is only natural for you to ascend to Dabao, Zhu Yuanzhang followed closely and added."
When Zhu Li heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
He never expected that the old man would suddenly mention the matter of wanting to take a zen position!
And he still wants him to beat down Mobei, Dongying and South Vietnam!
What does this old man mean?
Why does it feel like you're drawing a pie for yourself?
"Father and Emperor should be strong, you are the Daming Dynasty's Dinghai God needle, no matter what, the children also hope that you can sit in this position for a few more years, no matter whether this Emperor Daming will do it in the future, the children will also have a bottom in their hearts!"
Zhu Li naturally can't get carried away because of this, and as long as Zhu Yuanzhang supports his reform and strategy of using troops abroad, then for that imperial throne, in fact, Zhu Li is not in a hurry, but hopes that Zhu Yuanzhang can sit for as long as possible, so that he can free his hand to continue to develop with peace of mind!
"Okay, we father and son don't need to say too many polite words, you can just know this matter in your heart, let's not talk about it for the time being!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and stopped the topic directly.
Anyway, the conditions for him to meditate in advance have already been given, it depends on whether Lao Jiu himself fights for it!
If this kid can meet the conditions within three years, what if he passes the throne to him early?
I believe Biao'er will not object!
"By the way, Father Emperor, a new glass factory has opened in Hanzhong Mansion, why don't you take your children to see it?"
Zhu Li suddenly thought of something at this time, and proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Glass factory? What is glass? "
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.
[Is the glass the kind of transparent glass you have seen in the picture of dream life?] 】
The voice of the national transport system followed.
And Zhu Li's explanation here is the same as the national transport system.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
He has indeed seen the so-called glass that can be used as a mirror and can be completely transparent in the picture of dream life!
What he didn't expect was that Lao Jiu actually came out so quickly!
He remembered that this kind of thing seemed to have come after Lao Jiu ascended the throne!
"Okay, let's go with you and see what is fresh!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately nodded and agreed.
The father and son then walked around the newly opened glass factory in Hanzhong Mansion, and when he left, Zhu Yuanzhang also directly took away several mirrors, saying that he kept them for his own use, and also brought some back to the concubines of the harem!
Zhu Li was also crying and laughing at this.
The next day, the Hanwang Mansion began a new round of decoration!
Zhu Li specially let the glass factory customize a batch of glass, just to use it in the doors and windows of the Han King Mansion!
In addition, glass doors and glass windows will not affect the indoor lighting, but they can also play a windproof and warm effect in winter!
After all, it is already winter, and the weather is relatively cold.
Doors and windows have to be closed all day to keep warm, which will inevitably affect light collection.
In addition, Zhu Li also directly installed a central air conditioner for the palace, which can at least ensure that the entire indoor of the palace can be kept warm!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little hot when he looked at it, even in his palace, heating had to rely on the fireplace, and he had to burn coal!
"Later, we will also get an air conditioner and go back to the Fengtian Temple!"
"And your glass gate, also put it on!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Li.
"Installing air conditioning and glass in the palace is not a big problem, and the father can do it when he needs it!"
"It's a pity that the air conditioner is also exchanged by the children in the system, with the current level of science and technology in Daming, it is not yet possible to produce and manufacture, if you want to let the people also use this thing, I am afraid that it will take more than ten years!"
Zhu Li sighed a little helplessly.
His Han King Mansion naturally lacks nothing, and almost everything he wants to use can be purchased in the system mall.
But to truly popularize the entire Daming, there is still a long way to go!
"You can think of the common people and prove that you will definitely be a good emperor in the future!"
"You are right, we can't just think that we can use such things, but also let the people of the world use them!"
"We believe you can do it!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded his head with deep understanding and said.
A few days later.
Seeing that it was about to come to December, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked forward to Zhu Biao being able to rush to Hanzhong to celebrate the New Year together a few years ago!
Now that the cement road has been cleared, Zhu Biao will have to travel from Yingtianfu to Hanzhong, which is only about ten days at most.
But in the past two days, Zhu Yuanzhang has heard about an interesting thing!
The imperial court's reward fell, and Qin Wu and Geng Qing were also promoted and received the title of county county.
But what he didn't expect was that Geng Qing and Qin Wu actually began to ask for concubines after being promoted to knighthood!
Especially this guy Geng Qing, he actually married himself two more rooms!
However, Zhou Tong's kid seems to have not yet opened up this aspect of things, and the matchmakers who come to the door to say that the matchmaker is about to break the threshold, and his marriage has not yet been decided!
"You kid go to wake up that Zhou Tong, let him not answer other people's marriages, let's arrange a suitable time here after the year, recruit him to come back to the horse Zhu Yuanzhang, and I am afraid that Zhou Tong, this kid will marry a right wife before he recruits his son-in-law, and hurriedly explain to Zhu Li."
When Zhu Li heard this, he was also crying and laughing.
Last time, the old man asked Zhou Tong's marital status, and also said that he wanted to recruit Zhou Tong as a horse, and he almost forgot!
Unexpectedly, the old man is now bringing up the old things again, and it seems that it is not just talking!
"Okay, Erchen will knock this kid when he turns around!"
Zhu Li could only nod and agree.
"By the way, Lao Jiu, you have only one princess in this Han King, isn't it too monotonous?"
"We know that you have no intention of being a woman, but this fertility heir, opening branches and leaves for the old Zhu family, that is what you must do!"
"These generals under your command have begun to take concubines, and you, the king master, now only have a right wife, can't you say it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked at this time.
When Zhu Li heard this, he was immediately speechless!
How did it come to yourself?
For three wives and four concubines, Zhu Li did not reject it, but he did not have so many ideas, because he only had two ideas, basically focusing on the two things of state affairs and cultivation!
However, the old man pointed out that he wanted to let him be the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that he was really not good to refuse such a thing as opening branches and leaves for the old Zhu family!
"Father, didn't you say that the sons and daughters of the sons and Jin'er would still have two sons and two daughters?"
Zhu Li asked a little helplessly.
"If you are an ordinary lord, we will go by you!"
"But the problem is that you are the one who wants to be the emperor, how can two sons and two daughters be enough? This daughter will not say much, the son naturally wants more as possible! "
"Look at how many sons we have given birth to in this life? Your eldest brother has five sons in total! "
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately widened, as if there was no discussion on this issue, and when Zhu Li heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
It seems that this calamity cannot be avoided?
"Then I don't know which girl the father and the emperor intend to arrange for the son to be a side concubine?"
Zhu Li was helpless, so he could only look bitterly and ask.
"We think that the girl from the Chen Di family of the Ministry of Etiquette is good, she has turned sixteen this year, it is said that her eyes are extremely high, and she has not yet been married!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said his thoughts.
Zhu Lixin said how decently Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly mentioned the issue of marrying a wife and taking a concubine, it turned out that he had been planning for a long time?
"Ceremonial Attendant?"
When Zhu Li heard that it was a woman from the official family of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately frowned.
The Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments of the imperial court, and it can be said that it is the department that is most incompatible with his Han King Zhu Li.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites are all from Confucian backgrounds, paying attention to the etiquette system, and using the Confucian set of rules, which is what Zhu Li dislikes the most!
The old man wanted to choose a concubine for him, but he was actually born in the family of an official of the Ministry of Rites, what was he thinking?
"We know that you have never dealt with those officials of the Ministry of Rites, but this Chen Di is definitely an outlier, among the six departments of the imperial court, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Works are all good to say, even the Ministry of Soldiers and the Ministry of Punishment are not a big problem for you, the most important thing is that the Ministry of Rites you have to find a way to hold it!"
"Let's arrange this marriage for you, it won't harm you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see the doubts in Zhu Li's heart, and without waiting for him to ask, he took the initiative to explain!
Zhu Li was stunned again when he heard this.
Is the old man so thoughtful?
To choose a side concubine for yourself, do you still have to play this set of political marriage tricks?
However, he can also understand that this Chen Di will be a breakthrough for him to gnaw the hard bone of the Ministry of Rites!
You must know that Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites has been vacant for three years, and it has always been taken care of by the left and right attendants separately, maybe this Chen Di can directly sit in Shangshu's position after marrying his daughter to him as a side concubine!
Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has directly become his husband, and even if there are other officials in the Ministry of Rites who oppose him, I am afraid that they will not be able to set off any storms!
