My Daming New Empire

It's like a car, if a part breaks, you have to fix it.But if it works well, at this point, all you need to do is get your hands on the steering wheel.

Daming is now a well-oiled car.

There are historical reasons for the fact that the two palaces of Xizhou are too powerful.Because there were too many Kunlun slaves in Xizhou at the beginning, it would be difficult to develop there without strengthening their strength.

At the beginning, more palaces were not arranged to go to Xizhou, mainly because the central government's management of Xizhou was not enough, and it was easy to breed tigers.

Now, with the wireless telegraph and the telephone in Ming Dynasty, the control of the central government over the local government and the army will directly rise to another level.

At this time, you are not afraid of such a situation.

This is like a car running out of gas, knowing that the only gas station has bad gas, but in order to be able to move forward, you can only add a little bit to move forward.

When it's time to get to the next gas station, of course, you have to fill up the oil quickly.

There are only two palaces in Xizhou, although it will cause their power to expand at first.But dealing with two palaces is much easier than dealing with seven or eight palaces.

No matter how powerful these two palaces are, in the face of the mighty historical trend, they can only go with the current, otherwise they will be wiped out by the trend.

The role of him and the officials is to make this kind of collision lighter and less impact on society.

He sent Xie Yun to Xizhou because he also believed that Xie Yun could handle the matter well.

For Xie Yun, Zhu Zhanji can despise the enemy in terms of strategy, but as the executor of tactics, he must pay attention to the enemy.

When Daming left, his father's words of "walking through the thin air" made him engraved in his heart.

He knew very well that getting involved in the "household affairs" of the royal family was a very risky thing.

Even if he's doing everything right now, he won't be able to do well when the members of the royal family clear their grievances.

However, he trusts His Majesty today.Because he has been with this Majesty for more than ten years, he clearly knows that His Majesty has a broad mind and treats ministers who are dedicated to their efforts with tolerance and preferential treatment.

Throughout the ages, many emperors have been suspicious, fickle, and ruthless.But this Majesty has never treated anyone badly.

From the Yongle Dynasty to the present for more than 50 years, unless the ministers were willing to degenerate and broke the law, the ministers who did not violate the law almost all started well and ended peacefully.

And Xie Yun has another advantage, that is, he has a good relationship with the current grandson Zhu Jianshen. Apart from Peng Shi, the grandson's teacher, Xie Yun is the closest to the grandson.

He is also the teacher of Zhu Youtang, the grandson of the grandson. Zhu Youtang is ten years old this year. He is smart and highly valued by his majesty and grandson.

Therefore, when the prince has passed away and the grandson will succeed to the throne in the future, he doesn't have much worry.

Not having to worry about the future is where Xie Yun dares to let go and do it.

Hanzhou city.Han Palace.

At the time of sunset, all the invited dignitaries and nobles in Hanzhou City took carriages and cars to the most luxurious Hanwang Mansion in the city.

In addition to obtaining about [-]% of the tax revenue of the entire territory, the Han Palace is also engaged in slave trading, trade with Europe, trade with Arabs, and trade with Ming Dynasty.

Over the years, after four Han kings, he has accumulated a lot of wealth.

In addition to raising private soldiers, the Han Palace spent most of its money on the family's stronghold, and the palace was getting bigger and bigger.

Although in terms of regulations, Hanwang Mansion did not exceed the rules of the Prince's Mansion, but in terms of the occupied area, it was no smaller than Yingtian Mansion's imperial palace at all.

At the beginning, many ministers kept reporting, but after Zhu Zhanji personally built the Edo Palace for King Dongying, all the officials died down.

Because the occupied area of ​​Dongying Palace is no smaller than that of Yingtianfu's Palace, it's just that the buildings are smaller.

The Palace of the King of Han seems to understand the bottom line of the court. They follow the regulations of the Prince's Palace. Every hall does not exceed the regulations, but the area is getting bigger and bigger.

Xie Yun got off the car at the gate of King Han's Mansion, changed to the carriage prepared by King Han Mansion, and walked for half a cup of tea before arriving at the main hall of King Han Mansion.

Cai Kang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the groom driving the car, and said softly, "The north of Hanwang Mansion is the railway station, and the south is the inner port wharf. This area covers an area of ​​300 million square meters. In terms of site, it is bigger than Yingtian Mansion. The palace is much bigger."

Xie Yun didn't seem to pay attention to this aspect, and looked curiously at the animals swimming around in the courtyard with some curiosity.Hearing Cai Kang's words, he smiled and said, "As long as the building regulations of the Palace of the King of Han do not exceed that of the Imperial Palace, it doesn't matter if it occupies an area of ​​more than ten miles. I think it would be interesting to set up a zoo in the Palace."

Cai Kang said again: "Although Hanzhou City is a good natural harbor, there is no big river. The previous King of Han planned to move Hanzhou City to the banks of the Han River [-] miles to the south, and build a hydropower station there, but he was reluctant to do so. The palace of the King of Han has not yet made up his mind."

Although Xie Yunming knew that he deliberately brought up this topic in front of the guards of the Han Palace, to startle the snake.But he didn't think he needed to play any machinations.

For people at their level, conspiracies and tricks are just small ways, and it is impossible to achieve great things by relying on intrigues and tricks.

The trend of the world is like a tide, mighty and mighty, follow the trend, and an upright conspiracy is the foundation for great things to happen.

So he just smiled and said, "Now the King of Han has his own considerations, so we don't need to worry about them."

Opinion cloud is unwilling to talk about this matter, Cai Kang understood it, stopped provoking the topic, and quietly watched a group of deer approaching the carriage fearlessly, as if he wanted the people in the carriage to feed them.

The carriage arrived at the main hall of the King of Han Mansion, headed by Zhu Jianzhu, more than ten royal families at home, and officials of the King's Mansion greeted him outside the main hall.

.

On Xie Yun's side, there were even more officials from various ministries who accompanied him on the mission, plus the chief envoy, the procuratorate, the navy, and other officials at all levels.

The two sides greeted each other in turn, and the lower-level personnel were introduced into the Second Court, while Xie Yun and the others were welcomed into the hall.

June is still the rainy season here in Hanzhou City, and dozens of large tents were stretched over the yard of the Second Courtyard, blocking the entire sky.

Under the tent, an electric light was turned on, and the lights shone brightly.

However, the power supply here is limited and the voltage is not enough, so you can often see the lights flickering.

Inside the main hall, Zhu Jianzhu sat at the main seat, the royal family of the Han Palace was on the right, and the court officials headed by Xie Yun were on the left.

The two sides chatted and opened the topic. Zhu Jian looked at Xie Yun and asked with a smile: "It is said that Bachelor Xie was born in Nanyang, grew up in Nanzhou, and experienced training in Dongzhou. This time he visited Europe and Xizhou. Everyone in the world has seen it." Read it again. I wonder what the bachelors have to say about places other than Central Continent?"

Xie Yun pondered for a while, and replied: "From what I see, the Eastern Continent is rich, the Southern Continent is peaceful, the Western Continent is strong, and Europe is chaotic."

Dongzhou is rich in fertile soil and rich in resources. It has a larger area and more resources than Central Continent. Only the population is not as large as Central Continent.

It is also because Dongzhou has such good conditions, so Zhu Zhanji sealed Dongzhou to his sons to prevent Dongzhou from having any intention of independence.

Compared with other places, Nanzhou is an isolated continent.Most of the area on this big island is not suitable for development. Although there are many minerals, the development potential is limited.

However, there are no foreign enemies in Nanzhou, and it is protected by the Ming Navy. The people there live and work in peace and contentment without contending with the world.

The Western Continent is different. The Han people here only account for one-third of the population. In the north of the desert area, all the Arabs living in the desert have surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

There are still millions of Kunlun slaves living in the south of the desert all the way to the rainforest, and their number is even more than that of the Han people.

Because of the slave trade, and the fact that Han Palace and Jin Palace have always been conquered by force, the army and palace forces here are stronger than those in other regions.

After listening to Jieyun's analysis, Zhu Jianzhu asked with a smile: "Then how does each place compare to Central Continent? How big is the gap?"

"Naturally, there is a difference between various places and Central Continent. The difference is..." Xie Yun didn't say any more, but pointed to the sky and the ground with his fingers.
