After seeing off Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting and others, Zhu Xu returned to the Dongguan Pavilion, sat on a chair, and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and told Zhu Xu about Cao Wenzhao driving the guests.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "He has a sense of responsibility. No matter how grand he is, I don't care. Formalism is not acceptable..."

Cao Huachun heard it a little comprehensible, but also a little inexplicable, so he had to continue: "The Royal Court has cultivated some new rice in the greenhouse. It is said that the effect is good. I want to ask the emperor to go and have a look when he has time."

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly brighter and he said, "Okay, tell Song Yingxing that I will go in a few days."

If Song Yingxing and others could really create some hybrid rice, it would be like a major change for the Ming Dynasty, and its importance was beyond words!

Cao Huachun waited for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that some experienced craftsmen have been found in the Ministry of Works, some water and windmills have been improved, and they use livestock to pull water wheels to irrigate. It is said that they save time and effort and have very good effect."

Zhu Xu immediately said: "Tong order the cabinet to reward you, don't be stingy and report."

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu sat up, and as soon as he picked up the memorial, he saw Cao Huachun silently, and said, "Is it gone?"

Cao Huachun said, "Governor Cao has entered the palace and is now in the Grand Marshal's Mansion."

Zhu Xu said 'um' and said, "Let him take a walk first, let someone prepare to boil water. I'll go take a bath later."

Cao Huachun responded and then said, "The Emperor, Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Mingjiao, the youngest son of the Grand Commander Cao, are all here."

Zhu Xu raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao takes a bath with me, take Ye'er and a few little guys, and let Cao Mingjiao have fun with them."

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Yes."

Although Cao Wenzhao was one of the four major generals in the Grand Marshal's Office, he actually did not participate in the management. This time he came, it was more of a symbol.

He led Cao Bianjiao and Cao Mingjiao to walk around in various departments and conference rooms. All the leaders accompanied him and introduced him, and he had almost nothing to hide from Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao came to the staff office, listened to the report from a staff officer inside, and after a long time, he looked at Cao Bianjiao and said, "Remember, the emperor will definitely ask you later."

Cao Bianjiao was thin and had no expression on his face. He had always been taciturn and just nodded when he heard this.

Cao Mingjiao is a tiger-headed and treacherous man. Although he is already six or seven years old, he is even more fun. He sneaks around when he is not careful, searches and tinkers endlessly.

After walking in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Cao Wenzhao calculated the time and rushed to Qianqing Palace.

In the pool in the backyard of Qianqing Palace, the hot hot water flowed out of the wooden pipe and into the sink.

Zhu Xu sat in the front, covering her white towel on her face, soaking comfortably in the water.

Cao Wenzhao was very skilled. He changed his clothes and went into the water with a white towel. He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I have also made such a trough in the army, but those kids are too dirty. They all turn into black water every time. It's useless to change the water..."

Cao Bianjiao was a little restrained, and it was the first time he was so close to Zhu Xu.

Cao Wenzhao was immersed in the water, breathed a long sigh, and turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, after more than a year of training, the army has already gained combat power and has gradually matured in all aspects. I plan to find an opportunity to test it, Japan..."

“There is no rush in Japan,”

Zhu Xu took away the towel on his face and said, "I don't want to move Japan yet, let them get away with it. I will go there this time to shock the main purpose and turn Jiuguo Island into the tomb of Japan..."

Cao Bianjiao stood up straight and said, "I understand."

Zhu Xu rubbed the towel and said, "I don't worry about Japan. You don't need to take action on the matters of Japan yourself. I plan to let the Mongolian coalition be the vanguard and the navy assist."

The surrender of Mongolian tribes naturally means that they have formed a joint Mongolian cavalry in Guihua City, and currently there are 5,000 people. In time, ten thousand people can easily be found.

At that time, the Khanate will launch some more, and the Japanese army on Jiuguo Island, it should be fine to collect 30,000 people. With the advanced weapons of the Ming Dynasty, these 30,000 people will be pioneers, assisted by the navy, and eroded step by step, one by one. Whether it is Jiuguo Island or Shiguo Island, it will be easy.

Cao Wenzhao understood and smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."

He knew very well that this person's favorite thing was to kill people with a knife and preserve his own strength.

Zhu Xu explored the water and said, "Continue training, train a few more times, wait for another year, and I will transfer your Royal First Army to Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc. You will go all the way, fight seriously, and test it. No matter how well-trained the army is, it is not as important as fighting a battle..."

Cao Wenzhao responded and said, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu was not in the water, feeling the hot hot water, and he breathed inwardly, saying, "Master's Mansion, don't worry about it for the time being. Master Sun worked hard and made great contributions. I don't plan to let him retire so early, so I can't let their hearts be disappointed..."

Cao Wenzhao immediately continued: "I just listen to the rumors outside."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, Master Sun is not in the capital. There are many people coming from Mongolia. If you go and meet, you can make some benefits such as money and food. You can make the most of it. The main thing is to comfort them. Don't cause trouble for me in the next seven or eight years. Just give it to me slowly..."

Cao Wenzhao understood and said, "Yes, I will invite these Mongolian princes later."

Zhu Xu soaked in the water, turned his head and looked over Cao Wenzhao, looked at Cao Bianjiao, and said, "Can Wang Wensheng serve as the general of the joint fleet?"

Cao Bianjiao looked to Zhu Xu sideways, saying: "General Wang is determined to explore and march sharply. The joint fleet respects him very much. At present, the joint fleet is headquartered in Guangzhou and is divided into three branches, Jeju, Malacca and Ceylon. In addition, the joint fleet is planning to further expand outward and is still collecting intelligence and other preliminary preparations. The joint fleet has begun to show results in combating pirates, and the coastal countries are enthusiastic, and people, money, and food are supporting them. I expect that the joint fleet can be expanded to 50,000 people and more than 200 ships by the end of next year, which will have a strong control and influence on our Ming Dynasty and the southward..."

Cao Bianjiao's report was a brief report, which was clearly organized.

Zhu Xu listened quietly for a while and smiled and said, "That's good, what do you think about Japan?"

Cao Bianjiao said: "I have just read their plans in the staff office. I believe that although their plans are detailed, they may not be applicable to the specific situation of Japan. I plan to go to the Satsuma clan to see it first, see General Zuo and Karayama Kushou, and make further plans. The fleet will temporarily stay on Jeju Island for rest."

"Well, you're right, I agree,"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fight has not started yet. After you get married with Su Yinyin, you will leave in a few days. If there is something wrong with Japan, you can go back to Beijing and go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion. There are many people there who have not experienced many wars. You have gone and give them some experience."

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao responded.

"Your Majesty, Master Sun Ge is back to Beijing." As soon as Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Cao Huachun's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhu Xu in the water raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm back quickly. It seems that we can't take a good bath today."

Cao Wenzhao followed and said with a smile: "Georg Sun must have worked hard this trip, so it is better for the emperor to meet him as soon as possible."
