Chapter eight hundred and nineteen race with the world

Now the carriage is stable and very good. There is a stove in the car, some snacks and hot water. Xiao Yongning is so happy that he chatters non-stop.

Li Xiangjun occasionally echoed, and looked at Zhu Xu carefully at the other time.

Zhu Xu was holding two actual records, namely "The Records of Shenzong" and "The Records of Xizong". As for his father, Guangzong, he had been emperor for too short and had too many sensitive things involved, so he was unbearable. Zhu Xu kept pressing and did not write a book.

This is the seventh time Zhu Xu has read this "Records of the Emperor Shenzong". It contains a long piece to describe the great achievements of Emperor Shenzong, flattery and praise of merits, and also implicitly mention some things that embarrass the royal family.

As a grandson, Zhu Xu also had to hide his ancestors from time to time, and some things need to be modified, some of them cannot be mentioned, and some are in conflict with his current major policies and should not be exaggerated.

As he looked at him, he couldn't help but worry about his own affairs. He destroyed the "ancestral system" of the Ming Dynasty over the years and demolished it. He kept criticizing the scholars and his reputation was the worst in all emperors. He was probably much worse than Emperor Taizong Zhu Di. I don't know how future generations would describe him. There would probably be endless unofficial history, filled with these years, which was enough to overwhelm the official history, making it difficult to tell the truth.

These will make things difficult for future experts again.

Zhu Xu looked slowly, Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun muttered, not knowing what they were talking about, Cao Huachun sat at the farthest, lowering his head slightly, without any sound.

A sound of horse hooves sounded outside, and Wang Wensheng's voice sounded, saying, "Your Majesty, it's snowing."

"It's snowing?" The little girl was overjoyed, got up, opened the curtains, looked out, and shouted: "It's snowing, it's really snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing, Xiangjun's snowing..."

Zhu Xu put down the book and opened the curtain on his left hand. Sure enough, there was heavy snow falling from outside, and the sky was everywhere. In addition, there was a wasteland outside, making it even more chill.

The little girl turned her head and shouted excitedly to Zhu Xu: "Uncle, let's go down, it must be more fun outside..."

Zhu Xu looked at the field outside, moved his heart slightly, and asked outside, "How long will it take?"

Wang Wensheng hurriedly said, "I guess I will have half an hour to go back to the emperor."

Now the carriage can't move fast. After thinking about it, Zhu Xu said, "Stop, let's all walk around."

"Yes!" Wang Wensheng responded and ordered the carriage to stop slowly.

"Xiangjun, go quickly!" The little girl couldn't wait and pulled Li Xiangjun out of the car door first.

Zhu Xu hurriedly said, "Put it out, it's cold."

The little girl could not hear it. She rushed out cheerfully and there was no movement outside.

Zhu Xu wrapped her clothes and followed her out, but she saw two little girls holding their bodies, standing next to the carriage, trembling and blinking constantly.

Zhu Xu shook his head. There was a stove inside and it was just snowing outside. It would be strange if they were not cold when they rushed down like this.

"You girl!" Zhu Xu bounced on the little girl's forehead and took off her cloak and gave it to the two of them.

The little girl hurriedly wrapped herself tightly. Although her face turned white with cold, her eyes were still bright and she was extremely excited.

Li Xiangjun pulled the corner with his hands, pursed his mouth, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu smiled and rubbed her little head, looked up and looked around. This was an official road, with farmland on both sides, some were lush and green, and some were bare and nothing.

Zhu Xu walked slowly forward and kept looking left and right.

Xiao Yongning also opened her eyes wide. This was the first time she saw the outside world. She was particularly happy and followed Zhu Xu, looking around, but she didn't run around.

After leaving for a long time, Zhu Xu said, "Are you planted a lot of sweet potatoes here?"

Cao Huachun took two steps forward and said, "Yes, according to Shuntian Prefecture, almost half of Hebei are growing sweet potatoes."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and continued walking.

It has been a few years since the promotion of sweet potatoes. As the disaster intensifies, many people have started to plant them consciously. The yield is more than three times that of wheat and rice in two seasons a year. The imperial court has not yet imposed taxes on sweet potatoes and has been encouraging planting.

This is of great use in dealing with disasters and increasing farmers' income.

The most planted place should be Liaodong. More than 60% of the newly reclaimed land are sweet potatoes. Six provinces including Shaanxi and Xi are also increasing their efforts to promote it. As for the two provinces in Annan and the South China Sea, Zhu Xu has not yet asked for it. The three provinces still need large-scale land to be reclaimed, and there is relatively little mature land.

"Emperor." Suddenly, Wang Wensheng stepped forward and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear.

Zhu Xu was stunned and turned to look at him.

Wang Wensheng turned around and lowered his head slightly.

As soon as he made way out, Zhu Xu saw that in the small ditch not far away, the little girl was squatting there, her hands quickly plucking something. Li Xiangjun was whispering, pulling it, the little girl ignored it at all, and was so excited about it.

Li Xiangjun couldn't persuade him, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Xu's appearance. He quickly stood up, lowered his head, and looked like he was doing something wrong.

Zhu Xu walked over with a frown, pulled the little girl's collar and lifted her up, came to the shore, and taught her a lesson: "Don't you know it's cold?"

The little girl struggled violently, and shouted, "Uncle, there is a sword, there is a sword there. Put me down quickly, I want a sword..."

Zhu Xu was stunned and pulled her to prevent her from moving. He looked out and the little girl dug out a pit, which was indeed a hilt of a sword inside.

Wang Wensheng also saw it. With a wave of his hand, the two guards jumped over, took out a short knife and dug it up.

"My, mine..." the little girl shouted, rushing over with her teeth and claws.

Zhu Xu gave her a chestnut and said, "Be honest with me."

The little girl held her head and watched the two guards dig there, her little face full of grievance, as if her toy was about to be snatched away.

After a while, an imperial guard stood up and raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, there are more than one hand. It seems that someone deliberately hid a lot of swords and weapons here."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he pulled the little girl forward a few steps. Sure enough, he saw more than ten pieces of handfuls, inserted into the pit in a row, and it seemed that there were more.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said as if reminding him, "Your Majesty, this is not far from the base of the Military Weapon Bureau."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, his eyes turned cold and said, "Continue digging!"

"yes!"

More than 30 guards brought by Zhu Xu jumped down and began to dig in various directions.

The little girl obviously felt that something was wrong, so she looked at Zhu Xu with her little face raised and did not make any noise.

Zhu Xu glanced at the distance of the way. The Military Weapon Bureau was already looming, but there were so many weapons here...

‘Is someone trying to attack the Military Weapon Bureau?’ Zhu Xu whispered in his heart.

"What is the layout of the Military Weapon Bureau now?" Zhu Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun and said.

Cao Huachun thought for a moment and said, "The Military Weapon Bureau now has more than 500 craftsmen and more than 2,000 workers of various types. In addition, there are also 1,000 elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp, and some students from the Royal Court. The professors will often communicate with each other."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly as he heard this. The thousand elite soldiers of the Shenji Camp had a strong firepower outside. Although there was no defense that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, it was difficult for ordinary three or five thousand people to accomplish anything.

"It seems that I didn't go to the Military Weapons Bureau. Who is it..." Zhu Xu said to himself.

Not long after, Wang Wensheng came up and said, "Your Majesty, I have already pointed it out. There are almost a hundred pieces. It is not the Ministry of War. It should have been secretly cast by someone. In addition, it has not been opened or sealed."

Now the iron control is relatively strict, and private attack weapons are not allowed to be cast by the people. There are so many people, obviously, some people want to do something, but they have not opened it.

Zhu Xu stepped forward, looked down at the swordsmen, pinched his chin and thought for a while, then looked forward and shook his head for a while, and said, "The workmanship is too rough, it is probably a small workshop."

After saying that, he turned to Xiao Yongning and said, "When I arrived at the Military Weapon Bureau, I asked them to give me some good-looking ones. These are not suitable for you."

The little guy flattened his mouth and looked at the hundreds of swords reluctantly.

Wang Wensheng came over and said, "Emperor, please keep someone watching, and at the same time notify the Ministry of War to take it away."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Let the Jinyiwei check it out, investigate it secretly, don't make a big noise."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

"Let's go." Zhu Xu said. He wanted to continue walking. Blowing the wind would make him calmer and have clearer thinking.

Everyone followed him. Although the little girl lost the sword she wanted, she was still very excited. She had an extra toy with a small fan in her hand. She ran around on both sides of the road, as if she was exploring something.

Zhu Xu's eyes were still watching everywhere, holding his hands, facing the cold wind and heavy snow.

It should be noted that there are actually a lot of land in the Dynasty, with a large amount of wasteland and wasteland, and there are more uncultivated, especially the Taihu Lake area in the south of the Yangtze River. It has not yet been fully developed and has not yet reached the wealth of "Taihu Lake is well-versed in the world".

This "little ice river" is indeed a good opportunity to transform the Ming Dynasty and completely revive it. At the same time, this is also a critical moment for the world's huge changes. If you take a step slower, you may not have the chance to turn around!

The Ming Dynasty is now racing against time, domestic disasters, and world development speed!

"Uncle Emperor, cold..."

Not sure how long, the little girl suddenly pulled the corner of Zhu Xu's clothes and said with a pale face.

Zhu Xu looked back and saw that Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun were all frozen and her face turned pale and shivering.

"Who made you wear so little..."

Zhu Xu taught a lesson and led the two little girls to the carriage.

It was said that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the weather became more and more cold, and even he couldn't stand it.

After getting on the carriage, the two little girls surrounded the stove, stretched out their hands and pursed their mouths. It was obvious that they had been frozen for a long time.

Zhu Xu poured two cups of tea for the two of them and said, "Drink some warmth, sit and don't move, it'll be fine in a while."

The two nodded repeatedly, hugging each other in their cups, obviously very cold.

Zhu Xu looked outside again and said to the outside: "Speed ​​up, get there quickly, everyone will go into the house to warm up."

"Yes!" Wang Wensheng outside responded and ordered the carriage to accelerate.

Zhu Xu speeds up, and the Military Weapons Bureau is also busy.

The emperor suddenly came. Although it was not as important as seeing the exercise, there were too many things to prepare for it. They wanted to show it to the emperor, and they were all preparing in a hurry.

Bi Maokang has been in the Military Weapons Bureau for many years, and he has been in charge of Xu Guangqi since his death.
