Xu Fo returned to the Forbidden City again. Looking at the treasure head that was shining in the sun, and touching her still-protruding belly, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It was when Xu Fo himself received the order to be named Huipin by Zhu Youxiao and realized that he was pregnant with a dragon seed.

This was indeed an unexpected surprise for her. She never thought that one day she would become an emperor's woman and would be pregnant with an emperor's child.

She really wanted to see what Zhu Youxiao looked like after knowing that she was pregnant with his first child, was she happy or indifferent?

She even imagined the scene when Zhu Youxiao came to pick her up back to the palace and called her beloved concubine, but the Empress, the graceful and elegant woman.

Xu Fo looked at the white marble steps behind him and the palace gate leading directly to the front, imagining the scene when Zhu Youxiao walked out of the capital from there.

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant with your child, do you know?"

Xu Fo murmured and entered the palace pavilion that Queen Zhang Yan had already arranged for her.

Zhu Youxiao, who had arrived in Tongzhou City at this time, didn't think so much about it except for a sneeze.

As soon as he arrived in Tongzhou City, Zhu Youxiao went directly to the West Cang, Nan Cang and Zhongcang in Tongzhou for inspection.

This Jingtong Second Warehouse is an important resource for the national strategic reserve, and its reserve richness is a symbol of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

However, what disappointed Zhu Youxiao was that like the fifteenth warehouse in Beijing, the three warehouses in Tongzhou were not rich.

Moreover, according to Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, who came with the entourage and was in charge of the general governor's warehouse, the storage reserves were twice as high as those in the seven years of the Apocalypse.

As long as there are no more large-scale unrest or famine in the Ming Dynasty, it can last for decades.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, because now he can't expect good weather to last decades.

After inspecting the warehouse, Zhu Youxiao left Tongzhou City directly and rushed to Tianjin.

Although Tianjin at this time was not as prosperous as later generations, the Ming Dynasty at this time could be regarded as a pearl on the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, and the first important thoroughfare after leaving Tongzhou City.

Of course, more importantly, the newly established Ming Shipbuilding Bureau was also built here.

Since Maoyuanyi achieved the manufacturing of steam power machines, the technological development of Daming has clearly entered the fast lane.

The Royal Academy of Engineering is now trying to apply the principle of steam power to other equipment, such as trying to make a carriage truly turn into a carriage.

The first person to propose this attempt was Song Yingxing, a magistrate of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He decided to use steam power machines and organize a largest team to develop the monster that Zhu Youxiao threw in the Royal Academy of Engineering exhibition room.

At the same time, Mao Yuanyi, who had handed over the Royal Weaver Bureau to his brother Mao Yuansheng, asked to develop a ship that could use a steam engine to travel.

Living in Jiangnan, he is not unfamiliar with ships, especially after seeing those unimaginable ship pictures from Zhu Youxiao’s information, his wish became even stronger.

Zhu Youxiao did not stop him, and immediately ordered him to supervise the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau under the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of Works, and then established a larger shipyard based on the original shipyard, and named it the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau.

The Ming Shipbuilding Bureau was a project in April this year that Zhu Youzhao ordered Bi Maokang, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Works, to preside over the construction.

The address was chosen in Tianjin, and Zhu Youxiao ordered Dongchang to assist Mao Yuanyi in finding the old craftsmen at Longjiang Shipyard, Wuhumen Shipyard, and Dongdongdong Shipyard. They summoned Tianjin to Tianjin to restart the ship manufacturing in the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived here, although the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau had not officially started production, the small steamer developed by Mao Yuanyi had not yet appeared.

But the entire dock has begun to take shape and has been passed down from generation to generation. The skills of the old boatmen who followed Zheng He to the West have not been completely lost.

Some lost ship types have been replicated again. Although this only has a certain historical reproduction significance, it also makes people relive the feats of the Ming Dynasty on the sea.

After Zhu Youxiao left Tianjin, he changed to a waterway to the east of the mountain. The imperial boat he was riding was made by the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau, which was also the first task of the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau.

The imperial boat was improved by Zheng He's treasure ship voyage to the West. Standing on the deck was as stable as on land, and the cavalry could gallop on it. However, such a large ship could travel even in the inland river, which was even more amazing.

Just as Zhu Youxiao leaned against the window of the boat and looked at the vast blue waves in front of him and the green willows and red flowers on both sides of the straits, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, suddenly came.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has just sent back news that the Tartars have launched an attack on the Daling River Fort occupied by Wu Xiang's troops and have now occupied Youtun;

In addition, Wu Sangui intercepted Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa outside Jinzhou City. After talking for a long time, Wu Sangui seemed to have the intention to surrender, but at the same time he asked Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa to convey their intention to seek peace to the Tartars for him. Liu Zongzhou agreed, but after seeing Huang Taiji, he said that Wu Sangui intended to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and dared to be the vanguard and cleanse the Tartars. Because Liu Zongzhou intended to provoke and the Tartars were also intending to expand the war against the Wu tribe, he ordered to continue attacking Jinzhou after occupying Daling River. Now Abatai tribe has detoured through the Korqin tribe in Mongolia and is preparing to attack Jinzhou on the flanks."

After Xu Xianchun reported the situation in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao did not ponder for a while before laughing: "This Liu Zongzhou is not unusable. He can also grasp the right position when dealing with foreign enemies, which is very good."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Transfer to Wang Zaijin to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan. No matter whether it is the Wu tribe or the Tartars, they must not open the city gates and guard them strictly! This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't go blindly to join forces. I also convey my meaning to Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa, so that these two people should fully express our Ming Dynasty's attitude in front of the Tartars. In addition, let Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong send more people to disguise themselves as Guanning Army and kill more Tartars, so as to further intensify their conflicts."

"When it comes to Yuan Chonghuan, I have something to report, and it is also the news I just got. Fan Wencheng, a traitor who defected to the Tartars, recently met Yuan Chonghuan secretly. The two of them had been talking to the secret room for a long time. Our Jinyiwei asked in every effort to get some news. The content they talked about seemed to be related to Mao Wenlong."

When Xu Xianchun was talking, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Yuan Chonghuan has always impeached Mao Wenlong recently. He didn't say that he was stealing people's wealth, but said that he secretly colluded with the Tartars."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao threw the teacup in his hand on the deck: "What is he going to do? The last time he killed North Korea's general, he almost forced him to rebel. Now he wants to kill Mao Wenlong again. Could it be that he has to let me cut him into pieces?"

"Your Majesty calms down. Although Yuan Chonghuan is angry, it is not worthy of your anger."

Xu Xianchun advised him.

Zhu Youxiao was much more stable and hurriedly called Li Mingrui in: "I wrote an order, Yuan Chonghuan secretly told the Tartars, and his crimes were not to be forgiven. He immediately removed all positions and arrested them in Beijing!"

Zhu Youxiao said that, and turned to Xu Xianchun and said, "The arrest was carried out secretly. At that time, those who followed Yuan Chonghuan were all from our Jinyiwei. Now that Yuan Chonghuan is arrested, there is no need to worry about the people under him causing trouble. But just in case, I will send someone from your Jinyiwei to take over his position and let Chen Lian, who has been in charge of Liaodong affairs, go there."
