"Emperor, Xiangzhou has many mountains and few lands, and at most it can support a population of 100,000. Now, there are less than 50,000 people in Xiangzhou and 30,000 people should be fine." The population mentioned by Zhou Shixiong is not the same as the Dingkou mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen. The population is one for men, women, young and old. Dingkou is a family, no matter how many people are, only males are counted.

"Thirty thousand?" To be honest, it is normal to be incredible for a huge empire with nearly 200 million people to be immigrated by tens of thousands of people and the emperor himself. But Emperor Chongzhen likes to manage things, and he will personally talk about the diligent emperor, His Majesty, who is the number of 30,000. Emperor Chongzhen is just thinking about where to get people to Zhou Shixiong.

"Emperor, on my way to Beijing, I heard that the Shuixi Rebellion was quelled. Zhu Shangshu should have arrested many rebellious people who followed the thieves. The environment in Shuixi is similar to that in Guangxi, and it should be fine to divide 30,000 people from these rebellious people." Zhou Shixiong saw that Emperor Chongzhen had been unsure of his mind, so he quickly put forward a suggestion for Emperor Chongzhen to refer to.

"Yes! The transfer of population elsewhere must be made through cabinet tickets, and it is not my final decision to deal with the traitor in the name of being a military officer! Okay, this idea is good." Emperor Chongzhen's perspective was different from Zhou Shixiong. He only considered how to solve the problem in the simplest way. "Zhou Aiqing, Zhu Shangshu's good news did not write about how many rebellions captured, but I can rest assured that 30,000 entries will definitely be yours."

Emperor Chongzhen gave a guarantee to Zhou Shixiong quickly bowed and thanked him, which was to finalize the matter. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the water dragon map and remembered the centipede car and the rail car, "Zhou Aiqing, what is the use of this centipede car and the rail car?"

"Emperor, the main function of the centipede car is to be able to drive on bumpy roads, and the rail car mainly deals with transportation problems in places with large differences in height." It is hard to explain this to the ancients for a few words. Zhou Shixiong painted pictures and simulated them with brush and ink pieces, which made Emperor Chongzhen understand the general meaning a little.

"This centipede car is so interesting and tight. I seem to have seen something similar. Where did you see it?" Emperor Chongzhen clasped his forehead and thought for a while, his eyes lit up. "I remembered that it was Monk Shen introduced to me by Shuji Shi Jinsheng. He also designed a car with a head and tail called Quansheng car, which is somewhat similar to the centipede car of Aiqing."

"Monk?" Zhou Shixiong could not have imagined that in the Ming Dynasty, there were monks who liked to invent chariots.

"You can't call a monk, you have returned to secular life, but he used the name of the Dharma name, so everyone called him Monk Shen." Emperor Chongzhen explained to Zhou Shixiong that Monk Shen Mingfu, who had become a monk since childhood, had joined Yu Dayou's tent to fight against the Japanese. After seeing the might of firearms and chariots, he lost interest in martial arts and devoted himself to the development of firearms and chariots. Last year, the Quansheng Car he developed by himself was completed and presented to the court with the recommendation of Shujishi Jinsheng.

Regardless of whether the Quansheng Car is effective or not, Emperor Chongzhen was interested in new things by Zhou Shixiong's improved crossbow, and made an exception to summon Shen Fu and asked him to demonstrate the functions of Quansheng Car in front of the emperor. He didn't have much impression of Emperor Chongzhen, and the only thing he remembered was that this kind of car was connected by several carriages. Today, he remembered this incident when he saw the graphics of the Centipede Car.

"Your Majesty, where is this Monk Shen?" Some people like to study new cars. Of course, Zhou Shixiong is interested in making friends. If he is lucky, he can provide inspiration to himself and help transform the centipede car.

"Haha, there is no need to worry. I will give Shen Fu the title of 100 households in the Jinyiwei and serve as deputy envoy in the Military Arts Bureau of the Ministry of Works. If you want him, I will transfer him to Pingxiangzhou." It turns out that he is the emperor, and a word can determine a person's fate. Shen Fu doesn't know who he offended in his previous life, and was sent from the center of the country to the border for no reason.

"Yes, of course, if the emperor doesn't mind, I want to ask for a few more people. The emperor also knows that there are still several vacancies in Xiangzhou waiting for people to make up. And the thousand households in Zhennanguan," Zhou Shixiong was so excited that he regarded Chen Yongfu's position as a vacant for a moment. Fortunately, he woke up and didn't say anything to death.

In theory, from the perspective of the emperor, power in any region needs to be restrained and balanced. With the fact that there was Chen Yongfu, who made Zhou Shixiong unhappy, Emperor Chongzhen should strive to protect Chen Yongfu. However, in the view of Emperor Chongzhen, the border army in Guangxi is different from the border army in Liaodong. Guangxi faces the weak and civil strife, so there should be no problems with the border defense. Chen Yongfu lets the barbarians of Jiaozhi enter the country and attack the village of Daming. He is guilty of being ineffective in defending the border and not beheaded.

Emperor Chongzhen was willing to delegate power and strongly support Pingxiangzhou. Based on Xiangzhou's geographical location and environment, it was surrounded by Guangxi Dongman chieftains on three sides and Jiaozhi territory on one side. If Zhou Shixiong was still constrained by internal forces, it would put Zhou Shixiong in a very dangerous situation. Emperor Chongzhen did not want such a situation to happen, so Zhou Shixiong a little hinted that Chen Yongfu was disobedient, and Emperor Chongzhen had sentenced Chen Yongfu to death.

"Tongzhi, you can only give you two. After all, the smoky land is terrifying, and it is not good for me to send people down." According to the normal organization, the two commander and the four commander and the four commander and the officials are all third and fourth ranks. Zhou Shixiong was able to promote people to officials under the seventh rank, which was already the grace of Emperor Chongzhen. These high-ranking official positions can only be sent by the court. As for the unlucky guys who were drawn to the subordinates to go to the post or not, no one can say whether they will take office.

"Emperor, I want a group of ship craftsmen to build sand boats in Pingxiangzhou." Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so generous, Zhou Shixiong would certainly not be polite. The ship craftsmen wanted, stonemason, cobbler, weaver and farmer books. Emperor Chongzhen was frightened by Zhou Shixiong's request, and thought to himself, you are really not polite, you want to move half of the Ministry of Works!?

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, Aiqing Zhou, I think you should write another memorial and write down everything you want, and wait for me to see." It's not that Emperor Chongzhen was stingy, but that Zhou Shixiong wanted too wide, and Emperor Chongzhen remembered so much.

"Thank you, Emperor." Zhou Shixiong said that Emperor Chongzhen agreed and happily saluted again.

"Long live, Lord Liu, Minister of Rites, asked for a meeting." Tu Wenfu outside the door whispered a loud voice, interrupting the monarch and minister who wanted to continue chatting. Emperor Chongzhen's smile was curled away and he snorted coldly with his nose, "Let him wait."

Liu Hongxun's name is Zhou Shixiong, and his teacher Sun Chuanting recommended the reinstatement. Seeing that the emperor was not interested in Liu Hongxun, he was a little worried. "Your Majesty, why don't we find some time to talk, I will still have to stay in the capital for a lot of time."

Emperor Chongzhen did not like Liu Hongxun, but the other party was also a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials were highly respected and the people were not good at doing too much. Since Zhou Shixiong gave him a step, Emperor Chongzhen followed his words, "Zhou Aiqing, I will send someone to find you to get gifts tomorrow. You can also go to the palace to see my eldest princess, and then tell me about Pingxiangzhou."

Zhou Shixiong left the imperial study room and met a thin old man in the small square. The official uniform should be Liu Hongxun, the Grand Secretary of the Prime Minister and Minister of Rites. Zhou Shixiong bowed far away and followed Tu Wenfu out of Jingyang Palace. "Teacher Tu, thank you today. We will get closer when we have time."

Tu Wenfu didn't mind whether Zhou Shixiong's words were sincere or perfunctory. There was not much intersection between the two. Tu Wenfu did this mainly to give Fang Zhenghui's face. Or to show Wang Chengen, this is his main purpose. "Mr. Zhou is too polite. These are what slaves should do, so Master Zhou doesn't need to worry about it."

Tu Wenfu sent Zhou Shixiong outside Jingyang Palace and asked a little eunuch to lead Zhou Shixiong out of the palace. He was the manager of the imperial study room, and he was inseparable from here. Zhou Shixiong thanked him again and followed the eunuch away. Tu Wenfu turned around and rushed back to the imperial study room.

The Forbidden City is indeed big, and you have to walk from Jingyang Palace in the harem to Daming Gate for at least an hour. At first, Zhou Shixiong was still looking at the palace passing by, but after half an hour he became numb. "What do you call this little father-in-law?" It was so boring that Zhou Shixiong had to chat with the little eunuch who led the way.

"I dare not call myself a father-in-law, I am the heart of a servant to pay my respects to Lord Zhou." The little eunuch saw Eunuch Tu's attitude towards Zhou Shixiong just now, so of course he did not dare to act like a maid in the imperial study. He respectfully signed up and saluted Zhou Shixiong.

"Don't be polite, I want to ask you something, if it's inconvenient, don't say it." Zhou Shixiong knew that the palace was very rules and did not expect to find out anything.

"Please say, Lord Zhou, I dare not hide what I know." Wang Zhixin said it nicely. If Zhou Shixiong really asked anything that violated the taboo, he would not cause trouble.

"Last year, the emperor wrote to me, saying that the queen was happy and expected to give birth in February, so why did she have it again?" Zhou Shixiong didn't pay much attention before, but now it's not right.

"It's not impossible to say this. Lord Zhou didn't know that the queen had a serious illness at the end of September last year. She was pregnant with a miscarriage of the dragon seed. She got pregnant again at the beginning of this year. There were more doctor Zhu's wonderful skills to rejuvenate and regulate the queen's body." Wang Zhixin gave the answer very readily, resolving Zhou Shixiong's doubts.

'The ancients really wanted to die. They had just miscarried for a few months and became pregnant again. Do you know how the word "death" was written?' Zhou Shixiong shook his head and sighed inwardly. The ancients really ignored everything for their children! But when they thought back, as the queen, they didn't even have a child, which was a pressure on Emperor Chongzhen and his authentic wife. They couldn't blame them for trying hard to create a person.

"Eunuch Wang, I want to ask you to do something, but I don't know if it's OK?" Zhou Shixiong didn't understand the rules in the palace, so he could only ask first. Wang Zhixin dared not refuse, so he nodded quickly. "Please tell me, I will do it if I can do it."

"If you help me pass a message to the emperor or the queen, it means that I will go to the Imperial Hospital to exchange medical skills. That's all." Zhou Shixiong originally thought that he came to the capital to protect Emperor Chongzhen's wife, and pretending was boring. But after thinking about it, he wanted to get more benefits from Emperor Chongzhen, and he had to pretend, otherwise he would have no bargaining chips.
