The two months that I had just arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture were Zhu Yinglong's most difficult two months. Almost everything started from scratch. Zhu Yinglong rented all his nearly 1,000 hectares of fertile land in Kaifeng Prefecture to the people who had no land or had too high farming rent for others to plant, and equipped them with farm tools, seeds, and unified management. In the first year, all the grain was converted to the royal palace. According to the grain distribution of adults and two stones of children, each household was given three to five taels a year according to the population.

The silver, three to five pieces of coarse cloth, will be like this every year at least every year, but an agreement of at least twenty years will be signed, but another condition is the most critical. All the children of tenants over ten years and under the age of eighteen will be sold unconditionally to the Xinwang Villa as slaves and maids. Xinwang will be the master of their future destiny. As soon as this news came out, Kaifeng Mansion suddenly caused a sensation. Although the conditions were a little harsh, at least there was food and clothing. Moreover, under the big tree of Xinwang, it could shelter from wind and rain. In Kaifeng, Zhou

After careful comparison, many tenants who farmed in the royal palace said that although this is similar to selling their whole family, their life is much better than farming for the King of Zhou. Therefore, many tenants from the King of Zhou transferred here. Finally, according to Zhu Yinglong's request, what they need most is now people, and blatantly cultivating their future team. This seems to be the most suitable method to absorb bones and blood. After careful screening of more than a thousand families with children, they sent the seeds and farm tools to be sown for autumn. They are not open to the public.

The city's closure is also handled according to this method, but there is no money or cloth to take. In fact, the 20,000 hectares of land is less than 10,000 hectares, and the income of nearly 10,000 hectares is replaced by the local stalls. In short, the taxes in the Ming Dynasty were very chaotic and heavy, so land and taxes were the top priority of reform, especially in Kaifeng's King of Zhou, who occupied nearly 70% of the fertile land in Kaifeng, but Zhu Yinglong was powerless now, and he was one of them.

After the autumn sow, Yinglong Villa built a wall and a glass workshop and was forced to stop work. There was no other reason. There was no money. A penny stumped the hero. Zhu Yinglong had to violate the principle once and asked Shen Xi to bring more than 100 glassware that could be called fine arts to Beijing, Jinan, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other prosperous places, and received nearly two million taels of silver. He then opened branches in these cities. Shen Xi also brought many of his tribesmen from Zhouzhuang, Wujiang County to Kaifeng, and several of them had good business operations.

Zhu Yinglong was very happy with talent. These descendants of the Shen family just filled the gap in their business talents. At the same time, in order to avoid the Shen family being the only one, although they are more loyal to themselves now, with the example of their ancestor Shen Wanshan, the cunning rabbit and the lackeys cooked the indelible lessons of their Shen family. It is hard to guarantee that they will not step on two boats in the future. Whether it is to prevent problems or prepare for the future, he is an outsider after all, and he cannot make any mistakes at the moment. So Zhu Yinglong asked Tian Shuying to send a letter to summon his brother Tian Wan to Kaifeng, and asked him to be responsible for all commercial affairs with Shen Xi.

From now on, only one or two glassware will appear in various branches every month. There are more in the capital, four or five. They all claim to be from overseas. Anyway, everyone knows that foreigners can produce such transparent things. However, Chinese people have different aesthetic views and are not practical. They don’t like the things brought by foreigners. Zhu Yinglong’s ten wine glasses are small and exquisite, and they are crystal clear, so they sell for such a high price. The things made by Tian Shuying are extremely exquisite, practical and perfect. It would be strange if they don’t sell them at a good price!

In order to avoid anyone discovering this secret, Zhu Yinglong stipulated that the goods would be shipped once every six months. Anyway, he did not want to make too much money on glass, because he was not a real businessman, and he did not want some rich and legitimate business people to buy a bunch of cheap things after spending a lot of money. Although the money will not be less, it may not be a good thing to flow into his own hands, because Zhu Yinglong will sooner or later disclose this technology of making glass, and a country cannot become powerful with the power and wisdom of a person. Keeping money in the hands of these wise people may exert much more power than integrating it in his own hands, because he carefully studied the history of the late Ming Dynasty. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, China has been in the budding stage of capitalism, and it is in the early stage of capital accumulation, and it must bloom everywhere. Of course, maybe it is

He was worried about it all, but he firmly believed that if the industrial technological revolution and advanced scientific and technological development were not supported and guided, it would sooner or later be castrated by conservative old forces. This is why the Later Jin Dynasty could destroy the Southern Ming ruled China for more than 200 years, but the introverted stage of hundreds of years was not able to develop into capitalism, because its social system was a feudal imperial system, and the concept of "divine authority of the monarch" was deeply rooted in people's minds. Although the feudal system gave a stable and even more prosperous society on the surface, it was corrupt from the inside out, so this was a brand new topic. The path Zhu Yinglong had to take was a brand new path. He had to cross the river by feeling the stones, and he had to do whatever he thought of. There were terrible political and military struggles in the middle.

Shen Xi finally realized Zhu Yinglong's method of doing business. With the change of hand, he got more than two million taels of silver. Apart from the salary he gave him and the expenses of the newly opened Boguzhai Branch, he made a net profit of more than one.5 million taels of silver. Of course, it was impossible for these silver to be obtained in one go. It would take some time to send it from all over the place.

Now there is money to build the "Shadow Dragon Villa". After Zhu Yinglong worked hard for more than ten days, he drew all the architectural planning drawings. As for the architectural design, it was handed over to Tian Shuying, who was skillful and skillful, and divided it into five major areas: residential, office, school, factory, and commercial entertainment. It is a bit like the prototype of a comprehensive university in later generations. Although the scattered operation is very secretive, it is inconvenient to manage, and information technology is difficult to block. Zhu Yinglong's biggest adventure in his life was to come together and build everything together, just like a medieval castle in Europe. I also built a castle outside Kaifeng Prefecture, which means building this first utopia in time and space. Anyway, the royal family has privileges. In his own garden, he can play whatever he likes. Maybe he burns all his money on it, and Wei Zhongxian would happily scold himself for "prodigal son"!

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for a vassal king to have tens of thousands of entourages, because he had so much land, so people always had to help him grow it. After these people were removed, only a very small number of soldiers were left. It was normal for hundreds or even thousands of soldiers to be soldiered. As long as you have no intentions and keep the number of people transparent and there is little fluctuation, it doesn't matter. Moreover, some of these people are still in-service officials of the court, and they eat the salary given to them by the court. Most of them have surveillance tasks. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong's approach is normal. A young prince Wei Zhongxian, who bought 180 hectares of land at once and built a house and enjoyed life, was the most happy to see it.

However, there is one thing that may not be hidden, that is, King Xin is too rich, and many people are already talking behind their backs. Moreover, there seem to be many strange figures around Yinglong Villa Garden. There is no doubt that those who are interested are caring about him. How could he have so much money? Zhu Yinglong racked his brains for this and found a reason to fool Cui Chengxiu and others in Kaifeng. However, these people are all eunuch party leaders and are very smart. I am afraid that there is no strong explanation, and they will not believe it. Alas, there is, Zhu Yinglong's eyes lit up. Tian Shuying's father, that is, Zhu Yinglong's father-in-law, is a very rich businessman. As long as he takes over the old father-in-law, there is naturally no need to explain anything. It is natural for the old father-in-law to fund his son-in-law to build a villa. Those who care about him should be able to dispel this doubt.

Kaifeng, the new Xinwang Mansion, small study room.

"Prince, I wrote to the capital, saying that the emperor was rafting on the lake and accidentally fell into the water, infected with the wind and cold. It has been a long time since Wang Chengen whispered in Zhu Yinglong's ear. Before leaving Beijing, Zhu Yinglong signaled him to buy a few eyeliners in the palace, and finally came in handy.

"How long ago did it happen?" Zhu Yinglong vaguely remembered this incident. After falling into the water and frightened, Emperor Tianqi's body suddenly became deteriorated and died of illness in less than two years.

"Short long after the prince left the capital, the palace blocked the news, and the slave only received the news today." Wang Chengen seemed to have known the young prince's ambition and said, "Prince, are you..."

Zhu Yinglong stopped him and said, "You can only know this matter, and you must not pass it to the third person's ears."

"I understand." Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Yinglong in surprise and said in response.

The darkest scene in Ming Dynasty history is coming, and it has not changed much because of his time and space. Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered Zhou Huaian who was looking for talents for him. He was a little impatient. The eunuch party had already suspected that he had hidden a serious prisoner in the prison. If he found the fake Xiong Tingbi again, it would be exposed. It is not difficult for the eunuch party to guess the self behind him. Unfortunately, he did not have a nail in the capital, and the intelligence was discovered later. This was a considerable negligence. It seems that keeping Zhou Huaian by his side was a big mistake. This time he came back, he still went to the capital. No one in the capital conveyed the message in time, and he was really worried.

It has been more than a month since he came to Kaifeng, and all plans have been slowly unfolded. Zhu Yinglong was a little anxious, but he couldn't be anxious. He only had two years left. In these two years, he would build a team that was completely loyal to him, and at the same time he had to find a way to govern the country that suits this era. The pressure on his shoulders was so huge, but he enjoyed it. The transformation from an ordinary person to an emperor who could control the world gave him endless motivation.

Shen Xi was responsible for commercial matters, so the work of supervising the construction of the "Shadow Dragon Villa" was pressed on the shoulders of the princess Zhou Yingning. Zhu Yinglong was busy with the formulation of various tasks, and was also planning to write some books on mathematics, physics, and chemistry from later middle schools. After Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi came, they would hand it over to them. Now, the children who farmed for themselves were gathered together, and Song Yingxing and Xu Guangqi taught them that education should start with children, which is what Zhu Yinglong thought should do the most.

In early November, there was a heavy snowfall in Kaifeng, and the project of Yinglong Villa was forced to stop work. All craftsmen changed to produce red bricks, cement, lime, and steel bars. Such cold weather was not suitable for outdoor construction. People in this era knew about the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, but there was no systematic theory, and it was too scattered. No one realized that he would sort it out. Zhu Yinglong is doing the work now. Because he really couldn't write traditional characters, they all wrote them into simplified characters. Then, Tian Shuying copied them into a copy of the traditional and simple characters he gave, and it became a traditional book. Moreover, the textbooks written by Zhu Yinglong were mostly vernacular language, which was simple and easy to understand, and it was suitable for children who had received enlightenment education to learn.

Shi Kefa was almost half of his apprentice and gunman. Zhu Yinglong felt that his writing was too slow, so he finally changed it to his own oral description, Shi Kefa recorded it, and then he checked it for himself, bound it into a book, and sent it to Zhu Yinglong's newly built lead movable type printing factory for printing.

Someone knows the simplified Chinese characters used by Zhu Yinglong. This person is Xiong Tingbi who changed his name and surname. He first thought of military uses. Now the Later Jin and Ming dynasties used traditional Chinese characters. They have never seen simplified Chinese characters. If it is promoted in the military, unless the traitor informs them, then the letter written in this character will not be understood even if it is intercepted by the Later Jin Dynasty. There is also the Chinese pinyin. Xiong Tingbi also suggested that Zhu Yinglong should not be promoted for the time being. First, use it in the military to select reliable people to teach it to convey information. Zhu Yinglong was so impressed by Xiong Tingbi's sensitive military insight that he was simply obsessed with. This is simply the code transmission of later generations. If Arabic numerals are added,

,Arbitrary combinations, each group represents a Chinese character. Later, even though the Later Jin intercepted our intelligence, he could only be stunned. Unfortunately, there was no telegraph machine, otherwise it would be more perfect. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong temporarily gave up the idea of ​​promoting Chinese pinyin and Arabic numerals, and immediately asked Xiong Tingbi to conduct a pilot project, compile a digital password Chinese character comparison table, and also used one set and one set to standby. This method made Xiong Tingbi's eyes shine. The prince sent him too many surprises. A seemingly casual sentence could give him a lot of inspiration. Zhu Yinglong then activated Xiong Zhaolian to form his own intelligence organization: Shadow, currently mainly collecting some dynamics from the Liaodong border defense and the capital.

The talent Zhu Yinglong was eagerly hoping for finally came, but what he didn't expect was that Xiong Hu actually came back before Zhou Huaian and brought Sun Chengzong. Although his thoughts were feudal, he was indeed one of the military strategists Zhu Yinglong admired later generations. When he was in charge of Liaodong, he proposed the correct strategic policy of "using the Liao people to defend their territory and supporting the Liao people with the Liao people". Unfortunately, his policy was not implemented all the time, otherwise how could Jin enter the Central Plains?

Since everything was passed through secrets, Sun Chengzong and his family did not enter Kaifeng City, but took a detour to Zhuxian Town and temporarily arranged it to Yinglong Villa. As soon as Zhu Yinglong received the news, he rushed over immediately.

When Sun Chengzong saw Xiong Tingbi who was still alive, he was stunned as a wooden chicken, and then he smiled to the sky, and tears burst out. Zhu Yinglong asked Xiong Hu in a glance, how did the person come here. Xiong Hu said embarrassedly: "I told Uncle Sun that my father is still alive, so he couldn't wait to take his family with me."

Zhu Yinglong looked like he suddenly realized. Hey, sometimes something that was originally very simple, you made him complicated, but he was even messed up. But if it was up to the point, Xiong Hu would invite Sun Chengzong this time, and he would come in one sentence. How simple.

"Old minister bowed to Prince Xin!" Sun Chengzong then remembered Zhu Yinglong next to him, and hurriedly knelt down for Zhu Yinglong.

"Mr. Sun, get up quickly and kill the younger generation." Zhu Yinglong stepped forward to help Sun Chengzong up and said, while also looking at the excellent military strategist. His temples were a little gray, his hands were covered with calluses, and the turbid tears in his eyes had not been wiped dry.

"Prince, the old minister Xie Prince rescued Zhongliang." Sun Chengzong was excited and wanted to kneel down for Zhu Yinglong.

"Sir Sun, don't thank me for this. I am the general Xiong family, but I have a purpose." Zhu Yinglong said.

"Prince, the old minister understands your ambition, otherwise the old minister would not have come with Li Niang." Sun Chengzong's eyes suddenly cleared and he said seriously.

"Can Lord Sun help me?" Zhu Yinglong said happily.

"Prince forgives the crime. The old minister is already old, and I am afraid he can't help the prince." Sun Chengzong said slowly.

"Mr. Sun, I..." Zhu Yinglong's face changed suddenly. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and did not look unhappy.

"The prince first listens to the old minister and finishes his words. Old minister, no, although I can't help the prince, I can still have some strength. I can still make this move. I can write down what I have learned throughout my life, hoping to help the prince."

A stone suddenly fell in Zhu Yinglong's heart and thought to himself, I mean that I meant that not only I want you to write, but also to teach you. He smiled and said, "I have a request?"

"Prince, please tell me!"

"I want to set up a military academy, something similar to academy. I hope you can be the dean of this military academy, write books and preach and answer questions?

"Your Majesty is what you said seriously?" Sun Chengzong's old face suddenly became excited and congested. For many years, the generals had to improve their military level through their own exploration and learning from the war examples and books of their predecessors. No general could teach and preach. Sun Chengzong wrote books and said that he hoped to leave something for future generations. Standing on the podium to teach and teach is his lifelong dream, especially the military he loved.

"I never tell lies to my own people!" Zhu Yinglong said seriously.

"Prince?" Xiong Tingbi was also quite moved.

"General Xiong is the vice president." Zhu Yinglong immediately gave him a pill of relief.

"Thank you, Prince!" Xiong Tingbi stood aside happily.

"What about me?" Xiong Hu said unhappily.

"As you, the martial arts instructor!" Zhu Yinglong thought for a moment. Since it was a military academy, theory was of great importance, but the combat quality could not be ignored. It just so happened that the status of women in the late Ming Dynasty had improved, so let yourself raise it to a higher level.

"Prince, little girl?" Xiong Tingbi seemed to stop him.

"I am just talking about it. Li Niang is very skilled in martial arts. The martial arts instructor is just what I want. I also plan to let Princess Ye enter the Military Academy. She is the first student of you two deans!" Zhu Yinglong said seriously.

The two long-time generals, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi, immediately had a smile on their faces. They smiled bitterly. The princess is a student, and they dare not teach her. Sun Chengzong coughed a few times and stepped forward and said, "Prince, this Princess Ye?"
