Chapter 295 (1/2)

In the early summer, at the frontier court meeting, Emperor Hongwu convened many princes to discuss major events in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and announced the establishment of the Great Wall, which is thousands of miles high and thousands of miles long. The construction period is unlimited. Wherever the imperial court's expedition in the wilderness expands, the Great Wall will be built and pushed forward.

As soon as this matter was announced, it really caused an uproar both inside and outside the government, but there were no official envoys. The corrupt scholars vowed to oppose it to the death. After a while of shock, they all came back and praised the emperor's holiness.

It's not that there are no loyal officials in the imperial court, but some flattering crafty and villains. But emperor Hongwu has never failed in his work, whether it's the same track of cars, the same words, deposing hundreds of families, or opening canals, dividing 18 states, dividing land into boundaries, and setting two boundary mountains as passes.

In those years, before the construction of the canal, many people opposed it, and many ministers even admonished with death. They did not hesitate to hit the golden hall and coerce emperor Hongwu to take back his life, saying that the construction of the canal would lead to the people's livelihood and destroy the geomantic omen.

But in fact, in just a few years, the canal was opened, the weather was good, and the transportation was more than ten times faster. Even the digging of the canal itself brought many jobs to many people, and the people on both sides of the canal did not know how much they were fed by the canal. In the past, many goods that were unsalable locally could also be dumped and circulated to other places through the Canal waterway. In an instant, the tax revenue increased more than tenfold. In an instant, the Hong Dynasty and the people seemed to get rich together, and the national strength entered the ”* * * *” period.

There are also a series of measures to integrate the world, such as cars on the same track, texts on the same word, and unified weights and measures. After implementation, Emperor Hongwu is omnipotent among the people, in the hearts of countless people, and often many impossible things can turn corruption into magic in his hands.

However, since the construction of the Great Wall was announced to the world and put on the agenda, although the officials were obedient on the surface, after returning, the undercurrent surged, and I don't know how many things will happen.

The imperial court wants to build a magnificent Great Wall that stretches thousands of miles and can run horses, residents and garrison troops on the city wall. It seems that the whole empire has moved for a while, including human and material resources, logistics support, site selection and construction of the divine engineering academy, material transportation everywhere, and enslavement of migrant workers. Businessmen see business opportunities and foreigners see threats. Adventurers in the Jianghu are excited and realize that a real great era may come. Once such a great wall is truly completed, runs through the 18 states and goes deep into the wilderness, countless miracles may be born. Such a great miracle has not even appeared in the era of the 72 martial gods in ancient times, But now, it is about to appear

After he went down to the imperial court, Hong Yu did not return to the post, but lived in Mo Ningxiang's house near the border market. He did not contact and maintain relations with other princes and ministers. He sat silently in the secret room in the depths of the manor, did not practice martial arts, but was thinking about things.

Today, Hong Poji, Emperor Hongwu, was so shocked by what he said to him. He felt that his head was not enough, and many words were incomprehensible.

Now, when he has time, he looks back and calms down, but he has to think about the general situation, sort out the relationship, and try to reveal some secret information. Only in this way can he determine how to go in the future.

This is his usual habit. Every day in the past, he would take time to sit still and ”reflect on himself three times a day”, which was said by the sage of medieval Confucianism. He deeply thought that although he did not dare to compare himself with the sage, he would still sit still every day, wake up what he did, change what he had done, and encourage him if he didn't.

”Over the years, you have been bullied and humiliated in the palace and bullied by those princes and concubines. Do you blame me?”

”If not, how can your fate be reversed and get a great opportunity?”

”I owe your mother something, so I'll give you some adventures that didn't belong to you and help you change your life.”

”You get some opportunities from old eighteen, which is what I do, but I will make up for him and give him greater benefits.”

”You must have a fate in the future. Maybe it's the old 18, maybe it's unknown. Of course, the old 18 will also have its own fate...”

The words of emperor Hong Wu echoed in his mind again and again. He took out the Kunpeng feather given to him by Emperor Hong Wu. It seemed that it could cover mountains and rivers. The four characters ”man will conquer heaven” on the feather were like a sword and deeply engraved in his heart.

I don't know how long later, Mo Ningxiang, the owner of the house, came in quietly: ”What's the matter with you? I've been going back and forth between your fief and the border for several times these days. I've been busy buying materials for your fief and soliciting investment. As soon as I heard that you came back, I immediately came back. I guessed that you might have something on your mind and want to enlighten. Unexpectedly, your meditation this time is much longer than before, and your mind is similar Wandering, not as quiet as before. ”

”You say, how strong is the emperor?”
