Of the fifteen 'provinces' in the country today, Zhu Xiong Ying appears to be stationed in Beiping, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhu Xiong Ying also understands that Beiping will soon be upgraded to 'Beizhili', which can be considered a stable area of ​​rule for the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of military affairs, places like the Liaodong Regional Military Commission should also be considered, as this area will later become the territory of the Northeast Provincial Administration Commission. It's currently sparsely populated and there are indeed some areas where development is quite difficult.

First, let's manage 'Beizhili' properly. Zhu Xiong Ying also felt that it was necessary to consider controlling some civil and military officials here.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was governed by the "Three Offices": the Provincial Administration Commissioner's Office was in charge of civil affairs, the Military Commissioner's Office was in charge of military affairs, and the Provincial Judicial Commissioner's Office was in charge of criminal justice. This was also Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, to set up these three offices in the localities to divide power and prevent local officials from having too much power.

Previously, Zhu Xiong Ying basically only managed the Capital Commandery and did not interfere in civil affairs or the judiciary, but now things are different.

“Tianjin will become a prefecture in the future, and the prefect here must be one of my men.” Zhu Xiong Ying then laughed, “Three lifetimes of misfortune, a county magistrate attached to the city; three lifetimes of evil deeds, attached to the provincial capital; three lifetimes of heinous crimes, attached to the capital. The prefect of Beiping Prefecture in the future should also be one of my men.”

These two cities are too important, so Zhu Xiong Ying naturally needs to take them seriously.

Although this might elevate Tianjin's status somewhat, Zhu Xiong Ying didn't care; what he needed was to prioritize Tianjin. Even if it was a new city, even if it currently had a stronger military character, preparations still needed to be made in advance.

Setting the tone at the beginning makes many subsequent operations easier.

Let's proceed with the development properly. Zhu Xiong Ying knew that some things couldn't be rushed, and many things were only just beginning. There were still many things to be done, so he naturally needed to take them even more seriously.

As the grandson of the emperor of a feudal dynasty and the future successor to the Ming Empire, Zhu Xiong Ying felt he needed to shoulder greater responsibilities. He needed to begin working on many things from this moment on.

"We need a shipyard in the north too." Let's write a letter. We need to transfer some boatmen from Yingtian Prefecture. "The two major shipyards in the south and north are not enough. Fortunately, there are shipyards in Fujian as well."

Somewhat restless, Zhu Xiong Ying stood up, unsure of the situation in Yingtian Prefecture. He was genuinely feeling uneasy and anxious.
