Normally, the distance between two points is short, so the local government can handle the transportation without any problems. You can even ask merchants to handle the transportation and just pay them some money.
Although it has not been announced to the public, a machine in Daming has already been started.
The entire country was preparing for war, with armor, weapons, food, and manpower all being prepared one by one.
The capital city instantly became quiet, and the officials in the court no longer talked about these things.
Everyone knew that a war was coming because the country was frantically preparing for it.
In such a situation, speaking up is not a wise choice, and everyone is busy making arrangements in private.
The nobles and relatives were all looking for an opportunity to go to the battlefield. Everyone knew that this would be a great victory and that they would make great contributions after going to the battlefield.
This is a great opportunity to make a fortune, how could they let it go?
They are all seizing the time to communicate and build relationships.
On the other hand, these people are seizing the opportunity to plan their businesses, and many are even stockpiling goods.
In their view, Liaodong and Mongolia are both good places. If they can destroy the Jiannu this time, those places will belong to the Ming Dynasty!
Whether it is wild ginseng in the mountains or raised Liaodong goats, they are all good things, and the price of cashmere has long been sky-high.
Besides these, it is said that there are even better things there, such as various ores, iron ore, and coal mines.
They can also ship goods from there to North Korea and dump their own products.
In recent years, driven by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many people have come up with the concept of dumping, selling some of the things they produce at relatively low prices.
Of course, it is only relatively low, in fact it is still very violent. Then use the money to buy supplies at low prices from other places, such as various things from North Korea, and sell them back to make a lot of money.
In recent years, business in Daning City has been booming, and trade with the Mongols has been going very well.
Daning City has become a new trading base, with countless Ming merchants heading north. Besides the Mongols, there are also the Jiannu. Kill them all and you'll have your own pastures.
These people are ready to make a fortune.
Time flies, and autumn comes in the blink of an eye.
Autumn came early this year. After all, we are about to enter the ice age, and the weather turned cold very early.
The leaves are yellow and the cold wind is blowing. The howling north wind makes people feel cold all over.
Zhu Youxiao, wrapped in a bearskin coat and wearing a dog-skin hat on his head, got out of the carriage.
Speaking of which, this was made by Zhu Youxiao, and he was preparing to equip his personal army. Recently, he also got some cotton. Of course, it was mainly used to make cotton clothes, not for weaving and spinning.
The border troops had been equipped with new cotton coats and trousers, as well as cotton hats. The kind that covered the ears was very effective in keeping out the cold.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will station troops in Liaodong for a long time, so the kang, iron stove and other things have all been equipped with supporting measures. When the time comes, coal can be mined in Liaodong and burned, and firewood can also be burned to keep the border troops from getting cold.
Back then, Northeast China hadn't yet opened up, and the land was teeming with roe deer. While it wasn't quite like beating roe deer with clubs, scooping fish with ladles, or letting pheasants fly into the rice pot, it was close. Life in the Northeast was better; aside from staying warm, there weren't any other issues.
The weather is getting colder, and maybe we can eat frozen meat from Northeast China in Beijing, which has not been thawed all the way here.
Soon, heavy snow will fall north of the Yangtze River, and the entire area north of the Yangtze River will be covered with heavy snow.
It's so cold inside Shanhaiguan that it's hard to imagine how cold it would be in Northeast China. This is something that people in later generations cannot understand. Do you need to bring a stick to the toilet in such cold weather?
After driving away his wild thoughts, Zhu Youxiao got off the carriage, glanced at Bi Maokang who was kneeling upright not far away and said, "Alright, there's no need to kneel in such a cold weather. Get up quickly."
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao walked forward and continued as he walked, "If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed quickly and hurriedly followed behind Zhu Youxiao.
