On the outskirts of Daming City, next to the camp of Xuanjiawei.

It is located northwest of the capital, closer to the Yangtze River region, and is also the location chosen by Zhu Ying.

Based on the Xuanjiawei Camp, Zhu Ying was planning to set up an industrial park belonging to the Ming Dynasty here.

At this moment, Zhu Ying was looking at the chattering craftsmen from the Obaro countries in front of him with a confused look on his face.

In his previous life, his English was not bad. If nothing else, at least it was not a problem for daily communication. Although he had not used it for more than ten years since he came to the Ming Dynasty, the basics were still there.

But now, I can’t understand a word. What the hell is this?

It was a long while later that Zhu Ying realized the situation of the Obarro countries after reviewing history.

Unlike the Chinese ideographic writing system, the English system belongs to the Latin system and is a phonetic writing system.

The concept of phonetic notation is to give a character to something when you see it.

For example, sheep is a sound, wool is a sound, and lamb leg is a sound.

These three English words cannot be connected at all; they all exist independently.

With the Chinese character system, there is no need to worry about this at all.

This also results in the fact that English vocabulary is frequently updated, which means that few people will be able to understand the English classics produced now, hundreds of years from now.

Although there is a difference between traditional and simplified Chinese characters, after reading a sentence and looking at the characters, you can guess the meaning almost exactly even if you don’t quite understand it.

The language used by the more than 300 Obarro craftsmen in front of Zhu Ying was medieval English, which was different from later English.

In this case, how could it be possible to understand?

"Our ancestors' things are still the best. These messed up languages ​​are annoying to listen to. In the Latin language family, almost anyone can create a language. Just name it directly."

At this time, the Jinyiwei in charge of translation cleverly translated: "Your Highness, these Obalo craftsmen are praising Your Highness. They say thank you for saving them from the water and fire. Your Highness is their god."

"They will spend their whole lives repaying His Highness and working for His Highness."

Zhu Ying nodded. He was not surprised by such a reaction. Although they had bought the tickets, given the current situation in Europe, Zhu Ying didn't even need to think about it. When they got the tickets, everyone would rush to get on board.

This group of craftsmen should be somewhat famous.

"Tell them that this is the Ming Dynasty. The vast territory of tens of millions of miles beneath their feet belongs to the Ming Dynasty, which is twice the size of their Roman Empire."

"There are also Semu people like them in the Ming Dynasty. If they perform well, I can allow them to join the Ming Dynasty household registration and become citizens of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Ying looked at the more than 300 Semu people who were staring at him without knowing their place, and spoke slowly.

Many Jinyiwei were already sweating profusely.

Especially the captain of the Jinyiwei who led the group was now full of regret. They had not expected that these Semites were so ignorant of etiquette that they dared to look directly at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He felt that he had been confused by the Semites' frequent kneeling movements. His eyes quietly turned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got angry because of this, their trip would be more than a waste.

Not only will you not get any credit, you'll probably even get some punishment.

As the Jinyiwei translated and read out loudly the meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the Semites knelt on the ground again and began to sing loudly in their native language.

There was no point in communicating and Zhu Ying felt bored staying there, so he could only prepare to leave.

Before leaving, Zhu Ying instructed the Jinyiwei: "Don't let them gather together and disrupt their incorporation into other craftsmen."

"Don't give them the opportunity to speak their own language. At the same time, send some teachers over. Don't be afraid of the trouble and teach them more."

"After three months, I want to see them able to communicate in Chinese."

The leading captain immediately bowed and said, "I obey your highness's order."

We must guard against foreign disturbances.

There are too many precedents in history, both ancient and modern. How could Zhu Ying make the same mistake?

Even if there are more than 300 people, it seems unlikely to cause much trouble in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the capital. However, this process must be finalized.

There were also Semites in the Ming Dynasty, and they had to be allowed to truly integrate into the country. This way, within three generations, they would become native Ming people.

Of course there are no privileges. Even excellent craftsmen should be treated equally.

The living environment in the Ming Dynasty capital was a million times better than their precarious hometown.

Since the assassination attempt, the Ming Dynasty seems to have become more prosperous.

Of course, this prosperity is currently limited to the capital and its surrounding areas.

First of all, it seems that all daily necessities are experiencing a large-scale price reduction, and the prices of all kinds of items, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., have generally dropped by one third.

Don't underestimate this one third, it means that the money that ordinary people spend in a month to live can be saved for ten days.

After most of the chambers of commerce in the capital suffered a huge blow, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce naturally became the largest and most extensive chamber of commerce in the capital.

It can be said that, except for the business activities of grassroots people, the other 80% of business activities are all controlled by the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce.

The pricing of commodities and various prices of external freight are well controlled.

All the people in the capital also began to understand that all the stores under the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce had clearly marked prices and there was no such thing as cheating people.

This simple action established the reputation of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce throughout the capital.

In comparison, business for other chambers of commerce would naturally become more difficult.

If we don't change, we will perish.

Coupled with the demise of a large number of gang leaders, the current capital has undergone almost earth-shaking changes for the lower-class people.

Those who usually collected protection fees under various names and oppressed the people seemed to have disappeared overnight.

"Uncle, the current staff of the Public Security Bureau is of mixed quality. This is extremely important. It can't be that if the gangs are gone, the yamen runners will become the ones who oppress the people."

"Apart from anything else, those yamen runners who have dirty hands and arbitrarily extort money from vendors and shops must be severely punished and completely expelled from the Public Security Department."

"We must truly benefit the people and maintain good security in the capital, so that ordinary people can walk on the streets at any time without worrying about being bullied."

"As I said before, even high-ranking officials, princes and nobles, if they interfere with the work of the Public Security Department, they must be arrested according to the law."

In the mansion of Duke Liang, Zhu Ying took a sip of tea and then spoke in a deep voice.

Now that he had some free time, he immediately came over to Lan Yu and reorganized the Public Security Department.

Faced with the somewhat aggressive gaze of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lan Yu subconsciously avoided it.

These words sounded fine, but Lan Yu knew very well in his heart that they were spoken entirely for himself and were extremely targeted.

Ever since Lan Yu took up the position of Grand Commander of the Ming Dynasty's Public Security Bureau, many of his former subordinates and good friends from the Huaixi Hometown Association came to give gifts and build bridges with him.

The purpose is very simple, which is to allow the younger generation to get a position in the Public Security Department.

The Huaixi Hometown Association is very different from the Huaixi Military Generals and Nobles Group, including a wider gender.

This includes not only military generals, but also civil officials from Huaixi, and even clans and wealthy families.

Some time ago, the door of the Duke of Liang's mansion was crowded with people coming and going.

Lan Yu was a person who cared a lot about face. Besides, if there was no one available in the current Public Security Bureau, he would extend a large hand to welcome people, and most of the people who came with gifts would be directly admitted to the Public Security Bureau.

Thousands of police officers from the Public Security Bureau just appeared.

Those who are qualified to give gifts must have a family condition that is not too bad. Just take a look.

Wow, these thousands of young people are all full of energy, not at all like the pale and skinny ordinary people.

This team is quite unique among all the government offices.

In fact, Zhu Ying knew about this situation and even condoned it.

Sometimes it is difficult to break off personal relationships, and there is no need for Zhu Ying to be the bad guy. Moreover, a considerable number of these people were even elders from the old man's village.

Now that he has become successful and has gone too far, I'm afraid these people will write to the old man and complain a few words.

Zhu Ying is not afraid of people with connections, as long as they can truly abide by the law, that's enough.

It is basically impossible to expect these young people who have just joined the Public Security Bureau to transform themselves into law-abiding yamen runners.

So today, Zhu Ying came over to have a good talk with Lan Yu. As for this villain, it would be most appropriate for the Duke of Liang to do it.

However, facing the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lan Yu could not play dumb and did not answer for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying's expression gradually darkened, and he said bluntly: "Duke Liang can't handle this matter."

The serious tone made Duke Liang realize that things might not be so easy.

"I'm sorry, old brothers, this is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants."

An idea flashed through Lan Yu's mind, and then he bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will completely rectify the Public Security Department within three days."

After saying this, Lan Yu realized that from now on, he would have trouble with his fellow villagers in Huaixi.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, Lan Yu walked into the Public Security Bureau office, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, with a gloomy face.

By noon,

In the Huagai Hall of the Daming Imperial Palace, after listening to the report of Jiang Li, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Our eldest grandson, this little vixen, did a great job."

"There are indeed many young people among our fellow villagers who do nothing all day long and just eat and wait for death. In the capital, they usually gather in groups of two or three, act tyrannically, and oppress the people at will."

"There are no major mistakes, but there are many minor ones. If we take action to rectify them, it seems that we will hurt the harmony among the old brothers."

"This move of our eldest grandson is still the best. Call them all into the Public Security Department and let Lan Yu be in charge of them. Hahahaha, not bad, not bad!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang captured Nanjing City, there were not the millions of people there are today.

Afterwards, hundreds of thousands of people migrated here from all over the place.

Some of them were wealthy families from Jiangnan, and another part were from Huaixi, Zhu Yuanzhang’s hometown.

It's not just a few thousand people, nor tens of thousands of people, but at least hundreds of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand people.

In the current capital, Huaixi dialect is largely the official language. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's habit of calling himself "our" can be heard everywhere on the streets of Nanjing.

These people were Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute supporters, so naturally Zhu Yuanzhang could not be too strict with them.

When they first migrated here, Zhu Yuanzhang gave them all kinds of land, so they basically lived a rich life.

The older generation is fine, but the younger generation is completely different. Those who have nothing to do form circles, do nothing on weekdays, love laziness and hate work, and love to show off their bravery and fight fiercely.

The most important thing is that even some grassroots officials and yamen runners cannot be provoked because of their complicated relationships, and some of them can even reach the top.

To some extent, they are very similar to the Eight Banners descendants of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and can be called the cancer of the capital.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard monitored the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of these things, but he didn't know where to start. However, his eldest grandson's move made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

Liu He said at the right time, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very intelligent and has unique insights on many matters. He always makes surprising moves. This may seem like a small matter, but it has made a great contribution to the stability of the capital."

"You can see the big picture from the small details. Your Highness the Crown Prince's talent is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is truly a person blessed by God."

Hearing Liu He's flattery, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled even more happily.

Nothing could make him happier than praising his eldest grandson.

"A thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by a small hole. Apart from being a little too soft-hearted, my eldest grandson is truly impeccable in governing the country. He is excellent."

"I am just worried that my eldest grandson has such a kind heart. If he is bullied in the future and I am not around, what will I do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some distress.

People always like to think the worst. Zhu Yuanzhang was pleased but also worried by his eldest grandson's kindness.

It seemed that at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already forgotten Zhu Ying's ten years in the Western Regions, and how he rose up in that environment and built the current Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

To Zhu Yuanzhang, the scars that crisscrossed Zhu Ying's body and the traces of battle were not achievements but proof of suffering.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly stood up, looked up at the clear sky, and said slowly and firmly:

"If that's the case, then let us be the bad guy."

"If there is anything that is getting in the way, we will help clear it up."

"If Da Sun is not easy to kill, let's kill him."

"The eldest grandson is not easy to move, let us do it."

"If the eldest grandson can't do it, we will do it."

"Let's take a good look at how many people in the Ming Dynasty dare to go against our grandson."

"If there are a thousand, I will kill a thousand of them. If there are ten thousand, I will kill ten thousand."

"Even if it's one hundred thousand or one million, so what!"
