Since Zhu Ying became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has put a lot of effort into military, industry, economy, and politics.

Some good management systems from previous lives will also be brought out to suit the current world situation.

Of course, with the endorsement of high-yield crops, even if some places take slightly bigger steps, it will not have a big impact.

Zhu Ying's idea has always been to make the Ming Dynasty last longer and to correct some mistakes that have occurred in history in a timely manner.

In fact, Zhu Ying himself did not have much feeling about employing people, because the court he saw now was the one after Zhu Yuanzhang had carried out several purges.

The kind of suppression of imperial power by the civil service group that existed in the history of the Central Plains dynasties did not exist at all.

During the Hongwu period, the emperor's power was so strong that it suppressed the entire court. Even if he was wrong, the ministers below did not have the courage to refute him.

Basically, everything that could make Zhu Yuanzhang upset has been buried in the ground.

Now Zhu Ying actually has control of the court, but has not officially inherited the throne. All the pressure is on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Perhaps after Zhu Ying ascended the throne, these civil servants would become a little more active, at least they wouldn't have to worry about whether they could survive until the end of the court session.

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't killed many people recently, but this doesn't mean that the shadow in the hearts of his ministers can be forgotten. Everyone knows what the consequences will be if they anger His Majesty.

As for overseas, Zhu Ying simply followed some ideas from his previous life to develop the Ming navy, support maritime trade, and increase the income of the Ming treasury and the people.

However, they forgot that they could use the influence of the Ming Dynasty to attract talents from all over the world.

If all the talents in the world were attracted to the Ming Dynasty, what a brilliant spark of civilization would occur.

Just thinking about it makes me feel particularly excited.

"Sultana, you gave me a very good suggestion. How can I thank you?" Zhu Ying said to Sultana with a smile.

Sultana pouted her lips slightly and said dejectedly, "I'm pregnant, and the doctor told me not to have sex. How can I thank you so much?"

Zhu Ying was speechless. Why did this girl think about that all day long? Couldn't she have other hobbies?

Fortunately, I am strong, otherwise I would not be able to bear it.

But then I thought of something.

"Since you like music, after returning to Ming, I will have someone publish an announcement in the official newspaper, recruiting people from all over the world, including overseas, who are good at music to come to the capital of Ming to study and exchange ideas."

"I will build a new academy in the capital, the Ming World Music Academy, to bring together all those who are good at and like music from all over the world."

"I will inform all sea traders that anyone who is good at music, no matter who he is, as long as he has not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, can take my Ming Dynasty ship to the capital for free, and all tuition fees will be waived. The academy will provide food and accommodation."

"This way, you only need to stay in Daming to listen to music from all over the world. No matter how far away a place is, as long as my Daming ships can reach it, I will find someone who understands music for you."

Sultana's eyes lit up and she asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Are you really willing to do this for me?"

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "I am the only one by your side in Daming, but as the grandson of Daming, I cannot be with you every day. The only thing I can do is to make you live as happily as possible."

"The Music Academy is not only of literary significance to you, but also to the entire Ming Dynasty. It is natural to do something that kills two birds with one stone."

The improvement of Ming culture does not mean that it remains unchanged. The Central Plains dynasty has never been externally exclusive since ancient times. As the saying goes, "the sea is vast and can accommodate all rivers." It is entirely possible for Zhu Ying to make Ming a music mecca for the entire world.

It's nothing more than spending some insignificant money, whether it's the cost of building the college or providing food and accommodation, for Zhu Ying, it's really just a drop in the ocean, not a single drop in the ocean.

But such actions will have a profound impact on future generations.

Music is just the beginning, other aspects will gradually be strengthened in the future.

Sultana's eyes were full of love.

She was really glad that she had insisted on coming to the Ming Dynasty and met Zhu Ying by chance.

I learned from Zhu Ying that they rarely go outside the Wenxiang Pavilion, but it just happened to be such a rare occasion that they met each other.

Although you can't have sex when you are pregnant, you can still do some other things.

…

Wala.

Dzungarian tribe.

After more than a month's long journey, Yao Guangxiao and his party finally arrived in the Wala area.

The journey was very safe. According to Zhu Ying's order, a large order was placed directly with the Beiyuan Mercenary Association, which attracted frantic scrambles from many Beiyuan tribes.

Since the establishment of the Beiyuan Employment Association, the current Beiyuan has long since abandoned the habit of extortion.

Because there was plenty of grain in the Ming Dynasty, and with the continuous planting of high-yield crops, people starving to death became very rare.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., which were originally more unpalatable than rice and wheat, now have more cooking methods due to more meticulous processing.

Among them, grinding into powder is the most common, such as corn flour, potato flour, and sweet potato flour. The taste is really not much worse than wheat.

A full meal was a godsend for the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, if they had not been unable to survive, most of the tribes in the Northern Yuan Dynasty would not have risked their lives to plunder.

Every time we go out, it is already very good if two or three out of ten young and strong people in the tribe can return.

Now that I have a place to earn money and eat, what else can I ask for?

It sounds bad to say outside, as if you are working for the Ming Dynasty.

As long as I can have food to eat, that's all I can do.

Now almost all the tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have become completely dependent on the Ming Dynasty. Families in many tribes are thinking about giving birth to more sons and sending them to the Northern Yuan Employment Association when they grow up.

Some half-grown children have been taught since childhood how to make a living in the Beiyuan Employment Association.

The difficult historical problems seemed to be solved so easily in Zhu Ying's hands.

It is said that orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and shelter.

Of course, from a historical perspective, the peaceful coexistence between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is constrained by considerable conditions.

If Zhu Ying was no longer around, or if there was unrest in the Ming Dynasty, would the relationship still be so harmonious in the future? It is hard to say.

Perhaps when the Northern Yuan Dynasty tears up the alliance in the future, there will still be scholars who will curse the former Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, saying that it was he who left such a huge hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty and fed more ungrateful people.

It is just like when Cao Cao brought in Hu people from outside because nine out of ten Han households in the Central Plains were deserted, which led to the Five Barbarians Invasion of China.

There is also endless debate and mixed opinions on this point.

It seems that Zhu Ying is now walking on the path that Cao Cao once walked.

But in terms of the pros and cons today, the harmony between the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is more in line with the rapidly developing Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying was confident that the Ming Dynasty could continue to suppress the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

If future generations really give birth to a few wicked children, what can be done about it? The only thing we can do is to make them grow longer.

There is no such thing as an eternal and unchanging dynasty in this world.

Zhu Ying is still young, so he doesn't need to think too much about these aspects. He should first let the Ming Dynasty have a greater influence on the world.

"I can't believe that the Northern Yuan Dynasty has become like this. The grassland that was once in chaos is now full of singing and dancing. Your Highness has really done something that no one has ever done before."

Yao Guangxiao recalled his journey along the way and felt a little emotional.

After placing an order with the Beiyuan Mercenary Association, a high level of credit score was posted, which directly attracted the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry to accept the order.

That’s right, they are the imperial cavalry guards who protect the Northern Yuan Khan Elbek.

There's nothing we can do about it, we all have to eat, even Elbek has expenses.

Even the Royal Guards have to take orders to make more money.

In the employment association, credit points are more valuable than money.

It is called credit points, but in fact it is a kind of paper money, similar to treasure notes, but it is only circulated in mercenary guilds.

When accepting many orders, you also need a credit guarantee, otherwise you will not be eligible to accept the order.

Under the escort of the Northern Yuan cavalry, Yao Guangxiao of course had a smooth journey to the Wala side.

Wala is a general term for an ethnic group consisting of more than a dozen tribes, large and small.

The three leading tribes were Dzungar, Dzungar and Torghut.

The Dzungar tribe was the most powerful.

Naturally, Yao Guangxiao came here first.

The arrival of the Northern Yuan cavalry caused excitement among many tribes. After all, these were real grassland cavalry, very different from the ordinary grassland herdsmen who rode horses.

But the weapons he carries are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

His skillful horsemanship demonstrates his powerful fighting ability.

Yao Guangxiao had already contacted before coming, and he did not come here without authorization.

The Oirat side also welcomed the envoys from the Ming Dynasty.

The current Ming Dynasty represented a powerful military force, endless food, and endless money to the Oirat. Because of the Northern Yuan Dynasty between them, there was no conflict between the Oirat and the Ming Dynasty.

Not long after, a group of people came out from the yurt.

“Master, Master!!!”

Before anyone arrived, a loud shout was heard.

This voice gave Yao Guangxiao a very familiar feeling.

As they got closer, Yao Guangxiao immediately recognized them. Aren't these the two disciples, Yuan Zhen and Yuan Guang, whom he had arranged to go to the Western Regions to seek refuge?

Six years ago.

At that time, Zhu Ying was still in Peking, preparing to follow Zhu Di to the Ming Dynasty to mourn the death of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Di didn't know that Zhu Yingzhen was his eldest nephew, so he wanted to make the fake one real so as to leave a way for himself to become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

So Yao Guangxiao arranged for two of his apprentices to build a fake tomb as the tomb of the biological son of Zhu Ying's former godfather.

Fearing that the matter would be exposed, especially by the Jinyiwei, he asked his two disciples to leave Ming Dynasty and go to the Western Regions after finishing their work.

In today's world where communications are underdeveloped, such a departure makes it almost impossible to see each other again.

In fact, Zhu Di had originally wanted to kill these two people to prevent future troubles, but Yao Guangxiao did not want to let his apprentice who had followed him for many years die in this way.

Later, Zhu Ying became the crown prince, and these things naturally became a thing of the past.

Yao Guangxiao once sent people to the Western Regions to look for them, but there was no news of these two disciples. Unexpectedly, they were seen in Yuwala now.

"Master, a few days ago, my junior brother and I heard that you were coming to Wala. We were so excited that we didn't sleep for several days."

"Today I finally got to see Master."

Yuan Zhen's face showed a very excited expression.

Yuanzhen and Yuanguang entered the temple when they were young, and were later assigned to work under Yao Guangxiao. Over the years, Yao Guangxiao was more like a father to them than a master.

After six years of separation, the two never thought that there would be a day when they would see their master again.

"I have wronged you all these years."

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

Yao Guangxiao was not a heartless person, he just said that many aspects were not as important as his own ambitions.

Now when he sees again the disciples who once followed him day and night, he feels extremely moved.

One word of grievance made Yuanzhen and Yuanguang burst into tears.

I immediately told Yao Guangxiao about the past years.

It turned out that when the two men finished their business and left Ming Dynasty, Yao Guangxiao gave them a lot of gold and silver.

He originally wanted to go to the Western Regions and become a wealthy man, but he encountered robbers on the way and lost both his money and his life. Not only did he lose his money, he was also sold as a slave.

Fortunately, the two were monks, and finally a noble bought them.

After two or three years, the Ming Dynasty took off. Because of the relationship with the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce, the Western Regions also paid great attention to the Han people, especially those who knew how to translate.

The two of them can be said to have finally gotten their reward after suffering so much hardship.

Later, by chance, he encountered the looting of the Wala and was displaced to the Wala.

It just so happened that the Ming Dynasty's official gazette began to be published, and even the nobles on the Oirat side began to yearn for it. The two brothers who knew Chinese suddenly made a comeback.

I heard that he once worked as a minor monk in the Ming Tianjie Temple, which is even more amazing.

The Wala itself had the Laba Sect, and the two brothers were familiar with it. After going around in circles, they finally became the bishops of the Dzungar tribe.

Yao Guangxiao felt very sad when listening to his two apprentices' past stories, and recalled some things that happened before he met Zhu Ying.

Now it seems that it is all gone.

With two disciples here, it naturally became very easy for Yao Guangxiao to persuade the Oirat to join forces to fight against Timur.

Yuanzhen and Yuanguang were also reliable. They brought in the Khan of the Dzungar tribe to meet them that day.

It's easier to get things done if you have acquaintances.

The Dzungar Khan was very enthusiastic about Yao Guangxiao's arrival and arranged a grand bonfire party to welcome him that day.

He also said that he would contact the Khan of the Durbert and Torghut tribes.

Discuss together how to deal with Timur.
