Hongwu Dynasty

Lao Zhu also successfully completed a breakthrough shortly after Zhu Houzhao broke through. Like Zhu Houzhao, he suppressed all visions after the breakthrough, as if nothing had happened, and his mind was deep and unpredictable.

Then, Lao Zhu also encountered the same problem as Zhu Houzhao.

The development of new territories and slow population growth were two major problems that troubled Lao Zhu. He discussed with Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Lu Chang, Song Lian, Yang Xian and others for a long time, but no one could come up with a solution.

"Chongba, I heard that Zhu Houzhao's Taiwu Dynasty is already dealing with this matter. Why don't you learn from him."

Just when Lao Zhu was at a loss what to do, Queen Ma gave him an idea that was not even an idea.

In terms of long-term vision, no one in Lao Zhu's family is as good as Zhu Houzhao. Lao Zhu naturally understood this, but he felt a little embarrassed and snorted coldly: "We need to learn from that bastard Zhu Houzhao."

He was tough in words, but honest in action. The Hongwu Dynasty imitated the Taiwu Dynasty in many places, and he didn't care about one more thing. Anyway, it was Zhu Houzhao who took the blame.

Zhu Houzhao had become notorious in the Hongwu Dynasty and even the Yongle Dynasty due to his policy strategies such as charging heavy taxes on businessmen, arbitrarily suppressing civil servants, and supporting the separation of vassal families.

There was no other way. People from the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties did not dare to fight with Lao Zhu and Zhu Di, so they had no choice but to direct their anger at Zhu Houzhao, who was responsible for all this.

Erhu was ordered to summon Xiao Zhu, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Yang Xian, Lu Chang, Song Lian and other ministers. Lao Zhu was about to solve two major problems.

After some deliberation, Lao Zhu decided to follow Zhu Houzhao's example and divide the existing continent into large areas, develop and utilize them one by one, and implement a rest and recuperation policy.

Yongle Dynasty

"Our father and Zhu Houzhao move very quickly!"

Holding the information just sent by Jin Yiwei in his hand, Zhu Di looked incomprehensible, with a strange light in his eyes.

He turned around and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, the "cake-eating expert", and asked: "Second brother, how is the current situation?"

After eating too much cake, he was able to hold himself up and wake up his brain. Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes and said:

"That's it, Sanyang keeps the situation calm."

When Zhu Di heard this, his face changed slightly, and he felt very unhappy. Zhu Gaoxu's answer made him extremely dissatisfied.

The Hongwu Dynasty and the Taiwu Dynasty were both on the right track, so how could his Yongle Dynasty stand still?

In a time of great strife, if you don't advance, you will retreat. He doesn't want to withdraw from the ranks of the three giants of the Ming Dynasty.

However, his position is indeed a bit awkward. In front of him is Lao Zhu, the energetic father, and in the back is Zhu Houzhao, the ambitious sixth-generation grandson. Sandwiched between the two, the pressure is also huge.

"Second brother, now you are the only one who can take the lead next to dad, so you have to work hard!"

In order to fool Zhu Gaoxu into working hard, Zhu Di habitually drew up a pie, but secretly sighed in his heart that without the boss by his side, it would be troublesome to do anything.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent and had no desire for anything, and he had completely seen through Zhu Di's tricks.

Call him Gao Xu when he has something to do, and call him Stinky Qiu Ba when he has nothing to do. Who do you think he is?

He, Zhu Gaoxu, is not a fool. He is not the former Zhu Di who could enjoy himself for several days just by giving him a piece of pie.

He is still working hard, he is working hard, if his hard work had been useful, he would have been a prince long ago.

Even if he does become a prince, he will probably not be able to live in peace.

In recent years, Zhu Di and Empress Xu have given him two more younger brothers, and it is estimated that they will be introduced to compete with him in the future, just like they once used him to check and balance Zhu Gaochi.

In short, he didn't care about anything anymore and planned to lie down.

"Gao Xu, you really let dad down. Why don't you take any responsibility? No wonder I would choose the boss instead of you before Ming embarked on the extraordinary road."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu no longer wanted to eat the cake, Zhu Di rolled his eyes and tried to provoke the general.

He could handle the overall situation of the Prime Minister's government, but he had to let Zhu Gaoxu do some small things for him. He couldn't bear to face the endless memorials all day long.

Compared with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu's method of handling government affairs is indeed not very clever, but Zhu Gaochi will not come back to be the prince once he has been in power, so he can only make do with Zhu Gaochi.

As soon as Zhu Di mentioned Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't stand it. What he hated most was that Zhu Di compared him with Zhu Gaochi and shouted:

"Since the boss is so good, go and find him."

He was also very aggrieved. During Zhu Di's seclusion, it was good that he, a big boss who only knew how to wield swords and guns, could manage to keep the situation stable. However, Zhu Di was still not satisfied and asked him to work harder.

He just wanted to ask his father how hard he had to work before he would be satisfied. He also compared him with his boss to stimulate him. Is there such a father as this?

There was no place to go, otherwise he would have run away long ago. Everyone said that Grandpa Taizu was difficult to take care of, and his father who loved to draw cakes for him was not much better.

Zhu Di was annoyed by the second child who was easy to fool, and he was also a little embarrassed. Although it was only a little bit, who let the second child be easy to fool!

"Boss has boss's affairs. As the Prince of Han of the Yongle Dynasty, if you don't take the lead, no one will trust me."

"Dad, the person I trust the most is you."

It's not for nothing that Zhu Di likes to draw big cakes for Zhu Gaoxu. This guy is really easy to fool. With just a few words, he made him feel dizzy and went off to do things.

"Isn't it too much for you to do this?"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu leaving happily, Empress Xu could not help but be speechless. Zhu Di deceived her, and the second child actually believed it.

"Well, I have to find something for him to do. I don't know what it's like to have nothing to do all day long. I don't know what it's like to share my father's worries."

Zhu Di said solemnly, snickering secretly in his heart. It was too hard and tiring to do everything like an old scalper, and he couldn't bear the pain, so he had to suffer a lot.

He worked hard for his second brother in exchange for his leisurely life, and after a while, he would give Zhu Gaoxu some younger brothers.

Zhu Gaoxu shares his worries with his father, and Zhu Gaoxu's younger brother shares his worries with his elder brother. The whole family is happy, I am well, and everyone is well.

Zhu Gaoxu: I may be a fool, but you are the real one.

After deceiving Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di discussed political affairs with Empress Xu.

The person Zhu Di trusted the most was neither the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi, the second child Zhu Gaoxu, the third child Zhu Gaosui, nor his confidants such as Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, etc., but Empress Xu who accompanied him through many disasters.

Except for the two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks, all dynasties made almost the same choice and began to implement policies of recuperation and recuperation.

Large tracts of unexplored territory and a seriously insufficient population have reached a point where they must be addressed. Even if you have great ambitions, you must first restrain yourself at this time.

Being dormant for a while and reining in the sharp edge is also for the sake of going further in the future.

If you can't bear the momentary hardship and continue to push the Ming Dynasty ship forward at will, the final result will only be a mess of feathers, or even the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
