For Zhu Ying now, the biggest problem is that no one is available.

It sounds a bit funny, but now to the actual situation, that's it.

Zhu Ying now has enough manpower to maintain the situation in the capital. Even if he summons all the people from the Chamber of Commerce, he will be helpless in the face of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Some things don't mean that once they are arranged, they can be fully explained and implemented.

Contrary to reality, whether it is the court or other parties, it is mostly reasonable to withdraw from the regulations.

It is even said that many ministers came to the memorial and suggested that they can indeed benefit the people.

But when it comes to implementation, there are problems everywhere.

No matter how good the policy is, it still needs reliable people to implement it before it can be truly implemented.

Just like the current capital, whether it is in the newspaper or in business.

Even the construction of Zhengyang Avenue, the establishment of the school, enrollment, and a series of other things went very smoothly.

This is all because in the capital, whether it is Zhu Ying or the Jin Yiwei directly under Zhu Yuanzhang, they all have strong control.

That’s why it’s so easy to do something.

But after leaving the capital, the situation completely reversed, and progress was very slow.

This is why it is said that we must go out of the capital and patrol the world.

There are simply not too many things that local officials can do to deceive superiors and conceal from inferiors.

But before leaving the capital, Zhu Ying still had to deal with some things.

Ping An Teahouse.

Although it had only been a few months, Zhu Ying still felt a sense of embarrassment when she came here again.

When he first arrived in the capital, this was where he settled.

It was also here that I met the old man.

"If I hadn't met the old man, would that mean I would be King Annan now?"

Zhu Ying couldn't help but think.

While thinking about it, Song Zhong came to the private room to report: "Your Highness, we have arrived."

Zhu Ying regained her composure and nodded: "Let him come over."

Then, Pir Mahima came in respectfully, caressed his chest and saluted, "Your Highness, Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and grandson of Samarkand, Pir Mahima, would like to say hello to you."

"Sit down, this is not a palace, so don't be too restrained."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Looking at Pi'er Ma Heima in front of him, Zhu Ying asked with a smile: "I don't know if you have come to visit me in Da Ming, but my life is quite comfortable these days."

"If there are any deficiencies in the arrangements, please just tell me."

"The food in the Middle East is very different from the food in the capital, so there are some places that I'm not used to."

Pi'er Ma Heima obviously didn't expect His Highness Taisun to be so kind, and he suddenly felt flattered.

He stood up from sitting down and saluted, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous place I have ever seen."

"This place is far away from barbarism and is full of civilized etiquette. The food here is the best I have ever eaten in my life. There is no comparison with that in Samarkand."

"If it weren't for my identity, I would even want to live here all my life. Here, I even feel like I can eat food from all over the world."

Zhu Ying smiled and waved her hands and said, "I just said it, don't be too formal, just sit down and talk."

Pi'er Ma Heima quickly obeyed His Highness Taisun's instructions and sat down on the chair.

After seeing him sit down, Zhu Ying continued, "I once heard Yunwen talk about you. He said you were his good friend."

"Since you are my brother's friend, you are also my friend."

"Friends shouldn't be bound by too many etiquettes, what do you think?"

Pi'er Ma Heima's whole body was trembling.

This is not any other emotion, but a feeling of excitement and excitement.

In fact, Zhu Ying didn't know that in Pi'er Ma Heima's heart, he had already worshiped Zhu Ying as an idol.

First of all, in terms of age, Zhu Ying is only a few years older than Ma Heima, which easily makes Ma Heima feel close to him.

In addition, during this period, the capital was developing rapidly, and Ma Heima was involved in all of this.

Now Ma Heima is no different from other people in the capital. Every morning early in the morning, he sits in a teahouse or restaurant and listens to the storyteller explaining the newspaper.

It wasn't that Ma Heima couldn't read Chinese characters, or that he couldn't buy Di newspapers.

There is a separate Di newspaper shop near Tianjie Temple where the Foreign Minister is located. Basically, you can buy it without queuing.

But if you look at it yourself, the atmosphere is completely different from the atmosphere in restaurants and teahouses.

People talk about the content in the Di newspaper, and they often have some particularly unique insights that make people's eyes shine.

Gradually, Pier Ma Heima integrated into it.

In the capital, Mongolian looks like his are very common, and no one would even take a second look at him.

Especially recently, when cement recipes are being revealed.

Pi'er Ma Heima has completely become Zhu Ying's little fanboy.

Too atmospheric.

Pi'er Mahenma believed that he definitely couldn't do it, so he admired people who could do it so much.

The property on the other side of the grassland has not arrived for a long time. I was a little anxious at first, but now I hope it will come more slowly.

He has become very accustomed to life in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

I can’t imagine what life would be like if I returned to Samarkand.

Zhu Ying's words of friendship made her burst into tears, giving her a feeling of recognition.

"Your Highness, I am very honored to be your friend."

Pi'er Mahenma wanted to get up, but when he remembered His Highness's words just now, he just sat on his seat, bowed his head and stroked his chest in salute.

Zhu Ying pondered for a moment and said:

"Speaking of which, we are somewhat destined. Before this, I lived in the Western Region for many years. Many businessmen there came from Samarkand."

"After going back and forth, we have become familiar with each other. You must know that I founded the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Western Region. After some exchanges, we established a cooperative relationship with them."

"The Heroes Chamber of Commerce also has a base in Samarkand."

"However, the business of the Chamber of Commerce there has never been very good, and it has been suppressed and squeezed out a lot."

At this point, Zhu Ying stopped.

Pi'er Mahema was naturally able to understand, and quickly said: "If I go back, His Highness's Chamber of Commerce of Heroes will be protected by Samarkand wherever it can reach."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying nodded with satisfaction.

Now Timur's sphere of influence is constantly expanding, and the territory is getting wider and wider.

And the benefits from this are even more huge.

Although the status of merchants is not as obvious as that of Ming Dynasty, it cannot be said to be much better.

Zhu Ying had long wanted to get involved in Timur's business, but the distance was too far and it was difficult to control.

Pi'er Mahenma is a good breakthrough point.

After a moment of deep thought, Zhu Ying said, "I heard that your Excellency is going back."

Pi'er Mahima nodded and said with some nostalgia: "It has been too long since I arrived in the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of troubles on my grandfather's side now. As a descendant of Samarkand, this is a responsibility I cannot avoid. .”

"Although I really want to stay here, I have to leave."

Zhu Ying replied: "The Ming Dynasty will always welcome your arrival, my friend, no matter what time it is."

"There is no good gift here in the capital for you to take back to express my feelings."

"I wonder if the Lord of Samarkand is interested in the cement formula."

Hearing this, Pi'er Mahenma simply couldn't imagine it, and asked in disbelief:

"Your Majesty Taisun, do you want me to take the cement formula to Samarkand?"

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "If the Lord of Samarkand likes this gift, then it represents my feelings."

Hearing the definite answer, Pi'er Mahenma almost jumped for joy.

He said hurriedly: "I like it. My grandfather will definitely like it very much. The road in Samarkand is very difficult to walk. Every year, a large number of slaves are driven to repair it."

"Only in this way can the knights of Samarkha pass quickly."

"If there is cement, the road in Samarkand will become very smooth, and knights can fly on it."

At this moment, Pi'er Ma Heima didn't think much at all and just said what was in his heart.

The corner of Zhu Ying's mouth twitched slightly, this Pi'er Ma Heima was too unreliable, how could he say it so directly.

If I hadn't planned to send the cement formula a long time ago, if someone else heard about it like this, wouldn't it feel like I was scheming against the enemy?

That is, Zhu Ying knew that the seemingly powerful Timur Empire was actually full of hidden dangers.

Once Timur's rule is lost, it will fall apart in an instant and will not be able to pose any danger to the Ming Dynasty.

That's why I have no scruples, and now that the cement formula is open, as long as there is enough money, Pi'er Ma Heima can buy it from others.

Don't even give me a favor.

After all, the property that came from the grassland was secretly robbed by Zhu Ying on the way.

"If the Lord of Samarkand likes you, then that's the best thing."

Zhu Ying can be sure that after Timur gets the cement formula, he will definitely recruit slaves on a large scale and vigorously build cement roads in the area centered on Samarkand.

Concrete roads, from a certain perspective, are also a double-edged sword.

Although the knights of Samarkand can set off faster, the enemies of Samarkand can also come faster.

This is especially true after the collapse of the entire empire.

After a slight pause, Zhu Ying clapped her hands.

Song Zhong, who was waiting outside the door, walked in carrying a wooden box.

The box was placed on the table and opened towards Pi'er Mahima.

"I'm busy with my affairs here. Maybe I won't be able to spare time to see you off when you leave."

"Here are five hundred taels of gold, and they will be used as my farewell fare. This journey is long and requires a lot of expenses."

"Since we are already friends, don't refuse, as it will hurt the friendship easily."

Pi'er Ma Heima originally wanted to speak, but was discovered by Zhu Ying and stopped.

When the words came to this point, Pi'er Mahenma naturally had no reason to refuse, and said with some emotion: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Looking at Pi'er Ma Heima's expression, Zhu Ying knew that this meeting was basically in place.

Now Pi'er Mahima himself didn't know that ten years later, his brother Mahima Sultan died violently, and he became the only eldest grandson and was designated as the heir to the empire by Timur.

Zhu Ying can be regarded as investing first.

Even with Mahema Sultan's current status, it is very worthwhile.

It is conceivable that the business of the Chamber of Commerce in the territory ruled by the Timur Empire will inevitably increase.

After returning home, Pi'er Ma Heima was naturally very excited.

He didn't expect His Highness Taisun to be so attentive and even prepared money for him.

Otherwise, now he has the reputation of being the grandson of Timur, but in fact his money bag is already dry, and he is still waiting for property to be sent from the grassland.

In recent days, I have been feeling a little strapped.

His Highness Taisun's place is really a timely help.

Moreover, when leaving, His Highness Taisun told himself that if he encountered any difficulties on the way back, he could just go to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

The implication is very obvious.

Your Highness, Taisun, understands me very well.

"Let's go to Laifu Restaurant first and have a big meal, then follow me to Yixiangju to spend the night."

On the street, seeing His Royal Highness Taisun missing, Pi'er Mahenma said to the Mongolian envoy in a grand voice.

Hearing the name of Yixiangju, the Mongolian envoy was shocked.

This is a real gold-selling cave, and the grade is the best in the entire capital.

Tonight, I am blessed.

.....

After leaving, Zhu Ying looked at the sky and saw that it was still early.

He had no intention of returning to the palace.

Order the carriage and go directly to the Military Academy.

Zhu Ying attached great importance to the Military Academy. In his vision, this would be the cradle of Ming Dynasty's defense talents in the future.

These talents not only protect the Ming Dynasty, but also have very important significance in opening up and expanding the territory.

In fact, Zhu Ying's purpose is already very obvious in the compilation of textbooks and the selection of talents.

If they were just military talents, there would be no need to learn anything like arithmetic.

In Zhu Ying's mind, most of these talents will not be sent to the frontier.

If Ming Dynasty wanted economic prosperity, it would naturally have to take advantage of its own advantages.

That is a trade surplus.

Daming's products are in very short supply around the world.

As long as you leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you won't have to worry about having nowhere to buy a series of goods such as porcelain, tea, and silk.

Even to a large extent, it can be used directly as currency.

Maritime trade, with the beginning of the Japanese conquest, is almost ready.

Just like Zheng He's voyages to the West in history.

However, what Zhu Ying wanted was not just a transaction, or to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

He wants to establish Ming Dynasty strongholds all over the world and truly take root.

And then indirectly affect the local indigenous people.

Spread culture and educate barbarians all over the world.
