Zhu Di took the whip and whipped Zhao Ke personally. Every time he was whipped, he reprimanded: "The sergeant is your brother, and his wife is your sister-in-law. How can you bully him! How dare you ignore the ethics of human relations?"
Snapped!
Blood marks appeared on Zhao Ke's back.
After Zhu Di whipped him sixty times, Zhao Ke passed out and dropped his riding whip. Zhu Di looked at the entire army and shouted sternly: "Under the law, you only care about your own desires and break the law! If not, you and others would do it for him." Please beg for mercy, and I will behead him to set the record straight! Listen carefully, if a soldier insults his family again in the future, it will be useless for anyone to plead for mercy. The only option is to behead him!" xь.
"They are all reputable men. They crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How come they can't even control what's in their crotches? If anyone thinks he can't control it, tell me that there are a lot of eunuchs in Prince Yan's palace. With one knife, Go down, it’s all over! You all must think clearly, the family has family rules, the country has national laws, and there is no room for chaos..."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at his majestic father and was secretly surprised. In the past nine months, this was the first time that his father had become angry in front of everyone.
After Zhu Di finished dealing with Zhao Ke, Zhu Gaoxu came forward with Zhu Gaosui.
Zhu Di looked at his two sons with outstanding abilities, changed his face, and said gently: "I have worked hard for you during this period, training, hunting, prospecting, and smelting, and you have contributed no less. The nine countries of Yan At the beginning of the month, things have taken shape and the people and soldiers have settled down. You have done a great job."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled boldly, clasped his fists and said, "It is my child's long-cherished wish to expose the frost, cut off the thorns, and leave an eternal legacy for the Yan Kingdom in a land of sufficient size."
Zhu Di's eyes lit up: "Expose the frost and cut off the thorns to create a sizeable land. This is what Su Xun said in "Theory of Six Kingdoms". Why, are you still studying recently?"
Seeing that his father's attention had been attracted, Zhu Gaoxu straightened his chest and said, "Father, I heard from Mr. Jin that although this is a barbaric land, we cannot just use barbaric methods. We need to think of more ways. The child is not very smart, so he has to read ancient books to find out. Make progress."
"good very good."
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's performance and told Jin Zhong: "If you have free time, you might as well teach him more. The Analects of Confucius and Spring and Autumn Annals still need to be learned."
Jin Zhong said yes again and again. Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was happy, he lowered his head and sighed secretly.
You only know that you are happy, but you have never thought about why your father only talked about "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn" and not other books?
"The Analects" is the knowledge of life.
"Spring and Autumn" is the knowledge of being a minister.
Mencius said: "Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, but the rebellious ministers and traitors were afraid of it."
You didn't even understand your father's intention, and you were still excited. At your level, you are really far behind your father...
Zhu Gaoxu led Zhu Di to the military camp and pointed to the smelting plant to the north: "Father, this Dongping City is indeed an excellent place. Not only have we found coal mines, we have also found iron ore. With these two things, we can Create more farming tools and weapons. But my father, the iron ore area is more than twenty miles away from Dongping City, and transportation is inconvenient. I would like to arrange for a group of people to smelt it outside and then transport the finished products?"
Zhu Di did not agree with this proposal: "More than twenty miles is not far, and it won't hurt if you work hard. It is smelted outside and there is no defense. If they are hurt by wild animals, wouldn't it be harmful to them?"
Zhu Gaoxu was depressed. Is it dangerous to walk such a long way or to smelt on the spot? In the final analysis, I still don't trust myself enough, and I am afraid that I will build weapons privately.
Zhu Di saw molten iron being smelted, and the molten iron flowed out along the slot and entered the mold. After cooling, it is removed from the mold and a shovel is formed. The blacksmith reheats and hammers the shovel to make the edges sharper and easier to use.
There is iron and there is coal!
Zhu Yunwen did not cheat the Yan State. This is indeed a suitable place to establish a base. The most valuable thing is that gold, silver and copper mines were discovered here, which laid the foundation for future coinage. As for whether to use treasure money, we will discuss it later.
Zhu Gaoxu also proposed to implement his five-year plan: "Big brother's plan is too petty. Five years later, we will still be in this small Dongping City. We are here to build the Yan Kingdom, not to build a city. How can a city be built?" Representing the entire Yan Kingdom? Father, there are many cities and many people.
Country, there is no city in the world that belongs to the same country. "
Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Di, worried that he would be persuaded.
Zhu Di thought for a moment, shook his head, and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "First learn to walk, and then learn to run. The current state of Yan is too weak as a baby, and it is not yet time to make big strides forward. It will take five years to lay a solid foundation, and five years later we will start again." It’s not too late to expand externally.”
"Father!"
Zhu Gaoxu was heartbroken.
The strategy I proposed is not bad, not to mention that there are more than 50,000 people here. If we lay the foundation in two years, wouldn't it be better to allocate 10,000 people to build a new city?
What a bias!
The eldest brother is a person with bad legs and feet, but he knows what running is! Too honest and too conservative, if the Yan Kingdom is handed over to him, it is estimated that there may not be five cities in twenty years.
Shrinking for the rest of my life is not the outcome I, Zhu Gaoxu, want!
Looking at the unwilling Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di knew that he still needed to rely on his son at this time. He was full of energy and was the kind of person who could work during the day and at night. Now it was the time when Yan State was "expanding territory" and "casting" At this critical moment, he should not be discouraged or discouraged.
Zhu Di raised his hand, patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "The prince is often sick, you should encourage him."
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up.
What does father mean by this?
Oh, I see.
My father is telling himself that his eldest brother is not in good health, so he should behave well so that he can inherit the Yan Kingdom in the future! .Ь.
OK, OK!
I will definitely perform well!
Thinking about it, there is no way that my eldest brother, that fat and lame man, can become the future King of Yan. When my father gets old, the only person who can take over the position of King of Yan is handsome, capable, hard-working, and has established a distinguished career in pioneering wasteland. A successful self!
As my father said, I must risk my life and give it a try.
"But Father, the five-year plan..."
Zhu Gaoxu asked.
Zhu Di said something ambiguous again: "Everything is possible."
Zhu Gaoxu understood clearly again. This means that although the eldest brother's five-year plan is now confirmed and passed, it is still temporary. Everything is possible. It is natural for the plan to change if something unexpected happens later.
Zhu Gaoxu said solemnly: "Father, please rest assured, I will go all out and work hard for the country of Yan. I will never regret it even if I die!"
Zhu Di nodded with a smile.
My son is a good son. This momentum and determination are very good.
So what, remember to catch some fish tomorrow, your mother wants to change her taste recently...
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who were leaving, and said to Qiu Fu, "You stay here to assist him. Do you understand what I mean?"
Qiu Fu showed his yellowed teeth: "I have followed the prince for so long, how could I not understand that I am humble enough to accept an order?"
