Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Qizhen opened the door to the King's Palace and took a look at the situation in the Imperial City.
He was very satisfied with the current deployment of the Great Ming Empire's capital, the Imperial City. Everything was developing as he wished.
The lumberyard produced large quantities of wood to make the Qimen Dunjia crafts that he had given to Yu Qian.
The Iron Smelting Platform produced a large amount of steel and sent it to the secret underground factory that Yu Qian had built. It was currently forging weapons that could shock the world.
There was also a bank that had just been established in the Imperial City. It was the embryonic form of a bank and was still in the development stage.
The moat and city defenses had been reinforced to the highest state, making the capital the most indestructible city in Great Ming.
In terms of military affairs, he stepped up the training of the Ming army. At the end of spring, he sent the promoted Minister of War, Wang Shouren, to start recruiting soldiers.
The purpose of conscription was to be prepared. After all, no one knew if there would be another war in the coming year.
There was only one matter in the King's Palace that Zhu Qizhen had yet to do.
That was the market!
The market was the market where the commoners bought and sold things.
However, the things inside were very messy. For the time being, there was no clear regulation in the court to regulate the market.
Therefore, in those markets, there would be some unscrupulous merchants who would raise the prices of goods, causing many people's daily expenses to increase.
Their monthly income was already very low, and the chaotic market in the market made them deposit their money in the bank, which could not drive economic development at all.
Because the people were not willing to spend, where would the economy develop?
On the contrary, those merchants were all earning a lot.
The rich became richer and the poor became poorer.
The gap between the rich and the poor in the country was getting bigger and bigger, and the extent of exploitation of the people could not be changed.
There was a huge problem in the market!
Zhu Qizhen quickly discovered the problem. He had to formulate a standard market regulation to regulate the market price.
Only by letting these merchants follow such rules could they truly stimulate economic development and let most people earn money instead of letting wealth be concentrated in the hands of only a small number of people.
He was now the monarch of a country. What he had to do was to make the people rich and make the country more prosperous and powerful.
This was his ultimate mission!
Moreover, the citizens 'positive response to the bank had earned him a lot of prestige.
His Prestige Value broke through 200,000 for the first time!
The exchange list was updated again.
Celebrity Yuan Tiangang x 200,000 prestige points
[Son of Heaven's Divine Technique: Level 2 x 150,000 prestige points]
Top-tier warship design blueprint x100,000 prestige points
Luxury Merchant Ship Design Blueprint x80,000 prestige points
When Zhu Qizhen saw the "celebrity", he was stunned.
It turned out that in this system, not only could prestige points be used to exchange for famous officials and generals, but it could also be used to exchange for those famous people.
For example, Jia Xu and Guo Jia at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng during the Tang Dynasty.
These were all very famous strategists during that period.
It was just that Zhu Qizhen was thinking, what could these strategists bring to Great Ming?
Zhu Qizhen shook his head. In his eyes, Yuan Tiangang, this celebrity, was simply useless.
Spending 200,000 Prestige Points on a celebrity was really not worth it!
As for the Son of Heaven's Divine Art, the current Zhu Qizhen already had a very high prestige in the court, and those ministers were very subservient to him.
He did not need martial arts for the time being.
What he needed now were warships and merchant ships. What he needed was to use these things to go to other countries to show off the might of Great Ming!
Once the national prestige was established, the Ming Dynasty would definitely stand at the top of the world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen exchanged for the ship design blueprint without hesitation.
After half a year of economic development, the current Great Ming became more and more powerful.
The current age of orthodoxy was already comparable to the rule of the previous two dynasties.
After obtaining the two ship blueprints, Zhu Qizhen was thinking of a suitable candidate to handle this matter.
Building shipyards and ships.
This was a big project, and it could also stimulate industrial development.
Great Ming's shipbuilding industry was very developed. If they could build a shipyard and develop it vigorously, in the future, wherever Great Ming's ships went, they would submit.
Zhu Qizhen put down the memorial and said to the eunuch at the door, Zhao De,""Zhao De. He had not paid his respects to his mother for many days.”
"This servant will make the arrangements."
" Rise, Cining Palace!!!"
The mother and son had parted on bad terms during the New Year's reunion dinner last time, and the reunion dinner was extremely awkward.
Because of the delay in administrative matters, Zhu Qizhen had yet to apologize to his mother, Sun Ruowei.
Taking advantage of the time, Zhu Qizhen came to Ci Ning Palace.
When he arrived at Cining Palace, he first dismissed the servants and then entered the main hall alone, ready to apologize to Sun Ruowei.
However, when he entered the hall, he saw his mother chatting with a man in official robes.
When Zhu Qizhen saw this, he was furious. He coldly said to the man,"How dare you! Who are you? As an official of the court, who allowed you to appear in the harem?”
At this moment, the man turned around and saw Zhu Qizhen. He quickly knelt down and bowed."This subject Xu Bin pays his respects to the emperor.”
Sun Ruowei said lightly to Zhu Qizhen,"Emperor please calm down, this widow summoned Lord Xu. Lord Xu has just returned from a long journey and is telling aijia about interesting things.”
Zhu Qizhen saw the happy smile on Sun Ruowei's face and inexplicably felt a deep hostility towards Xu Bin.
That was his mother!
She would never allow other men to covet her!
