After Cao Zhengchun left Yangxin Palace Hall, Zhu Houzhen continued to read the memorials.
He was very gratified by the changes in the empire day by day.
The Ministry of Works 'iron-smelting technology was gradually improving. They were producing steel in large quantities to build more cannons!
The capital's commerce was also opening up, and as the economy improved, banks began to bloom everywhere, forming the embryonic form of a bank.
In terms of military affairs, the Minister of War was in charge of the entire country, and all the guards were training on the battlefield.
Following the effects of the reform, the system points broke through once again, reaching 30,000!
There were many more items that could be exchanged, but many of them were still very expensive.
Warship design blueprint, 10,000 points
Silicate concrete technology, 10,000 points
Cannon Technique 50,000 points
Tank Blueprint 200,000 Points
Airplane Design Blueprint, 1 million points
Space Shuttle Blueprint, 5 million points
……
Hehe, Zhu Houjin didn't continue to watch. I only have 30,000 now.
Then, Zhu Houzhen spent 10,000 points to exchange for the new warship and the technology of the silicon concrete.
The warship design blueprints were to be used by Qi Jiguang to build the Ming Navy.
Great Ming's national prestige and influence would rise sharply, and the West would have a taste of iron and fire!
Silicate concrete technology could be used to build high-rise buildings, which belonged to the early stage of concrete.
It had mature application conditions, and its formula was 300 years ahead of the West. It had extremely rich materials.
Whether it was building roads or houses, concrete was very suitable, let alone building city walls.
The walls were made of concrete. Cold weapons were useless. Even the cannons couldn't penetrate the walls.
This thing looked ordinary, but it was omnipotent in the construction industry. In this era, it could be said to be a strategic resource.
With it, the changes in the Ming Empire would be even faster. Whether it was national defense or economy, concrete was indispensable!
——
In the blink of an eye, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The people of the capital began to get busy with the lantern festival.
Every year, other than the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival would be lively.
Under the bright moonlight, all kinds of lanterns were hung up, competing with the moonlight!
Not just the capital, but the entire empire was brimming with the joy of reunion.
Zhu Houjian paid a visit to Imperial Consort Li in Cining Palace and bought her expensive jewelry. Imperial Consort Li cried tears of joy.
The emperor treated him like this, but he was actually nothing.
"Your Majesty, the beautiful girl chosen last time has already entered the palace for some time, but you have never flipped your cards. What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you not satisfied?"
When Imperial Consort Li said this, Zhu Houxin finally remembered that there was still the matter of the draft.
Time passed so quickly. Almost two months had passed.
During this period of time, Zhu Houyi was busy with various reforms, such as the reorganization of the military, the measurement of the world's fertile land, and the reform of the administration of officials.
He had never placed the matter of the draft on his agenda.
Zhu Houzhen remembered that there was a girl when he came to the Cining Palace that day. What was her name?
He racked his brains, but he still couldn't remember.
He only vaguely remembered that the girl had some relationship with Imperial Consort Li. Her smile was innocent and cute, and her facial features were dignified…He really couldn't remember much.
"Reporting to Imperial Consort, zhen has been busy with documents recently and doesn't have much time to turn the tables.”
"Your Majesty, it's better to meet the next day. Let's do it today. Your Majesty, this widow isn't very cultured, but this widow knows that everyone in the world is looking forward to Your Majesty turning the tables as soon as possible and giving birth to an heir. The people will surely clap their hands in joy…"
On the observation platform.
Imperial Consort Li ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare more than eighty delicious dishes. At the same time, more than twenty young girls quietly arrived, including some princesses from vassal countries.
"Emperor, you're too diligent. You're still young, so you can hand over some administrative matters to the cabinet.”
Zhu Houzhen sat on the main seat, surrounded by young girls. These girls were all selected to enter the palace, and most of them were folk women, not from wealthy families.
Most of the concubines in the Ming Empire's harem were like this, for the sake of the royal family and the chaos of politics.
Starting from Empress Ma, all the way to Emperor Chongzhen's empress, they were all commoners.
As such, Zhu Houxin had ignored her niece last time, so she didn't dare to make any arrangements this time.
In fact, Zhu Houzhi was busy with government affairs, so it wasn't that he didn't like it.
From the observation platform, one could see all the buildings of the Imperial Palace. The capital was brightly lit, and the palace was a forest of palace lanterns, as bright as day.
What a scene of peace and prosperity!
Inadvertently, he saw a handsome and tall figure resting her chin on the windowsill of a side hall next to Cining Palace, watching the moon.
It was already late autumn in the capital, and the nights were rather chilly.
The woman was wearing different clothes from the palace maids. She looked more like a woman who lived in a boudoir.
She was wearing a white cloak. Under the light from the two lanterns on the windowsill, she looked extraordinary, like a fairy...
Looking at this beautiful figure, Zhu Houyi actually had a feeling of deja vu.
She was looking at the moon on the windowsill when she unintentionally raised her head to look at the observation deck.
At this moment, fireworks were blooming everywhere. The people in the palace were blooming together.
All of a sudden, thousands of fireworks exploded.
"It's her. Let her come to the observation platform and accompany me to drink and enjoy the fireworks.”Zhu Houjin said casually.
"Yes!" The palace maid went down the observation platform to invite Li Moruo…
Imperial Consort Li was overjoyed. She didn't want to ruin the emperor's good mood, so she said,
"Emperor, this widow can't stand the wind here and will return to Ci Ning Palace first.”
