I heard Zhang Mingwei say seriously: "It is better to pay taxes south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, after the prince arrived in Nanjing, he needed to supervise the collection of taxes and arrears, inspect agriculture, and ensure that he could provide as much money and grain as possible for the Ming Dynasty, especially the north."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen reminded: "Sir, on January 18 this year, I have issued an order to exempt the taxes owed across the country before the twelve years of Chongzhen."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this. But when he came to his senses, he said indifferently: "It's okay, isn't it still the next two years?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, and looked at his son again. He was only thirteen years old. He reminded him again with some concern: "Sir, he is too young. Is it a joke to leave such an important thing to him?"

Zhu Cilang was preparing to face the challenge with passion, which is the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. For him at this time, the more important the task, the happier and more excited he was. But he didn't expect that his father was worried about his ability and he was a little unhappy. However, he did not dare to refute his father in person, but his little face suddenly turned red.

"Haha, your Majesty, don't worry, listen to me continue!" After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei knew what Emperor Chongzhen thought, and replied with a smile.

His words immediately surprised Zhu Cilang again and stared at him with expectation.

To him, he is the crown prince and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. If the Ming Dynasty falls, he will still be a nonsense emperor! If a miracle is brought to life today, a savior will come hundreds of years later. The father will do everything to treat the wise and the wise, and even his sister sacrificed his personal happiness and future for the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, he wants to do something useful.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhang Mingwei was so confident, so he stopped talking and just nodded and listened.

I heard Zhang Mingwei continue to say: "The prince will be able to summon Zhang Huangyan to accompany him. If I remember correctly, he is from Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. He passed the imperial examination this year and was a loyal minister with both civil and military skills. In history, after Jianlu went south, he protected King Lu as the governor of the country, understood the overall situation, and was determined to resist Jianlu, and eventually died for the country."

Before the prince could speak, he continued, "In addition, I remember that General Sun Yingyuan of the Yongwei Camp died in March of the 15th year of Chongzhen because he was helpless. When the prince went south, it was best to summon him to the prince to protect him as soon as possible. In this way, all civil and military officials are the right-hand men that the prince can rely on."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became anxious. It was already the first day of March, and the prince went south and could not set off tomorrow. If he went too late and had a loyal general missing, it would be a great loss.

In addition, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong were as famous as the general of the Yongwei Camp, and Emperor Chongzhen knew him. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, he immediately shouted outside: "Come here!"

When an eunuch heard the movement, he immediately flashed in. Needless to say, it must be Wang Chengen's person.

"Transfer my decree, and 600 miles to speed up. Summon Sun Yingyuan, the general of Yongwei Battalion, to Yingtian Prefecture, to wait for the decree!" Emperor Chongzhen could not wait for a moment. Even if it was not until dawn that the palace gate could be unlocked before leaving the palace, he issued the decree first.

Of course, the eunuch agreed and then left the hall gate.

Zhang Mingwei waited until this time and said to Zhu Cilang: "In terms of money, in addition to urging taxes, the prince also needs to do a more important thing to make money..."

When he heard this, even Emperor Chongzhen, who was listening to the side, couldn't help but stretched his neck a little, as if this would make him ensure that he would not miss a word.

"Sir, please tell me!" Zhu Cixuan quickly responded respectfully.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingwei did not continue to say anything to him, but turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty had asked me before, can trains be built such powerful artillery and firearms in the documentary, as well as planes in the sky?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately remembered the "divine artifacts" he saw, and suddenly he was about to drool. If such a powerful thing could be invented, let alone thieves, even Jianlu or something, it would be ten times more or a hundred times more, and they could be suppressed.

That power, tsk, Emperor Chongzhen was very excited when he thought of it, and he nodded quickly and said, "But did you say that you can't create it at your current level?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei smiled and said, "It's still impossible to create it. But one of the prerequisites for these things to be created is that there is the most basic thing, which is glass, that is, transparent glass. With this, we can click on the branch of the scientific and technological knowledge of chemistry."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "As far as I know, glass products at this time should still be very expensive and are very popular with rich people. Therefore, the prince went south and fired this glass, which can make money, and also lay the foundation for the spread of scientific and technological knowledge."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was of course happy. There were some transparent glasses in the palace, and they were tributed by foreign countries. Although he didn't understand the specific price, it was okay to know that this thing was valuable.

At this time, after hearing what Zhang Mingwei said, it seemed that he knew how to do this. To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen immediately showed a very expectant look.

Sure enough, Zhang Mingwei continued, "I probably know how to fire transparent glass! The prince can go to Jingdezhen and use skilled craftsmen who fire porcelain there to experiment and burn transparent glass. This transparent glass can not only provide the necessary basic utensils for my subsequent chemistry course in the Ming Dynasty, but also one of the important sources of money for the future of the Ming Dynasty. The prince must be careful."

I repeatedly emphasize that Zhu Cilang must pay attention to it.

For Zhang Mingwei, as a time travel author of the "professional resident in the late Ming Dynasty", how could he not understand the method of glass making? It can even be said that the method of glass making is a mess in later time travel novels. If you don't know about the method of making, there will be ghosts.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that it is more obvious that the more a mess it is, the more helpful it will be to the late Ming Dynasty.

Glass was already available at this time, but it came from the countries of Taixi and was still a very expensive thing.

Sure enough, when he heard that Zhang Mingwei knew how to do it, Zhu Cilang had not reacted yet, Emperor Chongzhen had already held Zhang Mingwei's hand in surprise and said excitedly: "Sir, great talent, great talent!"

Of course he knew that if he mastered the glass method, it would be like mastering a mountain of gold and silver. For him who was very short of money, this was an unimaginable surprise. It would be worth it to give him a daughter!

Just such a merit, Zhang Mingwei became very important in Emperor Chongzhen’s heart!

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also understood. Zhang Mingwei had proposed to keep taxes north of the Yangtze River locally, and another very important reason was that this glass method could be relied on to solve the situation of reduced taxes in the north.

Zhang Mingwei pulled out his hand without a trace, and then smiled and said, "Actually, these are the basic knowledge in science and technology. Westerners can produce glass long ago because they first study science and technology knowledge!"

The meaning in the words is once again emphasized through comparison, and the importance of scientific and technological knowledge is emphasized.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen heard it. Needless to say, his emphasis on scientific and technological knowledge has increased a little.

However, before he could express his opinion, Zhang Mingwei turned to Zhu Cilang and started another topic and continued to explain: "After the prince arrives in Nanjing, he can summon Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng...Fusong to accompany him to serve and become his confidant."

"But that Zheng Chenggong?" Zhu Cixuan asked immediately after hearing this.

Zheng Chenggong's deeds are very prominent in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so there must be something in the documentary.

"It's him!" Zhang Mingwei heard this and nodded, "Zheng Zhilong is very cunning, and his dusk energy has already appeared. As far as the Ming Dynasty is now in trouble with internal and external affairs, he will never give him a helping hand. But his son is different. He is serving the country with passion, so the prince must take his heart for the Ming Dynasty. But for now, he can buy food from Nanyang through him. I believe that Zheng Zhilong can still do this for his son's future."

Zheng Zhilong finally betrayed the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to Jianlu, of course, was on the blacklist of Emperor Chongzhen. However, when he heard what Zhang Mingwei said, he felt it made sense, so he immediately instructed his son: "Remember what sir!"

"Father, my son and I remember it!" Zhu Cixuan was a little impatient with Emperor Chongzhen's repeated reminders, and always felt that he was treated as a three-year-old child, so he immediately responded loudly.

What he was thinking, Zhang Mingwei, who was watching, saw it, and did not point it out, and continued: "There is another very important thing, which is to promote sweet potato cultivation in the south. This high-yield crop should have been popularized in Fujian at this time."
