Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang went to look for Empress Ma, and the prince, who was alone, naturally needed to find someone as well.

But late at night, who can I turn to to relieve my inner depression?

The main reason is that the matter in his heart is complicated and empty. It is not just a necessary connection between the relocation of the capital and the field investigation.

If I really have to describe it, it would be two words: feeling.

Although Crown Prince Zhu Biao's official time as regent was not very long, he had actually been doing so for many years, so logically speaking, there should be nothing special about it.

After all, from top to bottom, everyone is accustomed to the prince's ruling position.

But during this period of official regency, something strange happened.

He felt as if there was a haze hiding behind the clear sky.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang had decreed that the emperor had no right to interfere in all world affairs, although this made the two men tired, it also made Crown Prince Zhu Biao feel more deeply and intuitively that the world seemed to be changing.

The sky is quietly brewing spring thunder. People cannot see it, but they can feel the low air pressure.

But what hidden dangers could there be in the Sun-Moon Dynasty now?

All the ambitious younger brothers went out, rebellions in various places were quelled, vassal states lined up to submit naturalization forms, there were fewer natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there was true peace throughout the country.

I have also figured out how to deal with the Zhao Mansion. Just let it wear off naturally.

What else could there be?

My father was on tour and didn't notice anything unusual...

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was very confused. Many candidates flashed through his mind, but when he compared the time and circumstances, he rejected them one by one.

If you want to explore the necessity of something in your heart, the simplest and most brutal way is to deny it.

You certainly cannot deny yourself, so you can only seek help from others.

It is better to not only deny it simply, but also give opinions.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was well aware of this.

Just dare to deny, and give an opinion...

In the court and in the capital, which officials meet the requirements?

In Crown Prince Zhu Biao's mind, the answer he had always wanted to avoid gradually became the only option.

"The Zhao family would not take such an illusory approach, so the problem was definitely not caused by them..."

......

Late at night, within Yingtian Prefecture, all normal government offices, except those related to the curfew, had already stopped working.

Except for the Ministry of Works camp located in the outer city.

Because inspiration is something that appears all the time, but it seems that there is an extra cost of overdraft at night compared to during the day, and the probability of its appearance will also be greater.

In addition to the city-wide curfew, the Ministry of Works camp was an exception, which gave it an additional psychological boost as a rebellious exception.

So this night was exactly the time when the Ministry of Works camp was working in full swing.

The glittering light of the molten iron and the roaring roar of the braziers illuminated the entire Ministry of Works camp.

When Crown Prince Zhu Biao was about to arrive at the main camp, he asked Wang Ji to go ahead and instruct him not to make any noise along the way as per custom.

What surprised him was that, besides the guards, there was no one else along the way. "Could it be that the Ministry of Industry has come up with some new artifact?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao's attention was instantly attracted by the news sent back by Wang Ji.

Soon, he and his group arrived at the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works with ease.

At night, the Ministry of Works belongs to the Construction Department, and the Construction Department belongs to Zhao Zheng's assistant minister. All the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Works are attracted to the Construction Department by the reputation accumulated by Zhao Zheng.

Therefore, the scope of the Construction Department has been expanded many times.

Given the heated atmosphere at the scene, the arrival of Crown Prince Zhu Biao and his group did not cause any ripples.

"Prince's Palace..."

"What are Minister Wang and Minister Zhao doing?"

The person standing further back was about to speak when he was stopped by Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who then asked him the reason.

Because at this moment in the construction company, everyone was staring intently at a small "iron ingot".

Why could a small piece of iron ingot attract the attention of all the skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry?

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was a little puzzled, especially when he saw the Minister of Works Wang Zheng, whose face was flushed red even by the fire beside him.

"Your Highness, this is a standard ingot that was smelted by Lord Wang and Lord Zhao, who gathered all the iron smelting experts in the Ministry of Industry! It is currently being tested for its ability to maintain the standard."

The person being asked answered quickly, and even the prince in person could not stop his pupils from drifting.

"Standard ingot?"

"Standard maintenance capability?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked around and found that there was not a single mediocre person among the Eastern Palace's entourage.

But in the face of his doubts, no one could answer them at this moment.

New stuff!

There was a light in Crown Prince Zhu Biao's eyes. The official in front of him felt a little distressed, but he did not dare to change his expression. After he reacted, he quickly continued to explain.

"When Lord Zhao was inspecting the manufacturing capabilities of the various departments of the Ministry of Industry, he raised a question: why do all the craftsmen in the world gather in Yingtian, but the products produced in Yingtian are classified according to the world."

"It was later discovered that the lengths, quantities, and weights of different places were different in different times of turmoil."

"Your Majesty, in the first year of your reign, calibrated the scales in the streets and markets to measure the scales of heaven. The scales of local government offices were based on the new and old, and even the scales of different counties were different."

"Even as small as the grain director and the Ministry of Revenue, there were always frictions. Even as big as the reprimand, the wrong distance and the waste of horses."

"what!"

After hearing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The officials in the Eastern Palace behind him were already sweating profusely.

The problems caused by weights and measures may be as minor as spending the same amount of money but getting half a bowl of rice less.

But the bigger issues are the dynasty’s taxation and even military intelligence issues.

So how could Crown Prince Zhu Biao and his subordinates not be afraid?

"My dear Lord Zhao! My dear Lord Zhao!"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao spoke up quickly. At this time, he could no longer remain in peace.

"His Royal Highness?"

Zhao Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression was confused, and he even forgot to salute!

What's wrong with this prince?

"Such a major event, why didn't Lord Zhao explain it to me earlier, but instead worked so hard on it silently! How can I feel at ease with this?"

At this moment, the filter of Zhao Zheng in Crown Prince Zhu Biao's heart began to reflect light again.

The crowd made way for him, and he quickly walked up to the duo of Zhao Zheng and Wang Zheng, then pulled out the hands of the old and the not-so-old one to express his guilt.

"......What?"

Zhao Zheng and Wang Zheng were also genuinely confused.

Originally, they were a little nervous, after all, only the two of them knew best what they were doing.

Who would have thought that as soon as Crown Prince Zhu Biao met them, he would praise them.

Should I just go with the flow or refuse to accept it?

Zhao Zheng expressed that he was in a difficult situation.

And Wang Zheng has already started to provide cover skillfully.

"Your Highness, I didn't do anything. It was all Minister Zhao's discovery and idea!"

"I am already familiar with the specific procedures for the test. Your Highness, why don't you go to the other courtyard with Minister Zhao to prevent the craftsmen from being unable to work freely?"

The Minister of Works Wang Zheng withdrew himself in such a reasonable and upright manner.

Zhao Zheng was reasonably withdrawn by Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
