The sun was shining in the morning, and Li Jie came to the main hall again. However, before he could sit down, he didn't expect Zhu Biao to send someone to call him to discuss matters. This made Li Jie stunned. The first thing he thought of was that Huang Zicheng wouldn't really go to Zhu Biao to complain, right?

With doubts in his heart, Li Jie also quickly came to Wenhua Hall. Chunhe Palace was the prince's residence, the main hall was the place where he studied, and the Wenhua Hall was where Zhu Biao usually handled government affairs and received ministers.

After Li Jie entered the hall, he immediately saw Zhu Biao who was dealing with government affairs. Although he was just the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang began to let him get in touch with government affairs early on. Now Zhu Biao has also helped Zhu Yuanzhang share a considerable part of government affairs.

"See the Prince!" Li Jie stepped forward and bowed.

"No need to be polite. I'm summoning you to come today. There was something wrong with the workshop where the Qianliyan made, so I want to ask you for your opinion." Zhu Biao immediately put down the memorial in his hand and said to Li Jie with a smile.

After Li Jie gave him a thousand miles to see him last time, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered the establishment of a special workshop to be prepared to equip all the generals in the army. After all, this thing is too useful in military affairs.

"Is there anything wrong with Qianliyan?" Li Jie hurriedly asked after hearing this. It turned out that it was not Huang Zicheng who complained, but if he really had the courage to complain, Li Jie would look up to him a few times.

"There is no problem with Qianliyan, but it lacks raw materials, that is, glass. Although the imperial court ordered from some Hu merchants, the quantity was too small to meet the demand at all." Zhu Biao also frowned when talking about glass.

The Ming Dynasty did not produce glass, so if you need it, you could only order it from Hu merchants. However, the origin of glass was too far away. In the past, glass products were used to be luxury goods, and the demand was not large. Now, if you want to order in large quantities, Hu merchants can't supply it at all.

"It turns out to be so!" Li Jie laughed in his heart. Liu Yi said before that he could not find the glass when he made a mirror. At that time, Li Jie had already guessed that the court would definitely face the same problem when he was making a clairvoyance, so he also thought of a countermeasure.

"Your Highness, the firing of glass is not complicated, and glass is widely used. It is not a long-term solution to buy it from the outside world. Therefore, I think that a special glass workshop should be built to let me produce glass by myself in the Ming Dynasty so that I will not be controlled by others!" Li Jie suggested.

"I have thought about self-produced glass, but our Ming Dynasty has never made glass, and I don't know how to make it?" Zhu Biao frowned again and said.

"Your Highness, the origin of glass is in the extreme west, and many Seme people's hometowns are there. I believe that as long as the court issues a list, there will definitely be Seme people who understand this aspect who are willing to apply!" Li Jie smiled again and suggested.

At the beginning, the Mongol Yuan valued the Semen people, so many Semen people settled in the Central Plains. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols, and a small number of Semen people fled to the grasslands with the Mongols, but most of them became prisoners of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang had no good feelings for these Semen people, so many Semen people were demoted to lowly.

It is also worth mentioning that the Seme people are just a general term. Some of them come from Central Asia, some from West Asia, and some even from Europe. For example, the Mahama who went to heaven with Li Jie, and their family comes from the Eastern Roman Empire.

When Mahama's father brought their brothers to the Mongolian Yuan, he was captured by General Feng Sheng when he arrived in Gansu. However, Feng Sheng had a keen eye for him. After talking to Mahama's father, he thought that the other party was a talent, so he presented their family to Zhu Yuanzhang, which also made Mahama's father serve as the supervisor of the Huihui Sitianjian.

"It makes sense, I forgot these sage people!" Zhu Biao said with a brow when he heard this. In fact, it was not his fault. Since Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he has demanded to restore the orthodox Chinese everywhere. Except for a few sage officials like Mahama, there are no more sage officials in the court, so Zhu Biao did not expect to use sage people at all.

"The enemy has strengths, I have weaknesses, and I live in the Ming Dynasty. I should have the heart to embrace all rivers and make up for my weaknesses and do good!" Li Jie flattered the train and said, "Anyway, there is a ball under his feet, even if Antarctica is the center of the world."

"This statement makes sense, I will ask someone to do it immediately!" Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He didn't need to report to Zhu Yuanzhang for this small matter, and he could make the decision as the prince.

After talking about the main business, Zhu Biao asked about Li Jie's situation in Zuo Chunfang these days, especially about his two sons' studies. Li Jie also answered one by one. Of course, when answering, he also specially praised Zhu Yunsheng for a few words, and Zhu Biao did not express any special expressions about this.

"By the way, does Your Highness know that the Queen of Xiping is coming back?" Li Jie suddenly thought of what Mu Sheng came to find him yesterday, so he asked Zhu Biao.

"Of course I know this. Two days ago, I received a letter from Brother Mu, saying that I would go to the capital tomorrow and I was going to pick him up in person." Zhu Biao also showed an excited expression when he mentioned Mu Ying.

Mu Ying was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, eleven years older than Zhu Biao. When Zhu Biao was young, he often followed Mu Ying's butt. Although the two were not brothers, they were in love.

In the original history, Mu Ying was also deeply hit by Zhu Biao's sudden death, and became seriously ill. He died just two months later than Zhu Biao. This shows how deep the relationship between the two is.

"That's great. Yesterday Mu Sheng found me and said that he would invite the Marquis of Xiping to inspect the musketeers he trained tomorrow and be prepared to surprise the Marquis of Xiping. I wonder if your highness is interested?" Li Jie also invited with a smile.

"Haha, it turns out that this is the matter. You said it's too late. That kid Mu Sheng has invited me. I will go with Brother Mu tomorrow!" Zhu Biao laughed when he heard Li Jie's words. Mu Sheng had invited him a few days ago for this matter.

Li Jie was not surprised to hear Zhu Biao's answer. After all, Mu Sheng and Zhu Biao are much closer than him. However, he had other intentions when he said this, so he smiled again and said, "Since your highness is going, can you bring the two emperors and grandsons there too?"

"Huh? Take them there?" Zhu Biao was also stunned when he heard this. In his heart, his two sons were still young and took them to the army to see the soldiers fighting and killing. Even if they were training, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?

"Your Highness, some things cannot be learned from books. When Your Majesty taught Your Highness and the princes, he ordered Your Highness to take the princes out of the city and march out of the city, and even let Your Highness and others live in Zhongdu for several years. Your Highness must have a deep understanding of these travels and life experiences!" Seeing Zhu Biao hesitating, Li Jie immediately moved Zhu Yuanzhang out and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely concerned about his son's education. In addition to studying, he also had strict military education. For example, when Zhu Biao was young, he had to take a few brothers out of the city to march, of which 70% rode horses and 30% walked. In addition, in order to let them experience the sufferings of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang also allowed them to live in Fengyang, his hometown for three or four years.

It was also under the education of Lao Zhu that many talents really appeared among his many sons. Not to mention Zhu Biao, Zhu Bi, Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and others all made great achievements, especially Zhu Di, who used a corner of Beijing to fight against Zhu Yunwen who controlled the whole country, and he even won. Looking at the entire Chinese history, he was the only one who could succeed in the rebellion of the vassal kings.

When Zhu Biao heard Li Jie's words, he also remembered the scene when he was studying and practicing martial arts with his brothers. He had been fat since he was a child and could not keep up when he went out of the city to march. Many times, his younger brothers would carry him on his back, especially the fourth brother Zhu Di, who was as strong as a cow, and ran faster than other brothers on his back.

Thinking of the scene at that time, a warm smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Biao's mouth, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll bring Yun Wen and Yun Yu tomorrow. They are not young. It's time to see my Ming Dynasty's martial ethics!"
