Chapter 601 Face to face talk

Resetting the herdsmen who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty was very complicated. Li Jie was no longer interested after hearing a few words. Anyway, the general trend of the Ming Dynasty annexing the grasslands has been formed, and as long as there are no major mistakes in the future, there should be no problems.

Zhu Yunxiu had seen Li Jie a long time ago, so he quickly ended his discussion with the ministers, and then asked these cabinet ministers to retreat. Then he asked Li Jie with a smile and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you had enough rest at home?"

"You can't stay at home all the time. The railways and trains have a good response. If you have accumulating experience after operating for a while, you can consider building the next railway in the future." Li Jie also replied with a smile.

"That's right. A few days ago, Xie Jin and others discussed it and felt that the second railway would no longer be limited to the north. Instead, we could consider Nanjing to Songjiang, which was the most prosperous commercial route in the Ming Dynasty. It was a bit slow to rely on the Yangtze River waterway before, so it would be better to add a railway." Zhu Yunsheng said very excitedly when talking about the railway.

"This is OK, but the south is densely filled with rivers. If you want to build a railway in the south, you must study a solid railway bridge. It will be a big problem at that time." Li Jie couldn't help but sigh at the end.

Before Li Jie traveled through time, China was known as an infrastructure maniac, especially in terms of bridges. Almost all of the top ten bridges were in China. In fact, such crazy infrastructure was only to make up for the previous shortcomings. The situation Li Jie is facing now is even more difficult than China in later generations. After all, everything has to start from scratch.

"This is not urgent. Xie Jin and the others have also considered that after the construction of this railway is completed, the court is temporarily unable to spend huge amounts of money to build the railway, so Xie Jin and Guo Zhenglin can slowly study the construction of the bridge. It is not too late to solve this problem and start building the second railway." Zhu Yunqiu also smiled again.

Li Jie nodded when he heard this, and then it was time to talk about the serious business, so he quickly spoke: "Your Majesty, I wrote to me some time ago."

As soon as Li Jie said something, Zhu Yunxi immediately showed a silent expression. After a moment, he sighed and said, "Uncle Fourth, he must want your brother-in-law to help me and convince me to help him build a naval school."

"Yes, actually, I heard General Lan mention this on the way back from Nanjing. I felt it was very troublesome at the time, but on the day the railway was built, I received a letter from my fourth uncle." Li Jie did not lie at any link in this matter. After all, he and Zhu Yunyu still had sufficient trust.

"It's not just a trouble, it's just a headache for me. Brother-in-law, you can definitely understand my difficulties. In terms of emotions, I should help my fourth uncle, but from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, I can't help this matter. I was embarrassed to refuse directly, so I could only decide to delay it. Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle still wrote you a letter." Zhu Yunxiu said helplessly in the end.

"Your Majesty said it's right. Actually, I have been thinking about it after receiving the letter. If I were Your Majesty, I would probably use the method of delay, but Xue Qing's words later reminded me." Li Jie said the truth again.

"What did she say in cousin?" Zhu Yunxi asked curiously when he heard this. He still admired Zhu Xueqing, his cousin. The bank's affairs were also very prosperous in her affairs. The reason why the railway was successfully built was that it had a huge relationship with the fundraising of the bank.

"Xueqing asked me a question at that time, that is, if the court rejected the fourth uncle, wouldn't the fourth uncle go to build this school?" Li Jie almost said Zhu Xueqing's original words.

As soon as Li Jie said that, Zhu Yunxi was stunned. He had never considered this aspect, or he had actually been avoiding this issue. After all, from a relationship point of view, he was actually unwilling to have too many conflicts with Zhu Di.

Zhu Yunxiu was stunned for a while and didn't say anything. Finally, Li Jie simply added: "In fact, even without the help of the court, the fourth uncle seems to have no experience and lacks talents. But since they know that the example of martial arts is, they can start a similar school sooner or later. Even if they have a worse level in all aspects at the beginning, they can barely use it. With the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, this school may not be much worse than martial arts in the future."

When Li Jie said the last, Zhu Yunxiu couldn't help but stand up, then walked back several times in the book case, and finally stopped suddenly and said, "This is indeed a problem. If the court does not help, the fourth uncle will have a gap. In the end, he can still build a school. Although it is more difficult and takes longer, the final effect is the same."

"That's true. Your Majesty will offend the Fourth Uncle by then and cannot intervene in the Naval School. It can be said that both ends are not good." Li Zhi nodded and added again.

Zhu Yunxi frowned even more when he heard this, but finally sighed: "But even so, you can't agree to the fourth uncle because of this. After all, if we help him build a naval school, although we can interfere in the school affairs, it will also greatly increase the strength of the fourth uncle, thus threatening the safety of the capital."

"Yes, the biggest problem now is that the fourth uncle's strength has increased and the conflict with the security of the court. If this matter cannot be resolved, the conflict between the two sides will probably only become deeper and deeper." Li Jie saw that Zhu Yunxi made the words clear, so he also said directly.

"That's it, and the initiative in this matter is still with the Fourth Uncle, so I can only deal with it passively." Zhu Yunxiu also showed a helpless look again when he said this.

"So now if you want to solve this problem, you can only have a good talk with Uncle Fourth!" Li Jie suddenly spoke with a serious expression.

"Talk? How to talk?" Zhu Yunxiu showed a very embarrassed expression. This fact was so troublesome that he didn't know how to speak.

"Face-to-face talk!" Li Jie replied again.

"Face-to-face?" Zhu Yunxi was shocked again, "Brother-in-law, do you mean to let me have a face-to-face conversation with my fourth uncle?"

"Of course!" Li No. 2 said.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean is to let the fourth uncle come to the capital for a talk?" Zhu Yunxi was shocked again and finally understood what Li Jie meant. If Zhu Di was willing to come to the capital, it means that he was open-minded, at least he did not have any intention of being unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty.
