Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 423 The Development of India 2
However, the Iron-Faced General's expression quickly turned serious again.

"Old Xia, you need to finish that Longjiang River renovation plan as soon as possible. The supporting plans for the Longjiang River's tributaries also need to be completed at the same time!"
On my side, this general has gathered quite a few Sindhu barbarians!
These filthy scumbags are only useful at times like this!

Otherwise, the Iron-Faced General bluntly demanded the Longjiang renovation plan from Xia Yuanji.

After all, Xia Yuanji is a highly authoritative expert in water conservancy! And this time, the Iron-Faced General plans to complete the entire transformation of Longjiang in one go! And as quickly as possible! As for how many barbarians and prisoners of war will die in the process! That can only be attributed to their bad luck!

In the eyes of the Iron-Faced General, those barbarians from India were only useful as labor consumables for construction projects; otherwise, he would have wiped them out long ago!
As for whether he would be called a butcher or something similar, the Iron-Faced General could only say:
Everything is for the greatness of the Zhu family of the Prince of Han's Mansion!

"Don't worry, General, all the blueprints will be finalized soon," Xia Yuanji replied earnestly.

In fact, even in Xia Yuanji's view, those despicable Sindhu people, apart from the women of marriageable age who could be married to the soldiers, were all people who needed to be eliminated!

Even Xia Yuanji, a scholar, thought they were utterly despicable!
It was absolutely appalling!

They shouldn't even be alive!

Therefore, unusually, Xia Yuanji did not speak up for the prisoners of war who were about to build various projects, nor for the barbarian people!

After all, it's all for my grandson!
"General Jiang, apart from the troops maintaining order, the other soldiers are still scattered in various places. Arrest all those unruly and filthy barbarians!"

The males were directly incorporated into the Longjiang River system and construction projects in various locations!
Those who are useless, dishonest, and completely incapable of working will be dealt with directly! Those who can work will be directly incorporated into the river system!
Even if a woman of marriageable age is still filthy, give her a good lashing to teach her a lesson!
The assignment of wounded soldiers to villages must be expedited, expedited even further!
Furthermore, they must all be provided with wives; one is not enough, so two! Three! Those who are capable can marry ten, no problem! We not only need to solve the current population problem, but also plan to solve the future population problem!

all in all!
This general intends to complete the construction of the entire Sindhu region within one year!
"No one can be delayed in the establishment of the Han Prince's Mansion!!!" The Iron-Faced General slammed his hand on the table, turned his gaze to Jiang Xiaohu, and said with a serious expression.

"Your subordinate obeys!!" Don't let Jiang Xiaohu's position as the commander of the Third Army stationed in Sindhu fool you. He's no fool; he's the head of the entire Han Prince's combat intelligence system! He naturally knows who this iron-faced general is!

Therefore, Jiang Xiaohu knew in his heart that the three people sitting in front of him were all from the same family!

He's the only one who's a wage earner!
Therefore, Jiang Xiaohu never spoke when the three of them were discussing things; he simply carried out their orders firmly!
And after the general direction of the construction of the Sindhu region was set in the Third Army camp.

Soon, the Iron-Faced General, in the name of the Prince of Han's Mansion, issued the highest construction order directly to the local government offices!
Immediately, the vast system of the Han Prince's Palace, spanning thousands of miles, began to operate rapidly.

Boatloads of prisoners of war and countless Sindhu civilians were transported to Sindhu to carry out construction work such as river repair, Taoist temple construction, palace building, and road maintenance!
Teams of Taoist priests dressed in robes ventured deep into the towns and counties of India to build Taoist temples, spread their teachings, and pay tribute to the fallen soldiers!
Batch after batch of wounded soldiers were transported to India from all directions and assigned to newly planned villages to serve as village chiefs!

One grand military wedding after another was held on the land of Sindhu!

One after another, eligible young women, widows, and wounded soldiers who had been rewarded by heaven and earth were forced into marriage!
One after another, the filthy indigenous people of India who were completely incapable of working, as well as nobles and monks, were executed on the spot, staining the land red!

One after another, stubborn, runaway, and rebellious barbarian civilians, soldiers, and nobles were beheaded and their heads displayed to intimidate the barbarians!

One corpse after another was buried in a pile!

One grave mound after another rose from the ground!

One bizarre Buddhist temple after another was demolished! Monks after monks were forced to return to secular life and were escorted to various construction sites!
One batch after another of high-yield grain seeds were distributed to various parts of India, planted, and harvested!

Truckloads and boatloads of various goods and supplies were transported to India for construction purposes!

One after another, outstanding craftsmen from various places were sent to India to oversee various reforms!
Farmland was reclaimed acre after acre!
One farm tool after another was distributed!
One by one, weapons were forged!
In short, if viewed from the sky, one could see that every inch of Indian soil was undergoing earth-shattering changes at every moment!
Bleeding every single day!

People die every single day!

New projects are being completed every single day!

New changes every day!
Finally, three years have passed in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, in the luxurious palace of Hanting Longdu (Shendu was renamed Hanting, and the place where the capital was established was called Longdu), Zhu Zhanhe was leisurely lying on a soft couch, enjoying the lychees fed to him by his concubine, Mu.

"Ping'er".

"The fruits in this Han court are indeed excellent, very fresh and sweet." Zhu Zhanhe swallowed a lychee that Mu Shi fed him with great pleasure, and then naturally took a bite of his concubine's slender finger, saying comfortably and contentedly.

"As long as Your Highness is happy."

"I have my servants prepare it for Your Highness every day." Concubine Mu Ping'er pouted, blinked her big eyes, and after pulling her slender finger out of her husband's mouth in annoyance, replied to Zhu Zhanhe with teary eyes.

"My Ping'er is so thoughtful." Zhu Zhanhe gently stroked Consort Mu's small hand, his face full of tenderness.

"Your Highness should take this opportunity to rest for a while."

In the next two days, the prince will formally offer sacrifices to Heaven and pray before ascending the throne as emperor.

"Then, Your Highness will be quite busy." Mu Ping'er said with a smile, feeding her husband another lychee, her voice soft yet full of anticipation.

"When the time comes, I will bestow upon my Ping'er the title of Imperial Noble Consort." Zhu Zhanhe pulled his concubine Mu into his arms, feeling her voluptuous figure, and said with a contented expression.

It has to be said that wealth really does nourish a person. Mu Ping'er, who is over thirty years old, still looks delicate and youthful, not at all like a child. Instead, she is even more voluptuous and alluring.

"Then I must thank Your Majesty properly." After hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, Mu Ping'er nestled in her husband's arms with a smile, gave him a passionate kiss, and said excitedly.

"Ping'er, do you really want to thank me properly?"
"Then why don't you, my dear Ping'er, give me a daughter!" Zhu Zhanhe said softly, his hands feeling the plump waist in his arms, as he whispered in the ear of his concubine, Mu Shi.

"Your Highness."

Several years ago, my elder sister had already explained this to me and the other younger sisters in the Prince's Mansion.

Whoever can give birth to a princess for the prince will be richly rewarded by my sister!

But now, Your Highness, look, these words have been spoken for several years, and no one has received a reward from my sister.

On the contrary, her other sisters have given birth to three more princes for the prince! Mu Ping'er was helplessly exasperated by her husband's renewed attempts to persuade her to have daughters for him.

Her prince desperately wanted a daughter, and for this reason, he tirelessly pursued his wives and concubines. But from beginning to end, only sons were born! To this day, all of their dozen or so offspring are sons! Not a single daughter!
