Seven days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's 60th birthday came as scheduled.

In the year of Ershun, being able to get such a capable grandson as Zhu Xiongying should be regarded as the happiest thing in Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like to engage in these ostentatious bluffs, and he didn't like those emperors who used to be in power to come here as a gimmick to exploit the people, but he really couldn't hold back those ministers, saying that the emperor is the supreme person. To do otherwise would be to live up to the will of heaven, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to follow.

Fangzheng's birthday was also handed over to Concubine Zhao Hui and Zhu Yunwen's mother in the harem.

As soon as he came to court, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to go to Wei Guogong's mansion.

Zhu Xiongying agreed to give himself a generous gift, but he was very curious about what good ideas this brat would have.

After living for 60 years, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to it like a child for the first time.

"Grand grandson, Grandpa Huang is here, hurry up and bring out the birthday gift!"

Zhu Xiongying was amused by Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious look.

"What's the hurry, grandpa?" Zhu Xiongying walked over, "Please follow me."

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Xiongying into the door, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a bamboo tube from Zhu Yuanzhang's place.

"What is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it with a bamboo tube.

"Grandpa Huang opened it and looked at it, so you'll know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the lid of the bamboo tube, and there was a painting inside. When the flower roll was slowly opened, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually grew his mouth.

The painting is a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!

The majestic mountains, the blue water, the endless blue sky, the vast uninhabited plains in the north, the small bridges and flowing water in the misty and rainy south of the Yangtze River...

The world's rivers and mountains are fully displayed in front of his eyes without any reduction.

This is the country that Zhu Yuanzhang laid down by himself. He is the master of this country and the God of the people in the country!

Zhu Yuanzhang has never felt so shocked. Looking at the flower rolls stretching for several meters, Zhu Yuanzhang's blood rushed straight to his forehead, which is really called blood boiling.

"Huaiying's painting skills are mediocre, she's making a fool of herself in front of the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Xiongying took a step back and slowly raised his hand in salute.

This picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains was drawn by Zhu Xiongying himself based on the memory of his previous life. Some details may not be particularly accurate, but it is almost inseparable. During the Chongwu period, the territory of the Ming Dynasty roughly looked like this.

This is probably a real "map".

"My grandson, why should you be so modest!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile, "This is obviously a world-shocking work! I didn't expect you to be able to describe my great Ming Dynasty so vividly and profoundly at such a young age! It's simply incredible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew the general appearance of the mountains and rivers under his hands, but he never thought that Zhu Xiongying had never been out of the capital, it is impossible to see the world outside, but he could actually paint the mountains and rivers so well!
Some regional characteristics, feudal vassals, and regional jurisdiction are exactly the same!
What a child prodigy!

Once again, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with emotion. If a person like Zhu Xiongying is in the world, it must be an industry that lasts for generations, and it is naturally a fame that will last forever!

"Grand grandson! Grandpa Huang is so happy today, you have to drink with Grandpa Huang for three days and three nights!"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and refused: "Grandpa Huang forgot what Huaiying told you? Drinking too much wine is too harmful after all, Grandpa Huang must drink less. Besides, how can you hide in the courtyard of a deep house on such a good day today? Drinking! Why don't you come with me to Chang'an Avenue, Grandpa Huang?"

"That's fine!" Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

This picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is really satisfactory. I am afraid that even if Zhu Xiongying wants the stars in the sky now, Zhu Yuanzhang has to take a ladder and climb to the sky for Zhu Xiongying to pick them off.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying has other purposes.

The grandparents and grandchildren were walking on Changsan Street. It was already evening, and the bustling scene on Chang'an Street was very charming.

This is our country, the world built by our own hands, and our brilliant achievement!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt unspeakably proud.

Seeing him so proud, Zhu Xiongying knew in her heart that she had to remind the old man who was dazzled by the peaceful scene in front of him.

"Grandpa Huang sees that the world is prosperous?"

"Of course!"

"Grandfather, does the emperor hope that this world will always be as prosperous as it is?"

"Of course, we've worked so hard all our lives just for this!"

"But Grandpa Huang can't be fascinated by the bustling scene in front of him." Zhu Xiongying gave Zhu Yuanzhang a blow in the head suddenly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared blankly at Zhu Xiongying: "What does Huaiying mean by that?"

"Looking at the flowers in the fog is not a flower, and looking at the moon and the moon in the water is not the moon. The emperor only saw the bustling world of Chang'an Street, but has he ever seen what is hidden behind it?"

"You mean..."

"In ancient times, when Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Qi's doctor, he said at first that the king had a disease in his body, and if he didn't cure it, he would be afraid." Zhu Xiongying smiled softly, and then said, "However, Marquis Huan thought that the widow had no disease. The medicine is good and the disease is not cured. Ten days later, Bian Que warned Duke Huan of Qi that the disease of the king is in the skin, and if it is not cured, it will get deeper."

"It's a pity that Duke Huan of Qi is stubborn, so he just doesn't listen to persuasion. Even though Bian Que warned that the king's disease is in the stomach, if it is not cured, it will get worse, but Marquis Huan should not. In the end, the disease is in the skin, and the soup and iron can reach it." Also; in the skin, where the needles and stones reach; in the stomach, where the Qi of the fire reaches; in the bone marrow, where the fate belongs, there is nothing to do. Now it is in the bone marrow, so there is no need."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little apprehensive, and he should probably understand what Zhu Xiongying said.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, Zhu Xiongying also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang understood the meaning of his Chinese words.

"Grandpa Huang must know what I want to say, so I won't beat around the bush. I just hope Grandpa Huang won't blame me."

"Don't keep saying these unpleasant things, just say what you have to say!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a long sigh.

Zhu Xiongying paused: "Since the emperor's grandfather ordered me to start shipping in Ming Dynasty, this matter has been progressing like a raging fire. This is a good thing, but there are also some problems hidden in it. A businessman friend I made by chance once told me about a After hearing about the unimaginable things, Grandpa Huang will probably get angry again."

"Say it!" Zhu Yuanzhang turned his hands behind his back, "Can we still punish you!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and continued: "My friend purchased a batch of leather grass from overseas some time ago, and the journey went smoothly, but he didn't expect to pass through Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River. , Coerced and lured [-] kinds of tricks, insisted that people pay three times the tax, the fur didn’t make any money, but a lot of it was posted, my friend almost fainted when he talked about it.”

We must know that since Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the lifting of the sea ban, the sea transport has gradually issued a series of comprehensive laws, but officials everywhere obviously know the law and break the law, and are corrupt.
