First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After a cup of tea, Zhu Biao's hands naturally fell on his knees. Xu Da also directly ordered the female relatives to take a step ahead. Zhu Biao waved his hand to let Liu An lead. It was nothing for him to see Mrs. Xie or Xu Yihua. It is good to have a good family, but when Xu Yungong is not here, it is difficult for his wife, Li Shi, to meet directly.

It's not impossible, it's just that Zhu Biao is too lazy to see him, so he can have nothing to say when he sees him, so it's better if he doesn't come. Xu Da can also see it, so he never asked his daughter-in-law to come out to meet the prince.

Women's affairs are handled by women. Zhu Biao believes that his concubine will take good care of Li Shi later. Die willingly...

After waiting for a while, Zhu Biao and Xu Da got up and walked out. After some refusals, Xu Da was pulled into the car by Zhu Biao, and the huge guard of honor returned from the Zhongshan Palace to the palace.

Many caring people are watching the situation here silently. Although Xu Da has not led the army again in the past two years, his position as the first commander in the founding of the country does not mean that others can easily shake it. Even Chang Yuchun back then Most of them are lieutenants under Xu Da's command.

Originally thought that the superior was going to treat Xu Shuai coldly, but now it seems that Long's favorite is still the same, as can be seen from the grand prince's personal welcome. As for other things that cannot be studied in detail, at least the members of the Xu family have no reason to complain about Xu Da.

Soon the guard of honor entered the Chengtian Gate, passed the Duanmen Meridian Gate, and stopped in front of the Inner Wulong Bridge. Liu Jin pulled the curtain of the car and set up a stool for the prince and King Zhongshan to get out of the car calmly.

Following a sound of respectful farewell, Zhu Biao and Xu Da were surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs and walked towards Jinshen Palace, while Xie's Li family and Xu Yihua were admitted to Kunning Palace by the big court ladies beside Empress Ma. We still need to talk separately.

Just after passing the Huagai Hall, you can already see Lao Zhu walking around in front of the Jinshen Hall with his hands behind his back. It can be seen that he has been waiting for a while. Zhu Biao smiled to Xu Da who was beside him: It can be seen that the father really misses Uncle Xu. .”

Xu Da sighed: Heaven's grace is mighty and glorious, so you dare not obey your life?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw them, and greeted them with a big smile: Tiande, we miss you so much.

Zhu Biao bowed and moved aside with a smile, while Xu Da wanted to pay respects solemnly, but just as he bent his knees, he was dragged up by the old Zhu who caught up: My brothers don't have to do this. Up, it's all like this.

That can't be done. Brothers are brothers, monarchs and ministers are monarchs and ministers, and etiquette cannot be abolished. Otherwise, how will the superiors serve the public in the future?

With you here, who dares to disobey us? Come, come in and talk.

The two entered the Jinshen Hall holding hands, and Zhu Biao naturally followed silently. Zhu Yuanzhang did not take a seat in the main hall, but went to the side hall, where there was already a tea shop prepared.

This was brought by your sister-in-law just now. I want you to have an appetizer first. Later, there will be dishes made by her.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed kindness, and Xu Da also relaxed, and he no longer followed the rules as usual, and finally regained the free and easy energy he had during the Southern and Northern Wars before the founding of the country.

It's been many years since we've eaten the dishes cooked by our sister-in-law, and we'll have three big bowls in a while!

Hahaha, don't worry about it, my brother will not go home if he is drunk today. If he drinks too much, he will sleep in the palace!

The two sat down and chatted enthusiastically, but Zhu Biao was ignored, so he didn't step forward to interrupt when he saw this, and waved away the maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, giving them a quiet space to chat.

Asking Liu Jin to wait at the door, Zhu Biao turned his head and returned to the main hall. There were still some unfinished memorials on the case file. His father would definitely have a good drink tonight, so naturally he couldn't take care of these.

Swinging his sleeves and sitting down on his exclusive seat, Zhao Huaian stepped forward to grind it cleverly, and several eunuchs serving here moved the above memorial to the prince, and the refreshing incense was rekindled in the hall.

The speed of Zhu Biao’s review of memorials is still acceptable. This thing actually depends on experience. The information on paper and ink is definitely not comprehensive. If you want to think about this matter and weigh the pros and cons of the court and the local area, as long as the thinking mode is opened to judge It's quick to get up.

As for the accuracy of the government order, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. It can only be said that there is nothing wrong with the direction, but no one is sure how it will be misinterpreted when it reaches the place. The imperial court is now controlling the world. Strong, but the details are slow.

Clan squires are always local snakes, and the imperial power is also difficult to shake. They cannot massacre clans and clans just because they may have small actions. What's more, most of the squires now have spokespersons in the court. Five years after the founding of the country, all parties married wives There are many concubines and children in marriage.

A bottom-up net has already engulfed the upstarts with mud-legged backgrounds. The extravagant life that their ancestors could not have imagined suddenly fell down. The dowry is willing to lie low and be a concubine. Who can refuse such a beautiful thing that can benefit both people and money?

This kind of thing was unavoidable when the country was founded in all dynasties. The combination of the upstarts and the old households can allow the upstarts to enjoy the power and enjoyment they deserve as soon as possible. After that, there will be a new noble family.

Half an hour later, Zhu Biao put down the Langhao brush in his hand, took a sip of the hot tea that Liu An handed over, and asked casually, What are you doing over there?

Liu An bowed and replied: The Empress is entertaining Princess Xie, and Mrs. Li and Miss Xu are following the Crown Princess to coax the two young highnesses.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: Go and urge, prepare for the banquet.

promise.

Zhu Biao was in a good mood. His husband, Mr. Song, had finally left and would arrive in the capital in a few days. He also said in the letter that he had brought a lot of good seedlings, who could assist him in the future with good teaching.

The old master is an ordinary official, but his vision is absolutely first-rate. The imperial court lacks talents, and there will never be too many.

It is estimated that due to the continuous expansion of Enke's quota in the past two years, all qualified leeks in the world have been harvested, and now they are all half-baked.

The Guozijian now has more than five thousand students, Lao Zhu plans to build a Guozijian in Fengyang, recruit talents and train students, and has ordered the Ministry of Industry to make preparations.

The two Imperial Colleges are located in the south, which seems a bit unfair to the northern scholars. There is a big gap in the academic level of the northern and southern scholars, which can easily cause dissatisfaction among the northern scholars. Although their dissatisfaction is insignificant, the court must pay attention to To be fair, both the north and the south are under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Biao has also proposed to build a Guozijian in Beiping Prefecture, and it is expected that construction will start next year. If it is built according to the scale of the Beijing Guozijian, it will actually be a relatively large investment, and in the future, it will continue to invest in resources for students. , according to Daming's current financial situation, it is actually a bit reluctant.

But the merits are in the present and the benefits are in the future. The court can only find a way to overcome it, but it will suffer again from the Minister of the Ministry of Households. Zhu Biao watched him become thinner and haggard from a rich state. A cruel person like Lao Zhu couldn't help it. He was rewarded with two Liaodong ginseng.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help pinching his brows, and told himself not to do anything else this year. We have to increase income and reduce expenditure. Everywhere in the world needs money and food, but people's livelihood has just slowed down. The south is fine, and the north and southwest The people in other places have some food for the winter, so that the whole family will not starve to death. They still need to be taken care of carefully, and it is not easy to collect more taxes.

This year's spring tea has also begun to be picked and transported to Beijing. Tomorrow, we have to find a time to arrange the trade between the tea horse company and the grassland. After the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea and South China Sea are cleaned up in summer, the imperial court, including some aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, can try to start the Nanyang trade. .

The Ming Dynasty didn’t have many other things. Luxury goods such as porcelain and silk were enough. The Southeast Asian countries were located in the tropics. There was still a lot of food.

After two years, when the situation gets better, Zhu Biao is going to take good care of Qiongzhou Mansion and Wanli Stone Pond, that is, Hainan Island and the South China Sea. The Yuan Dynasty has already used Wanli Stone Pond as an inland sea, and his own inland sea has to be cleaned up.
