My Daming New Empire

Zhu Youdou followed Zhu Zhanji, trying his best to support his tired body.But after running for dozens of miles, his thighs were already worn out and painful.

If it weren't for the Laba Festival today, when people from various palaces were in the capital this year and were summoned by His Majesty to hold a family banquet, he wouldn't be so tossing himself, riding for dozens of miles back.

In such weather, lying in the warm hot spring and watching the snowflakes flutter, that is the most beautiful enjoyment.

Of course, it would be even more beautiful to have a delicate little beauty in his arms.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little envious of the dozens of soldiers who held their wedding there today.Those are all the beauties collected by various palaces, so they are cheap.

But... He squinted at Zhu Zhanji, who had a calm face. Which of these soldiers is not willing to die for this nephew's actions today!

In terms of winning people's hearts, he is not as good as this nephew. Not only did he give them daughters-in-law, but he also held a wedding ceremony for them himself. With such a standard, no one would dare to do anything to these people in the future.

Even if there are Shangguan who want to snatch these beauties, but as long as they think that they are betrothed by the grandson himself, and he is willing to take out his own courtyard as a new house for them, who else would dare to snatch them?

Although these rising stars of the navy are still not high-ranking officials, they have made great achievements. As long as they don't destroy their future, 20 years later, I am afraid that they will not all be generals of one party. This navy will always be firmly controlled by him. .

Riding a horse today, although there was no grandson's guard of honor, the two royal guards who took the lead still raised two imperial flags.

From time to time, passers-by on the road recognized the two flags, and they all knelt down and kowtowed willingly, and only got up and continued on the road after they passed by.

Now around the capital, in the eyes of the common people, the grandson is probably more wise than the emperor.

These people are mothers if they have milk, but this nephew has indeed benefited many ordinary people in the capital.

From Zheng He's four voyages to the West, the food and supplies brought back from Nanyang formed a complete industrial chain.

In the entire Jiangnan area, there is almost no family that has not benefited from this industrial chain.

Of course, the more important thing is that Taisun has developed so many emerging industries over the years, and each industry requires a lot of manpower.

As long as you have a little strength, even if you have no land at home, you can support a family with your hands.

And none of these people didn't say good things about Taisun.

Zhu Youdun thought about himself, Kaifeng mansion is much smaller, but I am afraid that few people know him when he comes out.

This is the gap.

Walking to Xiaolingwei, in addition to the original military camp, there are also a large number of people living here relying on this nephew's Xiamaqiao farm.There are many more simple shacks on the roadside.

The speed finally slowed down. At this time, Zhu Youdou didn't have to tense up any more, but could slow down.

Not far from here is the Mausoleum of the Taizu. Zhu Zhanji had people build these shacks, even if they gave the surrounding people a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and they could earn a little money.

The attitude of these people towards Zhu Zhanji became even closer. Someone shouted, "His Royal Highness is coming." People kneeled on both sides of the road.

He has never been like this nephew, who always greets everyone with a smile and greets them tirelessly.

But he has never experienced the sincere kneeling of the people.They looked at this nephew with respect in their eyes, which he had never experienced before.

Passing by Xiamaqiao Farm, which has become a forbidden area now, he didn't know what there was that needed to be kept secret, and he wasn't interested in asking about it.

The less you know, the safer you are. This is what he learned from his own experience.

But sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, are the things here more important than those in the Jiajiang Industrial Zone?

But he didn't have an answer either.

The horse team soon arrived at Houbiao Camp, which used to be Dong'anmen.Zhu Youdun's heart finally relaxed, and only at this moment did he feel the biting cold wind, and his hand holding the rein of the horse was already stiff.

Zhu Zhanji turned around and smiled at him at this time: "Uncle Liu stays in the capital, and he should urge those writers to sort out the materials as soon as possible and write out the script."

Zhu Youdou nodded and replied, "Tomorrow I will go to your other courtyard and personally supervise their exchanges with those heroes."

"I've already made arrangements for the inner prison. When the story book is written, it will be printed in large quantities and distributed to the world. Not only bookstores everywhere, but even government offices, county schools, and government schools will sell it at a low price. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to sell it. Go out, just for the Navy, I have already ordered [-] copies, and I plan to distribute them for free."

"It's just..., isn't this cost a little bit more?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "The paper and ink are all produced by the internal prison, and at most it will cost some labor. As long as you sell half of them, you won't lose money... Besides, the cost is really not big."

He has already seen that even though his sixth uncle is the son of Zhou Wang, he is still willing to contact low-level people.But I don't know if it's because I have more contact with those poor people, and they have become poor.

Generally speaking, the vision is not wide enough, and the courage is not strong enough.However, it is still possible to engage in cultural and ideological work.

At Dong'an Gate, Liu Wan and a few young eunuchs were shivering in the cold wind. When they saw Zhu Zhanji and the others coming back, they immediately greeted them. "Your Highness, it's getting late. Your Majesty has already ordered the meal to be served a quarter of an hour ago. Hurry up."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "Are my clothes ready?"

"It's at the horse changing place inside the Donghua Gate." As he spoke, he began to rush inside impatiently.

Because the Daming Palace was built in the southeast corner of the entire city, Dong'an Gate was the outer city gate, and Donghua Gate was the imperial palace gate, but the distance between the two city gates was not far.

This Dong'an Gate is not open to the common people. Between the inner and outer cities live Jinyiwei, the inner prison, and three different military guards.There is a small path open to civil and military officials leading to the Chengtian Gate, which is convenient for ministers and nobles who come to visit the East Palace to enter and exit.

Otherwise, there would be no way for someone to visit the East Palace and pass through the entire palace!

Inside the Donghua Gate is an urn city, which is also a place to raise horses and hide soldiers.Some ministers who came to visit the palace were also waiting to be summoned here.

In order to save time for Zhu Zhanji, Liu Wan and the others took his new clothes to the guest room here. In addition to preparing a set for Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Youdun's servant also brought a set of winter clothes for him to change. .

Today's Laba Festival is a family feast, so there is no need to wear a crown, ordinary clothes are enough.

Zhu Zhanji took off his riding clothes and put on his normal clothes again. He sat on a stool and let Li Liang comb his hair again, and put on a netted square scarf.

Today's family banquet was held in the Hall of Martial Arts in the West Palace, where Zhu Di often entertained ministers.The imperial kitchen of the imperial palace is located between the West Palace and the back garden, and the Dapao Kitchen is located on the west side of the Hall of Martial Arts.

Although today is a family banquet, there are no more than 500 people at most, and those without any rank will not be able to attend the banquet at all.

And with so many people, the royal chefs can serve up a feast of color, flavor and taste.

After passing through the three halls, you will come directly to the Hall of Martial Arts.Zhu Zhanji is no stranger to dinner parties in the palace. At this time, the front hall is generally a dining place for men, and the back hall is a place for female relatives.

Zhu Youdun realized Zhu Zhanji's prestige in the palace again.These three halls are the most important places in the country, and only the emperor can enter the palace without restriction.

These clans can only move in designated areas when they enter the imperial palace. Generally, they cannot go from the East Palace to the West Palace, let alone directly pass through the porch between the three halls.

Even the crown prince was restricted by this rule, but Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, was able to pass through unimpeded. The eunuchs guarding the gate and the Jin Yiwei of the three halls were all accustomed to it and did not stop him at all.

The more I got in touch with this nephew, the more I realized that he was so powerful that he was able to gather all the eunuchs and Jin Yiwei in the palace.

As soon as he entered the Wuying Hall, Zhu Zhanji noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit dignified. The little eunuchs all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, and there was no festive celebration at all.

Still in doubt, Jin Kuo has already greeted him, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Prince of Liao has provoked His Majesty's anger, and everyone is looking forward to your return to comfort His Majesty. It's a big festival today, why bother to be so angry because of an outsider?" own body."

"What happened?"

Jin Kuo lowered his voice and said: "It is said that a woman from a good family was tortured and killed, but her hands and feet were not clean. Her husband's family found out, and this made the trouble before His Majesty."
