History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

In Yongshou Palace, the emperor has arrived and is chatting with the empress dowager.

Next to her was Concubine Yi with a smile on her face and Princess Changhui accompanying the Queen Mother. After the eunuch sang her name, Concubine De walked in, followed her with a smile and blessed the emperor.

"I wanted to come here earlier, but I didn't expect to be so late, I should be punished!" said Concubine De with a smile and patted her mouth lightly.

The queen mother smiled and said: "The juniors are here, what do you look like?" She waved to Yuanbao, "Is this from the fourth family? There were so many people that I didn't have time to look at it just now. Seeing this little appearance, I just sat down with Guanyin and saw it off." Like a rich boy."

Yuan Bao looked up at Minning, Minning let go of his hand and pushed his back. "Don't be afraid, go."

Yuan Bao trotted over and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand.

The queen mother coaxed him, "I am your mother."

The queen mother spoke in Manchu, and Yuan Bao had never learned this word, so he looked at a loss.

"This is the boy from Yinzhen's family, isn't he quite clever?" the emperor said.

Concubine De smiled and said, "Your Majesty is majestic, which one of these emperors and grandsons is not afraid of His Majesty?"

The emperor smiled and beckoned Yuan Bao to pass, Yuan Bao glanced at Min Ning, Min Ning did not move but smiled to encourage him.

Yuan Bao plucked up his courage and walked over. The emperor stroked a small tuft of hair on top of his head and said to him in Chinese, "This is grandma."

"Grandmother." Yuan Bao probably felt that the emperor in front of him treated him very kindly, so Yuan Bao followed suit.

The queen mother on the side responded with a smile.

The emperor began to ask what his name was again?How old are you this year?

Yuan Bao answered one by one, the more he talked, the more courageous he became, he couldn't stop looking at the emperor's beard, seeing the beard up and down following the emperor's words, his eyes became wider and wider.

The Queen Mother, Concubine Yi, and Concubine De all noticed this scene and covered their mouths to snigger.

"...So it's called Yuanbao, how did you get it? What books have you read?"

Seeing his eyes staring blankly at his chin, the emperor couldn't help but stroked his beard suspiciously, and asked again.

Yuan Bao came back to his senses and said, "I've read about flowers and birds."

The emperor froze for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, "What have you read?"

Looking at the emperor's beard, Yuan Bao replied loudly, "Flowers and birds!"

The emperor immediately looked down at Minning.

Minning looked embarrassed, took a step forward and answered, "Back to Long live, Yuan Bao has only read "Enlightenment of the Rhythm", and what he said and the bird refers to this book."

The emperor asked again, "What book is this "Enlightenment of the Rhythm"?"

Minning replied again: "This book was written by Master Che Wanyu of Bingke, and it was once submitted to a newspaper. Later, our master sent someone to ask Master Che for the manuscript, compiled it into a book, and officially published it last year. Lord Long Live is busy with his affairs, so he must have never heard of this trivial matter."

The emperor nodded slightly, and said to Yuan Bao, "Then you carry the flowers and birds in your mouth."

When it comes to endorsing ingots, he gets excited, mainly because his mother will reward him with delicious desserts every time he finishes memorizing.

Looking expectantly at Minning, Minning understood what he meant and nodded.

"Clouds are against rain, snow is against wind, evening sunshine is against clear sky. Laihong is against going swallows, old birds are against songworms..." the little guy said in a childish voice.

The emperor slapped his fingers on his knees and nodded continuously. After Yuan Bao had finished memorizing Yuan Bao for a winter, he said, "This book is good. It can help children master the rhythm of the sound and understand the things in the world. There must be another volume here. Bar?"

Minning replied: "This book is divided into two volumes, and Yuan Bao only learned part of the first volume."

The emperor nodded slightly, and didn't know what to think. He skipped the topic and said to the queen mother in Mongolian, "Qin Tianjian chose a few names before. I think Hongjing is a good name. What do you think, Queen Mother?" ?”

The queen mother nodded, and said to a kind old lady with a smile, "Okay, this name is good."

The emperor patted Yuan Bao on the head and said with satisfaction: "That's fine, from now on you will be called Hong Jing..."

The emperor did not stay in Yongshou Palace for too long. Minning and Concubine De accompanied the Queen Mother and said a few words, and then she winked at Princess Changhui, hugged Yuan Bao who was asleep again, and followed Concubine De Leave the Yonghe Palace.

Back in the Yonghe Palace, Fourth Master and Fujin were already in the Yonghe Palace.

The two bowed to Concubine De, and Minning bowed to the two with Yuan Bao in his arms.

"Are you going back?" Concubine De asked.

Because the family had funeral affairs in the previous year, they didn't plan to stay in the palace for a long time this year. Concubine De also understood that, she glanced at the pale-faced Ulanara, and told her to take care of her health.

Fujin thanked him, and the fourth master took the ingot from Minning.

Fujin didn't feel anything yet, but Concubine De felt that the eldest son was with An Jia, but they behaved more like a husband and wife.

Taking another look at the eldest daughter-in-law who had a gloomy face that no one noticed, Concubine De finally said nothing.

After bidding farewell to Concubine De, Minning followed Fourth Master out of the palace.

After getting into the carriage, Fourth Master took off his cloak and wrapped Yuanbao tightly from head to toe, and the three of them returned to the mansion without a word.

Back at the mansion, originally Minning wanted to go back to his yard for dinner, but Fourth Master stopped her and Fujin directly.

"Don't go back and let the kitchen work hard, just have a meal together."

Min Ning could take a look at Fujin, and Fujin didn't object, since the two giants are the same.

Yuan Bao was put into the fourth master's room and kept sleeping under guard.

During the Chinese New Year, the meals are always the same, so they are always kept hot on the stove.

Fourth Master asked someone to pass on the meal, and soon the kitchen brought over the food box.

One dish after another was served, and a table was spread.

After a silent meal.

The fourth master asked Fujin to remove the food, and then said to Fujin, "After a while, Ama Khan will patrol the river in the south, and I will accompany him. This time I will be out for a long time, and the mansion has to trouble Fujin to take care of it. "

Fujin glanced at Min Ning who was sitting next to him, understood the meaning of Fourth Master's words, and immediately said, "Which younger sisters will I take with me on this trip?"

The fourth master pretended to ponder, and then replied: "The youngest son born by Mrs. Li is not yet one year old, so I won't take her with me this time." The meaning of the fourth master's words is very clear. Mrs. Li wants to take care of the child at home, so not going?And Yuan Bao was already able to run around at this age, since Minning was free to do so.

Minning raised her head and glanced at Fourth Master, even she could understand the meaning of Fourth Master's words, let alone Fujin, she looked at Fujin next to him.

Fujin nodded, "Sister An has always served Master well, and the third elder brother is already grown up, why don't we go together?" Last time I tried to stop him, but An Jia took the opportunity to control the mansion, this time Taking advantage of An Jia's absence, she can also place some people in important positions in the mansion.

Fourth Master nodded in satisfaction.

Fujin Xianhui said: "Sister An alone may not be able to serve you. Didn't the empress bestow two Princesses last year? Why don't we go together this time."

Fourth Master achieved his goal, so he naturally gave Fujin this face, "Fujin can do what he sees."

After talking about this matter, Fourth Master said to Minning again, "From now on, Yuan Bao's name will be Hong Jing. Now that he has a name, let's call him by his name as much as possible."

Min Ning, who was still obsessed with the news that he was going out, came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Lord."

After finishing his meal, Fujin got up to leave.

Minning went to pick up his son, coaxed him to eat something, and followed him back to the yard.

After a while, fourth master followed.

"Khan Ama said that the hospital under your command will be moved to the capital, what do you think?"

Minning was a little surprised. The medical school was formed to its current scale through her hard work and care. The emperor now said that he wanted to move the medical school to the capital because he wanted to take advantage of it and directly take away her achievements.

Many talents and medicines have been hatched in these medical schools, and Minning is a little unwilling to hand them over like this.

But since the emperor spoke, there was no room for Minning to refuse. After turning the matter around in his heart, Minning smiled and said to the fourth master, "Master, I have a medical school in each of the four major medicine schools. I don’t know which one Long Live God wants to move here.” In fact, among the four major medical schools, only the one in Bozhou has made a name for itself, and the other three are still enrolling students.

"This..." Fourth Master mused, "I haven't said anything about Khan Ama. I think it's better to choose the one with the best development and move to Beijing."

Minning thought in his heart, you are more impolite than your father!

Then he respectfully said: "Master, can you see if this works? The medical school has already taken root in the four major medicines, and if it migrates here, it would be a pity to waste the original foundation. How about this..."

She glanced at Si Ye and continued, "We can open a branch hospital in the capital, and then select some top-notch medical talents from the four major medical capitals to the branch hospital, so that the fourth hospital will not be injured. Inheritance can also meet the requirements of Long Live Lord."

It's okay for the fourth master to think about it, anyway, Han Ama wants people with excellent medical skills, and those below with mediocre medical skills and apprentices who have just started, shouldn't be very interested.

After making the decision, the fourth master said with satisfaction: "Just do as you said, Khan Ama has agreed to enclose a piece of land for your medical school in the capital, and after turning back to the master, your subordinates can take over the land. As for how to build it, the Lord and Khan Ama will not ask."

Minning thanked him.

In any case, the hen that laid the egg was saved.

Calculating the time, it is time to open the branch. Selecting some people to come to the capital can just smooth things out for the branch.

After all, she still has Yuan Bao and fourth master are in Beijing. If she really falls ill, she still trusts the doctor under her own name more than the doctors of this era.

The next day, Minning invited Princess Changhui to visit the mansion again, and discussed with her about relocating some factories to the exchange market.

Princess Changhui simply agreed, "Anyway, the younger sisters under me are jealous of me opening a factory, so let's move out if I move out. I'm not very interested in these, as long as I manage my "Yan Bao" well. Just do it."

Minning replied: "Then convert the shares of the factory into shares of Yan Bao and give it to you."

After the Lantern Festival, Minning ordered people to build a branch of the medical school in Beijing.

The medical school this time is different from the previous ones. The hospital for treating symptoms is separated from the school. The hospital is located in the capital, and the school is located outside the city, near her Zhuangzi.

After all, there is a strong research atmosphere in Zhuangzi, and people are often injured. The school is opened there, partly because it can be practiced frequently, and partly because it hopes to inspire some people to use their brains to create some medical devices that are more convenient for treatment.

After the two locations were selected, they waited for the start of work after the ice melted in March before Minning wrote to each medical school to select some people to teach in Beijing.

On the ninth day of February, the emperor was going to tour the south, and the fourth master accompanied him. Minning took Yuanbao and did not follow. Instead, he waited for a few days and went directly to Jiangnan.

After all, at the beginning of the journey, the fourth master must follow the emperor to patrol the river works.

Last year, the Yellow River rushed to the embankment, so this year the emperor will naturally have to patrol around, because the schedule is too fast, and it is not suitable for women and children to accompany them.

Minning went to Jinling one step ahead of schedule, and this tour to the south was just a good time for her to inspect her property.

In the south of the Yangtze River, her industry has a larger proportion than that of the capital.

While Fourth Master followed the emperor around on the river, Minning could also come over and inspect her properties, which she had learned about in writing before, so she could also inspect them this time.

The properties purchased outside the capital are increasing all the time. There is a special team to handle this matter. These people will help Minning convert part of the funds into fixed properties. But after all, she did not see it with her own eyes, so she still needs to take a look. In case someone below fools her.

What else needs to be corrected can only be known by reading it yourself.

As soon as she arrived in Jinling, Minning lived in a local mansion. Almost every place where she has property has a residence.

Well, whether it is ancient or modern, houses have special meaning to Chinese people, a complex that belongs exclusively to Chinese people, there is a place to live and live, there is a home.

Not only is there a mansion in Jinling, but I heard that there is also a garden in Suzhou. It used to be abandoned, but it was bought later and transformed into a large garden. Part of it is open to the people, and the other part is used as an office. Haven't seen the real thing yet.

As soon as she arrived in Jinling, Minning only rested in the mansion for two days, and sent someone to guard Yuanbao. After that, she stopped to inspect the factory.

There were already people waiting in the factory, and Minning did not let these people disturb the workers beforehand, and then asked her to take her on a tour inside the factory.

After looking around, he said to the person in charge of the factory, "There is still a need for more preparations for fire prevention. There are a lot of wooden buildings here."

The person in charge replied, "When we go back to the owner's house, some of them have already been transformed into brick houses, but the exchange market is in urgent need of manpower, and some craftsmen have been transferred to Mongolia."

Minning thought for a while and said, "Didn't the cement be researched? Send someone to get the cement formula, and open a cement factory in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't use blue bricks, just use ordinary red bricks to burn them out." Qing Bricks and red bricks have similar materials and firing methods, but the red bricks save the step of watering, which not only saves a lot of money, but also burns out red bricks without cracking a part like youth.

Although the aesthetics at this time were blue bricks and blue tiles, it is also a unique beauty to build a red house entirely with red bricks.

The person in charge at Jinling took orders after hearing this.

After looking around, Minning felt that there was nothing wrong with the weaving factory as a whole, so he asked about the paper mill.

Recently, the paper mill is related to the banknotes used in the future new city, and has drawn several versions of banknote patterns for Minning.

Minning chose the pattern of the hundred-yuan banknote as a model of a new city in Mongolia, and the patterns of the other banknotes were also several famous mountains and rivers in the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor is still in power, she can't go too far, otherwise she will just choose the emperor's avatar.

It's a pity that the emperor must be taboo about this kind of thing, taboo to print his own face on banknotes that everyone can touch.

"The original paper mill was in Taicang. Later, I was afraid that it would be found out, so I moved the factory to a deep mountain. The printing place was set in the capital. After the paper was made, it would be shipped to the capital. After being printed in the capital, it would be printed again. It will be transported to Outer Mongolia by our caravan, and the banknotes will be stamped at the Bank of Outer Mongolia before use.” Stamping is also one of the anti-counterfeiting methods, and banknotes without stamps cannot be used even if they are taken out.

Minning nodded.

The paper mill has a lot to do with it, so it’s better to hide it, so as not to be found out that they have created the formula for the paper. Counterfeiting is too harmful for paper money.

After inspecting the factory, Minning went to the countryside to inspect the fields.

The grain in the fields is extremely important to her and Da Qing. With a high grain yield, she can also have the confidence to transform into an industrialized society.

In February, the Jiangnan generation had already started planting. After inspecting the fields and exempting some people from renting, Minning ran back to the city.

Although the temperature in Jiangnan is higher than that in the capital, the capital is dry and cold, and it is better to have kang and geothermal heat. When there is no kang in the south of the Yangtze River, I feel that it is colder than the capital.

Half of the time the ground is muddy, and Minning has basically never done anything dry in the fields these days.

She thought it was better to build the cement factory as soon as possible, and paving the road was a big deal. She already missed the convenience of cement roads leading to the countryside in her previous life.

By the way, Zheng Jun didn't know where he went with his fleet. Did he find America through the Bering Strait?

It is best to find the Amazon forest to get the rubber trees back. Without the rubber stems, many things will be more laborious.

For example, the pacifier on the previous baby bottle can only be replaced with lambskin because there is no rubber. Can the touch be compared with rubber?

There are also cans that use corks instead, and the storage time is also greatly reduced.

Riding a bicycle without air tires is much more strenuous. The most important thing is that the roads in this era are all loess roads. The loess is fine, and the sky is fine, but when it rains, it will be muddy. She urgently needs rubber shoes made of rubber.

The last time Fourth Master was working as a river worker, it took several years for his rotten feet to heal. I don't know if it will recur this time?

It's really inconvenient without rubber shoes.

After thinking for a while, Minning suddenly remembered another kind of glue native to China—Ecommia ulmoides and rubber grass.

No one has discovered the use of these two types. The reason why Minning thought of these two is that in her previous life, her school applied for national funding for research on how to replace natural rubber with these two types. Joining this research, she and several other roommates also popularized these two uses.

By the way, what did that schoolmaster roommate say?

It seems that Eucommia gum has to be extracted with oil or lye.

Wait, did she already get the alkali out?That's great, and solved a big problem.

Where is that rubber grass?Why can't I remember, forget it, let's not worry about this and study it later, first consider the matter of Eucommia gum.

Eucommia is a blind medicine, which can be found in me and a pharmacy.

But what she wants is eucommia gum, which can only be extracted by fresh branches and leaves.

If you spread this matter to Bozhou, someone in Bozhou will naturally speed up the research.However, within a month, Minning received two pairs of rubber shoes.

One pair is the fourth master's size, and the other is the emperor's size.

When the rubber shoes came into Minning's hands, it happened that the emperor's inspection came to Jinling, and Minning took Yuanbao to meet the fourth master, and they lived in Cao's house together.

For this famous Cao family, there must be no one in the future generations who knows about the Dream of Red Mansions.

At this time, the famous Duke Cao was not yet born, and he only saw the wealth of the Cao family every year.

However, she felt a little confused. In this world, there were not only the Cao family but also the big families of the Dream of the Red Chamber. She felt that the world of the Dream of the Red Chamber was embedded in the original history.

It seems that there are gods and Taoist monks in the Dream of the Red Chamber, so are there magical spells in this world?

While thinking wildly, fourth master led Minning to the backyard.

Today's Cao Mansion has given up their residence, so this courtyard is surrounded by imperial guards, and the Cao family lives in another courtyard.

Yuan Bao hadn't seen Ama for more than a month, and at this time he was hugging Fourth Master and couldn't stop acting coquettishly, "Ama, where have you been all these days? Yuan Bao has been looking for you but can't find you?"

Fourth master pulled his hand down and straightened her small body, "Sit down, let's talk."

Although the fourth master tried his best to keep a straight face, Yuan Bao didn't take Ama's cold face to heart at all, and still twisted his body and acted like a baby, "Ama, my mother is bad, she doesn't care about Yuanbao every day, and runs outside by herself." Play."

Minning was instructing people to pack their luggage, and when he heard him say this, he came over and poked his head with his fingers, "You heartless little thing, I forgot who took you out to eat delicious food before." is coming?"

Yuan Bao pouted and said nothing.

The fourth master glanced at Min Ning, who laughed dryly, "Don't listen to Yuan Bao's nonsense, I don't go out often. I just visit the factory in Jinling occasionally."

"By the way!" Minning seemed to be thinking of something, and went over a few maidservants to rummage through the package, "Master, these are the rubber shoes I made for you, after you put them on, you don't have to worry about getting your feet soaked in water anymore. "

Fourth Master took it, looked at the seamless rubber shoes, and asked, "What material are these made of?"

"It uses Eucommia glue, sir, you can try it. Next time, if you go to the river by yourself, you don't have to worry about your feet getting wet."

Fourth Master took off his shoes immediately, Minning saw that the skin between his toes was peeling, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch water.

"Yuanbao, can you go study with Sister Molan?" Minning wanted to send Yuanbao away again.

Mo Lan was the maid who was newly mentioned by Minning's side. It was the first time that Biying did not come with her. Minning promoted several other little girls to serve by her side, trying to get used to the days without Biying.

Mo Lan is a girl in the orphanage, who can read and write well. Minning sent people to the orphanage to recruit a few servant girls, and Mo Lan was one of them.

Moreover, Minning discovered that she has a special quality, her voice is pleasant, and Yuan Bao can listen carefully every time she reads a book.So he brought her to Yuan Bao's side to teach him how to read.

Yuan Bao glanced at Sister Mo Lan, then at E Niang, and opened his hand, "I want three cakes."

Minning angrily pressed his two fingers down again, "Okay, I'll get someone to prepare it for you later." This kid obviously knew how to count his fingers, but he refused to change it, no matter how many numbers he said, he would hold up a finger. hand.

Minning guessed that it was probably because he thought it was fun to keep doing this.

Fourth master watched the mother and son playing computer, and felt a little warm in his heart. He hoped that this atmosphere would last forever.

Finally, the Yuanbao was coaxed away, and the water was also brought.

Fourth master Minning put his feet in the water and splashed water on his ankles, his tone was full of rejoicing, "Fortunately, master's feet are not rotten this time, but the skin is peeling off."

After helping Fourth Master scald his feet, they turned red. Minning helped him dry his feet and applied medicine.

"Master, don't forget to apply the medicine these few days, or your feet will rot again when you get athlete's foot."

Fourth master snorted. "Okay, Lord knows."

Minning took out new woolen socks and put them on for him. Since woolen socks appeared in the capital, no one would wear the socks that needed to be tied to the feet. The fourth master naturally replaced them with woolen socks. .

However, the socks that Minning prepared had a pattern on them, a pony raising its hooves. This was her bad taste. Whoever had the zodiac sign in the family had a pattern of animals on the socks.

Fourth Master usually doesn't like to wear childish socks like this, he only wears pure white or pure black ones, but this time he was caught by Minning and forced to put them on.

He didn't say anything. After putting the wool coat on his feet, he immediately felt the warmth of his feet. After the feet were scalded, the blood vessels were opened, and the feet naturally warmed up.

Fourth Master put on the rubber shoes, got up and took two steps, and said, "It's a bit big."

Minning immediately said, "It's right to be big. I specially asked someone to make a size up. Lord, you take off your shoes."

As she spoke, she turned around to search through her luggage and found two sheepskin insoles.

Put the fine fleece side up into the rubber shoe, "Grandfather, try again, if it is still big, add another piece."

Fourth master stepped on it, there was sheepskin underneath, it was really warm and fit, not as empty as before.

"Do you still have such shoes? Don't forget to honor Khan Ama."

After hearing this, Minning turned around and took another pair, "How can I forget about the Long Live Lord? Didn't I ask the Lord about the size of the Long Live Lord last time? These are specially made for the Long Live Lord, and the insoles are already placed inside. "

After taking it, Fourth Master nodded in satisfaction, then stepped on his rubber shoes and asked, "Is there any more? Xiao Shisan's feet are also soaked."

Minning hurriedly answered, "Yes, but I don't know what size Brother Thirteen is? After I received the shoes, I ordered my men to make rubber shoes of other sizes as soon as possible, but it will take a few days to arrive later."

The fourth master thought for a while and replied: "I just want to stay in Jiangning for a while, Khan Ama has to get close to some people in Jiangnan's officialdom, I can wait for those shoes, and send them over as soon as they arrive. Ama is used to reward people."

Well, I really think about your father!

Minning complained in his heart, and replied: "Yes, I will make people more prepared."

Fourth Master looked at the sun again, "Okay, while it's still early, I'll go see Han Ama, you can rest here."

As he said, he was about to leave with the pair of rubber shoes for the emperor, but Minning held him back, "Master, where are Gege Niu and Gege Geng? Why didn't you see them?" Because Minning had a private matter to attend to, so He didn't come with fourth master, only two young princesses served fourth master.

This time it was said that the two should come together to greet Minning, but unexpectedly there was no movement now, and Minning knew something was wrong.

The fourth master patted his head and said, "I forgot, the schedule was too fast, these two Ge Ge were overworked, I left them in Zhoushan to recuperate, you send someone to pick them up."

Minning is sweating, how weak are these two people's sense of existence, can they be forgotten by Fourth Master?

The fourth master seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, this is the first time I summoned a man named Mei Wending in Zhoushan Khan Ama. Admire the foreign language numbers you advocate, and combine these numbers with the ancient calendar. Don't you always like to collect these weird people? You can send someone to contact them."

Mei Wending?

This is hailed by the world's history of science and technology as a world science giant on the same level as Newton. She forgot that this one was also active during the Kangxi period.

Minning was also a little saddened by this. So many great masters have been submerged in the torrent of history, and none of them is as respected as Newton.

Fortunately, she came to this era and worked hard to dig out these people. Although it is not official history, it is a comfort to her to be able to change the world.

Thinking of this, Minning strengthened her confidence that she must rely on her own efforts to speed up the transformation of this world.

Fourth master took his rubber shoes and went to present treasures to the emperor.

Minning immediately sent people to Zhoushan to do two things. One was to ask Mr. Mei if he had any idea of ​​opening a college to pass on his academic knowledge.

She can subsidize him to open an academy and let him start a school.

If not, then ask if you have the idea of ​​a book. This kind of expert has been studying Chinese and Western learning all his life, and the knowledge he understands is not comparable to that of Minning, and his thoughts are more in line with this era. easier to understand.

It's not like Minning who only finds someone to translate Western learning, and lets the people below learn by themselves, and they don't know if they have taken a detour.

The other is a side mission, which is to take over the two concubines of the fourth master.

Hey, it feels like Fujin was supposed to do this job, but now it's all hers?

After fourth master came back, the pair of rubber shoes in the morning were gone.

Seeing that he didn't look angry, Minning asked him where did the shoes go?

"Give it to Thirteen. Aren't his feet rotten? I don't need to go into the water for a few days, and my feet will be fine. Besides, didn't you say that new shoes will be delivered in a few days?"

Minning can't laugh or cry, the new rubber shoes will be delivered in a few days, but brother Thirteen doesn't need to go into the water these days, he can wait for the new shoes to arrive.

Come on, fourth master was completely immersed in the role of good brother, and Minning didn't interrupt him.

The emperor was very busy in Jiangning, and after three days of rest, he began to inspect the Jiangning garrison officers and soldiers, and the fourth master followed suit.

The rubber shoes were delivered quickly, and Minning sent someone to deliver them to the fourth master. After the fourth master got them, he gave each brother a pair.The rest were all given to the emperor, and the emperor gave them directly to the meritorious officials who built the river.

I heard that the scene was very touching, and the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but burst into tears at the end, lamenting the difficulty of repairing the river these years.

Minning originally thought that he would stay longer in Jiangning, but he didn't expect that the emperor would leave in just five days.

This time I went to worship the Ming Taizu Mausoleum.

Although the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, in fact it did not directly take over the country from the Ming Dynasty, but took it from Li Zicheng.

The emperor respected Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang very much, and he paid homage to Ming Taizu's mausoleum almost every time he toured the south.

After the worship, I left Jiangning on the same day. The schedule can be said to be very fast, and I will go to Jingkou to inspect the navy tomorrow.

Minning did not accompany him, but went directly to Yangzhou.

The emperor's next itinerary was in Yangzhou, not to mention the inspection of the navy, Minning was not suitable to be there, even if he followed, he would just stay in the backyard.

So she simply bypassed the Jingkou and went to Yangzhou first.

For Minning, Yangzhou is a revisit of an old place. Minning has never had any good memories of this place.

When she was a child, she couldn't wait to leave, but after she left, she almost fell into the realm of life and death. If the fourth master hadn't saved her, she probably couldn't bear the humiliation and returned to the underworld long ago.

Thinking of this, Minning couldn't help thinking of the first meeting with Fourth Master. At that time, she was still a malnourished little girl. Perhaps Fourth Master himself would not have thought that he and her would have such a relationship. She grabbed her and pulled her out of hell.

She also didn't expect that she would enter fourth master's backyard later. Originally, she just wanted to spend this life in a mediocre manner, without so much pride.

It's just that her status was different all of a sudden, and she didn't want to be ordinary anymore, and gradually earned such a huge fortune, changing thousands of people.

Minning enjoyed this change very much, as if his own hands pushed aside this ignorant world and brought civilization and hope to the world.

Since she couldn't go back, why not change the world to what she wanted.

An open, wealthy and harmonious society.
