I want to be a grandson

Chapter 182

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Nonsense, people can really live to be 65 years old, that's just wishful thinking, let's not have that dream... Well, we are [-] this year, really old..."

Qingtong said: "The emperor is in good health and full of energy, he doesn't look old at all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gradually blurred figure in the distance, with a warm smile on his face again.

It is a relief to have a successor!

As the other party in the competition for the position of grandson, Zhu Yunqi can almost conclude that he will fail.

So he sat in the public room of the Ministry of Rites and didn't make a sound for a long time.

A sense of loss filled Zhu Yunqi's heart, he couldn't figure it out, it was supposed to be his own, why did the emperor give it to someone else!

He really couldn't figure out where he lost!
Isn't it just a small rebellion, what is there to brag about!
Zhu Yunqi's heart was full of dissatisfaction. In terms of talent, character, dignity, and etiquette, he was no better than him in any way!
Why did Grandpa Huang do this!

I have always been favored!

Zhu Yunqi was very confused. Since Zhu Yuanzhang was so optimistic about Zhu Yunxi, why did he let himself manage the Ministry of Rites? Why did he still pray and chant sutras for Queen Ma...

Is it...

When Zhu Yunwen looked at the four monks at the door of the public house, there was no prudence and awe in his eyes.

"Your Highness..." Chen Xin asked worriedly from the side.

Zhu Yunwen moved his stiff neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, what do you have to report..."

Chen Xin said hesitantly: "If Your Highness is not feeling well, why don't you take a rest first..."

Zhu Yunqi moved a bit because he had not been moving, resulting in stiff legs: "You don't have to worry, the important thing now is to start a course to obtain a scholar. There must be no mistakes in this matter..."

Because he knows that the support and support of scholars is his last hope!
As long as he can do Enke well this time, Zhu Yunqi believes that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't announce the candidate for his grandson, there must be hope!
So Zhu Yunwen immediately put himself into the imperial examination.

Just like a drowning person, even if it is an insignificant straw, even if the hope is slim, he will hold on tightly!
……

After Zhu Yuanzhang was established, the ban on the army not being able to drink alcohol was lifted.

And as more land was cultivated and planted, the production of food increased greatly.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang broke the wine monopoly of the Yuan Dynasty, and did not have too many restrictions on folk wine making.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty not only banned alcohol, but also adopted a series of policies and measures to stimulate the revitalization of the wine shop industry, which also made the Ming Dynasty's winemaking industry develop vigorously.

The most intuitive manifestation is that Zhu Yuanzhang set up sixteen official restaurants in Yingtianfu in the 27th year of Hongwu.

"In the 27th year of Hongwu, on the basis of peace in the sea, and thinking of having fun with the people, the Ministry of Industry was ordered to build ten restaurants outside the Jiangdong Gate, with names such as Heming, Zuixian, Acura, Drum Belly, Laibin, and Retranslation. It was added to five. Building, everything will be completed. The civil and military officials are ordered to have a banquet in the Zuixian Tower. The fifth floor is dedicated to drinking wine and singing prostitutes, imitating the stories of the Song Dynasty..."

The people who come here to feast and drink are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, or merchants from all over the world. Naturally, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Therefore, since the Hongwu Dynasty, drinking has been prevalent in all walks of life.

Treating guests with wine has also become the way of hospitality for ordinary people, and sometimes they often drink even when there are no guests. Therefore, there is a saying that "the poor are burdened, their wives are more beautiful, and they must drink at night".

There are also many wine shops in the market.

Literate people practice drinking orders, while ordinary people use finger-playing games.

A piece of news has been circulating in the capital these days.

That is the official of the Department of Commerce and Trade of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who wrote a letter requesting that the fine wine exclusively for His Majesty the emperor be opened to the common people for sale.

As soon as they heard the news, the common people were envious!

That's royal wine!

It is the wine drunk by His Majesty the Emperor!
How many people can drink royal wine?

Even if you don't get the imperial gift from the emperor, but you can drink the court wine, that is a supreme blessing!
Therefore, in the teahouses and restaurants in the capital, many drinkers are also talking about it.

"I heard that a senior official wrote a letter to sell the wine that the emperor drank..."

"I've heard about it too... I don't know if His Majesty will agree, it's for the imperial court."

"I can't say for sure. Your Majesty loves the people so much, maybe he will really enjoy the people..."

"What do you think of the royal wine?"

"Absolutely the best in the world! Think about it, that is the wine that His Majesty drinks, it must be the best!"

"If this is sold publicly, how much will it cost? I'm afraid the price is not cheap..."

"Of course it won't be cheap! I drank a jug of good wine before, and it cost five silver coins. The shopkeeper said that a lot of wine can be brewed to produce a little good wine. If the production is too small, the price will definitely be high!"

"There are definitely not many wines for imperial use, no matter how high the price is, it's still worth it!"

"Looks like I have to save money..."

"Extremely! Otherwise, you won't be able to buy it when it's on sale!"

At this time, a drinker ran in excitedly and shouted happily: "Everyone understands? Your Majesty has granted it!"

Someone didn't respond, and quickly asked, "What's right?"

As a drinker, he proudly said loudly: "Naturally, His Majesty the Emperor has allowed the royal wine to be sold publicly!..."

"Really! Your Majesty really granted it!"

"You won't lie! Can such a good thing happen to us?!"

The drinker said excitedly: "What are you lying to! The Department of Commerce has posted a notice! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself! Oh...we can taste the royal wine!"

As soon as these words came out, the drinkers stood up one after another and were about to go out.

While walking, he said: "Let's go! Let's take a look too! Your Majesty is really gracious?"

It's no wonder that the drinkers can't believe it easily, you must know that this is a big deal!

At least for alcoholics who love to drink, there is nothing bigger than this!
But for ordinary people, is there anything more important than enjoying the things that the emperor uses?
……

At this time, in the household department, many noble military generals who were familiar with Zhu Yunxi also came to visit.

The six ministries of the imperial court and the governor's mansion of the five armies face each other, and it is just across the thousand-step corridor, so it is very convenient to come and go.

After saluting, Zhu Yunxi also very politely asked them to sit down.

Everyone was more polite to Zhu Yunxi, and respected him three points more than before.

After all, his status is different now, not only the emperor's grandson of Daming, but also the noble king of Wu!

In the minds of everyone, Zhu Yunxi will soon be established as the grandson, and will be the emperor in the future.

Then they will all become Zhu Yunxi's courtiers, so their words and deeds will no longer be the same as before.
