I want to be a grandson

Chapter 461

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "Go ahead, choose a place nearby, plant lacquer trees, tung trees, and palm trees, and build a manor.

In addition, let Annan and other countries transport giant logs suitable for making large ships into Beijing, and all the remaining materials will be collected and stored for emergencies! "

"In addition, let excellent shipbuilders from all over the world come to Beijing and enter the Longjiang Shipyard. The materials needed will be drawn from the Ministry of Industry, and the money will go to the Ministry of Households!"

"Yes, the servant obeys!" Wang Zhong replied.

The supply of raw materials is a very critical part of making a sea-going ship. If one thing is missing, the rest of the links will be delayed.

Craftsmen are also essential, and now let them come to Beijing to participate in production and design, so that the process will be accelerated.

Zhu Yunxi understood this truth, "Ma He, you take the craftsmen to try to make one for the time being, and see if it can be successfully made and can withstand the waves for a long journey. If there is something missing, just say it, and the imperial court will definitely support it!"

Ma He was overjoyed, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness! With His Highness's trust, the sea-going ship will definitely be able to be successfully manufactured, and it will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "As long as this boat can be built well, your whole family will be exempted from slavery! All craftsmen will be promoted to a higher level and their salaries will be doubled!"

Ma He was very excited, "Bang bang!" He kowtowed three times, "Thank you, servant, Your Highness! Even if you risk your life, you will not lose His Highness's trust!"

For Daming at this time, as long as he is willing to spend a lot of effort on sailing, relying on Daming's manpower, material and financial resources, he can run rampant in the world!

And at sea, what a fortune will be the trade with the nations!
These moneys are gold mountains and silver treasuries placed there, waiting to be moved back by myself!
At that time, which small country would dare to grin at Daming?

A man once said a very famous saying that dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is within the range of the cannon!
Propagating benevolence, righteousness and morality, people have tenderness, can they establish friendship forever?
Renyi is a joke if it is not supported by guns!
If friendship is not guaranteed by force, how can it last long!

Therefore, strong sea power is what Zhu Yunxi yearns for, and he naturally supports it with all his strength!
At dusk, Zhu Yunxi had dinner in Chunhe Palace.

However, the one used today is a little different from the usual one. A copper pot was placed on the table, with silver powder charcoal burning under it, and Zhishui was tumbling in the pot, emitting white mist.

Zhu Yiwei sat on the side of the table and said: "You said you invited me to dinner, so it was a pottery, isn't it autumn and winter?"

Hot pot has a history of more than 3000 years. In ancient times, hot pot was called "antique", also known as "antique soup".

In the Ming Dynasty, it was called "the stove".

Yang Shen, a litterateur of the Ming Dynasty, accompanied his father Yang Tinghe to the banquet hosted by Emperor Hongzhi in the Imperial Garden when he was young.

At the banquet, there was a hotpot with hot-boiled mutton, and charcoal was burning in the fire. Emperor Hongzhi used this to get a first couplet. Yang Shen matched the second couplet, and his father read his son's couplet to the emperor. a cup.

So in the Ming Dynasty, hot pot was already eaten by the royal family.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and replied: "Sister, it's very delicious to eat a pot of mutton and drink a pot of iced sour plum soup in summer, and my... potty stove can be different from usual!"

"Oh, is there any difference?"

"It's useless to talk too much, my sister will know once she tries it!"

Under the service of the maid, Zhu Yiwei ate a mouthful of mutton, and immediately felt the spicy taste burning her tongue, she tasted it carefully, and said: "This taste...it doesn't taste like spicy ginger, nor like cornel, it doesn't have a spicy taste Son..., nor pepper and mustard..."

What kind of spicy is this? "

Zhu Yunxi said happily: "Sister, you can't eat it anymore, you can try it again, if you can guess the things in my palace, you can take whatever you want!"

"Then I won't be polite, this is what you said!"

Zhu Yunxi took a small bowl of mutton, and said to Zhao Mingzhu who was beside him: "You also help the princess taste it, whoever tastes it will be considered a winner!"

"Yes, thank you Your Highness!"

Zhao Mingzhu took it over happily, stood aside with the bowl in her hand, and began to sip, feeling very sweet in her heart.

Zhu Yunxi had already added chili peppers to the soup, and the spicy taste of chili peppers is different from the other types, and you can tell the difference as long as you carefully distinguish them.

But Zhu Yiwei has never eaten chili, so naturally she doesn't understand what it smells like.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eating in Jinshen Hall, also encountered the same problem.

"The spiciness seems to be a little different, where did it come from?"

Er Nie, the eunuch of the food supervisor, bowed to the side and replied: "If you go back to the emperor, His Highness specially ordered someone to send it here, just to let the emperor try something new.
This spicy taste comes from the chilies cultivated by His Highness. This year, a batch was harvested in Huangzhuang and sent to the palace. Your Highness is really filial... "

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction. He had heard about Zhu Yunxi's planting peppers for a long time, but he didn't take it to heart.

This is just a trivial matter, I don't know that he bothers.

But the filial piety of the emperor's grandson is commendable!

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his meal, he watched the hot pot still boiled by the heat wave, and a lot of complications arose in his heart...

He waved his hand to make the others retreat, leaving only Qingtong alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Qingtong, what happened to the East Palace recently?"

Qingtong lowered his head, bowed his body and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, everything in the East Palace is normal. Your Highness is diligent in government affairs every day. It's just that on the day of Jiangdu County Lord's visit and ceremony, I went there privately..."

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang understood what he had done in the past.

He couldn't help but sneered and said: "This bastard is really infatuated! There is no such thing as a woman in the palace, so why are you so stubborn! How stupid!
If this is known by others, it will definitely cause discussion, and maybe they will label him as an obsessed with beauty, and see what he will do when he becomes the emperor in the future! "

Qing Tong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Highness is very careful, no one finds out... Besides, this is nothing, it won't cause any discussion..."

He laughed again and said: "My lord, this is a good thing, Your Highness really has your demeanor..."

"You old bastard, you are getting more and more good at flattering! Actually, he can learn our demeanor? You have to wait a few years!"

Qingtong's words made Zhu Yuanzhang think of Empress Ma again, and the scene of the two of them being happy and comfortable together, so they became very happy.

This is tantamount to praising Empress Ma in a disguised form. People are prone to nostalgia when they are old, and Zhu Yuanzhang is not exempt.

But after being happy, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little sad again.

After all, that person is not around, leaving me to grow old, it always makes people feel lonely...

"Prepare for the next two days. We're going to meet the queen... just in private, and there's nothing wrong with it."

"Yes, the servant obeyed..."

Zhu Yuanzhang took another look at the hot pot that Zhu Yunxie sent, and secretly sighed in his heart, "How about those beautiful girls?"

Qingtong replied cautiously: "My lord, after several rounds of screening, the palace has already selected three, but I just don't know who to choose as the concubine..."

"These three were selected according to the list we gave you, right?"

"My lord, what's wrong?" Qingtong asked in a low voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, did not explain, but sighed and said: "Forget it, since he is very assertive, there is no need for us to worry about him! Maybe people think we are meddling in his marriage. !
This matter is up to him, he can choose whoever he wants, choose the one he likes, and save him from restlessness! "

Qingtong hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious. Your Highness entrusted the important matter of concubine selection to His Highness. This is to follow your elder's idea, hehehe...you see how good this is..."

Zhu Yuanzhang finished nagging, and ordered, "Tomorrow Chen Di will be announced into the palace, let him handle this matter, and go to Wei Guogong's mansion to ask for his name!"

The so-called "adoption" means that the man invites a matchmaker to the woman's home to propose marriage. According to ancient rituals, before accepting the offer, the man has to invite the matchmaker to the woman's home to find out the news, and the offer can only be made after the woman's family agrees.

"Ask name" means that the matchmaker asks the woman's name, age and "horoscope".

After taking it back, use divination and fortune-telling to see if the horoscopes of the man and the woman are incompatible with each other, and whether there are other places that are not suitable for a husband and wife.

Although it was two steps, but since I went to the house, I must have passed the gas in advance, and both parties agreed to the marriage, so I came to visit.

Otherwise, if you come to the door recklessly, you will be suspected of being forced to marry, and you will definitely not be happy if the two parties get married in the end.

Besides, I don't feel good about myself...

And when both parties agree, in many cases, the name asking is done at one time, so they are often put together.

Qingtong said in surprise: "Your Highness, you are giving this to His Highness... Your Highness must be delighted for being so considerate! I will definitely thank His Highness!"

"Hmph! We need him to thank you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it these days, and finally decided to follow Zhu Yunxi's wishes and satisfy his wishes.

He already knew about the prince he chose and the girl from the Xu family, so he naturally understood the relationship between the two of them.

Although it's not the kind of life and death, unforgettable, but they also have a good impression of each other, and there is love in their hearts.

But having said that, if you really want to love to the death, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried instead!

To be an emperor, one is not afraid of being exposed to rain and dew, being sentimental, let alone being ruthless!
I'm afraid of devotion!

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that with Zhu Yunxi's personality, even if he obeyed his will now, he would recruit her into the palace sooner or later.
Once he felt guilty, he would give her a compensatory love, and the harem might not be safe at that time.

So it's better to just follow his wish and avoid trouble.

And even if Xu Miaojin is made a concubine, Zhu Yuanzhang believes that his grandson can grasp the fire!
