Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Although he tried his best to remind himself, after Zhou Peigong entered Nanjing, he still acted like a bumpkin entering the city.

He didn't think it was his fault, but for him, there were too many novel things in Nanjing, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

For example, bicycles are still a novelty in Jingmen. Only a few rich and noble families own one, and most of them are used by young people as playthings.

But in Nanjing, bicycles can be seen everywhere.And the extremely smooth cement road and stone road make it very convenient to ride a bicycle.

There are also many four-wheeled carriages in Nanjing City, and they strictly follow the rules formulated by the Ministry of Communications, traveling in reverse on both sides.

In some places where the flow of vehicles and people gathers, there are even more traffic policemen directing them to avoid traffic jams.

He had also read about the traffic rules issued by the Ministry of Communications in the "Da Ming Pao", but he didn't take it seriously, because there was no need to use traffic rules in Jingmen.

Although there are quite a few horse-drawn carriages in Jingmen, they are still dominated by two-wheeled horse-drawn carriages, and the current official roads and city roads are spacious enough that there will be no traffic jams at all.

When he came to such an intersection where the flow of people and vehicles converged, Zhou Peigong felt a little guilty because he couldn't understand the command gestures of the traffic police.

Wang Jinbao was also dumbfounded, also unable to understand.

Fortunately, there are many people who have to cross the road with them, so the two of them just follow the others.

After crossing another intersection, Wang Jinbao wiped off his sweat and said, "Why do I feel that crossing a road in this city of Nanjing is more nervous than destroying the enemy on the battlefield?"

Zhou Peigong was also quite nervous just now, but now he pretended not to care and smiled and said: "It's our first time, once we get familiar with the traffic rules, we should be fine."

"There's a tea shop over there, let's go drink a bowl of tea, and inquire about the recruitment of officials by the vassal king." Wang Jinbao said, and walked to a tea shop on the side of the road.

There is also a large tea house nearby, and the signboard can be seen from a long distance.But the two of them didn't intend to go - although they didn't need money to go to teahouses and restaurants, but when they came back to a big city like Nanjing, they didn't know the place well, and they were afraid of being taken advantage of.

But this kind of roadside tea shop looks close to the people, which is more reassuring.

It is said that it is a roadside tea shop, but it is not open-air.

Ever since they entered Nanjing City, they hadn't seen the kind of shops randomly placed on the side of the road in county and state cities-there were some at the pier, but they hadn't seen them in the city.

Zhou Peigong, as an official of the state government, guessed that it should be due to the strict urban management of Nanjing, and roadside stalls are strictly prohibited in some places.

Therefore, the tea shop they entered was not a small house. There were large square tables that could seat four people, small square tables that could only accommodate two people, and compartments.

As soon as the two of them sat down, a young man came up to him and asked, "What tea do you two guests want to drink? Do you want refreshments?"

Both Zhou Peigong and Wang Jinbao were literate, and they didn't need a waiter to report the tea list. Looking at the wooden tea list hanging over the counter, they ordered a pot of ordinary green tea and ordered two refreshments.

When the waiter brought the tea and refreshments, Zhou Peigong took out a big coin (ten coins) as a tip and asked, "May I ask, where is the registration office for the officials of King Ding and King Yong?"

The clerk took the tip and said enthusiastically: "Ding Wang and Yong Wang have two registration points in the outer city, and they are together, and the nearest one is on the south bank of the Qinhuai River in front.

Go that way, if you still can't find it, just ask a passerby and you will know. "

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Is there anything else you want to ask, guest officer?" Because the tea shop is not busy at this time, the waiter collected the money and prepared to serve for a while.

Zhou Peigong thought for a while, and then asked: "I heard that there are many people who apply to work in the territories of King Ding and King Yong. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true," the guy said with joy when he talked about it, "Ding Wang and Yong Wang are the younger brothers of the Holy Son of Heaven, and I heard that they both invested 300 million yuan in Fan Sheng Tianzi.

With this money, it is conceivable how well prepared King Ding and King Yong are to go overseas.The territories of these two must also develop rapidly, and it is easy to make a fortune, so there are quite a lot of people going there.

But the number of people that the vassal king's immigration fleet can bring is limited, so the interviews are very strict. I heard that many people went to apply and were rejected. "

Speaking of this, the clerk noticed that Zhou Peigong and Wang Jinbao's faces were ugly, and realized that his words had increased the psychological burden on the two of them. He immediately added with a smile: "Of course, the two of you look good, and you must be able to apply for the job."

After the guy left, Wang Jinbao couldn't help but said: "Xiao Zhou, you think I won't be banned this time, right?"

In fact, Zhou Peigong was also worried that he would not be able to apply for the job, but at this time he had no choice but to comfort Wang Jinbao and said: "How could it be? Mr. Wang also participated in the Western War. No matter how many talents under King Ding and King Yong, there must be some The king takes the place of the general manager."

Wang Jinbao frowned and said, "If I don't get promoted in the vassal king's army, I might as well go back to the Hubei garrison and continue to grow fat."

When Zhou Peigong heard the words, he also sighed: "Compared with President Wang, I actually feel that my chances of applying are smaller. Similarly, if I am still just an official in the vassal state, I might as well stay in Jingmen."

Soon, the attention of the two was diverted.

Because a newspaper man delivered a stack of newspapers to the tea shop and yelled.

"Guest officials, come and buy newspapers and read it. Big news. The new king of Joseon, Li Wei, has submitted a petition to join me, Daming!"

what?
The guests in the tea shop all looked over when they heard the words, showing surprised expressions.

North Korea asked to surrender to Ming Dynasty?

real or fake?

After the reporter left, Wang Jinbao first ran to the counter to buy a copy of "Daming Pao", and came back to watch it with Zhou Peigong.

After watching it for a while, Wang Jinbao couldn't help but said with envy on his face: "This is not only a battle to destroy the Qing Dynasty, but also a battle to make North Korea surrender. It's a pity that I didn't participate. If I participated in it, I would at least have to be a third class." Gong, second-class merit!"

After reading the relevant reports, Zhou Peigong found that the court had agreed to Li Wei's request, and granted him the title of An Le Bo, and his mother, the former Korean Queen Mother Zhang, as Yipin's wife. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

But this kind of matter is more sensitive, and he has a more cautious personality, so he didn't discuss it casually.

On the contrary, people around are talking boldly——

"In this way, wouldn't my Great Ming expand its land for thousands of miles?"

"Isn't that right? Didn't you read the newspaper saying that after the military aircraft conference, Lelang Province was established in North Korea, and Heilongjiang Province was established in the former Nuer Gandu Division."

"The imperial court will add two more provinces, and many officials will be needed. This is a good thing for those college students who are waiting to become officials."

"I heard that Yarkand in the Western Regions seems to have the heart to submit to my Ming Dynasty. If so, the vast territory of my Ming Dynasty may not be inferior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?"

"It's no less than the Han and Tang Dynasties. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, I didn't control Nanyang and own the entire Greater Luzon Islands like I did in Ming Dynasty."

"···"

Second more.

Good night~
