Daming heir

It was already afternoon when Zhu Yunxi arrived at Shanglinyuan Prison.

In Yingtian City, there has been a full discussion about the three daughters of Song Liuhong becoming officials.

People focus the main reasons on themselves.

then.

When Zhu Yunxi appeared at the door of Shanglinyuan Prison.

It immediately attracted the attention of the Shanglinyuan prison officials.

It's just that these people were obviously full of curiosity, but they resisted not coming forward to ask. They were busy with their work and bowed to Zhu Yunxi who walked into the Yamen from a distance.

Such a scene naturally made Zhu Yunxi feel a little funny.

He nodded calmly to the officials of Shanglinyuan Prison. He saw that these guys were obviously full of curiosity, but they were too embarrassed to come forward to ask him. In the end, they could only show their rich gossipy expressions.

When he walked all the way through the official office of Shanglinyuan Prison and arrived in front of the study room that belonged to Yuan Sutai, the crowd around him became much smaller.

The two young guards of Shanglinyuan were already old men in the yamen.

He was very familiar with Zhu Yunxi's arrival.

The reason why Shanglinyuan Supervisor has made such a big change is that he has deep political power above the court. Even though they are busy with things in the fields all day long, there is absolutely no one above the court. Dare to look down on the Shanglinyuan Supervisor Yamen.

It can be said.

It was completely due to the Emperor Taisun in front of me.

"Your Highness is here."

The two officers stepped forward in no particular order, with smiles on their faces and attentive gestures.

"His Highness has not been here for quite some time and we have not come to the Linyuan Prison. I heard from the people in the Book Hall that we have come up with a lot of good things in the past few days in the Linyuan Prison. I wonder if His Highness knows about it?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "I'm busy. I finally have some free time now. Isn't Gu coming over now?"

It was as if the two sides were chatting at home.

The smiles on the officers' faces became even more exciting.

"Does Your Highness want to have dinner at Shanglin Garden Prison today? If so, please go to the kitchen and let us know now."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and nodded: "Let them make another bowl of mutton soup and ask for the mutton sent from Daqingshan. If I eat it from other places, I will ask the young master to punish them." !”

The two guards laughed and shook their heads.

"Young men, please go and notify us now. We will warm up a pot of Shaoxing rice wine for His Highness and the Young Master later depending on the time. Then we will ask the farmers in the Yamen to pick some wild vegetables from the fields."

Zhu Yunxi nodded one by one.

Seeing that the servants were going to the kitchen, he walked to the door of the study.

Bang bang bang.

Zhu Yunxi reached out and knocked on the study door.

There were inquiries coming from inside.

Seeing no movement outside.

A few moments later, He Shu, a young Shangliyuan Supervisor official, opened the door in the study and looked outside.

"Your Highness?"

For officials in other ministries and yamen above the court, they may not see Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's grandson, for a long time, but for officials in Shanglinyuan Prison, seeing the emperor's grandson is a common thing. .

Anyone who asks His Majesty the Emperor Taisun to come to Shanglinyuan Prison will come to him if he has nothing to do.

Every time I come here, I stay here for a long time, and many times I even have a meal at Shanglinyuan Prison before leaving.

Sometimes, it’s not for anything, maybe it’s just to come to Shanglinyuan Prison for a meal.

At that time, a few people didn't quite understand why.

But later, when Zhu Yunxi and Yuan Sutai were having dinner in Shanglinyuan Prison, someone asked them on the spot.

Then finally I got an answer.

According to the emperor's grandson, eating at Shanglin Yuanjian from time to time can make a lot of difference. Perhaps in just one meal, we can know whether there will be new species in the Ming Dynasty that can be served on the dining table.

This is a very important thing for people in the world.

This is also the reason why a yamen in Shanglinyuan can have a kitchen and canteen that far exceeds the specifications.

Zhu Yunxi was impressed by this young Shanglinyuan Supervisor official with a very lofty nickname. He pondered for a moment with a smile on his face and then said: "Heshu is also here with the Young Master."

A trace of surprise flashed across He Shu's face, and he quickly bowed and stepped aside: "Your Highness, please come in, the young master is in the room."

While the two were talking, Yuan Sutai's voice could already be heard from the study room.

Zhu Yunxi quickly stepped forward.

Sure enough, he saw that Yuan Sutai had stood up from his seat at this time, arrived at the desk, and was about to salute himself.

He immediately stepped forward and reached out with a displeased expression to grab Yuan Sutai's arms before he could bend down.

"How many times have I told you that you don't need to be so polite when you are always in front of me. Besides, I no longer have the authority to supervise the country, and I can't deserve your great gift."

This old man is obviously a Ming Dynasty or auspicious person, but he still looks completely unaware of it.

God knows how many people in both the government and the public hope that this person can live longer.

This is the purest wish.

Not mixed with any slightest benefit.

No matter who it is, who doesn't hope that Yuan Sutai, the contemporary Shennong, can live longer.

Even if he can't come up with anything to greatly increase grain production, it will be a blessing to the entire Ming Dynasty if he can teach a few more good apprentices with the experience he has in his head.

If the imperial court were to conduct a selection now, which yamen would be the most popular?

That must be the supervisor of Shanglinyuan.

If one day, Yuan Sutai, a young master, suddenly burst into the cabinet and cursed at the cabinet ministers, people would only think that the cabinet ministers had done something wrong to incur the curse from this old man. , instead of thinking that Yuan Sutai has gone crazy.

Yuan Sutai, with a smile on his face, shook his head one after another: "Your Highness, whether he is still in prison or not, is still the king. Even if I have made great contributions, this gift cannot be abolished."

Zhu Yunxi naturally couldn't let this old man salute him.

He took the old man to the tea table and helped him sit firmly on the chair, and then he settled down.

He sat at the main seat of the tea table minding his own business and began to work with the tea set on the table.

Yuan Sutai smiled as he watched Zhu Yunxi busy in front of him.

Zhu Yunxi, while busy, said: "I happened to be free today, and I was hungry for the food from the young master's side, so I came here to beat the young master's autumn wind. I heard that a few years ago, the young master's family came from Shaoxing. I got a few jars of old daughter's red wine over there, I wonder if I can have this good taste today?"

Those jars of daughter's red wine were a New Year's gift from Hangzhou Prefecture to Yuan Sutai.

In fact, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as giving and receiving bribes.

but. This is Young Master Yuan Sutai.

Even if someone gave him a gold mountain, the court would only think that it was appropriate.

Now, whether it is the local government or the court, when sending specialties to Yuan Sutai, they must report to the Jinyiwei in advance before sending them over. There will be no risks or hidden dangers in the whole process.

Of course, what was delivered were also local specialties.

A real specialty.

Yuan Sutai smiled and looked at the Heshu coming from behind, and pointed: "Did you hear what His Highness said? The old man has not opened the altar, and His Highness has already smelled it. Please don't prepare rice wine in the kitchen. Today Just open a jar of daughter's wine, and your boy will come over later to have a few drinks with His Highness."

He Shu was so happy.

It's not that I'm happy to have dinner with the emperor's grandson, but I've been coveting the jars of daughter's red wine sent by Hangzhou Mansion for several days, and today I can finally take advantage of it and have a few sips.

He happily ran out and arranged things.

Yuan Sutai looked at Zhu Yunxi who had already started making tea: "The Hangzhou government hopes that Shangliyuan Supervisor can plan a few experimental fields for them this year. He said that he does not ask for a penny of funding from the court, as long as their people can watch us. The young man from Shanglinyuan Supervisor is there to guide the farming and learn some experience. So, just a few years ago, someone sent a few jars of daughter red."

This is the reason.

Yuan Sutai finally explained this matter clearly.

Zhu Yunxi naturally had no objection.

"Since the snow disaster in the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhejiang Road has been pretty good. It's really commendable that Hangzhou Prefecture has such thoughts."

Yuan Sutai hummed, nodded and said: "Zhejiang Province is financially sound, but the people are still suffering a lot. After so many years, it is not easy to feed so many people with seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland.

Shanglinyuan Supervisor had originally intended to see if a new farming model could be implemented on Zhejiang Road. The Hangzhou Prefecture had heard the news, so they came over to check on the news with the help of these jars of wine. "

This is still explaining.

It was Superintendent Shanglin Yuan who first had a plan to conduct experiments locally, and then the Hangzhou Prefecture heard the news and came to deliver some special products.

Zhu Yunxi still smiled and poured a cup of tea for himself and the old man.

"You can keep the wine with peace of mind and just drink it on weekdays. If I don't come here today, will you always bury those jars of wine in the ground?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the old man with a smile.

Yuan Sutai saw that his thoughts were seen through, but at his age, he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

He just nodded and said: "It's better to let His Highness know. The court must abide by the rules when running up and down. Everyone sees that the old ministers are more considerate and caring, but the old ministers cannot rely on their old age to do what the court wants. Infinite."

Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea.

The tea produced by Shanglin Yuanjian is all grown on the mountain.

There is also a large tea factory down there. Every year, it can grow and sell tea, which brings a lot of funds to the yamen, and by the way, it takes care of many nearby people.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "You don't have to have so many worries now. Who in the government and the public doesn't know that you have always been a great Ming Shennong. Even though you have been a young master for many years, the children in your family still pay equal attention to farming and education. I heard that there are many children in the family, because Are you so busy farming that you missed the scientific examination?"

"There will be scientific research next year, but the land cannot be left unused. If it is left unused for a year, there will be a lot of food failure." Yuan Sutai's face was calm, as if he was talking about a very common thing:

"The imperial court has now opened the metric system examination. The old minister feels that it is better for the children at home to learn more real skills before entering the officialdom. Otherwise, how can they be ordinary people if they don't even know when to plant things in the fields? Parents official?

If they really didn't have this ability, the old minister would rather they all work on the farm at home and less often serve as officials. In the end, because of their stupidity, the people under his rule delayed farming and people's livelihood. "

Zhu Yunxi felt a little sad at this time.

He sighed: "That's why I said, in our Ming Dynasty, you, sir, are setting an example. If other people could think like you, I don't know how much trouble the court would be spared."

Yuan Sutai smiled and looked at the young man in front of him.

He asked in a low voice: "Your Highness came here today probably not because of the jars of wine that I had."

At this moment.

He Shu, who had just gone out, had already rushed back with two chefs.

The people in the kitchen each carried a large food box in their hands.

He Shu led the people in.

They set it up on the empty table nearby.

"Your Highness, today the kitchen is all about stir-frying over high heat. There are also a few side dishes to go with wine that have been prepared earlier."

"You and the young master will eat first, and a jar of wine will be opened."

"There is also a mutton soup, a mutton stew, and a steamed bacon dish at the back. When it's ready, Wei Chen will bring it over."

While he was talking, Heshu had already laid out the food and wine on the table himself.

Even those big dishes haven't been served yet, but at this time there are already seven or eight dishes on the table.

Zhu Yunxi took one look, then stood up and walked to Yuan Sutai.

"Young Master, would you like to invite me first?"

Yuan Sutai stood up with a smile, now less restrained, and allowed Zhu Yunxi to help him to the dining table.

Seeing that both of them were seated, He Shu poured wine for them.

After getting everything done, he took the people out.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi finally had the opportunity to tell his true purpose of coming today.

He first raised his wine glass: "Young Master, I dedicate this glass of wine to you. If it weren't for the hard work of the people you brought to Linyuan Prison over the years, there would be no increase in grain production in the Ming Dynasty. This merit will always be remembered by the Ming Dynasty. "

Yuan Sutai's brows became slightly serious.

But he still raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The salary of the emperor is eaten by the emperor. What I have done is to repay the emperor's kindness and to support the common people."

Zhu Yunxi hummed, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

The wine aroma of aged Ner Hong is hidden.

One bite.

There is no burning sensation, but it slowly evaporates and spreads in the stomach.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi took advantage of pouring wine for Yuan Sutai and said: "You may also know that today the imperial court appointed Wuxi Song Liuhong and other three women as officials. This is what I think, the three of them must really do things.

It can't really be thought that it was because of some relationship or appearance that he got this court official. Just because she is a woman, people in the world cannot think that the Ming Dynasty is disrupting order.

So the kid is thinking, can one of the three of them be allowed to work in Shanglinyuan Prison?

There is no need to participate in the current affairs, just develop a complete textile industry. From the very beginning of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, to spinning and weaving finished products, this set becomes a system. No matter what, it can always serve as a systematic model for the future. "

Yuan Sutai fell silent.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi who was pouring wine for him in front of him, he didn't speak for a long time.

Just when Zhu Yunxi thought that this old and young teacher also had objections to the appointment of female officials by the imperial court.

Yuan Sutai laughed.

"Just for this matter?"
