Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 159

The last official task of the day was that Zhu Yuan personally wrote a plan for finding or artificially building guano islands, briefly described the many benefits of this project, and handed it over to his subordinates to carry it out tomorrow. He left Will continue to follow up.

I met Liu Laoqi again.

The old man who is always grateful for this encounter this year persisted in kowtowing to Zhu Yuan. Speaking of tomorrow, there will be wind, which will not be too strong, but it will not be the north wind either.

You can go north.

As the old man spoke, he reluctantly got up again, and said frankly that he wished that tomorrow would be the north wind, and it would be nice to stay with the young adult for another day.

Zhu Yuan just laughed and said that the future will be long.

In fact, even if the north wind is not too strong tomorrow, Zhu Yuan plans to set off, so he still has to hurry.

After confirming from the old man, Zhu Yuan called Zhao Xu and He Xuan, so that they could start preparations tonight, and send those who should leave to board the boat early, so as not to be late tomorrow morning.

Hua Gao personally came to invite.

Said it was a farewell party for Zhu Yuan, it was next door.

I rushed there happily, but I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people, and everyone who should come or not should come.

Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Zhu Yuan did not restrain himself very much. He still drank a few more glasses of sweet fruit wine with a low alcohol concentration. It was still Hua Gao who was watching from the sidelines, shouted to stop in time, and brought Zhu Yuan to a place in the inner courtyard. In the Flower Hall.

He called two women over.

It was Hua Gao's two concubines who were pregnant around the same time a few days ago, Gu Shi and Chen Shi.

It's been less than two months, so it's hard to say that they are pregnant, the two said words of gratitude, insisted and kowtowed to Zhu Yuan.

Ugh.

Just grab it and give it to the two little guys.

After sending the two women away, Hua Gao took out a booklet: "Hanlin, I have something to tell you..."

Zhu Yuan took the brochure, and the cover was "Scientific Parenting Handbook", but it was obviously not the previous manuscript, but the printed version.

Published a book?
"Isn't it... Hearing about my old Hua, someone came to inquire about it, so I lent the book out for people to look at. It didn't come to fruition... Those bastards, without your permission, engraved it Come out," Hua Gao said with some anger in his embarrassment, "Hanlin, if you say a word, I will let him take back as much as he has engraved, and burn it all."

"No need," Zhu Yuan shook his head, continued flipping through the book in his hand, and smiled again: "I don't really want to sign it, you know, I'm only young, and I don't have children. It feels weird to teach others 'scientific parenting'."

Seeing that Zhu Yuan didn't mind, Hua Gao relaxed a bit, and laughed along with him: "You are a strange person, so there must be strange things happening."

Turning to the end soon, seeing a few pages of 'illustrations', Zhu Yuan shook his head again: "This is the picture...it's too rough, it affects the interest."

"Hey, I asked him to change it every time," Hua Gao poked his head and glanced at his eyes, said something, but then said, "Furthermore, this is a serious book that teaches people to pass incense, so it shouldn't be too fancy, it's really tricky. Become a erotic palace."

After a few gossips, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a while, it was Zhu Yuan who spoke first: "My lord, it's good to be safe and secure. In your inner house, remember, raise children scientifically, don't make such a mess like you used to, children can't stand the trouble."

Hua Gao nodded like pecking rice again: "I save it, save it."

Zhu Yuan added: "It's the same for the Navy."

Hua Gao followed suit and nodded: "When the cadre comes back, I will hand over all the navy to him, and I will be a wooden clay sculpture and concentrate on raising my son."

"That's not good either."

Hua Gao seemed to have no idea at all, and said cheerfully: "Whatever you want to do, just write to me..." Then he added: "...Don't come here again, look at you for half a year, suffer .”

I can't tell about this matter.

try your best.

After some more words, the sky was completely dark, the two left the flower hall, Zhu Yuan went outside again to bid farewell to everyone, and then returned to the next door.

The strength of those glasses of fruit wine rose, and with a bit of drowsiness, he leaned on his shoulders and returned to the inner house, and entered the house.

The women came over with hot water and waited for Zhu Yuan to wash up. Xieyi said another thing: "In the evening, Rich Lord Shen sent some women over, sir, do you want to choose?"

Shen Mao.

The third child of Shen Wansan's family had said a few words in the next door before, but he didn't mention this.

Ok.

That first word is still short of a 'didi'.

It needs to be completed.

Holding a cup of tea, Zhu Yuan leaned on the bed in the bedroom and nodded: "Bring me here and let me have a look."

Soon a group came.

The bedroom here is already very spacious, but it is still crowded.

Apparently for the purpose of distinguishing, different women wear different kinds of clothes of their own clan. After a glance, Zhu Yuan recognized some from the Gaoli family, some from the Dongwa family, and a few more... The clothes are too simple, two pieces The fabric was wrapped up and down, revealing various sections of Bai Shengsheng, and it looked like it should come from the countries of Southeast Asia.

Furthermore, Xiyi Hu girls who can be distinguished without looking at their clothes are generally fair-skinned, with high noses and deep eyes, and they seem to have been selected for their size.

as well as……

Some more.

Shaking and shaking, Zhu Yuan couldn't count, and asked the handwriting beside him: "How many are these?"

Write down: "16."

It seems that there should be Fu Shou in the Shen family, and they have met before, and they are quite concerned about this trivial matter, just like... a few of them are obviously familiar, but they still have good looks.

Weakness.

Thinking about this, Zhu Yuan felt that he would not choose, and signaled: "You are all Didi."

When it is a surname.

You can distinguish them by adding a prefix to the original name.

This group, some who understood and some who didn't, realized that a certain young boy was talking about them, and bowed their heads to salute.

After giving the order, let Xieyi take him down.

I don't have time tonight.

Turning to the blank space, he gestured to the desk next to him: "The last day, let's have a beginning and an end."

Liu Bai had just gathered a bunch of weird little snacks for his little officials, but he said: "Your little officials have drank, why don't you just take a break and make up for it tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow and tomorrow... well, I want to be right now."

Luo Shui, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, chuckled lightly.

Liu Bai glared at Luo Shui, then walked to the table and took out a pen and paper.

Zhu Yuan sorted out his thoughts a little bit, and according to what he did today, he said some thoughts about personnel, finance and other aspects to Yinghai Division.

Ok.

and also……

Therefore, I intend to make a good job report on the way back.

For Lao Zhu, but also for myself.

It's not for taking credit, what you did, you have to figure it out.

In addition, it is mainly a link between the past and the future.

Although he volunteered to come to Mingzhou in a daze after crossing a big hurdle, he still cared about whether it was his hard work after working hard for more than half a year.

Zhu Yuan hopes that everything here can go on better.

Also, the navy.

Zhu Yuan's expectations are actually greater, but don't be in a hurry, the future will be long.

If my other ideas about farming can be implemented smoothly, in two or three years, or at most three to five years, there will be improvement in the north, and the demand for grain in the south will not be so high.

At that time, the navy will also be able to free up its hands.

A very divergent diary, different from the first time on the ship when I came here. There are too many things to do, and it is difficult to concentrate. Fortunately, the main thread has always been clear.

All of these are for the purpose of 'increasing production and promoting distribution'.

Economics!

After finishing writing the diary, Zhu Yuan took a rest. It was still a little early today, and it was the beginning of Xu, less than eight o'clock.

Inside the mansion of the Yinghai Envoy.

Only Zhu Yuan was able to rest, and watched his little official fall asleep, leaving Qingniang and two maids to guard together, and Xieyi continued to be busy with tomorrow's departure.

Speaking of which, the main thing that can be cleaned up is people.

Before I knew it, there were a lot more than when I came here.Not only the various vases collected by his own petty officials, but also other servants such as Fu Shou and Shen Mao who continued to quietly send them over.

Of course, it’s not for nothing here, it’s all based on the market price.

No shortage of money.

According to the habits of her family's petty officials, Xieyi made a special list, those of the girls in the inner house, the servants in the inner house, the girls in the outer courtyard, the servants in the outer courtyard, and a group of women and servants. In addition, the beautiful vases that adults fancy, and The recent Fanniang Hunv are also listed separately.

Except for the six who are often around their petty officials.

I think they are always special.

The little official agreed.

All in all, counting the family members of the servants who wished to go with them to Jinling, there were all kinds of servants, and there were more than three hundred.

I don't think there are too many freehand brushwork.

Back then...the Wang family in Yizhou had thousands of them.

Xie Yi felt that her petty officials were much better than the Wang family who were ignorant of current affairs.

Apart from these servants, Xieyi also pays attention to others.

The other one was nearly five hundred soldiers led by Zhao Xu.

Only five hundred left.

It was two thousand at first.

Thinking about it, Xie Yi also blamed her petty officials for letting them out, and even cited the disaster that happened to Chen Ning back then.

When Xieyi heard the news, she felt like her soul was going to fly.

Furthermore, Chen Ning...hasn't been caught until now. If he didn't stick to his duty as a daughter in the inner house, he would have wanted to remind him, and even reprimanded the person responsible for it. It's been so long. what?

Then there are others.

Those coin minters, mirror grinders, glass burners, and so on, there are also some people who want to bring relatives and relatives, the total number is more than two thousand.

And the boatman.

In addition to the 5000-fee big boat that the small officials of the family wanted to take, the Yinghai Division and the Navy Governor's Mansion also gave out ten other big ships that were all [-]-[-]-fee, but the boatman cost [-].

Xieyi knows that her petty officials don't like publicity, but how can such a team of 6000 or [-] people not be public?It's just that my petty official has done so much for this Mingzhou...even for this Daming, so what if I make a show of it?
I think it should be more ostentatious.

Have a clear conscience.

After such a sleepless night, at five o'clock the next day, when it was still dark and the gates of the city had been opened, Xieyi began to send people and things to the pier outside the east city.

Until daylight.

In the inner house, Qing Niang and Luo Shui started to prepare breakfast for their little officials as usual.

Going to bed early last night, Zhu Yuan also got up earlier.

Chenzheng, at eight o'clock, has already sat in the dining room. Compared with the big and small women around him, Zhu Yuan has been used to traveling far and wide in his previous life, and he doesn't have too many disturbances in his heart.

However, Xieyi thought that there would be troubles with her petty officials, so she took the initiative to talk about the matter, as if she wanted to divert Zhu Yuan's attention to dilute the parting feelings of her petty officials.

After talking about the preparations for the return trip, I thought about it and brought up another one: "Little official, what should I do with the house in Mingzhou?"

Zhu Yuan took a small bite of a piece of seafood meat roll, and raised his head when he heard the words: "This side is not ours at all, so return it to the officials and use it for other purposes."

Anyway, I don't really want to come back.

Although, there is a high probability that I will come back again.

we'll talk about it then.

But Xieyi shook her head: "It's all from our family." Seeing her little official was puzzled, Xieyi took the initiative to explain: "The slave and the little official said that they couldn't live here, and they needed to add more accommodation. At that time...we bought it together. Now, in Dinghai City, counting this side, there are a total of three sets of houses, big and small, all of which have been paid according to the market price."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Think about it, Dinghai will become more and more important in the future, and the value of real estate will also rise.

Ok……

bah bah bah.

I have traveled through time, and I still think about real estate speculation, and I am seriously ill.

Laughing at himself, Zhu Yuan didn't care, and said: "Then just arrange for people to watch it, and it can't be left alone."

Freehand agree.

After talking about breakfast, because of the state of his family's petty officials, the surrounding group of daughters relaxed a lot.

In order to avoid being watched and pointed out like when they came here, most of the girls in the house had already been sent to the boat before dawn, and only Zhu Yuan and his party and the guards led by Zhao Xu left here after dinner.

Huagao came to see it off in person.

Riding behind Zhu Yuan's sedan chair, he looks like a guard.

And a knife.

When Zhu Yuan came here, he wanted a Shangfang sword. The pragmatist old Zhu gave him a simple knife, which he personally wore back then, and he had cut people before.

They don't want to show off, but they are still a very ostentatious team.

It was already the beginning of Sishi when we arrived at the pier outside the East City. Not surprisingly, people came here again after hearing the news, much more than when Zhu Yuan arrived in Mingzhou.

In addition, there are officials from all over Mingzhou and rich gentry from all over the country who I met at the farewell party yesterday.

Although there are Manmins, there is no Manmin Umbrella.

This little thought flashed by, and Zhu Yuan just smiled, not expecting it at all.

Standing near the gangway leading to the big ship, and saying goodbye to Hua Gao at the end, Zhu Yuan did not turn around, but waved to Zhao Xu, who was holding the old Zhu Peidao, and took the heavy steel knife.

Pulling out the simple knife and handing the scabbard to Zhao Xu, Zhu Yuan showed it to everyone, and said loudly: "I remember that when I came here, I told everyone more than once that my ancestors gave me this saber to cut people. The knife came out without blood, so it would be unlucky to go back."

After saying this, the expressions of the people around were more or less strange.

This……

Although they didn't dare to ignore it, because Zhu Yuan never used it, many people really forgot the existence of this knife.

Zhu Yuan also continued: "The truth is, it's time to go now, and I'm actually very relieved that there is no blood. I have watched the contributions of the soldiers and civilians of Mingzhou in the past half a year, and there is no dissatisfaction. The last thing I want to say is that the situation in Mingzhou has not come easily, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard."

Everyone around said yes.

Zhu Yuan suddenly smiled again, and turned to say: "Since it is unlucky not to be stained with blood, let me do it, I hope there will be no next time, or, if there is, I will do it..."

Having said that, before the people around him could react, Zhu Yuan put the palm of his left hand on the blade and wiped it lightly.

There was amazement all around.

Zhu Yuan raised his bleeding palm to the crowd, the delicate palm of the young man who had not yet grown up was shocking.Raise your voice again: "Gentlemen, encourage each other!"

Silent!
