Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 138 138: Simulating Zhu Xiaye’s life, a child with a violent personality!

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he glanced at Zhu Biao in surprise, and then chuckled.

He naturally understood what Zhu Biao meant. In fact, building cement roads is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Not only the cement road from Hanzhong to Yingtianfu needs to be built, but the cement road to Beipingfu also needs to be built!

To be precise, all roads in Daming will be gradually replaced by cement roads in the future!

At least all official roads must be paved with cement!

First, cement roads can improve the efficiency of cargo transportation, promote the circulation of goods, and make commerce more prosperous!

Secondly, it also greatly shortens the travel distance, which is also more conducive to military needs. Whether it is transporting grain and grass supplies or the imperial army, the efficiency will be at least two or three times higher than before!

For example, it will take at least more than a month to escort grain and grass from Yingtian Mansion to Beiping!

But with cement roads and rubber tires, this time can even be shortened to about ten days!

If it was just a quick march of light cavalry, it would take even a few days to get from Yingtian to Peking, which was at least twice as early as the original time of at least ten days!

Even if ordinary infantry march on two legs, compared with the smooth cement road and the bumpy dirt road, the efficiency improvement is not even a little bit!

There is also a third benefit, which is more conducive to the imperial court's control over the entire Ming Dynasty!

The efficiency of travel has improved, and the government's decrees will be conveyed to local governments more quickly, which will also be more conducive to the court's local rule. The efficiency of information transmission has improved, and news is no longer as blocked as before!

Zhu Biao has already realized these benefits, but Zhu Yuanzhang understands them more clearly than he does!

"You are right, this is indeed a good thing. No matter what the fourth child thinks, the cement road will always be built!"

"You directly reply to the fourth child and say that the cement road can be repaired, but we have to wait until all the cement roads from Hanzhong to Yingtianfu are repaired, and we have to do it slowly one by one, otherwise no matter how much money the Ministry of Revenue has, it will not be able to afford the Ming Dynasty. Money for building roads in various places at the same time!”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then gave instructions directly to Zhu Biao.

Although he knew that the fourth child, Zhu Di, was not innocent, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take it seriously. As a father, he had to be relatively fair at least on the surface!

He believed that Lao Jiu could finally deal with Lao Si, so naturally this evil man did not need Zhu Yuanzhang to do it!

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang knows that with Lao Jiu's methods, he can't really do anything to these vassal brothers, and no fratricide will really happen!

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang simply ran away from the problem and just played the role of a father!

"Okay, let's reply to the fourth child later!"

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, obviously not expecting that the old man would relent on this matter so easily!

Originally, he was worried that the old man would take this opportunity and beat the fourth child again!

As a result, it will inevitably affect the father-son relationship between the old man and the fourth child, but now it seems that he may be overthinking it!

"It seems that you have full confidence in Lao Jiu, dad?"

Soon, Zhu Biao figured out the key.

The reason why the old man relented was probably because he was sure that Lao Jiu would be able to control Lao Si. Otherwise, according to his character, he decided to give the throne to Lao Jiu and would never give Lao Si any undue thoughts!

"That boy deserves it!"

"Today's Lao Jiu, even me, who is my father, can't see through it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and nodded.

To be precise, in terms of ability, Lao Jiu directly compares to his father!

This is no longer a matter of confidence, but Lao Jiu has that absolute strength!

He is already invincible just by relying on his inheritance of eight miracles. Not to mention his sons and grandsons, even if he plays on his own, he is not enough to beat Laojiu!

This is very annoying, but I have to accept it!

When Zhu Biao heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Indeed, one has to be convinced by Lao Jiu’s ability!

At least he, the eldest brother, is convinced!

"Drink tea. Let me personally pour a cup of tea for you, the prince. I have learned some arty things these days. How about you trying the tea we brewed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly handed a cup of tea to Zhu Biao at this time, using the set of cups that Zhu Yue had given him before!

"Better than Erchen's!"

After Zhu Biao drank the tea brewed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he gave the old man a rainbow fart!

If you want to say what is good about it, it would be too false to boast about it. Anyway, it is just better than your own son!

"That's natural. You will always be your father!"

"But you still have to use this tea set made by Lao Jiu to get the feeling of brewing!"

"This thing is really good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly.

"Not to mention, Er Chen has always used the tea set given by Lao Jiu last time to make tea in the East Palace. It tastes better than other tea sets!"

Zhu Biao nodded with approval and smiled.

"Did you know that tea sets like this have recently fetched a sky-high price in Hanzhong?"

"We originally thought that with Laojiu having such good technology, he would mass-produce to make money, but we didn't expect that Hanzhong would only produce five sets every month, and the one with the highest price would get it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned at this time that Zhu Yue auctioned these tea sets in Hanzhong!

"It is true that Lao Jiu is better at this aspect. As the eldest brother, we are ashamed of ourselves!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he nodded with deep understanding.

Zhu Biao naturally has a clear mind. Isn't it the principle that rare things are valuable?

No matter how good something is, once it becomes trashy, its value will quickly decrease!

Especially when everyone can buy one set, it will definitely be a bargain!

Moreover, ordinary people only use tea sets to drink water, and they don’t need such fancy high-end gadgets!

Such a product was originally intended for use by the rich and powerful, so the price would naturally not be low, and the quantity would become even rarer!

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Have the marriage arrangements for the two children been arranged?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

"Well, the date has been set. It's the 13th day of the first lunar month. It's an auspicious day for getting married!"

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded.

This time, he wanted to marry the two brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi at the same time. It would be done all at once, so they would not come one by one!

"Okay, after these two children get married, we should prepare for the Western Tour!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said.

To be precise, he was going to the northwest after Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi became vassal!

Inland vassal kings want to join the vassal, especially in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River. There is no need to make any preparations. After the vassal king gets married, he can just go directly to join the vassal! Unlike places like border fortresses and important towns, we also have to consider the ability of the vassal king and whether he can defend it and so on!

"Counting the time, Thirteen will go to Datong after the Chinese New Year!"

"This kid didn't contact the third or fourth child during this period, but he contacted the ninth child immediately!"

"She should be preparing for him to become a vassal!"

At this time, Zhu Biao also smiled and mentioned the fact that the acting king Zhu Gui was about to become a vassal.

"Hmph, this kid is a thief. He knows who among his brothers is the one who should have a good relationship with him!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was not surprised at all!

In fact, it’s more than just Lao Shisan?

Of all the vassal kings now, which one has not tried every means to establish a good relationship with Lao Jiu?

Although the fiefdoms of the third brother Zhu Fan and the fourth brother Zhu Di are not far from Datong, the help these two brothers can give to the thirteenth brother together is not as much as that of the ninth brother. How can I choose Zhu Gui? !

This is Lao Jiu’s influence among all the vassal kings now!

This was established by his strength!

"The next one should be the turn of the Fourteenth..., we are just thinking, do we really want the Fourteenth to conquer Gansu?"

At this time, Zhu Biao mentioned the matter of King Su Zhu Mei again.

"We will decide on the matter of the Fourteenth after we arrive in Hanzhong!"

"Let's make it clear to Lao Jiu. Whether Lao Fourteen goes to the northwest to join the vassal state or not, it actually doesn't matter. Lao Jiu won't be so petty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand disapprovingly.

The signal he released was obvious enough. Lao Jiu shouldn't think that he, the father, wants to reduce his military power, right?

What's more, we are about to go to Hanzhong. If there is any misunderstanding, just clarify it in person!

"Okay, let's go back to the East Palace first. You should go back and rest early. Although there is briquettes, it is still too cold outside!"

Zhu Biao chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang for a few more words, then stood up and left directly!

As soon as Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer interested in drinking tea alone, and went directly back to Fengtian Palace.

In the evening, after finishing his work, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his palace early because tonight, he decided to activate Zhu Xiaye's simulator!

In fact, among Zhu Yue's sons, Zhu Yuanzhang is most curious about Zhu Xiaye's life!

In previous simulators, Zhu Xiaye's presence was not very high, and there were too few details to introduce him!

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very curious about this grandson's life!

Now even if we take turns in order, it should be the turn of the fourth child, Zhu Xiye!

Lying on the dragon bed, Zhu Yuanzhang directly opened the national luck and auspiciousness, and focused on Zhu Xiaye's options!

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very optimistic about Zhu Xiye!

After all, this guy is the founding emperor of the Western Ming Dynasty!

From this point of view, he is not much worse than Zhu Xia Xian and Zhu Xia Feng!

"Xiangrui, please help us activate Zhu Xiaye's simulator directly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and spoke directly to the auspicious national destiny.

[After deducting the host’s 538 points of national luck, Zhu Xiaye’s simulator is being activated...]

As the auspicious words of national luck fell, the familiar feeling struck again, and Zhu Yuanzhang soon entered a dream!

[Duration of this deduction: 6 hours! 】

[The deduction officially begins! 】

Soon, the hazy dream scene gradually became clear in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes!

[You were born on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month in the 24th year of Hongwu in Hanzhong Mansion. Your father is Zhu Yue, king of Han Dynasty, known as the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, and your mother is Li, the daughter of Li Xin, the Minister of Civil Affairs! 】

[Although you are only a concubine, your status is still extremely noble, because your imperial grandfather is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Not long after you were born, he was personally named the county king! 】

kindness?

Was Zhu Xiye born on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month?

It’s New Year’s Eve after giving birth!

If you put it this way, when I tour the West in the next year, I will be able to see this little grandson who was just born!

Sure enough, some details of his presence in Hanzhong Mansion appeared in the dream scene, not only for Zhu Xieye, but also for the prince Zhu Xieqiu, Lao Jiu's other sons were also made county kings by him!

"Xiangrui, why are there details about our trip to Hanzhong this time?"

"We have always decided to go to Hanzhong before. Why didn't we see this detail in the previous deduction of Zhu Xiaqiu's life?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

[Because the host announced to the world that the Western Tour will be a done deal, and the Western Tour has been put on the agenda, there will basically be no changes, so the simulator automatically made detailed corrections, and there is no need to upgrade! 】

Guoyun Xiangrui slowly explained.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly showed a look of surprise!

Although I had decided to go to Hanzhong before, I had not put it on the agenda or determined the specific time, so the simulator still followed the original historical process!

This time there were such detailed changes in the simulator, which also showed that my western tour should be stable and there would be no changes!

And looking at the picture, I and Lao Jiu's family are also happy. It seems that the results of my western tour are good!

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more relieved!

[From the time you can remember, maybe it’s because you are withdrawn and have little contact with your brothers. At the same time, you have a very irritable temperament and have been educated by your mother with sticks all year round! 】

kindness?

Has this child been so violent since he was a child?

However, after Zhu Xieye became wiser, he seemed to be no longer in Hanzhong Mansion. He should have returned from Hanzhong a long time ago, right?

such a pity!

This deduction is from Zhu Xiaye's perspective. There don't seem to be many details in the scene where he appears, let alone what exactly he and Lao Jiu talked about. It's completely unknown!

Anyway, you will know after you go to Hanzhong!

Although he felt a little pity, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly adjusted his mentality!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised that Zhu Xiaye had such a bad personality and couldn't get along with his brothers!

[The servants in the palace are also afraid of you and dare not come into contact with you! Maybe your father saw something was wrong with you and sent you directly to the Taoist temple, where you stayed for several years! 】

[In the past few years, you have lived a life like an ordinary person. You still need to carry water, chop firewood, and do various chores. However, you live with the most respected Taoist priest around your father, and your mother will often do it. Come to see you! 】

Unexpectedly, Lao Jiu actually sent Zhu Xiaye to the Taoist temple!

It should be that he wants to polish this kid's temperament!

And this Yan Nangui, I have seen it more than once in the simulator. From the looks of it, Lao Jiu seems to want Zhu Xiaye to worship Yan Nangui as his master!
