Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 112: Double the Surprise (Subscription Request)
Wherever Zhu Zhanjun's thoughts reached, the river was densely populated with various freshwater fish and shrimps, and more of them were strange fish with four legs.

Some of them are swimming in the water, and some are lying on the bottom of the river, opening and closing their mouths as if they are sucking something.

Zhu Zhanjun concentrated his mind and was able to sense clearly what the fish absorbed.

In an instant, ecstasy surged in my heart.

These strange fish with four legs actually sucked in dirt and mud from the river water.

With a summon of spiritual power, the four-legged monster fish that had been nearby swam over and lay in Zhu Zhanjun's hands.

In an instant, a thought flooded into Zhu Zhanjun's mind, introducing the situation of this fish.

After a while, Zhu Zhanjun showed ecstasy on his face, but he carefully put the fish back into the water.

"What's going on?"

Old Zhu knew that Zhu Zhanjun, as the master, could sense the information of any creature in the space.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanjun had an unconcealable ecstasy on his face after catching the fish, my heart instantly rose to my throat, and I hurried forward to ask in a low voice.

Others also came over and looked at Zhu Zhanjun expectantly.

Zhu Zhanjun took a deep breath and brought a few people to the river bank. Looking at the broad river, he said slowly:

"This fish has a nice name, Cloud Fairy, which means that it can filter the water in the sky like clouds and leave clean rainwater for the human world."

"In addition, there is a special secretion in its body that can solidify the dirty mud it absorbs."

"Perhaps it is the nature of the species. They are used to piling up the vomited dirt on both sides of the river bank to prevent it from affecting their continued feeding at the bottom of the water."

"hiss."

"Dad, why are you pinching me?"

Zhu Biao rubbed his thigh desperately, looking speechlessly at Old Zhu who had a look of ecstasy on his face.

“Hahaha…it hurts. It looks like this isn’t a dream. Fengyang can be saved.”

Old Zhu jumped up excitedly, without even taking off his clothes, and jumped directly into the water. Relying on his amazing swimming skills, he grabbed a cloud fairy and started kissing her madly.

Queen Ma looked at this with disdain, but she was also very happy in her heart.

She could understand her husband's feelings.

In the past, every time there was a flood in Fengyang, her husband would be so worried that he couldn’t sleep or eat for days, and he kept thinking of various ways to solve the flood problem.

But after so many years, the court has invested countless amounts of money, but the problem has not been improved.

A few days ago, I learned that Fengyang was flooded again, and even half of the wall of Zhongdu was submerged. Old Zhu was so anxious that he didn't sleep for several days and worked non-stop, trying to do something.

Fairy Yun may not be able to solve the flood problem in a short period of time, but as long as the number increases, after a dozen or dozens of years, the number of incidents of the two rivers bursting their banks will become less and less.

With this kind of fish, the river bank will be very strong.

The mud and sand brought down from upstream will also be swallowed by the Cloud Fairy and replenished on both sides of the shore.

As long as the imperial court cooperates in governance in the future, the flood problem will be completely solved sooner or later.

Looking at Old Zhu who was hugging and kissing Fairy Yun in the water, Zhu Zhanjun lay on the hard river bank, looked at the bright full moon in the sky, and laughed out loud.

Zhu Zhanjun did not have a very suitable solution to the flood in Fengyang.

He has ordered research on cement, but it has not been successful so far.

In fact, even if the research is successful, the results may not be as good as expected.

Now with Fairy Yun, and with the cooperation and governance of the imperial court, Zhu Zhanjun firmly believes that the flood problem will be completely solved during his lifetime.

Having solved a big problem, several people were very happy. They built a bonfire directly at the estuary, grilled seafood, listened to the sound of the waves and talked about the future.

…………

As the New Year is approaching, people who have been busy for a year take out their family savings and go to the streets with their whole family.

It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not, you still have to celebrate the New Year.

The Chinese people attach great importance to the Chinese New Year. In their minds, as long as they have a good year, the next year will surely be smooth.

The happiest people are the children.

Because only during the Chinese New Year can they wear new clothes and eat white steamed buns and rice that they can only dream of on other days.

Of course, if there is meat.

Slip!

Some of the little guys couldn't help swallowing.

This is true for both poor and rich families.

Before daybreak, the streets were already bustling with people.

Young and old walked together. Even the girls who rarely went out on weekdays wore veils and walked out today, accompanied by their family members and brothers.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..." The sound of gongs and firecrackers suddenly rang out, attracting the attention of shoppers on the street.

Everyone looked curiously and saw a lively lion and dragon dance and firecrackers being set off in front of a huge door.

What is the greatest heritage of the Yanhuang people?
It's undoubtedly just for fun.

A curious crowd gathered around, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks, wanting to see what kind of store it was.

"My fellow villagers, I would like to wish you all a happy new year."

A young man dressed in butler's clothes walked to the platform in the middle. After the sound of firecrackers stopped, he smiled and bowed to everyone around him.

"Today is the official opening day of our Veteran Chamber of Commerce. We have all kinds of goods in our shop, including salt, sugar, tea, spices, fruits and vegetables, and even gold and silver jewelry."

"Today is the opening day. Anyone who purchases more than 100 coins in the store will have a chance to win a prize."

"Clap clap clap..."

As the young butler said this, he clapped his hands, and a group of men came out carrying a lot of things.

The young butler pointed at what the men were holding and said loudly to the people around him, "There are no empty prizes in our shop."

When he came to a man, the young butler took out a red block about one finger wide and one finger long from the tray in the man's hand.

"See, everyone? This is a small piece of brown candy. It weighs one or two taels. This is the smallest reward."

"Oh my god, spending a hundred coins to get a piece of candy is quite a bargain."

"That's right. If we can get one, it will be very impressive when we visit relatives during the New Year."

"That's true, but a hundred coins is not a small amount of money."

"You are so stubborn. They didn't say you have to pay 100 coins to win the lottery. You have to buy something worth 100 coins to get a chance to win the lottery."

"Well, it seems true."

There was a discussion below, and many people were very excited and planned to buy something to draw a prize later.

Anyway, I don’t have time, so a piece of candy is already a good deal.

It costs a lot of money to buy more than one or two ounces of brown sugar.

After introducing brown sugar, the young butler introduced rewards of other grades.

There are silver hairpins, four treasures of the study, whole pigs and sheep, as well as chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, duck eggs and so on.

The most attractive one is the ordinary No. 1 prize, a top-quality scalper.

Cows are great helpers in farming.

The better ones cost 30 to 40 taels, and the inferior ones cost to taels.

Looking at the sturdy oxen tied next to the platform, many people's eyes lit up, because these were all top-quality sturdy oxen.

In fact, let alone ordinary people, even some wealthy people are envious of these lottery rewards.

"Everyone, next are the top three rewards."

After the people in the audience calmed down for a while, the young butler clapped his hands, and three young girls came out carrying trays.

Instantly, everyone's eyes lit up.

Of course, they were not attracted by the girl, but by what she was holding in her hands.

The three girls were carrying trays containing silver, gold and a model of a small courtyard.

The young butler stood next to the first girl, pointed at the silver on her tray and said loudly: "Those who win the third prize will receive 100 taels of silver. There are only three places available."

Then he walked to the girl on the right and pointed to a gold bar on it and said, "The person who wins the second prize will get fifty taels of gold. There are only two places available."

Pointing to the small courtyard held by the girl in the middle, he said loudly to the people below: "This first prize is a large house next to Xuanwu Lake, worth ten thousand taels of silver."

"Boom!"

Instantly there was an uproar below, and everyone was extremely excited.

"Oh my god, one hundred taels of silver, fifty taels of gold, and a big house. If I can get one of them, I won't have to worry about finding a wife. I can even get both."

"You're dreaming. These are all mine. I'm always lucky. I'll definitely get them."

"Haha, that's nonsense. Just take out the hundred coins and buy something first."

Seeing that the atmosphere was already set, the young butler struck the gong vigorously.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The outside of my store is just a facade. The real shopping is in the yard. After it opens, please don't crowd and enter in an orderly manner. You can ask the staff next to the stalls to buy things, and they will introduce them to you one by one."

After briefly introducing the purchase rules, the young butler said seriously to the people below: "After entering, no crowding, no noise, no stealing, no destruction of any items. If anyone disobeys."

Pointing to a group of people nearby, he said, "They will be more than happy to take you away and let you spend the New Year inside."

Everyone looked at it and instantly gasped.

They saw dozens of Jinyiwei personnel and officials from Yingtian Prefecture sitting at a row of tables at the entrance of the shop, looking at them with smiles.
