Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 229

With the advent of glass and the steam-powered loom, two giant companies were created, the Royal Industries and the Royal Bureau of Weavings.

Even in Stone Town, you can see the direct sales stores of Royal Industries and the direct sales and wholesale sales points of Royal Weaving Bureau. Of course, you can also see other stores with glass as the main component, and there are exclusive glass containers such as cup Bowls, etc., there are also high-end works of art that can only be used for flower arrangement.

The branded ready-to-wear stores run by the Weaving Bureau itself and other merchants also began to appear in Nanjing City.

Walking on this rather bustling street, it was the first time that Zhu Youxiao felt that he had brought such a big change to Daming's urban commerce. Now even in Liudu Stone City, he can see his shadow of the butterfly effect.

However, what makes Zhu Youxiao frown is that even in a metropolis like Liangjing, many poor people can be seen. In this rainy weather, many people are still barefoot, and some corners and corners I could see a few skinny civilians cowering and shivering. Needless to say, the clothes had patches, which was fine, but many holes in the back of the buttocks were not repaired.

But in stark contrast to them are those dandy teenagers straddling the streets on horseback, holding folding fans, each of them has a face like a powder, and is dressed in brocade clothes. Today is not the early Ming Dynasty, and the imperial regulations are no longer in effect. Wandering around in splendid robes, some wealthy businessmen who didn't even have square scarves even wore purple robes to make calculations in the store without any scruples, and sometimes even his servants did the same.

Someone in the restaurant threw the whole duck down after saying "it's unpalatable", while some begging children in the restaurant fainted from starvation because they couldn't get enough food. When the duck hit him on the head, Before he could react, more than a dozen people suddenly rushed out of the corners on both sides to snatch the discarded duck.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao had nothing to say for a while, but Li Mingrui, Wang Chengen, Wu Jin and others who followed behind him lowered their heads unknowingly. They never spent money in a luxurious restaurant. Even Li Mingrui once tasted good wine at a banquet, but it was too weak.

"Woo, woo!" At this time, there was a sudden cry of a child behind him. Zhu Youxiao turned around and saw a few strong men running towards this side, and a strong man in the middle was standing beside his shoulder. There is something tied up with a cloth bag, and it can be heard that it should contain a child.

Each of these strong men held a half-foot-long sharp knife and yelled fiercely at the passers-by in front of them: "Get out of the way!" Although the passers-by knew that these people were trying to rob children, they did not dare to confront these strong men.

Zhu Youxiao didn't walk away, and several plainclothes Dongchang fans hurriedly stood in front of Zhu Youxiao and others.

When these strong men saw Zhu Youxiao blocking the front, they immediately shouted and cursed: "Get out of my way, believe it or not, I stabbed you!"

As he said that, a big man with a black face stabbed Dongchang Fanzi with a knife. Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said: "Try to solve it with bare hands, don't expose your identity."

"Yes!" Dongchang fanzi responded, grabbed the black-faced man's wrist holding the knife, bent the big man's wrist between lightning and flint, and then kicked it out again. The waist flew backwards as if being hit hard, and the strong men behind him hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be smashed to the ground with knives.

"Rescue that child", Zhu Youxiao said, and Wu Jin leaped away in person, his legs were like sticks and swept towards the strong man holding the child, and a moiré white-soled boot was like a heavy slap Usually hit the big man's shoulder, and the strong man's shoulder suddenly cracked, obviously broken by Wu Jin's kick.

And before the child fell to the ground, Wu Jin had already caught him at some point, and appeared in front of Zhu Youxiao as a silhouette, and when he removed the cloth bag, he saw a pink and chubby child wearing a suit The sky-scented little clothes fell on the ground, and a pair of sparkling eyes stared at Zhu Youxiao for a long while speechless.

If it weren't for the teardrops hanging from the corners of his eyes, he wouldn't have guessed that the child had cried before. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help squatting down and touching the fluffy little face: "Little friend, whose family are you from?"

kid?Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention for a while, and the accompanying people and the child were stunned when he uttered such a modern vocabulary, but the child suddenly giggled playfully at Zhu Youxiao, showing two rows of small deciduous teeth, He is not afraid of the iron-blooded emperor in front of him who has executed countless people.

Zhu Youxiao felt that he was about to be lovable by this child, and couldn't help but hugged the child. At this time, the strong men did not dare to approach because they tried to see the strength of the previous Dongchang fans. A harsh word, say something that even our Sharon Gang dared to provoke, and then withdrew.

But these people from the salon gang didn't leave for a long time, two women ran in front of them, one was wearing a light pink Chinese dress, covered with white gauze, with a little powder on it, like a lotus emerging from water, and looked very anxious, with a mouth He kept shouting "Chang'er", and the person behind him was wearing a light yellow pleated skirt and a green cardigan. He looked like a maid, and he was also sweating profusely from running.

But when Zhu Youxiao saw the two women, his face showed surprise, not only Zhu Youxiao, but also Wang Chengen and Wu Jin.

And when the woman walked in, she saw her little niece standing in front of Zhu Youxiao, she didn't even look at who Zhu Youxiao was, she just passed through the encirclement of Dongchang fanzi standing in front at an extraordinary speed, He came directly to Zhu Youxiao, pushed Zhu Youxiao away, picked up his little niece and ran back.

But at this time, the Dongchang Fanzi who had come to his senses had already blocked him, and the woman turned around and ran towards Zhu Youxiao in a panic, but bumped into Zhu Youxiao who had taken a step forward. A pair of fragrant and soft things happened to be squeezed on the palm of Zhu Youjiao's hand that was about to hold her.

"Bold, dare to be so reckless when you see me." To avoid embarrassment, Zhu Youxiao pretended to be serious and asked with a cold face.

The woman naturally slapped her, but the child suddenly screamed, and then consciously buried her head in the woman's chest, not daring to see Zhu Youxiao being beaten, but the two But his eyes secretly aimed at Zhu Youxiao here.

However, just when the woman's slap was about to touch Zhu Youxiao's face, she stopped suddenly, and her head suddenly felt like five thunderbolts. Feeling cheap and shy, her mood can be described as mixed, but she still knelt down: "Min...Minnv has seen Your Majesty."

As she said that, the woman hurriedly made her little niece kneel down too: "Hurry up, kowtow!"
