Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 149 Little Things in the Capital
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Empress Ma took the basket: "Qing Ru, you should give it away and give it away. Everyone lives in the palace, and they only go out once a month, and they bring back so many things about the common people. I have to listen carefully."

Zhou Qingru glanced at Lao Zhu and nodded obediently.

Lao Zhu glanced at her, reached into the vegetable basket and dialed: "Tell me, what's going on this time."

Zhou Qingru nodded: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a Niangniang Temple on the outskirts of Nanjing, and only unmarried women can join the religion."

"What's the matter, are you only accepting those who are not married?"

Empress Ma put down her work, pulled Lao Zhu over and said, "Chongba, come here and I'll make a tally with you."

"Qingru said that there is someone who can pinch and count in the Niangniang Temple, who is very magical..." Empress Ma told Lao Zhu the situation.

Old Zhu asked puzzledly, "Why do we sound so evil? Empress Huang Xian or Empress Bai Xian, so godlike? Can she be more godlike than us!"

As soon as Li Shanchang and the others arrived at the door, they heard Lao Zhu's voice coming from inside.

Presumably, His Majesty has something to worry about that has not been resolved. Since His Royal Highness went to the north, he can only go to them every time he has something to do.

"Your Majesty!" Li Shanchang cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Empress Empress."

"Prime Minister Li, it's just in time for you to come." Old Zhu sat down on the chair and said, "We heard that there is a Niangniang temple outside this city, which only accepts women who have not left the court, and you can still count on it. You have to do it yourself. Go check it out, so as not to fool the people."

"Yes, rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best." Li Shanchang affirmed.

Gao Qi glanced at Lu Chang, and Lu Chang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness's Daming Weekly will often have some scientific explanations. If the matter of the Empress Temple is allowed to develop, it will definitely have an impact on the Academy of Science and Technology."

The common people always like to believe in things related to the heavens, and regard the destiny, the son of heaven, and the gift of heaven as gods and inviolable.

If this or other Niangniang Temple holds the call and banner of the sky, it will become more and more difficult to deal with after a long time.

Gao Qidao: "Your Majesty, rumors can be self-defeating. The best way is to publicize them in the Daming Weekly, which is the best."

"I think it makes sense." Song Lian began to speak again.

"Ah, Song Lian, didn't we tell you not to come, and make good preparations for recommending talents?"

Lao Zhu is still thinking about recommending talents.

Wang Guangyang said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a minister who is good."

"Tell me." Old Zhu waved his hand.

"There is a man named Xia Yuanji. He is from Xiangyin, Changsha Prefecture, and his ancestral home is Dexing, Jiangxi. This Xia Yuanji lost his father in his early years, but he is very smart. He is a child praised by everyone in the village."

"I'm still a child. I lost my father so early. It's very pitiful." Empress Ma said regretfully.

"Leave this matter to Gao Qi. Gao Qi was a child prodigy back then." Old Zhu Te nodded to Gao Qi.

This Xia Yuanji was praised by others, and he was talented and intelligent. He was scouted by Biao'er, and if he was well trained, he would definitely be a reliable talent.

With wishful thinking in mind, Lao Zhu made a happy decision, and said that he wanted to meet this child named Xia Yuanji.

He found another person for Biao'er, which was not bad.

Li Shanchang and the others saw Lao Zhu giggling there, looked at me, and looked at you, all bowing their heads and pretending not to see.

You can only see what His Majesty lets you see, and pretend to be blind if you don’t let him see.

Sure enough, when Lao Zhu came back to his senses, he saw that no one was paying attention. Empress Ma was there letting the maids and eunuchs pick wild vegetables, and he was at ease.

"Your Majesty, half of the construction of the shipyard has been completed. Yang Xian dredged the river, and I feel that it is a bit difficult for the people." Li Shan said long.

"Who said that?" Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Biao'er said that it is best to run the sea and river in parallel. Let Feng Sheng and the others clean up those sea thieves, and Geng Bingwen and Fei Ju will also clean them up. Almost. Now you are telling us about Lao Min. Did Tang He say it?"

"I don't dare." Li Shanchang said, "It's just my own idea."

"Mr. Li, if this matter is abandoned halfway, then the money and manpower spent before will be wasted." Empress Ma got up and said.

"What your mother said is true." Li Shanchang hesitated for a long time and said: "I think..."

"Say it, don't be a jerk." Old Zhu said simply.

"I think sea transportation is convenient. But after all, it is superfluous. It is better to put the main force on this canal.

In addition, the big boat brought back from the Shen family in Suzhou was already scrapped, but Zheng Sanbao actually wanted to repair the boat, and Hubu Shangshu thought it was a waste of money.

There are also navy troops from Jiangnan and Jiangbei who are escorting the shipping..."

"Li Shanchang, did we give you face? This matter is our decision." Old Zhu walked slowly towards Li Shanchang.

Feeling oppressed, Li Shanchang changed his words and said: "Since His Majesty's will, I will fully support it."

A few days ago, regarding the matter of the government and gentry paying food together, a few civil officials stabbed their heads in the middle of the night and found that they were dead or drowned, and they couldn't tell.

Li Shanchang thought of this, sweating coldly at what he said just now.

……

Fengxiang, Daying.

Zhu Biao was already lying down, and because of his back injury, he could only sleep on his side.

Seeing him falling asleep, Shen knew whether he touched the wound on his back, and said in a low voice, "We still need to apply medicine."

Then he left the big tent.

When I went out, I happened to meet Xu Miaowei who was hurrying to the racecourse.

Did Shen Zhi think, maybe he went to practice late at night, and then entered the small tent, chatting with Xiaolian.

The wind is warm at night, and the moonlight is very good tonight.

Xu Miaowei took advantage of the moonlight to look at the big rock in the distance, and then at the back, and found that the patrolling soldiers did not notice this place.

Only then ran to the big rock with confidence.

He squatted down and touched the grass.

"Hey, where did you throw it?"

Xu Miaowei searched around the stone but couldn't find it.

At that time today, Zhu Biao threw away the ring, and Xu Miaowei quietly wrote down the location.

While everyone was asleep, I sneaked to see Caohuan.

His Highness said it was a Yuelao button, and wearing it could only belong to one person. Xu Miaowei's little thought was sweeter than honey.

After touching it for a long time, she saw that the straw ring was originally hanging on a wormwood tree.

She seemed to have found a rare treasure, and immediately ran forward to take it off gently, and looked at it under the moonlight, but it was a little dry.

Then he put it on his finger with satisfaction and walked towards the camp.

Involuntary bouncing and jumping.

The patrolling soldier patted the soldier next to him and said, "Look, is that Miss Xu?"

"Yeah, I'm not dazzled." The soldier rubbed his eyes and said, "This iceberg was laughing just now."

"Brother, you read that right."

"The moon hasn't risen in the west either."

Several officers and men talked a lot, after all Xu Miaowei laughed too little.

"Let's go, don't look at it, anyway, it's not for us to laugh, let me tell you, don't laugh poorly."

"Yes, go back to sleep after the exchange."

Xu Miaowei entered her tent, looked carefully at the grass ring on her finger, then gently took it off and put it next to the pillow.

After thinking for a while, I got up again and picked up the grass ring next to the pillow and put it in my dressing box.

Feeling inappropriate, I poured out some rouge, took the box and put it on the grass ring, and hugged it in my arms.

Sweet fell asleep.
