Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 290
In the bustling Yingtian Mansion, Lao Zhu felt that he was inconspicuous, although the team he led was relatively large.

Sitting in a small stall by the side of the road, Lao Zhu was a little greedy.It is not an exaggeration to say that the ducks in Jinling are famous, "Jinling ducks are the best in the world", there are all kinds of ducks.

Holding his fat grandson in his arms, Lao Zhu said with a smile, "Let's eat a bowl of duck blood vermicelli. We were hungry for this when we first arrived in Yingtianfu."

Zhu Zhu felt a little disgusted that the stall was dirty, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Lao Zhu.The identity of the first daughter makes her more favored, but Zhu Zhu also knows that her father is actually very partial and patriarchal.

Zhu Yunying, who had a sword hanging from his waist, also wanted a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup. As a student, he could hang a sword.Although swords are sometimes just decorations, don't underestimate the usefulness of swords.Zhu Yunying hangs the sword, naturally it is also in case of emergencies, it is better to have more protection.

Lao Zhu looked at the stall owner who was busy, and asked with a smile, "Old man, is this business a success?"

"It's okay, I can make ends meet." If it wasn't for the big customers, or if it wasn't too busy, the stall owner might not be bothered, "Our city is good, and we can support a family."

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and continued to ask with a smile, "That's okay. Let's go this way in the past, and see if your business is going well. This month, I guess there will be two or three taels of silver."

Judging from the current prices, about one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, and now one stone is almost 95 kilograms.

The stall owner laughed immediately, and said to Lao Zhu, "That's not true. If it's really two or three a month, we're better than the official."

Although Zhu Yunying had previously proposed to increase the salaries of the officials of Ming Dynasty, the salaries given by Lao Zhu at the beginning were too low.Now the salary of a seventh-rank official is just 50 taels of silver a year.In fact, the income of some small vendors is probably the same.

Of course, those who are officials, let alone those who are corrupt and pervert the law, actually have other subsidies for officials, and the total income must be more than 50 taels.

The stall owner's son and daughter-in-law also came to help. When the stall owner was free, he saw Lao Zhu waving, so he sat down at Lao Zhu's table with a smile.

"Brother, according to your accent, you are from Linhao, right?" The stall owner smiled, looked at Lao Zhu and asked, "Our people from Linhao speak differently from people from Yingtianfu."

Old Zhu was a little excited, and said happily, "Yes, we are from Linhao. We then called Yingtian Mansion and settled here. Our children and grandchildren have lost their Linhao accent."

The stall owner actually noticed it, and said enviously, "We have produced so many powerful people in Linhao, and we didn't go out with them when we were young. If we go to war with the emperor, we might as well be an official. "

Huaixi Xungui has great influence in the court, and those old brothers who followed Lao Zhu from his hometown back then, there are many middle and low-level officials and generals.Of course, countless people died in battle. To be able to live until the founding of the Ming Dynasty and to stand above the court requires both ability and luck.

The taste of duck blood fans is not bad, and everyone seems to be basically satisfied, but this time the private interview on Weibo is obviously not just that.

Old Zhu was very excited. Seeing that the people of Daming were doing well, he was full of pride. He felt that he, the emperor, had completed his mission, and that the country of Daming would surely last forever.

When we arrived at Zhuangyuan Building, it had a somewhat vulgar name, but there were quite a few restaurants like this in Yingtianfu.It may be that a number one scholar has lived here, or it may be just to get a good start.

"If there is a big happy event, you can open an Enke." Old Zhu looked at some scholars in the restaurant, and said to Zhu Yunying, "We don't have to start a course in three years, we can see Enke next year."

Zhu Yunying was overjoyed, and said to Lao Zhu, "I only took the exam once this year, and there was a lot of trouble. It is considered to be Enke, just as we are enthroned. We don't think it is necessary to open Enke next year, unless there is a big one." Happy event, otherwise we are not going to open Enke."

This can also be regarded as what Zhu Yunying said in his heart. It is not necessary for him not to open Enke. He thinks that the officials of Ming Dynasty are almost enough now.There are also quite a few reserve officials in Ming Dynasty. Some juren who can’t pass the Jinshi examination can also be elected officials, including Guozijian and many scholars can also become officials.

Of course, some of these officials are also grassroots officials, but Daming does not lack officials who are now.After more than [-] years, the Ming Dynasty has developed well, and the number of scholars is also increasing. This is all good news for Zhu Yunying, and it is also a manifestation of the growing strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Holding his precious daughter, Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, and his precious daughter was in an even better mood at this time.

"Don't worry about her making trouble at night." Zhu Yunying laughed, kissed Zhu Ruyi's small face and said, "I can't see enough after I come out, no matter where I look, it's fresh."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then said, "Our family's Yin'er is also fresh everywhere. After all, he has never been out. This is the same as the country people. Everything is fresh."

It's not a problem if you really want to say that, Xiao Xiaozhu is in the deep palace compound, and she is relatively unfamiliar with things outside the palace.For Xiao Xiaozhu, after leaving the palace this time, he really felt that everything he saw was fresh and interesting.

"Old man, what day is this?" An old man sitting next to him was a little curious, and said to Lao Zhu, "The whole family has come out, the old man's family is thriving!"

This scratched Lao Zhu's itch, and he introduced, "Our little girl, the eldest girl is not in Yingtian Mansion. This is our eldest grandson, this is our grandson-in-law, and that is his concubine's room. This little one is our important one. Sun."

The old man sitting next to him was even more envious, and said to Lao Zhu, "Fourth generation?! My husband is so lucky, I am afraid he is seventy?"

"He's just over seventy, and he's in good health." Old Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu, and said, "His father is busy with official duties, so let's take care of the child. At our age, that's all."

Lao Zhu has met someone of the same age that he can talk to, and this old man Liu is also from a good background, otherwise he would not come to this mid-range restaurant to drink and listen to ditties.

Old Zhu and his new friend were chatting enthusiastically, and this was also a way for the two old people to show off to each other.

This one said that the four generations of the family live together, and the other said that the four generations will live under the same roof soon.This one said that his son used to work for the emperor, and this one said that his son is now outside as a county magistrate.This one says that the children and grandchildren are filial, and the other one says that they just celebrated their birthday a few days ago
At this time, Zhu Yunying was listening and watching quietly. He was very clear about his position in this private visit through Weibo. He knew that he was a tool person, and he was really happy to play such a role.

Accompany Lao Zhu to come out to have a look, so that Lao Zhu can inspect the people's livelihood.Take little Zhu out for a walk, let him see the world outside the palace.

Zhu Yunying hugged Zhu Ruyi and was reluctant to let go, and said to Zhu Zhu with a smile, "Auntie, after uncle comes back from this trip, he will be sincere, and our cousin will not stare at the task of commanding colleagues in the future, right?"

Zhu Zhu laughed and said to Zhu Yunying, "That's impossible, Wei Guogong is still the governor! It just so happens that your cousin can also attack the Marquis in the future, and being a governor is justified."

The ranks of the Dudufu of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty are mostly higher than those of the civil service system, and the duties of the Dudu are basically dominated by princes.Although there were basically no one serving as the left and right governors and Tongzhi in the Dudufu of the Five Armies, the situation of the governors' appointments gradually began to diversify.

This is mainly because most of the older princes retired because they were older.

In the previous period of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, all the governors who served were, without exception, military generals with military merits who were promoted.And now, there are also a group of meritorious officials and descendants of honored relatives who are specially conferred as the governor of the governor's mansion.

Zhu Yunying also laughed, and said, "Then you can't be our left and right governors, and the governors and colleagues, you can only be a governor."

"Being an emperor is different. In the past, all the officials promised to my cousin were first-rank officials, but now I give them a second-rank official." Zhu Zhu joked with a smile, "Ying'er, you are the emperor who looks at the elders. big!"

Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Then are you willing to let your cousin go to the battlefield? My cousin is also a bully in Dahontang, there is no one he dare not fight."

Zhu Zhu was a little embarrassed, she thought she was fairly knowledgeable, and her husband often had a scholarly atmosphere.But after giving birth to a son, he turned out to be lawless.Now studying in Dabentang, but a little bully, it seems that he has not beaten the crown prince.

"Your grandpa is not used to it!" Zhu Zhu lowered her voice and complained in a low voice, "When we were young, your grandpa was strict with you, and your grandma was also strict with you. When it comes to you, they will be biased. They are all relatives from different generations. !"

Pointing to little Zhu who was lying on Lao Zhu's lap, Zhu Yunying said, "Yin'er was spoiled and spoiled, Grandpa Huang will be responsible. I used to think that he doted on us, but now we are more favored than Yin'er. We were not considered favored at the beginning!"

Zhu Zhu also laughed, and said to Zhu Yunying, "You are a bit strict with Yin'er, you should pamper and take care of her. But you are just pampering Ruyi!"

Zhu Yunying immediately became proud, and said to Zhu Zhu, "After all, a son is not as caring as a daughter. Ruyi is caring. I like us the most."

While Zhu Yunying was chatting in a low voice, something happened that made Zhu Yunying speechless.
