Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 616

As for how much help palm oil can bring to Daming, there is actually no answer yet.

But one thing is certain, that is, as long as it works well, palm oil can indeed supplement the 'vegetable basket' of the people of Ming Dynasty.In this era when it is almost impossible to develop industrialization, Zhu Yunying still needs to develop the agricultural economy.

Not only to do a good job in the agricultural economy, but also to develop some trade. Zhu Yunying feels that this is also his responsibility.

Zhu Yunying didn't mean that he just wanted to expand the territory, and most of the time he also hoped to see some practical benefits, and he could see the long-term benefits to the Ming Dynasty and this nation.

Otherwise, Zhu Yunying would not have thought of enfeoffing some clans.All of this has been 'broken down' with great effort, and it can be incorporated into the territory with a little more effort.The reason not to do this is actually to take into account practical factors.

There are actually some benefits to enclosing them.This is what Zhu Yunying has been doing all the time, and she doesn't plan to change it.

Zhu Yunying didn't pay special attention to some things, and didn't rush to do some things.There is no need to discuss the matter of palm oil in the court, because these matters have not yet been determined, and it is not suitable for big fanfare.

Since we are preparing to do some big things, we need to bring these things out at the most suitable time, so as to cause a sensation, so as to bring more topics and attract more attention.

Of course, not only these clans and nobles can gain a wave of prestige, the emperor Zhu Yunying can also earn the greatest prestige after all, and can gain more praise and popular support.

The Founding Duke's Mansion received the Queen's order, and the Founding Duke's Mansion felt that it was an honor.

The one who takes the lead is naturally Chang Mao's wife, Chang Zhou. She is the wife of the founding father and the emperor's great aunt.This time being summoned into the harem, it was naturally her, the imperial wife, who took the lead, and no one could compare with her.

On the other side of Zhongshan Palace, Xu Huizu's wife, Mrs. Xu Li, brought three sisters-in-law, who were also dressed in the clothes of Mrs. Gaoming, and were about to enter the palace.

Although there are some strange things, generally speaking, even if there are rewards in the palace, it is the head mistress who enters the palace.But now this time is different, all the female family members of the whole mansion were called over at once, which is a bit different.

So much so that Mrs. Xu Li wondered if her husband had made great contributions in Korea, and that's why she had such a long grace.

However, when they saw the movement in the Kaiping Palace, the Zhongshan Palace also kept a low profile.Who let the Kaiping palace go to the emperor's and queen's aunts, and there is a difference in seniority.Even if the entrance of the Zhongshan Palace is as high as the Kaiping Palace, you still need to pay attention to it. This is not to lose the face of the Queen and the Prince.

This can also be regarded as the family tradition of Xu Da and Xu Huizu running the family. The Zhongshan Palace is relatively low-key and modest.

Xu Li's Xiapei is bright red, and the Xiapei is embroidered with Yunxia Zhai patterns in gold, although it is about the same age as Chang Zhou's.But in front of Chang Zhou's, Xu Li has always placed herself in the right position, and her background is indeed not as high as Chang Zhou's.

"My niece has met my first aunt." Xu Li led his younger siblings forward, saluted and said, "I have seen my second and third aunts."

Mrs. Chang Zhou hurriedly helped Mrs. Xu up, and said, "Don't be too polite, it's better to be more polite in your Zhongshan Palace. We don't know how to be polite, so we recklessly failed to put on the scarf."

Xu Li said with a smile, "It's still my niece who is out, the queen dare not be rude when she summons her."

Mrs. Chang Zhou suddenly felt that this cheap niece had something thorny in her words, maybe she was mocking the Kaiping Palace for having no family style.
At this time, the two top honorable female relatives got along more harmoniously.

Because Concubine Wu cautiously followed Eldest Princess Zhu Yue, they all seemed to have been called into the palace.It's just that everyone is even more surprised, why is this my family, the real family.

Zhu Yue stepped forward with a smile, and said to Chang Zhou, "Auntie, how are you doing these days?"

Regarding this niece, Chang Zhou said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Princess Lao is concerned, and my concubine is well."

Sang Shi also stepped forward at this time and said, "My niece has met my eldest aunt."

Xu Li's heart is still a little sour. Everyone knows that she is Mrs. Zhongshan, but looking at others, Chang Zhou, Princess Chang, and Princess Wu, they all have to salute when they see Chang Zhou.In front of Chang Zhou's, it's not just the monarch and ministers, but more family members.

However, Mrs. Chang Zhou also knew it well, and said quickly, "The concubine pays respects to His Royal Highness Princess Chang and Princess Wu."

Although Zhu Yue is now married and has children of his own, he is still in charge of the affairs of Prince Wu's Mansion, "This time, the incompetent second child and his second daughter-in-law are troublesome. Knowing what kind of tree oil there is in Nanyang, they ran to the palace. There's a treasure here."

Sang's head was lowered. Although she was a little bit generous, it was just that she had been tightly controlled by Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue, the two elder sisters-in-law all these years.Don't look at Wu Wang's rich reputation, but in front of his older brothers and sisters, he has always been an educated little brother.

This time, no matter whether it is the line of the Zhongshan Palace or the Kaiping Palace, they probably know something.This time he was called into the palace, and now he finally knew the reason, so he didn't need to continue guessing.

Because it was summoned by the empress, there is no such thing as entering the palace. Of course, there is no palace amulet, and you can enter the palace directly.

Xu Miaoqing was in a good mood, and she didn't put on airs or talk about her status, especially in front of the Chang Zhou family. She was not just the empress of the Ming Dynasty, she was also Zhu Yunying's wife, so it was not easy to put on airs in front of her aunt.

But in the end, it is necessary to pay attention. The queen can express her closeness, but the courtiers cannot climb up the pole.

After everyone was seated, Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Yesterday King Wu entered the palace, and the fleet from Nanyang brought some good things. If His Majesty expects it, Daming will have a lot of grain and oil. It is not certain that Daming will have no more grain and oil." worries."

Sang was stunned for a moment, she just heard that those trees had a lot of oil and could be eaten, but she didn't know exactly what the oil was.In fact, letting Zhu Yunxi enter the palace to announce the good news was somewhat of an "auspicious" idea, and I didn't think it had much practical effect.

Or to put it more simply, even if the tree oil from Nanyang is useful, it means that there are more oil workshops in the property of King Wu's Mansion.The oil workshop is still of some value in Daming, and the two couples in the Wu Palace are relatively greedy.

But hearing what Xu Miaoqing said, Sang was also happy. Of course, she would not doubt something.

Just like her husband Zhu Yunxie never doubted Zhu Yunying, Sang's never doubted her uncle.

Looking at the smiling Sang family, Xu Miaoqing continued, "This fleet may make great achievements, and His Majesty is also happy. After all, this is the property of our relatives. Your Majesty means to plan well."

Mrs. Chang Zhou got up immediately and said, "Your Majesty is still in charge of such a big matter."

Mrs. Xu Li also got up quickly, and her attitude was also very firm, "The courtiers and concubines are all women, so how can they have any knowledge. The important affairs of the court should be decided by His Majesty."

The smile on Xu Miaoqing's face was even better, and she said, "Your Majesty is a person who cares about relatives. If outsiders have made meritorious deeds, His Majesty will not hesitate to reward them, let alone their own family members! What His Majesty meant by this trip, the Zhongshan Palace and the Kaiping Palace, can be more than one." A hereditary title."

This time Chang Zhou's and Xu Li's couldn't calm down, even though they were both the Duke's wife, the three Chang Mao brothers and the three Xu Huizu brothers also had titles.But it is Chang Mao and Xu Huizu who are the most powerful men, who are the hereditary titles.

Xu Miaoqing looked at Zhu Yue, and said, "Go back and tell your son-in-law to let him go to Fujian for a visit. Your Majesty means that the second uncle and second brother will also go along. The second uncle and the second brother are already If you have military merits, you will be crowned a knight when you come back."

Chang Zhou's and Xu Li's had no objections. Chang Sheng's wife and Xu Yingxu's wife also felt that the sky had fallen.

Xu Miaoqing looked at Sang's family and said, "This is a very good thing. It's just that your majesty is not partial to planning the hereditary title of your own family. Wu Wangfu can only suffer a bit this trip, and Wu Wangfu can't lead the way." gone."

Sang quickly got up and said flatteringly, "His Royal Highness is joking, my family knows about our own affairs. Our family did not contribute to the matter of the fleet, and it was all rewarded by His Majesty. These two sisters have helped me all these years. They are all taken care of by uncles and aunts.”

Xu Miaoqing looked at Sang and felt that Sang and Zhu Yunxi were really a match made in heaven.Even though Sang's gang is generous, and even some of them can't get on the stage, they are not confused about big things, and they also have their unique shrewdness.

Now that the Sang family is on the way, Xu Miaoqing did not hide it, "Your emperor brother also has the same thoughts. After all, the second child is still a prince, and the rewards for him are nothing more than more jewels and fields. That little thing Wen Geng is about to be canonized. It’s time for the son. We don’t have to fight, there are a lot of things that Qi’er will need in the future.”

Sang smiled even more flatteringly, and said, "I don't know how many times the lord has said in front of his concubine that the mother left early, and he lived well because of the elder brother and two elder sisters taking care of him. Grandma and uncles and aunts are always there to take care of us. They took care of us all these years and we all remember that.”

Xu Miaoqing nodded with a smile, and said, "The second child is also caring, we didn't love him for nothing. Don't think too much, you two are the youngest after all, we should take care of you."

Zhu Yue also followed suit, "Sister-in-law Huang said that the second child also suffered a lot. The queen mother left early, and we also know that the father and the emperor also blamed the second child in the early years. After all, we and sister Huang are women. Brother Huang The emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother are taking care of him, but our second child is left alone."

Mrs. Chang Zhou quickly said, "I won't talk about that today. The king of Wu should be happy to help His Majesty relieve his worries and accomplish such a great event."

In fact, the people present more or less knew something.Even some people in the Zhongshan Palace knew something about Zhu Yunxi's early years. He knew that Emperor Yingshi's younger brother was actually Emperor Yingshi's favorite. In fact, he really had no sense of presence in the palace. Go to Zhu Yunwen.

Xu Miaoqing also said with a smile, "Auntie is still right. This is a good thing. After all, the second child has accomplished some great things."

At this time, everyone is wise not to correct some things. Although Zhu Yunxi did not actually contribute much to the fleet affairs, he even just sat on his name and enjoyed the benefits.But whoever corrects it at this time is a fool.

So what if Zhu Yunying helped his younger siblings to set up the fleet, the Xu family, Chang family, Feng family, and Mu family are directly managing the fleet now, so that's okay.Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi is the consul on the surface, and this is all his achievements.

No one can rob, and no one will rob these credits.

Thinking of something, Xu Miaoqing said, "Grandpa Huang is also happy. In the morning, he asked the crown prince to give you Ruyi. This is for you. Don't think too much about it today. I'm afraid it's his uncle Huang. Brother Huang, this is for him to stay in the palace."

Sang immediately knelt down to thank her, and she won this time.Her statement was correct, so the emperor's brother and sister-in-law were immediately rewarded.Leaving aside the rewards for her, the main thing is the rewards for Zhu Wengeng, which is what Sang is most concerned about.

In the final analysis, even Sang's family can be regarded as wealthy and prominent, but even if she is a shrew in the eyes of some people, with long hair and short knowledge, etc., she still cares about her own children after becoming a mother.Even if her child will be King Wu in the future, she still needs to please the emperor and the prince.

Zhu Yue was also happy, and said, "Then we have to write a family letter to the eldest sister to make everyone happy. We are younger and don't understand many things. It was the eldest sister who used to take care of the second child."

It is an exaggeration to say so, Zhu Yue is only one year older than Zhu Yunxie, and Zhu Xi is actually only two years older than Zhu Yunxie.If it weren't for Zhu Yunying's early wisdom, this brother who is three years older than Zhu Yunying might not be able to take good care of his younger siblings.

Chang Zhou's family is more courageous, and his status is also suitable, "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Wu has made such great achievements, and His Royal Highness King Wu can be sent to Dongling."

Xu Miaoqing immediately nodded with a smile, and said, "That's the reason. The queen mother should be happy to see the second child is so promising. In the early years, your majesty also said that the second child is the most difficult thing for the mother to let go before she leaves."

This is family and everything is going well. This big family, brothers and sisters are all very promising, and now they have achieved good results. It is only natural to announce the good news at this time.

These things are also worth showing off.It not only highlights Chang's identity and status, but also re-emphasizes Zhu Yunying's legitimacy.Some things seem to have been justified long ago, but they also need to be constantly emphasized.

After all, in some people's opinion, Da Zhu did not sit on the dragon chair after all, and Lao Zhu has other heirs.

This kind of home and prosperity is definitely possible!
