Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 339 337 - The Last Hongwu Year
Prosperity is the most attractive eye.

The arrival of the family members of the heroes of Jing Nan injected a bit of vitality into the entire capital, and happened to fill in some gentry families who moved south because of disagreement of ideas and did not want to be used by Zhu Di.

The perfect transition of the privileged class prevented this calamity from causing major trauma to the city of Nanjing.

Even for the common people.

On the contrary, they have a better impression of the family members of Jing Nan heroes who are a bit rustic than those gentry families who always talk about the rules and put on airs.

It may also be that they can despise the two old hats in their hearts, which can reduce the sense of oppression brought about by their different identities. Anyway, the already prosperous capital is becoming more and more lively.

Zhen Wu's family is different. His family was originally a powerful family, but now it has become even more powerful, so there is no such thing as a family that suddenly jumped up the ranks to make any jokes.

Zhu Yuying used her skills as a housewife to sort out the huge Duke's mansion clearly in just a few days. The family rules, rewards and punishments, responsibilities, and powers were arranged in an orderly manner, which made everyone feel admiration.

However, there are too many servants in the family, and it is inevitable that there will still be one or two bullying outside the house.

On this day, someone brought this matter to Zhu Yuying.

Zhu Yuying did not directly pursue the responsibility of that servant, but first called all the housekeepers, big and small, into a courtyard, and she reprimanded them all with a cold face, and even deliberately He dropped a teacup severely, and then began to punish him from top to bottom.

Zhen Wu lay lazily on the rocking chair after watching this scene, and couldn't help being amazed. It's the time when the family rules are established, and it is best to punish severely and severely. Zhen Wu understands this truth, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuying to play So slippery.

And when the teacup was thrown just now, if Zhen Wu hadn't been very familiar with Zhu Yuying, he would have thought that Zhu Yuying was furious.

After Zhu Yuying finished handling the matter and let these people go down, she glared at Zhen Wu complainingly.

"Husband knows that it's okay to watch the fun, but it's weird to affect my body. I planned to throw another teacup, but you couldn't pretend to be so funny."

Seeing Zhu Yuying walking beside him, Zhen Wu grabbed Zhu Yuying's hand and said with a smile, "It's not that I did it on purpose, it's just that I didn't expect it."

"Didn't expect what?" Zhu Yuying's crystal eyes were full of puzzlement.

Zhen Wu looked at her, as if he saw Zhu Yuying's childhood shadow again, he held Zhu Yuying's hand tightly and said: "I didn't expect that back then, she was as soft-tempered as cotton, and she always talked to me in the same way. The shy little girl has now become the most competent hostess, and has also become the most competent wife and mother, I, Zhen Wu, can marry you in this life, it is really a great blessing in my previous life."

Zhu Yuying probably didn't expect Zhen Wu to say that, the old couple's habits hadn't had time to play a role, so she let the words of love come to her head, a blush appeared on her uncontrollable face, just like when they were unmarried look like.

She lightly slapped Zhen Wu on the shoulder.

"What nonsense again, I can tell you that I was not soft-tempered back then, and I was also fierce in the palace, but...just when facing you, I don't know why I always blush nervously."

"It's a matter of love, what else can it be." Zhen Wu said without humility at all, and then laughed out loud.

Zhu Yuying couldn't help giving Zhen Wu another look, but there was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth.

However, after a while, Zhu Yuying stopped smiling, and a look of anxiety appeared on her face.

"Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I almost forgot the business. I still have to catch Xiao Liu. Let this girl follow me to learn how to run the house. She is always impatient and will run away whenever she has the opportunity."

Zhen Wu was reluctant to let Zhu Yuying go, and said indifferently: "Slip, she will slip away, she has not had this temper for a day or two, and besides learning to be the head of the house, she can be anxious for a while."

"Why are you in no hurry?"

Zhu Yuying gave Zhen Wu an angry look this time: "In the end, it's all your fault. I can scare her when you're not at home. Once you're at home, she becomes lawless as if she had a backer. Don't think about it, how old is Xiaoliu this year, maybe one day he will get married, how can he succeed if he doesn't learn these things, the Hu Changyong's family under you a few days ago, his family made a joke, he set up a house in the city After giving birth and buying a servant, his daughter-in-law wants to reward him because of his dedication to serving him. You can reward him if you say so. Good guy, the reward is too heavy. The servant will not dare to accept it. The most important thing is What's more, the family's management is not strict, and this matter spread out, making it a complete laughing stock, do you want Xiao Liu to make such a joke in the future?"

Zhu Yuying babbled on, but after she finished speaking, she realized that Zhen Wu didn't seem to be listening at all.

"Talking to you, why are you in a daze?" Zhu Yuying said.

Zhen Wu came back to his senses all of a sudden, he said to Zhu Yuying, as if he was saying to himself: "It turns out that Xiao Liu has also reached the age to leave the court."

"That's right, she's seventeen years old. She couldn't take care of her in the war before. Now that the war is over, why don't you put it on the agenda."

Zhen Wu was a little irritable, unwilling to talk about this matter, so he said: "Xiao Liu is different, what is the status of our Xiao Liu, what if it rewards others with a golden mountain? If you don't dare to accept it, you will have to suffer it for life, others Who dares to say a few words? Even if you talk about them, you have to praise our little six."

"Then you also have to have a mountain of gold for Xiao Liu to reward people."

Zhu Yuying said angrily: "Come on, I won't chat with you anymore, I'll go catch Xiao Liu, you're not happy here, but I still want to talk to you, even if you don't want her anymore, you don't take her seriously. The reason why the elder brother prevents the younger sister from getting married is to harm her."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuying greeted the maid and walked out, while issuing a battle plan to surround Xiaoliu.

Zhen Wu was so irritable that he couldn't go on enjoying himself in the rocking chair. He stood up with only one thought in his head. Time flies so fast. The little girl who hugged his thigh and wanted to fly high, actually wanted to marry him while talking. people.

Ugh.

Just when Zhen Wu was agitated, the third child ran over.

Seeing that the third child was wearing official uniform, Zhen Wu suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said to the third child, "Let's go, let's talk in the study."

Afterwards, he led the third child towards the study.

As soon as he entered the study, the third child said impatiently, "Brother, my position has been transferred."

Zhen Wu frowned: "Where are you going?"

The third child handed the letter of appointment to Zhen Wu, and said: "Fuzhou, I will serve as the governor of the capital, but I don't know why I am not allowed to stay in the yamen of the capital, but instead let me stay in Changle."

Zhen Wu looked at the appointment notice of the third child, and then turned over a map to look at it. The more he looked at Zhen Wu's brows, the deeper his frown, the terrain was interesting.

It suddenly occurred to him that when he was looking at the file a few days ago, he had seen the place name Changle. Zhen Wu signaled the third child to wait a moment, and he quickly searched for it.

Finally, he found Changle in a file recording the shipbuilding industry of Ming Dynasty.

"Heh." Zhen Wu laughed lightly.

Zhu Di unexpectedly began to prepare for Zheng He's voyages to the West, which was early enough.

The third child looked at Zhen Wu incomprehensibly.

Zhen Wu signaled the third child to sit down, and then slowly said: "Don't panic, it's a good job." Then, Zhen Wu handed the file of the shipbuilding industry to the third child, and then he explained: "Changle is near the sea, and since ancient times, shipbuilding The industry is relatively developed. After you go to Changle, you don’t have to think about other things. Focus on integrating and improving shipbuilding technology. It’s best to learn some yourself. It will be of great use to you in the future. Circle, find a place that is most suitable for shipbuilding."

The third child was a little surprised: "Your Majesty is going to build a shipyard in Changle?"

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "It must be as short as half a year, as long as a year, you will definitely receive this order."

The third child was still a little puzzled, so he asked, "Then why didn't you build it in Longjiang, why did you go to Changle?"

"Longjiang also needs to be built, and Changle also needs to be built. How many ships do you think His Majesty only needs? Let me tell you, there are many, and you will definitely be busy in the future."

The third child got up and came to the map and looked at it. After a while, the third child tentatively asked: "Is your majesty going to build a ship and go to sea? To Nanyang?"

Zhen Wu nodded: "I think it should be, but you don't have to tell others about these things, you only need to do your errands well, and you will be a great achievement."

Hearing what Zhen Wu said, the third child, who was a little nervous before, completely calmed down. He smiled and said, "This is really a good job."

Zhen Wu hummed, and began to pack up the things on the table.

After tidying up, Zhen Wu yelled outside and asked someone to bring some tea in, and then talked about family affairs with the third child.

"Yesterday, I heard from your sister-in-law that my mother is talking about your daughter-in-law again?"

When the third son heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, but in front of his big brother, there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said: "It's still for the sake of the child, but you don't know, I brought Shi Nuan I checked it secretly, the doctor said that Shi Nuan is not easy to have children, I thought there would always be some when I get older, but I didn’t expect that I haven’t come until now, but my mother has been pressing too hard recently, I’m fine, but Shi Nuan is already So things have been gloomy, and now I worry about gains and losses every day."

Speaking of this, the third child said with a sad face: "Yesterday she let me take a concubine, which is actually nothing, but if I take a concubine at such a juncture, wouldn't it be stabbing her? She used to be so proud How could I do such a thing with a person like me?"

Zhen Wu sighed, he couldn't say much about such things.

I can only say a few words of consolation.

"Don't worry, the doctor also said that it's not easy, it's not that there is no chance. This time, you go to Changle and take her with you. You have the right to relax. Maybe when you feel better, the child will come. As for our mother Where, don't bother my mother, she also has her thoughts, before you take office, you still need to be patient and spend more time with my mother, she has been looking forward to the reunion for a long time, and now you are leaving again in a few days, pointing out Might be sad again."

"I know that, brother, don't worry."

Zhen Wu nodded: "It's fine if you know, daughter-in-law and old lady, you have to think about it yourself, don't let them feel sad for you, we are men and we can't be tired and troubled."

After saying this, Zhen Wu stood up and said: "Okay, I won't say anything more to you, while there is still time, I will go to the Supervision Department, and the dogs will be killed if they don't give you a whip." If I don’t want to take a step forward, I have to push them to make more powerful firearms, and then I have to find a way to mobilize their enthusiasm first.”

The third child saw that Zhen Wu was busy, so he stopped talking.

The two brothers walked outside as companions, and as soon as they walked out of the study, the two brothers saw Zhu Yuying come back with Xiao Liu's ears on their hands.

When Xiao Liu saw Zhen Wu and the two, he shouted excitedly as if seeing a savior: "Big Brother, Third Brother."

Zhen Wu and Lao San both pretended not to hear, and hurried past Xiao Liu.

Then Zhu Yuying's voice sounded: "Shout, if you keep shouting, no one will be able to save you today, and it's not that I said you, I won't see you for a while, but you actually went to make your little nephew and niece do somersaults Play, my God, our family is not happy, and there will be another Zhen Liuniang."

When Zhen Wu and the third child heard this, they couldn't help shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

"Where is Xiao Qi, do you know what Xiao Qi is doing?" Zhen Wu asked the third child suddenly.

The third child hated the iron and said: "What else can he do? I chose a loft near the lake to live in. It was rare. I either fed the fish on the second floor or asked his little brothers to come and play. I will When I went out, I also saw Xiao Xun and a few companions coming over."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Uncle Meng's youngest son, Uncle Zheng's second son, Gu Liang from Gu Ming's family, who else is here, I didn't pay much attention."

Zhen Wu smiled and said, "They're just a bunch of little brats with nothing serious to do. Forget it, let them play for a while. After the new year, throw them all in the school."

The third one gloated and said, "This is the best, otherwise it would seem that their life is too easy, I'm jealous when I see it."

Zhen Wu pointed at the third child angrily.

After a while, the two came to the fork, the third child talked to Zhen Wu, and then walked towards Zhang Yuqing's courtyard, while Zhen Wu walked towards the outside of the mansion.

Along the way, I also thought about how to mobilize the enthusiasm of craftsmen to improve inventions.

Improve the social status of artisans?
It's too hard.

Forget it.

Let's use your own name first to attract them with benefits.

Presumably Zhao Guogong is the most admired craftsman, and it should also inspire many craftsmen.

After all, it's nothing more than buying bones with thousands of dollars.
……

As the days passed, soon, the third child left Beijing to take office, and then Xue Lu also left Beijing to take office. Zhu Di gradually arranged the people he trusted to places he valued.

And Zhen Wu's life has been dull and fulfilling recently, three points and one line, the military camp, the Construction Supervision Bureau, and Zhao Guogong's mansion, but in his spare time, he will investigate more about the situation in Nanyang.

Under such circumstances, the 34th year of Hongwu finally came to the end of the year.

Many foreign envoys began to appear in the capital, which made the already prosperous capital a bit more grand, but it was necessary to put several quotation marks on it.

At least for this year, there were no visitors from Japan and Japan, and only a few people from the countries of Southeast Asia.

But this doesn't affect the excitement of the children, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Sanyue, Youshu, no matter if they are older or younger, they can't stand the temptation outside and always want to play outside.

This is really hard for Zhu Yuying, she has to hold on to the big and small ones, but she often presses the gourd to float the ladle.

Gradually.

New Year's Eve arrived as scheduled.

At night, the sky was filled with fireworks in the capital, and Zhen Wu stood in the yard looking at the gorgeous night sky, unable to calm down for a long time.

The title of Hongwu was forcibly extended by Zhu Di for a few years, but it finally came to an end.

And the era created by Zhu Yuanzhang and his generation will finally be completely classified as history, just like the most gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, they will eventually become annihilated.

However, this is not a pity.

Because Yongle is here.

The fireworks that Zhen Wu released from their generation are bound to burst into dazzling brilliance, and even illuminate the entire night sky.

……

　Thanks to 'Book Friends 9057' and 'Book Friends 3642' for their rewards, and thanks to the two bosses for their rewards.
