Daming heir

Chapter 287 Grandpa's Great Grandson
It is a long distance from Longwan Wharf to Yingtianhuang City.

He grew up enough for Zhu Yunxi, who came home after a long absence, to carefully observe the changes in Yingtian City during those days when he was not at home.

As the first good land of Ming Dynasty, the land of Gyeonggi.

The battle of the distant Jiaozhi Road was most obvious in Yingtian.

Along both sides of the street, there are many specialties that can only be found in the south that have not been seen in the past few years.

When he passed through the west city and arrived in the middle city.

People with Jiaozhi faces began to appear on the road, but these people were attached to some people wearing brocade silk or satin, or followed in caravans.

To Zhu Yunxi's surprise, there are many people on the road that can only be seen in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, with red, yellow, green and white hair, deep eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. , a white-skinned race with a strong body odor that cannot be concealed.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, these people were called Xirong people.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these people were called Hu people.

In Daming, these people were collectively referred to as Yi people, and they were subdivided into Hongyi people, Flangji people, etc.

Of course, these are official scenes.

As for the common people, the hair of these people is uniformly used, and a ghost word is added to refer to these people.

Red-haired ghosts, white-haired ghosts, and yellow-haired ghosts.

And so on.

It is full of the grand chauvinism of the Central Plains.

"Since Li Jinglong led the Japanese army, and Chang Sheng and you Daxing warships, shipped to Changhua County and Jiaozhi Road, it was rare to see Japanese infestation in the southeast coast last year. Now these barbarians were brought with them in the winter of last year. For the goods entering Beijing, Xia Yuanji is thinking about how to do business with them."

After all, Zhu Xi was not put on the sedan chair by his good elders and good nephews.

It was only under the strict guard of my elders and nephews that I got a horse and followed Zhu Yunxi after being stared at by everyone.

Zhu Yunxi turned his head and looked at Youyuan as if he was a heartbroken second uncle.

Ignore this person's little thoughts.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Xia Yuanji wants to do business with these barbarians?"

Zhu Yu snorted and curled his lips, and rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi: "Zhejiang Dao's work is done, and I have returned to Beijing. Can he stay in Zhejiang Dao? Now there is a vacancy for the Minister of Household Affairs, and Yu Xin spends all day Don't ask about world affairs, Xia Yuanji is the busiest in the household department right now."

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but chuckled.

Since the Enke Examination in Hongwu 25 years ago, the imperial court's handling of the examination fraud case was limited to people like Liu Sanwu.

But at that time, Zhao Mian probably reacted, and it didn't take long for him to play the begging for bones.

The emperor tried to persuade him to stay three times in a row, but at last he couldn't resist the strong desire of the Minister of the Household Department who had worked so hard for many years to resign and go home to embrace his grandson, so he allowed Zhao Mian's begging for bones.

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the barbarians who were shopping on both sides of the road: "What did they bring?"

The maritime trade of Daming during the Hongwu period was actually not bad.

Why is the Japanese plague in the southeast getting bigger and bigger every year?
This is a big proposition.

Under this proposition, it is the maritime trade between the Ming and Yi people, which has a huge trade share and economic exchanges with great potential.

Maritime exchanges and maritime trade did not appear suddenly, nor did they appear after Zheng He's voyages to the West.

The barbarians in Yingtian City probably heard about the Southern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty last year and the great prosperity of shipping. After they knew about the Japanese invaders along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, because of the military strategy of the imperial court, they had the joint effect of eliminating the Japanese invaders. .

The barbarian sea merchants who heard the news from the Delhi Sultanate belonging to the Tughluk Dynasty in the west.

Zhu Xi has no interest in these barbarians who stink all day long, and his only interest is limited to what these barbarians spread, those chests with red hair, yellow hair, and white hair that are particularly open in the barbarian country. A female barbarian who is about to explode.

Therefore, Zhu Xi thought for a while, and then said with uncertainty: "Wool blankets, gems, and some messy things that can't be put on the table. More of it is the gold and silver they brought. Let's Daming buy everything back."

His Royal Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty expressed strong contempt for the material foundation and social craftsmanship of the barbarians.Moreover, he showed a strong interest and affection for the gold and silver brought by these barbarians.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the level of craftsmanship and the material foundation of society, Daming is enough to be proud of the whole world.

The Yi people came to Daming from far away Europe, and they had already completed the transaction on the way.

Whether it is woolen blankets or gems, as well as the messy things in Zhu Xi's mouth, they are almost all exchanged from ocean trade routes, and so is gold and silver.

Use backward social products to go to more backward areas to earn a huge price difference, and then send the transferred gold and silver to Daming, exchange for exquisite high-level products and ship them back to Europe, and sell them at high prices to maximize profits.

After at least two rounds of trade, it is in line with the pursuit of these Europa merchants to allow themselves to earn more wealth.

It's just the shearers, who the hell are.

This is a question worth discussing with Xia Yuanji.

Zhu Xi didn't understand why his eldest nephew was interested in these stinking barbarians, but he ignored the matter of his own uncle.

Seeing that he had already reached the Xi'an Gate, he hummed, "We've arrived at the Imperial City."

……

"Wow haha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...wahahaha..."

"Grandpa's grandson is finally back!"

"Let Grandpa take a good look."

Outside the majestic Huagai Palace, the laughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, spread to all directions of the palace with waves visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding maids and servants all stopped and bowed their heads.

After getting the news, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not waited in the hall, but eagerly left the Huagai Hall, looked at Zhu Yunxi who came up from the step by step, with a face full of joy, and waved his hands to greet him.

When Zhu Yunxi had just walked to the gate of the Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang had already patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulders heavily with his hands, his fingers clasped his shoulders tightly, and his eyes swept back and forth on him eagerly.

Zhu Yunxi, who was being checked by the old man for any missing parts, raised his head in embarrassment and looked at the old man who came out behind the old man.

Zhu Biao gave his son a helpless look, and then glanced faintly at the second child who followed him back to the palace.

Zhu Xi immediately lowered his head guiltily, looking at his toes.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a while, patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, and then patted his face: "Sunburned, it is more heroic. This trip to Cochin Road is not in vain. I heard that you made it to Daluo City for the first time. At that time, I held the military newspaper in my hand, so I couldn’t read it, I was afraid of hearing that you were injured, but fortunately, the ancestors blessed you, and you were not injured.”

This kind of behavior of hoping that his grandson will have a future, but fearing that something will happen to his grandson, is vividly reflected in Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to cup his hands and fists: "The three armies are united, the soldiers are brave, why did something happen to my grandson, fortunately, this time the military strategy to the south has not caused any trouble, which only increases my troubles."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and patted Zhu Yunxi's cheek, rolled his eyes and said, "I've been out for two years, but I've become more stable."

After finishing speaking, he patted him on the shoulder again, and then walked to the back.

Zhu Yuanzhang scrutinized the faces of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing for a long time, stepped forward to pat them on the shoulders, and even punched Zhu Shangbing's chest twice.

Then he waved his robe and put his hands on his waist.

"Brother Chi's experience is the most cost-effective. We see that Brother Chi's body is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't look fat anymore. I will go to Beiping and let him know what his son looks like now. "

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at the prince who had already walked over.

With a smile all over his face, Zhu Biao nodded his head in response to the old man's order, and looked at Zhu Gaochi who had lowered his head shyly: "Brother Chi is more like the fourth child when he was young."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Shangbing, who had his head up and his chest up, and hummed and laughed twice.

"You are better than your old man, stand out!"

Zhu Xi from behind immediately frowned and looked over, seeing the old man staring at him with warning eyes, he quickly turned around and lowered his head.

But Zhu Shangbing bared his teeth and said: "Back to Grandpa, although my grandson was not the first in Daluo City this time, he also killed many people. Victory."

"Good, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said three good words in a row, and couldn't help but smashed Zhu Shangbing's chest again: "Strong! We heard that you still want to learn from your Seventeenth Uncle and also be the forward general in front of the general? Don't Hurry up, no matter how hard you practice for a few years, grandpa will let you be a striker."

Zhu Shangbing's face was filled with joy immediately: "Is what grandpa said true?"

"Grandpa can still tell you lies?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared, and then looked at the group of grandsons following behind: "Don't be in a hurry. Letting you out of the palace today is to know what you think. Now all be well In the future, you will all contribute to our family. Now that the person has been brought back, you go to the school as soon as possible, and don’t make the gentlemen wait too long."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

A group of grandchildren, big and small, who got the promise, immediately cheered and went to the main hall.

"Grandpa, let's go into the palace. My grandson didn't even drink a sip of water after returning to Beijing." Seeing that his cousins ​​had left, Zhu Yunxi stepped forward to support the old man's arm, shaking his sleeves with a smile on his face : "Grandson has brought a lot of spoils that he has captured, and I want to give them to you."

Zhu Shangbing echoed with bright eyes: "Me too! My grandson also brought back his spoils, and I want to give them to you, grandpa."

This feeling of being full of children and grandchildren made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh out loud again and again.

As a result, the son became a worthless thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the crown prince: "Yunxi likes to drink tea, so he asked someone to brew the new tea that was tributed by Qiantang this spring. There is also chicken soup from Luzhou Prefecture, which has been stewed this morning, so it should be delivered. Brother Bing’s favorite bean sprouts, and Brother Bing’s soy pork, are all here.”

Zhu Biao, who has become the food delivery officer, is not annoyed, and nods with a smile, turns around and goes to work.

Zhu Shangbing yelled again: "Grandpa, uncle, brother Chi is still talking about Artemisia baba on the way back to Beijing, it must be fried and golden on both sides."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and knocked Zhu Shangbing on the head: "I think you want to eat."

Zhu Shangbing chuckled.

Zhu Biao, who had already walked away, turned his head and waved his hand: "There are all of them."

At this time, the grandpa and grandson had already walked to the Huagai hall.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was supported by the three eldest grandsons and brought him to the second son Zhu Xi, before Zhu Xi could show a smile, the old man immediately sullenly said, "We will settle the score with you later for what you did!"

Zhu Xi trembled all over, and when he raised his head to look at the four grandparents who had already entered the hall, his eyes were already watery, full of resentment.

to the hall.

After a while, the three of Zhu Yunxi supported the old man to sit down.

Then they each took out the spoils they picked out when they returned to Beijing from their sleeves.

Zhu Yunxi took out a handful of beads the size of a sheep's eye from his sleeve: "Grandpa, these are the trophies my grandson got in Daluo City this time. There were more, but they were not as big as before, so my grandson picked them up. If you come out, you won’t be able to wear the chain back, but you can also make it a toy object on hand.”

A pearl the size of a sheep's eye is not just something to play with.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look and found that although the number was not large, it was enough to wear a bracelet.

This thing is most suitable for a few granddaughter-in-laws to decorate when they get married.

Thinking about something in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the beads with a rosy face, and did not let Sun Gou'er come to clean them up. He carefully put them into a bag and put them in the drawer by his hand.

Then it was the turn of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing.

Zhu Gaochi took out a very simple wooden Buddha from his wide sleeve.

"Grandpa, my grandson found this in the royal palace of Daluo City. The materials used are not considered precious, but the workmanship is rather exquisite and novel, and it has been a few years old. So I wanted to bring it back for your palm."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the little Buddha with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Good things are good things, and they will be put on the gods when they turn back."

bass.

When Zhu Gaochi's gift was delivered, there was a sound of a weapon being unsheathed in the hall.

Sun Gou'er, who was standing by the side, trembled in fright, and almost called the imperial guards outside to escort him.

And Zhu Shangbing, who made a movement, had already pulled out a short knife inlaid with precious stones from its sheath, and flashed a gloomy and shining blade in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then, he put the knife back into its sheath, and put both hands in front of the old man.

"Grandpa, this is a good thing that my grandson found after searching for a long time in Daluo City. If it weren't for my grandson's sharp eyes, this thing would not have fallen into my grandson's hands."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already burst into laughter, and after a long time, he took the sword and knocked Zhu Shangbing on the head twice more.

"Better than your old man who only knows how to make trouble for us!"

Zhu Xi, who had just dispersed outside and was full of grievances, walked into the hall, and froze in place all of a sudden.

This Yingtian City, Zhu Er Er can't stay here for a day!
Before Zhu Xing was wronged again.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the hall had already seen him, slammed the table, and threw the basic memorial on the table on the ground: "Stand there as a pillar! Look, when you leave the palace with your front foot, there will be a memorial to impeach you on your back foot." Come to us!"

Zhu Xi didn't dare to make a sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard and stared coldly: "Get out of here!"

Gollum.

It was a big ball, right in front of Zhu Yunxi and the other three, it rolled round and round to the old man.

Zhu Xi, who rolled in from the entrance of the side hall, panted heavily, and took a lot of effort to get up, grinning his teeth and whispering to Zhu Yuanzhang, whose hair was full of black lines: "Father, my son is over here."

Zhu Yunxi had already turned his head to look elsewhere.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and pressed the gold bricks on the ground.

Zhu Shangbing looked at his father with his mouth open, then sighed silently, and raised his head high.

The ceiling of the canopy hall is really beautiful.

This guy is a shameless thing!
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark, he gave Zhu Xi a hard look, and let out a long sigh.

It seems that he is regretting that he is obviously heroic and his grandchildren are all outstanding, but he has such a son who is an egg.

"You bastard, stick your ass up, we all know what shit you're gonna do."

"Look at your shit! You're going to die if you do something?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was burning for a while, and he repeatedly reprimanded.

He slapped the table with a look of hatred: "Look at what the censors said. His Royal Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, our good son, good uncle of the royal grandson, actually wanted to beat the supervisor who returned to Beijing in the street. The grandson of the emperor?"

"Damn you."

"In order not to do the errand we gave you, you don't want your face?"

"You fucking did a good job!"

Zhu Xun was already stuck on the ground, and when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly raised his head, and looked eagerly at the berserk old man.

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with my mother..."

"You are presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped suppressing the anger in his heart, and the memorials on the table at hand were scattered all over the floor, and he had already stood up: "How the hell did I give birth to such a thing as you! Believe it or not, we will kill you now!"

"Father, there is a reason for what happened to the second child, and it is also excusable. After punishment, things still need to be done by people."

Just now from outside, Zhu Biao personally led a group of palace maids to deliver boxes of food, took a look at the scene in the hall, and rushed over to hold the old man.

Zhu Biao glanced at the second child who was kneeling on the ground, and persuaded the old man with a smile on his face: "Even if you want to kill the second child, you have to wait for the second child to finish everything before beheading him. The matter is now It’s not over yet, so there’s no talk of beheading.”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but his anger was softened by the prince's persuasion: "Look at what he did today, those censors almost pointed at our noses and said that we don't know how to educate our son! Let this Do something like an elder beating a younger generation!"

Zhu Biao immediately took over the words: "It's not that they didn't hit left and right, even if they did, it's nothing for the younger generation to be taught a lesson by the elders."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao did not forget to kick his son next to him.

Zhu Yunxie immediately turned his head and followed his father's way to persuade him: "Yes, grandpa. The second uncle also hasn't seen his grandson for two years. It was just a moment of excitement, so his behavior was out of place. Before his grandson left Beijing, he passed by Hangzhou Mansion. At that time, the second uncle also said that when the grandson returned to Beijing, he would try to see if his boxing skills had improved."

Zhu Xi heard this.

He also explained in a turbulent manner: "Yes, yes. That's what my son thinks, and he wants to test the school's boxing skills.

How could the son be unwilling to do things for the father? Someone must be trying to provoke the father-son relationship between the son and you.When the son turns around and finds that man, he must teach him a good lesson. "

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice, stretched out his hand to smooth the beard on the corner of his mouth, and looked at the second child in front of him: "Is it just to try fists and kicks? Is there any plan to give up on what we have explained?"

Zhu Xi raised his head, puffed out his chest, and slapped his chest loudly.

"What father told me, my son has to go through fire and water to handle it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, as if he didn't want to look at the second child any more.

Turning to look at Zhu Yunxi, the three eldest grandsons who had just returned home, a smile immediately appeared on their faces as if they had changed faces.

"Hurry up and eat."

"I haven't had a meal at home for two years."

"Look at Brother Chi, and you two, grandpa's great grandson, they are all about to lose their appearance."

"Eat quickly!"
