Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 307 Understandable
Probably because in the process of communication, he can always 'take' the golden finger from his own baby's 23rd generation grandson, Lao Zhu is reluctant to stop every time he starts a conversation.

In a blink of an eye it was lunch time.

stay stay.

During the meal, we continued to discuss some of the two books, and then the topic turned to others.

Just today, the Spring Festival couplets proposed by Zhu Yuan before, Lao Zhu has already distributed them, and asked the officials to post them tomorrow.

Even in this palace, there are many preparations.

It's a celebration.

Then I also asked, Zhu Yuan mentioned before, find a butcher face, and artificially create a good talk.

that pair...

Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the roots of right and wrong with one knife.

Ok.

Then, around this couplet, Song Lian also compiled an article again, probably to talk about the relevant history.

Or "Daming Monthly".

Lao Zhu had already seen it, but it happened that Zhu Yuan didn't know it yet, so he talked about it with gusto.After all, there are not many opportunities to show off with your own baby's 23rd generation grandson.

The matter of the Spring Festival couplets, in general, should start from the "peach charm" and "couplets".

Both are things that have existed for a long time.

The early peach charms are not blank, but have simple "Book of Changes" auspicious words, which are also wishes for the future. So in the Five Dynasties, Emperor Meng Chang of Later Shu, that is, the former ministers, wrote a letter asking Xia Zhu Mingsheng to imitate kowtow The one who apologized personally made the first Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival of one year.

The new year is Nayuqing, and the Jiajie is Changchun.

At that time, it was written on peach charms.

When Lao Zhu said this, he also warned that this couplet should not be used, which is bad luck, so he specially ordered Song Lian to delete this paragraph in the article, lest people imitate it.

However, I do remember.

Then, in the Song Dynasty, writing couplets on peach charms during the Spring Festival gradually became popular.

Until now.

Lao Zhu finally concluded that it is obvious that writing on red paper is more festive and easier to promote than writing on peach charms.After all, red and blue are the two most readily available colors in this era.

This year has a beginning, so next year, it will definitely be even more lively.

Talking like this, I enjoyed my lunch very much, and it was already the end of noon.

Obviously, it was because of the two account books, so I was so happy. Besides, besides the beautiful girl who picked at will, there were also all kinds of rare things brought back from the Xia Guofu treasury at the same time. Pick whatever you want.

Don't be rude.

Generally speaking, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Yuan a feeling today... probably because he drank alcohol last night, and he still hasn't fully woken up yet.

Ok.

Can understand.

Although he is an emperor, but after getting used to it carefully, he suddenly found that making money is so easy, and it is still a steady stream, unlike the one-off sale of the maritime trade company license at the beginning of the year. In the future... if it works properly, it will be every year. A million taels of income.

and.

This... is just the beginning!

In addition to the glass, it has been confirmed that there is a ceramic, a Guanjufang where the royal family also holds shares, and a commercial street that was just knocked down at noon today. In the future...

Gee!
Zhu Yuan didn't know what Lao Zhu was thinking, if he knew, he would definitely throw cold water on him.

Decades of wars have actually done a lot of damage to this land, so it is doomed that many businesses have upper limits.

Really want a steady stream, Daming still has a long way to go.

First of all, we must make our own pie bigger.

Second, expand outwards and get back as much as possible of other people's pie.

Ok.

Ok.

Still 'production' and 'distribution'!
Getting along with Lao Zhu is actually very tiring. When I got home, I wanted to rest, but unfortunately I couldn't.He was reminded as soon as he entered the door that Tu Xiao and his father Tu Bi had been waiting for half an hour.

Rush to the main hall of the outer courtyard to receive guests.

Just after entering the door, the father and son, both dressed in home clothes, stood up early and bowed to Zhu Yuan together.

Zhu Yuan hurriedly supported him: "Get up, it doesn't have to be like this."

It's a pity that Zhu Yuan couldn't move.

Tu Xiao and his son insisted on finishing the salute, and then stood up with the support of He Xuan, who Zhu Yuan signaled to step forward.

However, after getting up, compared to the fairly normal Tu Bi, Tu Xiao's eyes already had tears.

Mainly gratitude.

At the same time... there are emotions.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, the Tu family, who originally belonged to a low-level official family in Jinling City, now... a surveying and mapping envoy of the third rank, and a secretary of the fifth rank.

Because they were not at the bottom before, and they had seen the scenery in the sky, the Tu family father and son also understood better, but these two prospects, many people struggled in the officialdom for a lifetime, may not be able to achieve them.

The Tu family only used it for one year.

All of this was brought about by the young man in front of him.

Zhu Yuan didn't have so many emotions, he raised his hand and patted Tu Xiao's shoulder, and while walking towards the first position, he motioned: "Sit down, I haven't heard enough in the palace before, just tell me more about you leaving Experience after Mingzhou."

The father and son waited for Zhu Yuan to be seated before sitting down beside him.

The waiter served tea, Zhu Yuan signaled again, and Tu Xiao started talking.

When I left Mingzhou, how did I go to the north to find out the news, how did I travel on the grassland, and that extremely thrilling pursuit at Gubeikou.If it weren't for the hot air balloon scaring away the pursuers at the critical moment, I would definitely not be able to sit here today.

Then, the Quartet moved to fight. Although it was hard work, but because everyone from top to bottom protected him, he was no longer in the initial danger. He also had the mood to lead the subordinates of the Surveying and Mapping Department to draw all the way, and accumulated thousands of pictures. draft.

Tu Xiao also knew that Zhu Yuan was weak, so he didn't go into too much detail, he talked about it in general, occasionally adding some interesting things, and in just over a quarter of an hour, he gave a general idea.

Zhu Yuan kept smiling and listened to Tu Xiao's speech, and rarely interrupted. When the other party finished speaking, he drank a sip of tea before saying: "It's difficult and difficult, Yuru will succeed. You have been tempered all the way, and you have already become a big man." In the future, as long as you walk steadily, you will be a pillar of the court."

"Students... are also lucky," Tu Xiao was not complacent, and said humbly: "Just talk about what happened to Gubeikou, seeing all the robes...At that time, I felt that I might not be able to come back. Fortunately, God blesses you , and a gift from my husband, so that I can survive. After that, students also think more about many things."

Zhu Yuan glanced at Tu Bi, who was also afraid after hearing what his son said, and turned to Tu Xiao again: "Since you're back, what's your plan next?"

When Tu Xiao heard this question, he didn't answer it. Instead, he stood up solemnly and bowed his head: "Do you still want to ask sir for advice?"

Seeing his son like this, Tu Bi also quickly stood up.

"Sit down, don't hesitate to salute, you know I don't like this," Zhu Yuan waved his hand, and waited for the father and son to sit down again before saying, "I'm not one who likes to play charades with others, this year you..."

Tu Xiao continued, "25 years old."

"25 years old, so young," Zhu Yuan sighed with emotion. Although it was a bit strange for a young boy to feel so emotional, the father and son beside him thought it was very natural.Here Zhu Yuan has already continued: "I remember Su Zi wrote an article in which there is a saying of 'accumulate thickly but grow thinly'?"

Tu Xiao looked at his father.

Tu Bi was able to enter Guozixue earlier, although he was only a master of the eighth grade, but compared to himself who loves miscellaneous studies, his orthodox knowledge is still very solid.

"From Su Zi's "Jia Shuo Sending Zhang Hu" an article: My son went here to study, to be broad-minded and make appointments, to accumulate thick and thin, and I will stop here!" Tu Bi said, suddenly After a pause, he said cautiously: "Pingzhang, this...the previous few sentences are more suitable for Xiao'er."

Zhu Yuan said, "Si Ye, please tell me?"

Tu Bi recited proficiently: "My young man was also interested in learning. Unfortunately, he was the same age as my son. My son's achievement is not too early. Although I want to think that I am not enough, everyone has already assumed it. "

After Tu Bi finished reading this paragraph, Tu Xiao had already stood up on his own initiative, and still saluted, thanking his father and husband for their teaching.

After Tu Bi finished reading, Zhu Yuan only remembered this paragraph.

It fits.

Because, the general idea of ​​this paragraph is: Su Shi felt that although he was determined to study when he was young, he was unable to devote himself to studying because he was too early and was expected too much.And the following paragraph is a suggestion to my friends, I hope that the other party will not be like me. After leaving, I must continue to study and reach the level of "being broad-minded and making appointments, accumulating thick and thin".

In short, it can be said that this paragraph should all be attributed to Tu Xiao.

Zhu Yuan's odd number doesn't count. At present, a 25-year-old young man, in just one year, has been promoted from almost nothing to a third-rank official in the imperial court. This speed is really too fast.

It just so happened that the first phase of the Northern Expedition was over. When Tu Xiao came back this time, whether it was Zhu Yuan or Tu Bi, they all hoped that he could settle down and accumulate for a while.

Tu Xiao obviously understood.

When Tu Xiao sat down again, Zhu Yuan said, "You already know what your father and I mean, so tell me what you think?"

"The students read about the 'Three-Year Plan' in the "Da Ming Monthly", so it must have been written by Mr. Tu Xiao," Tu Xiao said, organizing his words a bit, before continuing: "Just now I got some advice from my father and Mr. Think, in the next three years, focus on research on surveying and mapping, and formulate various standards according to Mr.

"This idea is very good, but it will be very detailed and cumbersome. About three years may not be enough," Zhu Yuan said, "However, the direction is right."

Tu Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "That's... there is one more thing."

"Ok?"

"After the meeting this morning, General Chang stopped me and said that...he wanted me to also take a job at Jinling Military University and help him over there."

Zhu Yuan smiled.

Lao Chang got into the mood very quickly, he didn't know if he understood the "Wu Sha" thing he said casually, and he had already started to pull people.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan quickly said: "I thought about putting the surveying and mapping into the geography major. Jinling University and National University both have corresponding majors, and I wanted you to come and help. However, the Military University It’s better to be on the other side. Besides, if you don’t feel tired, all three families welcome you.”

Tu Xiao said modestly: "I'm afraid I've failed my husband's expectations."

"Heh, you have been to Mingzhou too, and you know my temperament. I am not expecting you, but I will squeeze out as much potential as you have. Of course, in my place, the capable will do more work, and the laborer will also work hard. A lot," Zhu Yuan said: "Whether it is the geography major of the two schools or the military university, the current urgent need is one, teaching materials. The next goal of your efforts is to first use what you have learned this year. , compile it into a book as soon as possible, and supply it to the students for study. If you have time, you can give them a class in person, or, in the next few years, you can take it by appointment. Of course, you don’t have to stay in Jinling all the time. Go around more, see more, on-site inspections are very important, and when the time comes, you should also bring some students with you."

Tu Xiao listened carefully and agreed one by one.

Zhu Yuan felt that he lost his energy, and wanted to serve tea to see off guests, but suddenly remembered another thing: "Also, at the prince's side, I will also talk to my ancestors when I have time, you sort out the experience of this journey, and do it well. Make a few lessons, and then give lectures to the prince."

Tu Xiao was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Yuan say this, but he nodded again without thinking too much.

On the contrary, Tu Bi obviously hesitated.

Zhu Yuan looked over and said with a smile: "Si Ye, is there anything you can't say here?"

Tu Bi still hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind, and said softly: "Pingzhang, Your Majesty... Spring and Autumn is at its peak."

It's just those four words, Tu Bi believes that someone as smart as Zhu Yuan will definitely be able to understand them.

Of course Zhu Yuan understood.

Under normal circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life, so everyone should not get too close to the Crown Prince, and even, it is best to pretend that the Crown Prince does not exist.

This is the normal way of officialdom.

The problem is that……

Lao Zhu is not a typical feudal emperor!
In fact, Zhu Yuan has been thinking about it in private.

Lao Zhu and his son, to a certain extent, are somewhat similar to Yuan Shundi and his son.

Where is it like?

It is because the father is still alive and well, and the son can't wait to take over, and also started many actions.

In the past history, Aiyou Shili Dala, the son of Emperor Yuanshun who held great power, once tried to imitate Tang Suzong's old affairs, led the army to oppress Dadu, and wanted to force Emperor Yuan Shun to abdicate early, but unexpectedly, Aiyou Shili Dala The ally I found at that time was Koko Timur.

Although Kuo Kuo supports his own self-respect, he is also loyal to the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, there was a turmoil in the clan, and Kuo Kuo led troops to escort Aiyou Shili Dala back to the capital, but stationed the army far away, and went to Beijing alone. Youshili Dala forced Emperor Yuanshun to abdicate, which was a reluctant compromise.

Later, the Ming army broke through Dadu, and Emperor Yuanshun fled north to the desert, but he still did not lose his power. It was not until he died of illness that Aiyou Shili Dala was able to ascend the throne.

Let's talk about Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao and his son.

Although Lao Zhu did not follow the advice of his ministers earlier and named the prince as the "Zhongshu Ling" who wields real power, Zhu Biao's power has increased a little bit since the tenth year of Hongwu, especially after 15 years of Hongwu. When the death of illness is hit, it will be more decentralized.

Until the 25th year of Hongwu, the government and military power were basically left to Zhu Biao, and even the clan... Hearing too much about the dissatisfaction of the sons of the vassal princes, Lao Zhu didn't want to care about it, and let the eldest son clean up .

It started with King Qin.

Then, unfortunately, no more.

In short, the two pairs of father and son in the two dynasties are not considered the typical royal father-son relationship in the feudal era. If you want to talk about it, one father is not kind and the son is not filial, and the other is kind... The son is also filial, um, probably Can form a circle of Tai Chi diagram.

Zhu Yuan's thoughts fluttered for a while, and seeing his father and son still looking at him, he withdrew his thoughts and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't say, there is a high probability that the ancestors will let Tu Xiao teach the prince a few lessons. Ha, That's it, wait for His Majesty to speak, and I won't add anything to the snake."
