Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 311
Zhu Yuan woke up again, it was already dark.

The two girls next to me almost didn't remember it for a while, and I was confused for a while before I remembered...the one sent by Fang Guozhen in the afternoon, one is 'beautiful' and the other is 'Qiaoqiao'.

twin.

So I checked the cabin with great interest and found a few differences, which gave me a sense of accomplishment.

It's just that the freehand brushwork of waiting is very resentful.

It should be dinner time, my adults are weak, so don't be too messy, or it will be bad for your health.

Ok.

This is what the adults themselves said.

what else...

biological clock.

After going ashore and coming to the dining room in the west wing of the inner house, Zhu Yuan was having dinner, and Xie Yi started talking about things: "...Zhao Xu found a total of five, then... the identity information is in the Westinghouse study, my lord You can take a look later, if it doesn't work, let him look for it again..."

"Ah."

"Also, would you like to have a look at the information about the tea leaves in the lantern?"

Zhu Yuan ate a grilled quail, but he only ate one leg, so he brought over the crucian carp soup that Fang Guozhen had caught in the afternoon, and suddenly said, "Later, there are so many things that I almost forgot."

Tomorrow is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. At first, Zhu Yuan thought about sorting out the materials and then arranging a meeting.

However, it was discussed in advance at the previous "Three-Year Plan" meeting, and the next two days would not be appropriate, so let's forget it for the time being.

Wait for years.

For the tea industry, the speed of reform can only be slower than that of the salt industry.

The salt industry is very mature and the process is simple.The tea industry... the first thing is to resume production.

Ok.

Consumption also needs to be stimulated.

After all, if the production has increased, if it cannot be sold, it will be a disaster.

In addition, we must also open up the market.

Not to mention the north, it must be in a state of blockade, and it is an all-round blockade. It cannot be said that tea can be sold casually if it has nothing to do with the military. This is not the reason for an economic blockade.However, the west, the south, and overseas... can all introduce some stimulus policies.

Things like tax breaks.

Of course, these all need to be investigated and carefully considered before making a decision, and you can't beat your head.

Zhu Yuan thought about this, and Xieyi continued to talk about other things: "There is one more thing, my lord told me before...a gentleman from the Elementary School Affiliated to the University of Medicine commented on "Sketch Techniques". Today...the mother over there sent a manuscript , that gentleman has already commented in private."

Zhu Yuan was a little surprised at first, but then he expected it.

remember that...

By the way, it's called Wei Zhong.

At that time, I was casually listening outside. Those opinions, if you think about it carefully, could not be obtained casually on the spot, and they were obviously considered in private.

Interested: "I'll take a look later."

Xinyi agreed, talked about a few household chores, and then turned to tomorrow's affairs: "Sir, tomorrow... how will I post the Spring Festival couplets?"

Zhu Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Wait for me to get up, after breakfast. By the way, have you finished writing the Spring Festival couplets in other places?"

Zhu Yuan only got a pair of couplets on the gate from Lao Zhu, and some "Fu" characters, and other positions... He should have done it, but Zhu Yuan didn't have the time.

Xie Yi nodded, but still couldn't help it, and said: "My lord, this Spring Festival couplet... I still think it's better for my lord to come in person?"

Zhu Yuan smiled and gestured to the surroundings: "For such a big house, I will write it myself, and you will have no adults."

"Then..." Xieyi paused for a moment, and continued: "Then...you should invite some calligraphers to write, how can...how can you let these girls come."

"It's not good to underestimate yourself."

"No."

"I'll just say yes," Zhu Yuan intentionally showed an unhappy expression, and motioned to the young lady who was standing outside: "My dear young lady, come and stand by my side."

Qing Niang glanced at Xie Yi, obediently changed places with a certain girl, hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord...it's true...it shouldn't be."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Then change again.

One left and one right, cute and cute.

This time it was really cute.

Of course Zhu Yuan wasn't angry either, he was just helpless with these weird thoughts from the women around him.

Compared to just finding an old man to write Spring Festival couplets for his family, he is of course more willing to have the girls around him come. After all, the girls around him are very good at calligraphy... There are quite a few.

After dinner like this, I came to the study of the West House in the main hall.

When he arrived, Zhu Yuan was sitting on a low couch and flipping through the annotated "Sketch Techniques". Although there are many classical Chinese in it, it is still simple enough to bring people a lot of insights.

It's just that there is no seal or signature on this commentary book.

Zhu Yuan roughly flipped through it, and understood what the gentleman meant. He didn't force it, and only planned to pass this manuscript to his ancestors to have a look, and then print it as a new edition.

He specially wrote a page and put it in the book, intending to send He Xuan to the palace tomorrow, Zhu Yuan also turned to the thick stack of tea materials.

On the opposite side, Lantern had already sat down, but he was looking at the two girls on the left and the right of his adult with great interest.

Occasionally, Zhu Yuan raised his head and noticed the gaze of the lamp, and said with a smile: "Is it exactly the same?"

Pick up the lamp and nod: "Yes."

"It's actually different," Zhu Yuan said, "There are differences."

When these words came out, the two ladies immediately became red apples.

Picking up the lamp was a little puzzled at first, but after noticing the reaction of the two ladies, he understood.

Ok.

Definitely not the same.

My lord...the inspection was really careful.

Zhu Yuan joked, turned over the tea leaves in his hands, gestured to him, and asked the lamp: "You have collected so much, and you can also tell me that the imperial court wants to reform the tea policy, how should it be done?"

Lantern said modestly: "My lord, this is a big deal, my daughter doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "Judging from the tone, I still have an idea, let's talk about it?"

Picking up the lamp, he pursed his lips, held back a little again, and said: "My lord, when my daughter collects these and reads them... I just feel that, from generation to generation, all the things that can be thought of in the past dynasties have been thought of, but... This tea tax... Even in the same dynasty, it is high and low, with ups and downs. At first, my daughter thought it was due to different years, and the weather was always good or bad, but after looking more carefully at the classics, I found that it was not the case."

Zhu Yuan cooperated and asked, "Then why?"

Picking up the lamp, he paused for a moment and said, "My daughter thinks that if this tea policy... wants to be improved, it still needs to put more effort into human affairs."

Zhu Yuan nodded: "It's pretty good that you can think of this."

Picking up the lamp to be curious, I thought about not asking, but I still asked: "My lord, is there anything deeper?"

"Yes, and no," Zhu Yuan said, "I used to think that a good system could restrain people. However, I later found out that it was just a naive idea when I was young. After all, this world is made up of people. We people are good at Makes the system, but is also very good at breaking the system."

Picking up the lamp, he understood: "My lord is saying that... this matter... has no solution?"

Zhu Yuan was noncommittal, and said after a while: "What should be done, will be done after all. If you don't do it, you will have nothing."

Even though he said that, after the words came out, Zhu Yuan suddenly lost the interest to continue reading the materials.

Simply push it aside and look at the lantern on the opposite side instead.

The woman was wearing a set of embroidered red outerwear, a transparent crystal necklace on her white neck, and a hairstyle. After admiring it a little, Zhu Yuan asked, "What kind of bun is this?"

Picking up the lamp, he was suddenly scrutinized by his own adults, a little shy, but he stood up slightly, and said: "My lord, it's just a normal bun, my daughter didn't bother to think about it."

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Yes, the key is that the person is beautiful enough."

This is too exaggerated.

Turning on the lamp feels a little hot on the face.

Zhu Yuan hooked his hand: "Rouge is also very beautiful, come, let me taste it, if it is not sweet, I will punish you."

Picking up the lamp didn't know the logic between whether Rouge was sweet or not and punishment, so he leaned over obediently.

Zhu Yuan leaned forward and kissed the woman's ruddy and slightly cool lips, looking very satisfied: "Mm, not bad."

Chia Deng couldn't believe it, so he stuck out his tongue and licked it himself.

This……

Not sweet.

How can adults say it's good?
They all had some self-doubt, stuck out their uvula again, and kept the posture just now, forgetting to sit back.

This……

So standard.

Zhu Yuan couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand.

catch!
"Well……"

……

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the penultimate day of the first year of Hongwu, there was still fog in the morning, but Zhu Yuan did not catch it, because when he got up, the time was already close to Sizheng.

I slept a little late last night.

Ok.

Nothing else, just played the little game of 'find the difference' again.

Also let such as pick up the lamp to find together.

Then go to bed late.

After breakfast, the sun was already high, and the winter sun always seemed a little weak, but it was not the morning fog that could stop it.

Not a bad day.

When I came to the gate in person, I had carefully arranged in advance, moved the ladder, and carefully pasted the red Spring Festival couplets written by Lao Zhu. In order to show solemnity, it was the ladder that Zhu Yuan climbed himself, scaring the group from Zhao Xu to Xieyi. .

Ok.

It's just the skin, and suddenly some youthful temperament is born, and I want to climb up. ,

After posting, I found out that it seems... something is still missing.

Standing in front of the gate of his own house and looking carefully, he finally realized that the door god was missing!
However, there is also a solution to this.

Hanging peach charm.

The peach charms are engraved with the gods Tu and Yu Lei, which are the door gods of this era.

As for Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao, it was later, probably also in the Ming Dynasty. Lao Zhu promoted the red spring couplets, and gradually there were matching door gods for prints. Moreover, from the ancient Shentu and Yulei to the two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, It happened to be the credit of some romance novels of the Ming Dynasty.

This is something.

After the door is pasted, there are a few "Fu" characters.

It was Zhu Yuan who did it himself.

From the first courtyard to the innermost floor.

After posting this way, I once again found the disadvantages of my house being too big.

tired.

Don't want to move anymore.

The people around me don't want their adults to move, so the people below will post the remaining hundreds of rooms by themselves.

Although there are enough rooms in the mansion, a total of 392, but fortunately, there are enough people in the mansion.After assigning, everyone is responsible for the Spring Festival couplets in each courtyard, and soon, it will be successfully completed before noon.

After Zhu Yuan rested, he even came to the west garden to check.

Even the small pavilion on the rockery has a curtain, which is very good. Then, in the pavilion on the top of the rockery, I didn’t want to move anymore, so I just had lunch here, and Xieyi brought up yesterday’s incident again.

If you have time now, just take a look.

First, Wutong was called, and this girl didn't know if she was enlightened, so she even pulled Nuan Niang over.

Then, the five candidates identified yesterday also arrived.

Zhu Yuan looked through the profiles of the five women in advance, and of course, he immediately noticed a special one among them, Zhu Erniang.

For some reason, my first thought came to "Water Margin".

It seems... In "Water Margin", um, I don't know if there is Erniang Zhu, but I can be sure that there are several other Erniangs.

And be.

This "Water Margin" is a wonderful book, in which Pan Jinlian, the number one prostitute in ancient and modern times, was born!

Ok.

Sister Pan: Speech!
present.

Seeing the real person, the other four girls who didn't grow up are not counted. Looking at Zhu Erniang who looked restrained and hopeful, Zhu Yuan laughed and said, "You shouldn't be called Zhu Erniang, you should be called Hu Sanniang." .”

Zhu Erniang was at a loss.

The group of girls around is also unknown.

Of course it is impossible to know.

Because, seeing the woman in front of him, Zhu Yuan's first impression was that he looked a bit like Hu Sanniang in the 1998 version of "Water Margin".

He made a casual joke, seeing the woman in front of him getting more anxious, Zhu Yuan didn't tease him any more, and asked directly, "Tell me first, what do you know?"

This is a direct question to Zhu Erniang.

When the words came out, the girls around Zhu Yuan didn't notice anything, but the girls who were with Zhu Erniang were obviously surprised, because...Master Pingzhang just...seemed...just talking to this woman.

How could it be... her?
Zhu Erniang didn't react at all. Hearing Zhu Yuan's question, the woman who lowered her head looked around and realized that she was asking herself, but she hadn't reacted yet. Kneeling down softly, she said in a small voice, "I... know some spear skills, and... archery skills."

"Get up and say it," Zhu Yuan said, "This look...is very lacklustre."

Zhu Erniang agreed, tried hard, wanted to get up, but found that she couldn't pull up the strength.

The young man in front of him...is a...little prince.

Zhu Erniang thought of her elder brother dragging a broken leg to beg her former superior for this opportunity, and also thought of the relatives the family had to support, thinking of losing this opportunity, the nephew must have no money to go to school, brother She also said that if she succeeds, her girl can also enter the primary school affiliated to Jinling Medical University and become a female doctor in the future.

all of these……

Just because I couldn't stand up, I was about to disappear all of a sudden, thinking about it, Zhu Erniang couldn't hold back for a while, and started to cry.

Tears, tears, tears.

Then, he lay on the ground, covering his mouth and crying.

Zhu Yuan was very helpless.

This...why is there such a big deviation from the plot I imagined?
What I want to see is a heroine showing her heroic appearance?

God, what did I do wrong, you show me this?

It's New Year's Eve.

It's sad to see!
Being human for two lives, looking at the situation in front of me, and Zhu Erniang's body is clean, but compared to other girls in new clothes, she is an old jacket and skirt, which can be roughly imagined.

After Xieyi signaled the two girls to come forward and help Zhu Erniang up, seeing that the woman was still covering her mouth in heartbreak, Zhu Yuan waved her hand helplessly and said, "Don't cry, just stay, you have been admitted."

Zhu Erniang didn't understand the meaning of 'recruitment', but she understood the words 'leave it'.Surprised, he nodded his head vigorously, trying to stop crying, but he couldn't, and cried even harder.
