The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 102 Killing three birds with one stone

The top class likes to drink baijiu, and soon all classes will like baijiu.

For example, the ruling class in the late Jin Dynasty liked tobacco. After entering the customs, tobacco quickly spread to all walks of life in the country. This has been true since ancient times.

The advent of the railway will change people's living habits.

Zhu Gaochi decided to take the lead.

There are many female relatives and women from various families in the palace. Zhu Gaochi is devoted to industry and seeks great things, and the original owner is still young, so he doesn't care about the affairs of men and women.

He and his younger brothers studied at the husband's place, and were about to try to contact the children of various families. The younger sisters dragged the eldest sister to find him, with shame on their faces.

The third sister pushed the eldest sister, and the sixth and seventh sisters kept laughing.

"Is there anything for us to do?" Zhu Gaochi asked proactively.

The identity of the eldest brother is not what it used to be.

Already able to take care of the affairs of the palace and be half of the family.

Zhu Yuying was anxious and shy, always embarrassed to speak, and finally the third sister couldn't bear it and told her elder brother, "Yuan Rong is here."

"Yuan Rong?" Zhu Gaochi was at a loss and couldn't remember it all at once.

Who is this person?

There is an endless stream of people visiting the palace every day, including scholars who have self-recommended themselves, officials from all over the country, nobles and generals from the Beiping Dusi and Weisuo.

There is also the exchange of favors between the nobles of various families. In short, there are never enough horse posts at the gate of the palace.

"Big Brother." Zhu Yuying called out shyly.

Seeing the appearance of the elder sister, Zhu Gaochi realized that Yuan Rong was the future husband that his father and elder sister were looking for.

The crown prince died of illness, and the affairs of the two families also stopped. Three years later, Zhu Yuanzhang will be the crown prince princess.

The eldest sister and the third younger sister, including myself, were granted the title of princess and son respectively before the eldest sister married Yuan Rong.

Zhu Gaochi had never seen Yuan Rong before, and he didn't know his character.

But if Zhu Di can fancy this person, he must have good character.

This person was born as a concubine, but he married Yan Wang's eldest daughter. In the novel, that is a proper template for the protagonist.

"Do you want us to go and see him and come back and tell you?"

"Eldest sister's future husband, my father said yes, but my father is different from what we think. Brother, see if it is like what my father said, he is really a good-looking talent."

Zhu Yuying was too shy to speak for a long time, and she could no longer see the demeanor of her elder sister, so her third sister Zhu Yuegui spoke for her generously.

The eldest sister is kind to herself, and Zhu Gaochi is willing to help with this.

In terms of interpersonal skills, Zhu Gaochi doesn't think he is better than the ancients, and they rely on this to make a living.

Zhu Di's talent in this area even crushed himself.

So Zhu Gaochi is very clear about his position.

He doesn't care about the mess outside, because it doesn't bring much effect to him at the current stage.

He only stared at industry and took control of industry in his hands.

It is the father and son soldiers who go to battle, division of labor and cooperation, and each exerts its strengths.

So even if he learned that Yuan Rong came to visit, Zhu Gaochi was not very interested. As long as his identity was secure, the world's talents would naturally come to him.

The nobles of each family should take the initiative to curry favor with him, not him to curry favor with the nobles of each family.

"Let's go meet Eldest Sister."

"Don't reveal your secrets." Zhu Yuegui reminded.

"rest assured."

Zhu Gaochi changed direction and walked towards the living room.

in the living room.

There were five or six people on the grand master's chair drinking tea, waiting for King Yan to summon them. Among them were two young people, who could not be identified as Yuan Rong.

"Who is Yuan Rong?"

Several people heard the voice and looked over, only to see a young man standing carelessly at the door of the living room.

An important place in the palace, so willful, he must be the son of the palace.

And the Wangfu's rules are very strict, and the one who can be so imposing by calculating his age is naturally the famous eldest son of Beiping Mansion.

"Next is Yuan Rong."

A young man stood up, bowed his hands respectfully and replied.

"You are Yuan Rong."

Zhu Gaochi looked at him twice, and saw that the other party was neither respectful nor humble. He had the bookish spirit of a scholar and a strong physique.

Makes a good first impression.

Yuan Rong was also very curious.

This dynasty has been established for more than [-] years, and the top nobles are related to each other by marriage, and so is their Yuan family.

For example, today's saint's nephew Li Wenzhong, his legitimate son is the elder sister of the mansion he married.

But the eldest son is a little different.

He is not very keen on the contact between Xungui's children, but he is the eldest son of King Yan, and he is very famous now.

Many honorable children want to rely on it, but they have no chance.

"You came with us and disturbed everyone." Zhu Gaochi waved, and then greeted the rest of the people.

Yuan Rong followed without hesitation.

The few people who stayed at the scene stood up and returned the salute one after another.

After a while, the living room regained its tranquility, but it lost the lively interest in the conversation just now.

"The one just now must be the eldest son?"

"should be."

"That's right." The man explained that before the princess went to the temple to burn incense, and when the palace was traveling, he had seen young masters riding horses from afar.

Everyone looked envious and did not continue the conversation.

Everyone knows that the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion, although he is only 14 years old, is no longer a child, but a noble person worthy of attention.

The matter of Yuan Rong's family and Wangfu's family has spread to some extent.

This person is just a concubine, and he is extremely lucky to be able to marry the eldest daughter of Prince Yan's mansion, with a promising future.

"What's the matter with you coming to the palace?"

"Back to the eldest son, I'm ordering by my father to ask King An Yan." Yuan Rong said politely.

Zhu Gaochi understood.

That is to say, there is nothing serious about it, but it is just a normal movement between nobles.

Yuan Rong's father, Yuan Hong, was a founding hero.

If one only looked at his father's relationship, he would be worthy of the Prince Yan's Mansion, as the in-laws of the two families belonged to the right family.

But Yuan Rong is a bastard.

Bastard.

Cannot inherit the title, in other words, the bastard has no rights.

"You can be valued by your father. Of course, we have no doubts about your character. Yan Wang's mansion is different from other families outside."

Zhu Gaochi said slowly.

Yuan Rong lowered his hands, as if listening.

"There are some families out there who only care about concubines, but they don't know that they are quite short-sighted. However, Prince Yan's House values ​​people's character and talent. Since the father values ​​you, he will naturally cultivate you. You must not keep your original intentions, and don't miss this opportunity."

"Thank you for your teaching, Eldest Young Master."

Zhu Gaochi nodded, "We have a good impression of you, come back to the house more often, we will be a family in the future, don't see outsiders."

This person is not only the son-in-law of King Yan's Mansion, but also made a lot of contributions to Zhu Di in the battle of Jingnan in the future.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't care about these things. To be precise, he didn't focus on these things.

Because this is what happened in history, and it is Zhu Di's role.

Even if I participate, there will be no better results. On the contrary, after participating, in case there is a reaction, it is called superfluous.

The reason why he agreed to the eldest sister was not only because the elder sister took care of him, but also because Yuan Hong later stood on the side of the third child.

Zhu Di set an example with his sons.

Not only is the second eldest Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who has rebellion written all over his forehead, but the third eldest Zhu Gaosui has attracted a large number of honorable cronies without showing his face.

Among them was Yuan Hong.

To prepare for a rainy day, of course Zhu Gaochi had to get in touch first, to get ahead of the third child, just like trying to win over Qiu Fu, and to catch all the talents in the entrainment of the second and third child first.

In the future, the civil and military generals under the command of King Han and King Zhao will all be his cronies. Let's see what confidence they have to develop ambitions.

Yuan Rong didn't know Zhu Gaochi's thoughts, but only knew that Zhu Gaochi was the hottest eldest son of the Yan Palace.

When I met the Eldest Young Master today, even though his personality was relatively mild, he spoke generously and had his own bearing, so he really shouldn't be underestimated.

"We haven't had any contact with the children of other families for many months, and we miss them very much. I wonder if you would like to do us a favor and contact us."

"Of course I would."

This is a good opportunity, Yuan Hong fully agreed.

"Recently, we made a new thing called the railway. Everyone, come and try it. Instead of riding a horse, take a horse-drawn train and go to Fangshan for a tour."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Yuan Hong immediately understood what the eldest son meant.

If there is something good at the top, the bottom must attack it.

Although Zhu Gaochi is not Yuan Hong's boss, in the circle of noble children, whoever has a high status in the family is the core.

The sages say that King Yan of the Northern Territory is number one.

Naturally, in the whole north, the eldest son of King Yan is No. 1 in the circle of noble children.

"When will the eldest son be free?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Yuan Hong patted his chest and promised that he would definitely call for noble children from various families in the future.

He certainly does not have this appeal.

Although the Yuan family's status is not bad, but he is just a bastard.

But Zhu Gaochi is different.

In the name of the eldest son, whoever's son dares not to come, not only will he not shirk, but will respond positively.

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with Yuan Hong's performance and didn't let himself bother.

"Go back, so as not to delay your father calling you."

"The great love of the eldest son, I will remember it in my heart." Yuan Rong cupped his hands, thanked him a few words, and then left.

Zhu Gaochi returned the same way, not only the eldest sister expressed hope, but the other younger sisters were also full of curiosity and asked questions in one go.

"He is good-looking and has a good personality. He is a good son-in-law. Congratulations to my eldest sister on her happy marriage." Zhu Gaochi joked.

"whee."

Several sisters covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhu Yuying blamed her elder brother with a glance, her face flushed.

According to his past temperament, seeing that the girls have nothing else to do, Zhu Gaochi will not stay, he has a lot of things to do.

In King Yan's mansion, there are not only sisters at home, but also many daughters from outside, who are cousins ​​or halls, who walk through the door, or stay temporarily.

There are many Yingying and Yanyan, the daughter town that can kill people's hearts the most.

"Elder Sister, we invite the children of various families to travel in the future. Are you interested? Yuan Hong will also go."

"Yes, yes."

Before Zhu Yuying replied, the other younger sisters rushed to agree for the elder sister.

"I'm afraid my mother won't agree."

"Let's convince my mother that since she and her father knew each other before marriage, there is no reason not to let the eldest sister meet her future husband-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand.

In the past, he had a high status and little power, and he didn't have the strength to make such guarantees. Now he dares to break many things with his own hands.

This is the confidence brought about by the change in strength.
