Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 26
There are four dishes and one soup on the table, which are carrots, leeks, green vegetables, tofu, and water chestnut soup sprinkled with shallots.

Zhu Biao was not surprised that carrots were introduced to China from Iran in the 12th century.

At the end of the display, he stood beside him and said, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, but he is in charge of the world. You should be careful about the body of the dragon, or let's improve the food tomorrow, so we can eat better meals."

Knowing his good intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't talk about it, the people of Yangzhou can't even eat this due to the disaster, let's go down."

The table was quiet, Zhu Yan and Zhu Yu stared at the vegetables and tofu and frowned, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them a few times and said in a high voice, "Do you think the vegetables are not good?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of the rice, his face was very ugly: "Those ministers feasted on the guests, the whole pot of wine wasted, and the meat and vegetables were fed to the dogs. Do you know how long we can live on that table of food?
Three months, who thinks this dish is not good?Get out now! "

At this point, everyone who dares to get out, they all started to eat, and pretended to eat big fish and big meat.

Zhu Biao and Queen Ma ate in silence.

The matter of eating and drinking of the ministers must be the information collected by him to establish Lao Zhu's arch guard department. When it was originally established, Zhu Biao wanted to change it to Jinyiwei.

But thinking about the name, it doesn't matter, and I will change it later, and now I can set up my own science and technology academy to study agriculture with peace of mind.

Some time ago, in order to let the Zhu Biao brothers recall their sufferings, the eunuch asked the eunuch to weave hemp shoes for everyone to wear when they went out.

If it is close, walk, and if the road is far, ride a horse for more than half of the way, and walk the rest of the way.

Anyway, when you go out, you can't just ride in chariots and horses. Lao Zhu called it an exercise, walking.

The clothes of the concubines in the palace led by Empress Ma are washed and washed, and worn again and again. As long as it does not affect their dignity, they cannot change new clothes.

Except for the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Biao wore plain clothes, and when it was hot, he wore old Zhufa's shoes.

Although he is frugal in food, clothing, housing and transportation, he is very generous in studying and doing things that are beneficial to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao thinks this is very good, as his temper gets more irritable as he goes on, he has the opportunity to slowly infiltrate and influence Lao Zhu's thoughts.

After a while.

"The people of Yangzhou can't be safe, how can we be safe? The ministers can eat and drink in peace, but the emperor can't sleep and eat in peace."

After a few breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang saw no one said anything and said again: "Talk about it."

Yesterday, when I returned to Beijing to report, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the revival of Yangzhou was the first thing, and asked Zhu Biao, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Yu to eat, and that was the first thing.

Yu Yi must have told Lao Zhu about the misery of Yangzhou City.

Zhu Biao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Father, if my son is willing to go to Yangzhou, then the Daming Institute of Science and Technology can also help Yangzhou and promote the development of Yangzhou."

Hearing that his son dared to bear the burden and was not a cowardly person, he said, "You can go with us tomorrow."

Empress Ma put down the bowls and chopsticks after hearing this: "Chong Ba, Yangzhou is ruined, and the common people eat grass roots and tree bark. I will take the harem sisters to pick some wild vegetables outside the city and bring them back to Yangzhou."

Wild vegetables can't relieve anxiety, but this is also Empress Ma's wish. Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.

The spring was thick, and when Lao Zhu left, he asked Zhu Biao and the others to stay and help Empress Ma open up a few more vegetable fields.

At sunset, Empress Ma returned with her harem women.

Zhu Biao stood aside and watched.

Those female family members nodded slightly when they saw Zhu Biao, and each of them carried a small bamboo basket in their hands, and the basket contained unknown wild vegetables.

The maids and eunuchs next to Queen Ma began to help weigh and record, and narrated what they saw and heard when they dug wild vegetables separately.

"Concubine Zhang Shu, one or two wild vegetables."

Empress Ma nodded and said, "My sister saw and heard everything today."

Concubine Zhang Shu put down the basket and said: "Ma'am, I went to the north of the city. There is a family there who collect firewood for a living. They said that the Laifu Restaurant in Taipingmen doesn't give money for nothing."

Empress Ma said to the maid: "Remember this quickly."

Then he said to Concubine Zhang Shu: "My sister is pregnant and tired. I shouldn't let you go today. If there is a mistake, I can't explain it to the emperor."

"Thank you, empress, it is also a good thing to go out for a walk, so as not to have a difficult child."

"Go back and rest."

"Thank you, Empress."

"He Zhaoyi has a catty of wild vegetables."

The maid wrote down that He Zhaoyi came over and said with a smile, "Madam, I went to the south side of the city. There is a family member who makes wine. They say that the Lucky Restaurant doesn't pay for the wine. The old man's son goes to collect debts. If the restaurant doesn't pay back, he will give you a discount." The son's leg."

"Liu Cairen, one or two wild vegetables."

The maid said yes, write it down.

Empress Ma frowned and looked at the delicate Liu Cairen, "I said sister, you are not pregnant, why do you have this wild vegetable?"

Liu Cairen twisted his handkerchief and said, "I want to report to Empress Qi, you said that everyone should care about people's lives besides digging wild vegetables. Others are one thing. I know two things!"

Empress Ma nodded and said, "Well, two things, let's talk about it quickly."

Liu Cairen said: "I passed by the bazaar by the bridge in the capital, the place is so crowded with people, it's even more lively than singing a big opera.

Then Li Bin begged the daughter of the family to be a concubine. The old father and mother of the woman knelt on the ground and begged Li Bin.The parents didn't dare to cry, they only persuaded their daughter to live a good life. "

"Well, keep talking." Empress Ma's face darkened.

"People say that Li Bin has married a 28th wife and concubine."

Empress Ma said coldly to the maid next to her, "Remember, how does this Li Shanchang manage his nephew?"

The last one was a girl with delicate features, she walked up to Empress Ma and said, "Empress Madam, I haven't picked any wild vegetables."

"Zhou Qingru, don't you want to stay in the palace and serve people?"

The girl named Zhou Qingru nodded and shook her head.

After the women in the harem left, Empress Ma pointed to the girl and said, "The day this little girl entered the palace, she was crying and crying, so I didn't let her go to the harem, and stay by my side to serve tea and water."

Zhu Biao knew what it meant, he must have been chosen by Lao Zhu to enter the palace, it is estimated that Empress Ma looked pitiful and stayed by his side.

Zhou Qingru?How can this person remember where he heard it, but now he can't remember it after thinking about it.

"Biao'er, what are you thinking? My mother told you something. This Li Bin took advantage of Prime Minister Li's power to forcefully marry a commoner girl on the street in broad daylight. You should pay attention to this matter."

When Zhu Biao was wondering why she didn't tell Lao Zhu, Empress Ma saw his doubts and explained: "Your father always protects Li Shanchang and Li Bin, and mother can only tell you about this matter, understand."

Zhu Biao nodded and asked people to pack the wild vegetables to be taken to Yangzhou in bamboo baskets.

Because the three treasures were sent to the navy.When I set off the next day, I only brought Yu'er.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he only took a maid, so he asked him to choose someone who was idle.

Lao Zhu selected Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and Li Bin by name, and brought Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang and Mu Ying with them.

Zhu Biao asked Song Lian and Jin'er to temporarily manage the materials sorting of the Academy of Science and Technology, and not to stop the work of the craftsmen.

Song Lian is sometimes pedantic, but he agrees with things that are beneficial to the people of Ming Dynasty.

"Just him." Zhu Biao pointed to Yang Xian who had no position.

Zhu Biao's selection of Yang Xian did not mean that he wanted Yang Xian to govern Yangzhou, but that he wanted to support and train Yang Xian so that he, a cruel official, would fight against Hu Weiyong.

When necessary, Yang Xian can also help him eliminate some enemies on the road of reform.

After packing up, the group set off for Yangzhou.
