Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 289
Two days later, Zhu Zhanqian received the imperial decree and was about to set off. Chen Xinyue was an obedient daughter-in-law. These days, she was doing her best for her mother-in-law's long-term heirs, striving to give birth to a fat son for Zhu Zhanqin as soon as possible.

The things had been packed a long time ago, and Zhu Zhanqian didn't plan to bring more things, so he packed lightly, got into the carriage and rushed to the train station.

He has two routes. After crossing the canal, go to Yingtian to meet his eldest brother, learn about the current situation before going to Hangzhou, or take Tianjin Shipping directly to Hangzhou.

Because the canal was busy, the speed was slow instead, and there was nothing special about going to Yingtian first, so Zhu Zhanqian chose to go directly by sea. Regarding Hangzhou Mansion, the current situation of King Han asked the officials to report on the boat.

At the train station heading to Tianjin, it was Xia Yuanji who came to see Zhu Zhanqian off, and he was also the one who picked up Zhu Zhanqian before.

"Xia Shangshu, I have explained everything clearly. It is cold and you are getting old. Go back and rest early."

"Your Majesty has an order, and it must be delivered to His Highness until he boards the train."

At this time, a majestic train came, this is not an ordinary train, its appearance is dark and its front is like a lion, which is especially fierce.

"This is?"

"This is my special train for Zhujiang County King. I ordered someone to build it before, but it has never been used. At that time, my title was still Zhujiang County King. I will change my name next time."

Xia Yuanji looked at the majestic train with a little envy. Zhu Zhanqian was not a high-profile person, but every act he pretended was outstanding.

The Pearl River County King special train attracted the attention of other people waiting for the train at the train station, and the name "Fujian" was written on the body.

This made Xia Yuanji a little puzzled. Zhu Zhanqian was in Guangzhou, and his title at that time was also Zhujiang County King. How could the special train be called Fujian, so he raised a question.

Zhu Zhanqian laughed and said, "Xia Shangshu, my special train has a total of six sections, which can be divided into groups. The Fujian number you are looking at is a dining car."

Xia Yuanji nodded half-understood.

Zhu Zhanqian got on the train, looked at Chen Xinyue wiping her tears with a handkerchief from the window, and felt distressed. The two officially got together and separated more. This time, Alia was also taken with him. After all, this is his personal bodyguard. it works.

The train moved slowly, and Zhu Zhanqian set off.

Yu Qian was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking curiously at the special train of the Prince of the Pearl River, which has a separate dining car, toilet, bed, and a large hanger, like a mobile palace, very luxurious.

"Yu Qian came to drink, this is good wine."

"Your Highness, I'm on business, so I don't want to drink anymore." He said so, but Yu Qian swallowed when he smelled the wine.

"It's not like I'm going to see my second uncle today. It's okay to drink some wine."

Yu Qian also felt that what Zhu Zhanqian said made sense, so he drank it.

"Your Highness, this special train of yours is too extravagant. This extravagant style...is not good." Yu Qian drank some wine, which was comparable to that of Lord Han, and he got a little overwhelmed after a while.

"You don't understand this. You have to spend the money you earn to make the money in the market continue to circulate. What am I telling you? You are a scholar and don't understand economics."

"I understand."

"What the hell, times are developing and society is progressing. If you want Daming to become more and more prosperous, rich people have to spend money constantly, so that more industries can be bred and more jobs created."

"Your Highness, this is the first time I've heard someone talk about extravagance and extravagant living in such a dignified way, and even have a sense of serving the country and the people. I admire you."

Zhu Zhanqian patted Yu Qian on the shoulder and said, "I knew you didn't understand. You know that if this special train develops and is sold to rich people everywhere, it will not only provide thousands of jobs, but even the railway system can make money." Pay some money, you are reading a book by a sage, and the book contains the principles of governing the country for the people, and I also have it here."

"I ask Your Highness for advice, your salary is your salary, the people anoint the people, and the money specially listed is not the hard-earned money of the people."

"It's shallow, it's shallow, I don't talk about the text in the book, I'm not your opponent, you can speak well, I don't talk to you, you go and see what the people in Guangzhou are living, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth .”

Yu Qian was startled by Zhu Zhanqian's words, and the alcohol dissipated in an instant, and he muttered repeatedly: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

He looked at Zhu Zhanqian in shock, and what seemed to be a casual remark was a warning to the world.

There are many truths in the book, but can these truths really help the people of Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Zhanqian seems to be extravagant, even sometimes extravagant and absurd, and his reputation outside is not good. Before, he insisted on such absurd remarks that people are derived from monkeys, which made many people think that he is a bit crazy.

But as he fought together, Yu Qian knew that he was in charge of military affairs, government affairs were in good order, and he cared more about people's livelihood than anyone else wherever he went. His Whampoa University students started the war, and they were all practical, not like The officers who accompanied the army had only lip service.

This Highness is extremely pragmatic.

The sentence just now that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth made Yu Qian feel enlightened, as if he had found the way forward.

"Your Highness, when this matter is over, can I have my minister visit your Nanhai University and Whampoa Military University?"

"Of course, all board and lodging is included." Zhu Zhanqian immediately agreed.

Yu Qian is willing to go, but Zhu Zhanqian can't ask for it. This is an official of the dynasty, and he is Yu Qian.

We boarded the boat from Tianjin, and the journey was uneventful.

When they arrived in Hangzhou Mansion, Black Snake Ji and the others were on alert.

Before, Zhu Zhanqian sent a letter to Zhu Gaoxu saying that he was coming. Zhu Zhanqin looked relaxed, but the others were not relaxed. Now he is his own person, but he is wary and fearful of King Han.

Yu Qian was also nervous.

Zhu Zhanqian looked at the ferry, surrounded by the army of the King of Han, but he looked calm and walked down swaggeringly.

Black Snake Ji held Zhu Zhanqin back: "Your Highness, be careful."

"Don't worry, my second uncle hopes that nothing will happen to me more than anyone else." Zhu Zhanqian knew that Zhu Gaoxu would never do anything to him.

Because Zhu Gaoxu won't get any benefit from attacking him. Although he is a powerful prince, killing him will not change the situation, and will make the whole country attack him. It's too late for him to win over Zhu Zhanyi.

Zhu Zhanqian stepped off the boat, and the Prince of Han personally greeted him at the port with a smile on his face and a much longer beard than before.

When the two met, there was no sense of tension at all. Zhu Gaoxu put his arm around Zhu Zhanqin's shoulder and laughed loudly: "You kid hasn't come to see Second Uncle for so long."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu hugging Zhu Zhanqian's shoulder, Black Snake Ji nervously put her hand on the knife. If Zhu Gaoxu had a weapon hidden in her body and wanted to kill Zhu Zhanqian at such a close distance, even if she was as skilled in martial arts as she was, she would definitely not be able to stop it in time.

Fortunately, the two chatted very happily, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any intention of endangering Zhu Zhanqian.

"I've been in Dongying for more than a year. I'll visit my second uncle as soon as I come back, and my daughter-in-law didn't stop me."

"Hahaha." Zhu Gaoxu smiled wildly: "Your boy came here under your father's order, I tell you..."

Zhu Gaoxu turned the matter to the main topic, but unexpectedly Zhu Zhanyan interrupted him immediately: "Second Uncle, it's my first time to come to Hangzhou Mansion after a long journey, let's not talk about the rest, I'm a little hungry, take me to eat OK."

Everyone didn't expect Zhu Zhanqian to divert the business by himself.

Whoever comes to talk about business, doesn't sing songs, doesn't drink wine, pats his thighs to make decisions, is a mature man.

This is not right for Zhu Gaoxu's temper, Zhu Gaoxu has already arranged it.

"The West Lake is beautiful. When you come to Hangzhou, you must go to the West Lake. I have already prepared a banquet for you on the side of the West Lake. Let's go now."

Zhu Gaoxu then let the carriage set off with Zhu Zhanqian, and he also found Yu Qian among the visiting crowd.

"How did you bring him here?"

"He is a native of Hangzhou Prefecture, let him be a guide." Zhu Zhanqian's nonsense is always from such a tricky angle.

On the carriage to the West Lake, Black Snake Ji asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the King of Han just wanted to talk to you about the current situation when we met. This is also the purpose of your coming to persuade you to surrender. Why did you interrupt on purpose?"

"I'm here to persuade you to surrender. Second Uncle naturally knows that he is a straight-tempered person, with a general character, straight to the point. When we meet, he tells him that he wants to talk. The more he wants to talk, the more I can't talk to him so quickly. "

"What's the point?"

Zhu Zhanqian pinched Black Snake Ji with a slight smile: "It makes sense."

West Hunan, west, and north are surrounded by mountains. In the middle of the lake, Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Yanggong Causeway, and Zhaogong Causeway divide the lake surface into several water surfaces. In the early Ming Dynasty, the West Lake gradually became flat fields, and the water was blocked.

Later, due to economic development, the Hangzhou government restored the West Lake, and now it has become a beautiful place.

The main humanistic atmosphere of West Lake was left over from the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty established Hangzhou as its capital and brought prosperity.

You can doubt the strength of the people of the Song Dynasty, but you cannot doubt the aesthetics of the people of the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu took Zhu Zhanqian onto the cruise ship on the West Lake. It was almost dusk at this time, and the lights on the shore could be seen from the cruise ship.

Not far from the West Lake is the Imperial Street of the Southern Song Dynasty. After re-renovation, it has become the most important business center in Hangzhou Prefecture, and it is brightly lit even at night.

"Second Uncle, Hangzhou Mansion is really a good place. It has both the beauty of natural scenery and the connotation of humanistic heritage. It's beautiful."

Zhu Gaoxu leaned on the railing and said: "The orchid buds at the foot of the mountain are short and dipped in the stream, the sandy road between the pines is clean and mud-free, and the rain crows in the twilight. Who knows that there is no less life? The water in front of the door can still go west! Don't sing the white hair to the yellow chicken."

Zhu Zhanqian looked at him in astonishment: "Second Uncle, what's going on, why did you start reciting poems in a polite way?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed at himself: "Perhaps he is old."

"Second Uncle is in his prime, still young."

"You are called young, you are not even 20 years old, and someone like me is considered an old lady."

"Second Uncle, this description is not quite right." Zhu Zhanqin's face twitched, but he didn't expect Second Uncle to use this adjective.

Zhu Gaoxu is not so particular.

"Zhan Yan, how did you think about the suggestion that the second uncle gave you?" Zhu Gaoxu got back to business.

"Which time?" Zhu Zhanqian didn't know which time Zhu Gaoxu was talking about. After all, Zhu Gaoxu had sent so many letters to Zhu Zhanqian.

"Just for the last time, I propose that we take the Yangtze River as the boundary and draw the river to govern. Your father and your eldest brother are in the north, and we join hands in the south. Although we only have coastal Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong San Francisco, rely on our strength. As long as we work together to take down the South, it will not be a problem. Just think about the last time the two of us joined forces to fight the Western Regions. I have never fought so happily, and you and I are the best partner." Zhu Gaoxu talked to the West Lake.

But there is one thing he said is the truth, as long as Zhu Zhanqian nods, this plan is likely to succeed, Zhu Gaoxu is good at fighting, and has many elite soldiers and generals, but he is not good at logistics, and even weaker in managing government affairs. He needs a Zhu Zhanqin This kind of people.

It is really possible to use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to rule the river.

But the crime of dividing China will accompany them forever.

It is absolutely impossible to rule by river.

"Second Uncle, this is not acceptable. I'm not betraying my own father. How will history books write about me in the future."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a little disdain: "History books? The literati who read history books are all fools. Take dad as an example, these people can only say that Emperor Yongle's kingdom is not right, and they must not follow Yongle's prosperity. Never distinguish between right and wrong."

"Second Uncle, you're extreme."

"I will learn from the old man and conquer the world, and then there will be a prosperous Han Dynasty. If you read the history books, will it be written that I rebelled, and will the common people say that I am a fool?"

I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu sees this matter very thoroughly, and these things are largely result-oriented.

It is obviously impossible to persuade Zhu Gaoxu from the perspective of national righteousness and personal honor.

"Second uncle, let's start the meal." Zhu Zhanqian didn't say much, and urged the meal to start.

All of a sudden, long-legged beauties walked into the cabin, all of them tender and charming.

You can question Lord Han's character, but you can always trust Lord Han's aesthetics.

This quality is obviously carefully selected. In such a situation where the two armies are at war, and the King of Han often has to go to Yingtian Mansion to shout and scold, he can still spare time to choose this beauty. His time management ability is also very strong.

"Second Uncle, you are enjoying singing and singing every night in Hangzhou Mansion. I think you are very happy. These beauties are even better than those in the capital."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled charmingly: "What do you know, it's not that your elder brother is in Yingtian Mansion, he just imitated your father's prudence, and he made rectification when he went there. Didn't they all escape to Hangzhou Mansion, do you think he is stupid or not? Girls just want to eat, so how could they become a big villain in his eyes? If you really have the ability, you can let everyone have enough to eat, and every family can live and work in peace and contentment. Do it."

It seems that apart from having a thorough understanding of history, Lord Han also has a thorough understanding of this aspect.

"The King of Han's words are wrong." At this time, Yu Qian couldn't bear to listen to him, stood up, and said that he had rejected Zhu Gaoxu.

"Drag out and feed the fish."
