Chapter 117 The First Engineering Brigade of the Ming Dynasty is online!
"Why have you never tasted this dish before?"
"Yeah, I've never tasted the spiciness or the sweet and sour taste of these dishes. It seems completely different from the ones I've eaten on weekdays!"
"."
In an instant, everyone's chopsticks speeded up unconsciously.
Compared with these people, the old Zhu family who had tasted all kinds of dishes made by Zhu Zhanji for a long time, although they were also surprised by some of the dishes, they were much calmer.
After all, with the hot pot meal before, I was somewhat prepared in my heart.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who was sitting at the first table of the banquet, tasted the taste of this dish again, and immediately couldn't help saying: "This kid, I really enjoy it every day. I have a good taste. I eat these delicacies every day. No wonder before Tell him to stay at the house for dinner, but he is in a hurry to leave."
The youngest Zhu Gaosui also sighed: "Try this sweet and sour pork ribs, it really tastes different."
Even the old man couldn't help asking the people around him: "Who made this banquet today, I don't remember anyone in this palace who can do this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Quan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the dishes cooked today are all brought from outside by His Highness Taisun. I heard that it is a restaurant in the city called Huixianju."
"His Highness Taisun opened it himself. It hasn't officially opened yet. I think it's almost a few days ago."
"Oh!?" Zhu Di was taken aback when he heard this.
Then after thinking about it, I understood what was going on.
Immediately looking at the prince Zhu Gaochi, the second child and the third child at the table, they said, "This kid is reluctant to spend money, and he is still thinking about using this big wedding to make his restaurant famous."
Apparently, the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side also saw his kid's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This kid just has a brain."
The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, also said: "As my second uncle, I have never seen this kid do business at a loss."
Seeing what the family said, the old man suddenly laughed.
The old man Zhu Di immediately said to Zhao Quan beside him: "Go, call that kid over to toast his father and a few uncles."
Hearing this, Zhao Quan hurriedly turned to look for Zhu Zhanji.
After a while.
Zhu Zhanji walked over slowly.
After taking the wine glass handed over by the eunuch, he said to the old man, father and two uncles in the field: "Grandpa, father, second uncle and third uncle, Zhanji respects you!"
But after hearing this, the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was the first to say with a smile: "There are four or five of us, why don't you toast to fool things?"
As soon as the second child finished speaking, the old man laughed when he saw the uncle teasing his nephew.
But Zhu Zhanji was not polite, picked up a glass of wine and said: "Since the second uncle has said so, let's pay respects separately!"
But just after Zhu Zhanji toasted the old man's first glass of wine, the old man frowned suddenly: "Stinky boy, what kind of wine are you? It's strong enough!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly laughed.
Just kidding, my big marriage will make everyone feel better?
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the wine used by the royal family was rice wine.
This stuff is good as long as it is good, but the key point is that Zhu Zhanji is really not used to drinking it.
The taste is too strong.
So not long after he came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji produced a light-flavor liquor according to the modern special wine-making process.
Of course, it is also because Zhu Zhanji in his previous life lived in the north, and the taste of Xinghua Village seems to have been carved into his bones.
"Grandpa, this is the liquor developed by grandson himself, please try it."
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, everyone present frowned.
Liquor
The impression in the minds of people in this era is equivalent to stinky wine.
It is specially given to those who cannot afford alcohol, such as coachmen and boatmen.
Now that the grandson is getting married, the people present are not the dignitaries, but the important ministers above the current court, as well as the emperor's relatives.
Just give them liquor?
"Stinky boy, you are too frugal, aren't you?"
Obviously, the old man Zhu Di was a little unhappy.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't care at all, and said, "Grandpa, don't care whether it's white wine or yellow rice wine, you should taste it first and see how grandson's wine compares with the royal wine of the court."
Everyone present is a wine lover. If you tell others, you may not be able to tell what the wine is like, but if you tell them to taste
That's not something that can be fooled by just a few words.
Immediately, the old man Zhu Di and the crown prince Han Wang Zhao Wang raised their wine glasses one after another and smelled the aroma of the wine.
For a moment, the moment they smelled the aroma of the wine, everyone headed by the old man Zhu Di frowned.
The wine has a mellow aroma, not as good as rice wine, and has an extra medicinal taste.
But a faint fragrance filled the air.
Look at that white wine color again.
It gives people a feeling of Jiutian Qiongniang, which is completely natural.
This is especially true when pouring it into the white porcelain cup in front of you.
At this point, everyone was a little surprised.
If you look at it from these points alone, it seems to be a bit unusual.
Immediately, while everyone looked at each other in doubt, they poured a glass of wine into their mouths one after another.
The wine enters the mouth, very moist!
Swallowing it down is also very smooth.
There is still a fragrance in the mouth.
But until the wine entered the abdomen, in an instant, a burst of warmth exploded in the chest and abdomen.
Spit out in one breath.
Fragrant.
Because the feeling was completely different from the wine he drank in the past, Zhu Di, who was affected by emotions, didn't taste anything at all.
But with this careful tasting, it became clear in an instant why this kid dared to take out baijiu at the wedding banquet.
"It looks docile, and the entrance is soft, but once it enters the abdomen, it's like a dragon that overwhelms the river, strong! Good wine! Good wine!"
The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was the first to say in surprise.
For men in the army and martial arts practitioners like them, although rice wine has many benefits, Zhu Zhanji's baijiu still has its own unique features.
The old man, the old man and the youngest Zhao Wang were on the side.
It's also full of aftertaste.
Seeing their expressions, Zhu Zhanji still reminded him friendly: "No matter how good the wine is, don't be greedy. Don't blame grandchildren, sons, and nephews for not reminding you."
Although they were very satisfied with Zhu Zhanji's liquor, everyone smiled disdainfully when Zhu Zhanji said so.
After Zhu Zhanji toasted again, he turned around and left the table, and went to other tables to toast one by one.
Although he is a grandson, after all, the visitor is a guest. At this time, he should go to each table to toast and thank him for his support. That is also what he should do.
During Zhu Zhanji's toast, many people present were also surprised to say that today's wine and food are both unique.
And Zhu Zhanji also took the trouble to kindly ask not to drink too much.
But even so, when the banquet was coming to an end.
Just what Zhu Zhanji saw by himself, more than a dozen people were carried down.
You must know that these people present today are all of unusual identities, which one has less social dinners and banquets on weekdays.
It can be seen that the amount of alcohol is not normal.
But to make them drink like this in such a formal occasion shows the power of that liquor.
Not only them, but also his second and third uncles, if Zhu Zhanji's father Zhu Gaochi hadn't been around and kept dissuading him, he would probably be drinking and lying down now.
But even so, his face was full of drunkenness at the moment.
Looking at the smiles on their faces, it can be seen that they are also very happy.
After a day of fun, at dawn, what should come will still come.
It will not change in the slightest because of yesterday's fun.
The soldiers and horses are still practicing, and the Huixianju in the capital has also opened.
After the publicity that Zhu Zhanji had prepared in advance, although the price of food and drinks at Huixianju was much higher than that of other restaurants, once it opened, there were a steady stream of visitors.
No way, this is the capital.
Those who really have money only focus on two things, delicious food and face.
Undoubtedly, Huixianju gave them everything they wanted.
Whether it is the name of the imperial chef, the imperial banquet, or the taste of the dishes, there is no second place in the entire capital.
Not to mention those ordinary dignitaries, even Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji's second uncle, after tasting the dishes Zhu Zhanji prepared yesterday, he could no longer eat the meals in his mansion.
Although being the King of Han would not go to the restaurant to eat in person, he still had people deliver the dishes to his house every day.
Including the white wine, he even ordered someone to buy a large tank directly for him, and kept it in the house.
And Zhu Zhanji after three days of wedding.
He was also called into the palace by the old man Zhu Di.
"Do you know what Grandpa asked you to do?"
Zhu Zhanji naturally shook his head and said, "How does my grandson know?"
Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di said: "Although you have just got married, you shouldn't be like this, but you are a grandson after all, and there are some things that cannot be done like ordinary people."
"Calling you over, there are two things in total."
"The first thing is, you set off ahead of time and arrive at Shuntian Mansion. I heard that the construction of the imperial city of Shuntian is almost completed. After you go, check and accept it carefully. Grandpa is not at ease when others go."
In this regard, Zhu Zhanji naturally had nothing to refuse, so he agreed immediately.
"The second thing is that after arriving in Shuntian Mansion, the army rations were raised from the local area, Shandong, Shanxi and other places. The silver used to purchase the rations has already been sent there one step ahead of time. The journey to the south to transport the rations is too far away. This matter has something to do with You must be cautious about the logistical supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji nodded again: "Don't worry, grandpa, grandson will do it with all his heart."
Zhu Di nodded: "Grandpa is at ease when you do things."
"Also, don't disturb the local officials along the way, just take a look in the dark to see what's going on in each place, which will help you deal with politics in the future."
"Yes."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was about to turn around and leave.
After thinking about it, the old man still said: "If you go this time, take that girl Shanxiang with you, lest you say grandpa is unreasonable."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled immediately.
"Got it, grandpa."
But when Zhu Zhanji walked to the door again, the old man asked again: "Be careful along the way."
"understood!"
With that said, Zhu Zhanji left without looking back.
Seeing this kid's appearance, Zhu Di in the inner hall couldn't help but sighed: "This kid really doesn't even turn his head."
outside the temple.
After leaving, Zhu Zhanji came to the prince's mansion immediately.
Although the old man rewarded You Taisun's Mansion after his wedding and canonization, Zhu Zhanji understood that after this expedition, he basically had no chance to return to Yingtian Mansion.
So I didn't even move it.
Of course, the trouble in the middle is still a trivial matter.
More importantly, he knew very well that within a few years, by the year his father ascended the throne in history, there would be more than [-] earthquakes in the entire capital.
In the second year, there will be twenty or thirty earthquakes.
Although they were small earthquakes, they did not cause much harm.
But even if a brick on the beam of the house shakes down, it may kill a person.
So, don't be brave at this time.
Coupled with the fact that the capital will be moved to Shuntian in the future, naturally they won't have too much thought about building a house here.
Knowing that today may be his last day here, and that he may never come back in this life, Zhu Zhanji naturally has to arrange everything before going out.
First of all, the first thing is to go to the prince's mansion to find my old lady, and hand over all the restaurants and restaurants that I left in the capital to my old lady's hands.
The monthly profit is also kept by my mother.
Since the old lady likes money, the son naturally has to satisfy her request.
My old lady has been doted on by my father all my life, so there is no reason why my son should not be doted on.
In fact, the more experience you have, the more things you will understand.
It is not right to deviate from the mainstream methods and attitudes.
Even if the old lady is the crown princess, the future queen, the empress dowager.
It doesn't make sense to follow the eyes of the world, live conscientiously, don't fight or grab, and be gentle and virtuous.
Like the heroines in those TV dramas in the previous life, she perfectly catered to all men's needs for women.
To be able to live a lifetime of foolish joy, I don't know how many people in the world I would envy to death.
It was as if I had heard what an actress said in a previous life.
He wants my money?
That's great.
I have money.
Now it's even more so when it's on my old lady.
If a little money can satisfy my old lady, then it will be very easy to support.
Immediately afterwards, he bid farewell to his father, second uncle, and third uncle.
The last is his own brother, Zhu Zhanyong.
This kid is out every day, even if he looks for it by himself, he has to go to the suburbs of Beijing to look for it.
After telling him to take care of the affairs of Yingtian Mansion and go to Shuntian, Zhu Zhanji returned to the mansion immediately, brought two guards and a groom, and headed towards Shuntian in a carriage and go.
After about half a month.
Zhu Zhanji and his party finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion.
After finding a place to live, Zhu Zhanji immediately found Guo Ji, who has now become the Governor of Shuntian.
Then, in the name of Taisun, he sent news to the surrounding provinces.
Order them to buy food and grass locally, and all the money will be paid by the court.
At the same time, the matter was clearly stated in advance, if anyone was corrupted in the military pay, he would be decapitated at the least, and his family would be executed at the worst.
It has to be said that although Zhu Zhanji has no direct jurisdiction over these provinces after the official canonization of the grandson, the news conveyed in his name is still very deterrent.
Even some people are not interested in Taisun's name.
Thinking of Zhu Zhanji's Jinyiwei now, and the previous disturbances in Nanzhili, he didn't dare to neglect easily.
After all, this one is a master who kills when he says he wants to.
At the same time, Zhu Zhanji also took Guo Ji to inspect and accept the palace in the capital.
Originally, such a matter should be directly handed over to a person he can trust.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji wanted to personally check and accept it was because he had a guess about the short life of his old Zhu family in his previous life.
That is, some materials used in the construction of the palace will produce formaldehyde gas similar to the formaldehyde gas that appeared in the house decoration in the previous life.
That's why the old Zhu family's short life was caused.
Although Zhu Zhanji is not very optimistic about this situation.
After all, how many people live in this palace?
It's not just some royal people.
It doesn't make sense for people from their old Zhu's family to die. Those people don't die, right?
They all moved in at the same time, especially after the relocation of the capital, it can be regarded as almost the same time.
With such a large number of people, even if it is really because of these things that the old Zhu family's short life was caused.
Then it will definitely lead to a large number of deaths of people living in the palace within a short period of time.
Even in the palaces of feudal dynasties, it was only normal for people to die.
But once there is a huge fluctuation in this number, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
You must know what the concubines and masters in the palace eat, where they go, and what they say every day, all of which must be recorded in the palace book.
It doesn't make sense, so many people died suddenly, such a big thing, but there is no record.
Even in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, it has never been recorded that in the first year of Hongxi, the last year of Yongle, and the early days of Xuande, there was any information about mass deaths in the palace.
But still the same sentence, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Once it was really because of these things that their old Zhu family almost became extinct.
That would be really disgusting.
However, because of the large amount used in the palace, even without special tools, Zhu Zhanji could not detect whether it was harmful to the human body, so all he could do was experiment with humans.
A lot of eunuchs and court ladies were arranged, and they immediately entered the palace for daily living.
It's not that Zhu Zhanji is really cruel.
First of all, this matter was groundless. It was just the speculation of some netizens in later generations, without any real evidence.
The chances of this actually happening are slim to none.
After all, the ancients were not fools. Would he still use this material when he knew it was harmful to the human body?
Besides, this is still used by the emperor in the palace.
Once found out, it will definitely be a matter of copying and beheading the whole family, implicating the nine clans.
Officials at all levels have also undergone numerous verifications when accessing and reviewing.
In addition to these eunuchs, the maids were supposed to live in the palace in the future, that is to say, once this situation is true, they will definitely not be able to escape.
So Zhu Zhanji didn't feel too much inappropriate about this method.
After completing the two tasks that the old man Zhu Di entrusted to him.
Zhu Zhanji also started to run his own business immediately.
First of all, the first thing is to find my other younger brother, the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian!
His younger brother is very famous in history.
The throne was thrown in front of him several times, but he didn't take it.
It can be said that he is very loyal to his family.
And definitely not doing anything rebellious.
It's really not that he can't do it, but he pretended it.
The one who killed the two sons of Zhu Zhanji in history, as long as Zhu Zhanqian is willing, he can definitely sit on the throne.
It even reached the point where the empress dowager ordered Yuxi to be sent to his mansion and asked him to be the emperor.
But he still doesn't want to.
Although I don't know how long I can sit, I don't know, after all, it depends on my ability.
But to be able to choose not to have the interests, the throne, and the supreme power in front of him, the people who can have this kind of determination can be counted on one hand in the whole world.
The most important thing is that his younger brother is extremely capable.
In history, when Zhu Zhanji was in charge of dealing with the rebellion of his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, he was left in the capital to supervise the officials.
You know, at that time Zhu Zhanji had just sat on the throne.
The ass is not hot yet.
It's really hard to say how much control he has over the court and all the officials.
Even if his father has been the emperor for a year.
Therefore, he can be assigned by Zhu Zhanji to stay behind and sit in the center.
It can be seen that he recognized Zhu Zhanqian's trust and ability.
But now, knowing these things, Zhu Zhanji trusts his own brother more than the third child.
So at the beginning, all these things were handed over to the two of them.
The third brother, Zhu Zhanyong, stayed in the suburbs of Beijing because of some later incidents, while himself, the fifth brother, stayed in Shuntian Mansion.
Prepare for some things that Zhu Zhanji will do after he ascends the throne in the future.
It's just that because the distance is too far, Zhu Zhanji still doesn't know how much this younger brother can do.
soon.
With the help of Guo Ji, who is the Yin of Yingtian Fu, Zhu Zhanji found the whereabouts of his younger brother Zhu Zhanyi.
Inside a house in Shuntian Mansion.
After Zhu Zhanji reported his identity, in less than a moment, Zhu Zhanji saw his younger brother, Zhu Zhanqi, who ran out in a hurry at the door.
"Big brother!"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other as soon as they met.
Later, Zhu Zhanqian looked at Zhu Zhanji angrily and said, "Brother, you are too mean!"
"You said you were married, and you were named a grandson. You didn't inform my brother about these two important events. I heard it from others in Shuntian! This is the first time I even saw my sister-in-law!"
Listening to his brother's complaint, Zhu Zhanji also sighed helplessly.
"Originally, I must have notified you of this matter, but you are in Shuntian, and it has been more than a month since you came back and forth. Doesn't the eldest brother not want you to run back and forth? Anyway, they are all brothers, what are you sister-in-law?" I can't see you in time."
"No, your eldest brother and I brought your sister-in-law here in person?"
Although Zhu Zhanqian knew that his elder brother was out of kindness, he didn't want to make him go back and forth.After all, just to have a feast, I have to toss back and forth on the road for more than a month.
But Zhu Zhanqian was still a little unhappy.
After all, this is my own big brother, and my big brother got married, but my younger brother was not present, which is too regrettable.
After seeing his sister-in-law cordially, Zhu Zhanqian still didn't give a good face when he looked at his elder brother.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly and smiled.
My younger brother has a good temper, but compared to the third child, he is much more pampered.
After all, this kid is the youngest in his family.
My wife likes it the most.
Although he never acted like a monster on weekdays, once his temper became stubborn, even ten horses would not be able to pull him back.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fool of yourself, why don't you get married again for your sake?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's joke, Zhu Zhanqian said seriously: "Okay!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji laughed and kicked over.
"Stinky boy!"
"Go quickly, find a place for your elder brother to live in first, and besides, I have to personally inspect and accept your kid's latest achievements when I come here this time."
Facing Zhu Zhanji's request, Zhu Zhanqian pointed directly to the east and said, "Now we lack everything here, and there is no shortage of houses."
"Over there, next door to my brother's house, there is a house similar to this one. You can live in it after cleaning it up. Brother, you will live with me these two days. I will send someone to clean it up first."
"it is good."
After Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang put away their things and luggage together, they had a foothold.
Zhu Zhanji came to the lobby of the house immediately.
Then Lao Wu also took a ledger and told him a little bit about his recent affairs in Shuntian Mansion.
Listen to the words of this kid Zhu Zhanqian.
Although Zhu Zhanji didn't even glance at the account book, but when he heard that there are 7000 people under him who are responsible for the construction alone, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Where did you get all the money? Just feed These people will use a lot, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian said, "Brother, why don't you know what you told yourself now? Except after the third brother ordered someone to send me a batch of silver before, my brother, I am now only in Shun The land purchased around Tianfu has been harvested twice."
"You forgot, unlike the south, the north doesn't need much water. What's grown here is wheat! Dry land!"
Listening to his brother's words, Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized.
Living in Yingtianfu for a long time, many things are habitually analyzed according to the situation in the south.
If that's the case, it's really possible.
South because it took too long to build those canals and reservoirs.
So it has led to no real harvest until now.
But here it is different.
As long as the weather is not too bad, natural precipitation alone is enough.
Even in the initial stage of planting, if it does not rain just right, it needs to be watered manually, but the water consumption is not much.
If you pour too much, you will die.
Therefore, it is only necessary to plan uniformly, divide a large area into several parts, and build several reservoirs for initial watering and irrigation.
Didn't even need to use water.
All you need is to get a water-filled carriage and pull it one by one.
It doesn't take a few labors to pull it for a day.
Just enough for a long time of use.
Generally speaking, compared with the south side, the water canals and canals are used to open up wasteland and transform fertile land.
The north relies on systematic management.
But after thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji felt that something was wrong again, and said: "Even if you got a lot of land to cultivate and reclaimed a lot of wasteland, these harvests alone are not enough to support these expenses, right? "
After all, this kid has raised 7000 people all year round.
It is necessary to continue to purchase land and houses in the capital.
This cost is not generally small.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqian on the opposite side suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you still found out."
"Actually, all the money is obtained by selling potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, but these things are really useful. The annual yield per mu is two or three times that of wheat! Especially the potatoes, which can be harvested in a year. It yields forty or fifty shi! Wheat yields less than ten shi!"
"And according to what you said at the beginning, brother, if you plant potatoes and corn together, the yield will be higher! Add them together, at least sixty or seventy stones per mu!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened when he heard Zhu Zhanqian's words.
"You sold all those potatoes and sweet potatoes?!!"
Zhu Zhanqian nodded: "I can't help it, big brother, I was too short of money here before, and the distance is far away, it will take half a month to send a letter to you and third brother. Wait for you to find a way to get the money Get it here, the day lily is cold!"
But for Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanji was not angry that he didn't listen to his own words, nor was he angry that he sold all the potatoes and corn he produced.
"Let me ask you, those people who bought your crops, did they grow them themselves?!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian hurriedly made a promise: "Brother, don't worry! You have explained before that the people must not let the people grow these things by themselves, so I also told them when I sold these things .”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was relieved.
Zhu Zhanji not only didn't think there was a problem with his brother's temporary decision, but thought it was very good.
Just listen to your own orders and ask for instructions on everything. There are many people in the world who can do this kind of thing.
On the contrary, what is needed is someone like this kid who dares to make his own decisions.
It's okay even if you make a mistake.
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji explained to him: "The reason why you and the third child were not to sell or plant these things continuously is because these are not like wheat and rice, which can be planted continuously for several seasons." .This is related to the "
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to explain the problem of nutrients and microorganisms to his younger brother.
After a pause, he said: "In short, after one year of planting, other crops must be planted. Potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot be planted one after another."
"This is also the reason why I told you that after planting potatoes and sweet potatoes for a season, you will switch to corn or wheat and rice. It's not for fear that others will know about these. These will be planted for them in the future, and how much you can grow by yourself."
"What I'm afraid of is that the people don't know, and they take it back and plant it blindly. In the second year and the third year, they will lose everything."
"But since you said it, you don't need to worry about them. Ordinary people will not secretly buy these and plant them. As for those who are evil-minded, sneaky, and sneaky, don't worry about it. It's better to lose."
Seeing this, Lao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his fifth child has always been spoiled at home and has a stubborn temper.
But he also has people he is afraid of.
Of course, it is better to say respect than fear.
Because from childhood to adulthood, their younger brothers in the mansion were all under the care of his elder brother Zhu Zhanji, and when they grew up, after knowing their identities were different, they relied on their elder brother and had a special status among their peers .
In the entire capital city.
Except for using the relationship of the adults in his family, his elder brother Zhu Zhanji has been a child's head since he was a child.
He was really afraid that his elder brother would be angry because of this incident.
"but."
Before that boy Zhu Zhanqian could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Zhanji said again: "In the final analysis, this matter is your own decision, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot escape. However, I didn't see you last time, my brother Just compare the two and don't count, don't tell me about the big wedding that didn't call you in the future."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian glared immediately: "Brother, is this the same thing?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "I say it's the same thing, it's the same thing!"
Subsequently.
Under the narration of the fifth brother Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji also knew that this kid not only made great achievements in the acquisition of land and real estate in the capital.
Great progress has been made in land planting and land reclamation.
Even in that iron smelting and mining, progress was rapid.
According to this kid, as long as he is given iron ore now, he can build one or two iron smelting workshops anytime and anywhere.
According to his words, he learned it from Zhu Zhanji, the big brother, about military management.
Food, drink, clothing and housing are all carried out by the army.
Where to hit.
After hearing this, although Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised, he also knew that this kid liked leading troops to fight since he was a child.
I also like to study the art of war.
So surprised, but also understandable.
In addition, the people in this era are not like the people in the previous life. As long as they are given money, they are still very easy to command, and even as long as they are given a little more, they can do whatever they are asked to do.
No regard for face.
You won't be like the people of later generations, no matter what you are, we are all equals, don't play any tricks on me.
on the second day.
Although he was already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help being shocked when he saw the group of people under the fifth brother.
This fifth child really surprised him too much.
I thought his so-called militarized management was just casual talk, just like those militarized schools and militarized enterprise management in the previous life, it was a gimmick.
Slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But when he saw with his own eyes, these common people who were constantly busy working, he was shocked.
This coming and going is very regular, and it is completely in accordance with the pre-set process, like a large machine.
What some people do, what some people do, they cooperate closely with each other.
The point is that there are more than a thousand people here alone, but under the command of the steward assigned by the kid Zhu Zhanqian, it seems to be very smooth.
"Brother, how are you? Are you okay?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanqian's stinky fart voice, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I will look at you with admiration after three days!"
Seeing how his elder brother gave me face, Zhu Zhanqian also said: "Isn't this all based on the military book that elder brother you gave me? If you want to say that you are good, you are still good."
"Come on!"
After joking.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Zhanji also had some different thoughts in his heart.
There's going to be a war soon, if these guys can be used in the north
Maybe it can play a very big role.
Of course, they will definitely not be asked to fight with knives and guns.
Following this idea, Zhu Zhanji also thought a lot.
It was not until the group of them were on the way back after seeing all the places that Zhu Zhanji expressed his thoughts.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqi's eyes widened and he said, "Brother, what you said is true! There is really going to be a war!"
Just when Zhu Zhanji was wondering why the kid was making such a fuss, he saw the kid immediately say in surprise: "Brother! This time you go to the north to fight, you must take me with you! Don't worry, brother, I will not embarrass you!"
Seeing that the kid was excited, Zhu Zhanji shook his head immediately, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I think so, but I don't know if the old man will agree. After all, you are all people who are on the battlefield for the first time. If you don't Follow orders."
However, Zhu Zhanqian immediately said: "Don't worry, brother! Don't dare to say anything else. I can't guarantee how many people you want us to rush up and kill, brother, but as long as it is the order of you and grandpa, brother, I will kill you." Seven 8000 people like me, must obey your words! You say go east, never go west! We bring our own food, and don’t eat a bite of food from the court, how about it!”
Seeing the kid's high interest, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, brother, let me try."
But when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqi suddenly became happy.
He knew very well that as his big brother, as long as he told him to try, he would basically succeed.
Thinking that he would finally be able to go to the battlefield one day, his mouth has never been idle along the way.
Asking this and that in a whisper.
Zhu Zhanji has one head and two big heads.
I don't know if it's right to take this kid there.
In a blink of an eye.
Already a month has passed.
As the grain and grass raised by several provinces in the north were continuously transported to Shuntian Mansion, under the command of Guo Ji, the grain and grass also began to be transported to the north in a concentrated manner.
As for the old man, he also wrote a letter a month ago, and the army has already set out.
In addition to raising funds to purchase food and grass, the provinces in the north are also dispatching troops to various places.
This time, as usual, the total number of troops is around 500,000.
After Zhu Zhanji also received the old man's order, he took that kid Zhu Zhanqian and his seven or eight thousand temporary soldiers and horses to the border of the Nanan River.
It is the place where the Ministry of War intends to gather troops.
For this reason, the Ministry of War has also made a lot of predetermined plans.
After all, if the tribes in the north knew about it before the troops were assembled, maybe they would directly cross the border and enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty to disrupt.
Therefore, everyone must strictly follow the plan predetermined by the Ministry of War before sending troops together.
And with the 8000 people led by Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyi, they are getting closer and closer to the Naonan River.
It immediately became the most wonderful unit in this army.
Because what they hold in their hands, what they push, and what they pull are completely different from the swords of others.
Basically some tools such as shovels, wheelbarrows, hammers, etc.
It's just like a decoration team.
Ask for a monthly pass.
(End of this chapter)
"Why have you never tasted this dish before?"
"Yeah, I've never tasted the spiciness or the sweet and sour taste of these dishes. It seems completely different from the ones I've eaten on weekdays!"
"."
In an instant, everyone's chopsticks speeded up unconsciously.
Compared with these people, the old Zhu family who had tasted all kinds of dishes made by Zhu Zhanji for a long time, although they were also surprised by some of the dishes, they were much calmer.
After all, with the hot pot meal before, I was somewhat prepared in my heart.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, who was sitting at the first table of the banquet, tasted the taste of this dish again, and immediately couldn't help saying: "This kid, I really enjoy it every day. I have a good taste. I eat these delicacies every day. No wonder before Tell him to stay at the house for dinner, but he is in a hurry to leave."
The youngest Zhu Gaosui also sighed: "Try this sweet and sour pork ribs, it really tastes different."
Even the old man couldn't help asking the people around him: "Who made this banquet today, I don't remember anyone in this palace who can do this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Quan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, the dishes cooked today are all brought from outside by His Highness Taisun. I heard that it is a restaurant in the city called Huixianju."
"His Highness Taisun opened it himself. It hasn't officially opened yet. I think it's almost a few days ago."
"Oh!?" Zhu Di was taken aback when he heard this.
Then after thinking about it, I understood what was going on.
Immediately looking at the prince Zhu Gaochi, the second child and the third child at the table, they said, "This kid is reluctant to spend money, and he is still thinking about using this big wedding to make his restaurant famous."
Apparently, the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side also saw his kid's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This kid just has a brain."
The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, also said: "As my second uncle, I have never seen this kid do business at a loss."
Seeing what the family said, the old man suddenly laughed.
The old man Zhu Di immediately said to Zhao Quan beside him: "Go, call that kid over to toast his father and a few uncles."
Hearing this, Zhao Quan hurriedly turned to look for Zhu Zhanji.
After a while.
Zhu Zhanji walked over slowly.
After taking the wine glass handed over by the eunuch, he said to the old man, father and two uncles in the field: "Grandpa, father, second uncle and third uncle, Zhanji respects you!"
But after hearing this, the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was the first to say with a smile: "There are four or five of us, why don't you toast to fool things?"
As soon as the second child finished speaking, the old man laughed when he saw the uncle teasing his nephew.
But Zhu Zhanji was not polite, picked up a glass of wine and said: "Since the second uncle has said so, let's pay respects separately!"
But just after Zhu Zhanji toasted the old man's first glass of wine, the old man frowned suddenly: "Stinky boy, what kind of wine are you? It's strong enough!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji suddenly laughed.
Just kidding, my big marriage will make everyone feel better?
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the wine used by the royal family was rice wine.
This stuff is good as long as it is good, but the key point is that Zhu Zhanji is really not used to drinking it.
The taste is too strong.
So not long after he came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji produced a light-flavor liquor according to the modern special wine-making process.
Of course, it is also because Zhu Zhanji in his previous life lived in the north, and the taste of Xinghua Village seems to have been carved into his bones.
"Grandpa, this is the liquor developed by grandson himself, please try it."
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, everyone present frowned.
Liquor
The impression in the minds of people in this era is equivalent to stinky wine.
It is specially given to those who cannot afford alcohol, such as coachmen and boatmen.
Now that the grandson is getting married, the people present are not the dignitaries, but the important ministers above the current court, as well as the emperor's relatives.
Just give them liquor?
"Stinky boy, you are too frugal, aren't you?"
Obviously, the old man Zhu Di was a little unhappy.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't care at all, and said, "Grandpa, don't care whether it's white wine or yellow rice wine, you should taste it first and see how grandson's wine compares with the royal wine of the court."
Everyone present is a wine lover. If you tell others, you may not be able to tell what the wine is like, but if you tell them to taste
That's not something that can be fooled by just a few words.
Immediately, the old man Zhu Di and the crown prince Han Wang Zhao Wang raised their wine glasses one after another and smelled the aroma of the wine.
For a moment, the moment they smelled the aroma of the wine, everyone headed by the old man Zhu Di frowned.
The wine has a mellow aroma, not as good as rice wine, and has an extra medicinal taste.
But a faint fragrance filled the air.
Look at that white wine color again.
It gives people a feeling of Jiutian Qiongniang, which is completely natural.
This is especially true when pouring it into the white porcelain cup in front of you.
At this point, everyone was a little surprised.
If you look at it from these points alone, it seems to be a bit unusual.
Immediately, while everyone looked at each other in doubt, they poured a glass of wine into their mouths one after another.
The wine enters the mouth, very moist!
Swallowing it down is also very smooth.
There is still a fragrance in the mouth.
But until the wine entered the abdomen, in an instant, a burst of warmth exploded in the chest and abdomen.
Spit out in one breath.
Fragrant.
Because the feeling was completely different from the wine he drank in the past, Zhu Di, who was affected by emotions, didn't taste anything at all.
But with this careful tasting, it became clear in an instant why this kid dared to take out baijiu at the wedding banquet.
"It looks docile, and the entrance is soft, but once it enters the abdomen, it's like a dragon that overwhelms the river, strong! Good wine! Good wine!"
The second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was the first to say in surprise.
For men in the army and martial arts practitioners like them, although rice wine has many benefits, Zhu Zhanji's baijiu still has its own unique features.
The old man, the old man and the youngest Zhao Wang were on the side.
It's also full of aftertaste.
Seeing their expressions, Zhu Zhanji still reminded him friendly: "No matter how good the wine is, don't be greedy. Don't blame grandchildren, sons, and nephews for not reminding you."
Although they were very satisfied with Zhu Zhanji's liquor, everyone smiled disdainfully when Zhu Zhanji said so.
After Zhu Zhanji toasted again, he turned around and left the table, and went to other tables to toast one by one.
Although he is a grandson, after all, the visitor is a guest. At this time, he should go to each table to toast and thank him for his support. That is also what he should do.
During Zhu Zhanji's toast, many people present were also surprised to say that today's wine and food are both unique.
And Zhu Zhanji also took the trouble to kindly ask not to drink too much.
But even so, when the banquet was coming to an end.
Just what Zhu Zhanji saw by himself, more than a dozen people were carried down.
You must know that these people present today are all of unusual identities, which one has less social dinners and banquets on weekdays.
It can be seen that the amount of alcohol is not normal.
But to make them drink like this in such a formal occasion shows the power of that liquor.
Not only them, but also his second and third uncles, if Zhu Zhanji's father Zhu Gaochi hadn't been around and kept dissuading him, he would probably be drinking and lying down now.
But even so, his face was full of drunkenness at the moment.
Looking at the smiles on their faces, it can be seen that they are also very happy.
After a day of fun, at dawn, what should come will still come.
It will not change in the slightest because of yesterday's fun.
The soldiers and horses are still practicing, and the Huixianju in the capital has also opened.
After the publicity that Zhu Zhanji had prepared in advance, although the price of food and drinks at Huixianju was much higher than that of other restaurants, once it opened, there were a steady stream of visitors.
No way, this is the capital.
Those who really have money only focus on two things, delicious food and face.
Undoubtedly, Huixianju gave them everything they wanted.
Whether it is the name of the imperial chef, the imperial banquet, or the taste of the dishes, there is no second place in the entire capital.
Not to mention those ordinary dignitaries, even Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji's second uncle, after tasting the dishes Zhu Zhanji prepared yesterday, he could no longer eat the meals in his mansion.
Although being the King of Han would not go to the restaurant to eat in person, he still had people deliver the dishes to his house every day.
Including the white wine, he even ordered someone to buy a large tank directly for him, and kept it in the house.
And Zhu Zhanji after three days of wedding.
He was also called into the palace by the old man Zhu Di.
"Do you know what Grandpa asked you to do?"
Zhu Zhanji naturally shook his head and said, "How does my grandson know?"
Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di said: "Although you have just got married, you shouldn't be like this, but you are a grandson after all, and there are some things that cannot be done like ordinary people."
"Calling you over, there are two things in total."
"The first thing is, you set off ahead of time and arrive at Shuntian Mansion. I heard that the construction of the imperial city of Shuntian is almost completed. After you go, check and accept it carefully. Grandpa is not at ease when others go."
In this regard, Zhu Zhanji naturally had nothing to refuse, so he agreed immediately.
"The second thing is that after arriving in Shuntian Mansion, the army rations were raised from the local area, Shandong, Shanxi and other places. The silver used to purchase the rations has already been sent there one step ahead of time. The journey to the south to transport the rations is too far away. This matter has something to do with You must be cautious about the logistical supplies of hundreds of thousands of troops."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji nodded again: "Don't worry, grandpa, grandson will do it with all his heart."
Zhu Di nodded: "Grandpa is at ease when you do things."
"Also, don't disturb the local officials along the way, just take a look in the dark to see what's going on in each place, which will help you deal with politics in the future."
"Yes."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was about to turn around and leave.
After thinking about it, the old man still said: "If you go this time, take that girl Shanxiang with you, lest you say grandpa is unreasonable."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji smiled immediately.
"Got it, grandpa."
But when Zhu Zhanji walked to the door again, the old man asked again: "Be careful along the way."
"understood!"
With that said, Zhu Zhanji left without looking back.
Seeing this kid's appearance, Zhu Di in the inner hall couldn't help but sighed: "This kid really doesn't even turn his head."
outside the temple.
After leaving, Zhu Zhanji came to the prince's mansion immediately.
Although the old man rewarded You Taisun's Mansion after his wedding and canonization, Zhu Zhanji understood that after this expedition, he basically had no chance to return to Yingtian Mansion.
So I didn't even move it.
Of course, the trouble in the middle is still a trivial matter.
More importantly, he knew very well that within a few years, by the year his father ascended the throne in history, there would be more than [-] earthquakes in the entire capital.
In the second year, there will be twenty or thirty earthquakes.
Although they were small earthquakes, they did not cause much harm.
But even if a brick on the beam of the house shakes down, it may kill a person.
So, don't be brave at this time.
Coupled with the fact that the capital will be moved to Shuntian in the future, naturally they won't have too much thought about building a house here.
Knowing that today may be his last day here, and that he may never come back in this life, Zhu Zhanji naturally has to arrange everything before going out.
First of all, the first thing is to go to the prince's mansion to find my old lady, and hand over all the restaurants and restaurants that I left in the capital to my old lady's hands.
The monthly profit is also kept by my mother.
Since the old lady likes money, the son naturally has to satisfy her request.
My old lady has been doted on by my father all my life, so there is no reason why my son should not be doted on.
In fact, the more experience you have, the more things you will understand.
It is not right to deviate from the mainstream methods and attitudes.
Even if the old lady is the crown princess, the future queen, the empress dowager.
It doesn't make sense to follow the eyes of the world, live conscientiously, don't fight or grab, and be gentle and virtuous.
Like the heroines in those TV dramas in the previous life, she perfectly catered to all men's needs for women.
To be able to live a lifetime of foolish joy, I don't know how many people in the world I would envy to death.
It was as if I had heard what an actress said in a previous life.
He wants my money?
That's great.
I have money.
Now it's even more so when it's on my old lady.
If a little money can satisfy my old lady, then it will be very easy to support.
Immediately afterwards, he bid farewell to his father, second uncle, and third uncle.
The last is his own brother, Zhu Zhanyong.
This kid is out every day, even if he looks for it by himself, he has to go to the suburbs of Beijing to look for it.
After telling him to take care of the affairs of Yingtian Mansion and go to Shuntian, Zhu Zhanji returned to the mansion immediately, brought two guards and a groom, and headed towards Shuntian in a carriage and go.
After about half a month.
Zhu Zhanji and his party finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion.
After finding a place to live, Zhu Zhanji immediately found Guo Ji, who has now become the Governor of Shuntian.
Then, in the name of Taisun, he sent news to the surrounding provinces.
Order them to buy food and grass locally, and all the money will be paid by the court.
At the same time, the matter was clearly stated in advance, if anyone was corrupted in the military pay, he would be decapitated at the least, and his family would be executed at the worst.
It has to be said that although Zhu Zhanji has no direct jurisdiction over these provinces after the official canonization of the grandson, the news conveyed in his name is still very deterrent.
Even some people are not interested in Taisun's name.
Thinking of Zhu Zhanji's Jinyiwei now, and the previous disturbances in Nanzhili, he didn't dare to neglect easily.
After all, this one is a master who kills when he says he wants to.
At the same time, Zhu Zhanji also took Guo Ji to inspect and accept the palace in the capital.
Originally, such a matter should be directly handed over to a person he can trust.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji wanted to personally check and accept it was because he had a guess about the short life of his old Zhu family in his previous life.
That is, some materials used in the construction of the palace will produce formaldehyde gas similar to the formaldehyde gas that appeared in the house decoration in the previous life.
That's why the old Zhu family's short life was caused.
Although Zhu Zhanji is not very optimistic about this situation.
After all, how many people live in this palace?
It's not just some royal people.
It doesn't make sense for people from their old Zhu's family to die. Those people don't die, right?
They all moved in at the same time, especially after the relocation of the capital, it can be regarded as almost the same time.
With such a large number of people, even if it is really because of these things that the old Zhu family's short life was caused.
Then it will definitely lead to a large number of deaths of people living in the palace within a short period of time.
Even in the palaces of feudal dynasties, it was only normal for people to die.
But once there is a huge fluctuation in this number, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
You must know what the concubines and masters in the palace eat, where they go, and what they say every day, all of which must be recorded in the palace book.
It doesn't make sense, so many people died suddenly, such a big thing, but there is no record.
Even in the history books of the Ming Dynasty, it has never been recorded that in the first year of Hongxi, the last year of Yongle, and the early days of Xuande, there was any information about mass deaths in the palace.
But still the same sentence, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Once it was really because of these things that their old Zhu family almost became extinct.
That would be really disgusting.
However, because of the large amount used in the palace, even without special tools, Zhu Zhanji could not detect whether it was harmful to the human body, so all he could do was experiment with humans.
A lot of eunuchs and court ladies were arranged, and they immediately entered the palace for daily living.
It's not that Zhu Zhanji is really cruel.
First of all, this matter was groundless. It was just the speculation of some netizens in later generations, without any real evidence.
The chances of this actually happening are slim to none.
After all, the ancients were not fools. Would he still use this material when he knew it was harmful to the human body?
Besides, this is still used by the emperor in the palace.
Once found out, it will definitely be a matter of copying and beheading the whole family, implicating the nine clans.
Officials at all levels have also undergone numerous verifications when accessing and reviewing.
In addition to these eunuchs, the maids were supposed to live in the palace in the future, that is to say, once this situation is true, they will definitely not be able to escape.
So Zhu Zhanji didn't feel too much inappropriate about this method.
After completing the two tasks that the old man Zhu Di entrusted to him.
Zhu Zhanji also started to run his own business immediately.
First of all, the first thing is to find my other younger brother, the fifth brother Zhu Zhanqian!
His younger brother is very famous in history.
The throne was thrown in front of him several times, but he didn't take it.
It can be said that he is very loyal to his family.
And definitely not doing anything rebellious.
It's really not that he can't do it, but he pretended it.
The one who killed the two sons of Zhu Zhanji in history, as long as Zhu Zhanqian is willing, he can definitely sit on the throne.
It even reached the point where the empress dowager ordered Yuxi to be sent to his mansion and asked him to be the emperor.
But he still doesn't want to.
Although I don't know how long I can sit, I don't know, after all, it depends on my ability.
But to be able to choose not to have the interests, the throne, and the supreme power in front of him, the people who can have this kind of determination can be counted on one hand in the whole world.
The most important thing is that his younger brother is extremely capable.
In history, when Zhu Zhanji was in charge of dealing with the rebellion of his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, he was left in the capital to supervise the officials.
You know, at that time Zhu Zhanji had just sat on the throne.
The ass is not hot yet.
It's really hard to say how much control he has over the court and all the officials.
Even if his father has been the emperor for a year.
Therefore, he can be assigned by Zhu Zhanji to stay behind and sit in the center.
It can be seen that he recognized Zhu Zhanqian's trust and ability.
But now, knowing these things, Zhu Zhanji trusts his own brother more than the third child.
So at the beginning, all these things were handed over to the two of them.
The third brother, Zhu Zhanyong, stayed in the suburbs of Beijing because of some later incidents, while himself, the fifth brother, stayed in Shuntian Mansion.
Prepare for some things that Zhu Zhanji will do after he ascends the throne in the future.
It's just that because the distance is too far, Zhu Zhanji still doesn't know how much this younger brother can do.
soon.
With the help of Guo Ji, who is the Yin of Yingtian Fu, Zhu Zhanji found the whereabouts of his younger brother Zhu Zhanyi.
Inside a house in Shuntian Mansion.
After Zhu Zhanji reported his identity, in less than a moment, Zhu Zhanji saw his younger brother, Zhu Zhanqi, who ran out in a hurry at the door.
"Big brother!"
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they hugged each other as soon as they met.
Later, Zhu Zhanqian looked at Zhu Zhanji angrily and said, "Brother, you are too mean!"
"You said you were married, and you were named a grandson. You didn't inform my brother about these two important events. I heard it from others in Shuntian! This is the first time I even saw my sister-in-law!"
Listening to his brother's complaint, Zhu Zhanji also sighed helplessly.
"Originally, I must have notified you of this matter, but you are in Shuntian, and it has been more than a month since you came back and forth. Doesn't the eldest brother not want you to run back and forth? Anyway, they are all brothers, what are you sister-in-law?" I can't see you in time."
"No, your eldest brother and I brought your sister-in-law here in person?"
Although Zhu Zhanqian knew that his elder brother was out of kindness, he didn't want to make him go back and forth.After all, just to have a feast, I have to toss back and forth on the road for more than a month.
But Zhu Zhanqian was still a little unhappy.
After all, this is my own big brother, and my big brother got married, but my younger brother was not present, which is too regrettable.
After seeing his sister-in-law cordially, Zhu Zhanqian still didn't give a good face when he looked at his elder brother.
Seeing his younger brother like this, Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly and smiled.
My younger brother has a good temper, but compared to the third child, he is much more pampered.
After all, this kid is the youngest in his family.
My wife likes it the most.
Although he never acted like a monster on weekdays, once his temper became stubborn, even ten horses would not be able to pull him back.
"Okay, okay, don't make a fool of yourself, why don't you get married again for your sake?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's joke, Zhu Zhanqian said seriously: "Okay!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji laughed and kicked over.
"Stinky boy!"
"Go quickly, find a place for your elder brother to live in first, and besides, I have to personally inspect and accept your kid's latest achievements when I come here this time."
Facing Zhu Zhanji's request, Zhu Zhanqian pointed directly to the east and said, "Now we lack everything here, and there is no shortage of houses."
"Over there, next door to my brother's house, there is a house similar to this one. You can live in it after cleaning it up. Brother, you will live with me these two days. I will send someone to clean it up first."
"it is good."
After Zhu Zhanji and Hu Shanxiang put away their things and luggage together, they had a foothold.
Zhu Zhanji came to the lobby of the house immediately.
Then Lao Wu also took a ledger and told him a little bit about his recent affairs in Shuntian Mansion.
Listen to the words of this kid Zhu Zhanqian.
Although Zhu Zhanji didn't even glance at the account book, but when he heard that there are 7000 people under him who are responsible for the construction alone, he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Where did you get all the money? Just feed These people will use a lot, right?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian said, "Brother, why don't you know what you told yourself now? Except after the third brother ordered someone to send me a batch of silver before, my brother, I am now only in Shun The land purchased around Tianfu has been harvested twice."
"You forgot, unlike the south, the north doesn't need much water. What's grown here is wheat! Dry land!"
Listening to his brother's words, Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized.
Living in Yingtianfu for a long time, many things are habitually analyzed according to the situation in the south.
If that's the case, it's really possible.
South because it took too long to build those canals and reservoirs.
So it has led to no real harvest until now.
But here it is different.
As long as the weather is not too bad, natural precipitation alone is enough.
Even in the initial stage of planting, if it does not rain just right, it needs to be watered manually, but the water consumption is not much.
If you pour too much, you will die.
Therefore, it is only necessary to plan uniformly, divide a large area into several parts, and build several reservoirs for initial watering and irrigation.
Didn't even need to use water.
All you need is to get a water-filled carriage and pull it one by one.
It doesn't take a few labors to pull it for a day.
Just enough for a long time of use.
Generally speaking, compared with the south side, the water canals and canals are used to open up wasteland and transform fertile land.
The north relies on systematic management.
But after thinking about it, Zhu Zhanji felt that something was wrong again, and said: "Even if you got a lot of land to cultivate and reclaimed a lot of wasteland, these harvests alone are not enough to support these expenses, right? "
After all, this kid has raised 7000 people all year round.
It is necessary to continue to purchase land and houses in the capital.
This cost is not generally small.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqian on the opposite side suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you still found out."
"Actually, all the money is obtained by selling potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, but these things are really useful. The annual yield per mu is two or three times that of wheat! Especially the potatoes, which can be harvested in a year. It yields forty or fifty shi! Wheat yields less than ten shi!"
"And according to what you said at the beginning, brother, if you plant potatoes and corn together, the yield will be higher! Add them together, at least sixty or seventy stones per mu!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened when he heard Zhu Zhanqian's words.
"You sold all those potatoes and sweet potatoes?!!"
Zhu Zhanqian nodded: "I can't help it, big brother, I was too short of money here before, and the distance is far away, it will take half a month to send a letter to you and third brother. Wait for you to find a way to get the money Get it here, the day lily is cold!"
But for Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanji was not angry that he didn't listen to his own words, nor was he angry that he sold all the potatoes and corn he produced.
"Let me ask you, those people who bought your crops, did they grow them themselves?!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian hurriedly made a promise: "Brother, don't worry! You have explained before that the people must not let the people grow these things by themselves, so I also told them when I sold these things .”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was relieved.
Zhu Zhanji not only didn't think there was a problem with his brother's temporary decision, but thought it was very good.
Just listen to your own orders and ask for instructions on everything. There are many people in the world who can do this kind of thing.
On the contrary, what is needed is someone like this kid who dares to make his own decisions.
It's okay even if you make a mistake.
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji explained to him: "The reason why you and the third child were not to sell or plant these things continuously is because these are not like wheat and rice, which can be planted continuously for several seasons." .This is related to the "
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to explain the problem of nutrients and microorganisms to his younger brother.
After a pause, he said: "In short, after one year of planting, other crops must be planted. Potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot be planted one after another."
"This is also the reason why I told you that after planting potatoes and sweet potatoes for a season, you will switch to corn or wheat and rice. It's not for fear that others will know about these. These will be planted for them in the future, and how much you can grow by yourself."
"What I'm afraid of is that the people don't know, and they take it back and plant it blindly. In the second year and the third year, they will lose everything."
"But since you said it, you don't need to worry about them. Ordinary people will not secretly buy these and plant them. As for those who are evil-minded, sneaky, and sneaky, don't worry about it. It's better to lose."
Seeing this, Lao Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his fifth child has always been spoiled at home and has a stubborn temper.
But he also has people he is afraid of.
Of course, it is better to say respect than fear.
Because from childhood to adulthood, their younger brothers in the mansion were all under the care of his elder brother Zhu Zhanji, and when they grew up, after knowing their identities were different, they relied on their elder brother and had a special status among their peers .
In the entire capital city.
Except for using the relationship of the adults in his family, his elder brother Zhu Zhanji has been a child's head since he was a child.
He was really afraid that his elder brother would be angry because of this incident.
"but."
Before that boy Zhu Zhanqian could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhu Zhanji said again: "In the final analysis, this matter is your own decision, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot escape. However, I didn't see you last time, my brother Just compare the two and don't count, don't tell me about the big wedding that didn't call you in the future."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhanqian glared immediately: "Brother, is this the same thing?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "I say it's the same thing, it's the same thing!"
Subsequently.
Under the narration of the fifth brother Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji also knew that this kid not only made great achievements in the acquisition of land and real estate in the capital.
Great progress has been made in land planting and land reclamation.
Even in that iron smelting and mining, progress was rapid.
According to this kid, as long as he is given iron ore now, he can build one or two iron smelting workshops anytime and anywhere.
According to his words, he learned it from Zhu Zhanji, the big brother, about military management.
Food, drink, clothing and housing are all carried out by the army.
Where to hit.
After hearing this, although Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised, he also knew that this kid liked leading troops to fight since he was a child.
I also like to study the art of war.
So surprised, but also understandable.
In addition, the people in this era are not like the people in the previous life. As long as they are given money, they are still very easy to command, and even as long as they are given a little more, they can do whatever they are asked to do.
No regard for face.
You won't be like the people of later generations, no matter what you are, we are all equals, don't play any tricks on me.
on the second day.
Although he was already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help being shocked when he saw the group of people under the fifth brother.
This fifth child really surprised him too much.
I thought his so-called militarized management was just casual talk, just like those militarized schools and militarized enterprise management in the previous life, it was a gimmick.
Slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But when he saw with his own eyes, these common people who were constantly busy working, he was shocked.
This coming and going is very regular, and it is completely in accordance with the pre-set process, like a large machine.
What some people do, what some people do, they cooperate closely with each other.
The point is that there are more than a thousand people here alone, but under the command of the steward assigned by the kid Zhu Zhanqian, it seems to be very smooth.
"Brother, how are you? Are you okay?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanqian's stinky fart voice, Zhu Zhanji suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, I will look at you with admiration after three days!"
Seeing how his elder brother gave me face, Zhu Zhanqian also said: "Isn't this all based on the military book that elder brother you gave me? If you want to say that you are good, you are still good."
"Come on!"
After joking.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Zhanji also had some different thoughts in his heart.
There's going to be a war soon, if these guys can be used in the north
Maybe it can play a very big role.
Of course, they will definitely not be asked to fight with knives and guns.
Following this idea, Zhu Zhanji also thought a lot.
It was not until the group of them were on the way back after seeing all the places that Zhu Zhanji expressed his thoughts.
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqi's eyes widened and he said, "Brother, what you said is true! There is really going to be a war!"
Just when Zhu Zhanji was wondering why the kid was making such a fuss, he saw the kid immediately say in surprise: "Brother! This time you go to the north to fight, you must take me with you! Don't worry, brother, I will not embarrass you!"
Seeing that the kid was excited, Zhu Zhanji shook his head immediately, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I think so, but I don't know if the old man will agree. After all, you are all people who are on the battlefield for the first time. If you don't Follow orders."
However, Zhu Zhanqian immediately said: "Don't worry, brother! Don't dare to say anything else. I can't guarantee how many people you want us to rush up and kill, brother, but as long as it is the order of you and grandpa, brother, I will kill you." Seven 8000 people like me, must obey your words! You say go east, never go west! We bring our own food, and don’t eat a bite of food from the court, how about it!”
Seeing the kid's high interest, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, brother, let me try."
But when he heard Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Zhanqi suddenly became happy.
He knew very well that as his big brother, as long as he told him to try, he would basically succeed.
Thinking that he would finally be able to go to the battlefield one day, his mouth has never been idle along the way.
Asking this and that in a whisper.
Zhu Zhanji has one head and two big heads.
I don't know if it's right to take this kid there.
In a blink of an eye.
Already a month has passed.
As the grain and grass raised by several provinces in the north were continuously transported to Shuntian Mansion, under the command of Guo Ji, the grain and grass also began to be transported to the north in a concentrated manner.
As for the old man, he also wrote a letter a month ago, and the army has already set out.
In addition to raising funds to purchase food and grass, the provinces in the north are also dispatching troops to various places.
This time, as usual, the total number of troops is around 500,000.
After Zhu Zhanji also received the old man's order, he took that kid Zhu Zhanqian and his seven or eight thousand temporary soldiers and horses to the border of the Nanan River.
It is the place where the Ministry of War intends to gather troops.
For this reason, the Ministry of War has also made a lot of predetermined plans.
After all, if the tribes in the north knew about it before the troops were assembled, maybe they would directly cross the border and enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty to disrupt.
Therefore, everyone must strictly follow the plan predetermined by the Ministry of War before sending troops together.
And with the 8000 people led by Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyi, they are getting closer and closer to the Naonan River.
It immediately became the most wonderful unit in this army.
Because what they hold in their hands, what they push, and what they pull are completely different from the swords of others.
Basically some tools such as shovels, wheelbarrows, hammers, etc.
It's just like a decoration team.
Ask for a monthly pass.
