Daming heir

Chapter 483 Arriving in the Central Capital, Will Meet the Wasted Man

In the autumn of the 28th year of Hongwu.

When the grandson of the emperor supervised the country, he led the decree to go out of Beijing.

The emperor's decree was very clear, and the emperor's grandson went to the central capital on behalf of the court to attend the funeral of the late Xin Guogong Tang He.Afterwards, the emperor's grandson continued to tour the north according to the order, and inspected the Governor's Mansion of Hedao, and made good friends with the Wala tribe.

When the decree is issued from the palace, the people in Yingtian City can be said to be in various states of life.

Someone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There are also concerns about whether the New Deal will continue.

There are also some people who think that the emperor's grandson is the crown prince of the country, and he should not leave Beijing so easily, and even go to such dangerous places outside the Nine Border Pass. The misfortune of the country.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi took Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu, four entourages personally appointed by the old man, on the road despite all his thoughts.

Accompanied by Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusizhen Fusun Cheng, secretly guarding Tianmai, Jinyiwei Tiqi, and Shangzhiqin Army Yulinwei with more than a thousand soldiers and horses.

Board a boat and cross the river from Longwan Wharf, and land at Puzikou, Jiangpu County, Yingtianfu.

Taking advantage of the gap between the officers and soldiers transporting the horses ashore, Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and looked around Puzikou.

Puzikou is the closest north shore ferry to Longwan Wharf in Yingtian City, where most people and goods going north will gather.

Today's Puzikou is also like Longwan Wharf, far more lively than before.

The entire Puzikou seems to be crowded with countless people at all times.

In the distance, there are black chimneys spraying thick smoke all the time, no matter it is day or night.

Huge warehouses, with piles of goods being pulled out or brought in all the time.

Gao Yangzhi looked at the emperor's grandson who was paying attention to those workshops and warehouses, couldn't help smiling, stepped forward and explained softly: "Originally, these workshops and warehouses should be located in the area of ​​Yingtian to Taiping Mansion. Later It was because the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion wrote a memorial saying that it would be more convenient to store some things on the north bank, so they moved them here."

"Isn't the prefect of Yingtian your junior brother Zou Xueyu?"

Zhu Yunxi said a word lightly, his eyes swept over Gao Yangzhi's face faintly.

Knowing that the grandson understands everything, Gao Yangzhi didn't feel embarrassed on his face, he still smiled and said: "Since I returned to Beijing, I have never seen this fellow disciple."

We are innocent, even if you are the grandson of the emperor, don't make trouble!

Zhu Yunxi chuckled, and then asked again: "Is Zou Xueyu going to build a new pier in Jiangpu County after the Shangyuanmen Wharf is built and the new water channel connecting Xuanwu Lake is dug?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi stared at Gao Yangzhi calmly, seeing the slight change in the expression on his face.

Gao Yangzhi finally showed an embarrassing smile, and said in a low voice: "I seem to have seen this memorial before, and the cabinet approved it."

"You are all people who have accumulated countless experiences in Jiaozhi Road. You are familiar with the way of being an official. Now how many people have responded to the sky. Now that you have come back, you will take the essence of the original experience and discard the dross to govern in the capital. land."

Zhu Yunxi was talking, and seeing Gao Yangzhi's hesitant appearance, he raised his hand and continued: "Although this is just the beginning, if there are too many workshops around Yingtian with heavy smoke, it won't look good. Move to Jiangbei , keep the capital away from the thick smoke, and facilitate the delivery of goods in Jiangbei, Zou Xueyu thought very well."

Gao Yangzhi nodded and cupped his hands: "It's selfish. If these workshops and warehouses stay in Yingtian Mansion, the taxes will naturally also stay in Yingtian Mansion."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips: "This is the skill of Ying Tianfu. Others have taken a fancy to these workshops, so they can just build them themselves."

Starting from the concentrated spinning and weaving of women in Huangzhuang outside Yingtian City, and then to the workshops built according to local conditions at Taipingfu Mine.

Now, in the entire surrounding area of ​​Yingtian Mansion, there are already countless concentrated manpower workshops built.

With those foreign businessmen coming in an endless stream, at least the current imperial court doesn’t have to worry about the things they make being ignored, and in the end they can only put them all in the warehouse to eat ashes.

He raised his voice and chose to remain silent.

According to His Highness, this is only possible if the local government fights.

Zhu Yunxi was a little dull, looked at the crowded Puzikou, and said, "It's a good thing that Yingtianfu wants to build the Shangyuanmen Wharf. For such things that involve military and state affairs, the imperial court will still have to cooperate step by step between the officials and the people." point."

Gao Yangzhi immediately replied: "The cabinet is already arranging relevant matters around Yingtian, so as not to delay the luck of the common people and merchants, nor delay the court's military and state affairs."

At this time, on the wharf trestle, Niu Dafu, a thousand households of the Beijing Army, was already holding his knife, and walked over majestically.

When Niu Dafu approached, he immediately lowered his head with his hands clasped together, making a loud bang.

"At the end of the day, I will see His Royal Highness Taisun, and I have met Elder Gao Ge."

Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Niu Dafu: "But all the horses have landed?"

Niu Dafu nodded: "Return to Your Highness, now we can continue our journey to Fengyang, the central capital."

"Let's go then!"

Zhu Yunxi let out a low cry, and surrounded by the officers and soldiers brought up by Tian Mai, he passed through the crowded Puzikou.

After leaving Puzikou, another lively scene appeared in Zhu Yunxi's sight.

Zhu Yunxi, who was already on the horseback, waved the whip in his hand and pointed forward: "This is the concrete road leading to Fengyang City."

Gao Yangzhi glanced at it, then looked sideways at Bai Yuxiu who was riding on horseback.

"This matter, I don't know much about it. It's better to have Lao Bai to play with His Highness, right?"

He was pretending to be confused while pretending to be clear, and it was so obvious.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Bai Yuxiu who was beside him with kindness.

The young head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Officials was still somewhat nervous, coughed lightly and said, "Return to Your Highness, this is indeed a cement road leading to Fengyang. The Ministry of Industry started construction at both ends at the same time, and it is expected to be repaired next year."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Bai Yuxiu, and then moved his eyes to the cement road construction site.

Bai Yuxiu frowned, and continued: "According to the written statement of the cabinet, the few cement roads built under the supervision of the imperial court recruited people along the roads to work and perform some processes. Most of them were laborers from... the various roads in Yingzhou. host."

Several people watched the past one after another.

It is nothing new for the imperial court to wantonly use the laborers of various ways in Yingzhou.

Even in the eyes of court officials, as long as they are given a bite to eat, these laborers can work hard for the court, but if there is any dissatisfaction, they can just chop off their heads.

Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty is happy with such a simple matter.

The construction of the country can be carried out in one way. Everyone knows the blood hidden behind it, but no one will take the initiative to single out this matter.

Everyone looked at the construction site, basically unable to tell where the workers came from.

Only by careful observation can one tell that the people of Daming who were recruited from near the road had expressions of joy on their faces.

In fact, the imperial court did not need to recruit people from along the road to work.

It's just that any matter related to the local area, if there is a slight mishandling, it may arouse the anger of the people.

Letting the people along the road participate in the construction of the cement road is not so much a lack of labor, but rather an extra money and grain from the imperial court to appease the people along the road.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "The Ministry of Industry has done a good job. It's just that the railway in the future may not be so easy to build..."

Cement roads can also be built on the original roads. Only in places where some roads are rough, it may be possible to divert or change the terrain.

But railways are different.

In order to ensure the safety of trains, one of the guidelines for railway construction is to keep them as straight as possible.

This reminded Zhu Yunxi of all the things he had heard back then.

Among them, countless are related to issues such as local clan feng shui, which has caused countless turmoil.

However, if Ming Dynasty wants to build a railway, it will probably take some time to prepare.

The team left Puzikou and headed north along the Guandaoyi Road leading to Fengyang Mansion in the central capital.

Going to Fengyang is only three hundred miles away, and it only takes four or five days to get there if you hurry up.

The grandson of the emperor came to Fengyang on behalf of the court to attend the funeral of Xin Guo Gongfu.The news is that before Taisun's team arrived in Fengyang, they had already entered the city.

Fengyang is not like other places, all the people living in the city are the heroes of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Back then, His Majesty the Emperor started from Huaiyou, and Fengyang, as his hometown, was the place with the most meritorious officials.But anyone who can be counted and ranked first must set up a family business in Fengyang City.

Early in the morning.

Outside Fengyang City, the old and the young of Xin Guogong's mansion have all urinated and waited beside the official road.

Even with that, the left-behind department of Zhongdu, Fengyang Mansion, and other families in the city also sent people out of the city.

Originally, according to the intention of staying in the Si Yamen and Fengyang Mansion in the Central Capital, he wanted to go to the Hongxin Station sixty miles away to pick up the emperor's grandson.The officers and soldiers who were dispatched earlier came to report in advance that Fengyang Mansion did not need to go to war, and did not want to disturb the local people.

In this way, people in Fengyang City can only wait outside the city.

Time passed by little by little. At this time, the autumn air was refreshing, and even after waiting a little longer, I didn't feel tired.

It hadn't reached noon that day, and there was already movement on the official road far away.

The government immediately sent officers to inquire about the news.

Not long after, the people from the government came over on horseback.

"It's the grandson!"

"It's His Royal Highness coming down!"

The guards rode on horses and shouted loudly.

The officials of the Fengyang Mansion immediately raised their hands in greeting: "Come on, cheer up! Don't disgrace our Fengyang in front of His Highness!"

If Duke Xin Guo had not passed away, Fengyang Mansion would have arranged three classes of drum music to welcome the emperor's grandson to Fengyang Mansion with drums and gongs.

Staying in Zhongdu looked at the old and young members of the Tang family from the corner of the eye, and then said loudly: "His Royal Highness rarely comes to Zhongdu, this time it can be regarded as returning to the land of the ancestors. Anyone who loses courtesy in front of His Highness will be with you." Everything is right!"

The Tang family who went out of the city today, there are always dozens of people, old and young.

Xin Guo's wife, Mrs. Hu, was wearing imperial orders and tied a hemp rope around her waist. She was surrounded by several daughters and stood at the front of the Tang family's team.

Tang Xie, the fourth son of the Tang family who had returned to Fengyang from Yingtian long ago, led a group of men in the family to wait quietly.

Tang Li, who is currently serving as the governor of the Five Armies, also returned to Fengyang with his fourth brother Tang Xie at that time.

As for Tang Fu, the second child of the Tang family, he has been working as a guard in Taiyuan for these years, although the Tang family sent someone to Taiyuan Mansion to report the funeral on the day Tang He passed away.

But according to the distance, it will take several days for Tang Fu to return to Fengyang.

On the official road, the emperor's grandson Xingzai, Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, Shangzhiqin Army Yulinwei, and flags of various colors stand everywhere.

Even Gao Yangzhi has his own banner, the banner of Wenyuange Grand Scholar.

"Chen and others see His Royal Highness the Grandson."

When the soldiers and horses in front of the team moved away to the two sides, exposing Zhu Yunxi, who was driving on horseback, in front of the families of the various divisions and families in Fengyang, the central capital, everyone bowed and bowed.

This is the second time for His Highness the Emperor Taisun to return to Fengyang.

There is no room for the people of Zhongdu to concentrate their attention and go all out so as not to leave a bad impression in front of the grandson.

Zhu Yunxi sat on the horseback and looked at the crowd below the city.

There are people who stay in the Si Yamen in Zhongdu, people from Fengyang Mansion, and even people from the yamen of Fengyang, Linhuai, Huaiyuan, and Dingyuan counties directly under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Mansion.

In addition, all the meritorious service of Huai You who can be called the name, such as the Liugong and 27 Marquis of the year, were also present one by one.

"Everyone, get up."

Zhu Yunxi rode his horse to the front, and his personal guards stepped forward to lead the horse, but he dismounted lightly.

After Zhu Yunxi, there were Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu and others, as well as the accompanying officials of the six departments and three law departments.

"Thank you, sir."

Under the city, the people of Zhongdu stood up respectfully.

Feng Yunsong, who was staying at Zhongdu, stepped forward immediately: "Your Highness is working in boats and carts, and Zhongdu has already held a banquet today to clean up the dust for His Highness and all of you. Later, you can move to Zhongdu and stay in Sibieyuan."

Staying behind at the Si Yamen in the Central Capital is robbing people!

Qiu Fengzhen, the magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture at the side, glanced at Feng Yunsong, the left-bearer in Zhongdu, and swallowed the words that she wanted to lure His Highness to stay in Fuya Bieyuan.

Zhu Yunxi coughed faintly, and looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi beside him.

Gao Yangzhi immediately stepped forward and said to the people in Zhongdu: "Your Highness enters the city today, first go to the mansion of Lord Xinguo, pay homage to the late Lord Xinguo on behalf of the court, and then move to the imperial city of Zhongdu to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty."

Feng Yunsong, the left-bearer of the Central Capital's left-behind department, and Qiu Fengzhen, the magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture, were suddenly dumbfounded. The emperor's grandson was not going anywhere. He first went to pay homage to Duke Xin, and then went to live in the imperial city.

Give them no chance at all to be courteous.

At this time, Gao Yangzhi said again: "The accompanying soldiers and horses will be settled by the Left Guard Division of the Central Capital. The accompanying officials will be settled by Fengyang Mansion."

The left-behind department of Zhongdu was originally the head office of the guards and horses in the territory of Zhongdu, and it was reasonable to arrange the accompanying soldiers and horses.

The accompanying officials were arranged by Fengyang Mansion, which is also in line with common sense.

It seems unbiased.

But the two brothers Tang Xie and Tang Li were a little nervous.

His Highness went to the city to pay homage to his deceased father at home. This is the court's grace, and the Tang family will only be full of glory.But His Highness wants to stay in the Central Capital Palace, which is a headache.

That ruined man was imprisoned in Fengyang and lived in the Imperial Palace of Zhongdu.

This is a place where you can't look up and look down.

It is inevitable that His Highness will run into someone who is obsolete.
