The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

It's night, in Liang Run's house.

"Master, I went to the Pei family's deserted house, but I didn't find anything useful." Pei Dingyuan had already confirmed from Zhao Yao that he was from the Pei family, and he had also confirmed his guess from Zhao Yao. Prince.

Zhao Yao not only told Pei Dingyuan's identity, but also told him the speculation about the treasure in Pei's family.

The reason why he told Pei Dingyuan everything was that he hoped that he would remember it in the future.If the Pei family really left a treasure, then as a descendant of the Pei family, he is fully entitled to own it.With the treasure, among other things, he will have no worries about food and clothing in his life.

Pei Dingyuan has no hope for the so-called treasure of the Pei family.If there is, he may not be able to find it, after all, he still can't remember anything about the Pei family.Furthermore, he didn't think the Pei family would leave any treasure behind.

During this period of time, he would go to the Pei family's deserted house from time to time to see if he could remember anything or find anything, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.Also, he never dreamed about anything about the Pei family.

Zhao Yao felt that it was normal for Pei Dingyuan to go to the deserted house of the Pei family and not think of anything. After all, he was neither born nor raised in the Pei family.

"It's fine if you don't find it, you don't want to go to the Pei family's deserted house during this time." Zhao Yao originally didn't expect Pei Dingyuan to think of the Pei family.The doctor said that Pei Dingyuan had a fever when he was a child, but he just lost his memory. It is a very lucky thing that he didn't burn his brain. As for whether he can recover his childhood memory, it depends on God's will.If the doctor is lucky, maybe he will suddenly remember it in the future.If he is unlucky, he will never remember it in his life.

"During this period of time, because foreign envoys have entered the capital, the Shu land may fish in troubled waters, and send people to sneak into the capital again to search for things in the abandoned house of the Pei family." Zhao Yao believed that the Pei family must have left behind. Something may not be a treasure, but it must be an important thing, otherwise Han Zhong in Shu would not take the risk of sending someone to the capital. "If they meet you in Pei's deserted house, then you will be in danger."

"There is also your existence. Han Zhong must not let Han Zhong know, otherwise he will definitely send someone to take you captive to Shu, and he will never let you go if you don't tell the whereabouts of the treasure."

After hearing this, Pei Dingyuan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Master, it's all because I'm useless, I can't think of any useful clues."

"Don't force yourself." Zhao Yao comforted Pei Dingyuan and said, "Let's just let it happen, maybe you will remember it one day."

Pei Dingyuan didn't dare to tell Zhao Yao that he went to the Pei family's deserted house so many times, but he never had any emotion for the Pei family's deserted house, he just felt strange.

"Master, what if I can't remember for the rest of my life?"

"If you can't remember it, you can't remember it." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "You are not living for the so-called treasure of the Pei family, so you can't live if you can't remember it. It's not a serious thing if you can't remember it. There's no need to care."

As Zhao Yao said, seeing Pei Dingyuan's guilty face, he comforted him and said, "I don't care, you really don't have to worry about it."

"But……"

"I told you about your identity and the fact that the Pei family may have a treasure. I think this is something you should know, not for you to find the treasure. If you find the treasure, I won't want it. If you don't find the treasure, I will I won't blame you either."

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Pei Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I took you in and trained you not because you are from the Pei family. Besides, when I took you in, I didn't know you were from the Pei family." Zhao Yao felt that Pei Dingyuan had misunderstood his intentions, so he had to make it clear to save Pei Dingyuan has been misunderstood. "I hope you will learn something in the future and help me."

Pei Dingyuan's face flushed with shame, "Master, I..." It's his villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly.

"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart, and I hope you don't take it to heart." Zhao Yao smiled and said to Pei Dingyuan, "Your task now is to study hard, try to get admitted to Taixue as soon as possible, and then do well in Taixue. Learn, so that you can help me better."

After hearing this, Pei Dingyuan no longer felt uneasy.

"Yes, young master, I will never disappoint your expectations."

"By the way, back then, the Pei family ransacked and beheaded, and no one dared to collect their corpses, so they were thrown into mass graves and buried indiscriminately." The Pei family was indeed wronged back then, but they did a lot at that time The bad thing also angered many people, which led to no one collecting their bodies after they were ransacked and beheaded. "The mass graves from the previous dynasty are no longer there. During the turmoil, they were dug up and burned. Now it's a barren hill. It's outside the capital. Do you want to go and see it?"

Pei Dingyuan was silent.After a while, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yao, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Master, I heard you say that, and there is no disturbance in my heart. Am I too cruel and heartless?"

"Normal, they are strangers to you. Besides, it's been so long, it's normal for you to have no disturbances in your heart." Zhao Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with Pei Dingyuan thinking this way, "I'm telling you this, not to let What do you do, but want you to know."

Pei Dingyuan knew what Zhao Yao meant, he hesitated and asked: "Master, Concubine Pei... where is she buried in the end?"

"She was not buried in the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty, but this is not a bad thing. The imperial tomb of the previous dynasty was dug up by the rebels, and it seems that there is no one left." Zhao Yao said, "The tomb of Concubine Pei is similar to that of the eunuchs in the palace. The court ladies are buried together, in the part of the royal courtyard..."

Zhao Yao told Pei Dingyuan the detailed address of Concubine Pei's tomb, "It may not be all right there."

"I want to go and see." Pei Dingyuan always remembered that the person in the dream must let him go to worship.He wondered if he was asked to worship Concubine Pei.

"Be careful when you go, and be careful not to be discovered." Zhao Yao warned, "After all, it will be very strange to go there to worship, and it will arouse suspicion."

"Don't worry, young master, I will pay attention." Pei Dingyuan thought to himself, maybe going to worship Concubine Pei would remind him of something.

After Zhao Yao told Pei Dingyuan about the Pei family, he chatted with Tong An.

Some time ago, he discovered that Tong An had a talent for drawing regional maps, that is, drawing maps, so he asked Tong An to make good use of his talent.

Zhao Yao first asked Tong'an to draw a map of the capital in detail, including every alley, every restaurant, and every road.

Tongan also likes to draw maps, and thinks it is much better than drawing people and scenery.He now goes for a walk in the capital every day, and writes down the streets and houses he sees.

During this time, he had already drawn a detailed map of West City.

I always play in the West Market on weekdays, but I don't know how big the West Market is.After looking at the map drawn by Tong'an, he realized that the West Market is so big and has so many streets, alleys and bridges.

Liang Run and Pei Dingyuan were amazed every time they saw the map drawn by Tongan.

Looking at the map, Zhao Yao suddenly thought of another thing.He asked Tong'an, "Tong'an, can you draw a new map or improve the old map through other maps or the records of local chronicles?"

Tong An was slightly stunned by Zhao Yao's question.He said hesitantly: "I don't know, I haven't tried it after all."

"Then you can try it now." Zhao Yao was thinking about one thing.The map of Lingnan is very old, as if it was drawn in the previous dynasty.During the turmoil in the previous dynasty, Lingnan was not spared, and many riots occurred.Later, after Grandpa Huang established the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lingnan was still rioting, and Fuel sent troops to suppress it.

Lingnan was once invaded by the Annan Kingdom in the previous dynasty.When the Great Zhou was first established, Lingnan was still occupied by An Nanguo.

Zhao Yao wants a brand new Lingnan map so that he can manage Lingnan well in the future.He asked his second uncle if any of his people could draw maps, and the second uncle said no.

"Yes, sir."

"After a few years, Tong'an, you go to Lingnan." Zhao Yao told Pei Dingyuan and the others about his going to Lingnan in the future. "Your first task after going to Lingnan is to draw a map of Lingnan."

"Yes, young master." Before he went to Lingnan, he must practice his map drawing skills again.

Seeing that Zhao Yao had something to say to Liang Run, Pei Dingyuan and Tong An left wisely.

After they left, Liang Run first reported to Zhao Yao the profit of their store during this period.

Currently, Liang Run has opened several stores in Beijing.The food delivery business is still going on, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Now it has delivered food to many officials' homes.

A store specializing in things from the Western Regions, a store specializing in cotton coats and quilts, and a store specializing in things such as soap and rouge gouache.

The business of these stores is very good, and they have opened branches in other places in the capital.

Let's talk about soap, which became popular in the capital a few months ago.

Soap was given to the emperor by Liang Shuren, Zhao Yao's grandfather.The emperor liked it very much, and the soap became popular afterwards.

Although the Liang family concealed the soap's formula from the outside world, some people still cleverly figured out the formula for making scented soap.However, other people's soaps are not as fine as Liang's.

The soap made by the Liang family is a tribute, and no one dares to target the Liang family because of the soap.

Because of the soap, the Liang family's business in Yangzhou is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhao Yao's small coffers are getting richer and richer.However, Zhao Yao has a lot to do, and he has to continue to make money.

Among other things, it will cost a lot of money to build Lingnan in the future.

In addition to spending a lot of money to build Lingnan in the future, it will also cost a lot of money to set up a fleet to sail to the West.

Because he didn't know why the sea ban would be abolished, Zhao Yao didn't rush to ask his grandfather and uncle to help them build sea ships.In fact, the main reason is that he feels that the current sea-going ships are not good enough, not to mention other things, but the combat capability is not good.

On the way to the Western Ocean, you will encounter many dangers, especially pirates.If there is no certain combat capability, the crew will only die in a foreign land.

There must be advanced weapons on board... A picture suddenly popped up in Zhao Yao's mind, a scene of Zheng He's voyages to the West in the history of Zhao Yao's world in his dream.

"Fire and medicine!" Zhao Yao suddenly slapped the table hard, then stood up abruptly, "Why did I forget about fire and medicine?"

Sorry, veterans, I have something to do today, and I didn’t come back until after nine o’clock in the evening. I can only update a chapter of more than 3000 words.

I originally wanted to stay up late tonight to write the second update, but I have to take the high-speed train to Xi'an tomorrow morning, so I have to give up.

At noon tomorrow, I will write it on the high-speed rail.
