Villager of Daming

Chapter 961: The embarrassing moment of two sons-in-law

The soldiers guarding Ningwuguan have received the news and gathered together to prepare for the reception.

The person guarding this place is Xie Cheng, the commander of the Taiyuan Capital Guard. His administrative place is in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture.

However, there is a road to be built here at Ningwuguan, and it is better to build a road between the two rivers. The mountain is naturally called a watershed, and a mountain has rivers on both sides.

It is the same as the source of the Wei River in Xi'an Prefecture and the mountains on the tributaries of the Yellow River, including Luonan County and Lantian County. The source of the Luoshui River on the east side of the mountain is the source of the Bashui River on the west side of the mountain.

Xie Chengcheng, the commander of Taiyuan Duweidu, ran over like this. He didn't even know that a group of princes were coming.

When they met at this moment, both parties were very embarrassed.

Historically, Xie Cheng had a daughter who should have married Jin Wang Zhu Fan last year.

He is not married at the moment, and Zhu Xi has not yet taken a wife! The second child has not found a wife, how can the third child advance?

So Xie Cheng's daughter was raised, and it was agreed that she would marry Jin Wang Zhu Fang. The current problem was to find a way to get Zhu Fang to get married first.

After the war, when the country became stable, one person could no longer serve as both a civil servant and a military general, so the military generals were separated from Zhongshu Sheng and entered the Governor's Mansion.

"Thank you, Commander. No need to be polite. Let's talk normally." Zhu Fan stopped his future father-in-law who was about to kneel down.

"I listen to your Highness." Xie Cheng was still at a loss at this moment! Why are you here? There are four of them as soon as you arrive.

Then Xu Da attacked Taiyuan, and Chang Yuchun attacked Datong. He then followed Xu Da who had conquered Taiyuan and ran to Gansu to conquer three counties.

After conquering the three places in Gansu, he got a promise to let his daughter marry Zhu Fan, and he was promoted to the second rank of the governor of Qianshi.

"Thank you, Commander. How is the road construction going? I came here and learned that the Commander is not at home and it is inconvenient to go."

When I was a child, I hugged... no, I even hugged Zhu Fan when he was a child!

Later, we never had the chance to meet each other, and we were always fighting. I followed Xu Da to fight in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. After the battle, I turned around and followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to fight in Beiyuan County.

After being given the official position, he stayed as the commander of the Taiyuan Duweidu. His most powerful place was in the previous official position, the governor of Qianshi.

He had seen photos of his future daughter-in-law, normal ones, a set of photos, which suited him well. He always sent people to deliver things to her, that is, to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Xie Cheng looked at the future son-in-law in front of him and was satisfied. He had been fighting with the 25-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang since he was fourteen.

It’s just that you, King Qin, please hurry up and get married! Why don't you just find a concubine first? After you finish paying, my daughter can get married.

Attack the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, namely Beiping, Zhu Di's fiefdom.

However, he also has a second-rank official position, the Prime Minister of Zuofu in the Jin Palace. To put it bluntly, he works for Zhu Fan. In the entire Jin Palace, his position is below his son-in-law and daughter. When Zhu Fan has other concubines, his status will A little lower.

Zhu Fan had nothing to say, so he mainly wanted to admit the relationship, and then take his father-in-law back with him to meet and have a meal...

This time, he didn't dare to meet her, and actually couldn't. He had to find her father, and then the father would call his daughter to come out. It was etiquette. Her father was not here, so he went to chat with her daughter...

In theory, there are four officials above him who have higher official positions than him, but in fact they are not. He can only enjoy power when he is fighting.

Zhu Yuanzhang needs civil servants to govern the country. The military generals should be given official titles and titles, and then enter the Governor's Mansion when there is no war. It is okay to balance the civil and military affairs, and it is okay to let them take care of themselves in old age.

He, who is also the commander of the Taiyuan Capital Guard, came here to look after his future son-in-law's house. Magistrate Guo and others only had administrative power. If they really wanted to cause trouble, those with military power could deal with them at any time. Ningwuguan is serving sheep soup. It's hot and there are basically no other good things to entertain.

There are not many people in Ningwuguan. They are supported by the Datong Guards to the north. A city is being built there!

The city where Datong City is located is called North Key, and the person responsible for building the city is also very powerful. Geng Zhong, a group of people in this family are all military generals and high-ranking officials, and they have the benefit of following Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

But the result was similar, that is when Zhu Yuanzhang started killing people.

Therefore, they should hope that nothing happens to Prince Zhu Biao, otherwise none of those who have various marriages with other princes will be able to escape.

The city was almost completed, but Zhu Wentian did not stop it. Having a city there would make the whole of Shanxi feel at ease.

Unlike Fengyang City, why is that place so anxious to repair it?

Didn't you see that the three princes' palaces all slowed down! Let’s build the infrastructure first, and then the feudal lord can find a place to live. There are many officials in the palace, so it doesn’t matter. Can we just set up a tent?

A capital guard normally has 5,600 people. Ningwuguan usually has 1,000 households, which is 1,000 people. The family members are not considered combat power, but are included in the logistics.

There are only a few people from the princes here, fifteen thousand in total, and many are sent elsewhere to help the people work. The machinery must be operated by someone, and the various kilns and smelting furnaces must be guided by someone.

There are sheep in Ningwuguan. The grazing place mentioned on the road has few people and many military households. They raise horses, cattle, mules, donkeys and sheep.

Like Beiyuan, a large number of livestock were left in Helin City.

Kill a bunch of them to satisfy everyone's appetite, and mainly use them to entertain the princes.

"Thank you, Commander. The team has picked a lot of wild vegetables, and the dried mushrooms we brought have also been soaked. How can we bake the pies? Put more oil. There is oil in Datong. I will give them ten ships later. "

When Zhu Fan spoke to his father-in-law, he did not address the other party's other official positions, especially the royal minister Zuofu.

He attaches great importance to his father-in-law. His fiefdom is in the north. If there is a war, he will not be able to take command and can only rely on his father-in-law.

This is why princes are given military officers' daughters. The prince sits in the fiefdom, and the father-in-law goes to fight, and the father-in-law can rest assured of the logistics and supplies.

"Your Highness is very knowledgeable about food!" Xie Cheng chatted about family matters. He didn't think he needed to talk to his son-in-law about Ningwuguan. What did his son-in-law know?

"The people study it and then we follow it. The people think about how not to starve to death. I think about how the same thing tastes delicious and then teach it to the people.

Dinner will be late today, and the mutton soup will take a while to simmer. Let's first let Hanhan, the village guard of Xiaqiu Village, and his friends cook some dishes and drink.

Local materials are used, no other external things are used except salt, and the cooking utensils are not considered external. "

Zhu Fan understands that his father-in-law values ​​his identity and never thinks that he has any abilities, hum!

Xie Cheng looked at his son-in-law in surprise and said a few interesting words.

"I will take a look with your highness. It is said that there is an expert in Xiaqiu Village, but no one can see it. What this expert said must be good."

Xie Cheng paid more attention to the li chief, who always held a high position. Other officials, including several generals from Ninghua Institute, were all lined up behind the li chief.

"Thank you, Commander. I'll go over and cook together."

Zhu Fan shook his head. He wanted to show off his skills and let you, the father-in-law, know that if you can't do it, we can.
