Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 30
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, officials will have a total of six days off from the first day of the new year to the sixth day of the new year, which is called rest.

In addition, the emperor will entertain civil and military officials in the palace on New Year's Eve. Although this is not a rule, it is also an unwritten practice.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know what the New Year's Eve banquet was like, because he had never participated in it before, even when the old man was in charge of Yingtian.

For the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhu Zhanhe only heard three points from other people's mouths, and had to rely on associations for the rest.

But he didn't mind it very much, because he didn't have this ambition, and going to Yunnan to become a fan was the direction he had been working hard on.

No dynasty can prosper forever, but in the early Ming Dynasty, especially the period of Yongle prosperity and Renxuan rule, it is the best chance to show bad.

Sitting in his seat, watching his father socialize with the officials coming and going, all Zhu Zhanhe thought about was what to do in the future.

Storage spaces?He didn't think so.

There is no eternally strong dynasty, as long as it is still a family, the torrent of history will still come back and smash everything, but in this case, is it possible to destroy the family?
Maybe it is possible, but Zhu Zhanhe doesn't want to.

People are selfish, and so is he.

There are two roads in front of him now, one is to fight for it for the rest of his life, constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and even deal with countless people who want his life.

And the other is to be a stable upper-class nobleman, don't worry about eating and drinking too much in clothes, and no one will say anything about you even if you sing and sing every night and spend your days licentious.

Which of these two paths is better?It goes without saying.

After socializing casually with the officials who came up to fawn on him, Zhu Zhanhe lowered his head and looked at the teacup in front of him, and began to think about what he could do.

Start the Industrial Age?
Don't be ridiculous, this is not YY. Although the steam engine is easy to make, it is so easy to start the industrial age?
Where do you get the rubber that acts as a piston?Yes, with Zheng He's fleet, it may be difficult to go to South America, but it can still be achieved. What about petroleum products?
Even if gasoline and diesel are not needed, lubricating oil is necessary, right?Can vacuum distillation be done in this era that can be said to have no modern scientific and technological foundation?

No lube?Even if the steam train and steam ship can be made, it is still a toy, and it is impossible to popularize it.

Modified firearms?It is also difficult.

Although Daming's Shenji Battalion is leading the world now, its artillery is nothing more than a cannon and a cannon, not even the Hongyi cannon that is often seen in TV dramas.

Firearms?Let’s upgrade to the stage of flintlock guns. After that, chemistry will be needed to make percussion primers. Where can I get mercury fulminate?

"What do you think?"

Zhu Zhanhe was immersed in his own thoughts, he didn't notice the changes in the outside world at all, and he didn't even know that his grandfather Yongle Emperor had come to him under the gaze of everyone.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Just call grandson if you have something to do."

Zhu Zhanhe who was awakened hastily got up and saluted the old man, feeling bitter at the same time.

On this occasion, the old man came here in person. Isn't that putting him on the fire?

"Hehe, I wanted to, but I called you several times and refused to answer." The old man smiled kindly, and sat beside Zhu Zhanhe under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"What are you thinking? So engrossed?"

"Ah...it's nothing, I'm just attending this New Year's Eve dinner for the first time, thinking about something useless."

Naturally, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't tell the old man what he wanted, whether he could say it was one thing, but whether he would be a fool was another.

"Yeah, it's your first time attending this New Year's Eve dinner."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect that the old man would feel emotional after hearing his words.

"Actually, in the early years, grandpa also thought about asking your father to bring you here, at least let everyone in the world know the son of King Han of our Daming, but at that time you were weak and sick, and your mother took care of you tightly, so grandpa just gave up. gone."

"How was it? How was this New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Very good." Zhu Zhanhe nodded and responded formulaically.

"It's good, but it's only here..."

Zhu Zhanhe's heart skipped a beat at the old man's sudden words, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." The old man suddenly changed the subject, so that Zhu Zhanhe couldn't react for a while.

"After the new year, you should be ten years old, right? It's time to choose a princess for you."

As Zhu Di spoke, he patted Zhu Zhanhe on the shoulder, smiling all over his face: "In the past two years, you have been running outside a lot. Tube."

"How about it, is there any daughter in the past two years that our King of Han has taken a fancy to?"

……

The old man turned the corner quickly and anxiously, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't keep up all of a sudden, and he just stood there in a daze.

What's the point of talking about the New Year's Eve dinner, turning the corner and going straight to the point of marrying a wife?
Also, what happened to the ominous premonition I had earlier?Is my neuroticism wrong?

"Hahaha……"

Looking at Zhu Zhanhe who was in a daze, Zhu Di laughed out loud, causing all the officials around him to flatter and laugh too.

"Why, are you still embarrassed?" Zhu Di lightly patted Zhu Zhanhe's head.

"You are ten years old, and you have reached your age. Besides, you are still a little man. Why are you shy?"

In the Ming Dynasty, thirteen or fourteen years old was considered to be over the legal marriage age, and 20 years old was equivalent to the leftover men and women in their 30s, so it is not too early for Zhu Di to say this at this time.

It's hard to imagine that there are many people who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and even have children. Zhu Zhanhe feels a little too much...

It's not mature yet, is it?It is really a miracle to be able to conceive, and it is no wonder that giving birth to a child was equivalent to walking through the gate of hell in ancient times.

Thirteen or fourteen years old... Tsk tsk, it's strange that it's easy.

"Back to grandpa, grandson is only ten years old, don't worry about it." Zhu Zhanhe lowered his head slightly, he didn't want to get married so early.

"In contrast, my grandson thinks that grandpa should be anxious about cousin Zhanji. Only when cousin Zhanji gets married and has children as soon as possible can the foundation of the Ming Dynasty be stabilized."

……

Zhu Zhanhe stopped the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve dinner with just one sentence.

Zhu Di still had a smile on his face, but it was obviously frozen.

what is this?Put yourself in Daming's shoes?Or is it retreating to advance, wanting to seek more and bigger things?

No one dared to speak, and Zhu Gaoxu on the side was also full of anger, but he didn't dare to speak at all.

The old man has finally paid attention to you, and he is so peaceful and loving. If you don't seize the opportunity to build a good relationship, it's fine. How dare you say such things?
