Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 36 Fourth uncle?

Early the next morning, a few officials from the Ministry of Industry came.

They brought the 200 taels of silver that Zhu Yuanzhang had promised, and also took away the damaged boilers and steam engines.

Cao Wei excitedly closed the courtyard door tightly, and then eagerly opened the box in the courtyard.

Immediately!

A dazzling white light flashed!

Cao Wei saw the box filled with white money!
In fact, 200 taels of silver, in terms of weight alone, is about a dozen catties. The box containing the 200 taels of silver is not too big, and the silver will not emit any dazzling light.

But looking at the silver in front of him, Cao Wei still felt a little dazzling!
If it weren't for tinkering with steam engines and various karma, as an ordinary citizen, he would never have seen so much silver in his life!

Cao Ying also walked over at this time and took a look into the box, feeling calm.

He had seen too many priceless treasures in the palace, and this mere 200 taels of silver could not arouse his mood swings.

Moreover, Cao Ying had not yet reached the point where he knew how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were, and he could not yet fully understand what these 200 taels meant to an ordinary person.

Although he didn't like the 200 taels of silver, seeing Cao Wei's surprised expression, he was still happy with Cao Wei from the bottom of his heart.

In Cao Ying's heart, Cao Wei is much more important than these yellow and white things!

"Ying'er, come here, carry the box into the house." Cao Wei closed the box with a snap and said to Cao Ying.

Such a huge amount of wealth should naturally be stored away.

The father and son stuffed the box under Cao Wei's bed, but Cao Wei still felt unsafe.

But there is nowhere else to store it at home.

"Ying'er, my father will keep these 200 taels for you first. When my father is gone one day, you should make good use of this money and don't squander it."

"Father, where did I spend so much money? You got this money in the first place, so it should be used by father." Cao Ying said.

"That's what I said, I'm your father, isn't the money I earn just for you to spend?"

It seems that if you don’t become a father, you will never experience the kind of willingness to devote yourself wholeheartedly to your children.

"Then there's no need to keep all of it for me! If the father's money is all left to the child, wouldn't it make the child feel guilty?" Cao Ying said with stubborn eyes.

A warm current ran through Cao Wei's heart, and he looked at Cao Ying and nodded in relief.

He did not pay wrongly...

"We'll talk about the future later. Now I have no use for money as a father."

Cao Ying said something else, but finally swallowed it back.

He knew that his father seemed to be unruly, but sometimes he was a man of one mind.

Then Cao Wei asked Cao Ying to go back to the house to study and left the house.

As usual, I hummed a tune and went to inspect the fields. Then I returned home to pick up a fishing rod and went to the stream where I often fished.

For more than half a month before, Yan Zhenzhi had been fishing with Cao Wei. Today he was the only one left, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

Putting the bait and swinging the pole were done in one go, and then Cao Wei was as motionless as a clay sculpture.

Unbeknownst to Cao Wei at this time, two uninvited guests arrived at his door...

It has been more than half a month since Zhu Di left Beiping, and he could no longer wait any longer.

At first Zhu Di rushed to Yingtian to pay homage to Prince Zhu Biao, and Zhu Yuanzhang also let him live in Yingtian for a few days to rest.

But both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di knew that Peiping was close to the frontier and had a special geographical location. Zhu Di, the King of Yan, could not stay away from Peiping for a long time.

Zhu Di should rest in Yingtian for three to five days at most, and then he should return to Peiping.

But because of Cao Wei, Zhu Di has already stayed in Yingtian for 16 days!
Zhu Di valued Cao Wei enough, and he was willing to wait during this time. Cao Wei said that he would give him an answer by the end of September. In order to show his generosity and sincerity, Zhu Di waited silently until now.

However, it is already the end of September at this time, Cao Wei can't really wait until the last day of September, can he?

Zhu Di wanted to remind Cao Wei that he still owed himself an answer, so he brought Dao Yan to him today.

In the beginning, Zhu Di followed Yan Zhenzhi to find Cao Wei directly, so he naturally knew where Cao Wei's home was.

But at that time, he and Cao Wei were still strangers, and it was nonsense for Zhu Di to come to visit him personally.

But this time is no longer that time. Zhu Di really came here to visit Cao Wei.

Because the Ministry of Industry announced the start of the development of steam engines.

That is to say, Cao Wei's original idea about the steam engine was feasible!

This further proves that Cao Wei is a rare talent!

Such a talent made even Dao Yan shake his head in admiration, and it was worthy of Zhu Di's personal visit.

When he came to the gate of Cao Wei's house, Zhu Di looked it up, and it was just as he imagined, nothing special.

He went forward and knocked on the door, and within a moment, there was a reply from inside.

"coming."

It wasn't Cao Wei's voice, it was a little immature.

It should be Cao Wei's son.

"Squeak~"

The courtyard door was opened.

But when Zhu Di saw the person behind the door, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. He felt that the roots of his hair stood up in an instant!
This one of the most fearless feudal lords in Daming who led the army to charge on the battlefield, his eyes widened suddenly, and he involuntarily stepped back two steps!
I saw his face full of disbelief and horror!
At Cao Wei's house, Zhu Di... unexpectedly met his elder brother Zhu Biao!

That face, except for being a little immature, was almost exactly the same as the former prince Zhu Biao in his impression, as if it was carved out of a mold!

Zhu Di felt a chill in his heart, could it be that he saw a ghost in broad daylight? !

Dao Yan beside Zhu Di was not much better.

He had also met Prince Zhu Biao, and naturally had a deep memory of the prince's noble face.

Seeing Cao Ying suddenly at this time, what he thought in his heart was exactly the same as Zhu Di Nai!
As a monk, encountering ghosts in broad daylight is really scary enough!

For a moment, Dao Yan moved the rosary in his hand quickly, and there was an urge to turn around and run away...

However, Zhu Di is worthy of being one of the most famous generals in the Ming Dynasty at this time. Not only does he have a great temperament, but he also has a strong heart!After the initial thrill, he soon stabilized his mind.

Then he discovered that although the young man in front of him looked very similar to the former prince, upon closer inspection, there were still some differences.

Besides, the prince is already dead, how can he stand in front of them?

at this time,

Cao Ying looked at Zhu Di in front of her, and was also stunned for a while, unable to react.

Cao Ying and his uncle, the Fourth Emperor, have not seen each other for ten years!

"Four...fourth uncle?"

Cao Ying tentatively opened his mouth and called out.

After shouting, I felt something was wrong.

At this time, no one else except Zhu Yuanzhang knew his true identity.

Before he plans to return to the palace, the less people know about his identity, the better.

However, the phrase "fourth uncle" was actually shouted out...

Zhu Di, who had just calmed down, was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning after hearing these words!
Fourth uncle?

An incredible idea came to his mind again!
