Chapter 169 169: I am deeply impressed by Taoist Master Fu’s righteousness!
The incident about thousand-year-old ginseng made Zhu Yuanzhang extremely distressed, and he was still brooding about it!
Unexpectedly, this damned auspicious person would actually want to buy his only two finished longevity pills?
Unless he, Zhu Yuanzhang, had a hole in his head, he would not exchange such a precious thing for national fortune and auspiciousness!
I didn't expect this guy to pop up right away and want to take advantage of life-extending pills. Who else would I scold him for?
"Dad, you don't look good, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yue looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat ugly expression, somewhat baffled.
The longevity pills were given to the old man, and two pills were enough for him and Zhu Biao. Why did his face look so ugly?
"It's nothing, we just feel it's a pity. Originally, Biao'er could live for ten more years, but now he only has seven or eight years!"
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wouldn't say that National Destiny Xiangrui wanted to trick him again, and sighed helplessly.
"Maybe this is life!"
Zhu Yue shrugged noncommittally.
"Yes, this is life!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.
The current situation is entirely caused by his having national luck and auspiciousness!
If he didn't know what was going to happen in the future, maybe he would have to give up to the black-haired person now!
It is already March of the 25th year of Hongwu. According to the original history, Zhu Biao died of illness on April 25th of this year!
Perhaps compared with the original history, Zhu Biao could live for seven or eight more years, which is already a pretty good result!
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang almost fell asleep with these two finished longevity pills in his arms!
Originally, he wanted to take one, but unfortunately it was still hot. Taking it now would definitely burn his mouth!
There’s no rush anyway, just wait until it cools down before taking it!
As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang woke up the next morning, he found that the two longevity pills were still hot, and he couldn't help but be amazed!
After lunch that day, Zhu Yuanzhang took out the two longevity pills again and found that the heat was still unabated. While he was curious, he also felt depressed!
This thing shouldn't always be so hot, right?
How do people take this?
"Old Jiu, why is this elixir still scalding hot after so long?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help it, so he asked Zhu Yue.
"After all, after staying in the alchemy furnace for ten days, some temperatures are normal!"
Hearing this, Zhu Li explained in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.
"How long will this situation last?"
"When will it cool down?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.
"It only takes a few days!"
Zhu Yue thought for a while, and then gave the old man a rough time. After all, he couldn't tell for sure. Anyway, a few days would be enough for the longevity pill to cool down!
……
Time flies.
Another ten days have passed.
The time has also come to the third day of April in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu!
On this day, Zhu Yue was drinking tea with Zhu Yuanzhang in the pavilion, when he received the news from Xi'an Mansion!
"Dad, we don't have time to build the business building in Yingtian Mansion for the time being, but the business building in Xi'an Mansion has been built!"
After Zhu Yue read the news from Xi'an Mansion, he smiled directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang had asked Zhu Yue before, asking him to build a commercial building for Yingtian Mansion.
He can also understand, after all, Yingtian Mansion is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If there is such a business building, it must be used as a front!
But didn’t the old man plan to move the capital to Xi’an first?
The business building in Xi'an Prefecture has been built, and it's the same!
"Oh? Will it be built so soon?"
"When we came here in the first month of the year, it seemed like we had just built a framework!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes lit up!
"Well, the main body of the building has been completed, and the interior decoration is almost done. Now only the electricity part is left, and my son has to make a trip himself!"
Zhu Li nodded and told Zhu Yuanzhang about going to Xi'an Mansion.
"Well, it just so happens that we also want to take a look. By the way, why don't we just renovate the original Qin Prince's Mansion?"
"After all, it's going to be used as a palace, so we need to find someone to take care of it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested at this time and wanted to go with Zhu Yue!
"Okay, then let's go now?"
"Would you like to call my mother?"
Zhu Yue asked at this time.
"It's just us, father and son, don't let her follow us back and forth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly.
It's mainly just the father and son, so it's easier to talk about anything without having to worry about other people being present!
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue took a luxurious carriage that day and set off directly to Xi'an Mansion with a team of royal guards and five hundred Han Dynasty guards.
Because they were all driven by horses, Zhu Yuanzhang's luxurious carriage ran very fast. It was only more than 300 miles of cement road from Hanzhong Mansion to Xi'an Mansion. When it got dark, the group had already arrived at Xi'an Mansion.
There is no need to worry about the electricity problem in the business building. Just wait until daytime.
The father and son arrived at the palace and lived there immediately. At the same time, they also began to plan for the former Qin Palace!
After all, it is to be used as a palace. Even if it is a temporary palace, it must be laid out and arranged according to the emperor's specifications!
So there are quite a lot of details to change.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of craftsmen in Xi'an now. Zhu Li estimates that as long as the details of the rectification are finalized, there will be tens of thousands of craftsmen, and it will take three or four months to complete it!
After all, the northwest is Zhu Yue's base camp. Even if the capital is moved to Beiping in the future, he will have to wait until he becomes emperor in the future and build the Forbidden City in Beiping first!
As for Yingtian Mansion being too far away, temporarily moving Kyoto to Xi'an Mansion is indeed in line with Zhu Li's wishes!
As for how to deal with the civil servants and generals in the court, Zhu Li actually already has a rough plan in mind!
If nothing unexpected happens, in a year or two at most, he will be able to make most of the high-ranking officials in the court start to lean towards him!
Of course, the premise is that the old man and his eldest brother Zhu Biao will help him!
It seems that there is no need to worry about this now!
In addition to the temporary palace, the offices of the Six Ministries, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple and other yamen offices also need to be planned and constructed in advance!
Although Xi'an Mansion has all been replaced with cement roads, Zhu Li has not yet started the city planning and construction. He originally planned to wait for the real estate project to start operation, and then also make changes to Xi'an Mansion!
Now it seems that we have to start planning in advance!
Because of this incident, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuanzhang were busy in Xi'an Mansion for a few days, and then they began to let the officials and construction teams below begin the reconstruction and construction of the palace and various yamen!
As for the electricity problem in the Hanzhong Business Building, Zhu Li came here mainly to improve the original electric drive!
Now in the business building of Hanzhong Mansion, the electric drive relies on Qi to convert electrical energy, but Zhu Li plans to switch to thermal drive this time!
The magic weapon he refined plays a role similar to the generator of later generations. As long as the firepower can be guaranteed, sufficient power supply can be guaranteed!
But in this way, the amount of coal burned is naturally not a small amount, and it is much more than the amount of coal required for a real generator!
Just like a thermal power station in later generations, one ton of coal can produce light, but here in Zhu Yue it takes five tons!
That means coal consumption is five times more than in later generations!
Fortunately, Xi'an Prefecture may not have other things, but it has a lot of coal!
Shaanxi is also a major coal-producing province. Zhu Yue has already mined several large-scale coal mines because of briquettes!
If that doesn't work, look for opportunities to mine all the massive coal mines in Shanxi next door!
For example, Datong has the largest coal reserves, but Datong is the fiefdom of the thirteenth generation king Zhu Gui. He just went to Datong to claim vassal status after the Chinese New Year!
However, this little brother had already written to me several times before the feudal dynasty, expressing his closeness. He must have been instructed by the old man before!
Just take care of this thirteenth brother when the time comes!
Xi'an Prefecture uses thermal power to generate electricity, and Zhu Yue has also considered it. When the time comes, he will also connect the lines of the palace to ensure that the palace can also have electricity supply! The yamen of the imperial court can also receive instructions from this!
When those civil servants and generals saw that the offices in Xi'an Mansion actually had magical lighting tools like electric lamps, they must not be willing to stay in Yingtian Mansion where they still have to light candles, right?
"It would be great if we could refine a larger batch of this electrically powered magic weapon!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh after seeing that the Hanzhong Business Building was connected to electricity.
"It's unrealistic. It's okay to refine a few to temporarily replace the power generation equipment. The main reason is that the materials for refining these things are difficult to obtain!"
“In the future, real industrial power generation will still be the main focus!”
Zhu Li shook her head in confusion.
Even though he has a magical skill, this thing cannot be mass-produced!
Even the donkeys of the production team are not used like this!
"Lao Jiu, if these electric drives can absorb lightning, for example, when it is windy or rainy, if they absorb some lightning, can they save the cost of burning charcoal?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
"It's okay, but it won't rain and thunder every day!"
Zhu Yue shook her head and directly denied it!
It's not like he hasn't considered it before, and he even thought about using solar energy to generate electricity. But the problem is that after the northwest enters winter, the sunlight is not that sufficient!
After all, it is impossible for him to build a large-scale solar photovoltaic power plant like that of later generations!
Technology has not developed to that level yet, so it is not allowed at all!
So the best solution at present is to rely on firepower!
After settling the matter in Xi'an Mansion, the father and son returned directly to Hanzhong Mansion without staying any longer.
But just after returning to the Han Palace, Zhu Li heard something.
An old Taoist priest from a Taoist temple has been coming to the Han Palace to look for him for several days, but it's a pity that he is not in Hanzhong!
Zhu Li probably knew why the old Taoist priest was looking for him, so he didn't take it to heart.
The father and son came to sit in the pavilion, drinking tea, and chatting about some details of the preparations needed to move the capital!
"Your Highness, Taoist Master Fu has come to see you again!"
At this moment, Zhao Jian came to report.
"You go about your own business first, don't worry about us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly.
"Okay, take people to the study!"
Zhu Yue nodded and gave instructions to Zhao Jian again.
Soon, Zhu Li saw a dusty old Taoist priest in the study.
Just looking at his face, this old Taoist priest has a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and a goatee, which makes him look even more vulgar!
This kind of appearance belongs to the kind of villain who looks like he is full of evil!
However, the truth is exactly the opposite!
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome!"
After Zhu Li saw the old Taoist priest, he immediately laughed.
"The old Taoist has met His Highness the King of Han!"
The old Taoist priest bowed to Zhu Li very politely.
Zhu Yue motioned for the other party to sit down and talk, and then ordered the servants to serve tea directly!
"Your Highness, there's no need to bother!"
"I'm here today to return something!"
"Your Highness, please take back the contents of this box!"
As the old Taoist priest spoke, he pushed a box directly in front of Zhu Yue.
Zhu Yue had heard from Zhao Jian that after the old Taoist priest had been here a few times, he knew the purpose of the other party's visit. Unexpectedly, he actually had to guess it!
This box was something he had sent to the old Taoist master and disciple before. It contained some gold and silver money!
Not long ago, Zhu Yue heard that there was a 700-year-old ginseng in Mangrove Mountain, so he sent someone to build a Taoist temple there!
Zhu Yue also knows that the ancestors plant trees and the descendants enjoy the shade!
So once you find a relatively old ginseng, go directly to the local area to build a Taoist temple to protect that ginseng!
For example, the kind of ginseng that is seven or eight hundred years old can be used for another two or three hundred years. Even if he cannot wait until that time, his descendants will still be able to use it!
Currently, two ginsengs like this have been marked, one is 800 years old, and the other is more than 600 years old!
Including the current one that is over 700 years old, that’s three!
"Fellow Taoist, why is this happening?"
"These are just some of my thoughts. Besides, what's the point of taking back what I've given away?"
Zhu Li pushed the box back to the old Taoist priest again!
"Your Highness, it was because my apprentice was ignorant that I accepted all this money!"
"The old Taoist has hands and feet, and there are several acres of fertile farmland near the Taoist temple on Mangrove Mountain, which is enough for us masters and apprentices to live on! Besides, the old Taoist juniors and apprentices have now set up a team to exorcise corpses, so it's not hard work The old Taoist will definitely not accept the wealth!"
"His Highness has contributed money and effort to help Lao Dao and his fellow apprentices build the Taoist temple. Lao Dao is already grateful. He will definitely help His Highness guard the spirit of ginseng for generations to come!"
Taoist Fu said in a serious tone.
"Fellow Taoist is really righteous!"
"Let's see, this box of things will be regarded as the incense money I gave to Hongyun Taoist Temple in advance. If I encounter people in need of help in the future, or suffering people who need disaster relief, wouldn't it be better for Taoist friends to take it out? "
“Not only can you accumulate merit, but you can also help others!”
Zhu Yue persuaded again.
After some refusals, Daozhang Fu finally accepted the contents of the box, mainly because he was convinced by Zhu Li's words!
"Your Highness, the old man is leaving!"
After Taoist Fu put away the box, he said goodbye and left.
Zhu Li looked at the old Taoist priest's back and showed a smile.
