Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 227 New Year's Eve Dinner

"Xiao Yunxuan, do you really want to go to Guangzhou?"

During the dinner, Zhu Song asked reluctantly: "If you go to such a far place, will you not come back for a long time?"

Zhu Xuan said: "It's easy for me to come back. The Yingtian ship is very fast. If Uncle Twenty misses me, he can come to Guangzhou. When the time comes, I will build a merchant ship for Uncle Twenty. Not only can I go south at any time, Come down to Guangzhou and meet me, and you can take the goods to Nanyang to sell at any time."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has opened the sea, and the people of Ming Dynasty can go to sea to trade.

Zhu Song could use the official method to bring Ming Dynasty's goods, sell them overseas, and make a lot of money.

"This works!"

Zhu Song had not yet considered going to sea for trade, and when he heard that Zhu Xuan could give him a big ship, he said excitedly: "Little Yunxuan is still loyal enough, then I will wait for your merchant ship, and I can buy it with money."

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "With our relationship, Uncle Twenty should not talk about money with me. Next, my focus will shift to Guangzhou and Annan, our Daming Bookstore and publishing house. I have no time to manage my part." I will keep 10% of the proceeds and transfer the rest to Uncle Twenty.”

He basically no longer cares about Daming Bookstore. It would be very uninteresting to rely entirely on Zhu Song to maintain it, but to split money among it.

Zhu Xuan thought about it and decided that it would be better to transfer it to Uncle Twenty.

"You don't have to give it to me. You can take the profits."

Zhu Song couldn't ask for it and refused: "Yunxi also came to me and told me that he wanted to return all the profits of the publishing house, but I didn't want it. Besides, my factory in Annan also had part of the profits. I will be responsible for the Daming Bookstore. Annan Xiao Yunxuan is in charge of the factory, so I think I’ve made a lot of money.”

Because Annan's factory is run by Zhu Xuan himself, it will be more profitable to dump goods and plunder raw materials as mentioned some time ago.

He thought he had taken advantage.

"Then I'll keep it."

Zhu Xuan is not pretentious either.

Zhu Song said: "Xiao Yunxuan, you must remember to give me my merchant ship."

What he was more worried about was this.

He was excited just thinking about having a merchant ship that could go to sea, equipped with a few artillery pieces, and shooting down the remaining Japanese pirates while out on the waves.

"There will be!"

Zhu Xuan affirmed.

The feast continues.

The princes and grandsons came forward and said a few words of congratulations to Grandpa Huang to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhu Xuan finished his congratulations quickly and looked at the two young wives. They were chatting happily with Aunt Twenty and did not bother them. His eyes fell on Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi noticed Zhu Xuan looking over and just smiled in response, then started eating and drinking.

Also eating and drinking were brothers Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunwen had no expression on his face. He sat quietly in his seat, did not say hello to anyone else, and just drank.

Zhu Yunwen like this really has the potential to become a big boss.

Zhu Xuan believes that when he fights the boss at the end, he will fight Zhu Yunwen.

But now there is no way to strangle Zhu Yunwen in the cradle. Even if a few people are found to assassinate Zhu Yunwen, the impact will be great, so he does not dare to mess around.

"Forget it, let's go with the flow!"

Zhu Xuan was thinking in his mind that when he was almost developed, even if Zhu Yunwen led the entire White Lotus Sect to take revenge, he would not be afraid. He would be able to kill as many people as they came.

Time passed quickly and the reunion dinner was over.

It was already late at night and the weather was getting colder.

Zhu Xuan did not send his two young daughters-in-law out of the palace. There was an empty room next to the yard. He asked Hou Xian to tidy it up and find bedding for them to stay temporarily.

Living in the palace for the first time, Xu Miaojin was older and understood the meaning, and was a little excited.

"younger brother!"

Mu Yuanjun asked expectantly: "Can you accompany us?"

Suddenly coming to a strange place, she couldn't sleep yet, so she just wanted Zhu Xuan to stay with her. Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "Of course. Sister Yuanjun, take a good rest. I'll be watching from your side."

Mu Yuanjun had a sweet smile on his face, grabbed Zhu Xuan's hand, and quickly fell asleep.

Xu Miaojin saw her, hugged Mu Yuanjun, and fell asleep after a while.

After they all fell asleep, Zhu Xuan went back to his room, stretched out, planned what he could do in Guangzhou, and then fell asleep.

-

The Lantern Festival arrived unknowingly.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, he will leave Yingtian tomorrow.

During the past half month, Zhu Xuan had been accompanying Grandpa Huang, which made Grandpa Huang satisfied. On the night of the Lantern Festival, he slipped out of the palace and found his two young wives to watch the lanterns together.

The ancient Lantern Festival was still very lively and a relatively grand day.

Even in the dynasties where there was a curfew, on the night of the Lantern Festival, the curfew would be lifted to allow people to go out and play.

"So lovely!"

Mu Yuanjun said happily.

Xu Miaojin asked: "I don't know if we can be together like now in the future."

Zhu Xuan will go to Guangzhou soon, which also means that they will still be separated. Although they can see each other often, Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun cannot stay in Guangzhou forever. They are not married yet and they are not compatible with each other.

They may not care, but Xu Miaojin is a little worried that those ministers will use this matter to impeach Zhu Xuan, causing some bad effects.

"of course can!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "I can come to you at any time. When the time comes, I will also give Sister Miaojin a big ship."

"This seems pretty good."

Xu Miaojin said happily.

Zhu Xuan said: "Water navigation is not the most convenient. The more convenient means of transportation is the railway. When the time comes, I will convince Grandpa Huang to build a railway from Yingtian to Guangzhou and then to Yunnan."

However, the railway is still just a dream, and many technical difficulties need to be overcome, which is not just as simple as laying a layer of rails on the road.

The world's first railway, which was only 40 kilometers long, took three years.

We need to wait for the technical staff in the Science Pavilion to study it slowly.

"What is a railroad?"

Mu Yuanjun asked curiously.

"It's a car that can drive on land, very fast, and never sleeps."

Zhu Xuan explained this.

But they don’t quite understand it yet.

It doesn't matter even if they don't understand, it's enough for them to think that Zhu Xuan is very powerful, and they are proud of Zhu Xuan's greatness.

"Brother, let's go guess lantern riddles!"

Mu Yuanjun suddenly pulled them and walked towards an open space.

There are lanterns hanging here, which looks very lively.

At midnight, people from the Gunpowder Department brought fireworks one by one, lit them and flew into the sky.

The fireworks were prepared by Zhu Xuan to liven up the atmosphere tonight.

"Look, brother, it's so beautiful!"

The moment they saw the fireworks flying, Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun cheered.

Then, the people in the city all looked up to the sky and shouted together. The lively voices echoed in the city. At this scene, the people were grateful again. The Ming Emperor brought them a place where they did not have to be bullied by foreigners. world.
