Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 199 199 Private Interview on Weibo
Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried about the behavior of the future emperor of Ming Dynasty.

But he finally figured something out.

That is, after future generations become emperors, there will be few people as diligent as him.

He was deeply impressed by the late Emperor Chongzhen, who was diligent in governing but also made some random policies, which only made matters worse.

and many more.

Is it possible that future generations think of us this way, and that’s why they don’t continue my political ideas?

So Zhu Yuanzhang chose to take a walk out of the palace with unfamiliar-looking guards.

This is also in line with his image as the head of the Ministry of Industry returning to the capital on a business trip. Now Wang Buli often walks on the street, what if he encounters him?

Zhu Yuanzhang also experienced the newly built public toilet.

There was someone dedicated to cleaning it, and it didn't look dirty, which made him feel good.

He looked at the people around him sitting on the side and talking, feeling extremely comfortable, just like taking a bath in a hot spring.

"Have you heard that the bookstore opened by Prince Consort in Shangyuan County opened today? I heard the children on the street say that young people don't read Water Margin, and old people don't read Three Kingdoms."

Otherwise, there would be no way to start, and he really didn't want to come in.

People who really fought in the war read this book for fun, but this book is very misleading to many people's descriptions of war, so he felt that this book was really good.

Zhu Yuanzhang entered the bathhouse and washed himself first, then took the towel issued to him and entered the pool.

Listening to the noisy sounds in his ears, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his whole body felt much more comfortable after taking a bath. Apart from smelling some stench on the street, he had no shortcomings.

If someone really used The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a military book, they would be laughing their ass off!
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, military books were not very popular.

Zhu Yuanzhang still highly praised this book.

At this time, most of the errands of bathing in the bathhouse fell on relatives who were errands in the county government in Jiangning County.

Zhu Yuanzhang also did not want anyone to learn the art of war, unless it was those military generals whose families educated their descendants.

In short, the process is to take a shower first and then take a bath.

In big cities like Beijing, there are more people who rely on this craft to make a living.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the introduction of the person who greeted him at the door, and probably took a shower first, and then took a bath after his body was warm.

If there are any problems, we can report them at the appropriate time so that we can improve them as soon as possible and get back on track.

Most of the people who came to take a bath were neighbors who had contributed a lot in the beginning, and came with the bathing tickets issued by Wang Buli.

"Oops." The people soaking in the surroundings heard Zhu Yuanzhang say so many words in one breath and asked quickly: "Has this man seen it?"

The big bathhouse is open.

Moreover, the pool inside is not a big pool, but several round pools, so that the pool will not be too big and the water will not be hot.

One by one, the cubs are sold to each other without feeling any pain.

And there is a waiter next to the closet to guide you and tell you which section to go.

Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist was tied with a rope, and on it hung the key to the locker where he stored his clothes.

Ever since he became emperor, according to his habit of going to bed at 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening and getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning, he rarely does such enjoyable things.

Although Jiangning County government officials patrol the streets, petty thefts are still prohibited.

Even though the weather was very hot today, it was still comfortable to take a bath. Listening to the conversations of the people around him, he covered his eyes with a hot towel and took a nap.

"I've heard about it. If I hadn't been illiterate, I would have bought a copy of Three Kingdoms to see how powerful Guan Erye is."

Moreover, Luo Guanzhong did not know geography. With him serving as Zhang Shicheng's military adviser, how could he send troops to the right place to ambush the enemy?

I just don’t know if the person cleaning the toilet should be paid extra.

"It's a pity that we can't read."

"Guan Erye warmed wine and beheaded Hua Xiong, beheaded Yan Liang and punished Wen Chou, rode thousands of miles alone, passed five passes and beheaded six generals, Huarong defended Cao Cao morally, went to the meeting alone, flooded the seven armies and became famous in China, scraped the bones to cure the poison, and was finally defeated. Maicheng.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's description of Guan Yu was very clear. The only thing that criticized him was that in real battles, there were very few fighting generals in front of the army.

It’s just that no one comes to take a shower with valuables, and most of them can take a shower without paying admission, so it’s considered a trial opening.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the cold towel off his head, opened his eyes, glanced aside, and said:

This also prevents someone from taking the opportunity to open the lock and steal something.

"I've read it, it's very well written."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his cattail leaf fan, and it seemed that Wang Buli handled the follow-up well.

How diligent is our emperor, why don't we let them all go to waste?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang is a little confused at the moment, and he doesn't know how to deal with it when he gets angry.

If you want to take a bath, you need to pay extra, so you have to spend money in advance.

No matter what, the craft of thieves will not be discontinued for a long time.

Wang Buli didn't bother to care about such trivial matters.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is to agree in advance that if you do it well, you will do it well, and if you don't do it well, you will leave.

After learning about the operations of future generations from Xianjing, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his efforts were in vain.

"I heard that Ye Qinhuai talks about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms every day, but we don't have the money to go in and listen to it."

"Yeah yeah."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and didn't say much. He was very satisfied with Ye Qinhuai's transaction.

Wang Buli's reform idea is much more profitable than his previous enthusiastic invitation to wealthy businessmen from all over the world to come in and spend money.

Now that I think about it, this guy has a lot of clever ideas.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually recorded this problem, and to see when the opportunity was right, he would test Wang Buli once.

This kid was so cautious that Lao Zhu had to be even more cautious, for fear that he would be exposed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took a bath and washed himself, he came out of the bathhouse refreshed.

Today’s experience was quite good.

As for the intensive patrols on the streets, Zhu Yuanzhang also understood that as our son-in-law, there would still be people who would flatter him.

It’s a patrol anyway. If you patrol this place twice more, what can you, a civilian, say?
Zhu Yuanzhang waved the cattail leaf fan and felt that the bones in his body were loosening a lot.

He listened to the recommendations of massage baths. In the future, there will be massages and pedicures in the bathhouses, but they will have to find specialized craftsmen to avoid unnecessary massage and dissatisfaction of the guests.

The success of Ye Qinhuai's business made Zhu Yuanzhang understand that Wang Buli did have a different vision from ordinary people on the business road.

He originally thought that the bathhouse would have some business, but for many people, burning firewood in their homes was a financial expense.

It's quite enjoyable to take a bath and rub your back in the middle of winter, or even spend a small amount of money to get a massage. As for the women's bathhouse on the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think many women would come to bathe here. According to his idea, it would be better to change them all into men's bathhouses.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his people strolled towards Shangyuan County, intending to take a look at the bookstore opened by Wang Buli.

There were people coming in and out of the bookstore, and they left quickly.

Because this bookstore only sells one book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the promoted Water Margin will not be released until next month.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the door waving a cattail leaf fan and watched as the group of people entered. If they wanted to buy books, they had to pay through another gate.

According to his observation, most of them were bought by the students from the Imperial College.

There were few slaves queuing up here, buying several books at once before taking them home, and there were also businessmen queuing up.

Through their clothing, Zhu Yuanzhang can mostly tell their occupations.

In addition, the sign at the door says that there is a big opening discount, buy ten copies and get one free, and businessmen from all provinces are welcome to place bulk orders here.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the street and watched people coming in and out.

He knew that this store was gradually abandoned because of the ogre case.

Now that Wang Buli has opened a bookstore here, people around him have not kept away from him. They probably think that Wang Buli can catch the murderer.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very troubled by this case.

There were too few clues, just like when he communicated with Wang Buli for the first time and learned that an unsolved case in which several people died because of a penny had never been solved.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite helpless about this kind of thing.

"Mr. Guo, are you back?"

Wang Buli stood aside with a cattail leaf fan and asked with a smile.

Now the person suspected of being Zhu Yuanzhang looks a little different to Wang Buli.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang had a round face, he became thinner due to his business trip and even had blisters on his mouth.

"Wang Dianshi." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly:

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I just came back to the capital and I heard that you wrote the first poem that moved the capital, and you were promoting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so I came to take a look."

Wang Buli laughed twice and invited:

"Mr. Guo, please buy a copy and take a look. This book is really worth reading. It is many times more interesting and scalable than the story-telling novels on the market today."

"Haha." Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled: "I originally thought that because of our friendship, you would give me a copy."

"If you are short of money, I can give it to you, but you have been an official for so many years and you can't even afford a book. Then you are smearing our Majesty for treating officials harshly."

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his cattail leaf fan and said, "Wang Dianshi is still so eloquent that I don't know how to refute."

"This is not about being glib, but about being reasonable." Wang Buli stood where he was. He didn't want to go in and crowd around.

The book Romance of the Three Kingdoms had been selling like hot cakes a few days ago, and he was still prepared.

At least the students from the Imperial College are also potential customers.

I couldn’t go to Ye Qinhuai and heard from a book scholar that it would be more cost-effective to buy one myself. It would be even more cost-effective if I could take advantage of my classmates.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around the bookstore and found a boy standing at the door. The door could only be opened inward, not outward, and there was a sign to remind him.

Two people stood at another door that could only be opened from the outside, collecting money and changing money to see off customers, while the shopkeeper wandered around the store.

With so few people, Wang Buli had some tricks to arrange things for so many people.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang found that even those who accompanied him to buy books had to line up to go out together.

After walking around for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang came out with a book, put it on his waist and smiled:

"Wang Dianshi's arrangements for this store are pretty good, but it's a pity that they only sell one book."

"There will be a new book in the future. I hope Director Guo will come to support me and introduce his colleagues from the Criminal Department."

Wang Buli also waved a cattail leaf fan to fan himself:
"Just to open a bookstore, I invested money to buy the space in the early stage, gave money to the Ya people, paid taxes to the court, plus supported these people and the craftsmen who made the books.

After all, there were too few literate people in the Ming Dynasty, so it was difficult for it to become popular. In the end, it had to rely on storytellers to spread it to the people. "

"So how many storytellers are you going to train?"

"Well, there is also a theater troupe." Wang Buli nodded lightly: "At that time, I can send people to discuss the performance fees with the troops stationed nearby, which can also be regarded as labor."

"What is a labor force?"

Wang Buli briefly explained it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood it. It was probably the same as eating a pot of pulp, except that he wanted money.

"You are really good at it. Your Majesty may not necessarily agree to your idea."

"Soldiers should be tense, but they cannot be tense all the time. Let them relax for a while.

Listen to the opera, maybe you will be able to develop greater combat effectiveness in the future. You are a criminal, and you only managed more than a hundred people before you were transformed. What do you know about commanding? "

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at himself, "We don't know how to command an army!"
He chuckled and patted his chest:

"After all, we have led more than a hundred people to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield. You, a kid who has never even killed anyone, dare to boast in front of us."

"Hey, I have killed people on the street." Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang: "I didn't feel like vomiting or wanting to go to the toilet."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "This is different. You can die at any time on the battlefield, maybe from a stray arrow that comes from nowhere.

But it's different if you kill someone in the street. The Ryukyu envoy doesn't dare to resist my great power. You take advantage. The two cannot be confused, or you may become Qin Wuyang. "

Wang Buli examined Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him very seriously: "Mr. Guo, you even know Qin Wuyang, do you study a lot on weekdays?"

"That's natural, otherwise how could we hold the position of head of the Criminal Department?"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, so he stopped the topic.

"I recently went on a business trip. When I came back, I found that my children and grandchildren didn't obey my arrangements. When I thought about my death, they didn't listen even more."

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said: "We are so anxious that we are angry. You said that we have worked so hard to pave the way for them. How come what we did is so chilling?"

"What?" Wang Buli walked to the shade and asked: "Is it possible that your son is also studying in the Imperial College, and you found a connection for him, but he signed up to go to the north for training?"

Wang Buli thought about it and just relied on this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly: "This is the situation. We have worked hard for so many years to pave the way for our children and grandchildren.

It was all for their own good, but in the end it was fine that they didn't cherish it, and instead wanted to make their own way.

We know what they are capable of, and they will do whatever they want. They are really capable!
Just follow the path we paved honestly, can't you?

Wang Dianshi, tell me, if such a bad thing happens, what do you want us to do in the future? "
