Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Shuangshui Village has become extremely lively.

After all, Mr. Mei, the prince consort, is going to take a concubine.

Not many people can be granted the title of nobility as a son-in-law of the emperor.

He was able to marry the princess and take a concubine, especially since this concubine was personally selected and introduced by the Empress and the current Emperor.

This kind of thing is even rarer and extremely strange!

This also further reflects how great the face of Shuangshui Bo is.

How can you gain the favor of the emperor and empress!

This kind of favor can be said to be unique!
The honor is simply enormous!
Not to mention, the concubine to be taken in is the granddaughter of Mr. Liu, the Earl of Chengyi.

It’s even more incredible!
Originally, taking a concubine didn't have to be so grand.

People who are more particular will show some corresponding etiquette.

If you don't take it seriously, just have someone get a sedan chair and carry it home through the small door.

No one can say anything about etiquette.

After all, the gap between a concubine and a wife is really too big.

However, Mei Yin obviously has to make some arrangements.

And the specifications are not low.

On the one hand, it’s because of Mei Yin’s current identity.

On the other hand, the concubine he was going to take was different from that of ordinary people.

She is the granddaughter of Earl Chengyi.

Liu Bowen's face must be given.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to deal with the matter hastily.

We need to be serious about this.

Of course, no matter how serious it is, it definitely cannot meet the standards for marrying a wife.

At least it can't exceed the standard when he married Princess Ningguo before.

The degree here needs to be mastered.

Mei Yin still hasn't figured out these etiquettes very well.

But he doesn't need to worry about these.

Fortunately, there are people who are proficient in this field to help with the work.

After a busy period, the auspicious day has arrived.

Mei Yin rode on a horse, brought his men, and went to the capital to meet Liu Qiuyan in person, playing music and drums.

Now the road to the capital is much easier to travel.

The reason for this is that now a very flat concrete road has been built from Yingtian Prefecture City to Shuangshui Village.

Not only to Shuangshui Village, but also many cement roads have been paved from the capital to other places.

Mei Yin can be sure that in the future there will be more roads paved with cement in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, there are more than one cement factory in Shuangshui Village.

But many of them opened.

Mei Yin only asked for a small share of it.

All other technical aspects were brought out for use by the Ming Dynasty.

After all, by now, the money is enough for him.

Enough for him and his descendants to enjoy endlessly.

Money, on the other hand, needs to be used in moderation.

Not too much.

Otherwise, you will be easily slaughtered like pigs in the future.

Although based on everything he has seen so far, such a thing should not happen to him in the future.

Old Zhu wouldn't treat himself like this.

But how to put it...

It's better to be careful about some things, but you must not lose the big picture because of the small details.

Besides, he really wants the Ming Dynasty to develop as quickly as possible.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to hold many things firmly in one's hands and not reveal anything to the outside world.

Especially those good things that benefit the country and the people.

……

In Yingtianfu City, the Mansion of the Earl of Chengyi on the side of Liu Junshi Bridge.

At this time, the place is decorated with lights and is particularly festive.

Liu Bowen, a man with gray hair that makes him look more vigorous, is now also dressed festively.

The whole person looks full of energy.

We have waited for so long and have made a lot of efforts to make this happen.

Today, this thing is finally going to come true!
My granddaughter is finally going to Mei Yin.

The two will tie the knot.

Others felt that Liu Bowen's behavior in this matter was rather unbecoming.

But Liu Bowen knew how much advantage he had gained.

I really found a treasure!

Moreover, he was also very aware that those who were there to laugh at him at the beginning, now he didn't know how many people were secretly envious of him.

It's so sour.

After all, up to now, various things have proved how good my previous vision was.

What an outstanding person this grandson-in-law is.

He has also received much attention from His Majesty and others.

Many people also mentioned that they wanted their granddaughter to be a concubine of their good friend Mei.

Just look disdainful and make sarcastic remarks.

But in fact, once the rumor got out, it was confirmed that the grandson-in-law would take another concubine.

Look at these guys, aren’t they running faster than each other?

The head can be broken!

Up to now, except for some people who originally had deep opinions about Mei Xiaoyou.

As long as the rest of the people are not stupid, they can see that Young Master Mei is favored by His Majesty.

What a strong position!

When Liu Bowen was thinking so happily.

Some festive suona and other sounds could be heard from afar.

The smile on Liu Bowen's face grew even wider.

coming!

coming!

My good grandson-in-law is here!
He is here to pick up his granddaughter!
From now on, my granddaughter will have someone to rely on, and the relationship between my family and my granddaughter's husband will become unbreakable.

My own sons will also have someone to rely on.

You won’t be eaten without leaving even the skin or bones after you die.

The people they arranged at the Liu Mansion have already gone to greet them from afar.

Soon some people came to report to Liu Bowen.

It is said that the bride-picking party has arrived.

Liu Bowen went outside to greet them personally...

……

In the boudoir, Liu Qiuyan was also dressed up, wearing festive clothes, and sitting in front of a bronze mirror.

There were several maids and old women accompanying her.

Doing the final dressing.

Liu Qiuyan herself is extremely beautiful.

Now, after all this careful dressing up, she put on the most beautiful wedding dress.

It looks even more bright and beautiful.

The maids nearby couldn't stop praising her.

After a while, I heard some movement in the front, faintly coming from behind.

Then I knew that Mr. Mei had arrived.

Her already rosy face became even more rosy.

I am both nervous and looking forward to what is going to happen next.

Although she had met Mr. Mei a long time ago, she also knew that both Mr. Mei and Princess Ningguo were people with very good personalities.

Once I get there, I will definitely not be wronged.

But getting married is a lifelong event after all.

She still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

With longing...

After waiting for a while, someone came forward and said that they wanted to invite the young lady to get married.

Then, the people serving at the side covered her head with a veil to hide her beautiful face.

Supporting Liu Qiuyan, he walked out of the boudoir...

After some formalities, Mei Yin had already received Liu Qiuyan.

This bright and charming woman would stay by his side from now on and become his concubine.

This is something he would never dare to imagine in later generations!
After saying goodbye to Liu Bowen and Liu Lian, Mei Yin took Liu Qiuyan outside.

Prepare to welcome him home. Liu Bowen had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood.

But Liu Lian, Liu Bowen's eldest son and Liu Qiuyan's father, couldn't laugh.

The whole person's expression seemed very serious.

When Liu Qiuyan turned and left, he, who had been holding himself together, could no longer bear it.

His eyes were red and he cried in public.

Liu Lian was a rather old-fashioned person and he set high standards for himself.

If it weren't for his daughter's marriage, it would really worry him.

Based on his personality and the demands he makes on himself on a daily basis.

I will definitely not shed tears at this moment.

Mei Yin turned around and happened to see this scene.

He stopped, turned around and bowed seriously to Liu Bowen and Liu Lian again.

He said that he would definitely treat Liu Qiuyan well in the future and would not let her suffer any grievances.

Liu Qiuyan is Liu Lian's eldest daughter and his only child.

Liu Qiuyan's mother died long ago.

And Liu Lian never married after that.

On the one hand, he is not very interested in this area, but on the other hand, he has a deep relationship with his original wife.

Another reason was that he was afraid that Liu Qiuyan would be wronged.

The heavy fatherly love can be seen from this...

Looking at Liu Lian in front of him, Mei Yin suddenly remembered some things about Liu Lian.

Liu Lian did not have a good ending.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to survey all the land in the world.

Let’s conduct a comprehensive land inspection.

Find out how many people are in each family, how many acres of land they have, and whether the land is good.

Clear out the hidden fields in the world.

Land survey has always been a top priority.

It is also a particularly difficult thing to do.

It's even more troublesome than fighting a war.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the man who was able to conquer the world.

But I cannot measure all the land in the world.

According to the original history, Zhu Yuanzhang, the man who swept the world, founded the country.

Not to mention the various preparations made in the early stages for surveying the land, just the formal start of the survey and the completion of this task across the country later.

It also took almost ten years!
From here you can see how difficult this is to do!
The resistance is simply too great, and a lot of people will be offended!

It simply cost many people their lives.

Liu Lian was the first person to go to the Jiangxi Provincial Administration to preside over this matter.

Then... he was pushed into a well and drowned...

Now that I'm here, I must not let this happen.

Especially since he married Liu Qiuyan, Liu Lian became his father-in-law.

So in this situation, it is natural to make corresponding efforts.

However, such thoughts were only in his mind and he never expressed them out loud.

It is inappropriate to say such things on this occasion.

"Let's go, let's go, don't miss the time."

Liu Bowen urged.

With a smile.

After Liu Qiuyan got on the sedan chair, Mei Yin took her away and disappeared into the distance.

Liu Bowen's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Mixed emotions.

There is both joy and reluctance...

……

Shuangshui Village is very lively and decorated with lights.

Although it was only Mei Yin who took a concubine, the commotion still far exceeded that of many other families getting married.

Even in Mei Yin's case, there was no grand celebration.

It was stated at the beginning that this was a small-scale banquet.

But a lot of people came as well.

And the most important guest who came here now is not an official in the court.

It is the current Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

By the way, Zhu Biao rushed back from Jiangnan a few days ago.

Thanks to his hard work there, many issues at the Maritime Customs have now been resolved.

Completely established.

The supply of goods and other things have also been sorted out.

Other benefits are distributed similarly.

Moreover, the Maritime Customs Office has also started to operate.

The first batch of goods also went out to sea.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Biao, the crown prince who had been away from Beijing for some time, finally returned.

However, although he came back, Prince of Yan Zhu Di did not return.

We still need to carry out some deterrence there.

To prevent someone from causing any trouble next time.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the Maritime Customs.

During this period, Zhu Di's reputation there was rising.

This time, he killed many people there without mercy.

All of a sudden, Zhu Di's reputation became extremely bad.

Some people secretly called him the living king of hell, and some people secretly cursed him.

Some people are thinking about how to drag him down in the future...

The reputation of Crown Prince Zhu Biao became particularly good.

From this we can see that Lao Zhu is really, really good to his eldest son.

He always thinks about Zhu Biao.

They were unwilling to let Zhu Biao do any dirty work.

After Zhu Biao came back, he happened to hear about Mei Yin taking a concubine.

So, he rushed all the way from Beijing to congratulate Mei Yin.

Such things also made many people who were secretly paying attention to the developments here become more surprised and shocked.

The more I feel that Mei Yin is unfathomable.

Definitely not to be messed with.

Think about it, the Emperor and Empress specifically ordered him to take a concubine.

When the time came for him to take a concubine, a well-known figure like the crown prince of the time came to congratulate him.

What a great honor this is!

How much kindness does it take to be able to do this?

"Brother! Are you back?"

Mei Yin was very surprised to see Zhu Biao waiting with a smile at the entrance of the village.

I couldn't help but take a few quick steps and greet him with a smile.

"I've only been back for two days, and I've just encountered the great news of my second brother-in-law!"

Zhu Biaoer said with a smile.

His Mayin speaks in a friendly and easy-going manner.

Such an attitude makes many people jealous.

This is the crown prince!

The next emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
It’s unimaginable that he has such a good relationship with Mei Yin!

Zhu Biao didn't say much to Mei Yin, he knew that this was Mei Yin's big day.

Although there were many things I wanted to say to Mei Yin, I didn't delay any longer...

This time, the plan is to take a concubine, so the corresponding etiquette is much less complicated.

In addition, Mei Yin had already been married once before.

So many things are done with ease.

But even so, after a busy period, it was already evening.

After the banquet, most of the guests have left.

Zhu Biao also said goodbye and left.

The next moment was a great time for Mei Yin. Even though he wanted to talk to his second brother-in-law, he knew that now was not the right time...

……

As night fell, Mei Yin, who was a little drunk, pushed open the door with a big red "囍" character on it.

Inside the room, Liu Qiuyan's white fingers suddenly became entangled together...
