The next day, Zhao Yao didn't wake up until Chen. After washing himself, he left the palace. In order to eat the delicious breakfast outside the palace, he deliberately did not have breakfast in Kunde Hall. He is going to the West Market to eat delicious food such as tofu bread, wontons, fried dough sticks, stuffed pancakes and noodles.
Poppy packed a large bag of things and asked Zhao Yao to help him deliver them to her family. Liang Zhaoyi also packed some things to give to Poppy's family.
In the envious eyes of the fifth princess, Zhao Yao left the palace with Tongxi.
When he reached the palace gate, Zhao Yao was about to take out the jade tablet, but the guard stopped him.
"Your Highness, you don't need to take out the token. You can leave the palace directly."
Zhao Yao just reached in to take the jade pendant and paused. He looked at the guard in shock: "Do I really not need to take the token?"
"No, Your Highness, you can leave the palace directly." The guard's tone was full of respect.
"I'd better show it to you." Zhao Yao thought to himself that he had brought out the jade tablet, and if he didn't show it to the guards, wouldn't it be in vain?
Zhao Yao took out the jade pendant from his arms, raised it in front of the guard, and showed it to him.
The guard was no longer surprised by the jade pendant in Zhao Yao's hand. He nodded slightly and said: "Your Highness, please come out of the palace!"
"Thank you." Zhao Yao put the jade pendant back into his arms and walked out of the palace gate with joy.
Liang Run had been waiting at the door for a long time, and Zhao Yao ran towards him.
"Second uncle, I didn't keep you waiting long."
"No." Liang Run said, taking out a bag of stuff from his arms and handing it to Zhao Yao, "The buns are still hot just after they were taken out of the pot. Eat them while they are hot."
Zhao Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hand to take the bun.
"Is it the bun shop next to Zhenxiu Restaurant?"
"Yes, that's the buns from that store." Liang Run said with a smile, "I know you like to eat them, so I went to buy some just now."
"Second uncle, you are the best." Zhao Yao couldn't wait to take out a bun, opened his mouth and took a big bite, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"
"The buns in this store not only taste good, they are also very special. I have tried several times but they still can't get the taste."
Zhao Yao said: "I must have my own secret recipe. How can I let others imitate it easily?" The steamed buns in this store are really delicious. None of the imperial chefs in the palace could make such delicious buns.
Liang Run was about to reach out to help Zhao Yao get on the carriage, but Zhao Yao jumped slightly, which surprised him.
"Tong'an and the others didn't come with you?" Zhao Yao said in surprise when he saw that Dingshan and the others were not in the carriage.
"They were originally going to pick you up, but I didn't let them come." Liang Run said, "Aren't you going to Mr. Xiao's house later? It's inconvenient to take them with you."
"It's true that my second uncle has thought it through." Zhao Yao asked while eating steamed buns, "How are Tong'an and the others doing in their studies? How are they doing in Dingshan's martial arts?"
"Tong'an and Dingyuan study very seriously. They often study until midnight." Liang Run said to Zhao Yao while driving the carriage, "Dingshan learned martial arts very quickly. His master said he was a martial arts wizard. .”
"A martial arts prodigy?" Zhao Yao chuckled, "Then I really saw a treasure."
"Dingshan's master said that he couldn't teach Dingshan for a few years. He asked me to start looking for a new master for Dingshan now." Liang Run continued, "He also asked me to find a better master for Dingshan, otherwise it would be a waste. I have discovered Dingshan’s talent. I have been looking for someone to inquire about Dingshan’s new master, but I haven’t found a good new master. Yaoyao, you have to find Dingshan’s new master.”
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Zhao Yao felt a little distressed. Although he is a prince, he does not know any martial arts masters. After returning to the palace, ask Mr. Fan if he knows anyone with strong martial arts skills.
"However, the child Dingshan is very good at studying..." Mentioning this matter, Liang Run shook his head helplessly and said, "This child falls asleep as soon as he studies. He still doesn't know a few words. Do you want him to I’m afraid the idea of training someone to become a general won’t work.”
"Not necessarily. Just because he doesn't like studying doesn't mean he can't lead troops to fight." Zhao Yao ate two buns in one breath. "Maybe he will also be talented in leading troops."
"If he has talent in marching and fighting, that would be the best." Liang Run worried, "I'm afraid he doesn't, and your expectations will be in vain."
"It doesn't matter if Dingshan doesn't have the talent to lead troops, as long as he can fight." Zhao Yao didn't really care about whether Dingshan had the talent to lead troops. "When the time comes, it will be fine if he stays with me."
Liang Run smiled and said, "Yes, he can protect you by staying with you."
"Second uncle, aren't you going to Wusun in a while? Take Dingshan with you."
When Liang Run heard Zhao Yao's words, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Yao in surprise.
"Dingshan is still young, and he has never traveled far. I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to take him with us."
"Second uncle, are you worried that Dingshan won't be able to bear the long journey?"
"Well, this kid is very strong, but after all, he has never been far away. I'm worried that he will become acclimatized."
"I don't think Dingshan is as delicate as you think." Zhao Yao has finished eating four steamed buns. "If he can't bear the hardship of traveling long distances, how will he go to the battlefield in the future. Besides, if you take him with you, he can growing up."
Hearing this, Liang Run knew Zhao Yao's purpose.
"In that case, I will take Dingshan with me to Wusun."
"Second uncle, please tell me carefully about the people sent by my grandfather. Are they really reliable?"
"Don't worry, they are absolutely reliable." Liang Run said seriously, "They were all carefully selected by your grandfather, and they have passed layer after layer of tests."
"Ah, there is still a test?" Zhao Yao was shocked, and then he asked curiously, "What test did grandpa do?"
"First, we will examine their ability to do business, and then test their character..." Liang Run told Zhao Yao in great detail the test set by Liang Shuren.
After hearing this, Zhao Yao exclaimed: "Grandpa really worked hard."
"Your grandfather will naturally take great care in your affairs to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Next, Liang Run introduced in great detail the people who followed him to Wusun. Zhao Yao felt relieved after hearing this.
Liang Run and the others' trip to Wusun is very important and cannot make any mistakes. If the people sent by his grandfather were unreliable, they would ruin Zhao Yao's plan.
Liang Run added: "When we go to Wusun and check there is no problem, I will leave a few people in Wusun and they will be responsible for things there in the future."
"The shops and people in Wusun are very important. They not only want to do business with Wusun, but also seek information. Second uncle, you have to be careful when choosing people." The shops in Wusun are actually mainly The one responsible is intelligence. "You still have to cultivate specialized skills."
"Yao Yao, the few people who have been arranged to stay in Wusun this time have been trained by the Liang family and are very good experts in the business field." Liang Run said, "They can find out a lot of things through the smallest details in the business field."
"After all, the craftsmen in business are different from the craftsmen trained by the imperial court." Zhao Yao crossed his arms and frowned, thinking, "We still have to find ways to cultivate specialized craftsmen, but it is difficult to find people to train craftsmen." It's really sad. ah.
"I heard that aristocratic families have their own masterpieces, and the Zhenguo Palace should have them."
"There should be, but it seems not as good as before." Zhao Yao knew a little about the meticulous work of the aristocratic family. "During the turmoil, the family not only lost many clan members, but also many spies and soldiers. Most of those carefully cultivated craftsmen died at that time."
"The craftsmanship produced by the aristocratic family now is incomparable to the ones before, let's put it this way." Zhao Yao thought of a good description, "The craftsmanship cultivated by the aristocratic family in the past was the delicacies cooked by the chef of Zhenxiulou, but now the craftsmanship cultivated by the aristocratic family is delicious. It’s a side dish made by the apprentice of the chef at Zhenxi Restaurant.”
Hearing Zhao Yao's description, Liang Run couldn't help but laugh: "Yao Yao, when you say that, the craftsmanship cultivated by aristocratic families is not very good."
"It's really not that good. You have to know that an excellent craftsmanship takes a lot of effort and time to cultivate." Zhao Yao said, "After the riots in the previous dynasty, all the powerful families were greatly weakened. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were busy In the struggle for power, there is no time and patience to cultivate fine work like before."
"What about the details of the imperial court? The Zhou Dynasty was just established not long ago?" Liang Run meant that the imperial court was the same as the aristocratic family. In fact, the imperial court is not as good as the aristocratic family. Although the aristocratic family was severely damaged, it had at least existed for hundreds of years, while Dazhou had only been established for more than ten years. Compared with aristocratic families, the imperial court is even less able to cultivate outstanding craftsmen.
"It's different. Although I don't know how the imperial court cultivates fine works, the fine works cultivated by the imperial court are much better than those from aristocratic families." Zhao Yao said, wrinkled his face and thought to himself, I can't go to the stinky father. I want a teacher who specializes in teaching fine craftsmanship. "Fine work must focus on small cultivation."
"Your grandfather has already made arrangements for you." Liang Run said, "Your grandfather has adopted many children and is arranging for people to teach them various skills."
"This is the only way to go."
Liang Run told Zhao Yao something else. Soon, we arrived at West Market.
Zhao Yao followed Liang Run to have breakfast, and Tongxi went to Poppy's parents' house to deliver things. While having breakfast, Zhao Yao told Liang Run in detail about the formation of a team to send envoys to various countries in the Western Regions.
"Yao Yao, the imperial court should pay close attention to the affairs of the Xiongnu." Liang Run said, "The emperor should also send agents to inquire about the Xiongnu. You don't need to do these things." Liang Run felt that Zhao Yao did not need to do this. matter.
"That's what I say, but if one more person keeps an eye on the Huns, they can get more news about the Huns, so that the people of Da Zhou can be more safe." Zhao Yao said with a very serious look, "Father, arrange people It is his business to find out information about the Huns, and it is my business to arrange for people to do business with the Huns to find out information, and we will not interfere with each other."
"Yao Yao, what I mean is that you don't need to worry about the Huns at all."
"If the Huns want to go south to invade the Zhou Dynasty in the future, I might go to the battlefield. Do you think I should worry about it?" Zhao Yao said calmly, "Second uncle, this is called nip in the bud. There is also the matter of the Huns, no. It just has something to do with the court and all of us."
"I am narrow-minded." If the Xiongnu went south to invade the Zhou Dynasty, the world would be in chaos, and the people might suffer again.
"So, we must kill the idea of the Xiongnu going south to invade the Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Yao said, his eyes suddenly became very sharp, "It is best to completely eliminate them."
"Yao Yao, this is impossible."
"I know, so it's best to drive them far away so that they won't dare to invade the Central Plains for decades or even hundreds of years." Zhao Yao said, with a fierce light in his eyes, "It's best to let them I get scared when I mention the Central Plains."
Liang Run suddenly smiled and said: "Yao Yao, I didn't expect you to be a person who cares about the world."
All along, Yaoyao has been doing things to prepare for the future kingship and fiefdom. And Yaoyao wants to form a team to do business in various countries in the Western Region, not only to make money, but also to find out information about the Huns, and the Huns have nothing to do with Yaoyao's future visit to the fiefdom.
Zhao Yao felt that his second uncle's words were strange, and asked in a matter-of-fact tone: "Isn't this what it should be?"
He continued, "Isn't there a saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and I am not an ordinary man, but the prince of Zhou Dynasty. I should be more concerned about national affairs and the safety of the people."
"The world is finally at peace, and the people are finally living a stable life. If the Xiongnu goes south, the people will suffer again. The Great Zhou Dynasty may be in chaos by then."
Zhao Yao sighed: "Will the building collapse and be safe?"
When Liang Run heard this, his heart trembled.
"you're right!"
"So it is very important for my second uncle to form a team to do business in various countries in the Western Region!"
Liang Run nodded solemnly: "I understand."
Zhao Yao stopped talking about the Huns and asked Zhuangzi how his construction was going.
Liang Run told Zhao Yao that Zhuangzi's construction was very smooth and very fast. Zhuangzi will be completely completed in two months at the earliest.
Zhao Yao didn't expect it to happen so quickly, thinking that the people from the Fuhuang Faction were quite powerful.
After breakfast, Zhao Yao took Liang Run to find Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao has been waiting at home for a long time.
Before, Mr. Xiao went to see Liang Run and followed Liang Run to the health center.
Three of Mr. Xiao's friends now teach at the Yangshengtang.
The second update is here.
