[Brothers, I feel that the time change is not good, so I will change it to two chapters every day: eight o'clock in the morning (small chapter) and five o'clock in the afternoon (big chapter). They happen to be your rest time, so that's it. 】
The sky also gets brighter on October nights.
Stars twinkle in the dark sky, their light comforting and warm, and the disks hang in the sky, reflecting through the branches and leaves on the ground, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
"Xiaolang, everything is so beautiful that I'm afraid that when I wake up, it's just a dream."
Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao held hands and walked in the woods of the mansion.
She was filled with incomparable happiness. She recalled that ten months ago, she was still trapped under the high wall of Prince Yan's Mansion. After ten months, everything changed.
His father was granted the title of prince, Gao Chi was granted the title of grandson of the emperor, Gao Xu was granted the title of vassal king, and even her husband was granted the title of duke.
Today, the whole family was very happy, singing songs and drinking happily.
Li Xiao looked at the stars in the sky: "Ningyun, this is not a dream, everything is real. I am the result of our hard work. The harder people work, the luckier they are."
Yes, all of this was achieved through my hard work, Li Xiao. How could it be just a dream?
"Look at Ningyun."
Li Xiao took out a tissue and said with a smile: "What do you think this is?"
Zhu Ningyun looked over and revealed her beautiful pear dimple: "This is the tissue paper you invented."
Li Xiao took out a lighter and lit the paper towel.
Zhu Ningyun didn't know why, and frowned slightly. Suddenly, he saw Li Xiao lift his hand up, and the moment the flame disappeared, a delicate rose suddenly appeared.
In fact, the origin of roses is China, and they spread to Europe from China.
"Wow, Xiaolang, you can also do tricks."
When Zhu Ningyun saw the roses, she felt as happy as a flower.
"When a Pomeranian smiles, she shows off her humiliation."
Li Xiao smiled faintly, he had the skill of perfecting ancient magic. Three immortals returned to the cave, empty bowls were filled with wine, money could be transformed into large amounts, and the fairy string was all at his fingertips. Transforming into roses was just a small trick.
Of course, as the Duke of the country, Li Xiao naturally cannot show it to others outside. In ancient times, magic was a low-level profession.
It is very good to occasionally use it to mediate love and give your lover some surprises.
A small rose made the two of them bond again.
"Husband, please rest early today. After playing mahjong all day, my shoulders are a little sore."
After returning to the room, Zhu Ningyun lay on the bed. She was indeed a little tired. Then she felt a pair of warm hands pressing on her shoulders.
"I'm here to relax you."
Li Xiao smiled mischievously and used a perfect massage technique to relax his wife's shoulders. The acupuncture points were just right.
"Um"
Zhu Ningyun couldn't help but make a comfortable sound, it was so comfortable.
"Huh? Husband, what are you doing?"
She blushed and felt something was wrong.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good."
After a while, she smelled a strange floral scent again.
"This is an essence lotion. It will give you an essential oil spa. It can relax your body and mind and relieve stress. It is a great way to maintain health and beauty."
Li Xiao explained with a smile, heated the essential oil in his hands, and then rubbed it gently.
"Husband...it's so comfortable."
"You are bad"
The next morning.
When I got up in the morning, the whole family was practicing martial arts and stretching in the yard. Only Zhu Gaochi was there walking the cat and playing with the dog.
"Huh"
Zhu Gaoxu was boxing when he suddenly saw Ningyun and asked strangely: "Sister, why do you feel that your face is rosy and energetic recently? Did your brother-in-law give you something good to eat?"
Upon hearing the word "eat", Zhu Ningyun's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said angrily: "Don't ask around when you have nothing to do."
Zhu Gaoxu was reluctant and looked at Li Xiao and said, "Brother-in-law, give me some food for my brother. Why do you feel like you are getting younger and younger?"
Li Xiao: "."
Not long after,
After the family had breakfast, they were ready to go to the palace to talk to their father.
"We can't go empty-handed, what should we bring?"
Zhu Di thought about it for a long time and had no idea, so he set his sights on Li Xiao.
"It has been prepared for a long time."
Li Xiao smiled slightly.
He took out an exquisite box from his body and opened it for everyone to see.
"Are these glasses?"
When everyone took a look, Li Xiao's glasses were so exquisite.
In fact, there were already glasses in the Ming Dynasty, but they were made of natural crystal and were far less good than the rubber glasses in Li Xiao's hands. They were extremely transparent and very light.
Li Xiao smiled and explained: "Yes, reading glasses. No, when I was getting along with my eldest brother a few days ago, I found that he was getting older and always looked at things with a pair of glasses. This is a gift. It should be just right, not too expensive or tacky, it should solve the pain points, and it should be used from time to time, thinking of our good."
"My king, please take a look."
Having just changed his identity as a prince, Zhu Di felt a little uncomfortable when he changed his words. He picked up his glasses and put them on his forehead as if they were nothing. He said in surprise: "It's so light. What kind of material are they made of?"
This is carbon fiber. Of course, Li Xiao couldn't tell it. He smiled and said: "The new material cannot be mass-produced for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"Okay! That's great. Father will definitely like this gift. Okay, let's set off."
Zhu Di was very happy that his son-in-law could always come up with something new.
Afterwards, after everyone finished their breakfast, they got up and went into the palace.
Wait until everyone has gone away,
Someone in the house sighed.
Yao Guangxiao was in the room watching the dragon-slaying skills he had compiled for many years, and was holding a brazier and throwing them in one by one to burn.
"I can't use the dragon-slaying technique anymore."
"Now, I can only learn the dragon-supporting technique instead."
"From now on, let's follow Lord Yongle to support the dragon."
"Okay, we like this gift!"
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang wore reading glasses and walked around the hall several times with his hands behind his hands, feeling that the world became clearer.
Zhu Yuanzhang was always dizzy before. In fact, part of the reason was that his glasses were too bad, and he spent a long time correcting essays and overusing his eyes. It's strange that it doesn't hurt.
"Haha, great. When you put it on, it feels like you're not wearing it. It's very light."
Zhu Yuanzhang became even more happy and threw away the gold reading glasses he carried with him.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu moved his steps, he found that someone had jumped in first.
Zhu Gaosui picked it up calmly and put it in his pocket, thinking that this was a holy thing, and it was still gold. He had lost so much money during this period, so he had to make up for it.
I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang looked more approachable when he put on glasses.
However, Li Xiao was not too casual. This old man had just killed fifteen thousand people not long ago. He was close to him because they were all family members.
Li Xiao was very lucky to be related to Zhu Yuanzhang, because these days, even if he is a prince, no matter how great his achievements are, he cannot stop Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher knife.
Only relatives can make Zhu Yuanzhang trust him, especially a grandson-in-law like Li Xiao who has no relatives such as parents, brothers and sisters, who can make Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease.
“Drink tea, drink tea”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and everyone started drinking tea. Then he said: "Fourth, you can move to the East Palace during this time, and the whole family can move in."
Zhu Di was overjoyed and said calmly: "Father, this is not good."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's wrong? We have already taken care of your eldest brother Zhu Biao's funeral. You don't need to worry about their sons and concubines. We have our own arrangements. Just move in."
Zhu Di nodded: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, then slowly sat down and raised his neck. He was exhausted during this period, having dealt with too many people and too many things.
"Grandfather, let me loosen your shoulders."
Li Xiao walked over kindly, stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and used perfect massage techniques to massage Zhu Yuanzhang's acupuncture points with extremely precise accuracy.
"Um"
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed comfortably. It was so comfortable. After a while, he felt that the pain in his body had disappeared a lot. This grandson-in-law really knows how to maintain health. It's great. With him taking care of our body, we can still do it. Live ten more years.
From today on, we will simply hand over the government affairs to the fourth child, and take a look at his ability to handle government affairs. We will also be happy to have some leisure time, and let the fourth child also have a taste of the hard work of being an emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and enjoyed it. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Fourth brother, I'll leave this to you. Remember to finish approving today's notes."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the pile of memorials on the table and said with a smile: "I'm going to go out with my granddaughter and grandson-in-law to relax. I'll come back to check it out in the evening. If it's not finished, I'll make it look good for you."
When Zhu Di looked at the memorial on the table, was he about to start working?
He walked over and opened a few books at random. He suddenly felt that being an emperor was not a good job. It was too much. Can he complete the corrections in one day?
Li Xiao on the side looked at this scene and wanted to laugh.
Father-in-law, father-in-law, you'd better be at peace and be your general in the Northern Campaign.
"Okay, let's go. Ningyun, Li Xiao, you come with us, let the four of them stay here, the four cobblers will stand up to Zhuge Liang."
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked out of the palace. Li Xiao, Zhu Ningyun and Zhu Di also followed after saying goodbye.
After leaving the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.
After working hard all my life, I can finally enjoy it.
"Let Gu Lai show his skills!"
In the palace, Zhu Di also sat on a chair with great interest and began to read the memorial.
After all, it was my first time doing this, so I was still a little excited.
All matters up and down the country must be dealt with, from allocating funds for disaster relief to water control, river engineering, taxation, civil engineering construction, and the establishment of health centers.
One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed.
Zhu Di felt his head hurt. He raised his head and looked at his three sons.
His eyes moved left and right, as if he was pointing at a general.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu straightened his chest and stood up straighter, with words almost written on his face: Choose me!
"It's you!"
Zhu Di finally pointed at Zhu Gaochi and waved, "Come here, let's take a look together."
Although he likes the second child, he also knows that the boss is better at this matter.
If I don't finish correcting this memorial today, I'm afraid I'll be scolded when I come back tonight.
"Okay daddy."
Zhu Gaochi came over with a smile, "It's a child's duty to share your father's worries."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, stood up and gave up his seat to Zhu Gaochi, while he sat aside to rest.
Maybe Zhu Di didn't even think of it himself.
Once Zhu Gaochi sat on his butt, he never got up again in his life.
The Qinhuai River is the cradle of ancient civilization and is very famous in history.
The clothing and cultural relics are flourishing in the south of the Yangtze River; the literary talent is the best in the world, and it is worthy of being the first historical and cultural river.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xiao, and Zhu Ningyun were strolling around in this bustling place.
Admiring the prosperous scene on both sides of the river, merchant boats and flower boats floated on the river, and it was very lively with people coming and going.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Li Xiao, how does this place compare with Peiping?"
Li Xiao said: "The prosperity is many times greater. The emperor's feet are the most prosperous place in the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to several restaurants on the bank of the river and said: "That restaurant was built by us the year before last and handed over to businessmen to run. Now it is overcrowded. It is a must-go place for businessmen from all over the country when they come to Beijing. It has made a lot of money for the court." Yinzi, what you did in the dormitory area was because you wanted to imitate us and earn money for the yamen to spend in the dormitory area, right?"
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang has been paying attention to how Li Xiao changed the law, so these things cannot escape his eyes.
Li Xiao held up his hand and slapped the horse over: "Your Majesty, I also found an inspiration for what Your Majesty did and gave it a try."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "You are smart, but even if I do it, the money in the treasury is not enough. And the more I do, the more corruption will occur. Look, the businessmen in this restaurant, although they give money to the court every year He made a lot of money, but he himself earned even more, and not long ago he bought two large houses in the city."
Li Xiao said with a smile: "The businessman made money and managed it well. When he bought a house, the craftsmen who built the house also made money. When the house gets bigger, he has to recruit more servants, and there will be more servants." It's not a bad thing for people to find work. The restaurant your majesty built will not only benefit the court, but also the people. It's a wonderful idea."
"Huh"
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, it seemed that this was the reason. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was the wealthy businessmen, but after what Li Xiao said, it didn't seem so hateful.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "There are so many dormitories running things similar to 'restaurants', and you can't control them. How to solve the problem of corruption?"
Li Xiao thought for a while: "This is indeed a difficult problem. We can only use supervisory agencies to supervise it."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, this problem is difficult."
Unconsciously, a few people were walking and came to a section of road with rows of gambling houses.
Just passed by.
A man was blasted out from one of the gambling houses and fell at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet.
A fierce man walked out of the gambling house, pointed at the gambler and cursed: "Go back and get the money to redeem it, otherwise the land deed of your house will belong to our owner."
After saying that, several people kicked the man a few times and turned back to the gambling house.
The person who was beaten was obviously a boy from a rich family, with fine skin and tender flesh.
However, he was very embarrassed at this time. He was wearing white silk underwear with lining, and he had obviously lost his jacket.
"Whoever lends me some money, I, Mr. Zhang, will pay back three times."
This man who calls himself Mr. Zhang lost everything in the gambling house, and his family lost everything, and now he even lost the land title.
He looked left and right and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang looked wealthy, so he knelt over and shouted: "Brother, lend me one hundred taels of silver. I'm lucky and I'll pay you back double the money I made."
"Who is your elder brother?"
Li Xiao saw this and kicked him away, cursing: "Get out of here."
The man refused to give up. When he saw that Li Xiao looked like a rich man, he pestered Li Xiao again and said, "I still have a lovely wife at home. I am willing to pledge five hundred taels of silver to you. Please."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ningyun became furious and pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are such a heartless person who even wants to give up your own wife to others. You are so heartless."
A man who has lost everything can do anything. This man obviously just lost the land title and was a little panicked. Seeing Zhu Ningyun's jewels and wealth, he rushed over, trying to snatch the gold hairpin from Zhu Ningyun's hair, and then ran away. .
But Zhu Ningyun just kicked this person away.
"You are so impudent that you dare to commit murder on the street."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect to encounter such a thing when he went out for a stroll. Without waiting for his orders, Jin Yiwei immediately appeared around him, captured the man, and then crushed him away.
It was just a small interlude. After it was over, a few people continued to move forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ningyun and said with slight surprise: "It's true that the tiger father has no dog daughter, Ningyun, you are quite skilled."
Zhu Ningyun frowned slightly and said: "Grandpa thank you for praising that person just now. It's really shameless. Fortunately, it was me just now. If it were other women, I'm afraid they would have been robbed, and maybe their lives would be harmed. How could such a person appear?" "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiao and said as if torturing: "Li Xiao, just now you said that letting the rich make money can benefit the people. Look at the owner of this gambling house, making a lot of money. What do you say?"
Li Xiao said sternly: "Your Majesty, I have vigorously raided gambling houses in Dong'an County. There are millions of businesses in this world, but gambling is the most harmful to people! This is a property transfer that does not produce benefits. People who are addicted to gambling will eventually lose their fortune. , wives and children are separated, and gambling addicts may steal, steal and rob in order to obtain gambling funds, increasing crime. Your Majesty must pay attention to it and eliminate it completely."
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said: "We have had this intention for a long time, but the benefits brought by the gambling house to the court were too great. Those officials turned a blind eye in private, and so did we sometimes."
Li Xiaodao: "It's just a small profit, not enough for a long-term plan. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible and stop it resolutely. Otherwise, it will only enrich the evil people and make the poor poorer."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Okay. When we met today, there was indeed something wrong. That's what we meant."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself that at this time, all government affairs were handed over to Lao Si, and he could just free up his hands to benefit the people.
After walking for a while, I saw a shop filled with smoke.
Li Xiao understood. At this time, it had begun to flow in, but Zhu Yuanzhang should have banned it after discovering it.
Li Xiao reminded again, "This must also be eliminated."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't know what it was, so he nodded: "Let the Jinyi Guards check it in private. If it is something bad, it should be eliminated."
Then, he walked to the rows of brothels. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the brothels and said with a smile: "Should we get rid of this? This is the gold-selling cave of Nanjing City. It is a place where people are drunk and wealthy. How many wealthy businessmen and our officials are here. Spending huge sums of money breeds corruption.”
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to this.
He felt that when literati and tourists indulged in it, they would waste their money. When these scholars had no money to support their families, they would have no intention of pursuing the country.
Furthermore, scholars waste their time in brothels, so they have no time to read books about emperors. If they don’t read history, they won’t know about the past and present, and where there are any great talents and strategies.
Then I will never write articles discussing military and political affairs again.
Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he established the 14th Floor of Official Prostitutes in Nanjing, which has always been called Qin Zhun Yanfen by scholars.
The downside, of course, is that it breeds corruption.
This is also what makes Zhu Yuanzhang a little unhappy.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "You can turn a blind eye to this."
Zhu Ningyun: "???"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How to say?"
Li Xiaodao: "There are always people who have made money, and they have to spend it. How can we keep it at home? Besides, if there was no place here, the gentry and landlords would force the women of the people, which would increase the level of crime."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You kid, you can always think about problems from different angles, which makes sense."
Li Xiao raised his right hand high: "I swear that I will never fight against gambling and drug abuse."
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Xiao talked and laughed. In short, they just chatted and wandered around without any big purpose, and their relationship became more and more harmonious.
The flowers on both sides of the Qinhuai River were indeed blooming, but as they passed a dividing line, things suddenly changed. The floor tiles became broken and the houses on both sides became dilapidated.
There is a small temple ahead. Everywhere you look, there are beggars.
"Enjoy the food you stutter"
An old blind man kneeling on the ground heard the noise and knocked on the broken bowl.
"Good Samaritans, please enjoy the stuttering food."
Many blind people also spoke out.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to see others begging, so under Zhu Yuanzhang's governance, there were almost no beggars in Nanjing.
But there are countless beggars gathered here. Most of them are born or acquired blind and cannot do other things.
"They are all there, they are all there."
In front of me, there was a handsome monk who was giving alms to these blind people.
"Hey, isn't that Master Daoyan?"
Zhu Ningyun pointed forward.
"It seems that Master Daoyan is really kind-hearted, giving alms here."
Li Xiao also discovered it.
The three of them walked over there.
Master Daoyan was holding money and giving alms along the way. There were as many as a hundred beggars here, left and right.
"Master is so kind-hearted. He doesn't stay in the house, but he comes here to give alms."
Li Xiao walked over with a smile, said hello, and then winked to indicate that there was a big shot behind him.
Yao Guangxiao turned around and saw that there was indeed a big shot. He hurriedly walked over and handed over his hands, "I've seen Yao Guangxiao, a poor monk."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more about revealing his identity, and said: "When I first met you, I knew you had a Bodhisattva heart. Now that I see you, you are really like this."
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, I never thought that there are such poor people in this bustling city of Nanjing. The poor monk couldn't bear it, so he brought money to help. Monks don't have much money, so I will do my part." It’s just the heart.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked helpless at these blind beggars.
Zhu Ningyun came over, her heart softened, and said: "Why are there so many homeless beggars?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "The poor monk has just learned that most of these beggars are blind and deaf, unable to engage in production, abandoned by their families, or wandering here. They can only sleep under the bridge holes every day, eating and sleeping in the open air, exposed to the sun and rain. Damn, it's really pitiful. They can only survive by begging in Nanjing city. If they were in other poor places, they would probably starve to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "You monk is kind-hearted. There were originally three to four thousand beggars in Nanjing City. I have settled them all so that they have something to do. But there is nothing I can do about these blind and deaf people."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the beggar over there and said with emotion: "I once said that there would be no more beggars in the world, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even do it under the feet of my own emperor. In fact, I originally wanted to Build a house specifically to help these blind people, but if you do this, I am afraid that many people in the world will not be able to survive and regret their eyesight, which will only cause more human tragedies."
Zhu Yuanzhang would think far ahead when doing things. The reason why he didn't do this was because he was afraid that more people would blind him and make a living.
Yao Guangxiao bowed and said: "Your Majesty cares about all the people, but it is really difficult to have both ends of the matter. The poor monk also thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a good way. It's just that God is unfair. Some people are destined to be miserable when they are born. lifetime."
When it comes to this, everyone can't bear it. God is indeed unfair.
Some people are born rich and have no worries about food and clothing.
But some people come to this world to suffer, and it is extremely difficult to even survive.
Zhu Ningyun was so soft-hearted. When she saw those poor people, her eyes turned slightly red and she said, "How about my granddaughter give them more silver, so that they won't starve to death?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Ningyun, you can help for a while, but not for a lifetime. You can help one person, but you can't help everyone. If you give him money, you will only hurt him."
Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "Princess, your Majesty is absolutely right. They are disabled people. They cannot keep too much money and may lose their lives."
Zhu Ningyun thought for a while, and found that it was indeed the case. Then he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Xiaolang, do you have any idea?"
Li Xiao finally understood. Zhu Yuanzhang himself had been a beggar, so he didn't want to see beggars. Therefore, he stipulated that those with sound limbs were not allowed to beg, even if they went to the landlord's house to work as tenants. However, he could help beggars with sound limbs, but he could not. This mutilated blind man.
Li Xiao frowned slightly and thought about it, and said: "I have a plan that can make the blind and deaf people in the world have enough food and clothing to live in peace for the rest of their lives."
The words fell,
Zhu Yuanzhang and Yao Guangxiao both looked at Li Xiao in surprise.
This is impossible, right?
Let the blind and deaf people in the world have enough food and clothing? ?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for many years, but he couldn't think of a way.
The same is true for Yao Guangxiao. He had been thinking a lot just now, but he had no clue.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Li Xiao, don't talk big."
Zhu Ningyun, on the other hand, beamed with joy and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you don't know Li Xiao. He has many clever ideas. If there is a way, there must be one."
Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't believe it, so he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Tell me what you have to say. If you can do it and make the world free of beggars, I will give you a huge reward."
Li Xiao hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need a reward, but I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."
After all, Li Xiao is already a prince, so what reward does he need?
Yao Guangxiao was listening on the side. He had made up his mind to learn the dragon-supporting technique today, but he couldn't find the clue. He was eager to learn.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "Come and listen."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. His Majesty has already done this. For example, the restaurant was built by His Majesty and supported many cooks in it. Man, they make a living from it."
Zhu Yuanzhang wondered: "But what can a blind and deaf person do? He cannot see and cannot engage in production."
Li Xiao said with a smile: "What your Majesty said is very true, but I think that an inch is long and a foot is short. Everyone has his own strengths. In fact, blind and deaf people have a special advantage compared to ordinary people. No one can beat it."
The words fell.
Everyone is thinking about what advantages a blind man can have?
Yao Guangxiao was the first to wake up and said: "If blind people are better than ordinary people, it is only touch."
Zhu Ningyun looked confused: "Touch?"
Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested: "Let's talk and listen."
Yao Guangxiao then analyzed: "According to the observation of a poor monk, although blind people cannot see, they can use a stick to find their usual path and the way home, because there is nothingness in their eyes and they can only feel the things around them through touch. The environment, the soles of your feet can feel the difference in each floor, and the palms of your hands can touch the differences in people's faces."
After these words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized and said: "That's true, but what does this have to do with my restaurant?"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head, and then everyone's eyes fell on Li Xiao again.
Li Xiao asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, I gave you a massage this morning. Did you feel comfortable?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's very comfortable. It's more comfortable than the pressure of the imperial doctors in the palace. My muscles and bones are loosened and I can walk a little lighter."
Li Xiao added: "Actually, this is acupoint massage. If there is such a technique for rich people to enjoy it, would they be willing to pay for it?"
Let the rich enjoy it
this.
Everyone present's eyes lit up and they suddenly realized.
You Li Xiao, you actually thought of such a method! !
If we build an institution similar to a restaurant and organize massages for these blind people, it will solve their livelihood problem and they will not have to beg!
Yao Guangxiao's eyes shone brightly, Li Xiao's dragon-supporting skills were really great.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise and must have guessed Li Xiao's solution, which is to build a place and let these blind men give massages to the rich. Their sense of touch is several times more sensitive than ordinary people and they can easily find acupuncture points. It will also be able to press better. Those rich people spending money to enjoy themselves can solve the livelihood problems of these blind people. I believe that there will be no more beggars in Nanjing. If the business is booming, the court can also collect more shares, too. The income is not, I don’t know, more profitable than that restaurant.”
"Okay, great."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with great joy: "Yes, why didn't we think of it? I only need to build an institution and let businessmen run it, and these blind men can earn a living. I will really make the world beggar-free, once and for all."
Li Xiao cupped his hands and said: "I am not talented, but I know a little bit about medical skills. I can draw a picture of the acupuncture points to be massaged and give it to Your Majesty."
"Okay, Li Xiao, you are really an all-rounder!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiao and said, "You came up with this idea. What's the name of this organization?"
Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "It's not appropriate to ask a blind man for a massage. It's a bit unpleasant. How about asking a blind man for a massage?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Okay, let's call the blind man for massage. We will send someone to do it immediately. This is a wonderful trick. Li Xiao, you really surprised us. We will make those ministers unable to think of this trick even if they think about it."
Yao Guangxiao bowed towards Li Xiaoyi and said: "The talent of the Duke of the country makes the poor monk admire him very much. Such a clever plan seems simple, but it can help countless poor people. Our Buddha is compassionate, Amitabha. The word 'Yongle' in Duke Yongle" , It really makes the world happy and healthy."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was moved in his heart and thought, this Li Xiao has so many ideas, and they are all concerned about major issues concerning the people's livelihood in the world.
It is true as the monk said, the word "Yongle" can make the world happy and healthy.
Li Xiao still has complete autonomy over one county in Peiping. After one year, we will go and see for ourselves.
If it turns out to be what he said, we can let this kid publish a book to benefit future generations. Why not name it after his Duke, Yongle Dadian.
By then, it is time for us to abdicate. If the Yongle Ceremony can make the world healthy, then it is not unreasonable to call the reign of Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di Yongle!
Thinking of this,
Next, Zhu Yuanzhang walked much more briskly.
He has nothing to do now, and he only thinks about things to benefit the people of the world. Anyway, Zhu Di is in charge of the government.
"Get rid of the gambling stalls and the smoking place, and organize some massages for the blind."
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking about today's events.
This stroll made Zhu Yuanzhang feel extremely refreshed, and he also dealt with people's affairs during the recreation room.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Xiao, and Zhu Ningyun returned to Yangxin Hall, Zhu Di had finished revising his last memorial.
In fact, seeing that it was getting dark, Zhu Di asked the little fat Zhu Gaochi to get up, and he sat down to correct the memorials. When Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he happened to be seen.
"Fourth, how do you feel?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he asked with a smile.
Looking at his father's expression, Zhu Di knew that Li Xiao must have made the old man happy today, and said with a smile: "Father, that's it, all the corrections have been completed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, picked up a few memorials at random, looked at them, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, it is your first time to deal with state affairs, and you are at this level. I underestimate you. You are excellent in both civil and military skills."
Although most of the work was done by Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di didn't blush or his heart beat. He stretched and said, "Okay, father, today is over. I will leave first."
At this time, several eunuchs came over carrying memorials piled into a small mountain and placed them on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed and said: "Fourth Brother, the memorial you are correcting today is what we corrected last night. This is today's. You must correct at least half of it in the evening, otherwise it will not be completed tomorrow. By the way, tomorrow morning You go ahead, we won’t go, have a good sleep.”
The words fell.
Zhu Di was confused. He had been busy all day today, but he still had the leftovers from yesterday.
Today’s session hasn’t started yet?
After correcting all night, you still have to go to court tomorrow? ?
Zhu Di finally knew how his eldest brother died. He died of exhaustion! ! !
He said with a bitter look on his face: "Dad, you just handed over the child, can't you just let it all go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What, you are not happy?"
"Happily!" Zhu Di quickly changed his words.
"Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work." Li Xiao could only console him verbally, feeling a little sorry for his father-in-law.
This Zhu Yuanzhang directly cut off the prime minister, and everything in the country was down to the smallest details. The emperor had the power to make decisions alone, which would indeed be tiring.
No wonder, in the normal historical line, his father-in-law Zhu Di immediately established a cabinet as soon as he came to power.
"Okay, just leave it alone and go back to rest."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Li Xiao and others.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Several people bowed their hands and turned to leave.
"etc."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gao Chi, you can stay here. I'll pour tea for Gu Dao at night so I don't fall asleep."
Zhu Gaochi: "."
Li Xiao felt sorry for Zhu Gaochi again for a second.
Then slipped away
After returning to the mansion, everyone found that they didn't even have hot food, so they immediately asked the servants to prepare some side dishes. After the brothers had had enough wine and food, they had nothing to do. At Zhu Gaoxu's suggestion, they started playing mahjong. .
Li Xiao felt a little ashamed. He said he refused to gamble during the day and started gambling at night.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked unconvinced, obviously trying to get back the money they had exported.
After fighting, Li Xiao discovered that these two guys could actually win money. You would do it, I would do it, and soon the banknotes would pile up in front of you.
"Keep going, haha, I'm feeling lucky today."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled widely and looked very happy.
The same is true for Zhu Gaosui.
At this time, Zhu Ningyun sent a signal.
[Xiaolang, something is wrong. Why do these two people keep playing tricks today? Do they have the same mind? 】
[They have the same mind. Look at your younger brother and the third one, he is winking at you, for fear that others will not see that this is a signal. This is obviously discussed privately in advance. They are joining forces to win our money. 】
[Sure enough, this Gao Sui actually came up with this way to deal with us. Okay, okay, let them win a little bit. During this time, the two of them have been defeated.]
[Let them win a little bit, otherwise this brother’s relationship will be hurt.]
Mahjong was played into the night.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui have gained a lot, and they will obviously have to divide the money later.
Li Xiao felt that he had something to say clearly to Zhu Gaoxu, so he pulled him to a small room aside and whispered: "Second brother, how do you feel about today?"
Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I was a little depressed at first, but seeing my father's behavior today, I still think it's better to be a free prince."
That's not a human job at all. I was busy all day long and didn't even take a bite of the hot meal.
Li Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Great, just think of it this way. If your brother-in-law is in Peiping, you will be the richest vassal king."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded in approval, and said with emotion: "Hey, I won't be able to see my father and mother in the future, but it's okay. My brother-in-law, you and your sister are with me in Peking."
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiao and said seriously: "You can't leave me, you must stay in Peiping!"
Li Xiao nodded: "I promise you, I will always be in Peiping. Believe it or not, in the future, Peiping will be even more spectacular and greater than Nanjing if your brother-in-law helps you manage it!"
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed and said: "Believe it! Absolutely believe it!"
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look forward to that time.
But what Zhu Gaoxu never expected was that when this day came, Zhu Di was so greedy that he took the position directly. The father and son would eventually meet again.
When they returned to the room, Zhu Ningyun had already fallen asleep, as peacefully as a sleeping beauty.
Li Xiao lay gently on the bed and began to refresh items in the mall.
After all, they still need to set off a firework to show Zhu Yuanzhang. It is estimated that after watching it, they will return to Peiping.
"Brush! Brush! Brush! I'll brush again!"
Li Xiao was lying on the bed, constantly refreshing, and suddenly it lit up.
"I'll go and bring out a big baby!!"
