Lu Yuan asked around.
It is just an advance fleet, and the subsequent large forces should be in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas.
It will be almost back in a month or two.
However, the court must have known about this for a long time.
Because this advance fleet will definitely not go directly to Haijin from the sea.
Instead, we first go to Guangdong and Guangxi, then supply supplies, and then come up along the way.
When the advance team arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, it was natural that the news would be conveyed to the court on land.
This land route is much faster than the sea route.
The court probably knew about this when he and Lu Qing were in Yili's control.
Then Zheng He comes back.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before I go out to sea again.
This is a good opportunity.
There is a lot of wealth in the ocean.
Of course, for Lu Yuan, or in other words, for the current Lieqian Dynasty.
Ordinary wealth is no longer in sight.
What matters are various resources, land, and population.
These are very important.
Of course, besides that, there is one more thing.
That is, now Lu Yuan already has many, many things.
"Alchemy" is also available.
Next, Lu Yuan can start building the steam engine.
There's a steam engine.
Then there are trains and... steamships.
A very large steam iron ship, its carrying capacity is much greater than that of a sailboat.
When I go to Luxi this time, I naturally have to make arrangements for this matter.
The principle of the steam engine is actually not very advanced.
Do you know about pressure cookers?
Not much different than a pressure cooker.
The only difficulty with this steam engine is its airtightness.
Needs better rubber.
Seriously, rubber must be made from petroleum.
It's not possible to specify rubber like the one used on bicycles.
However, Lu Yuan now has "Alchemy".
Lu Yuan's "Alchemy" is not just about turning iron into steel.
That can also strengthen the rubber.
so.
Speaking of which, we need to set up a shipyard.
If you set up a shipyard, you will naturally need shipbuilding experience.
These people from the advance fleet are also included.
Although they are crew members.
But you know, they're not just crew members.
These people were at sea for three years.
Not only do you need to know how to sail, you also need to know how to repair and repair ships.
Otherwise, what will happen if the ship leaks at sea?
Then they have to cultivate it themselves.
Therefore, these people must have some experience in ship construction.
In particular, they are people who have sailed far away.
Understand the wind and waves on the sea better.
For these people, just ask your grandfather directly.
…
It's about two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Yuan drove to Prince Lu's Mansion.
I went in to find my grandfather, but the answer I got was.
Not here.
He said he was going for a walk in the newly built park.
Lu Yuan could only drive his car to look for it again.
While driving the car, I watched Lu Xi's situation.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
If you don't say this is an alien world, it's ancient times.
When someone who didn't know this came in, they would have thought the earth was in the 1970s and 1980s.
This is so similar.
What's so special? Especially the way the people here dress is similar to the 1970s and 1980s on Earth.
People in Luxi rarely wear long robes, they all wear the same labor protection uniforms as on Earth.
In factories in Luxi, many sets of labor insurance suits, also known as factory uniforms, are given to employees in each season.
This kind of clothing is easy to wear, resistant to stains, and the fabric is good.
For ordinary people, these clothes are much better than the coarse linen clothes that everyone usually wears.
Therefore, people in Luxi have several sets of clothes, so naturally everyone in their family can wear them.
Especially when there are people wearing earthly cadre hats.
It's the kind Uncle Benshan wears.
For a moment, don't tell me, this place really looks like the Earth in the 1970s and 1980s.
It really made Lu Yuan feel a little dazed.
Lu Xi has changed so much now, it's really changing with each passing day.
Lu Yuan had been gone for more than two or three months, and suddenly Lu Xi changed drastically again.
It goes without saying that Lu Yuan has trained so many people.
Isn’t that what it’s for?
The planning team of the city hall has close to 200 to 300 people.
Luxi has so much labor force. If it can't make rapid progress, it will really be raising waste.
At the park entrance, Lu Yuangang got off the car.
Then he saw the eunuch who was following his grandfather.
However, the eunuch did not wear red robes today.
On the contrary, he was dressed like an ordinary person.
Lu Yuan looked at the eunuch with curiosity and before he could say anything, the eunuch came up to him and said:
"Hey, Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Lu Yuan closed the car door and said curiously:
"Come to see my grandpa. Where is my grandpa? Why didn't you follow?"
The eunuch said with a bitter face:
"Oh, I'm telling you, this prince insists on going in to play chess by himself and won't let us follow him."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong."
After that, Lu Yuan wanted to go in by himself.
The eunuch quickly grabbed Lu Yuandu and said:
"Oh, Your Majesty, you can't wear this.
Your Majesty will have to scold you if he sees you wearing this and revealing his identity. "
Lu Yuan blinked and said:
"Hey, this old man, he even dressed up incognito for a private visit, right?"
Chief eunuch: "????"
"Your Majesty?? I dare not say this. What are you talking about!"
Lu Yuan ignored the frightened eunuch and walked to the back of the car.
After taking off the prince's fine clothes, he put on a set of leather clothes and shoes.
Then he strolled in.
There really isn’t much to see in the park in winter.
The trees are all bare.
Originally, this park was not yet completed.
Lu Yuan went in to take a look and found that the infrastructure had just been completed.
The floor tiles were laid and some fitness equipment was installed, such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, spinners, swings and so on.
Like planting flowers, planting trees, etc., this starts in spring and summer.
So, this park is not doing well now.
However, no matter how bad this is, it is definitely better than before.
How had anyone in the Liegan Dynasty seen this before, especially those at the lowest level with their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky?
It’s this winter...
These guys don't mind the cold either.
There are so many people in the park.
Most of them are old men.
After all, these old men are the only ones who can come out during this time period.
These people are basically workers' families.
Lu Yuan went in and looked around, but found that there were several piles of old men surrounding the park, but there was no sign of his grandfather.
Liu Ninglu, who had returned to the jade pendant, said that her grandfather was at the small lake in the center of the park.
After Lu Yuan left, he saw Emperor Yongle sitting on a small horse and guarding a fishing rod.
I don't know if there were other old men sitting on either side of my grandfather who came to fish.
My grandfather didn't know what to say to these old men. He was laughing and looking very happy.
Looking around, many people wearing casual clothes were hiding around.
"Hey, Grandpa, you are fishing here."
After Lu Yuan strolled over, he opened his mouth and shouted.
Emperor Yongle, who was talking to others and didn't know what to say, turned around with a look of astonishment.
After seeing Lu Yuan, Emperor Yongle said in astonishment:
"Eh?
Why are you here? "
Lu Yuan was startled, then smiled and said:
"There's nothing going on in the factory today, so I came out early.
I want to ask you what we are going to eat tonight. Can we go to the market to buy it? "
After saying that, Lu Yuan blinked.
Emperor Yongle was startled, and then he laughed and quickly called to the people next to him:
"Old Song, Old Liu, take a look.
This is... my good grandson, what I just told you! "
Several old men nearby looked back at Lu Yuan, looking at Lu Yuan's leather clothes and leather shoes.
He was a little curious and said:
"Hey, your grandson is a big leader, right?"
Another wise man said:
"Looking at your accent, are you cadres transferred from the Imperial City?"
Lu Yuan came to Emperor Yongle's side, found a small stool from the side and sat down, then smiled and said:
"Yes."
I don’t know how my grandfather disguised his identity before, so I can’t say more for fear of exposing my grandfather’s secret.
Emperor Yongle laughed, patted Lu Yuan's shoulder with one hand, and said proudly to the old men around him:
"I told you that my grandson is a high-ranking official, but you still don't believe it."
Listening to his grandfather's words, Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
Hey.
This old man has been here for only half a month, my dear, his accent has changed a bit.
Lu Yuan looked at Emperor Yongle and smiled:
"I heard someone say, weren't you playing chess? Why did you catch a fish?"
I never heard that my grandfather liked fishing before.
When Emperor Yongle heard the word "playing chess", he couldn't help but be startled, and then his face rose and he said:
"Those are stinky chess pieces, don't hesitate to play against them!"
After Emperor Yongle finished speaking, several old men around him laughed and said:
"Xiao Lu, don't listen to your grandfather's nonsense.
It's your grandpa who can't defeat others. "
"Hahaha, when your grandfather first came here, he said he was very good at chess.
As a result, he sat down and was killed within a few moves. "
What these people said somewhat broke Emperor Yongle's guard, and he held his neck high and said:
"My best thing is not chess!
Let’s try playing Go if we can! "
Everyone laughed and said:
"What's the point of Go? It's more fun to kill in chess!"
Lu Yuan looked at this scene, smiled and shook his head, then stepped forward and pulled Yu Hu.
Good guy, I caught a lot.
When Lu Yuan put down the fish guard and looked back at Emperor Yongle.
Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan with a proud look on his face and said:
"Hey, your grandpa is awesome!
No one here can fish as much as your grandpa! "
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little envious and said:
“I don’t know what’s going on, but the fish here just catch your grandpa’s hook.
We fished here for most of the day, which was less than your grandfather fished for an hour. "
Lu Yuan grinned and said a few more good words.
Afterwards, he sat quietly next to Emperor Yongle, looking like a good grandson.
At this time, a person next to him caught a fish.
He started shouting.
Everyone stopped talking to Lu Yuan and stretched their necks to watch.
Emperor Yongle turned to look at Lu Yuan and said with a smile:
"How did you come?"
Lu Yuan did not beat around the bush and whispered quickly in his grandfather's ear:
"I found traces of Jingnan's rebel thief."
Emperor Yongle: "???"
"!!!"
If we want to talk about what Emperor Yongle cared about most after his arrest, it was Emperor Jianwen.
Speaking of which, when Zheng He went to the West, there were also rumors that his grandfather wanted to go to Southeast Asia to find traces of Emperor Jianwen.
Anyway, this matter is my grandfather's top priority.
This is about the throne.
Of course, this kind of thing is nothing to a modern person like Lu Yuan.
Can't understand.
In Lu Yuan's view, the current emperor is his grandfather.
Even if you, Emperor Jianwen, suddenly appear somewhere in Southeast Asia, what will happen?
Back then, it was useless even if Jianwen was in Liegan, wasn't he beaten away by his grandfather?
What difference does it make whether Emperor Jianwen is alive or dead now?
However, this is always the thought of Lu Yuan, a modern man.
But for my grandfather, this was definitely not what he had in mind.
This is my grandfather's problem.
The biggest heartache.
When Lu Yuan said this, Emperor Yongle's hand holding the fishing rod couldn't help but tremble.
He looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment.
Half a minute later, when the old man next to him pulled up the big fish, he was about to fight with Emperor Yongle.
However, everyone discovered that Emperor Yongle's position was empty.
Only a fishing rod and a fish guard on the shore were left, and all the fish in the fish guard were released.
At this time, Lu Yuan and Emperor Yongle were already in the car.
"Where did you get the news, are you sure?"
Emperor Yongle, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked while fastening his seat belt.
Before this, there was absolutely no news about his Ouchi Qingcang Guard.
Where did the news about his grandson come from?
Lu Yuan started the vehicle and drove towards Prince Lu's Mansion, while nodding and saying:
"Last time, I caught a big spy in the Imperial City.
That big spy is related to the Jingnan rebels, so we have been tracing it, and today we have some clues. "
Lu Yuan had already thought of an excuse when he arrived.
Naturally, whatever Emperor Yongle asked, Lu Yuan would answer.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Emperor Yongle sat in the passenger seat and frowned while thinking:
"Do you want to ambush me on my way back..."
A few seconds later, Emperor Yongle showed a fierce look, then raised his head slightly and said:
"Grasp!
Catch alive!
After being caught, I was so nervous that I must ask about Jianwen’s whereabouts! "
Lu Yuan smiled from the side and said:
"Don't worry, grandpa, none of these people can escape!"
"Whenever you plan to return to Luan, I will have the Shenwei Battalion to ambush you secretly."
Speaking of this, Emperor Yongle was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Yuan, blinked and said:
"How is your father?"
My own father?
Lu Yuan was startled, and then said with a strange expression:
"It's pretty good. I've been busy reading memorials every day, and I haven't been home for several days."
Emperor Yongle blinked, then nodded and said:
"oh……"
oh?
Lu Yuan turned to look at his grandfather with a strange look on his face, not knowing what he meant.
However, Lu Yuan did not ask any more questions, but said directly:
"Grandpa, the advance fleet of the fleet you sent out three years ago has arrived in Haijin today. Do you know that?"
Emperor Yongle nodded and said:
"Of course I know. I heard that there are many envoys from other countries who are coming back this time. There are hundreds of them!"
Such a prosperous scene of all nations coming to court made Emperor Yongle feel extremely good for a while.
And this is what Lu Yuan wants to say.
Immediately, Lu Yuan blinked and said:
"Grandpa, let me entertain so many envoys from other countries, right?"
"I will take good care of them."
Um?
Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression.
Serve them well?
For a moment, Emperor Yongle felt that his grandson didn't hold it in well.
