The coachman opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally held back and ate his own chicken.
He didn't think the other party was lying. He thought he was from the palace. Don't ask more, but is the smoked chicken in the palace better than this?
"It's not very delicious. I think there are many people buying it." A child commented while eating.
"Yes, it's not as good as Fuhua Building. Let's go back there to eat in the evening." The little girl followed.
Other villagers nodded, and there were various snacks that were not as good as those made in the village, including steamed fish and old duck soup.
Little do they know that the recipes of Hanhan Cult are all refined over time, and that the same dish has different methods in different regions.
Some dishes require seasonings, and you have to buy them at the drug store. Who is cooking at the drug store now?
The coachman was at a loss again. Could it be that he had mistakenly thought that these people were pretending to be ordinary people?
He just ate his own food and earned a meal and money to feed the horses. These meals were good.
After eating, continue reading and go to the Qinhuai River. Go west from where you are eating, not far from the Qinhuai River.
When we arrived at the river, someone was selling cold drinks. The driver swallowed his saliva and wondered if everyone could buy it. If you buy it, you can get one for yourself.
As a result, the children just looked at it, but no one wanted to eat. The ice looked dirty and not as good as the ones in the village.
Not to mention the other ingredients, how about grabbing them directly? Have you washed your hands? Everyone in the village uses tools.
I don’t want to eat. Seeing that the prince is getting married, I have a bad stomach. Brother Hanhan gives me medicine to take. What if it’s too late?
"I'll pay you the fare for one day." The director found that it was inconvenient for many outsiders to talk to each other, and Hanhan stopped talking.
"Isn't this bad? How are you going back?" The coachman was happy and embarrassed at the same time, taking too much advantage.
"Take a boat back. There are many boats on the shore, so I found a boat and turned back." The captain pointed to the boats on the Qinhuai River.
"Then...I'm really leaving?" The coachman took the money, thirty cents a day. He just rented a car to support his family and had no land.
Everyone waved to him, and he looked back again and again, then drove off and took another job. Even if it was ten cents, he would still make more money.
As soon as the coachman left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was not convenient to chat with him around.
"Zhu Lichang, when you are away from home, you are not as good as at home. If you need anything for food, you can get it from the palace.
Now Guanglu Temple can cook whatever dishes your village can cook, and they are guaranteed to taste the same as your village. "
Zhou Zong saw that everyone didn't like to eat snacks from outside, so he suggested that Guanglu Temple would prepare them and deliver them to them. It wouldn't be a problem.
Li Chang thought about it and shook his head: "I don't want it. The food in Fuhua Building is fine."
"Do you have a good night's sleep? Can I give you soothing incense?" Zhou Zong mentioned something else.
"We have brought some powders with us. If we need any medicinal materials, we will trouble Zhou Sheren."
The headmaster still refused. When he went out, many things were ready. The money has not been spent yet. The children have always brought copper coins.
Unless someone is sick and the powder they bring doesn't work, the palace has to ask for it.
The guards from the Prince's Palace are here and can provide help at any time. Entering the palace is not a problem. Hanhan has the Prince's jade pendant!
Zhou Zong thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. At worst, he would call someone from Tai Hospital.
Everyone continued to tour, and the box containing the silver was lifted up by two guards using a wooden pole.
One thousand taels of silver weighed more than 70 kilograms. It was difficult for one person to carry it, and even Hanhan was unwilling to carry it.
The level of consumption along the Qinhuai River has become higher, and people in well-dressed clothes can be seen everywhere. Girls do not open their doors during the day, but they will come out and show their beauty.
There were other literati reading and writing in the shade, so the girl went over to read together.
Some of the places where officials most like to visit prostitutes include the families of criminal officials.
Officials don't have any special hobbies in finding such women. When they don't understand something in the officialdom, they ask someone to ask.
Especially the wives of older officials, who are in their fifties and sixties. Why are there still people willing to spend money? The price is still high!
After Zhu Wentian's friends saw the girls, the male friends thought they were beautiful, and the female friends also wanted to imitate their movements.
Zhu Wentian was indifferent. He couldn't marry anyway. The court's decree restricted it. If you take it, you will be beaten, and then you will be forcibly separated.
He looked at those literati and thought they were boring, so they came here to study?
The imperial examination was taken this year. Once it is over, you will have to take it again in three years.
They probably failed the list. There are only 120 people in total this year, and one of them is a foreigner.
The first place was Wu Bozhong, and the second place was Guo Chong. It is said that Guo Chong was not handsome enough, so he was ranked second.
Three years...
Zhu Wentian looked at his friends and looked at the boys. Would three years be enough to teach a top pick?
There are no three years. I finished the exam today and will take it again next year. The third time will be in the 18th year of Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that the students who took the exam before were not good, so he simply stopped and continued to recommend others to become officials in the court.
It was obviously too late for his friends, unless he went back to take the childbirth examination after attending the prince's wedding.
Forget it, why can’t I take the exam and become an official? That’s troublesome!
Zhu Wentian gave up the idea of becoming an official. Being Zhu Yuanzhang's official was too tiring, so it was better to let the children in the village do it.
There will be no exam next year, and then... maybe it can be changed so that Zhu Yuanzhang can still hold the imperial exam every three years.
Zhu Yuanzhang mainly complained that those who participated in the imperial examination had no practical ability. He said: There are many young people who have passed the imperial examination. Judging from their writing and words, if they can be useful, and try them out, there are very few who can put what they have learned into practice. I seek talents with sincerity, but the world responds to me with false words. This is not my intention to seek talents with sincerity. Nowadays, it is appropriate to suspend the imperial examinations in various places, and do not order the inspectors to promote talented people.
It means that I can write articles one by one, but I can’t do things, I can’t do anything, I’m tired...
Zhu Wentian also knew why Zhu Yuanzhang valued the experts in Xiaqiu Village, because he led the village to develop from the very basics.
This seems to be what Daming needs most, something that can be learned immediately, so he has to continue to be down-to-earth when cultivating his friends.
When you become an official, don't think about being greedy. The village has money, but what you get greedy for is not as much as what the village earns.
It was not even the turn of a child from the village to become prime minister. By the time he was promoted to that level, Zhu Yuanzhang would have already centralized power.
Neither Hu Weiyong nor Hu Weiyong could prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from firmly controlling power, and he would deal with whoever was in that position.
Li Shanchang had already resigned, but he was still remembered in the end.
When an official of Zhu Yuanzhang should not have too much power, this is a kind of political wisdom, but he must achieve practical results, which involves a test of human nature.
"Hanhan, let's get on the boat. Let's take a closer look. We were in such a hurry when we arrived. There were so many things and we passed by in a blink of an eye."
The chief greeted Hanhan, who was stunned. Could it be that he missed those girls?
"Hey! The boat is rocking, eh! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian came to his senses and ran to the dock to help the village elder.
