"No, I'm not." Seeing His Majesty pointing over, the chief shook his head vigorously. He knew what His Majesty was talking about.
If you can't admit it to yourself, how can you have that ability? Can't even remember the person's name.
Seeing that His Majesty was still pointing at him, he sweated even more and his eyes lit up: "I remembered his name again, He Wenhui."
"Yes, there is also Jining Hou Gushi, who has been fighting with us for many years. He Wenhui is our adopted son." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his hand, Bai was excited.
"Yes, yes! Hello, adopted son!" Li let out a long sigh, drank, and suppressed his shock.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and drank. He was not disappointed, but in a good mood. He considered it from another angle.
The master also knows how to fight, and he always pays attention to the court, always trying to help behind the scenes.
Train these children until they become successful, and they will be used as markers. There are seven girls among them. This girl...
"You should grow up! I saw that the girls in your village are pretty good-looking, I think..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, when they get older, we will recruit a son-in-law, as agreed, okay!"
The head of the village ignored etiquette and blocked His Majesty's words. The girls of our village will not marry the palace or officials.
The four words "agreed" are taught by Hanhan. They are a pun and can be understood in any way.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang also heard it. Did he agree with the girl, or did the master agree with the village?
"I thought it would be better to recruit a son-in-law." Zhu Yuanzhang could not force the village because of seven girls.
"Recruit a knowledgeable person as your son-in-law, and let the son-in-law take the imperial examination. If the son-in-law passes the exam, he will change the place of birth of the bride-in-law."
The chief explained again, isn't this also helping Ming Dynasty cultivate talents?
Zhu Yuanzhang's smile became more natural: "That's very good. I think I can learn more skills in the village."
He is very demanding, and he only wants to select capable people such as Liu Ji, Wang Guangyang, and Li Shanchang when conducting civil service examinations.
Those who know how to practice the Ming Dynasty can deal with domestic and foreign policies, and can also fight well.
Otherwise, if you know about breeding, planting, accounting, hydraulics, construction, etc., it will be fine.
In the end, there were too many differences between the ones chosen. If Xiaqiu Village could help raise a few useful ones, the big boy would not have to worry about being used.
Thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang toasted the old village wine again, and he felt bright in his heart.
Xiaqiu Village sent flintlock guns, methods for improving firecrackers, and glass mirrors that could be sold for money. In addition, the people in the village knew a lot and the children were smart.
It seems that God is congratulating the crown prince on his concubine, and now he is waiting for good news from the Northern Route Army.
…
On the other side, the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the Crown Princess were eating slowly. It was not dark yet! Some things can't be done.
Zhu Biao simply took out the music box and frog and showed them to the princess, who was looking into the dressing mirror.
She had soap, glass lamps, and no shortage of sweets. My mother got Niuhuang Angong Pills and that life-saving medicine called nitroglycerin tablets.
She had never seen a glass mirror before, but she used a copper mirror often. After using it for a while, the maid helped to rub it with cloth and deerskin. After rubbing it, it was almost the same as the current mirror.
When a music box played and the little man moved, she opened her eyes curiously.
"What is this?" she asked quietly.
"Music box, there are four kinds of music in four music boxes." Seeing that the other party liked it, Zhu Biao was also happy, just like offering a treasure.
After the two of them had finished listening to the four music boxes, Zhu Biao wound up the frog again and jumped away with a click.
"The things arrived late, so it's not convenient to send them to you. Also, this glazed mirror only arrived three days ago.
This mirror is easier to clean than a bronze mirror, and generally there will be no scratches unless it is rubbed with sand.
It is said to have high hardness, similar to glass, so it doesn't matter if it breaks accidentally.
The mirrors in the palace are made of wood, but ours is made of gold and silver. "
Zhu Biao has a little bit of a desire to show off. No matter the price, the things are not available elsewhere.
The princess nodded slightly after hearing this: "Which skilled craftsman made it?"
"The congratulatory gifts from Xiaqiu Village, the soap and glass lamps you used were also made by Xiaqiu Village and given to the palace recipe.
There are also life-saving medicines, Angong Niuhuang Pills made by Tai Hospital, and nitroglycerin tablets, which are only provided by Xiaqiu Village.
They don't hand over the prescription, but they have transparent glass and use it to make a telescope. I'll show it to you. "
Zhu Biao went to get the monocular telescope again. The Crown Princess was shocked when she took it and saw it suddenly in front of her eyes.
Then she realized: "If this is used in war, wouldn't it..."
"It's just for the soldiers. A batch was sent from Xiaqiu Village. My father said that the masters were afraid that we might accidentally reveal the secret and the enemy would learn from it."
Zhu Biao had nothing to hide from his concubine, who was Chang Yuchun's daughter and was married to him at the fingertips.
"Xiaqiu Village needs to send people to protect them, but it's really impossible to move them here." The princess naturally thought of moving.
"No, there is an expert here. I'm afraid that the expert will hide after being angry. That expert..."
Zhu Biao began to talk about things one by one. From the beginning to the present, how did the master lead a village that lived a normal life to suddenly become rich.
A village has more money and larger livestock than a county, but only 552 people, including a fool who guards the village.
The princess was stunned. She was not ignorant. She knew many powerful officials and generals.
Including the previous Zuo Cheng, You Cheng and others.
Her father is dead, but her connections are still there, and she holds the loyalty of her father's men.
But at this moment, she felt that she had little experience. There were people who were so powerful, from farming to breeding to making all kinds of good things.
"Because of this, they were given the means to make their own firecrackers, allowed to imitate them for their own use, and then they sent better firearms to the imperial court?"
The princess wants to understand the link. If you don't let them make it, they won't dare to make it.
"The main reason is that they are stupid and don't know how to make fire pleats. Here's the thing..." Zhu Biao told a joke.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled. It was already dark, Zhu Biao looked at each other, and then the two looked at each other...
…
"Now that we've finished our meal, I'll let the shopkeeper prepare the soup."
When the people from Xiaqiu Village returned to Fuhua Building, they had all eaten, but they were not full. Hanhan, the head teacher, usually did not eat to full at night, especially after being hungry all day.
The director was very embarrassed because he couldn't eat what others had prepared.
"It doesn't matter, where can you eat?" The shopkeeper was curious and wanted to know.
"Wuying Hall is the place where His Majesty convenes the ministers. His Majesty is very talkative. He knew that we would not be able to eat at Chunhe Hall, so he specially sent someone to take us to Wuying Hall."
The chief did not hide anything, but he would not tell the other party how to go after entering the imperial city, especially the Prince's Mansion.
The shopkeeper's eyes were full of envy and he didn't dare to be jealous. He clicked his lips and said, "What does the food in the palace taste like?"
"It's the same as what we usually eat. We'll cook it for you to taste in the past two days. We have to wait for the prince's banquet."
The head of the village still told the truth, and His Majesty ordered people to cook according to the recipe of Xiaqiu Village.
"Okay, okay!" The shopkeeper looked forward to it.
