The chief went to the palace and took Hanhan with him, otherwise he would be worried that he would not be able to remember what the emperor said to him.
Entering the hall, the two of them knelt down. The chief once again talked about what he said when he was summoned last time. Zhu Wentian still said the same word three times.
"Get up, Hanhan is here too? We are so happy when we see Hanhan, we want to laugh, hey hey hey!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the two of them to stand up. He deliberately said "hanhan" and even laughed twice. He liked to look at the village guards of Xiaqiu Village.
Don't look at Hanhan, who has a silly smile on his face. He has clean hair and face, and a strong body.
Zhu Yuanzhang was envious. They were all villages. Why didn't he encounter Xiaqiu Village when he was a child?
The chief didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, so he stood up with a look of innocence and bowed.
"I'm looking for you today, Yichang. One reason is that the prince and the princess like the gifts sent by your village. They both want to ask what else Xiaqiu Village needs. Please speak up."
Zhu Yuanzhang refused to give him a seat, and ended after asking. He had a place to eat.
The chief was slightly startled, and then replied:
Time flies like a flash, that autumn, it is said that the fingers are married. The childhood sweetheart asks the king about his heart, he is like a picture, waiting to be married in his boudoir.
It's summer when the harvest is abundant, the flowers are blooming, and the East Palace of Guoben is in full bloom. The golden wind and jade dew are becoming thick, the etiquette is accepted, and the world is at peace.
As soon as the long words were finished, everyone in the hall was stunned. Zhu Yuanzhang blinked and his eye circles were red, thinking of Chang Yuchun.
"What a song for the reunion of the golden wind and jade dew." Wang Guangyang pointed out the lyrics and looked at the length carefully.
He understands this, he is proficient in classics, can write, and is good at poetry. Unlike the later Ming Dynasty, the eight-legged essay was so popular that no one studied poetry very much.
"Okay, okay! Reward, deserve reward." Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang know that the lyrics were called "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Encounter Song". Yes, it was festive and suitable for a prince to accept a concubine.
Hu Weiyong stared at the inside and thought, "You are better at licking than me. You are already prepared, right?" If I don’t come to you today, who will you tell me to come?
A palace maid came over with twenty taels of silver. The chief knelt down to thank him and gave the silver to Hanhan. It was too heavy and Hanhan had no strength.
Zhu Wentian was giggling there with ten taels and one ingot of silver in his hand. He was not prepared in vain, just to deal with emergencies.
"Give me a seat." Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to chat for a while.
The eunuch brought two small tables and two stools, and put the seasonal fruits on them. No food was given, and the fruits were not for people to eat, so that the tables would not be so empty and look good.
Zhu Biao came forward with the princess and held a wine cup with the palace maid beside him.
Zhu Biao personally served the wine to the mayor and Hanhan, and Hanhan had to put the money in his inner pocket.
"Zhu Lichang, the Crown Princess and I toast you a drink, and you drink too, Hanhan." Zhu Biao and his wife toasted each other with wine.
"Hey! Drink! Hey hey hey!" Before the mayor could say anything, Hanhan started to laugh out of respect.
"Thank you, Prince and Princess." the chief responded.
After the four people finished drinking, Zhu Biao and his wife went back again, and the etiquette was fulfilled.
"Zhu Yichang, Long Live asked you what you want, and you haven't said it yet!"
Hu Weiyong was causing trouble, and he said in his heart that I will let you show your ability. His Majesty wants to give you something, what do you want? Want gold and silver jewelry? snort!
"Yes, the village has given so many things to the palace and the imperial court, and the palace should give them as gifts in return."
Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned that Xiaqiu Village provided a lot of things, and even asking for jewelry and other things was not too much.
The leader who had just sat down stood up again and replied: "Xiaqiu Village, please give me a needle, a spoon, a bowl, and a stroke."
"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered, and everyone was equally confused. What do they want with this?
Queen Ma thought about it, shook her head, and asked, "Zhu Lichang, tell me what you want these four things for?"
The head of the village bowed and said, "Replying to the Queen's words, Your Majesty has given the village a golden needle, which will be passed down from generation to generation to repay the kindness of the King. It will lead to calming the world's sea affairs, repairing the mountains and rivers, and protecting the universe.
The village takes a ladle to scoop out the rivers, and sprinkles the drizzle with the sky. Drinking horses and border crossings to determine the territory, there will be no catastrophes in the Ming Dynasty for a thousand years.
A jade bowl contains fine seeds, and the seedlings are cultivated and planted in all the ridges in the world. The people are happy and the emperor is happy, and he will not sigh and startle the clouds.
There is a long flow of missionaries written by imperial writers, and there are endless songs of peace and prosperity. It is difficult to exhaust the pillars of the country, and now we can trace the Spring and Autumn Period from Hongwu. "
There was silence all around, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red with excitement.
Hu Weiyong's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and looked at Li Chang, "You, you are shameless, you are shameless, you..."
"Hahahaha..." After a few breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily. He stood up and walked down, signaling the maid to bring the wine.
When the wine arrived, he picked up a glass: "Come on, come on, Yichang, have a drink with us, and Hanhan, hahaha... Why do we love to listen to you talk so much?"
The chief and Hanhan each took a glass and drank first as a sign of respect. Zhu Yuanzhang also raised his head and drank it: "If the chief dares to say this to us, I will chop his head off. If you say it to the chief, we will be happy."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide his attitude at all. Other village leaders said so, but it was not true in Xiaqiu Village. Xiaqiu Village had been doing it all the time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me." The chief quickly saluted.
"No, kill, eh! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian insisted on his character design.
"If you don't want to kill him, you are a fool with a tiger head and a tiger head." Zhu Yuanzhang touched Han Han's head and said to the village chief: "Yi Chang, please go back to the village to eat. The needles, spoons, bowls and pens you want will be given to you tomorrow." Go, I heard that I want to buy a house in the village, and you can see how to repair it first."
The head of the village saluted and said goodbye, and pulled Hanhan away. He was also very excited. Hanhan had put the teachings to use, but it was a pity that no one jumped out to look for trouble again, and there were still things to deal with.
When the two of them walked away, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile did not diminish: "Did you write it down? Write it down for us."
He thinks this is a promise given by an expert, and he will try his best to help in the future.
Queen Ma also had a smile on her face, and she was willing to listen to Shun Xin's words on her big day. She was so awesome! You've figured out that there will be such a round, and teach the village chief in advance.
It's really a good thing. Jiang Shang and Zhuge have always been like this when they were alive, right?
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also had their thoughts in mind. Xiaqiu Village is extraordinary! Your Majesty called someone over on the spur of the moment. Who knew His Majesty would call someone else? Not to mention what to ask.
People in Xiaqiu Village prepare for a rainy day and prepare for the enemy in advance.
"If you have no battle but the temple is the winner, you have to count it as more; if you have no battle but the temple is the loser, you have to count the less. More is the winner, less is the loser, and what's more, nothing counts!"
Liu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, quoted a sentence from Sun Tzu's Art of War, and many people nodded in approval. It is indeed true.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his lips and narrowed his eyes. He thought of what the commander said that day about the attack on Sichuan.
It was just like today, it was arranged suddenly, and then I asked about it myself, and the answer was...
There are also village elders who are familiar with planting and breeding, children learn how to deal with it, and stories come one after another.
Looking at the situation, the village has been preparing for any emergencies since the prince wrote to invite him to watch the ceremony.
If some things were left to the village during the war, I think they would still be well prepared. There would be no need to improvise, just a thorough plan.
"Go and prepare these four things, and add a document for each. In addition, establish a place of loyalty, justice, and kindness for Xiaqiu Village."
Zhu Yuanzhang drank another cup of wine and ordered people to do it.
