Although Zhu Yuanzhang set up the system of Ming Dynasty as the mother country and China as the auxiliary country, he did not issue this news in the form of a decree for a day, so Zhu Yuanzhang was the shadow above all the courtiers.

This is why the courtiers wanted to urge Zhu Yuanzhang to go to court as soon as possible.

The courtiers knew that it was Zhu Han who proposed the Ming Dynasty reform. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's courage, he would never have thought that since it was Zhu Han's mention, Zhu Yuanzhang would handle it as quickly as possible.

However, this time the courtiers made a mistake. Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but accelerated the construction of the Supervision Department and the Prosecution Department. And at the beginning of the establishment of the Supervision Department, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to have the Supervision Department sink to the state capital to review and check. Accounts of various state capitals.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Aren’t you afraid of me? Then just be on tenterhooks for a while longer.

While doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang never showed up, and Zhu Biao was still responsible for the operation of the court. Money was invested in Qiongzhou, making many people realize that Qiongzhou would become the next hot spot.

What are you waiting for?

Invest now!

Today, Ming Dynasty still has a strong rural sentiment, but some people are beginning to go out and start running for their own livelihood.

To put it bluntly, it’s about making money.

The four major industries of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have gradually become equalized. Except for the special group of scholars, there is basically no distinction between high and low.

Zhao Min had already made the first batch of new clothes and had people try them on. Zhao Min immediately asked the tailor to measure Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and customized several styles for them overnight, including Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite. , that is, a white shirt and a black jacket.

This kind of clothing, which was originally introduced from the West, suddenly became Ming Dynasty clothing.

The only pity is that there are no leather shoes. If there were leather shoes, Zhu Yuanzhang would look more like an elder in them.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year.

Great court meeting.

All civil and military officials gathered together.

It was already mentioned in the last court meeting that Zhu Yuanzhang would attend the court meeting on Xiaonian Day, and the courtiers began to make careful preparations.

The New Year is coming soon, so there is no need to talk about some bad things, otherwise with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, no one will have a good time this year, so it doesn't hurt to talk about some happy things. After all, Ming Dynasty is developing very well, so it makes sense to only talk about happy things.

However, the way Zhu Yuanzhang appeared was a bit special.

There is no so-called dragon robe, just a very ordinary Mingfu suit, but it really attracted everyone's attention.

My God, what kind of clothes is Zhu Yuanzhang wearing?

Why does it look so ordinary but so beautiful?

"Hey, our clothes look good, don't they?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up proudly and walked around the hall so that the officials could see clearly. Then he said ostentatiously: "These are the clothes that my sister-in-law designed for us in the clothing factory in Yingtiankai. They are called new styles." Mingfu, our Ming Dynasty is reforming and creating a different prosperous age. Since we want to change, we might as well change it thoroughly and change the clothes... We have decided that this new Mingfu will be the official work clothes in our court from now on. There is a tailor who will measure your waist and make your clothes before the end of the year."

This...can we wear it too?

The courtiers were extremely excited. They never expected that they could wear the same clothes as Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What can't we wear? We are an emperor and we are human beings. Even the clothes we wore before are all the same, just different colors and patterns. Wear them all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see the courtiers' surprise, and said with a smile: "It's just clothes, how can there be distinction between high and low? It just looks good on you, so what...these newly designed clothes were designed by the King of England. Do you think the King of England’s vision is okay?”

OK!

That's great!

When the courtiers saw Zhu Yuanzhang wearing the new Ming Dynasty clothes, they immediately realized that this set of clothes was going to be popular. They all pooled some money to imitate a batch, and they would definitely make a lot of money. However, Zhu Yuanzhang said that the clothes were designed by Zhu Han. Then we can't do anything anymore.

Are you kidding? Who doesn't know that Zhu Han is the most protective person?

As for Zhu Han making money...he doesn't even want the world, so what's wrong with making some money?

If you can't make money by imitating clothes, then invest them. Everyone can get a share of the money earned, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the table and said to everyone: "We think this suit is very reasonably designed and has great demands on our body shape and waistline. So in the future, except for those with special health conditions, we must follow the requirements! Mr. Li , come back and come up with a copy of the rules and regulations, and ask them to strictly follow the rules to maintain their figure and waistline."

】

Li Shanchang did not change his expression after hearing this: "Yes."

"..."

The courtiers were a little anxious when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

We were in a bad class, 'enjoying' the pressure Zhu Yuanzhang brought to them, and you actually have requirements for our figures?

This crappy class...it’s okay if you don’t get into it!

However, this is just thinking in their hearts, they are reluctant to give up their position in the court. After all, the court leads them to invest, and these benefits cannot be experienced elsewhere.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I won't disturb everyone's interest."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said to the courtiers: "If there are any matters before the year, we should deal with them as soon as possible. We will have a holiday on the twenty-seventh."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while and saw that all the courtiers were holding back their words. He felt secretly happy and clocked out happily.

When the courtiers saw Zhu Yuanzhang leaving happily, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts... If you have something to do, you can talk about it. Is it interesting to keep hanging on to us courtiers like this? Are you happy to see us in pain?

What the courtiers wanted to hear most was for Zhu Yuanzhang to tell him about the restructuring of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused to say it, which made all the courtiers feel very uncomfortable.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang... after he went to court, he came directly to the imperial city.

The imperial city is divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is the imperial palace, and the outside is more for defense, but there are exceptions.

To the north of the imperial city is where Cao Guogong Li Zhen lives. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law. He is capable but not greedy for merit, and he is also loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the defense of the palace to Li Zhen to manage it.

Don't think that Li Zhen is a country man who doesn't know anything about war. When he was conquering the world, Li Zhen was mainly responsible for logistics and ensuring that logistics could meet the needs of the soldiers. In this life, with Zhu Han, Li Zhen has no chance to go to the battlefield. , but Zhu Han knew that when Li Zhen was in Hangzhou, he turned Zhang Shicheng away.

It's just that Li Zhen doesn't strive for fame and wealth, and is very self-aware. If he had left a few years later, Li Jinglong would not have become the first Ming God of War.

Because of Zhu Han in this life, Li Zhen's ability was not too obvious, but Zhu Han knew his ability, and Li Zhen was loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law. Zhu Yuanzhang was also willing to arrange a place for him in the imperial city. place.

The place where Li Zhen lives in the imperial city is more like a house than a house. As for Cao Guogong's mansion... it has now become a gathering point for Li Jinglong and other young dandies. Li Zhen is too lazy to go back, so he takes care of him in the imperial city. One third of an acre.

On the north side of the imperial city, there is more than 300 acres of land set aside for Li Zhen. The main purpose here is to grow vegetables and fruits. It can also raise chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs. When Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to do, he is also willing to experience it in the farmland. Fan.

The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Zhu Han was greedy for the pig-killing dish, so he went to the imperial city to kill the pig early in the morning.

This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang heard about pig-killing vegetables, and he immediately became interested. He took Ma Xiuying to Li Zhen's vegetable garden. At this time, the pigs had been killed and bled, and the meat was being chopped with an axe.

Two large pots were set up next to them, and the water in them was already boiling. Zhu Han happily directed the little ones at home to chop and divide the meat. They were all very happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Ma Xiuying's hand and said happily: "See, this feels like home, and it feels like a new year."

"Um."

Ma Xiuying also liked this hot New Year flavor, but added: "It's just that Biao'er and Bao'er are missing, otherwise our family would be complete."

"Biao'er has to be busy with court affairs, and Bao'er has to promote rectification in the military. They are both busy."

Zhu Yuanzhang is usually a busy person, but now he has become a relaxed one. Otherwise, he would be busy during the New Year, and he would not be as leisurely as he is now: "Let them come back during dinner in the evening, let's play for a while first."

Zhu Han put the meat in the pot and cooked it, and then started stuffing the blood sausage. The surrounding cabbage was ready and waiting to be put into the pot.

Zhu Han is cooking this meal. Both large pots are cooking meat. When the meat is cooked, put the noodles and cabbage, cut into slices of pork and small pieces of ribs and put them into the pot together. It's actually very simple. A meal, just with everyone gathered together, looks very festive.

Zhu Han cut some ribs to make fried crispy pork, and Ma Xiuying immediately came to help. Ma Xiuying also made fried crispy pork and croquettes every year, and she was very good at making them.

Soon, the aroma filled the air, and Zhu Yuanzhang's younger sons looked directly at the pork pot, almost laughing.

Although Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and others were born before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they have lived since the founding of the Ming Dynasty as long as they can remember. Their lives are basically about clothing, food and food. They don’t have to worry too much about food, and they don’t even go to school. After passing the kitchen, it was the first time for them to see a big pot of rice.

When Zhu Yuanzhang smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but come over. Looking at the children who were reaching their necks waiting to be fed, Zhu Yuanzhang patted each of them on the head: "Look at how you all look like? We are still hungry in the palace. Is it okay to follow you?"

Zhu Xi is a silly and bold person. He and Zhu Di often enjoy the education of Zhu Yuanzhang's soles. They have been beaten hard. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, it tastes really good. I have grown up and I have never seen anyone else cook. It smells so good~ "

At this moment, Zhu Ping wanted to be a cook.

Zhu Fan is different from Zhu Fang. He is a smarter and studious child. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's children, he is the one who likes to read the most. He was a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhu Han cooking.

Isn’t it said that a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen?

Why does Zhu Han, as His Royal Highness the King of England, want to cook?

Zhu Di was different. He saw Zhu Han cooking and shouted that he could do it and wanted to participate, but was kicked aside by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just kidding, Zhu Di is not ready to cook yet.

After kicking Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately scolded the second, third, fourth and fifth children: "You boys have never suffered since you were born. We will throw you to your hometown in the spring next year and give you all a taste." What does it mean to hoe at noon?"

"Um?"

Zhu Fan's eyes lit up.

Dad, if you want to say this, then I won’t be sleepy anymore.

"Okay! When a man is alive, he should have this kind of experience!"

Zhu Fan swore that he could cultivate good land. Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused and asked him to go to the countryside to experience farm work. Why was this kid so excited?

We have to find a more miserable place later and let them suffer!

"Time to eat!"

Zhu Han shouted and pointed at the bowl next to him with a big rice spoon: "Bring the bowl over and I'll make some food for you!"

Zhu Di and others were waiting nearby, knocking on bowls, and Ma Xiuying wanted to scold them when they saw it.

Knocking on the rice bowl, isn’t this a beggar?

How could a child of a dignified emperor do such a thing?

Ma Xiuying was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sister, today is the New Year, and the children are rarely happy. Don't reprimand them. Look at how well the fourth child knocks the bowl, does he have the same style as we did back then?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, how could Ma Xiuying not guess Zhu Yuanzhang's little thoughts? She couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "What are you doing? Are you still thinking about letting your son beg for food?"

"Why not?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and whispered to Ma Xiuying: "They can't always be superior. They have to understand some of the sufferings in the world. Otherwise, how can they help us manage the huge Ming Dynasty?"

"I'm too lazy to care about you!"

Ma Xiuying stopped talking to Zhu Yuanzhang. She also knew that no matter what she said, she could not change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. He had already thought about how to let the children exercise. Who could change the decision that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made?

In fact, pig-killing vegetables are not a good dish, but this kind of feeling and atmosphere are not experienced by children living in the imperial city. The smoke of fireworks permeates the imperial city, and the emperor, princes, princes and family members gather together. Feeling the influence of fireworks, this atmosphere makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate two bowls of pig-killing vegetables and a mouthful of oil. Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the people around him, Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite moved.

Since moving into the palace, how long has it been since everyone laughed like this?

Although everyone was poor and often fought in the past, during the Chinese New Year, we could gather together to have a New Year's Eve dinner. If there were one or two meat dishes, how bright would the smiles on everyone's faces be? Just like now!

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and said directly: "This year's New Year, my family is not busy, let's prepare the New Year's goods together! Let's go out and buy the things that the palace needs for the New Year!"

Just in time to go out and experience the atmosphere of the folk New Year.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately aroused everyone's approval and applause, especially the children Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di, who even screamed and raised their hands in support.

It's not important to celebrate the New Year or anything, the key is to be able to go out of the palace to play.

"good!"

"Long live my father!"

Listening to the roaring cheers and cheers in the imperial city, Zhu Biao's face darkened suddenly as he walked over just now.

You guys are having a great time during the New Year, so you just forgot about me when you co-wrote it, right?

My father is so unreliable. Does he still know that he is the emperor?
