Before the change of the post station into postal service was carried out, the Annan envoy who came along the post station arrived in the capital.
As for the Annan envoy, Zhu Yunwen was not interested in receiving it, and only left full power to the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites.
In Zhu Yunwen's view, Annan was still there only because it was not time. Whether these envoys came to explain the situation or to cede territory and ask for mercy had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
That piece of land will definitely belong to Ming Dynasty, and this result cannot be changed.
The Second Artillery Bureau, on the other hand, finally got the Annan Shencan cannon that it had longed for. After being replaced with granular gunpowder, its effective range exceeded 600 steps, which made the Second Artillery Bureau extremely excited.
Studying the reasons and imitating them has become the most urgent task of the Second Artillery Bureau.
Zhu Yunwen personally saw off Zhu Di and handed over 50,000 elite soldiers. Zhu Di led his troops to leave the capital and go straight to many coastal areas.
The naval fleet entered the sea on a large scale. Zheng He, Li Jian, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and others were chasing the Japanese pirates at sea day and night. Suddenly, the waves were so rough that countless Japanese pirates could only retreat wailing, away from the waters of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army did not believe in pursuing poor Japanese pirates, but believed in beating drowned dogs. All Japanese pirates within sight, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, without exception, would hide in the sea.
Yi Shaozong's name has also become a symbol, inspiring countless soldiers.
Zhu Yunwen walked around Nanjing with Security Bureau Commander Shi Gu Sanshen, buying small items from time to time and asking merchants how their business was going.
The crackling sound of firecrackers came out, attracting Zhu Yunwen's eyes.
Following the flow of people, not far away I saw an impressive restaurant, about four feet high and divided into three floors. The door is built with bamboo poles and surrounded by colorful silk. This is the so-called "Colorful Door".
"Your Majesty, this is Piaomiao Pavilion. It has no background on the surface, but its real owner is Cao Guogong's Mansion."
Gu Sanshen whispered.
Zhu Yunwen smiled calmly and said: "It seems that Li Jinglong still has some capital. Since everyone is here, let's go in and sit down."
The word "Piaomiao" can be understood at the beginning.
The lingering fragrant mist rises from the ground like soaring clouds. It seems to be a fairyland while lingering. Looking up, there are flying bridge railings high up, which communicate light and dark. Some rooms have bead curtains embroidered on their foreheads, swaying with amorous feelings.
A graceful young woman had already come forward to greet him, and with just a blink of an eye, she led Zhu Yunwen towards the second floor.
"Sir, would you like some tea or some strong wine?"
The woman Yingying asked.
Zhu Yunwen stood upstairs, looking at the pedestrians on the street, shaking his head slightly and saying, "Take us to the third floor."
The woman was slightly surprised, then smiled and said: "What a coincidence, the third floor is not welcoming guests today. Guests who want to go to the third floor will have to wait for two days."
Zhu Yunwen raised his brows and looked towards the stairs not far away. He saw a woman leading people upstairs with a smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't they guests?"
The woman looked back and looked at Zhu Yunwen again.
Those who could enter the third floor were either important officials of the imperial court or wealthy businessmen in the capital.
As for the young man in front of him, although he seems to be somewhat elegant and well-dressed, he does not look like a prince or nobleman. As for the wealthy businessman, he can't even afford a jade pendant. How much money can he have...
"They are guests with invitations." The woman smiled, asked Zhu Yunwen to sit down, and said: "The scenery here is also pretty good, you might as well..."
"Invitation?"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Gu Sanshen and then walked towards the stairs. The woman quickly wanted to stop him, but Gu Sanshen raised his hand to stop him and warned: "Our master wants to go there."
It's a place, no invitations are needed yet. "
The woman was shocked by Gu Sanshen's momentum. When she realized what she was doing, Zhu Yunwen and Gu Sanshen were already on the third floor.
It's much cleaner here, and there aren't many people in the hall. Most people have gone into the private rooms nearby.
"Little girl Su Xiu, please present the invitations to the two adults."
An attractive woman in her thirties came over with a scent.
Zhu Yunwen just smiled calmly and said: "I am also a rich man, but my ancestral home is not in the capital. When I came to the capital today, I happened to see this restaurant open. I heard that there was fine wine at the table. I came uninvited. Why, do you have to chase away guests without an invitation? ? If this is the case... Duke Cao Guo may not be happy..."
As soon as these words came out, Su Xiu's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Not many people know the true owner of Piaomiao Tower, but the person in front of me actually said it directly and was extremely confident.
Zhu Yunwen walked away, looked at the direction, pointed to a room in front, and said: "I want this wing room and serve a table of food and drinks."
Without waiting for Su Xiu to object, Zhu Yunwen walked straight in.
The wing room is very large, with three small rooms, separated by landscape screens. One is a dining area, one is a piano art area, and one is a sleeping area.
Zhu Yunwen admired the decoration in the room, including ancient ceramic paintings, gorgeous flowers on the guqin, and even the floor was covered with a cashmere blanket. This blanket was woven by the harem. The entire cashmere blanket would probably cost no less than a thousand taels.
"Where did Li Jinglong get so much money?"
Zhu Yunwen was secretly surprised.
If configured in this way, the cost of a wing is at least two thousand taels, and there are thirty-six such wing rooms on the third floor. The cost of the third floor alone is at least seventy thousand taels.
This does not take into account the second floor and the first floor, nor does it take into account the other costs of Piao Miao Pavilion. If taken into account, it would be impossible to build it without a hundred thousand taels of silver.
"After we go back, order the Security Bureau to check the accounts of Cao Guogong's mansion. I want to know where he got such a huge sum of money!"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were sharp.
Although Li Jinglong is the Duke of the country, he is not so rich. Even if he is rich, he will not spend so much just for a restaurant.
"What do you see?"
Zhu Yunwen sat down and asked Gu Sanshen, who was looking around.
"extravagant."
Gu Sanshen replied.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, it was indeed extravagant!
This is the "sequelae" of his indulgence in business development, but what Zhu Yunwen needs is business prosperity, not official corruption, and does not want officials to eat and drink.
Commercial development and official enjoyment are two issues, but there are also some relationships between them.
Zhu Yunwen knew that it was time to promulgate some policies and rectify the atmosphere.
Food and drinks have arrived.
After Gu Sansheng tasted it, Zhu Yunwen tasted it and praised: "I have to say, this cook has some skills."
boom.
A dull sound came from the wall, accompanied by a faint shout.
Zhu Yunwen picked up the wine glass and walked towards the wall. He clasped the wine glass on the wall. He listened carefully and could only vaguely hear the woman's crying and calling. He frowned and walked out of the box. He opened the door of the box next door and walked out. Got in.
"Please, I'm just a busker."
"Busting, that's right, you can also do it naked."
"Ha ha."
The whole room burst into laughter, full of lust.
A fat man stretched out his greasy hands and pointed at
The woman who was huddled in the corner stretched out her hand, rubbed it hard twice, and shouted: "It's your honor to let you serve the grandpas. I'm so happy. The reward is enough for you to last a lifetime. Dare to resist, haha." , you can only lie down for the rest of your life."
"Xiaohan, just become an official. These people are either officials or people from wealthy families. If they fall in love with you, they will probably marry you back and become a concubine, which is better than being a wandering singer."
A graceful woman with semi-translucent breasts advised him from the side.
"I have a crush on someone, and I won't obey even to death..."
"The person you love has abandoned you a long time ago, and you still miss him."
"Will not!"
"Oh, how long has it been since he came to see you? Let me tell you, your lover has left the capital a long time ago and was demoted to Shanxi by the emperor. He will never come back to you in this life."
"Look, Wang Yuanwailang is right, just give up."
The woman continued to persuade. Seeing that the woman named Xiaohan was heartbroken, she winked at Wang Du. The flesh at the corner of Wang Du's mouth trembled, and he wanted to step forward to hug Xiaohan, but he suddenly let out a scream.
"Pah! You actually bit me!" Wang Du took two steps back, looked at the blood marks on his hands, and couldn't help shouting bitterly: "I will not be a human being until I punish you today!"
After saying that, he ruthlessly grabbed Xiaohan's hair, lifted it up directly, dragged it to the bed beside him, and began to tear the woman's clothes.
"Come on, come on, let's keep drinking."
Everyone ignored the commotion inside and sat back, suddenly becoming noisy. One person looked around and murmured in confusion: "Why is the wine bottle missing?"
In the room, the woman's resistance became weaker and weaker, and she wore less and less clothes. Wang Du's face began to sweat. As soon as he stood up and took off his shirt, he felt something. He suddenly looked back and was startled. He sat down. On the bed, he stared blankly at the person in front of him and asked: "You, who are you?"
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
Zhu Yunwen raised his wine glass and said softly: "This gentleman is very handsome in bed. You continue, I'm just here to observe and learn."
Wang Du pointed to the door and shouted: "Get out of here!"
"You want me to get out?"
Zhu Yunwen drank all the wine in one gulp, picked up the jug and walked towards Wang Du. With a grin, he hit Wang Du on the head with the jug. With a bang, the wine in the jug spilled out and the whole jug became flat. A lot.
The sudden change made Wang Du confused. He didn't know what happened. He only felt a sudden pain in his head and a thick liquid flowed onto his face.
"ah……"
Wang Du screamed, and before he could fight back, a wooden stool fell on his head.
Click!
The stool broke at the sound!
"What a broken stool, it's not strong at all!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Wang Du who was swaying and kneeling on the ground, walked to the side, picked up the vase, and smashed it on Wang Du's head. With a bang, Wang Du fell completely to the ground.
Other people in the room also heard the noise and ran over one after another. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but become frightened. Some of the timid people even wanted to escape.
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Zhu Yunwen shouted sharply.
Gu Sanshen unsheathed his sword, cut the screen in half, and stared at everyone with his sharp eyes.
For a moment, no one dared to make a move.
"Do you know that men who bully women are the most useless men? Men who use force on women are not even worthy of being men! If I don't physically castrate you today, I won't leave!"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes turned red and he kicked him hard again.
