When the conch horn is blown, it means that the most powerful family in the Ming Dynasty will give up everything in Nanjing, hide in remote Beijing, and take root in Beijing.
The moment the treasure ship left the dock, a carriage and two horses suddenly emerged from the city gate.
A big fat man got out of the carriage, and a heroic young man and a slightly sinister boy were riding on the horse.
The fat man is Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Needless to say, the heroic young man is Zhu Gaoxu. The youngest young man is Zhu Gaojiu, who has just taken over the entire Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
The three of them looked at the treasure ship gradually moving away with different expressions.
It was hard to tell what he was thinking on Zhu Gaochi's nodding face, and there was a hint of relief in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes.
Zhu Gaosui looked thoughtful.
After a while, Zhu Gaosui suddenly looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said with a smile: "Second brother, I never expected that this guy Chen Kan is really determined to give up everything."
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said calmly: "Everyone has his own choice. Since he doesn't want to wade into this muddy water, it's okay to leave for a while. There must be a witness to our quarrels back then."
Zhu Gaochi said nothing, just looked at the two of them deeply.
Chen Kan on the boat naturally saw the three people who came to see him off. In the two years since he came to Ming Dynasty, Chen Kan has never had many friends.
Perhaps he rose so quickly that even the old foxes above the Ming Dynasty treated him as a person of the same level.
Few people who deal with him will remember that he is not an old fox at all, just a young man in his early twenties.
In addition to these three brothers and sisters who met Chen Kan before he traveled through time, if we really want to talk about friends, maybe Li Tong from the Imperial College can be considered half of them.
Zhu Zhanji, Hua Shi, and Zhu Zhanhe also ran to the deck at some point and were waving to the three of them.
Chen Kan calmly stopped looking at the three of them, pointed at Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe, then turned around and put his hands behind his head and walked towards his room.
Looking at Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe holding hands on the deck, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he said calmly: "It's okay, the grievances of the previous generation are the grievances of the previous generation. After all, the blood of the next generation is thicker than Brothers of water.”
Zhu Gaochi sat on the shaft of the car and said calmly: "Second brother, you are obsessed with me. We are brothers and we have never had any grudges."
Zhu Gaoxu frowned, turned to look at Zhu Gaochi, and snorted coldly: "Boss, I hope you will always be so hypocritical."
"According to what you say, should I give birth to a child as soon as possible and let Chen Kan teach me?"
As soon as Zhu Gaosui said this, he saw two pairs of angry eyes staring at him at the same time.
Zhu Gaosui was so frightened by the looks in their eyes that he shrank and said, "I know I don't have a share in the throne, and I don't want to compete with you."
"snort!"
Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly and took the lead to ride away.
Zhu Gaochi took a deep look at Zhu Gaosui, an imperceptible flash of gloom in his eyes, and then got on the carriage without saying a word.
Watching the two of them walk away, Zhu Gaosui's eyes suddenly flickered a few times, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Fight, fight, I will wait for the Xuanwu Sect incident to happen again."
After muttering to himself, Zhu Gaosui raised his head, looked at the treasure ship that had turned into a small dot, and murmured: "Chen Kan, Chen Kan, are you Changsun Wuji or Li Shiji?"
...
"Looking back, the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains!"
This is the tenth day after the treasure ship sailed into the canal, and a bored Chen Kan was dancing with his sword.
"Kill one person in ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles..."
While clumsily dancing the long sword in his hand, he recited Li Taibai's masterpieces, and finally received complimentary applause. This was Chen Kan's daily routine these days.
Ten days after leaving the capital, Chen Kan's treasure ship had crossed the Huaihe River and officially sailed to the northern section of the canal.
This canal is different from the canal leading to Kaifeng and the Yellow River. That canal was called the Sui-Tang Grand Canal in later history books. It was built by Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, by connecting several self-built canals since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After the Tang Dynasty, due to the overcrowding of the population in the Guanzhong Plain, fertile farmland was greatly reduced. The grain produced in the Guanzhong area alone was no longer enough to feed the population of Guanzhong, so it was dredged again to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to Guanzhong for use.
The canal that Chen Kan and others are now walking on will be called the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in later generations.
It was built in the Yuan Dynasty in order to gather the wealth of Jiangnan.
The capital of the Yuan Dynasty was Beiping in Hongwu and Beijing in Yongle.
This canal has historically shouldered the important task of feeding millions of people throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, from Yongle to Chongzhen for more than two hundred years.
At the same time, interest groups that were unheard of before the Ming and Qing Dynasties also emerged.
Of course, now that Chen Kan is here, there is no need for the trough gang to be born.
The cost of transporting food by sea is low, and the food that sea ships can transport is far beyond that of ships on canals.
However, it is still necessary to preserve this economic artery that connects the north and the south. It is excellent for transporting people and developing it as a historical site.
As for the Japanese pirates who occasionally harassed the Ming Dynasty's waters, the day Zheng He's fleet went to sea would be their end.
Not to mention that Zheng He had proved the existence of Yinshan in Japan.
With Zhu Di's personality, as long as the time comes, Japan will become a province of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later.
All these things add up to form the motivation for Chen Kan to dance his sword.
There was nothing he could do, Chen Kan was too happy.
The farther away he is from the capital, the more likely it is that the things he planted in the capital will grow into towering trees.
And when he returns or Zhu Di moves the capital, people will discover the fact that Chen Kan has grown into a behemoth that they cannot reach.
"When it's over, go away and hide in your name..."
Sheathing the sword, reciting poetry, all in one go.
"Pa bang bang~"
Warm applause rang out, Chen Kan smiled reservedly, and casually threw the long sword weighing more than ten kilograms into the hands of four-year-old Zhu Zhanhe.
The weight of the sword pressed down, causing Zhu Zhanhe to stumble instantly.
No one dares not to give Chen Kan face, even if his sword dance is no different than shit.
This is the added value that a person's status can bring to him.
Zhu Yuelan smiled and used a towel to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on Chen Kan's forehead: "My husband just did that few times, and he couldn't do anything without any tricks. He was as graceful as a dragon."
"Okay, take it!"
Chen Kan usurped the fist in the air, and Zhu Yuelan immediately shut up.
Chen Kan took the towel from her hand and said with a smile: "This flattery needs outsiders to take pictures. No matter how nice my family members say it, it always feels like it is against their will."
After saying that, Chen Kan looked at Zhu Zhanji who didn't applaud after he finished the sword dance and grinned: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, what do you think?"
Being stared at by Chen Kan with malicious eyes, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but tremble all over, turned around and wanted to run away.
But how could Chen Kan let him have his wish? He only had to reach out slightly to grab his collar, and he would have nowhere to escape.
"Your homework today is to find a hundred words to praise me. If you fail to complete it, you know the consequences."
The mean tone combined with Chen Kan's malicious smile immediately made Zhu Zhanji's face fall.
He said with a mournful face: "Second Junior Brother and Brother He didn't applaud just now."
Chen Kan shrugged nonchalantly: "Xiaohe brought me the sword. As for when I was young, I was so tired from sword dancing that he wanted to beat my legs."
"Gulu."
Zhu Zhanji swallowed hard, turned around and said flatteringly: "Teacher, students can actually rub your shoulders."
"Oh well!"
Chen Kan reluctantly agreed to Zhu Zhanji's request.
He threw the towel to a passing maid, went to lie down on a lounge chair under a big umbrella, and took a pot of rice wine and took a big sip.
Looking at the flattering Zhu Zhanji, he scolded: "What are you waiting for?"
Forced by Chen Kan's power, Hua Shi and Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to massage Chen Kan's shoulders while one person beat his legs and the other squeezed his shoulders.
As for the little Zhu Zhanhe, he didn't dare to leave Chen Kan's sight at all. He could only stand in the bright sun holding a long sword as tall as two of him. After a while, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
But at this time, even Chang Ning, who usually loved them the most, would not come up to care about them.
Because these days, everyone has become accustomed to Chen Kan's unique education model.
After drinking a pot of rice wine, all the heat in my body disappeared.
Chen Kan closed his eyes and began to recite: "In the past, Zhou Gong asked Shang Gaoyi: 'I have heard that the great master is good at counting. I would like to ask the ancients to set up the Zhou Tian calendar. The sky cannot be climbed up by steps, and the impossible size can be obtained. Du, could you please tell me how to proceed?"
Zhu Zhanji immediately responded: "Shang Gao said: 'The method of numbering comes from the circle, the circle comes from the square, the square comes from the moment, the moment comes from the ninety-nine and eighty-one, so the bending of the moment is considered to be the hook of three, and the strands are repaired. Four, path and corner five.'"
Chen Kan nodded, then looked at Hua Shi, who quickly said: "In any right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the two right-angled sides must be equal to the square of the hypotenuse."
After saying that, the three of them looked at Zhu Zhanhe who was holding a long sword.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Zhu Zhanhe's face, and then he said with a shy face, "Teacher, senior brother, second senior brother, I forgot again."
Hearing this, the three of them rolled their eyes at the same time.
Chen Kan raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Zhanji behind him: "Since your junior brother still can't remember the Pythagorean Theorem, you should be responsible for teaching him today."
Zhu Zhanji's little face suddenly showed an expression of hatred for steel. He walked to Zhu Zhanhe, took the long sword in his hand and hung it on the umbrella stand. He took his little hand and walked towards the room.
Chen Kan nuzzled at Hua Shi again: "I think your little brother may have forgotten Jiujiu Ge. Go and help him recall it."
Hearing this, Hua Shi stood up and saluted and said, "Yes, disciple, go now."
"Go!"
Chen Kan waved his hand and watched the three little kids go away, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After these days of teaching, he found that Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi were obviously much smarter than Zhu Zhanhe, and they could understand many of the knowledge he taught once they learned it.
Zhu Zhanhe didn't know whether it was because he was too young, or he was really not as smart as the two of them. He couldn't learn many simple knowledge no matter how hard he learned it.
After a while, Chen Kan rubbed his chin and murmured to himself: "Do you want to use that move?"
