Chapter 378 New Year's Eve(1/2)
Chapter 378 New Year
Author: Mose Jiangnan
Although Zhu Yuanzhang established the system of Ming Dynasty as his mother country and China as his auxiliary country, he did not issue this news in the form of a government order for a day, so Zhu Yuanzhang was the shadow on the heads of all the court officials.
This is why the court officials wanted to urge Zhu Yuanzhang to go to court as soon as possible.
The court officials knew that Zhu Han proposed the reform of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's courage, he would never have thought that since it was something Zhu Han mentioned, Zhu Yuanzhang would handle it quickly and quickly.
However, this time the court officials made a mistake. Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry, but accelerated the construction of the Ministry of Supervision and the arrest department. At the beginning of the establishment of the Ministry of Supervision, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to let the Ministry of Supervision go to the prefecture to review and verify the accounts of each prefecture.
Zhu Yuanzhang: Are you afraid of me? Then be worried for a while.
When doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang never showed up, and Zhu Biao was still responsible for the operation of the court. He invested all the money in Qiongzhou, which made many people realize that Qiongzhou would become the next hot land.
Then what are you waiting for?
Invest!
Nowadays, the rural complex of the Ming Dynasty is still very strong, but some people have begun to go out and start to run around for their livelihood.
To put it bluntly, it is to make money.
The four major industries of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have gradually become equal. 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 asked someone to wear them and tried them on them. Zhao Min immediately asked the tailor to measure the size of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, and customized several styles for the two of them overnight. Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite was a white shirt and a black jacket.
This kind of clothing that originally came from the West turned into a Ming suit.
The only shame is that there are no leather shoes. If there are leather shoes, Zhu Yuanzhang looks more like a big shot when wearing them.
The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year.
Grand court meeting.
All civil and military officials gathered together.
The last dynasty meeting has already been mentioned. Zhu Yuanzhang will attend the dynasty meeting on the Xiaonian day, and the court officials have begun to make careful preparations.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so there are some bad things. Otherwise, with Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, no one can live a good year this year, so it's okay to say some happy events. After all, the Ming Dynasty is developing very well now, and it's reasonable to just talk about happy events.
However, the way Zhu Yuanzhang appeared was a bit special.
There is no so-called dragon robe, it is just a very ordinary Ming suit, but it really attracts everyone's attention.
Oh my god, what kind of clothes did Zhu Yuanzhang wear?
Why does it look ordinary but it looks so good?
"What, do you think our clothes look good?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up proudly and walked around the hall so that the ministers could see clearly. Then he said flauntly: "This is the clothing designed by our sister-in-law in the clothing factory opened by Yingtian. It is called the new Ming Dynasty clothing. Our Ming Dynasty is reforming and creating a different prosperous era. Since we need to change it, we might as well change it thoroughly and the clothing has also been changed... We have decided that this new Ming Dynasty clothing will be the formal work clothes in our court in the future. There will be tailors outside. Then measure your waist and make your clothes before the New Year."
This... can we wear it too?
The court officials were extremely excited. They never expected that they could wear the same clothes as Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What can't be worn? We are emperors and humans. Even the clothes we used to have the same, but the colors are different and the patterns on them are different, so we wear them all!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see the court officials' surprise and said with a smile: "It's just clothes, how can there be a distinction between high and low? Just look good when worn on them, then... These newly designed clothes are designed by the King of England. Do you think the King of England has a good vision?"
OK!
That's really OK!
When the court officials saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had all wore new Ming suits, they immediately realized that this suit would be popular. Everyone gathered some money to imitate a batch, and they would definitely make a lot of money. But Zhu Yuanzhang said that the clothes were designed by Zhu Han, so he could not do anything anymore.
What a joke, 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, what's wrong with making some money?
If you can’t make money by imitating clothes, then invest it. Everyone can get a share of the money they earn, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the table and said to everyone: "We think this set of clothes is very reasonable and has a great demand for our body and waist circumference. Therefore, in the future, except for special conditions in the body, we must follow the requirements! Mr. Li, come back and take a rule and system to let them strictly maintain their figure and waist circumference according to the system."
Li Shanchang didn't change his expression when he heard it: "Yes."
“…”
The court officials were a little anxious when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
We went to a broken class and "enjoyed" the pressure Zhu Yuanzhang brought to them. Do you actually have requirements for our figure?
This broken class...it's better if you don't attend!
However, this is just thinking about it in my heart. They are reluctant to leave their positions in the court. After all, the court leads them to invest, and this benefit cannot be experienced elsewhere.
"Okay, nothing is wrong, we won't bother everyone."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said to the court officials: "If you have anything to do before the New Year, you will have a holiday when you are 27 years old."
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, and saw that the court officials were all holding back and not talking, he felt very happy and happily clocked in and got off work.
When the court officials saw Zhu Yuanzhang leaving happily, they felt so uncomfortable... If you have something to do, do you mean it. Is it interesting to always hold us like this? You are happy to see us feeling uncomfortable, right?
What the court officials wanted to hear the most was that Zhu Yuanzhang told the story of restructuring the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yuanzhang just said that it made the court officials feel uncomfortable.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang... after he came to the imperial city, he went straight 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 plays a defensive role, 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 is also loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the defense of the palace to Li Zhen to manage.
Don’t think that Li Zhen is a rural villager and doesn’t know any war. When he was conquering the world, Li Zhen was mainly responsible for logistics and ensured that logistics could meet the needs of the soldiers. With Zhu Han in this life, Li Zhen had no chance to go to the battlefield, but Zhu Han knew that Li Zhen was in Hangzhou back then, but he turned him away.
It’s just that Li Zhen does not compete for fame and fortune, and is very self-aware. If he had left a few years later, Li Jinglong would not have become the first Ming Dynasty god of war.
In this life, Li Zhen's ability was not too obvious, but Zhu Han knew his ability. Moreover, Li Zhen was loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and was Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, so Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to arrange a place for him in the imperial city.
The place where Li Zhen lives in the imperial city is more like a house than a house. As for Duke Cao's mansion... it has now become a gathering place for Li Jinglong and other young playboys. Li Zhen is too lazy to go back, so he takes care of one acre of three-point land in the imperial city.
On the north side of the imperial city, there are more than 300 acres of land that were divided into Li Zhen. Here, it mainly grows vegetables and fruits, and can also raise chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs. When Zhu Yuanzhang was fine, he was willing to go to the farmland to experience it.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Zhu Han is greedy for the pig-killing vegetable, so he ran to the imperial city to kill pigs early in the morning.
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang heard about pig-killing vegetables, and immediately became interested. He pulled Ma Xiuying to Li Zhen's vegetable garden. At this time, he had already killed pigs and bleeded them and was chopping meat with an axe.
Two large pots were set up next to it, and the water inside had already boiled. Zhu Han happily directed the little guys at home to chop and divide the meat, and they were all so happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang took Ma Xiuying's hand and said happily: "Did you see it? It's like a home, and it's a bit of the New Year atmosphere."
"Um."
Ma Xiuying also likes this hot New Year atmosphere, and just adds: "It's just that there is no Biao'er and Bao'er, otherwise our family will be together."
"Biao'er is busy with major affairs in the court, and Bao'er also wants to promote rectification in the military. They are both busy."
Zhu Yuanzhang was usually very busy, but now he became a relaxed person. Otherwise, he would be busy during the Chinese New Year, so he would not be as leisurely as he is now: "Let them come back when they have dinner in the evening, let's have some fun first."
Zhu Han put the meat in the pot and cooked it, and then started to fill the blood sausages. The cabbage around him was ready, so he just waited to put it in the pot.
Zhu Han was cooking this meal. Both big pots were cooking meat. After the meat was cooked, put a wide flour and cabbage, and put the sliced pork and small pieces of ribs into the pot. It was actually a very simple meal. It was just that everyone gathered together and looked very New Year-like.
Zhu Han cut some tenderloin and prepared to make fried crispy meat. Ma Xiuying immediately came up to help. Ma Xiuying also cooked fried crispy meat and fried croquettes every year, and she was very comfortable to make.
Soon, the fragrance filled the air, and Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest sons looked at the pork pot with their eyes fixed on each other, and their saliva was almost gone.
Although Zhu Ren, Zhu Di and others were born before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they all remembered that they had founded the founding of the Ming Dynasty. They basically had to wear clothes and eat, and they didn't have to worry too much about food, and they had never even been to the kitchen. This was the first time they saw the big pot of rice.
When Zhu Yuanzhang smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but come over. Looking at the children who were waiting to feed him while they were reaching their necks, Zhu Yuanzhang patted them on their heads: "Look at your appearance, why? Are you still hungry in the palace?"
Zhu Chuang is a silly and bold. He and Zhu Di often enjoyed the education of Zhu Yuanzhang's soles and were beaten to death. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, the taste is really fragrant. I have grown up so old that I have never seen anyone else cook. It's so fragrant~"
At this moment, Zhu Chuang wanted to be a chef.
Zhu Qi is different from Zhu Chuang. He is a smart and studious child. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's children, he likes to read the books the most. Seeing Zhu Han cooking was a little disgusting.
Didn’t it mean that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen?
Why does Zhu Han, as the dignified King of Kings, have to cook?
Zhu Di was different. When he saw Zhu Han cooking, he shouted that he could do it, and wanted to participate, he was kicked aside by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Just kidding, Zhu Di is not as good as the price yet, just make a big deal.
After kicking Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately scolded the second, third, fourth and fifth brothers and said, "You guys, you guys, have never suffered any hardships since you were born. We will throw you to our hometown at the beginning of next spring and give us some experience what it means to hoe the wheat at noon!"
"Um?"
Zhu Qi's eyes lit up.
Dad, if you say this, I will not be sleepy.
"Okay! When a man is alive, he should have this kind of experience!"
Zhu Qi promised to cultivate the land well. Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused when he saw it. He asked him to go to the countryside to experience farm work. Why is this kid so excited?
Let’s find a more difficult place to let them suffer!
"Eat for dinner!"
Zhu Han shouted, holding a big rice spoon, pointed at the bowls and chopsticks next to him: "Take the bowl by yourself, I'll get you food!"
Zhu Di and others were knocking on the bowl and waiting beside them. When Ma Xiuying saw it, she wanted to scold her.
