Heavy snow is coming.

The entire north is shrouded in this continuous snow.

Wang Zhi is a villager in Yaojia Village next to the capital. Recently, it was snowing heavily, and Yaojia Village had entered hibernation mode, but Wang Zhi, who could not sit still, wanted to find some work.

He was about to enter the city before dawn.

The sky is weird blue, and there are not a single star, but the snow on the ground still reflects it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes and tried not to see the snowy areas.

The day before yesterday, a fool in the village looked at the snow too much, and then became "blind". The old man in the village warned them not to stare at the snow for a long time.

This is the official road. Since the beginning of heavy snow, the government has recruited many people to clean up with wages, so there is only a thin layer of snow.

Wang Zhi stomped his feet, felt the firmness of the soles made of three layers of cowhide, and then he heard the sound of horse hooves.

The sound of horse hooves was slow, but they were listening in a dense manner. Wang Zhi quickly stood by the roadside, lowered his head and waited for the team to pass.

There is a large inn there. In the past, many officials and envoys from the foreign vassals who came to Beijing to meet the saints would rest at that inn and take a bath and change clothes the next day to enter the city.

Where is the official?

It is impossible for foreign vassal envoys, because those envoys also followed Xing and Bo Fangxing in Jinling.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and Wang Zhi buried his head lower.

The sound of horse hooves was clear, and then stopped in front of him.

Wang Zhi was a little nervous, but he didn't dare to look up.

His feet alternately stomped on the ground, as if this could keep the danger away.

"But the villagers next to you?"

Someone suddenly asked, and the nervous Wang Zhiru raised his head with relief and said, "Yes, the youngest one is from Yaojia Village."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also saw these people clearly.

More than a hundred riders stopped quietly on the official road. A man had already dismounted and was slowly walking over.

"Can there be any contributions here?"

The cleanup in the north was already over, so the man's question relaxed Wang Zhi. He judged that this person had been an official in the south for a long time and was not clear about the matter in the north.

"If you want to go back to the adults, there is no one in Yaojia Village. There is Puxia Village next to it, and it was later cleaned up..."

Wang Zhi's speech was clear and he didn't have the stuttering panic in his speech, which made the man very satisfied.

"What about the life of the original donors in Puxia Village after cleaning up?"

Wang Zhi said: "Sir, they complained a little, saying that it was a small advantage and the court would take it away, which shows that..."

His eyes flashed, and the man smiled and said, "Since it was a roadside question, I will naturally forget it later. Moreover, this is not a big deal. If someone else had thought so."

As he said that, someone came over behind the man, holding a string of copper coins in his hand.

Wang Zhi's heart thumped and he quickly said, "Sir, those people have said a lot of ruthless words."

"The words of the village man are not enough to convict."

Wang Zhi turned aside when he heard this and talked a lot about those people.

"... They took back the land and re-built the land deed. They lived a good life, but... they felt that they were a little worse than before, and they had less money in their hands."

The man nodded and said, "Thank you for your words, say goodbye."

Someone handed over the copper coins, and Wang Shi couldn't help but reach out to take it, and then he remembered to avenge him.

"Let's go home!"

The man who had asked before got on the horse and shouted, the cavalry cheered and then rode away.

Wang Shi looked at the copper coins in his hand, thought for a while, but finally gave up his plan to go to the city to find a job and went home happily.

go home.

Home in winter is the most nostalgic, whether it is warm or cold.

The smoke in Fangjiazhuang was particularly eye-catching against the white background.

Fang Wu brought two servants and several carriages behind him into Fangjiazhuang.

Early in the morning, most of the people on the shop had not yet got up, and in the vast white area, Fang Wu shouted: "It's us who are back."

Then a person came from afar, but he was a servant.

"Fifth Brother!"

"Where is the master?"

"The master went outside the city to wait for the door to open, and then went to the palace to meet His Majesty."

Fang Wu could no longer help but miss his wife and children, and kept looking at the main house.

He entered the main house, but could not go home immediately.

Later, a maid came out, and Fang Wu roughly told Fang Xing about his whereabouts and merits and demerits, and then went to his yard.

"...Fang Wu said that the master won the naval battle and the cleanup of Jinling was also smooth. The overall situation has been stabilized, so the master came back."

The maid was reposting Fang Wu's words, but she didn't see Zhang Shuhui's lips slightly raised, and Xiaobai was already smiling happily.

Zhang Shuhui sat on the chair, Wuyou lay on her lap. After hearing this, she said happily: "Mom, I want to pick up my dad home!"

Zhang Shuhui said angrily: "How old is your father? I still have to pick you up."

"What you want! Mother..."

...

"Your Majesty, Xing and Bo return to Beijing to ask for your meeting."

Zhu Zhanji had just had breakfast when someone came to report to Fang Xing’s return to Beijing.

He took a sip of tea and slowly felt the faint bitterness of the tea.

The eunuch who came to report had never encountered such a situation before, so he asked for help and looked at Yu Jia.

Zhu Zhanji swallowed the tea and said, "Go to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, and invite Xing and Bo to go."

...

Fang Xing entered the hall. After seeing him, Zhu Zhanji saw that his skin was dark and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Xing and Bo."

After some greetings, Fang Xing reported on the two major affairs of this trip.

"... The Thais fled in a hurry, and the navy followed the situation and killed them. In the end, when only more than thirty ships were left, it was getting dark. I thought to keep some people back and report the news, so as not to tell Tashi that there were some monsters and monsters overseas in the future, and hundreds of their warships disappeared for no reason."

Fang Xing said seriously: "I think demons and ghosts are not scary. What is scary is that the Ming Navy can make any enemy frightened!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "If you stay all of them, the Thais will be suspicious and will come out to look for them again, so it is better to keep some people back. This is also a warning. If you don't know the qualities in the future, don't blame Daming for not saying anything!"

"good!"

The messenger who reported the victory and Fang Xing and others' memorials were not as exciting as Fang Xinggang said. The ministers couldn't help but look slightly red and were excited.

Fang Xing said: "After this war, Taixi must not dare to peek at the Ming Dynasty within a few years. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty concentrate on internal affairs."

Zhu Zhanji said: "I said before the navy went to sea that if there was a battle, this battle would definitely be the Ming Dynasty's battle to fight provocations at sea. After this battle, the Ming Dynasty's sea was Wuyou, so it went to a great enemy in one direction, which is gratifying."

The ministers bowed and said, "I am congratulating you for the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty!"

Zhu Zhanji stood on top with his hands behind his back and smiled: "The Taisie people are ambitious, and Halie's meat fans are also watching, so a great enemy was eliminated in this battle, and the rest... I will naturally deal with it as appropriate."

His eyes were sharp, reminding people of Emperor Wen.

Yang Rong suddenly had an idea, the emperor wouldn't want to learn literature from the emperor, right?

He felt nervous and went out to work and said, "Your Majesty, the flesh is far away. The generals of Halie's defeated army are not worthy of courage. I think they are not a threat from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji said: "Times change, and I will not be able to gain military power."

The ministers sang praises again, and Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "The Ming Dynasty is under the pressure of the world at this moment, but the ministers must not slack off, and they must remember the stories of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Yang Rong sighed in his heart, knowing that the emperor was still a little unhappy.

Jin Youzi took the lead and said, "Your Majesty is humble, this is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Pu also came out and said, "Tang Taizong accepted advice like a stream, and finally became a prosperous era. Your Majesty, the current Ming Dynasty is as powerful as a rainbow and the country is strong. This is a prosperous era!"
