The official road from Beijing to Tianjin Port is already a cement road, and there is also a rail steam engine train for transportation.

This port is very lively, with many merchants coming and going, and ships from many countries come here to do business, or maybe go to the capital.

It is already the second largest trading port in the Ming Dynasty, and the largest trading port is naturally in Suzhou Prefecture.

Landing in Tianjin Port, Zhang Hao brought one hundred personal guards and five hundred Jiangnan Navy to the capital.

These five hundred Jiangnan Navy were preparing to go to the capital for the emperor's inspection. Each of them was carefully selected. After some special training, they had the appearance of Jiangnan Navy and could not be embarrassed.

When I came outside the capital, I saw a long welcome team, most of which were the people, which shocked Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen and others.

They didn't expect so many people to go out to greet them, and they didn't expect that the emperor would come to greet them with all the civil and military ministers.

While shocked, I felt that their man was much greater and stronger than they thought!

The people welcome it, the emperor trusts and attaches great importance to it, how many people have been able to do it throughout history?

"Sister Rushi, it's really incredible that His Majesty the Emperor went out of the city to greet him personally. We still underestimate the adults too much."

“Sir, I’m so great!”

"Yes, it is our blessing to be able to spend time with him!"

The three of them sat in the same carriage, and they were like sisters.

Zhu Youjian hugged Zhang Hao enthusiastically: "Sixth brother, you have finally come to the capital!"

Many civil and military ministers were confused by the sight!

The emperor actually hugged a minister and called him "Sixth Brother". Could it be that Zhang Hao was the emperor's brother and illegitimate son?

Let them have a lot of imagination.

"Zhang Hao, Sun Hao, we're meeting again!"

Li Shimin is also here. In the Tang Dynasty, he is the emperor, Zhang Hao is Sun Hao, and the two are still the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.

Although Zhang Hao looks different from Sun Hao in the Tang Dynasty, they are all Zhang Hao.

"Governor Zhang, meet again, your style is even better than before. Welcome to the capital."

Qin Liangyu greeted Zhang Hao, and she was transferred back to the capital shortly after.

Xu Guangqi, Yang Sichang, Sun Chengzong and others were also there.

Starting from thirty miles outside the city, but in the city and until outside the Zijing City, the people welcomed each other with gongs and drums.

"He is a murderer? No, it's Bao Qingtian!"

"It looks like I'm only in my twenties?"

"The emperor actually cared with Zhang Hao. What kind of treatment is this?"

"Who could have done this before, it was better than ten thousand people!"

"Look, those are naval forces, right? I heard that it was the Jiangnan Navy brought by Governor Zhang. It looks so brave. With such momentum, no wonder it defeated the Dutch fleet and wiped out the pirates and Japanese pirates on the wall, making them frightened!"

...

The people kept talking along the way.

Liu Rushi, Kou Baimen, and Chen Yuanyuan were frightened by this formation and carefully watched the situation outside from the carriage.

I found that the streets of Beijing were very new, especially the trees on both sides were very attractive.

In recent years, the capital has been undergoing new planning and construction, roads have been renovated, and trees have been planted on both sides. In addition, street lights are also available.

Although the power promotion in Beijing is limited, and there is no electricity in other places except the imperial city, street lights are already available. The street lights that are cool at night are a major landscape in Beijing. If there is no curfew, many people will definitely come out on the street at night.

Zhang Hao, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen and others entered the imperial city directly, and Zhu Youjian welcomed them.

Of course, it is not just about eating and drinking as soon as you go. Let Zhang Hao and the others temporarily settle in a courtyard in the palace and rest for some time. Only the evening is the reception banquet.

"This is the palace! I didn't expect that I could enter the palace!"

Liu Rushi and the others were surprised to be able to enter the palace.

What surprised them even more was that Zhu Youjian asked the queen to specially entertain the three of them and take them to visit the various parts of the palace. They were flattered.

Empress Zhou treated each other enthusiastically, which was specially explained by Zhu Youjian.

Now Empress Zhou already knows that the emperor and Zhang Hao are brothers. She knows that the emperor attaches great importance to Zhang Hao, and she must also pay attention to Zhang Hao's women. Even if Zhang Hao's woman had a bad status before, she must respect and entertain warmly.

When Empress Zhou was surprised to see Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Kou Baimen and others, because they were all more beautiful than her. Apart from their status, they might not be as good as Liu Rushi and others in other talents.

"Your Majesty calls Governor Zhang the sixth brother. You are my sisters. There is no need to be restrained. I will take you around the palace to look around."

Queen Zhou was very enthusiastic.

Of course, Liu Rushi and the others knew that the queen must know their previous identities. Now she is so enthusiastic and respectful, it is all brought to them by Zhang Hao.

When visiting the palace, the knowledgeable and knowledgeable skills they showed also made Queen Zhou look at him with admiration.

Midway through, they met Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian.

Concubine Yuan smiled and said, "Empress, these are Governor Zhang's wives and fiancées? Your Majesty is afraid that the Empress will not be too busy, so he asked Concubine Tian and I to help.

It turns out that Your Majesty and Governor Zhang are brothers, and those three are our younger brothers and sisters, so we must treat them well."

Concubine Tian smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty and Governor Zhang are brothers and sisters. They have done many great things for Your Majesty and the people of the world. Several younger brothers and sisters have definitely helped a lot of help in assisting Governor Zhang on weekdays and deserve rewards. I believe Your Majesty will not treat his younger brothers and sisters badly."

Empress Zhou was a little unhappy, knowing that these two women deliberately found an opportunity to win over Liu Rushi and the others in order to please the emperor.

The emperor attaches importance to Zhang Hao, and they can make the emperor happy if they take good care of Zhang Hao's women.

As soon as Liu Rushi and the others came to the palace, they felt the open and secret struggle between these concubines. Although they were worried that the seven of them might fight in the future, she believed that Zhang Hao would not let this happen.

Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian joined, and the group became even more lively.

After a short rest, Zhang Hao is now talking to Zhu Youjian and Li Shimin, talking about the past events in the Tang Dynasty, and teasing Zhang Hao got the Seven Beauty of the Eight Beauty of Qinhuai, talking about the things that are going to do in the future.

"I'll be in the place. I feel relieved if you are in the capital."

Zhang Hao didn't want to be an official in the capital, and thought it was good to be on the coast: "Also, the development of the coastal economy is very important, and in the next few years I will focus on the coastal economy.

Nowadays, disaster relief is stable, but it will continue for a long time. Therefore, labor-for-relief needs to be persisted in for a long time. Therefore, more resources must be invested in infrastructure, construction of water conservancy projects, construction of official roads, construction of rail steam engines, etc., which can drive a large number of labor... "

Zhu Youjian nodded: "In addition, we must also accelerate the dissemination and research of scientific and technological knowledge, and the new official school needs to be promoted more.

In addition, the force purchased a large amount of food in other countries. In recent years, maritime trade has brought a lot of benefits to the court, and it is very necessary to use the resources of other countries to supplement themselves."

Li Shimin didn't know much about these, but he was constantly learning and cooperated with Zhu Youjian and Zhang Hao and others.
