Grandpa Huang left it to him to find Qu Yuan, but Zhu Zhanji didn't know when Qu Yuan would come, so how could he find him?
There was no other way, Zhu Zhanji could only send people to guard the gate of the capital every day, hoping that Qu Yuan could come to Xinming as soon as possible to purchase goods.
...
Qu Yuan looked at the new imperial capital and couldn't help but smile.
Last time, under the care of His Royal Highness, he bought high-quality silk porcelain for official use. After returning home, he was greatly loved by the leaders of the surrounding tribes, allowing him to make a lot of money.
So after selling out, he immediately set off to Xinming, hoping to buy some useful high-quality goods back home.
After all, it was only because of His Highness the Crown Prince's words that he was able to buy such sought-after goods. Who knows how long this situation can last? He is a businessman, and of course he must make the maximum profit within a limited time.
Profit, this is his true nature.
Qu Yuan planned to buy more goods and go back this time, using twice as many people as the last time he escorted Yu Qian and others.
Just as Qu Yuan and his tribe were queuing up at the city gate, waiting to enter the city, a large group of soldiers quickly ran forward and surrounded him and his tribe.
When the people nearby saw it, they quickly fled to the side and looked at the people surrounded by soldiers with lingering fear.
"Who are these people? They don't look like they are from our Xinming..."
"No, at least the leader's actions are very similar to ours..."
"Hey, he is still wearing the green shirt of an academy student. Could it be that he is a student of the academy?"
"If he is an academy student, then why did the people from the City Patrol Department surround them?"
Qu Yuan was also frightened. He was suddenly surrounded by so many soldiers with swords. Who could not be afraid? Fortunately, he could speak Chinese and bowed quickly: "Masters, is there any misunderstanding?"
Saying that, Qu Yuan quickly took out a bag of money from his arms, and with a smile, he was about to stuff it into the hands of the leading general: "General, be tolerant, and a little kindness is not disrespectful."
Although Qu Yuan has never encountered such a big scene, he is very familiar with such things.
The leading general glanced at Qu Yuan with a strange expression, and smiled meaningfully: "Looking at you, you have done this kind of thing a lot, right?"
"It's just a job to make a living, just a job to eat... I have to trouble the general to take care of it..." Qu Yuan saw the general smiling, and he also smiled in relief.
However, the general weighed the money bag and did not take it back into his arms. Instead, he threw it to Qu Yuan: "Keep it yourself."
Qu Yuan subconsciously received the money bag, and his expression immediately changed. Since he doesn't want the money, he wants his life. It's over!
"General, what does this mean?" Qu Yuan's face instantly turned pale and he asked with trembling lips.
The general said nothing more, just stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
Soon, a eunuch ran over from behind carrying a python robe. Regardless of his panting, he shouted loudly: "Where is the person? Where is the person?"
The surrounding soldiers immediately opened a path, allowing the eunuch to enter without any hindrance.
When Qu Yuan saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment and handed over his hands with surprise on his face: "Manager Ji, we meet again!"
"Qu Yuan, you are really Qu Yuan! Hahaha, the sky has eyes..." Manager Ji stepped forward and grabbed Qu Yuan's arm, laughing loudly.
"Let's go!" After laughing, Manager Ji took Qu Yuan's arm and turned around to leave.
"Go, where are you going?" Qu Yuan hadn't recovered yet, and pointed to the soldier next to him: "But, do I have anything else to do here..."
Manager Ji stopped immediately, turned to the general and said, "We have found him. You have nothing to do with us here. Let's all disperse."
"Yes. I will retire at the end." The general hurriedly saluted with clasped fists.
Manager Ji nodded slightly and made a sound from his nostrils: "Well, don't worry, our family will give you a few nice words in front of His Highness the Crown Prince later, and you will be credited with your merits."
"Thank you, Lord Steward." The general happily bowed and thanked them. They had been standing here for so many days. Although it was extremely hard, they finally paid off today.
This is already considered lucky. The unlucky ones are the guards of the other three city gates. Everyone is doing the same job and the same thing, but they can't get any benefits.
After finally finding Qu Yuan, Zhu Zhanji immediately took him to see Grandpa Huang.
"Qu Yuan, a common man, pays homage to the emperor." This was the first time for Qu Yuan to meet the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he was meticulous in etiquette.
When Zhu Di saw Qu Yuan, a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand quickly and said: "You are also a leader, you don't need to call yourself a commoner. Come and give me a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Yuan stood up and nodded with a smile before sitting down on the golden pier.
Zhu Di saw that Qu Yuan only dared to sit in a corner of Jindun, and he felt in a trance that he was not facing a native American, but a well-educated scholar.
"I heard that you once went to Daming Academy to study?"
Qu Yuan quickly raised his hand towards Zhu Di and replied in a low voice: "Yes. Thanks to the love of Duke Zhen, I have been given the opportunity to go to Ming Dynasty and see a broader world."
"Then why did you choose to come back instead of staying in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Di stared at Qu Yuan with burning eyes and asked with deep meaning.
Qu Yuan laughed dryly, shook his head and sighed: "The Ming Dynasty is indeed the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world, and I also want to stay in the Ming Dynasty..."
While speaking, Qu Yuan raised his head slightly and his eyes lost focus. He seemed to be recalling the time he lived in Daming.
It has to be said that even after many years of hard work, he tried his best to transform the clan into a prosperous direction like the Ming Dynasty, but he is far from achieving it so far.
On the contrary, here in Xinming, he felt that life was almost exactly the same as in Daming.
"But there are still clansmen here. I can stay in the Ming Dynasty, but what about my clansmen?"
After hearing this, Zhu Di glanced at Qu Yuan with admiration and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to single-handedly make your people live like the Ming Dynasty?"
Qu Yuan immediately lowered his head and smiled bitterly, sighing: "I know it's impossible, but I'm willing to work hard for it. Maybe I won't be able to see my people living like that one day in my life, but as long as I persist, people will eventually see it.
arrive."
Zhu Di was surprised. He looked at Qu Yuan up and down for a long time, making Qu Yuan lower his head in embarrassment.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Di nodded heavily and said, "I didn't expect that you would have such great ambitions."
Being praised by Emperor Xinming himself, Qu Yuan felt even more embarrassed. He rubbed his fingers awkwardly like a young man who had never seen the world: "I don't have any great ambitions. These are just my delusions."
