Yuexin Building has five floors and is in a good location.
Li Kui looked through the window and could see the boundless blue sky. At the end of his sight were several hot air balloons and a huge and bloated airship.
'Technology is still developing rapidly!'
He took a sip of the hot tea. It was sweet and mellow, a good tea. The snacks were also excellent, sweet but not greasy, just the right amount.
Some thoughts are ups and downs.
Half an hour later.
"tread."
The sound of footsteps came from the corridor.
Then, the closed door opened, and a handsome young man led a strong man in. When he saw Li Kui for the first time, his face lit up with joy.
"Hahaha, Li Kui, you are here!"
It was Zhu Zhanji and Chen Hu.
"I have met His Highness."
Li Kui smiled, stood up and held his hands in his hands, "How have you been, Your Highness?"
"Okay, that's great! Thanks to you!"
Zhu Zhanji took off his outer robe and handed it to Chen Hu next to him.
"Come, sit down and talk."
He smiled and said: "I thought you would definitely come to Peking in the next few days, and sure enough!"
"Your Highness has a wonderful plan." Li Kui picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot water for Zhu Zhanji, "I just thought that Chen Hu would come to pick me up, but I didn't expect that it was His Highness who came in person."
"Hahaha."
At this time, Chen Hu laughed dullly and said, "The guys in the building came to report to the house, and His Highness rushed over immediately."
"Eh."
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and asked concernedly: "What about you, did anything happen along the way?"
"nothing."
Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a bright smile: "The journey has been quite smooth."
"Very good."
Zhu Zhanji picked up the teacup, took a sip, nodded slightly, and shouted: "Chen Hu, please give the things to Deputy Li Qianhu."
‘Deputy Li Qianhu?’
Li Kui blinked and was promoted again?!
Is this the emperor's grandson's thigh?
Thick enough!
Chen Hu took out an exquisite gold-inlaid token from his sleeve and placed it gently in front of Li Kui.
"Jinyiwei, Deputy Qianhu of Fusi, North Town."
Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth.
Just say it clearly: Praise me!
I have to say that this position is very valuable.
Beizhen Fusi was added by Zhu Di himself, specializing in handling cases designated by the emperor, and it also had imperial edicts and prisons, so it had great power!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Kui had a clear conscience, so he followed the good deeds and thanked him.
"Eh."
Zhu Zhanji narrowed his eyes, drank the tea in one gulp, and said with a smile:
"The icing on the cake, in the final analysis, you are good enough! After two-quarters of an hour of bombardment, Commander Wala did not die. You can find him out of a hundred thousand people and kill him. With this merit, he can be replaced by a deputy of a thousand households.
!”
He teased slightly: "Because of your glory, the saint gave me a job as a guard of thousands of households."
To put it bluntly, Li Kui's boss is Zhu Zhanji.
Li Kui made a congratulatory gesture: "Then I would like to congratulate Your Highness."
"Same joy, same joy!"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Until this moment, Li Kui's inner courtesy towards Zhu Zhanji had been completely forgotten.
Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands: "By the way, you haven't visited Beiping City yet, right?"
Li Kui replied: "When I came here, I took a look around."
"Come on, let me take you for a walk. You know, today is a good day."
With that said, Zhu Zhanji put down his tea cup and immediately walked outside.
'Totally ignored.'
Li Kui twitched the corners of his mouth and had no choice but to stand up and follow him, asking by the way, "What a good day today is."
tread!
Zhu Zhanji stepped forward and suddenly turned back, his eyes shining brightly:
"Today, Sanbao eunuch Zheng He is back!
"Coming back with him were dozens of leaders and envoys from other countries."
Hearing this, Li Kui raised his eyebrows and thought: This is really a big day!
"Walk!"
Ever since.
Chen Hu drove the car, and the two of them sat in the car and started touring Beiping City.
…
…
"Wow!"
"lion!"
"What's the name of this black and white horse?"
"Look, that person is so dark. Even if the lights are turned off, you can't even see him."
On the extremely spacious street, elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, and all kinds of rare birds and animals donated to Zhu Di, led by envoys from various countries, headed towards the palace in an orderly manner.
They looked at this new city of kings with shocked eyes, knowing that only by pleasing the emperor with the treasures they presented could they be qualified to meet the holy face and swear allegiance!
The surrounding people of the Ming Dynasty also looked at these people with high noses and deep eyes with novel eyes, or people with black bodies. They wore Ming Dynasty clothes and spoke fluent Mandarin, which was amazing.
These envoys from Asia, Arabia, Africa and the Indian Ocean passed by in front of everyone.
"How about it, it's spectacular!"
In the crowd, Zhu Zhanji stood with his hands behind his hands, tilted his head and said to Li Kui beside him.
“It’s really awesome!”
Li Kui said sincerely.
"Some countries are not qualified to come. If they are too backward and lack tradable goods or valuable knowledge, they are not included in this invitation. If they can come to Peking, they are recognized!"
Zhu Zhanji's tone was filled with deep pride.
The Ming Empire looked down upon all nations!
Li Kui just looked at the group of envoys walking away and remained silent.
To be fair, although he is not from this world, he has seen quite a lot after coming here. The warship of the Ming Empire now has various shortcomings undeniable, but its greatness is known to everyone in the world.
!
At this time, Zhu Zhanji looked up at the sun and said with a smile: "Just in time, the Chongyi Building is not far from here. I will take you to taste the delicacies of other countries."
The Chongyi Building is a place dedicated to receiving foreign envoys.
But it’s much more than that. During the Ming Dynasty, sixteen restaurants were set up in southern Beijing, collectively called Kyoto Restaurants, and the same was true in Peiping!
In front of the landlord Zhu Zhanji, Li Kui could only say: "Okay!"
"Chen Hu, open the way!"
Zhu Zhanji shouted.
Therefore, the powerful Chen Hu opened the way, and the three of them quickly got out of the crowded crowd, identified the direction, and headed straight to the Kyoto Restaurant.
In just five or six minutes, a grand restaurant with high base and double eaves appeared in front of everyone, and the noise poured into the eardrums.
Li Kui raised his eyes slightly.
On the plaque, the three characters "Chongyilou" come into view.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
Zhu Zhanji took out the Jinyiwei Qianhu Token and was quickly entertained.
After a while, the three of them were sitting by the window on the fourth floor, with the table in front of them filled with delicacies from all over the world.
Exotic flavor!
Li Kui tasted a few mouthfuls and couldn't help but nod.
Not to mention, it tastes really good.
Suddenly, a sound of reading aloud with a difficult pronunciation slowly reached my ears.
Li Kui turned to look out the window.
It turns out that not far from the restaurant is the Family Learning Center, where an old man is holding a scroll, shaking his head and reciting.
"That's the Seikan."
Zhu Zhanji also noticed the movement outside the window and solved Li Kui's doubts.
Li Kui was curious: "Siyi Pavilion?"
"Yes, it specializes in teaching students the languages and characters of various countries. Nowadays, there are quite a few people coming to Ming from other countries, and a large number of translators are needed. Through them, we can learn about the history of the barbarians and the current situation of the country."
Li Kui nodded clearly.
Isn’t it just an ancient foreign language school?
Immediately, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. This is Zheng He's fifth voyage to the West."
