Chapter 400: Our great grandson, our great grandson!
Early next morning.
"Don't disturb the great grandson, let her sleep a little longer."
Zhu Ying, who was changing clothes in the outer room, opened her mouth and explained.
"Follow orders."
Guo Zhong replied with joy on his face.
At the same time, the bags under his eyes seemed to be thicker, his energy level was also a little sluggish, and his eye sockets were vaguely dark.
Last night, Guo Zhong didn't sleep all night.
I listened to Qianggen for a whole night.
Even the royal family cannot avoid the custom of listening to wall roots.
In fact, Zhu Ying also understood what was going on outside, but there were some things that even as a grandson, he couldn't help himself.
The only option is to simply ignore it.
Seeing the grandson walking steadily out of Kunning Palace after dressing up without any signs of decadence, Guo Zhong could only look in amazement on his face.
The confidant of the junior official said at this time: "Eunuch, His Highness Taisun was so fierce in front of me that he worked hard all night, and the cockcrow stopped. He was so majestic, and the Ming Dynasty was blessed."
"I think your Majesty would be extremely happy if he knew the news."
Hearing this, Guo Zhong slapped the young eunuch on the head and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, since you know His Majesty will be happy, why don't you hurry up and tell His Majesty the good news."
When the young eunuch heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, father-in-law, thank you, father-in-law..."
Guo Zhong waved his hand: "Okay, hurry up and move quickly. Your Majesty may have been waiting for this news."
The young eunuch quickly stood up and bowed: "Young man, come over here."
Then he spread his legs and started running.
This kind of good news is the most fragrant good thing among officials.
Especially when this person is Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is happy, gold and silver treasures are second to none. If there is any promotion next time, it may fall on you.
Eunuch, the most important thing is to become familiar with you in front of the royal family. Life will be much better in the future.
Guo Zhong was overjoyed, but immediately arranged for the palace maids to stay close to the palace.
In fact, for such a good thing, Guo Zhong also wanted to go there in person, but Concubine Taisun was not awake yet, so naturally she had to wait on her.
Besides, he has reached this level now, so there is no need to be obsessed with showing up.
It is enough if we can maintain our current position without making any mistakes.
In today's Ming Dynasty, no matter which class of officials they are, their first thought is to survive.
...
When Ye Yue woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"Your Highness Taisun!"
With a cry of surprise, Ye Yueqing wanted to get up and take a look at her surroundings, but a burst of pain came over her.
Memory returns.
Ye Yueqing just wanted to hide in bed again.
Scenes of unspeakable scenes were swirling in her mind, and the pain somewhere in her body kept reminding her of the madness last night.
"How can I withstand His Highness Taisun's ferocity? It seems that we can only think of a way quickly and find a few people to share the burden."
The corners of Ye Yueqing's mouth were a little bitter.
Both of them were new to human affairs and had no rules to speak of. Zhu Ying had no control over what was appropriate. This was because he had too little experience.
Feeling the condition of her body, Ye Yueqing knew very well that it was just too bad for the past two or three days.
However, she couldn't serve her grandson, which made her feel extremely guilty.
Thinking of this, he struggled to get up.
Guo Zhong heard the noise outside and immediately arranged for the palace maid to go in to wait on him while he waited outside the house.
Although he was an eunuch, Guo Zhong was extremely cautious and set the rules. Those who serve the concubine can only be palace maids. Even eunuchs must avoid them when they should and must not be presumptuous.
After changing clothes, Ye Yueqing summoned Guo Zhong.
"Before tonight, you will arrange for Annan Anxiu Princess Chen Muyue to wait at Kunning Palace."
"Old slave understands."
...
"Is our eldest grandson really so fierce?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, he stood up and questioned the young eunuch who was delivering the message.
The young eunuch was timid. After being stared at like this, his mind went blank. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly:
"Your Majesty, spare your life. Everything I said is true. Your Majesty, please understand carefully and never dare to deceive Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing when he saw this.
This laugh was so wanton and hearty.
I feel happier this morning.
"Our great grandson, our great grandson!!!"
"We really didn't expect that the eldest grandson would remain a child even though he traveled through the deserts of the Western Regions."
"To be able to be so violent means that all the strength of nineteen years has been used up. What a great grandson, hey hey, what a great grandson we have!"
For Daming, strictly speaking in today's society, male virility is very important.
Especially the royal family attaches more importance to it.
Handling government and state affairs is one aspect, being competent is another aspect.
In this way, why worry about not being able to spread its branches and leaves, and have descendants prosper.
"No, we really underestimated the eldest grandson. His energy is so strong. He has not slept for most of the night, and he can still run out of the palace. This shows that he is far from reaching his limit."
"I'm afraid this little girl Yue Qing can't bear it alone. We have to find a way to give our eldest grandson some more women."
After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes changed and he had an idea in his mind.
...
In less than half a day, the news about His Highness Taisun's dragons, tigers, and cockcrows had spread throughout the palace.
Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, this does not seem like a good thing, but in today's Ming Dynasty, it is really a good thing.
According to the words of civil servants, this is the blessing of the country and the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying never expected that what she thought was just a corner story would now become known to everyone.
Now Zhu Ying is rushing to the office of the newspaper in the capital's residence.
The office location of Di Bao was not located in the bustling streets of the capital, but in the outer city.
And even in the outer city, it is still a relatively secluded place.
It is completely different from the office environment of later generations. These are two large courtyards connected.
The editor-in-chief and editor of the Jingshi Di newspaper usually sets up the desk in the main hall and starts editing.
Not far away is the place used by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for printing.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Grand Sun!"
In the main hall, as the editor-in-chief, Yuan Jiachi led the editors and bowed in salute.
"I am here mainly to deal with the second edition of the Di newspaper."
"Now the first edition of Di Bao has basically been printed and will be on sale tomorrow. The Di Bao was originally scheduled to be reissued seven days later."
"I have temporarily changed my mind. You must complete the compilation of the school team within two days, and then publish, print and sell it immediately."
Zhu Ying didn't waste any time and started giving orders directly.
Yuan Jiachi couldn't help but ask: "Report to Your Highness, we will definitely complete Your Highness's instructions within two days."
If more than a dozen people can't even write those two pages of the newspaper, then there's no need to mess around.
When Zhu Ying heard this, he shook his head and said: "My visit this time is mainly about the second edition of the residence report."
"The main reason why I came here in person is because of this content."
Yuan Jiachi bowed and asked, "Please give me your instructions, Your Highness."
Zhu Ying did not turn around too much and spoke directly: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is about to conquer Japan, you and others must complete the main introduction and analysis of Japan in the shortest possible time."
"Especially the fact that the Japanese country killed Ming envoys, not ministering to the Ming Dynasty, and many members of the Japanese government were composed of Japanese pirates. These things must be introduced in detail."
"It would be better to add some evidence about the Japanese pirates' invasion of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the living conditions of the local people after the invasion."
Having said this, Zhu Ying looked at Yuan Jiachi and asked, "But you understand what I mean."
Yuan Jiachi quickly bowed and replied: "The common people understand."
Zhu Ying nodded with satisfaction, then turned his eyes. Song Zhong next to him immediately sent an order to his subordinates.
Four Jinyi guards came over carrying two large boxes.
"What is contained here is the record of the Japanese invaders' invasion of the Ming Dynasty. Which ones can be used and which ones cannot be used must be carefully considered."
Zhu Ying explained.
The words are stated so clearly, how can Yuan Jiachi not understand the truth?
The most important thing is how to improve the Ming people's momentum towards the Japanese country.
Since ancient times, it has been important to have a good reputation, and the issuance of the Capital City Newspaper is naturally for reputation and great righteousness.
.....
Zhengyang Avenue, finally opened a room.
On this day, the people of the capital rushed towards Zhengyang Avenue before dawn.
"Hurry up, hurry up, this is Zhengyang Avenue, we have to catch the first step. I heard that stepping on it can bring good luck."
"That's not true. Yesterday was my grandson's wedding. The joy has definitely not dissipated now. Hurry up and take a few more puffs. At least it can be considered a bit of royal good luck."
"If your Royal Highness and Concubine Taisun are really touched by your happiness, everything will go smoothly and you will have good fortune."
"Isn't it true that many children bring happiness?"
"Idiot, you don't even know what kind of person our great grandson is. If we in the capital can be where we are now, are we counting on our great grandson to live such a good life?"
"Tsk, tsk, with the tens of millions of subsidies, the rice I have stored is enough to last more than half a year. I really want to thank His Highness the Grand Sun."
"The scale of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is a bit small in terms of daily income. I think His Highness Taisun is probably the reincarnation of the God of Wealth."
"Shit, the God of Wealth is nothing in front of His Highness Taisun. If the God of Wealth really reincarnates, it will probably be just one of His Highness's subordinates."
"It makes sense, it makes sense..."
Zhengyang Avenue was thirty feet wide, which would have been more than ninety meters wide in later generations.
However, even with such a width, it still cannot accommodate the enthusiasm of the people in the capital.
At a glance, it's crowded with people.
Uncle Zhang took Zhang San to Zhengyang Avenue to check the situation.
Naturally, the most important thing is about the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue.
Now, with the help of the Ministry of Industry, construction has begun on both sides and is currently in the stage of laying a solid foundation.
"Uncle Zhang, does your Highness mean that the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue are mainly for leasing, and not a single one will be sold?"
Zhang San asked with some confusion.
After the incident, Zhang San no longer had the position of Jin Yiwei, so he returned to Uncle Zhang to help him.
Although the misunderstanding was eventually resolved, there was no way to look back, we could only look ahead.
Now that the good friend who is far away in the Western Regions has come over, Zhang San feels at peace in his heart.
"Originally His Highness Taisun's intention was to sell some of the shops to cover the expenses on Zhengyang Avenue."
"But I heard that it seems that a larger road is going to be built, connecting the north and the south. The national treasury must support it. It cannot be said that the chamber of commerce will pay all the money."
"Such an official road cannot be built even if all chambers of commerce are hollowed out."
"Based on this, there is no need to cover the expenses too much. The Chamber of Commerce's funds are quite sufficient recently."
"If the shops on both sides are sold now, the price is too low. Now that the capital is becoming more and more prosperous, these shops will definitely rise with the tide, so I will keep it in my hands first."
"According to His Highness Taisun's instructions, the lease will be every two years, and priority will be given to renewing the contract when it expires."
Zhang San doesn’t understand business.
But looking at the dense crowds on Zhengyang Avenue, any fool will understand that any shop is an excellent and prosperous shop, and it is also a representative of status.
No matter what kind of business you are doing, it is a business that is sure to make a profit without losing any money.
Holding it in your hand is the key.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang suddenly frowned and sniffed.
"What's wrong, Uncle Zhang?" Zhang San couldn't help but ask.
Uncle Zhang said solemnly: "I smell the smell of Japanese pirates."
"Those guys dare to come to our capital of the Ming Dynasty. They are so bold."
Zhang San's eyes suddenly became sharp, but after scanning around, he didn't see any suspicious characters.
"Uncle Zhang, could this be a mistake?"
Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "I will never forget this fishy smell even if I turn into ashes."
Uncle Zhang is not of Han nationality, but belongs to the Jurchens of the East China Sea, also known as the Savage Jurchens.
As the leader of a small Jurchen tribe in the East China Sea, he often dealt with Japanese pirates.
I once had two sons who died in the hands of Japanese pirates.
Japanese pirates not only invaded the Ming Dynasty, but also targeted all coastal areas.
Uncle Zhang was very familiar with Japanese pirates.
"Don't look at them with your eyes. These Japanese pirates are very similar to us Ming people. It's impossible to tell them apart from their faces. But the smell on their bodies definitely doesn't fool me."
Uncle Zhang's tone was certain. Before he met Zhu Ying, Uncle Zhang's tribe and the Japanese pirates were mortal enemies.
How many brothers and sisters have fallen on the road to fight against the Japanese pirates.
Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, looked around, then pulled Zhang San and started to investigate carefully.
A certain restaurant.
A man looked out the window at the prosperous and lively scene and couldn't help but said: "Kameda-kun, this Ming Dynasty is really prosperous. Compared with our Japanese country, there is a difference between heaven and earth."
"It's only been half a year since I came to Ming Dynasty, and I already don't want to go back. In their words, it's called being happy and not thinking about Shu."
Kameda heard this and said displeasedly: "Do you want to betray the glory of the Emperor?"
After hearing this, the person who spoke just now quickly began to express his loyalty to the emperor, which made Kameda-kun nod with satisfaction.
"The most important thing for us to come here this time is to see if we can steal the manufacturing methods of Daming firearms, especially the artillery that can't even withstand city walls."
"If we can go back, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward us greatly."
The two of them spoke in a very low voice and in Japanese, so they were not afraid of eavesdropping.
