After Yunlan's wedding was held, Yunxi settled his worries and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the government. He did not plan to carry out any reforms recently, but the military reforms ordered by the emperor on the first day of the year or two years ago still remained.
It's not completely over. After all, this time the Fifth Army Governor's Palace was changed to the Grand Governor's Palace, which was different from the change from the Grand Governor's Palace to the Fifth Army Governor's Palace during Zhu Yuanzhang's time. The entire internal structure had changed and the previous one could not be used.
At the same time, the re-equipment of the Imperial Guards is also proceeding in an orderly manner. The weapons workshop, which was originally under the Ministry of Industry and is now under the General Armament Department, starts operating at dawn and does not stop until dark, making flintlock muskets to equip the Imperial Guards.
The matchlock gun replaced by Kaminaoue was given to other Kyowei.
The seeds of the new crops have also been sown. All the nobles know that these new crops must be valuable, and even if they are not valuable, they can still taste them, so they have tried their best to fight for the seeds for fear of running out, so they still allow you to come forward and demarcate each family.
Only the number of points can solve this problem.
After all the nobles received the seeds, they immediately planted them in their own fields. Of course, part of their fields also used new farming methods as Yunxi told the farmers in Heyanzhuang before.
Fang Mingqian also led the fleet to the Hanzhou Continent again. This time his fleet was much larger. The people who wanted money but not their lives were inspired by the opera written by Zhu Youdun, and the civil and military officials who were exiled to the Hanzhou Continent were
The captured gangsters and bandits from all over the country were all put on ships and packed up to be sent to Hanzhou.
And their route will also change this time. Based on Fang Mingqian's observations of ocean currents on the Hanzhou continent in the past two years, combined with the experience of Japanese fishermen, he believes that there must be an ocean current south of the traditional route from Japan eastward to Hanzhou
, so they decided to explore this ocean current route to Hanzhou.
Also accompanying them were the children of Chu King Zhu Zhen and Xiang King Zhu Bai. Zhu Bai had already established a firm foothold in the Hanzhou continent, so he naturally wanted to take his wife and children over; Zhu Zhen felt that his son was still young and would stay in the capital for a few more years.
.
And he also has his own ideas. The development of Hanzhou continent is currently inseparable from local support. If he leaves his son in the capital and has more contact with Yunxi, there may be a few more people assigned to him than to Zhu Bai. Others
There will be more support.
As for Yun Wen, although Yun Wen agreed to seal him to Hanzhou, he wanted to move him to the south. There was no need to seal him to the California-Mexico area in the north. But the south could not be developed for a while.
In addition to instructing Fang Mingqian to establish a foothold in the south as soon as possible, he could only temporarily keep Zhu Yunwen in his homeland.
In order to speed up the development progress, Yunxi even hinted to Fang Mingqian that he could be allowed to establish a semi-independent princely fiefdom in the south following the example of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. This really mobilized his enthusiasm, and he excitedly agreed to establish it in the south as soon as possible.
settlement.
Yunxi also said to him: "When you return to the Hanzhou continent and go to the south to establish settlements, pay attention to one kind of crop."
"This crop is not for eating. It grows on a tree that does not exist in the Ming Dynasty. No, it does not grow. It is something that flows out of the tree after cutting the bark. After it flows out, it will gradually
Solidification. This stuff is extremely elastic and can be shaped into a ball when it flows out of the tree. Next time someone comes back from Hanzhou Continent and brings the seeds of this tree."
Fang Mingqian forcefully swallowed the words "How did your Majesty know that there is such a crop in the south of Hanzhou Continent?" and agreed.
Yunxi also ordered him to search for other crops that he had never seen before in the Hanzhou continent, and to assist Zhu Bai, Zhu Zhen and others in governance, domesticate the local indigenous people, and increase the population and land under his rule, and then let him leave.
Standing in front of the dock of Longwandu, looking at the boats carrying Fang Mingqian, Zhu Zhen and others going away, Yunxi said in his heart: 'The future after two hundred years will be in your hands.'
After sending off the fleet bound for the Hanzhou mainland, there were no major events in the court, and Yunxi's life became orderly.
…
…
After court that day, Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace to change his clothes and was about to go out. Suddenly Xiyao sent someone to tell him: "Second sister has returned to the palace."
Upon hearing this, he hurriedly changed his clothes back and hurried to Kunning Palace.
As soon as he reached the door of the hall, he heard Yun Zhi's loud laughter coming from inside. He quickly walked in a few steps faster and said with a smile: "Yun Zhi, you are laughing like this, did you hear something funny?"
"My younger sister has met the imperial brother. Just now, the second sister said that the second brother-in-law came home from duty and told her that an official in Yingtianxingdusi accidentally fell into a mud pond while on duty and was covered in muddy water. I also drank a lot of it." Yunzhi stood up and said.
"It's true. But it's not worthy of your laughter. We are all grown up girls, and they will get married in a few days. They are still like children." Yunxi responded first, and then met Yunlan and Yunlan who came forward to salute. Yun and others said hello, and then said to Yunlan: "Second sister, why did you come into the palace again today? I know, I must have come to see your mother and concubine again."
"See what the emperor said, my sister can't go into the palace to see her brother and sister-in-law?" Yun Lan deliberately rolled her eyes at him and pulled Min'er to her side. "Besides, Min'er is so cute, I also want to come and see Min'er. Son."
"Min'er is the cutest!" she heard someone praising her and saying.
"Yeah, our Min'er is the cutest." Yunxi agreed smoothly and sat down next to her. Just as he was about to say a few words to her, Yunzhi heard Yunzhi say: "Brother, you can bring all these words." I have made fun of my younger sister many times, but my younger sister cannot get married yet, and I have to wait for my third sister to get married before I can get married."
"Fourth sister!" Yun Yun shouted.
"Third sister is shy." Yunzhi shouted again. After hearing this, Yunyun came over to play with her.
"Brother Imperial, Third Sister is indeed quite old. She is also eighteen this year, and it's time to choose a consort for her to get married. We can't all wait until they are twenty-one like me," Yunlan said.
"What happened to twenty-one years old? Twenty-one years old is a good time." Yunxi said in his heart. But he also knew that according to the standards of this era, twenty-one years old was already very old. If Yunlan hadn't been eighteen years old, It was the first time I promised a prince-in-law, but later he died in battle, so it was so late to choose a prince-son-in-law again. Maybe there would be some rumors. Even now, there are endless rumors of all kinds, and there are even some gossips. The news speculated that Yunlan fell in love with Yang Feng. After learning about it, Yunxi deliberately killed her first consort and then killed Yang Feng's wife.
However, Yunxi still sticks to the bottom line: he doesn't care much about what happens to the people, but women in the palace must be at least eighteen years old to get married; men must be at least eighteen years old to marry a concubine.
"Brother Huang is keeping this in mind." Yunxi said, "I will definitely try my best to choose a suitable consort for her this year and marry her next year."
"It's you, are you pregnant?"
Yunlan's face immediately turned red, but she was finally much stronger than before she got married. She said in a normal voice: "Not yet."
"It's a little late. We need to ask Yang Feng to work harder."
"But it's been more than a month since we got married, so it's already too late."
"Why isn't it too late? Your sister-in-law got pregnant within a month after she married me."
"Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?" Yun Lan decided to change her passive attitude to take the initiative and counterattacked: "You put so many errands on him, except for holidays, it takes hours to get back to the house, and he is extremely tired every day. Brother Emperor, please don't do it.
Let him arrange some errands."
"Who makes Zhang Shu not return to the capital yet?" Yun He said: "Originally, my brother appointed him as the commander-in-chief of Yingtianxing Dusi, but I didn't expect that the affairs of Yingfan were never completed and he was never allowed to return to the capital.
Yang Feng is responsible for the duties of both the general commander and the general commander, so he is naturally busy."
"But it will be fine soon. Ying Fan's affairs have finally been settled. According to the news the day before yesterday, he has set off to return to the capital and will arrive in more than ten days. When he arrives in the capital, Yang Feng will be able to relax."
"Really? This is really great." Yunlan said happily.
After hearing that her husband would be relaxed in a few days, Yunlan's interest in talking was obviously much higher. She talked to Yunxi for a while, and sat with Yunyun and Yunzhi to talk about jewelry.
"The jewelry in the palace is naturally of the best quality." Yunlan said, "Although the styles are often refurbished, they are not as good as those in private shops. The craftsmen in the palace always think too much and cannot make the styles.
The most beautiful.”
"After the year, a jewelry store appeared in Beijing. The owner of this store is said to be from Suzhou, and his surname is Li, but this is not important. What is important is that their jewelry styles are novel. It is said that the craftsmen in the store are not only people from the Ming Dynasty, but also people from the Ming Dynasty.
There are also those from Japan and Korea. The most thoughtful craftsmen combined the characteristics of Japanese and Korean jewelry with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty jewelry to create novel jewelry."
"I went there once with my eldest cousin of the Chang family and bought a lot of jewelry." As she said that, she took out a few pieces of jewelry from her body and handed them to the two of them: "Look, does it look novel?"
"You are from Suzhou, your surname is Li? Suzhou Li family?" Yunxi noticed this. "Their family brought business to the capital?"
Just as Yunxi was thinking about it, Yunzhi's eyes flashed, but she immediately regained her composure and praised the jewelry Yunlan brought into the palace.
Yunxi thought for a while and felt that even if their family brought the business to the capital, it would have no impact. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xiyao also looking at Yunlan's jewelry. Although others could not see it, she had been husband and wife for ten years.
Yunxi could tell that she also liked those pieces of jewelry.
"Yao'er, my husband will leave the palace in the afternoon. When he comes back, I will bring you a few things. I will also bring a few things for Yi'er and Min'er."
Xiyao gave him a look of thanks, but after thinking for a moment she said, "Siqi, Xianqin can't be left behind either. And my little aunt, she's grown up too."
"I know." Yunxi smiled and said, "I will definitely do it."
After having dinner together at noon, Yunlan naturally went to see her mother-in-law Qin Taifei. Yunxi took a half-hour nap in Kunning Palace, went to Qianqing Palace to criticize the memorials accumulated in the morning, and changed again
He put on all his clothes and took the guards out of the palace. (To be continued)
