Chapter 20 Double Ninth Festival - Continue to visit the capital
After leaving the noodle shop's door, Yun He was still laughing, which made Chen Xing and Yang Feng very depressed. They secretly asked Wang Xi who this 'Tang Bohu' was.
Wang Xi didn't know either. He wanted to find someone to ask, so he didn't say anything.
After laughing for a while, Yunxi stopped and continued to look at the various life scenes on the street. Chen Xing and Yang Feng saw that he was no longer sick, so they began to introduce again. By this time, they were already walking in the north of the city, and Yunxi found that even in the city, there was a lot of free time.
I hurriedly asked Chen Xing where he was, and Chen Xing also hurriedly answered.
It turns out that Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty was different from the later Beigan City. When Zhu Yuanzhang built Nanjing City, considering military factors, he expanded all the surrounding hills to become part of the city wall and built military facilities, making Nanjing City very large, even though it was
Now there are nearly one million residents, and some places seem empty. Later, when Zhu Di built Bei'an City, he mainly repaired the palace and did not expand the entire city. When the population expanded later and he wanted to expand the city, the national finance could no longer support it.
A whole circle of city walls and facilities were rebuilt (Note 1), so only the south city was left.
But soon he was immersed in his own thoughts. Just now Yunxi asked Boss Tang whether he accepted treasure banknotes because he wanted to know how the circulation of treasure banknotes was now. Unexpectedly, under the emperor's feet, in the majestic capital, treasure banknotes were no longer accepted.
Welcomed, this shows how unpopular the treasure banknotes are among the people. He also wants to issue banknotes. Even if they are not called banknotes, if the banknotes fall, it will be very difficult to issue new banknotes. It must be done now
So he started to think of ways to save the treasure. Yunxi thought.
After wandering around for a while, Yunxi was thinking absent-mindedly, and was quickly discovered by Wang Xi and the other three. Although he didn't know why, Wang Xi still whispered: "Your Highness, it's getting late, why don't you go back
Bar."
Yunxi looked up at the sky. It should be around 5 pm and it was still early before dark. He understood that his absent-mindedness was seen, so he agreed to go back. The group of people then walked towards Donghua Gate.
When he was almost walking to Hongwu Street, he saw a low-key, luxurious and connotative carriage passing by the intersection. Yunxi was very surprised, because although the carriage was not gorgeous in appearance, he could tell at a glance that it must be for the royal family (referring to the royal family).
), but there is no mark of any level of the royal family on the body, nor is there any mark of prince, prince or official status. It is very strange!
So he asked Chen Xing and Yang Feng: "The carriage in front is very strange. Do you know whose it belongs to?"
Of course, Chen Xing and Yang Feng also saw the carriage. Chen Xing listened to Yun He's question and immediately replied: "That should be Liu Moxie's carriage. It should be the carriage given to her by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When Yunxi heard this, Liu Moxie? Who is this? So he asked: "Who is this Liu Moxie?"
Yang Feng replied: "Your Highness, this Liu Moxie is from the capital. He was born in the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty. It is said that he has been famous since he was a child. When this dynasty was established, he became more talented and famous, and he had good relations with the eldest princess and other ladies. Moreover.
She seems to be quite wealthy, but no one knows where her wealth comes from. Some people say that she got rich because she married a wealthy businessman during the troubled times, but they don’t know whether it is true or not; and, it is said, it is said..."
Yunxi saw him hesitating and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly and I won't blame you."
Yang Fengcai said: "It is said that she was summoned by His Majesty, and because of her good literary talent, she was given the title of female scholar."
When Yunxi heard this, he knew that this must be a rumor. In fact, he was not sure whether Lao Zhu could do such a thing. After all, Lao Zhu was also a person who did unusual things from time to time. Yunxi was not talking about anything.
, but I remember Liu Moxie.
Going further, there were a large number of carriages and horseback riders traveling from north to south. It turned out that the people who went to climb the mountains in the north this morning had already returned. Also out of fear of trouble, Yunxi found a teahouse on the roadside.
We stayed there for a while, planning to wait until the large group of people passed by before continuing our walk.
As soon as he sat down, Yunxi noticed that Chen Xing and Yang Feng were looking in one direction and muttering. Yunxi also looked over there. There was a man in his thirties drinking tea. There was nothing special about him. Could this man have something?
What's so special? So he asked Chen Xing: "Since you came in, you two have been whispering at that person, who is that person? Is he worthy of your attention?"
Chen Xing replied: "Your Highness doesn't know Lord Tie? Your Highness has been to the school grounds in the north of the city many times these days, but has he never seen Lord Tie?"
Yunxi was confused: "What Master Tie? Why should I know him?"
Seeing this, Chen Xing realized that Yunxi really didn't know that person, so he hurriedly said: "That person is Master Tie Xuan Tie. He is currently serving as a minister in the Etiquette Department. His Majesty ordered him to judge affairs in the Governor's Mansion. He also holds the name of punishment and often goes there.
In the north of the city, I thought Mr. Yun knew him? Because Master Tie is quite prestigious in holding the punishment title, we are a little afraid of him."
It turns out that he is Tie Xuan! Yunxi looked at the unremarkable profile and sighed, Tie Xuan was the one who died the most miserably after Zhu Di's successful evacuation, except for Huang Zicheng and three others. He was also a very loyal person! I
It will definitely change your ending. Yunxi thought.
Yunxi wanted to go up to chat and get to know each other, but there was no suitable reason for fear of backlash. After all, it was difficult to get in touch with a principled person like Tiexuan (who was said to be an elm-headed person). At this time, the brigade came back from the mountain.
The men and horses had passed, Yunxi thought about it, gave up the contact, and left.
Continuing walking to the street outside Donghua Gate, Yunxi lowered his head to think about something. Wang Xi touched Yunxi lightly and said, "Your Highness, in front of you is Lord Qi Taiqi from the Ministry of War." Wang Xi once followed him to the Ministry of War, so
Meet Qitai.
Yunxi hurriedly came to his senses, and Qi Tai had also seen Yunxi and stepped forward to salute, feeling a little uneasy. Yunxi returned the salute and said, "Why is Master Qi like this?" Yunxi's original intention was to ask him why.
Are you uneasy? Have you encountered any difficulties? If you need help, just ask!
Unexpectedly, Qi Tai's face immediately turned red and he said: "I got off work today because my father and younger brother came to Beijing to visit me, and it was also the Double Ninth Festival. I also asked for leave from Lord Shangshu, so I did not return home early privately."
Only then did Yunxi understand the reason for his uneasiness. He couldn't help but laugh and cry, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, you don't have to be like this. Even Grandpa Huang is on leave for half a day today. Master Qi has already asked for leave. What reason is there for you to be uneasy?" He took it out on the street again.
Give Qitai a pack of the pastries he bought.
Qi Tai was embarrassed and took the cake involuntarily. Seeing him like this, Yunxi couldn't talk to him anymore, so he turned and left.
When Qi Tai came back to his senses, Yun Xi had already walked away. He looked at the snacks in his hand. Although Qi Tai was a very simple man, he also knew that if he caught up and returned the things now, he would completely offend Yun Xi.
I could only take my things and go home.
At the gate of Donghua, Yunxi changed his clothes, said goodbye to Chen Xing and Yang Feng, and returned to the palace.
Note 1: In fact, the civil officials at that time felt that it was a waste of money and people and did not allocate funds. When the city really needed to be built in the late Ming Dynasty, there was really no money.
