Yunxi, who was in the capital, still didn't know that the investigation he ordered would lead to such a result. If he knew, he would probably laugh or cry. However, this also found the real reason, and it can be regarded as achieving his original purpose.
For Yunxi, the military and political reforms he planned to carry out in the last year of Hongwu had already been carried out, and the rest were planned to wait until the first year of Jianye next year to continue.
Therefore, in addition to the daily political affairs and the battle of wits and courage with civil servants who want to take advantage of loopholes, Yunxi now needs to carry out technical reforms.
On this day, Yunxi had finished correcting all the papers in the morning. After lunch break in the afternoon, he went to the side hall and called Wang Gong over. He asked, "Have all the craftsmen from Heyanzhuang outside the city moved to the imperial city?"
He asked Wang Gong to be the governor, so I came to ask him.
Wang Gong said: "Your Majesty, most of the craftsmen have moved into the imperial city, but because the glass is fragile, they are still slowly moving into the imperial city."
"It's just that the craftsmen who studied the cement that Your Majesty mentioned feel that they have worked for a long time in vain, and they are too embarrassed to continue their research and are unwilling to move into the imperial city."
In fact, these craftsmen were afraid after knowing that it was someone from the royal family who was behind this. They were afraid that there would be no results, and the prince who lost patience had to deal with them all, so he wanted to disband and go back to earn money in peace of mind, even if he earned less.
Yunxi didn't quite understand the thoughts of these craftsmen and said, "Are the people below scaring them, making them think that there will be unexpected disasters if there is no result? Didn't I say not to scare these people?"
"I will go to Heyanzhuang in person today to persuade them!"
After listening to Yunxi's words, Wang Gong said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has a body of thousands of gold, how can you personally persuade a few craftsmen?"
Yunxi said: "What? The craftsmen are not worthy of my persuasion? Not to mention that I am persuading as a county prince today, even if I am persuading in the name of the emperor today, so what?"
"Don't craftsmen serve the Ming Dynasty? Is it possible that only civil servants can manage this world?"
Yunxi was very emotional. Since the Tang Dynasty, the status of craftsmen has been reduced year by year, and has even become a despised person. China's technological progress has also become slower and slower.
As for Western countries, in the same situation where they are basically unable to protect the rights and interests of technologically enlightened people, because of the importance and respect for technicians, many people are willing to make technological improvements, and finally surpassed the giant cannibals whose technology was originally superior to Europa.
Chinese people.
After hearing Yunxi's words, Wang Gong didn't know where Yunxi's anger came from. He immediately knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die."
Yunxi realized that this had nothing to do with Wang Gong! Their eunuchs were also among the people who were discriminated against.
So Yunxi immediately helped Wang Gong up and said, "I'm not talking about you. You deserve to die for what you said when you knelt down."
However, Yunxi still said: "I have made up my mind and will definitely go to Heyanzhuang today."
Wang Gong did not dare to go against Yun Xi's words, so he could only prepare to leave the palace incognito. This time, in addition to the guards, Lu Chengfeng and Feng Mo, who were already on duty in the palace, also had to take them with them.
Yunxi returned to the main hall and said to Zhang Wen and other four assistant officials: "I will not comment on the comments in Qianqing Palace if I have something to do in the future."
Zhang Wen replied: "Yes, Your Majesty." Then they continued to work.
It was very common for Yunxi not to criticize and answer the poems for a period of time in the afternoon, or even for the whole afternoon, so the four auxiliary officers did not take it seriously.
Yunxi returned to the side hall and prepared to change clothes and leave the palace. Today, of course, he was traveling incognito. Because Yunxi was going out of the city, he did not even wear the regular clothes of the royal family, but wore the clothes of ordinary nobles.
Before he changed his clothes, Yunlan and his three sisters came to visit Yunxi again. Because the age gap between the first few children of Zhu Biao and the latter ones was too big, Yunxi had always subconsciously thought that his younger sisters were all still there.
They are children, and I don’t have much ability to talk to them.
Knowing that he was mourning Zhu Yuanzhang with them this year, he noticed that his second sister was already fourteen, one year older than Yunying back then, and even the youngest Yunzhi was ten years old.
After that, Yunxi became closer to his three sisters, who often visited him.
Yunxi talked with the three sisters for a while. Yunlan realized that Yunxi might have something to do, so she quickly said goodbye.
Yunxi sent his three younger sisters out of this side hall. However, Yunzhi stayed at the end. Yunlan, the oldest, seemed to be preoccupied and did not notice. Yunyun was also thinking about something, so they did not notice Yunzhi.
Didn't keep up.
Yunzhi watched her two sisters walk away, turned her head and said to Yunxi: "Brother Emperor, are you planning to leave the palace?"
Yunxi looked at Yunzhi's little face and said, "Well, I plan to leave the palace."
"And the emperor is planning to leave the palace incognito, probably because he wants to do something that is not convenient for the ministers to know." Yunzhi continued with a smile.
Yunxi touched Yunzhi's little head and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, you are quite smart. Tell me, what do you want me to bring you from outside the palace?"
Yunzhi was very curious about things outside the palace, and often asked Yunxi to send eunuchs out of the palace to bring some things from outside the palace, so Yunxi thought that she still wanted Yunxi to bring him some things from outside the palace this time.
But Yunzhi actually said: "Brother Emperor, let me follow you out of the palace."
Yunxi's first reaction was: "Nonsense! You're a little girl. I'm not going to see my brothers or Yunying. How can you follow me out!"
Yunzhi said: "If I put on the clothes of this age, I won't be discovered! Last time I went to see the martial arts competition, wasn't it because I wasn't discovered? What's that name? Zhang Wuji's little Taoist priest was not a few steps away from me. No.
Even you didn’t show up?”
"I can definitely pretend to be your brother! I'm sure you won't use your true identity to meet people, brother." She pointed to the clothes on the side, "These are the clothes of ordinary nobles."
Then she saw that Yunxi was not moved at all, so she pulled Yunxi's sleeve and said, "Third brother, let me follow you! The palace is not fun at all! I went to my eldest sister's princess mansion last time.
, I think even the princess’s mansion is much more interesting than the palace!”
Then Yunzhi saw that Yunxi still didn't agree, so she started to cheat again, sitting on the ground and hugging Yunxi's legs without letting go.
Yunxi was annoyed by her tormenting, and he really didn't care much about these rules, as long as he could ensure safety, so he finally said: "Okay, okay, I will take you out of the palace."
Yunzhi immediately stopped sitting on the ground and pretended to cry. She stood up happily and said, "I knew the third brother was the best." Then she went to look for Zhu Biao's clothes in a familiar way.
While Yunxi was changing clothes, he said to Yunzhi: "Fourth sister, if you don't go back this afternoon, won't Yun Bin worry about you?"
Yunzhi also took off her coat and used a screen to change clothes inside. She heard Yunxi's question and said with a smile: "My mother and concubine won't worry! She knows that I come to Qianqing Palace to find you, the emperor." You are here to talk, my mother-in-law wishes I could talk to you more, so why are you worried?"
After a while, the two of them changed their clothes and came to Qianqing Gate to meet the guards. Then they went to the Royal Horse Prison and got in the car and went straight to Heyanzhuang.
Of course Yang Feng recognized Yunzhi. After all, the only princess of similar age in the palace was Yunzhi. This shocked Yang Feng.
But he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he didn't say it out loud. This made Yunzhi think that his disguise was a success.
Yunxi and Yunzhi were sitting in the car. Yunzhi said to Yunzhi: "I have always called myself Mr. Sun. You should be the same as me."
Yunzhi didn't care what she called herself, she cared more about why. She said: "Third brother, why do you call yourself Mr. Sun? Why don't you call yourself Mr. Chang?"
Yunxi said: "Among the prominent nobles in the capital, only my grandfather's family name is Chang. If I call myself Chang, wouldn't it make people mistakenly think that I am a member of the Chang family? That's not good."
"As for why my surname is Sun, then," he looked at Yunzhi's curious face, "I won't tell you!"
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Third brother, you are so bad! You actually deliberately whetted my appetite and then stopped talking, huh!" Then she looked angry.
Yunxi laughed.
After a while, the carriage left the city. Yunxi stopped the carriage, got on a horse, and planned to ride from here to Heyanzhuang.
He hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and it was always uncomfortable to sit in the capital. He insisted on coming to Heyanzhuang outside the city this time, and he also had the idea of going out to get some fresh air.
Yunzhi also got out of the car and said to Yunxi: "Third brother, I also want to ride a horse!"
Yunxi said: "No! Riding a horse is very dangerous. You are too young to be suitable!" Yunxi flatly rejected Yunzhi's request.
Now that they were outside and there were so many people, Yun Zhi felt embarrassed to be coquettish and snorted. She probably wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything when she saw so many guards, so she turned around and got into the carriage.
Yunxi rode the horse happily, and the speed was very fast. The guards had to be versatile to keep up with Yunxi; they also had to be distracted to see if there was anyone around, which was very difficult. The carriage was left behind, Yang Feng was afraid of any accident, so he left a few people to protect the carriage.
After a while, they arrived at Heyanzhuang. Heyanzhuang was not far from the capital. However, although the distance was not far, Yunxi felt more comfortable riding a horse this time, which relieved his resentment of not being able to ride a horse during this period.
Yunxi dismounted and waited for a while, then the carriage arrived belatedly.
Yunzhi got out of the car, looked around, and murmured: "This is what the eldest sister said about the countryside! It's really different from the city."
The guards dispersed around, and Yun Zhi said to Yunzhi: "When you enter the village, don't talk to people casually, you will scare them, and it won't be good if they find out that you are a woman."
"No, don't talk to anyone, just follow me."
Yunxi's expression was very solemn when he spoke. Yunzhi knew that if she violated these words of Yunxi, he would probably be disgusted by Yunxi, and she didn't want to do that.
She is very smart, much smarter than Yunxi. She can always grasp Yunxi's bottom line, so she can always make Yunxi agree to something.
Yunzhi followed Yunxi into the village. Yunxi called Lu Chengfeng and Feng Mo over and asked: "You two have come to the imperial city, who is the head of the village now?"
Lu Chengfeng said: "Master, this is the villain's younger brother Lu Chengyun. He is quite popular in the village, so I made him the head of the village." As he said this, Lu Chengfeng looked at him carefully.
Yunxi was afraid that he would say that he was using power for personal gain.
But how could Yunxi care about who is the head of a small village? As long as it does not affect his purpose. If he even cares about such a small thing, he will be exhausted.
So Lu Chengfeng was worried in vain. Yunxi just asked casually. After asking this question, he asked again: "Are the craftsmen who studied cement still in the original place?"
6 Chengfeng replied: "Yes, Master."
"So all the glass craftsmen have entered the palace?"
"Yes, sir."
As he spoke, Yunxi walked towards where the craftsmen were.
Inadvertently, Yunxi saw Yunzhi looking at things around her with a curious expression: she was curious about everything, but she didn't dare to ask because of Yunxi's words.
Yunxi felt a little pity for her: although the birds in the cage had no worries about food and clothing, and were much happier than most people in the world, they were also deprived of a lot; boys could occasionally go deep into the folk, but women
The child can only stay in the palace until he gets married and has no freedom.
After getting married, even a princess cannot do whatever she wants. There are still many restrictions, unlike a prince.
So Yunxi ordered Yang Feng to follow Yunzhi and answer Yunzhi's doubts.
At this time they came to where the craftsmen were.
Yunxi is also an experienced person now. It can be seen at a glance that these craftsmen who stayed here are not working seriously and are talking lively. However, when he saw Yunxi and the two former village heads,
As soon as he came in, he pretended to be serious about his work, but he couldn't fool Yunxi.
6 Chengfeng called the leader of these craftsmen over, pointed at this man and said to Yunxi: "This man is made by these craftsmen, and his name is Mero."
Then he said to Mero: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Gaoyang of the Ming Dynasty. You are still not polite!" Yunxi planned to play the role of Zhu Gaoxu all the time.
After hearing what Lu Chengfeng said, Melo immediately knelt down and said, "I have met His Highness the County Prince!"
Yunxi looked at the man who was kneeling: he was about forty years old. It seemed that all the craftsmen were of this age. He was not wearing simple but not very clean clothes and his skin was not dark. Yunxi was just here
Before he bowed his head and knelt down, he saw that he looked good and looked honest, but he didn't know if he was just pretending.
Yunxi looked at it for a moment and then said, "Get up."
Mero stood up.
Yunxi looked at him and said, "I heard that you are unwilling to move into Huangcheng. Why?"
