Chapter 539: True Maturity

Zheng He was the first to get off the ship at the busy Quanzhou Port wharf, accompanied by Jin Jiang, observing the ever-changing Quanzhou Port, while carefully watching the soldiers and handlers unloading the boxes of goods brought back from the sea boat.

Originally, according to Zheng He's identity, where was there any need to personally stare at the scene, Jin Jiang also persuaded Zheng He, but the latter said that he was unwilling to leave.

The main thing is that the goods brought back by the ship this time are too valuable.

Have you ever heard of thousands of catties of grain per mu?

At least Zheng He has never heard of it, this is ten times smaller than the current grain production per mu of Daming.

This people regard food as the sky, and food is the life of the people and the root of the country.

Although in addition to these high-yielding plants, Zheng He also brought back a large number of other edible crops in the Americas, such as peppers and peanuts, as well as cocoa, rubber, etc., whether useful or not, Zheng He brought back a large number of all the local products he could find.

Including the local aborigines who were planted and cultivated by the Lianhui, they also deliberately caught a batch.

These are all vital assets in Zheng He's eyes, where do you dare to be sloppy.

was tightly supervised, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and he looked back and looked at the approaching carriage suspiciously.

Jin Jiang, who was still beside him, recognized it with sharp eyes and muttered to Zheng He.

"This is the car of our Quanzhou prefect Zhu Meikun."

Zhu Meikun?

Zheng He frowned, if he remembers correctly, before he left Beijing, Meikun, the second son of the Jin Dynasty, was not outstanding, and he had only been in Quanzhou for three years to be the prefect?

It wasn't until Zhu Meikun in the mouth of the Jin River came out of the car that Zheng He's eyes widened in astonishment and suddenly realized.

The second prince Zhu Wenqi.

"Mikun."

Since Zhu Wenqi is performing his duties as someone else, it is obviously the emperor's arrangement, Zheng He's mind is clear, and he stepped forward to greet politely, but he did not reveal Zhu Wenqi's identity.

But the latter had already stepped up, and grabbed Zheng He's hand.

"Uncle Zheng, you're back."

A sentence of Uncle Zheng, Zheng He's heart is really hot.

The heart in his chest, which was slightly chilled because of Zhu Gaosui's death, warmed a lot.

"Palace, Meikun."

Zheng He grinned: "It's all grown so big, and it's really good to be the prefect of Quanzhou." ”

"It's windy at the port, Uncle Zheng, let's talk in the car."

Zhu Wenqi didn't even look at Jin Jiang on the side, and happily pulled Zheng He to the car, Zheng He was dragged with a wry smile: "Meikun, this batch of goods is very important, I have to arrange it well to be sure." ”

"That's a big deal."

Zhu Wenqi didn't follow, and threw down a sentence: "There are your soldiers in the port, and there is the tolerance of the yamen in our port, what else can there be, and relax, let's go back to the city first and have a few drinks tonight." ”

"Didn't you hear that Liang Daoyi is here, aren't you going to show your face and meet you?"

Anyway, as the prefect of Quanzhou, although it is an occasion to go or not, showing up to entertain is also a fulfillment of the friendship of the landlord, in case this Liang Daoyi went to Nanjing to the Ministry of Rites to say, it always seems that Zhu Wenqi does not understand etiquette.

"How can he have Uncle Zheng, you should be careful."

Zhu Wenqi didn't care: "Let him go to the Ministry of Rites to complain, Uncle Zheng doesn't know anything, the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites is my eldest brother." ”

Zheng He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

This is really time-lapse, and I never thought that the two little guys who were chattering around me and asking for gifts are now all in prominent positions.

A book of the Ministry of Rites, a prefect of Quanzhou, but it's really amazing.

After sitting in the car and sighing for a while, Zheng He suddenly remembered something urgent, glanced at Zhu Wenqi, who was chattering endlessly, and asked in a low voice.

"Second Highness, can you make a reserve today?"

Think about it, the two princes are in such a high position, and then down, what kind of identity should they be.

Joining the cabinet as a university scholar?

Zhu Wenqi, who was still chattering endlessly, was stunned, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "No." ”

But then he sighed: "But this is also good, I didn't understand my father's heart in the past, I just thought that my eldest brother and I couldn't enter my father's eyes, and now I understand my father's good intentions when I'm older."

Since I took up my post in Quanzhou, the work of millions of living beings in Quanzhou has been on my shoulders, and I now have a deep understanding of the feeling of my eldest brother being the prefect in Fengyang.

There is a person named Chen Tianzheng in the last prefect of Quanzhou, he said something I think is particularly touching, he said that he is the prefect of Quanzhou, and he is the first person responsible for the development of Quanzhou.

People have to worry about eating, drinking, development, wealth, livelihood, and work, which is really tiring.

Now it's my turn to be the prefect of Quanzhou, the first responsible person has not become me, I can't sleep even three hours a day, married a daughter-in-law, but I haven't stayed together for a long time before getting married, and then I can also go around Nanjing City to eat some delicious food, and now in addition to the holiday can take the child a little time, other days, that is a little time can not be taken out. ”

Zheng He was silent, and suddenly understood the emperor's painstaking arrangement.

For the position of prince, both sons must conform to the emperor's thoughts.

What is the idea of the emperor?

'I will live up to the people without me. ’

So, regardless of whether the two sons are sincere or false, they must also reach this ideological height and reflect it in their work.

And once you do this at work, over time, this habit will be formed in your heart.

I have to worry about the people all the time.

There is a kind of feedback.

Sooner or later, the identities of the two will be publicized to the world, and that will be praised by all the people.

The character has been set up.

No matter who succeeds as emperor, he must continue to be so good to the people, and there will be no tyrants who are cruel and harmful to the people.

It eliminates the risk of distorting the psychology that may be brought about by sibling rivalries, and then taking office to be brutal and in power.

And what surprised Zheng He even more was Zhu Wenqi's following words.

"Being an official is so tired, how tired it is to be an emperor with my father, one person carries a country, it looks like the scenery is tight, the bitterness and loneliness in it, I am afraid to think about it, the position of the prince, the father and the emperor can give it to whoever he wants, I am in Quanzhou, I can watch the people get more and more moisturized, this heart is already satisfied, not the prince, I will resign early in the future, and it is good to accompany my daughter-in-law and children with peace of mind."

This is what Zhu Wenqi can say from his mouth?

Zheng He looked at Zhu Wenqi in amazement, and he didn't know whether this was true or false for a while.

"Those who can carry a family are called husbands, those who can carry the livelihood of a place are called Qingtian lords, and those who can carry a country are called emperors."

The corners of Zhu Wenqi's mouth were bitter: "Many people, but even the eldest husband can't do well, don't look at the people of Quanzhou praising me as a good official, to be honest, I don't want to be this good official, I feel guilty about my daughter-in-law and children."

Sometimes I often stay up late at night in the office, and I don't even know how to sleep in the office, I am full of grievances and distress and no one can say it, so Uncle Zheng, you are back, I can talk to you.

My daughter-in-law can't say that, my father can't say that, as for my mother, she and my daughter-in-law are exactly the same, she liked to say my father's words back then, and now my daughter-in-law is talking about me, hahaha. ”

Seeing Zhu Wenqi's hearty laughter, Zheng He also laughed.

The clever child back then was already able to understand what responsibility was, and he could also shoulder the responsibility that belonged to his life.

Really matured.
