On May 22 of the ninth year of Jianwen, just in time for the death of Emperor Taizu Gao in the ninth year, Zhu Yunwen led a group of clan relatives to visit the filial piety tomb first, and then held a grand sacrifice in the Fengxian Palace.

This was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that no officials from the Ministry of Rites participated in the ceremony, and only a number of auxiliary ministers of the cabinet accompanied the sacrifice.

When the ceremony was over, Zhu Yunwen set up a family banquet in the Huagai Hall and entertained all the clan relatives.

It's just that this meal, the big guys who eat are a little upset in their hearts.

As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a thief.

The relationship between Zongrenfu and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, has been very tense over the years, and now that the emperor is beckoning the big guy to eat, there is always a feeling of Hongmen dancing with a sword.

"I said quit drinking a few years ago, and today my uncles and brothers forgive me, and I will replace wine with tea."

The Son of Heaven sat in the hall, and Zhu Yunwen first confessed.

"Before the banquet, I set the tone, today I only talk about family affairs, not court rituals, uncles and brothers can call me a Yun Wei, don't call Your Majesty the emperor these honorific titles."

Zhu Yunwen said modestly and politely, but no one took his words seriously.

Many people even pouted secretly, opened their mouths to their uncles and brothers, and closed their mouths to allow their nicknames, but you took out the word 'I', one bite at a time, as if others didn't know your identity.

Slander is slander, the big guy still responded, and then let go of his hands and feet, picked up the wine glass, and saluted Zhu Yunwen together.

The wine glass was put down, and the big guy began to stuff it into his mouth.

Hurry up and eat, and withdraw when you are full.

The style of the clansmen made Zhu Yunwen not know how to speak for a while.

I had to look at Zhu Zhi, expecting the latter to start talking.

In the end, it was still a confidant to rely on, Zhu Zhi took his gaze and realized in his heart, coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, minister..."

"Uncle Zhi can call Yunwen, don't be like this."

The uncle and nephew shirked it in a smug manner, and Zhu Zhi responded: "That, Yun... Yun Bing.

Those of us who are uncles recently plan to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing, because it involves the relocation of some people, so Ying Tianfu can't approve it, and this matter was originally planned to be reported to the General Administration Department and transferred to the cabinet. ”

When he said this, Zhu Zhi himself said it awkwardly, and Zhu Yunwen listened awkwardly.

But the latter still had a warm smile on his face, and listened carefully.

"Oh, what are the uncles going to do when they are going to buy land? As I remember, the Zongren Mansion is no longer involved in the grain trade. ”

"Hehe, isn't this the last few years that I have spare money in my pocket."

Zhu Zhi explained, expressing his thoughts: "In addition, there are more children in each family, and we all want to build a polo field, play polo, or play Keju or something."

You also know that in addition to the annual Zongxun competition, our clan relatives in Beijing don't have much fun, so we came up with such a reason. ”

Polo field, Kemari?

Zhu Yunwen was slightly stunned, he really hadn't paid attention to amateur entertainment for so many years.

If Zhu Zhi hadn't opened this sentence today, Zhu Yunwen would have forgotten about the entertainment activities of these ancients.

"Good thing, it should be supported."

Without even the slightest hesitation, Zhu Yunwen agreed.

"How much land are you going to use?"

At this time, those clan relatives who were immersed in eating also stopped their chopsticks and looked up at Zhu Yunwen in some surprise.

Today, the emperor took the wrong medicine, why is he so easy to speak?

Or was he scolded when he was worshipping his father just now?

Occupy an area to build a polo field, which is a major event that affects production, the land in the suburbs of Beijing is the heart of the common people to survive, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in Nanjing dare to occupy and merge at will.

"Probably need, more than a hundred acres."

After reporting this number, Zhu Zhi glanced at Zhu Yunwen a little cautiously, and said with little confidence: "If there are more, sixty or seventy acres is also okay." ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but be careless, and when Zhu Yunwen heard more than a hundred acres, the smile on his face froze.

It's just a kick, where can you use that big piece?

Immediately, Zhu Yunwen came back to his senses, this group of clan relatives wanted to play polo, which was more than dozens of people in later generations who ran on two legs.

"A hundred acres, become! Yes. ”

Zhu Yunwen had the intention to refuse, but after the words came to his lips, he changed his words.

"For this 100 acres of land, I asked the Imperial Front Division to choose the land, and the cost of relocation and compensation does not need to be paid by the uncles, but from the internal funds."

With these words, the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became lively.

The big guys thanked each other with smiles.

It's rare that the emperor, who has always been very restrictive to his relatives, is so generous this time, it's really dawn.

Seeing the big guy so happy, Zhu Yunwen felt that the money was well spent.

There are only about 100 acres of land left and right, and even if Zhu Yunwen buys it at a premium of three or five times, it will only be 10,000 or 20,000 yuan of silver.

Compared to the money in his pocket now, it is worth nothing.

Pay more, so that the people will feel much better, and by the way, it can be regarded as giving birth to the first batch of demolition households in the Ming Dynasty.

If there is no land, every household will share a few thousand taels of silver, and it would be good to do a business, right?

"Uncle Zhi said that he would let the little brothers in the family play polo and bow in vain, which gave me a wake-up call."

Think about it, Zhu Yunwen plans to push out the sport of football.

"I really have a little suggestion here, it's about Keju, including the rules, the way of playing, we can improve it, I'll write it down when I get back and send it to you."

"Cheng, it's all as you say."

Anyway, you spent the money, and you approved the land, isn't it a trivial matter of changing the rules of the game, the rules of the world are all set by you, and it's not bad.

A group of people clamored and raised their wine glasses one after another, and saluted Zhu Yunwen again.

"Don't say anything, brother, it's all in the wine."

As soon as Zhu Gaosui opened his mouth, he was slapped by his father on the head.

"Bastard, is it your turn to speak?"

"Dad, don't I speak on behalf of our third generation."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Yunwen without hesitation: "Brother, you said yes." ”

A sentence of the third generation made Zhu Yunwen feel a little emotional in an instant.

"Gao Sui didn't say that I didn't even find out, the third generation of our old Zhu family has really become adults one by one, and they have each started a family and raised children."

Zhu Yunwen sighed from the bottom of his heart: "For so many years, I, the head of the family and the emperor, have not done too well.

It is also difficult to make a decision about the things that happened before, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat.

So it is inevitable that there will be a lot of separation with the family.

Just like this time, Uncle Zhi said that you big guys were discussing buying a piece of land to come down, but he didn't say anything about it in advance, and he didn't take it out until today. ”

The heart-to-heart words made all the clan relatives feel a little at a loss when they heard it.

"If you talk about responsibility, it should be the fault of the minister."

At this time, Zhu Di stood up and took Zhu Yunwen's self-blame on himself.

"The minister is the head of the Zongren Mansion, and he is the head of the princes, both public and private, and the ministers failed to take care of it, resulting in so many unpleasant things."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Zhi also took over the conversation, and he also expressed his guilt.

"Don't say this, don't say this."

Zhu Yunwen waited for the two of them to finish 'self-blame', and hurriedly waved his hand to divert the topic: "If you continue to talk about it, this atmosphere should be tense again."

Let him pass the past, fortunately, now I see that all the uncles have stabilized, and the imperial merchants are becoming more and more prosperous. ”

I don't know why, the big guy's eyelids began to throb suddenly.

How can we talk about making money?

Looking at the emperor's meaning, it can't be because of the silver in their pockets.

I haven't had time to make much money over the years, and besides, don't you still send most of it into your pockets.

I haven't seen anyone show off their wealth in front of the emperor, so how can they still be remembered.

I want my life!
