It was a carriage pulled by four tall horses, and it was slowly driving on the wide and flat asphalt road of Nanjing City under the garrison of hundreds of Jinyi guards.

You read that right, the asphalt road, the first asphalt road in the Ming Dynasty.

The developed use of honeycomb coal led to the discovery of coal and asphalt by workers in the Ming Dynasty, which was then used to build a new Chang'an Avenue in Nanjing.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first month of the 35th year of the Emperor's reign, a day when he stepped on the tail of the New Year, for Zhu Wenkui, this is the day he left Beijing to serve as the prefect of Fengyang.

After several years of criminal litigation in Nanjing, he faced too much darkness that he couldn't bear to look at, and he grew up quickly, Zhu Yunwen decided to give him a house to practice.

Although Fengyang belongs to Nanzhili, it is not a rich place, even if he is the ancestral land of the old Zhu family.

In terms of humanities, Fengyang is definitely a place of outstanding people, and the states and counties under its jurisdiction have produced three great monarchs in history: Liu Bang, Cao Cao, and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although it is all a rebel party.

It's a pity that Fengyang seems to have used all his luck to give birth to the Heavenly Proud Lord, but the living environment is extremely bad.

From the three years and two droughts in the Hongwu year, to the Huaisi water, and then to Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne, the water level of the Yangtze River collapsed after months of heavy rain, and the only house in Nanzhili was also Fengyang.

Fengyang has a Zhu Emperor, and there are nine years of famine in ten years.

This is a very heart-piercing proverb, and in essence, whether it is Taizu or the successor Zhu Yunwen, they have not stopped transforming Fengyang for decades.

Repair rivers, build embankments, and expand water conservancy.

Flood control and drought control are both grasped, and if you are an inland plain house, there is no reason for natural disasters such as earthquakes and landslides.

In this way, Fengyang has been stable for many years, and the development of these years has also been stable and progressive, and the results are gratifying.

The carriage is wide, and there are a total of four people sitting at three stations, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Wenqi and Shuangxi.

"Sending you out of Beijing today, going to Fengyang, you must be cautious, and think about the hundreds of thousands of people in Fengyang on your shoulders."

Zhu Yunwen chattered, and took the trouble to explain over and over again, Zhu Wenkui listened honestly and nodded again and again.

"Emperor, you're out of the city."

After the convoy left Nanjing, a small voice sounded outside the carriage, reminding Zhu Yunwen that for safety reasons, it was time to let Zhu Wenkui leave the palace.

"I'll tell you both a story."

Zhu Yunwen did not choose to let Zhu Wenkui leave quickly, but shouted to Zhu Wenkui, who was about to get up, and made the latter laugh.

My father always liked to tell some small stories, although in retrospect, there was a lot of truth in them.

Zhu Yunwen organized the language, and the majestic voice said a fairy tale of the Zhu family.

"There used to be a shepherd who was grazing sheep on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain were the villagers farming.

One day the sheep baby saw a wolf on the top of the mountain, frightened and shouted that the wolf came, the villagers at the foot of the mountain picked up the farm tools and ran to the mountain, and when they reached the top of the mountain did not see the wolf, they asked the sheep baby, and the child said that the wolf was scared away.

A group of people comforted the frightened child.

When the villagers left, the wolf came back again, and the child called the wolf again, and the villagers gathered up the mountain again, but still did not see the wolf, and asked the child, and the wolf ran away. The villagers were very tired from climbing the mountain, so they were very unhappy and severely reprimanded the children.

After the villagers left, the wolf came back again, and the child shouted that the wolf was coming, but none of the villagers went up the mountain to help, and finally the child was eaten by the wolf. ”

This story is taken from teaching children to come as an honest wolf, but it was changed by Zhu Yunwen.

The two brothers Wen Kui and Wen Qi looked at each other, and they both saw the look of thought in each other's eyes.

It's just a story, because it doesn't fit any logic, and it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

The wolf is coming, how can it give the villagers such enough time to assemble and go up the mountain.

The sheep herding baby is herding the sheep, why doesn't the wolf eat the sheep and wait to eat the child?

When the sheep herder found the wolf, he did not follow the villagers down the mountain for the first time.

All kinds of unreasonableness make this just a story for children, but it does not prevent the truth contained in this story from being worth extending.

"The wolf is our enemy, and our enemy, often cunning, can not kill you once or twice, but he will wait, three times or four, or even more.

The first call for help and the second call for help from the sheep baby scared the wolf away, and also made the child think in his heart that when he encountered danger for the third and fourth time, he could wait for the help he wanted, forming a dependence and ignoring the unknown of danger.

The villagers are our helpers and friends, but our friends will not always help us, and we are the only ones who can help us out of danger. ”

Zhu Yunwen used the behavior of the three identities in the story to tell three superficial truths, and used them as a message.

"And for me and your brothers, we must find out who is the enemy and who is the friend.

For the country, it is even more necessary to understand the relationship between friend and foe, the enemy here is just a pronoun, not necessarily the enemy country, nor an army aggressor, anything that may cause problems in the country is the enemy.

And the best way to govern the country is friends, villagers, who can help us drive away the enemy and eliminate the danger.

We need to follow through on good policies and be with our friends at all times, rather than putting them on the shelf and discarding them when we have driven them away.

When you go to Fengyang, I hope you will know and admonish yourself. ”

Zhu Wenkui took a deep breath, lifted his slightly sour nose, and got up to bow: "The sons must not forget the teachings of their father, always remember the weight on their shoulders, and remember the responsibility and mission of being a parent official of a government." ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his hand and smiled: "Go ahead." ”

"I hope that my father and emperor will take care of the dragon's body, and my son will leave."

Solemnly kowtowed three times, Zhu Wenkui got up and looked at Zhu Wenqi, and said softly: "The eldest brother is going, the second brother Lao is serving in front of his father, and the eldest brother is here to thank you." ”

Seeing that Zhu Wenkui wanted to make a move, Zhu Wenqi hurriedly got up and stopped him, and returned the salute: "The eldest brother is serious, serving his father and the emperor is filial piety, which is the foundation of the son of man. ”

After the two brothers said goodbye, Zhu Wenkui pushed open the door and walked down the steps from the wheel, not far away, a new carriage and a team of guards were waiting, they would be responsible for escorting Zhu Wenkui to Fengyang, and at the same time, they would also stay in Fengyang.

On the side of the carriage, Zhu Wenkui saw Yu Qian.

The two looked at each other and smiled, bowing their heads in tacit agreement like old friends for many years, and then bowed to Zhu Yunwen's driver, turned around and got into the car, and slowly drove away.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace."

Shuangxi looked at the night and was a little worried, so he urged: "It's a cold winter, and it's late at night, and the slave maid is afraid that the cold will invade the holy body." ”

"Let's go back to the palace."

Zhu Yunwen held the curtain and watched quietly, until there was no longer the shadow of Zhu Wenkui's carriage at the end of his sight.

"The child is older."
