Chapter 75: Restoration of People's Livelihood
After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked at the three brothers, and when he saw that they breathed a sigh of relief, he shook his head funny.
In the end, he is still a child, and he has never tasted the taste of being in power alone in the local area.
The second child said: "Then I'll rest assured, big brother, you have to hurry up!" I'm not at ease with myself.
The third said: "I don't want to go, if I really want to go, let's stay close to Nanjing."
The fourth said: "Big brother, I'm going to guard the frontier!" ”
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "You still don't know how happy it is to control the place and how happy it is to have power in your hands, and I guess you don't want to let go when the time comes."
The three brothers looked at each other and said, "We listen to the eldest brother at all times." ”
Zhu Biao looked at his younger brothers and said, "Don't worry, the world is very big, and the eldest brother will not treat you badly!" ”
Zhu Biao left his three younger brothers to eat a mouthful of food, and told them to rest for a day tomorrow, and then go to the army for training the day after tomorrow.
After they left, Zhu Biao sighed, and for some reason he was a little empty.
Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin next to him and asked, "How is Li Qi?" ”
Liu Jin took a step forward and said: "If it looks very miserable, but if you look at the injury, it's just a skin injury." ”
Zhu Biao laughed and said: "It's just for show, if it's really broken, this palace has to be careful of Li Shanchang!" ”
Liu Jin glanced at the sky and said, "Master, let's go into the house when it's cold." ”
Zhu Biao nodded and went back to the house, because he had just slept and let people light the candle, and began to deal with the report sent by Lan Yu today.
The next morning, after Zhu Biao woke up, he faintly heard the sound of foreign objects, Zhu Biao sat up, and Yunjin, who had been guarding, heard the movement and walked in.
first poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Zhu Biao, then picked up the bottle from the side, Zhu Biao rinsed his mouth and spit out the water, and Yun Jin waited for him to put on his underwear.
Zhu Biao asked, "What are you doing in the outhouse?" ”
Yun Jin explained: "The Ministry of Industry has sent your armor, and they are watching!" ”
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and a few days ago he announced that someone had measured his waist size, saying that he wanted to make armor specifically for him.
Zhu Biao naturally had a strong interest in armor, so he didn't wear any coats, so he hurriedly put on his shoes and walked out.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw two sets of armor, one silver and one bright yellow!
Everyone hurriedly greeted Zhu Biao when they saw it: "See Your Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Get up, how come there are two sets of this?" ”
The squire of the Ministry of Engineering on the side stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Highness, the golden armor is what you wore when you swore to go on the expedition and triumphant, and the silver armor is what you wore on the battlefield." ”
Zhu Biao nodded, Da Ming's armor is mainly silver and white, the bright yellow is too shiny, if you wear it on the battlefield, it is clearly mocking the enemy, if you are not blind, you will shoot arrows towards this!
Zhu Biao stroked the cold iron armor and said, "These two sets are exactly the same except for the color?"
The squire of the Ministry of Works replied: "The style is the same. In order to reduce the burden on His Royal Highness, the materials used in the golden armor are less, and they are lighter, and more attention is paid to the polishing of details! ”
The silver armor is made by the best armor caster in my Ming Dynasty, and it is made of real materials, as long as His Highness is dressed neatly, the stray arrows on the battlefield will definitely not be able to break this layer of armor!
Zhu Biao photographed the gold armor, which is the gold plating of the iron armor, in order to show the noble appearance.
Zhu Biao picked up the helmet, and the waiter on the side said: "This is a golden phoenix winged helmet, the front of the helmet is decorated with the statue of the gods, and there is a fire-spitting golden dragon on the left and right, and the dragon body spreads its wings, like phoenix wings."
Zhu Biao nodded and looked at the armor, which was covered with fish-scale armor, arranged in layers, and decorated with a golden dragon on the left and right sides of the chest.
The placket, collar, shoulders, and bottom edge of the upper body are all edged with red gold cloud dragon pattern, and the bottom edge is wider. The shoulders are golden beast-headed shoulder armor with red shoulder tassels.
There are four nail flower-shaped gilt copper belt eyes in the middle of the belt body, three gilt copper round belt plates on each side, and a square buckle under it, which can be used to hang bow bags, quivers, sabers and other weapons.
With a pair of gilded copper belts at both ends, shaped like a leather belt "tart tail", all engraved with dragon patterns, one end is attached to a hook.
Zhu Biao was a little dizzy when he heard this, glanced at Liu Jin, and when he nodded, Zhu Biao smiled and asked which Ministry of Industry official was named, and then asked him to step down.
After all, people come here early in the morning to wait, isn't it just to make a good impression in front of him?
After he stepped back, Liu Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, do you want to try?" The slaves and maidservants had learned how to put on armor. ”
Zhu Biao said Let's try it, it's easy to say, but wearing armor is really not so easy to wear, and without help, I'm afraid I can't wear it on my own.
Zhu Biao is wearing gold armor, of course, it is said that the gold armor is actually more red, but the gold is more dazzling at a glance.
At this time, Chang Yuchun and others came, and when they entered the main hall, they saw His Royal Highness the Prince, who was dressed in gold armor and majestic.
Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Your Highness is heroic in armor, and he is worthy of being my general tomorrow!" ”
Lan Yu and the others bowed their heads and drank: "See General Tiance!" ”
When Yunjin Nuanyu and the others saw this scene, tears were about to flow out, but fortunately, Liu Jin reminded them that it was time to prepare tea, and they were reluctant to go on.
Zhu Biao also laughed a few times with satisfaction: "Let's get up, the Ministry of Engineering sent two sets of armor this morning, and the palace just gave it a try." ”
Zhu Biao moved his body, feeling a little inflexible, and even if it was Jin Jia, he felt a little heavy, but he did have a strong sense of security.
Seeing that Zhu Biao had already been dressed, Chang Yuchun said: "There is actually nothing urgent today, since Your Highness has put on armor, it is better to go to the camp outside the city to inspect it, and let the soldiers see the majesty of Admiral Tiance!" ”
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "It's okay, then let's go and have a look." ”
In addition to the city directly, Zhu Biao walked along the way, Nanjing City is far more prosperous than in previous years, and the sound of buying and selling, shouting, and bargaining on the street...... Together; In the hotel, Xiao Er shuttled quickly with wine and food, and the sound of guessing boxing was heard from time to time.
The houses on both sides are lined up, with tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses and so on.
In the store, there are specialized in silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense paper horses, etc., in addition, there are also medical clinics, cart repair, fortune telling, face trimming, and all walks of life.
There are businessmen doing business, there are books watching the street scene, there are hawkers, there are family members who ride in a sedan chair, there are monks who carry baskets, there are tourists from other places who ask for directions, there are street children who listen to stories, there are children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants, there are disabled old people who beg on the edge of the city, men, women and children, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything.
The brilliant sunlight sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the quiet and comfortable smiling faces, all of which reflected the people of the Ming Dynasty, were no longer the fourth-class Han people of the Yuan Dynasty.
