Time goes back to the day Du Mingen set off.

In Liu Jin's small courtyard in Tianjin, Zhu Houzhao was feasting on all kinds of delicacies in Liu Jin's house, and said while eating: "Still Lao Liu, you will enjoy it, after eating your family's food, I want to pull all the imperial kitchens of the palace to chop, is that what people eat?" ”

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's gluttonous appearance, and then listened to his words, and also smiled.

The level of the imperial kitchen in this palace may not be too good, and this is still the thunder bought by Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of their old Zhu family.

Zhu Yuanzhang divided people into three, six, nine and so on, and even divided them into artisan households, boiled households, military households, etc. according to occupations, etc., and the same is true for cooks and imperial doctors in this palace.

This ancestor was the imperial chef who cooked for the emperor, and the descendants are also imperial chefs.

Originally, it stands to reason that if this is passed down from generation to generation, there should be a bit of craftsmanship or something, and this skill will only become more and more exquisite.

But the fact is the opposite, whether it is the imperial doctor or the imperial chef in this palace, they are basically inferior to the next generation, because no matter what the craftsmanship is, this job will not be lost.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, especially the emperors of the middle and late periods, rarely had long-lived emperors, and basically died at the age of twenty or thirty, like Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor in the back, who fell into the water and died at the age of thirty-one.

The current Hongzhi Emperor only lived for thirty-six years, and the Taichang and Tianqi behind him were as fragile as a woman, and the emperors after the Hongzhi Emperor, except for Jiaqing and Wanli, none of the other emperors lived past forty years old.

This is not that the medical conditions in the Ming Dynasty were relatively poor, you must know that although the emperor was short-lived, but the ministers of the Ming Dynasty had a surprisingly high life expectancy.

The current cabinet is old, Liu Jian lived to be ninety-four years old, Li Dongyang lived to be seventy years old, it is said that he only lived a lot because of his poor health, and as for Xie Qian, who lived thirteen years old, he is also an old birthday star.

From here, it is enough to show that the imperial doctors in the Daming Palace are basically wine bags and rice bags, and there are not many people who have real talents and real learning, or that the medical skills passed on by this family are getting worse and worse.

Practicing medicine requires years of accumulation, especially traditional Chinese medicine, without years of accumulation, he cannot be regarded as a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner at all.

The imperial doctors in the palace, because the times are all imperial doctors, they only treat the emperor, concubines, princes, princesses, etc. in the palace, and it is difficult to accumulate any experience at all.

This may be an important reason for the short life of the Ming emperor.

Some people may say that the life expectancy of the emperor since ancient times is not high, after all, the state affairs are busy, cāo) overwork, and the harem is three thousand beauties, how can he live a long life?

But Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew that although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived, the emperors of the later dynasty were all long-lived, and most of them were long-lived emperors.

Qianlong lived to be nineteen years old, Kangxi and Daoguang lived to be sixty-nine years old, Jiaqing lived to be sixty-one, and Yongzheng lived to fifty, so it can be said that they all lived relatively long.

From here, we can know that there must be a reason for the short life of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as for genetic inheritance, most of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and the like, most of them are also relatively long-lived, and there are many heirs, otherwise the old Zhu family would not have reached the time when the Ming Dynasty fell, and there were nearly one million children of the royal family.

After studying history in later generations, people who like to study history have come to a conclusion that Zhu Yuanzhang has harmed all this, the household registration system he has set, and the descendants of later generations.

Liu Jin shook his head slightly, just seeing Zhu Houzhao having a meal, Liu Jin thought of so much unconsciously.

"Whew~ I'm full, it's so delicious."

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao touched his round belly, and the whole person was satisfied, and he had a beautiful and full meal.

"Next, after this meal, walk a hundred steps to ninety-nine, why don't we take a walk here in Tianjin together?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, thought about it and said.

Zhu Houzhao finally came over, and he still had a lot of things to tell him.

"Live to ninety-nine? Isn't it too long? ”

Zhu Houzhao heard this, thought about it and said.

"Uh... Please forgive your sins. ”

When Liu Jin heard this, sweat broke out slightly on his forehead, this Zhu Houzhao is talking back, he is the crown prince, naturally he is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, and he said that he will live to ninety-nine, if this is serious, he will be killed.

"Haha, look at what scares you, let's go, let's go, let's walk around Tianjin together, I haven't come for a while, this Tianjin looks like it's changed a lot."

Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin's panicked appearance, and immediately laughed happily.

Soon, Liu Jin accompanied Zhu Houzhao for a very leisurely walk and chatted at the same time.

"Tsk, it's still full of vitality here in Tianjin, no matter how you look at it, it's a novelty, it's the same on this day, what is this new house used for? I remember it was a wasteland. ”

Walking on the spacious cement road, Zhu Houzhao pointed to a house by the sea and said.

This house is very neatly planned, all of them are two-story small western-style buildings, with yards, built of reinforced concrete, the bricks are green bricks, the outside is made of lime white, and the windows are made of glass.

"This house is a community called Moon Bay, which is a specially built house that is ready to be sold."

Liu Jin smiled and replied.

"Sell the house?"

"How many houses do you build at a time just to sell?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was slightly stunned and said.

"Of course, otherwise why do I build so many houses, the location of Moon Bay is very good, very close to Tianjin Port, shipyard, Tianjin cement factory, and it is a sea view room, and the meaning of the sea view room is by the sea, and you can see the sea."

"In addition, the traffic here is very convenient, I have already paved the roads with cement, and this house is built according to the format I designed, so this house has to be sold for a few hundred taels of silver."

Liu Jin looked like a matter of course, and then began to introduce the geographical location, traffic conditions, and so on of the Moon Bay house.

"A few hundred taels of silver?"

"How is it possible, the house in the capital, even if it is a big house in Sanjin, it can be bought for two hundred taels of silver, and you sell it for a few hundred taels of silver, who will buy your house?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

Although he doesn't like to read, he knows a lot of things, and he also knows the price of the house in the capital.

"Now, you're wrong, this house isn't my house, it's ours."

"When we first came to Tianjin, we bought land on a large scale, and millions of taels of silver were smashed into it, and the biggest landlord in Tianjin is you."

"The houses built here are naturally yours, and I don't have as many shares as yours."

Liu Jin shook his head again and again and said.

"Is it mine?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then his little eyes stared at this house all of a sudden, and then counted carefully: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, **ten..."

"I don't need to count them, there are a total of one hundred and ten houses in this Moon Bay, and I am ready to sell each house for one hundred and ten taels of silver."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and immediately couldn't help laughing, this Zhu Houzhao, after hearing that these houses were his, the whole person's eyes seemed to be full of silver.

"One hundred and ten, every one hundred and ten taels, this is a total of more than 700,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Houzhao did a good math, silently calculated in his heart, and calculated the approximate idea at once, then thought about it and said: "Lao Liu, can this house of one hundred and ten taels of silver be sold?" ”

"Of course we can sell it, but if we don't believe it, how about we make a bet?"

Liu Jin said very confidently.

"Liu Jin, come here, this house of one hundred and ten taels of silver is still here in Tianjin, can you buy it?"

Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin's confident appearance, touched his chin, thought about it and asked Liu Jin behind his thighs.

"I won't buy it, a fool will buy it, there are more than 100 taels of silver in the capital enough to buy a big house in the inner city."

Liu Jin thought about it and shook his head and said, he has a lot of houses in the capital, and he knows the housing prices in the capital very well, so he won't be stupid to come to Tianjin to buy such a house.

"Haha, I'll just say, how can anyone buy an expensive house."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he suddenly became much more confident.

"Do you dare to make this bet with me?"

Liu Jin smiled slightly, still very confidently said.

"Bet on it, say, bet on what?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately replied that he didn't believe that someone would buy an expensive house.

"Bet a thousand taels of silver, little gambler."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"One thousand taels is too little, I finally have a chance to win the silver of you, a rich man, at least ten thousand taels of silver."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he shook his head again and again and said.

Well, Zhu Houzhao is also rich now, just a glass factory will make ten thousand gold, and the monthly dividends make Emperor Hongzhi regret that he only asked him for one million taels of silver.

What's more, there are many industries in Tianjin, any one of them is a hen that lays golden eggs, and he knows the monthly income very well, so he also knows that the Liu Jin in front of him is also a real rich man, and he is very rich.

"Okay, it's a word, this house will be on sale in a few days, and we'll know when the time comes."

When Liu Jin heard this, he nodded and agreed.
