Chapter 275: Self-Taught Without a Teacher
Zhu Houzhao fiddled with the golden rice cake, which was the name he had chosen.
Lift the knife, cut it into small pieces, and place it in the dustpan.
Yan Chengjin and Emperor Hongzhi walked over, and saw a scholar on the side holding a bite of rice cake and crying.
Is it too delicious?
I don't want to cry like this.
"How do you sell these rice flowers?" Emperor Hongzhi's face was slightly teasing.
Yikes...
How does it sound like a father?
When Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi behind the crowd, he was stunned, and he showed a little cunning in horror.
Yan Chengjin knew as soon as he saw that little look that Zhu Houzhao was thinking.
The reader on the side kindly reminded: "Ten taels of silver a piece, Xiao Zhu Xiucai said, this golden rice cake has opened the light, has the effect of refreshing the mind and prolonging life, and you can be lifted after eating, the scholar just accidentally ate a bite and couldn't pay the silver, so he cried like this." ”
Emperor Hongzhi almost jumped up, he suppressed the anger in his heart, this evil son is actually here to eat the people.
Li Dongyang and the others shook their heads and sighed, the prince didn't miss his business, and he went here to cheat.
Yan Chengjin's eyes lit up, Zhu Houzhao is really a "talent", a good rice flower, it was actually made into a cake!
I saw that there were a lot of candied fruits and nuts on these rice flowers.
In the palace, there are local products from all over the world, that is, tribute, and he has seen almonds and walnuts and other miscellaneous foods in the main hall of the East Palace.
"Give me a try, I'll see if it's that magical!" Emperor Hongzhi said coldly, he showed a murderous gaze, and the corners of his mouth sneered, making Zhu Houzhao's hair shrink.
Zhu Houzhao's hands trembled a little, "How much silver do you want?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi's face became more and more gloomy, do you still want to collect my silver?
For the sake of family harmony in the emperor's family, Yan Chengjin explained: "Your Majesty, this cake is calculated according to silver. ”
"It's ten taels."
Zhu Houzhao put the knife down, picked up a piece and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing hurriedly took it and tasted whether it was poisonous first.
"Do you know what the charge is for price gouging?"
For Zhu Houzhao, anything he commits is a whip, so he naturally won't look at Da Ming Law.
"I don't know." Zhu Houzhao stiffened his neck and said: "In this golden rice cake, there are many precious candied fruits and nuts, and it is not expensive to sell for ten taels of silver. ”
Xiao Jing tasted it and confirmed that it was non-poisonous, and then handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi took a bite, clicked, he chewed gently, first with a faint sweetness, biting into the soft and glutinous preserves, and then the crisp almonds.
The taste is really delicious.
The scholar on the side watched Emperor Hongzhi eat such a big bite and became worried for him.
"How? I kid you not! Zhu Houzhao was a little proud.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with great interest and said: "The rice cake is a real rice cake, and it is really delicious, but you really should fight!" ”
Three brocade guards in civilian clothes stepped forward to arrest Zhu Houzhao.
Although Zhu Houzhao is messing around, he has come to the library a lot, and many people know him, and even admire his talent.
The scholar who was familiar with Zhu Hou on the side hurriedly stopped: "Who are you?" Dare to detain people privately, and don't be afraid of me waiting for the official! ”
"Calm down, don't panic, he's my father......" Zhu Houzhao was afraid that these fools would beat Emperor Hongzhi and make a crime of killing his head.
After being in the library for a long time, he has some friendship with the readers here, and he doesn't want to see them in trouble.
Jin Yiwei arrests people, even if they are released, they will be criticized by others, and their reputation will be ruined.
Zhu Houzhao was obediently tied up by Jinyiwei, put into the carriage of Emperor Hongzhi, and the golden cake was taken away.
"Erchen knows that he is wrong, and he will never come to Liangxiang in the future."
In the carriage, Zhu Houzhao obediently knelt in front of Emperor Hongzhi's knees, admitting his mistakes with a sincere attitude, and did not dare to look at Emperor Hongzhi's face.
The distance is too close, and the father can call as soon as he raises his hand.
Yan Chengjin on the side was miserable, and suddenly there was one more person in the carriage, and he had to leave a kneeling position for Zhu Houzhao.
He could only squeeze to the side.
Li Dongyang was on the same side, and he didn't dare to persuade Emperor Hongzhi, His Royal Highness's actions today were too commonplace.
Emperor Hongzhi ate golden rice cakes, "Go back to the palace and send some to Renshou Palace and Kunning Palace, forget it, this thing is too hard, the Queen Mother has a bad mouth, so send it to Kunning Palace." ”
"The father doesn't punish his sons?" Zhu Houzhao was suspicious.
Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "You just kneel in the capital." ”
The carriage was bumpy and undulating, like squatting on a train, which was a great test of human skill.
Yan Chengjin felt a little distressed about Zhu Houzhao.
The floor was hard, the carriage swayed from side to side, and Zhu Houzhao grinned in pain after a while, holding Emperor Hongzhi's knees.
Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's face was wrong, he retracted his hand like lightning.
"If it hurts, get up and sit down." Emperor Hongzhi understated.
Zhu Houzhao's worried face suddenly showed a smile, and he said happily: "Old Gao, you let me go, the palace wants to sit here." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister will get motion sickness when he stands up." Yan Chengjin said thoughtfully.
Emperor Hongzhi saw that Yan Chengjin was in a weak spirit, so he said to Zhu Houzhao: "Let you sit is already Kuanren, and if you have to kneel for a while, just sit on the ground." ”
Zhu Houzhao had a dark face, and he had deep doubts about the plastic father-son relationship.
Emperor Hongzhi opened the curtain, looked at the green mountains outside the window, and asked, "Yan Qing's family, what is planted on the mountains?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, that's corn." Yan Chengjin looked out of the car curtain: "Speaking of which, it can already be picked, dried and ground into powder, and then sent to the palace."
This year's quantity is more, and the price of corn will be much cheaper. ”
Emperor Hongzhi thoughtfully: "After the Great Wall is built in the northwest, corn can be planted?" But I heard that the Hetao is desolate and difficult to cultivate. ”
"In the past, it was, but now there are more oxen and more iron tools, and corn can be cultivated on dry land.
As long as you resist the invasion of the captives, you can have such a scene. Yan Chengjin said.
Li Dongyang said: "To be able to settle tens of thousands of displaced people in Jingxiang, this corn is really a good thing." ”
"The minister thinks that the northwest is desolate, and it will be more prosperous if there is a chamber of commerce in a good township to do business." Yan Chengjin Road.
The construction of the Great Wall can be as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years, and the displaced people stationed in the northwest will settle down.
If the environment in the northwest improves.
The displaced will not flee.
"Or do you want to talk about the concrete factory?" Emperor Hongji asked.
"Your Majesty Shengming, even if it is not handed over to the workshop of Liangxiang, I am afraid that others will not be able to do it, in the whole world, only the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce has engineers."
The formula of concrete, although written on the Song Tiangong.
But the only people who can really do it are Song Jing and a group of engineers in Liangxiang.
In other words, the technology is still in the hands of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce.
"The construction of a concrete factory in the Hetao and the construction of the Great Wall were approved, but the imperial court did not spend any money." Emperor Hongzhi said.
Yan Chengjin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
The northwest is rich in limestone and kaolin, and it is enough to build the Great Wall.
The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is still very weak, and with the commercial territory of civil engineering, it has some more advantages than the Hui merchants and the Jin merchants.
"There are millions of displaced people in Jingxiang, the question is how to transfer to the Hetao?" Li Dongyang said: "The vassal king is still disturbing the people, and there are millions of displaced people, how should they be resettled in the northwest?" ”
The displaced people are crude and barbaric, and the migration of the millions of displaced people who are imprisoned in Jingxiang requires at least 10,000 troops.
"It's better to let Zhang Xian do it, Zhang Xian has settled the displaced people in Shuntian Mansion, and it would be better for him to lead it." Yan Chengjin Road.
"The magistrate of that good township, isn't it going to be replaced?"
Liangxiang is the righteous bird of the Ming Dynasty, and his status in the future is comparable to that of Shuntian Mansion Yin, and this position must be kept for Zhang Xian.
Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty is too worried, now Liangxiang is a thriving scene, there is no need to oversupervise, Zhang Xian went to relocate the displaced people, and he could rush back to Liangxiang in two months." ”
"Zhang Xian is an upright person, and he has resettled the displaced people in Liangxiang, so he is a good candidate." Li Dongyang also felt that Zhang Xian was suitable.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Then order Zhang Xian to be the messenger and go to Jingxiang to migrate the displaced people." ”
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, his eyes moving slightly.
Speaking of which, Zhang Xian is his pending warrior, and he will almost forget about this person if he doesn't mention it.
Lao Gao, this guy, arranged Zhang Xian with Leng Buding again.
"Two million taels of silver, it's not a small amount, it needs to be supervised by one person, can the celebrant have a suitable candidate?"
Emperor Hongzhi's voice was raised a little, so that Xiao Jing, who was sitting outside, could hear it.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave has a big mound, named Xu Kun, which is extremely suitable."
Yan Chengjin said: "There is one person who is more suitable, the imperial history." ”
"Then let Fang Xue supervise the work."
The road from Liangxiang to the capital is long, even if it is a carriage, it will take an hour.
Emperor Hongzhi picked up another piece and chewed it and squeaked, "Who taught you to make this golden rice cake?" ”
"Lao Gao."
"Obviously, His Highness is too smart and self-taught."
