35. It's time to make a choice
"Dare to ask, if you sign this contract, can the treatment promised by the court really be realized?" Some onlookers asked.
"Of course, the treaty is clearly written. Can you ask this Mr. Xia what his contract is? And there are so many people who have witnessed it again, the first to join the dart game of the imperial station. This is a great moment for the Ming Dynasty, and it will not break the contract. "Yangzhou prefect road.
"Come and show the official, how many places are left?" Ma Wensheng said very badly at this time, "It doesn't seem to be much." ”
Zhu Houzhao hid his face and snickered, this guy is really crazy!
"I want to join, I want to join!" One shouted loudly.
"Then may I ask, is your dart game or tooth shop the same size as Mr. Xia?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
"No, it's much smaller!" The man was honest, but a little frustrated.
"Then don't find someone to partner with, what's the frustration here. If it's too late and you can't find a partner, there's really no chance. Zhu Houzhao woke up with a word.
"Hurry up, old man, we're on the opposite side. You see if you want to ......."
"Wait, we're two."
"The two of us merge ......"
……
"Don't make any noise, you guys hurry up and decide. In a few days, Bengong and Master Ma will return to Beijing to die. Zhu Houzhao made up for everyone again.
"Of course, I won't be doing it today. If you want to join the imperial court, you have to do it as soon as possible. I'll see you tomorrow. Zhu Hou looked at the guards on both sides and said, "Close the door, it's not good to have so many people in front of the yamen!" ”
The crowd dispersed, leaving only a sigh. Today's Yangzhou City restaurants and teahouses are full. Don't ask why, talk about business and don't go here and there. In order to negotiate the merger, these dart players don't know how many people they have to find and drink a few times a day. But you can't get drunk yet. If you're drunk, you'll miss tomorrow's hour.
Liu Jin wondered why it went so smoothly this time.
"Your Highness, why, this time I came to Yangzhou to do things so smoothly. Could it be that they were all intimidated by His Highness's prestige? Liu Jin said flatteringly.
"Of course not, because these benefits we have formulated are good!" Ma Wensheng said confidently, "Of course it was the hereditary official position that played a role!" And for them, although there is a give-and-take, the part they get is not easy for everyone to resist. ”
"Is it because of the imperial food that has been eaten for generations?" Zhu Houzhao didn't understand very well.
"Your Highness may not understand that for many people, it is an honor to eat imperial food. It's an honor for people who are born into ordinary families. Marven said, "Just like that stinky boy in my family, he wants to be a royal guard." ”
"Oh! I see. Zhu Houzhao nodded.
Since it's almost done, it's better to go to Daming Temple to have a look. This Daming Temple is said to have been a place where Jianzhen lectures, so it is worth visiting.
Ma Wensheng and Zhu Houzhao went to Daming Temple with leisure. In front of the archway of the courtyard wall outside the temple, a pair of stone lions are so angry!
The pair of ears in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is also full of momentum! The pine and cypress on both sides, a good winding path leads to the secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep.
Entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there are three gilded Buddha statues, which make people awe-inspired. There are three small Buddha statues on each side, and they all look very imposing.
Of course, Liu Jin was not in the mood to see the scenery in Daming Temple, but just followed Zhu Hou to pretend and worship the Buddha statue.
"Master Ma, when I return to the capital, I will tell my father that the emperor will carry out the delivery and delivery of letters at this post station all over the country, so that it can bring a lot of benefits to the treasury!" Zhu Houzhao and Ma Wensheng chatted while walking.
"But I think that if it is carried out in an all-round way, there will be more horses in various places, and won't this increase the burden of raising horses?" Ma Wensheng said with a stumbling tongue.
"That's what you're talking about! I've long had a way to deal with it, have you ever seen a cart without a horse? Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"Without a horse, will the cart still go?" Ma Wensheng felt that Zhu Houzhao was joking.
"Of course, but it's a secret." Zhu Houzhao said.
"Don't you use a horse-drawn cart?" Ma Wensheng scratched his head and said, "This official has never seen these cars. If Your Highness finds someone to make it, you must give this official a good look. Of course, Ma Wensheng is full of curiosity about new things, and of course he prefers to believe that there are no such things.
After the two of them left, Liu Jin carefully tasted Zhu Houzhao's words and the iron wheels made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago. Liu Jin was a little puzzled, why did these strange things always make His Highness full of curiosity?
On the contrary, Zhu Houzhao gradually lost interest in the novelties he carefully collected. You must know that it was not like this before, Liu Jin thought that he could always grasp Zhu Houzhao's curiosity. But now, it doesn't seem to be the case.
This weighing pole, which was originally operated by him Liu Jin, has now become a balance, and the balance is still tilting.
In short, Liu Jin was a little difficult to understand. Why do these seemingly miraculous, unorthodox, and whimsical things Zhu Houzhao have such a strong interest.
The next day, many people arrived at the entrance of the government office one after another. Naturally, they joined the imperial station, and they already deeply felt that joining the station was the most correct. In contrast, if they had the protection of the imperial court to do things, many things would actually be much easier.
"Don't worry, line up and sign up one by one." The official on duty at the gate of the yamen shouted.
"After registering, I will go back and wait for the news, and the adults above will review them one by one, and if you pass the review, you will naturally be happy to join the station."
Even if it is to be audited, these people are still very willing. After all, the strength of several mergers can basically pass the review of the imperial court. So, for them, the review is actually a formalistic process, and it's not a big deal.
Of course, for Zhu Houzhao, this is not the same for the imperial court. You must know that if the imperial court takes on the merger itself, it will cause contradictions between the various dart games. And whether they have been entangled before and things like that, it will be quite troublesome to solve. Therefore, instead of handling the tricky things yourself, it is better to let them solve them before they come in, which also saves manpower, material resources and time.
For the long distance of transportation, horses are mainly used, and this short distance is naturally manpower, of course, he has not fully paid attention to the true meaning of that picture. Anyway, before he came, he knew that he could make iron horses that people could ride on them out of iron. Well, let's call it the Iron Horse for now!
