Chapter 139: The Greenhouse
Zhu Xu returned to Jinghuan Palace, lay on the sleeping chair, and tapped his fingers on the edge of the chair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is not easy to send 30,000 people to the DPRK, even if the silver rings and the food and salary are all borne by the DPRK, it is a huge project.
"Your Highness."
Cao Wenzhao quietly walked in front of Zhu Xu and looked at Zhu Xu with some curiosity.
Zhu Xu raised his head and said, "Are things outside the city ready?" ā
Cao Wenzhao was full of confidence and said: "It's all ready, a drill has been carried out several times, and the artillery has also been dummy, which should be able to open the eyes of that Jin Daren." ā
Zhu Xu is not worried about this, the DPRK's military strength is weak, and it can't even do basic defense, let alone artillery, arquebuses and other 'advanced' firearms.
"Keep an eye on me, tell me as soon as there is a letter from Liaodong." Zhu Xu said, the most important thing now is Sun Chengzong's attitude, as long as he has his support, Xiong Tingbi will basically go to North Korea.
"Yes, Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao agreed, and then said: "Your Highness, the three adults of Honglu Temple have all entered the palace, as if they are going to sue His Highness." ā
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, I've already said it on the imperial brother's side, don't pay attention to them." ā
Zhu Xu snatched the power of Honglu Temple's reception so simply and rudely, which naturally made Honglu Temple very dissatisfied, but they were helpless, because they wanted to maintain the face of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty and couldn't offend His Royal Highness King Hui too much.
Therefore, the only thing they can do is to complain to the emperor and ask for power.
Things were also according to Zhu Xu's expectations, the adults of Honglu Temple didn't get what they wanted, and left in disgrace.
Zhu Xu rested for a while, and after eating, he went to Kunning Palace again. Empress Zhang's due date is just around the corner, and he is very worried about Empress Zhang, so he has to look at it a few times a day to rest assured.
Empress Zhang naturally knew that he had not received the Korean mission in accordance with the rituals set by Honglu Temple, and she was inevitably reprimanded.
With Zhu Xu's two-skinned face in front of Queen Zhang, he naturally promised one on his face and two in his heart.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and Zhu Xu came out of Kunning Palace wrapped in a thin cloak.
"Your Highness, I've got a letter."
As soon as Zhu Xu left the gate of Kunning Palace, Cao Huachun trotted over and said in a low voice.
Zhu Xu's expression moved, and he said, "Quickly bring it to me." ā
Cao Huachun glanced around, handed the letter to Zhu Xu, and lifted the lantern in his hand to the side of Zhu Xu's face.
Zhu Xu opened the letter, scanned it quickly, and felt relieved after reading it. This Lord Sun was also 'trustworthy', and indeed agreed to his request, and the letter said that his recommendation excerpt was sent at the same time as this letter, and that the excerpt should have arrived at the palace before the letter.
"So, the imperial brother has already received his fold."
Zhu Xu's eyes flashed, he had already done what he had to do, and the rest depended on the impetus of the foreign minister and Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.
"Let's go."
Zhu Xu put the letter in the lantern and lit it, and said with his hand behind his back.
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu's carriage appeared in front of the post house.
"Your Highness." Kim Chung-sun saluted respectfully.
Zhu Xu lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Lord Jin, let's go, take you to the Qingqing." ā
"Outing?" Jin Zhongshan was stunned, this is almost winter, what kind of green?
However, Zhu Xu didn't explain, put down the curtain, and the carriage rolled forward.
Jin Zhongshan's face froze, after last night, he had already inquired about His Royal Highness King Hui, and naturally it was all news.
He was shocked by the 'boldness' of His Royal Highness King Hui, and at the same time, he also understood more that His Royal Highness King Hui was deeply favored by the Emperor and Empress of the Ming Dynasty, so he trusted him a little more in his promise yesterday.
He beckoned the carriage and said with a calm expression: "Follow His Royal Highness King Hui." ā
Zhu Xu's carriage followed fifty Ouchi guards, and Jin Zhongshan's also had thirty, and they went out of the city in a mighty way.
Honglu Temple has been staring at the post house, and naturally got the news as soon as possible, but there is no other way than to jump and secretly send people to follow.
Zhu Xu's carriage went all the way, and there was no sign of stopping after walking for half an hour.
The guards beside Jin Zhongshan, their feet were sore, and they looked up at the carriageway: "My lord, where is His Royal Highness King Hui taking us?" ā
Jin Zhongshan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and said without changing his face: "Don't worry, Your Highness has your own arrangements." ā
Although he said this, he still lingered on the word 'stepping green', what kind of green is he stepping on in the winter when everything is withering?
After a long while, Zhu Xu's carriage finally stopped.
Zhu Xu jumped out of the carriage and beckoned Jin Zhongshan to come over.
"Lord Kim, take a look." Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked not far away, and said with a smile.
Jin Zhongshan looked up and saw long semi-circular strips like big insects lying on the ground, each wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and there were dozens of them.
Jin Zhongshan looked puzzled, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, what is this?" ā
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it." Zhu Xu smiled and waved, and took the lead to walk forward.
Cao Wenzhao gestured to the guards behind him, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Jin, please." ā
Jin Zhongshan was also curious, and followed Zhu Xu, and the three of them walked towards the semicircular cylinder not far away.
Soon, a half-hundred-hundred-year-old man hurriedly ran out of the long tube, with a shrewd look on his face, hurriedly came over, and bowed with a long body, "Little one, meet His Royal Highness King Hui." ā
Zhu Xu nodded, and said imposingly: "This is Lord Jin of the North Korean Mission, and this king is here to see it today." ā
The little old man is the chief shopkeeper here, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Highness, please Lord Jin." ā
Jin Zhongshan looked at Zhu Xu with a curious expression, and Zhu Xu said with a smile: "Lord Jin, you will know when you see it." ā
The three of them followed behind the little old man, and the little old man ran over quickly, opened the curtain and said, "Your Highness, Lord Jin, Commander Cao, please." ā
As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was a sense of warmth, and Jin Zhongshan's expression became even more puzzled.
The three walked in, Zhu Xu glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.
Jin Zhongshan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran a few steps.
I saw that the inside of this long cylinder was as warm as spring, and in addition to a two-person parallel passage on the ground, there were green plants on both sides, which were very lush and vibrant.
Jin Zhongshan reached out and grabbed a leaf, looked at it in front of him, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Xu in shock and said, "Your Highness, what is this?" ā
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "This is what I have just successfully experimented with in the Yamen of Chao Yousi, which is called a warm greenhouse, which can maintain the temperature and allow crops to grow as usual in winter." ā
The little old man quickly brought a plate over, and said to Zhu Xu with a courteous face: "Your Highness, you can taste our freshly ripe watermelon, it is sweet and delicious." ā
Zhu Xu took a piece and handed it to Jin Zhongshan and said: "Lord Jin taste it, there is not only watermelon here, as long as the operation is done properly, anything can be planted." (To be continued.) )
