The circumference of Pingjiang City is ten miles made of rammed earth, which can only be regarded as an ordinary small city in the Central Plains, but it is the most prosperous city on this continent.

The road leading to the harbor and wharf is endless, and there are always more people coming than walking, in addition to the maritime crews, there are also Pingtou people from the Ming Dynasty, and most of them are Fujian immigrants who have more mountains and less land and are near the sea.

In addition, there are many shabby households who come here to make a living, as long as the generous emperor of the Great Wu Kingdom comes, he will distribute the fields, and if he performs well, he can also get Goryeo maids and Japanese slaves, of course, this is money, and he must pay more output in the coming year.

In the past, people who were disgusted by dogs became landlords in just a few years, and many people dragged their families back to their hometowns with their clothes, just to make those who looked down on him jealous, and then attract more ...... Broken settlement.

The streets in Pingjiang City are neat, like a tofu block cut by a knife, and the statue of Zhang Shicheng, the ancestor of the Great Wu Kingdom, can be seen everywhere in the city, and there are also inscriptions that record the origin of this country, and literate people can understand it.

An Huzi also saw it, so now he is standing at the gate of the palace of the Great Wu Kingdom shirtless with the thorn strip on his back, and the barbs on the thorn strip have pierced his back with blood, this is not a show.

The guard in front of the palace gate had already drawn a knife and held it across his chest, if it weren't for the old lover of the Queen Mother standing next to him, he would have rushed up and dismantled this crazy man into pieces.

"Does Huzi really want to go in? The woman inside is so tight that you may not be able to get out, and even if I intercede, it may not be useful. ”

"Since I came here and knew that there were still descendants of Zhang Shicheng, I didn't plan to return to Daming alive. There must be a decision today, I am willing to be benevolent, and I don't need my grandfather to intercede for me. ”

As he spoke, he strode to the palace gate, and without knowing what to say to the guards guarding the door, he was immediately pressed to the ground and sent to the palace, and the palace gate was tightly closed.

After an hour, the palace door was reopened, and several guards threw out An Huzi, who was full of flesh, and An Huzi howled in pain.

Ma Du stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's your fate that she didn't kill you!" ”

An Huzi groaned: "Thanks to Grandpa who told her the details before, otherwise she would have cut me down as soon as we met." Rao I'm still on the face of Qiao'er. ”

"Since she doesn't kill you, you will live well, and five or six deflated heads will put him on the car and take him to the boat to slowly recuperate."

Ma Du turned around to leave, and a palace maid chased after him from the palace gate and said with a smile: "Why did Grandpa leave?" The queen mother's head wind has flare up again, and the slave maid is about to invite you to your Zhuangzi, and it just so happens that you have to save a trip here. ”

"It's hard for her to be in this mood right now." Ma Du muttered in his heart and replied: "It stands to reason that my father should have gone to the Queen Mother for treatment, but her head wind attack was unbearable for ten days and a half months. ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Grandpa stay, this time the queen mother really had a head attack!" ”

"Then it's even more wrong to find the wrong person, my father is not good at this!" Ma Du rushed onto the carriage with an arrow, "Five or six, go to the dock!" ”

Xi, the meaning of light, joy, prosperity. Yongxi is the name of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although it is only a beautiful vision, but these seven years are real.

There was no war, no disaster, and even heavy conscription, and the agricultural tax of the Ming Dynasty was not reduced, but the imperial court exempted the conscription in the second year of Yongxi.

Although the imperial court could still recruit people, a day's wages were counted as a day's wages for a day's work, and the labor force was liberated to a certain extent, allowing more people to get rid of the land and begin to prosper more and more from work, business, and industry.

Yingtian's population has long been less than one million, and the inner city can no longer be put down, because there is a railway station outside Zhengyangmen has become a new commercial center.

Li Yan was born in a merchant family, but he was fortunate to be admitted to the Royal Academy. After graduating, he worked as a petty official in the Ministry of Industry, but after two years of doing it, he got impatient, and then resigned from his official position and started trading.

Dad was half angry with him, and almost didn't expel him from the house, but after a few years, he proved that his choice was not wrong, and now more than half of the real estate in the city is developed by him, known as Li Bancheng.

He hurried to the train station from the Ministry of Industry, overjoyed, and today he got a big contract - to build the Yangtze River Bridge.

Xu Guogong has a famous saying, "What is the difference between a person who has no ideals and a salted fish".

Building the Yangtze River Bridge is Li Yan's biggest ideal, he studied architecture in the academy for many years, and his graduation project was to build the Yangtze River Bridge.

Now his family has a big business, and he himself has plenty of money to build the Yangtze River Bridge, but such a project has few approvals from the imperial court.

asked his classmate and friend to hand it up, and the result was even worse than he imagined. It's not just a matter of money, many officials reprimanded that this is moving the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yangtze River moat is a natural barrier to the sky, and if the bridge is built, there is still a danger to defend.

However, the emperor was extraordinarily open-minded, and even invited him into the palace to inquire carefully, and gathered the elites of the six departments and the academy to argue for a whole year, and today finally has a result.

"Lao Tzu is going to go down in history!" Li Yan cheered and prepared to take the train to Fangshan and ask for a few helpers at the academy.

But the railway station is blocked, a group of brocade guards in front of the door to prevent idle people from entering and leaving, since the thirty years of Hongwu brocade guards began to gradually converge, over the years it has disappeared dedicated to the emperor's honor guard. I don't know which big guy I'm picking up.

The door of the station slowly opened, and I saw more than ten brocade-clothed guards escorting a person from the station and going straight to the carriage in the palace, although he only glanced at it in the crowd, Li Yan immediately recognized the identity of that person, "God, why did he come back!" ”

It is said that in the 31st year of Hongwu, he went overseas to avoid the purge of Taizu, and his children had already opened up the territory and established the country, and he would never come back without a big event.

The recent rumors that the emperor is not in good health are true? If the emperor suddenly collapsed, he didn't know if the new monarch would not support the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge.

The carriage drove all the way through the street aisle into the palace, and only stopped when it arrived at the Jinshen Palace, An Huzi pulled the curtain and said: "When the Jinshen Palace arrives, please get off the grandfather." ”

"This courtesy is too big, and it actually sent me here directly!" Ma Du got out of the car and glanced around, "Ying Tiancheng is almost unrecognizable, but this palace seems to be no different from Hong Wunian." ”

"The emperor has never added a single brick or tile to the palace over the years, so naturally there is no change. Last year, Wuyingdian ran out of water, and it is still hanging there. ”

"Your Majesty! However, this Wuying Hall has to be rebuilt, and this prince seems to have the name of a scholar of Wuyingdian. ”

"Grandpa went to tell the emperor, come into the palace quickly, the emperor can't wait."

Ma Du also didn't say much and walked into the hall quickly, and when he entered the door, he saw a man in a yellow robe holding a brush on the dragon case to review and review the folds, only to see that his temples were white, his face was thin, and his eye sockets were deep-set.

Ma Du's heart ached, and he sighed: "Your Majesty, why is this! ”

Zhu Biao slowly raised his head and smiled slightly, with a relaxed face, "Uncle, you are here, my nephew is so tired!" ”
