Chapter 254: Zhu Yuanzhang's draft girl

Immediately, like a shy little girl, one hand was held by Zhu Ao, and the other hand held the two words and lowered her head, following Zhu Ao delicately, her expression was so shy, as if she was a little girl who opened a room with her boyfriend for the first time.

Yuelai Inn is the largest inn in this area, there was it in the Yuan Dynasty, and the old Zhu suffered some losses when he entered Jinling, but under the hard work of the shopkeeper and the maintenance of Zhu Yuanzhang's strict military discipline, it quickly recovered its previous scale and strength, and became one of the best inns in Jinling City.

The local tyrant takes the girl to open a room, of course, you have to choose this kind of five-star hotel to save face. Zhu Ao took Di Linazha's hand and walked into the hall of the Yuelai Inn, and the sharp-eyed shopkeeper came forward, nodded respectfully and said, "Are the two guest officers sharp-eyed or staying in the hotel?" ”

Zhu Ao took out a piece of silver from his arms, and said to the various local tyrants in costume dramas: "The best guest room is one." When he was watching costume dramas, he always wondered where those heroes got their money, and they threw it in people's faces piece by piece at every turn, in fact, in ancient times, most of the heroes' lives were very poor. It is often necessary to rely on officials or wealthy families to survive. Even if you learn a skill, you don't dare to rob your house casually, you are really a vegetarian when you are an official.

In fact, there is a stack of Daming treasure banknotes in Zhu Ao's arms, in the late Hongwu period, the depreciation rate of Daming treasure banknotes is already visible to the naked eye, basically when you wake up, you will find that the money in your hand is worthless, so according to the common sense of economics, it is necessary to spend the Ming treasure money in your hand first.

But Zhu Ao knew that what he bought with his sister in a hotel was actually a service, and if he bought goods, he could bargain as much as he wanted, because you cut the original 100 goods into 80, and what you bought was still that product, which was a bargain. But if you buy a service, you can't bargain casually, and you have to cut the service worth 100 to 80, and the quality of service you enjoy is not easy to say.

Therefore, Zhu Ao did not give this store the hated Daming treasure banknote, but gave the silver happily, because he wanted to buy 100% service, and it was cool to take the girl out to travel to the map, so why let others block themselves? Besides, is the widow short of this money?

The shopkeeper saw such a large piece of silver, happy mouth smiled crookedly, this year, everyone knows that the Ming treasure banknote is depreciating sharply, the people who come to live in the hotel want to pay with the Ming treasure banknote, of course they are unwilling to accept it, but most of the people who come here to find happiness are dignitaries and dignitaries, seeing that they are unwilling to accept the treasure banknote, they will be furious at every turn, threatening to take them to see the official.

How can the person who opens the door to do business provoke this group of people, so this shop is often swallowing his anger, this time it is not easy to see a boy who is willing to pay the silver quickly, how can the shopkeeper not be happy, immediately bowed over, and said with a welcoming face: "The two guest officers, please, the best room in the store is reserved for the two of you." ”

Zhu Ao smiled slightly, pulled up Di Linazha, who was holding the scroll in one hand, and walked straight upstairs. The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed and quick-handed, and he had already walked to the front, opened a spacious and bright large suite for Zhu Ao and the two, and said with a smile: "The two guest officers, please, this is the best room in the store, I hope the two guest officers have a happy stay." ”

Zhu Ao glanced at this room very casually, the room was spacious, the decoration was also very good, he was very satisfied, and said to the shopkeeper: "Set a table of good dishes for us, and the rest of the money is your reward." ”

Receiving such a large tip, the shopkeeper almost laughed happily, and said, "Thank you, guest officer, you and your wife please take a moment inside, and the good wine and food will come up immediately." ”

Then, very happily, he withdrew and closed the door gently. Di Linaza put down the two words that Zhu Ao bought, and then held her hands in front of her chest, standing in front of the window of the inn in the wind, watching the scenery of the Qinhuai River downstairs, she was fascinated, and she was actually out of her mind, because the beautiful scenery of this water town in the south of the Yangtze River was born in the northwest and she had never seen it.

Zhu Ao saw that the beauty was so intoxicated, and the love in his heart also swelled up, slowly walked behind her, hugged her slender waist and smiled: "Is Jiangnan fun?" ”

Di Linaza came back to her senses at this time, gently leaned her head on Zhu Ao's chest, and said with a smile: "It's fun, but it's a pity that we will leave soon." ”

The historical King Su is very nostalgic for the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and now Zhu Ao has the ambition to dominate the Eurasian continent, but the nostalgia for the south of the Yangtze River is less, although the south of the Yangtze River is good, but it is not his land, his land is in the northwest, in the country of Su, that is the place where he settled down and made great achievements, and said: "Then you can enjoy it these days." However, although Jiangnan is beautiful, it is not our home. The widow will build our home into a richer one than Jiangnan. ”

Di Linaza still clasped her hands in front of her chest, leaning in Zhu Ao's arms, enjoying his love, and said, "It's just that the concubine has never seen the sea, and I still regret it in my heart." ”

Ocean? It's not far from the capital, but time is tight, and there are still a lot of things waiting for the widow to do, I don't know if it's in time, Zhu Ao hesitated slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, concubine, the widow will let you live by the sea in the future." How about we go to the Arabian Sea, to the Indian Ocean? ”

Confused, she didn't know where the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean were, and asked, "What is the Indian Ocean?" What is the Arabian Sea? ”

Zhu Ao grinded her ears and temples in front of her hair, and said: "Arabia is the great food, India is Tianzhu, and the sea to the south of them is the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean." ”

Di Linaza turned her head, looked at Zhu Ao with a look of surprise, and asked a little incredulously, "Does the Great King want to conquer Tianzhu and Great Food?" ”

Zhu Ao glanced at his beloved woman, his eyes were full of tenderness, but his tone was very heroic: "Didn't your ancestor Temujin conquer thousands of miles of rivers and mountains by himself? This time, the widow wants to conquer the places he did not reach. ”

Di Linaza was warmed by his domineering, her heart was sweet, and she smiled slightly: "The concubine believes that the king can succeed, and the concubine has always wanted to go to Tianzhu to see it." ”

Tianzhu, India, one of the world's four ancient civilizations, has created many mysterious and profound cultures, Buddhism, yoga and divine oil, etc., all come from there, Zhu Ao also wants to go to Tianzhu to see, hugging Di Linazha's small waist and saying: "The widow promises you, if the widow defeats India, he will seal it to our son." ”

Di Linazha's heart beat wildly, India has been a big country since ancient times, both human and material resources are very rich, if her son can be the king there, she will have nothing to pursue, and said with a smile: "The concubine will thank the king for the king." ”

As he was talking, the shopkeeper had already put a table of sumptuous wine and food on the table, and then retreated, and said with a smile: "The guest officer and the lady use it slowly, if there is anything else, please summon the villain." He closed the door and withdrew.

Taking his girlfriend to travel is the long-cherished wish of Zhu Ao for many years, but he didn't expect this little wish to come true in Daming, so he was naturally very happy, and pulled Di Lina into his arms, and said with a smile: "Let go of eating today, let go of playing, don't stick to those red tape." ”

"Yes, sir. The concubine will pour you a glass of bar. ”

Bursts of laughter and laughter came from the room. After you have eaten and drunk, you will naturally have to do some strenuous exercise to eliminate your appetite. Zhu Ao was very interested, and threw Di Linazha's clothes all over the ground.

After finishing the matter, Di Linaza lay in Zhu Ao's arms, frowned, and asked with a hint of puzzlement: "King, there is something that the concubine doesn't understand. Although that person's handwriting is good, there is still a certain gap compared with the king's handwriting, why would the king buy his handwriting? ”

How can I explain this to you? Zhu Ao's mind turned a few times, and finally made up a lie that he thought he could justify himself: "You see that he is a stable and reliable person, now that the territory of the Su State is developing so fast, the widow needs such a talent to help the widow manage the land." ”

Di Linaza nodded slightly, apparently believing Zhu Ao's statement, and said mischievously: "The king wants to follow the allusion of Qin Mugong's five sheepskins to make a hundred miles, this deal is very cost-effective." ”

Zhu Yong smiled slightly, and did not immediately respond to her words, Sheng Yong in history is a very capable person, who has repeatedly defeated the Yan army, and also beheaded Zhu Di's general Zhang Yu, if he can be pulled under his command, it is no less than getting a Baili Xi.

Although this kind of behavior of digging the corner of his nephew's wall is not particularly authentic, Zhu Yunwen lost the country by himself, and offended the vassal kings and noble generals who held real power in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, causing them to deviate from morality, which is not something that Sheng Yong can save.

Moreover, Sheng Yong's fate was also relatively miserable, after Zhu Dijing succeeded, Sheng Yong surrendered in accordance with the situation.

However, the enmity he had with the generals of the Yan Army was too great, and the generals of the Yan Army who died in his hands alone included Zhang Yu, Tan Yuan and others, who had suffered losses in his hands, and countless others had been injured.

After Sheng Yong surrendered, although Zhu Di continued to appoint him in consideration of public opinion, the generals under Zhu Di took turns to impeach him, and finally Sheng Yong had no choice but to commit suicide.

Even if he doesn't die, Zhu Di will not reuse him, although he is very talented, but Zhu Di's generals are many talented, and one less Sheng Yong will not fall, as long as he is still the emperor and still holds the resources of the Ming Dynasty in his hands, there will be talented people who will give him his life.

Thus, what was the attitude of the ancient kings towards those who were talented? It's not that Corporal Lixian has to beg someone to come to work with you, but whether you use it or not, it depends on your own performance.

Therefore, talented people without background are actually very sad, people just don't need you, you have no way to live or die. Didn't Han Feizi, Confucius, Lao Tzu, etc., all die in the end or see through the red dust?

There are really people who don't meet talents, and there are not a few. Because there are very few resources in this world, and there are many people, if you want to occupy a certain amount of resources, it is not enough to be talented to get ahead, and more important may be external factors such as background and luck.

The reason why Zhu Ao fell in love with Sheng Yong, in addition to his military ability, the most important thing was his specialty - the use of firearms.

Sheng Yong was very good at using firearms in combat, and his firearms soldiers played a very important role in several battles against the Yan army.

Zhu Ao is working hard to develop arquebuses, before he came to the capital, the first batch of arquebuses has already been eyebrow-raised, I believe that Hongwu 29 years can achieve mass production, then it is very necessary for him to organize a special firearms unit - Shenji Battalion.

Although there are many generals under him, most of them are Wang Huchen, who likes to throw off his arms and fight bayonets with others, and there are not many people who are proficient in firearms, and he is familiar with Li Mian.

And Su Guo will vigorously develop firearms soldiers in the future, and more talents in this area should also be introduced and cultivated, just having a Li Mian is not enough, so he thought about digging Sheng Yong over.

This Yuelai Inn standing on the bank of the Qinhuai River is worthy of being a high-end inn, Zhu Ao and Di Lina Zha live there very comfortably, after a few loves, they sleep until dawn.

The next day, Zhu Ao took Di Linaza to visit the famous scenic spots in Jinling such as Egret Island, Qingliangshan Stone Town, Swallow Rock, etc., nothing major happened, the only thing worth mentioning was that there was an interesting thing - Lao Zhu was going to be drafted again.

Zhu Yuanzhang is almost seventy years old, and he still has such vigorous energy, which really makes Zhu Ao admire, but in addition to admiration, he is also a little worried.

The reason why he was worried was because he knew that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, those concubines who had not given birth were to be buried, and due to mistakes in the actual operation process, some officials forced the concubines who had already given birth to death, and it is estimated that these concubines did not give them money.

It should be noted that such concubines who were forced to die only gave birth to daughters, and if they gave birth to sons, the sons were vassal kings in other places, and no official came to make trouble.

According to the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the age of the palace maids participating in the draft must be over thirteen years old and under the age of sixteen, but in practice, some young girls under the age of thirteen will also be selected. And Lao Zhu died in two or three years, and these girls who were blooming in the flower season were going to be ordered to be buried for him.

Zhu Ao from later generations is a person who has received a civilized education in the 21st century, and he can't accept this funeral system anyway, he has already planned it, and when Lao Zhu dies, he will make a will, starting from him, any monarch, prince, and minister of Su will not be buried with a living person, otherwise the members of the royal family will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave, and the minister will be severely punished.

Just thinking of this group of palace maids who were about to be buried, Zhu Ao felt very unbearable.
