Chapter 148: A Good Day and an Auspicious Day
Zhu Daolin at this moment did not have Xu Hongji's good mood. Although he took the lead in launching a rather vicious counterattack, he didn't know whether the Southeast Haoqiang and Donglin Party members who had been exposed to the conspiracy would be reined in, and if they still vigorously launched a strike on the market and classes, Zhu Daolin would have no choice.
In fact, the most injured person will not be Zhu Daolin, but millions of innocent people in Jinling, even if Zhu Daolin returns to the so-called Tianshu Pavilion immediately after his wedding, and urgently procures various materials to return to the emergency, he cannot make up for the many losses caused by this.
After thinking about it, Zhu Daolin decided to do nothing at all.
At this point, he has fulfilled his responsibility, if the Southeast Haoqiang Group and the Donglin Party insist on going their own way in order to achieve their goals, at most it will be a lose-lose outcome, he Zhu Daolin can afford to be hurt, but even if the eight families in the Southeast and the Donglin Party they raised can afford to be injured, they will also lose the reputation they have painstakingly established for decades.
In contrast, Zhu Daolin still earned.
Xiaoying and Xu Fu were still practicing musical instruments and learning skills in the outer study, while Zhu Daolin stayed alone in the inner study that had not been completed for a long time, pondering, planning to readjust the plans for the next six months.
When he picked up the sharpened pencil, he felt that the adjustment of the plan would not be carried out until the news came back from Gonggong Wu.
If Gonggong Wu had done well in the capital, and he had been appointed as the commander of the Nanjing Governor's Office, the next step would be to focus on building up the army and building warships.
Even if the 1.63 million taels of silver that Sayide bought most of the bone china and the samples on display were all spent, Zhu Daolin would not frown.
If the Donglin Party led by Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, got in the way, and the Chongzhen Emperor, who was in a dilemma, couldn't make up his mind for a while, and finally Zhu Daolin failed to get any appointment, then his entire plan had to be reformulated, with foreign trade and seeking Taiwan's fresh water as a priority.
No matter how big the price is. It is also necessary to buy fresh water from the declining Spaniards, and quickly establish their own armed bases and trading docks, and must not rely only on Jinling City, which is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The stupid thing of putting all his eggs in one basket, Zhu Daolin will never do it.
When Zhu Daolin remembered Wu Jingxian, the father-in-law of Wu, the fleet led by Wu Jingxian had just arrived at the Cangzhou Canal Wharf, which was more than 400 miles away from the capital.
Due to the wrong direction of the wind, it would take at least four nights and three days for his fleet to reach the capital.
After the fleet has been berthed and put on alert. Wu Jingxian, who was preoccupied, put on a black coat and walked onto the deck, slowly raised his head in the chaotic cold wind, and looked up at the dark and dreary sky.
As early as the evening before yesterday, he received an urgent report from Nanjing, learning all the details of Zhu Daolin's 10,000-person demonstration and besieged the Yingtianfu Yamen and the Liubu Yamen, from which he deduced that Zhu Daolin, Xu Hongji, and others had temporarily removed the threat of their opponents through unconventional actions.
However, Wu Jingxian did not know that the Southeast Haoqiang Group and the Donglin Party were about to launch a strike, let alone that Zhu Daolin had preemptively come to govern others in his own way.
But Wu Jingxian had already foreseen that Nanjing's 10,000 people resisted. Instructions. The Weixing operation completely kicked off the fierce struggle between the two sides. The capital he is about to reach will be another battlefield full of dangers.
You must know that Zhou Yanru and other Donglin party leaders in the court are far more shameless than the Donglin party leaders in Jinling City!

On the second day of February, the Green Dragon Festival.
After the Ziyang Temple, which is still under construction, held a simple prayer and sacrifice ceremony, the presiding Taoist Xuanqing announced with a smile: "The farms and workshops under the Ziyang Temple, all the workshops of Hushan Manor and Zizhuyuan and Ziyang Academy will have a three-day holiday from today!" ”
Daoist Xuanqing did not explain the reason for the holiday, but the more than 17,000 men, women and children who rely on Ziyangguan and Hushan Manor to live know that tomorrow is the day of Xiao Zhu Dao's wedding.
From the first day of the holiday, hundreds of craftsmen and people organized spontaneously. Clean the Hushan Manor inside and out, because they admire and love the backbone of Xiao Zhu Daochang who likes to be clean the most.
Back in the days of the construction of four residential complexes and major workshops. Daoist Zhu asked the craftsmen to use the best stone and bricks to build a 38-mile-long underground drainage culvert and 15 public toilets of a uniform style.
At first, almost everyone was puzzled by this extremely wasteful move, but now everyone is reaping the benefits:
The environment is clean, the drainage is smooth, there are many fewer flies and mosquitoes than in other places, and the large and small roads are dry and dry. The air you breathe is fresher, too. The common skin diseases and headaches and brain fever of adults and children are becoming less and less, whether it is a workshop or a residential area, everywhere is clean and neat, which is ten times better than the Cunyi Workshop full of officials and nobles in Jinling City!
Early in the morning of the third day of February. As soon as the Jinchuan Gate opened, more than 3,000 craftsmen and apprentices from Zizhuyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, poured out of the city, and when they arrived at the newly decorated Hushan Manor, they immediately put the congratulatory gifts they had collected from were dressed in red and hung with colors, and beat gongs and drums to send them to the main courtyard of Hushan at the foot of the mountain.
The groom's official Xiao Zhu summoned Wang Youliang, the chief manager of Zizhuyuan, six stewards and 12 craftsman representatives, personally poured tea for everyone one by one, and asked everyone to thank the fathers, brothers and sisters of Zizhuyuan shoemaking workshop and textile workshop on their behalf.
In the end, Zhu Daolin said to everyone: "This is everyone's home, many of you have sweated here before moving to Zizhuyuan, and you are also half the owner of Hushan Manor." ”
"Later, when I go out, tell my father, elders, brothers and sisters, don't go outside, walk around, look at it as you like, drink and eat comfortably."
Before Zhu Daolin finished his few words, all the stewards and more than a dozen craftsman representatives were already inexplicably moved, and the head of Xuanqing Dao, who was sitting in the parent's seat, nodded frequently, with a smile of relief on his face.
At the beginning of noon, the Ziyang Temple and the Hushan Manor within a radius of six miles played drum music, and firecrackers rang out in unison.
The eight-lift sedan chair specially made by the carpentry workshop came to the gate of the martial arts hall in the east courtyard, and with the shout of the master of ceremonies Ying Da shopkeeper, dozens of women's troops led by Xu Fu immediately poured out of the gate of the martial arts hall, and saw Zhu Daolin, who was wearing a red groom's dress and a black gauze crown with wings, standing in front of the welcoming team with a smile, that looked like a child waiting for candy, as honest as he wanted, which made Xu Fu and her women's army laugh, and almost forgot the procedure of asking for a bride price to enter the door.
The solemn ceremony was carried out one by one in the attention of 10,000 people, Zhu Daolin, who was dressed in red and hung colors, rode on the Xiongjian white horse presented by Zhao Zhilong of Xincheng Bo, Zhang Deyi brothers, Xu Wenjue brothers and Yan Yihe and other fox friends and dog friends surrounded the groom, guarding the groom and the bride's eight sedan chairs, wandering on the main road of Ziyang Temple and Hushan Manor, cheering and blessings everywhere they went.
The huge welcoming team walked for more than half an hour, only to go around a circle, return to the main courtyard of Hushan where the guests gathered, and hold a solemn worship ceremony.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that Xu Fu and more than a dozen other bridesmaids sent the bride into the cave room.
