Staring at a pair of bear eyes, he said, "Really? ”

The boss said with a bitter face: "This can still be fake, and the small shop has made them empty." Today is even more excessive, if I have to let my daughter go up to accompany the wine, I don't dare to disobey. ”

Speaking of this, I almost cried.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, didn't have the heart to eat noodles, threw the rice bowl on the table, sat down from the stool honestly, and said to the boss behind him: "In this way, you go up, don't care if they ask for wine money, if they don't give it, you can come down to find us, let's just wait here, and see if this is true or false." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words made the boss a little worried, but looking at the two guest officers in front of him, they were also extraordinary, not like pretentious people.

Just as he was about to say something, the people upstairs began to shout again: "Boss! Come on, the wine is gone! Add wine! ”

"You're deaf!"

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly ran upstairs.

After a while, there was a cheer from upstairs.

"What silver? No! Write it down to Lao Tzu! ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang downstairs, his face had turned dark.

At the same time, the sound of fighting and the owner's plea for mercy were immediately heard upstairs.

"Military master, military master........"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and took the soup and was about to go upstairs.

But before they could ascend the stairs, a man rolled down the narrow staircase.

This man staggered and bumped everywhere.

happened to fall at the foot of Zhu Yuanzhang who was about to climb the stairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the bowl lying on the ground in front of him spitting blood and falling down in his hand, and the whole person instantly quieted down.

There was no anger.

There is no expression.

just looked at the restaurant owner who was talking to him just now, and was lying straight on the ground at the moment, without movement.

Tang He behind Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward, came to the side of the shop, stretched out his hand to touch it, and immediately turned his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tang He without saying a word, and asked, "How is it?" ”

Tang He said: "It's out of gas, it's dead." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was expressionless, listened to the noisy sound that was still upstairs at the moment.

Teeth gritted.

At this moment, a plainly dressed woman walked downstairs, and when she saw the shopkeeper lying on the ground downstairs, she suddenly exclaimed, "Dad! ”

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

The woman's crying voice made Zhu Yuanzhang's inner emotions reach the extreme at this moment.

And the sergeants upstairs who found the woman leaving walked downstairs one after another.

At this moment, they are already drunk, and they are walking staggered.

Their eyes looked confused.

But when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang downstairs, they were all stupid.

"Get on your knees!"

A group of four or five people instantly knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yong, who was the leader, also stammered and said: "Father, father, give, give sin." ”

Faced with such a scene, Zhu Yuanzhang thought a lot in an instant.

The whole field became as silent as death.

"Yong'er, you go back first, get a good night's sleep, and wake up to find me, huh?"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in turning around and leaving.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not only angry at Zhu Yong's behavior, but also had doubts for a while.

In this huge Jinling City, there are more than one restaurant.

Why did I walk into this house today, and I happened to meet Zhu Yong drinking and making trouble here.

Although the death of the man was an accident, it was too much of a coincidence.

However, he could not say any of that.

You have to hold it in your heart.

Outside the Marshal's Mansion.

Ma Xiuying, who couldn't wait, came to the door and wanted to greet Zhu Yuanzhang.

But after waiting for a long time, instead of waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to come back, he saw two soldiers pulling a carriage towards the marshal's mansion.

Ma Xiuying looked at the carriage and immediately said, "Stop." ”

"Who's in the car?"

As the carriage stopped, the soldier who was driving the carriage suddenly looked a little panicked and said, "Here, there is no one in there." ”

"This is the fish scale book of acres of land."

"It was read by the marshal."

Talking and laughing.

But Ma Xiuying didn't wrinkle.

I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang came back in a carriage, but I never thought that such a thing would happen.

Immediately said: "Lie! ”

"Open, open and I'll see."

The soldiers hesitated, but in the face of Ma Xiuying, they didn't dare to disobey, so they had to open the curtain of the carriage.

The two yellow flower girls in the carriage were also seen clearly by Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying let out a sigh of anger and said, "Is this a fish scale book?" ”

The soldier replied embarrassedly: "Mrs. Hui, they are the girls of the family of Hu Yi, the inferior gentry of Jinling, this Hu Yizhi is a lackey of the imperial court, scourging the township, and the crime is monstrous." Later, Hu Yizhi died, and someone had to take care of these two girls. ”

Where did Ma Xiuying listen to his nonsense, and asked directly: "Who sent the person?" ”

The soldier couldn't hide it, so he had to lower his head and say, "It's the hussar general Zhu Yong." ”

Ma Xiuying sneered: "This Zhu Yong is really good at filial piety." ”

However, he still said, "Since you are here, come down." ”

"Yes."

Looking at the two girls who came down, Ma Xiuying said to the maids beside her: "Go, take them to change their clothes and eat." ”

The maid was upset for Ma Xiuying, and couldn't help but say, "Madam...."

But Ma Xiuying repeated it again, saying: "I said it, take them to change their clothes and eat!" ”

When the maid heard this, she had to obediently follow Ma Xiuying's words.

..................

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the gate of the Shuai Mansion.

When passing by the compound, he happened to see still who was playing with Zhu Biao, and he hurriedly came to still and said, "Girl, is your sister in the house?" ”

In the past three years, she was originally only five years old, but now she has grown into a little girl.

looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and suddenly whispered: "Brother-in-law, my sister is very angry, just wait to be scolded by my sister." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.

Ma Xiuying was still angry, thinking about today's events, she shouldn't have come back so late.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, the people on the side suddenly covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this voice, looked over, only to hear it and still said: "Lie to you, I didn't see my sister just now." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, suddenly widened his eyes: "You little girl, see if I don't beat you." ”

But after chasing two steps in a fake way, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about what he promised Ma Xiuying yesterday, and walked honestly towards the backyard.

As he came to the front of the house, he looked at the lights that had been lit inside, and listened secretly in the corner.

But I didn't hear anything.

While walking gently, I secretly observed.

Just as he had been struggling at the door for a while, about to push open the door and enter, there was a sudden sound behind him of the lid of a teacup.

Looking at Ma Xiuying, who was sitting on the stone bench in front of the pavilion in Lin Yuan behind him, just when he didn't know what to say, Ma Xiuying took the initiative to smile and said, "I'm back." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Ma Xiuying's words, played haha, and said: "Haha, I'm back, I'm back, I'm back, it's a little late to come back, there are too many things." ”

As he spoke, he felt his mouth dry, so he came to Ma Xiuying and drank all the tea in the teacup.

"Have you eaten it?"

Ma Xiuying asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head busily: "No, no, didn't we say that we would come back today to eat, how could we eat in advance, we are all starving." ”

Ma Xiuying smiled: "Okay, that's right, the meals are all reserved for you, by the way, there are two delicious dishes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying's improved face, his mood was relieved, and he said: "Yes, hey, look, with a virtuous help like a sister, we are blessed." ”

Walking into the house, looking at the food on the table, Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling and about to say something, but he found two maids next to the table.

Suddenly wondered: "Who is this?" ”

Ma Xiuying said with a smile on her face: "This is the fish scale book that the handsome man reads." ”

After speaking, he went straight to the dinner table.

And Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained after tasting the meaning of Pinma Xiuying's words: "Sister, we really don't know about this. ”

Ma Xiuying snorted coldly: "Of course you don't know, do you still need to worry about these things?" Your righteous brothers will do it for you. Even the nonsense is made up for you. ”

Looking at Ma Xiuying's cold face, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little angry in his heart, and immediately asked the two girls, "Who did this?" ”

The two girls didn't dare to speak, and when Ma Xiuying saw this, she had no choice but to speak: "Zhu Yong." ”

Hearing these two words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry: "It's him again." ”

When he saw the two girls behind Ma Xiuying, he immediately sent out the anger that he didn't dare to make at Ma Xiuying, and scolded angrily: "Don't go down yet?!" ”

The two girls were scared.

Just when they didn't know what to do, Ma Xiuying's maid on the side hurriedly came to their side and said, "Let's go?" ”

As the maid and the two girls left, Ma Xiuying talked about serious things: "In the past two years, you have been in the limelight, and your heart has been wild, openly and secretly, how many concubines have you married, what Zhang's, Li's, don't think I don't know." ”

"Is it true that if your soldiers and horses have increased several times, the number of women will also increase several times?"

Speaking of which, Ma Xiuying didn't seem to want to continue to talk about women: "If you go on like this, what will your subordinates think of you?" How do you command the soldiers, they are all men, and if you can do that, they can't? ”

Ma Xiuying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely refute this time, but said in a low voice: "Sister, we know it's wrong, let's swear not to look for it in the future." ”

"You don't know, something happened today, and I feel uncomfortable like a knife."

But listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ma Xiuying said: "You don't need to swear, you can do women's affairs by yourself, but there is one more thing." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was like a deflated ball, lost his momentum, and immediately said, "Sister, you say." ”

Ma Xiuying said: "You want to let those soldiers under your command treat those gentry and rich men well, you don't know, now they are so scared that they don't even dare to go out, seeing the rebels is like seeing a tiger wolf, for fear that their daughter's property will be robbed by the rebels." ”

"These two girls just now belong to the gentry Hu family."

Regarding the matter just now, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't refute it at all, but when he heard Ma Xiuying mention it, he immediately retorted: "Sister, the gentry you mentioned are all rich people, and our rebel brothers are all oppressed by them, including us, and now you tell us to treat them well, this is ......."

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was embarrassed, Ma Xiuying also had something to say, and said: "I am the daughter of the rich man's family, and your godfather Guo Zixing is also a rich man from the Huaixi clan." In this way, you are still the son and son-in-law of the rich man's family. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't know how to refute it.

And Ma Xiuying, who was competing with Zhu Yuanzhang for two words, also softened at this time, and said seriously: "Chongba, don't you always want to achieve great things?" Then you have to bring all the rich, powerful, and learned people, as well as those who have no money, power, and no learning, to your side, and join forces to fight with the court, think about it, if those famous gentry and rich people hate you and are forced to the court by you, can you succeed? ”

"Even if it is done, how much more blood will be shed and how many more people will die?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very disgusted with these gentry and rich men in his heart, he carefully tasted Ma Xiuying's words, but he also understood that these were the truth.

Ma Xiuying is right.

Thinking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum gradually weakened.

Two days later.

Early in the morning, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the newly built Lixian Hall to practice his calligraphy, and pieces of paper full of the three words of the Lixian Hall were thrown everywhere.

At this time, outside the welcome garden, Li Shanchang walked down from the sedan chair, looked at this magnificent garden, and said helplessly: "Lixian Pavilion, the etiquette is as heavy as a mountain!" But where did this virtuous come from? ”

With that, he walked into the garden.

In the lobby.

looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was practicing calligraphy inside, and arched his hand: "Superior!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at him, and he responded with a hum sound.

"Coming back? What do you think? ”

Li Shanchang said: "Four words, don't dare to obey orders." ”

looked at the ink that was falling on Zhu Yuanzhang's brush, and said: "Superior, with all due respect, your ink is too thick." In this way, not only will you not be able to write, but you will be drowned. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What do you mean to say that we are too affectionate and too thick for Liu Bowen." ”

Li Shanchang said: "I think that Liu Bowen is not worthy of the affection of the top. ”

"Superior, is this Lixian Pavilion still worth building now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang crumpled the paper that had just been stained with ink and threw it away, and said, "Cover!" ”

"Why not cover? After the cover is given to you to live! You are our great sage! ”

Li Shanchang, who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a good mood at the moment, turned around and left silently.

And Zhu Yuanzhang in the house, after Li Shanchang left, wrote the words 'Lixian Pavilion' on the paper again.

Then he threw the brush in his hand in an instant.

All the things that happened to him these days were terrible.

Now Zhu Yong's matter has not been resolved, and the matter of the gentry and rich man is also hesitating.

Now, Liu Bowen, who has been treated kindly twice in a row, still doesn't give himself face, and refuses to be so straightforward.

Don't dare to obey orders.

All right

Don't dare to obey orders.

Then we have to let you come!

"Someone!"

Suddenly, the big tiger who was working outside the house immediately came to the lobby.

looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the top of the hall: "Handsome." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang walked down from the stage with a deep voice, and said slowly: "Send a few people to us to Qingtian to tie up that Liu Bowen for me!" ”

Dahu immediately received the order and said, "Yes! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang in the lobby looked at the big tiger who left, his brows furrowed tightly.

Since this period of time, they have conquered Jinling, and they have also gathered a lot of troops and territory by taking advantage of the momentum of conquering Jinling.

The entire prefecture around Jinling City saw that they were powerful and took the initiative to take refuge.

It can be said that since he, Zhu Yuanzhang, won a great victory with the 150,000 army of the Yuan army outside Huanggang City, he has not had such irritability for a long time.

Especially after coming to this Jinling City.

Bright lights, bustling streets.

Pretty woman.

Whatever you want, Jinling City has it, and what you want to eat, this Jinling City also has it.

Even the battle went unexpectedly smoothly, and the subordinates and soldiers were unstoppable.

But after the first two or three years after entering the city, Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more powerless.

It turned out that when he was in Dingyuan, because the city was not big, he could still rely on his own brain and hard work to make up for many things.

Even if you add the thousands of troops under your command, as long as you are diligent, you don't feel too much.

Later, he came to Huanggang, Chuzhou, and finally Chuzhou.

At that time, I didn't feel much about it.

Looking back now, it seems that many things and annoying problems were easily solved by Qi Heng, or solved in advance.

It was not so difficult to make myself feel at that time to lead this Anfeng Road.

But now.

This huge Jinling City alone is countless times the size of the former Dingyuan County, not to mention those state capitals that only have garrisons and no officials.

Just this Jinling City under his nose can happen like Zhu Yong, who is arrogant and fierce.

There were also deaths.

Not to mention whether Tang He deliberately tried to lure him to go that time.

There is so much I know now, and there are many more that I don't know?

is like the two girls that Zhu Yong sent to the house a few days ago.

No matter who the rich man is, but these two yellow flower girls are innocent.

It's like a gift, and it's given to someone else.

Today, since he Zhu Yong can give himself two yellow flower girls, it can be seen that such a thing is not a big deal for him.

How many other such things have been done in private?

Zhu Yong is like this, but what about the others?

What about his other sons and nephews?

Will they also be like Zhu Yong, doing evil?

Changing himself to the perspective of an ordinary person, is what the righteous army is doing now the same as the Yuan army in the past?

Even more disgusting and frightening than the Yuan army?

Now I think back to what my sister said to herself, if you want to achieve great things, you can't do this.

"My sister is right, if you want to achieve great things, you must win over everyone, not just the poor."

"We've been a little slack these days, and we've been a little slack......"

Zhu Yuanzhang examined himself.

However, Ma Xiuying's words only gave him some warning.

Now the countless territories and people around Jinling City, plus this Jinling City, how should they be managed?

How to command?

What kind of way should be used to let the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment?

Tang He's saying is right, as long as the people give them a sense of stability, they can recover quickly.

But how can we give them stability?

Now these cities have been defeated by themselves, but are the people safe?

No.

Rulers!

This is obviously an indispensable link.

However, since he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang has no experience in officialdom at all, and he doesn't even listen to it.

Although I can think of this thing.

But what the hell is the rule of the official, how do he know?

By what means, by what means, should we manage the people within our borders?

There is more food in this city, and less food in that city, and it is expensive on the one hand, and cheap on the other.

The people over there can't eat, and the people here are extravagant.

How many vegetable markets should there be in a city, and where should they be built, and how should the people report to the officials if they are bullied?

How do officials solve ..........

These messy things, who have not really entered the officialdom for a few years, where can they understand this.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang also led his troops to fight for a few days.

Now the soldiers under his command have reached more than 100,000.

However, leading soldiers is not the same as ruling officials.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang missed Qi Heng very much.

It seems that many things don't need to be said by himself at all, and Qi Heng has solved them.

Although Li Shanchang is also good now, he was also appointed by himself as the Pingzhang political affairs of Jinling City.

However, he can't do many things like Qi Heng, he can be completely trusted, and he will be handed over to him.

And, compared to Qi Heng, Li Shanchang's various behaviors made him feel that this person was not decisive enough.

What's more, Li Shanchang is now just a Pingzhang politician of Jinling Mansion, but now the territory under his command, in addition to Anfeng Road, where Qi Heng is governing, there are many other cities that need to be governed.

Each of these cities has a lot of problems, and he feels that he can't solve them all.

But he can't hand over all of this to Li Shanchang.

It's easy to give it to him now, but how to take it back in the future.

Thinking about Qi Heng at the beginning, there were always some capable officials and subordinates around him to help him share the burden.

Although the number of officials is still insufficient in many cases, they are much better than themselves.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang urgently needed a person who could help him lead the overall situation by his side, and he was also good to study by his side and have a leader.

Thinking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang silently counted.

It has been three years since he left Huanggang and came to Jinling.

In the past three years, Qi Heng has also often written to him, and he also has some understanding of the information about Anfeng Road.

Now the entire Anfeng Road seems to be on the right track under Shi Caiying's administration.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly tightened his palms.

The thought of recalling Qi Heng lingered in his mind.

A whole day passed quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about whether to recall Qi Heng all day.

However, on the one hand, he desperately needed Qi Heng to help him by his side.

On the other hand, he felt that as a marshal, the generalissimo of the righteous army, he couldn't rely on Qi Heng for everything.

When he left Qi Heng in Anfeng Road, in addition to wanting him to help him govern Anfeng Road, he also did not take the opportunity to keep Qi Heng away from the center of power of the righteous army.

In this way, Qi Heng, who is not around, will naturally have a lot less opportunities.

His importance will gradually fade among the rebels.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a lot of thoughts in his mind, didn't know where he was going before he knew it.

Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning.

"What are you doing?!"

In front of him, more than a dozen volunteer soldiers were collecting a mess of valuable things in a mansion.

Gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.....

The rebel soldiers in front heard the voice behind them, and as soon as they turned around, they immediately saw Zhu Yuanzhang in front of them, and they were immediately startled: "Big, handsome." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other party's panicked look, and immediately guessed that they were not doing anything good, and immediately shouted: "Who are these things?" Why do you rob people of their property? ”

The leading officer hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Commander, these, these are the belongings of the rich men in the city, these rich men harm the people on weekdays, and I, I am also for the people." ”

Hearing this, just when Zhu Yuanzhang was distinguishing between the true and the false, the rich man who was pressed by the soldiers on the side suddenly cried and broke free from the shackles of the soldiers, knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and shouted: "Dashuai, Dashuai, although the subordinates dare not say that they are great and good people, they will never be harmed on weekdays, I am a businessman who does my duty!" ”

"Moreover, I usually help some people who can't eat, and I have never done anything hurtful! Handsome! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the rich man kneeling in front of him, looked at his kind face, and couldn't make up his mind.

After thinking about it, he asked the soldiers next to him, "Whose order did you receive?" Is there any evidence that he has harmed the people of his neighbors? ”

The soldier panicked and didn't know what to say.

"Dashuai, we also learned from other people's mouths."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood that this person had no evidence at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and did not have a seizure, and said to the soldiers in front of him: "Whose subordinates are you?" ”

The soldier said: "We are General Xu's subordinates. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly: "Return everything to others, and in addition, go to Xu Da to confess the guilt!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they got up from the ground in a hurry, and after returning the things to the rich man, they hurried away.

And the rich man, who was kneeling on the spot, kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang again and said, "Thank you Dashuai, thank you Dashuai!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay, go back." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Walking on the road, what happened just now made Zhu Yuanzhang clearly understand that the situation in the city now is not as calm as it seems.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made up his mind.

The next day.

After explaining to Ma Xiuying at home, Zhu Yuanzhang took people to Anfeng Road and personally took Qi Heng to Jinling City.

Since Qi Heng is to be recalled, it is necessary to do enough things on face, and he will pick it up himself as the generalissimo!

At the same time, I also have the intention of going to see the situation of Anfeng Road in person.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was standing at the door of the Marshal's Mansion with the people around him, and was about to go to Anfeng Road, a soldier suddenly ran over from the street.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to leave, he said eagerly: "Dashuai, order your order, we have invited Liu Bowen here!" ”

Following the direction pointed by the soldier, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked over.

At this moment, there was a carriage parked on the side of the street, surrounded by four or five soldiers, as if to prevent the people in the carriage from escaping.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who saw this scene, glanced at Li Shanchang, who was frowning beside him, and immediately said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

With that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned over and dismounted and came to the carriage.

When the curtain was lifted, I saw that there was really a thin man with a long beard sitting in the carriage, and he should be about forty years old.

Next to him is a man in his early twenties, who should be the son of Liu Bowen mentioned by his subordinates, Liu Lian.

On the other side, looking at the dress, it should be a subordinate.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and was happy.

"Sir!"

But Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen didn't seem to hear it.

didn't give any reaction at all, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang tying him up in this way.

Zhu Yuanzhang knows Liu Bowen's thoughts.

In the previous two invitations, although Zhu Yuanzhang had not seen this Liu Bowen, he could also see that this person was a donkey.

Come to think of it, it's a little unhappy to be tied up in this way by anyone else.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry.

Since he Liu Bowen has come, there is no possibility of escaping from him again.

No matter what method he uses, he will definitely let him serve himself willingly.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy with himself, regardless of whether Liu Bowen ignored himself or not, and said to himself: "Sir, we know that our method is not very good, but we have no choice, so we made this decision." ”

"We really can't bear to be buried in that small place in Qingtian with a talent like Mr."

"Let's not talk about it, sir, just take a look, after a long time, you will be able to understand what kind of person our Zhu Yuanzhang is."

After speaking, when he was about to put down the curtain, he seemed to think of something, so he said again: "By the way, we are going to go out this time and go to Anfeng Road." ”

"Let's think about it, I still think it's more appropriate for Mr. to come with us, so that we can get acquainted with each other."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was smiling all over his face, seemed to have completely forgotten his previous dissatisfaction with Liu Bowen at this time.

As he lowered the curtain of the carriage, he immediately waved his hand to the soldiers beside him and said, "Go, follow us." ”

After speaking, he instructed again: "Protect Mr. well, and there must be no mistakes." ”

This soldier is also a clever person, from Zhu Yuanzhang's voice and expression, he can see the deep meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and immediately nodded seriously and said: "Don't worry, with us, Mr. Liu can't have an accident." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang took the horses in the hands of the soldiers and shouted to the group: "Go!" ”

Soon, a team of nearly 100 people immediately headed in the direction of Anfeng Road.

On the avenue, it has been an hour since Zhu Yuanzhang and his party left the gate of Jinling City.

Because the number of people in the group is relatively large, and there is no special rush, the speed is still very slow.

It took an hour to get from Jinling City to the Yangtze River in the north.

After crossing the Yangtze River, they officially set foot on the territory of Chuzhou on Anfeng Road.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very familiar with this road, and when he came to Jinling, he followed this road.

It is also the main arterial road between Anhui and Jinling City since ancient times.

It's just that the moment they arrived at the Chuzhou boundary from the lively ferry, Zhu Yuanzhang noticed a different change.

On the edge of the ferry near Jinling City, although there are many people, it is also very lively.

However, the scenery is completely different.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, near the ferry port here in Chuzhou, I don't know when the houses were built.

And they're all two-story houses.

Along the banks of the ferry, there are small traders and hawkers doing business, making the whole ferry very lively.

It's not even just a ferry port, it's the size of a small town.

The streets are very well designed and very comfortable, and each of the shops looks the same, but the plaques on them make it clear what the shops do.

Grain, fabrics, and some things that look white velvet, Zhu Yuanzhang has never seen them.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who thought that if it was still early today, he would try to arrive in Chuzhou City before dark, but he didn't think about it so much at this time, so he turned over and dismounted and walked towards those shops.

Especially the white velvet thing, Zhu Yuanzhang was sure that he had never seen it.

Curiosity drove him over.

By his side, Li Shanchang and Xu Da walked together.

"Xu Da, Mr. Li, do you know what that thing is?"

The two people on both sides of Zhu Yuanzhang also looked puzzled.

"Superior, forgive me for being a shallow learner at the bottom, and I have never seen this thing."

Just as a few people were walking towards the shop, in the carriage behind him, Liu Bowen suddenly opened his eyes and said slowly: "Lian'er, didn't you just cross the river?" Why did it stop all of a sudden? ”

Liu Lian also looked puzzled, and then opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out of the carriage.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This is completely different from the ferry I have seen in the past.

Just when Liu Lian was surprised, Liu Bowen asked again, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Lian didn't know how to explain to his father, and said, "Father, you'd better see for yourself." ”

Confused, Liu Bowen got up and opened the curtain on the side of the carriage to look.

When he saw the scene outside the curtain, he was also like Liu Lian before, showing a surprised gaze.

"Where is this? From the west of Jinling City to the north, just crossed the Yangtze River, this should be the boundary of Chuzhou, right? When did Chuzhou become so prosperous? ”

Faced with Liu Bowen's doubts, Liu Lian was really difficult to answer, so he said, "Father, should we go down and have a look?" ”

Liu Lian's words suddenly hit Liu Bowen's mind at the moment, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

As Liu Bowen and Liu Lian got out of the carriage, the soldiers around the carriage did not stop them, but they followed them all the time.

It is said to be protecting, but in fact it is regulated.

After getting off the carriage, without the constraints of the perspective of the carriage, Liu Bowen and Liu Lian immediately saw the scene around the ferry.

Compared to the other side, it is not a star-and-a-half.

Even the ferry port has more business because of the shops here.

There are countless pedestrians crossing the Yangtze River.

Liu Bowen looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "My young brother really has some ability. As I remember, this Chuzhou was the first city to be attacked by an army of 150,000 led by Lord Toto, and I never thought that it had only been three years, and there had been such a change. ”

As he spoke, Liu Bowen saw the shops along the shore and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

With Liu Bowen and others coming, Zhu Yuanzhang and others soon saw Liu Bowen and his son under Xu Da's reminder.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly held a smiling face and said, "Sir, you are finally willing to see us." ”

Liu Bowen smiled humbly and said, "The handsome man has already tied me here, how can I not see the handsome in the future." ”

Liu Bowen actually wanted to open it.

The next road is still long, can he really not look at Zhu Yuanzhang at a glance?

Even if he could, could he defecate without eating, drinking, or urinating?

In that case, there was no point in him doing that.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he had no choice but to smile.

Although Liu Bowen was willing to see him, the tone of his words could also be heard that Liu Bowen did not want to take refuge in him.

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang is not in a hurry.

Instead, he fiddled with the white velvet thing in his hand and said, "This thing is really strange, we haven't seen it since we were children, it's soft, and I don't know what it is." ”

As Zhu Yuanzhang said this, everyone's eyes also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

Especially that Liu Bowen, he was conceited and well-informed, but when he looked at the things in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, he couldn't help frowning.

Obviously, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But when he looked at the plaque of the store in front of him and the things sold in the store, he looked up at the store at the counter and asked, "Shop, can this thing be called Bai Diezi?" ”

At this moment, he was looking at the shopkeeper in front of him who had never seen the world with a smile on his face, and when he heard Liu Bowen's words, he smiled and said: "This gentleman is well-informed, and this thing is white stacks, but it is not called white stacks in our place, but cotton." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, asked eagerly: "What is the use of this thing?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This thing is the same as the fabric, it can keep warm." ”

As he spoke, he put a quilt made of a bed in the store on the counter and let Zhu Yuanzhang and others rub it.

Xu Da on the side said in surprise: "This quilt is so soft." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled.

And the shopkeeper said: "This cotton is stuffed in the quilt, and it is very warm at night." Tuck it into your clothes to keep you warm even in the cold. ”

Listening to the store's confident words, Xu Da couldn't help but say, "Is it so strange as you said?" Let's try it ourselves. ”

As he spoke, he pulled off the quilt on the table and draped it over himself.

The shopkeeper who could see this scene shouted eagerly: "The guest officer can't help it, can't help it, this thing is precious, if it is dirty, you can't afford to pay for it." ”

Hearing this, Xu Da was immediately unhappy: "Isn't it just a quilt, it can be worth a few dollars, and if it is dirty, we will pay you for it." ”

As he spoke, he draped it over his body.

Feeling the touch sensation coming from his body, Xu Dale smiled and said, "Hey, it's really good." Big brother, try it, this thing is really comfortable as a quilt. ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to try it, but now there are Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen by his side, and as a high-ranking person, he is really embarrassed to disregard his face like Xu Da.

I had to wave my hand and say, "Forget it, let's not try." ”

When Xu Da handed the quilt back to the store, the store carefully took it and looked up and down.

Looking at the appearance of this store, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile and said: "I said boss, as for you, just this quilt, it scares you." ”

But the boss said: "What do you know, the cotton used in this quilt is worth fifty stone of grain!" ”

As soon as the boss said this, Zhu Yuanzhang almost stared out his eyes.

"How much? You repeat, how much grain is this thing worth? ”

"You boss, you're blinded by lard, right? Fifty stone of grain, you might as well grab it. ”

Xu Da on the side also stared at the quilt on the table, thinking that this thing was worth fifty stone of grain!

You must know that this stone of grain is enough for one person to eat for more than three months.

These fifty stone of grain is enough for a family of five to eat for three or four years!
