Chapter 208: Wandering out of the palace
It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave the palace, and it often requires all kinds of arrangements, of course, the most outrageous arrangement in history is that Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River.
Then it is no longer a simple emperor leaving the palace.
It's like the emperor went on a tour.
The various arrangements and performances along the way have long lost their original flavor.
But if the emperor doesn't speak, how can the people below miss such a great opportunity to perform?
Zhu Youzhen and Queen Zhou at this moment.
completely disregarded the so-called etiquette of the Son of Heaven.
"Wow! Childe, look! There's someone out there selling clay figurines! ”
"Is this an embroidered shoe? It's so good.."
"Rock sugar gourd!"
...
On the streets of the New Year, the strong flavor of the New Year has reached its peak, and the shops on the streets are crowded with people, and there are people everywhere to welcome the New Year.
From time to time, Zhu Youzhen can still see some couples holding hands, and the wife seems to be blaming her husband for not buying New Year's goods earlier.
On the streets, sugar people, roasted goods, juggling, eating, and all kinds of stalls are also doing well.
Zhu Youzhen watched all this with interest.
But from time to time.
will be dragged by Queen Zhou on the side to various stalls.
Often at this time, Zhu Youzhen was stunned first.
But I saw the excitement on Queen Zhou's face, with a little shyness.
And so it went.
In his previous life, Zhu Youzhen loved to listen to cross talk, and from time to time he liked to spend a little money to buy a ticket for a small garden, accompanied by a pot of high crushed.
Listen for one night.
It's just that although there is already cross talk in the Ming Dynasty now, compared with the cross talk of later generations, it is actually not a thing at all, but Zhu Youzhen still wants to go and watch and listen to it, so he is in a small teahouse on the street...
Zhu Youzhen listened happily to the two of them on stage.
Although it is different from later generations, it still provokes Zhu Youzhen's applause.
Queen Zhou, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak: "Childe... It's not too early .."
Then.
Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment and realized that he didn't come out to listen to cross talk today.
The cross talk performance on stage continues.
Many audience members in the teahouse threw the copper coins in their hands to the stage from time to time, causing the two people on the stage to thank them again and again.
It's not too early, and it's time for Zhu Youzhen to go.
It's just that before leaving, he silently put a Ming Empire Dragon Yuan on the tea table.
Keep it for tea.
With the implementation of various innovative systems in the imperial court, in the final analysis, the lives of the people have been greatly improved, and only when they have spare money in their hands can they celebrate the New Year happily.
Otherwise, it won't be the New Year..
It's a catastrophe in cold temperatures.
...
The people who have been wandering around the streets and alleys have scattered about the same momentum, and Zhu Youzhen and Queen Zhou reluctantly returned to the palace, if the future generations look at the current Queen Zhou is just a little girl.
But now she has become the queen of the Ming Empire.
On the way back to the palace, the queen chattered excitedly and told Zhu Youzhen what she had seen and heard on the street today.
"Since I entered the palace, I haven't been in the streets and alleys like this, and I have a good stroll."
Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look at Queen Zhou beside him and said, "If that's the case, I will take you out a few more times in the future, and accompany me to see this Ming Dynasty together." ”
"Good!" Queen Zhou smiled sweetly and responded.
...
Next.
The work system of officials in the Ming Dynasty is actually similar to a certain system in later generations, that is, they actually do not work during the New Year.
And Zhu Youzhen rarely gave himself a vacation.
and Queen Zhou were in the harem, and they had an in-depth communication on the continuation of the dragon vein, and many officials in the palace who learned about it were also happy to see it.
No one disturbed him for a few days, and his life was pleasant.
After the New Year.
According to the law, a series of operations such as sacrificing ancestors and worshipping ancestors should be carried out, and Zhu Youzhen could not get rid of it.
..
"Ahh I'm tired to death.."
Lying on the bed in the palace of Queen Zhou, Zhu Youzhen only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and the Rite Department's Lai Zongdao really taught himself a lesson, for several days, endlessly.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a necessary operation for the emperor to represent the divine authority of the monarchy.
Zhu Youzhen really wanted to give up on the spot.
Tianjin Wei was originally only a guard of the Ming Dynasty, but because it was the closest to Jingshi, that is, Shuntianfu and Zhili, and it also had a natural port, it became the busiest port in the north of the Ming Dynasty under the promotion of Zhu Youzhen.
Every day, traders from all over the world gather here to buy silk, porcelain, and tea from the Ming Dynasty with the silver money and materials in their hands.
After all, in the current Tessie countries.
If anyone doesn't have a few porcelain or furniture from the Ming Dynasty, they are embarrassed to say that they are nobles of the kingdom.
"Slow down, slow down! They all said to slow you down! ”
Boom!
With a loud bang, one after another swords and weapons packed in wooden boxes were smashed to the ground and scattered all over the ground.
The overseer in charge of the loading at the dock closed his eyes and said in his heart: "Yes. It's time to delay again! ”
Then he said loudly: "What's wrong! Don't you have any eyes? Hurry up and put it back in? As soon as the overseer spoke, a young man with a hippie smile popped up beside him.
I saw him say with a little joking: "Lord Overseer is angry, let's put it back!" ”
"Okay, okay, hurry up, don't delay time, how many days have this batch of goods been at the dock... I said that you are all one by one, and you can eat one by one, how can you work and you can't come to your waist and legs..."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
As soon as the overseer's voice fell, several young strong men rushed out on the side.
casually put away the swords scattered on the ground, bundled them with a hemp rope around his waist, and then moved to the ship.
"You've all done a little bit more meticulously! This country has spent a lot of money on this, or this little work can make so many of you do it..."
The overseer then spoke, and then stepped aside.
According to the trade agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate, it stands to reason that the work of this transportation is also the responsibility of the Japanese State itself, but the Ming Dynasty has strict system regulations, and overseas merchants are naturally extremely welcome to the Ming Dynasty.
But once the ship carried more people than the normal standard.
Sorry then... How you came, how to go back.
If not, then it is no wonder that some violent means will be used to help you solve the problem of overstaffing on board.
For this.
At first, the price was slightly higher than the porter's price, but even the porter on the port of Tianjin had little interest in giving the Japanese officer.
Until the price went all the way up to three times.
Only then did they gather the manpower and transport the swords and weapons purchased by Daming to the merchant ships of the Wa Kingdom.
