After making a decision in his heart and thinking about all the reasons, he was a little tired with a happy face, so he simply ate some dinner, and went back to the house to rest, waiting for the meeting with his good brother the next day.

There was no word for a night, and soon, it was dawn the next day.

I got up early in the morning, refreshed, and first came to the courtyard for a simple punch, and familiarized myself with the body of the nine-rank martial artist who was several times stronger than ordinary people at this time, and I felt that it was indeed extraordinary.

Because of the nine grades of martial arts, the strength has doubled, and the physical fitness is several times that of ordinary people, which can be called as powerful as an ox, to put it simply, it can fight ten at a time.

Of course, this kind of enhancement is only an enhancement in terms of strength, and there is not much reinforcement in terms of flesh and blood, for example, if the original owner is hit on the head by a tile, he will still faint to death, just like ordinary people.

Only when you reach the realm of the eight grades of martial arts, with copper skin and iron bones, will you be greatly immune to the damage of these artifacts.

Of course, it's not really immune, that's just the saying, you will still die if you are stabbed a few times, but you can be stabbed a few more times than ordinary people, but it is already quite perverted.

This is also the main reason why those generals in the army can still fight bloodily with dozens of arrows in their bodies, because they have the physical quality of an eight-rank martial artist, and they can take many more knives than ordinary people without dying, which is equivalent to bringing their own flesh and blood armor, which is very strong.

After boxing, I came to eat breakfast in the dining room, but fortunately I saw that my cheap dad was still holding the eggshell steamboat he made at the moment and studying it obsessively, and he almost forgot to eat, and stuffed it into his mouth with a steamed bun dipped in ink.

Anyway, the whole person was completely obsessed, completely shocked by this new steam power, and entered a stage of epiphany, and was glared at by his mother several times without realizing it.

Seeing this, in anger, Fan Mu couldn't help but glance at Wan Xing fiercely, complaining that he was blamed for making such a thing to make this old guy addicted.

It's been a long time since the demons were tossed like this again, it's really a headache, one big and one small, none of them makes her worry.

And what can Wan Xing say? can only be that embarrassing and polite steaked rice, after all, in any era, dry rice is important.

While muttering and complaining, and glanced at him, Fan Mu instructed again that when you go to Xingwang's Mansion in a while, you must pay attention to etiquette, don't be lazy, do anything rude, and provoke the old princess and the little princess.

Hearing this, fortunately, he naturally nodded again and again while chopping rice.

"I know, I know, mother, I'll pay attention, you're about to say it eight hundred times, I'm not a fool, I promise I won't make a mistake."

"You stinky boy, look at what you said, it's not long-winded, I'm not afraid that your head injury is not completely healed, just like yesterday, confused, after all, this time is different from the past, everything has to be cautious."

"So, I think it's better to wait until the injuries on your head are fully recovered, and they won't blame the little prince."

Hearing this, he touched a piece of plaster on his forehead, although his appearance was indeed not good-looking, but the injury on his left forehead that was smashed by the tiles had basically recovered, and after it didn't hurt much, he said with a smile.

"No need mother, I'm really fine, and didn't you say it, now is the critical moment, how can I still stay at home, I have to hurry up and help the little prince and them to make more suggestions, otherwise how brilliant will it be in the future, right?"

Hearing it, she insisted, and after thinking about it, Fan Mu didn't say anything more, but nodded.

"Okay, son, just let it be, follow me into the house to meet the old princess in a while, after all, she has been talking about you a lot these days, and she has also rewarded you with a lot of supplements to replenish your body, but you can't be without rules."

"Okay, mother, I'll listen to you, go and see the old princess first, I miss her too."

Saying that, after eating, he didn't delay, he simply cleaned up, and fortunately, together with his mother-in-law Fan Qing, he went out of the house and rushed to Xingwang's Mansion, leaving his father alone to continue to study the eggshell steamship at home.

I wondered how I could amplify this little steam power and make it a source of power that could really propel a huge ship, including, as Wan Xing said, to build that little train that was powered entirely by steam.

……

Out of the house, because Xingwangfu is very close to their home, only about a thousand meters away, you can walk in ten minutes, so fortunately they also chose to walk over, save trouble, and you can also take this opportunity to visit the scenery along the way.

At the same time, while walking, he also asked for some information about the palace from his mother, and learned about it from her mouth.

This Xingwang Mansion was built in the first year of Hongzhi, and it has only been thirty-three years in total today, and only two generations have lived, the former Xingwang Zhu Youqi, and the current little prince Zhu Houxi, so it is still very new.

And many people call Zhu Youqi the king of Xingxian, thinking that Xingxian is his title, but in fact, it is not right, Xingwang is his title, and Xian is his nickname, and together they are called Xingxian king.

But this is just the name of the descendants, at that time it could not be called so, it was equivalent to calling it by his name, it was impolite and disrespectful, and he had to be called King Xing or King Xian, which was told by his mother, so that he was fortunate to keep it in mind.

Thinking that it's good that I'm not an orphan when I cross over, otherwise I don't understand so many rules in ancient times, maybe I won't live for three days, like going up is a sentence of what Xingxian King is how he is, maybe he will offend people, and drive him out of the house directly, and his favorability will be reduced to the lowest, and it will never be reused again.

For example, his mother also told him some rules, such as when he visited the old princess, he must not look up directly, he must bow his head slightly, otherwise it is also a sign of impoliteness and disrespect, which he secretly kept in mind and did not dare to be negligent.

And walking on the road, looking at the prosperous scene along the way, the spiritual outlook of the common people is also better, not wearing tatters, beggars and homeless people all over the street, so that fortunately it is also a little reassuring.

Because the Ming Dynasty at this time was still smooth, there were no major internal and external troubles, unlike the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was full of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the displaced people were everywhere.

Isn't there always a saying that 'the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full', which shows how good this feng shui treasure is.

Therefore, this place is really very prosperous and rich, and there is no such miserable scene of Zhumen wine and meat smelling, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Especially the Xingwang Mansion, it is extremely prosperous, you must know that when Zhu Youqi was in the domain, his brother Ming Xiaozong was very generous, and did not treat his younger brother badly, but rewarded him with 4,000 dumps of land at one time, that is, 400,000 acres.

At the same time, after arriving in Anlu, Xingwangfu reclaimed a large amount of wasteland, including accepting the contributions of some local wealthy families, and the total land has exceeded more than 600,000 mu

Therefore, although the history of Xingwangfu is indeed short on the surface, the accumulated background should not be shallow, at least there is money and food.

After all, you must know that being an emperor also costs money, not really the whole world is yours as soon as you succeed to the throne, what you want, that's, and it's quite nonsense.

It also has to be dotted up and down, of course, the emperor can't be described as dotted up and down, tooth, you have to say reward.

That's right, it's a reward, otherwise if you don't give money, whoever will give you the best work to work hard, right?

For example, first of all, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, all the ministers and officials of the old palace, including the guards and servants and eunuchs, must be rewarded to show their favor and not forget their roots.

Secondly, when you go to the capital, the palace maids, eunuchs, and soldiers in the palace must also be rewarded, otherwise if you are not familiar with the place, how can you let them know that you are the new emperor's imperial grace, so as to serve you wholeheartedly?

Including the soldiers of the three major battalions in the capital, this is the point, and it has to be rewarded, how to win their hearts without rewarding, and they have to spend a lot of money to make them grateful to you, the new emperor, so as to serve you desperately.

In a word, loyalty, many times it is bought with money!

Otherwise, who will bird you, you will not pull out a dime after inheriting the throne, and you are too unkind, why should you die for yourself?

Not to mention anything else, just these, the sum of the zeros and zeros must be at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the emperor has to pay for them himself.

After all, the scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty at this time were quite domineering, and they divided the public and private very openly, and the money of the treasury was the money of the treasury, and the emperor could not move.

Of course, if you really want to use it, you have to beg people, and you have to look at people's faces, which is equivalent to kneeling and asking for food.

And many times the emperor can't pull this face, so he can really only use his own money, that is, the inner treasury.

This is also the main reason why so many emperors believe in traitorous ministers and eunuchs, because they can make money for themselves and enrich their inner treasury, without looking at other people's faces.

But it can be imagined that there should be no money in the inner library at this time, after all, when Emperor Zhengde, he spent money lavishly, training the army and building leopard houses, not to mention animals, just the monks, Taoists, orchids, and warriors in various places have raised thousands of people, how can there be any money left.

Therefore, Zhu Houxi must have a hard pocket, otherwise he really can't be the emperor.

There is a good saying, if you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money.

So thinking of this, fortunately, I couldn't help but sigh, Zhu Houxi, this guy is really fateful, he is really fateful, he can become the emperor, all these conditions are indispensable, and it is really not so easy.

This is also why he had the confidence to be tough with Yang Tinghe and many other court ministers from the beginning, in addition to being smart and talented, this rich and capricious is probably one of the important factors.

This is also his only advantage, that is, financial independence, and the large amount of money and food that the Xingwang Mansion has saved for him, so that he is not afraid of being stuck in the money bag by this group of old foxes, of course, he has the confidence and courage.

Otherwise, if you change to a poorer vassal king, you can't beat a date with three poles, and the group of courtiers who want to do it all say that they have no money, and I'm afraid they will really be empty.
