Seeing Lu Ning come in and kowtow, Zhu Yuanzhang's face softened and told him to calm down.

"Zi'an, don't worry, we're not angry with you, but those rice buckets of the Construction Division!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the little eunuchs to clean up the ceramic fragments on the ground, and then gave Lu Ning a seat.

After the little eunuch went out, Lu Ning asked what was going on.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said.

"Zi'an, the one thing we regret the most is to transfer you out of the Construction Division, and now the rice bucket is presiding over there, and it's all your old book, and they are responsible for the construction of the Central Capital Palace, who knows that it all collapsed, just now we have already issued an order to behead the head of the Construction Division!"

Lu Ning knew that although the new director was Zhu Biao's most trusted person, this person was best at Confucianism.

As for the construction thing, it is seven tricks and six tricks, which is simply not a clue.

Lu Ning's eyes widened and he said.

"Father, wasn't it all built a few years ago? Why are you still building? ”

"How do you know, at the beginning, it was all brick and stone structure, where is your current reinforced concrete, so I asked them to demolish and rebuild the hall, who knows that they used your technology to create a pile of tofu scum, you say angry people are not angry!"

It turned out that in order to rush the construction period, the other party dismantled the formwork and bracket in advance before the cement was hard.

In this way, all of them collapsed and were buried alive by the carpenters who were removing the molds in the ground.

Thinking of this, Lu Ning didn't feel that the head of the construction department was wronged at all.

After all, in the later generations of advanced engineering technology, if there is a collapse accident, it will also be held accountable for life, and the main responsible person will also be sentenced to death if the amount of ink embezzlement is particularly large.

"Does the father want to ask his son to be the director of the construction department again, and go there to preside over the construction of the central capital?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"You must know that Zhongdu is the location of the ancestral mausoleum of our Zhu family, which is of great significance, you have experienced these two incidents, you are already quite tired, but we have to ask you to supervise it again, those who can work hard."

Lu Ning knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The son is willing to share the worries of his father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a big face.

"Of course, to continue to start construction, you also need to remove the slag foundation in advance, which will take a long time, during this time, you should be well prepared and fully designed, if there is another collapse incident, burying innocent people, don't say that you are guilty of escaping, even we are not worthy of sitting on this Jinluan Palace."

Lu Ning said solemnly.

"Please rest assured, my son understands that I will not let this happen again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to help him up.

"My Daming fleet is now repairing in the Black Tooth Country, your fourth brother Zhu Di came in response to Tianfu's debriefing by airship, it has been more than a year since you separated, he is now at your mother's place, let's go and meet together."

I haven't seen him for a year, and the handsome young prince now has a dark face and a thick body.

But his eyes are sharper, and there is a faint domineering spirit that encompasses the universe between his gestures.

Seeing Lu Ning laughing, he responded in stride.

"Brother is getting stronger and stronger, I often hear about your name overseas, brother, people in the Western Regions hear your name, and they all admire it."

Lu Ning smiled slightly, he was already immune to this kind of verbal praise.

"Merchants who come to Middle-earth from the Western Regions to do business often mention three names: one is the commander Xu Da, the other is the deputy marshal Zheng He, and the other is Your Royal Highness King Yan.

Zhu Di also laughed and said.

"You and my brother don't boast like this, I haven't seen the queen mother for a long time, let's go to Kunning Palace to have a look."

The two brothers followed Zhu Yuanzhang into Kunning Palace.

Unlike the prosperous queen's bedroom in ordinary people's imagination, Queen Ma's palace is quite frugal.

All the utensils were half-new, and she and the maids in the palace were spinning the threads and weaving the cloths, and they were very busy.

From afar, she doesn't look like a queen in the world, but like a good wife and mother who is diligent and thrifty.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming, she hurriedly got up to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, both brothers fell on their knees and saluted their mother.

Queen Ma ordered all the textile utensils to be removed and called the two brothers to get up.

"Di'er, Tang'er, you haven't come back to see the queen mother for a long time, the queen mother wants to kill you, don't stand, sit down and talk."

She casually asked about what she had seen at sea, and Zhu Di picked up some interesting things and said them.

When he heard that they had discovered a continent, the people on it were all black, but they were warm and welcoming, and gave a warm welcome to the Ming fleet that had arrived there.

Not only Queen Ma, but even Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when she heard it.

"I have heard of a black-toothed country in the Book of Mountains and Seas, saying that the people there are polite and indisputable, and there is really such a place, we really want to meet the people there."

Zhu Di replied respectfully.

"Father Qizuo, the king of the Black Tooth Country, and the kings of more than a dozen countries on that continent will send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate them, and since they are by sea, it will take a year to get here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"We have the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, the main purpose of this trip to the sea is to crack down on pirates and strengthen trade relations with overseas countries, but anyone who admires my Ming culture and comes to congratulate will be treated with courtesy, so that they will return with a full load."
