In the autumn of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu. When he was the grandson of the emperor of the imperial court, he was ordered to go out of Beijing. The emperor's will was very clear, and the imperial grandson was ordered to go to Zhongdu on behalf of the imperial court to attend the funeral of the late Xinguo Gong Tang He.

Subsequently, the imperial grandson continued to patrol the north, inspect the governor's palace of the river, and knot the good of the Wara Department. When the will is issued from the palace, the people in Yingtian City can be described as having a variety of lives.

Someone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There are also concerns about whether the New Deal will continue next. There are also some people who believe that the imperial grandson is the prince of the country, and he should not leave Beijing so easily, but also go to such dangerous places outside the Jiubian Pass.

It's just that this piece has its own thoughts, and Zhu Yunxi finally took Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu, the four entourages designated by the old man himself, on the road.

Together, there are also Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Town Fusun Cheng, secretly guarding Tianmai, and Jinyi Weiti Cavalry, Shangzhi pro-army Yulin Wei more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

Board the boat from Longwan Wharf to cross the river and land at Puzikou, Jiangpu County, Yingtianfu. Taking advantage of the gap between the officers and soldiers transporting the war horses ashore, Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and looked around Puzikou.

Puzikou is the closest north shore ferry port to Yingtian City Longwan Pier, where most people and goods heading north gather.

Today's Puzikou is also like Longwan Wharf, far more lively than in the past. The entire Puzi mouth seems to be crowded with countless people all the time.

In the distance, the black chimneys, day and night, are not sprayed with thick smoke at all times.

Huge warehouses with piles of goods being pulled out or fed in at all times. Gao Yangzhi looked at the imperial grandson who was paying attention to those workshops and warehouses, couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and explained softly: "Originally, these workshops and warehouses should have been placed in the area of the Taiping Mansion. Later, it was the prefect of Tianfu who made a concert, saying that it was more convenient to put some things on the north shore, so they were all moved here. ”

"Ying Tianzhifu is not your junior brother Zou Xueyu?" Zhu Yunxi mentioned it vigorously, and his eyes swept from Gao Yangzhi's face.

Knowing that Taisun understood everything, Gao Yangzhi's face was not embarrassed, and he still said with a smile: "Since returning to Beijing, the minister has never seen this fellow disciple again. "We are innocent, even if you are the emperor's grandson, don't make trouble!

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Is Zou Xueyu waiting for the construction of the Yuanmen Wharf and the digging of the new waterway connecting Xuanwu Lake, and then he will build a new wharf here in Jiangpu County?" After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked at Gao Yangzhi calmly, watching the expression on the other party's face change slightly.

Gao Yangzhi finally showed an embarrassed smile and whispered: "The minister seems to have seen this concerto, and the cabinet has also approved it." ”

"You are all people who have accumulated a lot of experience in the way of Jiaozhi, and you are familiar with the way of officials. Now how many people have responded to the sky, since they have returned, they will take the essence of the original experience, remove the dross, and govern in the land of the capital. Zhu Yunxi spoke, looked at Gao Yangzhi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, then raised his hand and continued: "Although it is only the beginning now, if there are too many workshops around Yingtian that smoke is rising, it will not look good, move to Jiangbei, let Jingshi stay away from the smoke, and facilitate the delivery of goods in Jiangbei, Zou Xueyu thought very well." Gao Yang stopped his chin and arched his hand: "It's also selfish, these workshops and warehouses should be left in Tianfu, and the taxes will naturally be left in Tianfu." Zhu Yunxi pouted: "This is their ability to respond to Tianfu, others have taken a fancy to these workshops, so they just have to build them themselves." "Starting from the women in the Huangzhuang outside Yingtian City, they concentrated spinning and weaving, and then to the workshops built according to local conditions on the side of the Taiping Mansion Mine.

Nowadays, in the entire surrounding area of Yingtianfu, several concentrated manpower workshops have been built. There is an endless stream of foreign businessmen coming, at least at the moment, the imperial court does not have to worry about the things that are made, and in the end they can only be collected into the warehouse to eat ashes.

These words were high and chose to be silent. According to His Royal Highness's meaning, this is to be achieved by the local government fighting.

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, looked at the crowded Puzikou, and said, "It's very good that Tianfu wants to build Shangyuanmen Wharf. For all such things involving military affairs, the imperial court will still have to divide the government and the people step by step in the future. Gao Yangzhi immediately replied: "The cabinet has arranged relevant matters around Yingtian, and strives not to delay the luck of the people and merchants in the future, nor can it delay the military affairs of the imperial court." At this time, on the pier trestle, the thousands of Niu Dafu of the Beijing army were already against the knife and walked over majestically.

When Niu Dafu approached, he immediately clenched his fists and lowered his head, banging.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness Taisun, and I have seen Gao Ge Lao." Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Niu Dafu: "But the war horses have all gone ashore?" Niu Dafu nodded: "Back to Your Highness, you can continue to set off for Fengyang, the central capital." ”

"Let's go!" Zhu Yunxi let out a low snort, and the officers and soldiers brought up by Tian Mai surrounded him and passed through the crowded Puzikou.

When he got out of the range of Puzikou, another lively scene appeared in Zhu Yunxi's sight.

Zhu Yunxi, who was already riding on horseback, waved the horsewhip in his hand and pointed forward: "This is the cement road leading to Fengyang City." Gao Yangzhi glanced at it, and then looked sideways at Bai Yuxiu on horseback on the side.

"Wei Chen doesn't know much about this matter, so it's better to have Lao Bai in charge and His Royal Highness." He's just pretending to be clear, and it's so obvious.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Bai Yuxiu on the side with kindness. The young head of the Qing Officials Department was still a little nervous, and coughed lightly: "Back to Your Highness, this is indeed the cement road leading to Fengyang. Both ends of the Ministry of Engineering started at the same time, and it is expected to be repaired next year. Zhu Yunxi looked at Bai Yuxiu, and then his eyes moved to the cement road construction site.

Bai Yuxiu frowned for a moment and continued: "According to the words of the cabinet, the several cement roads built by the imperial court have recruited people along the roads to work and engage in some processes. Most of them are based on ...... Yingzhou is dominated by laborers. Several people watched the past.

The imperial court's large-scale use of Yingzhou laborers is nothing new. Even the officials of the imperial court seem to be able to make these laborers work hard for the imperial court as long as they are given a bite to eat, but if they are a little dissatisfied, they will directly cut off their heads.

Such a simple thing is happy for everyone in the Manchu Dynasty. The construction of the country is carried out in a way that everyone knows the blood hidden behind it, but no one will take the initiative to single out this matter.

Everyone looked at the construction site, and it was almost impossible to tell where the workers came from. Only by careful observation can we tell that the people of the Ming Dynasty recruited from the vicinity of the road have more joyful expressions on their faces.

In fact, the imperial court did not need to recruit people from the roads at all. It's just that when it comes to local matters, if the slightest mishandling is not done, it may cause anger among the people.

Let the people along the road participate in the construction of the cement road, not so much because of the lack of labor, but because the court has an extra amount of money and food to appease the people along the road, and it can be regarded as knowing these people in advance that they should have a mind to protect the road in the future.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "The Ministry of Industry is doing a good job." It's just that in the future, I'm afraid that the railway will not be built so easily...... "The cement road can also be built on the original road, and only in some parts of the road is rough, it may be possible to change the route or change the terrain."

But railways are different. In order to ensure the safety of the trains, one of the guidelines for the construction of railways is to keep them as straight as possible.

This made Zhu Yunxi think of all kinds of things he had heard at the beginning. Some of them are involved in local clan feng shui and other issues, which has also caused several turmoil.

However, if Daming wants to build a railway, it will probably take some time to prepare. After leaving Puzikou, the team went north along the official road post road leading to Fengyang Mansion, the central capital.

Going to Fengyang, it is only three hundred miles of land, and it only takes four or five days to get there in a hurry.

On behalf of the imperial court, the imperial grandson came to Fengyang in person to participate in the funeral of the Xinguo Mansion. Before the news Taisun's team arrived in Fengyang, they had already entered the city.

Fengyang is not like other places, and the city is full of people who have made great achievements in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor started from Huaiyou, and Fengyang, as his hometown, was the place with the most meritorious ministers.

But anyone who can be counted and ranked number one must buy a set of family businesses in Fengyang City. Morning.

Outside Fengyang City, the old and young people of the Xinguo Mansion have already come out and are waiting for the official road. Even with it, the Central Capital Left-behind Division, Fengyang Mansion, and various families in the city also sent people out of the city.

Originally, according to the meaning of the central capital to stay in the Yamen and Fengyang Mansion, he wanted to go to the Hongxin Post sixty miles away to pick up the emperor's grandson.

The officers and soldiers of the advance team came to report in advance that Fengyang Mansion did not need to make a big move, and did not want to disturb the local people.

In this way, it can be regarded as letting the people in Fengyang City only wait outside the city. Time passes little by little, and at this time, the autumn is crisp, and it is a little longer to wait, and I don't feel tired.

Before the end of the day, it was noon, and in the distance, there was already movement on the official road. The government immediately sent a messenger to inquire about the news.

It didn't take long for the people from the government to come on horseback.

"It's Taisun!"

"It's His Royal Highness Taisun who has come down!" The messenger rode his horse and shouted loudly. The officials of Fengyang Mansion immediately raised their hands and greeted: "All cheer up!" Don't want Your Highness to lose our Fengyang's face in front of him! "If it weren't for the death of the Duke of Xinguo, Fengyang Mansion would definitely arrange three classes of drum music to welcome the imperial grandson to Fengyang Mansion by beating gongs and drums.

The remaining guards in the middle capital looked at the old and young of the Tang family, and then said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Taisun rarely comes to the central capital, this time it can be regarded as returning to the land of the ancestors, if anyone loses the rudeness in front of His Royal Highness, it will be against the entire Zhongdu!" "The Tang family who went out of the city today, there are always dozens of people of all ages.

Mrs. Xinguo's Hu clan was wearing an edict inside, with a hemp rope tied around her waist, and several daughters supported her to the front of the Li Tang family's team.

Tang Xie, the fourth elder of the Tang family, who had already returned to Fengyang from Yingtian, led a group of men in the family to wait quietly.

Tang Li, who is now serving in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, also returned to Fengyang with his fourth brother Tang Xie. As for Tang Xuan, the second eldest of the Tang family, he has been on an errand guard in Taiyuan all these years, although on the day Tang He died, the Tang family sent someone to Taiyuan Mansion to report the funeral.

But according to the distance, it will take a few days for Tang Xuan to rush back to Fengyang. On the official road, the emperor's grandson, Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, Shangzhi pro-army Yu Linwei, all kinds of banners are lined up.

Even Gao Yangzhi has a banner that belongs to him, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson." When the soldiers and horses in front of the team moved to both sides, exposing Zhu Yunxi, who was riding on horseback, in front of the various divisions and families in Fengyang, everyone bowed down one after another.

This is one of the few times His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has returned to Fengyang for the second time. I can't tolerate the concentration of the upper and lower people, go all out, and don't leave a bad impression in front of my grandson.

Zhu Yunxi sat on horseback and looked at the crowd under the city. There are people who stayed behind in the central capital to guard the Yamen, as well as people from Fengyang Mansion, and there are also people from the Yamen of Fengyang, Linhuai, Huaiyuan, and Dingyuan counties directly under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Mansion.

In addition, all the Huaiyou meritorious deeds that can be called, such as the six princes and twenty-seven marquis of the year, were also present one by one.

"Everybody, get up." Zhu Yunxi hit the horse and approached, and the personal guards stepped forward to lead the horse, but he dismounted lightly.

After Zhu Yunxi, there were Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu and others, as well as the accompanying officials of the Six Ministries and Three Law Divisions.

"Thank you." Under the city, the people of Zhongdu stood up respectfully. Feng Yunsong, who stayed behind in the central capital, immediately stepped forward: "Your Highness is working in boats and cars, and Zhongdu has set up a banquet today to wash the dust for His Highness and your superiors." Later, you can move to stay in the middle of the palace. "Zhongdu stayed behind in the Yamen, this is robbing people!

Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang Mansion on the side, glanced at Feng Yunsong, who was left behind in the central capital, and swallowed the words he wanted to lure His Highness to stay in the Mansion Palace.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly, and his eyes slanted to Gao Yangzhi beside him. Gao Yangzhi immediately stepped forward and said to the people in Zhongdu: "Your Royal Highness entered the city today, first went to the Xinguo Mansion, paid tribute to the late Xinguo Gong on behalf of the imperial court, and then moved to the Imperial City of the Central Capital to worship the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty." Feng Yunsong and Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang Mansion, were suddenly dumbfounded, the imperial grandson was not going anywhere, he first went to pay tribute to the Duke of Xinguo, and then went to live in the imperial city.

They are not given the opportunity to be attentive at all. At this time, Gao Yangzhi said again: "The accompanying soldiers and horses will be settled by the Central Capital Guard." The accompanying officials were settled by Fengyang Mansion. "The left-behind division of the Zhongdu is the head yamen of the guards and horses on the boundary of the Zhongdu, and it is reasonable to settle the accompanying soldiers and horses.

The accompanying officials were placed by Fengyang Mansion, which also echoed common sense. It seems to be impartial. It's just that the two brothers Tang Xie and Tang Li on the side are a little nervous.

His Royal Highness entered the city to go to his home to pay tribute to his deceased father, which was the grace of the imperial court, and the Tang family would only be full of glory. But His Royal Highness is going to stay in the Zhongdu Palace, which is a headache.

The scorched waste, but he was imprisoned in Fengyang and lived in the palace of Zhongdu. This is where you don't see when you look up.

It is difficult for His Highness to bump into the wasted people. Recommended commuter passes
