Chapter 697: One Man's New Year

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

It's a good day.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi didn't expect that the old man would hold a Zen ceremony at this point.

As for the role of Qin Tianjian, it is probably just to rationalize the days chosen by the old man.

"In such a hurry?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered lightly.

He originally expected that it would be when the spring flowers bloomed that the old man would hold a Zen ceremony.

After all, this is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who voluntarily took the initiative to concede.

In addition, the current Ming Dynasty can be said to be unprecedentedly strong, and the country's strength far exceeds that of any previous dynasty.

The Founding Emperor's Zen Ceremony must be extremely grand.

Not to mention that all the nations came to watch the ceremony, at least the small surrounding states of Fanbang had to send envoys and even the lords of the country to watch the ceremony.

In addition, the chief officials of various provinces and the feudal kings of various places.

These people entered Beijing together, and they had to prepare for many months.

Zhu Gaoji moved his mouth: "Grandpa's meaning is just to make the crown prince's name right, and the Chinese martial arts officials and the clan family are present together, hold a grand ceremony, worship heaven and earth, and the sect temple, and then make a clear announcement to the world, this matter can be regarded as a good thing." ”

"Then this year, I'm afraid many people will have a bad time."

Zhu Yunxi said lightly.

didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to respond.

A big fish had already jumped out of the water on the lake, and immediately the fishing rod in Zhu Yunxi's hand sank down violently.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing didn't have any harvest today after all, and they also missed the big fish that Zhu Yunxi caught with more than 30 catties.

When the night sprinkled in Jinling City.

The wind and snow in the day have stopped, and the empty Xicheng project construction site is silent except for the light in the house.

Occasionally, a few workers would walk into the food hut in the heart of the West Side after finishing their final work and creaking through the snow outside.

In the shack, it's warm.

As soon as people come in, they can smell the strong smell of sauerkraut.

Although it is rare to see a big fish of more than 30 catties, it is not enough for nearly 1,000 workers who stayed at the construction site.

Big Fish naturally made a pot of sauerkraut fish alone and sent it to the table of Taisun and a group of craftsmen and construction site leaders.

Lao Jia's father and son took the recruited helpers to slaughter more than 300 catties of fish, and opened 30 cauldrons in a row, which was worthy of stewing the sauerkraut fish.

After the stew is cooked, it is divided into a small pot and sent to the table, and then a small stove is added, and it can be slowly stewed and eaten, and the green vegetables and tofu sent by Lin Yuan are added to it while eating.

And then there's the beef and mutton that everyone can eat with their stomachs open and it's impossible to eat it all.

The main body of Daqing City is now almost complete.

Most of the workers there also began to move on to building buildings in the city.

Many herders and Han Chinese have also moved into the city from camps outside the city.

When those herdsmen saw their companions living in the Daqing City built by themselves, everyone believed with certainty that only by following the Ming Dynasty could they truly live a good life.

The enthusiasm for construction in the area of Daqingcheng is once again rising.

As a result, there was beef and mutton that Ying Tiancheng couldn't eat.

At each table in the shack, there is a pot of stewed beef, a pot of stewed beef bones, a pot of stewed mutton, a pot of mutton and scorpions, and then braised beef, cold beef, and beef and mutton haggis soup.

There is no shortage of meat.

On the contrary, green vegetables are rare.

Because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Daming Business also specially sent several truckloads of wine.

This account is not counted in the general ledger of the construction of the Xicheng project, it is all sponsored by the friendship of Daming firm.

After all, the Xicheng project that has been built, and the overall operation will be handed over to Daming Company in the future.

There was wine, there was meat, and a few peanuts were served.

These simple people in the past became emotionally high, and their courage became bigger.

Fortunately, the wine jug in Zhu Yunxi's hand has long been replaced with white water.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out of this shack today.

Late at night, the people in the shack continued.

Zhu Yunxi left the scene early.

In the compliments and congratulations of everyone, Zhu Yunxi slowly walked out of the shack.

Inside the room, the atmosphere was a little higher.

It seems that someone is starting to propose a gladiatorial fight, and someone is shouting for a fist fight.

There are even some people with wages in their pockets, and they begin to call the conveners to gamble a few times and push a few rounds of mahjong.

Zhu Yunxi, who walked out of the shack, let out a long breath of turbidity, and then sucked the cold air outside the house into his lungs.

There were several loud bangs, coming from afar.

Zhu Yunxi moved his body according to the sound.

It is the direction of South City and Midtown.

Someone over there has already started fireworks.

Colorful fireworks burst into the night sky, lighting up the entire sky.

This is a thriving Daming.

Zhu Yunxi smiled on his face, but he bent over, put his hands together, shrunk his head, and walked aimlessly.

It's just his head, but he doesn't stop thinking.

Up to now, the various measures of innovation have been announced to the world, so that everyone in the world knows.

It's just that until now, there will always be times when things come to a standstill.

That is, now.

More and more contradictions between the imperial court and the local government have been exposed.

Although the inherent contradictions between different strata have been cleared up, there are still many problems that have always existed.

This cannot be transferred by Zhu Yunxi's own will.

The existence of a country.

The existence of a strong and prosperous nation.

There will inevitably be a managerial class and a managed class.

As a result, contradictions and different interests naturally arise.

Since a long time ago, Zhu Yunxi has understood a truth.

No system can be completely fair and just.

Even if one day the Ming Dynasty has unprecedented wealth in material resources, it is impossible for everyone to live a carefree life with food and clothing.

Because the development of the country requires a large number of people to fight for it every day.

Everyone has a house to live in, everyone has something to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear.

It's just a very basic requirement.

It's not that hard to meet such a requirement.

The hard part is to get everyone to live the same life.

This point Zhu Yunxi can swear, no one can do it.

If one day, everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty can live the same life, then the Ming Dynasty will also come to the moment of destruction.

This is a very cruel and realistic problem.

Just like now, he can stand here and wander freely, while the people in the shack will continue to work in this cold winter after dawn tomorrow.

But.

Life always needs something to look forward to.

So, Zhu Yunxi gave Daming a long time ago to look forward to a prosperous era.

That's why there will be the emergence of Hongwu's New Deal.

This is the most fundamental logic of this matter.

In the same way, he promised that the people would live a good life, so the people would be willing to believe and fight according to the plan of the imperial court.

The day the West Side project was completed.

These people who participated in the construction will inevitably live a better life, and the imperial court will also get an unprecedented western city.

This is also the core law and logic of the development of things.

It's just that some people are not willing to accept such laws and logic.

They also hope that they can live a life of being supported by the people at the lower levels.

They don't need to appeal, but the people need to work for them to live a good life.

The old man let him, and the prince drove himself out of the imperial city, which is all a bureau.

When the ruler of a country changes, it is a period of fluctuation of people's hearts.

At this time, everyone is waiting for the power change, which will lead to a power gap.

Since ancient times, there has been a classic saying that a son of heaven is a courtier.

This has never been groundless, nor is it a fantasy of the people.

Even if it's just a shop manager, when he is new to his post, he will try his best to change some loyal buddies.

Not to mention the supreme power ruler of a country.

Zhang Ergong was dismissed from his post as secretary of the Ministry of Labor.

Pan Deshan, the governor of the river, was recalled to Beijing to report on his work.

All this has made people see that the crown prince is preparing to update the court officials.

Xiaopang may feel that he stays on the Xicheng construction site every day, and he has turned a deaf ear to these things above the court.

But he didn't know that even if it was a small steward in the Taiping Mining Area of Taiping Mansion, he was clear about the change to the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

After the expansion, there are many members of the Secret Guard.

After Zhu Biao handed these people over to Zhu Yunxi, he really didn't care about the secret guard at all.

Now, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Yunxi knows how many secret guards there are and where these people are.

The direction of the wind above the court is changing dramatically.

Although no one said anything publicly.

But the rumors have long since changed.

Even Zhu Gaochi didn't know that there were already people preparing to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and then he would choose a concubine and appoint Empress Daming.

The birth of a Ming Empress can produce a huge interest group.

What followed was a transfer of power throughout the imperial court.

Looking for a new daughter-in-law for the prince's father?

Zhu Yunxi thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

It's just that at the huge Xicheng construction site, people are staying in shacks, but there is no one outside.

No one could see the bad taste in Zhu Yunxi's laughter at this time.

Walking and walking.

Zhu Yunxi looked up and saw that he had arrived at the gate of the rugby field.

The grass on the pitch has been covered with snow.

The surrounding grandstands, which have since undergone several renovations, have been roofed.

At this time, the stands are very clean.

Zhu Yunxi's home footsteps were full of bad taste, and he stepped straight into the snow on the court.

Less.

The snow course, which was originally smooth and clean, was very good-looking, but there was a deep footprint.

Passing through the rugby field, there is the area of the lecture hall not far in front of you.

It seems that a place to study such as the Shobudo is either located in the mountains or surrounded by greenery.

The lecture hall was originally located in a vacant lot in Xicheng.

In the beginning, there were still large areas of farmland around.

Good water for the ground!

It's just that in the past few years, a large circle of land around the lecture hall has been planted with trees.

This group of reckless men in the army later felt that the trees were growing slowly, so they mobilized the local guards to transplant countless trees of all kinds to plant them.

There are many precious trees among them.

Qiongzhou Mansion sent hundreds of thick huanghuali trees.

There are also Shuzhong and the southwest side, and they are even more crazy to send a full ninety-nine pillars of waist-thick golden silk nanmu trees.

As for those trees with thick grinding plates and a height of more than ten zhang, they are nothing.

On the other side of Cochin Road, there are many such trees.

The forest was a little dark and impermeable.

Step on the forest trail and be protected from the slightest wind and snow.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes swept around the forest.

If it had been placed in the past, it was very likely that there would have been so many students in this forest who were punished at the cost of guarding the secret posts in the forest.

However, since the start of the Xicheng project, Jiangwutang has changed the way of punishment for these students.

As for how he was punished now, Zhu Yunxi didn't pay attention.

Anyway, according to the urine nature of those noble veterans, these punished students must have no good fruit to eat.

Zhu Yunxi walked forward again, and he could already see the faint lights in the lecture hall.

But he stopped.

At this time, it is still not suitable to enter the lecture hall.

Now in this special period, if I go to the lecture hall, it will inevitably make people have many unnecessary ideas.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi turned around.

Taisun Mansion has probably been replaced with red lanterns tonight.

It's just that when I go back from Xicheng, I get the second half of the night.

There are a few rooms on the construction site in Xicheng, which were originally for the officials in charge of the construction site.

The conditions are a little worse, but not much worse.

Zhu Yunxi decided that he would better find an empty room and stay here for one night.

So, Zhu Yunxi, who had made a decision, turned around and took steps.

Soon.

On the empty rugby field, there is another deep footprint.

The two footprints are not straight, but curved and entangled.

In addition to the court, Zhu Yunxi discerned the direction, and then continued to walk.

Soon.

The viewing lake, which is located at the foot of the viewing mountain no more than 20 meters high, appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi's eyes.

Continue along the road around the lake to reach your accommodation.

At this time, the cold wind was a little faster.

The snow that had stopped in the sky began to fall one after another.

Suddenly.

Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked ahead with a slight frown.

In front of him was a pavilion perched on the edge of a lake.

It seems to be the pavilion where he fished with Chubby and Han.

At this moment, the lights are on in the pavilion, and in the wind and snow, there is a figure about to be shadowed, which is slowly dancing.

Zhu Yunxi's heart tightened.

In this kind of weather, in addition to the people on the project, where will anyone come to the central area of the construction site.

Even on weekdays, the good people in the city are at most just watching the outskirts for a while, asking about some gossip they don't know.

Zhu Yunxi's right hand stopped swinging.

Once again, the footsteps have been taken.

On his right arm, there was always a short firecracker.

Reload.

As long as you open the trigger, you can pull the shot.

Within ten steps.

Invincible!
