Chapter 373: Take the train to Yunnan

Chara. Tristang was released from prison by the Ming Dynasty, but he was still not free, but was hired as a language teacher at the Ming Imperial Academy, teaching English and Portuguese.

It was too hard for Challa and the students who were studying.

In every class, it is basically a chicken and a duck, but fortunately, he starts with the most basic words, and Chara is a very good and responsible teacher, in order for himself to be able to communicate with his classmates as soon as possible, he tries his best to express his meaning to the students.

Fang Xiaoru didn't understand very much, the Ming Dynasty is the center of the world, the core of the earth, and the east is the place where the sun rises, why do they want to learn this kind of language?

Zhu Gaoxian let Fang Xiaoru get up from the ground and said, "You are in charge of the Department of Education, if you still have the idea of closing the country and closing the country, and my Daming is the identity of the suzerainty of the world, Daming will be finished." We do have to have such domineering, I am the greatest country in the world, but we have to lower our stature, learn all the strengths of others, know ourselves and know the enemy, we don't even understand other people's language, what do we talk about knowing ourselves and knowing the other?"

Fang Xiaoru's face turned red, and he muttered for a long time, "It's the minister who is too narrow-minded!"

"At the beginning of the school year next year, we will divide into a language class, and by then Chara should be able to speak a few words of Chinese, so we will open a special major, and let Chara prepare teaching materials for us and teach a group of students who can communicate on a daily basis."

"Your Highness, do you want these students to go to the West?" Fang Xiaoru was shocked.

Zhu Gaoxian stood in front of the window, looking out, he thought for a long time, "I don't know for the time being, maybe there will be a day!"

This trip is too far away, and Zhu Gaoxian always can't make a decision.

In the tenth year of Yongle, on the third day of August, the railway from Shuntianfu to Jiuquan was opened, and the railway to Yunnan was also opened.

Mu took her and Zhu Gaoxian's eldest son and eldest daughter on the train to Yunnan, and she watched the scenery along the way backwards, so excited that she couldn't sleep all the way.

Three days ago, Mu informed her parents in Yunnan by phone that she would take the train back to visit relatives.

Including her, no one in the Mu family thought that after she married into the royal family, she would be able to go home one day to save her relatives.

His father and mother wanted to pick him up, but Zhu Gaoxian said that he didn't need to, and sent more guards to let her take her two children back to Yunnan.

The finch slave and the big girl were very strong and excited, running around on the train, chasing and fighting, and the irritability, restlessness, and homesickness in Mu's heart were gone.

The queen mother did not agree with her to take the child back to Yunnan, afraid that the child would be too young and unadaptable, but Zhu Gaoxian was not worried at all, and felt that the child should walk thousands of miles.

I don't know where he got those strange thoughts, but last year, the Tai Hospital invented a medicine named penicillin, which is very effective and can cure anyone who has tuberculosis.

The hospital began to vaccinate smallpox again, but all newborns had to be inoculated against smallpox, and Daming's medical treatment has developed to the point where people are no longer worried.

This is probably the reason why Zhu Gaoxian has the confidence to let his only son and only daughter come out.

The train entered the Kunming platform, and through the glass window, Mu Shi saw her father and mother waiting on the platform, and her tears fell in a flash.

The one-and-a-half-year-old girl saw it, threw herself into her mother's arms, put her arms around her neck and shouted, "Mother, mother!"

The finch slave looked at her mother and was very calm, "Mother, who bullied you, and my son beat him!"

Mu Shi was amused by her son all of a sudden, she took her son's hand and hugged her daughter, "Let's go, let's get out of the car, grandfather and grandmother are here to pick us up!"

Mu Sheng and Cheng had already gotten on the train, Mu Sheng took a deep look at his daughter, and his eyes fell on his grandson, and he was about to salute, but the bird slave asked, "Are you my grandfather?"

"Chen Musheng has seen the prince of Yan Wang!"

Cheng was also stunned for a moment, retracted the hand stretched out towards the big girl, a little overwhelmed, she was so excited that she forgot that there was still a number of courtesies.

"Excuse me!" Although the bird slave was young, he was very generous, and he raised his hand slightly, "My father said that after the state salute, he wants me to perform a family salute to my grandfather and grandmother!"

After speaking, he pulled the eldest girl and arched his hand to Mu Sheng and Cheng, "Grandson Quenu, the eldest girl has seen her grandfather and grandmother!"

Where did Mu Sheng and Cheng dare to accept his courtesy, they hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but they were also ecstatic.

After the bird slave got up, he jumped and jumped on Mu Sheng's body, showing the child's innocence, climbing on Mu Sheng's body with both hands and feet, and cheering, "Grandfather, my father said that your martial arts are world-famous, can you teach me?"

Mu Sheng was slightly shocked, but he also realized the deep affection that blood was thicker than water, he hurriedly hugged this grandson who made him think about it day and night, and said, "Your father has won the award, where is your grandfather's martial arts?"

The girl's weak little hand pulled the hem of Mu Sheng's robe, and she was about to cry, shouting, "Brother, brother!"

Cheng hurriedly bent down to pick up his granddaughter, and the eldest girl stretched out her hands and shouted at Mu Sheng, "Hug, hug, brother, hug!"

Mu Sheng hurriedly hugged the big girl with his other arm and said to his daughter, "When we get home, we will make up the number of courtesies!"

Mu Shi was already in a complicated mood, tears were rippling, and she hurriedly said, "What did Daddy say? Even if a daughter is married, she is still her father's daughter!"

Mu Sheng hugged the child in his arms, very emotional, his eyes moistened, "Your Royal Highness and the princess's children are very good, very good!"

Getting off the train, Mu and Cheng took a car, Mu Sheng took the two children and sat in another car, on the car, the finch slave chattered and didn't listen, and the big girl fell asleep after a while.

In the Xiping Hou Mansion, for the arrival of the mother and son, the courtyard was specially cleaned up, and the courtyard where the Mu family lived before leaving the pavilion was opened up and connected to a courtyard next to it, so that the mother and son could stay.

After freshening up, Mu Sheng and Cheng came to the courtyard to talk, until now, they couldn't understand why Zhu Gaoxian would let Mu take the child back to save his relatives.

"When you say it, it's just talking, where is there really any? Even if there is, you don't say it sooner, let the family make some preparations." Cheng looked his daughter up and down, and saw that her daughter was very good-looking, and her clothes and hairpins were also gorgeous, so she couldn't see that she was having a bad time in the royal family.

"The main thing is that the railway from Yunnan to Beijing has been opened this time!" Mu remembered that her husband went back that day and told her that Yunnan Beijing was open to traffic, and her expression was slightly in a trance at that time, and it was probably because her husband saw it that he had a proposal.

"What does this have to do with you coming back to save your family?" Cheng is still blaming her daughter, "Did you leave your husband at home alone and run back to her parents' house by herself?"

"It was His Highness who proposed it, and he said, when I come back this time, everyone knows that this railway is very safe, and the people will not be afraid if they take the train again. This is just like back then, when the railway between the two capitals was connected, and the emperor took the queen from Yingtianfu to Shuntianfu, and the common people boldly took the train.

Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Then how long will you stay when you come back this time?"

On the one hand, she wanted her daughter to stay a few more days, and on the other hand, she wanted her daughter to go back early.

"Your Highness asked me to go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Mu Shi knew what she was thinking in her heart, but some things were not easy to say, so she asked her father, "Your Highness asked me to ask, has the hybrid rice over there made progress this year?"

Mu Sheng said, "Hybrid rice is too difficult, and there has been a little progress, but not much. In the past few years, I have found a few people who are willing to study to help Zhang Ben, and all of Zhang Ben's government affairs have been handed over, and every time it seems that there has been progress, but the second year, the results are not ideal."

Mu said, "The Ming Imperial Academy has come up with chemical fertilizers, and the selling price is set very low, and the common people can basically afford it. The harvest in the fields is also much higher than before. His Royal Highness's intention is not to worry about Zhang Ben, the nine hundred and ninety-nine tests have all failed, and the successful one is behind."

Mu Sheng nodded deeply, "Your Highness knows people well, is discerning, and treats people generously, it is really ...... Lord!"

Mu thought so, "Your Highness said that this is for the benefit of the country and the people

If Zhang Ben can make certain achievements in this matter, in the future, not only will he be famous in history, but the academicians of the Academy of Sciences will have a place for him!"

Mu Sheng couldn't help but feel a burst of envy and jealousy in his heart, he hurriedly got up, and after listening to these words, he said to Mu Shi, "The minister must bring His Highness's words here."

Next, they talked about some other things, and the Mu family told Mu Sheng about the affairs of the capital and the progress in the west, and she probably wanted to relax the heart of the Cheng family, "Your Highness's energy in the past two years has been focused on the cause of the western side, saying that it is to arrange some defense system. After Yili became an autonomous province of Xinjiang, General Zhang Fu went to the Golden Horde a few days ago, and I heard that he sold a lot of weapons out."

When she said the latter words, Mu's voice was very low, and she instructed her father, "Although His Royal Highness did not hide these things from his daughter, his father and mother must not say it outside. If it is known to the people, it will have a bad reputation."

Mu Sheng's face flushed, he touched the beard on his chin, and nodded repeatedly, "I have always said that the Fourth Highness is a very remarkable person throughout the ages, you are by Your Highness's side, you must serve Your Highness well." Is the finch slave enlightened? How do you say you want to learn kung fu?"

"It's the bird slave who pesters His Royal Highness to learn martial arts, presumably it was the father and the queen mother who casually commented on the military generals of the court last time, and said to the bird slave at that time, your grandfather's kung fu is good, and he heard it in his heart." Mu said, "My father said that he wanted to enlighten the bird slave, and His Royal Highness said that he would be enlightened after the age of six, and he was not in a hurry to study, and there was time for reading in this life."
