Zhu Gaochi walked with the help of two strong eunuchs in the early days, and later his legs were so weak that it was difficult for the two eunuchs to support him, and he didn't live with Zhu Di, so there were not so many taboos in and out, basically he sat in a soft sedan chair.

This point is very clear to the Xu family, who has always cared about his sons.

Now, the emperor wants his son to walk around the palace every day, even if someone helps, it will kill him.

Mothers are so defeated!

Xu Shi also knew this, she closed her eyes, endured the heartache, and persuaded, "You are also a parent, when you can understand your father's feelings, will your father still harm you." You don't know how uncomfortable it is for me and your dad to see you every time you look like this. ”

Her hand was on her son's body, a thick layer of flesh, and she basically couldn't feel the bones in it, which reminded her of the hypochondria child she had heard about when she was a child.

Xu's heart was very sad, and he couldn't help but be angry at Wei's body, "For so many years, I haven't added a son and a half daughter to you, and I can't even take care of your body, my mother really doesn't know what she's busy with every day?" ”

Zhu Gaochi naturally didn't dare to defend a word, and lowered his head, "Mother, my son is back, teach her a good lesson." ”

"Go, go! Listen to your dad, eat less, lose weight. Xu felt bad when he looked at it.

This year's winter solstice is not much different from previous years, except that there are two more countries that come to the pilgrimage than in previous years.

The Golden Horde and the Rus' principalities sent envoys respectively, and these two countries had to marvel at the strength and strength of the Ming Dynasty from the first step on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and everywhere they went, they saw a powerful force that they could not have dreamed of.

After the banquet in the Heavenly Palace, basically the Ming court will not care about the life or death of these envoys. If you return to China, just report it, if you don't return to China, find a place to live by yourself, and if you still want to live in a state guesthouse, you can pay for it yourself.

The envoys did not go back, they walked around the capital, looked around, they were all in high positions in the country, but they envied the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty for no reason.

Those who pedal around selling tricycles, those who open stores to do business, those who rush to work in factories on the road, those who run and jump to school with schoolbags on their backs, not to mention that everyone is well-dressed, at least they are dressed very decently, and they all have smiles on their faces, which shows how rich life is.

The Ming Dynasty did not open the immigration system from beginning to end, and only had a relatively relaxed policy for the common people of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, but even so, many people from the surrounding countries flocked to the Ming Dynasty, and they brought a large amount of gold and silver, and bought some soap, writing pens, plastic bottles and other goods that other countries did not have to return to their own countries, and then were robbed.

In March, the sixteenth year of Yongle is still a year full of hope.

Although there was not much rain in the south this year, and there were only two rains in one spring, it did not hinder the people's spring ploughing.

Large reservoirs in various places have worked, and each village has a set of small pumps and pipelines, so even if it does not rain in the spring, spring planting will not be delayed.

This year, almost all the hybrid rice in the south of the Yangtze River has been planted, and on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, all the rice has been transplanted and is growing well.

"I heard that this kind of rice can double the yield per mu."

"We can harvest more rice this year, and the court didn't say that we would increase taxes, so let's pay more grain."

"There have been no additional taxes for many years, what are we doing with more grain, if the imperial court wants us to pay more grain, why should we take out the money to buy these water conservancy facilities for us?"

In the field, two fields were next to each other, and the people of the same village who were busy in the fields were gossiping, and they did not see anyone coming in this direction.

One was wearing a short coat and a hat on his head, followed by two attendants who were also wearing short clothes, walked over, and when he heard the words of these two people, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Fellow, it seems that this year's harvest is good." This is a hybrid rice, right? ”

"yes, hybrid rice. I heard that someone was planting last year, and an acre of land was harvested by hundreds of catties, and we took the initiative to buy this kind of seed this year without the need for the court to do work. The old farmer with a hat smiled.

He didn't know that the person who came to the field was Zhu Di, and he was very proud, "I have planted almost ten acres of land this year, and I will receive an extra 200 catties per acre, which is an extra 2,000 catties a year. “

"Uncle Ke, is this a little more income?" The man plowing the field next to him drove the oxen, shook the whip, and said loudly, "More than 2,000 catties, two seasons are more than 4,000 catties, this is a little more income?" ”

This Ke Lao Dad laughed, "You young babies don't know how to be humble, do you understand the truth that wealth is not exposed?" ”

Zhu Di also laughed and asked the man who was plowing the land, "Isn't this a tractor plowing the land?" How did you plow the land with oxen? ”

The man said, "You don't understand this, such a small piece of land, the tractor can't be drawn over, and there is nothing to do horizontally and vertically, so you can use oxen to plough the land." ”

Zhu Di continued to walk forward, looking at the busy crowd in the field, a gust of wind blew, bringing bursts of flowers, and his heart also became clear, how will he evaluate his era in the future?

Yongle Shengshi?

Driving back to the capital from the south, a vacant lot at the city gate, with three layers inside and three layers outside, crowded the city gate.

If Zhu Di wanted to enter the city, he had to take a detour.

"Go and see, what's going on?"

Saihazhi hurriedly asked people to inquire, and after a while, a brocade guard came back, and he looked very excited, "Your Majesty, it is the students of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics who are doing experiments, and their new aircraft is conducting test flights. ”

New aircraft? Test flight?

Zhu Di's heart skipped a wild beat and asked, "What about the Fourth Highness?" ”

The brocade guard shook his head, "The subordinates didn't ask, the subordinates will investigate." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand to stop, "Take a detour and enter the city." ”

Zhu Gaoxian was listening to a lecture given to the students by a teacher from the National University of Defense Technology, and the dog desperately glanced at him outside the door, so Zhu Gaoxian did not alarm the teachers and students and came out of the back door of the classroom.

"Your Highness, the emperor has called!"

Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly followed the dog to answer the phone, and at the other end, Zhu Di asked, "At the gate of the city, I heard that the students of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics are conducting test flights, do you know about this?" ”

It stands to reason that the words of the first flight should not be the first to know about him, the emperor?

Zhu Gaoxian guessed his father's thoughts, and couldn't help laughing, "Dad, it's a helicopter, it can only seat a few people, it flew from Jiuquan, and it stopped there temporarily, and it was not the first flight. ”

"Helicopters are also airplanes, why didn't Dad know that the first flight was successful?"

Zhu Gaoxian said, "When the test flight in Jiuquan was carried out, none of us knew whether it would be successful, just like a train, we had to run it several times before we dared to tell my father and hold a ceremony for my father to witness." ”

Zhu Di thought about it, if the first flight was held in a serious manner, what happened to him, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be a blow to morale?

"When is the first flight of this helicopter going to take place?" Zhu Di asked.

"In the past two days, fly a few times, it's really no problem, let's hold the first flight with great fanfare, and at that time, we will have a plane in Daming."

"Hurry up, then!" Zhu Di was a little impatient.

He hung up the phone, walked around the hall a little at a loss, thought of something, and asked, "Fang Cai, where was the Fourth Highness when you called?" ”

Huang Yan said respectfully, "Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness is at the National University of Defense Technology, listening to an associate professor's lecture. ”

"Shouldn't I rush him?" Zhu Di regretted a little, "This first flight, when will it not fly?" What are you doing in a hurry these days? Hurry up, go and send a message to the fourth child in person, just say that it is my will, let him do it step by step, do what he wants, and don't care what I just said to him. ”

Huang Yan hurriedly went to tell Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help laughing, but he was more able to understand his father's care for him, he said, "I know, the matter of helicopter flight, we should be cautious, and after a few more flights, we will hold a first flight ceremony in the capital." ”

The airport is in the suburbs, more than 100 kilometers away from the capital, and two highways connect the distance from the airport to the capital.

Seven days later, the first flight ceremony was held at the airport, flying from the main square at the gate of the capital to the airport, and then flying back from the airport, stopping at the city gate again.

Many ordinary people gathered at the gates of the city, and in order to ensure safety, the castle tower was opened to the common people, so that they could stand on a high place and watch safely.

And Zhu Di led the dignitaries in the airport, standing behind the glass wall of the highest building, looking at the helicopter on the parking apron.

Zhu Gaoxian circled around the helicopter, and after checking it from beginning to end with his fiery eyes, he said to the pilot, "Don't be nervous, the plane is not faulty, the calmer you are, the luckier you are!" ”

"Dean, don't worry, I'm not afraid, I've already flown almost a thousand kilometers, it's safe!"

The pilot, a cadet selected from the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, waved at Zhu Gaoxian, and when he retreated to the building, he started the plane, the propeller spun rapidly, and the plane got farther and farther from the ground and rose into the air.

"It's flying!" Some civil officials were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, as if they had also flown up, and despite Zhu Di's presence, they screamed in surprise.

By the time he reacted, his face was pale with fright, and his legs trembled.

Fortunately, Zhu Di's attention was not on this, he took a step forward, watched the plane turn around the airport, and flew towards the east, the direction of the capital.

"It's flying!" Zhu Di laughed, "I also have a plane in Daming, you Aiqing, whoever wants to take a plane, as long as you give silver, I will let you sit enough!" ”
