Chapter 456: The Contest Begins
Zhu Gaochi was driving, and when Wei helped him pack up, he saw that he couldn't stand steadily, so he persuaded him, "Your Highness, don't go with you this time, take care of your body, but it's better than anything else." ”
Zhu Gaochi insisted on driving, "In the past, every time my father went to the country, he was in charge of the country. This time, if this king, the king of the prison country, doesn't do it, it's a joke in vain, so it's better to follow and relax. ”
"The concubine is going with you?" Webster also wanted to go out, and the few times she went out were in a hurry, and she was not free.
Where is like Mu's, but whenever Zhu Gaoxian is driving, Mu's can follow, vacationing on Jeju Island and Yamato Island, Ubu Sucheng has been to many times, and after two years, she can take the child back to her mother's house, and this Ming is about to be run all over by her.
Wei Shi wants to follow, and Zhu Gaochi has to ask for a decree.
He put on an excerpt, Zhu Di approved it without saying a word, and there was not a single extra word on the reply, which made Zhu Gaochi very sad and uneasy.
On the morning of 18 August, a special train slowly drove out of Yingtianfu Station, and the crowd on the platform knelt down to greet the emperor, followed by another train, carrying the people who saw them off in the same direction.
In the special train, Zhu Di and Xu, as well as Zhu Gaoxian, Mu and the children are in a carriage, and the back carriage is Zhu Gaochi's family.
Zhu Di inadvertently Zhu Gaochi meant, he and his youngest son sat in front of the window while enjoying the scenery outside, while playing chess, "I plan to go to Mingwei Island to have a look." ”
Zhu Gaoxian said, "Dad will wait for the second brother to come back before going, or will he go now and come back with the second brother at the end of the year?" ”
"You can arrange it!"
Zhu Gaoxian said, "The airport over there has been built, and when the autumn hunting is over, my son will accompany his father to go." For so many years, the second brother has been stationed there alone, and I don't know what the situation is over there, but I only heard the second brother write back every time he writes back and says that Daming Town has been built very beautifully and has become a big city. ”
"Let's take a look."
The road from Shuntianfu to Ubu Sucheng has been repeatedly renovated over the years, and it has been repaired very well, several stations have been added along the road, special trains can be stopped at any time, there are cities nearby, and the economy has developed very well.
This time, Zhu Di was not in the mood to stop along the way, and early the next morning, the train slowly approached the station and stopped at the station in Ubu Sucheng.
Ubudsu City is a summer resort for Zhu Di, where tens of thousands of hectares of royal mountains and forests are used for hunting. The rich people of the Ming Dynasty are all present here, and the courtiers who often have to accompany them do not dare not buy property here.
Perennial travel from south to north, coupled with the past two years, dealing with Timur and the Golden Horde, the population flow is frequent, and the economy here has also reached a higher level.
"Last year, the commercial tax revenue of just one Ubu Su city was more than 30 million taels of silver, and the small business basically did not pay taxes, mainly relying on the money of arms, and several arsenals were opened here, specializing in selling weapons to the Golden Horde, and the Rus' people also often came to purchase weapons, and the import and export taxes were not cheap."
Xia Yuanji is a little old, but he is in good spirits, he has been busy all his life, and the economic development of the Ming Dynasty is very good, he cherishes his old time more and more, and hopes to be able to enter the "Legend of the Sages" in history in the future.
Ru Yu is his old partner, in the dining car, the two sat face to face, asked for a pot of tea, a plate of peanuts, and chatted while talking, in case Zhu Di was summoned.
"Throughout the ages, no household secretary has been in your share. Other household books are to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, you are good, thinking about how to use the money every day. Ru Yu said angrily.
"I just allocated a sum of money to go out, and the north and south will build medical universities, and next year the local tax will definitely be discounted a little, mainly because the hospital will be built, and the local officials will lobby those who open clinics to see if they can let those old doctors bring a few more apprentices to work in the hospitals run by the imperial court, and the state will issue them."
"What about the herbs? With so many hospitals, is the price of medicinal materials going to rise? ”
"Your Highness's meaning, make more medicines. This involves a number of technologies, and medical universities are all about solving these bottlenecks. Xia Yuanji sighed, "This is a major event that will be meritorious for a thousand years, His Royal Highness has laid this foundation, and in the future, no matter what, the life of the common people will be much better." ”
Ru Yu said, "I didn't expect that His Highness would have such an ambition, and it would take so much courage. It's not easy to do it, it's not easy to think about it. This is a monarch who really puts a country and the people in his heart and thinks all the time. ”
Xia Yuanji couldn't help but laugh, "Although the emperor has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and has never shied away from this, you don't want to talk about it." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both laughed.
The waiter came over and said politely, "The two adults can get up, the emperor has already gotten out of the car and got into the car back to the palace." ”
Xia Yuanji and Ru Yu nodded, stood up, and walked down hand in hand.
The gate of the palace is called Lizheng Gate, the high battlements are majestic and majestic, the red palace wall, and the colorful autumn leaves are condensed into a beautiful picture in the morning light.
A horn sounded, and two teams of soldiers dressed in different clothes ran up to the square from both sides of the main gate of Li, with more than 100 people on the left and right, lined up neatly, full of energy, and had the momentum of going down the mountain to Menghu.
The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and when they saw these people coming, everyone looked up, and before the contest began, they all turned their heads and ears, trying to guess from the spirit of these people, which team had a better chance of winning.
The horn sounded for a while, Zhu Di put on a cloak and stood on the city tower accompanied by Zhu Gaochi.
He looked around and saw that the spirits of the two teams were very good, so he nodded secretly, and when everyone finished saluting and listening to everyone's shouts, Zhu Di raised his voice and said, "In the past, I took you to hunt, and you didn't have a good time, and you didn't fully exert your strength." This year, another child has grown up and is about to seek a future, and as a father and grandfather, I will fulfill you. ”
After everyone thanked him, Zhu Di continued, "The mountain is open to you, a total of three days, you go into the mountain, three days later, at this time, I am waiting for you here, points, scores, two teams, see which team has a big harvest and a small loss." ”
As soon as I heard this, some people were anxious, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Kobdo Mountain, which is the remnant vein of Ataijin Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, like a barrier, lying across the west, blocking the wind from there, therefore, the water and grass here are abundant, the cattle and sheep are fat, and it is a natural horse farm.
It's just that now, war horses are no longer of much use to Daming, but there are a lot of mirrors sold, and they are a large amount of income for the people here every year.
"Yes!" Chen Yi led the special forces to take the lead.
They were dressed in grass-green uniforms, carrying military bags on their backs, and field marching equipment around their waists, and there was no empty place on their bodies, even with short blades and flashlights on their legs.
"Attention, no one is allowed to bring firearms into this hunt, and all of them use cold weapons. In addition, life and death are conceited, the court is not responsible, if you are afraid of death, quit now, I am not reluctant! ”
Zhu Di added, "Of course, if you encounter a group of beasts, I hope you can exit sensibly." ”
After Chen Yi thanked him, he turned around and led people into the mountains and forests, they first walked in unison, and when they reached the edge of the mountains and forests, they heard Chen Yi say, "Take a break", the pace of these special forces was scattered, but the formation remained the same.
There are also more than 100 people in Xungui's children, led by Fu Yan and Qiu Song, they were not prepared in advance, thinking that the emperor would give time to prepare anyway, but they didn't expect that it was a photo and announced the start of the game.
At this time, everyone was a little anxious and asked, "How can you sleep in it for three days?" Bring a tent, a sleeping bag, or how? ”
"I don't know, what else do I need to bring? What to eat? Do you want to bring a marching pot? Did they bring it? ”
Fortunately, these people are all young masters, and when they gave an order, they waited for the people to help find all the things, and everyone seemed to be going out to escape, pots and pans, and each led a horse with their luggage and prepared to go in.
Someone stopped on the edge of the mountain and forest, "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has an order that horses are not allowed." ”
"If you don't bring horses, why can't you bring horses? Could it be that those poor hills don't have horses, so we are not allowed to bring them? ”
At this moment, Huang Yan came running and said with a smile, "The emperor has decreed that horses can be brought, and no servants are allowed to be brought, and one more point will be deducted if there is one more person." ”
Here, Chen Yi's people haven't gone far yet, leaving two people to scout here, hearing this, one of them is a little angry, "Why can they take horses?" ”
"Pull it down, you don't look at what kind of place this is, bringing a horse is a burden, if they want to bring it, let them bring it."
For a while, the people in front of Lizheng's gate were gone, and the courtiers were all scattered, some had something to do, and they were summoned by Zhu Di to discuss affairs, and they went to play their own if they had nothing to do.
Zhu Gaochi sent Zhu Di to the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Di did not keep him, he went back to the Yingluo villa where he lived, Wei came here for the first time, and was very interested, and took someone to pick chrysanthemums, saying that he was back to make chrysanthemum cakes.
The palace maid served Zhu Gaochi and drank the medicine, he came in a moment, pulled the palace maid to do a good deed, and was having fun, when he heard that the Xu family had summoned him, he was nervous, and he went down to impotence, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Xu was summoning several wealthy merchant wives in Ubu Su City, one of whom was newly summoned to the woman this year and said that her brother's symptoms were the same as Zhu Gaochi's, and later Rong recovered, so Xu asked people to call Zhu Gaochi, wanting Zhu Gaochi to summon the woman's brother another day to ask how to take care of his body.
Zhu Gaochi promised to come down, and when he went back, he wanted to continue, but he couldn't get up anyway.
