Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been forgiven by Ma Xiuying so quickly, just let him stay outside for a day, and then let him go back to Kunning Palace.

As for Zhu Li, he escaped by luck, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything about him, as if this matter didn't exist.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Biao held a banquet to entertain the courtiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the imperial city of Li Zhen, leading the prince and the harem concubines and Zhu Han's family to eat.

In order to find the atmosphere of the New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately did not stay in the palace, but at Li Zhen's place, which was not a jade plate delicacy, but just an ordinary homely meal.

Although it is not particularly tall, it has a sense of family atmosphere.

As for Zhu Biao...... He wanted to represent Zhu Yuanzhang to feast on the ministers.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone eats together, which has formed a tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a manifestation of the heart-to-heart between the monarch and the minister, compared with previous years, this year's court is particularly lively, because Zhu Yuanzhang is not there, everyone is very happy.

Moreover, Zhu Biao presided over the New Year's banquet, doesn't this mean that Zhu Biao is one step closer to taking over Zhu Yuanzhang's position? Who will be able to take Zhu Biao's place at that time?

Therefore, in order to leave a good impression in Zhu Biao's heart, the happy courtiers persuaded him to drink, and even came up with a routine of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred, 'I did you at will', Zhu Biao was poured a stomach full of wine, which was called uncomfortable.

Later, Zhu Biao stopped drinking directly, and no one persuaded him to drink.

Time passed little by little, after Zhu Biao drove the courtiers away, he rode to the family gathering place, and the wine in his stomach made Zhu Biao's mind a little confused, but he still came to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, as well as his brothers, and he also had to maintain a relationship with each other.

drank too much wine, Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to bring him a bowl of sobering soup, sour, sour and spicy, Zhu Biao drank two sips, and immediately felt a lot of physical and mental comfort, which made Zhu Biao sigh in his heart, it is still fragrant to eat at home, and eating with the courtiers is torture.

Zhu Han looked at the uncomfortable Zhu Biao, and said with a smile: "Biao'er, you are really stupid, you don't want to drink, don't you know how to drink water?" Won't the little eunuch next to you help? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said to Zhu Han: "My father said that he didn't drink alcohol before, but now that he has practiced, how can I use water instead of facing the courtiers in the future?" Let's drink it first, and then practice the amount of alcohol first. ”

"At a young age, what kind of alcohol do you practice? Drink until you're twenty years old. ”

Zhu Han doesn't care about this, Zhu Biao is only fourteen, and if he drinks too much, it is easy to drink and damage his body.

Zhu Biao is the successor of the Ming Dynasty cultivated by Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang together, and the untimely death is the last thing Zhu Han wants to see, so he directly ordered that Zhu Biao is not allowed to drink, even if he wants to drink, he will have to drink after the age of twenty.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any opinion after hearing it, he knew that the reason why Zhu Han valued Zhu Biao was not only because Zhu Biao was Zhu Han's eldest nephew, but also because he also had the identity of the heir of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was Zhu Yuanzhang, he wanted to take care of Zhu Biao more, but sometimes when taking care of him, he was not as comprehensive as Zhu Han thought.

After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, and Zhu Han also returned to the British Palace, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang when he left: "Brother, do you want to go out to play after the New Year?" Qiongzhou is developing over there, and Shen Wansan has been working there for a year, so it should have some results. ”

After listening to Zhu Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely: "What about going, do you think your sister-in-law doesn't know what Qiongzhou is developing?" The matter of going to the red sleeves to drink has just passed, let's go to Qiongzhou again, can your sister-in-law let us go? ”

That's right.

Zhu Yuanzhang is an infatuated person, although there are many women in the harem, but those women are just tools for him to pass on the lineage, Zhu Yuanzhang will consider Ma Xiuying first when he does anything, this is his love for Ma Xiuying.

"Shall I go myself?"

Zhu Han wanted to go out to play, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused: "No, you have to accompany us, and you have to worship your ancestors, you are not allowed to go anywhere during the New Year, we still have a lot to say to you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: We can't go out to play, you still want to go out?

Stay in Yingtian and drink with us!

When Zhu Han heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he also knew that his plan to go out to play had failed, and with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, if he knew that Zhu Han ran out, he would definitely send someone to stop him, maybe he would have arrested Zhu Han himself.

……

The Ming Dynasty itself is celebrating the New Year, and the overseas Ming territory is also celebrating the New Year.

However, before the Chinese New Year, almost all the generals of overseas territories issued an order: if they want to stay, they can call their family members overseas, and the military will pick them up and drop them off, and if they don't want to come, they can go home as long as they have been stationed overseas for five years.

This is definitely good news for the soldiers who have come overseas.

Overseas enclaves have large tracts of land, gold and silver everywhere, and families now have to settle in...... How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Many soldiers were moved by the idea and wrote letters to their families to ask them to settle down overseas.

It is this move that makes everyone's homesickness decrease a lot, and the generals can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they see the sergeants under their hands regain their morale, some of the overseas land of the Ming Dynasty is relatively safe, but there are also many wars or wars in the future, because the Ming Dynasty will always expand its territory, and it will always expand, and there will inevitably be wars when it comes to grabbing territory, if there is no army with qualified combat effectiveness, how can they still fight?

Of course, these generals very much hope that the families of the soldiers will come overseas, on the one hand, the family members are there, the soldiers will be less worried in their hearts, and they will work harder when they fight, after all, their families are behind them, they are to protect their families, and they will fight for their families to get more wealth, so that the soldiers will be more motivated; On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty's plan can be implemented, and the more Han people overseas, the more stable the Ming Dynasty's dominance overseas will be.

Therefore, on the day of the New Year, the generals donated their money and purchased a lot, almost all of the materials on the Ming merchant ships were snapped up, but the merchants had already prepared, and when they were about to celebrate the New Year, all the materials were basically needed for the New Year, especially the wine was sufficient, enough to meet the needs of the soldiers.

And the local natives, seeing the Ming soldiers crazy purchases, are also very curious about what happened, after asking to know, the Ming people want to have a festival called "Spring Festival", in this festival there will be a lot of delicious food, and there will be new clothes to wear, and the younger generations can also get money for the New Year's greetings to the elders.

The overseas natives heard about the festival of the Ming New Year and thought about it...... Isn't that the same as their Christmas?

Just after Christmas, is this another chance to celebrate the Spring Festival?

The overseas natives are now all poor, and even the people of the Ming Dynasty can't compare, and they can only eat some delicious food during the festival, but their food is still very different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

In that case, then why don't we celebrate the festival with Daming?

After thinking of this, the natives of the overseas enclave of Daming also began to take action, and even some of their family heads begged to go to the Daming military camp, hoping that Daming could give some guidance in cooking, full of sincerity.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid, they have long been trying to find a way to assimilate the local natives as soon as possible, but the language is not comprehensible, and the assimilation process has little effect, but now it is just a meal, and the effect of assimilation is immediately reflected, which makes the generals have a feeling of unintentional insertion.

Wouldn't it be nice to say what else to say, put it together at once, and everyone singing and dancing?

……

Yinzhou, night.

In an open field, under the light of seventy or eighty fires, it was like daytime.

Hu Dahai, Mu Ying, Ping An, Kong Mingde, Zhou Deming and others, standing in the distance watching the people singing and dancing around the fire, they have Ming soldiers, but also local people, and now they are like a family.

Eating barbecue, drinking fine wine, singing and dancing around the fire......

Let the natives of Yinzhou also have the Spring Festival belonging to the Han people, which was proposed by Kong Mingde, Hu Dahai didn't believe it at first, he felt that the two sides who didn't understand the language should let them learn the language of the Han people first, and then it would be convenient to manage it, as for the local aborigines...... What kind of things are they, and they deserve to live the same year as the Han people?

Hu Dahai immediately rejected Kong Mingde's request, but Kong Mingde was not discouraged, but told Hu Dahai again, Hu Dahai was grinding by Kong Mingde had no choice, and finally had to agree, but he didn't agree to all of them, just told Kong Mingde to find a small group of people to conduct an experiment first, if it is really conducive to the sinicization of the indigenous people, he will go further, if this has no effect, Kong Mingde is not allowed to make any suggestions in the future, just work honestly.

Kong Mingde was full of confidence, and the final effect was presented in front of Hu Dahai, which made Hu Dahai sigh: "It is said that the martial artists will fight the world immediately, and the literati will govern the world after dismounting, and it will be useless for me to use the old methods before." ”

sighed, and said to Mu Ying and Ping'an: "The future is yours, and this Yinzhou will be handed over to you." ”

sighed at Hu Dahai, Mu Ying and Ping'an didn't believe a word, Hu Dahai stayed in Yinzhou, and he still shouldered the mission given to him by Zhu Han, Hu Dahai couldn't complete the task given to him by Zhu Han, would he leave Yinzhou?

No way!

After Hu Dahai goes back, he will definitely be scolded by Zhu Han, and he will not be allowed to return to Yinzhou at that time?

As for Mu Ying and Ping'an...... They received Zhu Yuanzhang's order, but they did not seriously implement it, because there was nothing to implement, Zhu Han had his plan for the development of Yinzhou, and as far as Zhu Han's plan for the infrastructure construction of Yinzhou was concerned, it may not be completed even if it takes ten or twenty years.

Since the construction of Yinzhou will not be completed in a while and a half, what are you worried about? Mu Ying and Ping'an are thinking about fighting all day long, the bigger the territory of Yinzhou is, the slower Hu Dahai's pace of building Yinzhou will be, won't this complete the task assigned to them by Zhu Yuanzhang?

Mu Ying said to Hu Dahai with a smile: "Uncle Hu, it's a good thing that Kong Mingde can make the natives return to their hearts, so won't they have more motivation to build Yinzhou?" It's better for you to complete the task given to you by Uncle Qiwu as soon as possible, right? ”

"Where did Seven-Five give me a task? Don't talk nonsense, you kid. ”

Hu Dahai glared at Mu Ying, and then said, "You two too, you can't hide anything from me, can I still harm you?" Talking about this and that all day long...... Have you ever thought about how difficult it will be for us to logistically supply if we continue to fight like this? How far are we from the Ming Dynasty? It takes half a year to send a supply, what if the logistics supply can't keep up? At that time, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but even the people conquered when we were brought will be in turmoil, and the time will come to clean up the mess again. ”

Mu Ying smiled when she heard it: "Uncle Hu, you think too much, Uncle Qiwu said that all the shortcomings will prompt us to do everything we can to progress, just like we are generals, if we just blindly lie on the merit book and eat the old book, in the end we will lose motivation, we have to do everything possible to develop, this is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, you see that the ships that transport materials are not bigger than one time?" How much each time is more than the last? Now is the time for expansion, we are at war, and you take Kong Mingde to engage in construction and development, isn't it very reasonable? ”

"Bastard boy!"

Hu Dahai wanted to kick Mu Ying, but he was dexterously dodged, Hu Dahai scolded: "We are the generals!" ”

"But how long has it been since you went to battle to kill an enemy?"

Mu Ying asked Hu Dahai rhetorically, Hu Dahai heard this, and immediately scolded: "You kid doesn't know the hearts of good people, if we continue to go to the battlefield, how can you still make meritorious contributions to Pingbao'er?" Giving you a chance to laugh at me? Believe it or not, I led the troops to battle, and you both can't drink the soup? ”

"Believe it, we know that Uncle Hu is for our good."

Mu Ying nodded hurriedly, and then said to Hu Dahai: "So, Uncle Hu, leave the matter of expanding the territory to me and Brother Ping'an, you and Kong Mingde will build Yinzhou, let's just say that Yinzhou is such a large piece of land, if we can increase the output of grain, can't other constructions also follow step by step?" How much time does it take to build Yinzhou by relying on local support? ”

Hu Dahai naturally knows that to build Yinzhou well, we must rely on the local advantages of Yinzhou, Hu Dahai was also anxious about the slow development of Yinzhou, but today the success of Kong Mingde's New Year's activities made Hu Dahai see the hope of accelerating the development of Yinzhou.

Sincerity is nirvana.

Kong Mingde quickly brought the Han people closer to each other by holding events, and how could they not be grateful for treating them as their own in the future?

Besides, the better the construction of Yinzhou, the better it will be for them, after all, no one wants to live a poor life, right?

"It seems that Kong Mingde still has some use."

Hu Dahai touched his chin and decided that if he had the opportunity, he would go to Kong Mingde to have a good chat, if he had his own ideas about the development of Yinzhou, Hu Dahai was also willing to give him some power.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that those scholars from Daming can be handed over to Kong Mingde for unified management, and Hu Dahai only needs to do a good job of supervision, so that they don't make trouble, which is enough.
