Chapter 70: Natsuharaji's excerpt
Martial arts arena.
There was a 'bang'.
When Zhu Xiongying moved his fist the size of a sandbag, a pit half a meter square had already appeared on the ground.
'Awesome. ’
Sigh secretly.
After studying the Dharma Heaven and Earth for a morning, he was finally able to double the size of his right hand.
Compared with the normal left hand, the right hand that has blessed the Dharma Heaven and Earth is like a unicorn arm.
And this increase is not only greater in appearance, but also in terms of internal strength and strength, as well as muscle toughness.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiongying had a whim.
Double the strength, double the toughness, doesn't that mean that the staying power is also doubled?
Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath, sat directly in the center of the martial arts arena, and after performing the rain avoidance technique, the rain falling from the sky could not touch his body at all.
Slowly closing his eyes, as the internal breath adjusted, the Qilin arm in his right hand gradually returned to its original size, but the Dharma Heaven and Earth did not withdraw, but shifted and concentrated in another place.
After more than a dozen breaths, Zhu Xiongying opened his eyes, and his essence flashed.
It worked! Thirty-six!
Rise.
"Xiaobao."
Heartily shouted.
Guarding outside the courtyard of the martial arts arena, Xiao Bao, who was reciting the scriptures, heard the sound and ran in quickly with an umbrella.
His Royal Highness Taisun practiced, and no one was allowed to interfere, this was the rule of Taisun Mansion, even if it was a close attendant like Xiaobao, he would wait outside the martial arts arena.
"Summons Xun'er, sleeps tonight, and tells her to be mentally prepared."
"It's not the same as it used to be."
Zhu Xiongying stretched his waist, if he hadn't had to adopt orphans in the afternoon, and he had been driving for a long time every time, he wanted to try the divine sense of the law and heaven now.
Can't wait!
Xiaobao bowed and said yes, turned around and hurriedly sent a little eunuch to Xun'er's courtyard to inform.
In my heart, I wondered if what His Highness had just said today was different from the past.
Today, the past, it's obviously a day.
"By the way, Your Highness, the slave maid just received the news from the East Palace."
Xiaobao stepped forward and whispered.
"Huh? How so? ”
Zhu Xiongying was in a good mood, and walked towards the Hall of Eternal Life with hearty steps, and Xiaobao followed closely by his side.
"According to the Inner Prison of the East Palace, Miss Xu and the crown princess had a good conversation when they first met, but I don't know what they talked about, the palace people vaguely heard the word 'grandson' from the mouth of the step-concubine, and then the step-concubine was red-faced, and Miss Xu was indifferent, and finally the step-concubine even raised her hand to hit Miss Xu, Miss Xu didn't know what to say, the step-concubine looked panicked and took her hand back."
Zhu Xiongying yawned and didn't care.
With his understanding of Xu Miaojin's temperament, it is estimated that Xu Miaojin did not put the Lu family in his eyes.
After all, Xu Miaojin is standing behind Xu Huizu, a thick tree, and in the early Ming Dynasty, Xu Huizu can be said to be the top existence.
Of course, the thickest is still yourself.
Enter the Hall of Eternal Life.
Zhu Xiongying saw a fold placed in front of the desk.
Frowning slightly, shouldn't the fold be put in the side hall for Er Yang?
Xiaobao saw Zhu Xiongying's doubts and hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, this piece of music is presented by the Ministry of Households, saying that it must be inspected by His Highness himself."
Zhu Xiongying sat in front of the desk, picked up the fold and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly.
…………………
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace Warm Pavilion.
"Your Majesty has a decree, and Huang Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, will meet you."
Huang Guan, who had been waiting outside the pavilion door for a morning, took a sharp breath and finally saw Lao Zhu.
He had already been here yesterday afternoon, and he hadn't even seen Lao Zhu's hair.
The reason for blocking back is also simple, His Majesty the Emperor is resting.
In fact, he was unconscious.
Entering the warm pavilion, Huang Guan saw Lao Zhu on the bed at a glance, with a gray face, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked forward, kneeling on the ground with a plop and saluting.
"Chen Huangguan, meet Your Majesty."
Lao Zhu leaned against the mahogany bed frame, and his cloudy and deep eyes glanced at Huang Guan who was kneeling on the ground.
"Say."
The sound, it's cold.
His body was so uncomfortable that he didn't even want to say a word.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has chosen a wedding date, so the minister is hereby to present it to Your Majesty."
I saw Lao Zhu's cloudy eyes, and when he heard the words 'grandson' and 'wedding period', he instantly regained a large amount of clarity, and the whole person's spirit recovered a lot.
Seeing this, Huang Guan hurriedly took out the fold with the wedding date written on it, and the old eunuch on the side took it and handed it to Lao Zhu.
"Ren Yin, Jia Chen, Ding Si."
That is, May 1st.
This is Zhu Xiongying's choice, May Day labor, and the whole world celebrates.
"Good, good, good!"
Lao Zhu sighed three good words, and the smile on his face couldn't be contained at all.
"Immediately pass on the decree to the princes and hundreds of officials, and the day after tomorrow, we will personally go to Fengtian Temple to announce the marriage date of the grandson, and give amnesty to the world."
Then something suddenly came to mind.
"Does the prince know?"
Lao Zhu smiled and looked at Huang Guan.
Maybe it's because he's in a good mood, looking at this Huang Guan is more and more pleasing to the eye, and it's much more interesting than Zheng Yi's old man before.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister will go to the East Palace later."
"Well, quickly inform the prince that the grandson's wedding must not make the slightest mistake."
Lao Zhu's eyes were fierce.
"If there is a half-point difference, we will be the first to kill you."
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he took a long breath.
After listening to this, Huang Guan took a deep breath.
According to aerodynamics, hopefully this is not the same breath.
"Yes."
Huang Guan bowed again and withdrew.
I thought that the emperor's reaction was too great, and he was so sick that he had to go to the court meeting, just to announce a wedding date.
How do others know the old Zhu Xi.
If Lao Zhu is in good health and his eldest grandson gets married, not to mention such a solemn event as announcing the wedding date, he can't wait for the saffron on the ceiling of the auditorium to be hung by himself.
…………………
Taisun Mansion, Hall of Eternal Life.
"Mercantilism."
Looking at the book in his hand, Zhu Xiongying fell into thought.
According to what Xia Yuan Ji wrote in his book, natural disasters are frequent in various places, and it is almost impossible to rely on agricultural taxes to fill the national treasury, so the only way to do this is to vigorously develop commerce and raise the commercial tax.
Good guy, Xia Yuanji's thinking is very avant-garde.
From the national level, it attaches great importance to commerce, and in the land of China, only the Song Dynasty has done so, and it has done it very well.
After the opening of the country by Song Lao Zhao, the border war was endless, the military expenditure was extremely high, and the silver of the treasury could not keep up at all.
To put it to the point, the mercantile national policy was the main reason why the Song Dynasty was the most economically prosperous.
In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to depreciate merchants, Lao Zhu specially stipulated that peasants could wear four kinds of clothing: silk, yarn, silk and cloth, while merchants could only wear clothes made of silk and cloth.
Businessmen who take the examination for education and become officials will be subject to all kinds of difficulties and restrictions.
Commerce is only to maintain the basis for the trading of all kinds of daily necessities in the state, coupled with Lao Zhu's regulations strictly prohibiting farmers from abandoning farming and engaging in business, and merchants who go out to do business must receive road guides issued by the government, otherwise they will be killed or exiled, and it is difficult for merchants and servants to be promoted and untouchables are listed together, so it is difficult for commerce to develop on a large scale.
The reason why Lao Zhu set the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.
The main reasons are in the next chapter.
