Looking at a table of steaming dark dishes and Xu Miaoqing's expectant eyes, Zhu Gui finally made up her mind to teach her some basic cooking skills.

After all, he is also a prince, and he can endure such a long time except for salt, which can be said to be a bland food in taste, which can be regarded as hard-working for Zhu Gui.

However, he still chose to educate and reason, and through practice to let Xu Miaoqing understand that cooking is actually a science.

He pulled Xu Miaoqing to the kitchen, and then made a dish of boiled pork in front of her.

"Taste it."

Looking at Xu Miaoqing's expectant eyes, Zhu Gui said in an encouraging tone.

Xu Miaoqing was still a little unconvinced, but when she tasted it, her eyes were full of stars.

"Zhu Gui, you're so good at cooking."

Xu Miaoqing tried to get by.

"Try it again."

Zhu Gui said unmoved.

"Don't you, do you?"

Xu Miaoqing said with some hesitation.

"There is no harm in no comparison, and don't think that cooking is a trivial matter."

Zhu Gui said.

"Okay, I see, I just want you to be happy, who would have thought that cooking would be so troublesome, but since you make it so delicious, make me eat it every day in the future, right?"

As Xu Miaoqing spoke, she suddenly thought of the crux of the problem.

The corners of Zhu Gui's mouth suddenly twitched.

He had to redeem a recipe in the system store, then called the chef and gave him some seasonings that he had redeemed in the system store.

"Follow the recipe, just cook one dish a day, and if the princess is not happy, she will fine your salary."

Zhu Gui said to the chef.

The chef was very happy to get the recipe, but after hearing Zhu Gui's words, his expression was about to cry.

This made Xu Miaoqing let Zhu Gui go.

And Zhu Gui, who was idle, finally began to decide to resume the production work in Datong Mansion.

During this period of time, the rumors were made by Jinyi Wei, and even the work of building roads has stalled, and the people's hearts may be unstable after a long time.

So Zhu Gui wrote several announcements overnight that night, and finally fell asleep on the table.

The next day, the announcement of the Acting Prince's Mansion caused another sensation.

Road construction and mining activities have resumed.

It's just that the coal produced in those coal mines is stored, and even the workers who mine it don't know what it's used for.

Today is the day of exchange of markets with the Mongols.

The Mongols again drove thousands of cattle and sheep.

These livestock enrich the dining table of the people of Datong Province and reduce some of their demand for food.

And Zhu Gui decided to promote the urbanization process of the Mongols again this time.

The first thing to do was to build the castle dozens of miles from both sides of Blackwood Castle.

These two places are not chosen randomly.

One of them has very good pastures for animal husbandry, and in the other there are silver mines.

The Mongols had no problem with this, after all, Zhu Gui was the nominal owner of the land.

Moreover, the existence of Blackwood City during this time has indeed brought great convenience to their lives.

Datong Province has begun a stage of rapid development again.

At the same time, the city of Nanjing, thousands of miles away, is a different picture.

The news of Jinyiwei's attack on the acting king has been in a big splash in Nanjing City, and I don't know who spread it.

Although Zhu Gui is notorious in Nanjing, he is also a prince, and Jinyiwei represents the imperial power.

Does this mean that the emperor is finally dissatisfied with this wanton acting king?

This incident made many people applaud, but according to many people familiar with the matter, the emperor did not know about this matter, and had already asked about it.

Not only that, but the relationship between the vassal kings who were preparing to celebrate the emperor's birthday in Nanjing also became a little strained.

Except for the beginning, after they all attended Zhu Biao's birthday banquet, no one walked around each other.

And the matter of Zhu Biao's illness in the East Palace also spread from the palace immediately.

Some people seem to have anticipated that the Ming Dynasty might be about to change.

Inside the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was holding Zhu Biao's hand in front of his bed, and the worry on his face was overflowing.

"Didn't I tell you to stop reviewing the recitals? These things will be left to the scholars in the cabinet. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a complaint.

Zhu Biao coughed a few times and said: "Recently, the Mongols in the northwest direction have been moving frequently, and they have been twisting and turning, and the retainers are really not at ease. ”

"You will be in my seat in the future, and with your hard work, the most important thing now is your body."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said to the chief eunuch behind him.

"I have ordered that no one shall disturb the prince's cultivation in the future, and if anyone violates the order, he will be severely punished."

"Yes."

The chief eunuch went out to preach the message.

"Father, you don't need to be like this, how is the health of the son, in fact, the son-in-law has already counted, today's changes in the capital are probably caused by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law hopes that the father can still make plans early."

Zhu Biao said weakly.

"What are you going to do? Can they still turn the other around? This world was beaten down by me, and I will pass it on to whoever I say, don't lie about it, take care of your body first. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Father, Erchen thinks that this prince's position, acting Wang Zhu Gui is the most suitable, a few days ago Erchen had talked with him for a long time, his understanding of the way to govern the country, Erchen felt that it was very suitable for the Ming Dynasty......"

Before Zhu Biao's words were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up angrily.

"Zhu Gui? Just that kid, the 'good deeds' he did are vivid in my mind, how much face did he make our Zhu family lose and make him the prince? Unless I'm dead. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

Zhu Biao wanted to say something, but his body was so weak that he passed out directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hear Zhu Biao speak for a long time, and when he turned his head, he realized the problem.

While calling someone to summon the imperial doctor, he said to Zhu Biao: "Prince, you don't have to worry, I have long thought about this in my heart, if you really don't have the throne, I will also appoint your son, that is, the real grandson Yun Wei, as the eldest grandson of the emperor." ”

Then there was a sound of footsteps in the dormitory, and more than a dozen imperial doctors rushed in in a panic.

I don't know if there is a force pushing the giant wheel of history in the original direction.

And Zhu Gui has not yet realized this, but this is a situation he is happy to see.

And he was also at the head of the new city on the grassland at this time, looking at the dark clouds rolling in the sky in the distance and fell into deep thought.
