Probably because he was always able to 'take' the golden finger from his own baby twenty-third grandson during the exchange, Lao Zhu was reluctant to stop every time he had a conversation.

It's lunchtime in the blink of an eye.

Stay, stay.

During the meal, continue to discuss some of the two account books, and then the topic turns to others.

Just today, the Spring Festival couplets proposed by Zhu Yuan before, Lao Zhu has already distributed them, and asked the ministers to post them tomorrow, and at the same time, he still issued an edict to encourage the people to follow and post them to welcome the New Year.

Even, even in this palace, there are many preparations.

It's a festive event.

Then he also asked about what Zhu Yuan mentioned before, finding a butcher's face and artificially creating a beautiful conversation.

The pair......

Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife.

All right.

Speaking of which, around this Spring Festival couplet, Song Lian also sorted out an article again, probably to talk about the relevant history.

Or "Daming Monthly".

Lao Zhu has already seen it, and it just so happens that Zhu Yuan doesn't know it, so he talks about it with relish. After all, there are not many opportunities to show off here with the twenty-third grandson of his own baby.

The matter of this Spring Festival couplet, in general, should start with the 'peach charm' and 'couplet'.

Both are things that have existed for a long time.

On the early peach symbol, it is not blank, but there is a simple "Book of Changes" auspicious language, but also a wish for the future years, so in the fifth generation, the Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang, that is, the previous ministers asked the Xia Lord Mingsheng to imitate the one who kowtowed to ask for sin, and personally made the first Spring Festival couplets in the Spring Festival of one year.

New Year's Day, Jiajie Changchun.

At that time, it was written on the peach symbol.

When Lao Zhu said this, he also told him that this couplet could not be used, and it was unlucky, so he specially instructed Song Lian to delete this paragraph in the article, so as not to be imitated by the people.

Still, I do remember it.

Then, in the Song Dynasty, during the Spring Festival, the couplet was written on the peach symbol, and it gradually became popular.

Until now.

Lao Zhu finally concluded that it is obvious that writing on red paper is more festive and easier to promote than writing on peach symbols. After all, red and blue are the two easiest colors to get in this era.

With the beginning of this year, then, waiting for next year, it will definitely be more lively.

Talking like this, I had lunch very happily, and it was already the end of noon.

Obviously, it was because of the trouble between the two account books, I was so happy, and said that in addition to Na Meiji's random picking, there were also various curiosities that were transported back from the Xia Guo's treasury at the same time, and if the twenty-third grandson of his own treasure was interested, he would also pick it casually.

You're welcome.

In general, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Yuan a ...... today I probably drank alcohol last night, and I still haven't fully woken up.

Well.

Understandable.

Although he is an emperor, he is really used to it, and suddenly found that it is so easy to make money, and it is still endless, unlike the hammer deal that sold the license of the sea trading company at the beginning of the year, and the future will ...... If it is operated properly, it will be an annual income of one million taels.

And.

This...... And that's just the beginning!

In addition to this glass, it has also been determined that there is a ceramic, a Guan Ju Fang, which also has a stake in the royal family, and a commercial street that has just been knocked down at noon today, and will ......

Tut!

Zhu Yuan didn't know what Lao Zhu thought, if he knew, he would definitely pour cold water.

Decades of war have actually caused great damage to this land, so it is doomed, and many businesses have an upper limit.

I really want a steady stream, Daming still has a long way to go.

First of all, we must make our own piece of cake bigger.

Second, open up and take back as much as possible other people's bread.

Well.

All right.

Or 'production' and 'distribution'!

It's actually quite tiring to get along with Lao Zhu, and when I got home, I wanted to rest, but unfortunately I couldn't. When I entered the door, I was reminded that Tu Xiao and his father Tu Bi had been waiting for half an hour.

Rush to the main hall of the outer courtyard to meet guests.

As soon as he entered the door, the father and son, who were all dressed in home clothes, stood up in advance, and bowed to Zhu Yuan together.

Zhu Yuan hurriedly helped: "Get up, you don't have to be like this." ”

It's a pity that Zhu Yuan couldn't move.

Tu Xiao and his son insisted on finishing the salute, and then they stood up with the support of He Xuan, who came forward at Zhu Yuan's motion.

However, after getting up, compared to Tu Bi, who was quite normal, Tu Xiao already had tears in his eyes.

The main thing is gratitude.

Meantime...... There are also feelings.

Who would have thought that in less than a year, the Tu family, who originally belonged to the family of the last officials in Jinling City, is now ...... A surveying and mapping envoy of the third grade, and a professional of the fifth grade.

Because they were not at the bottom before, they have faintly seen the scenery in the sky, and the Tu family father and son also understand better, but these two futures, many people have struggled in officialdom for a lifetime, and they may not be able to achieve them.

The Tu family only took a year.

All of this was brought by the young man in front of him.

Zhu Yuan didn't have so much emotion, raised his hand and patted Tu Xiao's shoulder, and while walking to the top position, he signaled: "Sit down, I haven't heard enough in the palace before, just tell me more about your experience after leaving Mingzhou." ”

The father and son waited for Zhu Yuan to sit down before sitting down on the side.

The waiter served tea, Zhu Yuan signaled again, and Tu Xiao spoke.

When I left Mingzhou, how did I go to the north to hear the news first, how I tossed and turned on the grassland, and the thrilling Gubeikou chase and escape. If it weren't for the hot air balloon scaring away the pursuers at the critical moment, I would definitely not be able to sit here today.

Then, the Quartet turned to war, although it was hard, but because he was protected from top to bottom, he did not have the initial danger, and he was in the mood to take the subordinates of the Surveying and Mapping Department to draw all the way, accumulating thousands of drawings.

Tu Xiao also knew that Zhu Yuan was weak, so he didn't say too much, he talked about it roughly, and occasionally added some interesting things, just a little more than a quarter of an hour, and he talked about it roughly.

Zhu Yuan kept smiling and listening to Tu Xiao's words, rarely interjecting during the period, and when the other party's words fell, he took a sip of tea before saying: "Hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful." You have honed your way through, and you have already become a great tool, and as long as you go on steadily in the future, you will be the pillar of the court. ”

"Student...... It's also fortunate," Tu Xiao was not proud, and said with humility: "Let's just talk about what happened to Gubeikou, seeing a robe...... At that time, I also felt that I was afraid that I would not be able to come back. Fortunately, God blessed it, and Mr. gave it to him, so he could survive. After that, the students also thought a lot about many things. ”

Zhu Yuan looked at Tu Bi, who was also scared when he heard his son talk about this, and turned to Tu Xiao again: "Since you are back, what are your plans next?" ”

When Tu Xiao heard this question, he didn't answer, but got up very solemnly and said, "Do you want to ask Mr. for advice?" ”

Seeing his son like this, Tu Bi also hurriedly stood up.

"Sit down, don't be polite at every turn, you know I don't like this," Zhu Yuan waved his hand, and waited for the father and son to sit down again before saying: "I'm not a person who likes to play dumb riddles with people, you ...... this year"

Tu Xiao continued: "25 years old. ”

"25 years old, so young," Zhu Yuan sighed, although it was a little strange for a young man to feel so emotional, but the father and son on the side felt very natural. Here Zhu Yuan has continued: "Remember that Su Zi has an article in which there is a saying 'thick accumulation and thin hair'? ”

Tu Xiao looked at his father.

Tu Bi was able to enter the country earlier, although it is only a master book of the eighth grade, but compared to himself who likes miscellaneous studies, orthodox learning is still very solid.

"From Su Zi's "Jia Shuo Sends Zhang Hu": My son is here to study, broad and about to take, thick and thin, I tell my son to stop here!" Tu Bi said, paused, and said carefully: "Pingzhang, this ...... The first few sentences are even more suitable for Xiao'er. ”

Zhu Yuan said: "Si Ye, please say? ”

Tu Bi chanted skillfully: "I am also interested in learning, but unfortunately I have to be the same year as my son early, and my son's acquisition is not too early." Although I want to think that I am insufficient, I have already put it in vain. ”

After Tu Bi finished reading this paragraph, Tu Xiao had already taken the initiative to get up, or to give a salute, and thanked his father and husband respectively for their teachings.

After Tu Bi finished reading, Zhu Yuan also remembered this paragraph.

It's a good fit.

Because, the gist of this paragraph is: Su Shi lamented that although he was determined to study when he was young, he was expected too much because he was too early to become a jinshi, so he could no longer study with his heart. And the next paragraph is the advice to friends, I hope that the other party will not be like myself, after this time, we must continue to study, to reach the level of 'broad view and appointment, thick accumulation and thin hair'.

In short, this paragraph can be said to be all on Tu Xiao.

Zhu Yuan's outlier is not counted, at present, a 25-year-old young man, in just one year, has been promoted from almost white all the way to the third rank of the imperial court, which is really too fast.

It just so happened that the first phase of the Northern Expedition was over, and Tu Xiao returned this time, whether it was Zhu Yuan or Tu Bi, they all hoped that he could sink and accumulate a little.

Tu Xiao obviously understood.

Waiting for Tu Xiao to sit down again, Zhu Yuan said: "You already know what your father and I mean, so tell me what you think?" ”

"The student read the 'three-year plan' on the "Daming Monthly", and thought that it must be the handwriting of Mr.," Tu Xiao said, organizing the language a little, before continuing: "I just got the advice of my father and Mr., and the student thought that in the next three years, he would focus on the study of surveying and mapping, and formulate various standards according to Mr. ”

"This idea is very good, but it will be very detailed, very cumbersome, and about three years may not be enough," Zhu Yuan said: "However, the direction is right." ”

Tu Xiao paused, and then said, "That's it...... One more piece. ”

"Huh?"

"After the meeting this morning, General Chang grabbed me and said it was ...... He wanted me to also do an errand at Jinling Military University and go over there to help him. ”

Zhu Yuan smiled.

Lao Chang entered the state quite quickly, and he didn't know if he had figured out the 'martial arts' thing he said casually, so he had already started to pull people.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan still said quickly: "I thought about putting surveying and mapping into the geography major, Jinling University and National University have corresponding majors, and I also wanted you to come over to help." However, the military university is also better. Moreover, if you are not tired, you are welcome in all three. ”

Tu Xiao said modestly: "I'm just afraid that I will live up to Mr. expectations." ”

"Heh, you have also been to Mingzhou, you know my temperament, I don't expect you from you, but how much potential you have, I will squeeze out as much as possible. Of course, in my place, those who can work hard, and those who work hard, also get more," Zhu Yuan said: "Whether it is the geography major of the two schools or the military university, the current urgent need is one, textbooks." Your next goal is to compile your understanding of the past year into a book as soon as possible and provide it to students to practice. If you have time, you will give them a lesson in person, or, in the next few years, you will have a broad view and make an appointment, of course, it is not necessary to stay in Jinling all the time, but you still have to walk more, see more, field trips are very important, and when the time comes, you will also bring some students. ”

Tu Xiao listened carefully and agreed one by one.

Zhu Yuan felt that he was even more out of energy, and he wanted to serve tea to the guests, but temporarily remembered another thing: "Also, on the prince's side, I will also take the time to talk to the ancestors, you sort out the experience along the way, make a few lessons, and then give a lecture to the prince." ”

Tu Xiao was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Yuan say this, but he didn't think much about it and nodded again.

Tu Bi was obviously hesitant.

Zhu Yuan looked over and said with a smile: "Si Ye, is there anything you can't say here?" ”

Tu Bi still hesitated for a moment, before finally making up his mind, and said softly: "Pingzhang, Your Majesty...... In the prime of one's life. ”

It's just those four words, Tu Bi believes, as smart as Zhu Yuan will definitely be able to understand.

Of course Zhu Yuan understands.

Under normal circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor is in the prime of life, so everyone should not get too close to the crown prince, and it is even better to pretend that the prince does not exist.

This is the normal way of officialdom.

Here's the problem......

Lao Zhu is not a typical feudal emperor!

Zhu Yuan has actually been thinking about it in private.

Lao Zhu's father and son, to some extent, are somewhat similar to Emperor Yuan Shun's father and son.

Where is it like?

It's all because the father is still alive and well, and the son can't wait to take over, and he has also started a lot of actions.

In the past, the son of Emperor Yuan Shun, who held great power, once tried to imitate the old things of Tang Suzong, led the army to oppress Dadu, and wanted to force Emperor Yuan Shun to abdicate in advance, but he didn't expect that the ally that Aiyou knew Li Dara found at that time was Timur.

Although he has a self-respecting army, he is loyal to the Yuan Room.

At that time, there was a turmoil in the clan, and Kuangkuo led the troops to escort Aiyou Zhili Dala back to Dadu, but he stationed the army far away and entered Beijing alone, while persuading Emperor Yuan Shun not to try to depose the prince, and on the other hand, he did not cooperate with Aiyou Zhili Dala to force Emperor Yuan Shun to abdicate, which was a reluctant two-pronged.

Later, the Ming army broke through the capital, and Emperor Yuan Shun fled north to the desert, but still did not lose power, until he died of illness, and Aiyou Zhili Dala was able to ascend the throne.

Let's talk about Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao's father and son.

Although Lao Zhu did not listen to the advice of his subordinates earlier, and made the prince the 'Zhongshu Order' with real power, but since the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao's power has increased little by little, especially after the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Lao Zhu was hit by Ma's death, so he delegated his power even more.

Until the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the power of the dynasty and the military were basically allowed to be played by Zhu Biao, and even the clan ...... After hearing too much about the various grievances of the sons of the vassal kings, Lao Zhu didn't want to care about it anymore and let the eldest son clean it up.

Start with King Qin.

And then, alas, there was no then.

In short, the two pairs of fathers and sons in the two dynasties before and after are not considered the kind of royal father-son relationship that is too typical in the feudal era...... The son is also considered filial piety, well, it can probably form a circle of Taiji diagrams.

Zhu Yuan's thoughts flew for a while, and when he saw that the father and son were still looking at him, he retracted his thoughts and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't say it, there is a high probability that the ancestor will also let Tu Xiao teach the prince a few lessons." Oh, that's it, wait for Your Majesty to speak, and I won't add to it. ”
