According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, officials will have a total of six days off from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is called Xiumu.

In addition, the emperor would also entertain civil and military officials in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, which was not a rule, but it was also an unwritten convention.

What this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was like Zhu Zhanyan didn't know, because he had never participated in it before, even in the year when the old man entered the Yingtian.

For the dinner party on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Zhanyan only heard three points from other people's mouths, and the rest had to rely on association.

But he doesn't mind very much, because he is not here, and going to Yunnan is the direction he has been working towards.

No dynasty can prosper forever, but in the early Ming Dynasty, especially at this stage of the Yongle Prosperity and Renxuan's rule, it was the best opportunity to put it in place.

Sitting in his position, watching his father entertain the officials who came and went, Zhu Zhanyan was all thinking about what to do in the future.

Storage location? He didn't have that in mind.

There is no forever strong dynasty, as long as it is still the world, the torrent of history will still come back and shatter everything, but in this case, is it possible to break the world?

Maybe it's possible, but Zhu Zhanyan doesn't want to.

People are selfish, and so is he.

Now there are two paths in front of him, one is to fight for it for the rest of his life, constantly break through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and even deal with countless people who want his life, and in the end, he can't beat the goal.

And the other is to be a high-class nobleman in peace, dress without worrying about eating and drinking, and even spend your days singing and promiscuity, no one will say anything about you.

Which of these two paths is better? Needless to say, they all know.

casually entertained the officials who came up to stammer, Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in front of him, and began to think about what he could do.

Beginning the Industrial Age?

Don't be funny, this is not YY, although the steam engine is easy to make, but if you want to start the industrial age, is it so easy?

Where to get the rubber that acts as a piston? Yes, with Zheng He's fleet, it may be difficult to go to South America, but it can still be achieved, but what about petroleum products?

Even if you don't want gasoline and diesel, you have to need lubricant, right? Can vacuum distillation be done in an era where there is no modern scientific and technological foundation?

Don't want lube? Even if you can make a steam train, the steamship is still a toy, and it is impossible to popularize it.

Retrofitting firearms? It's also hard.

Although the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Dynasty is now leading the world, the artillery is just a mouth cannon and a bowl mouth cannon, and it is not even the Hongyi cannon that is common in TV dramas.

Firebolt? It will be promoted to the stage of flintlock pistol, and then chemistry will be needed to make a firing primer, where will mercury thunderate go?

"What do you think?"

Zhu Zhanyan was immersed in his own thoughts, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world, and did not know that his grandfather, Emperor Yongle, had come to him under the gaze of everyone.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Something called a grandson is. ”

Zhu Zhanyan, who was awakened, hurriedly got up and saluted the old man, and at the same time felt bitter in his heart.

On this occasion, the old man also came over in person, didn't he roast him on the fire?

"Hehe, I thought about it, but I didn't answer after calling you several times." The old man smiled kindly, and sat next to Zhu Zhanyan in the surprised eyes of everyone.

"What do you think? So fascinating? ”

"Ah...... It's nothing, it's the first time to attend this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and I'm thinking about something useless. ”

Zhu Zhanyan naturally can't tell the old man what he thinks, whether he can say it is one thing, whether he will be a fool is another thing.

"Yes, it's the first time you've attended this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Zhu Zhanyan didn't expect that the old man would sigh after listening to his words.

"In fact, in the early years, grandpa also thought about asking your father to bring you over, at least let everyone in the world know the prince of Han who knew our Ming dynasty, but at that time, you were weak and sick, and your mother was also very protective of you, so grandpa gave up."

"How? How does this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner feel? ”

"Very good." Zhu Zhanyan nodded and responded formulaically.

"It's good, but it's just here......"

The old man's sudden words made Zhu Zhanyan's heart burst out, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." The old man suddenly changed his head, so that Zhu Zhanyan didn't react for a moment.

"You'll be ten years old after the New Year, right? It's also time to pick a princess for you. ”

Zhu Di patted Zhu Zhanyan's shoulder as he spoke, with a smile on his face: "In the past two years, you have been running outside a lot, which is not in accordance with the rules, but you were weak and sick before, and you didn't go out much, so grandpa didn't care." ”

"What's the matter, has there been any daughter of any family who has been favored by our Han prince in the past two years?"

……

The old man turned the corner quickly and urgently, Zhu Zhanyan didn't keep up for a while, and he was stunned in place.

This front foot also said that the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, turning the corner directly to the point of marrying a wife, what is this?

Also, what was that ominous premonition that I had before? Should I be wrong about my nervous texture?

"Hahaha......"

Looking at Zhu Zhanyan, who was stunned, Zhu Di laughed out loud, causing the surrounding officials to also laugh like sycophants.

"What, I'm sorry?" Zhu Di gently patted Zhu Zhanyan's brain.

"You're ten years old, and you're old, and you're still a little man, what's shy?"

In the Ming Dynasty, thirteen or fourteen years old was considered to be past the legal age of marriage, and twenty years old was equivalent to more than thirty years of old men and women in later generations, so Zhu Di said this at this time It was really not too early.

It's hard to imagine that getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and even having children abounds, Zhu Zhanyan feels a little too much......

It's not mature yet, is it? It's really a miracle to be able to conceive, and it's no wonder that giving birth to a child was equivalent to walking through the ghost gate in ancient times.

Thirteen or fourteen years old...... Tsk, it's easy to blame.

"Back to grandpa, my grandson is only ten years old, and I'm not in a hurry." Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head slightly, he didn't want to get married so early.

"In contrast, Sun Er feels that grandpa should be anxious about Zhan Ji's cousin, only if Zhan Ji's cousin gets married and has children as soon as possible, can the Ming Guoji be stable."

……

Zhu Zhanyan only used one sentence to freeze the atmosphere of the entire Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhu Di's smile was still on his face, but he was obviously frozen.

What is this? Is it for the sake of Daming? Or do you want to retreat and seek more and bigger things?

No one dared to speak, and Zhu Gaoxu on the side was also full of anger, but he didn't dare to speak at all.

The old man finally paid attention to you, and he was so peaceful and loving, if you didn't seize the opportunity to have a good relationship, how could you dare to say such things?
