The city is very lively, and today's palace is even more colorful, far different from usual.

Even the palace guards in the palace were a little more happy today. After all, with the frugality of the emperor and queen on weekdays, there will definitely not be such a lively time.

In the Fengtian Palace, it is even brighter, not only the court officials, but also many noble children, foreign envoys, etc., are also gathered here today, quite lively. Lao Zhu was receiving the birthday gift, listening to the eunuchs broadcasting the birthday gifts given by the noble officials, and the Hongwu Emperor, who had always been very powerful, was quite happy today.

"Li Gong, the Korean government, sent a thousand copies of the lost book of the former Yuan; Jinglong, the prince of the Cao State Mansion, gave a precious coral treasure tree in the East China Sea......" An old eunuch with a high-pitched voice looked at the gift list and read.

Lao Zhu suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted the old eunuch's recitation. Turning his head to Li Jinglong, he said, "Jiujiang, your father is not in Beijing, you picked up this birthday gift, right?" ”

"What a coral tree, that thing costs too much, we can't use it. It's all a family, and it's just a gift to give it, not so extravagant. ”

"What kind of treasure tree, you can take it back. turned around and exchanged for money and food, and you can also raise a few more veterans for your father. ”

"Don't be so poor and extravagant."

Li Jinglong saw sweat on his forehead and hurriedly went out to thank him. I regret not listening to Xu Yungong's words. This coral treasure tree is indeed hard to drum up, I just thought that His Majesty has been established for ten years and finally held a special birthday festival, and he is filial piety when he sends some rare things to his nephew, but he forgets that this uncle is most disgusted with these extravagant things, and this fart is slapped on the horse's leg.

The other officials and officials are desperately hiding their clumsiness, sending either books or famous calligraphy and paintings, and none of them are willing to show their wealth. Bisheng was obviously very poor in his own house, but he showed his wealth to Cao Guogong's mansion here, and was beaten in public by his uncle as a chicken.

I'm stupid, really.

Without looking at the frustration on Li Jinglong's face, Lao Zhu looked at the ministers standing with his hands down with satisfaction. He has cracked down on corruption several times, and he has rectified Hu Weiyong and the Qingliu Party, and now he has achieved some results. Now that the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are in a clean and clean state, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been greatly reduced. At least, no one dares to try to get in touch with extravagant gifts.

Li Jinglong's brain has lacked roots since he was a child, and the coral tree was also bought by the Cao Guo Mansion at a great price, and he knows all this, so naturally there will be no mustard.

If it is someone else, I am afraid that after the Wanshou Festival, another round of anti-corruption wind will blow.

The eunuch continued to read the gift list, and when he read it to the Duke of Wei's mansion, Lao Zhu stopped the eunuch who was reciting again. "Yungong, Tiande is not in Beijing, so this gift is naturally prepared by you."

"It's just that the words 'inconvenient to send', but what does it mean?"

It turned out that what was written in the gift list presented by the Duke of Wei turned out to be "due to the huge size, it is inconvenient to send it for the time being".

"Your Majesty." Xu Yungong stepped out of the queue and arched his hand towards Lao Zhu and said, "Please forgive your majesty." ”

"If it weren't for the minister's intention, the minister's gift really couldn't be sent into this imperial city, so it could only be written like this."

"Follow the fifth child of our family, you have also learned to play tricks." Lao Zhu smiled, just teasing like this, but he didn't seriously ask Xu Yungong. "Let's be honest, what gift did you prepare for us?"

Xu Yungong's face was slightly red, after all, he was still a young man, and in his heart, he did have the intention of making a fool of himself and making a splash. Hearing this, he bowed down and said, "What the minister has prepared for His Majesty is twelve Great Ming Treasure Ships that are enough to sail for a long distance. This ship is 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide, this treasure ship can hold 5,000 materials, even if there are huge waves on the sea, the ship can also walk on the ground. ”

"This is the minister and Longjiang Shipyard, and the longevity festival is also dedicated to His Majesty."

It's actually a ship, or a 5,000-material giant ship! There was a commotion among the ministers below, and Lao Zhu at the top suddenly stood up, he knew that his fifth brother entrusted the shipbuilding to this eldest son of the Xu family.

"You mean, our treasure ship has been built? Isn't it a good thing? Are you sure you can cross the ocean? ”

"Yes. The minister is convinced. However, in the end, it will take a real voyage to know. According to the data and tests, the ship is strong enough to withstand the wind and waves at sea, and the supplies that can be loaded on board are enough for hundreds of days......"

"Hahaha, good, good, good! This is the most satisfying gift we have received on this Halloween! Lao Zhu laughed loudly, he knew that the so-called "data" was actually the drawings and calculation methods left by his fifth child to the Xu family. Although I heard that there was only an approximation, but after these days, I think the Xu family boy and the craftsmen of the shipyard have figured out the trick. All in all, the treasure ship is completed, and the Ming Dynasty can focus on the so-called America beyond the ocean.

Lao Wu said that on the American continent, there are only extremely backward barbarian natives, and their land can almost be regarded as the first to come, and there is no need to bother and fight for life and death like the Japanese country. Moreover, above the Americas, there is also a divine seed, which can protect the people of the Ming Dynasty from famine forever!

As long as we can ensure that the people will have food to eat in three hundred years, the nightmare of the Ming Dynasty's periodic law can almost be regarded as half broken!

"Good, good!" Lao Zhu laughed happily, this surprise made him even more pleased than the number of boats of Sado gold. After all, Lao Zhu is still the habit of an old peasant, after all, gold and silver can not be eaten or drunk, if the Ming Dynasty suffers a famine, there is gold and silver, then it can't be spent, but the grain is different, with food, you can save your life. With food, people's hearts are at peace!

The American god species is even more important than the Yuan Court that is still eyeing the northern Xinjiang now!

Except for a few people, not many people in the crowd knew why the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so happy. It's just that the emperor was pleased, and they naturally didn't look suspicious, and they all cooperated to show joy and congratulate the emperor.

But among this group of people, there is really one who is not afraid of death. A foreign envoy dressed in foreign clothes and slightly darkened skin actually stood in the hall at this time and said to the old Zhu Shili: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the envoys of the lower country have an unclear question: May I ask if the superior country built this big ship, is it ready to lead troops to the sea?" ”

"Although my Luzon Kingdom hangs overseas, I also admire the Ming Dynasty. However, I heard that the so-called 'division of the outer frontiers' has been circulating in the Kingdom of Heaven recently, and I dare to ask Your Majesty, are you preparing to send a fleet to defeat our Luzon and give it to the princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"If this is the case, although the lower kingdom is weak, it also has the will to die unyieldingly. Please let me retire first, if we meet in the country in the future, I will only fight to the death in Luzon! ”

Although the envoys of Luzon gave courtesy, their faces were already unruly. Many people present were stunned by these words, and for a while, the voices of "presumptuous" and "thieves daring" and so on were heard in the hall endlessly.

Song Lian was stunned on his face, and glanced at Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen was also surprised, and looked sideways at Kong Xixue, the Holy Prince, only to see that Kong Xixue was there, still closing his eyes and recuperating. Liu Bowen frowned, and a little jealousy was added to his heart.

Is this person going to start from the envoys of the foreign domain?
