Chapter 283: Catch the Strongman
With the relocation of the imperial court in the capital, many green buildings in the former Qinglou Street have been renovated and opened.
Among the many green buildings that have opened, the business of Huawuge is the best, the girls in it are the most beautiful, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It is said that most of the girls in the building were selected from the south, and they were sent to the capital to cater to the preferences of the capital's dignitaries.
Among the charming girls in the Flower Dance Pavilion, it is the Qinyin girl who is the most favored by Li Chengyi.
On this day, Li Chengyi finally defeated other competitors and became the guest of the Qinyin girl, drinking wine while listening to the Qinyin girl playing the piano, time was extremely comfortable at this moment.

Li Chengyi watched the palace maids and eunuchs who pushed the door in disperse, and when Anu came in last, his face was loveless.
Why is he so miserable!
I finally entered the room of the girl who was in the piano, and I was able to hug the beautiful spring breeze tonight, but I was disturbed by the eunuch who suddenly broke in.
Anu received Li Chengyi's resentful eyes, and bowed to him expressionlessly: "Lord, the old slave is on the order of the emperor, please go back to the palace." ”
Li Chengyi put down his wine glass, tidied up his robe, and sighed: "Anu, if you come to this kind of thing a few more times, your grandfather and I may be scared for life, it's really terrible!" ”
Anu didn't seem to feel the roar in his heart, and made a gesture of invitation with a calm face, "Lord, the emperor is still waiting for you in the palace, please move." ”
Although Li Chengyi complained, he knew in his heart that if Anu could come to him, it must be that his father had something urgent or important to find him, otherwise, his father would not have sent Anu out.
He walked in front of the Qinyin girl, held her cheek with ten fingers, and said gently: "Let you go for the time being, this king's time is precious, I hope that next time I will not disappoint this king, and make up for it according to today's time!" ”
Out of the room, Anu and other palace maids and eunuchs behind him followed his footsteps.
When I arrived at the hall on the first floor, the old bustard of the Flower Dance Pavilion greeted me with a smiling face, "Oh, the prince is leaving?" Have fun? ”
Li Chengyi saw her coming, stopped, hooked his lips and said to her: "There is something to do for the time being, this king's silver is not in vain, next time you come over, remember to let the Qinyin girl come to wait for this king!" ”
“.” When the old bustard heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There is no problem, the prince will come again next time he is free!" ”
She has never seen such a slamming prince, next time she comes to make up for this time, is it not that half of the hanging does not count, and she has to compensate?
Li Chengyi was very satisfied with the old bustard's attitude, left a sentence, raised his feet and walked out, "This king has something to do today, come back next time." ”
"The prince walks slowly!" The old bustard shouted at the back of the group, and seeing that the figure had gone away, she threw down her handkerchief and went to greet the other guests.
After entering the palace, Anu directly led Li Chengyi to the emperor's imperial study.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince is here."
Hearing this, Li Jingfu raised his head and beckoned to Li Chengyi, "Fourth, come here, I will let you see something." ”
Li Chengyi was curious about what was rare to show him, so he was not polite at all, and went over directly.
It was found that the royal case was placed on a map, and this map was different from Dayu's other maps, this map took a serious look, and the sea and land were marked.
"Father, where did you find such a clear map?"
Li Jingfu pointed to the location of Dayu now, and said: "This is collected by your mother, you see that this is our Dayu today, this small island in the east is the native country of the Japanese Kou, a little above this is the wild land where the Jurchens originally lived, and this large area used to be the grassland range of Beidi in the horizontal past, and then to the west, we collectively call the Western Regions a large area here." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the sea area in the South Seas: "Now that our fleet has a base here, and further south there is a large area of land, and next year your mother is ready to go to sea, and you will help her deliver supplies from now on, and be responsible for all the preparations before setting sail." ”
When Li Chengyi heard this, he was taken aback, "The queen mother wants to go to sea, the sea is too dangerous, isn't it good to stay in the palace to eat and drink?" ”
Li Jingfu raised his hand and knocked Li Chengyi's head, and scolded with hatred: "Look at your little talent, let you do something and pick the fat and thin, go back today to prepare, and start work tomorrow!" Don't go to those Hualou teahouses, if I know to be careful of breaking your dog's legs. ”
He didn't even know what kind of sin he had created, and he had given birth to such a loser who did not seek progress.
At this time, Li Jingfu seemed to have forgotten that he still felt that his son was not too bad last time.
Li Chengyi covered his head that was knocked out, and looked aggrieved: "Isn't what I said right, sea navigation is dangerous everywhere, isn't it good for the queen mother to stay in the palace and enjoy Qingfu, why do you have to toss?" ”
Li Jingfu endured the itching of his hands, and wanted to smash his head to see if it was tofu dregs.
He pointed to a few landmasses in the ocean and said: "Overseas minerals are abundant, this gold mine has amazing reserves, this is a large iron mine, and this is a silver mine, so many minerals are now ownerless, if we don't occupy them, are we waiting for others to discover and excavate?" ”
When Li Chengyi heard this, his eyes stared at a few places in the map, he gasped, and asked in disbelief: "Father, is what you said true or false?" How did you know that there were minerals in these places? ”
"Didn't the ancestor tell me in a dream?" Li Jingfu raised his leg and kicked him, urging: "Hurry back and prepare, and go to business from tomorrow, if you don't fill more than a hundred sea ships with supplies after the year, I won't be able to spare you!" ”
"A hundred?" Li Chengyi was frightened and exclaimed, "Is the queen mother going to sea to mine or going to sea to build a country, and can she use the materials of a hundred ships?" ”
"Don't be shocked here, hurry up and get ready for me, tomorrow I will send someone to pick you up!"
Li Jingfu was impatient to rush people, if he decided to go to sea together next year, then he would have more things to prepare, and some things to arrange properly.
Li Chengyi came out of the imperial study, saw Anu standing outside the door, and asked the doubts in his heart: "My father handed over such an important matter to me, so he is not afraid that I will mess things up?" ”
It was more than 100 sea ships, and if there was a problem with the materials he prepared, it would be related to the lives of countless soldiers.
Anu raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, "The emperor handed over the matter to the prince, naturally he trusts the prince to have this ability, the prince has no doubts, just do things with peace of mind." ”
Li Chengyi saw that he couldn't speak, so he immediately felt bored, waved his hand and walked away.
——
There has been no big court meeting in the past few days, and Li Jingfu even canceled the small court meeting this day, and ran to Qingning Palace early in the morning.
It's just that as soon as I entered the hall, I saw the palace maid walking out with a plate of white and fat buns, "Oh, it just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet, what about your mother?" Ask her to come out and have breakfast together! ”
As soon as his words fell, footsteps were heard in the apse.
Xia Jing washed up and came out of the apse, and walked towards Li Jingfu with a plain face.
As she moved, more than a dozen palace maids in the hall saluted her.
And Xia Jing's eyes are clear, her posture is lazy, and she seems to have slept well last night and is in a good mental state.
Seeing Li Jingfu who came early in the morning, she was obviously surprised, and just after a while, she sat down at the dining table and let the palace maid cook for her.
Li Jingfu coughed: "Cough, why didn't the queen wear jewelry today, is the jewelry in the palace outdated?" If you don't like to have someone make a new batch of jewelry for you to choose from. ”
I have to say that he didn't have anything to say, so Xia Jing raised her eyes and glanced at him, explaining: "In my own palace, I just want to order casually, wearing jewelry is too cumbersome and uncomfortable." ”
Today's breakfast is very simple, a red date and black rice porridge, a few plates of pickles, and a plate of large meat buns.
Although the meal is simple, the fragrance emitted by the big meat bun is so hungry that Li Jingfu has swallowed saliva more than once.
"Queen, can you eat?"
If he is not in his own palace, he has to ask the consent of the master for dinner, do you think that he, the emperor, deserves to be a nest?
But who called the delicious food in Qingning Palace, even if it was a nest, Li Jingfu was willing to listen to Xia Jing's orders.
After a night of digestion, Xia Jing was also really hungry, she first sandwiched a bun and put it in Li Jingfu's bowl, "Eat, you're welcome, the cook made a lot today." ”
Li Jingfu took the meat bun and took a big bite, the skin was thin and the filling was big, and the meat was juicy, "Your bun here is the most delicious bun I have ever tasted, and I don't know how your cook has practiced her cooking skills?" ”
In the face of his praise, Xia Jing hooked her lips and smiled: "If it's delicious, you should also control the amount of food, don't overdo it." ”
“.” Li Jingfu's happy brows froze slightly.
Xia Jing spoke again: "You came to me so early today to find something wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I just want to come over and have breakfast with you." Li Jingfu said vaguely while eating buns.
Xia Jing nodded, didn't care about him anymore, and after breakfast, she asked the maid to sort out the materials she had prepared.
"Queen, where did you get so many books?"
"Let people sort it out, and we will hand it over to the person in charge later."
Li Jingfu glanced at the door of the palace, "Oh, who did you announce today?" ”
Xia Jing looked through a few stacks of information to confirm that there was nothing wrong before replying: "You'll know when they come, today is not a big court, you don't have to go to a small court?" ”
"It's canceled, I've been busy for so many days, I always have to take a day off, otherwise how can this body eat!"
didn't wait long, the first to come were Zhang Shijiao and Yan Shijiao, that is, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan, who had been staff members of King Qian's Mansion, followed them from the capital to Lingnan, and then traveled all the way from Lingnan to Jiankang and finally returned to the capital.
Li Jingfu had already made a decree that the two of them should be responsible for the qualification verification of the Beijing Academy, as well as the compilation of the teaching materials of the Beijing Academy, and then popularize it throughout the country when the implementation of the capital is smooth.
The two of them can also be regarded as the leaders of Dayu's Ministry of Education.
Xia Jing pointed out the general direction to them, and it was up to the two of them to discuss it themselves, and Xia Jing only looked at the final result.
After the two gentlemen left, Li Chengli also came to him in accordance with the order, Xia Jing gave him the prepared information, and said the development direction of the machinery factory, as well as the great prospects of the future, I only hope that he listened to these words, and the machinery factory will be run well, and strive to train more technical personnel.
The last information is for the War Bureau, Xia Jing copied the simple mechanical drawings in the space that fit this era, and these drawings can be made as long as the War Bureau uses heart.
The drawings just let them follow it, Xia Jing didn't want their thoughts to be solidified, and pointed out the general direction of development to them, and then if she went to sea, I think they could slowly develop the second and third generations of machinery.
Li Jingfu didn't ask more curiously from beginning to end, and as for where she got these information, he didn't seem to be interested.
In fact, for this world, what Xia Jing can influence is to provide them with ideas, and if they encounter problems in the specific manufacturing process, they will eventually have to solve them by themselves.
Li Jingfu watched her finish sending the prepared materials, then stood up and invited: "You should be fine now, why don't you take advantage of today's free time and let's go to the capital for a walk?" ”
Xia Jing listened to his words and looked at him in surprise: "You also like to go shopping as an emperor?" ”
Li Jingfu seemed to save his last face, and chuckled: "My purpose today is to accompany you shopping." ”
"Oh."
Xia Jing's head, whatever you want, you can accompany whoever you say.
The infrastructure construction of Dayu capital has been the first in Dayu in recent years, and there is no other city to do the transformation of the capital so meticulously, even if the Lingnan Mansion City does not have the capital's big strokes.
In addition to the old elite blocks, the north and south urban areas have changed the most, especially the large area near the south city gate, after Xia Jing's relocation plan, the residents who have houses in this area have now all moved to the resettlement community outside the city.
After demolition and reconstruction, this urban area seems to have become more beautiful than the old elite living place, the street pavement, public facilities and so on are better, newer and more humane than the old elite living area.
On an ordinary carriage driving on the street, Xia Jing looked out the window and said with relief: "The money invested in the early stage has finally not been wasted, and the houses built in this area have basically been sold out, and the money invested at the beginning has increased several times." What I am most satisfied with is that the renovation of the urban area did not cost a penny from the state treasury. ”
Li Jingfu sighed, "I think who would have thought that the transformation of the urban area could be done without the help of the treasury, or you have a lot of ideas, and the streets of the capital are clean and flat today, and there is no longer any dirty mess before." ”
"Hey, I found that the queen, you are very experienced in transforming the city, every time the city is dirty and messy, after you transform, you can make earth-shaking changes, it's amazing!"
Xia Jing was praised for feeling a lot better, "It used to be dirty and messy, it's just that everyone didn't pay attention to hygiene, what likes to litter, and likes to defecate everywhere, plus the streets in the city are too old, tinkering, it's hard to look good!" ”
Li Jingfu compared the current streets with the previous ones, and there is indeed no comparison.
The two sat in the carriage while strolling around and chatting, when suddenly there was a noisy commotion in front of them.
"What's going on?" As soon as Li Jingfu's words came out, Ye Fei rode up and reported: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, in front of you is the gathering of the Fuxing Poetry Society, and those crazy scholars show off their literary talents to each other, and the excitement of winning took off their clothes and ran around the street, which caused the people on the street to watch and caused congestion. Do you think we're going to turn the horse's head around? ”
"And this?" Li Jingfu lifted the curtain in shock, "Why didn't I encounter this kind of thing in all the years when I was a gentleman in the capital?" ”
If he had met at the beginning, he would not have to stand next to him and be a melon-eating audience. (End of chapter)
