Chapter 284: Out to Sea
Xia Jing listened to Ye Fei's words and immediately instructed him: "You go to find a place to stay nearby, and we will also go and see the excitement." ”
"Queen, what's there to make up for this excitement, these madmen are running on the streets, just to cause a sensation, and to make themselves the most eye-catching person in the capital before the Spring Festival." Li Jingfu did not approve of joining in the fun, because he thought that these people were not well-dressed, which was really indecent.
But who is Ye Fei?
He is the captain of Xia Jing's personal guard, strictly speaking, he only needs to listen to Xia Jing's words alone, so there is no way for Li Jingfu to disagree, Ye Fei took the order and turned around and ordered the personal guards below to do what Xia Jing asked.
It didn't take long for Ye Fei to take Xia Jing and Li Jingfu into the private room on the third floor of a teahouse, and stood in front of the window facing the street on the third floor, and the things that happened on the street below were all visible at a glance.
Li Jingfu stood by the window and looked down: "Huh! It's too spicy for the eyes! ”
The madman downstairs took off his clothes and ran back and forth on this street, and in the autumn breeze, Li Jingfu admired his good eyesight, and even the maniac's leg hair rippling in the wind could be seen clearly.
He looked sideways, okay!
The queen was staring wide-eyed.
"These people have nothing to do when they are full, they take off their clothes and run wild on the streets, which is really bad for the world and customs!" Li Jingfu pulled Xia Jing away from the window with a dark face.
Xia Jing looked up and found that Li Jingfu's stinky face couldn't be darker, and she was slightly stunned, and then reacted, crying and laughing.
She withdrew her hand, sat down, took a sip of the tea prepared by the maid, and echoed: "It is indeed immoral! Their white chicken-like figure is also embarrassed to show it for everyone to appreciate, Dayu should advocate health and beauty, and men's bodies should be strong, such as the figures of the soldiers in the barracks! ”
That kind of body full of vigorous power makes women look bloody!
"Poof!"
"Ahem."
Li Jingfu just drank all the tea in his mouth and squirted out, he was choked and coughed sharply, Anu was so frightened that he hurriedly gave him relief, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
Finally stopped coughing, he waved his hand, and Anu retreated from his position.
Li Jingfu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes stayed on Xia Jing's face that was still the same, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Xia Jing picked up the teacup and lowered her head to drink tea, covering the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Glancing at Xia Jing who was drinking tea with his head down, Li Jingfu didn't dare to preach to her, his eyes rolled, and he noticed Ye Fei standing next to him.
Ye Fei has a long figure, young and energetic, at a glance, he knows that he is a good figure that looks thin and undressed, and he doesn't know how, thinking of this, Li Jingfu is inexplicably angry in his heart.
"What are you doing there? I don't know how many more dim sum your master loves to eat in the teahouse! ”
Ye Fei looked inexplicable, but when it came to pastries, he still turned around and opened the door and went out.
Waiting for people to leave, Xia Jing stood up and came to the window again, Li Jingfu glared and wanted to say something, but Xia Jing didn't wait for him to speak, then turned around and said: "These scholars dare to be so arrogant or have money and leisure, how tired they are to run on two legs like this, if there is a bicycle, it must be more fashionable to run." ”
Li Jingfu swallowed back what he wanted to say, and asked, "What kind of ghost idea did you come up with?" ”
"There were a total of 20 bicycles made by the War Bureau last time, and six were placed in the palace, and I want to take out the rest for auction, and the highest price will be obtained, and the silver money obtained from the auction can be used to build a bicycle factory."
Li Jingfu knew too well that he liked to compare, but he still said stiffly: "Sixteen is a lot, how can you be sure that they will bid?" ”
Xia Jing listened to his words and asked rhetorically: "You have been in Jiankang for so long, don't say that you don't know that extravagance has long been a trend in Jiangnan, and literati and ink writers are among the people who like to follow the trend the most. ”
Don't these literati and writers like to get together to enjoy the scenery and recite poetry?
"Are you going to take care of this?"
Xia Jing shook her head: "The third child in the family likes to earn money the most, and it is most appropriate to leave this matter to him." ”
Li Jingfu listened to her words this time, rolled his eyes in his heart, and said: "Co-authored to call the third child as a donkey, he just handed over the machinery factory to him in charge, and you plan to give him the task here, is he busy?" ”
"For what he is good at, there are not many things, and it is easy to deal with it with half the effort, and those who can work hard." Xia Jing believes that for what he is good at, it is also a kind of enjoyment for him to do, why not say that it is hard.
These scholars on the street, in fact, are like clowns here, not for fame, reading may not be famous, can only be found in other places to make up, this is not to engage in this poetry club, than to win the fruit run, but I don't know how much money the winning poem is out of someone to ghostwrite?
Whether you are famous for reading or other aspects, if you are famous, you will naturally have benefits.
It's just that those who can read books well and gain recognition from the world are rare after all.
Now the few people running wildly on the street, there is no need to ask, the onlookers definitely already know their names, isn't this once famous all over the world?
Ahem, although the range is a little smaller, but for them, it is also a name!
Li Chengli inexplicably received another task from Xia Jing, perhaps inspired by a madman.
After receiving the task given to him by Xia Jing, he organized a group of people who could ride bicycles, and pulled out four of the six bicycles in the palace from the sixteen to form a team of ten people, and let them ride bicycles and pull banners every day to circle the streets of the capital, which is regarded as promoting the bicycle auction in advance and showing the world the magic of bicycles.
There is no energy, there is no power, and it only needs a person to pedal a bicycle to walk on its own.
In the following days, whether they often went to the street or stayed at home, the people in the capital learned about the bicycle.
Bicycles that can walk on their own naturally attract many onlookers in Beijing.
People all have a herd mentality and prefer to join in the fun.
Ten young and handsome 180 handsome guys, riding bicycles through the streets of the capital, is a pleasing scenery anyway.
What's more, there are dozens of 180 handsome guys running behind the ten bicycles.
In such a scene, even the young lady of the family who was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea couldn't help but want to scream.
In the past year, with the relocation of the imperial court, the Gyeonggi area has become more and more lively, and the race with the train, which was all the rage some time ago, has become the first choice for the rich and noble sons of the capital.
Some people win a lot of money through this kind of event, and some people lose so much that they almost lose their leggings in the end.
Now that a handsome young man has appeared running on the streets of the capital again, how can the people of the capital not judge these people?
"Gee, who's organizing this run? It's really the best way to wash your eyes, you don't notice, my eyes are getting brighter and brighter these days. ”
"Sisters, look at the little brother who runs in third, his legs are so long, and he is really energetic to run!"
"He's the oldest, what I like to see the most is what kind of bicycle he rides in front, just walk in front of the cyclist, you see his long legs, pedaling the bike is too energetic, and the car is stepping on the Hot Wheels of immediacy!"
"Oh, I just don't know whose guys these are, whether they marry a daughter-in-law or not, whether they are engaged or not, if not, pull one back to be a son-in-law, it will really make a lot of money!"
"You're daydreaming, I know these handsome guys, I heard that they are the invincible soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion, and ordinary girls really can't control them!"
"What to talk about controlling or not controlling, women turn into water and melt them, and no matter how hard the bones are, they will become soft fingers!"
"Old lady, listening to what you say, it seems that you are quite experienced, since you are so experienced, why did your man find two or three concubines with a little money?"
"Haha."
Speaking does not expose people's shortcomings, but those who expose shortcomings are generally enemies.
No, in the crowd watching the excitement on the side of the road, there was screaming and scolding after a while, and the two people who were just talking and laughing just now just got into a ball and didn't let each other go.
Come on, hurt each other!
Xia Jing sneaked out and stood by the window on the second floor facing the street, looking at the lively scene below, admiring it in her heart.
"I didn't expect the third child's brain to be so flexible, and he actually came up with such an idea!"
This is very different from the street propaganda of later generations.
However, such a lively scene also reminded Xia Jing of sports competitions in later generations.
"Ye Fei, the capital shouldn't have been so lively for a long time, right?"
Ye Fei glanced out the window and said: "There is never a shortage of excitement in the capital, the opening of the train, the enrollment of the engineering college, the horse riding and the train race, the triumphant division offering prisoners, sacrificing to the martyrs, stealing the widows in the south of the city outside the city, etc., it can be said that there is too much excitement in the capital, and I can't finish talking about it for a while!" ”
"The capital is so lively?"
Xia Jing looked at the street under the window in shock, it was really. I'm going to have a big slot!
This world is too exciting, and she is nesting in the palace as a canary all day long, so boring!
——
In the eyes of the Xiyi people, the East is a country full of gold. They sailed for months to the East, and their initial desire was to dig up gold and ship it back.
And the Dayu people in the East, the purpose of their going to sea is also to hope that they can transport back the wealth that can not be spent in a lifetime.
Don't say that Xia Jing is cheesy, she went to sea for overseas wealth, of course, whether it is gold, silver, iron and copper and other minerals, or land, personnel and materials, it is wealth for her.
Li Jingfu was curious about overseas, so he announced at the last court meeting at the end of the year that he would pass the throne to the crown prince Li Chengmu, and he would hide behind the scenes as the emperor.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he supported Li Jingfu, and the courtier who had just sought a lot of benefits from the emperor quit.
Their small team came out to dissuade them, but it was obvious that Li Jingfu had already made up his mind to pass on the throne, and no matter how you admonished him, he was just indifferent.
In his words: "I am almost in the age of sixtieth year, how long is my life?" In the twilight of his life, he passed the throne to the new emperor is responsible for Dayu, responsible for himself, and unburdened the world, and for the rest of his life, I can live for myself and be willful for myself, what's wrong? ”
"Do I have to get your consent to who I am located?"
The courtiers bowed their heads when they asked this, the emperor's lord, who of them dared to do it?
No one who is tired of life dares to answer this sentence.
Waiting for Li Chengmu to inherit the unification, Xia Jing revealed the news that he was ready to go to sea, and the Dayu civilian fleet could apply to the fleet parked in the port if they wanted to form a team, and if they passed the review, they would agree and inform them to be ready.
Of course, these are all small civil forces, and there is really power on the sea, Xia Jing has already sent someone to invite them.
For example, the Lan family in Lingnan is dominated by maritime trade.
As soon as Xia Jing's invitation letter was sent to the Lingnan Lan family, Lan Jianlan, the head of the Lan family, agreed without saying a word, and prepared for this trip.
In fact, it is said that going to sea after a good year, and it has really been February of the third year of Jianyuan.
Li Chengmu has basically been able to control the government, and the situation of all parties has almost been straightened out, and if it is implemented according to the normal plan, there will be no problems with Dayu.
Jinwei Port.
There are no less than 100 ships docked on the sea.
On the shore, Li Chengli came to see off the new emperor on behalf of him, and he looked at Li Chengyi who was standing next to him, "Fourth, the next voyage will take care of our father and mother." ”
"Third brother, don't worry, I'll take care of them."
Li Jingfu followed Xia Jing to the sea, but when he was really about to get on the boat, he still had a lot of reluctance to this land, but he didn't dare to vent this emotion, for fear that his son, who was standing on the opposite side and persuading, would desperately prevent him from going to sea.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't be sensational here, you hurry back to run your factory, the auspicious time for our trip is coming soon." ”
Li Chengli: "."
Okay, separation is not the same as farewell, and he doesn't want to grind as a big man, it's just that life is like a play, and in order to reflect the filial piety of the father and son, he can only show his acting skills.
"Okay, in order not to delay the auspicious time, father and queen mother, you should hurry up and get on the boat. Son, I wish you a smooth journey and good luck! ”
Xia Jing smiled and waved her hand at him, what should have been explained has already been explained, and there seems to be nothing to say when they are separated.
More than 100 ships went to sea, its spectacular scene is unforgettable, Li Chengli watched the fleet slowly sail away from the port, and sighed in his heart: "Dayu is really strong!" ”
On the first line of the sea and sky, Li Chengyi looked at the blue sea and asked Xia Jing: "Queen Mother, where are we going first?" ”
Hearing the question, Li Jingfu was also very curious, he knew that the fleet would go to the South Seas, but he didn't know exactly where the first stop would go.
Xia Jing glanced at them, tilted her chin slightly and said, "Just out of the sea, let's go to Haojing Ao to collect some rent first, and give some allowances to the crew and soldiers on our ship, what do you think?" ”
Li Jingfu knew that there were Xiyi people stationed in Haojingao, and now even Liaodong, Liaoxi and the northern grasslands have belonged to Dayu, and the original Haojingao of Dayu naturally had to pay rent, and there was nothing wrong with Xia Jing's words.
"I don't have an opinion, why not do it along the way!"
It's just that the fleet didn't sail for long, and Li Jingfu and his son, who were still full of pride at the beginning, were like freshly drawn shoots, suddenly lost their moisture and wilted.
"Are you two alright?"
Xia Jing looked at the father and son lying back in the cabin, her face was pale, and even her lips lost their blood.
Li Chengyi smiled bitterly: "Queen Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while. Vomit."
"Vomit."
