Chapter 233: Zhu Biao is coming to Beiping
Guo An said: "That's because His Royal Highness has no other preferences except for reading!" ”
"Wechen remembers that when Wechen first came to Yanwang's Mansion, the prince was very interested in the textile machine, but His Royal Highness was a little disliked!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's face couldn't help but darken.
He couldn't help but think of the scene where Guo An picked up his family Chi'er to play with the textile machine, and since then, his family Chi'er has become wild.
actually took Zhu Gaoxu's bastard things and made a fuss around the mansion.
Under the teaching of those professors in the palace, after half a month, Chi'er was able to quietly follow those professors to learn Confucian classics.
Below, Guo An naturally didn't know that his previous random incident had brought a big shadow to Zhu Di.
Just continued: "Your Highness, Weichen heard that when you were young, Your Majesty not only asked you to study with the Great Confucian, but also asked you and your Royal Highnesses to wear bast shoes and wrap your legs, go hiking outside the city, and learn martial arts......
Even, after you become an adult, His Majesty wants you to go to Fengyang to stay in Fengyang, practice military exercises, cultivate fields, and understand the life and hardships of the people! ”
"And now, His Royal Highness has kept the prince in the deep palace. In this way, when the prince grows up, in addition to being proficient in Confucian classics, Weichen really doesn't know what else the prince knows......"
"Even martial arts...... Wei Chen looked at the body of the son, he was also chubby and slow, how could there be a trace of children's stubbornness and alertness? ”
"As the teacher of the prince, Weichen is really worried, if it goes on like this, the prince will not know the things of Beiping Mansion......"
"Moreover, His Royal Highness King Yan was in Beiping to resist the Mongols for the Ming Dynasty...... However, if His Royal Highness can only read, but he is not proficient in military formations, and he does not understand the major workshops in my Beiping Mansion, how can the soldiers under His Royal Highness like a weak prince? ……”
Zhu Di couldn't help but fall into contemplation, from childhood to adulthood, he was deeply influenced by Lao Zhu, leading troops to fight, governing the country, and everything had the shadow of Lao Zhu......
Similarly, they also like their eldest son very much, and have high hopes for their eldest son, hoping that their eldest son will become a talent, but they don't want their eldest son to suffer too much!
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, the two bastard boys, don't like to study, so Zhu Di let the two bastard boys go to practice martial arts, and he didn't worry about whether the two boys would be injured by work.
However, for Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di loves it very much, and has hoped that Zhu Gaochi will be all-round in civil and military affairs since he was a child.
It's just that Zhu Gaochi likes to be quiet or not, and Zhu Di doesn't mind, as long as Zhu Gaochi can be like the eldest brother and the prince, and can govern the Yan Kingdom well!
And now, as soon as Guo An said this, Zhu Di suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
In any case, the son of King Yan must be proficient in military affairs.
As for the Confucian classics, they can all be put aside!
"Guo Qing came to look for Chi'er this time, I don't know why?"
Guo An said: "Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen wants to take the prince out for a spin and inspect the farms of my Yanwang Mansion, major workshops, academies, Zhangjiawan Wharf, ......"
"Huh?"
Zhu Di was stunned.
"Guo Qing doesn't take Chi'er to learn martial arts? Or is it a joke? ”
Guo An sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness, Weichen himself can't learn martial arts, and he can't play, how can he teach the prince to learn martial arts and play?" ”
"Wechen will only study some craftsman skills, and then make a profit, so that the people of Beiping Mansion can also make some money!"
Zhu Di was stunned, how did he listen to it, how did he think Guo An was so unreliable?
He also regretted it a little, why did he have a brain twitch two days ago and let Chi'er worship Guo Thief as a teacher?
The dignified prince of Yanwangfu, but what craftsman skills did he learn? What business business is going to learn?
As soon as he saw Zhu Di's expression, Guo An knew what Zhu Di was thinking!
"Your Highness doesn't look down on the skills of craftsmen? Looking down on businessmen? ”
"Does Your Highness also think that grenades, incendiary bombs, and even the two small fires in Wei Chen's hands are useless things?
Or, the 100 acres of good rice on the farm are also useless?
Still, Zhangjiawan Pier is useless......"
Zhu Di's face changed quickly, and he hurriedly said: "Guo Qing misunderstood, we definitely don't have this intention!" ”
Guo An's expression eased slightly, and he looked at Zhu Di quietly.
Zhu Di instructed Ma He on the side: "Hurry up and invite the prince!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ma He answered, and hurriedly walked towards the apse.
Above, Zhu Di remembered something, so he asked Guo An: "Guo Qing, can't the good rice on the farm be harvested yet?" ”
Guo An replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, the good rice on the farm is not completely ripe, but according to the speculation of Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi's brothers, it can be harvested in two days at most!" ”
"Very good!"
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "When harvesting, we will definitely take Chi'er and go to harvest in person!" ”
Guo An praised: "The best teaching for the prince is His Highness's words and deeds, His Highness is wise!" ”
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled slightly, "We thought that Chi'er was still young, so it was not appropriate to take it with us."
Now, Chi'er has grown up, and we will take him with us for some important things in the future! ”
Guo An bowed slightly, and was about to praise Zhu Di again.
Li Wang hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's decree!"
"Bring it!"
Zhu Di shouted.
"Whoa!"
Li Wang hurriedly handed a letter in his hand to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di took it apart and took a look, and his eyes shrank.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Guo An asked.
Zhu Di replied: "Father asked us to try our best to delay the harvest time without affecting the good rice, and the prince wants to come to inspect it!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Guo An and Li Wang couldn't help but be surprised.
"Your Highness, the crown prince is on patrol, this is a big deal!"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Di looked at Li Wang, "Quickly send someone to summon Tang Yun!" ”
"Whoa!"
Li Wang's face was solemn, and he answered, and hurriedly walked out.
It didn't take long for Li Wang to walk out.
Zhu Gaochi, the little chubby dun, also walked in with Ma He.
"The child has seen his father and the teacher!"
"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After seeing the gift, Guo An asked directly: "The firearms workshop, steel workshop, glass workshop, academy, farm, or Zhangjiawan Wharf in the mansion, I don't know which one the prince is interested in?" ”
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Guo An with a puzzled face.
"Gao Chi doesn't know what the teacher means?"
"I'm going to take you out for a walk, wherever you like!"
"Really?"
Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, and then hurriedly looked at Zhu Di on the side.
Zhu Di said helplessly: "Today, Guo Qing will teach you ......"
"Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed.
"Teacher, I want to go to the academy!"
"Go ......"
Guo An is very crisp and neat.
Soon, one large and one small, followed by a few guards, left the palace gate.
Along the way, Zhu Gaochi was very excited.
And to the academy.
Zhu Gaochi was even more excited, and he had to ask what he saw.
"Teacher, why is the entrance of the academy so prosperous? …… There will be so many vendors selling pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and so many ...... selling food and snacks."
"Because the richest group of gentry and wealthy merchants in Beiping Mansion are all here!"
"Teacher, there is still my Yanwang Mansion guard patrol here?"
"Because most of these extravagances are from my Yanwang Mansion!"
"Huh? …… Teacher, this is the library? ”
"Hmm!"
"Teacher, there are so many people here? …… Teacher, there are a lot of classics here...... I'm going to read here......"
"I'll see it in the future, I'm just taking you around the academy today!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
"Teacher, there are so many springs here? Still so cool? …… Teacher, can you rest for a while, Gao Chi really can't walk! ”
"You're too weak, I'm so old, I haven't felt tired yet, I've only walked a few steps, and you're already sweating......"
“……”
At the same time.
Three magnificent ships also began to follow the canal and enter the boundary of Beiping Province.
Zhu Biao, who was chubby, walked out of the cabin with a curious face after hearing Li Jinglong's report.
Stand at the bow of the boat.
As far as the eye can see, the wide canal is full of merchant ships coming and going.
However, after seeing Zhu Biao's luxurious fleet full of soldiers and generals, those merchant ships immediately avoided far away.
If he couldn't avoid it, he directly docked the ship on the shore and waited until Zhu Biao's fleet passed before setting off again.
After looking at it for a while, the merchant ships passing by on the canal still did not decrease in the slightest, and even increased.
Zhu Biao's face was slightly happy, and he said with emotion: "I have always heard that Beiping Mansion is becoming more and more prosperous under the governance of the fourth child.
Now, just by these endless stream of merchant ships, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture! ”
On the side, Li Jinglong echoed, "Your Highness is wise, I heard that the Zhangjiawan Wharf in Beiping Mansion is now as prosperous as the wharf in my Jingshi!" ”
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and asked again: "How long is it to get to Beiping Mansion City!" ”
Zhu Liang on the side hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, now the fleet is traveling day and night, and the speed is extremely fast, and it can arrive at Zhangjiawan Wharf early tomorrow morning."
If His Royal Highness disembarks at Zhangjiawan Wharf and takes the carriage for two hours, he can enter the city of Beiping Mansion and enter the Yanwang Mansion!
If the fleet directly entered the city of Beiping Mansion, it would take so long to arrive at Yanwang's Mansion! ”
Zhu Biao said: "In this way, then get off the boat at Zhangjiawan Wharf!" Let's take a good look at how prosperous Zhangjiawan Wharf is? ”
"Whoa!"
Li Jinglong, Zhu Liang and others hurriedly gave up.
Then, after continuing to look at it for a while, Zhu Biao felt a little tired and returned to the cabin.
Because Zhu Biao's fleet was on the road day and night all the way, many officials along the way did not know that the Ming Prince was passing by.
Even, even Zhu Di, as well as Beiping commanded Zhou Xing, and the political envoy Nie Zishi, these feudal officials, did not know.
Of course, no one dared to send troops to investigate without permission.
Only Zhu Di sent Tang Yun, the commander of Yanshanwei, to personally take two hundred generals to guard the Zhangjiawan wharf.
Let the commander of Tongzhou Wei Qiu Pei, as well as a group of Tongzhou Wei commanders and governors, Zhizhou and others, all be uneasy, for fear that some bastards will appear in Tongzhou again, which will annoy His Royal Highness King Yan.
However, after hearing that Shi Guo'an, the head of King Yan's mansion, and King Yan were inspecting the Zhangjiawan Wharf, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course.
Zhangjiawan Wharf security 100 households Shixing and steward Fu Yiquan were not so relaxed, and even worried.
Because, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yanwangfu also came, and he was wandering around the dock with curiosity on his face.
The wharf is full of businessmen from all over the country, everyone has it, and it is very chaotic.
If you accidentally touch His Royal Highness the Prince, then cutting off their heads ten times or eight times will not be enough to compensate!
