Chapter 6: Passing By
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Okay, it's right to think so, with the people of the world in mind, so that you can be a qualified prince, okay!"
Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief, and the word Chujun came out of his grandfather's mouth, which was a great affirmation of himself.
Fortunately, so far Uncle Twenty has not endangered his position.
After Zhu Yuanzhang got into the carriage, Zhu Yunwen rode on the horse, and everyone continued to hurry.
When the sun set, we finally arrived at Kaiyuan City.
Entering Kaiyuan City, it was not as bright as Ying Tianfu.
The most open on the main street are some restaurants, restaurants, and other shops that sell mountain goods, but they are not as luxurious as some places in the south, and there are relatively few entertainment venues.
But the people on the street were all red and red.
Obediently, along the way to the north, the people in the north have suffered years of war, and the food at home is barely enough to fill their stomachs.
But the people here are completely different, there are so many "round and jade" people on a street, how not to teach people to be amazed, this life is too good!
And at this moment, Zhu Yunwen found that there was also a horse team in front of him.
Isn't the man with a curved bow at the front of the horse team his twentieth uncle Zhu Song?
It looks like they have just returned from hunting, and everyone has one or two prey hanging behind them, and there are countless small rabbits.
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to expose his identity, let alone his grandfather's identity, so he lowered his head and didn't look at Zhu Song.
And Zhu Song really didn't find Zhu Yunwen, because he hadn't seen Zhu Yunwen since he crossed over, and he got himself to Liaodong to settle down in one fold.
Not to mention Zhu Yunwen, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Song have never seen him.
Because it was rainy on the day of the performance, it was dark in the hall, even if the lamp was lit, Zhu Song knelt far away, and he didn't see his father's appearance clearly.
However, this convoy still attracted Zhu Song's attention, especially the carriage that Zhu Yuanzhang was riding, which was almost the most luxurious and decent carriage that Daming could make.
There are rules in the imperial court that ordinary people cannot use a chariot with more than two horses, so most of the carriages on the road are drawn by one horse.
And the Ming Dynasty officials had very few horses, and they generally didn't need such a good carriage for travel.
So judging by the luxurious carriage and a horse, this is probably a wealthy merchant.
Another rich businessman came to Kaiyuan, but unfortunately, these people are not Hu businessmen, they are probably rich businessmen somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Song didn't think much about it, but remembered that Kaiyuan was a wealthy businessman, and then returned to the palace with his subordinates.
Zhu Yunwen pulled the horse to the side of his grandfather's carriage.
"Grandpa, I saw Uncle Twenty just now, but Uncle Twenty didn't recognize me."
Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"You didn't grow up when he left, but now that you've grown up, there are naturally some changes, and it should be that he didn't recognize it."
"What did this kid do just now?"
After Zhu Yunwen stopped, he recalled the picture just now in his mind, and only felt that the twentieth uncle was very skillful and heroic, if he said so, I was afraid that the emperor's grandfather preferred the twentieth uncle.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes rolled, and he changed his words.
"Grandfather, Uncle Twenty should have just come back from hunting, it seems that there are a lot of people, and it is very extravagant to drive an eagle and lead a dog!"
Zhu Yunwen thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could be a little unhappy, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to laugh after hearing it.
"It's normal, Liaodong is a mixed place of Han people, Jurchens, and remnant Yuan, remnant Yuan grazes and Jurchen people hunt, and he goes out to fight by himself, which can be regarded as adding food to himself, which is not extravagant."
"Grandfather said very much, then grandfather, let's go tonight, or stay for one night?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the curtain.
"Find an inn to rest for a while, don't alarm the officials of Kaiyuan!"
"Yes!"
Let's say that after Zhu Song returned to the palace, he handed over the prey he caught to the kitchen to cook and roast.
Behind Zhu Song was an iron tower-like man, who carried at least four deer on his back, and handed them over to the kitchen.
"Lord Wang, you are so powerful, I can't shoot so many deer at once, I can't do it, and it will break as soon as I pull the bow!"
Zhu Song laughed after hearing this, the tower-like man behind him was Zhang Tiezhu, the military general he received in Liaodong.
This guy is a standard Shandong man, and he came to Liaodong to join the army and come here.
At the beginning, Zhu Song had just arrived in Liaodong, and he was the one who organized and commanded the most remnants of the Warat.
And this iron pillar usually has a straight temperament and doesn't bend when he speaks, but Zhu Song likes his temperament, especially when this guy fights, he doesn't want to die, but he is a sonorous tiger under his hands.
"Your big hands need a special bow to be worthy of you! After a while, I will ask the craftsmen in the army to make you a special big bow for you to shoot! ”
Zhang Tiezhu smiled after hearing this, his beard stood on end, like a needle, and his face was black, so it seemed that his teeth were white.
"Thank you for your humble position!"
"Stay and eat, don't go!"
The people of the palace began to be busy, and Zhu Song deliberately built a barbecue grill, just to be able to test some large prey, such as roasting whole sheep and roasting suckling pig.
After a while, Cao Qinghe also rushed over, and the three of them gathered around the bonfire, and some people kept shaking the barbecue grill.
Zhu Song said to Lao Cao: "Is there a group of people coming to Kaiyuan today?" ”
Cao Qinghe nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a group of people here, it looks like a rich businessman from a big family in Jiangnan, how does the prince know." ”
Zhu Song smiled.
"It happened that when I was back to the city, I ran into a rich businessman of this level, what did he do when he came to Liaodong without anything? Could it be that it is a business, but this span is too far, right? ”
"Could it be that the news that King Ben likes to collect strange things has spread to the customs so quickly? That's not a good sign. ”
The venison hadn't been roasted yet, and Zhang Tiezhu took a big sip of wine.
"Lord Wang, maybe this businessman went to the north to do business, and occasionally heard the news that the prince likes to collect treasures in the north, so he came to us."
"Since he dared to come, he must have brought a lot of treasures!"
Cao Qinghe nodded.
"Yes, Lord Wang, General Zhang is right, maybe this rich businessman only found out when he arrived in the Guannei."
Zhu Song smiled after hearing this: "Maybe it's really this king thinking too much, but I must keep an eye on it recently, I always feel that something is going to happen." ”
Cao Qinghe and Zhang Tiezhu glanced at each other after hearing this.
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Song looked at the two of them and smiled.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a hunch, by the way, grind the spicy seeds into powder and sprinkle a little bit of that flavor on the venison!"
