"Girl, come and see how good this rice grows!"

"Look at this ear of rice, it is really full of grains, and the number of grains is indeed much more than that of Champa rice."

"Two months on the way back and forth, another two months in Yingtian, just four months, this is what it is."

“.”

In the eyes of Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer cares about the black avenue under his feet, after all, he has also contributed to the road construction in Yanmen County.

He just squatted by the ditch, caressing the ears of rice that were about to bend the stalks.

Looking at this scene, Queen Ma was also very happy.

Although she was not born as a farmer, she married the noblest farmer in the world, and naturally she was happy for the people's harvest.

Queen Ma covered the dazzling sunlight with her hands, came to Zhu Yuanzhang and squatted down, and said with a smile: "Look at this, it should be more than 600 catties per mu." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded with satisfaction and said: "It looks like this, but we still have to ask a few more farmers to see if they all have a yield of more than 600 catties per mu." ”

"Actually, this is already excellent, and it can already be regarded as the creation of his Ye Qing."

"But we have to do what we say, we should pick bones in the egg, and we have to pick some bones for him, otherwise there will be no reason to settle the account."

According to common sense, Zhu Yuanzhang said that if you can't get over without revenge, Queen Ma will not be happy.

But now she is very happy, because Zhu Yuanzhang said this with a smile, which is enough to prove that what Zhu Yuanzhang wants now is to let Ye Qing live well.

But at this very moment,

Mao Xiang suddenly came to their side and whispered, "Master, madam, the agents on the city wall are eyeing us again." ”

"I think Lord Ye will know that we are here again in the near future."

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and said: "Yes, there is progress, I am not afraid of being targeted, but I am afraid that I don't know about being targeted." ”

"But it doesn't matter, he can't treat us as labor prisoners and throw us in prison again!"

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage passed through the toll station in the door hole again and smoothly entered Yanmen County.

This time they could be said to have gone very well, because they also used the rules of the place just like the merchants who came for the second time.

It must be very smooth for people to check the road guide and pay the toll honestly.

After entering the city, although they were no longer shocked by the urban buildings and sidewalks and other facilities in Yanmen County, they were surprised by the summer clothes of the people.

Looking at the summer clothes of passers-by, I just feel that it is too 'cool'!

In fact, summer clothes in ancient China have long existed, especially in the open-minded Tang Dynasty, which is so cool that it is no different from modern times.

Not only men can wear short sleeves, but women can also wear short sleeves.

It's just that the summer clothes in Yanmen County, under Ye Qing's concept of combining ancient and modern, men not only wear short-sleeved vests in the shape of Hanfu, but also mostly wear knee-length shorts.

As for the Han women here, naturally there will be no scene of long legs on the streets like in modern metropolises.

The deep-rooted conservative ideas are not something that he can change in three years.

But compared with the women of Ying Tianfu, there are still some changes, and it is still relatively cool while retaining the shape of the Ming Hanfu system.

This kind of outerwear is all over the street here.

Of course, the people living here are not only Han people, but also many Mengyuan and Semu people from the Ming Dynasty, so they don't care, they can be as cool as they want.

Especially the woman who came from the direction of Gu Loulan, that is the walking little waist!

"Where do you look?"

"Look at your breath!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these young men who stared at others and couldn't take their eyes off them, and he was scolded.

Mao Xiao immediately turned around and said, "Master, everyone is looking at us, just like looking at something else." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang reacted, and their tightly wrapped clothes became an alternative here.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his autumn coat, and then realized that he was already sweating.

"Let's go, find a place to buy a glass of ice water."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembers that as early as when he left in May, there were people selling iced drinks here, after all, there was the best ice factory in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Mao Xiang and the others, as soon as they heard that the old man invited them to drink an iced drink, they immediately became interested, and directly sent people to ask on both sides.

But after waiting for a while, I only waited for the two of them to come back like wilted eggplants.

After Mao Xiang inquired about the situation, he reported: "Master, there is no ice water for sale in the entire Yanmen County. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing under the eaves, was so hot that he had already opened his collar, and it would be great if he really had a glass of chilled juice to eat at this time.

While wiping his sweat, Zhu Yuanzhang complained: "This Ye Qing, what else is he talking about being greedy for the people?" ”

"Isn't it revealing at the critical moment?"

"It must have been him who let all the ice supply himself and the county officials, as well as the Sai Guifei Club and the Yanmen Gambling House."

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang making a direct judgment, she also felt helpless in her heart.

I don't know if he Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Qing had a grudge in their previous lives, and His Majesty the Emperor, who was so shrewd in the palace, changed as soon as he came here.

Especially everything related to Ye Qing, it is really a direct conclusion!

But judging from the scene she saw in front of her, Queen Ma also felt like this.

The ice-making factory in Yanmen County uses the saltpeter ice-making method, which will not be affected by the season, and summer is the peak season for the ice factory.

If it is really only for government offices and entertainment venues, as well as for the wealthy, then it really can't be said.

Thinking of this, Queen Ma immediately went to a passer-by to inquire about the details.

But as soon as she left the team, before she could find someone to question, Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by the people of Yanmen again.

Queen Ma looked at this familiar scene, and immediately thought of the scene after Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the spiritual relics of Yanmen County with a drumstick.

It is said that history is always strikingly similar, and his experience of Zhu Yuanzhang in Yanmen County is worthy of this sentence.

"What are you?"

"Why do you speak ill of our Lord Ye?"

"That's it, have you asked the reason, just talk nonsense here!"

"Don't stop me, Lao Tzu is going to teach him now, what is called trouble from the mouth!"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned his back against the wall, if it weren't for more than a dozen 'heroes in cloth' who surrounded him, he would really have to be educated.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this familiar scene, but he didn't react for a while.

He only felt that there was something wrong with the feng shui in this place, and it was seriously inconsistent with his eight characters, if it wasn't for this, how could he suffer such treatment as soon as he came.

And outside the encirclement, Queen Ma just paid attention to everything in the encirclement, as long as his family was not really beaten.

What she had to do now was to quickly find someone to find out what was going on.

Finally, she fully understood the situation, and then she successfully resolved this misunderstanding with the people who surrounded her family.

Because Queen Ma herself has a strong affinity, coupled with her polite and pro-people attitude, as well as her impeccable eloquence, these people who heard him say bad things about Ye Qing soon let her family go.

It's just that before leaving, they didn't forget to viciously tell their Emperor His Majesty to be careful of the misfortune coming out of their mouths.

A moment later, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party walked on the way to the ice factory.

Inside the carriage,

Under Queen Ma's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang also quickly understood the situation, and it was indeed he who misunderstood Ye Qing.

Queen Ma continued: "Lord Ye paid out of his own pocket to let the ice factory step up production and supply the arsenal and mines. ”

"Even the ice cubes in the cellars of the rich families have all been bought by him, just so that all the soldiers can be replaced with new equipment before the war."

"Even he doesn't have any cold juice to drink!"

"Chongba, you have to ask things clearly before you speak, this is Yanmen County, you must be cautious!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also knew that he was wrong.

He didn't know what he was like, as soon as he came to this place, he couldn't help but want to find fault with him Ye Qing.

He just pouted and said unconvinced: "We have only heard that people should be cautious at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but we have never heard that the Son of Heaven should be cautious at the territory of the county officials." ”

Queen Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was still unconvinced, and she had no choice but to take him.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the ice factory.

Zhu Yuanzhang is actually a person with affection and righteousness, but his affection is definitely not for officials, but only for ordinary people.

He still remembers that he had a friend named Lao Liu, who was the captain of the transport truck in the arsenal.

In any case, he had also contributed to the Yanmen Arsenal, and he wanted to do something for them.

He wanted to buy as many ice cubes as possible in the name of 'Guo Rui' and send them over!

Of course, he did this not only because of Lao Liu, but also because these child soldiers who were about to change their costumes to defend against foreign enemies were also his Zhu Yuanzhang's people.

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma got out of the car, they saw a 'quarrel' at the gate of the ice factory.

In the eyes of the two, a servant was arguing with the people of the ice factory.

The master of the ice factory hugged a bucket of ice cubes and said, "Little brother, you can't come and pay, just go back empty-handed!" ”

"Lord Ye likes to drink chilled juice the most, so you can send him this bucket of ice!"

"Really, not this one."

The official sternly refused: "Lao Zhang, don't hurt me." ”

"This is not a question of this bucket, our Lord Ye is a person who says the same, he said that all the mines and arsenals are supplied, and he will never use ice in private."

"If I bring it back, I'll have to shed a layer of skin if I don't die."

"If you can ensure that you supply the mines and arsenals at the same time, and then supply the people in the market, Lord Ye will naturally use ice."

The icemaker shook his head, indicating that they couldn't do it.

The official continued: "Isn't this right, you have to know that this saltpeter ice-making method was taught to you by Lord Ye, and he doesn't know how to make ice himself?" ”

"If he really wants to use ice in private, he will make it himself, won't he?"

"But he didn't, the saltpeter is tight at the moment, except for you, it is used by the arsenal to make gunpowder!"

"If you really feel sorry for Lord Ye, then make more ice cubes and send them to the mines and arsenals!"

As soon as the words fell, the official who came to pay passed by Zhu Yuanzhang empty-handed.

After a while,

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang look in the direction of the county government, and there was a so-called 'convinced' look in his eyes.

"Let's go,"

"Let's visit Lord Ye!"

meanwhile

The agent who was sent to inform Ye Qing also turned over and dismounted at the gate of the county office!

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
