Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife had just entered Bianmao Street, and they just stood there and didn't leave.

In their eyes, there is a bluestone street as wide as 20 zhang, and on both sides of the street are brick and wood structure of six saddle frame tile houses.

The blue bricks, black tiles and wooden doors make the street here a little bit of Jiangnan.

And these open doors are all storefronts for business, some selling specialties from the Central Plains, some selling grassland specialties, and some selling specialties from the Western Regions.

These specialties include snacks, porcelain, glass products, tea, national garments and fabrics.

As for the shopkeeper who does business, he is also Han, there are colored mothers, and there are also Mengyuan people.

These multilingual shopkeepers only start talking nonsense when they see that everyone speaks Chinese, and only when the guests are really not good at Chinese.

There are so many people shopping, even though the street is 20 feet wide, it seems a little crowded!

Looking at these pedestrians shopping, I just feel that I am watching an exhibition of clothing of various ethnic groups, and you can see what kind of clothing color.

Not only that, but the shops on both sides have long been connected to each other, and all kinds of lanterns are hung on these lines.

There are silk lampshades, glass lampshades, and marquee lamps that can be rotated with the wind.

These lights illuminate the entire border trade street, and their different colors are enough to make people ignore the bright stars in the sky.

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also relieved to be in such an environment.

Zhu Yuanzhang, in particular, fell into contemplation.

In his mind, there were all kinds of rebellious ways of Ye Qing, and all kinds of scenes that made him lose his sense of proportion.

But in his eyes, it was an ideal scene for him, but he never achieved it, and he felt that it was out of reach.

Not bad

After he founded the country, he decided not to learn from Ran Min to kill Hu Ling, but to let the Semu people and Mengyuan people of the Ming Dynasty become the legitimate people of the Ming Dynasty, just for the sake of every place in the Ming Dynasty is the scene he saw in front of his eyes.

But the truth is not as he expected!

He believed that one day, the Han people would be able to assimilate them all, but he would never see that day.

But even if he can't see that day, he hopes that before assimilating these Semu and Mengyuan people, he can make all the Semu and Mengyuan people in the Ming Dynasty sincerely recognize the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to him, Emperor Zhu.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face, they didn't really recognize the Ming Dynasty, and he even got the news that many Mengyuan people secretly worshiped the former Yuan Emperor at home!

But what he sees here is not like this, the Han people here have the self-confidence of the Tang people to be proud of the world!

And the Mengyuan people and the people of the Western Regions here are all smiling so really!

Assimilation takes time, even Yanmen County under Ye Qing's rule can't assimilate them now, but it has managed to make them fully recognize here.

To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who saw the 'sense of belonging' and the feeling of 'home' in their eyes and smiling faces.

Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure that these foreigners who have obtained the Ming household registration because of his decree and settled in Yanmen County have stopped treating themselves as foreigners from the bottom of their hearts.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Zhu Yuanzhang went directly to a Mengyuan kebab shop.

"Give us a hundred skewers."

Meng Yuan, a young man in his twenties, saw that big business was coming, and he also took the initiative to chat with Zhu Yuanzhang while grilling skewers.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You speak northern Chinese, you don't look like a Northern Yuan person!" ”

The young man Meng Yuan immediately corrected: "This master, let me correct you, my ancestors are Mengyuan people who moved from the former Yuan, but I am not the current Beiyuan people." ”

"We are of the same clan, but we are absolutely different!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be curious and said: "How can you have different ways of the same sect?" ”

The young man Meng Yuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's not simple, the ancestors are all from the grassland, but the path is different!" ”

"They always want to fight back, and they always want to re-establish the Yuan Dynasty!"

"But what is the Yuan Dynasty, they don't know how to govern at all, except for those nobles who are well fed, even we can't eat enough!"

"When His Majesty Shengming won the world, he did not hunt and expel us, but also sent such a good official to manage us."

"It was Lord Ye who gave us a home, and it was Lord Ye who told us that our ancestral characteristic craftsmanship can make us money."

"Lord Ye said that as long as you don't look like coal, you can become a 'Chinese nation'!"

"As long as you recognize this place, as long as you are willing to fight for this land, you are all the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people of Yanmen!"

"If Beiyuan comes in, I will definitely cut them harder than anyone else!"

"Because, they are thieves who broke into my house!"

At the time of this sentence, the eyes of this young man Meng Yuan really had a blade, not only that, but even the mutton and cutting board were split in two with a knife.

Because the force of this knife was too great, a piece of mutton crumb flew directly to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

After Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his face, he stopped talking, just smiled and nodded.

After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again: "Then you guys, do you still worship the former Yuan Emperor?" ”

The young man Meng Yuan only felt that there was something wrong with this person, but he still didn't want to offend such a big customer, so he said generously: "I don't know if others worship or not, but I will never worship!" ”

"Emperor Qianyuan made me have a bad time again, why should I worship him?"

"If His Majesty continues to be so holy, after he dies, I will worship him!"

“.”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang directly had a crying and laughing expression, but overall, he was still relatively happy.

Although this sounds a bit rebellious, it is generally a good word.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang and this young man paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife, together with Mao Xiang and his twelve brocade guards, divided six or seven skewers of mutton skewers.

Looking at the weight of this sincerity, everyone frowned.

Mao Xiang leaned closer and said, "Master, if we eat this, how can we eat Lord Ye's banquet?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said: "Then we don't care, we will definitely eat everything in our hands, whatever you want!" ”

The young men of Jinyiwei are also helpless to eat directly, do they dare to be casual?

The lamb skewers rewarded by His Majesty, dare to throw them away without eating them?

Queen Ma, who was always on the side, ate happily, just because her family was happy, she was happy.

Obviously, her family is also very recognizable to Ye Qing's ability in ethnic management!

For now, he had temporarily forgotten that Ye Qing had made him suffer so much!

That's it

Zhu Yuanzhang led his people to walk from the end of Bianmao Street to the end of Bianmao Street.

Along the way, he chatted with many people, and after chatting with the vendors, he chatted with the people who went shopping, and the Han people, the people with the eyes, the Mengyuan people, and the people from the Western Regions all chatted a lot.

Through such an understanding all the way, although he didn't want to praise Ye Qing, he had to praise it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Queen Ma: "We stipulate that these foreigners who have settled in the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to marry in this kind in order to assimilate them, but it will take several generations, and we will not see that day." ”

"But we also want to see that before that, they all approve of us."

"What we didn't do, we were done by this seven-grade county official, and it's really a fucking talent!"

After the praise, he immediately realized a very serious problem.

"It's not,"

"It's been three o'clock, what about Ye Qingren?"

"He said he wanted to invite us to dinner, but he said a border trade street, and he didn't say anything about any restaurant?"

Queen Ma looked at the sudden epiphany of his family's Chongba, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

Along the way, there were meat skewers and all kinds of pastries, and everyone was already full, so he remembered that Ye Qing invited them to eat.

The point is that he still has the face to blame others for being insincere?

But after thinking about it, he Ye Qing really didn't do it well, how could he invite guests to dinner and only say the name of the big land?

This crowd of people, where can I find someone?

But at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

Queen Ma immediately looked back, and then saw the three familiar figures.

In front of the gate of the Border Trade Characteristic Restaurant,

Shen Wan'er asked, "Lord Ye, don't you say the name of the restaurant when you invite guests to dinner?" ”

Wu Yong frowned and said, "How good is this!" ”

Ye Qing opened the fan and said with an indifferent look: "Mistake, it's just a small mistake." ”

"Besides, if they don't come, aren't they all eaten by you?"

"The two of you eat a bucket waist with a small waist, and one eats like a belly that is five months pregnant, and when you are full of food and drink, you start to blame the official?"

Wu Yong and Shen Wan'er were a little embarrassed to be said, so they directly shut up.

But at this moment, Ye Qing was secretly happy in his heart.

Can he make such a low-level mistake?

He did it on purpose!

He just wanted them to find out afterwards that he Ye Qing was insincere, and he didn't even say the name of the store.

In the matter of offending the part-time Qincha Master Guo, he Ye Qing was absolutely meticulous.

Besides, he still has big things to do tonight, he doesn't have time to entertain them, he just wants to entertain Wang Baobao's people!

"Lord Ye,"

"You're done eating, do you remember us?"

On the street, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ye Qing faced each other again, and the distance between them was still the distance that they could stab each other to death at any time.

Ye Qing just swept his eyes, and knew that they were very engaged in shopping, and they were already full of snacks.

He never expected that these people would be so big-hearted.

He didn't even say the name of the store, so why did they actually come here?

And at this moment,

Wu Yong saw that Master Guo was a little displeased, and was about to go up and say good things.

Ye Qing saw that Wu Yong wanted to spoil him again, so he immediately spoke first: "Don't you understand what you say?" ”

"Since the official didn't say the name of the store, it proves that it is a kind word, you take the kind words as the truth, you can only blame you for being stupid!"

"Where did you get your face, here to talk to the official in a weird way?".
