As before

Lao Zhu held his great-grandson in his arms, which gave him some small psychological comfort. He seemed to have somewhat overcome the grief of losing his son.

"Yin'er, call us." Lao Zhu hugged little Zhu and smiled happily, "If you call us, we will give you candy."

Zhu Xiongying, who was reviewing the memorial, was delighted, "Grandpa Huang, Yin'er is not as smart as me."

Lao Zhu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiongying, with a bit of disgust in his eyes. So sometimes love really transfers. Zhu Xiongying used to feel that in Lao Zhu's heart, Da Zhu was the first one, and Zhu Xiongying was not confident at all.

Love, he is second.

But now, Zhu Xiongying feels that he is probably still in second place, because a certain little guy with fat breasts is more popular.

Zhu Xiongying said while reviewing the memorial, "Grandpa Huang, I think what we talked about last time is feasible. Needless to say for civil servants, these scholars come one after another, and they are born to stick together. If you are an honorable noble

If we don’t provide some support, maybe in a few decades the civil servants will become too powerful.”

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "Children of military attachés should also practice riding and archery. Look how long it has been since the world was at peace? Now the dandy boys and Gaoliang boys in Yingtian Mansion are all from noble families. We thought, how about the royal children also

You need to practice the Four Books and Five Classics, or you can ride and shoot."

Zhu Xiongying immediately laughed dryly, and then struggled a little, "Then I'm afraid many of my uncles will not be able to be crowned kings."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, he was talking about Zhu Yunxi, who was not good at literature and martial arts. If we say that the biggest dude in Yingtian Mansion nowadays is obviously Zhu Yunxi. But it was good, there was no big trouble during the period of keeping filial piety.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "If a military attaché can't ride a horse or shoot a bow, he shouldn't take up the post. That one from the Yangzhou Guard is a joke!"

The catalyst was Shan Shou, the commander of the Yangzhou Guards, who attacked his father's position and led his troops to Taizhou to capture the bandits. This turned out to be a good thing. When he encountered the bandits, he was timid and ran away. He also led the crowd to escape. This was a defeat.

Terribly miserable.

This is an official position of the third rank, the highest military officer of the guard, and can be regarded as the backbone of the Ming Dynasty's military. The result is good, this is also a general who can command nearly 6,000 people. When he encounters bandits, he is completely like a tiger.

Father and son.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "I will ask the Fifth Army Governor's Office to let the generals' children practice martial arts and learn the art of war. Since you want to inherit the position, you still have to have some skills. If you inherit the position, you will be fined if you can't ride and shoot. If it is not enough for the re-examination.

, demoted to the army, lest those people harm my military household."

Lao Zhu then said, "In the age of twenty, if you are too young or if your elders die in battle, the country should support you. If you still can't do anything when you reach twenty, let's consider it a good thing. The dandy went to the battlefield.

That means losing your life."

Just as the two of them were teasing the baby and chatting, Xu Miaoqing entered the Qianqing Palace and said, "Grandpa Huang, Your Highness, it's time to have a meal."

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, and said, "Qing'er, it seems like you haven't worn any jewelry before. I'll have someone give you some jewelry. If you don't like it, go to the library and choose some by yourself. I just bought some jewelry from you a few days ago."

Nanyang sent back some jewelry."

Xu Miaoqing immediately said, "Grandpa Huang, Sun Chen doesn't need those, and His Highness doesn't like them either."

"That kid is more old-fashioned than us. We rewarded you, but he didn't dare to say it." Lao Zhu said decisively, "You should be respected for your contribution to our Tian family."

Xu Miaoqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sun Chen is a wife of the Heavenly Family, so it is natural for her to contribute to the Heavenly Family."

Lao Zhu is very satisfied with Xu Miaoqing's attitude. Lao Zhu is very generous with his rewards. But such generosity also requires seeing Xu Miaoqing's attitude, which is more important.

Zhu Wenyin didn't give any face to Lao Zhu. He wanted to hug his mother when he saw him. When he didn't get a response, he started crying. This kid didn't give Lao Zhu any face. He should please him for the sake of the throne.

There is no way, who would have told my son not to travel through time? He doesn't have so much thought, the little guy is simple and instinctive.

Lao Zhu did not embarrass Xu Miaoqing and handed Zhu Wenyin to Zhu Xiongying with a smile. Zhu Xiongying smiled and handed his fat son to Xu Miaoqing.

"You go to the side hall first, and come over for dinner later." After patting Zhu Wenyin's little butt, Zhu Xiongying said, "This little thing should go to sleep."

Seeing Xu Miaoqing walking away, Lao Zhu asked, "Qing'er has always been feeding?"

"There are two wet nurses following us. It's just that Qing'er and I feel that we can feed the baby by ourselves." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's good now. That baby from Yin'er just clings to me and his mother. If you hug her more, the baby will stick to it."

.”

Lao Zhu thought about it and said half-truthfully, "Ying'er, we remember you said that if you have an heir, you want us to educate him."

Zhu Xiongying immediately started to pretend to be stupid. He was still young and ignorant, so he went off the rails and couldn't come back now.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying pretending to be stupid, Lao Zhu knocked on the table and said, "Ying'er, I think we are too old, so we can still do it in the next two years."

"Grandpa Huang, you have to teach me first!" It was probably Zhu Xiongying who dared to interrupt Lao Zhu. "If you teach your grandson, Grandpa Huang will teach Yin'er when the time comes. He hasn't taught him yet.

As for weaning, he doesn’t understand what Grandpa Huang said.”

Lao Zhu was angry and funny, but he also felt that this statement was correct. He was indeed not suitable to teach Xiao Zhu now.

Just remembering something, Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until Yin'er can learn government affairs. When we do, you have to bury us in Xiaoling. Your parents are over there, your imperial grandmother

It's over there, and we'll go there in the future."

Zhu Xiongying nodded affirmatively, this was very clear, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has said before that I will also go there when the time comes. Then we will be together as a family, and we will start building the mausoleum as soon as I ascend the throne.

Why don't we stop repairing Grandpa Huang's mausoleum, which has been under construction for more than 20 years, and build it for our grandson first."

Building mausoleums is not a taboo topic, because under normal circumstances the emperor would start building mausoleums as soon as he ascended the throne.

Lao Zhu immediately showed a smile and said, "Our mausoleum is almost ready, just slow down in the past two years. Don't build your mausoleum yet, it is unlucky. If you really want to be in front of us, I will have someone help you choose a location."

"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said immediately, "When the time comes, the mausoleums of the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother will be higher, so that they can see their grandchildren. But we have agreed not to be too close by then. When the grandchildren grow up, they will also marry wives."

Already."

Lao Zhu pretended to be unhappy and said, "That's not what I said before. I wanted to be right in front of us before. Now that I have a wife, I want to be far away from us?! That's okay. Let's have someone go and take a look."

As long as we can see you and Biao'er."

This is a bit sad. In fact, Lao Zhu is a person who attaches great importance to family ties. However, in his life, the top two people have passed away one after another. Perhaps in the world now, what Lao Zhu is most worried about is the little one in front of him.

Zhu, and the country he conquered.

The two of them were drinking wine, eating vegetables, and chatting. After Xu Miaoqing finished coaxing Zhu Wenyin to sleep, she also came over. But in front of Lao Zhu, a feudal old-fashioned man, Xu Miaoqing did not dare to be careless.

It is true that no one in the palace dares to set rules for Xu Miaoqing, but now in front of Lao Zhu, Xu Miaoqing consciously does her duty. For example, the arrangement of the meal must be arranged by her herself. Now she also cleans up the dishes and chopsticks.

She'll do it.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is going to ban copper coins in a while." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "There is more silver, and treasure banknotes can also be used. Forget about copper coins, casting copper coins itself is time-consuming and laborious, and what's more, the Ming Dynasty

Firearms are also needed, and they must be made of copper."

Lao Zhu thought about it carefully and then said, "It's done, it's done. The state makes banknotes, and the orders are used in conjunction with copper coins. This is for the convenience of the people. We have issued an imperial edict. This matter offends people. As long as you have gold, silver, and treasure banknotes."

No more copper coins."

Lao Zhu also continued at this time, "It was a good thing that you planted cotton in the north in the past two years. We are also going to persuade the people to use the vacant land to grow mulberry and jujube kapok. We have enough food, so we can plant some cotton to survive the winter and make clothes. Now

Now that the country is at peace, we also plan to build some restaurants to accommodate guests from all over the world."

The nature of these restaurants is different, and they obviously have some diplomatic attributes. Zhu Xiongying thinks there is no problem.

Zhu Xiongying continued to chat with Lao Zhu about some things. The Ming Dynasty's national power is still relatively strong and its food reserves are relatively sufficient. But this does not mean that you can sit back and relax. Some things also need to be prepared for a rainy day.

So Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying quickly reached a consensus that it is very necessary to build water conservancy projects. The weather is good now, but no one can guarantee when some natural disasters will happen. Building water conservancy projects is very necessary, let alone

Guaranteed harvests during droughts and floods will at least give the people some capital to withstand natural disasters.

There are already some coolies, and reform-through-labor prisoners also need to be put to use. Such cheap labor costs have always been relatively easy for Zhu Xiongying to use.

Nowadays, the country is peaceful and the country is rich and the people are strong, but there is nothing to be satisfied with such things. The Ming Dynasty is very strong now, but the Ming Dynasty can also be stronger. The Ming Dynasty still has a lot of room for improvement, and this country can become stronger.

Since we have such ideals, it naturally means that we cannot stand still and we need to continue to make progress. As the emperor, Lao Zhu, and as the emperor's grandson, Zhu Xiongying, they need to take the lead, but they cannot settle for pleasure at this time.

.

It seems that there is not much change. Old Zhu and Xiao Zhu are still reviewing memorials, etc., studying state affairs, etc. It seems that there is not much change.

But many people also know that it is impossible for there to be no changes at this time. There are some undercurrents, which is also a very normal thing.

In fact, these things are still due to the early death of Da Zhu and the need for Lao Zhu to build a bridge and pave the way for Xiao Zhu. Naturally, these preparations need to be handled well, but they cannot be careless.
