Chapter 314 The foundation of the country

Zhu Yunyong still prefers bathing, mainly because he loves to be clean and pays attention to health. He pays more attention to these small details, including if he has the conditions to do so.

You can usually take a bath in a tub, but building a bathtub is no problem for Zhu Yunyong. Don't say that he is the emperor's grandson or the emperor, even ordinary nobles and wealthy people can do this.

.

The happy little Zhu was splashing around in the bath. This little kid simply loved playing in the water. He was restless even when taking a bath, and the splashing was very exciting.

"It's autumn, it's really comfortable to take a bath." Lao Zhu took the bath towel handed by Xiao Zhu and wiped his face, but couldn't take his eyes off Xiao Zhu, "We are strong, I remember you didn't have this when you were a child.

You are so strong, but you don’t like to eat, and we are greedy.”

Xiao Zhu was really happy and said emphatically, "Grandpa Huang, Yin'er isn't all that good. At his age, we are much more sensible than him. We, the prince, don't know how to do it, so we will make trouble."

"That's better than you. You are too thoughtful, sensible too early, and don't look like a child." Lao Zhu is not criticizing, he is sincere, "We and your imperial grandmother also know that you are good at fighting for favor, worry-free, and filial.

, but we still think about our grandson causing trouble in front of us. If you can’t do it, Yin’er can.”

Xiao Zhu, who ran over with splashing water with both hands, was very proud and said, "Great-grandfather, swim in the water."

"We saw it, let's drink some water." Lao Zhu picked up the little Zhu's fleshy body and said with great affection, "We Yin'er will go to handle important affairs of the court later. Great-grandfather is very happy. We Yin'er is sensible.

ability!"

No matter how small a child is, things are great in the eyes of their elders. Lao Zhu is very proud at this time. His great-grandson can handle important affairs of the court. Lao Zhu has great reason to feel proud at this time.

.

Little Zhu also became happy and got out of Old Zhu's arms, "Great-grandfather, I am a general, and I want to fight!"

With the noisy children nearby, there is nothing much to talk about. But even Zhu Yunyong, a young workaholic, and Lao Zhu, an old workaholic, may not always think about work or the court.

For government affairs, this time we took a bubble bath together.

Taking the juice from the maid, Zhu Yunyong reached out and fished it out for little Zhu. His precious son had a lot of juice every day, and little Zhu also liked it very much. This can be regarded as royal treatment, and this is what wealthy people want to achieve.

Not too difficult.

After holding the cup and taking a few sips of juice, Xiao Zhu was very generous and said, "Great-grandfather, you drink too!"

Old Zhu was even happier because his great-grandson was filial. As for Xiao Zhu, it didn't matter. He covered his face with a towel and soaked in the bath comfortably. I don't know how comfortable it would be if he was sweating all over.

After the noisy little Zhu was taken away, Lao Zhu asked, "Seeing that it's autumn, have you asked carefully about the firewood?"

"We have asked, not only in Yingtian Mansion, but also in Beiping, and in various health offices." Zhu Yunyong responded immediately, quite confidently, "Although I dare not say that there is no cold in the world, we should be prepared.

It’s still ready.”

This also made Lao Zhu feel more at ease. He sighed and said, "Winter is the most difficult thing. Ordinary people, many old people, cannot survive the winter. Even those who are young and strong may not be able to survive the winter."

Of course Zhu Yunyong knew this, so he said, "My grandson asked people to grow cotton a few years ago to make more cotton clothes and quilts. In addition to guardhouses and border areas, it can also bring some benefits to the people. In recent years, it has not been easy to let the people grow cotton.

The same principle applies to collecting taxes. Some cotton can survive the winter."

Growing cotton is not attractive to many people, mainly because people who have been hungry like to have food in their hands. Therefore, in addition to the guards in these years, Zhu Yunyong will kidnap Tatars from the north for distribution, and a large part of them are

Go grow cotton and mine.

These all require relatively high human resources. In today's era, there is no way to talk about mechanization. Basically, human resources are the mainstay.

Lao Zhu also looked at Zhu Yunyong with great satisfaction and said, "Although we have been soaked in bitter water, we know how difficult it is for the people to survive. We are very happy. Our children and grandchildren are all promising. We have not forgotten our roots and know how to care for the people."

"

Zhu Yunyong couldn't bear to see Lao Zhu Deyi, and immediately said, "That's just a grandson, just our father, we are good. Among our imperial uncles and cousins, there are not many virtuous kings. Of course there are some who are promising.

, there are also many who are tyrannical and don’t care about the people!”

"That's why you dare to talk to us like this!" Lao Zhu said angrily and funnyly, "It was better before, but now that we have given way to you, you are no longer big or small!"

Zhu Yunyong is not afraid of boiling water, and said lazily, "Even if the emperor has not abdicated, the grandson still has to say what he should say. Some of our uncles have indeed gone too far. There are also reports below, but we don't have many.

Whatever you say, Grandpa Huang will issue an order to reprimand you."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and then said, "We can't help it! We favor your father, you and Yin'er, but those imperial uncles of yours are also our heirs after all. We are not merciful to others, but those individuals

The bastard is our son after all!"

"My grandson naturally understands this truth, so he is glad that he did not enfeoff the kings." Zhu Yunyong brought up the old matter again and said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang should also see that there is actually an uncle who is not happy with his grandson's ascension to the throne."

Lao Zhu naturally knew about this, but even if his sons complained a little, they only dared to complain privately in the palace. He felt that even if the prince was gone, the money should not be given directly to the grandson.

In fact, Lao Zhu also understood that even if he was gone now, his sons would not dare to prick him, because his precious grandson was not lacking in skills and his control over the court was very good.

"What we were thinking at the time was that the Ming Dynasty would be protected by all the feudal lords and kings." Lao Zhu sighed, feeling a little helpless. "Those of your somewhat promising imperial uncles are quite reasonable. We have seen them over the years, and the one in front of us is

Everyone is obedient, but they become violent when they are no longer in front of us, and they have forgotten all our teachings!"

This made Zhu Yunyong proud, and said with great pride, "So our imperial grandmother is powerful, so let our father be kind. We, too, love the people. Even if our Yin'er seems naughty, we never punish the people below us, we just mess around.

a little."

This made Lao Zhu even more happy. His legitimate son, eldest grandson, and great-grandson all seemed to have a kind side.

Lao Zhu has never been shy about his cruelty, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. But seeing that his children and grandchildren all have a kind side, Lao Zhu is actually quite proud, and he also feels that these children and grandchildren have the kindness of his wife.

That side of.

Xiao Xiao Zhu was not around either. Zhu Yunyong told the truth, "Yin'er looks like a middle-aged man now. Although she is a bit young, we can still see some things. Now I think, it doesn't matter if Yin'er is naughty, but in my heart

Be kind and have good conduct."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment. Lao Zhu actually felt that he had the right to say whether his most doting great-grandson was a worthy person.

It is said that one looks old at the age of three, and Lao Zhu thinks there is some truth in it. His great-grandson is indeed not the most talented one. To say that Lao Zhu is not disappointed would definitely be false.

Lao Zhu believed that he was gifted with talents, his eldest son Zhu Biao was also smart, and his eldest grandson was even more precocious with magical powers. Originally, Lao Zhu thought that his great-grandson must be a talented child, but

He looks like an ordinary child now.

Zhu Yunyong continued, "Grandpa Huang, we think Yin'er should be kind-hearted and kind, at least in terms of face. He should also know the sufferings of the people, the hardships of the world, and the difficulties of starting a business in the Ming Dynasty. Some things are said in the books

It doesn’t matter, what the tutor said about those companion readings, it doesn’t matter, you still have to let him see it.”

Lao Zhu feels that he must be kind and kind-hearted. His sons and grandsons do well on the surface. They are kind and benevolent, but when they should be ruthless, one becomes more ruthless than the other. This is the benevolence and kindness that an emperor should have.

"Grandpa Huang, how many more years do you have to live?" Zhu Yunyong looked at Lao Zhu and said very seriously, "We have been busy with political affairs these years. Although Xu Miaoqing is a daughter-in-law, she doesn't have the ability of Grandma Huang. There are some things we can teach you.

Grandpa Huang can teach you, but Xu Miaoqing can't. Grandpa Huang, if you have something to do, take Yin'er for a walk outside the palace city. We won't worry about others."

Lao Zhu, who was stunned for a moment, nodded, smiled and said to Zhu Yunyong, "Okay, let's take care of Yin'er for a few more years. Let's wait until he becomes more sensible before we leave!"

"That won't work. We think Grandpa Huang will live to be at least eighty." Zhu Yunyong laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "Yin'er will be twelve by then and will basically be sensible. If Grandpa Huang gives up by then, we will

It’s also practical.”

Lao Zhu pretended to glare and cursed, "Your father has no future, and you are also a bastard! We have worked hard all our lives, and we still have to take care of your children! We are already seventy-one, and ordinary old men should enjoy the blessings."

, we still have to work hard to take care of your children?!"

You have to take care of the child, and continue to take care of the child. If Lao Zhu lives a few more years, Zhu Yunyong thinks it will be the best thing.

After taking a bath, Zhu Yunyong said with a smile, "Come to our place, we have prepared wine and food! Let's have a pot of rice wine and some soybeans. It just so happens that your great-grandson has also learned some sword dancing and asked him to show us how to entertain.

"

Lao Zhu was happily putting on his clothes, "We've already seen it, he can't hold the knife steady, so we won't bother him. Let's go have a glass of wine to warm up, but you should eat less crabs. That thing is cold in nature, so

No meat! We don’t understand why we like that thing!”

Eat hairy crabs to satisfy your hunger, now we have such conditions!

The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing when they saw a young man running around the palace with a slingshot and sword.

Lao Zhu’s ‘younger son’ Zhu is now ten years old.

Looking at this naughty and martial-minded young son, Lao Zhu snorted coldly.

And Zhu Yunyong laughed and said, "It's time for the twenty-fifth uncle to be crowned king. In two days, let the clan's mansion and the Ministry of Rites make preparations. But we have agreed that the emperor's grandfather will be the one to crown the king. After all, we are different in seniority."

Lao Zhu nodded. He had twenty-six sons in total. Two of them died in infancy. Now the youngest is Zhu, who is about to be crowned king.
