After leaving the palace, Zhu Yuan took a sedan chair all the way to the southeast of Jinling City. This area was a gathering area for heroes and nobles. His fellow students from Guozi were nearby, as well as his family's 'Zhi Yong Zhai' shop, which opened some time ago, and Zhu Yuanzhang's old interior.

It's also slightly north.

In addition, there is a famous alley here called Wuyi Alley. The birdyi alley where the sun sets at the entrance of Wuyi Alley.

When they arrived at the Waggao Mansion, the middle door was opened wide. The Washington butler who introduced himself as Hua Fu came out with a group of servants eagerly. After saying a few words, his expression softened and turned into sadness.

As expected.

Mr. Hua was traveling all the way and fell ill. He was bedridden at the moment.

As he was talking, Zhu Yuan keenly noticed a special person among the crowd in Washington. This was a rich, middle-aged man in rich clothes. If he remembered correctly, his surname should be Fu.

As soon as he looked over, the man took a few steps forward with a flattering look, knelt down at Zhu Yuan's feet, and kowtowed a few times: "Young Fu Shou has met you, and you were able to settle in the Fu family.

Every time I think about it, I feel lucky."

Zhu Yuan subconsciously took two steps away and did not let the salt merchant named Fu kowtow to him. He motioned to Zhao Xu to pull him up before handing him over: "Zhu Yuan also wants to thank Mr. Fu for the hospitality."

Fu Shou looked so frightened that he almost knelt down. He bowed in return and said with a bow: "If you dare to be called an outsider, if you don't mind, just call me 'Twelve'. I am the tenth member of the family."

2." As he spoke, he turned to another matter: "Your Excellency entrusted Hua Pingzhang to pick up people. It happened to be that Xiao's caravan was traveling to and from Shandong. The people from Yizhou came to Jinling with Xiao Xiao today and should have arrived at Your Majesty's residence by now.

.As for the people of Dongchang, you still need to be patient."

Unexpectedly, Xieyi and Liubai's family members had already arrived in Jinling, and Zhu Yuan didn't know it when he left.

He handed over his hand again: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for taking the trouble."

Fu Shou hurriedly returned the greeting: "How dare you? The Fu family also entrusted Hua Pingzhang with his blessing. Speaking of which, I came to see Hua Pingzhang today. I heard that the master is also slightly ill. I still want to visit you, but I'm afraid it will be rude?"

"

Fu Shou said this with an expectant expression.

Zhu Yuan did not say this.

You can’t steal other people’s ‘white gloves’.

According to historical records, Hua Gao was so poor that he didn't even have the money for his funeral when he died. Zhu Yuan didn't believe it. However, there are also records of Hua Gao being impeached for doing business. No, he was caught on the spot, which is proof!

Seeing that Zhu Yuan had no intention of saying more, the housekeeper Hua Fu interrupted: "Sir, the master of the house said that you are weak. Please get into the sedan and we will carry you to the back house."

Zhu Yuan nodded.

I got on the sedan again, walked around a lot, and came to the door of a small inner courtyard.

Zhu Yuan took the initiative to shout to stop and no one else was allowed to carry him inside.

After getting off the sedan chair, only Hua Fu was allowed to accompany him inside.

As soon as he stepped into the main room of the small courtyard, Zhu Yuan heard a weak voice inside: "Master Xiu Cai, it's just Duke Xiu Cai who is here. Alas, I am useless and cannot greet you in person."

this……

Is it a bit overacting?

The maid in the main room opened the curtain, and Zhu Yuan looked towards the bedroom in the east room. Beside the bright window was a desk with some books on it, and an eye-catching pen. Looking inward, a female family member in red had just stepped out of the bed.

As he stood up, there was a maid standing beside him.

Then, an arm stretched out from the bed, looking shaky and pitiful.

Zhu Yuan could only step forward quickly, hold the big hand, and sit down on the stool beside the bed. He looked at Hua Gao, who had a sallow face on the bed, sniffed slightly, held back his smile and asked: "Master Hua,

What's going on?"

Hua Gao took Zhu Yuan's little hand and squeezed it, sighing: "Don't mention it. I have been tired all the way, and I also saw the tombs of my ancestors. I am so sad and sentimental that this has led to this."

Then he gestured: "You all go out."

When others left, Hua Gao continued to hold Zhu Yuan's little hand and said: "Master Xiu Cai, I heard that you have been promoted again. It shows that the Lord favors you. I would like to congratulate you again."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Why is it so familiar?

You say congratulations to me every time in this state, but I don’t feel happy at all!

So he stopped pretending, glanced at Hua Gao's face, and Zhu Yuan said: "Master Hua, since you are sick, you should eat less ginger. After all, it is spicy and has a strong taste."

As soon as he said these words, Zhu Yuan felt Hua Gao's hand holding his tremble. His expression control was very strong and there was no change at all.

The atmosphere was strange for a moment, and Hua Gao finally said: "Xiucai Gong...does he still know medical skills?"

Zhu Yuan could no longer hold back the smile on his lips, shook his head, and nodded again: "Master Hua asked me before, but he didn't make it clear at the time. I don't understand traditional Chinese medicine. However, I do know a little bit about another kind of medicine.

No, His Majesty recently made me a deputy envoy of the Imperial Hospital and asked me to assist in the establishment of Houhu Medical College. I am expected to serve as the vice president of Houhu Medical College and develop new medicine."

When Hua Gao heard this, his eyes lit up unconsciously.

Over the years, Hua Daren has sought countless doctors and medicines for the issue of heirs, but to no avail, but he still perseveres. When he hears the word "medical", he becomes impulsive.

Zhu Yuan did not seduce Hua Gao too much, and said directly: "I know what Hua Daxin is worried about. With the development of this new medicine, it may be able to help you find out where the problem is in the future." Feeling that big hand clenching again, he hurriedly

Added: "However, Huada people should not have too high expectations. This new medical treatment... I can tell you frankly that it will take only one or two years to achieve results. It is a long-term effort."

Hua Gao's eager expression indeed faded a bit, but he still said: "It's at the foot of the Red Mountain that my lord named me recently. It's a nice place. I'll take some time to get some land there. Sir, I don't mind if I do it with you."

Neighbors?"

What is this called?

People lie on the bed and know everything about the city.

"Of course it's no problem," Zhu Yuan nodded and said, "Master Hua, please tell me the reason for my coming."

Regarding new medicine, Zhu Yuan only mentioned it.

At that time, it was just a joke with Lao Zhu, and there was no real intention to use it as a bargaining chip to force Hua Gao to go out. This kind of thing is too unkind.

You still need to be reasonable and lobby in a serious manner.

Zhu Yuan thinks he is quite good at it.

When Hua Gao heard Zhu Yuan's turn, he immediately became weak again: "Oh, my body..."

Zhu Yuan was not distracted. He turned to look at the desk by the window and said with a smile: "That's...well, "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", a very good book. I also like to read history, especially history books.

There are various idioms about carving a boat and asking for a sword, following a picture to search for a journey, glue pillars and playing a harp, do you know the story behind these words, Mr. Hua?"

Hua Gao blinked his eyes.

There were no idiom dictionaries in this era, and even those in high positions did not have access to too many books. The breadth of knowledge accumulated by most scholars in their lifetime might not be as wide as that of a junior high school student in later generations, let alone Hua Gao, who was born a water thief.

Seeing that Hua Gao was confused, Zhu Yuan patiently explained it, and then said: "I think Mr. Hua is a typical person who carves a boat to seek a sword."

Hua Gao looked thoughtful and asked carefully: "How to say?"

Zhu Yuan said: "If Mr. Hua, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, simply gave up everything, the Zhao family would definitely be very happy and would not even use that glass of wine to release his military power. However, this emperor is different from an emperor. Our Majesty..."

After saying these words, Hua Gao straightened up slightly subconsciously and realized that these generals were really in awe of Lao Zhu from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but pause for a moment before continuing: "Our Majesty has great talents and great strategies, unlike those who can win half of the country."

Zhao Song was at peace at first. Moreover, His Majesty has a diligent character, and he did not change it even after becoming the emperor. Such a diligent person is the last thing to be lazy. Let's put it this way, our Majesty is like the village chief who leads a village to open up wasteland. As the leader, he also

He goes to the fields in person every day and works diligently. Mr. Hua thinks about it. At this time, everyone is clearing up wasteland and farming in the east, west, south and north. But there is a person who stays at home all day without going out. He doesn’t come out to work no matter how loud he is. You say, this

Will the village chief be happy that he retreated bravely, or will he become increasingly unhappy with this man's laziness and laziness?"

After Zhu Yuan said these words, Hua Gao was a little stunned and couldn't help but let go of the hand holding his.

After a moment, he said calmly: "This... Mr. Xiu Cai, how... how can you call the lord, the village chief..."

Zhu Yuan knew that Hua Gao was having a conflict of ideas and did not answer the call.

In fact, there were some things that he couldn't say clearly.

Over the past few days, Zhu Yuan has gradually summarized the second survival guideline of the Hongwu Dynasty: do things, work hard, and do a lot of things!

Just think of yourself as the donkey of the production team.

Because Emperor Hongwu, who said, "I will rise before hundreds of officials rise", has been diligent all his life. Such a person cannot tolerate lazy people under his command. The result of forced laziness will only become more and more disliked.

If he is really just the village chief, he will be disgusted if he dislikes him. There are not a few people in the village who are not doing their job properly and should be left behind.

But Lao Zhu is the emperor.

If His Majesty the Emperor constantly dislikes a person, it will lead to death.

After waiting patiently for a moment, Zhu Yuan saw that Hua Gao's expression had relaxed, and then continued: "Your Majesty recently planned to establish a navy. In the past, it was a navy that did not distinguish between internal and external waters. This time it will be separated, and there will be great development in the future. No.

I’m going to hide it from you, Mr. Hua, regarding the candidate for the naval commander to be established, it was you who was recommended by me..."

After saying that, seeing Hua Gao looking at him with a sad face, Zhu Yuan could only pretend not to see it and continued: "Your Majesty values ​​the navy very much, ten times more than Mr. Hua could imagine. And the reason why I recommend you is

Mr. Hua, you know how to advance and retreat, and do not take power. As a guarantor, I also helped you negotiate terms with Your Majesty in advance. Mr. Hua only needs to come out and work for three more years to build the framework of the navy. After three years, the Central Plains within the Great Wall

The land should have been calmed down, and your majesty will bestow honors on the meritorious officials. At that time, if Mr. Hua still wants to retire, how about he retire in glory with a title that can be passed down to his descendants? "

Hua Gao remained silent for a while.

Zhu Yuan waited for a moment and finally added: "Master Hua, think about it, it's not just our Ming Dynasty. As long as you nod, you will become the first naval commander in our history. If we don't say anything else, in many cases, fame is

The best amulet, Mr. Hua takes the first place, not only for you, but also for children in the future... think about the Kong family in Shandong that has been passed down for thousands of years. By the same token, your Hua family will also be able to rely on this name in the future.

Touze quilt descendants."
