"Fourth brother, where are you going?"
Mei Yin looked a little curious.
And quickly recalled what he knew about Zhu Di's history.
Some ideas quickly came to mind.
Could this be... the same as in the original history?
My fourth uncle and his fourth sister-in-law are going back to their hometown in Fengyang to have a baby?
And until the fourth brother got married, there was no movement in the fourth sister-in-law's stomach.
This is not impossible.
Zhu Di quickly informed Mei Yin what he was planning to do.
"Second brother-in-law, I'm going to go to the navy.
Be more familiar with it for the next battle at sea. ”
After hearing what Zhu Di said, Mei Yin suddenly thought of a lot.
I understood what Zhu Di was going to do.
According to the original history, Zhu Di did not do these things.
Now it's done.
And what he did this time was obviously aimed at the pirates at sea.
We must prepare for the next reset of the Shipping Department
As for why he wanted Zhu Di's general, Mei Yin already had an idea in mind.
One of the most important reasons, no need to think too much, is that Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, seems to be somewhat distrustful of other navy generals.
With the reorganization of the Shipping Department, the navy of the Ming Dynasty will become even more important in the future.
Before that, judging from the fate of the leading generals of the Chaohu Navy and the Jiang Waterproof Division of the Ming Dynasty.
This naval general also makes people somewhat uneasy.
For example, Liao Dingguo of the Chaohu Navy made great contributions.
But the rest are also big questions.
Not to mention the two brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang.
He committed various crimes and colluded with local forces and pirates.
Transferring interests to each other formed a particularly large interest network.
Thus the upper and lower hands are connected.
They ate up all the foreign trade money that should have belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang is preparing to open a shipping department to conduct foreign trade.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to send capable people, and most importantly, trustworthy people, to lead the navy.
Under this situation, according to Lao Zhu's thinking, his own son is naturally the most reliable.
There seems to be nothing wrong with letting King Yan command the navy.
It's something he can do.
It seems that with his arrival, this history has changed a lot.
At least this is the case with the fate of King Yan Zhu Di.
As long as I can keep Zhu Xiongying in the future, and try my best to let Zhu Biao, my uncle-in-law, live as long as possible.
Then in the future, many things will never happen again.
However, what Mei Yin didn't know was that even without his arrival, history would have changed a lot.
Lao Zhu has a simulator in hand, and he has always been thinking about imitating Mei Yin.
Zhu Di will have the current result because of Mei Yin's previous death remonstrance.
However, the biggest reason is not.
But it was Lao Zhu who had simulated Zhu Di's life before, and only after seeing Zhu Di's future.
"Fourth brother, do you have time?
If you have time, don't go back tonight.
Stay here for one night, and I will prepare some delicious food for you, Fourth Brother, to say goodbye to you.
It just so happens that I just made some wine recently, which has improved the taste of the wine a lot.
Fourth brother, give it a try.
See how it tastes. ”
After hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.
"Of course there is time.
Three days later, the journey will officially begin.
I came here in advance just to have a meal like this at your second brother-in-law's place.
Second brother-in-law, you are so good at your craftsmanship. I feel really bad if I don’t have a couple of meals with you before leaving. ”
"Haha, yes, the wine made by my fourth cousin and my second uncle is really delicious.
I guarantee that after you drink it once, you won’t forget it! ”
Li Jinglong, who was standing next to him, immediately responded.
It can be seen from here that Li Jinglong had already drank this wine in advance.
After hearing what Li Jinglong said, Zhu Di's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
He knows that many impossible things can become possible in the hands of his second brother-in-law,
As for Li Jinglong, there is no need to say more.
The mouth is particularly mouthy.
Now this wine can be said to taste good by the second brother-in-law, and it can be said to be particularly delicious by the eldest nephew Li Jinglong.
Zhu Di was full of curiosity and expectation.
"This time, it seems that I am really in luck.
Next, let’s have a good look at the wine made by the second brother-in-law. ”
When he said this, one could clearly feel that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It didn't take long for Mei Yin to carry the empty burden and return home with Zhu Di.
It quickly got busy.
As Mei Yin was busy, the aroma of food soon emerged.
Zhu Di and Li Jinglong are not idlers.
Everyone is doing what they can to the best of their ability.
Let’s prepare this meal together.
After a lot of work, the lunch meal was ready.
It's just a small cushion, the real big deal is at night.
"Second brother-in-law, you really have nothing to say about your craftsmanship. It's obviously just some very simple ingredients.
It seems that you made it very casually, but the taste just doesn't taste the same.
Just delicious. ”
Zhu Di was full of praise for his food.
As for Li Jinglong, he no longer cared about talking.
He kept pushing it into his mouth.
"The cooks in my house should be taken out and their legs broken!"
Hearing what Zhu Di said, Mei Yin suddenly thought of Xu Xingzu, the imperial chef who was famous for his unpalatable cooking.
I'm afraid this is the only one.
That is to say, Lao Zhu only tolerates him if he doesn't care much about his appetite.
If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have been driven away long ago.
Don't let him be a cook anymore.
Saying this, Mei Yin poured the wine.
This wine is some distilled wine that he made when he had nothing to do a few days ago.
The wine-making technology of this era has made great progress compared to before.
But the alcohol content is still not particularly high.
Even the strongest wine, according to Mei Yin's experience, is only over 30 degrees.
Compared with those wines of later generations, it is still very different.
So he built some devices and made some distilled liquor.
A purification was carried out.
"Fourth cousin, come and try this wine.
This wine is really something that once you drink it, you will never forget it. ”
Li Jinglong picked up the wine bowl in front of him, looked at Zhu Di and said with a smile.
Warm invitation.
Zhu Di stared at the wine in the bowl.
I saw that this wine was extremely clear and transparent, without any impurities.
Smelling the aroma of the wine, the greedy person has been lured out.
Hearing what Li Jinglong said again, he couldn't bear it even more.
Li Jinglong picked up the wine bowl, clinked it with Mei Yin, and then put it to his mouth. He raised his neck very proudly and drank the wine.
The drinking method is the same as before.
Mei Yin and Li Jinglong both took a small sip.
After Li Jinglong saw Zhu Di drink the wine, he couldn't help but smile.
Like a fox that has stolen a chicken.
Li Jinglong was holding back his misfortune, deliberately trying to trick Zhu Di into this little trap.
After all, the first time he drank wine, the feeling was unforgettable.
Zhu Di, who had been drinking very proudly just now, suddenly turned red.
He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
After doing this for a while, the redness on his face gradually began to fade.
He couldn't help but let out a breath of alcohol.
“Great wine!!”
He praised aloud.
"I've never had such a strong drink!
The wine I drank before was like swill compared to this! ”
Zhu Di praised him repeatedly.
Before his voice fell, he picked up the wine cup himself, poured himself a bowl, and put it to his mouth.
This time, he didn't dare to be as heroic as before and drank a bowl of wine directly.
Instead, he imitated Mei Yin and Li Jinglong and tasted them in small sips.
The more I drink, the better this wine tastes...
……
Although Zhu Di was full of praise for the high-alcohol wine made by Mei Yin.
But after drinking two bowls, I stopped drinking more.
Said that drinking too much would cause trouble.
From here, it can be seen that Zhu Di's determination is very strong.
A person's success is definitely not accidental.
Although there are many times when it seems that I am very lucky. Luck is the most important thing.
But luck, generally speaking, can only be temporary and cannot last a lifetime.
Zhu Di was able to do so many things according to the original history.
Of course it's not just good luck, the most important thing is having a variety of excellent qualities and abilities.
For example, the great mage Liu Xiu is often ridiculed. He is said to be a son of a plane, a meteorite falls from the sky, and there is a strong wind at a critical moment.
That's what it sounds like.
However, if we look at the other aspects of Liu Xiu together.
For Liu Xiu, these are actually more of the icing on the cake.
Liu Xiu fought many battles in his life.
It's not just that.
For example, once the generals on Liu Xiu's side encounter any difficulties or enemies that are difficult to conquer, they cannot defeat them.
Or be defeated by others.
Then Liu Xiu will personally lead his troops to attack.
And then, victory...
This kind of thing didn't just happen once or twice.
But every time.
It can be seen from here that Liu Xiu's fighting ability is really strong!
"Second brother-in-law, my father is planning to take action against the pirates this time.
We must destroy them and then open the Ship Division as soon as possible. ”
After drinking two bowls of wine, Zhu Di started talking to Mei Yin here.
Mei Yin said hurriedly: "Fourth brother, is it appropriate to talk to me about this matter?"
When not giving remonstrances, Mei Yin is actually quite measured in many matters.
Some things were too confidential and he didn't really want to know.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "It's okay, it's very suitable.
By the way, my father revealed this to me intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, it can be seen that my father is more willing for me to tell you this to my second brother-in-law. ”
Speaking of his father's operations, Zhu Di couldn't help but smile.
I feel that some of my father's actions are indeed quite amusing.
After hearing what Zhu Di said, Mei Yin stopped talking.
"Second brother-in-law, you don't know how hateful and arrogant those gentry over there in the south of the Yangtze River are.
The father's side has already released the news overtly or covertly.
And ask people to go there and be responsible for doing this.
It is already a release of goodwill to those people.
However, those wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, especially those who made a fortune through smuggling.
That's called being arrogant and domineering.
He simply ignored the people sent by his father.
They all looked very respectful, but in fact, they didn't say anything useful.
Arrogantly tight inside.
It's a given, my father can't get Shibosi up.
I also wanted to use this method to make my father retreat when he faced difficulties.
They are still dreaming of their spring and autumn dream and want to continue to monopolize these benefits.
These bitches will all suffer from them from now on!
We must chop them all down! ”
When Zhu Di said this, he couldn't help but curse.
He looked very angry.
It is not surprising at all that Mei Yin would react like this to people like Zhu Di.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents.
Those people, after all the hard work they put in before, finally brought the Shibo Company into obscurity.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang directly shut down the Shibo Division.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang is preparing to reset the Shipping Department.
Then this is typical, trying to snatch meat from their mouths.
It would be weird if those people would cooperate.
Moreover, these people are all used to being arrogant and domineering.
I feel that they can still carry this matter one more time.
It can also make Zhu Yuanzhang retreat when he sees difficulties.
But...how is this possible?
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang knew how much money Shibosi made, it was impossible for them to succeed!
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely win.
All I can say is that these people really want to die.
How dare you take such a leap in this matter.
What awaits them next is definitely not something good!
If you don’t eat the toast at this time, you will have to drink fine wine from now on.
Mei Yin has no sympathy at all for what these people will suffer in the future.
These moths are full of fat.
The tax farming system of the Yuan Dynasty whetted their appetites.
According to the original history, after the Ming Dynasty, it became even more excessive.
It has never stopped.
There are countless people making profits from it, and their mouths are full of oil!
The key is, he is also very capable of crying!
It will win benefits for their class.
Eating from Daming, drinking from Daming, and making money from Daming.
All kinds of dissatisfaction.
Their life was just too comfortable.
In the late Ming Dynasty, after the Qing army entered the customs, many gentry and higher classes were not surprised but happy.
He went to meet the Qing army happily.
Want to continue to protect their interests.
I feel that the demise of the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with them.
Then, he was given a good lesson by the Qing army who had no moral ethics.
It was not until the Qing Dynasty that these people became truly honest.
Although Mei Yin did not agree with many things in the Qing Dynasty.
However, their treatment of this gentry class is really a relief!
After a quick chop with the knife, all of these people suddenly became honest.
Therefore, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty spoiled them too hard.
As long as they can cut these people like leeks, they will cut them off one after another.
Kill them obediently.
Then the Ming Dynasty's Guozuo could last for at least many years.
He wouldn't have lost his country so early.
"Fourth brother, you really deserve to be killed!
If you try to reason with them, they won't listen.
To be honest, they will only think that you are afraid of them, want to ask for something from them, and want to discuss it with them.
Sometimes, when it's time to use the knife, you have to use the knife to kill a group of people.
Kill a few more batches and they will become more honest.
These people are typical people who push their noses and face.
Give them sunshine and it will shine.
If you don't kill him properly, you will definitely cause endless troubles in the future!
"Okay, second brother-in-law, you are right!!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him.
"What you said is almost the same as what my father meant.
My father thought so too, and so did I.
These people deserve to be killed!
Let them be rampant for a while first. Now their biggest support is the pirates outside.
When our army here reaches the sea and kills all the pirates, let’s see what they will do when they get there!
At that time, it’s time to settle the accounts for them! ”
When Zhu Di said this, he looked murderous!
Mei Yin was not surprised that Zhu Di also said such words.
After all, really counting, the rapid growth of the gentry class in the Ming Dynasty only started after Zhu Di passed away and his fat son Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi came to the throne.
When Lao Zhu was around, and when Zhu Di was around, those people didn't dare to act too haphazardly.
Saying this, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.
With a look of ridicule on his face.
"Those bitches, they thought that I, the Ming Dynasty, had nothing to do, but what about the pirates at sea?
Little do you know, second brother-in-law, you have already produced the Hongwu Cannon, which is very powerful.
Those pirates are far behind compared to these numerous Hongwu cannons!
Next, give them a big surprise! ”
Zhu Di was also holding back some energy in his heart.
Listen to what Zhu Di said and look at Zhu Di's expression.
Mei Yin felt that because of his appearance, Zhu Di was likely to be more active on the ocean in the future.
As a result, his title of King Yan is somewhat inappropriate.
In the future, will Zhu Yuanzhang change his account? For example, change it to a Neptune?
After all, he works at sea!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but laugh.
I think this is really interesting.
That night, Mei Yin continued to arrange drinks.
We talked all night long and took a break...
……
The next day, Zhu Di said goodbye to Shuangshui Village and returned to the capital.
The first thing is not to go home, but to go to Wuying Palace to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
I want to report something to Zhu Yuanzhang...
……
After Zhu Di left, Mei Yin sat here and meditated for a while, and then picked up a pen and paper.
Get started and do what he's supposed to do here.
This is a very important thing.
At this point, it’s time to put this matter on the agenda! !
