This time Yun answered, but still did not answer positively: "Your brother already has a plan in his heart, and when the spring of the next year begins, his brother will choose a few places in Beijing, Kaifeng, Suzhou and other places to experiment, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Of course, Zhu Youstew was not very satisfied with Yun's answer. Although he loves opera very much, he also wants to make his rule better, and now it is not the taboo of Zhu Di's political interference with the vassal king after the successful rebellion in history. But since Yun said so, he didn't dare to ask.

Yun saw that he was not satisfied, and explained a few more words: "It's not that my brother won't tell you, but there are some things that my brother is difficult to determine now." It depends on what the ship can bring back. ”

"What ship?" Zhu Youstew looked puzzled.

Yun attached to Zhu Youstew and whispered a few words in his ear, Zhu Youstew's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "This, how can it be ......?"

"This is because my brother doesn't want everyone to know about it, and he will talk about it after returning to the capital and talking to the people who have returned, so he hasn't reported it to the mansion, so don't leak it out now." Yoon hurriedly stopped him again.

Zhu Youstew swallowed the words that had reached his mouth, and only sighed: "It's amazing!" ”

But there is nothing wonderful for Yun, he should say a few words, and said to Zhu Youzhu: "When you go to the capital during the Chinese New Year, you can also see the people who return, but don't talk about these at this time, the sky is strangely cold." It is not appropriate to have a handler to carry the goods, so you can pick a few people from your mansion and bring them back to the ship. ”

"Got it, brother." Zhu Youstew also came back to his senses, agreed, and then said: "Since it's so cold, should we go back to the house or not?" ”

"How can I go home?" Yun smiled: "At the end of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, I passed by Kaifeng because I had already entered the month of Layue, so I didn't stay long, and I couldn't go around Kaifeng City; The same is true for passing through Kaifeng at the end of May this year. Now that I finally have a time to go around Kaifeng City, how can I just go back home? ”

"What my brother said is also right, as a human king, you should be more aware of the people's feelings. The younger brother accompanied the elder brother for a walk. Zhu Youstew also smiled and agreed. The two of them were immediately escorted by the guards, and brought two more subordinates from the Zhou Palace, who were familiar with the city, and went around the city.

At this time, it is the end of November, close to the wax moon but not to the wax month, it is the most depressed time of the year, but there is no depression in Kaifeng City. Walking to the commercial area of the city, I saw that the shops and liquor shops on both sides of the road were lined up, and although the weather was very cold, countless pedestrians were still walking on the street, stopping from time to time to walk into a shop on both sides of the road to buy something for themselves or their families; Many liquor stores have a slight slit in the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing in, but just by sweeping through the gap, you can tell that many people are eating side dishes and drinking with friends.

"Sixth brother, I see that Kaifeng City is very prosperous, no worse than Suzhou." Yun walked around for a while, turned his head sideways and said to Zhu Youstew.

"Our Kaifeng is the seat of Henan Province, close to the big river, and is in the traffic artery of the north and south, if it is not prosperous, then there is no prosperous place in the world except the capital." Zhu Youstew said with a touch of pride. Although the prosperity of the city has little to do with him, since his family has been sealed, he regards himself as a Kaifeng person, and he will naturally be happy for Yun's praise.

"What you said is not right, I have also been to Guangzhou and Hangzhou, but it is still slightly stronger than Kaifeng." Yun smiled.

"But it's just about the same." Zhu Youyou stewed and said.

Zhu Youstew's words are a bit crazy, but they are also true. In this era, the Yellow River seized the Huai into the sea, and there was a canal communication left by the Mengyuan between the Jianghuai River, so that the boat could come to Kaifeng directly from the capital, and the place further west must also pass through Kaifeng, Shanxi, Hebei, and some parts of Shandong provinces are also adjacent to the Yellow River, and Kaifeng itself is also a big city with a certain economic strength, so that Kaifeng is almost the economic center and logistics distribution center in North China at this time, and it is strange that more than 15 million people in North China can not support a big city. At this time, the whole country can steadily surpass Kaifeng is the capital, Guangzhou and the newly established Bao'an City Bo Division compete with each other, Suzhou and Hangzhou and Shanghai Bo Division compete with each other, are almost the same as Kaifeng.

"What you said, it would be bad if the third brother (Yun) heard it." Yun also knew that he was telling the truth, and said it casually.

Zhu Youstew was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the guard Song Liang say: "Fifth young master, sixth young master, it's the fourth young lady and the young grandmother." ”

Yun and Zhu Youzhu hurriedly turned their heads when they heard this, and saw that Miaojin and Yunzhi were also wearing expensive leather clothes, and they were walking out of a silver building, and the female guards on both sides were carrying a few bags in their hands. Just when Yun was reminded by Song Liang to look over, Yun Zhi should have been reminded by the guards to look at them, and when she saw Yun, she immediately showed surprise on her face and walked over quickly.

"Fifth brother, sixth brother." She greeted.

"Look at the bag your guard is carrying a heavy bag, what did you buy to buy so many things?" Yun smiled.

"Fifth brother, the jewelry styles in Kaifeng City are unique, and some are not even available in the capital, so I will buy more and give them away for my own use." Yun Zhi replied

"That's not going to buy that much, is it?" Yun joked.

"How not?" Yun Zhi saw that he was joking, and calculated it: "The second sister and the third sister have to send it, especially when the second sister is getting married next year, I have to send more." ”

"A few sisters-in-law have to send it, it's not appropriate to send it, the fifth brother should beat me; My sister-in-law (Princess Baoqing) and Siqi and Min'er are also eleven or twelve years old after the New Year, and the little girl is when she likes to dress up, so she also wants to give a copy. ”

"There is also Sister Xiancai, who will come to the capital to get married next year, although she is not familiar with her, but she can't help but give a meeting gift when she meets; There are also a few cousins who get along well and want to send them. In this way, there are a lot of people, and these things may not be enough. ”

"By the way, I almost forgot about Hyun-chae." Yun Zhi remembered that he had a wedding to do next year, so he hurriedly instructed the guards beside him: "Send someone to the family immediately, in addition to Yun Lan's wedding, you have to prepare the things needed for Xiancai's wedding." "Hyun Chae is very useful to him now, and the wedding must be taken seriously. The guard received the order and left the group to pass the word.

"Fifth brother, my sister thinks that my sister-in-law must remember it, so you don't need to send someone to tell me." Yun Zhi said with a smile.

"Just you talk a lot." Yun patted her head gently.

At this time, Miaojin had already come over, and said after saluting Yun and Zhu You, "Xianggong, it's not early at this time, should I go back?" ”

"It's not dark yet, it's not too late." Yun looked up at the sky, and then said, "Even if it's late, how can you go around one more place?" Especially in an economically prosperous place like Kaifeng, of course, you have to go to the local wine shop. ”

"Your Majesty, Fifth Young Master, no. It is difficult for subordinates in a place like a wine shop to protect the safety of the young master. When Song Liang heard it, he immediately lowered his voice and said.

"Xianggong, this is not the capital, it's better to be careful." Miao Jin persuaded him.

"Fifth brother, your safety is important, if you want to eat anything, even if I don't have it at home, I can invite the cook to do it at home, it's better not to eat outside." Zhu Youstew also persuaded. In fact, he is still very confident in the management of Kaifeng, and there will be no thieves, but out of prudence, he still persuaded him not to eat outside.

Yun also felt a little Meng Lang when he heard their advice, thought about it and said, "That's it, since you all advised me not to go to the small wine shop, then I won't go." The chefs of those restaurants can indeed invite them to cook in the palace. ”

"Sixth brother, I will invite the famous chefs in Kaifeng City to your house tonight, and I want to taste their food."

Hearing this, Zhu Youstew breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The most famous chef in the city is Chef Meng from the Laiyi Building over there. Their family's Meng chef is a must for making fish, even the chefs in the palace can't compare, his father asked him to cook at home several times, and wanted to keep him in charge of the house, but he refused. My father thought that he was in Kaifeng City anyway, and if he wanted to eat the fish he made, he could call him to the house at any time, so that's it. ”

"Then I'm going to try it tonight." Yun looked at Laiyi Lou a few feet away and said with a smile.

After deciding on this matter, the group immediately set off to return to the palace. When passing over to Yilou, Zhu Youstew whispered a few words to a guard beside him, and the guard said yes and walked towards Fenglou.

"Fifth brother, I have already sent someone to instruct Chef Meng to come to the house tonight to cook fish." Zhu Youstew said to Yun again.

Yun nodded, and was about to speak, when suddenly a crisp voice came from behind him, as if someone had been slapped, and then a shout came: "You come to Yilou to see people low, don't you?" Seeing what we're wearing, I don't think we can afford to eat here! Let me see if the uncle can afford to eat! Then there was a sound of "Guroku" and "Guroku", as if something was rolling on the ground.

Yun turned his head and saw seven or eight people in cloth clothes standing at the door of the Laiyi Tower, completely blocking the door, and a figure who was about a guy on the side was leaning against the door frame with his cheeks covered, and there were several silver ingots on the ground.

"Fifty taels of silver, is it enough to have a meal here with you!" One of them said again.

Seeing that this was the case, Yun was in no mood to see it, so he turned his head and continued walking. But at this moment, Song Liang suddenly whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, we have seen these people before. ”
