Chapter 264: Road Encounter

A group of eight of them did not drive, but rode around the streets, chatting about various topics of interest, such as kung fu and women......

Because they were all dressed in the regular clothes of the royal children, there were no ordinary people who did not open their eyes to rush against them; Hongwu Street is also very wide, and it is unlikely that there will be some accidents. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the other noble children in the past will take the initiative to lean to the side and wait for them to pass, and no one will provoke them. There was also a passing official who wanted to come up and say a few words to meet him, but they ignored it, and they didn't care about ordinary officials. However, there are exceptions.

While they were chatting about something, another convoy pulled up on the side of the road and waited for them to pass. Gao Xu and the others didn't care, they were still chatting about something; But Zhu Mengjiong's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this was the carriage of the Zheng Guo Mansion, so he stretched out his hand and dragged Yun Xi and Zhu Xianyi, and said, "Look, there is the carriage of the Zheng Guo Mansion,"

Zhu Xianhong said indifferently: "What's wrong with Zheng Guogong's mansion?" Can it be more awesome than our royalty? He inherited Zhu Rong's domineering energy, and no one cares.

Yun Xi said: "No, I have to get off the horse and visit, this is my grandfather's house." "Concubine Chang is Zhu Biao's first wife, and theoretically all of Zhu Biao's children are her children.

In history, although the Chang family had little power after Yun Wei succeeded to the throne, Yun Wei was 'very courteous' to them, and he did a lot of work on the surface.

Yun Xi dismounted and went to visit. Zhu Mengjiong saw that Yun Xi was going to visit, and he also took the opportunity to get off the horse and follow the visit, although he was older than Yun Xi.

Seeing them dismount to visit, it was not good for Gao Xu and the others to sit and wait on their horses, and they also dismounted. Even Zhu Xianhui, who has always been domineering, also got off the horse and followed, although he would not take the initiative to talk to the people of the Chang family.

Yun Xi walked to the luxurious carriage that Zhu Yuanzhang had rewarded him in front of the Chang family, and the driver of the car immediately saluted and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness!" However, although the etiquette was meticulous, there was no nervous look.

Yun Xi said to the carriage: "But Zheng Guogong is inside?" The master of Xiao Wang Mingyi Hall came to visit. "Because he doesn't have an official title, and he doesn't live outside the palace, in order not to appear high, he can only use the name of the palace he lives in.

Although Yun Xi seems to be a martial artist, his mind is much more delicate than Yun Xi.

Then the six princes except Zhu Xianyan also said that they wanted to pay a visit. They are easy to talk a lot, they all have titles, and they can call themselves with titles.

In the carriage, Chang Youfu, the second butler of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, said to Chang Jifeng: "Fourth young master, a total of seven princes have come to visit, you have to go down to meet." โ€

But Chang Jifeng said in a panic: "Can't you go out to see it?" โ€

Chang Youfu knew at a glance that Chang Jifeng had never met so many emperors and nobles at the same time before, and he was afraid to get out of the car to meet. He suddenly sighed that this young master still lacked exercise, if the eldest young master Jizong and the second young master Jiyao were here, they would definitely get off the car and talk and laugh with a few princes, that is, the third young master Jisheng and the fifth young master Jizu were also stronger than the fourth young master.

But now there is only Chang Jifeng in the main family here, and he can only say gently: "Fourth young master, you have to go out to see it, there are a few princes outside, even if a few princes don't mind, we can't let them think that our Zhengguo Mansion has no courtesy." โ€

Yu Jie, Chang Jifeng's playmate who came to Zheng Guogong's mansion these geniuses, was not as panicked as Chang Jifeng, but said very excitedly: "Lord Wang? I haven't seen the prince since I came to the capital! Then he pouted Chang Jifeng and said, "You go down and take a look, and I will follow to see if the prince is a dragon among people as the legend in the village says." โ€

As soon as Chang Jifeng heard Yu Jie's words, he temporarily forgot about his nervousness, and said with a smile: "The legend in our village is not right at all, I have seen the emperor, even the emperor is not what the villagers think, and the princes will not be like that." โ€

Yu Jie still said: "You just go down and take a look, and I'll take a look." โ€

Don't say it, Chang Jifeng still ate Yu Yu's commandment, and said: "Then I'll go down and take a look, you follow me and don't talk." โ€

Yu replied, "Got it." โ€

Chang Youfu breathed a sigh of relief: "The fourth young master can be regarded as agreeing to go out to meet a few princes. Then he took a deep look at Yu Jie, and thought to himself: "The fourth young master really listens to Yu Jie's words. โ€™

He said a few more words and got out of the car.

Several princes outside the door are waiting impatiently, even if Zheng Guogong is often promoted, he can't snub them much, right? And he is often promoted to a person on weekdays, and he is not like a person who neglects others like this.

Some people were puzzled, at this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a child who was only seven or eight years old came out of it, followed by an adult in his forties, and everyone recognized it as Chang Youfu, the second housekeeper of Zheng Guogong's mansion; As for the last person who came out, all the princes ignored it.

Chang Youfu saluted and said: "Several princes, today is the fourth young master of my family going out, and the eldest and second masters are not there. โ€

"The fourth young master of my family is still young, and he has not seen outsiders alone, if there is any offense, please forgive me."

Chang Jifeng said at this time according to Chang Youfu's instructions before: "Xiaosheng Chang Jifeng, I have seen several princes. โ€

As soon as the eight princes heard this, they knew that this was the only son of Chang Mao, the former Duke of Zheng Guo, who had recently been recovered, and had been crowned a hereditary commander by Yun Xi, and heard that Chang Sheng was better to him than his own son.

Yun Xi reacted the fastest, stepped forward and grabbed Chang Jifeng's hand and said, "It turned out to be the fourth cousin." I'll call you cousin. In the future, we will often come and go. โ€

"It's inconvenient to live in the palace now, and when I go out of the palace to build a mansion, I often find my cousin to play. My cousin taught you kung fu, even if it is not as good as the family kung fu of the Chang family, it is good to see and understand. โ€

Zhu Jiye, who was exquisite, also came up and said, "Brother Chang, I already live in Kaifu outside, you can come to play with me." Although he didn't say who he was, the people on the side were blessed to know him.

Of course, Zhu Mengjiong also came up. As for Gao Xu, he was not used to dealing with strangers, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but when he thought about what to say, he found that the words he had prepared had already been said by others, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he said a few words casually.

The other princes have not done it. After all, they are princes, even if they can't offend the Zheng Guogong Mansion. There is no need to photograph the horses of the Chang family. But they all came up and said a few words. Only Zhu Xian snorted, but he didn't say anything.

When Chang Jifeng saw so many people talking to him, he suddenly became at a loss again, and Chang Youfu forgot all the things he had taught him. Chang Youfu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

After a while of greetings, they dispersed and went their separate ways.

Chang Youfu took them back to the Zhengguo Mansion, and immediately came to see Chang Sheng, and after talking about what he did out of the mansion today, he said: "Second Master, when we came back today, we met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and the King of Gaoyang Countyใ€...... and other six royal highnesses of the county king. โ€

Chang Sheng said: "Then how do you greet them? โ€

Chang Youfu said: "Second master, it was the fourth young master who went out to greet him." โ€

Hearing this, Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Oh, Jifeng will also greet guests?" Then he said to Chang Jifeng, who was standing aside: "Yes, there is an improvement." โ€

Chang Jifeng said: "Uncle, I just said a word, and when I saw that they all came forward to talk to me, I panicked and didn't know what to do. The back is all greeted by the butler. โ€

Chang Sheng still said: "That is also improved, it should be praised." Then he said to Chang Youfu, "Reward you with a piece of silk from the palace." Then he said to the commandment: "Add you a month's money." โ€

Chang Youfu immediately knelt down and said, "Second master, the reward is too heavy, let's take it back." โ€

Chang Sheng said: "I said that rewarding you is rewarding you, just take it with peace of mind." "Blessed are you who take it. Yu Jie didn't think about prevarication at the beginning, and when he saw Chang Youfu accept it, he was thankful with peace of mind.

Chang Sheng said a few words to Chang Jifeng about his 'alone' departure today, and then asked him to step down.

When returning to the courtyard where Chang Jifeng lived, Yu Jie said to Chang Jifeng: "Your current home is really luxurious, I still want to get so many people in the family to serve, so much money will be rewarded." "He has only been in the capital for a short time, and he is not used to it.

Chang Jifeng said to him: "It is said that now my uncle and third uncle take good care of me, and my mother (Chang Mao's wife Feng) is also very good to me, as if I am her own son, and the family is dressed in fine clothes, I can't imagine such a good day when I am in the village." โ€

"But sometimes I want to go back to the village and play in the mud with my friends, get covered in mud, and then be scolded by the adults, stripped naked and thrown into the river to bathe. Sometimes I want to go back to the village. โ€

Yu Jie said: "Well, me too, I always want to play with mud, but I always don't let me, and I don't let my bare butt stay, it's really embarrassing." Yu Jie nodded vigorously, as if to tell Chang Jifeng how much he wanted to play with mud and bare ass through this.

Chang Jifeng looked at Yu Jie, a little speechless. He wanted to tell Yu Jie's mood about his feelings, but Yu Jie's could always tilt the topic in other directions, and he couldn't understand his mood at all.

But Chang Jifeng still felt that only Yu Jiejie could talk and play with him.

=======================================================

The matter of Yu admonition being rewarded spread in the Zheng Guo Mansion, which immediately caused two more people to be dissatisfied. Chang Jiyao and Chang Jisheng said: "The second uncle is too partial, Jifeng just came out to meet a few princes, and he didn't even say anything, and the second uncle actually rewarded the second housekeeper and the little scholar of Jifeng!" How can there be such a thing! โ€

Chang Jisheng also received: "That is, even if Jifeng is the only seedling of the uncle's family, he can't be so selfish." Let's talk to the eldest brother. โ€

Chang Jiyao said: "Pull it down, talk to the eldest brother, then he must say that we don't have brotherly love." He is the future Zheng Guogong, he doesn't worry about anything, and he is different from them. โ€

Chang Jisheng said: "I just don't think it's fair. Why don't you design him to be a big ugly? โ€

Chang Jiyao said: "If you are not afraid of letting your father beat your ass to pieces, you can go, but don't say that you told me." โ€

Chang Jisheng said deflated: "I'm also afraid." โ€

The brothers were relatively speechless, and they could only disperse with unwillingness.

========================================================

In the next few days, the news of the blood transfusion and liquor cleaning proposed by Yun Xi spread in the capital. Unlike what Yun Xi thought, everyone mainly focused on blood transfusions, rather than the matter of disinfection of spirits as he thought.

Yunxi later understood that at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang strictly restricted the use of grain to make wine, and everyone drank fermented wine every day, not the distilled liquor that was popular in later generations, so there were very few distilled spirits that could be regarded as spirits, and ordinary people could not afford to drink it, and it was a matter that had nothing to do with the common people like blood transfusion.

And how sensational a blood transfusion is, it is much more noticeable than the cleaning of spirits, so everyone is talking about blood transfusions.

As for the family of military generals, they are even more concerned about blood transfusion. Even if you are a general, it is inevitable that you will be injured during the battle, and you may be unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow and then bleed too much and die. If the blood transfusion really works, they will have more certainty of saving their lives in the event of a war.

Everyone is asking the doctor if it's true, but the doctors, including the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, don't know, and it's very annoying to be asked.

Someone else asked directly about Yun Xi here. In the afternoon of this day, Yun Xi finished answering the excerpts at hand, and Bai Xiguang, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, came to see Yun Xi.

After he had finished his salute, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minions have already agreed with the Ministry of Works to use their craftsmen to build rails and special carriages together with the craftsmen of the Imperial Horse Warden. โ€

"The minions are here to ask, where to start building the tracks first? Where does it lead? The minions worked with the Ministry of Works to determine where the great workshop for the construction of rails and special carriages would be built. โ€

Yun Xi said: "Did the military department say it? To build tracks along the post stations, it is most likely necessary to increase the number of post stations, and the military department cannot get around it. โ€

Bai Xiguang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minion's Imperial Horse Supervisor has never dealt with the military department before, and without His Majesty's order, it is not easy to contact the military department without authorization. โ€

Yun Xi said: "Then forget it, you don't need to deal with the military department with the Imperial Horse Supervisor." Tell the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and let the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War talk about it. โ€

Bai Xiguang said: "Yes, Your Majesty." โ€

Yun Xi continued: "As for where to cultivate? Hmmm......"

Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "The first line will start from Pukou, which is opposite the north side of the Longwan River Crossing, and extend to Fengyang. I walked along the way, there were no big rivers, lakes to avoid. โ€

"When you come across a small river, you build a bridge over it. Several prefectures along the way, as well as Chuzhou City of Zhili Jingshi, have to pass through, and the county seat is not necessary. In addition to the necessary to avoid mountains and water, try to straighten the line as much as possible, so that it can be faster. If the location of the post station is not suitable, move the post station. โ€

"Someone first explored the route from Pukou to Chuzhou City, and started construction first after the exploration was completed. When the track from Pukou to Chuzhou City was being built, someone explored the route from Chuzhou City to Fengyang City and showed it to me. โ€

What Yunxi wanted to build was the line of the later Gyeongpo Railway Line. Now it is repaired from Pukou to Fengyang, and then extended to Beiping. However, the two rivers of Huang and Huai in the middle are estimated to be unable to repair the bridge, so they can only use boats to transfer at the ferry, which is not very troublesome.

Bai Xiguang bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then seeing that Yun Xi had no more arrangements, he retreated.
