Chapter 40: The willows on Xuanwu Lake are like this
"This is my new sailboat named Clipper." Zhu Cihong glanced at it with burning eyes, and said to himself: "The hollow bow can make the sailboat raise its head in the wind and waves, thereby increasing the stability of the sailboat's course in the waves and reducing the resistance of the bow." Zhu Cihong pointed to the drawings and said: "The rear of the hull should be a narrow round stern. The 3-4 meter high mast is fully equipped with sails, and the high mast is generally about three-quarters of the length of the whole ship. Moreover, the sailboat should have overhang booms on both sides, which I call wing sail bars. With the winged sail hung, the transverse size of the sail can be greatly increased, even if it exceeds the width of the sailboat! Such a sailboat can win enough profit for me. Let my overseas strategy achieve results as soon as possible! ”
Zhu Cihong said, squeezing a fist hard.
When Zhu Zhengse heard this, he nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty understands, Your Majesty knows how to do it!" Your Majesty...... You won't be disappointed! ”
Zhu Cihong patted Zhu Zhengse's shoulder and said, "This is a change that spans the times, and I will work with you." ”
After speaking, Zhu Cihong no longer lingered at the Longjiang Shipyard, quietly got into an ordinary carriage, and drove to Nanjing.
Inside the car, Zhang Zhen said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the news of Jiuqing's motion has been sent. ”
Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head.
Subsequently, one message after another recalled in Zhu Cihong's mind.
Three days ago.
Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and Ruan Dacheng met again. Not long after, a poetry meeting convened by the three of them set off a stormy storm in Nanjing.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Dacheng kept releasing news in Nanjing City, claiming that he would throw out 100,000 taels of silver to enter the Fushe. Subsidize those poor scholars to study in the imperial examination.
Along with Ruan Dacheng's actions, Zhang Pu frequently connected with the scholars. With fourteen years of hard work, most of the scholars may be because of the role of Ruan Dacheng's 100,000 taels of silver. Or because of Zhang Pu's reputation, they finally gathered on Xuanwu Lake.
……
In June of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong secretly returned to the imperial city of Nanjing.
Before Zhu Cihong's return, countless good news had already been spread in Nanjing.
Recovering Wuchang and driving Zhang Xianzhong into the mountains of Xiangxi is certainly one.
But the other one also aroused everyone's reverie. That is, Zhu Cihong suddenly became famous in Nanjing, and Zhu Cihong wanted to adjust the Nanjing institutions such as the Sixth Ministry.
Because the Ming Dynasty moved north, the Ming Dynasty actually left two sets of administrative teams.
Now, Zhu Cihong is in charge of Nanjing, and the real power around Yingtianfu is immediately consolidated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's authority is all over Jiangnan.
The most important thing is. This point, Jingshi actually recognized.
This means that the Jiangnan gentry have another opportunity for the New Year of their careers.
For a time, there was a heated discussion of this topic in the official office.
At this time, Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Pu's cruise on Xuanwu Lake became the focus of more heated discussions.
On June 13 of the 16th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, an association of the famous Xuanwu Lake Poetry Society was held on Xuanwu Lake.
At this time, it is already summer, the sky is getting late, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is a good time to go out and play.
On Xuanwu Lake, magnificent painting boats gather. The island is full of lights and candles, and there are countless tourists. Fisherwomen singing small tunes shouted to greet visitors, and dancing prostitutes leaned against the side of the boat and showed their beautiful faces and chattered. But like the yellow oriole Mingcui, Ruan Dacheng, who can see that this trip is worthwhile.
On the side, Zhang Pu, who was accompanying the guest, chuckled. While dealing with Ruan Dacheng's words, he was thinking about his whereabouts today.
His old friend Zhang Cai was even more joyful. Obviously, I was also moved by this conference.
Since the last time Zuo Liangyu was rescued, the momentum of the resumption of the society has plummeted, and there are almost signs of collapse that Zhang Cai thinks.
But Zhang Pu's decisiveness changed the situation. In one or two months, from Songjiang to Yangzhou, from Huai'an to Hangzhou, he was all over his footsteps, and finally regathered his strength, united with powerful factions like Ruan Dacheng, reconvened the conference, and showed his popularity again.
"Jizhi, let's see who's coming?" Zhang Pu came back to his senses and beckoned Ruan Dacheng to look at the path in the middle of the island, where Zhang Cai and a man and a woman were talking and laughing.
"Isn't that Mr. Yushan?" Ruan Dacheng laughed and recognized the person, this Mr. Yu Shan was Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party. Suddenly, Ruan Dacheng's gaze fell on Qian Qianyi's side and said, "Isn't the Hedongjun wearing a scarf robe over there the Red Bean Pavilion?" ”
After speaking, Ruan Dacheng retracted his gaze for a long time, and was amazed.
Liu Ru is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has already been admired by many celebrities for ten years. It's just that two years ago, Liu Ru was accepted by Qian Qianyi as a side room, raised in the red bean pavilion and gave birth to a daughter, and rarely appeared in front of people. Ruan Dacheng saw it at this moment, and naturally couldn't stop sighing.
Zhang Pu and Liu Ru are old friends, and they don't answer when they hear the words at this moment, but they just lead Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi to meet.
Looking at Qian Qianyi, who was personable and Confucian, Ruan Dacheng saluted very seriously: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, but my demeanor is still the same." ”
"It's been really hard over the years." Qian Qianyi smiled lightly, but released a false kindness.
After speaking, Ruan Dacheng and Zhang Pu greeted Liu Ru again.
This time, Zhang Pu understood that the reason why women participated in the meeting was because of the promotion of Hedongjun, who was nicknamed Liu Rushi by Qian Qianyi.
The two parties had just finished saluting, but they saw a young man next to him wearing a shirt, straight-leg pants, and a pair of strange shoes with only a few pieces of leather and extremely cool shoes striding in, and said in a loud voice: "Sell books, sell books." The Xuanwu Lake Conference Celebrity Booklet is on sale! ”
After speaking, the young man suddenly stopped here, looked at a few people, showed a white fine teeth, and said with a smile: "A few gentlemen, do you want to buy books?" See the list of scholars at the Xuanwu Lake Conference today, but are they all here? Mr. Yu Shan's secret "Beginner's Collection", Hedongjun's "Grass on the Lake", and Chen Zilong and Chen Wozi's "Huangming Jingshi Wen Compilation" are all here! ”
The corners of Zhang Pu's mouth twitched slightly, looking at such a little offspring, he couldn't get angry and had to show a helpless smile: "This little friend has worked hard, please go and see elsewhere." ”
The little boy heard this, but he didn't entangle, after his eyes swept over a few people, he took a closer look at Liu Ruyi, and after quietly touching Liu Ruyi's eyes, he didn't look back, and continued to raise a piece of paper in his hand: "Selling newspapers...... Xuanwu Lake scholars' past, poetry manuscripts, scandals and gossip, are all sold! If you don't know Jiangnan Shizi yet, hurry up and buy it......"
Behind, Liu Ru is beautiful eyes turned slightly, thinking back to Fang Cai's clear eyes with a hint of vicissitudes, and chuckled: "This little scholar, it looks refreshing." ”
