First Prince of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 231 Hot Pot
After Zhu Biao read out the imperial decree, he put it in Li Shanchang's hands and said: "The Grand Master does not need to leave Beijing in a hurry, and he can rest in the mansion to cultivate. It's not too late to make plans when Li Qi comes back."
Li Shanchang stood up holding the imperial decree in tears and said: "The old minister is grateful for the greatness of the emperor's grace. I just did my duty. I am ashamed to be honored so much."
Zhu Biao smiled and said a few words of comfort. Li Shanchang's current situation is not suitable for talking. Zhu Biao left after a while. Presumably there will be many people coming to see him at noon.
Although people say that tea is cold, but Li Shanchang's title of Grand Master means a lot, not to mention that he is retired, not dismissed, Hu Weiyong and other Huaixi nobles must come to congratulate him.
But this has nothing to do with Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao only wanted to go to Yu'er when he was passing by the Liubu Yamen. It would be a bit of a problem for Liu Jin to say hello to the Minister of the Ministry of War and transfer Zhang Yuan's family to the capital. It's a masterpiece.
Liu Jin went as promised, and came out soon. Naturally, there was no need for such a small matter. The car drove straight out of the city gate, and Quan Xu was already waiting here. Zhu Biao got off the car and rode on the horse. When they met the cavalry stationed outside, they gathered together and rushed to Fengyang.
After more than two days of hurried marching, we arrived at Fengyang Mansion. Zhu Xi came to meet him, and told Zhu Biao what he had done in the past few days. In fact, it was nothing. Zhu Biao had already made plans when he left. It was only a short period of time. There will be no surprises.
Zhu Biao rested for one night and took over the government affairs again the next day. As for Quan Xu, he led five hundred confidants to take over the orphans and began to select. Not everyone can do this job.
The name Zhu Biao has also been given to them. There will be no Jinyiwei tomorrow, and Zhu Biao always feels a bit mean in his heart. Although Quan Xu and the others feel that the name is not powerful and domineering enough, they dare not refute it.
Zhu Biao also took a look at it, and Quan Xu's selection method was also very simple. First, he selected the strong and strong ones.
These children have had good food in the past few months, but their bodies are much stronger than when they were begging. Jin Yiwei is not only a simple spy, but also requires force to arrest criminals in a frontal battle.
Then there is the selection of girls with outstanding looks. There is no need to say more about this. After that, it will be more complicated. It is necessary to take the postgraduate entrance examination, whether they can quickly memorize, or whether they can hide their figure as quickly as possible, or their eloquence in handling people and things. .
Many of these people are beggars, but there are quite a few articulate ones. In short, everyone has their own uses, and the same is true for those who are not outstanding in appearance but generally stupid in mind. They are trained to do logistical chores. Well, at least know the basics.
After Zhu Biao took a general look at it, he stopped taking care of it. Jinyiwei is far from being useful now, and at least it will have to wait five or six years before it can be of any use.
Unless they take over the background of the pro-military Duwei's Mansion in the future, their framework must not be usable. When Mao Xiang died, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably clean up the middle-level cadres of the Pro-Army Duwei's Mansion.
In this way, the pro-army Duwei Mansion, which has lost its high-level and middle-level troops, can be perfectly inherited by Jin Yiwei. At least up to Zhu Biao's generation, they don't have to worry too much about corruption.
Nothing happened for the next month. After Zhu Biao came back, he summoned Xu Yungong, Guo Chong, Zhu Yan and others who were scattered in various places in turn.
Fortunately, the guards wouldn't be too difficult for the dandies who worked together, otherwise they would be exhausted like this, and it would be hard for Zhu Biao to explain, after all, whether his children have been corrupted or not.
But this scared them too much. Zhu Biao passed by and took a look at them, and they rushed over to cry for their father and mother. They got up to work every day before dawn. Others kept dying, they were really scared.
Zhu Di, who is in charge here, also has a dark face. These guys eat better than corrupt officials, and they usually don't get whipped. They are all very energetic.
Zhu Biao didn't criticize him too much. They weren't criminals after all, they were just a little bit of dandies who used their father and brother's meritorious service to fight gangs in Beijing, so those who cried were taken away. If they went out, they would do their best. Just do the work, and send it back if you can't do it well.
After another half a month, the first snow fell this year. Fortunately, the work progressed smoothly, and the resettlers had shelters from the cold, and with the cotton clothes and quilts distributed by the court, they must be able to survive.
Of course, the local poor people in Fengyang also sent quilts to their homes. During this period of time, the men worked and the women sewed these things besides cooking.
The snow continued for a day and a night without stopping, the common people stopped working, and Zhu Biao was invited to Haozhou City, after all, it was not easy to live in the camp in this snowy day.
The magistrate of Fengyang gave up his mansion, and led his family to live in the mansion. Zhu Biao was not polite, and he just wanted to be promoted more in the future.
Zhu Biao was able to take a rest at this time, work and rest had ceased, and the common people were staying at home, so there were fewer things to do, and it was enough to send a few officials to watch over him. Suddenly, Zhu Biao wanted to eat hot pot.
Fortunately, there were hot pots in the Warring States period, and the historians used clay pots as pots. In the Five Dynasties, there was a five-compartment hot pot, that is, the hot pot was divided into five compartments for guests to use. By the Song Dynasty, the way of eating hot pot was very common among the people. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, government officials and celebrities hosted banquets, and hot pot was often prepared.
This thing is full of excitement, Zhu Biao simply summoned all his subordinates, Fengyang is so big, not to mention that most people followed Zhu Biao into the city.
Everyone arrived in the afternoon, and the magistrate of Fengyang personally prepared the ingredients. However, there were no vegetable greenhouses in this era, so the vegetables were a bit limited, but there was enough meat, especially lamb.
It was rare to be so happy, two more cows died in a fight in the cowshed, and Zhu Yan personally led someone to bring them back, and the back kitchen enjoyed killing sheep and cattle.
It was supposed to be eaten indoors, but Zhu Biao looked outside and said, "It's not snowing too much, why don't we eat outside."
The rest of the people responded abruptly, so they set up several large tables in the yard. Naturally, the princes had exquisite small pots in front of them, and they looked familiar. Liu Jin, who was waiting on the sidelines, was a little speechless. ?
The rest of the people were not so particular about it. As the soup in the pot started to boil when the charcoal fire was lit, the small snowflakes fell into it and disappeared in an instant. The rest of the people had already drank wine to warm up.
