Zhu Houzhao fiddled with the golden rice cake, which was his name.

Lift the knife, cut it into small pieces, and place it in a dustpan.

Yan Chengjin and Emperor Hongzhi came over and saw a scholar beside him crying with a bite of rice cake.

Is this too delicious?

You won't cry like this.

"How do you sell these rice flowers?" Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little teasing.

ah…

How come you sound like your father?

When Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi behind the crowd, she was stunned and showed a little cunning in horror.

Yan Chengjin knew as soon as he looked at the little look, Zhu Houzhao was thinking about something.

The scholar beside him kindly reminded: "Ten taels of silver per piece, Xiao Zhu Xiucai said that this golden rice cake is bright, refreshing and prolonging life. He can win the imperial examination after eating it. The scholar accidentally took a bite and couldn't afford the money, so he cried like this."

Emperor Hongzhi almost jumped up. He suppressed the anger in his heart. This evil son was like a fisherman in this place.

Li Dongyang and others shook their heads and sighed, "It's just that the prince did not misunderstand the right job, but he even went here to cheat."

Yan Chengjin's eyes lit up. Zhu Houzhao is really a "talent". The good rice flowers are made into a cake!

I saw that there were many candied fruits and nuts on these rice flowers.

There are local specialties tributes from various countries and regions in the palace, that is, tributes. He has seen mixed foods such as almonds and walnuts in the main hall of the East Palace.

"Give me a try, I want to see if it's so magical!" Emperor Hongzhi said coldly. He showed a murderous gaze and sneered, making Zhu Houzhao's hair shrink.

Zhu Houzhao's hands were trembling, "How much money do you want?"

Emperor Hongzhi's face became more and more gloomy. Do you still want to accept my money?

For the harmony of the imperial family, Yan Chengjin explained: "Your Majesty, this cake is calculated based on money."

"It's just a dozen taels."

Zhu Houzhao put down the knife, picked up a piece and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi. Xiao Jing hurriedly took it over and tasted it first.

"You know what the charge is to raise prices?"

For Zhu Houzhao, he would be a whip if he committed anything, so he would naturally not read the Ming Dynasty law.

"I don't know." Zhu Houzhao said with her neck, "There are many precious candied fruits and nuts in this golden rice cake, which is not expensive to sell for ten taels of silver."

Xiao Jing tried to confirm that it was not poisonous before handing it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi took a bite, and with a click, he chewed it gently, first with a faint sweetness, and then with soft candied fruit, then with crisp almonds.

The taste is really delicious.

The scholar beside him watched Emperor Hongzhi take such a big bite and worry about him.

"How? Didn't you lie to me!" Zhu Houzhao was a little proud.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with great interest and said, "Rice cake is real rice cake, delicious, but you really deserve to beat it!"

Three Jinyiwei in plain clothes stepped forward and arrested Zhu Houzhao.

Although Zhu Houzhao was a fool, he came to the library more often, and many people knew him, and even admired his talent.

The scholar who was familiar with Zhu Houzhao on the side quickly stopped him: "Who are you? You dare to pick people up on your own, and you are not afraid of us reporting to the officials!"

"Keep calm, don't panic, he is my father..." Zhu Houzhao was afraid that these fools would beat Emperor Hongzhi and was charged with beheading.

After being in the library for a long time, he had some friendship with the scholars here, so he naturally didn't want to see them in trouble.

Even if the Jinyiwei arrests people, even if they are released, they will be criticized by others and their reputation will be ruined.

Zhu Houzhao was obediently tied up by the Jinyiwei, and was taken to Emperor Hongzhi's carriage, and the golden cake was taken away.

"My son knows that he is wrong and will never come to Liangxiang again in the future."

In the carriage, Zhu Houzhao knelt obediently in front of Emperor Hongzhi's knees, admitting his mistakes with sincerity and dared not look at Emperor Hongzhi's face.

The distance is too close, and the father can call him with just a raising his hand.

Yan Chengjin, who was standing beside him, was in a miserable state. There was suddenly an extra person in the carriage, and he wanted to leave a kneeling position for Zhu Houzhao.

He could only squeeze to the side.

Li Dongyang was with him and did not dare to persuade Emperor Hongzhi. Your Highness’s actions today were too common.

Emperor Hongzhi ate the golden rice cake, "Go back to the palace and send some to Renshou Palace and Kunning Palace. Forget it, this thing is too hard and the empress dowager's teeth are not good, so I'll send it to Kunning Palace."

"The father will not punish my sons?" Zhu Houzhao was suspicious.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "Just kneel down to the capital."

The carriage is bumpy and undulating, just like squatting on a train, which is very testing people's skills.

Yan Chengjin felt a little sorry for Zhu Houzhao.

The floor was hard and the carriage was shaking. Zhu Houzhao grinned in pain in a short while and held Emperor Hongzhi's knee.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's face was wrong, he retracted his hand like lightning.

"If it hurts, get up and sit down." Emperor Hongzhi wrote lightly.

Zhu Houzhao's sad face suddenly smiled and said happily: "Old Gao, please let me go, I want to sit here."

"Your Majesty, I will feel motion sick when I stand up." Yan Chengjin said deeply.

Seeing that Yan Chengjin was in a state of disgust, Emperor Hongzhi said to Zhu Houzhao: "It is already kind to let you sit there. You have to kneel down later, just sit on the ground."

Zhu Houzhao had a dark face and had deep doubts about the relationship between plastic father and son.

Emperor Hongzhi lifted the curtain, looked at the green mountains outside the window, and asked, "Yan Qing's family, what are planted on the mountains?"

"Report to Your Majesty, that's corn." Yan Chengjin looked out of the curtain of the car: "Speaking of it, it can be picked, dried and grind into powder, and then sent to the palace.

If the quantity is too high this year, the price of corn will be much cheaper.”

Emperor Hongzhi thought: "After building the Great Wall in the northwest, can we plant corn? But I heard that Hetao is desolate and difficult to cultivate."

"If it were in the past, it was true, but now there are more oxen and more iron tools, and corn can be cultivated on dry land.

As long as you resist the invasion of the confined captives, you will have such a scene." Yan Chengjin said.

Li Dongyang said: "This corn is really a good thing to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of refugees in Jingxiang."

"I think that the northwest is desolate, and the chamber of commerce in Liangxiang will be more prosperous." Yan Chengjin said.

If the Great Wall is built for a few years or more, as long as more than ten years, refugees will settle down in the northwest.

If the environment in the northwest is improved.

The refugees will not run away.

"Do you still want to talk about the concrete workshop?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

"Your Majesty is wise. Even if you don't hand it over to Liangxiang's workshop, others may not be able to do it. In the whole world, only Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce has engineers."

Although the formula of concrete is written on Song’s Tiangong.

But the only people who can really do it are Song Jing and Liangxiang engineers.

In other words, the technology is still in the hands of Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce.

"I have been sure to build a concrete workshop in Hetao and build the Great Wall, but the court will not spend money." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Yan Chengjin was overjoyed: "Thank you for your grace!"

The northwest is rich in limestone and kaolin, and it is enough to build the Great Wall.

Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is still very weak. With the commercial territory of civil engineering, it has more advantages than Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants.

"There are a million refugees in Jingxiang. The question is how to transfer them to Hetao?" Li Dongyang said: "The vassal kings are still disturbing the people, and there are millions of refugees. How should they be placed in the northwest?"

The refugees were vulgar and barbaric. The migration of millions of refugees who were guarding Jingxiang would require at least a large army of ten thousand people.

"It would be better to let Zhang Xian do it. Zhang Xian has placed refugees from Shuntian Prefecture and he will lead him." Yan Chengjin said.

"Wouldn't the magistrate of Liangxiang change people?"

Liangxiang was a righteous bird from the Ming Dynasty. His status was comparable to that of the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture in the future. This position would be preserved for Zhang Xian.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty is too worried. Liangxiang is now in a prosperous scene. There is no need for excessive supervision. Zhang Xian went to relocate refugees and could rush back to Liangxiang in two months."

"Zhang Xian is a straightforward person and has also placed refugees from Liangxiang. He is a good candidate." Li Dongyang also thought Zhang Xian was suitable.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Then order Zhang Xian to be the imperial envoy and go to Jingxiang to move refugees."

Zhu Houzhao lowered her head and her eyes moved slightly.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xian is his to be decided warrior, and he will soon forget this person if he doesn't mention it.

This guy, Lao Gao, suddenly arranged Zhang Xian.

"Two million taels of silver are not a small amount, and one person needs to supervise it. Can the Sili Supervisor have a suitable candidate?"

Emperor Hongzhi's voice increased a little, so that Xiao Jing, who was sitting outside, could hear it.

"Report to your Majesty, I have a big house under my command, named Xu Kun, which is very suitable."

Yan Chengjin said, "There is one person that is more suitable for me, and the Censor Fang Xue."

"Then let Fang Xue supervise."

It takes an hour to get from Liangxiang to the capital even if it is a carriage.

Emperor Hongzhi picked up another piece and chewed it and creaked, "Who taught you how to make this golden rice cake?"

"Old Gao."
