Chapter 6 Passing by

Zhu Yuanzhang beamed with joy after hearing this.

"Okay, that's the right thing to think about. Only by caring about the people of the world can you be a qualified prince, okay!"

Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief, saying the word "Crown Prince" from his grandfather's mouth was a great affirmation for himself.

Fortunately, Uncle Twenty has not endangered his position so far.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got on the carriage, Zhu Yunwen got on the horse, and everyone continued on their way.

We finally arrived at Kaiyuan City as the sun set.

When we entered Kaiyuan City, it was not as brightly lit as Yingtian Mansion.

The most popular restaurants and restaurants on the main street are shops selling mountain products. They are not as luxurious as some places in the south, and there are fewer entertainment venues.

But the people on the street were all glowing.

Darling, on this journey north, the people in the north have suffered from years of war, and the food at home is barely enough to fill their stomachs.

But the people here are completely different. There are so many "beautiful and beautiful" people on the street. How can you not be amazed? This life is so good!

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen discovered that there was also a cavalry team ahead.

Isn't the man at the front of the cavalry holding a bow his own 20th uncle Zhu Song?

This looks like they have just returned from hunting, and behind everyone there is one or two prey hanging, and there are countless small ones like little rabbits.

Zhu Yunwen didn't want to reveal his identity, let alone his grandfather's identity, so he lowered his head and refused to look at Zhu Song.

And Zhu Song indeed did not discover Zhu Yunwen, because he had not seen Zhu Yunwen since he traveled through time, and he was sent to Liaodong to join the feudal clan with a memorial.

Let alone Zhu Yunwen, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Song have never met him.

Because it was raining continuously on the day when the memorial was presented, the hall was also dark. Even with the lights on, Zhu Song was kneeling far away and could not clearly see his father's face.

However, this motorcade still attracted Zhu Song's attention, especially the carriage that Zhu Yuanzhang rode, which was almost the most luxurious and most compliant carriage that the Ming Dynasty could make.

The imperial court had rules that ordinary people could not drive a carriage with more than two horses, so most of the carriages on the road were pulled by one horse.

However, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were very small, and they generally could not use such a good carriage for traveling.

So judging from the luxurious carriage and horse, this is probably a wealthy businessman.

Another wealthy businessman came to Kaiyuan, but unfortunately, these people were not Hu merchants. They were probably wealthy businessmen somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Song didn't think much, he just remembered that there was a wealthy businessman in Kaiyuan, and then returned to the palace with his men.

Zhu Yunwen drove his horse to the side of his grandfather's carriage.

"Grandpa, I saw Uncle Twenty just now. Uncle Twenty didn't recognize me."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the curtain of the carriage.

"You hadn't grown up when he left. Now that you have grown up, you will naturally have some changes. It's fair for him not to recognize you."

"What did this kid do just now?"

After Zhu Yunwen stopped, he recalled the scene just now in his mind, and felt that Uncle Twenty was very proficient in bowing and horsemanship. If he said so, I am afraid that the emperor's grandfather liked Uncle Twenty more.

Zhu Yunzhen rolled his eyes and changed his explanation.

"Grandpa, Uncle Twenty must have just returned from hunting. It seems that there are a lot of people. Riding an eagle and leading a dog is very extravagant!"

Zhu Yunwen thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be a little unhappy, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang laughed after hearing this.

"It's quite normal. Liaodong is originally a place where Han people, Jurchens, and Can Yuan live together. Can Yuan grazes and the Jurchens hunt. If he goes out to hunt by himself, it can be regarded as adding food to himself, and it is not extravagant."

"Grandpa is absolutely right. Grandpa, let's go tonight, or should we stay one night?"

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered the curtain.

"Find an inn to rest for a while. Don't alert the officials in Kaiyuan!"

"yes!"

It is said that after Zhu Song returned to the palace, he handed over the prey he had caught to the kitchen for cooking and roasting.

Behind Zhu Song followed a man who looked like an iron tower. The man carried at least four deer on his back and handed them to the kitchen.

"My lord, you are so powerful. You shot so many deer at once. I can't do it. My bow breaks as soon as I pull it!"

Zhu Song laughed after hearing this. The iron tower-like man behind him was Zhang Tiezhu, the general he had recruited in Liaodong.

This guy is a standard Shandong man, and he joined the army when he came to Liaodong.

At the beginning, when Zhu Song arrived in Liaodong, he was the one who organized and directed the most numerous counterattacks against the remnants of Oara soldiers.

However, this Tiezhu usually has a straightforward temper and doesn't know how to turn around when speaking. Zhu Song actually likes his temperament, especially since this guy is willing to fight without his life, but he is a powerful general under his command.

"Your big hands need a special bow to match you! After a while, I will ask the craftsmen in the army to make a special big bow for you so that you can shoot well!"

Zhang Tiezhu laughed after hearing this. His beard stood up like needles, and his face was dark, so his teeth appeared white.

"Thank you for your humble position, Your Majesty!"

"Stay and eat, don't leave!"

The servants of the palace began to be busy. Zhu Song specially built a barbecue grill in order to test some large prey, such as roasting whole lamb and roasting suckling pig.

After a while, Cao Qinghe also rushed over. The three of them gathered around the bonfire, and a servant kept shaking the barbecue grill.

Zhu Song said to Lao Cao: "Did a group of people come to Kaiyuan today?"

Cao Qinghe nodded: "Yes, a group of people did come. They looked like wealthy businessmen from a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. How did the prince know?"

Zhu Song chuckled.

"I happened to meet him when I was returning to the city. Why would a wealthy businessman of this level come to Liaodong for nothing? Is it to do business, but isn't this span too far?"

"Is it possible that the news that this king likes to collect rare objects has spread to the pass so quickly? This is not a good sign."

The venison was not yet roasted, so Zhang Tiezhu took a sip of wine.

"Your Majesty, maybe this businessman went to the north to do business. Occasionally I heard the news in the north that the prince likes to collect treasures, so he came to us."

"Since he dared to come, he must have brought a lot of treasures with him!"

Cao Qinghe nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, General Zhang is right. Maybe this wealthy businessman didn't know about it until he got to the pass."

Zhu Song smiled after hearing this: "Maybe I really think too much, but I must keep an eye on it recently, I always feel like something is going to happen."

Cao Qinghe and Zhang Tiezhu looked at each other after hearing this.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Song looked at the two of them and laughed.
