Chapter 73 Zhu Biao: I’m really tired for the old Zhu family! (Please subscribe!!) Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are already veterans of private interviews in private.
The imperial edict was issued, indicating that in order to cultivate the prince's ability to govern, the prince was specially allowed to supervise the country's ritual affairs, and all matters were handed over to the prince.
At the same time, he said hello to Prince Zhu Biao, and then Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife took a carriage and set off towards Yong'an Mansion under the protection of the Jinyi Guards led by Jiang Wei.
Zhu Biao felt helpless that his parents had left such a large court to him. However, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son. He worked hard and never complained, and constantly comforted himself. He should just let his parents go out for an outing to relax.
My parents love to play, my brothers are more naughty than the others, and my brothers-in-law are unreliable. I am really tired for the sake of Lao Zhu’s family!
Zhu Biao stood on the wall of the palace, holding one hand behind his back and looking at the bustling city of Nanjing, frowning slightly. Thirteen days later.
As the county roads in Yong'an Prefecture were gradually completed and the roads were smooth, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party arrived in Funing County two days early this time!
"Chongba, wake up! We have arrived at Funing County, do you want to come down and take a walk! Take a look!"
Queen Ma gently shook Zhu Yuanzhang who was lying in her arms.
When he came to Yong'an Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang had to drink "Maotai" first.
"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, his face was rosy and his expression was still a little confused, "Of course I want to see it. This is our first time in Funing County. This time we want to see how Ouyang Lun manages Funing County. What's going on?"
After saying that, he staggered down from the carriage.
Empress Ma had no choice but to get out of the car and help her.
As soon as he got off the car, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. Looking at the main road where eight carriages could run side by side at the same time, and the well-proportioned shops on both sides of the street, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes, "Sister, you must be lying to us, are we not out at all?" Capital?"
“Only the capital city in the world has such a wide road!”
"Although Funing County is where Yong'an Prefecture is located, how could there be such a big street!"
"Look at the cars and horses coming and going, they look exactly like the capital. We must still be in the capital."
Empress Ma didn't bother to explain. She turned around with Zhu Yuanzhang and pointed at the plaque on the city gate, "Chongba, you should know those two characters."
"Funing." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately woke up and said, "Good boy! Funing County is really governed by the Yong'an Prefecture here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, observed carefully, and muttered: "Apart from the fact that the city wall is not as tall and thick as the capital, the buildings in the city are taller and more luxurious than the capital!"
At a glance, you can easily see several tall buildings with more than five floors.
Empress Ma was also a little surprised and said: "When I came last year, many places in Funing County were still under construction. Now, only a few months have passed, and everything has been repaired. It is spacious, lively, clean and tidy!!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed in the distance and exclaimed: "What is that?"
Empress Ma looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Yuanzhang and saw a huge carriage. The carriage was five meters long and was pulled by eight horses. It would stop every step of the way, and then she saw someone coming from the carriage. Going up and down, someone else boarded the carriage.
"I don't know about that either." Queen Ma shook her head.
At this time, a passing citizen seemed to have heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question and took the initiative to explain: "It's called a 'bus'. You only need one copper coin to ride on it. You can take the bus at the stop and get off by yourself when you get to the place you want." That's good, but the 'buses' only run in the city. If you go out of the city to the countryside or to neighboring counties, you have to go to the transportation station. There is one in the east and west of the city."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a "bumpkin" look, and then left coolly.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable. He was a majestic emperor who came from the capital, but he was treated as a bumpkin! ? "Isn't it just a carriage that everyone can ride on? We can get one when we return to the capital!"
"Gorgeous."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate.
Ding ding - Just as he was talking, a "bus" actually stopped in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
It turns out that there is a "bus" stop in front of them.
People had already lined up at the site. As the "bus" stopped, the people in line boarded the carriage from the front door, and the people on the bus also got off the back door in an orderly manner.
Seeing such an orderly scene, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Sister, why don't we go sit down too?"
"it is good!"
Then the couple stepped forward, followed suit, boarded the "bus", and put a copper coin into a wooden box. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't carry any money with him, but at the critical moment, Empress Ma paid for it. I took out two copper coins and put them in to avoid an embarrassment.
Although Jiang Wei and other Jin Yiwei also lined up behind them, the carriage was already full when they arrived, so the driver of the carriage asked Jiang Wei and others to sit down next to them.
Jiang Wei and others were worried about the safety of the emperor and empress. They dared to wait for the next bus and hurriedly ran behind the "bus".
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma got on the bus, they saw many fixed chairs neatly arranged in the car. However, these chairs were already full of people, so they could only stand holding on to the armrests.
The "bus" is not fast, but it is very stable. There are many windows on the bus. Most of these windows are open. Zhu Yuanzhang can observe the scenery along the street through the windows, making people unknowingly immersed in the prosperity of this town. among.
ding ding-
"The food court is here! Passengers who want to taste delicious food can get off here."
The "bus" stopped, and the driver rang the bell on the bus and spoke loudly.
food street. Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed his nose and smelled the fragrance in the air. The shouts of traders were even heard.
"Emerald White Jade Soup, the emerald cabbage soup that even Emperor Zhu liked to eat!!"
"Shaobing. Shaobing is so delicious!"
“Sheep kebabs.”
Jade cabbage soup and sesame seed cakes! !Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore.
"Sister, let's go to the food court!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Food is the most important thing for the people. Just look at what the people eat and what the price is, and you will know how the people's livelihood here is."
Get off the "bus".
The two of them only need to walk two steps to reach the entrance of the food court.
Watching the "bus" load up with passengers again and leave, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought, and soon murmured, "Although this bus only charges one penny per person, it is such a constant transport. Assuming that it only transports 1000 people every day, then there is no need." With regular money, you have to have [-] guan in a month, and [-] to [-] guan in a year! It’s quite profitable.”
Queen Ma shook her head, "This 'bus' probably won't make any money, and it will have to lose money."
Um! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.
Queen Ma explained: "Chongba, that's eight horses. How much does it cost just to raise horses? Have you calculated it?"
