Zhu Gaoxu thought of the pair of jade jade bracelets, which were smooth and finely processed, and felt that the Shen family could easily find some skilled craftsmen. It would probably be easier if the Shen family was responsible for the mining.
He wrote a letter to the Shen Mansion, proposing that the Han Palace send sergeants to guard the mine, and that Shen Xu's people would be responsible for the mining; and asked her what she wanted.
Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu came to the study and took out Shen Xu's reply from the envelope. He unfolded it and saw several neat lines of regular characters.
The content of the writing is probably that there was an actor named Li Louxian under the Shen Xu family, who contributed a lot to the Shen family. Li Lou first hoped to have the opportunity to drink with the King of Han, and asked the King of Han if he could agree to this.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused after reading it. He knew Li Louxian, the leading ac
As long as it is sunny in Yunnan, the sky is blue and white clouds.Zhu Gaoxu packed up early in the morning and walked to the gate of Chengyun in his tight military uniform. As usual, he first ran with the soldiers.Princess Guo Yan and a group of women walked to the gatehouse of Chengyun Gate, and they all knelt down to see Zhu Gaoxu off."No thanks." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand. His eyes lingered on Yao Ji's face for a moment, and he couldn't help thinking: In terms of beauty, apart from Miao Jin, no one can compare with Yao Ji.Under the morning sun on a sunny day, her face was faintly glowing with youth, very gorgeous and dazzling. She seemed to have noticed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, and raised her head calmly, meeting his eyes.Zhu Gaoxu quickly avoided Yao Ji's bright eyes and only said one sentence to Guo Wei, "You all should go back. When the princess returns to the palace, please walk slowly."Guo Wei thanked them. When Zhu Gaoxu turned arou
Wherever the Han people go to a place, they will definitely open a restaurant.Zhao Ping arrived in Mengyang with 150 Ming soldiers, as well as hundreds of merchants and prisoners with minor crimes. It had only been two months since he arrived. On the simple streets of the village, more than a dozen food and wine shops had opened. In addition, grocery stores, drug stores, iron shops, etc. also opened one after another.When everyone first arrived at the mine, there were very few local people in the nearby villages, and those who could run away had all fled. Everyone's food and fodder could only be supplied by the Mengyang Xuanweishisi, and they used silver to buy Sijia's food at a high price.But soon, the natives found that the Ming army had strict discipline and did not plunder, and soon many locals appeared near the garrison village. In less than a month, the natives continuously sent the supplies everyone needed... Of course, they didn't give them away f
The village was peaceful and cozy, with the sun shining on the newly built wide-eaved wooden houses, creating a unique scene. The air was filled with the sound of knocking, mixed with the shouting of vendors. However, the weather in Mengyang was unpredictable; a sunny morning could suddenly bring a rainstorm.There was no sudden rain today, but there was a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds.A soldier on horseback was riding on the street. When he saw Zhao Ping and his men, he dismounted and clasped his fists, saying, "Captain Zhao, the scouts came to the camp to report that many natives were digging a mine behind the mountain where the mine was located!"Zhao Ping frowned, remembering what the King of Han had told him to do, and immediately said, "Pass on my order, gather the brothers in the camp immediately.""Understood!" said the soldier, clasping his fists.Zhao Ping turned to Diao Ya and said, "We can handle the handover of official docum
The bushes in the valley were filled with the roar of elephants. The sound came from the elephants' trunks, as loud as a horn. The heavy elephant feet stepped on the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble. Many native soldiers and dozens of elephants came out of the mountains and forests one after another!"Woo!" An elephant let out a long roar and pulled up a bush by its roots with its trunk. Many soldiers with swords and guns rushed out of the valley around it....Zhao Ping stood on the rammed earth wall of the East Village Gate, looking at the rolling hills and forests in the distance, then turned to Xu Caiqi and said, "I'm afraid we can't hold this place for long. Manager Xu, take some people with you and leave quickly. You can take the road to the south, then turn east, and maybe you can escape to Tengchong Qianhu."Just now, Xu Caiqi heard the military situation reported by the scouts with his own ears. After a moment's silence, he clasped his fists a
In the study of the Han Palace, Xu Cailiu, the owner of the opera house, burst into tears. He sighed and choked up, "I have a younger brother who doesn't even have a wife. I don't know how to explain to my old mother when I see her in the future. When he wanted to go, I tried to dissuade him, but I really didn't expect that the chieftain of Mengyang would be so bloodthirsty and rude..."Zhu Gaoxu listened to his crying patiently, and then asked, "The jade mine supply in Mengyang was interrupted. How much did the Shen family lose?"Xu Cailiu still had tears on his face, but he answered fluently, "Many people died in the mine, and the Shen family must sympathize and comfort them. The money we invested in mining for half a year will also be wasted. In addition, the warehouses and workshops built in Tengchong Qianhu Suo and Yongchang Prefecture are vacant, and the hired labor and purchased mules and horses are no longer needed.At the beginning of this year, my
When the Prince of Han summoned the envoy of the Si family, officials such as Cao Long, the commander-in-chief, and Zhao Nan, the right counselor of the Provincial Administration, also participated. When leaving the Prince of Han's mansion, Zhu Gaoxu casually asked his attendant Duan Xuehen to see him off.Several people came to the Duanli Gate Tower, and Cao Long clasped his fists and said, "Miss Duan, please stay."Duan Xuehen was a little surprised after hearing this. She almost never said a word in front of others, and she was just a decoration standing in the hall, but how did this official know her name? After a moment, Duan Xuehen remembered that when the King of Han ordered her to see the guest off, he gently called her name.Duan Xue thought angrily: These officials not only have sharp ears, but also good memories.But the performance of the Chief Secretary Zhao made Duan Xuehen feel even more surprised. Zhao bent over and said in a flattering
Several military generals in the study were laughing happily, and Zhu Gaoxu also smiled in response.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu understood a truth even more: even if they were brothers who shared life and death, their moods would be completely different as long as their positions were different... Of course, the generals could laugh, because as long as there were battles to fight, there would be military merits! But Zhu Gaoxu had to consider another thing, money and food.When it comes to money, no one is friendly to each other.On the Yunnan government side, when the issue of using military force against Mengyangsi was mentioned a few days ago, the commander-in-chief Cao Long was respectful and silent, which shows his attitude.Two years ago, Zhu Gaoxu brought tens of thousands of people to Yunnan Province. The prince's expenses were of course borne by the imperial treasury. But the court's practice was to pass the burden on to the three Yunnan officials
Opera singers don’t need to have good skin. They wear heavy makeup anyway when they go on stage. But you have to have a good voice and expressive eyes.The private room was not big. After Li Louxian sat down nearby, Zhu Gaoxu saw clearly that her skin was a bit dull and indeed not white and tender. No wonder she had to risk her life by taking arsenic.Li Louxian was very famous in Fucheng, Yunnan, but Zhu Gaoxu had never met her before, and for a moment I didn't know what to say. Fortunately, she took the initiative to talk and the atmosphere didn't seem so awkward.Although it was daytime, the light in the theater was not very bright. In this slightly dimmed pavilion room, the slight flaws on the actors' faces were concealed. Listening to Li Louxian's gentle words, Zhu Gaoxu gradually felt comfortable.No one knew how they got to talking about the profession of actors. Li Louxian said in a high-pitched voice, "The better ones are favored by the head o
