Chapter 4 Entering the city, all new things Zhu Yuanzhang got off the carriage and looked around. As far as he could see, there were golden wheat fields!

Excited.

Shiveringly, he took out a stack of cloth handkerchiefs from his arms and slowly opened the handkerchiefs. There were grains of grain seeds inside.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang held a broken bowl in his hand, joined the rebel army, overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, and reshaped the Han people. But besides the broken bowl, he also had one more thing, and that was thirteen grains of grain!

These thirteen grains of grain are the hope in his heart that they will make the fields of Ming Dynasty grow full of grain! ! Countless times, Zhu Yuanzhang saw golden fertile fields in his dreams, and today's scene is simply a dream comeback! "Sister, pinch me quickly to see if we are dreaming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly said to Queen Ma beside him.

"Chongba, it's true." Queen Ma gently pinched Zhu Yuanzhang's arm.

"pain!"

"It's true, it's true!" Zhu Yuanzhang felt the pain, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, even faintly red.

"Okay! Okay! We don't know what to say when we see this wheat field, it makes us feel better!"

"Dad, why are your eyes red?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Fart, sand got into my eyes!" Zhu Yuanzhang would not admit that he was so excited that he cried.

"Chongba, the fact that Kaiping County has such good wheat fields is inseparable from Ouyang Lun's child. Even if he made some mistakes, you still remember his merits. He is Anqing's husband. When he arrived in Kaiping County, he Don’t be impulsive!”

Queen Ma took the opportunity to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the endless golden wheat fields again, and was silent for a while, "Mao Xiang."

"Subordinates are here."

"After entering the county seat, don't go to the county government office for the time being. Let me take a look and think about it again."

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very complicated mood at the moment, but he became more and more interested in Ouyang Lun, his fourth son-in-law whom he had not seen for three years.

Hum, merit is merit, fault is fault. If you are really corrupt, perverting the law, and poisoning the people, I will definitely kill you! "Let's go to Kaiping County!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, the motorcade continued to set off.

During the march, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others also discovered a strange thing. Although the carriages, horses, and pedestrians were all walking on the same avenue, they always kept the carriages and horses in the middle and the pedestrians on both sides. Moreover, the carriages and horses were heading towards Kaiping County. They all keep to the right. Cars and horses leaving Kaiping County all keep to the left. Very few people will break this rule. If there are cars and horses that don't do this, a policeman on horseback will soon come forward to remind Zhu Yuanzhang and his team. I was reminded twice. The first time was just a reminder, and the second time I was fined [-] yuan!

Another way to make money! ! Zhu Yuanzhang silently made a note of Ouyang Lun in his heart.

The road was flat, wide and smooth, and the ordinary carriage ran at a speed far exceeding the usual limit. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang's family of four were a little worried, but after getting used to it, they completely enjoyed it.

soon.

The motorcade arrived at the gate of Kaiping County.

"Wow--!"

When Zhu Di saw the appearance of Kaiping County, he seemed to have seen the New World.

It's not that the city walls and gates of Kaiping County are so grand, but the scrolls hanging on the walls are bright in color and made of fine fabrics.

"Here is a paradise to seek, and it is here to invest and buy a house - Kaiping County Science City Shengming Garden Real Estate Announcement."

In addition to the slogans, the picture scroll shows the appearance of the Shengming Garden real estate, with neat, uniform houses and wide roads. Just one look at it makes people want to own such a house.

"If you love her, treat her to Kaiping juice - Kaiping Juice Store announces." The picture shows a beautiful woman holding a glass of juice with a happy smile.

In addition, there are also "Shenbao tastes great! Oh yeah!" "Master Kong instant noodles are so delicious!" "Maotai, the national wine, the best jade liquid!" "Five-star hotel, Emperor First class enjoyment - Kaiping Hotel.”

"Dad, that Maotai seems to be the one we drank from!"

Zhu Di said excitedly.

"It's true, it turns out you don't have to go to the winery, you can go directly to the store to buy it!" Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Dad, the fourth child and I will go buy wine for you later."

"Yeah." Zhu Yuanzhang licked his lips. The taste of the wine is still lingering in his mind.

"Let's go into the city!" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impatient.

After entering the county seat, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party were completely shocked by what they saw.

Looking at the smooth and lively streets, everyone has a happy smile on their face, and these people are also cleanly dressed. Is this still a small border county?This is obviously the most prosperous county in Yangzhou! Zhu Yuanzhang had the illusion that he had entered another world, a world he longed for.

"Sister, if Zhu Chongba could have lived in Kaiping County back then, maybe there would be no Zhu Yuanzhang today." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and muttered.

Empress Ma smiled and nodded, "Chongba, maybe you really misunderstood Ouyang Lun."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer. He decided to conduct a thorough investigation and consolidate the evidence. Only in this way can he determine whether Ouyang Lun was a corrupt official.

"Let's go shopping first."

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and started walking.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to the Kaiping Juice Shop and bought Empress Ma a glass of peach juice. The peach juice was extremely delicious. At the same time, they were also attracted by the juice extraction equipment in the store. It was made of mahogany and shaped like an ordinary bench. The surface of the bench was slightly tilted towards the front for juicing. The part is round, and the circumference is the juice trough. There is an eagle's peck-shaped outlet at the front end of the stool. The outlet has a groove that is connected to the circular juice trough. There is a circular juice squeezing plate on it that matches the circular juice trough. The squeezing plate There are pressing rods connected at both ends. The round pressing plate and pressing rod are mostly carved from a piece of hardwood. One end is shorter and can be inserted into the rungs of the pressing frame on the pressing bench. The other end is longer. After peeling and pitting peaches and other fruits, , press the rod down hard, and juice will flow out after a while.

In a moment, a glass of freshly squeezed juice comes out.

Observing the production process, Zhu Yuanzhang and others applauded.

In addition to juice, Zhu Yuanzhang and others also ate a lot of snacks. Storytelling and juggling on the street made the whole family linger.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and his family were tired from shopping, a strong man appeared in front of the family pulling a two-wheeled vehicle, "Boss, do you need a car? I can take you anywhere as long as it is within the county town!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this two-wheeled vehicle. It was smaller than a carriage. It could only seat two people. It was not covered and had an excellent view. It was pulled by people instead of oxen, horses and donkeys.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in new things and said with a smile: "There are four of us. You can't fit in this car."

"Don't worry, boss, I still have companions." After saying that, the strong man's driver whistled, and another two-wheeled vehicle came immediately.

Ho! This is still a business!

"My sister and I are in the same car."

"Biao'er and Di'er, you two are in a car, and the others will follow."

After making arrangements, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma got on the two-wheeled vehicle.

"Boss, please sit down and let's get started."

On the way, Zhu Yuanzhang started chatting with the strong man coachman. (End of this chapter)
