Chapter 480 The auspicious beast Qilin In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he imagined that the people of the Ming Dynasty would be able to eat cheap white sugar in the future. But he asked the ministers: "This is the first revenue of the White Sugar Factory. Do any of you ministers want to share the dividends?" As soon as these words came out, the court became lively again. Although the amount of money is not large, it represents the industry they invested in. It finally started functioning normally. Although I don’t know what the net profit is after deducting the cost of more than 50,000 taels of silver. However, it is a happy event for the courtiers who bought the shares to see the money back. However, no one wants Zhu Yuanzhang's dividends. Instead, he persuaded: "Your Majesty, in the early days of the establishment of the White Sugar Factory, money will be spent on all aspects." "I suggest you keep the money to continue producing white sugar, lest the production cannot keep up with the market in the future."

The courtiers who usually like white sugar know that this stuff is easy to sell in the Ming Dynasty. So no one is short-sighted and only thinks about those meager dividends. Instead, I still want to invest money in it, trying to get the White Sugar Factory back on track as soon as possible. In this way, Fu Youwen doesn't have to worry about whether the money is stored in the household department or the internal treasury. And after talking about the White Sugar Factory. Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, who was wearing a red robe, asked Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, Duke Xin's fleet to Nanyang is about to return to Yingtian, and according to the official report from the Ministry of Rites that greeted the auspiciousness, the auspiciousness sent by the barbarian country of Nanyang, It seems to be Qilin among the four mythical beasts.” "I dare to ask Your Majesty, on the day when Duke Xin returns, will he organize civil and military officials and the people of Yingtian Mansion to pay homage to this ancient auspiciousness that has come to our Ming Dynasty?" As the word Qilin fell, the courtiers fell into a brief silence. Although the great scholar Liu Sanwu had already said before that Xin Guogongtang and his trip to Nanyang would bring back auspiciousness. However, because the person who communicated the message did not explain it clearly, although the ministers were excited, they forgot about it after the court. But after the people sent by the Ministry of Rites to greet the fleet recognized Xiangrui's identity, everyone became uncontrollably excited. "Your Majesty, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no record of Qilin appearing in our land of China. If the envoy from the barbarian country sends Qilin, it means that our Ming Dynasty has entered a prosperous age unprecedented in ancient times." "I also ask your majesty to take Qilin to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. I have informed heaven and earth." Although I had previously learned that there was a gang of barbarians who presented auspicious beasts to the Ming Dynasty. Some courtiers also mentioned the matter of Mount Tai being enshrined in Zen. However, I didn’t know what the so-called auspiciousness was at that time. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the matter of Feng Chan seriously. But after Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, confirmed that what Tang He brought back was the Kirin from ancient legends. Regarding the matter of Feng Chan, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the shameless act of forming a Chanyuan Alliance under Song Zhenzong and going to Mount Tai to enshrine him had already destroyed the sanctity of the enshrinement. However, the birth of Qilin represents a precursor to the elimination of all difficulties in the world. According to ancient records, after the appearance of this auspicious beast, there will be no more suffering in the world. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be embarrassed. On the contrary, it will reshape this behavior to a higher level of meaning. It's hard to say that in the future, when people talk about Emperor Qin and Han Wu, they will also include him as the Hongwu Emperor. The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more excited he became. After all, if he can achieve the achievement of Taishan Fengchan, then coupled with his heroic feat of expelling the Tartars and saving the Chinese people from dire straits, the killings that he has been criticized for are too heavy, it will be insignificant after thinking about it. However, Zhu Yuanzhang still managed to calm down his excitement. He smiled faintly and said: "There is no rush to seal the Zen. We will make a decision after we and the people welcome the auspicious Qilin beast together." Although Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, could not risk his own life to fool the emperor. But one should always be afraid of the unexpected. Before seeing Qilin's true face, if he talks too much in advance, once something goes wrong, that day will become a laughing stock for future generations. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still quite excited about Qilin's coming to Yingtian. So much so that after going to court, he didn't take time to catch up on his sleep. Instead, he dealt with another batch of memorials with high spirits, and then took Liu Sanwu and Zhu Biao to the secret room next to the Confucius Temple residence. …… Confucius Temple Residence. Lin Che looked at Zhu Ming, holding the still-steaming knife and carefully placing it on the table. When I opened the casserole, I saw a fragrant black-bone chicken stewed inside. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You're not giving this to me, but to the Xu family's girls, right?" "You kid made a lot of noise when you stayed outside for a long time. Why did you get so crazy when you and your prince brother came here last time?" "Did someone give you some advice from an expert? You actually thought about that. You are a very timid boy. Be careful that your father will peel off your skin and beat your muscles!" Zhu Ming looked at Lin Che with a guilty conscience, and quickly put the topic aside and said, "Sir, I heard that the Xu family girl was injured, so I specially prepared black-bone chicken, and also prepared some high-quality medicinal materials at the Imperial Hospital." "These are all my filial piety to you." Zhu Ming put a few plates of side dishes on the table and smiled: "Sir, you often give lectures to our brothers, and recently you have to take care of the Xu family's girls. Thank you for your hard work. I'll get you some delicious food, isn't it right?" Lin Che took the chicken soup that Zhu Bai served him and looked at Zhu Ming with suspicion. Instead of embarrassing her student, she asked, "You really don't have anything to ask me?" When Zhu Xi heard this, he showed an aggrieved expression, as if he had done something well-intentioned but was being suspected. As a result, he hasn't started performing yet. Zhu Bai was the first to say, "Sir, we just want to ask, do you know where Qilin came from?" This question was not what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask. It was simply that the little boy became curious about the legendary auspicious beast Qilin after learning that some foreign countries paid tribute to Qilin to the Ming Dynasty.

I also want to know whether other mythical beasts besides Qilin also exist in the world. Lin Che took a sip of the delicious chicken soup and couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "This thing was made up by people from ancient times. There are no so-called mythical beasts in the world!" Originally, because Ming Dynasty was about to own the auspicious beast Qilin, Zhu and Zhang both had a look of pride on their faces. But after Lin Che gave a negative answer. Their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly. Zhu Fang couldn't believe it and asked: "Sir, are you kidding? How could Qilin be fake?!" "Please calm down for a moment!" Lin Che gave Zhu Xi a look, then casually pinched her fingers and said with a smile: "Is there any overseas country that paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty with unicorns?" Even though Zhu Xi had seen Lin Che's miraculous divination skills many times, he saw his husband once again, and with a few random movements of his fingers, he calculated that Ming Dynasty was about to obtain the Kirin. I still couldn't help but be amazed in my heart, and I also respected Mr. more and more. (End of this chapter)
