Daming Super Daddy

"When I built it in the early Ming Dynasty, there were not so many people in Nanjing!" Standing beside Zhu Song was Zhu Di, looking at the crowds on the street ahead, he said with emotion: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Decades have passed, and the city of Nanjing has long been the political and cultural center of my Ming Dynasty, all thanks to you gentlemen!"

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, and now my great Ming Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, and the universe is peaceful, all thanks to Lord Hongwu and Your Majesty to govern the world with benevolence and rule the world according to the law!" Yao Guangxiao, an old monk, can speak, "My minister is just an executor. Forget it, how dare you covet the power of heaven?"

"Mom, when did this old monk talk so well?" Zhu Song looked at Yao Guangxiao's big bald head speechlessly, and muttered in his heart.

"Long live, I wait for the courtiers to 'eat the king's salary, be loyal to the king', everything we should do." Just as Zhu Song was pondering, Xie Jin also stood up and saluted Zhu Di.

"What Xie Gong said is very true!" Jin Zhong, an old fellow, also jumped out, "If I, Daming, were not for His Majesty, how would I have the prosperity I have today?"

"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Song was stunned, why did one or two start to flirt with Zhu Dima, "I can't see it, as long as these guys are willing, there is no such thing as He Shen in this world." thing!"

The foreign kings around were also dumbfounded, these guys looked quite simple and honest, how could they talk so sourly?Could it be that the officials of Ming Dynasty all have this kind of virtue?

"Hahaha, you gentlemen are quite good at talking!" Zhu Di knew that these guys were flattering himself, but Zhu Di was still very happy in his heart. Who is still tired of being praised?

"Okay, okay, you're almost done." Zhu Di waved his hand and glanced at the foreign kings next to him.

From Zhu Di's point of view, if this continues, the foreign kings will probably laugh at him.

The kings of these foreign countries are not fools, so they naturally understood what was going on, and immediately looked at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and put on an appearance that I didn't see anything.

The people who were hundreds of feet away, after the initial cheers, calmed down one after another.

"Hey, do you think that's a foreigner?"

"When you say that, I really didn't care!"

"These guys look very different from us, look at that hair, those eyes..."

After the silence fell, the common people began to pay attention to this group of kings who obviously had a foreign atmosphere.

After all, the "Hundred Nations Feast" has been publicized for more than a month, and with the addition of foreign people who have come to Nanjing one after another these days, it's okay for the common people to look at these guys curiously.

Zhu Di didn't care what the people below were thinking, he just waved his hand and said, "Zheng He, declare the decree!"

This was discussed with Xie Jin and the others before. In front of these foreign kings, some new policies to benefit the people were promulgated, so that these guys can take a good look at how my Ming Dynasty treats the people!

"Bong, Tian Chengyun, Emperor Zhao said: Since I ascended the throne, the people..."

The prefix read a lengthy paragraph, and the people standing at the front were a little annoyed by hearing it. Then Zheng He began to read the decree. Not to mention, the decree still has many benefits for the people.

For example: Among the government decrees, there is one item that pays taxes to the people, which means that as long as the new people are able to cultivate the land, they do not need to pay grain taxes to the court for five years.

After five years, if you do not choose to cultivate the land, you can return the cultivated land to the imperial court, but after all, after five years of cultivation, you still need to pay a part of the lease money to the imperial court.

Of course, there is very little money for this step, and ordinary people's families can afford it.

What also surprised these foreign kings was that Daming raised the social status of merchants and encouraged the common people to vigorously develop industry and commerce.

These Fanbangs know that the Central Plains has had the term "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce" since ancient times, and the order of these four characters also shows that the status of "Shang" in Daming is the lowest, even inferior to those craftsmen.

After all, businessmen are covered with the stench of copper, so their social status is only higher than that of slaves.

But looking at Emperor Ming's posture, it was clear that he wanted to elevate the status of merchants.

What are the most common people in Nanjing?Aboriginal people of course!

However, there is not much land around the Ming Dynasty. Not everyone in Nanjing City has land around them. There are many people in Nanjing City whose arable land is far away from Jiaxing or even Zhenjiang, so more people in Nanjing City Choose to do some small business.

Therefore, the most people in Nanjing City are those who do small business!

When they heard this decree, the people all cheered and jumped up, because this decree was in the best interests of the moment for them, and their status would be too high in the future, no one could underestimate them.

This brief 'appearance' only lasted for a short half an hour, and then Zhu Di's dragon chariot took the lead, and a large group of people headed towards the meal place that had been arranged long ago.

……

Preparations for the meal plaza on the east side of Fengtian Hall have already begun.

Fortunately, today's weather is not bad, long tables have been lined up, and a beautifully dressed but tight-fitting court lady shuttled under the tent with dishes and pots of wine in her hands.

After they passed by, there would be an extra dish and a jug of fine wine on each long table. It seemed that the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room had already started preparing the dishes. They didn't care if there was anyone eating them. Only obey, and ensure that every dish is made with heart.

Just when a barbecue grill was set up under the tent and a few lambs were put on it, Zhu Di and the others finally entered through the Fengtian Gate, thinking about the square in front of the Fengtian Hall and coming slowly.

The palace maids and imperial chefs who were preparing the dishes quickly put down their work, ran to the front of the tent, bowed to Zhu Di, and shouted long live three times at the same time!

"Excuse me!" Zhu Di waved his hand very stylishly, and then said to the foreign kings and princes and ministers: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Saying this, Zhu Di thought about walking inside the tent, and sat at the front without hesitation.

There was a long table at the front, covered with a bright yellow tablecloth, filled with all kinds of delicate dishes, melon and fruit snacks, and three jugs of fine wine.

Of course, the things placed on the other long tables are the same as the things on this long table, only the color of the tablecloth is different.

"Gentlemen, the 'Hundred Nations Feast' is held these few days, and we only talk about romance at this wine table, regardless of political affairs, what do you think?" Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, and although he said it was a question, it was not tolerated. The tone of disapproval still shows his attitude.

These foreign kings and their royal families sat on the table table on the east side of the tent, while Zhu Song and other kings and princes and ministers sat on the table table on the west side of the tent, and the two parties sat facing each other.

"I'll follow His Majesty Ming Emperor's orders!" Zhu Song and the others hadn't responded yet, but Stans stood up with a flattering expression on his face.

This is to say that when facing Zhu Di and the kings, if they put it on others, this guy would be too lazy at all, a typical bullying and fearing the hard.

"Yes, I will follow His Majesty Ming Emperor's orders!"

With the beginning, those foreign kings naturally followed closely behind, how dare they lag behind others?

"What about you?" Zhu Di turned his head and looked towards the west side of the tent.

"Of course!" Zhu Song said naturally, "It is enough to talk about political affairs in the Fengtian Hall and the Nuan Pavilion. If you talk about political affairs outside, I am afraid that I will be exhausted! Brother Sihuang, you should still be a minister. .”

With outsiders in front of him, Zhu Song naturally had to control his speech.

"You!" Zhu Di shook his head, then directly raised the wine glass in front of him, and said, "Come on, gentlemen, you have traveled thousands of miles from a foreign country to my Daming to participate in the 'Hundred Nations Feast'. Touched, this cup, I respect you all, please drink up this cup!"

Shit, His Majesty the Ming Emperor toasted, this is the first time he has ever seen it!

"His Majesty Xie Minghuang!" Fanbang kings dared not refuse, so they raised their glasses and killed them!

"Hahaha, okay, you can eat as much as you like, and drink as you please, I will accompany you, and you will never return if you are not drunk!" Zhu Di also drank the wine in his glass, looking quite happy.

"Brother Four Emperors, these foreign kings are really easy to satisfy!" Zhu Song sat on the upper west side, that is, the first seat, quite close to Zhu Di.

"It's not that they are easily satisfied, it's that they dare not come forward to toast me!" Zhu Di held the wine glass in his hand, looked at the foreign kings with a smile, and said, "Brother Song, do you think I'm so scary?"

Zhu Song looked Zhu Di seriously for a long while before he said with a smile, "No!"

Just when Zhu Di was about to say something, Zhu Song suddenly continued, "That's quite scary!"
