There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 246 Tokugawa Fire

"It's a biological heir." A dude next to him suggested: "It can't be adopted or inherited...

"It can't be an adopted son either."

A few people chattered and filled a lot.

The whole process was led by Wu Youwei, and Shang Ming checked and made up for him. The rest of the people also knew that his actions were not nonsense, but purposeful and meaningful!

Until the end, when everyone parted, everyone admired Wu Youwei. Zhou Ying wanted to send Xu Kuibi back, so he took Xu Kuibi's car.

In the car, Xu Kuibi leaned aside, his eyes sparkled with excitement: "It's a talent, no wonder the emperor values ​​it."

"No matter how important it is, it's too risky for you to come out." Zhou Ying frowned: "Go back and ask the doctor to take your pulse.

"No need." Xu Kuibi shook his head: "In the past few years, I have been taking medicine, and my father also begged some things produced in Huangzhuang from the emperor for me to eat, and my health is much better."

This is another reason why he is willing to give Shang Ming face.

Maybe it's because he has been ill for too long, he is very sensitive to health, since he ate all kinds of food from Huangzhuang, he felt that his body gradually became lighter, and those old diseases were slowly healed, even Breathing is much easier.

It is more effective than the medicine he used to take!

The family thought that the royal doctor was gifted by the emperor with superb skills.

The stepmother is even grateful to the imperial doctor. He understands that the stepmother is afraid that if she is gone, she will not be able to find anything...

The matter was over, but Shang Ming hurried into the palace, and then Wantong was also summoned, and Emperor Xianzong asked him about Wu Youwei's new bookkeeping method.

"This minister really doesn't know." Wantong was rarely stopped by the question: "I have a very good personal relationship with him, but it's not to the point of looking at other people's account books!

Emperor Xianzong thought about it too: "I am in a hurry."

"Actually, if the emperor wants to know, why don't you ask the ministers to ask?" Wan Tongdao: "Wu Youwei has not yet entered the imperial examination, and he uses many things for his own convenience, but he didn't expect to use them somewhere in the court. He doesn't know many ways to benefit the country!"

And how can a Juren dictate to the imperial court?

"He is a man of duty." Emperor Xianzong found another advantage of Wu Youwei.

Vantone fell silent.

"Then you go to inquire about it, and that Xiaoxiao, if he is a talent, don't be a shopkeeper, why not come to the household department and be a small official?" Emperor Xianzong wanted to poach someone's corner as soon as he opened his mouth: "Here Manage the account books of the account department."

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Shang Ming said on the side: "Although Xiaoxiao is capable, but he is an ordinary person, not even a scholar..."

"Then let him test a scholar." Emperor Xianzong was very casual about this: "It's not bad to have a reputation.

Wantong...! ! "

Shang Ming: ...!

As the emperor ascended the throne for a long time, the emperor became more and more... capricious.

On the first day of the first winter month, Wu Youwei came to the capital, and the Overseas Building opened.

In the back-shaped design, the middle is a place dedicated to tasting delicacies from all over the world, while the periphery is a place for individual tourists to taste overseas delicacies.

It is said to be overseas food, but it is actually potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers and other things.

Next to the middle building of the Overseas Building is a Tokugawa Hot Pot that opened at the same time.

Why such a name?

Because Wu Youwei thinks that "Tokugawa" is a shogun in Japan, and it is also the name of a hot pot restaurant in Ming Dynasty...

Hotpot is a joint venture between Wu Youwei and Wantong. Wantong sells people, and Wu Youwei only provides the formula.

Of course, Wu Youwei took [-]%, Wantong took [-]%, and Wantong took the remaining [-]%. Wu Youwei didn't ask him who he gave it to, anyway, just divide the money when the time comes.

There are tens of thousands of hot pot restaurants in Beijing, but whose hot pot has chili peppers in it?

Wu Youwei not only brought peppers, he also brought peppers, green peppers, red Shuzhong Dahongpao, boiled in a pot, and the taste can be blown out for ten miles with the wind!

Especially in winter, no one can refuse hot pot.

In the winter moon, Wu Youwei was staying at Mo Ling Villa, and Wu Qiong was also on winter vacation, so he didn't have to go back and forth to pick up the children.

These years, Wu Youwei has picked up Wu Qiong every three days. He has fulfilled the conditions he promised to his second sister-in-law Wu Mengshi. However, the little Wu Qiong has grown up now, and next year he will take the imperial examination to be a scholar.

Wu Qiong is from Shuntian Prefecture, so it is enough to apply for the exam nearby.

The location of Wujia Village is Wannian County, and Wu Qiong will take the exam in the county.

So now is Wu Qiong's final sprint time. Outside the house, even villagers passing by the gate of Wu's house will unconsciously slow down their steps.

Overseas Building Zhonglou and Dechuan Hot Pot in Beijing are booming in business. They welcomed a lot of diners as soon as they opened, and some people wanted to find something to do, but they flinched when they inquired, because there are too many backers and they can’t be messed with. rise....

There are also people who plan, such as Bai Zhen.

Time gradually entered the twelfth lunar month.

In December Gengzi, Li Chun, the concubine of the left, pursued the discussion of Jingtai's abolition and establishment of affairs. The emperor said: "Jingtai's affairs are over, I don't mind, and it's not what the ministers should say." Take responsibility.

Xin Chou, Zhang Mao and Huang Zhongzhao, editors of the staff, reviewed Zhuang, and the officials were relegated.

It's the month, Cheng Xin breaks the mountain and controls the barbarians, flat.

The business is good, and naturally the share is also high. In the first month, he earned 1000 taels. Wu Youwei felt that it was quite a lot, but Shang Ming said: "This is just the beginning. After deducting labor, consumption and rent, wait for some time. , After the basic money is withdrawn, the rest is pure profit, and that is the time to make money.

Wu Youwei didn't care about this, but many people have already asked about the origin of those overseas objects. After hearing that it was Huangzhuang, they went to Shang Ming, and more people went to the emperor.

With such a good thing, we can plant it together.

Therefore, Shang Ming sold a lot of money just by selling good seeds in the twelfth lunar month. After the money was paid to Emperor Xianzong, he received a hundred taels of gold as a reward from Emperor Xianzong.

This is an aboveboard reward. Shang Ming has now bought a big house in Beijing, where he has raised more than a dozen children, both male and female, and two disabled children, all of whom bear his surname.

After he took the money back, he divided it into several shares, and each child gave a share of money to keep for them.

Time flies quickly, after the twelfth lunar month, after the Laba, and after the porridge is delivered, it will be a new year.

When offering sacrifices to the Stove King God, Wu Youwei happily watched the old portraits turn into ashes, busy for another year.

Because he has made money this year, the annual gifts given out are three points more generous than in previous years. Everyone knows that he seems to have invested in some business and made money.

Happy for him too.

But because he is going to get rid of filial piety, when he gets rid of filial piety, he should be ready to try.

Therefore, the annual gifts for him are basically books, many of which have annotations and annotations, especially Li Dongyang, who gave Wu Youwei two boxes of books, which he used during the exam. Give Wu Youwei some help.Wu Youwei smiled wryly after receiving a pile of books. Do you want to revisit the college entrance examination?That year, Ryukyu, Hami, Zhancheng, and Uzang paid tribute.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tibet was called "Usi Tibet"; the area in Xinjiang was called "Hami"; the Okinawa Islands were called "Ryukyu Islands";

Champa, which provides double-cropping rice, is Champoura ("Pura" means "city" in Sanskrit).Located in the southeastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, it starts from Hengshan Pass in the present-day Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam in the north, and ends in Phan Lang and Phan Li areas in Binh Thuan Province in the south.The king's capital is Indra Pura (now Chaqiao).

Chinese ancient books call it Xianglinyi, or Linyi for short. From the second half of the eighth century to the end of Tang Dynasty, it was renamed the Ring Kingdom.

During the Five Dynasties, it was also called Zhancheng.

According to the national inscription found locally, he always calls himself Champa.

Because this year's double-cropping rice came from Champa, Emperor Xianzong was very kind to the people from Champa, so that the people from Champa trembled, thinking that he had made a mistake!

But the people in U-Tsang were also very happy, because they ate very delicious barbecue in the palace. The hot feeling was like the enthusiasm given to them by the Ming Kingdom.

Emperor Xianzong actually ate hot pot at the New Year's banquet!

It is still the kind with chili added, so that everyone can taste this delicacy. When the envoys of various countries left, they did not give them the very exquisite and valuable things in the past, but each gave them a lot...dried chili.

Shang Ming cunningly poured out all the chili seeds, and all he gave them was the chili skin.

The foreign envoys thought it was a very delicious seasoning, but later found that it had a strong taste, and thought it could be used as a spice.

It also feels cheap.

Emperor Xianzong was also very happy. There are more tributes coming every year, and the household department is having a hard time. This time, it was because of Wynn's suggestion that there was nothing new about giving those things in the past. Why don't we give some new things?

So this time the household department not only saved a lot of money, but also saved a lot of face.

After New Year's Eve, Wantong came to see Wu Youwei with ten carts of stuff. What he brought this time were all private goods sold by foreign missions in Beijing.

In particular, he bought two purebred small Tubo mastiffs from the Uzbek envoy.

I personally packed it in a good box, and carried it directly into Wu Youwei's study: "See what good things I brought you?"

"What?" Wu Youwei looked inside curiously.

Wantong lifted the black cloth that covered it, and the two little Tibetan mastiffs huddled together, cuddling each other for warmth, but they didn't look very energetic.

Wu Youwei gasped: "Tibetan mastiff?"

What the hell!

This thing is simply hard to find in future generations!

Now these two must be pure blood Tibetan mastiffs!

Tibetan Mastiff is known as "the most ferocious dog breed in the world" in later generations.

The typical characteristics of the Tibetan Mastiff are high vigilance, strong sense of territory, extreme loyalty to the owner, strong hostility to strangers in the territory, and good protection of the owner and his belongings.

Because the Tibetan Mastiff has the nature of being loyal to its owner, it is not only the best protection dog for nomads, but also the best protection dog for kings and tribal leaders.

Adult Tibetan mastiffs are tall, resolute, and brave. Even though they were domesticated under the conditions of later generations, they still remain wild.

The body hair of Tibetan Mastiff is thick and thick, the outer coat is not too long, and the undercoat is thick and soft like wool in cold climates. It is resistant to cold and can sleep peacefully in ice and snow.

In warm climates, it is very rare.

Protects territory, protects food, is good at attacking, and has strong hostility to strangers; although it is extremely affectionate to its master, it poses a serious threat to the public in human living areas.

And none of these can resist Wu Youwei's liking for the little Tibetan mastiff.

"It's called a Tubo mastiff." Wan Tong said, "It is said that they only recognize one owner in their life. I didn't lift the cloth when I came here. You are the first person to see them."

Wu Youwei said with a dark face, "Are they all with their eyes closed?"

Wantong also took a look inside, and found that they all had their eyes closed!

"And why do I see that this little Tibetan mastiff is not in good condition?" Wu Youwei frowned: "Where did you get it?"

"It cost 20 taels of gold, and I bought it from a dog slave who came with the envoy from Uzbekistan!" Wantong gritted his teeth, "That guy redeemed himself with the money I gave him!"

Maybe it was because he was afraid that the master would lose the 20 taels of gold, and redeemed himself in front of his face....

"No matter how you got here, go out and find some goat milk and let the kitchen steam some minced meat." Wu Youwei hurriedly urged: "Let someone make two soft little mats.

Wantong went out with a dark face, Wu Youwei immediately took out the spiritual water, and took a sip from one of them, at least it was a Tibetan mastiff!

Moreover, these two Tibetan mastiffs are both black, but the tip of their hair is golden. If they can grow up, they will be very powerful.

Wu Youwei touched the two little Tibetan mastiffs who had become more energetic, and suddenly, they both opened their eyes at the same time...
