The officials were looking forward to the holidays, just as they were hoping that Emperor Taizu would die early. Although they didn't say it in their hearts, everyone had this idea.

Although Fang Shiyu was in charge of the rule, if the old emperor heard that there were corrupt officials, no one could protect him, and no one dared to protect him.

During festivals, we often take a break for fifteen days, ten days, three days and five days, giving officials enough rest time.

During the re-ordered holiday, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month is on the 18th day of the first lunar month, which is the New Year's Eve, and the local government offices may ignore government affairs and postpone the trial of the case.

Fang Shiyu also divided government affairs at all levels into three levels. Things that need to be handled urgently must be handled and must not be slackened.

Of course, Fang Shiyu is not a charitable monarch, but the time was too coincidental. He must have a holiday on New Year's Eve. However, Zhu Yuanzhang, the second year of the second year of the King of Wu, set up a sacrifice on Zijin Mountain, ascended the throne and became emperor, and established a country as the Ming Dynasty, and changed the reign of Hongwu.

In the second year of King Wu, the first year of Hongwu, the fourth day of the first lunar month, as the founding day of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Shiyu's initial impression was to establish holidays so that the people of the world would always remember this day.

However, he was on New Year's Eve before, and then Shangyuan, and finally connected the three festivals together, from the 21st day of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 1st month of the 18th month.

After that, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, each has five days off.

Even the Chinese Valentine's Day on the seventh day of the seventh month was nominated for a holiday by Fang Shiyu.

It is a couple festival for the Ming Empire.

Today, whether civil and military officials or civil servants or promoted to the common people, the entire Tai'an Prefecture has long been filled with people, including envoys from North Korea, Siam, Chapo, Dongchahatai, Tatars, and Oirat.

All countries or forces that the Ming Dynasty could reach around the Ming Dynasty, but in the order of invitation, they arrived.

Fang Shiyu took Li Wan and Ma Shu around the streets. Zhu Zhi, who was beside him, came over at some point and pulled Fang Shiyu, and did not let Fang Shiyu go to see the lanterns.

He spoke, "Sir, how many vassal kings are still in the territory?"

"Now? Except for the three kings of Wu, Zhao and Han, Zhu Nan has not yet enthroned him, and you have not enthroned him, that's all." Fang Shiyu shrugged, and all the things that should be sent out were sent out.

Those who stayed there were Zhu Nan who was still young, and Zhu Yunhuang, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi might not be able to take the big responsibility. As for Zhu Zhi, he was the only second-generation vassal king who was still in the territory besides Zhu Nan.

Zhu Zhi said: "No, that guy Zhu Quan went overseas half a year ago and was a vassal. I don't want Japan anymore. In this way, you can send me to Dongsheng Shenzhou and draw me a location close to the beach, okay?"

Zhu Zhi couldn't get in the palace. He wanted to see Fang Shiyu, and it was even more difficult than Zhu Yunpeng and others. Since Zhu Quan went out to become a vassal, Zhu Nan, the second-generation prince of the entire Zhu royal family, was still young, but only six years old.

Fang Shiyu said: "That won't work. I promised you at the beginning. Moreover, you must go to the Japanese place. I will endure it for a while. When the 25th Plan is over, the court will take action!"

Fang Shiyu's face was calm. He could afford it anyway. The 15th Five-Year Plan and 25th Plan were all about making a lot of investment in domestic economic development and regional construction to promote the internal circulation of the country.

The opening of Guangzhou Port, Quanzhou Port and Zhigukou is to ensure the smooth progress of maritime trade and add more maritime trade profits to the country.

When the Second Five-Year Plan ended perfectly, the Ming Dynasty was sweeping across Japan with a strong attitude, and it was still firm.

Zhu Zhi said, "But, this can't just trap me like that. Otherwise, you might as well seal me to Dongsheng Shenzhou. You can still meet Xiaopang and Shiqi if you have nothing to do!"

Zhu Zhiche was almost crazy. In this huge capital, he had no time to do except walk his horse and make birds every day, and he was a dignified prince.

I stay at home all day, I really don’t know when it will be.

Fang Shiyu insisted that the 25th Plan was over before he would attack Japan. Doesn’t this mean that he would stay in the capital until the end of the eighth year of Taishi?

"Okay, 15, you'd better have fun. I'm going to watch the lights."

Fang Shiyu made Zhu Zhi a few words, and took Li Wan and Ma Shu to the direction of Yongding Gate.

When you climb the city tower, there are many soldiers on both sides. Although the city gate is open, there is a beacon tower every five miles outside the entire Tai'an Prefecture City to strictly prevent nomadic invasion.

Fang Shiyu went up to the city tower, and the soldiers on both sides were guarding their posts without any movement.

In response, Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "The discipline of these city guards is very strict, good, good." Fang Shiyu said while walking.

Following the Yongding Gate wall, you will walk to a corner. Fang Shiyu is standing at the Xibian Gate. There are not many officers and soldiers here, it is an empty area.

Taking the two ladies and standing on the city wall to watch the lights, Fang Shiyu said: "I don't know how many years this prosperous scene can exist."

Li Wan said: "Your Highness has achieved martial ethics and the Ming Dynasty is prosperous. Why do you say such unlucky words?"

"People say that Emperor Taizu was the emperor of thousands of years. Although Taishi only lasted for four years, it had already pushed the Ming Dynasty to a peak."

"The Ming Dynasty in the future will only become more and more prosperous."

Li Wandao.

Ma Shu, who was standing beside her, said calmly: "I just hope that Taishi is just a beginning, not an end."

What this said is exactly what Fang Shiyu is most worried about. The Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger in his hands, the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and expand their territory overseas. But if the Ming Dynasty is in his hands, it will become the peak of the Ming Dynasty, and the monarchs in later generations will go downhill from generation to generation.

That's really uncomfortable

"Why did Your Highness disagree to enfeoff fifteen in Dongsheng Shenzhou just now?" Ma Shu suddenly changed her mind and said that the tragic matter of the rise and fall of the country was really not a good thing in this lucky day.

Fang Shiyu said: "It's nothing. Gao Chi is going to return to Beijing. At that time, I'm going to let him get married in the capital and then settle in the capital."

"There is currently only one vassal king of Zhu Laosi in Dongsheng Shenzhou. If the fifteenth place goes, it is inevitable that the two parties will join forces. It is not a good thing for the imperial court to control the Dongsheng Shenzhou. He should go to Japan obediently!"

Fang Shiyu's face was calm. Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi had a good relationship since childhood. Putting them together was still Dongsheng Shenzhou. In the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is only Zhu Quan, a vassal king.

It is precisely because of this that the development of Zhu Quan was greatly restricted, and it sent more vassal kings to Dongsheng Shenzhou to earn time, without letting Dongsheng Shenzhou develop at all.

If Zhu Zhi also goes to Dongsheng Shenzhou, it is impossible for the two brothers to join forces to cause trouble.

Just as Fang Shiyu and Ma Shu and Li Wan were ecstatic when they were watching the lanterns, Wei Hong hurriedly ran up and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Highness."

Wei Hongcai was breathing heavily, and he was almost unable to hold on.

Fang Shiyu said: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

"The King of Min, King of Min, and the Prince of Min, Zhu Gaoxu returned to Beijing. Now he has paid taxes at the Zhigukou Maritime Warehouse Department, and he has already entered Beijing!"

"Just wait at the Meridian Gate for His Highness to summon him."

Zhu Gaoxu walked in step by step from outside, walked slowly, and appeared in front of Fang Shiyu with a slightly dull look on his face, bowing and saying, "Gao Xu greets the ancestor!"

"I've been negligent, why are you back?" Fang Shiyu looked at Zhu Gaoxu suspiciously. This guy has grown much taller again, and he is one head taller than when he left the Ming Dynasty four years ago.

With a tiger's back and a bear's waist, Kong Wu's strong upper body makes his clothes rise.

"I came back this time to send envoys to pay tribute. When Duke Liang's fleet had just left for a year, I took the fleet back to the Ming Dynasty on the same route!"

Zhu Gaoxu answered in response.

"Well, the Zhu family's children are still very good. Is your father doing well there?" Fang Shiyu asked with a determined look at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Master, I'm so miserable!" As he said that, Zhu Gaoxu sat directly on the brick and rolled around and wailed.

"It's late at night. If you have anything to say, you're here to roll around and make people see what you look like!"

Fang Shiyu glanced at him and was puzzled by Zhu Gaoxu's nonsensical behavior. Is it because his life overseas was not satisfactory?

Probably not.

Zhu Di has talents, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are both capable, Dongsheng Shenzhou is also a place near the sea. No matter how difficult life is, it will not be too bad with the hard work of the people of the Celestial Empire.

After all, it is more comfortable and leisurely than being a free prince in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his sleeves with both hands and cried bitterly: "Master, I, when I was docking at Guangzhou Port to replenish supplies, I heard from local officials that Grandpa, grandpa is gone..."

Fang Shiyu's eyes flashed and she sighed heavily and said, "March 1 this year is your grandfather's death day. Yun Xi, Yun Xi, and Yun Xi are all in Nanjing."

"If you don't rush back, go to Zhongshan to have a look on the first day of March." Fang Shiyu held his mouth. Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a little older, and the old man had always been a strict father among his sons.

It's far better than facing a group of grandchildren.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Thank you, Master."

"Okay, now you can say it. It's already midnight. If you don't say it again, I'll go back to bed." Fang Shiyu shook his head slightly. It's already midnight.

Originally, at this time, he should have taken two concubines to enjoy the lanterns with him at Xibianmen. After all, if there was nothing particularly important during this period, the entire official would be in a certain state of suspension.

All official documents can be postponed until the 18th day of the first lunar month before execution.

Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: "Originally, my father prepared a letter from home, which was for my grandfather. Now my grandfather is gone, so I can only read it for my ancestor."

As he said that, Zhu Gaoxushao looked around, as if he was afraid of being seen by outsiders, so he took out a letter from his arms.

After all, in Africa, there is no force yet, with muskets, and even their mesh ropes are far behind.

In addition to the firearm, there is actually something that bothers Zhu Di.

Africa is also mostly flat, without war horses, and it is impossible to form cavalry to carry out corps charges. However, from the central court to the Cape of Good Hope, it took a hundred thousand miles. The main war horses of the court were Mongolian horses, but I was afraid that they would be killed by various reasons before they could be transported there.

What's more, even though the Ming Dynasty's firearms have been popular now, war horses have always been the strategic reserve resource of the court, and raising horses is much more troublesome than forging muskets and projectiles.

A best war horse can support the soldiers of two Central Army.

After all, it has not been mechanized yet, and armored troops do not exist. War horses can still rule this era for at least two hundred years, although firearms are a nightmare for large corps cavalry.

But firearms belong to the Ming Dynasty and cavalry are also from the Ming Dynasty. It is not possible to deal with nomadic peoples alone. Without cavalry, they can only defend passively.

It is like the Song Dynasty. Even if you win a battle, you will be unable to expand the results of the battle without cavalry. The northern nomads come without a trace.

That night, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't close his eyes. Whether he could successfully leave the Ming Dynasty with these firearms and strengthen his Fujian King's tribe, just wait for Fang Shiyu to find him today.
