The event continued until the evening, when everyone left and Zhu Youxiao also came to the arranged resting place.
This night, Zhu Youxiao had a rare chance to relax.
After seeing these warships, he saw the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty's warships will sail out from here and become an invincible fleet that dominates the world.
I have been busy for so many years and worked diligently for so many years, all for this obsession in my heart.
Now that he finally sees hope, how could Zhu Youxiao not be in a good mood?
At the same time, I am also full of hope and my heart is full of passion for struggle. I must do things well.
The next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up very early.
Although he hasn't done anything in the past two years, he never dares to slack off in terms of physical exercise.
Zhu Youxiao kept reminding himself to live a few more years.
Driven by his biological clock, he got up early this morning, took a walk, and then did some boxing and running in the yard.
Qi Yuangong and his men were guarding on the side, not daring to slack off even for a moment.
The same went for the guards around, everyone was watching carefully.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything either.
You can't slack off no matter where you are.
Zhu Youxiao took the towel handed to him by Wei Chao and wiped his face.
This towel was just developed in the past two years. It is made of wool, soft and absorbent, and is perfect for wiping your face.
Towels have become widely popular since they were launched. They can be said to be a must-have item in aristocratic families, and their prices are still high.
The price of a single towel like this is enough to buy a set of silk clothes. At this time, scarcity makes things valuable.
The Imperial Household Department ran its business very smartly, and Zhu Youxiao did not interfere in such matters.
After wiping his face, Zhu Youxiao threw the towel in his hand to Wei Chao and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty," Wei Chao said quickly, "The two Lords Song are already waiting outside."
"What are they doing here?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned and asked, "Is there something going on?"
"Your Majesty, they are here to pay their respects to you." Wei Chao said again.
There was nothing wrong with what the Song brothers did. After all, when the emperor came to your territory, you had to come and pay your respects in the morning.
Just like a child at home, there is a saying that goes "wake up at dawn and dusk". To put it simply, you have to visit your parents in the morning and evening, pay your respects in the morning, and also before going to bed at night.
When facing the emperor, you naturally have to have this attitude.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said, "Then prepare breakfast. Call them in and have them eat with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed respectfully.
Wei Chao couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The emperor really valued the Song brothers.
You know, usually when encountering such a situation, the emperor would just send his ministers away. Summoning them in for an audience was already a favor to them.
But now the emperor actually wants to summon the two brothers of the Song family and have dinner together. This is not just a simple favor. To what extent must the emperor favor the two brothers to receive such treatment?
However, Wei Chao did not dare to say anything and turned around and walked out. He wanted to bring the two Song brothers in quickly and not waste time, otherwise it would cause the emperor's displeasure.
After simply tidying up and changing his clothes, Zhu Youxiao saw the two Song brothers walking in from outside.
Seeing that the two were about to salute, Zhu Youxiao simply waved his hand and interrupted them.
He said, "We are not in the capital, nor in the palace, so let's not do it privately. I am about to have breakfast, so you can come with me."
The two Song brothers looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.
You know, they came to pay homage to the emperor, and it was normal for the emperor to give them rewards. This was originally a win-win situation.
But why did His Majesty say that? It sounded as if the two of them were here to eat for free, and they even came right at mealtime.
However, the two Song family members only had this thought for a moment, and they quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the two Song brothers sat down, Wei Chao ordered someone to bring the food.
Zhu Youxiao's breakfast has always been very simple. This morning it was rice porridge and steamed buns, two eggs, and several kinds of mixed vegetables.
Because someone wanted to test for poison, the porridge was already half warm when it was served.
This was Zhu Youxiao's own idea. After the poison tester tasted the food, he would put all the food in an insulated box.
There is hot water under the heat preservation, which ensures that the food does not get cold. Although the taste is not as good as freshly cooked, at least it is hot.
There are many things that are just right to eat at this time, such as the bowl of rice porridge in Zhu Youxiao's hand. It is warm and delicious, and tastes very good. Zhu Youxiao eats it with great relish.
Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing also ate with relish. After all, accompanying His Majesty to dine, the food was no longer tasty.
After the three of them finished eating, the leftovers were removed and warm tea was served.
After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Youxiao looked at the Song brothers and said, "I came to take a look this time and I'm very satisfied. You two did a great job."
"Once this matter is concluded, the rewards will be given. Also, your official positions may not be adjusted for the time being. But I believe it will not be too far away."
The Song brothers were ministers that Zhu Youxiao valued very much, so it was naturally impossible for him to leave them here to look after the shipyard.
Using them in this way was actually a bit of a waste. But now that he was replacing them, Zhu Youxiao was really worried.
