The next morning.

"Don't bother the Crown Princess. Let her sleep a little longer."

Zhu Ying, who was changing clothes in the outer room, opened the door and spoke.

"Yes, sir."

Guo Zhong replied with a look of joy on his face.

At the same time, the bags under his eyes seemed to be heavier, his spirit was a little listless, and his eye sockets were vaguely dark.

Guo Zhong did not sleep all night last night.

I listened to the wall all night long.

Even the royal family cannot avoid the custom of eavesdropping.

In fact, Zhu Ying was aware of what was going on outside, but there were some things that even as the crown prince, he had no control over.

The only option is to ignore it.

Seeing the Crown Prince dressed and walking out of Kunning Palace steadily without any sign of decadence, Guo Zhong's face was filled with amazement.

The trusted junior official said at this time: "Eunuch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger. He tossed and turned all night and only stopped at the crowing of the cock. He is so vigorous. It is a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

"I think if His Majesty knew this news, he would be very happy."

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhong slapped the young eunuch on the head and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, since you know that His Majesty will be happy, why don't you hurry up and tell His Majesty the good news."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, eunuch, thank you, eunuch..."

Guo Zhong waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and go quickly. I'm afraid His Majesty has been waiting for this news."

The young eunuch quickly stood up and bowed: "I will be right there."

Then he spread his legs and ran away.

This kind of good news is the most delicious thing among officials.

Especially since the person is His Majesty.

Your Majesty is happy, and gold, silver and treasures are secondary. The next time there is a promotion, it might fall on me.

The most important thing for a eunuch is to be familiar to the royal family. This will make your life much easier in the future.

Guo Zhong was overjoyed, but immediately arranged for the palace maids to guard the bedroom.

In fact, Guo Zhong also wanted to go in person for such a good thing, but the Crown Princess had not woken up yet, so naturally he had to serve her.

Besides, he has reached this level now, so there is no need to be obsessed with showing up in public.

It is enough to be able to maintain the current position and avoid any mistakes.

In today's Ming Dynasty, no matter which class of officials they belong to, their first thought is to survive.

…

When Ye Yue woke up, it was already noon.

"Your Highness!"

With a cry of surprise, Ye Yueqing wanted to get up and check the surrounding situation, but then she felt a pain.

Memory returns.

Ye Yueqing just wanted to hide in bed again.

Unspeakable scenes kept circling in her mind, and the pain somewhere in her body kept reminding her of the madness of last night.

"How can I withstand such a fierce attack from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? It seems that I can only think of a way quickly and find a few people to share the burden."

There was a bitter feeling on Ye Yueqing's lips.

Both of them were new to the world and had no idea what to do. Zhu Ying also had no control over the right measure, which was because he had too little experience.

Feeling the condition of his body, Ye Yueqing was very clear that he was afraid that the next two or three days would be very difficult.

However, she felt extremely guilty that she could not serve the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, he struggled to get up.

Guo Zhong heard the noise outside and immediately arranged for the palace maids to go in and serve, while he waited outside the house.

Although he was a eunuch, Guo Zhong was extremely cautious and set a rule that only palace maids could serve the Crown Prince's Consort. Even eunuchs had to avoid them and not act presumptuously.

After changing clothes, Ye Yueqing called Guo Zhong.

"Before tonight, arrange for Princess Anxiu of Annan, Chen Muyue, to wait at Kunning Palace."

"I understand."

…

"Is our eldest grandson really so fierce?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he stood up and questioned the eunuch who delivered the message.

The young eunuch was timid. After being glared at like that, his mind went blank. He fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Everything I said is true. Please understand clearly. I would never dare to deceive you."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he burst into laughter.

This laugh was so unrestrained and hearty.

I feel happier this morning.

"Our great grandson, our great grandson!!!"

"I really didn't expect that my grandson would be able to remain a virgin even after traveling through the deserts of the Western Regions."

“To be so fierce, it means that all the strength of the past 19 years has been used. Good grandson, hehehe, our good grandson!”

For the Ming Dynasty, strictly speaking, in today's society, a man's virility is very important.

Especially the royal family, they attach more importance to it.

Handling government affairs is one aspect, and being capable is another.

In this way, there is no need to worry about not being able to have many children and descendants.

"No, we really underestimated our eldest grandson. He is so energetic. He has not slept for most of the night and yet he can still run out of the palace. This shows that he is far from reaching his limit."

"I'm afraid that Yueqing, this girl, can't be supported by one person. We have to find a way to give Da Sun a few more women."

After thinking it through, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved and he had an idea in his mind.

…

The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so vigorous and powerful that he would not stop until the cockcrow had spread throughout the palace in less than half a day.

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, this may not seem like a good thing, but in today's Ming Dynasty, it is truly a great thing.

According to the words of the civil officials, this is a blessing for the country and the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying could never have imagined that what he thought was just a secret affair would now become known to everyone.

Now Zhu Ying was rushing to the office of the Beijing Gazette.

The office of the Dibao was not located in the bustling streets of the capital, but in the outer city.

And even though it is in the outer city, it is a relatively secluded place.

Completely different from the office environment of later generations, these are two large connected courtyards.

The editor-in-chief and editor of the Beijing Gazette usually set up a desk in the main hall and started compiling.

Not far away is the place where the Qunying Chamber of Commerce uses for printing.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the main hall, the editor-in-chief Yuan Jiachi led all the editors in bowing and saluting.

"This time, I came here mainly to discuss the second edition of the newspaper."

"The first edition of the court newspaper has basically been printed and will be available for sale tomorrow. The court newspaper was originally scheduled to be released seven days later."

"I have changed my mind at the last minute. You must complete the compilation and proofreading within two days, and then publish, print and sell it immediately."

Zhu Ying didn't waste any words and started giving orders directly.

Yuan Jiachi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, we will definitely complete your order within two days."

If a dozen people can't even write two pages of court reports, then there's no point in being here.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying shook his head and said, "This time, I came mainly to discuss the second edition of the official newspaper."

"The main reason why I came here in person is because of this content."

Yuan Jiachi bowed and asked, "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Zhu Ying did not beat around the bush and spoke directly: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is about to invade Japan, you must complete the main introduction and analysis of Japan in the shortest possible time."

"Especially the Japanese killed the Ming envoy and were disloyal to the Ming. Moreover, many members of the Japanese government were originally Japanese pirates. These things must be explained in detail."

"It would be better to add some evidence about the Japanese pirates' invasion of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the living conditions of the local people after the invasion."

At this point, Zhu Ying looked at Yuan Jiachi and asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuan Jiachi bowed quickly and said, "I understand."

Zhu Ying nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Song Zhong beside him and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

Four Jinyiwei came over carrying two large boxes.

"What is contained in this is the record of the Japanese pirates' invasion of our Ming Dynasty. We must carefully consider which ones can be used and which ones cannot be used."

Zhu Ying explained.

The words have been made so clear, how could Yuan Jiachi not understand the logic.

The most important thing is how to boost the morale of the Ming people towards Japan.

Since ancient times, people have emphasized the importance of having a legitimate reason for their military operations, and the publication of the Imperial Gazette was naturally for fame and justice.

…

Zhengyang Avenue, we finally booked a room.

On this day, the people of the capital rushed to Zhengyang Avenue before dawn.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this is Zhengyang Avenue, we have to catch the first step, I heard that stepping on it can bring good luck."

"That's right. Yesterday was the Crown Prince's wedding. The aura of joy must have not faded yet. Hurry up and take a few more puffs. It can at least be considered as some royal good fortune."

"If you can really get the good fortune of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, everything will go smoothly and your wealth will continue."

"Isn't it true that having many children means more blessings?"

"Idiot, don't you see what kind of person our Crown Prince is? The capital can be what it is today, all thanks to the Crown Prince. Don't you think we can live such a good life?"

"Tsk tsk, with a subsidy of tens of millions, the rice I have stored is enough to last me for half a year. I really want to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The Heroes Chamber of Commerce is so large that even saying they make a fortune every day seems a bit too little. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably the reincarnation of the God of Wealth."

"Bullshit, the God of Wealth is nothing in front of His Royal Highness. If there really is a reincarnation of the God of Wealth, it would probably just be one of His Royal Highness's subordinates."

"That makes sense, that makes sense..."

Zhengyang Avenue is thirty zhang wide, which is more than ninety meters wide in later generations.

However, even such a wide space could not accommodate the enthusiasm of the people in the capital.

At first glance, there were densely packed crowds of people.

Uncle Zhang brought Zhang San to Zhengyang Avenue to check the situation.

Of course, the most important thing is about the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue.

Now, with the help of the Ministry of Industry, construction has begun on both sides and is currently in the stage of laying the foundation.

"Uncle Zhang, does your highness mean that the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue will be mainly rented out, and not a single one will be sold?"

Zhang San asked with some doubt.

After the incident, Zhang San lost his position in the Jinyiwei and returned to Zhang Bo to help.

Although the misunderstanding was eventually resolved, there is no way to go back and we can only look ahead.

Now that his lover who was far away in the Western Regions had also arrived, Zhang San could finally feel at ease.

"Originally, His Royal Highness wanted to sell some of the shops to cover the expenses on Zhengyang Avenue."

"But I heard that they are planning to build a bigger road that goes straight from north to south. The national treasury will definitely provide support. It can't be said that the Chamber of Commerce will pay for it all."

"Even if the Chamber of Commerce is emptied out, it still cannot be built."

"According to this calculation, there is no need to spend too much to cover the expenses. The Chamber of Commerce has sufficient funds recently."

"The prices of the shops on both sides are too low if we sell them now. As the capital becomes more prosperous, the prices of these shops will surely increase accordingly, so let's keep them for now."

"According to His Royal Highness' instructions, the lease is for two years, and those who expire will be given priority for renewal."

Zhang San doesn't understand business.

But looking at the dense crowds on Zhengyang Avenue, even a fool would understand that any shop is an excellent and prosperous shop and a symbol of status.

No matter what business you do, it is a sure win.

Holding it in your hands is the key.

At this moment, Uncle Zhang suddenly frowned and sniffed.

"What's wrong with Uncle Zhang?" Zhang San asked.

Zhang Bo said in a deep voice: "I smell the smell of the Japanese pirates."

"Those guys are so bold to come to our Ming capital."

Zhang San's eyes suddenly became sharp, but after looking around, he didn't see any suspicious people.

"Uncle Zhang, could this be a mistake?"

Zhang Bo shook his head and said, "Even if I turn into ash, I will never forget this fishy smell of the sea."

Zhang Bo was not of Han ethnicity, but belonged to the Donghai Jurchen, also known as the Wild Jurchen.

As the patriarch of a small Jurchen tribe in the East China Sea, he had many dealings with Japanese pirates.

He once had two sons, who died at the hands of Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates not only invaded the Ming Dynasty, but also targeted all coastal areas.

Zhang Bo was very familiar with the Japanese pirates.

"Don't use your eyes to see. These pirates look very similar to our Ming people. You can't tell them apart from their faces. But the smell on them will never fool me."

Zhang Bo's tone was certain. Before he met Zhu Ying, Zhang Bo's tribe and the Japanese pirates were mortal enemies.

How many brothers and sisters fell on the road to fighting against the Japanese pirates.

Zhang Bo hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then pulled Zhang San to investigate carefully.

A certain restaurant.

A man looked out the window at the prosperous and bustling scene and couldn't help but say, "Kameda-kun, the Ming Dynasty is truly prosperous. Compared to it, our country of Japan is like heaven and earth."

"It's only been half a year since I came to Ming, but I don't want to go back anymore. As they say, it's called being happy and not wanting to go back."

Kameda was displeased when he heard this: "Do you want to betray the glory of the Emperor?"

After hearing this, the man who had just spoken immediately began to express his loyalty to the emperor, which made Kameda nod in satisfaction.

"The main reason we came here this time is to see if we can steal the manufacturing method of Ming Dynasty firearms, especially the cannons that even the city walls cannot withstand."

"If we can return, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward us greatly."

The two spoke in low voices, in Japanese, and were not afraid of being overheard.
