Since the beginning of winter, the first snow in Kaifeng Prefecture finally fell, and the earth was covered in white, covered with silver, so beautiful.

Zhu Yinglong was hiding in the house and started a charcoal furnace to discuss future development plans with Sun Chengzong and others.

In order to eliminate the distinction between high and low people in these people's hearts, Zhu Yinglong officially brought out the roundtable meeting of later generations. Everyone sat in a circle, which not only narrowed the distance between people, but also made everyone feel his importance to them, and could gather ideas and speak freely. Zhu Yinglong also wanted to settle this system. To reform, he naturally had to start from the inside.

At first, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others firmly disagreed with doing this, believing that this was contrary to the education of the saints, the superiors and inferiors, and the etiquette was incompatible with the etiquette, and firmly disagree with Zhu Yinglong's actions. In the end, both sides took a step back and set up a main seat at the roundtable meeting, with a slightly higher position. Only Zhu Yinglong could sit in this position, but no one else could sit, so they reluctantly agreed to sit down. Only Zhu Yinglong smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that changing customs and customs could not be achieved overnight, and it had to be done slowly.

All the core personnel were all here. This was the first meeting of all internal personnel when Zhu Yinglong arrived in Kaifeng, and all the persons in charge of all aspects were here.

Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi reported to Zhu Yinglong about the preliminary preparations for the Military Academy and the Shadow Dragon Academy. Zhu Yinglong was naturally very satisfied with the work of the two great sages. He praised it a lot, and then started today's topics. Zhu Yinglong carefully prepared for today's meeting for a long time, and successively proposed a series of ideas for establishing Shadow Dragon Trading Company, Shadow Dragon Boat Tour, Shadow Dragon Printing House, Shadow Dragon Iron Artifacts Tour, Shadow Dragon Glass House, and Shadow Dragon Skills Museum. They suddenly shocked everyone present. They never thought that Zhu Yinglong would have such a huge plan. This is only part of it. There has not been any proposal on agriculture and military aspects!

What he proposed today is about business. Zhu Yinglong naturally knows the importance of guns, but what he needs most at the moment is talent and the other is money. Don’t talk about anything without money, so Zhu Yinglong needs money, a lot of money.

"The prince, the business, the ship shop, the printing shop, the glass shop are nothing, but this iron shop should be cautious. Private steel making is a serious crime!" Sun Chengzong said first and Xu Guangqi also agreed.

Zhu Yinglong knew their concerns, but in fact he was also worried. Steel has been operated by the state since ancient times, and making steel privately is equivalent to rebellion. He was not considering this aspect, so he nodded and said, "The two old men's concerns are reasonable. I won't discuss the matter of ironware for the time being, and I will talk about it later."

Shen Xi spoke: "Prince, although our Liuli Workshop has brought us huge profits, the prince has used most of the tenants and Jianyinglong Villa. Although there are large silver items every month, it is used faster than the purchase. The silver in the mansion is only more than 100,000 taels left. If the silver from Boguzhai comes up this month, it will be at most two million silver. The prince suddenly wants to set up a commercial bank, a ship shop, a printing shop, and a Liuli Workshop. I am afraid that the money will not be enough!"

Zhu Yinglong lowered his head and thought for a moment, and asked, "Don't we have more than 1.5 million taels? Why are there only more than 100,000 left in just a few days?"

"Your Majesty, according to your intention, your fiefdom is mostly for people who have no land or have poor families to farm. In this way, our early resettlement costs, purchasing seeds, farm tools, and their meals in the next few months will be paid for in the royal palace. This item will cost more than 500,000 taels of silver. It will cost more than 200,000 taels of silver to burn bricks, cement and other building materials. You set the craftsmen's work so high, and the cost is not small. Although these expenses have not been spent now, the prince stipulates that it is not allowed to be misappropriated. The prince allocates 400,000 taels of silver to Mr. Sun and Mr. Xu at one time to search for talents and prepare for the construction of military academies and academies. Although the external work of the Shadow Dragon Garden has been suspended, the internal decoration has not been stopped. I spend money every day and cannot be stopped. The prince stipulates that it is dedicated to use. Although there is a silver, it cannot be withdrawn." Chen Xi explained.

It turned out that there was money, but I just let myself get stuck in one sentence. The sad face of my eyebrows spread out and said, "So that's it. The income from Boguzhai this month will be sent over quickly. I didn't want to establish these things at once. This is just my idea, and I have to do it step by step. Brother Chen, don't worry too much."

Chen Xi thought about it and was right. He thought about it a little one-sidedly, and these things were not something that could be done at once, so he stopped talking.

The atmosphere gradually became warmer. Everyone spoke, gathered ideas, quickly passed all Zhu Yinglong's proposals, and revised many shortcomings. Then they unanimously passed Chen Xi, the head of Yinglong Trading Company, Tian Wan, the head of the ship shop, Shi Kefa, the head of the printing workshop, and Tian Shuying, the head of Liulifang. All four of them were responsible for the Concubine of King Xin, Zhou Yingning. In other words, all of the financial powers of King Xin were captured by Zhou Yingning. This is not only Zhu Yinglong's trust in her, but also established the prestige of her concubine. The snake was not good at headless. Although Zhu Yinglong was impartial to the three girls, he could not have no head, otherwise, the family would not be stable.

After the meeting ended, Zhu Yinglong was planning to keep Zhou Huaian and Xiong Zhaolian to discuss the situation about the construction of the shadows. Suddenly, Wang Chengen took Cui Chengxiu's famous sting and said that he was asking him to walk on the snow to visit Liangyuan. Zhu Yinglong couldn't guess what Cui Chengxiu suddenly asked him to go to Liangyuan's gourds, and wanted to refuse, but after another thought, he decided to go. Cui Chengxiu didn't dare to do anything to him now. He was a prince after all. Even if Wei Zhongxian wanted to get rid of himself, he would have a legitimate charge, so he decided to go and take a look.

Liangyuan, also known as Rabbit Garden, is the imperial garden of Liu Wu, the youngest son of Emperor Xiaowen of Han. Before the Han Dynasty, it was already a very famous historical site. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shi Kuang, a great musician in Jin State, once played music here, so the "Flowing Platform" ancient sites were passed down in later generations. King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, built pavilions and towers with "Flowing Platform" as the axis, built ape, rock, dragon and cave, raised rare birds and beasts, planted pine, cypress and tung bamboo, etc., and Liangyuan is no longer as in the past, but many historical sites are still there, becoming a must-visit place for literati and poets to visit Kaifeng. The red shadow dragon is plagued by miscellaneous things. I have long heard that Kaifeng has many famous scenic spots and historical sites, but I have no chance to visit. Today, I can visit the famous Liangyuan in the world through the snow. I really want to thank our governor, Mr. Cui Chengxiu.

When Zhu Yinglong went out, the heavy snow had already stopped for a long time. He didn't bring many people, just Wang Chengen, himself, and a total of three people who drove the carriage and one carriage left Kaifeng City.

Liangyuan is three miles southeast of the suburbs of Kaifeng, adjacent to the Yuwang Temple. Among the eight scenic spots of Kaifeng, "Liangyuan Snow Ridge" refers to this place. Snow Ridge means that the wind and snow stop, the clouds and mist dissipate, and the weather is clear. A poem praises:

The Rabbit Garden is refreshing and the scenery is refreshing,

Sweep away all the dust in Yingzhou.

Yushu Qionglin three hundred miles,

Qihua Yao grass has a spring.

Young Master Diao Qiu welcomes the spring drunk,

The Iron Horse General is out of the list.

Seeing that the saying of Xiangru can be used as a fu,

Wang Men gave Jian Guanyun.

However, the Yellow River often bursts its dams. After several floods, the palaces, pavilions, rare birds and strange rocks, beautiful mountains and rivers, elegant buildings and precious flowers and plants were all gone, leaving only a desolate and some ancient sites that future generations pay tribute to them. For example, the blowing platform. Many celebrities in history have visited the former site of Liangyuan. For example, the great poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi, together, climbed the blowing platform, which became a legend in literary history. Cui Chengxiu invited him to visit Liangyuan, what is the profound meaning of his invitation to visit Liangyuan? He believed that Cui Chengxiu would not invite him, a vassal king, to go out of the city for a snowy day, to visit Liangyuan. It must have another purpose.

"Henan governor Cui Chengxiu meets the prince!" Cui Chengxiu had been waiting in Liangyuan for a long time. When he saw Zhu Yinglong's carriage arrive, he hurriedly took Chen Jiuxuan, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, to welcome him.

Zhu Yinglong came out of the carriage and saw Cui Chengxiu's face. He looked up and saw that there was a white area everywhere, and said with an unhappy look: "Mr. Cui, are you kidding? In such a cold day, I actually asked me to come to this place outside the suburbs where birds don't poop?"

"Your Majesty, this snowy scene in Liangyuan is one of the rare magnificent scenes in the world. If the prince doesn't see it, it's not too late to blame the officials." Cui Chengxiu hurriedly greeted with a smile.

"Oh, I have been busy building villas recently, and have never visited Kaifeng in detail. I have already taken root here. If someone asks me, I will not be too embarrassed to be unfamiliar with my hometown. Lord Cui, please lead the way!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

Cui Chengxiu was a little shocked. It was not like what a foolish person said. It was obviously normal. It was no longer normal. The factory asked me to further test whether the King of Xin was really stupid or pretended to be stupid, or sometimes he was awake and sometimes stupid. But when Zhu Yinglong arrived in Kaifeng, he married his wife like a young wife. He didn't go out of the door and didn't step in the second door. He didn't see him several times. He didn't know the fact that King of Xin was really stupid and could not complete the task assigned by Wei Zhongxian. He might never go back to Beijing again. It happened that the first heavy snowfall in Kaifeng made him find such an excuse to invite King of Xin to walk on the snow and visit Liangyuan. He had no choice but to try it out. However, he didn't know that King of Xin really accepted the invitation. Then he took Chen Jiuxuan and rode to the front to wait.

"Mr. Cui, I heard that Liangyuan is also known as Rabbit Garden. Did you have a rabbit?" Zhu Yinglong had already received news that Xiong Zhaolian's shadow had played a role and bribed a clerk in Cui Chengxiu's mansion. Halfway through, he secretly passed on the incident of Cui Chengxiu riding out of the city. Zhu Yinglong almost guessed Cui Chengxiu's thoughts and asked this on purpose.

Cui Chengxiu was stunned and suddenly stunned. He never expected that King Xin would ask such a question. He was arrogant and talented, knowledgeable. He really didn't know how to answer such an idiotic question. When he drove, Prince Xin was still stupid, sometimes he was not good. He was shocked just now and hurriedly said, "Prince, this Liangyuan is the imperial garden of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, not a garden for raising rabbits."

"Oh, so that's it. I also heard that there is an ancient blowing platform in Liangyuan, which is famous far and wide. Where is it now? Take me to take me to see it?" Zhu Yinglong had a Shi Kefa around him. Why didn't he know that the Yuwang Temple had been built on the blowing platform in Liangyuan, and the main hall was built. The bronze statue of Dayu, which was renamed the Yuwangtai, and the Three Sages Temple was built, and the three men of Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi were built to commemorate the grand event of the Three Sages' gathering at Daliang. It was just that his false and real wish was to make Cui Chengxiu mistakenly think that he was sometimes demented and sometimes normal.

"Prince, please see, this is the bronze statue of Dayu." Under Cui Chengxiu's leadership, Zhu Yinglong and others came to the Yuwang Temple and stood in front of Dayu's bronze statue. Then they heard Cui Chengxiu talk about the allusion of Dayu's flood control. Chen Jiuxuan next to him interjected a few words from time to time, which was very beautiful.

Faced with Dayu, who was unable to enter the house for three attempts to control water, Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt respect in his heart. It was this great water control expert who discovered the truth that blocking was better than being loose, which became the standard for water conservancy masters in China. How could such a great achievement not make Zhu Yinglong respect him?

Li Bai, Du Fu and Gao Shi, these three great writers are also worthy of admiration, but Zhu Yinglong only admires them. Poetry and prose can only be pleasant to express feelings. This is just a cultural heritage, but it does not help much to what he is doing now. No matter how good the poetry is done, it cannot be turned into food in a bowl and fills the belly of the people. Therefore, poetry and prose are not suitable for him now, so he hastily looked at it and then came out.

The snow scene in Liangyuan is indeed magnificent. Standing on the ancient blowing platform, you can see the entire Liangyuan. The path hidden by flowers and trees in the past has been melted into the wind and snow at this moment. The holly green and uneven trees are already hanging on the ice. Suddenly a gust of cold wind blows, Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt the artistic conception of Mr. Dongpo's "Jade Tower, jade, high places, high places, high places, cold, he is in such a cold place! This is fate. He is powerless to break him, he can only change it and conquer it. Zhu Yinglong has a fire in his heart, burning his confidence. Ten, twenty years, even fifty, and one hundred years, he will change his destiny and change the fate of this disaster-stricken Han nation!

"Your birthday is the 24th next month. The factory man asked the subordinates to ask what the prince plans to do?" Cui Chengxiu asked carefully.

"Why did Lord Cui know about my birth date?" Zhu Yinglong asked in his heart.

"This is what the factory man told the officials." Cui Chengxiu said in a flattering face. Zhu Yinglong knew that this face was not aimed at him, but at Wei Zhongxian in the capital.

"Mr. Cui, please go back to the factory. I thank you for your concern. As for my birthday, I haven't thought about it yet. What should I say in a few days?" Zhu Yinglong himself forgot his birthday. It's a coincidence. His birthday is also the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. This can be regarded as a comfort for him in another world!
