At the busy Quanzhou Port Wharf, Zheng He was the first to get off the ship. While observing the ever-changing Quanzhou Port with Jin Jiang, he carefully stared at the soldiers and unloaded boxes of goods brought back from the sea boat.

Originally, according to Zheng He's identity, there was no need to watch him personally. Jin Jiang also advised Zheng He, but the latter said he was unwilling to leave.

The main reason is that the goods brought back on the ship this time are really too expensive.

Have you heard of grain yielding thousands of kilograms per mu?

At least Zheng He has never heard of it, this is ten times smaller than the grain yield per mu of Daming.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and food is the fate of the people and the root of the country.

Although in addition to these high-yield plants, Zheng He also brought back a large number of other edible crops in the Americas such as peppers and peanuts, as well as cocoa, rubber, etc. Whether it is useful or not, Zheng He brought back a large number of all the local specialties he could find.

Including the local natives who have been cultivated and cultivated, they specially arrested a group of people.

These are all crucial wealth in Zheng He's eyes, so how dare you be careless?

As the supervision was tight, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him. Looking back, he looked at the coming carriage in confusion.

Jin Jiang, who was beside him, recognized him with sharp eyes and said something to Zheng He.

"This is the car of our Quanzhou magistrate Zhu Meikun."

Zhu Meikun?

Zheng He frowned. If you remember correctly, before leaving Beijing, Meikun, the second son of the King of Jin, had nothing outstanding. He had been in Quanzhou for only three years as a prefectural prefect?

It was not until the Zhu Meikun, who was in Jin Jiang's mouth, walked out of the car, that Zheng He opened his eyes wide in shock and suddenly realized.

The second prince Zhu Wenqi.

"Meikun."

Since Zhu Wenqi performed his duties as someone else, it was obviously the emperor's arrangement, and Zheng He knew that he went up to greet him politely, but did not call out Zhu Wenqi's identity.

But the latter had already stepped forward and grabbed Zheng He's hand.

"Uncle Zheng, you're back."

Uncle Zheng really made Zheng He feel hot.

The heart in my chest that was slightly chilled because of Zhu Gaosui's death warmed a lot.

"Dian, Meikun."

Zheng He grinned: "I have grown up so old and have become the magistrate of Quanzhou. I am really promising."

"The wind in the port is strong, Uncle Zheng let's talk in the car."

Zhu Wenqi didn't even look at Jin Jiang beside him, and excitedly pulled Zheng He into the car. Zheng He was dragged with a wry smile: "Meikun, this batch of goods is very important, I have to arrange it to feel at ease."

"That's a big deal."

Zhu Wenqi refused to accept it and said, "There are your soldiers in the port and the yamen to the yamen to our port. What other accidents can happen? Let's relax. Let's go back to the city first and have a few drinks tonight."

"Don't you hear that Liang Daoyi is coming? Don't you show your face to meet?"

After all, as the prefect of Quanzhou, although it is an occasion where you can go or not, it is a perfect match for the landlord when you show your face to entertain him. If Liang Daoyi is cautious in his words, he always seems that Zhu Wenqi does not understand etiquette.

"He doesn't have any such thing as Uncle Zheng."

Zhu Wenqi didn't care: "Let him go to the Ministry of Rites to complain. Uncle Zheng doesn't know anything about it now. The current Minister of Rites is my eldest brother."

Zheng He was stunned at first, and then laughed.

This is really a rush of time. I never thought that the two little guys who were chattering around me and asking for gifts were now all in prominent positions.

One is the Minister of Rites and the Prime Minister of Quanzhou, but it is really amazing.

After sitting in the car and sighing, Zheng He suddenly remembered something that was very important, looked at Zhu Wenqi who was still muttering, and asked in a low voice.

"Second Your Highness, can you make a crown prince now?"

Think about it, both princes have reached such a high position, and further down, what identities should they all be?

Join the cabinet as a Grand Secretary?

Zhu Wenqi, who was still chattering endlessly, was stunned, and then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No."

But then sighed: "But this is good. In the past, I didn't understand my father's arrangements, but I just thought that my elder brother and I couldn't catch my father's eyes. Now I understand my father's good intentions when I'm old.

Since taking office in Quanzhou, the work of millions of creatures in Quanzhou has been on my shoulders. I have a deep understanding of the feeling of being a prefect in Fengyang when my elder brother was now.

There was a prefect of Quanzhou named Chen Tianzheng. He said something that I felt particularly touched. He said that he became the prefect of Quanzhou and was the first person in charge of Quanzhou's development.

People have to worry about food, drink, development, prosperity, livelihood, and work, that's really tiring.

Now it's my turn to be the prefect of Quanzhou. Isn't this the first person responsible for me? I can't sleep for three hours every day and marry a wife. Instead, I stayed together for a long time before getting married. In that situation, I can still go shopping in Nanjing to eat some delicious food. Now, except for the holidays, I can't get enough time to take my children with me, and I can't get out of the rest of the days."

Zheng He was silent and suddenly understood the emperor's painstaking efforts to make such arrangements.

As the crown prince, both sons must be in line with the emperor's thoughts.

What is the emperor's thought?

‘I will have no self and live up to the people.’

Then, no matter whether it is true or false, the two sons must reach this level of thinking and reflect it in their work.

Once you do this at work and continue to do so, a habit will be formed in your mind.

It means you have to worry about the people all the time.

The kind of effort you have will be given the kind of feedback.

Sooner or later, the two of them will be made public to the world, and that is, the praise of the people.

The character has been established.

No matter who succeeds to become the emperor, he will always continue to be so kind to the people. There will be no tyrants who harm the people and will harm the people.

It eliminates the risk of psychological distortion that may be caused by brothers' struggles. Once the latter took office, he will be in office and be in power.

What surprised Zheng He even more was the words below Zhu Wenqi.

"I am so tired of being an official. How tired it is to be an emperor with my father. I will take on the country one by one. It looks so glorious. I am afraid of the pain and loneliness in my mind. The position of the crown prince, I will give to anyone my father wants. I am in Quanzhou. I am satisfied with watching the people get more and more nourished. If I don't become the crown prince, I will resign early in the future and accompany my daughter-in-law and children with peace of mind."

Is this what Zhu Wenqi can say?

Zheng He looked at Zhu Wenqi in a daze, not knowing whether this was true or false in his heart.

"A person who can carry a family is called a real man, and a master of Qingtian is called a country that can carry a place of people's livelihood. A country that can carry is called an emperor."

Zhu Wenqi's lips were bitter: "Many people, but they can't even be a real man. Don't look at the people of Quanzhou who praise me as a good official. To be honest, I don't want to be such a good official anymore. I feel guilty towards my wife and children.

Sometimes I often stay in the office until late at night, but I just can’t even sleep in the office. I feel so tired that I feel wronged and distressed, but no one can say it. Only Uncle Zheng, you are back, I can say a few words to you.

The wife can’t be said, and the father can’t be said. As for my mother, she is exactly the same as my wife. She likes to say my father’s words back then, and it’s precisely now that my wife says my words, hahaha.”

Looking at Zhu Wenqi's hearty laughter, Zheng He also laughed.

The smart child back then could already understand what responsibility was and shoulder the responsibility of his life.

Really mature.
