Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

"I think it's OK, but I like cold food these days, but I can't eat too much. It's very depressing."

Xu picked up the fan beside her and fanned herself a few times before she felt a little better.

According to Yao Niang, she is now experiencing symptoms that occur before and after her menstruation.

That is to say, as you age, the Chong and Ren meridians become weak, the kidney Qi gradually weakens, the Gui water stops flowing, and the essence and blood are insufficient.

There is no good way, you can only drink calming soup and keep a happy mood.

After a year or so, your body will get used to it.

"My mother doesn't seem to have it yet."

Zhang Xin just met Bao two days ago.

The old couple of the Zhang family first followed him to the capital, and later followed him to the capital. They were both in good health.

"Yao Niang said that it depends on the person. We have to overcome each hurdle one by one. It can't be the same for everyone."

Xu thought it was not surprising that Bao had no symptoms yet.

Old Man Zhang takes good care of the family and loves his children, so the Zhang family doesn't have many troubles. Bao has always lived a good life. She is now fifty years old and still has her period.

The Neijing "Suwen Shanggu Tianzhen Lun" says that women are at 7, 27, 37, 47, and 77 as Kan, while men are at 8, 28, 38, 48, and 88 as Kan.

A normal woman will enter the menopause stage when she reaches the age of 49.

I will feel bad, irritable, unable to sleep, and unable to sleep soundly.

It’s similar for men when they reach the age of 88.

Yao Niang said frankly that since ancient times, many women have not lived to this age because of their worries and hard work, as well as their lack of careful care after giving birth. As for men, they have to bear the responsibilities of the household, support their wives and children, and take care of their parents, and many of them do not live to be 64.

Therefore, this symptom is rarely mentioned even in ancient medical books.

But it’s not a big deal. As long as you sleep normally at night, it’s not surprising to live to eighty or ninety years old.

"When I think about what my mother said about men having this problem, I find it very funny."

Zhang Xin covered her mouth and laughed.

"We are all human beings. Otherwise, why would most of the children born after the previous emperor be in poor health?"

Xu was very worried about Princess Baoqing's health.

At that time, those brothers-in-law who had not yet been granted fiefdoms would invite the imperial physician every now and then.

It seems that things have only gotten better in recent years.

"Yeah, too."

Zhang Xin has more experience than Xu. Not only is her health poor, but in her previous life, several people in their twenties died.

"Okay, let's have dinner. They should have had enough of their new toys."

"Yes, mother."

After dinner, we gathered in the tea room to drink tea.

As soon as Xu gave Zhu Di a brief account of Zhang Xin's idea, he immediately understood.

To put it bluntly, it is just occupying territory in the name of trade.

If people are willing.

He doesn't need to think about it.

Just rush.

If necessary, 5,000 troops can be stationed in one place.

Even if all twenty-three places were required, there would still be less than 120,000 people.

During the past ten years, the population has increased rapidly, there is an adequate supply of ordinary soldiers, and the Imperial College has also trained many centurions and thousand-man army officers.

People are ready-made.

Moreover, our Ming Dynasty does not take advantage of others.

The garrison troops do not need supplies from others in the local area, they can open up wasteland and grow food to feed themselves, isn't this a legitimate way to occupy more land?

"My Lord, look, look, my wife is a hundred times better than my son! She quietly took up space for our Zhu family, and she even offered money to beg for it. Learn from her. She is not good at anything, but she is the best at eating!"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi.

It's summer now, and both Xu and he are feeling a bit miserable. Xu seems to be having a hard time eating anything lately.

But Zhu Gaochi could still eat three bowls of rice every day. It was simply unfair!

"Then I will quit my job tomorrow, son."

Zhu Gaochi put down his teacup and made a gesture to leave.

"Hey, go ahead and hang up. If they have something to do, they will have to look for you. Xin'er, don't pull him. He's spoiled..."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi's hand as he reached out to Zhang Xin stealthily with disdain.

"This eye must be poisoned. How can it see everything?"

Zhu Gaochi sat down again in dismay.

"Hey, you're becoming more and more disrespectful! The Emperor makes it for you?!"

Zhu Di hooked his finger.

"Father, if you were to abdicate, I would take the throne immediately, as if no one dared to do so!"

Zhu Gaochi also showed some toughness for once.

"Humph, you are like this! I can eat you alive! You should wait until your son can take over the military power!"

Zhu Di did not look down on Zhu Gaochi.

This is the actual situation. Zhu Gaochi has no prestige in the army. Everyone recognizes that he is a good prince, but it is hard to say whether they obey him or not in their hearts.

The civil officials also bullied Zhu Gaochi because he was easy to talk to and easily took advantage of.

"Well, I don't know how Xiaopang is doing in Liaodong."

Although he criticized his father, Zhu Gaochi still had a clear understanding of himself. He really needed to wait for Zhu Zhanji to fight a few battles.

The two old men of the Geng family and the Guo family passed away in the ninth year of Yongle.

The older generation in the military has almost retired.

He can use his father's people, but he can't control them as he pleases.

Now we just have to wait for the ones led by Zhu Zhanji to grow up and become the ones to rule the place.

"No news is good news."

Zhu Di was quite calm.

The configurations he gave Zhu Zhanji were all top-notch, so it was normal for him to win.

If they lose, it might be because he taught them incorrectly. He doesn't mind going into battle and teaching them again in person.

"Wait for the letter. Let's talk about something else. It's annoying to talk about national affairs every day."

Xu suggested.

Whenever the children were not around, the four of them always felt like they were having a court meeting.

"Oh, what does my wife want to hear?"

Zhu Di was very submissive to Xu.

"Just idle chat!"

Xu glared at Zhu Di and replied.

"Dahua (Xin'er), it's your turn!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Di waved their hands in tacit understanding and pointed at Zhang Xin.

"Well, the Weaving Bureau has come up with a new kind of fabric that imitates the tribute from Huozhou. It's really beautiful!"

Zhang Xin couldn't think of anything that belonged to small talk.

I'll just talk about what Haimao wants to do recently to make up the number.

"Floating Light Brocade?"

Xu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, mother."

Zhang Xin nodded.

"Is it done?"

Of course the Xu family knew about the tribute.

Chen Cheng, the Deputy Director of the Seal Verification Department of the Ministry of Personnel, was sent as an envoy to Huozhou last year and returned with envoys from Huozhou at the beginning of this year.

This small country with a population of only tens of thousands could be remembered by the Xu family only because of the pieces of floating brocade that were offered as tribute.

It is as light as mist, as thin as a cicada's wing, and the color on the surface changes with the light. When it is shaken, it sparkles and shimmers, dazzling to the extreme. Take a bucket of water and pour it on it, and the brocade will not be stained by any water, but all the water will turn into small water droplets and fall down cracklingly.

"Yeah, the yield is too low, and it's not as rainproof as the ones that people give as tribute."

Zhang Xin felt a little regretful.

After she saw the floating brocade, she took a piece to the weaving bureau to have it dismantled and imitated. But she never succeeded, and now that she finally succeeded, it still lacked the waterproof feature.

People from the Weaving Bureau said that Huozhou was the Gaochang Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, and that it had presented Fuguang brocade to the Tang Emperor.

According to records at the time, the silk used in Fuguang brocade was produced from silkworms specially raised in Gaochang State, and the dyeing process was also Gaochang State's. Both of these were secrets that were not passed on.

"Ask them again, as tribute every year."

Zhu Di made the decision. Since it was rare that Xu liked it, he asked Chen Cheng to go and ask for it again.

"Dad, your daughter-in-law wants to take it for sea trade."

Zhu Gaochi felt that he was once again defeated by his father. He could not applaud his father's love for his wife!

"Ah, then, the manager wants the recipe?"

Zhu Di didn't think it was a big deal.

"How about we also build a Ming Dynasty Huitong Hall?"

Zhang Xin covered her face.

Asking people for the weaving method that has been passed down for so many generations without being lost is like asking the Ming Dynasty to be a bully.

But if she were to build a Huitong Hall and cooperate with people in Huozhou, she would feel more comfortable.
