After hearing what Ye Fei said, Xia Jing immediately ordered him: "You go find a place to stay nearby, and we will go and watch the excitement."

"Queen, what's the point of joining in the fun? These madmen are running on the street just to cause a sensation. They want to make themselves the most eye-catching person in the capital before spring." Li Jingfu disagreed with joining in the fun. , because he thought that these people were disheveled, which was really indecent.

But who is Ye Fei?
He is the captain of Xia Jing's personal guard. Strictly speaking, he only needs to listen to Xia Jing's words. Therefore, Li Jingfu has nothing to do if he disagrees. After receiving the order, Ye Fei turned around and ordered the following personal guards to follow Xia Jing's orders. Ask for something to be done.

Not long after, Ye Fei took Xia Jing and Li Jingfu into a private room on the third floor of a teahouse. Standing in front of the window facing the street on the third floor, everything happening on the street below was clearly visible.

Li Jingfu stood by the window and looked down: "Huh! This is too eye-catching!"

The madman downstairs took off his clothes and ran wildly back and forth on the street. In the windy autumn, Li Jingfu admired his good eyesight. He could even see clearly the madman's leg hair rippling in the wind.

He turned his head and looked, okay!

The queen was watching with wide eyes.

"These people have nothing to do after they are full. They take off their clothes and run wildly on the street. It is really a deteriorating world and immoral!" Li Jingfu pulled Xia Jing away from the window with a dark face.

Xia Jing looked up and saw that Li Jingfu's stinky face was extremely dark. She was slightly stunned, but then she realized that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She withdrew her hand, sat down, took the tea prepared by the maid, took a sip, and echoed: "It is indeed immoral! They have the nerve to show off their bodies like chickens for everyone to appreciate. Dayu should promote health To be beautiful, a man’s body should be strong, just like the bodies of soldiers in the military camp!”

That kind of figure full of vitality makes a woman's blood boil when she looks at it!
"puff!"

"Cough cough."

Li Jingfu spurted out all the tea he had just drank. He choked and coughed violently. Anu was so frightened that he hurriedly gave him some relief, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

After finally stopping his coughing, he waved his hand, and Anu retreated from his position.

Li Jingfu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes stayed on Xia Jing's face with the same appearance, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

Xia Jing picked up the tea cup and lowered her head to drink tea, hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth.

Glancing at Xia Jing who was drinking tea, Li Jingfu didn't dare to preach to her. He rolled his eyes and noticed Ye Fei standing beside him.

Ye Fei was tall and tall, young and energetic. He could tell at a glance that he had a good figure that looked slim when he was wearing clothes and had a lot of body when he was undressing. Somehow, thinking about this, Li Jingfu felt inexplicably angry.

"What are you doing there? I don't know how to ask the teahouse to stock up on your master's favorite snacks!"

Ye Fei looked confused, but when he mentioned the cakes, he still answered, turned around, opened the door and went out.

After the others left, Xia Jing stood up and came to the window again. Li Jingfu stared and wanted to say something, but Xia Jing turned back and said before he could speak: "These scholars dare to be so arrogant and have money and leisure. They are living like this on two My legs are so tired from running, but if I had a bicycle, it would be even more exciting."

Li Jingfu swallowed back what he wanted to say and asked, "What other crazy idea have you come up with?"

"There were a total of twenty bicycles produced by the War Bureau last time, and six of them were kept in the palace. I want to auction the rest. The highest bidder will win. The money from the auction can be used to build bicycles. factory."

Li Jingfu knew that dudes like to compare, but he still said stubbornly: "Sixteen cars are a lot, how can you be sure that they will bid?"

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing asked: "You have stayed in Jiankang for so long. Don't say you don't know that extravagance has long been a trend in Jiangnan, and literati are the ones who like to follow the trend the most. On the day of rest, we made an appointment for three Five friends, all riding bicycles together for an outing, not to mention it’s really a unique artistic conception.”

Isn’t it right that these literati like to gather together to enjoy the scenery and recite poems?

"Are you prepared to take responsibility for this yourself?"

Xia Jing shook her head: "The third child in the family likes to make money the most, so it is best to leave this matter to him."

After listening to her words this time, Li Jingfu rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "You are treating Lao San like a donkey. You just handed over the machine factory to him, but now you are planning to give him another task. He is busy." Do you have to come over?”

"No matter how many things he is good at, there are not many things. He can handle them with twice the result with half the effort. Those who are capable should work harder." Xia Jing believes that doing the things he is good at is a kind of enjoyment, so there is no need to worry about it.

These scholars on the street are actually acting like clowns here, and they are not just for fame. They may not be famous for their studies, so they can only find supplements in other places. Then they set up this poetry club and run away after winning the competition. They just don’t know what to do. How much money did you pay to have someone ghostwrite the winning poem?
Whether you are famous for studying or for other things, if you are famous, you will naturally have benefits.

It’s just that those who can read books well and gain recognition from the world are rare after all.

There is no need to ask the few people running wildly on the street now. The onlookers definitely know their names. Wouldn’t this make them famous all over the world?

Ahem, although the scope is a bit smaller, it is still famous to them!
Li Chengli inexplicably received another mission from Xia Jing, perhaps inspired by the madman.

After receiving the task assigned to him by Xia Jing, he organized a group of people who could ride bicycles and took four out of the sixteen bicycles in the palace to form a team of ten people and let them ride bicycles every day. Riding a bicycle and holding a banner around the streets of Beijing was a way to promote the bicycle auction in advance and to show the world the magical bicycles.

A bicycle that has no energy or power and can walk by itself as long as people pedal on it.

In the following days, whether they went to the streets frequently or stayed at home, people in the capital knew about bicycles.

A bicycle that can walk on its own has naturally attracted many people from the capital to watch.

People all have a herd mentality and prefer to join in the fun.

Ten young and handsome -year-olds rode bicycles through the streets of the capital. No matter what, it was a pleasing sight.

What's more, there are dozens of handsome guys running behind the ten bicycles.

Such a scene made even the lady from the aristocratic family sitting in the teahouse drinking tea feel like screaming.

In the past year, with the relocation of the imperial court, the Gyeonggi area has become more and more lively. The train race, which was very popular some time ago, has become the first choice for the wealthy young men in the capital.

Some people win a lot of money through this kind of competition, and some people lose everything and almost lose even their underwear in the end.

Now that handsome young men are running on the streets of the capital, how can we prevent the people of the capital from judging these people?

"Oh, who organized this run? It's the best way to wash your eyes. You haven't noticed that my eyes are getting brighter and brighter these days."

"Sisters, look at the little brother running in third. His legs are really long. Look how energetic he is when he runs!"

"He's the oldest one. What I like to see the most is the guy riding a bicycle in the front. Look at his long legs. He rides the bicycle so vigorously that the bicycle is covered by him. Stepping on Hot Wheels gives you a sense of instant vision!”

"Oh, I just don't know whose family these young men belong to, whether they have a wife or not, whether they are engaged or not. If not, if they don't, it would be really profitable to bring one of them back as a son-in-law!"

"You are daydreaming. I know these handsome young men. I heard they are invincible warriors from the Gyeonggi Camp. Ordinary girls really can't control them!"

"Speaking of control and lack of control, women turn into water and melt them. No matter how hard the bones are, they will turn into soft bones!" "Old woman, listening to your words, it seems that you are quite experienced. Since you are so experienced, why? Your man has a little money and finds two or three concubines?"

"Ha ha."

Don't speak out to expose others' shortcomings, but those who expose others' shortcomings are usually enemies.

No, soon there were screams and curses from the crowd watching the excitement on the roadside. The two people who had been joking just for a moment ended up fighting each other, refusing to give in to each other.

Come on, hurt each other!

Xia Jing sneaked out and stood by the second-floor window facing the street, watching the lively scene below with admiration in her heart.

"I didn't expect the third child to have such a flexible mind and come up with such an idea!"

This is very different from the street propaganda of later generations.

However, such a lively scene also reminded Xia Jing of the sports competitions of later generations.

"Ye Fei, the capital hasn't been this lively for a long time, right?"

Ye Fei glanced out the window and said: "There is no shortage of excitement in the capital. Trains are opening, engineering colleges are enrolling students, horses and trains are racing, victorious troops are offering prisoners, sacrifices are being made to martyrs, members of the east of the city are stealing widows from the south of the city, etc. It can be said that There is so much excitement in the capital that I can’t finish it all at once!”

"The capital is actually so lively?"

Xia Jing looked at the street below the window in shock. What a pain in the ass!
This world is so wonderful, but she spends all day in the palace as a canary. It's so boring!
-
In the eyes of the Westerners, the East is a country full of gold.They traveled thousands of miles and sailed for several months to the East. Their initial wish was to dig out gold and transport it back.

As for the Dayu people in the East, their purpose of going to sea was also to hope that they could bring back more wealth than they could spend in a lifetime.

Not to mention Xia Jing's vulgarity, she went to sea just for overseas wealth. Of course, whether the wealth is gold, silver, iron, copper and other minerals, or land, people and materials, they are all wealth to her.

Li Jingfu was curious about overseas affairs, so he announced at the last court meeting at the end of the year that he would pass the throne to Crown Prince Li Chengmu, while he remained behind the scenes as the emperor.

Once the emperor and his courtiers supported Li Jingfu, the courtiers who had just gained a lot of benefits from the emperor quit.

Their small team came out to dissuade him, but it was clear that Li Jingfu was determined to pass on the throne. No matter how you tried to persuade him, he was indifferent.

In his words: "I am almost in my sixtieth year, how long do I have in my life? Passing the throne to the new emperor in my old age is to be responsible to Dayu, to myself, and to relieve myself of the burden of the world. For the rest of my life, I will You can live for yourself and be willful for yourself, what's wrong?"

"Does it mean that my biography must be approved by you?"

This question made the courtiers lower their heads. Who among them dares to do it, the emperor's master?

No one who is not tired of living dares to answer this sentence.

After Li Chengmu succeeded to the throne, Xia Jing revealed the news of preparing to go to sea. Those who wanted to form a private fleet of Dayu could apply to the fleet parked in the port. After passing the review, only those who meet the conditions would agree and notify them to prepare. .

Of course, these are small private forces, and those who are truly powerful at sea, Xia Jing has already sent people to invite them.

For example, the Lan family in Lingnan is mainly engaged in maritime trade.

As soon as Xia Jing's invitation letter was sent to the Lan family in Lingnan, the head of the Lan family, Lan Jianlan, the second master, agreed without saying a word and made preparations for the trip.

In fact, it was said that we would go to sea after the New Year, but it was already February of the third year of Jianyuan.

Li Chengmu is basically under control of the government, and the situation of all parties has been almost straightened out. If the normal plan is implemented, Dayu will not have any problems.

Jinwei Port.

There are no less than a hundred ships docked on the sea.

On the shore, Li Chengli came to see off the new emperor on behalf of the new emperor. He looked at Li Chengyi who was standing next to him, "Fourth, take care of our father and mother for the rest of the voyage."

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I will take good care of them."

Li Jingfu wholeheartedly followed Xia Jing to go out to sea, but when it came time to board the ship, he still felt a lot of reluctance for this land, but he didn't dare to let this emotion out for fear that his son, who was standing opposite to persuade him, would stop him at all costs. He went to sea.

He waved his hand and said: "Stop being sensationalistic here and go back to run your factory. The auspicious time for our trip is coming soon."

Li Chengli: "."

Okay, parting doesn't mean goodbye forever. He is a grown man and doesn't want to be petty. It's just that life is like a play. In order to show the kindness of a father and the filial piety of a son, he can only show his acting skills.

"Okay, in order not to delay the auspicious time, father, emperor and mother, you should hurry up and board the ship. My son, I wish you a safe journey and peace!"

Xia Jing smiled and waved to him. What needed to be explained had already been done. When they parted, there seemed to be nothing to say.

More than 100 ships went out to sea, and the spectacular sight was unforgettable. Li Chengli watched the fleet slowly leave the port, and sighed in his heart: "Dayu has become truly powerful!"

On the line between sea and sky, Li Chengyi looked at the blue sea and asked Xia Jing: "Queen mother, where should we go first?"

After hearing the question, Li Jingfu was also very curious. He knew that the fleet would go to Nanyang, but he didn't know the specific first stop.

Xia Jing glanced at them, raised her chin slightly and said, "We have just gone to sea. Let's go to Haojing'ao to collect some rent and then give some allowances to the crew members on our ship. What do you think?"

Li Jingfu knew that the Xiyi people were stationed in Haojing Ao. Now that the grasslands of eastern Liaoning, western Liaoning and the north have belonged to Dayu, Dayu's Haojing Ao had to pay rent. There was nothing wrong with Xia Jing's words.

"I have no objection, why not do something along the way!"

However, not long after the fleet sailed, Li Jingfu and his son, who were full of arrogance at the beginning, were like freshly sprouted buds, suddenly losing their water and wilting.

"How are you two?"

Xia Jing looked at the father and son lying back in the cabin. Their faces were pale, and even their lips had lost their color.

Li Chengyi smiled bitterly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while. Ugh."

"Shut up."
