Thirty-six
Passing through the inn, Lin Yu bowed to Ruan Dacheng and said, "For the first time I entered the palace, the lower officials should take a shower and change clothes, and wear court clothes and face the saints. Please accept the lower officials to go to the inn for a shower and wash."
"This is the way to be a minister." Ruan Dacheng nodded and agreed.
Lin Yu asked again: "Xiaguan was just promoted to the fourth rank yesterday and has not had any court ward yet, so please ask Mr. Ruan to worry."
Ruan Dacheng nodded: "General Lin will come in and wash. I will wait in the palace and ask the people from the Ministry of Rites to send you a dress of court clothes."
"Thank you, Mr. Ruan!" Lin Yu bowed and thanked.
Ruan Dacheng took his entourage straight to the Forbidden City, leaving Wei Guangdong and his party waiting at the entrance of the inn, as if they were accidentally slipped away by Lin Yu.
The inns in the capital are different from small places. They are elegant and unique in construction, with flying eaves and corners, luxurious decoration in the rooms, exquisite supplies, and without having to pay out of your own pocket, Lin Yu finally enjoys the comfort of public funds for consumption.
The water in the bath room had been mixed and the mist was misty. Lin Yu refused Li Wei's service and asked him to wait outside the door.
I just washed it once the night before, and Lin Yu was not obsessed with cleanliness, so he just made an excuse to settle down and prepared to give Zhu Yousong some meeting gifts.
Although Zhu Yousong was an incompetent and foolish monarch in Lin Yu's heart, he was the emperor and the nominal monarch of the Ming Dynasty. If he pleased him, he would rise to the top, which was undoubtedly a shortcut to success.
"The first impression is crucial. I can't meet Zhu Yousong empty-handedly. The more mediocre people are, the more greedy they are. If there is a wise ruler, you will pay more attention to your talents."
Lin Yu sat cross-legged in front of the bathtub, clicked on the screen with the left palm to see the number of gold coins currently in possession: the lord currently has 275681 gold coins.
"Nanjing is such a good place. It increased by more than 40,000 gold coins in just a afternoon!"
This was just a carriage by myself. If Hou Fangyu could hype it all over the city, he would fool Zhu Yousong and lead all the civil and military officials to the riverside to welcome him. By then, there would be no people and crowds of people watching, and the gold coins in the warehouse would definitely soar like rockets.
"What can I give Zhu Yousong something to please him?"
Lin Yu clicked on the screen in the palm of his left hand again and entered the auxiliary store to find items that could impress Zhu Yousong.
I just received a random task released by the system on the north bank of the Yangtze River. As long as I upgraded to three levels within three days, I would earn one million gold coins. This is a considerable income, and it is also worth investing now.
Combat supplies, medical supplies, construction supplies, daily necessities, and transportation supplies - Lin Yu first browsed the five major categories and finally decided to start from daily necessities.
There are four categories of daily necessities: including food and beverage, jewelry, washing products, electronics and electrical appliances. The only thing that surprised Lin Yu was that there were no clothing products for sale. No wonder a lace bra dared to sell 10,000 gold coins!
Although soap and toothpaste are cheap, they are afraid that they will not impress Zhu Yousong. After all, these things have substitutes. Although the quality is incomparable, they are not shocking. Therefore, Lin Yu must carefully select a few things that are not in the world to offer them to Zhu Yousong.
"Is the mirror OK?"
Lin Yu's eyes swept to the round mirrors and glass products hanging on the wall. They were introduced to China from the West after Zheng He's voyage to the West. Although the quality is not as good as the products of the 21st century, it is not surprising in this era.
"Oh... this mirror would be valuable if it was placed before the Yuan Dynasty!"
Lin Yu continued to turn down with regret, Maotai, Jiannanchun, Wuliangye, Sprite, Coca-Cola...
"Wine is good wine, but I'm afraid Zhu Yousong may not be greedy for alcohol, so it's still not possible!"
Lin Yu entered the electronics and electrical category and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Haha... the things in it are good, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines..."
"However, the power is gone but it's all over!" Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, his eyes falling on a tablet computer.
BBQ tablet computer, 64G super large memory, built-in 200 movies, 100 TV series, charging for a super long standby time for 168 hours, and selling for 55,000 gold coins.
"It's it!"
Lin Yu slapped his thigh and made a decision without hesitation.
168 hours is equal to seven days. By then, I would have returned to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. Zhu Yousong would do whatever he wanted. Maybe he would beg him to repair it!
Lin Yu clicked to buy, then checked the material map, showing that it was 7 meters away from him, and it was placed in the closet behind him.
Lin Yu happily took it over and opened it to check it out. He saw that the movies inside include: Monster Hunting, Mermaid, Journey to the West, Demon Suffering, Wolf War, Operation Red Sea and other films from ancient and modern times. The TV series include classic dramas such as the Legend of the New White Snake, Journey to the West, Shanghai Beach, The Legend of Zhen Huan, and the Kangxi Dynasty.
"If Zhu Yousheng saw what happened in the Ming Dynasty, would he be suspicious? If he saw the tank, wouldn't he understand the origin of the armored vehicles?"
To be on the safe side, Lin Yu spent some time manually deleting the film and television dramas after the Ming Dynasty, and only retaining the dramas before the Ming Dynasty, so that there is no need to worry that Zhu Yousong will find the clues.
"Master, have you finished washing? The people from the Ministry of Rites have come to send court clothes!" Li Wei's voice sounded outside the door.
Lin Yu put the tablet in his arms and ordered: "Come in!"
The official uniform sent by the Ministry of Rites was a crimson-red ball-collar shirt, and the patch on the chest was embroidered with a majestic leopard, and a black hat and a tie were all available.
Lin Yu was dressed neatly in front of the mirror, holding a tablet computer, and walked out of the inn with a spirit. He said to Wei Guangdong, who had been waiting for a long time: "Commander Wei has been waiting for a long time!"
"Haha... General Lin was really energetic after changing into the official uniform!" Wei Guangdong praised and made a gesture of invitation.
As a great hero who repelled more than 100,000 Qing troops and defended Yangzhou, Lin Yu strided with his head, took out a domineering aura of no other than me, and followed Wei Guangdong straight for the Forbidden City.
The imperial palace in Nanjing was built by Zhu Yuanzhang. It is not inferior to that in terms of scale and momentum. From a distance, it looks like carved railings and jade, red walls and black tiles, and is magnificent. There are many armors and soldiers in front of the door, and the guard is very strict.
Lin Yu looked solemn, with his head raised and his chest raised, and his steps were like the wind. Under the gaze of the imperial guards, he crossed the Jinshui Bridge, passed the Meridian Gate, and then passed the Fengtian Gate, and went to the Fengtian Hall where the emperor was located to face the Saint.
The news that Lin Yu came to Nanjing to offer armored vehicles was already circulating in the Ming Dynasty Palace. The imperial guards along the way saw the majestic and righteous General Lin all looked sideways and showed admiration.
Zhu Yousong, wearing a crown on his head and wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sat in the middle of the hall. In addition to the four major cabinets including Ma Shiying, Zhang Shenyan, Liu Zongzhou, Gao Hongtu, dozens of high-ranking officials, including the newly inherited Duke of Wei, Wang Duo of the Ministry of Justice, Xiong Mingyu of the Ministry of Works, Qian Qianyi of the Right Minister of Rites, Jiang Yueguang of the Ministry of Revenue, and Lu Daqi of the Right Minister of War, were all separated on both sides.
"General Guangling Lin Zhenjiang asked for a visit!" A long and sharp shout of eunuchs sounded outside Fengtian Hall.
Thinking that the great hero who defeated Jiannu alone was about to appear in front of him, Zhu Yousong was inexplicably nervous and a little unnatural. He coughed and whispered: "Xuan!"
Sili eunuch Han Zanzhou held the whisk in his arms and shouted at the top of his throat: "General Xuan Guangling, Lin Zhenjiang, met with him!"
