Lao Zhu was very angry. His son would have to be the vassal king of the Mu Shou side in the future. He should be the king among men and the dragon among men. Unexpectedly, Zhu Su would leave such a big Zhuangzi and not take advantage of it.
He cried and became poor.
If Zhuangzi cannot govern well, how will he govern the country in the future?
Looking at his son, who has become more and more extraordinary in recent days, Lao Zhu actually feels that he hates the iron.
Zhu Su also began to reflect. Until now, he had only regarded the research on Zhuangzi as a springboard and a homework. He had never thought about settling down to do this. He had never thought about running Zhuangzi properly. He simply regarded Zhuangzi as a springboard and an assignment.
The land is used as a bargaining chip for favor.
After all, Zhuangzi is not his, it is just for him to live in temporarily.
"We will not allocate another person or one copper coin to you." Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Su with his eyes. "This Zhuangzi is your foundation. If you want money or people, just find a way by yourself."
"If you don't run the village well, don't even think about what you can do as Prince Xiaoyao. If you can't manage a village well, let's just..." I was going to throw Zhu Su into Fengyang High Wall, but suddenly I thought, isn't this
Following the son's wishes, he changed his words and said: "If you don't manage well, we will throw you directly into the cabinet to take up a position!"
"You have to read all the official documents and memorials that come and go before submitting them to us. They will annoy you to death!"
Hearing these words, Zhu Su trembled all over and almost broke out in a cold sweat. Lao Zhu's work is much easier now, but in fact most of the workload is borne by cabinet officials. I heard that the documents sent to the cabinet every day
There were so many memorials that two people were needed to carry them!
Although I have never heard of an example of a prince serving in the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu was the founding emperor! He wanted to reform and there was undoubtedly the least resistance. If he wanted the prince to serve in the cabinet, it was just a matter of words...
"Don't... I will manage it well! I will run it well!" Zhu Su quickly issued a military order.
"Since you let me run Zhuangzi, then... no matter how hard I try, will you allow it?" Seeing Lao Zhu's face softening slightly, Zhu Su asked anxiously.
"There is no need to address them so formally." Zhu Su helped the two of them up. "The Master said: "When three people are walking together, they must have me as their teacher. I am still young and not well educated, so how can I be a master? There is no need to really join my sect."
"How can that be done?" Fang Xiaoru looked serious. "Education has no age. Xiaoru is here because he sincerely wants to be a disciple of the master. This sincerity can be expressed in heaven and earth, and I can't not respect you sincerely."
Seeing Lao Zhu showing such true feelings, Zhu Su couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He secretly determined not to let the tragedy of Queen Ma's early death happen again.
"Nothing unusual has been found. Maybe there are no symptoms yet. I can only pay more attention in the future. Alas, she has a restless temper..." Speaking of Queen Ma, Lao Zhu showed a hint of worry on his face.
After inspecting the palace again, Lao Zhu was about to leave. Before leaving, he told Zhu Su to remember to visit Zhu Biao's mansion.
"Is there anything strange about your mother's body?"
After comforting the two of them for a while, they learned from the conversation that Fang Xiaoru had been tossing and turning for several nights because of the problems left by Zhu Su. In the end, he canceled his original trip and stayed here, just to learn from Zhu Su's knowledge.
"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved." With Lao Zhu's promise, Zhu Su let go of his heavy heart.
"Lao Wu! You should think of a way to let your brothers come to your village to hide and relax!" Zhu Di now simply regarded Zhu Su as a life-saving straw. Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't pay attention, he quickly ordered Zhu Su to divide the vassal states.
Zhu Su could solve this kind of problem by sealing off the territory, so the old man who just left the palace must have a way.
The worst thing is selling the land and taking the money and running away. The land on the outskirts of Yingtian City can be very profitable with a little speculation. Anyway, I don't feel bad about selling my land... Zhu Su thought very evilly.
"Then... at least don't call me master." Zhu Su wiped his sweat. The word "master" was really too neutral. He felt that he couldn't bear it.
"Your sister-in-law will give birth in a few days. Your mother is going to visit Biao'er's house today. Otherwise, she should come with us," Lao Zhu said.
"Of course!" Lao Zhu replied resolutely. This is a big place, and no matter how much Zhu Su tries, he can't change it.
"Fourth brother, just stay in the palace. I really can't do anything about this." Zhu Su quickly pushed Zhu Di and got into the carriage. He had planned his way out of the palace for a long time and finally had to show off the time traveler.
With his identity, how could he have the ability to bring Zhu Di and the others together?
"I should have summoned you when I first arrived. I only met you now because I was negligent." Zhu Su motioned for the two of them to sit down and serve tea.
The two couldn't wait to ask about the principle of why paper can boil water. Zhu Su briefly told them the concepts of ignition point, melting point and boiling point.
After seeing off Lao Zhu and his party, when Zhu Su returned to the village, he found Xu Yungong and Fang Xiaoru waiting at the door. Seeing Zhu Su come back, they both held the apprenticeship ceremony: "Master."
When Zhu Su returned to the backyard, he immediately called Xiang Deng and ordered the village head and the leader among the veterans to be summoned the next day. They came early the next morning. The village head was an honest old farmer, and the leader of the veterans was a one-eyed man.
A tough guy.
Isn’t it just running the Royal Village? I’ve never eaten pork and I’ve seen pigs run away. With such a big piece of land in hand, are you worried that you won’t be able to get such yellow and white things?
"I don't dare! I am lucky enough to be able to meet the prince. How dare I blame the prince for his negligence." Zhuangtou, who called Wang Gui, forced out a smile, and the groove on his face seemed a bit deeper.
On the other hand, the veteran named Wu Ting just performed a military salute silently, and the dull look in his eyes made Zhu Su look sideways.
"I asked you two to come here today because I want to know about Zhuangzi's situation." Zhu Su glanced at Wu Ting for a few times, suppressed his doubts in his heart, and turned to ask the slightly slick-looking Zhuangtou. "Old Wangtou,
You are an old man here. Tell me, the king, how is the tax in this village? Is it still heavy?"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the man named Wang Gui suddenly turned pale.
