Chapter 168 The noble disciple who did evil things
Zhu Fan's face suddenly turned from red to blue, and then from green to purple. Remembering that he had almost asked to fill the "well" with water to make tea, he felt a wave of nausea in his mouth.
He rushed to put the half-picked meat buns back.
"Third brother, why don't I eat?"
"Uh, haha. Third brother is not hungry, not hungry." Zhu Fan smiled very reluctantly. He almost drank the water in the bucket. It was strange that he had the appetite to eat breakfast.
That Huangzhuang is really different. He is so majestic that he almost loses his face...
In order to avoid being embarrassed again, after breakfast, Zhu Fan dragged Zhu Su and begged him to take him around the entire palace. Zhu Fang and Zhu Di naturally asked to join him, and the four brothers left the house lightly dressed.
"Then it's the fields in the village." Zhu Su pointed to the endless fields behind the village. The fields were laid out in a regular pattern like a chess game. Every few acres, there was a canal passing through for irrigation. There were several racks in the distance.
There is a small water cart in the canal, and there are several children in the village playing with shrimps by the canal.
"What a peaceful countryside." Zhu Fan praised. Zhu Su was very proud. Since being criticized by Lao Zhu, he had been focusing on the livelihood of the people in the village, but he had achieved little results.
Those canal waterwheels were built by farmers during the slack season.
"Why are those few acres of fields so different?" Zhu Di asked, pointing to a field in the distance. The other fields were sparsely populated, but only that one field had many people going about it, with legs to hold paper and pens.
The person was recording nearby. "Oh, are those fields test fields?" Zhu Su explained. "He tried to come up with a fertilizer that can increase soil fertility and increase grain production. First, designate an acre of land for testing."
"Fertilizer?" Zhu Fan's eyes lit up. His father attached great importance to agriculture and mulberry trees. If it can increase grain production, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement. "Does fertilizer also apply to the study of things?"
"How to make it?"
"It's nothing, just mix urine, cow dung and other substances with soybeans and plaster of paris and let it stand at a certain temperature." Zhu Su explained casually. "It can also be regarded as a branch of the study of matter, which belongs to 'chemistry'
Category.”
"Uh." The face of Zhu Fan, who had always been very clean, changed slightly. A nauseating feeling began to rise in his throat again.
Zhu Su didn't notice anything strange about Zhu Laosan. From the corner of his eye, he saw a banker who was begging for Dongtian saluting him and asked: "Old man Wang, why should I go to Dongtian in person tomorrow?"
"Where is my son?"
"Returning to the prince." A trace of sadness appeared on Old Man Wang's face. "The month before last, the Marquis of Yan'an was riding a horse in the village. He rode very fast and stepped directly into my property."
"My son was going to the theory, and was knocked unconscious by a horse whip. Now he is lying in bed!"
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Su frowned. Riding his horse on the field?
"Gou, take twenty taels of silver and give it to Old Man Wang. Tang Jingye will be very happy later."
"Ask a few people to help take care of the Wang family's crops. Old man Wang is so old that he can't do the hard work?"
The dog behind him responded, and Old Man Wang knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely. Zhu Su said to the three brothers with a gloomy face, "Hey, they are going to a place east of here."
…
"What a luxurious house! There is no glass at all above the head!" Zhu Ming was amazed. Glass ornaments are extremely expensive in Yingtian, and some exquisite glass ornaments can even be sold for tens of thousands of taels. Unexpectedly, that humble local
The house actually has a glass roof?
"There are only a few flowers and plants inside." Zhu Di looked at the glass on the roof that was shining brightly in the sunlight, and then looked at the flowers and plants inside, and felt that they were quite out of place.
"I don't understand, Fourth Brother. That's called a greenhouse." Zhu Su explained. "Although it's not cold in the sky, green vegetables can't grow in the winter months."
"But in the greenhouse, it's like spring all year round, and you can still grow green vegetables."
"Doesn't that also deny the usefulness of investigating objects?" Zhu Fan asked.
"Little Dao'er, little Dao'er." Zhu Su waved his legs, but he couldn't help but feel proud in front of him. "Old Huangtou, where are the courgettes produced during the past few months? Pick some quickly and bring them to his wife.
Brother, try it."
"Master of the Palace..." Old Huang, the farmer in charge of the greenhouse, had a slumped face. "When Prince Pingliang came to see the greenhouse last month, he said he was thirsty and ate the courgettes after picking them. I couldn't stop him."
"Now there is only one courgette left. Can you please?" He said, pointing to somewhere in the greenhouse.
Zhu Su looked at the shriveled cucumber, the only remaining fruit of the vine, with black lines all over its head.
"Forget it, I won't eat it!"
"Enjoy! Let's go to the east!"
…
Zhu Su took Zhu Lao Er, Zhu Lao San and Zhu Lao Si around the village, and almost everywhere he received feedback from noble playboys who were causing trouble in Zhuangzi: In addition to the Prince of Pingliang and the Prince of Yan'an, there was also the Prince of Yuzhang
The prince Hu Wei molested the women in the village in the street; the prince Mei Yi of Runan used his strength to rob merchants of goods; the prince Zheng Xiang of Xingyang got into a verbal fight while listening to a book...
Zhu Su, who had a black line on his forehead, resisted getting angry and returned to the village, where he bumped into the chief steward Xiang Deng. "Dong Dong! You came just in time!"
"Something bad has happened! The Shen family sent someone to report that our glass shop in Suzhou has been closed down by Suzhou officials!"
Zhu Su quickly took the letter from Xiang Deng's lap, and when he read it, he saw that the letter said that Suzhou's Taihu Lake was seriously infested with bandits during the Ming Dynasty, and the thieves even harassed the city several times. The shop jointly owned by the Wangfu and the Shen family in Suzhou City was raided by the Censor Xunhe.
In the name of protection, it was directly blocked.
"My uncle!"
Unable to hold back his anger, Zhu Su directly threw the letter on the table. For example, the investment in Mingzhuang was entirely supported by the glass shop in cooperation with the Shen family. The cement was temporarily provided to the court at capital cost, and it was very difficult for other industries to get off the ground.
Output, the shop in Suzhou was blocked from shipping and shipping, so he had to lose a large part of his income!
"It's all because he was tricked by his father! There was no reason for him to get involved in the fight between the government and China. Not to mention that he had to wipe the butts of a bunch of dudes. He was inexplicably hated by people and couldn't even do business!"
As soon as those words came out, the timid Xiang Deng immediately blushed. Zhu Fang and Zhu Fan were the first to tremble and quickly stopped the rampaging Zhu Su.
"Lao Wu, don't talk nonsense! Do I want to be beaten by the dragon belt?" When Zhu Xi mentioned Lao Zhu, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He even looked around nervously, as if Lao Zhu Dong would jump out of any corner at any moment.
As if coming out.
"My father asked me to do that, of course there is a reason for it." Zhu Fan also advised. "If you think about the Suzhou incident, those civil servants will give me some eye drops. I will write a letter to explain it to my father and ask him to
Just give me a decree or ask my eldest brother to speak, and everything will be fine."
Among the nobles of Huaixi, Li Shanchang and Xu Da were the most respected. Hu Weiyong asked the noble princes of Huaixi to gather under Zhu Su's command in the name of studying. Did he want to give those centrists the illusion that Huaixi was the capital of the nobles?
Stand on Zhu Su's side.
Even Liu Bowen, the benchmark figure of the Qing Dynasty in eastern Zhejiang, took the initiative to enter the imperial palace. Even the East Palace of the Prince and the Outer Pavilion shunned Zhu Su's affairs in the East of the Fifth Palace. In recent months, the authority of Zhongshu Province has been on the rise again. Again.
Coupled with all kinds of rumors and the emperor who always favored the prince, he was strangely letting it go.
Overtly and covertly, many officials with dirty buttocks had accepted Hu Weiyong's solicitation because they had been given the opportunity, in order to continue to dominate and dominate the officials under the protection of the fifth prince Zhu Su.
