Chapter 686: Invisible Pretending

The interior of the Zhonghua Building is like a palace, the decoration is magnificent, and there is a garden Xiao Xie in the back, which was the east garden of the Duke of Wei.

"I often hear friends talk about Zhonghua Building, full of praise, today's view, it's really good!"

All kinds of fruits in the building are fragrant, but Xu Bohan is half-squatting, looking at the decorations on the surrounding pillars in amazement.

Zhu Cihong glanced at this brother-in-law curiously, feeling that this product was fake, and it was also the only seedling of the Xu family, why had he never seen the world so much.

As if discovering Zhu Cihong's gaze, Xu Bohan withdrew his gaze, coughed twice, and pretended to be serious.

Blowing, playing, singing, and dancing, accompanied by singing and dancing, a team of maids serving tea, wine and food, fluttering and carefully distributing vegetables.

"Phoenix, brocade chicken, lychee pork, five silk belly silk, steamed sheep ......"

Listening to the maid's crisp sound of announcing the food, Xu Bohan rubbed over to Zhu Cihong's side like a thief, and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Zhu, I heard that according to the rules of the restaurant, if someone eats the overlord meal, they will eat as much as they eat until they vomit out, and they will be dragged to see the official ......."

Zhu Cihong's face became more and more strange, and he said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"What I mean, I didn't bring any silver, and if you brag, we'll be able to run while we don't move our chopsticks......"

Zhu Cihong was speechless for a while, and comforted: "Brother, brother, please get up, eat with confidence, no one will beat you." ”

Xu Bohan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Zhu, I think you are quite interesting, such an expensive table of dishes, please invite it, it's interesting enough!" ”

"Is it expensive?" Zhu Cihong looked at this kid in surprise.

The Xu family is rich in millions, and as the only heir of the family, this kid has never eaten big rib noodles?

Worried about losing face, Xu Bohan laughed a few times and said, "It's still ...... It's okay. ”

The next moment, he became serious, and seemed to feel that he had earned back a little face, and his head was raised a little higher.

Although the Xu family, who has been a maritime merchant for several generations, has a huge family capital, the family education in the clan is very particular, in addition to cultivating the abacus and language ability of the clan, it is also necessary to read and hyphenate and improve self-cultivation, which is basically in accordance with the rule of "raising sons in poverty and daughters in wealth".

Raising a daughter is an investment in cultural accomplishment; To raise a son in poverty is not to give the heir too much enjoyment, so as not to spoil him for not wanting to make progress, so that they can sharpen their will, character and character through the feeling of poverty and hardship.

In fact, Xu Bohan has never eaten such a sumptuous meal when he is so old, and when he sees everything in Zhonghua Building at first glance, Rao is very restrained, and he can only do this.

More than half of the dishes in Zhonghua House are made according to the imperial food recipes in the palace, and the service here is also absolute, coupled with the magnificent environment, being in this place, enjoying more than the emperor, and being sought after by the rich.

After all, there is never a shortage of rich people in this world who want to live a good life.

Xu Bohan fell into heaven, and he praised him: "The owner of this Zhonghua Building is really a business wizard!" It's too good to make money by operating like this! I admire him so much! ”

At this time, the shopkeeper of Zhonghua Building rushed over with a trot.

As soon as he saw Zhu Cihong's face, the shopkeeper excitedly said: "The shopkeeper of the Nanjing branch of the small Zhonghua Building, I have seen the owner!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded indifferently and said, "This store is well maintained, let's make persistent efforts." ”

This shopkeeper is a stall head of the East Factory, although he has never seen Zhu Cihong, but he knows Wu Zhong.

Seeing that his own overseer was standing on the left and right of the young man, the shopkeeper naturally judged that this young man was the legendary Tianwu Emperor.

People who can do this kind of status in the East Factory have honed their eyesight and brains, and they quietly retired after the salute, not daring to leave a bother.

Seeing this situation, Xu Bohan stood on the spot, his eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide.

He never thought that this Brother Zhu beside him was actually the owner of this Zhonghua Building......

Although Xu Chenyun had been prepared, she was still in a trance.

"Brother-in-law, eat vegetables!" Zhu Cihong reminded.

Xu Bohan, who came to his senses, his eyes had changed from shock to admiration.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Cihong asked him with a meaningful smile.

"Sister-in-law!"

Xu Bohan finally couldn't help but scream, looking at Zhu Cihong's eyes full of admiration: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so good...... The younger brother seems to understand a little, why my sister likes you so much. ”

"Da Kun, don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Chenyun couldn't help but scold, feeling that her brother's performance was really embarrassing.....

Xu Bohan hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister, your vision is so good!" ”

After complimenting, he rubbed his hands, looked at Zhu Cihong again, with hope in his eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, can I follow you?" ”

Zhu Cihong patted him on the shoulder, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Arrangement!" ”

Xu Bohan was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, you are not only young and promising, but most importantly, money has not swallowed up the brilliance of your humanity!" ”

......

After tossing for a day, Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, and there were already cabinet ministers and military aircraft ministers waiting outside the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

Zhu Cihong came to the back of the imperial case and sat down, flipping through the newspapers from all over the place.

The top one, played by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, said that the land in Shaanxi has been almost divided, the number of displaced people is decreasing day by day, prices are tending to be stable, and the price of rice has dropped to one tael of silver and one stone.

Although the price of rice in Shaanxi is twice as high as that in Jiangnan, Zhu Cihong is very satisfied, and it is not easy for Shaanxi to stabilize to such a point in one year.

continued to read, but saw Sun Chuanting's implicit request to go north with the Governor's Mansion of the Western Governor's Mansion to recover the Hetao area and attack Moxi Mongolia in the west.

Zhu Cihong thought for a moment and replied, "The price of rice has fallen, I am very relieved, and the people's livelihood is restored, and the troops are suspended." ”

In fact, not only Sun Chuanting and the Western Governor's Mansion wanted to fight, but under the reward of expanding the territory, the two Governor's Mansions and the five Governor's Mansions, almost all the generals wanted to fight and expand their territory.

Zhu Cihong also wants to fight, but everything has to be solved in the same way, and now that the people's livelihood has just recovered, the foundation is still thin, and if you want to fight, you have to fight one by one.

After dealing with some urgent matters, Zhu Cihong summoned several cabinet and military ministers who were waiting outside.

First of all, Zhu Jiqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reported on the preparations for the draft and the wedding, and next month, those show girls will gather in the capital, and they will start to officially advance from the audition......

Lu Jiude, the secretary of the logistics department, said: "Your Majesty, the edict ordered Jinghai to cross the sea to the east, and the will to recover the east has been issued for nearly two months. ”

"Why doesn't Zhu Chenggong go to sea?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Zhao Shixiang, the secretary of the praise painting department, said: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhu Chenggong sent a report from Tang, saying that the south wind has not arrived and cannot go to the sea." ”

Lu Jiude, Minister of Military Aircraft, was dissatisfied: "The wind direction on the sea is uncertain, he can't wait for the south wind, won't Dongfan recover?" ”

Zhu Cihong asked: "What does the Praise Painting Department say?" ”

Zhao Shixiang, the secretary of the praise and painting department, said: "For generals, knowing astronomy, knowing geography, and distinguishing the wind and weather are all basic skills, and the minister believes that the surname of the country has this ability." ”

Zhao Shixiang's meaning is very clear, that is, to wait and not interfere with the front-line generals' operations.

Zhu Cihong pondered for a moment, looked at Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, and said, "Yang Qing, why don't you speak?" ”

Yang Tinglin immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the south wind mostly appears in the summer, and the minister suggests that the war to pacify the east should be pressed for a few months in advance, and then the expedition will be carried out after His Majesty's wedding......"

The emperor's wedding is of great significance, and it is not appropriate to raise troops, and Yang Tinglin's consideration is not unreasonable.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and vetoed it on the spot: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore, the big wedding can be postponed, and the peacetime war cannot be delayed, I want to inspect Fujian and personally supervise the war." ”

Taiwan's strategic significance is too important, how can the fat meat in the mouth be eaten when it is cold? Finish the fight early, and deploy to Nanyang early.

In addition, tens of thousands of troops were on the front line in Fujian, and a day's delay was grain and grass, and if it was delayed for a few months, it would consume more (much more in wartime than in peacetime).

Zhu Cihong has long said that the world is undecided, how can it be home? The war in the east is going on, isn't the big wedding a slap in the face at this time?

Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong didn't open his mouth, who would dare to say one more thing.

Yang Tinglin didn't dare to insist anymore, and hurriedly said: "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, the ministers don't dare to have any objections, but at the moment, there are all kinds of waste waiting to be revived, and the soldiers are tired, so I just ask Your Majesty to urge the front-line soldiers, and when the time comes, they will work hard in order to win the battle......

To put it bluntly, just don't delay, go home early and get married and have children......

Zhu Cihong naturally knew that there were only more than a thousand red ghosts on it, and there was also an independent indigenous kingdom, so it was the same as playing with them.

This trip to Fujian is mainly to inspect the people of An, as well as the immigration policy to the east.
