Zhu Shaochen was stunned.

This thing looks familiar! It seems that Captain Hook has one, and Captain Jack has one. (See Pirates of the Caribbean)

However, the workmanship of this one seems to be rougher, after all, the industry of this era is like this.

"This thing is called a clairvoyant."

Zhu Shaoren took the mirror barrel and showed it to Zhu Shaochen.

"Seeing things hundreds of steps away with this object makes people feel like they're still in front of you."

Zhu Shaochen is not one of those people who has never seen the world, but he is not good at appeasing the kindness of his second brother.

I had to pretend to hold the telescope and look in the other direction.

Not to mention, this telescope works pretty well.

Look at the dart flag of the 'Central Plains Dart Bureau' floating on the building on the edge of the royal city.

The dart flag must be the backyard of the dart board.

The Murong family is quite big! The house in the backyard is still a small two-story building, and the baffle of the window pane on the second floor is not closed, and it is still open.

Zhu Shaochen can just see it from this angle.

Zhu Shaochen took a closer look, huh? It was as if I had seen something.

The setting sun happened to be in that direction, so that he could not see clearly, rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, he found that the baffle of the pane had been closed.

"How is it, third brother. Doesn't that look very clear? Zhu Shaoren asked.

"Yes, second brother. It's amazing......"

Zhu Shaochen's 'magic' refers to the one he just saw.

It is said that this kind of common thing in the men's dormitory when I was in college can be encountered in ancient times, which is really evil.

"That's the best, I'm afraid you don't like it for the third brother. Since the third brother likes it, then the second brother of the clairvoyant mirror will be given to the third brother. Zhu Shaoren said.

"Well, Shao Chen thanked the second brother." Zhu Shaochen replied, pondered for a while, and asked again.

"However, the second brother, you shouldn't send me such a good thing for no reason, right?"

"Look at what the third brother said, what is the reason for my brother to send you a little guy." Zhu Shaoren paused and said, "However, this time, for my brother, I really want to ask the third brother for something." ”

"Second brother, you just say it, your own brother's, and you still play this set."

But it's really effective, and it's short-handed. Zhu Shaochen thought secretly.

"The second brother is thinking, didn't my father let you be in charge of contacting the government today?"

Zhu Shaoren wanted to speak and stopped, paused and continued, "Actually, the steward of the fine material warehouse is a friend of Brother Foolish. ”

"Huh? Second brother, do you know who the manager of the fine material warehouse is? Zhu Shaochen said in surprise.

Could it be that the second brother instructed it? Impossible, right? There's no reason for that!

Zhu Shaoren is not like that kind of talent. What's more, his second brother has no motive for committing the crime.

"It's a ...... that Brother Fool met when he traveled abroad. Partner, that's it...... The manager of the fine material warehouse is still ...... Foolish brother, I arranged the ......"

Zhu Shaoren said hesitantly.

"This ...... Why didn't the second brother tell Grandpa Wang and his father on the spot? ”

Zhu Shaochen said with some curiosity. After all, this is a matter of not reporting.

"Foolish brother, there is something unspeakable in this." Zhu Shaoren replied.

"This person's name is Zhu Lunchang, and he was originally from our Zhou Domain. His father was the lieutenant of Fengguo of our Zhou Domain, but because his mother was a concubine, he did not have a name in the Zongren Mansion. ”

When Zhu Shaochen heard that he was a lieutenant of Fengguo? After thinking about it, I realized that Lieutenant Fengguo should be the lowest rank in the clan.

Except for the crown prince, the emperor's sons are all princes in the end.

Except for the prince's son, the rest of the prince's sons are all county kings.

Except for the eldest son, the sons of the county king are all generals of the town state

Then there are the auxiliary generals, the Fengguo generals, the Zhenguo lieutenants, and the auxiliary lieutenants.

Starting with the general of Zhenguo, all sons inherited the title of lower rank.

The lowest rank is Lieutenant Bongguk. After arriving at Lieutenant Fengguo, he was no longer demoted.

So all of Lieutenant Bongkook's children are Lieutenant Bongkook.

However, since the Jiajing Dynasty, the population of the clan has been relatively strictly controlled.

Generally speaking, the children born to the promiscuous concubines of the lieutenant of Fengguo are not entered into the genealogy.

The so-called promiscuity refers to concubines who have not received the permission of the clan.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the number of concubines in the clan was required.

The prince has one wife and four concubines, and there can be no more. No matter how much it is, it will be a promiscuous concubine, and it will not be recognized if you give birth to a child.

The king of the county can marry three concubines, and so on.

After arriving at the lieutenant of Zhenguo, he will have to snicker if he can have a wife.

One is that the court doesn't know when to approve your marriage.

Second, no one wants to marry you.

Since Jiajing, the imperial court has always been in arrears with the rations of low-level clans, and many low-level clans are so poor that they are dying.

Even so, the imperial court still has to calculate very clearly.

After all, every title means that the court has to pay a certain amount of rice.

Although after the auxiliary general, this Lu rice is pitiful.

Lieutenant Bongkook, that's even rarer. In this way, the court will be deducted again.

Usually, after the imperial court reaches the level of auxiliary general, it is not given according to the real number.

What should have been given cash was given directly to a part of the cash, and the rest was given according to the treasure money.

The treasure money of this era is like waste paper.

So Lieutenant Bongkook, some of them didn't even get one-twentieth of the original.

It is not surprising that the imperial court will still owe Lu rice, sometimes for ten or twenty years.

Originally, the clan was not allowed to engage in agriculture and commerce, so it made people miserable to death, and they could not buy manual work.

It has only been in recent years that controls have been relaxed.

Therefore, some clans can't live their lives, and even deliberately sinned to go to prison. After all, there is a clan title there, and the court does not dare to abuse it.

In short, for the low-level clan, that life is really sad.

"This man was a friend he met when Brother Fool went out to find a herb he had never seen before, and he did Brother Fool a great favor. So the foolish brother introduced him to the position of manager of the fine material warehouse. ”

"He is a few years older than his brother, and when he was a father, his mother and son left their father's place, and the mother and son lived as their only son."

"Brother Fool heard that his mother has been seriously ill recently, and she urgently needs some silver taels to see a doctor and catch medicine. But unexpectedly, he did not find a loan for his brother, and he did such a thing. ”

Zhu Shaochen shook his head.

"This, isn't it the second brother, do you still want to help him speak? It costs 50,000 taels of silver to see what kind of disease and take medicine......"

"It is impossible for the government not to arrest him, you must know that this person is Grandpa Wang and his father, and he must be taken down." Zhu Shaochen replied.

If the prince had to do something these days, the local officials would naturally do their best to do it.

Whoever lets the county king or above has the right to play alone.

If the emperor is annoyed by the song, he will end up in trouble with the magistrate.

"No, the foolish brother wants you to intercede with Grandpa Wang, those silvers, for the brother to pay back, the foolish brother will turn around with friends outside the palace when the time comes, and it should be able to be returned. Besides, isn't the foolish brother about to be crowned the king of the county? Presumably, there will be money for him to pay off his debts. ”

Zhu Shaoren also simply confessed.

Zhu Shaochen looked at Zhu Shaoren and thought about it.

"Well, if this person really wants to save his mother. That little brother will definitely intercede for him. If this person is for other things, then the little brother can only do things according to the rules. ”
