Since Zhu Gaochi came to Ryukyu Island, he has been very depressed, thinking that he has been tired of the battle between the DPRK and China, and it is not bad to escape and be a civilian. www.biquge.info From now on, he can stay away from the court and away from the fate of fratricide, and he was very comfortable in the first few days, but since he started to do some business to make a living, things have left and changed.

Without the title of prince and the royal background, he is now an ordinary ordinary person. The previous power was gone, and he knew how difficult it was to do things, and when he escaped, he didn't bring out much gold and silver. He is very confident that he has invested all in the business, and now he has lost seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Standing on the same starting line, without the mind and drive of others to do business, Zhu Gaochi was crushed by his peers in less than two months. At this time, he realized that he didn't have any talent for business at all, and he used to be able to do business because he had a royal status, and no one dared to fight with him, but now, ...... It couldn't be more obvious.

When Tang Ming returned to the mansion, he saw Zhu Gaochi waiting for him with a bitter face, this former prince of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be as sharp as before. On the contrary, it is very decadent and depressed, which is obviously that life is not happy.

"Have you eaten, why don't you eat together!" Tang Ming didn't ask him anything about it.

Zhu Gaochi nodded without hesitation and accepted Tang Ming's invitation, he didn't even have to eat now, a dignified Ming prince was not right, he came here to suffer, not to mention, now he is so mixed that he is almost out of security for three meals a day.

The Tang Mansion had already prepared meals for Tang Ming, and the chef was specially trained by Tang Ming, and the meals he cooked were all in line with the Tang family's taste. The color and fragrance are complete, Zhu Gaochi almost couldn't control the flow of saliva when he saw it, and Tang Ming He was never polite, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and opened his belly to eat and drink.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Tang Ming's mouth, it seemed that Zhu Gaochi's civilians during this period of time were even more miserable than he imagined. didn't say anything, and accompanied him to a full meal.

Zhu Gao swept away all the dishes on the table like a wind, and then leaned back on the chair with a satisfied face on his belly.

After the subordinate served fragrant tea, Tang Ming took a sip before he said, "What's the matter, you're still not used to living a civilian's life, right?" ”

Zhu Gaochi's satisfied expression after a full meal disappeared immediately, replaced by a bitter face, and pouted: "It's not that I'm not used to living a civilian life, but now I understand that I am not a piece of business material at all." The little silver I brought from Da Ming has now been spent, and now I just want to reach out and borrow some from you. ”

On the surface, he said it lightly, but the nervous look on Zhu Gaochi's face still betrayed him, he was no longer the prince of Daming, and he was not sure if Tang Ming would still miss the old love. To put it bluntly, Zhu Gaochi is now making trouble with his inferiority complex, although Tang Ming is temperamental, although he understands, but when he really meets him, he is also nervous.

Tang Ming seemed to be deliberately teasing Zhu Gaochi, but he actually fell silent and pretended to be embarrassed, and directly made Zhu Gaochi so anxious that his face turned pale.

It wasn't until he saw that Zhu Gaochi was about to lose it anymore that Tang Ming said with a smile: "Actually, it's easy to borrow money from you, it's not a problem whether it's 100,000 taels or 1 million taels." But the problem is that no matter how much silver you borrow, when you run out, are you willing to be an unmotivated gentleman for the rest of your life? ”

These words seemed to hit the key point in Zhu Gaochi's heart, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you, when I was the prince before, I often felt that I was a talent, but without the identity of the prince, I realized that I was nothing at all." It's like I can't even live the most basic life now, and sometimes I feel very sad when I think about it, but you have a lot of ideas, what is there to take care of me? ”

I didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to see himself clearly in a short period of time, and Tang Ming was also a little stunned for a while. In fact, it is very common for a situation like him, and everyone knows that it is not easy to go from rich to thrifty. What's more, he fell from a prince to a commoner, the gap is so big, he can have this performance is not bad.

"It's better to teach people to fish than to teach people skills, no matter how much money you have, you will always run out, why don't you go to the technical academy to learn a skill, and then do things in the academy in the future?" Tang Ming felt that what Zhu Gaochi lacked in front of him was not money, but a heart for the people.

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he nodded and replied: "It's all up to my brother's arrangement, you also know that I have always believed in the right decision, and it is the same now." ”

Tang Ming smiled, called the housekeeper, and told him to take Zhu Gaochi to the technical academy tomorrow. After talking about the matter, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and Zhu Gaochi had always been worried that Tang Ming would not be able to resist the attack of his father's army. But the last battle ended with Tang Ming's victory, which was somewhat unexpected.

But he didn't know what his father was like, and he would never stop there, and there would definitely be big moves next, and it would be bigger than ever.

Therefore, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you ready to accept the next challenge that Da Ming will give you?" ”

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, Zhu Gaochi guessed what he was thinking at the moment, and after a long time, he said: "Actually, in the face of Daming, I have never regarded it as a challenge, but as a spur to myself. ”

"Why?" Zhu Gaochi frowned, very puzzled by Tang Ming's words.

"It's very simple, because it's only when you're facing strong opponents that you keep pushing yourself to become stronger. Whether it's competition or fighting, in fact, from another point of view, this is not a sign that the country is strong! This was also the result of Tang Ming staying alone in the back mountain for an afternoon.

Zhu Gaochi obviously can't fully agree with Tang Ming's point of view, but as long as Tang Ming has confidence, nothing else matters.

The two chatted until late at night, Zhu Gaochi also benefited a lot tonight, when he was the prince before, he looked at Tang Ming from that angle, and he didn't find the real world in his heart. And now, when he really put himself on an equal footing to look at Tang Ming, he really discovered where Tang Ming's charm was.

Maybe Tang Ming had told him these things before, but he didn't have the mentality he has now, so he couldn't listen to them at all. Leaving the Tang Mansion, Zhu Gaochi no longer saw the previous decadence, the smile from the heart jumped on his face, and his self-confidence had returned to him, and he seemed to have a definition in his heart about how to live in the future.
