The small study room in the East Palace always makes everyone who walks in need to maintain the greatest restraint and calmness.

The room full of books and state affairs over the years is like a mountain, and people feel that the mountain is pressing on them as soon as they walk in.

The prince's personal eunuch and Zhu Yunxi's current personal eunuch Yutian, the two are two rounds apart in age, and they stand side by side outside the door of the small study.

Zhu Yunxi followed Zhu Biao into the small study.

Zhu Yunxi pushed the wheelchair, and Zhu Biao, who was sitting in the wheelchair, raised his eyes to look at the study that had accommodated him for more than 20 years.

Everything is just as it was when he first entered this East Palace, and it was also the same as when he left Beijing for the last year.

It's just that on the front shelf of the state concerta, there are a few more copies of the newly added concerto.

"Have you seen it all?"

Zhu Biao sat in a wheelchair, stretched out his hand to the pile of new movements, and looked back at his son.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "My son always feels that no matter how big or small the state affairs are, they are always as important as ten thousand jun, and he doesn't dare to slack off easily, and he can only read it in a solemn place." ”

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the desk with paper books stacked on the table.

Come to think of it, these are the remnants of my son's reading of the state affairs chapter here these days and combing through the manuscripts of his heart.

He waved his hand again and pointed to another tea table arranged in front of a low window.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, pushed his father to the tea table, and after determining the position for his father, he sat on the opposite side, and he could see out of the window on both sides, and the green bamboo, winter plum, and green pine in the corner of the wall were not big.

The green bamboo is always green like spring regardless of the season, and the green pine will always stand.

Only Dongmei, quietly returning to loneliness in this spring, silently sucking the fertility under her, preparing for the next winter to bloom again.

In the small study, Gong E, the chamberlain of the East Palace, will come in every day to sprinkle and clean, and will also prepare the mountain spring water transported back from outside the city for the small study.

A pot of mountain spring is placed on the stove and boiled slowly.

Zhu Yunxi has already begun to brew new tea, preparing slowly and carefully according to the steps, calmly and clearly, as if he is the most outstanding academic scholar, and is cooking a cup of disciple tea for the most noble gentleman in moral and learned manners.

Zhu Biao clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, his eyes flashed faintly, and calmly looked down at his son in front of him, but everything he did to brew a cup of tea and soup.

"Last year, you offered a social event for the first time, let's remember to raise money and food for the old man's longevity festival, and proposed the post station restructuring."

Zhu Yunxi, who had already cleaned up the tea cup and took the new tea this year, raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao: "Back to my father, this is the matter." ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "Now I want to come, but it is also a wonderful pen, such as today's Zhudao has steadily promoted the reform of the post station, stamps to entrust the people's affection, businessmen are convenient to live and inventory." The northern provinces have even placed thousands of disabled and old soldiers, and everything you imagined is slowly happening. ”

Zhu Yunxi was a little reluctant to believe what he heard, he felt that the reason why his father chose to come back suddenly today must have been figured out or let go of the matter of Lu being given death and the second child being imprisoned in Fengyang.

Only when he returns to the East Palace can he be regarded as talking about his own affairs behind closed doors.

However, what he didn't expect was that after Zhu Biao came back, he first showed his emotions to the people around him, and when he arrived at the small study, the first thing he said was the matter of the national dynasty.

Seeing that his son didn't speak, Zhu Biao smiled silently: "This thing is very good." Speaking of which, there is something you may not know, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaodong Prefecture, Northern Parallel Division, Shanxi Xingdu Division, and Yuanerdu Division, have now begun to place disabled veterans in the prefecture and county yamen as officials. ”

Zhu Yunxi's heart finally had a layer of turmoil, his eyes were a little panicked, and he reacted quickly, and looked at Zhu Biao with a wry smile: "Father and grandfather can see it." ”

He used an affirmative sentence.

Zhu Biao still nodded lightly: "Since you can use the disabled old soldiers to settle in the post station, you naturally plan to let more disabled old soldiers enter the yamen of all the provinces and counties in the world to serve as officials." ”

Zhu Yunxi was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "With them, our family is more at ease......"

"Yes, our family will be more assured!" Zhu Biao sighed, squinted at the white smoke rising in front of him, and coughed lightly: "The water is boiling." ”

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and hurriedly began to brew new tea.

And Zhu Biao continued: "The local officials are controlled by the squire clan, and if the official of the imperial court wants to do something, he always has to worship the dock, and the evil officials have the power in their hands, so they can oppress the people at will. When the old pawn retreats, he will be grateful in his heart, even if he oppresses and greedily ink, he will always be better than those local people. ”

Greedy for ink is endless, compared with the old man who thinks that he can kill all the people who are greedy for ink in the world, Zhu Biao has always thought that this is an instinct about human nature.

Zhu Yunxi had already brewed the tea at this time, and the new tea did not have to give up the first brew of tea soup, there was some golden tea soup in the turquoise, swirling in the white tea cup, and he sent it to Zhu Biao.

He also spoke: "The greed is endless, the old man is grateful in his heart, he can do less evil deeds, and it doesn't hurt to be a scale, after all, my family still has to use people." Just to avoid the emergence of new local forces, the son thought that even if he was an official, he should be transferred to the prefecture and county in the next year. ”

Only by allowing the officials to move, so that they cannot hold on to one place for a long time, they will not be able to firmly sink their roots into the soil.

Zhu Biao nodded: "In this matter, I will tell the old man, I always have to find an opportunity to start." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Biao picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the tea soup stayed in his mouth for half a moment, was compressed and filled with the entire mouth, and then slowly lowered his stomach.

Opening his mouth slightly, a touch of tea fragrance wafted out.

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "The technique of flushing is also acceptable." ”

Zhu Yunxi was a little dissatisfied, this was a technique that he had learned by following Fang Xiaoru for several days after taking the time to do so, and he only got one acceptable.

He changed his words and said, "Father intends to return to the imperial court? ”

Zhu Biao drank the tea soup in the teacup in three sips, then held the teacup in his hand, and stared at Zhu Yunxi silently with his eyes.

This made the words that were ready to continue to speak, ready to shirk the burden on their bodies, were also blocked.

Zhu Biao said quietly: "The monarch's majestic demeanor cannot be lost." Nor can you desecrate the hall with a mutilated body. ”

"I don't think this is my father's words......" Zhu Yunxi suddenly, also learning from his father's tone, replied faintly.

Zhu Biao smiled helplessly: "You, your heart is becoming more and more like a mirror." We just think that now, we can suddenly see the situation of our Ming Dynasty better, and we can figure out things that we couldn't figure out in the past, but we can also figure it out at this time. With the old man in front of him, and in the middle of the court, you can also let it go. Let's take a second look and think more. ”

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and said with some resentment: "You are picking on a child, my son has recently researched a new thing that can support and allow you to slowly exercise your legs." Now that spring has opened and the climate is gradually getting warmer, you can practice slowly. ”

Zhu Biao's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he sent the tea cup in his hand to his son, and said: "A few days ago, the envoy of the mountain hospital came to diagnose us, saying that it was our two legs, and the recovery was beyond his expectations. ”

Zhu Yunxi echoed: "The envoy of the mountain courtyard will never tell lies, and when he turns around, his son will send you what he has made." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, as if he was very happy because his son had specially prepared another gift for himself.

Then he said lightly: "That Xia Yuanji is a talent, and he is personally handling everything under the Zhejiang Dao Sect." ”

Zhu Yunxi snorted: "Xia Weizhe was in the household department after he joined the office, and he was quite proficient in arithmetic, and he had quite an insight into the way of economy. At present, Zhejiang Province first counted the acres of land and counted the number of merchants, and then pushed the administrative order.

Before his son returned to Beijing a few days ago, he added an article to set up a land and mu division and a merchant department in Zhejiang Province, and respectively to officially register the fields and merchants in Zhejiang Province, especially the newly reclaimed fields and new merchants in the future. ”

"The land and acres of the division, the merchant division......" Zhu Biao frowned and groaned.

Zhu Yunxi explained softly: "They are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and they only exercise the power of supervision and registration on weekdays, and the matter of tax collection and payment is still handled by the Yamen of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and then handed over to the two departments to be sent back to Beijing afterwards." ”

"Zhejiang's affairs, if you think it is feasible, you can do it, and the old man will support you in everything." Zhu Biao made a comment.

He thinks that Zhejiang Province is now implementing tax reform and adding two new supervision yamen, which is still very necessary.

In particular, the supervision and registration of new tax sources are related to the Ming Dynasty's population growth to avoid the occurrence of a situation where taxes are always unchanged.

The tea soup has reached the third brew.

The flavors are just starting to get fresher.

Zhu Yunxi drank a cup and started the fourth brew, and said in his mouth: "Now Zhejiang Dao is being planted in spring, and mulberry leaves are gradually growing. With Tang Li, and the hundreds of military heads he cut off, Zhejiang's guards are not chaotic, and there will be no rebound in the locality. As long as this year's summer grain is put into storage, the autumn grain is harvested, and the silkworms are full of silk. There will be no more voices in Zhejiang Dao, and when the time comes, they can return to the dynasty with this experience. ”

Zhu Biao, who was in the audience for a while, nodded again and again, then put down the teacup he had just picked up, and looked at his heroic son who was sitting in front of him with a flickering eye.

"Yesterday in Laoshan Huangzhuang, you took the opportunity to reprimand the director of the Ministry of Works, what is your intention?"

Bang la la blah.

The spring breeze is always gentle, but it is also very similar to the temperament of a little girl in Jiangnan, and she will suddenly become restless.

With the sound of the wind, which was no longer gentle, it was a few drops of raindrops the size of beans, falling on the muddy ground outside the window.

Then, the rain became heavier and heavier.

The sky was dark and full of dark clouds.

Zhu Yunxi's heart suddenly tightened, after his father exposed his thoughts on the transfer of military officials, it was difficult for him to believe that his father would not realize what he was doing to reprimand those two unlucky people in the Ministry of Engineering for no reason.

And at this time, Zhu Biao did not disappoint his son.

His eyes were already ambiguous and profound, staring at Zhu Yunxi as if he were nothing.

This made his heart grow more and more furious.

Zhu Biao said quietly: "Do you want to do it on top of the imperial examination?" ”
