Zhu Di was furious, because if Zhou Kang was stubborn to the end, he respected the other party as a man.

Who would have thought that this guy would start kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy again, Zhu Di was disdainful in his heart, and what this person said in his mouth violated Zhu Di's rebellion.

In Zhu Di's mind, scholars are not a good thing, otherwise, Emperor Jianwen is surrounded by so many 'great smarts' and occupies an absolute advantage, how could he be killed by him in the end?

It can be said that from the perspective of strength, Zhu Di has absolutely no chance of turning the tables, because Emperor Jianwen can lose ten times, but as long as Zhu Di loses once, he will die.

It's just that even with such a huge disparity in strength, Zhu Di still became the winner.

The reason for the victory is naturally because there are countless hot-blooded and loyal tiger ben people around him, and I am afraid that the reverse output of those smart people around Emperor Jianwen is indispensable.

In Zhu Di's eyes, today's Zhou Kang is actually no different from those smart people.

What's ridiculous is that this person still uses his identity as a shield, thinking that he can blackmail Zhu Di by virtue of this.

Yao Guangxiao, who was standing on the side, raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Kang with a caring and mentally handicapped look, he obviously didn't expect that Zhou Kang would have such a suffocating operation.

This Yao Guangxiao doesn't have a good impression of scholars, and people who crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood can only look down on such people from the bottom of their hearts.

In later generations, there were many rumors, such as Yao Guangxiao once reminded Zhu Di: "On the day of the capture of Nanjing, Fang Xiaoru will not surrender, and I hope not to kill him." Kill Fang Xiaoru, and the seeds of reading in the world will be extinct. ”

These words are more like the rumors of later generations of scholars, because Yao Guangxiao deceived Zhu Di into rebelling at the beginning, obviously he had seen the weaknesses of the Confucian ministers around Emperor Jianwen. In his opinion, the original Yan King, even if he was at a huge disadvantage, had a great chance of winning.

How could a person who didn't take Jianwen Dynasty into account of the sages of the Jianwen Dynasty could value these so-called scholars so much?

At this time, Zhou Kang was terrified to the extreme, and although he was kicked, he was still begging.

For a person who is extremely disgusted with begging for mercy, Zhu Di naturally has no kindness, and only sneers and says: "Take it." ”

The guards did not hesitate any longer, and directly escorted Zhou Kang down.

Zhu Di paced back and forth for a few steps, then looked at Xie Jinren and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Is Zhou Kang guilty this time?" ”

Hu Guang and Yang Rong didn't say anything, they didn't defend Zhou Kang at the beginning, but now they ...... It doesn't seem to want to fall into the trap either.

Only Xie Jin was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Kang seems to be loyal, but the minister didn't expect him to be a thief, and the officials are there...... If something goes wrong in the merit examination, we must apply for it strictly, and the officials must be cautious in administering the merit examination. ”

Zhu Di sneered: "There are also those imperial histories who are written and played, what should they do if they tell right and wrong?" ”

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "It is understandable that the imperial history is heard and the wind is chasing the wind and catching the shadows, but such a misinterpretation really shocked the minister's heart, and the minister thought that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should also be reviewed." ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "Does Zhang Anshizhen have merit in this ferry?" ”

Xie Jin felt more and more suffocated, and under Zhu Di's gloomy gaze, he said stubbornly: "The minister has traveled all the way, and this ferry ...... But the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Zhu Di looked at him straight and said, "Such a credit is not small." ”

Xie Jin didn't think about it and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di said: "Should it be rewarded?" ”

"If it is a local parent official, since he should be ranked in the top of the merit, he will have to be promoted in the future, but it is a pity that Cheng En Bo is a minister, and he is not a minister of merit, so the minister thinks that it is ...... This should be the matter of His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

Zhu Di said: "I want Zhang Anshi to get on the horse to manage the troops here, how about getting off the horse to control the people?" ”

Xie Jin was shocked, but at this time, he did not immediately respond because he was frightened, but said: "Your Majesty, there is no such article in the law of the ancestors. ”

Zhu Di said: "If you talk about the law of the ancestors......"

As he spoke, Zhu Di sat down calmly, took a sip of tea, looked at Xie Jin, and continued: "Zhou Kang's case alone involves a large number of frauds in the DPRK and China, and its severity is no less than the empty seal case. ”

Zhu Di's words were undoubtedly like a thunderclap sounding on Xie Jin's head, he shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Minister...... The minister is the only one who looks forward to the horse, and His Majesty has given Zhang Anshi full power, which has its own profound meaning. ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "I am still lenient and benevolent, and I don't want to imitate Emperor Taizu Gao, but if there are people like Zhou Kang, when the law of the ancestors is on top, it will be difficult for me to forgive." Stand down! ”

Xie Jin suddenly found that his clothes were already soaked, so he resigned himself to Yang Rong and Hu Advertising.

When he got out of the inn, Xie Jin's face was gloomy, this blow was not small for him, especially Zhu Di's stern appearance, which made him suddenly feel like he was the last to die.

Hu Guang saw that his face was blue, and said in a low voice: "Xie Gong, Xie Gong......"

Xie Jin came back to his senses at this time, and sighed in a low voice: "Your Majesty is really as radiant as Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

This is not a taboo, and even if Zhu Di listens to it, he is afraid that there will be an element of praise.

But if this is said to a reader, it may mean something else.

Hu Guang and Yang Rong were silent.

It's just that Yishaha came out of it at this time and said, "Your Majesty has an edict, and you don't have to wait." ”

Xie Jin was still waiting outside the inn, he was full of review of the events of the past few days at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that Zhang Anshi's holy family might be even more underestimated than he imagined.

The death or immortality of a Zhou Kang is actually nothing, but this time, I am afraid that it will increase His Majesty's distrust of him.

If a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion can't be trusted by the emperor, what will happen next?

For no reason, Xie Jin's heart added some fear and uneasiness.

However, Hu Guang and Yang Rong couldn't wait in the snow, they were hungry at this time, so they simply went to the vendor not far away to buy some food.

The bazaar was much more lively than they had imagined, and there were many idlers buying and selling, not only the inn business was good, but also the vendors and merchants, because the people who worked here could not go back to make a fire to make food, so they could only buy some food on the street to deal with a few bites.

The stalls sell cooking cakes, because it is noon, and people at this time mainly eat breakfast and dinner, and at noon often like to find some pastries to deal with, so the business here is particularly good.

When the old man who sold cakes saw Hu Guang and Yang Rong wearing official uniforms, he immediately showed a look of humility.

"A few more." Hu Guangdao.

"Yes, yes."

Yang Rong said on the side: "I see that you have a good deal." ”

The old man brought a smile on his lips and said, "Yes, it's good, thank you for Enbo's blessing." ”

"Why do you owe it to him?"

The old man said: "Doing conscription and paying wages, the old man has lived for so many years, from Tatar Yuan to my Ming Dynasty, it is an unprecedented thing!" ”

"When Emperor Hongwu was in his old man's house, the conscription was in charge of the rice, although the food in this charge was often deducted, but the old man of Hongwu collapsed, and no one took care of it.

The old man was very talkative, and he was in a good mood at this time, and continued with a red face: "In the past, everyone was afraid of servitude like a tiger, but now it is different, now I can't wait to be smoked, I heard that there are many men in the family, and there are even some people who please the security chief, so I hope that the family will draw a few more dings." Isn't that unusual?"

Hu Guang and Yang Rong glanced at each other, this Hu Guang can also be regarded as a martyr, because he wrote the article 'Pro-vassal Lu Liang, People's Hearts Shake', in fact, he criticized the radical policy of cutting the feudal domain that the Manchu Dynasty and the civil servants agreed with at that time, so he was alienated by Emperor Jianwen.

Hu Guang is a meticulous person, very perceptive, basically rarely speaks, and it is difficult for others to guess his thoughts, so although the old man's words touched his heart, he still remained silent.

Yang Rong is different, he is alert and accessible, good at observing words and feelings, doing things in a very orderly manner, and is also very decisive.

This is very rare among readers.

He thought about it, waited for the old man to heat up the cooking cakes, wrapped the lotus leaves, and Yang Rong said: "In this way, this Cheng Enbo is a rare character. ”

The old man smiled and said: "It's really rare to see, you look at this ferry, although there were a lot of people in the past, but where can it compare to today's scene, in fact, everyone's life is better, my cooking cakes will naturally sell well, in the past, who was willing to buy this on the street?" Everyone lives on rice porridge. ”

Yang Rong paid the money, and then said goodbye to the old man with Hu Guang and left.

Both of them walked with their heads buried in the snow, but they didn't say a word.

After half a ring, it finally ...... Yang Rong said: "Hu Gong, how do you look at this son?" ”

Hu Guang has always rarely expressed his own suggestions, he pondered for a moment, but today he has some more words: "The one who can prosper the Ming Dynasty must be this son, and the one who may cause disaster to the Ming Dynasty will also be this person." ”

Yang Rong smiled: "In this way, in the eyes of Hu Gong, wouldn't this son become a traitor?" ”

Hu Guang shook his head: "No, it's just that this son is acting like this, it's really unpredictable, he seems to be ...... It is farther than us, but it is difficult to guess because it is unpredictable. ”

Yang Rong bowed his head: "This statement is fair. ”

Hu Guang looked worried: "Xie Gong ...... today." seems to be a little lost, and he doesn't like Zhang Anshi very much. ”

Hu Guang and Xie Jin are both fellow villagers in Jishui County, colleagues and fellow villagers, plus they are Jinshi from the same list, so their relationship is naturally much closer than others.

Yang Rong is a native of Fujian, to be honest, it is inconvenient for everyone to speak, people in this era inevitably have accents, and with a group of Jiangxi roll kings, Yang Rong is quite stressed.

However, Yang Rong is not the kind of person who is too cautious, he said with a smile: "Xie Gong's heart is too big, what he asks for is beyond your reach." ”

Hu Guang only pursed his mouth and didn't speak again.

He frowned and sighed, still worried.

…………

Zhu Di was not in a hurry to return to the palace, he was very interested in Zhang Anshi's so-called channels.

At this time, he said to Zhang Anshi: "What other books do you have to sell?" ”

Zhang Anshi said honestly: "These eight pen talks, at most one edition a year, this edition can certainly reap huge profits, but the minister thinks that it is ...... If you want to make money sustainably, you must first do not exhaust the water and catch fish. ”

Zhu Di bowed: "You tell me directly, what are you going to sell." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "With the eight-strand pen talk, there is a channel, the next thing to do is to borrow this channel, those agents, will inevitably rely on the eight-share pen talk and the business is thriving, their bookstore will be opened to the provincial capital, the state capital and even the county, so why don't Your Majesty ...... What is it to print? Like what...... Resemble...... Di Bao? ”

Di Bao?

Zhu Di was taken aback.

The so-called Di Bao first appeared in the Han Dynasty, and it has naturally been used in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the imperial court has all kinds of decrees, and there are some decrees that the palace intends to issue, it is impossible to send eunuchs out every day to convey them, but each state and county always needs someone to understand the movement of the capital, so the Di Bao came into being.

Generally speaking, there will be some personnel stationed in Beijing in each prefecture and county, and their main task is to do liaison work between the emperor and various ministries and departments, and regularly collect official documents such as the emperor's edicts, edicts, and ministers' recitals, as well as relevant information on palace affairs, and then send them to the parents and officials of each prefecture and county by messengers on fast horses.

What happened in the imperial court, what recent movements in the palace, and personnel changes in the court, these information were combined together, and almost became the basis for the administration of parents and officials in various states and counties.

In the Ming Dynasty, this situation was even more common, such as the Ming Dynasty's General Administration, which did this kind of work, they would sort out the recent will and recitals, and then print them into a Di Bao, of course, this kind of Di Bao is not sold, but purely for people in various states and counties to copy, so that they can be sent back to the state and county.

Zhu Di thought for a while, frowned, and said, "This mansion is ...... It was originally for the governors of the states and counties, and the scholars would buy it? ”

"Yes." Zhang Anshi said categorically, and then said: "The so-called Xiucai knows the affairs of the world without going out, these scholars are already concerned about national affairs, but in the past, the news they received was often based on false rumors, among which there were many rumors, many of which were slanderous in the palace. ”

When Zhu Di heard the word slander, he squinted at Zhang Anshi and taught Zhang Anshi to feel uncomfortable.

Zhang Anshi continued: "But if you use a newspaper with a relatively low price and a very convenient channel, then why don't readers buy it? ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "How many copies can you sell and earn money?" ”

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "It depends on ...... Your Majesty's thoughts. ”

Zhu Di closed his eyes: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Anshi said patiently: "If Your Majesty is unintentional, then just earn a little, anyway, this agency channel does not need to be in vain, more or less...... Anyway, there is always a profit, but if you want to make a lot of money...... The minister has a word, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Zhu Di opened his eyes, looked at him seriously and said, "It's okay for you to say." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, in the imperial examination of my Ming Dynasty, I must not only test the eight shares, but also test the policy theory, and this policy theory, often the county examination does not need to be examined, as for the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, and the meeting examination, although they also have to be examined, most of them are ...... Everyone only uses eight strands to judge the length and shortness, and it doesn't matter whether the strategy is written or not. ”

"This strategy is actually a suggestion to the imperial court, reflecting the candidates' views on the current situation, in fact, the most test of the ability of the scholars, it is precisely because of the neglect of the imperial examination that those scholars don't care in order to seek fame!"

"But Your Majesty...... What if the imperial court also added a policy test to the county examination? You know, the prefectural exam is the most elementary exam, and it is also the exam with the most people. Moreover, if the imperial court focuses on some policies, even if it is only a little bit. For example, candidates whose strategies are too poor, no matter how good they are, will not be admitted. Your Majesty, think about it, don't you think about it a little bit? ”

Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "The essence of the policy theory lies in the grasp of the current situation, what the imperial court advocates, what the emperor has recently decreed and intends to do, or what the princes in the court are worried about. ”

"In this way, the scholars under the sky still don't report this mansion to go crazy? If you don't read the newspaper, you don't know the affairs of the world, and you don't know the affairs of the world, you can't get fame...... And once even the children's examination is examined, then there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people in the world who are interested in the imperial examination, and there will even be millions of people in the future. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was furious, glared at Zhang Anshi, and scolded angrily: "You fuck, what are these words!" The imperial examination is a great ceremony for talents, and you have the audacity to regard this as a tool for profit, which is a disaster for the country and the people! I see that you are looking at money, and you are crazy about money. ”

Zhu Di was obviously angry, Zhang Anshi was not afraid, but said: "Your Majesty, the strategy is the examination subject set when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, but later, the examiners only cared about the eight shares, and the light policy theory, what the ministers played, just set things right." ”

Zhu Di frowned and thought for a while, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he brushed his beard and said, "So that's the case?" If this is the case, then I should indeed follow the law of my ancestors, Emperor Taizu Gao is far-sighted, since he is a scholar with eight shares and strategies, I should follow the rules of Xiao, if not, it is a great unfilial piety. ”

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty's filial piety touches the heavens and the earth. ”

Zhu Di unconsciously hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "I scolded you just now, for your own good, to teach you not to think about money with a stomach, and not everything in this world can be determined by money." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded very obediently at this time and said: "Yes, Your Majesty's teachings are thought-provoking, and the minister will definitely reflect on it next time." ”

Regarding Zhang Anshi's performance, Zhu Di bowed his head with satisfaction: "The matter of Di Bao...... Do what you want. When will it be available? ”

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "I'm afraid it will take some days." ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is still working hard to study the ink of papermaking and printing. ”

Zhu Di was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Papermaking? Printing ink? The best paper and ink in the world...... I have them all here, how many craftsmen and manpower do you need? ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Chen's paper and ink are not made of paper for good, but for bad, just like those eight strands of pen talk, with the least cost, to make the most inferior paper...... This one...... This ......"

Zhu Di suddenly took a sharp breath, good guy, this guy ...... It's a bit shameless!

People are eager to improve the process and make things better and better, but he is good, but he is doing the opposite.

In fact, on its papermaking, here can be regarded as the ancestor of papermaking, from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, a variety of new papermaking processes have emerged, now in the Ming Dynasty, such as rice paper, Guanyin paper and other paper, is compared with the paper of later generations is not far behind.

But Zhang Anshi's mind is different, he wants to make inferior paper, the cheaper the better, and the material is best to use cheap bamboo, or hemp, straw, which is almost worthless materials.

When Zhang Anshi made eight strands of paper for pen talks, he spent a lot of money! The problem is that it is also a difficult craft to make inferior paper, and to print it on ink without shading!

This time, Zhang Anshi gathered a lot of skilled craftsmen, the purpose is to solve these problems at the lowest cost.

Now that we have already begun to have some eyebrows, the next thing to do is to improve the printing process, that is, how to print small print on such inferior paper.

At this time, the font of the books was very large, and such a large character was really a waste of paper.

Of course, Zhang Anshi didn't expect that this font could be as small as the newspapers of later generations, but at least ...... You can't waste his money, you have to control the cost.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi's successful appearance, and he didn't bother to care about him, so he said: "Anyway, in the spring of next year, let me get it out, I want to see what kind of reputation your mansion newspaper is!" Of course, it's not that I'm rare to make this money, but I mainly want to see if your idea is good or bad. ”

"When you are ready, you will play it to me, and I will issue an order to the Secretary of State to cooperate with you at any time, so that they can send the news of the new mansion to you as soon as possible."

Zhang Anshi smiled happily: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Yao Guangxiao has been sitting silently on the side, but the Buddha's heart is swaying.

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, they were dumbfounded.

"Amitabha, Amitabha ......"

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but look at Yao Guangxiao and said, "Does Yao Gong also want to get involved?" ”

Yao Guangxiao immediately said: "Poor monks and outsiders, money and things, if you don't bring them in life, you don't bring them in death, it's useless to ask for them." ”

Zhang Anshi smiled happily: "But I have heard of a saying, called Buddha is rich!" ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "There are many kinds of monks, and there are all kinds of differences. ”

At that moment, Zhu Di saw that it was not early, and was finally willing to drive back to the palace.

Xie Jin and the others, who had been waiting outside for a long time, followed by themselves.

It's just that when Zhu Di returned to the palace, he obviously still didn't understand the hatred in his heart, and in front of Xie Jin and the three of them, he said to Yisha: "The one surnamed Zhou will definitely crack the car, and say to Ji Gang that I will be severely punished." ”

It is also missing.

Zhu Di sat in front of the imperial table, gently stroking the case with his hand, but said with a cold face: "Zhou Kang is shameless, if you want to teach hundreds of officials, you must take it as a warning, if there are any more such people, I will not leave any of them." ”

Xie Jin and the three of them were uneasy, but they all said: "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Zhou Kang is not only shameless, but the most hateful thing is that this person is still a foolish official, a mediocre official!" Such a person, am I still young? After thinking about it, the fundamental problem of being an official is that he is a fool, and even a fool is a fool, so that he doesn't know it, so that the people's livelihood withers and the people suffer. ”

Xie Jin and the others said again: "What Your Majesty said, whip into it." ”

Zhu Di's eyes were uncertain, and then he said slowly: "It can be seen that it is not appropriate to take scholars with only eight shares, when Emperor Taizu Gao, he not only focused on eight shares, but also focused on policy theory, and the most test of this policy theory is the reader's understanding of the family and the country!" ”

"I see...... In the future, this boy's test will also be added to the policy theory, as for other such as the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, etc., and not negligent policy theory, if the policy theory is qualified, the eight shares will measure the admission standard, but if even the policy theory is not qualified, no matter how good the eight shares are, what is the use? ”

Xie Jin, you look at me, I'll look at you, but it is obvious that this strategy is indeed a compulsory subject for the imperial examination formulated by Emperor Taizu Gao, and the reason why the examiners are heavy on eight shares is actually just that the officials below are partial to the eight shares.

In their opinion, the eight strands can really test the knowledge of the reader, as for the strategy...... Actually, it doesn't matter.

It's just that now His Majesty is in a rage, and he has a few Xie Jin, although he thinks that the boy is still trying to make a decision, which is really a bit embarrassing for the reader.

But now he can only say: "Since it is the law of the ancestors, the ministers also seconded it." ”

……

A few days later, Zhou Kang was dragged by a prisoner cart to the outside of the county office in Shangyuan County.

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the last scene of his life began.

In this performance, there are people and beasts, there is blood, and there is also hysterical emotional exposure.

As if they had mastered the traffic code of the performing arts of later generations, almost all the spectators covered their eyes while holding their fingers open a gap and persevered until the end.

It's just that this matter is very troublesome, and many readers feel like a man in their backs when they hear about it, and their hearts are cold.

Soon after, there were many tea shops with various stories of how Zhang Anshi framed Zhou Kang.

These stories have noses and eyes, and they describe Zhou Kang's five lectures on four beauties, how to be moral, how to study hard after he was a child, how to study hard after that, how to become a high school scholar, and how to serve as an official, sympathize with the people, and how the people praise his deeds, which can be described as flesh and blood.

As for Zhang Anshi, of course, it is impossible to have a good image, it is nothing more than a relative, flattering the emperor, how to bully men and women when he is young, how to frame Zhou Kang, how to be obscene......

As a result, many people gritted their teeth, and the scholars who clenched their fists even scolded in the tea shop: "I don't share the sky with the traitor." ”

"This Mao Xiang of my Yongle Dynasty will have retribution sooner or later in the future."

Mao Xiang is the commander of the Jinyi Guard during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, it is said that he presided over Hu Weiyong's case, involving a lot of people, in the Yongle Dynasty, has been rendered as a cool official who can stop children crying at night.

"This person is even worse than Mao Xiang, black-hearted and wealthy, and he doesn't want his face."

Probably out of all the evaluations, only this one sentence is true.

Of course, Zhang Anshi doesn't care about this.

At this time, others were in the East Palace, checking Zhu Zhanji's homework.

After patiently listening to Zhu Zhanji's stumbling recitation of the Analects, Zhang Anshi said happily: "It's amazing, it's amazing, my family Zhanji can already be a great Confucian." ”

Zhu Zhanji pouted, frowned and said, "Uncle, but the masters said that I didn't read well." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a serious face: "In the eyes of my uncle, you are the best." ”

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head and said, "The mother concubine also said that I am not good." ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "Uncle thinks you are great." ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt that it seemed that his uncle didn't have so many bad problems, and for a while, he felt that his uncle's image had also become great.

"The mother concubine also said that my uncle has been out of business recently."

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course, the Zhang family will rely on me in the future, it is your mother, that is, my sister, and I will also be the biggest backer of her mother's family in the future. ”

Zhu Zhanji continued to frown and said, "But the mother concubine said...... can't be like my uncle, sometimes I'm idle, and I talk nonsense all day long. ”

Zhang Anshi was angry, and said angrily: "Your mother's words can't be trusted, women are Taoists, with long hair and short eyes, don't tell your mother about the above words." ”

Zhu Zhanji said very embarrassedly: "But I can't hide things in my heart, I want to say anything to my mother, I listen to my mother the most." ”

Zhang Anshi was stunned, and immediately said, "Then I will leave." ”

said that he was saying goodbye, but Zhang Anshi still went to Zhang's place to play an autumn breeze, Zhang was holding a book, watching the money and food in and out of the East Palace recently, and he didn't raise his eyelids to look at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi smiled: "Sister, I've come to see you." ”

Zhang's chin bowed: "You are also willing to come." ”

"Sister, I just saw Zhu Zhanji."

Zhang's eyes still fell on the account book: "He has been studying hard these days. ”

"But I think that although reading is hard, it is not good, and I have found that he now knows how to deceive people."

When Zhang heard this, he became cautious, and finally raised his eyes: "What's the matter, he has always been very well-behaved." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "He is young, he likes to be jealous too much, he wants to compare with me in everything, and he knows that Sister Ah loves my brother the most, so he said bad things about me to the eunuchs, Sister ...... I'm so hard, everybody is jealous of me. ”

Zhang couldn't help but smile: "You are the one who is an uncle, and you are still angry with the child." ”

Zhang Anshi said happily: "What Sister said is that no matter how much Zhan Ji slanders my reputation in the future, I don't hate him." Sister, what are you doing? ”

"Settle accounts." Zhang's Road.

"Reckoning?"

Zhang had to put down the account book and said: "In the past few months in the East Palace, I have earned some silver by weaving, and now your brother-in-law is ordered to take care of the affairs of the household department, this is what my father wants your brother-in-law to share his worries about!" ”

"Your brother-in-law checked the accounts and found that the treasury is really difficult, and Zheng He's fleet will come back soon, and his father plans to let him patrol the Western Ocean in the coming year, think about it, how much silver does it cost to build ships and recruit sailors? My father is a man with great ambitions, and what he wants to do is a thousand years of achievements, but he can't do it without silver. ”

(End of chapter).
