The process of 'subduing' Liu Jing was easier than Zhu Gui imagined.

Or that this is not 'subdued' at all, it's just that the other party has taken a fancy to Zhu Gui's ability.

This is the difference between this kind of famous descendants and ordinary readers.

Zhu Gui can imagine that if it weren't for Liu Bowen's 'recommendation', people like Liu Jing would never have thought of coming to Yunzhou.

After all, readers attach great importance to 'prestige', that is, influence, and if influence is described as a numerical value, then Zhu Gui's influence value must be negative.

On the contrary, this made Zhu Gui more curious about Liu Bowen, who claimed to be able to deduce the next five hundred years and called himself 'Xiao Zhuge '.

You must know that in the history he knows, Liu Bowen died of illness as early as the eleventh year of Hongwu.

And Zhu Gui didn't hear anyone talk about this famous minister at all during his time in Nanjing.

But now he knew that not only did he not die, but he had sent his own son to him.

Could it be that Liu Bowen saw something in Zhu Gui's body?

And why did Liu Bowen play dead? Has he already seen that Zhu Yuanzhang will liquidate the high-ranking ministers?

The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Gui felt that the name of this person who helped Zhu Yuanzhang lay down the Ming Dynasty became more unfathomable.

But no matter what, he was able to send his son to Zhu Gui's side, and he obviously valued Gui very much.

And Zhu Gui is indeed very short of talents who can take charge of themselves, although there are many officials in Datong Mansion, but they are all subordinate to the imperial court, and he can use money to 'buy' them and let them stand on his side.

But once it comes to a 'critical juncture', such as after the start of the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gui will definitely not obey Zhu Yunwen's policy of cutting the feudal domain.

Will these officials still be on his side then?

Even if they would on the surface, would Zhu Gui believe in this kind of relationship maintained by money?

Although Liu Jing will have this kind of consideration at that time, Zhu Gui believes that he can make the other party feel that only he can make Daming continue to prosper.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that Zhu Gui is so happy.

That night, the two talked until late at night, and finally fell asleep in the study.

The next day, Xu Miaoqing called the two of them up.

But this time, because Liu Jing is also here, she actually takes care of her own image.

This time, he didn't pinch Zhu Gui's ears and tell him to get up, but let the next person come in and the two of them prepared the items for grooming, and then told Zhu Gui very 'gently' that breakfast was ready.

Liu Jing has no doubt about him, after all, Xu Miaoqing is from a famous family, and he has been trained by various divorces since he was a child.

But Zhu Gui was like he knew Xu Miaoqing for the first time, but when he saw Liu Jing's expression, he quickly reacted and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After Zhu Gui, Xu Miaoqing, Xu Miaoyun and Liu Jing had breakfast together, Xu Miaoyun pulled Xu Miaoyun away again.

Her statement is to go to the health office to find Xu Yingxu to catch up.

Zhu Gui didn't say anything, but took Liu Jing to the Datong Chamber of Commerce and introduced him to the operation mode of this Chamber of Commerce.

Liu Jing found out that although the Datong Chamber of Commerce is also a chamber of commerce, it is very different from the loose chamber of commerce model in other places.

And there are various task bars next to it, each merchant can choose tasks according to their own ability, and the 'contribution points' obtained by doing tasks can be exchanged for a pass within the Chamber of Commerce.

This pass can be used to obtain a loan line at the Datong Money Village on the other side of the palace, allowing merchants to further develop their own workshops.

Although Liu Jing was initially a little resistant to the affairs between these businessmen, he soon discovered the pros and cons of this model.

After he asked several key questions, such as how to ensure the credibility of businessmen and how to win the trust of Datong Money, he found that it was the Daiwangfu who promoted the operation of the entire Datong Mansion business model behind the scenes.

This made Liu Jing have to sigh at Zhu Gui's vision again.

You must know that other feudal kings can be said to have nothing to do in their fiefdoms, and they can get all kinds of benefits.

For example, the annual salaries of the imperial court and the gifts of local forces and officials were enough for the local vassal kings to live a life of fine clothes and food.

Among the many vassal kings, only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is still doing some practical things and can frequently attack the Mongols.

In contrast, the ability of this acting king to set the country and the state is simply several streets away from Zhu Di.

In this way, it took the two of them a day to complete a main street in Datong Mansion.

It was really that there were too many things that made Liu Jing feel novel, and he realized that he had only known some scratches about the secret investigation he had been doing for a while.

The sun was waning, and the two sat in the box on the third floor of the restaurant next to the city gate.

Liu Jing's face was already full of admiration.

"I didn't expect that the prince has been here for more than half a year, and it has already made Yunzhou so prosperous, if the prince can ascend to the throne, presumably the Ming Dynasty will also usher in an unprecedented prosperity."

After speaking, Liu Jing suddenly showed a look of panic on his face, and was about to kneel down immediately, but was stopped by Zhu Gui first.

"Liu Qing doesn't have to be afraid, what he said just now is only known to you and this king, and it will not be passed on to the third person."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but his face showed shame: "I lost my words for a while, I am really ashamed of my father and the court." ”

When Zhu Gui heard this, he just waved his hand and said, "What does Liu Qing think about the current situation in the imperial court?" Today is the second day of the emperor's birthday banquet, does the king want to play to show his heart? ”

Liu Jing saw that Zhu Gui did not delve into the topic of his 'gaffes', and his face returned to normal.

"This memora is indeed to be written, but with the emperor's attitude towards the prince, how to write it needs to be studied."

Zhu Gui nodded when he heard this, and then motioned for Liu Jing to continue.

"I'll leave this matter to Liu Qing."

Liu Jing arched his hand, and then continued: "As for the situation in the capital, now that the prince is seriously ill and bedridden, I am afraid that in addition to the prince, all the kings will have ideas about the prince, but with the understanding of the emperor below, I am afraid that at this birthday banquet, the emperor will re-elect the next prince to solve the current situation." ”

Zhu Gui nodded again and asked, "What Qing said is even in line with the king's intentions, so according to Liu Qing's thoughts, which vassal king will be elected as the new crown prince?" ”

"This, I don't dare to discuss state affairs in the future."

Liu Jing waved his hand and said.

"It doesn't matter, this is Datong Mansion, not Nanjing City, even if it is Jinyiwei, this king can protect you thoroughly."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

Liu Jing pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and only after a moment did he say: "According to the following thoughts, in terms of prestige and influence, Yan Wang Sin is qualified to become the new crown prince. ”
