"What? The dog died? ”

Zhu Hu's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

Although he wanted to strangle Li Jinglong, but when he thought that he might be poisoned by himself, Zhu Hu still couldn't stand it. Quickly turned around and ran, ordered his subordinates, and prepared a large bucket...... Manure juice.

It's still the steaming kind.

Directly sent to Li Jinglong's face.

"Don't say anything, for the sake of survival, hurry up and drink!"

Li Jinglong is simply crazy, I am a dignified seven-foot man, I would rather die than drink dung!

And it looks a little familiar.

"Your Highness, this can't be what I just made, right?"

Zhu Hu was anxious, "You talk so much nonsense?" Isn't it good that the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders! If you can vomit, you don't want to live! ”

Li Jinglong is also anxious, if he drinks this, even if he is alive, it is almost like death!

"Your Highness...... You ask no, how did that dog die? ”

Xu Jingchang finally reminded him, Zhu Hu was stunned, how did he die?

Of course it was poisoned, otherwise how would it have died?

He finally called the butler and asked carefully.

"What the hell is going on with that rhubarb?"

The housekeeper said bitterly: "The little ones don't know, but I just heard them say that the rhubarb ran out, and a carriage galloped by, and suddenly knocked the rhubarb away, the wheels ran over, and the blood spattered on the road, which was extremely miserable!" ”

After he finished speaking, Li Jinglong suddenly screamed.

How miserable can a dog be?

I'm the worst!

This butler is panting loudly, it's just a damn thing!

He jumped up and tried to pinch the butler to death.

However, his stomach was rumbling again, so he could only turn around and run, and went to the thatched house again.

After going back and forth several times, I finally calmed down.

As the saying goes, a good man can't stand three bubbles of, Li Jinglong's face is green when he runs through the thatched house, his legs are as soft as noodles, and there are gold stars in front of him, and the sky is dark.

Fortunately, he was in good health, otherwise he would have really gone to the Netherworld to report.

Xu Jingchang watched silently from the side, and he understood Zhu Gaosui's reminder that Zhu Huan's side should not try anything at all, otherwise he would become an innocent guinea pig.

"I said His Royal Highness King Zhou, I admit it, if you want to print books, I will also pay for it...... I'm begging you, can we both uncover the past? ”

Zhu Hu didn't seem to hear his words, but said to himself: "It seems that the bean leaves are used less, or they eat too much...... I'm going to rethink it. It's my rhubarb, why did it suddenly run out? Could it be that if you eat Shang Lu, you will go crazy? ”

Zhu Hu suddenly looked at Li Jinglong, "Cao Guogong, do you want to run outside now?" ”

Li Jinglong cried, "I'm a human, not a dog!" I beg your Highness, spare me! ”

Zhu Hu finally nodded, but said again: "You can't be considered a human being, what you did to me before, you also instigated the separation of father and son...... You're a dog! There's no more dog than you! ”

Li Jinglong didn't bother to refute, firstly, because he had no strength, and secondly, because he was at the mercy of Jianwen at the beginning, he really owed it to these old friends who grew up together.

Zhu Hu scolded for a while, and seeing that Li Jinglong was silent, he also felt bored.

asked Xu Jingchang again, "You used to be a political envoy, you must have experience, you told me how much money it costs to print this book?" I'll see if I can make it up? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Your Highness, do you want to rely on your own money to print books?" ”

"It's not just mine, but also Cao Guogong's, he promised to pay."

Li Jinglong rolled his eyelids weakly, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Highness, this book can be sent out as much as it is printed, nor can it be sent out so that the people can get it,"

Zhu Lu groaned: "Then what should I do? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "I have thought of a way, isn't this the autumn harvest imminent!" The common people have to pay the autumn grain. We took advantage of this time to print a batch of pamphlets, and everyone who paid taxes was given one free of charge. As for the cost of printing, let Your Majesty pay for it. ”

Xu Jingchang glanced at Zhu Gaosui again, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, you might be able to print books quickly?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Yes, but you have to add money!" ”

Xu Jingchang didn't worry, "Anyway, it's your father, as for him giving you real money or fried meat with bamboo shoots, only God knows." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but hum: "Don't bother, it's inevitable to stir-fry meat with bamboo shoots." For more than a year, my father has been talking about enriching the treasury every day, and I think the third child can't run away from this beating. ”

Zhu Gaosui cried, "Second brother, why do you say it's always me who gets hurt?" You can't keep bullying me! ”

It was Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, who got up and said, "I'll go and talk to the fourth brother, even if the fourth brother can't get the money, I won't let him beat you casually." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui was moved, "Fifth uncle, in this malicious world, that is, you can give your little nephew a little warmth, I am so pitiful." ”

Zhu Gaosui was miserable, and Li Jinglong was miserable.

Xu Jingchang was in a good mood, and he chatted with Zhu Hu for a while, mainly talking about this book.

Two days later, Zhu Hu found an opportunity to meet Zhu Di with Xu Jingchang.

"Fifth brother, why are you free? It won't be the fourth brother asking for money, right? Zhu Di joked.

Zhu Hu's old face turned red, "Your Majesty, my younger brother has been busy sorting out these days, and he has indeed compiled a book of famine-saving herbs, I asked Dingguo Gong to read it." ”

Zhu Lu set his eyes on Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this book of His Royal Highness King Zhou is really interesting. He collected not medicines, but edible wild vegetables. It is called famine relief, and it is to teach the people to distinguish between species. The minister thought that the merit was great and useful. After it was printed, the merit was immeasurable. ”

Zhu Di said: "What you said is so lively, what are you going to do?" To put it bluntly, how much do you want to spend? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the king of Zhou have discussed, and the minister plans to take the opportunity of the autumn harvest to print a batch and give it to the people free of charge, so that the big guy can take it home, read it well, and increase his knowledge." ”

"Do you just need to pay for it?" Zhu Di's summary is in place.

Zhu Hu could only nod, "Your Majesty, my brother also knows that there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, and the treasury is tight, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to be gracious, and I will reward you with some money, so that a batch can be printed." The younger brother was willing to take out all his money and savings...... Mine is not enough, and Cao Guogong's. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, obviously Xu Jingchang came over, why did you mention Li Jinglong?

"Your Majesty, Cao Guogong is still recuperating at home at this time, and he has a little internal injury...... But His Majesty is assured that he is indeed willing to give generously. Xu Jingchang said seriously.

Zhu Di snorted, "Are you not willing to give generously and take out some money?" ”

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, and if he really wanted him to pay, it would be too much.

I've already given you Zhu Di an official, why do you want me to pay for it?

If you're the boss, you're going to lose all your employees.

Zhu Di said with a stiff face: "It's not that I don't want to pay money, it's that the treasury is very empty...... The flood in western Zhejiang, the treatment of Taihu Lake, Yu Yu reported 2 million taels to me. The rebuilding of the three major halls required 3.5 million taels. Gather the rebels, pacify the localities, exterminate the bandits, and help the people return to their homeland to live and work in peace and contentment...... There is also the construction of ships to prepare for the Western Ocean, which is another 1.8 million taels. ”

Zhu Di calculated, and said helplessly: "I don't know the price of firewood and rice, but I sat on the dragon chair to realize the difficulty of the imperial examination." You need to spend money everywhere, but that's all you have in your hand, and I'm embarrassed! ”

In the face of Zhu Di's crying poverty, the honest man Zhu Hu soon had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, it's your brother who is ignorant and has caused trouble to Your Majesty."

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, what are you talking about?" Your book has great merit, and I have no money in my hand at the moment, and in a few years, when the treasury is abundant, I will definitely contribute money to help you publish this book and promulgate it all over the world...... By the way, let Xu Jingchang testify to me! ”

Xu Jingchang blinked, I won't testify to you!

And you don't want to be the stupid white sweet like King Zhou, whether you have money or not, I know better than you.

Xu Jingchang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, after reading the book of His Royal Highness King Zhou, the minister felt a lot of emotion...... His Royal Highness King Zhou has a pure temperament, and was taught by Emperor Taizu and Empress Xiaoci Gao when he was young, caring for the people and caring about the people's livelihood and suffering. He is kind-hearted and has great compassion. He grew up with His Majesty, and His Majesty must have experienced it too. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "You're right, the fifth brother is true." It's just that he is such a kind person, and he was sent to Yunnan and suffered a lot, and I am very distressed. ”

Xu Jingchang immediately said: "That's right! Your Majesty, the minister is about to talk about this, how mad should he be to attack the pure and virtuous His Royal Highness King Zhou? A generation of virtuous kings, dedicated to the people, but was cut for no reason and distributed to barren land. It's just crazy, and heaven can't tolerate it! ”

Being touted like this, Zhu Hu is still a little unaccustomed.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's success in appeasing the throne, I have been restored to the throne, which is all Your Majesty's work."

Xu Jingchang said: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, this is just one of them, although you have been demoted, the situation is not safe." But he still has the people in mind, and during this time, he explored the mountains and tried wild vegetables in person, which can be called the contemporary Shennong. I was poisoned several times and escaped death to have this book, which is really not easy! ”

Zhu Hu moved his buttocks, his face was red, and he was obviously embarrassed.

Contemporary Shennong, escaped death?

No, in fact, the book was roughly compiled before the cutting of the domain, but it lacked a suitable opportunity to publish it. And what tried to eat wild vegetables, poisoned several times...... Where did you hear about things I don't know?

"Dingguo Gong, you have an overreputation, an overreputation."

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything to Zhu Di, but faced Zhu Di and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be widely informed, so that the people of the world can understand what it means to truly serve the people." It's like King Zhou, not those corrupt Confucians and traitors who talk about the rule of three generations with empty mouths and white teeth! Your Majesty, if you don't make clear what has happened in the past four years as soon as possible, so that the people can understand right and wrong, I'm really afraid that some people will turn black and white upside down! ”

Zhu Di frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard that some people collected Fang Xiaoru's bones and buried them outside the Jubao Gate, and some people paid a high price to buy Xiaoru's poems and articles."

When Zhu Di heard this, he was furious, "What a bold son, he actually summoned the soul of the rebel minister!" Am I a dead man? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, please ask Your Majesty to help correct and dispel evil, and prevent the slightest slight!" ”

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "Allocate 300,000 taels of silver from the treasury to print books for the fifth brother...... Also, Jin Yiwei must track down and see who summoned Fang Xiaoru's soul! ”
