Chapter 133: Lao Zhu's wrist

Solving the start-up capital made Zhu Su feel good. I wanted to go back to the village, but half of the guards were taken by Li Jinglong to help the Shen family recover the money taken away by Diao Nu. So he stayed in the prince's mansion in the city for the night.

Zhu Biao and Chang warmly welcomed Zhu Su, looking at Chang's already pregnant belly, which was about to give birth in a few months. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will add a new emperor's eldest grandson.

Looking at Chang's ruddy complexion, Zhu Su also relaxed slightly. It seems that this sister-in-law is raising very well, and there should be no loss of health.

Speaking of which, Chang's is actually only twenty-eight years old this year. I have already told Zhu Biao that women who have not grown up are prone to die in childbirth, and I think that after Zhu Biao, he will not let Chang's continuous production as in history.

It should be able to save the life of this respectable and lovely woman.

The eldest brother Zhu Biao has now gradually begun to look at things, because Zhu Su told him the reason for his death, Zhu Biao did not go out to inspect on behalf of Lao Zhu as in history, but on the contrary, Lao Zhu asked more for his familiarity with government affairs. The position of governor in the newly formed cabinet was specially set up for Zhu Biao, and it was also because of the identity of the prince that he was able to compete with Zhongshu Province, and even faintly overwhelmed Zhongshu Province and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Zhongshu Province is mostly Huaixi Xun, and the cabinet is mostly Qingliu officials, so it is regarded as the hope of Qingliu and is respected by many Qingliu officials. Taking the opportunity of serving in the cabinet, Zhu Biao also got along with the Qingliu civil officials. He was gentle and elegant, a corporal of courtesy, and soon gained the support of Qingliu. In addition, when he was young, he followed Lao Zhu to move among the nobles of Huaixi, and his wife was still the daughter of Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, and was the hardcore prince supported by the nobles of Huaixi.

However, in a few months, the Qingliu and Huaixi factions, which had originally shown signs of-for-tat confrontation between the DPRK and China, actually showed a happy appearance because Zhu Biao served in the cabinet.

Zhu Su had to admire Lao Zhu's political ability. Lao Zhu, who knew the history of later generations, became more sophisticated. Zhu Su should have just been a cabinet policy based on the script, but he lightly added a prince to sit in the cabinet, which completely quelled the hidden danger of party strife between the DPRK and China.

Except for Zhongshu Province, all the forces have been integrated.

Under the leadership of Lao Zhu, this force will become a peerless blade that opens up a new era. And the next step for this sharp blade is to abolish the province of Zhongshu and dismiss the prime minister!

I don't know if Hu Weiyong is trembling at this time.

After chatting with Zhu Biao for a while about the situation between the DPRK and China, Zhu Biao tried his best to stay, and Zhu Su decided to rest overnight in the Prince's Mansion. The envoy informed Li Jinglong that he would also go back to the Cao Guo Mansion to visit the elders, and come back to the Prince's Mansion the next day to meet.

The next day, Li Jinglong came to the prince's mansion with red eyes, and Zhu Su, who was nibbling on a fritter, couldn't help but be surprised: "Jiujiang, what's wrong?" Look at your eye frames, have you ever cried? ”

"Could it be because you've turned black, and my aunt doesn't like it?"

"I exercised in the village, and my body was a lot stronger, so my grandfather didn't like it." Li Jinglong shook his head, took a snot snot, and sat down to pick up a fritter. "It's just that my grandfather's health is getting worse and worse. These days, I am always afraid of the cold, and I start to feel sleepy during the day. ”

"I'm so worried about him...... Alas. As he spoke, he took a hard bite of the fritters.

Li Jinglong's grandfather, Li Zhen, is Lao Zhu's brother-in-law and the only living relative of Lao Zhu's generation. Old Zhu Su values this brother-in-law, this Zhu Su's aunt is also a sincere person, and often says to their juniors: "Once you are rich and forget about poverty, a gentleman will not do anything." ”

Among the many relatives of the old Zhu family, Li Zhen is the oldest, and he believes that he should set an example for his children and grandchildren. Usually, he only dresses for the fit, not for the gorgeous, and the food he eats is only palatable, not luxurious. Lao Zhu often gave him clothes, but if he wore them out, he had to sew them up and wear them again. He also often told his children and grandchildren earnestly about what it was like when he was an ordinary peasant.

Li Jinglong was also very filial to his grandfather. This time, when I went home and saw that he was unwell, it was normal for him to have red eyes under the discomfort in his heart.

Zhu Su secretly recalled, remembering that Li Zhenhongwu had only passed away in eleven years, and thinking that this illness was not a big problem, so he comforted Li Jinglong and said: "It's okay, my aunt is guarded by the imperial doctor in the palace, and now he has nothing to do, and he will definitely be cured soon." ”

"Bifeng Mountain is beautiful, it is a good place to retire. It's better to build a beautiful house and take my aunt and father to live with you. ”

As soon as he heard this, although Li Jinglong still had fritters stuffed in his mouth and couldn't respond, he couldn't help but nod frantically in agreement. Zhuangzi is indeed a good place, you can run horses, wrestle and idle to watch the sunset and sink into the mountains, which is a kind of freedom that you have never experienced when you are a gentleman in the city. It's hard to train tired, but I'm used to it. If I don't hear the wake-up whistle today, I will make my heart empty.

My grandfather had been talking about the countryside all his life, and if he could go out of the city to live, he would be happy.

Zhu Biao has already gone to the cabinet. Farewell to the crown princess Chang, Zhu Su and Li Jinglong took the guards on the way back to the village. When I arrived at Zhuangzi, it was still morning, and I saw two teams of soldiers outside the village, one long and one short, running and practicing in the morning. One team is more than ten guards who stayed in Zhuangzi, and the other team is Zhu Shouqian with Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong.

Zhu Shouqian's body bones have also been trained, and now he is strutting with his head held high, and he has lost a little bit of the appearance of the stubborn gentleman, and he is quite majestic in front of the two. Xu Yungong and Fang Xiaoru, who had changed into short coats behind them, ran straight out of breath, and the old man stuck out his tongue so much that he didn't care about the face of the little grandfather and the so-called decency of the literati.

"Look at those two, it's really embarrassing!" Li Jinglong gloated from afar.

Zhu Su glanced at him, and said in his heart, you didn't go well when you first started. looked at Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong again, and felt that this military training system was really good, didn't I see that the two people's shelves had been almost polished?

The point is that they can't lie down enough every day like dead dogs, and they don't have the heart to pester themselves to ask this and that. I can fish for two more days.

Spread! The excellent system of military training must be popularized in the academies to be built!

To Zhu Su's surprise, the Shen family's silver was delivered quickly, and the team was led by a fat man who looked quite like Shen Rong. When he arrived in Zhuangzi, his attitude was very low, and he smiled before speaking, which was quite likable: "The little Shen Wang is the brother of Shen Rong, the head of the Shen family. ”

"You are Shen Rong's younger brother?" Zhu Su nodded, which was considered a courtesy. Glancing back, he saw the silver winter melons that were moved out of the car, and smiled slightly: "Your Shen family is very thick?" This king commanded you yesterday, and you have raised enough silver this afternoon. ”

"The silver that came out of the Shen family's cellar is actually enough? Tsk......" he said, looking at Shen Wang with dangerous eyes. A merchant in the early Ming Dynasty was able to hide five million dollars of cash in the cellar. What do these people do on weekdays, and get money so quickly?

"Your Highness has misunderstood! Misunderstanding! Shen Wang hurriedly explained with a sweat. It was the brother who was afraid that he would delay for too long and miss His Highness's business, so he wrote an IOU and went to other homes on credit first, and made up enough silver. ”

"When the cash deposit from my Shen family's hometown in Jiangsu arrives, then I will knock on the door one by one and return it to others."

"How could my Shen family suddenly take out such a large amount? I have to go back to my hometown in Jiangsu to sell some ancestral property to barely make up ......"

As he spoke, he winked at Zhu Su a few times. Shen Wang said pitiful, Zhu Su had already understood that this was the Shen family's loyalty. The borrower has to pay interest, and Shen Wang didn't mention the interest at all, it seems that the Shen family wants to use the interest to sell Zhu Su's favor. As for selling your ancestral property, your Shen family is also a previous generation that has just made a fortune, so what ancestral property can you have.

However, Zhu Su was a lot more relieved. If a mere businessman could come up with such a large amount of cash at any time, then he should really consider suggesting that Lao Zhu think about how to confiscate these wealthy businessmen in name only, and completely overthrow this class.
