Zhu Bai shook to the official tooth bureau, and the newly recruited fat man Hu Dafa saluted Zhu Bai: "Twelve masters." ”

Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "It's hard work." Then went in.

A young broker who was also at the door, who had just been free, asked Hu Dafa in a low voice: "By the way, didn't you say that you are from Changzhou, and you are not a businessman, why did you come to the official tooth bureau that day." Besides, with your skills, going to the barracks, making a military merit, and eating the emperor's food is not better than standing at the door here? ”

Although the income of the official tooth bureau is good, no matter how you think about it, it is still not as comfortable as being an official.

Hu Dafa sighed: "Alas, I also made a mistake and hated it for thousands of years. ”

The agent felt more and more strange, but no matter how he asked, Hu Dafa refused to say more.

Zhu Bai never asks about his background, so the errand people in this official tooth bureau are also three religions and nine ranks, and there are all kinds of people.

Maybe Hu Dafa has something unspeakable about the past.

As he was talking, the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division came.

The commander went in to report to Zhu Bai.

The other soldiers rested in the doorway.

The agent chatted with the soldiers again: "By the way, you were originally all soldiers of the Gyeonggi guard, but now you have been transferred to the Soldiers and Horses, okay?" ”

The soldiers exchanged glances: What is good? It's so much better!

The military households of the Ming Dynasty have to be soldiers for generations, which is worse than being a slave.

One male from each military household went to the guard post to serve as a soldier, which was called the "regular army". The rest of the male family is called "surplus" or "amateur". When the regular army goes to the guard station, it must send at least one surplus soldier to help them live.

Originally, the imperial court gave each "regular army" food, fields and houses.

However, the layers of exploitation of the officials, the soldiers below could not get so much at all, and their lives were difficult, and there were endless labor.

I can't get out of it until I die.

Now that they have come to the Soldiers and Horses, although they have not left the military household, they are treated better than in the past, and they don't have to go to the battlefield.

So now the soldiers guarding Gyeonggi have a tacit understanding in their hearts, if they want to survive from this bitter sea, the only way is to go to the side of King Xiang.

It's just that if they say these words, they are afraid that they will be dragged back to the barracks, so they just laugh.

The agent raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Why don't you make a sound? ”

Hu Dafa said: "Hi. Don't embarrass others. ”

One of the slightly older patted the agent on the shoulder: "Good job." King Xiang is the best host I have ever met. ”

------

Lao Zhu summoned a few princes who had not yet become vassal lords, and the highest military governor of the territory in the future entered the Beijing in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It also meant that the feudal kings and the generals of the feudal domain could meet.

Lao Zhu told Zhu Bai today that he must go to the court and not run around, because among these generals is Zhu Bai's grandfather, Hu Mei, the Marquis of Linchuan who is now guarding Changsha.

When Zhu Bai was born, Hu Mei did not have the opportunity to visit the palace.

In the four years of Hongwu, Hu Mei was released to Changsha, and never returned to Yingtian during this period.

So this is the first time their grandfather and grandson have met.

After the Holy Shrine was erected today, he couldn't help but search for Zhu Bai in the main hall.

Seeing the small figure standing at the front of the military attaché, I couldn't help but have hot eyes.

Zhu Bai turned eight years old last month, and I don't know if it was because he didn't have enough food and clothing before, he was still much thinner than children of the same age.

I heard that in the past two years, Zhu Bai has been angry, and the life of the two mothers and sons in the palace has been much better.

At this moment, Zhu Bai was playing with the jade gui in his hand, and he didn't listen to what the courtier next to him was saying at all.

Hu Mei couldn't cry or laugh: There was a lot of noise outside, saying that Zhu Baigong was scheming and calculating. Actually, it's still a child.

After the ministers finished speaking, Zhu Biao stepped forward to report the latest and first inspection of the Guanya Bureau and the Guanjia Yinzhuang.

All the accounts are in order, there is no problem.

Then the imperial doctor stood up and said: "The minister thinks that the king of Xiang has withdrawn half of the profits from the official tooth and the official silver village, and this matter is inappropriate. ”

Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

You rotten people, except for spending our money and scolding us, you have no use for.

Our son helps us work, and you still don't allow us to give him money?!

Doctor Yushi: "The king of Xiang is young and enjoys such money, which is not good for the emperor, the court, and His Royal Highness himself." ”

Lao Zhu sneered: "When the disaster relief grain was not in place, more than 100 of your ministers were helpless, and it was our youngest son who came up with the method of establishing an official grain bank and deploying it across the country to solve the problem." The problem of the grain transporter eating grain, you have been arguing in the court for a few days, spitting everywhere, your face is red, and you haven't come up with a useful way, and it is also the end of the old twelve who said that salt is introduced for grain. The official tooth bureau, the official silver village, and the five cities of the Terracotta Division, he is in good order. At that time, why didn't you come out to plead guilty, saying that you were not as capable as a child at your age?! At this time, the money is making a lot of money, and you will be red-eyed, and you think it is not appropriate? If you want to come and get this silver, it depends on whether you are worthy or not?! ”

Doctor Yu Shi knelt down: "Your Majesty, this should have been the silver of the treasury." It is the prince's business to preside. ”

Lao Zhu laughed angrily: "Yes, yes, you know that you don't have the cheekiness to come directly to ask for silver, and a few days ago, we blocked the way for you to interfere in the official tooth bureau." Therefore you will tear it on the prince. We'll leave it here for now. As long as King Xiang is by our side for a day, we will only hand over these few things to him. Only he can do it. If you dare to be crooked in the court or write an excerpt, you will first hit 20 boards, and then go to Lingnan to plant lychees for us. ”

Doctor Yu Shi was covered in cold sweat and prostrate on the ground: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Lao Zhu looked at him coldly: "The low-rent house you live in is still proposed by Lao Twelve to raise money to build it." You can't be like this, and you have to break the bowl when you eat. You are also in your forties, and you should understand this by reading the books of the sages. ”

Doctor Yu Shi became more and more embarrassed, and prostrate on the ground: "The minister is ashamed. ”

The officials clearly understood the purpose of Zhu Bai's "kindness" at that time to spend money to build low-rent housing.

In order to prove their integrity, ten out of ten officials live in low-rent housing. Now that the eater has a soft mouth, that person's hands are short, how will Zhu Bai be impeached in the future.

If you move out, you can't tell you that you didn't have money to rent a house before, why do you suddenly have money again?

They glanced at Zhu Bai indignantly.

Zhu Bai covered his mouth with Yugui and yawned: boring......

These sour Confucians are loyal and patriotic on the surface, but they are brazen on the inside, and they are all hypocrites.

Lao Zhu scolded the official today, and he was in a very good mood.

After dispersing, Zhu Bai hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Father, I heard that the plum blossoms in the Heavenly Realm Temple are blooming well. Erchen wanted to go shopping. ”

Lao Zhu squinted at him: "Boy, what kind of bad water are you holding back?" When did you become so honest and go out and ask for our opinions? ”
