Chapter 256: I Want to Save
Zhu Bai is also asking the local bureaus to pay close attention to the payment situation of Guanyinzhuang, and once there is a delay in payment or even the silver to pay, he will report it immediately.
Because there must be cats in it.
A steady stream of information from all over the country came in.
All the payments made smoothly for all the money to be withdrawn.
Zhu Bai was surprised: so many Guanyinzhuang are all fine? It's amazing!
In other words, if there is a problem, it has been made up in time.
Interesting......
Although Zhu Bai didn't panic, he couldn't help but go to Guanyinzhuang to patrol.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the past, today the front door of Guanyinzhuang is crowded.
Only one man stood there arguing with the treasurer of Guanyinzhuang: "This king wants to deposit the silver and come in." ”
Shopkeeper: "Your Highness." The king of Xiang said that he would not accept the deposit for the time being, and waited for him to inform him. ”
Is there something wrong with this prince's brain? Everyone is taking money, and he is going to save it.
The key is not much, just two hundred taels......
Zhu Hu: "This king wants to save it, and after saving it, he will come to see you every day." ”
Zhu Bai couldn't cry or laugh, and stepped forward and said, "Ah, fifth brother." ”
Zhu Hu turned around: "Huh? You're back. ”
Zhu Bai: "Come on, come on, let's go upstairs for tea." ”
Zhu Bai pulled Zhu Hu, and then glanced at Fugui.
Fugui and the others hurriedly took Zhu Hu's silver off the counter, went in and put it on Zhu Bai's desk, and then took Zhu Hu's entourage down to rest.
Zhu Bai asked someone to bring tea and snacks to Zhu Hu, and said, "Why did the fifth brother suddenly want to come to Guanyin Village to deposit silver?" ”
Zhu Hu: "I heard that there is something wrong with your Guanyinzhuang. I don't know how to help you. That's all there is to it. ”
Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment, and was a little moved: "Don't worry, there's no problem." Take the money back. ”
Zhu Hu: "It's okay, it's useless for me to take it." Right here for you. I don't have much money to give you. ”
Zhu Bai sighed lightly: "Okay, then put it here for me, and I will give it to you according to the long-term interest." ”
He asked Fugui to take it down again, stored it in the silver village, and asked Zhu Hu: "How are you doing?" ”
Zhu Hu was very aggrieved: "You've been back for ten days, why didn't you come to see me?" ”
Zhu Bai sighed: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy." ”
In fact, there is still time to go around Zhu Hu's Mansion again, anyway, it is also a visit to other places every day.
Besides, he is still underage, and he doesn't have so many taboos.
He didn't go to Zhu Hu's house, mainly because several women in Zhu Hu's house were jealous and quarreled every day.
The housekeeper bullied Zhu Hu, and he could help Zhu Hu get ahead.
The fight between his wife and concubine is a private matter, and he really can't control it, so he can only stay away.
I heard that none of Zhu Hu's four or five wives and concubines were weak, probably because Zhu Hu didn't come out to uphold justice, and everyone could only rely on themselves and was unwilling to be suppressed by others, so they were all forced to become fierce women.
Besides, there are two pregnant women among them, and it doesn't seem right to help anyone.
Zhu Hu sighed lightly: "I know, I don't want to go back." ”
Zhu Bai was silent. Not to mention Zhu Hu's dough-like temperament, even he has a headache when he listens to it.
Zhu Hu: "Don't marry so many concubines in the future." ”
Zhu Bai continued to be silent.
Zhu Hu: "What kind of work do you have here, you can settle accounts and run errands, I'm so bored." ”
Zhu Bai: "Didn't you grow a lot of herbs?" How can it be boring. ”
Zhu Hu: "I'm pulling it all out." ”
Zhu Bai: "Huh? Why ......"
Zhu Hu: "It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, someone will use it to do something else......"
it! These women not only fight, quarrel, but also poison each other!
Zhu Bai instantly understood, his face was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
Think about how helpless and sour it must be for Zhu Hu to pull out all the herbs he had worked so hard to plant.
It's just that he is not good at expressing himself and will not show it on his face.
Zhu Lu said stubbornly: "So, do you have any work here, I don't want you to pay me, just let me have something to do." ”
Zhu Bai couldn't cry or laugh: Ah, hey, you are a prince, you can't let you entertain guests in the official tooth bureau, sweep the floor and serve tea.
Otherwise, Lao Zhu will have to kill me.
He thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, there is also a nursery in the backyard of the Guanya Bureau, which is quite large." You can grow something here. ”
He didn't know how to flash the figure of Nan Nan in his mind.
He added: "It's best to plant plants and trees that are not poisonous and can be used as food." ”
When Zhu Hu heard this, his eyes were dull and motionless.
Zhu Bai thought that he had accidentally hit him again, and called out cautiously: "Fifth brother." What happened to you. ”
Zhu Hu blinked: "Ah, that's great." Twelfth brother. I know what I'm going to do. In the past, Hangzhou was flooded, and the sowing of crops was damaged, so that the people had no food to eat. In fact, in addition to the things we plant, there are many fruits or leaves, roots, and skins of plants and trees that can be eaten. I already know a lot, and there must be a lot more that I don't know. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and I tasted a hundred grains. ”
He said so much in one breath, which surprised Zhu Bai.
Then without waiting for Zhu Bai to answer, he left like a gust of wind.
Then Zhu Bai heard Zhu Hu's voice downstairs and said, "Let's go." ”
Zhu Hu's entourage asked, "Where is Your Highness?" ”
Zhu Hu: "Go find some seeds and seedlings." ”
Then in the afternoon, Zhu Hu led people to plant plants in the flower garden in Zhu Bai's backyard.
The flowers are green, red, red, purple and purple, and there are all kinds of strange things.
Zhu Bai sighed: We don't know each other, and we don't dare to ask.
Zhu Hu excitedly pulled Zhu Bai who was passing by and said, "Twelfth brother, you come, you come, this is chervil, this is purple cloud cabbage, all of them can be eaten." And these should be edible, but I don't know the taste, so I have to grow them and try them to find out. I plan to draw the flowers, leaves, stems, and roots of these plants and trees in detail, and then indicate the taste, edible parts, habits, medicinal properties, and so on. It's the same as "Compendium of Materia Medica", ah, by the way, my book is called "Materia Medica". In the future, if there is a famine, the people will be able to find food by themselves with this book, and they will not have to wait for the relief food from the imperial court. ”
Zhu Bai nodded: "It's good, it's good." ”
In fact, when it comes to the famine, what is poisonous and not poisonous will be eaten up by the people.
Besides, many people don't know how to read at all.
And it's autumn, and there is a chance that the plants planted will not survive.
It's just that he doesn't want to hit Zhu Hu.
Let him be, he'll be happy.
-----
Lao Zhu finally set three questions, but he didn't tell anyone what the questions were.
He re-copied the test questions by hand, put them into a small brass tube, sealed them with seals, and locked them in the cabinet where the jade seal was kept.
On the day of the township examination, he would take it out with his own hands and hand it over to the eunuch who passed the decree, and then the eunuch rode a horse and galloped to the Yingtianfu Ya, where the township examination was held, and Chen Nanbin opened it under the witness of the two deputy examiners.
Dozens of people spend an hour copying hundreds of copies, and no one is allowed to enter or leave during the copying process.
When the candidate enters the examination room, he immediately sends the exam questions down.
Only the person who copied it can leave.
