"No, no, no." Zhu Bai shook his head, "The fifth brother is different from me in Yingtian. My father asked me to lead the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so I can manage everything that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can manage. However, the father did not give the fifth brother the power to manage government affairs and military affairs, and only let the fifth brother listen to the government. Therefore, the fifth brother can at most knock on the side to persuade the third division, and let the third division take care of these. For example, if Cai Da is a local military general, and he has not done anything that day, he is in charge of the capital, and you go to the commander or, if he is not a military general, it is the jurisdiction of the political secretary. But then he did it and killed someone, so he could only be dealt with by the judge. ”

Zhu Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "What if the three divisions ignore it." ”

If the magistrate is really so powerful, where will it be his turn to be the master of the people?

Zhu Bai said: "If the third division ignores it, the fifth brother can only report to his father, and must not interfere." ”

The key is that Zhu Hu is not cunning enough for the magistrates, and not enough for Zhu Fan and Zhu Di to be ruthless and decisive.

When the time comes, the magistrate will do whatever he wants, and he will be very uncomfortable.

Lao Zhu also stipulated that they could not run out of the fiefdom.

Zhu Hu thought for a while and replied, "Got it." ”

------

Zhu Bai guessed that Lao Zhu would definitely ask him to interrogate, but he didn't know that the way of questioning was so ingenious and unexpected.

A few days later, Lao Zhu said that he wanted to go to Zhu Bai's field to have a look, and called Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, the left governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and Tang He, the right governor, and said that they wanted to have fun with a few old guys.

He specially instructed several adults to dress modestly, so as not to disturb the people.

Zhu Biao thought that Lao Zhu was just nostalgic for the farming time when he was a teenager, and he didn't go to his heart.

Only Zhu Bai knows that Lao Zhu is "a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink" and wants to do things!

The group rode out of the city on horseback and headed south.

The spring is bright, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the farmers in the farmland on the outskirts of Yingtian are ploughing the fields and planting the seedlings, and they are busy.

The pear blossoms on the side of the road are full of white trees, and bees and butterflies are flying on the branches, a peaceful and lively scenery.

Lao Zhu was already burly, but now he eats well in the palace, and he doesn't need to come out to run around, so he is very white.

Today he wears an ochre-colored robe and a jasper black belt, not as serious as before, but like a kind landlord.

Zhu Bai had already asked someone to go to the farm to prepare a wine banquet and set the table to greet Lao Zhu and the adults.

They first went to visit Zhu Bai's field.

Zhu Bai introduced them to his "three-dimensional planting and breeding system" for mulberry, fish, rice, and bean cultivation, along with duck and bee farming.

Now the seedlings have just been planted, and the water and small fish have been put in. No weeds grew, so the ducks were not released.

However, both the mulberry and the soybean are thriving.

Several generals were amazed: there is really no waste of space.

Lao Zhu is a little bit of a show-off.

Li Wenzhong and the others naturally cooperated with Lao Zhu, just picking up good words.

Li Wenzhong: "Your Highness has never been a farmer but has no teacher, and he is really born smart." When I was as old as Your Highness, I couldn't have grown so well. ”

Feng Sheng sighed: "I only knew that His Highness would do business before, but I didn't expect that he would also farm." ”

Tang He also said: "Your Highness is really a master, which is rare. ”

There is a bit of sincerity in this sentence.

Come to think of it, their own sons and daughters are all useless, and both civil and military are wasted.

Not to mention such a complicated matter as managing the Guanya Bureau and the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it is not even possible to manage a family. In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, it is to eat, drink and be merry.

In contrast, although Zhu Bai was born with a golden soup spoon, he was not squeamish at all.

Whether it is going out for disaster relief or doing things in Yingtian, it is all hands-on and exquisite.

Be ruthless when you should be ruthless, and be good when you should be good.

Lao Zhu was very proud, but he said: "How can this rebel know how to farm, that is, he is playing around and directing blindly." It was all tenant farmers who worked for him. ”

At noon, what was eaten in the farm was what was grown and bred in Zhu Bai's field.

Stir-fried duck with ginger, braised fish, stir-fried yellow eel, perilla snail pork, mulberry leaf soup, tofu and rice, as well as wine and preserves.

The wine was purple-red, but it tasted completely different from the wine they drank from the Western Regions, sweet and sour, and had a unique aroma.

Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai all sat at the same table.

Three adults share a table.

Lao Zhu was already good at taking two sips, so he couldn't help but ask Zhu Bai at this time: "What kind of wine is this?" Why haven't we ever drunk it? It's soft and easy to eat, but it's a rare wine. ”

Zhu Bai pointed to the mulberry tree on the stalk: "The wine made from mulberries that Erchen collected from elsewhere last year. I just got out of the cellar these days. Mulberry wine nourishes blood, strengthens the body, benefits the liver, tonifies the kidneys, and brightens the eyes. Erchen only tried to brew some last year, and it was quite successful. In the future, when our mulberry tree grows up, we can brew more. ”

The main reason is that the koji used here is too unstable, so he can only try.

Lao Zhu nodded: "Your queen mother sleeps at night with cold hands and feet." You can bring some with her. ”

Zhu Bai said: "It's sent, as soon as the wine is out of the cellar, Erchen will ask someone to send it to the palace." ”

Li Wenzhong smiled: "Your Highness is really filial." ”

Zhu Bai said to Zhu Biao: "Big brother, this mulberry wolfberry porridge nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens the spleen and stomach, strengthens the physique, and drinks more." If you like it, I asked someone to pack some dried mulberries and wolfberries and send them to the East Palace. ”

Zhu Biao: "Thank you for thinking about my brother." It tastes good and is very comfortable to drink. ”

After a full meal, Lao Zhu said: "We haven't been farming for a long time, and I miss the feeling of farming in the field, get up when the rooster crows, and sleep as soon as it gets dark." As long as your stomach is full, you don't have to think about things, and it's fine. ”

Then he beckoned to the eunuch who was following him: "Come, take off our boots for us." Let's go to the field and plant seedlings. ”

Zhu Biao was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Father, although it is already spring, the water is cold and muddy. My father had not been a farmer for a long time, and I was afraid that he would catch a cold. ”

Li Wenzhong and they all advised: "The emperor must take care." ”

"Your Majesty can't."

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "We're not so squeamish." It's just a field. When we were young, we didn't even have a pair of shoes in winter, we ran around barefoot, and we never got sick. ”

Zhu Biao: "The child's blood is hot, and now it ......"

Lao Zhu squinted: "Do you want to say that we are old and our body is not good?" ”

Zhu Biao pursed his lips: I was sick for a few days after the cool breeze blew last time. I still need to say that.

The eunuch did not dare to step forward.

Lao Zhu glared at the eunuch and said, "What are you waiting for?" It's not easy for us to talk? ”

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai grinned: "This is fun, I will also go down to play with the mud." ”

Zhu Biao and the three adults gasped: What are you doing?!! asked you to persuade the emperor, not to fan the flames.
