Prince of Chaos

Chapter 58 Undercurrent
Zhang Cheng acted boldly, but Zhu Changluo instructed Wang An to follow Zhang Cheng's will.

Now Zhang Cheng has already developed a mine tax ratio of ten to five at the coal mine in Huangzhuang, Xishan.A large amount of wealth was taken by Zhang Cheng so blatantly.Zhu Changluo didn't care, as if nothing happened.

Now he, Wang An, Wei Zhongxian and others are watching the growth of melons, fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse built in Huangzhuang, looking at these tender green sprouts and branches and leaves, Wang An and Wei Zhongxian are carefully serving behind them, and He praised Zhu Changluo's talent and intelligence endlessly.

Zhu Changluo ignored them, Zhu Changluo was chatting with an old farmer.

Zhu Changluo asked: "Master, how are these vegetables growing?"

The old farmer said: "Your Highness, this is the first time I have seen such a small matter of planting vegetables in winter, so I dare not make rash comments."

Zhu Changluo said: "Although the master said, I don't know how to grow vegetables. Everything here is taken care of by the master. I think the master also has his own experience."

The old farmer said: "I have a little experience. Because these vegetables are planted out of season, although the greenhouse made by His Highness immediately grows, but according to Xiao's previous experience in farming, the growth rate of vegetables here seems to be a bit slower."

Zhu Changluo looked at these vegetables. He really didn't know how to grow vegetables, so when the old farmer said that the growth was slow, Zhu Changluo began to think hard, "Why is it slow?"

The old farmer said, "Maybe the weather is not right."

Zhu Changluo nodded secretly. He didn't agree with any old farmer's opinion, but as far as Zhu Changluo knew, the growth rate of vegetables in the greenhouse was actually not slower than that in season.So, there must be some unresolved issues here.

So Zhu Changluo tentatively asked: "Could it be because the temperature is not enough?"

The old farmer also thought about it, and then said: "Maybe it's just that the temperature is not enough."

Zhu Changluo said: "Since the temperature is not enough, let's try to put a few coal stoves here to raise the temperature in the greenhouse?"

The old farmer thought: "The young ones can try."

Then Zhu Changluo said to the old farmer: "Then please take care of the master."

After leaving the greenhouse, Wang An immediately went back to work. Now there is a lot of business in Xishan Huangzhuang. As the owner of the villa, he naturally has great responsibilities, and some things cannot be separated from him for a while.

Zhu Changluo and Wei Zhongxian continued to walk in Xishan Huangzhuang, Zhu Changluo asked, "How is the situation now?"

Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice: "Now Zhang Cheng has collected nearly 20 taels of silver from us. According to the investigation by the slaves, half of the silver has not entered the emperor's internal funds."

Zhu Changluo nodded and praised: "Good job."

Then Zhu Changluo asked again: "Where is Sun Xian? What is he doing?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Eunuch Sun has been playing mahjong with a few Dangtou in Dongchang recently, but he hasn't made any moves."

Zhu Changluo said: "Keep an eye on him. The more he does this, the more he can't relax. He has collected a lot of money from us. Although he is very obedient, this relationship is still not strong. Compared with Zhang Cheng, his greed is not much better. Yes. Our Xishan Huangzhuang is now in such a big flow, I don’t believe that he has no news as the admiral of the East Factory.”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely keep an eye on him. But if he has any actions that are not good for the master, as long as the master gives an order, the slave will take his dog's life."

Zhu Changluo said: "Don't touch him unless it is absolutely necessary. He has Dongchang in his hand now, and this card should not be underestimated. If stealing chickens doesn't cost you money, and exposing Qianlong Yingwei will not be worth the loss."

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave will remember."

Finally, Zhu Changluo asked again: "How is the situation in the cabinet?"

When Wei Zhongxian heard that Zhu Changluo asked this question, Wei Zhongxian felt secretly proud. During this period of time, his greatest achievement was to develop several hidden lines in the old mansion of the cabinet. Wei Zhongxian still knew who they were and what they were talking about.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Mr. Xu Ge and Wang Ge seem to have deliberately neglected each other."

Zhu Changluo said: "Where is Yuanfu Shen Ge?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "I don't know about this, but I know that Mr. Shen Ge is staring at the word 'cautious' in his study all day long."

Zhu Changluo asked: "Are you in a daze about the word 'cautious'?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes."

Zhu Changluo said: "I see." Then Zhu Changluo changed the subject, "Where is Concubine Zheng?"

Wei Zhongxian did not expect that Zhu Changluo would suddenly ask Concubine Zheng, which made Wei Zhongxian stunned.

Zhu Changluo said: "Concubine Zheng can't relax either, she is the most dangerous person. The emperor has always felt guilty towards her, and her words and deeds may affect the emperor's mind at any time, so he can't relax for a moment. "

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave will remember."

After chatting with Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Changluo really felt that this period of time was too tiring and too cautious.

Mining taxes are interfering with national disputes, and Emperor Wanli is a soft-tempered person who can't make up his mind. Once he is embarrassed, he will pick the softest persimmon.

And this is between Zheng Guifei, Baiguan and Zhu Changluo.Zhu Changluo is undoubtedly the softest persimmon.

Civil officials use Zhu Changluo to attack the authority of Emperor Wanli, and Concubine Zheng is the favorite of Emperor Wanli.Now although Zhu Changluo has also received some favors from Emperor Wanli, these favors, his authority, and his beloved Concubine Zheng are too insignificant.

Therefore, in this dangerous national struggle, he, the poor unlucky boy, is the one who is most likely to be injured.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to prepare for the worst.This is also a helpless move.Who made him the weakest now?
After more than a month, Emperor Wanli has now restored the intimacy with Concubine Zheng. Although it will no longer be the same as before, Emperor Wanli still has no change in his mind to obey Concubine Zheng.

Concubine Zheng now smiles much less than before. It turned out that she was so innocent and unrestrained when she was with Emperor Wanli.But ever since she gave birth to a stillborn baby, she had a hatred for Emperor Wanli in her heart.

Although Emperor Wanli still dotes on her as before, let her go.But Concubine Zheng felt that this was a sign of Emperor Wanli's guilty conscience.

"What's wrong, concubine?"

Emperor Wanli accompanied Concubine Zheng to enjoy the snow in the Yujing Pavilion in the back garden of the palace, but Concubine Zheng was always looking at a budding plum blossom, and never looked away.Emperor Wanli also noticed this situation, so he hugged Zhu Changxun and turned to Concubine Zheng and asked.

When Concubine Zheng heard Emperor Wanli's question, Concubine Zheng pulled the brocade robe covering her body, held a beast heater in her hand and said, "My concubine is wondering why the plum blossoms bloom only in winter?"

Emperor Wanli coaxed Zhu Changxun and said, "I don't know about this either."

Concubine Zheng said: "The concubine thinks that plum blossoms should be arrogant. She doesn't want to share a season with other sluts, so it blooms in winter."

When Emperor Wanli heard what Concubine Zheng said, he felt dizzy. He knew that Concubine Zheng was alluding to Concubine Gong.

Emperor Wanli said with a dry smile: "The metaphor of loving a concubine is true." Emperor Wanli couldn't think of words to add.

Concubine Zheng asked, "What really happened?"

Emperor Wanli bit the bullet and said, "It's really unique."
