Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 17 Want to Apprentice Teacher, See Sincerity First

"Your Majesty, you want the prince to study with Su Jing?"

Liu Bowen asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was a little surprised when he got the news from Zhu Yuanzhang just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, I've thought about it. Su Jing is talented, but he doesn't have the ambition to be an official. If I directly reveal my identity and force him, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

Although Lao Zhu looked like a rough man, he was definitely not a fool to be able to fight all the way from a beggar to the founding emperor.

Su Jing is young and talented, relying on status to overwhelm others is a bad way.

Liu Bowen cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this method is feasible. If the crown prince can learn from Su Jing for a few years, it will be great!"

At the beginning, Liu Bowen was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would be violent, but now that he heard such a plan, he was relieved.

He also admired Su Jing very much.

"However, regarding the support of this clan, Bowen, do you have a good plan for reform?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen.

Su Jing's question was very sharp and profound, and it also made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that there was something wrong with his thinking as a descendant of Fuze.

But knowing that there is a problem does not mean that there is a solution.

In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang has also been thinking hard about how to solve this problem.

However, after all, there was no solution that could satisfy him.

Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister has indeed thought about this issue in the past few days, and has a set of policies. Please also learn from Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily, "Let's listen."

Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, there are currently eight levels of clan support. Starting from princes, they are county kings, generals of Zhenguo, generals of Fuguo, lieutenants of Zhenguo, lieutenants of Fuguo, and lieutenants of Fengguo."

"No matter how many generations the descendants of the clan pass on, the guarantee is at least Lieutenant Fengguo."

"Since that's the case, it's better to cancel this guarantee, and the descendants of Lieutenant Feng Guo's master will no longer inherit it."

"At the same time, cut two or three levels of the clan hierarchy, so that the pressure on the treasury can be greatly reduced."

"This is the way the old minister thinks."

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he lowered his head silently, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

He is also a little nervous.

As the number one counselor around Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen knew Lao Zhu's personality very well.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very generous to his descendants.

It may be because he was too poor when he was young, so Lao Zhu after he became emperor did not want his descendants to experience the life he had experienced again.

Everything about a prince from birth to old age and death is clearly arranged, all supported by the state.

He even stipulated that the descendants of the royal family should not engage in any occupation.

If you have money and can't do things, then there is only one thing left:

Breed!

In history, the speed of the old Zhu family blossoming and bearing fruit was far faster than that of any previous royal family.

Now Liu Bowen's policy is actually going against Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention.

It's impossible not to be nervous.

But Liu Bowen believes that from Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, he should be able to see the serious relationship.

"Berwin, your method is really good."

Zhu Yuanzhang said after thinking for a moment.

No matter how much he thinks about Fuze's descendants, in the face of the inheritance of the great cause of the dynasty, everything has to stand aside.

Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing serious about it.

"but."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words lifted Liu Bowen's heart again.

"I don't know if Su Jing, this kid, will have any solution?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help thinking of the questioner, Su Jing.

Liu Bowen said: "This matter is simple, just let His Royal Highness make side-talking."

"Oh."

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested, and said to Liu Bowen: "Bowen, what's going on, please explain in detail."

Outside Lishui County.

Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, just arrived a few miles away from the city gate.

Behind him is a large group of guards protecting him.

"Okay, you can send it here, and I can do the next thing by myself."

Zhu Biao said to the leading general.

Although only 15 years old, Zhu Biao is not a flower in a greenhouse.

He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, and was canonized as the prince when Zhu Yuanzhang established himself as the king of Wu.

The teacher is a famous Confucian teacher like Song Lian.

After ascending to the emperor, he was directly canonized as the prince.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded Zhu Biao as his successor early on.

Zhu Biao also lived up to Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations, he had no habit of arrogance, extravagance and licentiousness, he was kind and merciful, and he had a high prestige among many brothers.

At the same time, he has a very close relationship with the major generals, and is skilled in pommel horses, which is well received by everyone.

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

The leading general led the order to withdraw, and only Yin Zi, who was secretly protecting him, followed.

Everything was ready, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards Lishui County.

For this Su Jing who had never met before, Zhu Biao was a little nervous, but he was more looking forward to it.

To be able to make one's father praise him so much is definitely an extraordinary person.

Soon, Zhu Biao came to Lishui County.

He was very surprised by the prosperous scene. When he and Zhu Yuanzhang fought around, he saw how the real people lived.

There was such a scene outside the palace, which was beyond his expectation.

According to his father's instructions, Zhu Biao began to search on the street.

Soon, Zhu Biao found a crowded place.

This is it!

Zhu Biao squeezed into the crowd, silently listening to Su Jing's storytelling of Journey to the West.

At the end of a chapter, Su Jing closed his fan, and the crowd dispersed again.

When Su Jing was about to leave, there was a young man in front of him.

"Master Su, please accept my worship."

Without waiting for Su Jing to ask doubts, Zhu Biao directly knelt down towards Su Jing, which was quite respectful.

This startled Su Jing.

He immediately dodged to the side and said, "Young man, who are you? I don't seem to know you, do you? Don't kowtow indiscriminately, or my life will be shortened!"

Good guy, a half-sized kid suddenly appeared and kowtowed to him to recognize his master, everyone would be shocked.

Zhu Biao got up and introduced himself to Su Jing:
"Master Su, my name is Niu Yi, I am"

After listening to the introduction, Su Jing realized that the boy in front of him was the son of the previous uncle.

The matter of apprenticeship is naturally also the uncle's instruction.

"I see."

Su Jing looked at the teenage Zhu Biao in front of him, and shook his head directly: "Niu Yi, right, go back, I'm not interested in being your teacher, and I don't have time to teach you, by the way, tell your father, don't do this kind of thing in the future." Do it again."

Although Su Jing goes back to the private school to teach every day, it is only a part-time teaching.

Su Jing really couldn't accept the sudden appearance of a teenage boy apprentice to him.

However, Su Jing's refusal did not make Zhu Biao retreat.

Zhu Biao said very seriously: "Master Su, the father's order is not disobeyed by the son. If Niu Yi has done something wrong, please ask Master Su to point it out. Niu Yi will correct it."

"No, don't you understand me?"

Su Jing was a little confused: "I don't accept apprentices! I'm not interested in being a teacher, and it has nothing to do with you! Do you understand?"

"I'm very busy every day! Wherever you like to go, I don't have time to care about you."

After speaking, Su Jing left directly.

However, Zhu Biao followed closely behind him, showing no intention of giving up at all.

It's on the bar, right?
Su Jing glanced back at Zhu Biao, and thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and suddenly became angry.

Then see how long your son can carry it!
Su Jing didn't deliberately throw Zhu Biao away, but just did what he should do.

In the morning, I ran to several places.

Zhu Biao followed all the time, and he didn't cry tired.

In Shaxian snacks, Su Jing ordered a pig's knuckle rice and ate it on his own.

He thought that Zhu Biao would also order one, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao to just stand aside and watch quietly.

"You have no money?"

Su Jing asked in surprise.

Although he didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's real identity, he definitely didn't look like someone short of money.

Zhu Biao replied: "When my father came, he ordered that no money in the family should be used until he succeeded in apprenticeship."

interesting.

"Oh."

Su Jing smiled and said, "I hope you can really do it."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Master Su, don't worry, Niu Yi will definitely do it."

Su Jing nodded slightly, and did not continue to ask, it was time to eat, and did not buy food for Zhu Biao.

If you want to be a teacher, you must first look at your sincerity.
