Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 333 The king has a crush on businessmen!
If all the great lakes here are filled up, will Jiangnan be flooded once the flood season arrives?

"King Su's idea, um, um, quite interesting." A minister said.

"Yes, that's a good idea."

Tao Lezhi gritted his teeth and looked at the superiors with a proud look on his face. This Prince Su has no ability and only knows nonsense. Are all those Mongolians outside pigs?

How could he be defeated by King Su!
Fortunately, there was an honest man who couldn't bear it anymore and gave some advice: "Your Majesty, if this lake is filled up and floods come, what will we do?"

"Of course, of course, we work together to change the flow of the Yangtze River."

Everyone was even more puzzled. Prince Su was so good at dreaming. Why couldn't he think of laying a tile on the Great Wall?
Fortunately, Zhu Tuo quickly forgot about this matter. He once again proposed to encourage merchants to do business, which surprised everyone. After all, focusing on agriculture and suppressing merchants are both national policies. This was the policy of Emperor Hongwu. Personally formulated.

How much brains can they have to resist Emperor Hongwu?
Later, Zhu Tuo stopped walking around and spent every day here admiring flowers, willows, flowers and the moon. Occasionally, ministers came to offer gifts, which Zhu Tuo always accepted with a smile.

This approach made Tao Lezhi very depressed. He originally thought Zhu Tuo was a fool, but now it seems that Zhu Tuo's reputation as a fool far exceeded his expectations.

He looked at Zhu Tuo who was drinking and eating in the hall, sighed, and ordered: "Serve Prince Su well and get whatever you want. If Prince Su is unhappy, we will all be dead."

A young man with a stern face next to him said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tao, this is impossible. The rumored King Su is not so stupid."

"God knows. Maybe it was for the emperor's sake that I gave him a nickname."

"Every time King Su goes, he will stay there for four or five days.

Oh my god, why have you stayed in Suzhou City for so long and you haven’t left yet? "

Tao Lezhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You ask me, who am I going to ask? King Su's tour this time will be hard on us ministers, hey."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Su has just arrived in Suzhou, and we officials can't relax. We hang around him all day just to prevent him from being unhappy. His Highness Li's legs were also damaged a few days ago. Broken."

"Forget it, it's all nonsense, but who would have thought that he would have so many whims. As soon as King Su spoke, my heart beat faster and I was worried about what he would do."

Seeing that Zhu Tuo had almost eaten the barbecue, Tao Lezhi approached with a smile and asked, "My lord, how is your patrol going?"

"alright, alright!"

Tao Lezhi immediately became happy after hearing this: "Okay, Your Majesty, let's take a look. When do you plan to visit other areas? We have prepared a carriage and money for you."

"OK, thanks!"

"It's easy to do, easy to do!" Tao Lezhi looked at Zhu Tuo with anticipation.

Zhu Tuo shook his head, "I saw that the city of Suzhou was beautiful and sunny, and it was very suitable for life. I had nothing to do when I returned to Beijing, so I made up my mind and I will not leave again."

Tao Lezhi's originally smiling face suddenly stiffened and he stared at Zhu Tuo in disbelief.

"In fact, our city of Suzhou is not a very good place."

"No, it looks good to me. Tomorrow, you will build a mansion in my palace, and I will live there. Well, Suzhou City is full of literati and has many places of interest. I want to take a good look at it. Also, if you have nothing to do, don’t bother me.”

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and turned a blind eye to Tao Lezhi's pitiful expression.

Tao Lezhi sighed softly, his lips moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, our Suzhou is very poor, there are few scholars, and there are no scenic spots..."

"Oh, Suzhou is so poor, I might as well stay here and help you conquer the world together!" "Well, why did you do this? The emperor asked you to inspect various places, so you can't stay in Suzhou city all the time, right? It's a bit unreasonable, I have a carriage here, you go first."

"It doesn't matter. I will make a mistake and tell my father about this. Since there is no need for me in the court, I will stay here."

"My lord!" Tao Lezhi bowed and said, "My lord is in Suzhou, and all the ministers are in a state of panic all day long. I'm afraid I might offend my lord, why don't you go back to Beijing first!"

Zhu Tuo said seriously: "As long as you have not committed a heinous crime, don't be afraid of being discovered. As a prince, I have the responsibility to supervise all officials in the world. Now that I live in Suzhou, it is time to supervise all your subjects!"

"This matter concerns the country and the people, so don't say anything!"

Tao Lezhi stared at Su Wang Zhu Tuo dumbfounded, his eyes were full of disbelief, he murmured in his heart, how shameless this guy is!Eating, drinking and having fun in Suzhou City every day, showing off his might, and talking so confidently, so confidently!

Tao Lezhi nodded helplessly and said, "Okay!"

In the days that followed, Zhu Tuo indulged himself more and more, either drinking or visiting brothels every day, living a carefree life.

From time to time, Zhu Tuo would also say some irrelevant words, such as encouraging merchants to do business, banning luxury houses being built, encouraging wealthy households to donate, etc.

This is simply wishful thinking.

His actions naturally fell into the eyes of the ministers in Suzhou City.The righteous men were very distressed. They did not expect that the future king would be such a person.

But the ministers who were originally flattering, fearing that the world would be in chaos, now seemed to have found a way out, and lined up to visit King Su with generous gifts, hoping to get some benefits from him.

Every time he came, King Su always talked with them with a smile on his face, and his words were as friendly as brothers, and occasionally he would set up a banquet to entertain them.

This made them very excited. It seemed that His Highness King Su was also a person who loved to enjoy himself, just like them.

"See King Su!" At this moment, a burly, dark-skinned man came over.

The middle-aged man looked at Zhu Tuo with a somewhat sincere look on his face.

He is a businessman named Zhao and Pengxing. He opened a regular tea shop in Suzhou. Because the shop is too small, he often has to run around and looks a bit old.

He opened a way to King Su.

"Oh, why are you here?"

"I have always admired the prince very much. I heard that the prince is amiable, diligent and caring for the people, so I came here to visit you!" Zhao Pengxing bowed respectfully, with a sincere look on his face.

As soon as he said this, Zhu Tuo had a smile on his face.

"Haha, don't even think about flattering me. I have always admired loyal people like Wei Zheng. I hate flattery the most. Anyone who dares to lie to me will have his mouth ripped open!"

Zhao Pengxing curled his lips and said, "I just told the truth and I didn't lie to His Majesty."

"Well, I think you're very honest, very good, very good!" Zhu Tuo asked with a smile. Zhao Pengxing said a few words casually, and blew hard, making Zhu Tuo laugh non-stop.

Zhu Tuo was so happy that he had someone cook a sumptuous meal for Zhao Pengxing.

Zhao Pengxing breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Fan: "Your Majesty, I am here this time because there is something that I need Your Majesty to make the decision for me.
