Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 212 Night Patrol Weaving Bureau
"His Royal Highness, please forgive me for the previous crime of rudeness." Li Shanchang walked up to Zhu Biao, bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Your Majesty, please admit your mistake."

Old Zhu walked down, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "We shouldn't believe that you can make fine white salt."

I am used to eating coarse salt on weekdays, but everyone was surprised to see the snow-white fine salt today.Li Shanchang also changed his view on Zhu Biao.

If they had previously despised him because of Li Bin and Liu Bowen's affairs, and because of the power struggle, they all re-examined the prince at this moment.

Although the former prince was kind, he was too weak in his actions. After the founding of the country, he seemed to be a different person, acting vigorously and resolutely.

Song Lian used to pay food for the gentry, and Zhu Biao was worried about letting him go back to recuperate. Now he dare not say that he is a student taught by himself.

All the things His Royal Highness has done in the past two years have not been taught by his teacher, and he has no face to say that it is all due to himself.

Old Zhu saw all this in his eyes, and said to Yu Yidao who was beside him, "Today, let's invite Li Xiang and the others to dinner, and go and call Xu Da and his generals into the palace."

After a while, he said again: "Let the imperial dining room use this salt for cooking tonight." Lao Zhu pointed to Zhu Biao's bamboo tube and laughed.

Because he wanted to write down the process, Zhu Biao then resigned, taught the method to those scientific and technological officials, and ordered people to build salt-making equipment.

Zhu Biao's process and techniques have not been retained in the past few days, so the science and technology officer only needs to master the subsequent removal of impurities.

Liu Bowen was also called to the banquet by Lao Zhu, and Gao Qi went to Empress Ma.

Sanbao stood beside him and said with a smile: "The prince can sleep well tonight."

"Three treasures, where is Lu Chang?"

"Is there an order from the Lord?"

Zhu Biao nodded, and then asked Sanbao to take Lu Chang to the Weaving Bureau by the Xuanwu Lake.Jin Yiwei's deputy commander, Lu Zhong, brought people to secretly escort him.

He hasn't been to the weaving bureau for a long time.

"Master, tonight on New Year's Eve, many officials have gone home, only Dao Tong is on duty, but this Dao Tong is really reliable in his work."

"Where's Miss Shen?"

Sanbao smiled and said: "It should be there too. Ms. Shen works hard. If I have a brain, I would be confused when looking at the accounts of the Textile Bureau. Ms. Shen is amazing. She also looks at wineries and shops."

"Mother, where did you send the things?"

"Don't worry, I'll send it off." Sanbao followed behind and said, "The Empress and the wives of the generals talked about themselves, and the slaves put down their things and left."

On New Year's Eve tonight, the streets of Nanjing City are filled with lanterns, and you can't see the end.There are big families in the city setting off firecrackers.A few children picked up a lot of firecrackers and put them in their arms.

Someone put lanterns on Xuanwu Lake, Zhu Biao entered the Weaving Bureau Yamen, and saw Dao Tong still sitting there checking accounts.

Zhu Biao stepped in: "Dao Tong."

Dao Tong raised his head and saw that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Three Treasures of the Inner Court eunuchs were coming, so he immediately got up and walked forward and said, "There are still a lot of accounts that need to be checked again."

"Tomorrow is fine too." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Hey, no." Dao Tong waved his hand and said, "Today's work is over today, after tonight it will be Hongwu three years, how can this year's account be accumulated until next year. Besides, Miss Shen is also checking the issue of raw silk and dyes. "

Dao Tong respectfully brought hot tea, and continued to sit there and work.

Zhu Biao glanced at the opposite window, then walked over, and Sanbao followed quietly, guarding outside the house.

The room was lit with red candles, and she was wearing the headdress that Zhu Biao had given her before, and there were three stacks of account books beside her.

Zhu Biao walked in lightly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shen knew whether he thought it was Dao Tong delivering the account books, without raising his head, he said, "I'll take care of the rest of the accounts, you put them down, and go back quickly."

Did not hear a response, she raised her head, happened to see Zhu Biao, said in surprise: "His Royal Highness."

"Let Daotong go back, can you finish it?" Zhu Biao flipped through the account books, and found that one pile belonged to Shen's shop, another pile belonged to the Weaving Bureau, and one pile belonged to Daming Winery.

"OK."

"On New Year's Eve, it's inappropriate for His Highness not to accompany His Majesty, Empress, to come here." Shen Zhizhi stood up and poured tea: "The account for raw silk is not clearly recorded, so we have to check it out, so that the people below don't get kickbacks."

"Not going back to Shen's residence." Zhu Biao asked casually after putting the checked account books in order.

"There is no one at home. My father and sister are in Shandong, and it's just me, Xiaobai, Xiaolian, and Manager Shen at home."

Part of the reason why Shen Qiancheng left Jiangnan was because of the court, Zhu Biao looked around and walked out.

"Your Highness?" Shen Zhi was a little curious.

Ask Sanbao to take him to the kitchen of the Weaving Yamen.

All the chores went back to celebrate the New Year, Zhu Biao said to Sanbao, "Can you cook?"

"No, but slaves can cook porridge." Sanbao laughed.

Zhu Biao glanced at him, and originally wanted to rely on this guy, but it seemed that he would not be able to eat, if only Yu'er and the others were here.

Looking at the kitchen, there was almost nothing to eat except raw meat, some vegetables, and eggs.

Zhu Biao stirred the egg liquid, poured it evenly into four bowls, and let the three treasures sit there to cook.

Then I found a small pot and a clay stove, and said to Sanbao, "Go and slice this meat, wash some cabbage, and soak these dried mushrooms."

After a stick of incense, the master and servant left the kitchen. Sanbao brought the pot and stove, and then brought dishes and sliced ​​meat.

In the house, Sanbao quickly put the charcoal fire into the stove, set up a small pot, Zhu Biao put in the seasoning and said: "You are lonely, come and eat shabu-shabu."

Shen knew whether to close the account book, and then Daotong also came over, and the three of them sat together, with four bowls of egg custard placed around them.

"Sambo, sit down too." Zhu Biao motioned him to sit down.

Dao Tong poured wine for Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, please."

"Please." Zhu Biao replaced Shen Zhifu's wine glass with tea: "Drink tea, not alcohol."

Daotong and Sanbao looked at each other and immediately understood that they were eating their own food.

"How have these two months been?" Zhu Biao looked at Daotong and Shen Zhiwu.

"Dongyue has a total of 12 horses, many of which are waste." Dao Tong then said: "The female workers are also making progress at the beginning of this year."

"Thank you." Zhu Biao nodded.

"His Royal Highness, in terms of hard work, I am not as hardworking as Miss Shen. She is the backbone of the entire weaving bureau. Last month, the wind and cold were still checking the raw silk. Daotong is ashamed."

"You all have worked hard, try this egg custard again, I made it alone." Zhu Biao glanced at Shen next to him and said, "Eat something."

After dinner, Zhu Biao had a clear understanding of the revenue and cost of the Weaving Bureau. Overall, the benefits and efficiency were very good.

Now all that remains is the Salt Bureau and the mine, hurry up and build.

Sanbao and Daotong retreated without knowing when, leaving only Zhu Biao and her.

Zhu Biao is getting closer and closer to her.

"Uh...not prepared to avoid...Zi Tang." Shen Zhi then lowered his head.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao rubbed her hair: "Check the account books for you, and teach Gu how to check."

"But... Will His Highness be wronged?"

"No, come and check." Zhu Biao naturally led her and said, "Take the jade pendant for you with you. If you need something, bring it to me. Bring the firecrackers too. Are there enough Shen family nursing homes?"

"That's enough. By the way, Your Highness, the wine shop's fruit wine is selling well. This month, Daming Wuliang Snow Qu has sold a lot of pots. Guess what."

"I can't guess."

"Fifty thousand altars."

Late at night in the imperial city, Lao Zhu and Xu Da were still drinking and chatting about the past.Empress Ma and the women in the harem also chatted happily.

　Ask for subscription, ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
