Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 220 Zhu Wei's Alternative Life

Zhu Biao handed it over to Mao Xiang and the others about the raw silk hidden by Beiyuan weavers in the Weaving Bureau, and asked them to investigate. Anyone who dared to buy raw silk from the Daming Weaving Bureau should be arrested immediately.

Sanbao said: "Your Highness, that Minmin Timur wants to see you."

"Her? At the beginning, she wanted to kill Gu, so let her hang out for a few days, and wait for Gu to feel better. I'm not in a good mood, see you."

Hearing that Li Wenzhong was reporting to Lao Zhu about the establishment of the Salt Bureau in Yangzhou at the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Biao rushed over immediately.

Salt, once in charge, will be a considerable fortune to the imperial court.At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were children waiting to be fed everywhere, and everyone wanted the court to allocate money to help them. Zhu Biao naturally would not let go of salt and tea.

"Does the prince know that you are back?" Old Zhu thought that Biao'er had handled this matter alone, and Li Wenzhong could bypass him and tell the prince.

"I haven't told His Highness the Crown Prince yet." Li Wenzhong stood beside him: "Thinking about telling His Highness the Crown Prince later."

"Go now, tell him these things directly, you don't need to tell us." Lao Zhu reviewed another memorial, and let out a long breath: "Say hello to your father for us, and ask him to come over and say it some other day Let's talk about Biao'er's marriage, so we can tell your father what's on our minds."

"His Royal Highness is here." Yu Yi asked Lao Zhu for instructions with a smile.

Old Zhu got up, looked at Zhu Biao who came in and said with a smile: "Here, the list of the Salt Bureau, please take a good look."

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Wenzhong saluted Zhu Biao with a smile, walked aside and sent the floor plan of the Salt Bureau and the account books that Zhu Biao told him to draw at that time to Zhu Biao.

Sanbao took it with both hands, stood behind Zhu Biao, and put away these things.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Biao, spoiled and said: "Go to eat at your mother's queen's place another day. Zhu Di is a boy who walks in the harem every day. Let's see that he is getting fat. You can try it too."

Zhu Di is a guy who is in good spirits and has a good appetite on happy occasions.

"Hey." Zhu Biao felt happy when he heard that Lao Zhu was concerned about him, and said, "After finishing the affairs of the National Academy of Scholars, I will go over."

He sat next to Lao Zhu and began to look through the lists. Among the salt merchants in Yangzhou, a large part came from Huizhou Prefecture in Anhui.There are also a few from Nanjing.

Next is the salt fields in various places, which will also be started one after another. It is said that the mines in Shanxi have just started construction, and nothing can be seen for a while.

Seeing that the teacup was empty, Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to pour a warm cup and handed it to Old Zhu.

Lao Zhu took it and drank it up in one gulp, and San Bao poured another glass for him when he saw it.

"Don't bother." Old Zhu picked up Zhu Biao's tea and said, "Let's just drink yours."

After drinking water, perhaps because he was too tired from reading the memorials, Lao Zhu turned around and looked at Zhu Biao: "Going out today?"

Zhu Biao nodded, helped Lao Zhu beat his shoulders and said, "Go out."

"When we were with your mother, your mother often gave us pancakes. Why did you come to your place and take ginseng from Shen's house all day long, but you didn't see anything for the girl."

"This..." Zhu Biao looked at Lao Zhu, didn't he always dislike businessmen, why did he suddenly say that now.

"What are you looking at? Did we make a mistake? Shen Qiancheng is Shen Qiancheng, and his daughter is his daughter. You have to remember what you should remember. Why don't we make an order?"

Zhu Biao knew what Lao Zhu meant, so that he could marry Shen Zhiwu.He was grateful for Lao Zhu's words in his heart, but she was unwilling to enter the palace.

"She has no intention of entering the palace." Zhu Biao replied.

"You boy, why are we so cruel to those ministers? We rarely scold you, and you don't remember your father's kindness, and lie to us.

In a few years, if the girl is going to be gossiped about, you don't want to.You are the prince, so you can't influence her thoughts?

But let's just tell you, this is our old Zhu's family matter, if she enters the palace unintentionally like what she told you, that's fine, but don't treat her badly. "

The father and son sat in the Qianqing Palace and chatted about the daily life.

"Your mother has been angry these past few days, blaming us for talking about Song Lian and Li Shanchang in Fengtian Palace. Later, you will ask the Imperial Dining Room to bring us some porridge and side dishes. Tonight we will continue to change the play."

Li Wenzhong and Sanbao were preparing things for the Salt Bureau. After hearing what the father and son said, they pretended not to hear anything, and lowered their heads to do their own business.

……

……

The next morning, Zhu Biao took Sanbao to the National Scholars Academy.

Because it will soon be the spring plowing season, many grains still need to be prepared.

There are many imitation greenhouses built around the National Academy of Scholars, covered with thick straw.The seedlings inside are one or two taller than the grass outside.

When Zhu Biao took Sanbao in, he happened to see Zhu Wei outside the shed, with his head buried in the root of the shed, not knowing what he was doing.

"Fifth, what are you doing?"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Xi removed the herbs in his mouth and said, "Brother, I'm tasting these wild vegetables."

When it comes to wild vegetables, Zhu Biao knows it.

This wild vegetable was brought back by He Qing from the south of the Yangtze River with the agricultural officials, and he planted it here, intending to cultivate it as a family vegetable.

Standing with Xia Yuanji, with a few green trees on Zhu's head, he looked helplessly at Zhu Biao who was taller than them.

He is nine years old this year, and he is still a boy, and he will compile the book "Pocket Prescriptions" in the future.

It is divided into eight volumes, 81 categories, and contains more than [-] kinds of folk prescriptions, which are published in the world to save people's lives.

As a prince, Zhu Xi was not moved by the rich clothes and fine food, and he didn't like to travel around the mountains and rivers. He went to the National Scholars Academy to chew wild vegetables all day long.

"Is the wild vegetable delicious?" Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lu and teased him: "Today, elder brother asked the imperial dining room to make you a table of wild vegetables."

"Ah? Brother, I won't eat it." Zhu Wei thought that Zhu Biao really wanted to do that, and his face turned green with fright.

"Brother, look, I drew this based on wild vegetables." Zhu Wei took out the paper in his hand and showed it to Zhu Biao.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao fell into deep thought.

Back then when Zhu Huan arrived in Kaifeng, he traveled over mountains and ridges like a farmer, looking for all kinds of wild vegetables for the people.

He tasted what he knew and what he didn't know, and identified wild vegetables just like Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs.

Draw wild vegetables and learn about the properties of wild vegetables with local old farmers.Zhu Wei is to study whether wild vegetables can be eaten, and he has a good understanding of the nature, taste, taste and processing methods of wild vegetables.Poisonous wild vegetables are detoxified and eaten.

He even mobilized the people in the Kaifeng mansion to open a field in the palace and transplant all kinds of wild vegetables into the mansion for observation at any time.

If he hadn't been born in Lao Zhu's family, he might be able to live his life in peace and benefit the common people.

It's a pity that he was the prince at that time, and Zhu Yunwen let Jin Yiwei sneak into Kaifeng Mansion on the night Zhu Xi came back from digging wild vegetables.

The scene of Zhu Yu's meal, even including the dishes and chopsticks, is carefully drawn.

Jin Yiwei is not only skilled, but also good at painting. Hidden on the beam of the house, he painted all the patterns of the bowl that Zhu Su used to eat.

Not long after, before Zhu Sui waited for the wild vegetables in the palace to mature, he was said to have used bowls and chopsticks painted with dragon patterns, which became a conspiracy.

Later, Zhu Yunqi sent people to escort him to the capital and convicted him of treason.

Thinking that this child was born by himself, Zhu Biao felt angry.

It's just that if I don't marry the Lu family, how can there be Zhu Yunqi?
"Brother?" Zhu Wei shook his hand and said, "If it's okay, I'll go first."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Go, go to He Qing if you want to come."

Zhu Wei nodded and left.
