Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 425 Positive Zhu Yan

"Do you think Gu can still fall asleep?" Zhu Biao glanced at Xiao Huangmen: "Go and see the princess first, and talk to her."

Zhu Biao looked calm, turned and left.The two small yellow doors behind him immediately followed.

Not far from the East Palace, Yu'er and Chang's are here temporarily, and all the things are newly bought.

Carrying the palace lantern, Xiao Huangmen and Zhu Biao entered the yard, the guards at the door stopped them, Zhu Biao stood outside the door and asked a few simple words.

A few guards stood behind Zhu Biao, as if they might take him away at any time. These were all in front of Lao Zhu, and they didn't look at people when they carried out orders.

Zhu Biao stood at the door, and Chang Shi and Yu'er inside hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, paused for a long time, and then asked, "Crown Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Chang's mouth moved, and finally felt the figure outside the door, and said, "The concubine is fine, but I'm just worried about Chi'er, Your Highness hasn't rested yet?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while, and said, "Fang Youzhi and Dai Sizong have excellent medical skills, so nothing will happen. The Dianshan Bureau will send you medicine and meals, and the princess will insist on it for a few days."

"The concubine made a note."

Zhu Biao nodded, thinking that she couldn't be seen through the door inside, so he said a few words of comfort before heading to Wenhua Hall.

A hundred cavalry were galloping on the avenue of the capital, and the people who had been lying down for a long time secretly watched from the windows, guessing that something had happened.

Seeing that it was King Jin, the guards immediately let them out of the city.

At noon on the second day, Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji gathered in the Wenhua Hall, and the two of them ate ice porridge and soup sent by the Dianshan Bureau to Zhu Biao, chatting.

Although Xia Yuanji is not very old, he always follows the prince to teach in the academy, and he speaks clearly and logically.

The palace wall outside the hall was scorched by the sun, and on the table were letters from the Secretary of General Administration, and classics, and memorials.

"Brother, Tao Chengdao said that he needs to learn from the previous firearms, and he will have to wait a few days before starting." Zhu Di put down the soup bowl and looked at the fierce sun outside: "Aren't you in a hurry? Go see Chier."

Zhu Biao didn't speak, and continued to look at the memorial sent by the Yangzhou government.

Born in a common people's family, if the son gets sick, he will definitely be anxious.

But Zhu Biao can't, he can't ignore political affairs because of these things.

Daming is still too young, its foundation is not stable, and the affairs of the common people need to be worried about.Even if you are burning with anxiety, you have to suppress it and deal with the urgent report that comes up first.

A fleet of tens of thousands of people is still exploring the new world on the ocean.Merchants in the north are making money again, and several soldiers and horses are still training.

It was impossible for him to sit there and wait for the imperial doctor to give him some words of comfort.

"I haven't been to the Salt Bureau for a long time. The salt merchants are opportunistic and hide evil, but it's getting worse..."

Amid these words, Zhu Di waved his hand: "If you want me to tell you, whoever hides filth is directly arrested and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The third brother is going to investigate the matter of the Yangzhou salt merchant this time, and there will be results."

Speaking of Zhu Yan, what he did this time really surprised me a bit.

"I was sent to inspect the Yangzhou Salt Bureau. They were honest and honest in their work, but the civil servants knew nothing about the operation and income. Over time, the salt merchants took advantage of the opportunity to work for the court and started messing around and cheating."

"Fourth, I thought about it for a while. The Bureau of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty should train a group of clean and honest officials to manage silk tea, salt mines and iron horses from all over the country. Pick clean ones from the court, and the annual business tax can be several times higher than other taxes. .”

"Brother, this is feasible."

"This matter has to be discussed with Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong. If I transfer officials from the court, I will be nagged by them again."

"Ask them why? Who dares to refuse to accept and beat him until he is convinced. I think they are stubborn and cheap." Zhu Di said, pouring a bowl of soup and bringing it to Zhu Biao: "Brother, rest first."

……

Yangzhou Mansion, a restaurant by the canal.

The red sun was scorching like fire, and Zhu Yan's heart was fluttering watching the boats coming and going on the canal. It's better to go out of the palace. It's a pleasure to be out of the palace and stay away from their sight.

The man standing at the window said: "It's just that the lord has to treat me badly for a few days." The man who spoke had a beard, and he was Zhu Yan's loyal follower.

Several pots of charcoal fire were grilling the meat, and the man standing behind the charcoal fire was tall, with bare arms and glistening sweat.

This shop is one of the best shops by the canal. Not only is it expensive, but the people who come here are either rich or expensive.

"Bah, this meat is too bad." Zhu Yan smashed the meat skewer on the waiter's face: "It's not as delicious as Xu Xingzu's cooking, pull it down and beat it."

"Yes, my lord."

Before the BBQ man could beg for mercy, he was dragged down and slapped twice.

Xu Xingzu is Lao Zhu's personal chef.

On weekdays, Lao Zhu's cook not only prepares meals for Lao Zhu, but also prepares meals for King Jin Zhu.

Emperor Zhu thought about Zhu Yan's picky eaters, so he also specially arranged for it.

Because of this, Zhu Yan was very proud.Apart from his eldest brother, the emperor likes him the most.

"Daming Museum and Drama Club, the eldest brother just ordered people to prepare the script, the coolies and treasures are not what I am looking for." Zhu Wei looked at the canal and thought.

A person came up the stairs, came over and said to Zhu Yan, the magistrate of Yangzhou is here.

Zhu Bian turned his head away, and muttered strangely in his heart: "Yang Shen! Who told him to come, this king has not had time to enjoy it, this ghost has come."

The magistrate of Yangzhou was deeply loved by his father.

Order people to remove the food immediately.

After he sat down, Yang Shen came up from the stairs, stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yan and said, "My minister Yang Shen, I have met King Jin."

"Prefect Yang, it's so hot, I'm sorry for your trouble." Zhu Yan put down the book in his hand and said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I rushed over immediately after receiving the news from the post house. It is my dereliction of duty to allow you to live in this restaurant. The Yangzhou government office and the post house are all ready, please move."

What's so interesting about government offices and post houses, where is it convenient to live outside.Zhu Yan complained in his heart, and said politely: "Yang Zhifu, this king came here on behalf of the eldest brother, and brought a lot of people, you arrange them."

Yang Shen received news from the capital and asked him to cooperate with King Jin to investigate the matter of Yangzhou salt merchants. How could this allow King Jin to live outside.

"My lord, you have an honorable status, and there are many people out here with mixed eyes..." Yang Shen looked humble.

"Yang Shen, this king also followed his father from the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​swords. Ordinary people can't get close to this king."

Zhu Yan's words are not boasting, they have the ability to fight on horseback.

Yang Shen smiled when he heard the words: "My minister heard that you are brave and good at fighting, King Jin, but this human heart is always more dangerous than swords. In the past two years in Yangzhou, although the people have more than enough to live, there have been mixed fish and dragons. I also invite the prince to accompany the ministers to live in the government office for a while. .”

"Why, Yang Zhifu thinks that this king is easy to talk, so he is so disobedient. Although I am a prince, I am also His Majesty's son, and I still have the right to make you obey me." After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he signaled Yang Shen to go back by himself.

"My lord is heavenly and noble, how dare Yang Shen offend the lord, never dare to disobey the lord."

Yang Shen saw that Zhu Yan insisted, so he had no choice but to leave the people from the government office to wait here, and went downstairs to go back with the master.

On the way, the master asked the reason, Yang Shen shook his head, he heard His Highness the Crown Prince said that the King of Jin had no heart, he did things as he wanted, and he was afraid that it would be dangerous for him to come to Yangzhou.

But when we met today, I felt that King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were talking about two people.

But one thing is true, that is, King Jin has very high requirements for food.

Yang Shen ordered the master to find the best cook in Yangzhou City and go to a restaurant to cook for King Jin.By the way, let people strictly check those who enter and leave the restaurant to ensure the safety of King Jin.

　Ask for a ticket.
