Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 443 Because of being ugly

Emperor Zhu was drinking wine alone, making arrangements for his son.On the side of Beiping Mansion, Li Xiong brought wine and meat over late at night, and pleaded guilty with a bundle of thorns on his back.

Zhu Biao wasn't surprised by this, Li Xiong didn't have a heart, and when he and Li Wenzhong reprimanded him that night, Li Xiong took it as something wrong with him.

Standing there, Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to talk to him, seeing that he was carrying thorns on his back, he just remembered some of his words when we first met during the Northern Expedition.

"No need to kneel."

"Hey." Li Xiong was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He kowtowed twice, turned over the thorn, and walked over.

"It's not easy to manage the military academy. You have to supervise some things more. If there is something wrong, you have to report it to the orphan immediately."

"Yes."

"Your Highness, do you want to drink?" Li Xiong raised the pot in his hand and smiled.

"Don't drink alone, let's practice sword tomorrow."

"Listen to you." Li Xiong picked out two good swords and brought them over.

The next day, it was spring time, and Zhu Biao was practicing swords there with his shirt off his arms. His body, which had been well-clothed and well-fed, was illuminated by the sun and turned the color of wheat.

They practiced all morning, before Zhu Biao put on his clothes and took Li Xiong to go out. He was going to take a good look at Beiping Mansion.

There are several houses in front of the military academy, which are full of armor worn by soldiers during drills, Zhu Biao is very pleased with this.

The Weaving Bureau is located in the south of Beiping Mansion. Although it is not as large as the Weaving Bureau in the south of the Yangtze River, it can still bring income to the people of Beiping Mansion.

Now that a military academy has been built, most of the city is filled with soldiers, and the common people are not afraid. The soldiers and civilians will come and go all day long, and they regard the soldiers of the military academy as a sacred army.

Of course, this is all credit to Xu Da, who made the school rules for the people and for the people.

People in prefectures and counties bid to send some seasonal vegetables and fruits to the military academy.

One of the sub-district divisions, Zhayang, was patrolling the street, signaling to the vendors to arrange the fruit and vegetable stalls neatly, and was led by a short man with a bit of a mischievous eye.

"Meat sellers, you have to go to the vegetable market over there to place them, and here you sell some live chickens and ducks. They are jumping around, so dusty." The man pointed at the stall and said carefully.

He said something, then turned to look at the egg seller next to him, and said, "Eggs are fresh, you can send them to the Yamen, and I will give you the money on the same day, so you can't sell them."

"Tou Yang, does the spinning mill by the river still need people, and blacksmithing is fine. My family, Dazhu, wants to find a job."

"Yes, tomorrow you bring your resident register and the certificate from the Huangming Guard Hall to prove that you are not suspected of committing a crime, and I will arrange for it."

In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Xiong played the role of follower.So no one noticed the two of them.

Zhu Biao paused, and said calmly: "Li Xiong, who is that person? The street management is very orderly."

After hearing Zhu Biao's question, Li Xiong explained.

Only then did I find out that this man's name was Yang Tiangui, a native of Beiping Mansion, and he was the first in the test that year.But for unknown reasons, he was instead sent back to his hometown to manage the Street Division.

Could it be that high school was booked again?Zhu Biao waved his fan: "Go, think of a way, I want to talk to him."

Li Xiong nodded, he didn't know what he said to Yang Tiangui in the past, Yang Tiangui nodded and followed.

"Young master, I heard that you want to do business in Beiping Prefecture? Do you have permission from the Mingshang Branch? No, you have to go to Shanxi." Yang Tiangui said.

Zhu Biao understood that Li Xiong must have used an excuse to do business on his own, that's why he asked himself for permission from the Mingshang Branch.

"Why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea, this boss Yang can talk about it," Zhu Biao suggested.

Yang Tiangui didn't think too much, nodded and followed to sit in a tea shed, the two of them drank a big bowl of tea and started chatting.

Zhu Biao said a few words briefly, and then tried to give Yang Tiangui a favor: "Do you think the permission of the Mingshang Branch is possible? I have a favor for you..."

"Hey, you man, I don't eat this."

Yang Tiangui was angry.

Zhu Biao said: "Okay, then I won't talk about good things, talk about business."

"Young master, you have to go through the process of doing business. The current crown prince has regulations. If you don't follow the rules, what will you do if you evade taxes?"

When Yang Tiangui spoke, Mung Dou's eyes were small, and the tails of his brows were pulled down, like a clown.

"Show me your way." Yang Tiangui asked.

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Xiong, where the two of them needed a guide, he said that he forgot to bring it and was at the inn.

Yang Tiangui shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not because you don't have a guide."

"Yes!" Li Xiong was a little impatient when he asked, and his voice was a little angry.

"What are you angry about? There is no guide, so I will take you to the Yamen." Yang Tiangui looked at Zhu Biao and Li Xiong carefully again: "You two don't look like good people~"

"You are not a good person." Li Xiong pointed at Zhu Biao and said, "You can't say that to him."

"Without a guide, why can't we talk?" Yang Tiangui slanted his eyebrows, moved his nose, and put his hands behind his back.

"Then I'll show you something, don't be scared." Zhu Biao said.

"Don't worry, you won't be scared."

Zhu Biao nodded, and took out a plaque in his arms that was engraved with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Li Xiong took it and said, "This is Luyin."

Yang Tiangui has also seen the world, and he has also visited the Imperial College, holding the sign and flipping it left and right: "This is something from the palace."

"Exactly, this can be regarded as a guide!" Zhu Biao smiled.

Yang Tiangui was so frightened that his legs gave way, his brows were drawn down, and he sat on the ground.

The people nearby recognized Yang Tiangui, thought he was being bullied, and were about to come over, but Yang Tiangui immediately stopped him, saying that he was fine.

"Get up, go talk elsewhere." Zhu Biao turned and left.

Li Xiong followed immediately.

Yang Tiangui wiped the sweat from his brow, took out a small denomination banknote, handed it to the tea seller, and waited for the change before he chased after him.

There was only one big table on the top of the restaurant near the military academy. After Yang Tiangui wiped Zhu Biao's stool, he stood up by himself.

Who would have thought that it was the prince in front of him, he was really blind, and said at that time that the prince was not a good person.

He really wanted to slap himself a few times.

"Yang Tiangui? Is Gu a good person?"

Yang Tiangui's legs went limp, and he slumped on the ground again: "His Royal Highness."

"I heard that you were No.1 in last year's test? Why did you go back to Beiping Mansion again and become a small boss." Zhu Biao was curious about him: "Did someone trip you up?"

"No." Yang Tiangui shook his head: "I did pass the exam, but because my appearance was so ugly that it was not considered elegant, Hu Weiyong refused to let me take the exam and returned to Beiping Mansion."

Glancing at Yang Tiangui, this guy does have a peculiar appearance, and he is generally an official, with a good appearance.

Zhu Biao nodded: "Since you are a person with real talent and learning, in the past few days, you should tell Gu about Beiping Mansion, including the people's livelihood and business affairs here. If you do well, Gu will take you back to the capital. go."

"His Royal Highness, I am ugly." Yang Tiangui said.

Sometimes, Zhu Biao didn't take much care of the imperial examinations, so Yang Tiangui was talented and learned, but he was rejected because of his catfish appearance.

This time, if he is really a person of talent and virtue, he can do some meritorious service by taking him back to the capital.
