First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 397
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Sell them [-] shi of grain, and the price of grain will double, and then ask them to gather and help the orphans, at least to ensure that they can live."

Chen Rongyan agreed, and then said hesitantly: "Just now that surnamed Xun said that if we sell more than ten thousand shi of grain, it may be difficult to collect so much cash for a while, and I want to ask if we can use the farmland shop to pay for part of it."

Zhu Biao nodded indifferently. He didn't come here to make money. What's more, once these corrupt officials died, the stolen money and stolen goods had to be taken back to the imperial court. Family.

This is why Zhu Biao has been too lazy to do business. If he only wants to earn property in the Ming Dynasty, then why bother to think about it?

In China, since ancient times, people have power and wealth, and wealth without power is nothing but leeks for others to harvest.

If the policy is relaxed a bit, big merchants can be raised in a few years. In the same way, a random order can make them hand over everything. A mere merchant or a county magistrate can ruin his family at will.

After Zhang Heng woke up in the afternoon, he invited Zhu Biao to drink tea and listen to an opera together. The operas in the Shaanxi-Gansu region also had a rough flavor, which was different from that of the small bridges and flowing waters in the south of the Yangtze River.

Neither of them talked about food. Zhang Heng really has the feeling that a scholar-bureaucrat is ashamed of talking about profit, and he looks down on merchants at all. This behavior makes Zhu Biao quite disgusted. He is ashamed of talking about profit, but he is not ashamed of corruption. , I don't know how to develop this aloofness.

Zhu Biao didn't bother to stay for the dinner, so Zhang Heng asked Zhang Mingyuan to send him out of the house after some refusal, and also sent him several treasured calligraphy and paintings of Tang and Song Dynasties.

After Zhu Biao got in the car and drove back to the mansion where he stayed temporarily, he hurriedly took a shower. Such an official was quite generous at first sight, but the more he looked at it, the more he could notice the rotten smell inside. Now Zhu Biao remembered that he had talked about the Zhang family Some of the father and son feel sick and want to vomit because they are so beautiful because they are thieves.

No matter how glamorous the corrupt officials appear on the surface, they are all dirty and dirty inside. If ordinary people are fooled by them like this, they will be dragged into the same boat sooner or later.

Zhu Biao sat leaning against the tub, his jet-black hair draped over his white back, his face was a little red from the heat, Liu An and Zhao Huai'an poured water to serve him.

Thinking back on the past few days, and the benefits obtained in exchange for the [-] shi of grain, Zhu Biao couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't come in person, who would not be affected, and who could deal with it fairly?
As long as you join them, you will be able to obtain inexhaustible wealth for the three generations to eat, drink, and enjoy in one go, and you can also meet a group of colleagues who have great power in the local area. No matter what you do in the future, you will have interests in the party, and it will also help you get promoted... …

Apart from some risks, there are so many benefits that I can’t say enough. The imperial envoy said it nicely, but once they return to the capital, they are only six or seven rank Yushitai officials. There are a few people who are sincerely willing to be officials with a clean sleeve for a lifetime.

What's more, Zhu Biao has only seen so much. It only took two days. Zhang Mingyuan just said that he would take him to have fun tomorrow. If you dare to play, we will dare to serve you.

Gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, beautiful women, calligraphy, painting, poetry, strange rocks, strange animals, what do you like, what do people play with you, so that you can enjoy yourself comfortably, without thinking about anything, and even arrange the future for you.

In the afternoon, Zhang Heng also gave him a prescription, which was an exclusive secret recipe opened by a famous doctor from Shaanxi and Gansu. It turned out that Zhang Heng specially prepared it when he heard that the old lady of the Chen family had a sore waist and legs, and the famous doctors in Hangzhou didn't like it.

Who is Chen Yunze? Chen Youzong's concubine, who is the envoy of the General Administration, is reluctant even if he is a concubine. Zhang Heng is helping him please in front of the old lady of the Chen family. Filial piety is greater than heaven. When the old lady is happy, Chen Youzong is naturally happy too. , Chen Yunze stood up in the family.

How thoughtful this consideration is, it’s not just about working hard on things outside of you, but really thinking about you from your point of view, Zhu Biao couldn’t help shivering when he took the prescription.

The ability of corrupt officials to corrupt others is too terrifying, and it can be regarded as knowing why the imperial court sent four or five waves of imperial missions for disaster relief inspections without much effect.

How many upright ministers like Qian Tang and Han Qi are there?In the future, can Zhang Fan, Guo Chong, Li Jin, and the others remain upright?

Unknowingly, the water cooled down, and when Zhu Biao was about to come out, Zhao Huaian went out and came back to report: "My lord, miss Qinglian, please see me."

Zhu Biao stepped out of the bathtub, dried his body under the service of Liu An, and changed into a suit of light clothes, but the long hair hanging behind him was still dripping with water: "Call in."

Zhu Biao walked back to the inner bedroom and sat on a chair, stopping Liu An who wanted to dry his hair. After a while, he put on a white skirt with smoke cages and plum blossoms, a moon satin embroidered magnolia flying butterfly jacket, and a waist tie. An emerald green belt, the waist is twisted with a grip, and the lower buttocks are really raised, and there is a fluttering fan in his hand.

Qinglian who came in met Zhu Biao's deep and indifferent eyes, and forgot to say what she had prepared, and just saluted awkwardly.

Zhu Biao looked at her for a while and asked Liu An to give him the towel for wiping his hair. Liu An was taken aback for a moment. The towel in his hand was embroidered with dragon patterns, and it was used by the palace. Lian, I'd better go get another ordinary insurance by myself.

"The villain is stupid, this towel is a bit dirty, so I will change it for Miss Qinglian."

Only then did Zhu Biao see the ornamentation on the scarf, but it was no big deal, even if it spread, it would be fine, after all, in the eyes of others, he was a man who had climbed onto the bed of the East Palace, and a few silk scarves used by the palace were also normal.

However, it is good for the people below to be more cautious, and Zhu Biao will naturally not attack them. Liu An quickly fetched an ordinary one. In midsummer, it doesn't feel cold.

Both Liu An and Zhao Huai'an stood aside with their heads bowed, the old god Zhu Biao was smelling the fragrance coming from behind and closed his eyes to meditate, but Qing Lian was a little confused. He had learned a lot since he was a child, and he was no worse than a famous lady. Of course, the head of the family also understands.

But everything here is incomprehensible. I thought that Mr. Chen was like a normal dude, and he would eat up and wipe it off when he saw her, but now he doesn't care at all. Could it be that he really likes to break sleeve man?

No wonder there are two men waiting beside her, and the maid can't even enter the door. Qinglian feels a little miserable when she thinks of this place. She is a miserable person who can't help herself. She thought she could be given to a son-in-law. It's also my luck, even if it's better to be a concubine for him than to be given to those disgusting old men, but I didn't expect that he was not good at women...
