Chapter 350 He Wants to Take You as His Disciple

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching.

During this period of time, Prince Xing’s Mansion was considered calm. Even Zhu Hao had warned Lu Song that Prince Xiang’s Mansion might be instigated to wait for an opportunity to make trouble, but it hadn’t happened so far. It seemed that everyone in Prince Xing’s Mansion felt that Prince Xiang’s Mansion had softened and the land was going smoothly. Once you get it, there will be no more side effects.

Just as the twelfth lunar month came, after the first snowfall, Tang Yin came to see Zhu Hao with greetings from afar.

"...After the autumn harvest, Wang Bo'an led troops in southern Jiangxi and Tingzhou, Fujian, and wiped out more than a dozen bandits with a thunderous force. Now the official roads in Jiangxi are basically restored, and the imperial court has clearly rewarded them. The strategy he used is When you first came to Anlu, what you told him at the banquet.

"In the letter, he especially praised your wisdom and envied me for accepting you as a good disciple, and he meant to recruit you under his name."

Tang Yin laughed while talking, secretly observing Zhu Hao's reaction.

Neither humble nor overbearing, Zhu Hao shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Even so, it doesn't have much to do with me, does it?"

Tang Yin turned his head to the side in annoyance, and rolled his eyes violently: "For someone else, how honorable is it to be praised by today's celebrities at such a young age? You have made a lot of achievements in the palace, and King Xing values ​​it. Now even the great scholars who are famous in the capital are being accepted. You are a disciple, why don't you act a little happier?
"Of course, I don't mean to be your teacher. It all depends on your own choice. I'm just telling you the current situation."

Zhu Hao thought about it, did Wang Shouren really propose to accept him as a disciple, or did Tang Yin intend to test it?

No matter what, Zhu Hao didn't plan to join anyone's school. He successfully befriended Zhu Si in the palace, which was already the biggest political investment, and he didn't need to find any famous teachers or great scholars to support him, and he didn't need to have accomplices.

If you worship someone as your teacher, there will be a lot of brothers, brothers, brothers, uncles, nephews and nephews in the future, and you will be easily constrained in your actions.

"Where is the letter? May I read it?"

Zhu Hao stretched out his hand to ask for it.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "The letter was written to me, what does it look like to you? I was still thinking about what relationship you have with Wang Bo'an, but now it seems that you really don't know him... Well, can you Getting to know such a noble person will be very helpful for you to become an official in the future. Well, let's continue reading your book."

Tang Yin neither showed Zhu Hao the letter written by Wang Shouren, nor did he have in-depth conversations, probably because he was afraid that Zhu Hao would be too clever, and Zhu Hao might see the clues if he said too much.

"Mr. Tang, I would like to ask, is there any follow-up to the matter that the palace said before that it would send me to the Nanjing Imperial Academy?" Seeing that Tang Yin was about to leave, Zhu Hao suddenly asked.

Tang Yin was a little surprised, turned around and asked: "You really want to leave the palace? Forget it, I'll ask someone later, I advise you to focus on studying when you are young, and you can wait until you are an adult when you go abroad to study... "

Zhu Haodao: "I have already passed the examination when I became an adult, how can I spare the energy to go out and study?"

"You mean you passed the Jinshi exam?"

Tang Yin became angry when he heard this, especially when he thought that Gongsunyi had relied on Zhu Hao's help to pass the examination, and felt that Zhu Hao's prowess in the examination field was not limited to his good writing.

Tang Yindao: "Let me ask for you. If you really want to study abroad, I can help you... Don't think that I have to rely on your advice to refuse you to leave. I also hope that you will have a bright future in the future."

……

……

The winter of the eleventh year of Zhengde was a bit dull.

But this is the calm before the storm.

Zhu Hao is familiar with history, so he naturally knows that Zhu Houzhao will go on tour many times in the coming year, and the Xuan Mansion will soon become half of his home, and then King Ning will cause rebellion and go to the south of the Yangtze River... On the way back, he fell into the water and got sick. Zhengde died in sixteen years.

Thinking that there were still four years before Zhu Houcong's ascension to the throne, Zhu Hao felt a little urgent.

If it was because of the butterfly effect after his arrival, Zhu Houzhao would not die...

How long do I have to wait?
After all, it was an accidental event that Zhu Houzhao fell into the water during his southern tour. This kind of low-probability event is most likely to be affected by the butterfly effect. Zhu Hao should prepare for the possible occurrence of "Zhu Houzhao does not toss, he will not die" in the future.

If this guy doesn't die, I don't have a chance to rise up!
Could it be that if I become the number one scholar in the examination, I will compete for favor with a sycophant in the court?
No matter how powerful you are in Zhengde Dynasty, you can't stand an emperor who loves to mess around. You have tossed about all the good strategies for governing the country. How can you realize your ambition to change the times?
The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Su Xigui arrived in Anlu after a long journey, and the first thing he did after arriving was to discuss with Zhu Hao about the purchase.

"Master Zhu, let me make it clear. In the past, I only gave me ten or twenty mirrors, which is too little. I want to buy more at a time, and the price will remain the same... I will not force the glass beads. I probably know that this is the Xingwang Mansion. If you make too many tributes to the capital, it will affect Xingwangfu..."

Su Xigui is still so reasonable.

Probably the end of the new year is about to come, and the dignitaries in Beijing and other places began to buy new year gifts for themselves, their wives and concubines, and the demand for silver mirrors and glasses naturally increased.

Zhu Hao said: "Su Dongzhu, the ugly words are above, I just supply you with more goods this time, and it will return to normal in the next year. If there are too many of these things, they can't be sold at a higher price. I have never shipped them through other channels, disturbing market."

"understand."

Su Xigui had a smile on his face.

"Also, you can't go to the Zhu family to discuss the purchase of colored glaze beads... I heard that the Zhu family is imitating colored glaze beads recently, but they haven't been very successful."

Zhu Hao continued to apply eye drops.

Su Xigui sighed: "You can't hide anything from Little Zhu's family... I also tried to see if I could imitate a batch of glazed balls before, and I tried to buy off the craftsmen of Zhu's family... To be honest, the heat of these glazed beads, That was during the autumn period, and now I rush to make a batch now, and I can’t sell them at a high price. In the past, a bead can be exchanged for a red gold of the same weight, but now it can be exchanged for a silver ball.”

Zhu Hao thought to himself, that is quite valuable.

"Master Zhu, listen to what I said, are you tempted? If you want to make it, just tell me, I will never tell outsiders that you made it."

Su Xigui laughed and said, "If it is really imitated by the Zhu family, then this good business will fall into the hands of others, and it will be too late to regret."

"Really? I also hope that the Zhu family can find a profitable business. Don't always think about me and my mother. If they can't make it, I can help them..."

Zhu Haoyan said casually with a smile.

Su Xigui laughed loudly: "Master Zhu is really loyal, filial and fraternal."

The two chatted for a while.

Zhu Hao asked: "The matter of Huang Fantai going to Beijing, but should it be formally implemented?"

"Yes, the official duties will be handed over at the end of the year, and the trip will start at the beginning of next year. It is said that he will first work in the capital for half a year to sort out the relevant accounts of the duties of the Ministry of Accounts, and then cooperate with the imperial court in using troops in the northwest. Xuanfu manages treasury, military pay and other affairs."

Su Xigui had nothing to hide in front of Zhu Hao.

Zhu Haodao: "As far as I know, His Majesty has the idea of ​​staying permanently in the Xuanfu. He has built a building in the Xuanfu before. If he stays in the Xuanfu in the future, Huang Fantai will be an official with few accompanying cars. There is a chance to perform."

"Oh?"

Su Xigui looked very surprised, "How did the young master know that the Holy Majesty wants to stay here permanently? This building is here, isn't it just for a temporary reception? This... how can His Majesty stay here permanently? It doesn't make sense. .After all, there are lessons learned from the past..."

Perhaps he wanted to mention the changes in the Civil Fortress, but because it was too sensitive, Su Xigui could stop talking about it.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Your Majesty is very keen on the matter of serving the army. As the saying goes, the three armies go first before the food and grass are mobilized. If Huang Gong wants to make a difference in the Ministry of Households, he must manage the food and grass well. I am afraid that this will depend on Su Dongzhu's mediation. "

Su Xigui nodded thoughtfully.

It's no secret that Zhu Houzhao sent people to build a residence in Xuanfu. Some people even speculated that the emperor might stay in Xuanfu for a while, but who would have thought that Zhu Houzhao would move his family to Xuanfu and proclaim himself Duke of the Town, The mighty general, also named Zhu Shou?

Even Yingzong, who had experienced the Tumu Fortress Change, was a nonsense in the first half of his life, and he didn't play so much.

"If there's a chance, I'd like to travel to the Northwest, and I'll ask Dongzhu Su to help arrange it." Zhu Hao said with a smile.

Only then did Su Xigui come to his senses, and said happily, "Young Master, is this going to imitate Wang Zhongcheng's trip to the Northwest and provide advice for the defense of the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty? No wonder the Little Master and Wang Zhongcheng have the same thoughts when they first see each other... Really until then , I will make good arrangements for life."

……

……

Recently, the Zhu family has indeed been imitating marbles.

But the effect is not ideal.

It is not difficult to make a pure and transparent glass ball, but it is very difficult to make the glass ball very smooth, which is a bit of luck.

As for adding colored fillings to the glass balls, the Zhu family doesn’t have this technology at all, and they don’t know what’s inside. They’ve tried many filling materials, but all of them will deteriorate the glazed beads, and they will shatter at any touch. Poor and prone to air bubbles.

"Just such a thing, dare to call it jewelry?"

This day, Zhu Jiashi saw the imitation samples sent by Butler Liu, and was furious.

She thought that the opportunity for the Zhu family to make a fortune came, but who knew that she couldn't even make simple glazed beads, so the old lady immediately got angry in front of Steward Liu and several shopkeepers: "It's not as good as my son who is not up to date! You are the second head of the family now! where?"

At this time, Zhu Jiashi missed Zhu Wanjian.

Among other things, after the Zhu family took over the colored glaze workshop, Zhu Wanjian was the only one who made money from the colored glaze workshop. Where is Liuli Workshop headed?
Liu Guanjia said: "The second master wrote a letter a few days ago saying that he had entered the ground of Huguang, but these few days... there is no news, but it is expected... to be back before the end of the year."

Zhu Jiashi doesn't understand how unreliable Zhu Wanjian is, and all his servants are well-versed.

That guy went to the capital, saying he was looking for someone, rather than enjoying it. This time, he was looking for a place to have fun before he went home and was under control. It would be strange if he could go so fast on this journey.

"Old lady, many businessmen from other places have mentioned to us the matter of glazed beads recently. Do you want to provide them with a batch of goods first?" Steward Liu asked for instructions.

Zhu Jiashi said: "This glazed bead is a tribute from the emperor, and it must not be made too badly. It is better to hurry up and let the craftsmen improve the craftsmanship. Let's talk about it after your second master comes back."
