Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 366 King Qin returns, Su Jing is confused

In Fengxian Hall, Zhu Xi had just retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to a yellow cloth and opened it directly, revealing the world map behind it.

At first, Lao Zhu asked the painter to try to copy Su Jing's original painting. After all, it was painted on the wall of the prison. The wall was not so smooth and looked a bit shabby.

But the top court painters copied several old Zhu and were not satisfied.

Either the color is uncomfortable, or it's not rigorous enough.

In short, Lao Zhu can always find some faults in the copied ones. Later, he framed the original painting that was directly shoveled off the front wall and put it in Fengxian Hall.

Looking at the vast map of the world, Lao Zhu felt for the first time that he had more energy than he wanted.

The world is too big!
Today's Ming Dynasty is indeed powerful and prosperous, even the land of Great Qin in the far west is still in the lead.

but.

In such a vast world, the limit of Ming Dynasty is here.

The tall mountains and the boundless sea are huge obstacles blocking the progress of the Ming army.

The current Ming Dynasty is already the limit that Zhu Yuanzhang can reach.

The painful lessons Su Jing mentioned must come from the vast world outside the Ming Dynasty.

Broaden education and emancipate the mind.

Lao Zhu's heart was wandering. From the current point of view, there can be enlightenment, but what is the liberation of the mind?
Could it be that the prince and general Ning Youzhong are like this?

When he was a commoner, Lao Zhu firmly believed in this statement, but now that he has become the emperor, he does not want the people to believe this statement.

A contradiction, but it is real.

In the future, the Ming Dynasty is bound to last for thousands of generations, and the painful lesson Su Jing said seems inevitable.

How to choose between now and the future?

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a difficult decision-making situation for a while.

……

the other side.

Zhu Xi, who left Fengxian Hall, immediately came to Queen Ma Kunning Palace.

"My son pays homage to his mother."

Zhu Xi bowed respectfully to Queen Ma, but it was obviously much easier than in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Strict father and loving mother, this is quite standard in Lao Zhu's family.

Empress Ma's love and care for her sons was deeply integrated into her daily life.

"Get up, Ping'er."

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Xi and smiled and said: "Now that you are the King of Qin, you should have some dignity of your own. You don't need to bow when you see me in the future."

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Mother, no matter who the son or minister is, he will always be your son. If a son salutes his mother, what's the problem?"

Hearing this, Queen Ma nodded, feeling full of relief.

"How did it feel to be with Mr. Su for three days?"

Queen Ma asked Zhu Xi.

Compared to Lao Zhu directly asking what he learned from Su Jing, Queen Ma was obviously more concerned about Zhu Jing's own feelings.

Zhu Xi immediately replied: "I feel that I have benefited a lot from returning to my mother's house. I will always remember Mr. Su's teachings and never forget them."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Empress Ma nodded and said, "If you can understand this yourself, I will rest assured. If you study hard with Mr. Su, it will definitely be useful no matter what."

Empress Ma never doubted Su Jing's ability.

Zhu Xi said: "Don't worry, mother. I have learned a lot this time, but I have also discovered my own shortcomings. When Mr. Su is away, I have to work harder. I will not let Mr. Su down next time I see him." .”

When the book is used, it will be less regretful. This is Zhu Chong's real experience.

"What a good boy."

Empress Ma reached out and touched Zhu Ping's head. Zhu Ping had changed so much, and she was even more grateful to Su Jing in her heart.

At the same time, Empress Ma was very fortunate that she had had immense trust in Su Jing from the beginning and had always treated Su Jing sincerely.

"By the way, have you asked me what I asked you to ask Mr. Su?"

Queen Ma asked again.

She was always worried about Su Jing's marriage, and she wanted to do something about it.

Of course, Queen Ma respects Su Jing's wishes immensely.

Zhu Yu replied: "How can my son forget the queen mother's instructions? Mr. Su also guessed that this was what the queen mother meant, so he told my son clearly."

"Tell me what Mr. Su said."

Empress Ma urged immediately.

Empress Ma was not at all surprised that Su Jing could guess what she meant, it would be strange if she couldn't.

Zhu Ming said: "Yes, Queen Mother. Mr. Su said that he would not contradict or force his marriage. If the fate comes, he does not mind getting married, but if there is no fate, he will not be in a hurry to get married and continue the family line. He is not in a hurry about things."

Hearing this, Queen Ma's face showed a hint of joy: "Okay, since Mr. Su thinks so, then I'm relieved."

"Queen, what do you mean by that? Don't worry?"

Zhu Xi asked curiously.

He also saw that his mother wanted Su Jing to get married, but Su Jing's answer clearly did not mean she wanted to get married.

Why are you relieved?
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Ping and smiled and said: "Pang'er, Mr. Su believes in fate, and as long as there is fate, then doesn't this mean that he doesn't exclude me from arranging a blind date for him? Fate can also be arranged."

As the wife of Lao Zhu and the empress of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Ma is not stupid and is quite flexible.

Fate doesn't say it must be a chance encounter. You can also arrange a blind date to see if it's a big deal or not.

With Su Jing's reputation, there are too many people rushing to marry their daughters.

"Is this still okay?"

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, very surprised.

This thing was different from what he imagined.

"Ping'er, you don't have to worry about this. I'll make the arrangements. You've done a great job!"

Empress Ma said with a smile, she had already started to think about which women could be arranged for Su Jing.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I understand."

Zhu Xi could only nod. It was too early for him to do this.

At this moment, Zhu Xi suddenly remembered that Su Jing reminded him a few words about the marriage.

He immediately turned to Empress Ma and said, "Mother, Mr. Su told my son that the important matter of my son's marriage is a matter of the Ming Dynasty, and that in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be the most important thing. What does Mr. Su mean by this? Could it be that Mr. Su is saying that my son's marriage will be a matter of the Ming Dynasty? Isn't your princess my son's favorite?"

As soon as Zhu Feng finished speaking, Queen Ma's face darkened.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's marriage, although he was younger than his age, in fact Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had already discussed it.

As the King of Qin, Zhu Ping's marriage will definitely be a political marriage.

He is not a child of an ordinary family. With his status, this is unavoidable.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had some inner considerations about the person he wanted to marry.

"Ping'er, Mr. Su's words are a warning. I hope you can understand the stakes involved. It's for your own good. You must remember it."

Queen Ma said to Zhu Xi.

Regarding the specific content, she didn't say much to Zhu Fang.

This matter has not yet been decided, and there is no telling what changes will be made in the future.

Zhu Xi nodded and said, "Mother, please remember." Empress Ma said, "Okay, you can go back. You must be tired from traveling all the way. Take a good rest."

Queen Ma didn't ask much about what Zhu Jingdu learned from Su Jing.

"Yes, Queen Mother, I have retreated there."

Zhu Xi bowed and bowed, then slowly stepped back.

After leaving the palace, he returned to Prince Qin's Mansion. He has not yet fully absorbed what Su Jing taught, so he still needs to review and think about it.

However, as soon as he arrived at his house, Zhu Xi found someone already waiting for him.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Biao in front of him with a surprised look on his face. He was very surprised.

He knows that Zhu Biao is very busy now and has many things to do every day.

Now he was waiting in his own mansion, which really made Zhu Xi a little unbelievable.

"Second brother, I heard that you just came back from Master Su, so I came here to take a look."

Zhu Biao didn't mince words and said very directly that he was here just for Su Jing.

Zhu Fang smiled and said, "Brother, it turns out you are concerned about Mr. Su's situation."

Zhu Biao immediately said: "How are you doing, Master Su?"

Since he no longer studies with Su Jing, Zhu Biao always feels empty.

Because I was too busy, I never even wrote a letter.

Now that he heard that Zhu Ming was back from Su Jing, he couldn't wait to come.

Zhu Xi replied: "Brother, everything is well with Mr. Su. He feels much more comfortable than when he was in the capital."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief. He was very happy that Su Jing was fine.

Zhu Fang said doubtfully: "Brother, what kind of person is Mr. Su? He will definitely be happy if he can do anything when he returns home."

Zhu Biao said: "Second brother, the current situation in the court is complicated. Although Mr. Su is not an official in the court, he has been involved. Things are not that simple."

As he personally handled more government affairs, Zhu Biao also had a different view on the entire Ming Dynasty.

In other words, a more accurate understanding.

Zhu Biao now understands Su Jing's role in the court and the role his father Zhu Yuanzhang wants him to play.

The more he understood this, the clearer he became that Su Jing's situation was actually a situation on fire.

"That's true."

Zhu Xi nodded. Although he didn't know much, he could always feel something.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xi and said, "How is it? I learned a lot from Master Su. Did you cause any trouble to Master Su?"

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Brother, don't worry. When I'm with Mr. Su, I always remember your instructions. Watch more, do more and talk less."

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "That's right. Don't make Master Su unhappy. You can continue to ask for advice next time. Learn more from Master Su. It will be beneficial throughout your life."

The eldest brother is like a father, and Zhu Biao's performance is very good.

Zhu Fang solemnly said: "Brother, don't worry. I already know how powerful Mr. Su is. Look, these are the notes I took. I am preparing to review and study carefully."

With that said, Zhu Xi took out the notes he had taken and handed them to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao did not answer, but said: "This is what Master Su taught you. As the eldest brother, I don't think it's appropriate. Second brother, you'd better study on your own."

Zhu Biao didn't feel the slightest bit jealous or unhappy about Su Jing teaching Zhu Xi.

He was happy for his brothers to learn something from Su Jing.

"Okay, big brother, I will study hard."

Zhu Xi nodded. When Zhu Biao refused, he stopped forcing him. He knew Zhu Biao's character very well.

"Okay, since everything is fine with Master Su, it's time for me to leave."

After saying that, Zhu Biao got up and left. He had a lot of things to do of his own.

At this time, Zhu Xi said: "Brother, there is a small problem with Mr. Su's shop."

Initially, Zhu Xi didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao immediately asked: "What's going on? Which shop?"

Zhu Xi immediately told Zhu Biao about Ping An Rice Shop.

Zhu Biao looked a little nervous at first, but he quickly calmed down.

"I see, it's just a trivial matter. Master Su has already made a plan, so don't worry."

Zhu Biao said lightly.

When it comes to who in the Ming Dynasty trusts Su Jing the most, Zhu Biao is definitely the one with the highest trust, bar none!

What happened to Ping An Rice Store is really a small matter.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi felt relieved a lot.

Zhu Biao didn't stay any longer, turned around and left Prince Qin's Mansion.

……

Lishui County.

In Su Jing's other courtyard, Wang Jiafu had just left.

His expression was very complicated, and he got the answer from Su Jing's mouth. He knew that he was just a bait.

In Su Jing's eyes, he was not qualified to compete with him on the same stage from beginning to end.

Wang Jiafu was unconvinced at first because he felt that even if he was not as good as Su Jing, at least he was not that unbearable.

But Su Jing simply showed him her strength, and he clearly understood that there was no comparison between him and Su Jing.

Of course, the strength Su Jing showed was not wealth, but advanced business philosophy.

It is true that the ancients were not stupid, but the modern business theory accumulated over hundreds of years of development and the wisdom of previous generations was a dimensionality-reducing blow to Wang Jiafu, who had just transitioned from a clerk to a shopkeeper.

It's not a one-dimensional thing at all. Su Jing's vision and methods were completely unimaginable by Wang Jiafu before.

Now Wang Jiafu has completely lost his pride.

In other words, he has been completely conquered by Su Jing.

It is far wiser to work under Su Jing than to start one's own business. After all, having the right leader can save you countless detours.

Wang Jiafu was shocked and at the same time extremely happy that Su Jing took notice of his little cleverness and was willing to give him a chance.

Otherwise, his fate will be the same as those of the shopkeepers who will jump out next.

Wang Jiafu can already predict what tragic things will happen by then.

There may not have been swords and swords, but there were certainly families broken and people killed.

The winner is the king and the loser is the loser, not only on the battlefield, but also in the shopping mall.

Su Jing sat in the small courtyard, enjoying the sunset on the horizon contentedly. The incident at Ping An Rice Shop did not cause him too much fluctuation.

Compared with the maelstrom of the capital, these can only be regarded as small waves in life.

At this moment, what troubled Su Jing was not a business problem, but himself.

After coming to Ming Dynasty for so long, Su Jing, who never thought about changing anything, has actually changed a lot.

Should such changes continue?
