Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 370: Is Daqin’s bank really like this?
"Even so, Pinger, you can't treat Mr. Su like this. You really don't understand etiquette!"

Queen Ma still scolded.

For her, any disrespect to Su Jing is a big mistake.

"Sister! This time we have to say something for the second child. Su Jing is quite stubborn when it comes to teaching students. If the second child doesn't agree, I'm afraid this matter won't happen at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and spoke to Queen Ma, rarely helping Zhu Chong explain.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiang's expression changed drastically.

The understanding from his father is of great significance to Zhu Xi.

"Thank you, Father, for your understanding!"

Zhu Xi stood up immediately and said.

One of the biggest reasons why he was willing to change was that he could be recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But now he has seen hope, and he is indeed being recognized bit by bit.

Queen Ma didn't say anything. When her son was here, she still had to give Lao Zhu the face he deserved.

After a while, the meal was finished.

"Father, Emperor, Mother, I will take my leave now."

Zhu Ping said to the two of them.

Empress Ma nodded and said, "Well, remember to be slower when you go back. Also, you must review the things Mr. Su teaches from time to time."

"Yes, mother, my son, please remember your mother's teachings."

Zhu Xi nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Second brother, since you want to do something, then make some achievements. Don't let us down."

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely do something good."

After saying that, Zhu Xi withdrew.

Empress Ma looked towards the direction Zhu Ping was leaving and said, "Chongba, why are you so tolerant of Ping'er? You usually scold him the most."

Zhu Xi was second only to Zhu Biao in age, and he was very naughty, and even led other princes into mischief, so Lao Zhu naturally scolded him more.

"My second brother has done well recently, and I still deserve praise."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

Empress Ma said: "Mr. Su is still more capable, and Ping'er's changes are really big and visible to the naked eye."

Regarding Zhu Xi's current changes, Queen Ma naturally attributed all of them to Su Jing.

However, this made Lao Zhu a little unhappy.

"Sister, what you said is wrong. Isn't it because of the father's contribution to the transformation of the second child? If you make mistakes, you will be punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. That's why we have the second child now."

Zhu Yuanzhang said matter-of-factly.

Queen Ma glanced at him and said calmly: "Come on, you have been teaching Ping'er for a long time and you haven't seen much change in Ping'er. It's all thanks to Mr. Su."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face jumped slightly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Even he did not dare to easily overturn what Queen Ma had determined.

"Sister, we heard that you are looking for a woman for Su Jing recently, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Empress Ma, saying that changing the subject was Lao Zhu's most common tactic.

Empress Ma did not reveal the truth, and nodded and said: "Yes, I have asked Ping'er to find out. It's not that Mr. Su doesn't like women, it's just that he hasn't met the right person yet, so I thought if I could help Mr. Su quickly." I met this destined person."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Good fellow, Su Jing is so proud that he asked my queen to be a matchmaker. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who have such an honor."

Empress Ma immediately said: "Chongba, I am willing to be the matchmaker for Mr. Su. And with Mr. Su's talent, don't say that I am the matchmaker. Even you, the emperor, can be the matchmaker."

"Just him? You still want me to be a matchmaker? I can't think of a girl from any family who could be harmed by him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unconvinced and continued to ask: "Does that girl have any candidates now?"

Queen Ma shook her head and said: "No, Mr. Su's good match cannot be matched by ordinary women. Among women of similar age, I really can't think of a suitable match for a while."

When it comes to Su Jing's marriage, Queen Ma has actually thought about it for a long time.

But it's really hard to find a good match.

On the one hand, the status cannot be low, on the other hand, one must be talented and knowledgeable, and cannot be a fool.

Only if this person's family background, talents, appearance, and character are of the highest quality can he be qualified to become Su Jing's wife.

Coupled with the fact that Su Jing's age has to be considered, this choice is really difficult.

"Chongpachi, do you have any candidates?"

Empress Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Girl, you'd better not come to us for this matter. We don't have the heart to think about this for Su Jing."

Queen Ma glared at Lao Zhu and said, "So you are very concerned about Ping'er's marriage, right?"

Zhu Cang's marriage was discussed by Lao Zhucai and Queen Ma not long ago.

Although it is still early to get married, the candidate is already there.

The sister of King Baobao of Northern Yuan Dynasty, Guanyin slave!

Wang Baobao, or Kuokou Timur, is now the core member of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and a major concern of the Ming Dynasty.

As an opponent, Zhu Yuanzhang admired Wang Baobao very much.

For such an opponent, surrendering is definitely the best option, and marriage is one of the most suitable methods.

Zhu Xi was his second son, and he was named King of Qin. This must be very important.

The purpose of this political marriage is also quite obvious.

"Sister, the second child is the King of Qin. For the sake of Ming Dynasty, this is what he should do."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said seriously.

Empress Ma sighed slightly and said: "As the saying goes, marriage is a major event, and parents order the matchmaker. As parents, we actually didn't do it very appropriately."

Queen Ma had no objection to Lao Zhu's idea.

She knew very well that if she was born into an emperor's family, even if she was not a prince, she was destined to have such a fate.

So Queen Ma didn't blame Lao Zhu, she just felt that what she did was not good enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, this is all our doing, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, the second brother's marriage is very good. Wang Baobao's sister is not something ordinary people can marry."

Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's unselfish expression when he talks about other things, but when facing Queen Ma, he still has the pampering he deserves.

Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Okay, why are you talking about this? But this time, what Mr. Su taught Chen'er must not be simple. He even forgot to eat."

Although Empress Ma never asked Zhu Xi what he had learned from Su Jing, it is not difficult to guess from the energy that he spent sleeping and forgetting to eat that it must be a very powerful thing.

Empress Ma was not curious, she was just worried that if Su Jing said something about the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it would make Lao Zhu want to kill again.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Yes, sister, you are really a roundworm in our belly. This kid Su Jing has such a good head!"

As he said this, Lao Zhu excitedly told Queen Ma what Zhu Xi had just told him.

Queen Ma had just listened to the beginning for a while, then interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "So, what Mr. Su taught Chen'er was economic knowledge, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, it would be great if Su Jing could be the Minister of Household Affairs in the Ming Dynasty."

With the economic level demonstrated by Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied with the management of the Ming Dynasty's economy.

"I'm afraid the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not enough. Mr. Su's talent needs to be fully utilized by the Prime Minister."

Empress Ma said.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It's a pity. Su Jing doesn't have enough salt and oil, so we can't do anything about it, so let's do it." Empress Ma said, "Chongba, actually this is good. Let Mr. Su teach Biao'er and Ping'er how to govern the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Queen Ma was very open-minded. Why bother forcing Su Jing to do something she didn't want to do?

"Of course we know this truth, so we only agreed when the second son went to Su Jing's place."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

As the King of Qin, Zhu Xi went directly to Su Jing and stayed with her for three days. This was not a small matter.

Queen Ma said: "What about Fan'er? Fan'er should go next."

The eldest is Zhu Biao, the second is Zhu Xi, and the third is Zhu Fan.

If we come down one by one, it’s time to reach Zhu Fang.

"Let's talk about the third child. He doesn't have anything to change. He's doing fine now."

Zhu Yuanzhang said casually.

Although it is a good thing to study with Su Jing, if you stay with Su Jing for a long time, you will be changed too much, which is something Lao Zhu doesn't want.

Zhu Fan, the third child, has always been very good in Zhu Yuanzhang's impression.

Study hard, like reading, and have good intelligence.

This is someone else's child.

Lao Zhu felt that there was no need to go to Su Jing to study with Zhu Fan like this.

Queen Ma shook her head and said: "Chongba, I think you are out of your mind. Fan'er's admiration for Mr. Su is no less than that of the second child. If you don't let him go, he might blame you in his heart!"

What Lao Zhu saw was a general impression, but what Queen Ma knew was a private temperament.

"He dares! We are his father, how dare he blame himself?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed and he said angrily.

Empress Ma immediately said: "Okay, okay, you get angry after saying a few words. Look at you, you look a bit like an emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, that's not what you said. We don't care about what others say."

He was about to get angry, but Lao Zhu didn't forget to show off his affection.

Empress Ma said: "Anyway, I've left my words here. Chongba, you have to clear up this bowl of water. Otherwise, if Fan'er doesn't look for you, I will have to look for you too."

"I know, I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed.

At this moment, outside the palace, Zhu Feng had just left the palace. However, when he left the palace, he did not go to his Prince Qin's Mansion, but went in the direction of the Hanlin Academy.

Yes, he's looking for someone.

Hanlin Academy.

When the King of Qin arrived, all the Hanlin scholars immediately came out to pay homage to him.

Although it was already late, the Hanlin Academy was always very busy and it was common to work overtime.

In addition, Song Lian, who was ordered by the Hanlin Academy, often took the lead in working overtime, so the people below naturally did not dare to go as scheduled.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the King of Qin!"

……

Song Lian led a group of Hanlin Academy scholars to salute Zhu Ping, which was quite grand.

Zhu Xi immediately helped Song Lian up and said, "Master Song, if you are a student or not, please get up quickly."

As the crown prince's teacher, Song Lian was also a teacher at Dabentang, and Zhu Fang naturally taught him as well.

Moreover, Song Lian was quite strict, and Zhu Ping had a naughty temper, and had been beaten up many times before.

For Song Lian, it can be said to be both fearful and respectful.

Song Lian said: "Your Highness King Qin, above the classroom, I am the teacher and you are the student, but now you are the King of Qin and I am the minister, so treat it as such."

Although Song Lian even taught the prince, he could not tell the difference between one, two, three, four and five.

Zhu Xi is no longer a simple prince, but the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty.

The vassal king's taste is much higher than that of his Imperial Academy, so this etiquette is absolutely indispensable.

"Master Song's words are serious. I was so stubborn before and I really made Master Song worry too much."

Zhu Ping said to Song Lian, feeling very embarrassed about the ridiculous things he had done before.

Song Lian looked at Zhu Ping and said, "If His Highness King Qin can say such things, then Song Lian believes that His Highness King Qin has changed. Since I have been your Highness's teacher, His Highness's changes are my greatest joy."

Song Lian mastered the art of speaking very well.

"You all get up and do whatever you need to do. There is no need to change just because I'm here."

Zhu Ping said to the rest of the Hanlin Academy bachelors.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Qin."

Everyone agreed and then dispersed to do their own things.

Song Lian said to Zhu Xi, "I wonder what the purpose of Your Highness King Qin is when he comes to the Hanlin Academy at this time?"

Zhu Xi replied: "Master Song, I'm here to see Kaos. I have something to ask him."

That's right, looking for Kaos is the purpose of Zhu Ping coming to the Hanlin Academy.

"I see. Your Highness King Qin will wait a moment. I will ask Kaos to come over and see His Highness."

Song Lian said immediately.

Zhu Xi bowed and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Master Song."

Song Lian looked at Zhu Ming and smiled and said: "His Highness's changes really surprised Song Lian. I am indeed not as good as Mr. Su when it comes to teaching and educating people!"

Song Lian knew very well that the time he spent teaching Zhu Xi was much longer than that of Su Jing.

But Zhu Ming's change was entirely because of Su Jing.

This was a huge blow to Song Lian, the prince's master, but it also made him admire Su Jing even more.

Zhu Xi said: "Mr. Su is very powerful, but Master Song is also very knowledgeable. Before, it was because I was too stupid and naughty and had nothing to do with Master Song."

Song Lian's teaching level must be very high, and Zhu Ping is very self-aware in this regard.

"Your Highness, there is no need to comfort me like this. As for Mr. Su, I don't think it's a big deal."

Song Lian smiled and said, "I'll go find Kaos for His Highness first."

After saying that, Song Lian turned and left.

Zhu Xi stood there, waiting silently.

Not long after, Kaos came to Zhu Xi.

"Your Majesty, Kaos, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin."

Kaos saluted Zhu Xi very respectfully, but he was still a little surprised in his heart.

Why would King Qin look for me?Or is it this time?
Zhu Xi waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, Kaos, I'm here because I have something to do with Da Qin, and I want to ask you for advice."

"His Royal Highness, please tell me."

Kaos said immediately.

Zhu Fang immediately told Kaos what Su Jing had told him about Western gold coins and banks.

Then he asked: "Kaos, Daqin's bank, is this really the case?"
