Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 619: Take some gifts away after finishing Suzhou

Chapter 619: After Suzhou, I'll Take Some Gifts with Me
Seeing that Sun Mingyang was a person who could not be trained, Master Hu did not care too much.

Anyway, he didn't need Sun Mingyang to come out and help him.

It's just that I feel that this person is not placed in the right position.

As for other things?

Mr. Hu is not his father, why does he care so much?

After a polite and courteous meeting with all the officials in Suzhou Prefecture and a meal with them, Mr. Hu's official affairs in Suzhou Prefecture were completed.

The local officials in Suzhou, who were originally trembling with fear, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Master Hu had no intention of helping Sun Mingyang.

Without him!

Afraid!

Not to mention the unspoken rule that Beijing officials have to meet officials three levels higher than them.

Take Mr. Hu’s reputation for example. Does he need to care about things like rank?
Who doesn't know that Master Hu has always been a good brother of Your Majesty, and that Your Majesty forced the official position on Master Hu because he didn't want to do it?

You know, after Mr. Hu resigned from the position of Prime Minister, he also worked as the chief official of the Music Bureau.

If this happened to someone else, it would be a humiliation to Your Majesty and a disaster for the officials.

But in fact, everyone knows that it is just that Mr. Hu loves to play, so he uses public funds to have fun.

But the Hongwu Emperor, who hated evil the most, agreed.

From this, we can see the power of Master Hu.

It’s none of Mr. Hu’s business whatsoever regarding rank or not.

Not only can he change his own rank almost at will, he can also change the rank of others with just a word.

Therefore, who is not afraid of such a person?
Originally, all the officials in Suzhou Prefecture were ready. If Master Hu asked, they would definitely give him face and cooperate with Sun Mingyang's plan.

As a result, from beginning to end, Mr. Hu never even mentioned this matter.

After the banquet was over, one of the people in charge, who could no longer hold back, approached Master Hu and asked him tactfully. Master Hu gave an answer that was unbelievable but reasonable upon closer thought.

"Sun Mingyang?"

"This kid is not fit to be a parent official!"

"He has been doing so well in the Imperial Academy for so many years that he has become stupid!"

"He is a good person and will not hurt others on his own initiative, but he is not ruthless enough. He is destined to be either played to death by others or return to the Imperial Academy or the Censorate to be an upright official!"

"As for the rest, he doesn't have the ability to know!"

After hearing this, all the officials of Suzhou Prefecture quieted down.

Because they also understood what Master Hu meant.

Although Master Hu kept saying that Sun Mingyang would be killed if he wasn't careful, in fact, he was telling them.

"I'm going to transfer this man to the Imperial Academy or the Censorate, so don't worry about it!"

"Everyone live in peace. If Sun Mingyang doesn't bother you, you shouldn't bother him either!"

And these words, somehow, reached the ears of Prefect Sun Mingyang.

He was usually very particular about etiquette and manners, but for the first time he got himself drunk.

After a whole day and night, he finally cleaned up and found Master Hu who was on a shopping spree in Suzhou Prefecture.

"teacher!"

"Well, have you figured it out?"

"I understand. Mingyang is unworthy of the teacher's teachings over the years!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. The title of master and disciple between you and me was just a joke back then. I didn't teach you anything. How far you go and what you become is all your own business!"

"Yes, teacher! Then Mingyang will go back and submit his resignation!" "Well, it's good that you can think it through. With your personality, you should stay in a place where people don't pay so much attention to you!"

"..."

After a conversation, Sun Mingyang left.

Now that all the worries in his heart were gone, he became much more open-minded.

Without caring whether Master Hu needed it or not, he directly sent his own steward Sun Dao over.

The most interesting thing was that he brought a carriage with him, and on the carriage was a box of cash.

What Sun Dao had to do was to follow Master Hu. Whenever Master Hu or the two concubines beside him took a fancy to someone, Sun Dao would immediately run up to pay for them.

As for the price, would Mr. Sun, who comes from a wealthy family, care?
He has been too lazy to even be greedy for money for all these years. Now that he has received such kindness from Master Hu, why would he care about these things?
Mr. Hu didn't say much about it.

Sun Mingyang doesn't care. Does he care about this little money?
After all, he is the only person in the Ming Dynasty who can do business with the emperor.

Combined with other businesses in his family, it can be said that he earns a huge amount of money every year.

Since Sun Mingyang is willing to donate this small amount of money, let him do it.

This shopping and sightseeing trip took Mr. Hu a full eight days.

Although eight days is not enough to appreciate all the beauty of Suzhou.

But the famous scenery, famous food and exquisite local specialties were all packaged and experienced by Mr. Hu.

And when the Jinyiwei came excitedly to tell Master Hu that the land, shops and houses seized during the last house search had all been sold and the spoils could be divided.

Master Hu simply asked Hu Rong to bring the items purchased in the past few days to the Jinyiwei.

"Xu Ning, there's no need to rush about dividing the money. Money won't grow legs anyway."

"Just one thing. Arrange someone to send these local specialties we bought back to the Hu Mansion!"

"I can't carry these things around with me!"

When Xu Ning heard this, he nodded as a matter of course: "If Master Hu has given an order, then Xu Ning will follow it!"

Thinking it was just a risky misuse of public resources, Xu Ning even considered asking for a favor from Master Hu.

As a result, Xu Ning wanted to kneel down to Master Hu.

"By the way, here is the list, deliver it according to the names on it!"

"Hey, this is for His Majesty, and this is for the Queen!"

"And this belongs to the Crown Princess, Princess Anqing!"

"After sending the four families, send the rest to the Hu Mansion!"

"Oh, by the way, if the prince asks why he didn't have any, just tell him what we said. He is just a junior, how could we give him any gifts!"

When Xu Ning heard this, his chest almost swelled up.

This is not a case of misusing public resources for personal gain and asking him for help!

This is a step for Xu Ning to advance.

Look at the people on this list, damn, each one is more valuable than the other.

Moreover, hearing Master Hu's attitude of treating the current crown prince as his own junior, Xu Ning gave him a thumbs up with full conviction.

It has to be you!
This is the style of our Master Hu.

When going out for fun, he would not forget to bring gifts to the emperor, the queen and the crown princess in the palace.

This is not the way a ruler and his subjects should get along.

This is exactly how family and friends get along with each other.

Compared to this, the money obtained from the previous house searches was actually inferior.
