My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 486

  Chapter 486 Daming's Hope

Zhang Anshi took Ma Yu's greeting card, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Go and tell him, this king knows his purpose, go and tell him that today, this king has something important to do, so I won't meet him. He He's a businessman, he's in business, he can do whatever he can to make a profit, teach him not to worry about anything.”

  After hearing this, the captain went out, where Ma Yu was waiting anxiously outside.

  After the captain relayed Zhang Anshi's words.

  Ma Yu smiled and said, "The student understands, it's just..."

  He took out a charter from his sleeve, and said: "There are still some things. This is a student's charter. Please submit it to Your Highness."

  The captain accepted the charter suspiciously, and without hesitation, he went to see Zhang Anshi again.

Zhang Anshi opened the charter, read it carefully, and said in his mouth: "Look, look, why is this person so polite... Well... since this is his kind intention, Zhang will be disrespectful, you go and tell him Well, this king already knows the matter, everything is up to him."

  Ma Yu was outside, and waited for a while. When the captain came out and repeated Zhang Anshi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had settled his mind, and immediately said to the captain, "Thank you."

  He subconsciously took out a few silver dollars and fortified them to the captain.

  The lieutenant did not answer, but said: "You don't have to, I dare not violate the family law."

   Ma Yu smiled and left.

  Back to the shop of Ma's Shipping Company, Ma Yu was already busy.

  He immediately asked people to take the Four Treasures of the Study, wrote some poems, and made a few paintings.

   Not long after, a confidant Ma San came and said, "Young master, I found out that there are a few people who are familiar with our Ma family in the Tongxiang Hall in Shandong. I didn't expect that they also moved to Hezhou."

Ma Yu immediately inquired which family members they belonged to, wrote a few letters, and told Ma San: "Send it over later, and be more respectful. By the way, I also heard that the Wu family in Fuzhou has also arrived. Hezhou?"

   Ma San said awkwardly: "This... small one, go and find out."

  Ma Yu sighed, and said: "When I was studying, my teacher, Mr. Wu, has a close relationship with the Wu family in Fuzhou. I was taught by my teacher. Up to now, I still remember the kindness of my teacher's teaching. I found out the address. I will go to visit later."

   Ma San quickly responded and left in a hurry.

   After noon, Ma Yu's carriage arrived at a new mansion.

  Because the mansion has just been built, everything is new, but because of the newness, it seems to lack some charm. Ma Yu sent a greeting card, and soon after, someone came out.

   This person is actually Wu Tong, that's right, the same Wu Tong whom Zhu Di met when he came here the first day.

  Wu Tonglun, wearing a scarf and Confucian shirt, modestly stepped forward to greet Ma Yu.

   Ma Yu said: "If you take the liberty to visit, you will die."

  Wu Tong said happily: "It's Wu's luck that the number one scholar came to the humble house."

   "I don't dare to be the number one scholar." Ma Yu said, "I'm ashamed to say it."

   After finishing speaking, he and Wu Tong entered the hall of Wu Mansion.

  Wu Tong sighed: "Look, everything here is new, but I still feel unaccustomed to it. The old house in Fuzhou is better."

  He shook his head with a look of regret.

  Ma Yu just smiled: "At the beginning, my mentor mentioned Brother Wu repeatedly, and it is only today that I have the chance to meet him."

Wu Tongdao: "My fourth uncle also mentioned Zhuangyuangong. When he talked about Zhuangyuangong, he had a conclusion that he had been an academic officer for more than ten years. Among the characters he read, Zhuangyuangong was the most intelligent. At that time, Wu couldn't believe it when he was in Bineng High School, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be what my fourth uncle expected."

  Ma Yu smiled, and the circle of scholars said whether it was big or small.

   In a big way, scholars in the world are like crucian carp crossing a river, but in a small way, the relationship between teachers and students, classmates, the same year, old friends, in-laws, and colleagues, if you really want to discuss it in detail, you will always be able to climb to one.

  Ten thousand steps back, even if these relationships cannot be reached, the relationship between the classmate and the classmate, the old old old, the in-laws of the in-laws can be sorted out.

   What's more, the No. 1 scholar like Ma Yu is also famous because of his reputation.

   Ma Yu asked about Wu Tong's fourth uncle, and Wu Tong said, "He's already passed away."

  Ma Yu showed a sad look.

  Wu Tong comforted him: "You don't have to be like this, the world is unpredictable."

  Ma Yu suppressed her tears and said, "Brother, are you used to living here?"

  Tong Wu said: "At first I was not used to it, but I can't help it. After a long time, I gradually got used to it. I can't help it, God's will tricks people! Hey... the day before yesterday, I was in a wine shop, and I met..."

He wanted to talk about this, but he felt panicked, so he simply put aside the subject, forced a smile and said: "After all, it's not my family who come to live here, there are quite a few fellow villagers and old friends here! In the past, when we were in Fuzhou, it was rare to get together, but now it is good, we are all in Hezhou, and we meet occasionally to talk about poetry, discuss articles, drink tea and wine, and we can comfort each other and enjoy the hardships."

  Ma Yu said: "But what old knowledge do you not know?"

   Tongdao Wu: "Liu Sanyang in Jinjiang, Zhu Wen in Linjiang..."

  He said a lot in one breath.

  Ma Yu talked eloquently: "I have heard of Mr. Liu's calligraphy and painting for a long time, and I have also read Mr. Zhu's articles. At the beginning, I was full of praise. I never thought that Mr. Zhu is also here."

  Wu Tong smiled and said: "They have also heard about the name of the champion for a long time. There will be a poetry meeting tomorrow. Does the champion have time?"

  Ma Yuhui smiled and said: "If you are willing to recommend it, it will be the luck of Ma's life."

  Then, the two talked about calligraphy, painting and articles again. Wu Tong published some poems he had written in recent years and asked Ma Yu to correct them.

  Wu Tong was not only not angry, but was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes, oh, I really made Wu feel ashamed. I felt quite regretful at the beginning. Now that I have been taught by my virtuous brother, I will know where the problem lies."

This is the case among scholars, if Ma Yu is just an ordinary scholar, pointing out some mistakes, maybe others will turn their faces, but Ma Yu is a well-known champion in the north, pointing out mistakes, instead of being abrupt, Wu Tong is willing to accept it, even Think it's a beautiful thing.

   There seems to be a natural closeness between each other, and they have become acquainted soon.

  When Ma Yu was leaving, Wu Tong affectionately sent him to the middle gate, and bowed to each other, Wu Tong said: "I remember that it will be Zuixianlou tomorrow, and I will ask my virtuous brother for advice."

  Ma Yu said: "I dare not delay."

  The next day, Ma Yu came to Zuixianlou as promised.

  Many scholars have already been here, and they all came to participate in the poetry meeting. Wu Tong introduced them one by one.

Everyone has heard of Ma Yu's name, and they greeted him one after another. Ma Yu is a scholar, how to deal with it, how to talk, and how to witty jokes with others, has long been mastered. When talking about poetry, there are always a few amazing words that attract Come say hello to everyone.

  After that, they exchanged name posts with others, and they were like ducks in water.

   For several days in a row, Ma Yu was so busy that he hardly touched the ground, either going to the meeting or visiting the house. This Ma San followed Ma Yu, and everyone was paralyzed.

   At the beginning, it was my young master who didn't become the number one scholar and gave up his fame to start a business. Now he joins the crowd of scholars, discusses poetry, discusses calligraphy and painting with people, and expounds articles on fame and fame.

   So much so that the young master of his family didn't even have time to ask about business matters, and he didn't even have time to check the accounts, almost from morning to night, without sleep or rest.

   It seems that I can't wait to know all the scholars from all over the world who are avoiding disasters in Hezhou.

   For several days in a row, Hezhou was cloudy and rainy, and the air was filled with cold humidity.

Zhu Di was walking inside, and Zhu Zhanji seemed to disappear without a trace, but Zhu Di didn't care, he knew that his grandson had too many things to do, so he was happy, There will always be memorials sent from Nanjing City. As an emperor, he should do what he should do honestly, but as an emperor, his basic necessities of life should be as good as possible.

   But Yang Rong and Hu Guang were miserable.

After all, walking in a small and spacious place, it is natural for His Majesty to use it for living. A few Wenyuange University Scholars and a few ministers have to work together in the signing room of the government office. The private value room is No, everyone is laying out the copybooks, and each is drawing up a draft in a corner.

  Yi Shi Ha Xing came in a hurry, but saw Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi discussing matters.

   What he asked was naturally whether Chen Deng had a breakthrough.

  Zhang Anshi's expression was not very good, and he said in frustration: "Your Majesty, this Chen Deng is quite stubborn. This person has a will to die and refuses to speak when he dies. Such a person... Speaking of it, I admire him."

  Zhu Di took a sip of tea, frowned, and said: "If you are so stubborn, then it is not an ordinary rebellious party, and there must be a bigger conspiracy."

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "I think so too, so I took care of Chen Li and taught him to think of a way."

  Yi Shiha tiptoed to the corner, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

  Yi Shiha has become a lot more cautious now. After all, this time in Chen Deng's case, he was knocked out with a sap, and he hasn't recovered yet!

  Zhu Di glared at him and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Your Majesty..." Yi Shiha said: "Since Dongchang made a big mistake, now...in order to make up for it, I tried my best to investigate, but found...in recent days...in this Hezhou, suddenly many gentry Gathering in groups, and the leaders...activities are abnormally frequent, all in the name of poetry gatherings and talking about the past and the present. Among them... there are quite a few criticisms against the court. The slaves are wondering... whether these...are the remnants of Chen Deng's party, At this time, do you have any other plans to form an association in the name of literary critics?"

  When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately became vigilant, frowned and said, "How dare you do this under my nose?"

  Zhang Anshi looked up at Yishiha and said, "Who is this person?"

   "It's called Ma Yu." Yi Shiha said: "It was the number one scholar back then, and since then he has been in business and has done a lot of business."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  A strange look flashed in Zhang Anshi's eyes, and he finally understood why Ma Yu insisted on running to him.

  At that time, I thought this guy was too cautious, too cautious, but I didn't expect... This guy is so well versed in human nature.

  Zhu Di also had a deep impression on Ma Yu, and said, "When I first saw him, he looked like a loyal citizen, clinker..."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, is it a crime to associate with scholars? If you say this, the emperor's grandson is in Hezhou, and he also has contacts with many scholars and scholars who gathered here. Could it be that His Royal Highness... "

  Yi Shiha: "..."

   This kind of comparison is not something that ordinary people dare to say to the emperor.

  Sometimes when it comes to boldness, it is also true that Zhang Anshi is really convinced.

  Thinking of this, Yi Shiha couldn't help but envy Zhang Anshi. People are different, and Zhang Anshi has confidence.

  Look, after hearing this, Zhu Di's expression softened a lot.

  Zhang Anshi said again: "There are still some things, Your Majesty. In the past few days, my minister... and this Ma Yu have contributed to some things."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi, couldn't help revealing a trace of curiosity, and said, "What's the matter?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Ma Yu's shipping industry, in order to raise funds, asked Qixia Commercial Bank to inject some funds into his shipping company and purchased some of the shipping company's shares."

  As soon as Zhu Di heard it, he immediately understood.

  The Ma's Shipping Company originally had a share in Qixia Commercial Company, and Zhu Di also took a share in Qixia Commercial Company. In conclusion, this is their own business!

   Now, Zhu Di knew it in his heart.

Immediately, Zhu Di yelled at Yishi: "Your mother, I will be a snake shadow all day long, and I will not do serious things. I will arrest innocent loyal people to investigate and do some serious things. If not, what do I want Dongchang?" use?"

  Yi Shiha: "..."

   This also caused Hutton to show a look of grievance, and hastily knelt down to plead guilty: "I will die, my servant... From now on, I will never dare... dare not..."

  Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Speaking of it, it is rare to lose Eunuch Ha's dedication. Your Majesty, actually, there is nothing wrong with checking it out. The most fearful thing is that the people below will not do their best."

   Dedication is a matter of attitude, and checking mistakes is a matter of ability.

  Yi Shiha's attitude is still very upright, these words made Zhu Di's anger disappear all of a sudden.

  Zhu Di immediately said: "That's right, the factory guard is just chasing after the wind, get up."

  Yi Shiha stood up resentfully, feeling sore in his heart, he felt that everything was not going his way this year, as if everything he did would go wrong.

  Could it be... is this Dongchang restraining himself?

   "My servant thanked Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di only nodded.

   Not long after, Yang Rong and others came to see him together. Yang Rong first reported some things about the ministries.

  Zhu Di listened patiently, but as he listened, he frowned slightly, and said suddenly: "Yang Qing, why do you have a sour smell?"

  Yang Rong and the others were stunned, speechless.

  Hu Guang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, walking here, it is not easy to take a bath... Wait... Wait..."

  Zhu Di showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and then sighed: "It's hard for you. When the amount of money and food is roughly out of the results, I will drive back to the palace, and Zhu Qing will persist for a few more days."

  Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty has favored you, and it is a little difficult, but it is not worth mentioning."

  Zhu Di hummed, as if thinking of something, but he said with a heavy heart: "Where did the emperor's grandson go today?"

   "I heard that I went to the countryside to inquire about water conservancy."

  Zhu Di said: "Water conservancy is a big deal. I heard that when he was in Taiping Mansion, he was responsible for water conservancy?"

   Zhang Anshi on the side immediately said: "I used to be in charge of Dangtu County."

Zhu Di nodded, and continued: "Young people should practice a little more. That's how I was trained at the beginning. Of course...in the past, it was enough to know how to farm and how to master soldiers and horses. But now, it's very different. Zhan Ji still has a lot to learn."

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too. But experience is one thing, the important thing is that the emperor's grandson can be honest. In the capital, there are many honorable ministers who want them to sharpen their skills, but Their minds are focused on flying eagles to tease dogs, but it is difficult to become a master."

  Zhu Di laughed when he heard the words, and said proudly: "Yes, it still depends on his will."

   Just as he was talking, a **** came in happily from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the grandson of the emperor has returned."

   "Call here." Zhu Di was overjoyed, and his whole body seemed to have infinite energy all of a sudden.

   Not long after, Zhu Zhanji came back with a bit of exhaustion, and saluted Zhu Di: "Sun Chen has seen Grandpa Huang."

  Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with burning eyes, and said affectionately: "I was talking about you just now, how is it, it was very hard."

"It's not hard at all." Zhu Zhanji said: "The grandson has cars and horses when he goes in and out. When he is tired, someone will prepare a place for the grandson to rest at any time. When he is hungry, someone will offer wine and food. Compared with the common people, I don't know how much easier it is." What a hard work to talk about. Today Sun Chen saw the farmers planting seeds, and they all went out in the dark early in the morning. The whole family worked in the fields and didn't go home at noon, but they all ate a few steamed cakes brought early in the morning. I hadn't eaten enough, and it's still raining today, and the shelter from the wind and rain is nothing more than a bamboo hat, and the clothes on my body are wet, and there's no time to change them.”

   Zhu Di listened with awe.

  Yang Rong and the others nodded secretly, and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Anshi.

  Thinking in his heart, a person like Zhang Anshi actually taught a grandson like the emperor's grandson, it's really... really unreasonable.

  Of course, Yang Rong didn't have any prejudice against Zhang Anshi's ability, nor did he speculate on Zhang Anshi's moral issues. It's just that Zhang Anshi's delicious and lazy food was seen by everyone.

But Zhu Zhanji said again: "There are many young men like Sun Chen, but they are much thinner than Sun Chenhei, but they are also busy in the fields with their father and brother, and they dare not slack off in the slightest. The sundries in it were cut, and I didn't even notice it.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanji showed emotion, and then said: "Sun Chen has seen countless such scenes. This is Hezhou, and the people have already divided the land. If it is other state capitals, it will be even more difficult." It's unimaginable, it shows how difficult the people's livelihood is, it's hard for ordinary people to imagine if they don't see it with their own eyes.”

  Zhu Di couldn't help but said with emotion: "If Emperor Taizu Gao knew that there was such a descendant, he would be overjoyed."

Zhu Zhanji said again: "Besides, Hezhou has probably already counted the amount of money and food for this year. Of course, this is just the conversion of Hezhou and the state. The summer tax has not been collected, and it is just a rough estimate. "

  Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he quickly came out of the emotion, and immediately cheered up: "Really, so fast?"

I have something to do today, so I set the alarm clock and got up at 3:00 in the morning to type. The tiger felt that he was working hard. Well, let's continue to ask for a monthly ticket. Well, dear students, please vote to make the busy little tiger happy. Bar!
