"I heard that the second and third princes have been banned and their expenses have been reduced."
"No way! What about Ezhou New City?"
"If we return to Xincheng, it will already be in ruins."
"real or fake?"
"You don't know? Those businessmen have already complained to the Yamen, but unfortunately they were suppressed. I heard that many of them lost all their wealth in Xincheng. Now they are all finished."
"Not only that, many officials and relatives of the emperor also voted, and all lost their money."
"This is impossible! With so many people voting, and Ezhou New City is huge, it's impossible for the court to turn a blind eye, right?"
"The imperial court would like to ask, but who can take over? I heard that the matter has been discussed in the morning in the past two days. No one in the court dared to take over."
"I wouldn't accept it if it were me. You don't know that Ezhou New Town has long been smelly. The people of Ezhou hate it so much that they wish they could burn it down."
"Why is this happening?"
"Why else? It's not a good deed done by the second and third princes. They secretly withheld the people's compensation money. In order to save wages, they asked the government to arrest corvees and exploit merchants. It sounds like some people died..."
"Shh!"
"..."
In the past two days, as Zhu Kun and Zhu Tai were punished, relevant news spread like crazy.
I don't know how many dignitaries were trapped this time. Two princes were fined, but the money was not recovered. How could these people be willing to do so? All kinds of news were flying all over the sky.
Everyone knows what the two princes did in Ezhou.
It was even amplified.
In a word, all the dirty water is poured on the two of them, and all the responsibilities belong to the two. Only in this way, other people will appear more innocent, and the court cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Of course, this is not an injustice.
that's the truth.
Many businessmen flocked to the Yamen and asked the two princes to buy back the contract. After all, they signed a guaranteed contract, which was reasonable.
"I've known for a long time that they were unreliable, but I didn't expect them to be so unreliable."
"Who says it isn't?"
"What should we do with this mess now? I'm afraid only the Fourth Highness can take over, right?"
"Don't push His Highness into the fire pit. Why should the mess they made here be given to His Highness? Besides, His Highness is busy with education reform."
"Yes, but I heard that many people are looking for His Royal Highness, as well as many relatives of the emperor."
"..."
Naturally, the talented man also heard a bit about what happened in the past two days.
But I didn’t take it seriously at all.
Finally, the textbooks for the fifth year of middle school are almost finished, and he can relax for a while, so he won't care about such nonsense.
What's more, this mess is good for him and drives the merchants to the southwest, which is what he wants.
so……
"It's noisy outside, what's going on?"
Lin Bai was making his final sprint at Hope Elementary School when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
At this time, an attendant suddenly ran in, "Your Highness, there are many businessmen outside, as well as many members of the royal family, saying they want to find you."
What do you mean?
Didn’t Lao Zhu already intervene? Why are you here to see me?
Lin Bai was confused and had no choice but to go and take a look.
Outside the school gate, there were people crowding around. Since the education reform, this place was not only a school, but also an education reform office. Officers and soldiers were watching, and all these people were blocked outside the door.
"Your Highness is here..."
Seeing Lin Bai coming forward, many voices came from the crowd.
Lin Bai took a casual glance and saw that there were quite a few people there. The leaders were all members of the royal family and some nobles' children. These people stood in a pile, and the other group were businessmen.
"This is school, what are you making all the noise about?"
Lin Bai was not polite and scolded him directly.
The crowd suddenly became quite quiet.
The first member of the royal family said: "Your Highness, you can't ignore this matter in Ezhou. All our family members have invested in it, and you have to help us get the money back."
mmp! Brother owes you?
Lin Bai suddenly became unhappy, glanced at the man sideways, and said, "Investment is risky, don't you know?"
"If there is a business where you can make a sure profit without losing any money, tell me and I will invest."
The man was choked and didn't know what to say.
Although these royal family members were marginal figures in the royal family, they were all very domineering in the past, and great talents would naturally not give them face.
In comparison, businessmen are much better.
"Your Highness, we are really desperate. We signed a guaranteed contract, but the Yamen said there is nothing they can do."
"Yes! It's not necessary, and we don't want to trouble His Highness."
"..."
All kinds of complaints.
I just hope that a talented person will come forward and help solve the problem.
Lin Bai curled his lips and could only say: "Everyone! My father already knows about this matter and will naturally give you an explanation. Please wait patiently."
"Yes! As long as there is a way from above, we will not come to ask His Highness."
Come to see me if you have no other choice?
Do you really think of me as a pot-tender?
Lin Bai rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. His character as a considerate businessman could not be broken.
He immediately said: "This prince already knows about this matter. Once I understand the situation first, you can rest assured that the imperial court will definitely give you an explanation."
It's just kicking a ball, who can't!
The talented man is preparing to muddle through.
At this time, several eunuchs suddenly came, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned me!"
Everyone in the crowd looked happy when they heard this, "It must be Ezhou. Your Majesty will let His Royal Highnesses take over Ezhou."
"That's right! As long as His Highness the Fourth takes over Ezhou, we will be saved."
The crowd was jubilant.
Lin Bai was speechless.
have to! After greeting everyone, he left with the eunuch.
You can't really be fooled by these people, can you? Lao Zhu wants to arrange tasks for himself again? This fucking life.
The talented man complained a few words and soon arrived outside the imperial study room.
Before entering, I heard Lao Zhu's angry voice inside.
"It's all a waste of money. No one in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty is useful, especially you. So much money, so much vain money, have all been wasted?"
Then there was the sound of a pile of things being swept to the ground.
Be good!
Is Lao Zhu really mad?
Lin Bai did not dare to neglect and hurriedly entered the imperial study room. He saw Qin Zhengqing and Fan Renli standing respectfully aside, being trained like quails and not daring to express their anger.
There were a bunch of memorials and ledgers scattered on the ground.
Upon noticing Lin Bai's arrival, both of them looked over pitifully.
Lin Bai was delighted. This official was quite pitiful. He immediately stepped forward and said, "My son, I have met my father!"
Zhu Tianzheng was obviously angry. He tried his best to calm down and then said, "Come here. I heard that the royal family's moths and those businessmen have all found their way to the school?"
ha?
Royal borer?
It seems that Lao Zhu is also very dissatisfied with these royal family members!
"went!"
Zhu Tianzheng asked again: "What did you say?"
…
