In fact, this is also the true words of the thirteen Chief Secretaries.
Zhu Bai is the God of Wealth. If you can coax him to come down and wander around, maybe he will come up with some new ways to make money for them when he is happy?
The result was counterproductive, and Lao Zhu became even more hesitant: What on earth were these cunning guys planning? You tricked us into putting our little son down so that he could catch him and threaten us, right? Or do you want to make our youngest sons happy and promote them for personal gain?
Zhu Bai sighed: There is no one like Lao Zhu with such a suspicious temper.
Then before the end of the year holiday, the chief envoy of Guangdong made a strange announcement, saying that official schools could not be opened.
It’s not that there’s no money, space, or teachers, it’s that there are no students.
Since the opening of Guangzhou Port, everyone has been busy doing business overseas to make money, and no one wants to be an official.
Besides, there are many rich people, and every family has a private school, and they don’t study any collection of scriptures. They all study foreign languages...
When Lao Zhu heard this, he became anxious: "If things go on like this, the Chief Secretary of Guangdong will break away from the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty and become a foreign country. This won't work."
Zhu Biao: "Father, the Holy Ming, must send a harmonious and kind person to turn this unhealthy trend around."
Zhu Bai: "I, I, I, Father, look at me."
Zhu Biao: "Let Zeng Bingzheng go."
Lao Zhu: "Zeng Bingzheng has more than enough integrity, but not enough tact. He has a bad mind and cannot deal with those profiteers."
Zhu Biao: "Where's Mr. Liu?"
Lao Zhu: "It's true that he can quarrel with others. It will only make them go their own way."
Zhu Biao: "Then Mr. Li Shanchang."
Lao Zhu: "Haha, he can turn all the business in Guangzhou Port into his."
Zhu Biao: "Wu Bozong."
Lao Zhu: "He's not sharp enough. He's too superficial."
Zhu Biao: "Hu Weiyong."
Lao Zhu: "We still need to investigate him. In fact, there is no difference between him going and Li Shanchang going."
It’s the same for everyone in Huaixi Group.
The two father and son let out a long sigh, then each frowned and thought about it.
Zhu Bai coughed dryly: "By the way, I am going to inspect the Guangdong First-level Official Dental Bureau..."
Lao Zhu: “We’ll talk about it when you’re older.”
Zhu Biao: "If my father is really worried about my twelfth brother going, just ask my son to accompany him."
Lao Zhu frowned: "That's even worse."
It was because he was worried about safety that he refused to let Zhu Bai go, and now he caught up with Zhu Biao.
Doesn’t that put all your eggs in one basket?
Zhu Bai also said: "No."
He remembered that Zhu Biao fell ill and died during a certain inspection. He must pin Zhu Biao to Yingtian to prevent him from running around.
Zhu Biao: "Father, I have not traveled all over the Ming Dynasty. If I don't go out for a walk while I'm young, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future."
Lao Zhu thought about it, and it was the same.
Zhu Biao is already in his twenties.
In the previous wars, we didn't dare to let him go, so we basically kept him in one place.
Later, after he decided to study in Yingtian, he had a lot to learn, so apart from Yingtian, he only went to Fengyang.
The same goes for Zhu Bai.
Let these two brothers go for a walk and see the customs, people, mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can have confidence in governing the country in the future.
Lao Zhu said: "Well, okay. It's spring, you two brothers go together, and we can discuss things when they happen."
Zhu Biao is more than stable, but lacks quick wit and hesitates in doing things.
Zhu Bai is just the opposite. His mind works quickly, but he is not stable enough.
The two of them together just complement each other.
Zhu Bai frowned and sighed: "Oh."
With Zhu Biao following him, many things were inconvenient for him. Not to mention ensuring Zhu Biao's safety would distract him a lot of time and energy.
Lao Zhu Ni looked at him sideways: "Why, are you unhappy with your elder brother controlling you?"
Zhu Bai looked reluctant: "What else can I do? I can only take care of my eldest brother."
Being able to go is better than not being able to get out.
Besides, this time the road is cleared, maybe when he gets older, Lao Zhu will allow him to go on his own.
Lao Zhu laughed angrily at Zhu Bai's words: "Hey, I still want you to take care of your elder brother. You are a traitor. You really don't understand our painstaking efforts."

Queen Ma began to nervously prepare what Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai would take when they went out.
Zhu Biao couldn't bear to see Empress Ma being busy every day these days, and comforted Empress Ma: "Mother, don't be so nervous. There are government offices to receive us wherever we go, and there are dental clinics at all levels. There will be no shortage of anything." "
Empress Ma said: "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out for a while. You have to go to more than a dozen places from south to north, from spring to autumn, and it will be troublesome to go east and west without taking them with you. Besides, Twelve is much younger than you, so most of them are If you take care of him, he can't take care of you. You have to prepare everything."
Zhu Biao caught a glimpse of a few white hairs on Queen Ma's temples. He couldn't believe his eyes and stared at the white hairs several times.
Queen Ma touched her temples unnaturally: "When you reach this age, your hair will grow gray. Don't be sad, Biao'er."
In fact, Queen Ma is only in her forties. She must have suffered too much and worked too hard these years.
Zhu Biao felt as if there was cotton stuck in his throat and whispered: "Don't worry, mother, the child will be careful and take care of himself. I am already in my twenties."
Queen Ma smiled: "Oh, mothers are like this. This is the first time you have been away from me for so long. You must come back soon."

Concubine Hu Shun also prepared a lot of things for Zhu Bai and sent things to Zhu Bai's palace all day long.
That’s all for Concubine Hu Shun. Zhu Ju also added to it. There are dolls, candies and so on.
In addition to Zhu Bai's own purchases, the pile was as high as a hill.
Zhu Bai looked at the pile of things and smacked his lips: "Tsk, tsk, tsk. This pile of things needs a special carriage to pull it all."
Zhu Ju pulled Zhu Bai's sleeves and raised his head: "Brother, why don't you take me with you?"
Zhu Bai took out his sleeve from her hand with a look of disgust: "Dream on you. If I take you there, I won't be able to do anything else."
Zhu Ju: "Then leave Brother Monkey to me."
Zhu Bai: "No. That's mine."
Zhu Ju pouted and pulled Zhu Bai with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Bai: "Stop, stop, stop, I'll buy you a cat, okay."
This year's New Year's Eve reunion dinner, four princes were outside, and Lao Zhu suddenly felt a lot more deserted.
As if unintentionally, he said: "The second child has settled down there. It's just that the weather is very dry and cold, but everything else is fine. The third child said that he can't get used to the food there, so I'll send our most trusted chef over there." This child has been more squeamish since he was a child. The fourth child is the quickest to adapt. After all, it is my father-in-law’s territory, so he can get whatever he wants. The fifth child has already repaired the Song Palace and moved in. "
After he finished speaking, he realized that no one here wanted to know about Zhu Di and Zhu Xi. Only he and Zhu Bai care.
Zhu Bai didn't need to know from him either. This guy is better informed than he is.
After Lao Zhu and Queen Ma left, Zhu Ju and Zhu Bai walked to Concubine Hu Shun.
