Zhu Bai smiled: "Fifth brother doesn't like to think about these things, otherwise he would definitely be better than me."
Zhu Rui can memorize hundreds of kinds of herbs and countless complicated and cumbersome prescriptions.
It shows that his IQ is definitely fine.
It's just that the focus is different from others.
Zhu Rui was silent for a while and then said: "You and fourth brother are probably the only ones in the world who would say that."
------
Back at the palace, Zhu Bai asked Zhu Ji to recruit someone again.
Before ordering people, close all the courtyard doors to prevent people from entering or exiting.
This time, it is required that all the incense sticks be delivered within a time limit.
After burning incense, forty or fifty people came.
Zhu Ru sighed: "Oh my, there are so many people in my palace."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Hey, you've been in Hangzhou for so long, and you still haven't figured out how many people live in your house.
Zhu Ji asked the housekeeper: "Are everyone here?"
The butler said: "We're all here."
Zhu Bai raised his chin to his guard.
Then Zhu Bai's guards blocked all entrances to the courtyard.
Some people arrived late, and when they saw this, they turned around and tried to run away, but were held down by the guards and knelt beside the wall.
Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai nodded slightly.
Zhu Ju's voice trembled: "Hit with ten sticks per person."
Then the guards began to beat him one-five-ten.
The person who was beaten screamed miserably: "Your Highness, please spare me. I will never dare to do it again."
"This slave realizes his mistake."
The people who had arrived were all trembling with fear.
The ten sticks were beaten in a short time, and then those people were dragged over and placed in the yard.
Others didn't dare to express their anger and kept their heads down.
Zhu Ji asked the steward: "Where is the roster?"
The housekeeper never thought that Zhu Ru would ask him about the roster. He panicked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and said, "I have never drawn up a roster."
No matter how stupid Zhu Rui was, he still noticed the problem. He frowned and asked, "How do you pay wages without a roster?"
The butler was speechless.
Zhu Bai secretly sneered: Tsk tsk, how many empty wages have been eaten, and the roster is not dared to be taken out.
Zhu Xi asked: "I ask again, are everyone here?"
The butler began to wipe his sweat: "No."
Zhu Ru: "Where is that person?"
Butler: "Maybe I didn't hear the news in the backyard."
Zhu Rui said to his guards: "Go and see if anyone is elsewhere."
When the guard saw that Zhu Zhudong was serious today, he didn't dare to be lazy and went to work.
After a while, four or five were arrested.
Zhu Rui was also very angry at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Beat me and drive me out after the beating. These slaves are really too much."
After the "bang bang bang" fight was over, the door was opened, the person was thrown out, and the door was closed again.
Zhu Ru asked the housekeeper again: "Are everyone here?"
The butler's feet went weak and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said tremblingly: "This slave deserves to die."
Zhu Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang chose this butler from among the eunuchs around him and pointed him out to him.
I didn't expect that he would even bully me.
Zhu Rui said: "You were pointed out to me by my father. It's not easy for me to deal with you. You can go back and find my father to restore your life."
The housekeeper was so frightened that he peed.
Lao Zhu hated corruption the most. He went back to find Lao Zhu, but Lao Zhu would not let him live and would make his death very painful.
He rushed forward and hugged Zhu Zhu's legs: "Your Highness, please spare your life. I don't dare to do it anymore."
Zhu Bai sighed: "Do you think you can still hide it?"
The last time a thief broke into the house, Lao Zhu was very angry and did not take action to deal with it because this was Zhu Xi's palace and he still wanted Zhu Xi to handle it himself.
The housekeeper dares to take free money, he is going to die.
The housekeeper let go of Zhu Ru and collapsed on the ground.
Zhu Zhu said: "Come here, send him to answer the sky. This king's temple is too small to keep him."
The steward handed over the key and seal and was escorted out.
Zhu Ru turned his eyes and looked at the dozens of people standing in the yard: it would be troublesome to drive the housekeeper away. Who will take care of these dozens of people?
Zhu Bai smiled and raised his chin to a palace maid in the courtyard: "I think Fifth Brother can try to let this housekeeper."
When he came in, the palace maid was the only one serving tea, and she was always waiting by her side.
The palace maid was the first to arrive when I ordered someone twice.
Just now, Zhu Rui was about to go out, and it was she who brought her cloak and belongings and warned the boy carefully.
Zhu Bai didn't know whether she had the ability, but she was definitely very interested in Zhu Rui.
This is enough.
Zhu Ru looked up.
This is one of the four maids given to him by Queen Ma, with the surname Yang.
Normally he didn't pay attention, but now when Zhu Bai reminded him, he remembered that this palace maid was usually serving him.
Zhu Zhu nodded: "Okay, from today on, you will be the housekeeper."
Palace Maid Yang quickly knelt down and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to control you well."
Zhu Rui sighed: "No matter how bad the management is, can it still be worse than the one just now?"
Palace Maid Yang could only accept the key and seal, stood up and stood aside.
Zhu Bai raised his chin to her: "You can start now."
Palace Maid Yang stepped forward and said to the people below: "After the day is over, the stewards of each room will come to me to register and explain everyone's responsibilities. From today on, at Mao hour, people will be assigned the day's work, and at night The shift will be handed over to those who are on duty. In the middle of the day, people will be called again. Each manager will report to me about the day's work. Only after handing over the shift, will those who were on duty during the day be allowed to rest. If there is someone who is disheveled, lazy and shirks, or who is late and leaves early, he will follow today's ten sticks. Come and fight."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: Hey, it’s not bad. It kind of means that.
Zhu Bai waited for her to finish speaking, then walked to the center with his hands behind his back.
His reputation was so great that he didn't need to do anything or say anything to scare the people below him.
Not to mention, I spanked a few people just now.
Everyone lowered their heads, fearing that Zhu Bai would notice them.
Zhu Bai said calmly: "My fifth brother has a kind heart and treats you all as family members. He is reluctant to scold you, let alone beat you. Unexpectedly, some people have the misunderstanding that he is easy to bully. . Don’t forget, he is the mighty King of Wu, who you people can bully and neglect? From today on, I will ask people from the Guanya Bureau to come and inquire regularly. If my fifth brother says that anyone dares to be lazy again, If you do any small tricks, it won’t be ten battles.”
Zhu Bai slowly took out the gold medal that said "I am here in person".
Everyone, including Zhu Rui, immediately knelt down.
Zhu Bai continued: "That means beating him to death directly."
The servants all fell to the ground: "I understand."
Zhu Bai asked again: "Where is the leader of the palace guards?"
Then a man climbed up and kowtowed: "The little one is here."
Zhu Bai said: "I want to ask you a question, if my fifth brother makes a mistake, how do you want to die?"
The man kowtowed desperately: "I was a stupid person in the past, but I won't dare to relax even a little bit in the future."
Zhu Bai nodded: "Okay. I'll give you another chance."
He put away the gold medal and said: "Everyone, get up and prepare dinner. I am hungry."
Then Yang got busy and ordered people to prepare dinner.
