Zhu Bai also asked the local government bureaus to pay close attention to the payment situation of Guanyinzhuang, and report it immediately if there was any delay in payment or even no money to pay.
Because there must be something fishy in it.
There is a steady stream of information coming in from all over the place.
All those who came to withdraw money were paid successfully.
Zhu Bai was surprised: so many official banks are all fine? It's amazing!
In other words, if there were any problems, they were fixed in time.
interesting……
Although Zhu Bai didn't panic, he still couldn't help but go to Guanyin Village for a patrol.
Different from the hustle and bustle in the past, today there are only a few people in front of Guanyinzhuang.
There was only one person standing there arguing with the manager of Guanyinzhuang: "I just want to save money to come in."
Shopkeeper: "Your Highness. King Xiang said that he will not accept deposits for the time being until he notifies you."
Is there something wrong with this prince’s mind? Everyone is taking money, and he wants to deposit it.
The key is not much, just two hundred taels...
Zhu Ju: "I insist on saving it. After saving it, I will come and watch you every day."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stepped forward and said, "Ah, fifth brother."
Zhu Zhu turned around: "Huh? You're back."
Zhu Bai: "Come on, let's go upstairs to drink tea."
Zhu Bai pulled Zhu Zhu, and then winked at Fugui.
Fugui and the others hurriedly took Zhu Ju's silver off the counter, went in and put it on Zhu Bai's desk, then went down to rest with Zhu Ju's entourage.
Zhu Bai asked someone to bring tea and snacks to Zhu Xi, and said, "How come fifth brother suddenly wants to come to Guanyin Village to deposit money?"
Zhu Rui: "I heard that there is something wrong with your Guanyin Village. I don't know how to help you. This is the only way."
Zhu Bai was stunned and moved: "Don't worry, there is no problem. Just take the money back."
Zhu Rui: "It's okay. It's useless for me to hold it. Just leave it here with you. I don't have much money to give you."
Zhu Bai sighed softly: "Okay, then leave it with me and I will pay you the long-term interest."
He called Fugui and took it down, stored it in the bank, and asked Zhu Zhu: "How are you doing recently?"
Zhu Ru felt aggrieved: "You have been back for ten days, why don't you come to see me?"
Zhu Bai sighed: "Sorry, I'm too busy."
In fact, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to go around Zhu Xi's mansion. Anyway, it's just a place to go shopping every day.
Besides, he is still underage and does not have so many taboos.
He didn't go to Zhu's house because the women in Zhu's house were jealous and quarreled every day.
The housekeeper bullied Zhu Ru, so he could help Zhu Ru stand out.
Fights and quarrels between wives and concubines are private matters, and he really can't control them, so he can only stay away from them.
I heard that none of Zhu Tie's four or five wives and concubines were weak, probably because Zhu Tie could not stand up for justice, and everyone had to rely on themselves and were unwilling to be suppressed by others, so they were all forced to become shrews.
Besides, there were two pregnant women among them, so it seemed wrong to help anyone.
Zhu Ru sighed softly: "I know, I don't want to go back either."
Zhu Bai was silent. Not to mention Zhu Ru's doughy temper, even he had a headache after hearing this.
Zhu Ju: "Don't take so many concubines in the future."
Zhu Bai continued to be silent.
Zhu Rui: "What kind of work do you have to do here? You can just settle accounts and run errands. I'm really bored."
Zhu Bai: "Don't you grow a lot of herbs? How could you be bored?"
Zhu Ru: "I pulled them all out."
Zhu Bai: "Huh? Why..."
Zhu Rui: "It's a medicine that contains three parts of poison. I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, someone will use it for other purposes..."
Damn it! This group of women not only fought and quarreled, but also poisoned each other!
Zhu Bai understood instantly, with a look of astonishment on his face, and didn't know what to say.
Thinking about how helpless and sad Zhu Ru felt when he personally pulled out all the herbs he had worked so hard to plant.
It's just that he's not good at expressing himself and won't show it on his face.
Zhu Rui said stubbornly: "So, do you have any work here? I don't want you to pay me, just give me something to do."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Ah, you are a prince after all, I can't let you entertain guests in the official office, sweep the floor and serve tea.
Otherwise, Lao Zhu will have to kill me.
He thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, there is a nursery in the backyard of Guanya Bureau, which is quite big. You can plant something here."
The image of Nannan flashed through his mind for some unknown reason.
Added another sentence: "It is best to plant plants and trees that are not poisonous and can be used as food."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhu's eyes were dull and motionless.
Zhu Bai thought he had accidentally hit him again, so he cautiously called out: "Fifth brother. What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Zhu blinked: "Ah, great. Twelve brothers. I know what to do. Previously, there were floods in Hangzhou, and the sowing of crops was damaged, leaving the people with no food to eat. In fact, besides the things we grow, there are many more You can eat the fruits of plants and trees or the bark of leaves, roots and stems. I already know a lot, and there must be many I don’t know. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, and I tasted a hundred grains.”
He said so much in one breath, which surprised Zhu Bai.
Then without waiting for Zhu Bai to answer, he left like a gust of wind.
Then Zhu Bai heard Zhu Zhu's voice downstairs saying: "Let's go."
Zhu Ju's entourage asked: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Zhu Ru: "Go find some seeds and seedlings."
Then in the afternoon, Zhu Ju led people to plant the flowerbed in Zhu Bai's backyard full of plants.
The flowers are green, red, purple, and all sorts of strange things.
Zhu Bai sighed: We don’t know him either, and we don’t dare to ask.
Zhu Zhu excitedly pulled Zhu Bai who was passing by and said: "Twelve brothers, come here, come here, this is chervil, this is purple cloud greens, all of them are edible. And these should also be edible, but I don’t know the taste, I’ll have to plant it and try it before I know. I plan to draw the flowers, leaves, stems, fruits and roots of these plants in detail, and then note the taste, edible parts, medicinal properties, etc. next to them. Just like "Compendium of Materia Medica", ah, by the way, my book will be called "Compendium of Materia Medica for Famine Relief". If there is a famine in the future, the common people will be able to find food by themselves with this book, without having to wait for the court. relief food.”
Zhu Bai nodded: "Very good, very good."
In fact, when there is a famine, everything that is poisonous or not will be eaten by the people.
Besides, many people don't know how to read at all.
Moreover, it is autumn, and most of the plants planted will not survive.
It's just that he didn't want to hit Zhu Ru.
Let him be, as long as he is happy.
-----
Lao Zhu finally settled on three questions, but he didn’t tell anyone what they were.
He re-copied the test questions with his own hands, put them into a small brass tube, sealed it with a seal and locked it in the cabinet where the jade seal was kept.
On the day of the rural examination, he would take it out with his own hands and give it to the eunuch who delivered the order. The eunuch then rode on horseback to the Yingtian Mansion Office where the rural examination was held, and Chen Nanbin opened it under the witness of the two deputy examiners.
Dozens of people then spend an hour transcribing hundreds of copies, and no one is allowed in or out during the transcribing process.
As soon as the candidates enter the examination room, they immediately hand out the examination questions.
Only the copying staff can leave.
