When Zhu Bai heard this, his heart skipped a beat: "Why do you say that, but you are not feeling well?"
Lao Zhu: "The ghost of Zhu Liangzu came to see us last night."
Zhu Bai: "If my father dreams about Zhu Liangzu, he can ask Master Zongli to recite sutras to save him."
Lao Zhu shook his head: "No, we are not afraid of anyone no matter what we dream about. When we came back from the imperial study, we heard him calling us and then saw him standing in the corner."
Auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations...
Zhu Bai smiled and said, "Father, don't be afraid. I am full of yang energy. I will stay with you for a few nights and see who dares to scare my father."
Lao Zhu sighed: "This doesn't solve the problem. You will always go to the feudal land."
Zhu Bai: "What do you think, Father?"
Zhu Biao said: "My father wanted to build a mausoleum to bury these heroes and my mother in it to comfort their spirits in heaven."
Zhu Bai sneered secretly: Wait for me here. It turned out that I was asked to pay for it.
Lao Zhu: "Even if we live two hundred years, we will die one day. While my body is still strong, I will build our tomb. When I go, you brothers will not have to worry about it. You don't have to come back then."
Zhu Bai felt a little sad in his heart: It felt so uncomfortable to listen to his parents talking about his death.
In the past, elderly people in rural areas would buy coffins for themselves early.
Even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity.
Zhu Bai said: "Father, if you want to repair it, just go ahead. My son and I will give you my full support."
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally I was afraid that Zhu Bai would push back and resist, but in the end he agreed so happily.
Lao Zhu was happy but a little embarrassed, so he asked Zhu Bai: "It costs one million taels of silver."
Zhu Bai said: "The profit handed over by Guanya Bureau this year is probably this amount. Just pretend that Guanya Bureau has not made any money for a year. It's okay, as long as the father is happy."
Zhu Biao pursed his lips secretly: I originally wanted to use up Zhu Bai's money. There is no need for him to take him to the vassal territory to recruit troops. As a result, Zhu Bai resolved the issue with just one sentence.
Zhu Bai added: "The temple tower is too close to the palace. It is better to rebuild the temple and combine the temple tower and small temples such as Jiangshan Temple, Dinglin Temple, Zhuyuan Temple, Zhigong Pagoda, Songxi Temple, Wuzhen Temple, etc. on the selected site. Move them all to a new temple and merge them into one big temple, which will be easier to manage. I estimate that one million may not be enough, and I will pay for the rest."
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay, okay."
He was worried and said, "What are your conditions?"
This guy has always been a hawk when it comes to rabbits, so how could he be given so much money for nothing?
Zhu Bai said: "I only want one thing. Please give me this new temple. No one can ask how I will deal with it in the future."
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Lao Zhu ordered the construction of the imperial mausoleum. Because Zhu Bai paid filial piety to him, it was named Xiaoling.
Recruit skilled craftsmen and labor from all over the world, and all wages will be settled on a daily basis.
This project is huge. If it were done in the past, many politicians would come out to oppose such a waste of money and people.
But this time, everyone knew Zhu Biao's intention, so everything was quiet and no one said a word.
They said: "Your Majesty, the early construction of the imperial mausoleum is a sage move to stabilize the Ming Dynasty."
"The emperor's kindness was so great that he paid daily wages and recruited the people to build the tombs. This is really the reincarnation of Yao and Shun."
It has been fourteen years since Lao Zhu ascended the throne.
This was the first time that an official said that "Yao and Shun were alive" instead of jumping up and scolding him as "comparable to Jie and Zhou".
He was so happy in his heart: Damn, it’s great to have money.
It is better if the son has money.
It doesn’t hurt to spend it.
The key point is that if you have money, who wants to owe others and be scolded?
According to the previous agreement, Lao Zhu gave Zhu Bai a full 500 acres of land to build a new temple in the mountains two miles away from the imperial mausoleum, and another 500 acres for Zhu Bai to farm and support the monks.
Zhu Biao felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
With this thousand acres, Zhu Bai can build a small country of his own.
Just on the edge of Yingtian.
Retreat to defend, advance to attack.
The imperial mausoleum has not yet been repaired, Zhu Bai's temple must be repaired first.
On the day of completion, he personally wrote three words "Linggu Temple" and hung them on the grand and bright door.
Lao Zhu also felt like he shot himself in the foot.
Not only does this name have a profound meaning, but it is also acceptable.
It's just that the handwriting written by this traitor is so ugly. It's so embarrassing for us.
At that critical moment, we promised him not to ask questions.
In other words, we have to look at a few ugly words for the rest of our lives.
Our descendants will always look at it and laugh at us for not raising our sons well.
Lao Zhu kept saying: "Bring me a pen, bring me a pen."
He took another piece of paper, dipped it in ink, and wrote "The First Zen Forest" with one stroke of his pen.
He called Erhu: "Come on, come on, the treasury will provide money to build a mountain gate and put these four characters on it."
It also helps people know that our handwriting is not so ugly, it is just that this traitor is too unsatisfactory.
------
There was a bloody storm in the sky, but the weather was sunny and sunny in Kaifeng, and the years were quiet and peaceful.
The training Zhu Bai gave him was very effective. He was basically able to preside over government affairs, and Feng Qingqing took care of the house, so everything was in order.
Moreover, he was kind and gentle, often treating poor people and giving them medicine, and was deeply loved by the people.
Lao Zhu felt relieved after receiving this news.
Although Zhu Bai and Zhu Di could not see Zhu Ju, they were very happy: they could finally take care of themselves.
There was only one person who was unhappy, and that was Feng Qingqing.
Zhu Ji often used the palace's money to buy medicine for the people, but he didn't know how to manage it, so the palace couldn't make ends meet.
The Feng family always used their own money to subsidize, but they couldn't afford the same expenses as Zhu Ji's money-spreading boy.
That day, Feng Qingqing specially waited in the front hall for Zhu Zhu to come back from seeing a doctor for free.
Zhu Ji also knew that the palace was now running normally thanks to Feng Qingqing, so he no longer avoided him as he did in the past.
Feng Qingqing smiled softly: "Your Majesty, you must be tired. I am waiting for Your Majesty to come back for dinner."
Zhu Ru felt a little guilty: "Actually, you don't have to wait for me."
Feng Qingqing: "The prince always eats alone, and I feel distressed when I see him."
Zhu Tong was softened by her tenderness, and he sat down at the table obediently with her. When he looked at the dishes on the table, he frowned: "Is this what you usually eat?"
They are all vegetarian, and the soup is watery.
Feng Qingqing sighed: "The family can't make ends meet now, so we can only save a little."
Zhu Rui was stunned. He had never thought about this problem. He felt very guilty and said, "I still have some money in Guanyin Village. Go and take it out."
Feng Qingqing: "This little money is not enough even if I don't think of a way to open up money."
Zhu Ru: "What about that?"
Feng Qingqing: "I heard people say that Second Brother, Fourth Brother and the others are able to raise so many soldiers because they run the Guanya Bureau."
Zhu Zhu shook his head: "I'm not that material, otherwise my twelfth brother would not give it to me. Besides, my three brothers are all raising soldiers and guarding the border, so they need the support of the Guanya Bureau. I just support you, and I also need to occupy the Guanya Bureau. ,not good."
Feng Qingqing: "I know that it is impossible to ask the prince to run the Guanya Bureau. Can the King of Xiang let my family run the Kaifeng Guanya Bureau?"
Even if it means being a tooth grower.
