When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Li Jin mention the big deal, he thought of the dinner on the boat, his expression suddenly dropped, and he asked:
"What big deal?"
Li Jin said with a smile on his face:
"You forgot, it was on the boat that I mentioned the big deal to you!"
"Huafang?"
When Queen Ma heard this, she immediately lost her composure. She turned her eyes to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked:
"You even went to the boat?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the fire in his backyard and explained anxiously:
"It's not what you think."
"We brought the mark because we have something to do."
"What, you're taking your son with you to the boat painting?"
It's okay that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't explain. This explanation immediately made him angry, and he stared with almond-shaped eyes:
"You are so shameless!"
After saying that, Queen Ma waved her hands and turned to leave without paying attention to everyone present.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly chased after her, and explained to Queen Ma anxiously.
Although he didn't hear what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Li Jin felt that it must be asking for mercy.
"I didn't expect your father to be henpecked!"
When Zhu Biao heard this, he was also a little dumbfounded. Didn't he just talk about a big deal?
Why did everyone leave in an instant? But he hasn’t gotten in the car yet! !
"My father is indeed very good to my mother."
Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly and explained to Li Jin:
"I have to say goodbye too. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Li."
After saying that, Zhu Biao planned to leave.
But he was stopped by Li Jin and said mysteriously:
"It doesn't matter if your father is gone. I wonder if you are interested in this big deal?"
Zhu Biao didn't expect that Li Jin actually wanted to cooperate with him to make a big deal!
But seeing how persistent Li Jin was, Zhu Biao couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:
"I wonder what big deal Mr. Li is talking about? Can you tell me something?"
"Hey, the secret must not be revealed."
Li Jin became interested when he saw Zhu Biao, but he deliberately played riddles and kept it secret.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is gone, his son is still there. Since their family are all relatives of the emperor, it is okay to drag Zhu Biao along.
"But if the young master is really interested, then come to my mansion to see me in one month."
"This is a big deal. Don't miss this opportunity before it comes back. Young Master must come when the time comes!"
Seeing how cautious Li Jin said it, Zhu Biao became even more curious. However, if Li Jin didn't say anything, Zhu Biao had no choice but to say:
"If I'm free then, I will come."
Zhu Biao still left, and Queen Ma also knew that he had boarded the boat. At this time, he had better go and explain quickly.
.....
In Yingtian, Li Shan grew up in his home.
Li Shanchang sat on the main seat in the living room, and next to him sat his most popular disciple, Hu Weiyong.
"This time the emperor demoted you to the position of the Ministry of Industry. Do you have any complaints?"
As usual, Li Shanchang tried to test this disciple's thoughts after meeting.
Among so many disciples, the one Li Shanchang valued most was Hu Weiyong.
Being alert, capable and good at guessing people's hearts are the basic qualities that a minister possesses.
If you don't even have this quality, it means that this person's life is coming to an end. Wanting to make further progress is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Fortunately, Li Shanchang discovered that there was such a person among his disciples, and this person was Hu Weiyong.
Not only that, Hu Weiyong also has something that ordinary people don't have, and that is ruthlessness.
Now Li Shanchang just wanted to test Hu Weiyong's vision and whether he could really guess the emperor's holy will.
"This disciple doesn't dare to complain at all. On the contrary, I still feel a little surprised."
Hu Weiyong's answer did not disappoint Li Shanchang, but he still wanted to hear what this proud disciple thought.
With a calm expression on his face, Li Shanchang continued to ask:
"Oh? Why is this?"
"My disciple thought that even though the emperor demoted me to the Ministry of Works, I would be responsible for the construction of the capital city wall."
"Although on the surface it seems to be punishing the disciples, it is not actually the case."
"What I'm afraid of is not being demoted. What I'm afraid of is that the emperor will abandon me and make my talents useless."
"Although the disciple was a fourth-grade official before, he had no actual duties at all. He was just a vegetarian in the corpse position."
"Now that the disciple finally has a real job, although the grade has been reduced, it also shows that the emperor has re-employed the disciple."
"This is great news for the disciples."
Hu Weiyong answered without any hesitation.
He had already thought about this issue in his mind.
After that incident, he, Hu Weiyong, was always hated by the emperor, which led to him being idle as a fourth-rank official.
Let alone promotion, there is no real job, there is no hope at all.
After this punishment, it shows that the emperor has forgiven him for making opinions. As long as he works hard in the future, and with Li Shanchang's support, he will definitely have a bright future.
"Hahaha, I really saw you right."
After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, Li Shanchang finally showed a smile on his face and laughed heartily:
"You think so, I'm very happy."
"As long as you do a good job in this mission assigned to you by your superiors, I believe your day of rapid success will not be far away."
"When I get old, the position under my butt will be considered a successor."
Hu Weiyong was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Shanchang valued him so much, which made him very excited.
He stood up suddenly, saluted Li Shanchang and said:
"Disciples will never let down the teacher's high expectations and strive to follow in the teacher's footsteps."
"That's very good."
Li Shanchang stood up, helped Hu Weiyong up, and then said:
"Do you remember what you told me last time about becoming the magistrate of Hu County?"
Hu Weiyong replied:
"Of course I remember. Didn't the emperor say that we should consider it at the beginning? Could there be any changes?"
Li Shanchang shook his head and said:
"There are no accidents, but Shanghu County is not that simple."
"After the emperor rejected my request last time, I was very surprised by Shanghu County, and immediately sent someone to check it out."
"The results of the inspection surprised me."
When Hu Weiyong heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. Li Shanchang was already the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. How could anything surprise him so much?
Shanghu County must be ten times more complicated than he imagined. Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked:
"I wonder what is it that can surprise even the teacher?"
"Is it possible that there is something strange in Shanghu County?"
Li Shanchang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, sorted out his words, and said:
"If what the servants in my mansion say are true, then Shanghu County will really be a paradise on earth!!"
"Fairyland???"
