90% of people are satisfied with your actions

The 10% that were dissatisfied were basically eliminated.

After listening to Zhu Ju's work report, Xu Da, who was drinking soup, almost sprayed the soup on Li Wenzhong's face.

After Zhu Biao heard what Zhu Zhu said, he couldn't help but kick Chu Ze under the table.

Originally, although his fifth brother could not be said to be gentle, his heart was definitely not bad.

But now after being made the lord of Hengyang City by Chu Ze.

Now when he speaks, he is full of arrogant words.

But the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen on the side didn't think there was anything wrong.

Instead, he gave Zhu Ru a kind and gentle smile.

"Hey, the prince may not know something about our plans. The future development direction of Hengyang City is different from our Ming Dynasty. So there are some things that need to be cleaned up."

"I asked Zhu Ru to do this just to show off. If he doesn't comply, he will have no choice but to disappear."

"And we are opening up an experimental site, and we don't have so much time to influence and educate those who disobey."

"I do experiments, as long as the results are obtained"

Regarding Zhu Biao's somewhat accusatory look, Chu Ze just smiled and stopped caring about him.

Turning his head, he looked at Zhu Ru again and said.

"In Hengyang City, we should first build the three main components of the hospital, school, and industrial zone. If that doesn't work, let's recruit people through recruitment."

"Anyone who has made outstanding achievements in the fields of science, medicine or agriculture can be recruited, and not only can they be recruited, but they should also be given adequate benefits!"

"If the local fertilizer experiment can be successful, you will first open a fertilizer factory in Hengyang City. Agriculture will be arranged as the first element, and then you will open a hospital and recruit famous doctors from all over the world. Remember, when necessary, use some means to treat these Things fall into place.”

"What we want is the results. We don't care whether you are willing to participate in the experiment or not."

"After recruiting talents, we will open schools."

"Agriculture, industry, and commerce all go hand in hand."

"Businesses, in particular, must be regulated and at the same time heavily taxed. The more profitable and larger the merchants, the higher the tax amount will be."

"At the same time, business must be managed in a detailed manner. An industrial and commercial administration office must be established to protect the rights and interests of workers while also managing merchants."

"Businessmen can drive economic circulation, but they can also easily harm others through business."

"I have listed some examples for you during this period. I will give you a copy later. If you catch any of the business practices I listed, you will be severely punished."

"Repeated offenders will have their homes confiscated directly."

"Those who engage in unscrupulous business are tantamount to treason!"

Zhu Ze listened very carefully to what Chu Ze said.

If it was just because the cake Chu Ze drew for him was too big that he couldn't control it before.

At this time, it was the cake Chu Ze gave him, and it was no longer as simple as drawing it.

Over the past month, in Hengyang City, no matter where Zhu Xi went, the people lined the streets to greet him.

Zhu Ji eradicated the bullies, redressed the grievances of the people, and reclaimed the land.

He even shouted the slogan that the imperial court is the people's biggest backer.

And to a certain extent, he also used facts to prove the slogans he shouted.

The people of Hengyang City's support for the imperial court has almost reached its peak.

As a result, Zhu Rui's prestige in Hengyang City also reached its peak.

At this time, Zhu Zhu seemed to have seen the picture of himself being listed as a saint and being worshiped by future generations.

So what he said to Chu Ze at this time was naturally very favorable and recognized.

After finishing the matter with Zhu Zhen, Chu Ze looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen again.

The two of them are now inseparable almost every day because of their cooperative relationship.

Zhu Di's training has basically been completed.

According to Zhu Di's own words, both he and Zhu Zhen will participate in the battle against the Japanese this time.

For the first time in actual combat, both brothers were extremely excited.

In particular, they led the most fattened personal guards in the entire army.

After this practical experience, both of them can head to Fengguo.

In the course of the meal, although Chu Ze was sitting in the guest seat, he seemed to be the leader among the group of people.

After dinner, everyone went to rest and play.

Only Zhu Biao and Chu Ze were left in the hall.

"I can't tell, but you are quite a leader. You arrange everything properly. How about you become the prime minister for me in the future?"

"Haha, don't you think it's ridiculous if you say these things now after decades?"

"Decades?"

"Otherwise, you would think that your father lived a long life. According to historical records, he suffered many blows and lived to be seventy or eighty years old. Do you think it was decades later?"

"It doesn't matter whether I have the leadership style or not. It doesn't matter whether I am the prime minister or something. My goal is not here."

"But you reminded me that I can't act so strong, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze who was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. He smiled and put his hand on Chu Ze's shoulder.

He couldn't help but say to Chu Ze with a teasing smile.

"What? Are you afraid that if you act too strong, I will doubt you in the future? I thought you didn't have such concerns!"

"This does not mean that it is not a good thing to take the lead. This is called self-consciousness and duty."

"After the Battle of Japan is over, I won't care about these things. Then my focus will be on experiments."

"After winning this battle, you have to help me."

"By the way, how are your arrangements for heading to America to look for land, sweet potatoes, and corn?"

Zhu Biao was somewhat helpless at Chu Ze's move to take the initiative to make things obvious that should not have been stated openly.

In fact, Zhu Biao has always regarded Chu Ze more as his friend.

The same is true for Chu Ze.

It's just that it's precisely because they regard each other as friends that some words have to be said openly.

Especially if Zhu Biao ascends the throne in the future.

Then this kind of friendship cannot be maintained openly.

The emperor is destined to be lonely.

"We have arranged for people to set off. Follow the route you gave. Go up the north and draw a map of the coastline along the way..."

"It's summer now. According to what you said, the closer you go to the north, the colder the climate will be."

"It's very possible to reach the Bering Strait you mentioned during the height of summer and then find America."

"It's just that if you want to come back before the end of the summer, it might be a little difficult."

"A total of five teams were sent out this time, but I don't know how many will come back."

During the entire process of traveling across the ocean on a treasure ship, the only thing that could be relied upon was the topographic map hand-drawn by Chu Ze as a guide.

Apart from that, there is no other way.

In fact, Zhu Biao was not sure whether this voyage would be successful.

"Are the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes you mentioned really as magical as you said? Enough to feed my people several times the size of the Ming Dynasty."

"Potatoes are poisonous and need to be grown without poison."

"But there are already indigenous people in the Americas today. They should be Indian groups. If our people can meet these groups in the past, we can get what we want directly from them."

"Of course, whether it's an exchange or a direct robbery, that's not what I need to care about."

"If we acquire these things, the people of Ming Dynasty will not be afraid even if the number is doubled."

"And these things can still be improved, and later there will be pepper seeds."

"As long as these things can be obtained, Ming's agricultural income will skyrocket within a short period of time."

"After the food problem is solved, we can fully promote population growth. Of course, after the war, the population will naturally grow."

"Hey, why don't I have a system? Otherwise, why would there be such trouble?"

"System? What is that?"

Zhu Biao looked at Chu Ze who suddenly felt sad, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.

However, Chu Ze just waved his hand silently.

"The system is just a thing that we, the later generations, came up with. It is similar to what people of your era think of, like the Dragon King who controls the wind and rain, or the Jade Emperor."

"Uh, you actually still think about this?"

While Zhu Biao and Chu Ze were chatting, a palace eunuch hurriedly broke into the hall where they were.

As soon as the other party saw Zhu Biao, he hurriedly saluted Zhu Biao, and then said anxiously.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has asked you to send a message. Your Highness Yunwen is ill and asks you to go back and take a look."

"What? Yunwen is sick?"

Zhu Biao, who had been chatting happily with Chu Ze, frowned slightly after hearing this.

After knowing that Zhu Xiongying would die of illness and Zhu Biao himself would die suddenly.

Whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, or Zhu Biao himself, almost all attention is focused on their father and son.

Even if Zhu Biao had extra energy, he put it all on political affairs.

In addition, after learning about Zhu Yunwen's series of sexy actions, Lao Zhu subconsciously had a lot of opinions about this eldest grandson.

Therefore, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Yunwen and his team gradually became indifferent.

Even Zhu Biao, a father, probably hasn't seen Zhu Yunwen in a month.

Today he suddenly heard the news that Zhu Yunwen was ill, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his son for a long time.

"Chu Ze, it seems I have to go back first."

After Zhu Biao came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After saying hello to Chu Ze, he stood up and wanted to leave.

When he stood up, Chu Ze couldn't help but frown slightly.

Is Zhu Yunwen sick?

"Although there are some things I don't think it's appropriate to say, but... under the interests of others, not everyone can stay awake. It's up to you."

Although Chu Ze's words were rather dark, in many cases, that was often the case.

As the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Behind them stood almost half of the Huaixi military generals group.

His grandfather was Chang Shiwan and his uncle was Lan Yu. Both of them were leaders in the Huaixi generals group.

Especially later, Lan Yu became the leader of the young faction of the general group.

Although Chang Yuchun is dead, don't forget that the remaining power of their faction is still there.

In contrast, Lu, who is now the crown prince and in the main palace,

There was nothing behind her.

And she is likely to be the queen and the lord of the Sixth Palace in the future!

But her son is not the prince

There are so many things involved in this.

Don't say she's afraid of this or that, she doesn't have the guts to do anything.

There is never a shortage of people to do things like rebellion, which often involves killing nine tribes, let alone a palace fight?

Zhu Biao, who was about to leave, couldn't help but pause slightly after hearing Chu Ze's words.

But he didn't turn his head, nor did he say anything.

"I know it's not appropriate for me to say this, but just think that I am speaking from the perspective of my own interests! Xiongying is my student, and at the same time, he is also the most suitable person to inherit everything."

"Even if something unexpected happens to you and me in the future, as long as he is still here, Lan Yu and other generals will still have a future."

"I will give everything I know to Xiongying. He is my all hope in the future. I don't want to see any accidents happen to him."

"I hope you should be careful about some things. People's hearts are unpredictable."

Chu Ze's voice was cold and deep at the same time.

The little eunuch who came to deliver the order was already trembling all over.

He heard a lot of things he shouldn't have heard.

After Zhu Biao finished what Chu Ze said, he silently turned his head and glanced at Chu Ze.

At this time, Zhu Biao's expression was very complicated.

But in the end, he nodded.

With his status, some things can no longer be measured as right or wrong.

Even if you don’t want to believe it, you still need to take precautions.

"Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he left Chu Ze's house without looking back.

The little eunuch who came to deliver the order was stopped by the Jin Yiwei before he even left the Chu Ze family's mansion.

Seeing Zhu Biao leaving in a hurry, everyone who was playing mahjong and billiards outside couldn't help but put down what they were doing and ran into the front hall one after another, looking at Chu Ze curiously.

"Chu Ze, what's going on? Why did the elder brother run away?"

"Yeah, is there something wrong?"

"Why did the prince leave? It seems inappropriate for us to stay here any longer!"

"I feel the same, how about we go home first?"

"Half Immortal. Could it be that something happened in the palace?"

Seeing everyone staring at him with curious faces, the corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched slightly.

I don’t know why...have these guys been with me for a long time, and have some subtle changes happened?

Did you actually find out all the prince’s gossip?

Isn't it something that shouldn't be asked about?

It’s the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass! Guys, let me see your monthly tickets!
