Zhu Su was still hesitating whether to take up the scientific responsibility, so Lao Zhu immediately killed him first and then played the part later, which gave him a reputation that Zhu Su did not expect.
When he left Jinshen Hall with a tangled look on his face, he didn't notice Lao Zhu staring at him with his hands behind his back.
"What an idiot. Now that you have become a stranger in this world, you must have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. With a flick of your hand, you can stir up the world."
"With such ability, how can he still be a free king and live a happy life?"
"Our son's status is still too low, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect your heirs. But if he becomes a grandmaster who establishes a sect, and has the luck of being a world-class scholar..."
"This is the only way you can get a real Aetna..."
…
Zhu Su didn't know Lao Zhu's painstaking efforts, and just thought it was Lao Zhu's bad taste and wanted to give his son a literary name that would make Lao Zhu's family famous. Today, Zhu Su has a reputation as the Qilin son of the Zhu family both inside and outside Yingtian Mansion. He originally didn't want to copy poems but was forced by Lao Zhu to become a Qilinzi. Who could Zhu Su talk to for reason?
We can only let it go. Anyway, it sounds quite satisfying to be praised by others for being a Qilinzi...
"Haha, it's me, the Qilin son of the Zhu family, here! Come on, come on, let me see, have you grown taller in the past few days?" Zhu Biao, who was at the gate of the palace, saw Zhu Su coming out and hurriedly took two steps to greet him. , patted Zhu Su's arm: "Not bad, not bad. I heard that you and your second and third brothers set up a small school to keep fit, and they are indeed getting stronger day by day!"
As Crown Princess Chang became increasingly pregnant, Zhu Biao's life became busier and busier. They often go around the Liubu Yamen and the Prince's Mansion, and even when they enter the palace, they only have time to see Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. I haven't seen the Zhu Su brothers for more than ten days.
"Brother, please don't arrange it for me." Zhu Su smiled bitterly, "Others don't know, but don't you know, brother? That song Linjiangxian is..."
"Eldest brother naturally knows. Fifth brother, no need to say more." Zhu Biao interrupted Zhu Su. "But if my father wants you to do this, you can bear the name of Qilin'er. You are the King of Wu in the Ming Dynasty. Is there anyone who dares to come and compete with you?"
Zhu Su did not expect Zhu Biao's attitude. This eldest brother has always been a bit pedantic about knowledge. He was previously accused of stealing a sentence from Li Zhi, a later master of psychology, to refute Fang Xiaoru! Why do you accept it so simply now?
"Hurry up. It will be lunch soon." Beside Zhu Biao, Mu Ying also smiled slightly at Zhu Su. "I heard that you want to visit Zhuangzi outside the city. I will wait for you here. It's just that Brother Biao is busy now and can't go with you."
"I'll just go with you."
"Brother is busy with official duties. How can I delay the business because of my nonsense?" Zhu Su said hurriedly. Zhu Biao smiled and patted his shoulder: "I don't delay things when I see you. Your sister-in-law often He was talking about you, saying that it was thanks to you that you gave him the dietary prescription to prevent the fetus. Remember to talk to her when you have time. She has a big belly now and can’t move."
Zhu Su nodded in agreement, the three brothers exchanged a few words, and then Zhu Biao went about his official duties. Mu Ying led the Governor's Tiqi to protect Zhu Su, and the group of people rolled up the smoke and headed towards the Imperial Mansion being built outside the West City.
….
Coincidentally, this village was built on Bifeng Mountain in the west of Yingtian City. The mountain has beautiful scenery. Although it is located in a quiet place, it only takes half a day to reach the west gate of Yingtian City by riding a horse. Yuan is a good place for outings for the nobles in Yingtian City.
There was only one temple on the mountain called Bifeng Temple, which was the one that Zhu Su and others wanted to go to before but failed to do so. He is quite famous in Yingtian City, so he has some incense.
This temple is located on the mountainside, but Zhu Su's imperial palace is at the foot of the mountain. From a long distance away, you can see a newly built gate at the foot of the mountain. The plaque on the gate is still empty, and you can vaguely see it from a distance. Go to the village under construction. This single square gate stands empty here.
"Uh..." Zhu Su was speechless. Whose summer resort built a square gate all the way away and left it here? This doesn't look like Zhuangzi, but it does look like Shanmen of Hezhong sect.
There's nothing wrong with it... Lao Zhu Bacheng built this place as the sect of the Zhu family in the future. Zhu Su thought to himself.
"Behind this door,
They are all within the scope of Zhuangzi designated by His Majesty. Mu Ying said to Zhu Su. Sure enough, the "summer resort" created by Lao Zhu is definitely not just a village.
"This is a rare flat land near Bifeng Mountain. These fields belong to the temple. After the Ming Dynasty was established, I made this place an imperial field." Mu Ying was a horse's head ahead of Zhu Su and led him along. Walk and talk. "That's the village built for you over there. In another half month, it will be completed and you can move in. In terms of scale, it is quite different from His Royal Highness's Prince's Mansion."
Speaking of this, Zhu Su's spirit inevitably lifted. The eldest brother's Prince's Mansion occupies a large area. If it really had that scale, it would be really great.
"Has the culvert I mentioned been dug?" Zhu Su asked.
"Dig it. Your culvert is twisted and twisted, which really took away a lot of effort from the Ministry of Works. But they didn't dare to disobey it. They dug it before building the house." Mu Ying said. It was difficult for Zhu Su to leave the palace. This house was basically built under his eyes, so he naturally knew the details. The two wandered into a forest again, and Mu Ying said: "This is a military stronghold. Zhuangzi's grain, grass and equipment, as well as the Jinyi Guards and the sergeant sentries from the Governor's Mansion will be stationed here."
"If something happens in the village, just hide here and close the camp gate, and you can hold on for more than a hundred days. You'll be safe."
Zhu Su looked at the camp wall and gate built at no expense, and then at the dense trees outside. These trees are usually used to shield the military stronghold. It would be difficult for ordinary people to discover that there is a stronghold here if they don't know about it in advance. If there is an emergency, it can be cut down to make a beating tree, or it can be burned into a fire wall, or it can also be used to block the cavalry. It is indeed a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"There is one more thing... Brother Su, come here." Mu Ying said on the horse. Zhu Su rode his horse to follow him, and saw another gate leading to an open space deep in the camp. This place is deep into the mountains, and it must have taken a lot of effort to carve out this large open space. Zhu Su saw that several furnaces and workshops had been built here!
"This is where I, the Ming Dynasty, will secretly research new weapons in the future!" Mu Ying introduced. "Those fire kilns are new furnaces built according to your drawings, Su Di, for making steel and making pottery. Su Di, please go and have a look. Is there anything wrong with the construction?"
He had indeed given instructions to Lao Zhu with the drawings, hoping that he could build a furnace in the Imperial Manor according to his own drawings. Among these kilns are steel-making and glass-making, and there is another purpose that Zhu Su values the most today.
That is: burn cement!
