In the Fengxian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang is handling government affairs. Although the Northern Expedition has been finalized, there are still many other things.
For example, the Shandong Japanese plague is coming soon.
As the climate warms, Japanese pirates can directly reach the coast of Shandong along the ocean currents. This is also the biggest reason why Japanese pirates are rampant after the beginning of spring. It is convenient to come.
"We will soon see how effective the Wolf Constitution and Yuanyang Formation are."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and muttered to himself.
Although every general who has seen the tactics of Lang Xian and Yuanyang Formation has given a very high evaluation to this tactics.
But only actual combat is the only criterion for testing results.
If the scourge of Japanese pirates could be solved, then Ming Dynasty's coastal defense would be much easier.
This is a matter of great significance. Stable coastal defense means that Ming Dynasty can concentrate more power to deal with Beiyuan.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he must have hoped that Lang Xian and Yuanyang Formation could show their might. In this way, not only would the coastal defense matter be settled, but Su Jing would also be able to give Lao Zhu a better boost.
As long as there is merit, Zhu Yuanzhang will give Su Jing any reward, it is an extremely simple matter.
"It's a pity that Su Jing is so young and so young. How can he live so maturely?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
He also had some understanding of Su Jing's attitude.
Su Jing already understood the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and she replaced Liu Bowen as the opposite of the Huaixi Group. Although no one said it explicitly, they knew it in their hearts.
Admittedly, such responsibilities can be stressful.
But it is precisely because of the need to fight against the Huaixi Group that Su Jing can also obtain status and honor that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
Zhu Yuanzhang's method of recruiting talents is more or less, the core is to treat people sincerely, and then promise them prosperity and wealth, which will benefit future generations.
But in Su Jing's case, these methods have no effect.
Inducement and inducement are useless, and coercion is not something Zhu Yuanzhang wants to use.
That's why we were in a deadlock at this moment. Fortunately, even if Su Jing just stayed in Yingtian Mansion, it would still put a lot of pressure on all the officials in the Ming Dynasty, and many officials shrank their hands and feet.
Such changes made Zhu Yuanzhang more determined to let Su Jing become an official.
With Su Jing in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be more stable and balanced in the future.
Su Jing, don’t think of living in seclusion in Lishui County anymore, I must keep you!
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly made a decision in his heart.
The government affairs had just been handled in the morning. Zhu Yuanzhang stretched himself and was about to call someone to find out what happened to his sons at Su Jing's place yesterday. Queen Ma came.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Queen Ma smiled and said, "Can't I come?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "No, it's just that there are a lot of things going on in the palace recently. There is no need to keep running here. If you have anything to do, you can talk about it tonight."
The fixed conversation between husband and wife every day has been the habit of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma for many years.
Queen Ma is a queen who can truly affect the future development of the Ming Dynasty.
"The princes are all back. I know you must be curious about what they asked Mr. Su for advice. I have already asked them all and came here to tell you so that you don't have to ask anyone again."
Queen Ma said slowly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was concerned about the princes' studies at Su Jing's place, and so was Queen Ma.
"Sister, tell me quickly, how are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested and asked hurriedly.
Queen Ma then told Zhu Yuanzhang exactly what happened to the princes in Niu Mansion. Everyone learned a lot from Su Jing.
This is similar to what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, but what surprised Zhu Yuanzhang was that Zhu Chong actually stayed with Su Jing last night.
"The second child can actually be given personal guidance by Su Jing. It seems that he is not that bad after all."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's attention is actually quite a lot.
Especially after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ping at that time already had a carefree character and behavior.
Most of the time, Zhu Yuanzhang's views on Zhu Ping were ineffective!
Now that Zhu Xi could stay by Su Jing's side, he was really surprised.
Empress Ma said with a smile: "Pang'er, Fan'er and Di'er have all agreed with Mr. Su that one person will have one day. Yesterday it was Pang'er and today it's Fan'er."
One day per person?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "So Su Jing only plans to give the second, third, and fourth children guidance for one day?"
This made Lao Zhu a little angry.
Previously, it was said that it was because he did not know his identity, so he chose to refuse to continue teaching.
Now that her identity is clear, Su Jing is still doing such a thing.
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, although not the prince, were still the sons of Zhu Yuanzhang and the future vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
What is enough to teach in one day?
Su Jing is simply humiliating herself in disguise!
"What's wrong? Chongba, is there something wrong with this, Mr. Su?"
Queen Ma didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions at the first time and asked doubtfully.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Is the second child back? I want to see him, and I want to know what Su Jing can teach the second child in one night!"
At this time, Queen Ma finally understood the reason for Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.
She immediately explained: "This is not what Mr. Su requested. It was what Ping'er and the others discussed among themselves. And if Mr. Su can't go back here, aren't you the one holding him back?"
Queen Ma's attitude towards Su Jing is really nothing to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Sister, even if this is the case, then Su Jing can't teach for a few more days? What's one day? Chen'er and the others didn't want to disturb Su Jing, but Su Jing did this to them?"
Because of Su Jing's uncooperation, Lao Zhu is now a little displeased with whatever Su Jing does.
It’s Su Jing’s fault anyway!
Empress Ma was helpless and did not refute any more. If Zhu Yuanzhang liked to talk, let him talk. It was just to satisfy his appetite.
"Okay, then call Ping'er over and ask."
Queen Ma said.
Queen Ma was also very curious about what Zhu Xi had learned from Su Jing that night.
Not long after, Zhu Xi came to Fengxian Hall.
At this time, he was still immersed in the soap industry that Su Jing had established for him. Last night, Su Jing not only taught him simple marketing, but also specific production and processing controls, commercial sales methods, etc.
One night, Zhu Xi didn't sleep for a few hours, and his mind was basically memorizing what Su Jing said.
It has to be said that when a person has spontaneous inner driving force, the efficiency of doing things will immediately increase by countless times.
Zhu Ping's seriousness is probably the most serious he has ever been in his life.
However, Zhu Ping paid the price for his previous laxity. It took Zhu Ping many times to remember things that others could easily remember.
"Ping'er, didn't you sleep well last night? You look so miserable?"
When Queen Ma saw Zhu Ming's pale face and black eye circles, she immediately expressed concern.
Zhu Xi replied: "After returning to my mother, Mr. Su taught me a lot. In order to remember it, my son basically didn't sleep."
The reason for not sleeping is to remember Su Jing's teachings.
As soon as these words came out, not only Queen Ma, but also Zhu Yuanzhang were shocked.
Is this still their second child who has been doing nothing?
"Second brother, tell me, what did Su Jing teach you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.
Zhu Xiang raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, my son, can you not say anything now?"
Um?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, how dare this guy say such words of rejection?
In the past, Zhu Xi didn't even need to ask himself, just one look told him everything.
But now, this is obviously a rejection.
Can such a big change happen in just one day?
Zhu Xi felt uneasy because he had not dared to do this before, but after feeling the real freedom beside Su Jing, he wanted to try it.
At the same time, he did not want to use words to tell his father Zhu Yuanzhang what he had learned, he had to use actions.
"Why don't you want to say it? Did Su Jing teach you something treacherous?"
A flash of majesty flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows.
Su Jing had told many shocking theories before, and some things were not suitable for Zhu Xi to know.
"What are you talking about? Who is Mr. Su? Is he rude?"
Before Zhu Xi could answer, Queen Ma had already spoken.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that now that Su Jing knew his identity, Zhu Chong's identity was naturally understood. There were some things that he could not do.
This is because I think too much.
"No, father, I want to show my father what Mr. Su taught me. I want to show it to my father in person, so I need my father's permission."
Zhu Xi also followed Queen Ma's words.
Although he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about, he heard something from the words of his mother, Queen Ma.
That is, Su Jing really has some treacherous things, and she even told her father, Zhu Yuanzhang.
Speaking of people, this enlightenment happened in an instant.
If this kind of detail had been left out before today, Zhu Xiang would definitely not have noticed it.
But Zhu Xi is different now.
"Oh, you still want me to see it? Then you have to at least tell me a rough idea, otherwise how can I allow it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi, and he found that he seemed a little unfamiliar with this second son.
Zhu Xi immediately replied: "Father, I want to do business. I have a general idea now, but some things still need my father's consent."
Doing business?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Xi's words, he didn't react for a while.
Because of Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang is not so resistant to doing business now.
After all, Prince Zhu Biao followed Su Jing and learned a lot about business.
Some of them are quite useful in governing the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't imagine Zhu Xi doing business.
The support he gave his own son, even if it was reduced, was still extremely generous.
Is there any business in the world that can give more to Zhu Ping than what I have given him?
And based on Zhu Ping's usual performance, can he really make a deal?
"Second brother, you wouldn't ask Su Jing to do it for you and then say you did it yourself, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Xi and asked, this was the only possibility he could think of.
If Su Jing controlled the whole process, then Zhu Xi might be able to accomplish this.
Zhu Xi immediately said: "Father, please rest assured that Mr. Su's teaching has ended. Everything after that will be done by myself. Mr. Su will not interfere in the slightest."
After finally mustering up the courage to do something that Zhu Yuanzhang would praise, Zhu Xi explained it very quickly.
"Chongba, you are serious. Ping'er is determined. Why do you doubt him? Can't you wait until Ping'er is done?"
Queen Ma complained to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Xi was also her biological son, and her love for Zhu Xi was not much less than that of Zhu Biao.
Empress Ma was also very concerned about Zhu Xi's performance on weekdays. Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning and doubtful tone really made Empress Ma a little unhappy.
"I know, sister, let's see what the dick can do."
Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately.
No one can speak to Queen Ma, and this attitude has changed so quickly.
"Pang'er, why don't you thank your father quickly?"
Queen Ma immediately gestured to Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi immediately said: "Thank you very much for your trust. I will definitely live up to my father's trust. But before that, I would like to include one more piece of news in the next issue of the People's Daily."
Queen Arima spoke from the front, and Zhu Ping was quite direct.
Is there news attached to the civilian newspaper?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma looked at each other, neither of them quite understood.
Zhu Xi immediately added: "Father, please rest assured that I am just promoting the business I am going to do next, and it will not involve any major national affairs."
People's newspapers spread very quickly, and if something is spread casually, it can easily cause harm.
Zhu Yuanzhang also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's worries.
"Okay, then I'll be sure. You can just send the prepared news by yourself when the time comes."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
After all, it is a people's newspaper, and its main purpose is to attract people's attention, and it is not so formal.
Zhu Yuanzhang said that it was for business promotion, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to question him.
"Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Xi thanked Zhu Yuanzhang again.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Okay, if nothing happens, go and do it quickly. I'm waiting for your performance."
"Yes, Father!"
Zhu Ping replied extremely excitedly, then turned around and left.
His steps were brisk, and his excitement was clearly written on his face.
"Chongba, Ping'er seems to be a little different this time."
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Ping's leaving figure and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "There is something different. You still want to hide it from me. Isn't it just doing some soap business? It's like no one knows about it. It must be the kid Su Jing who taught me bad things!"
Niu Mansion had too many informants, and Su Jing did not hide it deliberately.
They are all living in the mansion arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang, so it seems unnecessary to be sneaky anymore.
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Chongba, Chen'er finally cheered up. Please behave better. Don't forget, he is also your biological son!"
