Chief Ya's attitude was always respectful and courteous, making it impossible for Zhu Biao to find anything wrong: "Your Highness, forgive me, because the Guan Ya Bureau is too big and profitable, so I have to do this because I am afraid that someone will have a wrong idea and forge the orders of King Xiang." Zhu Biaoshen said. Taking a deep breath: "That's right, it's useless for me to make things difficult for you."
Even if he puts a knife on Ya Chang's neck and forces him to issue an order, it will be of no use if the officials below ignore him.
Only then did he realize that opening this room was a useless effort. Zhu Biao worked hard for several days without any results and was extremely depressed.
Seeing that Zhu Bai had arranged everything calmly in those days, he felt that there was no difficulty.
As a result, you can't do anything.
In fact, if you think about it, if there were no Zhu Bai, there would be no Guanya Bureau.
He couldn't do anything in the first place.
The shocked Zhu Biao returned to the palace dejectedly.
During dinner, Queen Ma saw that he looked unhappy and was a little worried, so she asked, "What's wrong with Biao'er? But he's tired."
I heard that Lao Zhu gave Zhu Biao full authority to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Biao feels a lot of pressure, which is normal.
Lao Zhu didn't say anything. After dinner, he called Zhu Biao to Qianqing Palace alone and asked, "What's wrong? If there's anything you can't handle, tell us and let us listen."
Zhu Biao sighed softly: "I can't mobilize the Guan Ya Bureau. It is said that the twelfth brother's autographed letter will be stamped with the seal, and then the Guan Ya Bureau will be moved."
Lao Zhu was also surprised, Zhu Bai's crooked words came to mind.
It's impossible to fake it...
Then a question arose in the minds of both father and son: Zhu Bai deliberately wrote the words like that to prevent forgery?
is it possible?
He is so young, does he have such a city?
Zhu Biao asked in a low voice: "Father, what should we do now?"
Lao Zhu: “There’s nothing we can do about this.”
He used to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and suddenly he wanted to ask all the officials below to do his bidding, but it was impossible.
Moreover, he also felt that the Guanya Bureau was built with Zhu Bai's hard work and was Zhu Bai's private property, and he couldn't bear to just rob it like this.
Zhu Biao blushed and said: "Why don't you bother your father to write a decree and ask your twelfth brother to write a note to the local government agencies for cooperation..."
As he talked, he could no longer speak.
When Zhu Bai was running the official bureau, he faced all kinds of criticisms from the ministers. He would go out early and come home late, looking for houses, selecting employees, advertising, and attracting customers.
He didn't help with anything, but now he felt that the Guanya Bureau was useful, so he just told him to use it.
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay, although this kid is naughty, he can still handle big things. Let's tell him, and he will definitely be willing to cooperate."
Although I can't bear it, thinking about it, when the eldest son is in charge of the family, doesn't it mean that all the younger sons have to cooperate?
The whole world belongs to the king.
Is there anything personal?
Zhu Bai might as well get used to it now.
Lao Zhu wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Biao went down.
Today it happened that Liu Bowen was giving Zhu Biao a lecture on the art of war. Seeing his rare distraction, he simply stopped and asked, "Do you have any problem, Your Highness?"
Zhu Biao sighed, explained the cause and effect, and then asked: "Master, I always feel that what I did was against a gentleman's etiquette, justice and integrity."
Liu Bowen was very unhappy when he heard that Zhu Bai had so many means to control the official affairs.
He saluted Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, please don't think so. After Your Highness ascends the throne, the whole world is not the royal land, and the shores of the land are not the royal ministers. Even the King of Xiang is your minister. As a king, in an emergency, you can ask for It is natural for ministers to cooperate. Besides, Your Highness is not doing this for personal enjoyment but for the common people of the world."
Zhu Biao forced a smile: "That's what I said."
Liu Bowen said seriously: "Your Highness must not be soft-hearted. If you let it go, King Xiang will be unable to lose his tail when he grows up. It will be difficult to control him again. It is best to start restricting him from now on."
Zhu Biao's heart trembled and he stared at Liu Bowen: Master, this means...
Liu Bowen looked back with firm eyes: Yes, that's what it means.
Zhu Bai frowned and stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for your teaching. But Master has taught me to be a human being first and then a king. If your own brother wants to make plans, it is definitely not what a gentleman should do. A student can't do it."
Liu Bowen sighed softly: "Your Highness is benevolent. I naturally know that you can't do that. But you must at least learn to use King Xiang instead of always letting King Xiang use you. For example, this Guanya Bureau, from this disaster relief,
His Highness should understand its function, so he must find a way to take it back to the court as soon as possible. Since the emperor has written a handwritten edict to King Xiang, it is better to take advantage of this time."
Zhu Bai received Lao Zhu's letter, and without any hesitation he wrote a note for Zhu Biao to all the government bureaus, saying that if Zhu Biao needs to mobilize medicinal materials and food within three months, all government bureaus must obey.
It seemed that he was very cooperative, but in fact he was holding back.
First, Zhu Biao could only mobilize food and medicinal materials, and secondly, he set a deadline.
When Liu Bowen found out, he was filled with hatred: Everyone said that this kid was reckless, but I was the only one who knew that he was actually cunning and cautious.
For example, this note was written in an extremely smooth manner, which did not disobey Lao Zhu, but also prevented others from interfering with his officialdom.
Now that I have the note, I'm just waiting to mobilize things.
Zhu Biao was ambitious and eager to try, waiting for the prefects to ask for help.
As a result, although it rained for a long time this time, the prefects did not report the flood.
Zhu Biao was puzzled and asked someone to send a message asking.
Several prefects gave similar answers: King Xiang ordered the canals and sewers in the city to be dredged two months ago. The accumulated water was drained quickly and there was no waterlogging for the time being.
Zhu Biao became even more depressed: Alas, Zhu Bai has already done everything in advance.
I struggled for a long time, but it was all in vain.
-----
Zhu Bai came out from Hangzhou, stayed in Shaoxing for one night, and then arrived in Ningbo.
The journey was not bad, the scenery was beautiful and the weather was good.
But when he came out of Ningbo, he discovered a problem.
More and more people are following behind them.
It started with one or two people, but within an hour it turned into a long queue.
There were not only pedestrians, but also people riding horse-drawn carriages and carts.
Zhu Bai kept muttering in his heart: He doesn't look like a beggar, so why are you following me?
It always feels weird to have a big tail behind it.
Are we blocking the way?
Although according to the rules, ordinary people can take the official road, but if there is an official emergency, they must give way.
Are the people afraid that they will be punished if they surpass me, so they follow me?
But I didn't rush, so I let them go first.
Zhu Bai waved to Zhang Yu: "Mr. Zhang, let's step aside and let them go first."
But as soon as they stopped, everyone behind them stopped.
Zhu Bai gasped: "It's so strange, what on earth are these people doing?"
