Chapter 254 Lao Zhu is testing Zhu Bai

Ya sighed: Finally there is some progress.

But this progress is better than nothing.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, any girl can be called "nannan"...

Ya Chang looked at his daughter with a look of helplessness: You say Zhu Bai is precocious, he avoids such a beautiful girl and treats her as an enemy; you say he is childish, he handles a business of several thousand taels without any care.

It's laborious, and the worldly wisdom is also very clear.

It's confusing, it's confusing.

When Zhu Bai returned to the palace, he was called by Lao Zhu.

He guessed it was about the provincial examination questions.

Sure enough, Lao Zhu waved when he saw him coming in: "Come on, come on, let's see which questions are good."

Zhu Bai spread his hands and said, "Father, you have asked the right person. None of my sons and ministers know how to ask these questions."

Lao Zhu laughed angrily: "Haha, you still know that you don't know how to do it. Then the master asked you to endorse it, why did you throw away the list?"

Zhu Bai pursed his lips: This Liu Shengun is so shameless that he even came to complain!!

Lao Zhu stretched out his hand and tapped a piece of paper on the table, which was clearly the one Zhu Bai crumpled up and threw away, and said: "Come, put this away. If Master comes back in a few days, tell us, are you lazy?"

If you carry it on your back, I will personally slap you on the palm of your hand."

On the issue of educating Zhu Bai, Liu Bowen and Lao Zhu were on the same front.

Zhu Bai's face wrinkled: "There are more than twenty books. The pile is almost as tall as Erchen. He asked Erchen to memorize it in a month. Isn't this costing Erchen's life?"

Lao Zhu touched his chin: "One month..."

Zhu Bai: "Yes, yes, my father also thinks he is inhumane."

Lao Zhu: "No, we don't think you can just memorize and write. Then you can make up for all the copybooks you owed before."

Zhu Bai's face instantly drooped.

Lao Zhu: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you act like this when I ask you to study. Why don't you go to the state capital below to promote official studies and imperial examinations?"

Zhu Bai said sincerely: "Father, listen to what I said. I really don't need the things in these books. I don't need to write articles, so why do I memorize them?"

Lao Zhu also looked sincere: "You son of a bitch, listen to me. Even if you don't need it, you have to endorse me and practice calligraphy. From now on, when you go to the vassal state and write a government document, you will be laughed at by your subordinates. They will write a letter to you.

You can’t understand the letter either. We can’t afford to lose this person!”

-----

The same thing happened on the second day. Zhu Bai went to the Imperial College first, inspected the military department and shops, and then came to the Guanya Bureau.

As soon as he came in, he saw his daughter running around in the yard bringing tea and water, and then stopped and stared at her.

This made everyone very nervous, thinking that he would say the next moment: "Who told you to keep her, kick her out."

Zhu Bai didn't say anything, but turned his head expressionlessly and went up.

The dentist breathed a sigh of relief, followed Zhu Bai up, and continued to talk about the situation summarized by other dental clinics.

Zhu Bai gritted his teeth and wrote while listening.

Seeing his painful look, Ya Chang couldn't help but stop and ask: "Your Highness, this is..."

Zhu Bai threw away his pen: "These masters are crazy, as well as my father. I have been away for half a year, and they actually want me to make up all the missing homework in these days. What the hell? Three words a day.

, almost 600 articles in six months. I will never be able to finish them until my death."

It must be retribution for forcing Zong Lai and Zhang Zhenren to copy scriptures.

Lao Zhu went too far and repeatedly asked him to write three sets of words: "accurate report, reconsider, reject."

These are clearly the words approved on the memorial, what is he practicing for?!

His teeth grew long and he wanted to smile, but he didn't dare to. He could only pick up the pen and put it back on the table: "Your Highness, please be patient and write slowly."

Zhu Bai pursed his lips: The key is not to let Fugui and the others help with this matter, otherwise it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Someone below called "Nanny". Zhu Bai couldn't help but turned his head and glanced distractedly.

Nannan took a broom and went to the back to sweep the fallen leaves on the street.

Ya Zhang stammered and whispered: "My subordinates thought she was really pitiful, so they let her live in the woodshed in the backyard."

Although it's not a big deal, it's still best to let this "little king of hell" nod.

Otherwise, if this "little king of hell" doesn't want to, he might get angry one day.

Zhu Bai snorted: "You are the chief of teeth, and all the daily affairs of this official teeth bureau are under your control. There is no need to report it to the king."

As long as this girl doesn't bother him, it doesn't matter where he lives.

And her living in the Guanya Bureau is the best solution now.

Otherwise, if she really wanders outside and something happens, someone will orchestrate her to be cruel and cold-blooded in the future.

Ya Zhang added: "I saw that she was still hard-working and lived here, so I paid her a small wage and let her do odd jobs."

Zhu Bai glanced at him: "Why are you acting like a mother-in-law today? Didn't I say that these are within your scope of authority? Why bother reporting it all to me."

Ya Chang breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that you will be unhappy when you see her..."

Zhu Bai: "There's nothing to be unhappy about. It's none of my business. Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future."

Ya Chang said hurriedly: "Yes, my subordinates know."

He secretly said in his heart: As long as you don't use this matter to punish me, I will definitely not come to you to seek death again.

Zhu Bai called the shopkeeper of Guanyinzhuang over and asked, "What's wrong with me being away for so long?"

The shopkeeper said: "Your Majesty built a large sacrificial hall and came to Guanyinzhuang's bank to withdraw money."

Unless there are special circumstances, the bank opens once every morning to take out the money expected to be used that day, and opens again every day after the market closes to deposit the balance of the day.

At that time, anti-theft was taken into consideration. The lock and door of Guanyinzhuang's bank were specially made and required two people, the shopkeeper and Erhu, to open them.

Otherwise, even if it is chopped with a knife, axe, fire and frozen, it will take several hours to break it open.

Zhu Bai became nervous and asked: "Did you give it?"

The shopkeeper said: "My subordinates didn't dare not give it, so I gave him this month's advance."

It was originally stipulated that anyone who did not have a banknote and wanted to get money from the bank must get Zhu Bai's nod.

But Lao Zhu was Zhu Bai's biological father and the emperor, so the shopkeeper naturally did not dare to disobey him.

Zhu Bai frowned: This is not a solution. Most of the money in Guanyinzhuang belongs to customers.

If Lao Zhu embezzles money at every turn and suffers a loss, when the customer comes to withdraw the money, there will be no way to pay for it.

After all, Lao Zhu was born as a farmer. He always felt that everything in the world belonged to him and he had no concept of finance.

Therefore, the banknotes issued previously have depreciated greatly.

Zhu Bai asked the shopkeeper: "Where is the account book?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly handed it over.

Zhu Bai looked at it.

There is no problem with the accounts.

It is true that what Lao Zhu withdrew was only one month's profit.

Lao Zhu is so easy to get rid of, obviously he is not really short of money, but is testing Zhu Bai.

Probably because he found out that he could not fully control Guanyin Village before, Lao Zhu felt very uncomfortable, so he wanted to confirm how much control he had over Guanyin Village.
