Zhu Bai also asked the local government bureaus to pay close attention to the payment situation of Guanyinzhuang, and report it immediately if there was any delay in payment or even no money to pay.
Because there must be something fishy in it.
There is a steady stream of information coming from all over the place.
All those who came to withdraw money were paid successfully.
Zhu Bai was surprised: so many official banks are all fine? It's amazing!
In other words, if there were any problems, they were fixed in time.
interesting……
Although Zhu Bai didn't panic, he still couldn't help but go to Guanyin Village for a patrol.
Different from the hustle and bustle in the past, today there are only a few people in front of Guanyinzhuang.
There was only one person standing there arguing with the manager of Guanyinzhuang: "I just want to deposit money to come in."
Shopkeeper: "Your Highness, King Xiang said that he will not accept deposits for the time being until he notifies you."
Is there something wrong with this prince's mind? Everyone is taking money, and he wants to deposit it.
The key is not much, just two hundred taels...
Zhu Ju: "I insist on saving it. After I save it, I will come to see you every day."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stepped forward and said, "Ah, fifth brother."
Zhu Zhu turned around: "Eh? You're back."
Zhu Bai: "Come on, let's go upstairs to drink tea."
Zhu Bai pulled Zhu Zhu, and then winked at Fugui.
Fugui and the others hurriedly took Zhu Ju's silver off the counter, went in and put it on Zhu Bai's desk, then went down to rest with Zhu Ju's entourage.
Zhu Bai asked someone to bring tea and snacks to Zhu Xi, and said, "How come fifth brother suddenly wants to come to Guanyinzhuang to deposit money?"
Zhu Rui: "I heard that there is something wrong with your Guanyin Village. I don't know how to help you. This is the only way."
Zhu Bai was stunned and moved: "Don't worry, there is no problem. Just take the money back."
Zhu Rui: "It's okay, it's useless for me to hold it. Just leave it here with you. I don't have much money to give you."
Zhu Bai sighed softly: "Okay, then leave it with me and I will pay you the long-term interest."
He called Fugui and took it down, stored it in the bank, and asked Zhu Zhu: "How are you doing recently?"
Zhu Ru felt aggrieved: "You have been back for ten days, why don't you come to see me?"
Zhu Bai sighed: "Sorry, I'm too busy."
In fact, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to go around Zhu Rui's mansion. Anyway, it's still time to go shopping elsewhere every day.
Besides, he is still underage and does not have so many taboos.
He didn't go to Zhu Ru's house. The main reason was that several women in Zhu Ru's house were jealous and quarreled every day.
If the housekeeper bullies Zhu Ru, he can help Zhu Ru stand out.
Fights and quarrels between wives and concubines are private matters and he really can't control them, so he can only keep a respectful distance from them.
I heard that none of Zhu Tie's four or five wives and concubines were weak, probably because Zhu Tie could not stand up for justice, and everyone had to rely on themselves and were unwilling to be suppressed by others, so they were all forced to become shrews.
Besides, there were two pregnant women among them, so it seemed wrong to help anyone.
Zhu Ru sighed softly: "I know, I don't want to go back either."
Zhu Bai was silent. Not to mention Zhu Rui's doughy temper, even he had a headache after hearing this.
Zhu Rui: "Don't marry so many concubines in the future."
Zhu Bai continued to be silent.
Zhu Ju: "What kind of work do you have here? It can be settling accounts and running errands. I'm really bored."
Zhu Bai: "Don't you grow a lot of herbs? How could you be bored?"
Zhu Ru: "I pulled them all out."
Zhu Bai: "Huh? Why..."
Zhu Rui: "It's a medicine with three parts of poison. I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, someone will use it for other purposes..."
Damn it! These women not only fought and quarreled, but they also poisoned each other!
Zhu Bai understood it instantly. He was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Thinking about how helpless and sad Zhu Ru felt when he personally pulled out all the herbs he had worked so hard to plant.
It's just that he's not good at expressing himself and won't show it on his face.
Zhu Rui said stubbornly: "So, do you have any work here? I don't want you to pay me, just give me something to do."
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Ah, you are a prince after all, I can't let you entertain guests in the official office, sweep the floor and serve tea.
Otherwise Lao Zhu will have to kill me.
He thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, there is a nursery in the backyard of Guanya Bureau, which is quite big. You can plant something here."
The image of Nannan flashed across his mind for some unknown reason.
Added another sentence: "It is best to plant plants and trees that are not poisonous and can be used as food."
After hearing this, Zhu Zhu's eyes were dull and motionless.
Zhu Bai thought he had accidentally hit him again, so he cautiously called out: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Zhu blinked: "Ah, great. Twelve brothers. I know what to do. Previously, there were floods in Hangzhou, and the sowing of crops was damaged, leaving the people with no food to eat. In fact, besides the things we grow, there are many
You can eat the fruits of plants and trees or the bark of leaves, roots and stems. I already know there are many, and there must be many I don’t know. Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, and I tasted a hundred grains.”
He said so much in one breath, which surprised Zhu Bai.
Then without waiting for Zhu Bai to answer, he left like a gust of wind.
Then Zhu Bai heard Zhu Xi's voice downstairs saying: "Let's go."
Zhu Ju's entourage asked: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Zhu Ju: "Go find some seeds and seedlings."
Then in the afternoon, Zhu Ju led people to plant the flowerbed in Zhu Bai's backyard full of plants.
The flowers are green, red, purple, and all sorts of strange things.
Zhu Bai sighed: We don’t know him either, and we don’t dare to ask.
Zhu Ru excitedly pulled Zhu Bai who was passing by and said: "Twelve brothers, come here, come here, this is chervil, this is purple cloud greens, all of them are edible. And these should also be edible, but
I don’t know the taste, I’ll have to plant it and try it before I know. I plan to draw the flowers, leaves, stems, fruits and roots of these plants in detail, and then note the taste, edible parts, medicinal properties, etc. next to them.
It's the same as "Compendium of Materia Medica". Oh, by the way, my book will be called "Compendium of Materia Medica". If there is a famine in the future, the common people will be able to find food by themselves with this book instead of waiting for the court.
of relief food.”
Zhu Bai nodded: "Very good, very good."
In fact, when there is a famine, everything poisonous or not will be eaten by the people.
Besides, many people don't know the alphabet at all.
Moreover, it is autumn now, and most of the plants planted will not survive.
It's just that he didn't want to hit Zhu Ru.
Let him go, as long as he is happy.
-----
Lao Zhu finally settled on three questions, but did not tell anyone what they were.
He re-copied the test questions with his own hands, put them into a small brass tube, sealed it with a seal and locked it in the cabinet where the jade seal was kept.
On the day of the rural examination, he would take it out with his own hands and hand it over to the eunuch who delivered the order. Then the eunuch who delivered the order would ride on horseback and gallop to Yingtianfu Yamen where the rural examination was held, and Chen Nanbin would open it under the witness of the two deputy examiners.
Then dozens of people would spend an hour transcribing hundreds of copies, and no one was allowed to enter or exit during the transcribing process.
As soon as the candidates enter the examination room, the examination questions are handed out immediately.
