Zhu Bai said: "It would be better if the eldest brother is willing to take over the arsenal. I will be happy to run my business."
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly: "Twelfth brother, it is better for you to do these things. I am suitable to read the book in the imperial study room."
Zhu Bai said: "Brother, there is no need to be humble. You are originally going to be the emperor who plans strategies and sits firmly in the court. Naturally, you will have ministers to help you with these specific matters. Duke Zhou is gentle and wise. If he goes to the battlefield to fight or manage the six ministries
He may not be qualified for the job, but he can gather capable people in the world, so he can govern the world well. My eldest brother's temperament happens to be the same as Duke Zhou. All you need to do is get capable people to gather around you."
Zhu Bai's words made Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao feel very comfortable.
In fact, Lao Zhu was a little worried that Zhu Biao was too weak.
Zhu Biao now feels that all his younger brothers are better than him.
Zhu Bai said: "Brother, if you want to see the armory, let's go there immediately. We will just have lunch outside after watching it."
Then he said to Lao Zhu: "I brought back roast chicken and emerald white jade soup for my father."
Lao Zhu waved his hand: "Go ahead, go ahead, no one is as sweet and sweet as you."
Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao came out of the imperial study and heard a high-pitched voice calling: "Eldest brother, twelfth brother."
Zhu Bai's hair stood up, and he grabbed Zhu Biao and ran away without looking back.
Zhu Biao was confused: "Hey, what is this?"
I already ran a round in the morning, why did I do it again now?
Zhu Bai said: "Brother, don't ask, follow me and escape first."
Zhu Biao looked back and saw a small figure standing on the other side of the lake and stamping his feet: "Humph, Brother Twelve is the worst."
It turns out to be Zhu Ju.
He couldn't help but laugh at Zhu Biao: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are actually people in this world that scare you."
Zhu Bai said: "She is like a dog-skin plaster. Once you get entangled with her, you can't get rid of it."
In fact, since he returned to Yingtian, Zhu Ju came to his bedroom every morning and pestered him to take her out to play.
Most of the time, he got up early and ran.
Sometimes when he got up late, Zhu Ju was already in the front yard, so he had to sneak out through the back door.
It's obviously my own home, but I act like a thief.
It's so frustrating.
The eunuchs and guards didn't know why, so they could only hold the things in their hands and follow Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao in pursuit.
A group of people ran wildly along the Imperial Study Room and the lakeside as if running for their lives.
The other maids and eunuchs all smacked their lips and sighed: "Your Highnesses are really becoming more and more diligent now. Running twice a day like this is so exhausting for everyone else."
When he arrived at the gate of the outer palace, Zhu Bai stopped and looked back to make sure that Zhu Ju was not chasing him. He patted his chest and said, "Huh, you can think of getting rid of her."
Zhu Biao said: "It doesn't matter if you play with her. Why don't you just play house and make clay figurines."
Zhu Bai shook his head: "Brother thought of her too well. How could she be so gentle and quiet? Recently she was learning makeup and took Concubine Shun's rouge lipstick. She always tried it on my face. It's terrible. I'm a man.
, how can you accept such a great shame and humiliation?"
If it weren't for the fear that Zhu Ju would go to Concubine Hu Shun to complain, he would have been too lazy to wait on the little girl.
Zhu Biao was quiet and suddenly burst out laughing: "The twelfth brother is good-looking, he should look even better with makeup."
Zhu Bai sighed: "Brother, you have become bad too, and you even laugh at me."
Zhu Biao suppressed his laughter and shook his head as he said, "Oh, I don't know what kind of woman I need to be worthy of a person like my twelfth brother when I grow up."
He is rich, smart, well-spoken, and Lao Zhu's favorite son.
Judging from his current appearance and Concubine Hu Shun's appearance, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he is definitely a handsome man who is one of a million.
Zhu Bai grinned: "I'm still young, so I don't care what I do. I wish I could get married as late as possible, so that I can play for a few more years."
Marrying a wife and having children is like having your hands and feet tied.
It is impossible to think about being so free anymore.
Zhu Biao suddenly remembered that Nannan was the person Lao Zhu had placed next to Zhu Bai. He hesitated for a moment and finally did not tell Zhu Bai.
------
It turns out that Zhu Bai's arsenal is in the house where Vice-President Gu once commanded to hide the money.
At this moment, there are five posts, one post, and one sentry, ten steps away, and the guards are very tight.
Firstly, the manufacturing process of the Yanling Knife is a secret and cannot be leaked. Secondly, Zhu Bai is also afraid that people will smuggle the Yanling Knife out.
Zhu Bai said: "These guards are all highly skilled, alert and loyal people selected from the official bureau. They work in three shifts a day, with one day off every ten days. They must take turns to return to the guard station for one day of training every three days.
"
He was like digging for gold from the sand, constantly selecting people from the guardhouse and constantly sending back those who were unqualified.
Anyway, in general, he has more and more guards.
Mainly because business is increasing.
In the past, there was only the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, but later there were the Guanyin General Bureau and the Guanyin General Store, and then there were countless official Ya bureaus and inns.
Nowadays, there is the "Juren Inn" and this armory. There are not so many guards and there is no way to guard them.
However, these guards often return to the guard station for training. When war breaks out, they can be integrated into the guard station with a call, so it will not be abandoned.
It was like Zhu Bai was helping Ying Tianwei raise and train troops, and Ying Tianwei couldn't get what he wanted.
It is said that the commander of Ying Tianwei personally came to Zhu Bo and asked him to equip Ying Tianwei with a Yan Ling knife after Zhu Bai decided on it.
Zhu Bai did not refuse, he only said that priority would be given to the border guards first, then to the palace guards, and then to the Yingtian guards.
This order is difficult for anyone to refute.
Commander Ying Tianwei could only go back and wait.
The world of military commanders is relatively simple: whoever can fight and promote himself is the big brother.
It has nothing to do with age or appearance.
Zhu Bai annihilated the Japanese pirates twice and asked Lao Zhu to be named a military commander. Among the military commanders, he became the God of Wealth and the Little God of War.
The generals loved and respected him.
Whatever he said was what he said, and basically no one dared to object.
Zhu Bai explained to Zhu Biao with a smile: "At that time, the floors inside and outside the house were pried up to find money, and the garden was also rummaged. The wells and stoves were all overturned. If it was used to live in people, it would have to be renovated, so I simply renovated it.
It was converted into a workshop. The place is remote, there are no neighbors around, and the area is large enough. It is close to the city gate and the main road, and it is convenient to transport goods in and out. It is perfect for an arsenal."
Hu Dafa had already stood at the door to greet you and saluted: "Your Highnesses, you are so polite."
Zhu Biao smiled: "So you're here. No wonder I haven't seen you in the Guanya Bureau several times."
Hu Dafa scratched his head: "Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking about the villain. The villain is more suitable here."
Zhu Bai said that there were people coming and going in the Guanya Bureau, and there was no guarantee that a few people who knew Hu Dafa would show up next time and cause trouble. So he transferred Hu Dafa here.
Hu Dafa has led soldiers, fought in battles, been a bandit, and even fought with weapons himself. It is perfect to come here to supervise the work.
