After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, seeing that Liu Bowen and Li Shan were silent, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you two think?"
Liu Bowen handed over his hand: "This method is exquisite and can be tried. However, you must carefully choose the person to supervise, otherwise corruption and fraud may breed."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "So, I called you two here because I want you to hold this important position."
Liu Bowen immediately fell to the ground and said: "I have neither talent nor virtue, so I cannot bear this important responsibility. I beg the emperor to choose someone with both talent and political integrity to assist Mr. Li."
Just kidding, it will be Li Shanchang's credit if it is done well, and it will be his fault if it is not done well.
He's not that stupid.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted and stared at the top of Liu Bowen's head, cursing in his heart: You old fool, you want to avoid it again. You can't do anything, you are the first in the quarrel.
Li Shanchang also lay down: "I will never give up even if I die."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him helplessly: Of course I know you want to do this, but this matter is too important and I don't trust it if I leave it to you alone.
Although Liu Bowen is a thorn in the side, his ability and conduct are still outstanding.
Zhu Yuanzhang patiently advised Liu Bowen: "Master Liu, there is no need to be humble. Only Master Liu can assist you and Master Li can handle this matter well."
Liu Bowen was not moved at all: "I am incompetent and dare not take on this important task."
Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists: You old man, don’t be so shameless!
Do you really think that I can’t do anything without you?
Believe it or not, I will drag you down and kill you right now if you disobey the order!!
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and said warmly: "Father, this matter is important. Can we listen to the opinions of the ministers in court tomorrow before making a decision?"
The so-called opinions of the ministers are just to see how they quarrel.
This was Zhu Biao's tactic to delay the war, because he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually kill Liu Bowen in anger.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Okay, you go back first."
As soon as Liu Bowen and the others left, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he walked around the room, cursing: "How can this be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable?"
Zhu Biao was about to speak but stopped.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him: "Biao'er, what do you think?"
Zhu Biao said: "Can Mr. Liu take the lead in this matter, with the others assisting?"
He understood that Liu Bowen's refusal to agree must be because he knew Li Shanchang's urine properties too well and did not want to wade into this muddy water.
However, he couldn't say it directly.
After all, Liu Bowen was his teacher, and Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Li Shanchang even more.
Zhu Yuanzhang said flatly: "No. If Liu Bowen takes the lead, we will no longer be able to control it."
This is easy to say, as long as the parents' officials are honest and efficient, and all the state governments cooperate. The people who guard the official positions are honest and upright.
And these happen to be the qualities that Liu Bowen possessed.
So Liu Bowen is the most suitable candidate.
However, Liu Bowen's prestige is very high now. If he takes the opportunity to change the people who work below him, it will be even harder to manipulate him in the future.
Zhu Biao pursed his lips and lowered his head, making no sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and frowned at the memorial on the table: But Liu Bowen was not allowed to take the lead, and Liu Bowen refused to work, so the matter came to a standstill.
The room suddenly became quiet, and one could hear the soft crackling sound of silver charcoal exploding in the stove.
The voices of Erhu and Zhubai came from outside.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang realize that Zhu Bai had slipped out at some point.
Zhu Bai: "Ah, Mr. Erhu. What's bothering you? Do you want me to help you tell your fortune?"
Erhu sighed: "That's right, Your Highness. Spring is about to begin again, but there is no young labor force at home. I'm hesitant to ask my neighbors to help loosen the soil and cultivate the land."
Zhu Bai: "Then it's fine to hire him. It only costs a little money, so why hesitate? But the neighbor took the opportunity to extort money and the price was too high?"
Erhu: "My neighbor is upright and upright. He won't take the opportunity to ask for a high price. He just speaks too harshly and wants to take care of everything. If I beg him this time, he will definitely come to take care of my family's affairs. Today I am talking about my woman.
I dressed up a bit too brightly when I went out. Tomorrow asked me why I don’t grow cotton in my fields. So I was hesitant whether to invite him or not.”
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly gritted his teeth: This kind of person is indeed despised wherever he goes.
Zhu Bai smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. I'll help you with your fortune telling. It's five cents of silver, so don't give it up."
Zhu Yuanzhang had already scolded him in his heart: You little bastard, you pretended to be a ghost and cheated money again, and you even cheated me.
Erhu said hesitantly: "I only have ten big coins."
Zhu Bai: "Deal. Now that we are open for business, I will give you a discount."
Then I heard the hexagram box being shaken several times.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly: This kid has really learned Liu Shengun's pretentious skills to a tenth.
Zhu Bai was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said word by word: "Kill him."
These three words were cold and calm, not like they were spoken by a child.
Zhu Biao's heart beat wildly twice when he heard this, and then a cold chill crept up his spine.
Even Lao Zhu had the illusion that he had just run outside and said this.
Erhu was obviously frightened and stammered: "Your Highness is joking with Erhu. How could you kill someone for such a trivial matter?"
Zhu Bai said coldly: "This man is a dignified man, but he likes to meddle in other people's business like a talkative woman. He is really hateful. I would rather kill him than ask for his ears to be clean, and then spend more money to invite others to plow the land. Anyway, this kind of thing
Anyone can do physical work, and they won't be any worse than him."
Erhu didn't know what to say.
Zhu Bai said: "You are a dignified fourth-grade imperial official, but it doesn't matter if you kill a troublesome citizen. Don't worry, my father will definitely support you when the time comes. Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If you don't dare to kill, I will tell my father."
The king said that this man is a bandit, and I will get rid of him for you. As long as you listen to me in everything from now on."
These two short sentences have already committed five or six capital crimes in the "Da Ming Code".
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Bai's words becoming more and more outrageous, and raised his chin to Zhu Biao with a look of pain on his face.
Zhu Biao hurriedly went out and called: "Twelfth brother, my father asked you to come in and talk."
Zhu Bai's voice suddenly returned to its usual innocence: "Master Erhu, remember to come to me for fortune telling in the future. I will give you a discount."
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and took a deep breath: Discount, discount, I want to discount your legs!!
Zhu Bai was completely unaware of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger. He came in and stood there, smiling and tilting his head and asking Lao Zhu: "What do you want from me, father?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Bai, a thought flashed through his mind: Could this guy be taking this opportunity to advise me to use Liu Bowen?
He coughed dryly: "Regarding this food bank, who do you think is the most suitable person to use?"
Zhu Bai thought for a while and said: "Of course, we should use someone who is upright, honest, and capable. Three points or less will not work. If you have no spine, you will be scared by others and you will not dare to work. If
If you have even the slightest selfishness or lack of ability, you won't be able to get the people below to obey."
