Sure enough, Li Shanchang glanced at Ru Taisu. Ru Taisu walked out and said, "The official warehouse matter is important. Wouldn't it be too hard for Mr. Liu to take charge of it alone?"
In fact, he was cursing euphemistically: How could Liu Shengun be so virtuous and capable? How could the emperor give him such great power? Where does the emperor put us?
Then Song Lian immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Mr. Liu has outstanding moral integrity and talent, and he will definitely select suitable assistants."
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came out again and said: "The auxiliary personnel should be appointed by the emperor, otherwise there is a risk of forming cliques for personal gain."
The supervisory censor came out again: "Since Mr. Liu is taking the lead, it is natural for Mr. Liu to appoint the personnel. Otherwise, it will not be used smoothly and the process will be affected."
The military attache seemed to have slept to death.
There was a huge quarrel among the civil servants.
However, Li Shanchang, who stood at the front of the civil servants, was silent. Liu Bowen looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, detached from the world.
It was like two shadow puppet actors. The excitement in front of them seemed to have nothing to do with them, but in fact it was all caused by them.
No wonder Lao Zhu felt that Liu Bowen was forming a clique. At this moment, all the officials were helping Liu Bowen to speak.
In fact, most of the time these people would scold him as well.
At this moment, they are siding with Liu Bowen, not for personal gain, but simply because they think he is the best choice.
But Li Shanchang is different.
Every action he and his people take is for themselves.
Zhu Bai's drowsiness was completely disturbed by them.
The two sides finally got tired of arguing and their voices became quieter.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out his ears and said, "Okay. Mr. Liu, you can decide on the candidate here."
It seems to be a last resort, but it actually plays into his heart.
The court hall suddenly became quiet.
Liu Bowen seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Can I take anyone with me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "You can take anyone with you."
Liu Bowen asked again: "Is it okay to take no one with you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly annoyed, and his tone became more serious: "You don't have to take anyone with you if you want."
Liu Bowen said: "The minister would like to invite Mr. Zeng Bingzheng and Mr. Li Wenzhong to go together."
One in literature and one in martial arts.
Li Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew and Lao Zhu's most trusted general.
This is because Liu Bowen took the initiative to place Lao Zhu's spy around him to reassure him.
Moreover, military commanders have the advantage that in case someone with ill intentions uses violence to oppose, they can immediately mobilize the army to maintain order.
Zeng Bingzheng was known for his integrity, but his ability was just average.
The most important thing is that Zeng Bingzheng is not Li Shanchang's person.
Li Shanchang raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and nodded: "Yes."
Li Shanchang lowered his head and clenched his hands in his sleeves. This time he was completely kicked out. He was really unwilling to do so.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If anything happens, report it quickly; if nothing happens, the court will be dismissed."
Those who supported Liu Bowen were satisfied, while those who supported Li Shanchang were annoyed.
Everyone was immersed in great sadness and joy, and they couldn't think of anything else to say.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his chin at the eunuch.
The eunuch said in a sharp voice: "The emperor has returned to the palace."
Then the person from the etiquette department next to him rang the bell.
When the ministers heard the sound of the bell, they woke up like a dream: Wait, what was going to replace the silver salary just now?
Ah, yes, copper plates.
Wouldn't it be a huge loss to exchange hard currency silver for copper plates?
No, no, absolutely not.
Your Majesty, I still have something to report!
Zhu Yuanzhang had already left with his men.
A eunuch came over and said that the emperor asked Mr. Liu to go to the imperial study to discuss the matter of the "official grain bank".
Then Liu Bowen left again.
The ministers felt disappointed: they had been fooled by this old gangster. He put the most important things between a few sentences and said...
Liu Bowen went outside the royal study and saw Zhu Bai playing with a telescope. He went over and bowed solemnly.
Lao Zhu was firm that day, but now he suddenly relaxed. It was obvious that something happened later.
Thinking about it, when he came out that day, he happened to see Zhu Bai going to the imperial study room. It was probably this kid who did something.
Zhu Bai blinked and pretended to be confused: "Master, why do you want to salute me?"
Liu Bowen secretly laughed: Are you pretending to be stupid? There is a price to pay for pretending to be stupid in front of me.
He said: "Your Highness, I am going on a business trip and won't be back until at least the Chinese New Year. So today is the last class."
Zhu Bai grinned: "Don't worry, Master."
Great, I just want to send you away! Don't come back.
Liu Bowen then said: "When can I pay back the five taels of silver that Your Highness owes me? Why don't you come to class today and bring it to me? Otherwise, I won't have to pay for the business trip."
Zhu Bai looked confused: "When did I borrow money from Master?"
Liu Bowen folded his hands and looked at each other indifferently: "You have used up my five taels of silver a piece of large white rice paper."
Zhu Bai's face wrinkled into a ball: "I'll go. You're doing naked blackmail."
Liu Bowen spread his hands: "There is no way, my family is poor..."
After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he went in.
Zhu Bai sat there blankly: If Liu Bowen had no money to go on a business trip, it would be very troublesome if he died of hunger or illness on the way.
But in such a short time, where can I find five taels of silver to compensate him?!
Zhu Bai sat in the imperial study room racking his brains to think about this problem. He didn't even know when Liu Bowen left.
Then a eunuch came to report that Li Shanchang wanted to see him.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
Li Shanchang will definitely come to pester you for a while.
It’s no good if you don’t see me, I’ll still have to use this old mule to grind...
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Bai, one old and the other young, sat with their eyebrows furrowed, as if they were copying and pasting, so that the maids who came in to serve tea couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Bai: "Help me send Li Shanchang away."
Zhu Bai: "What are the benefits of sons and ministers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Five taels of silver."
Zhu Bai: "Deal."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Biography of Li Shanchang."
As soon as Li Shanchang came in, he knelt down and sobbed: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu is an important minister of the country. The ministers are afraid that he will be exhausted if he takes too few people."
Zhu Bai couldn't help but cursed in his heart: Old green tea!
It's really rare for an old man to be so drunk.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai stood up and walked to Li Shanchang: "Master Li, what do you think of my calligraphy?"
Li Shanchang looked confused: Angry?! Why did you suddenly ask me about this calligraphy?
Are these two things related at all?
I heard that this Xiang King elf is weird, so don’t be fooled by him.
Li Shanchang said: "The pen and ink of King Xiang is naturally good. The momentum is extraordinary and can penetrate the back of the paper."
Zhu Bai said: "Twenty taels of silver, I will write another one to you."
The flesh on Li Shanchang's face twitched: I'm here to seek benefits, but you actually want to take advantage of me!
Zhu Bai lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you buy a letter from me, I will definitely let you participate in the grain depot."
Li Shanchang's eyes lit up and he replied: "Of course I want His Highness's calligraphy treasure, but I don't have that much money, only ten taels of silver."
