You bunch of useless things, when you are collecting rewards, you run faster than the other, but when you start working, you all shrink back.
Lao Zhu was so angry that he cursed in his heart and said harshly: "Ru Taisu, this is a matter of the Ministry of Husbandry. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, you can tell me."
Originally, the Ministry of Household Affairs should have sent people to provide relief this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to take the lead, and the Ministry of Revenue acted as if it had nothing to do with them.
It really pissed him off to death.
Ru Taisu hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty is wise, no matter who you send to transport food, you will need to eat food, and it will take so much time. So unless you don't let the living things go, let the dead things go."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean?"
Ru Taisu said: "The emperor asked the Ministry of Industry to build a machine that can run by itself. It does not need cattle, horses, or people, and it does not need to consume food and grass."
I go......
Zhu Bai almost laughed and did the splits. He turned around and glanced at Ru Taisu with interest.
Ru Taisu is not only verbose, but also has such a strange brain circuit.
Even a machine needs power.
This puts the responsibility directly on the Ministry of Industry, which is really shameful.
The Minister of Industry will definitely explode.
Sure enough, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was so angry that his face turned red. He jumped out and pointed at Ru Taisu and cursed: "Fart, you old sour scholar, do you think the Ministry of Industry is a god? Cutting paper and spreading beans to people to become soldiers is a Taoist illusion."
.You should change yourself and show me."
Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips.
Ru Taisu looked disgusted: "If you have something to say, please say it. It's really insulting to be polite."
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that they would argue and waste time again, so he said: "If this method doesn't work, think of another one."
Ru Taisu added: "Then the Ministry of Civil Affairs should recruit a skilled craftsman who can make such a machine."
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at him sideways: "I am incompetent as a low-level official, but Sir Shangshu told me where I can find such a godly man."
Ru Taisu said: "There must be one. Wouldn't the Ministry of Industry make a 'bicycle'?"
After saying this, everyone turned to look at Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai looked innocent and spread his hands: "Bicycles also need people to ride on them, and a bicycle can pull very little."
Ru Taisu said: "The Ministry of Rites has recently recruited so many eminent monks. Is there any good solution?"
The Minister of Rites rolled his eyes: "Why do you want a senior monk to go there? Sitting on a grain cart and chanting sutras for everyone so that everyone can eat less?"
Ru Taisu added: "Then let the Ministry of War order the soldiers to eat less."
The Minister of War gritted his teeth and said: "How about you go transport it, sir, and let the soldiers have a rest."
Ru Taisu spread his hands and said, "Why don't you let the Ministry of Punishment send those serious criminals to transport them."
The Minister of Punishment sneered: "Even if he is a death row prisoner, doesn't he still need to eat food? Mr. Ru tortures people so much, it is better to give them a happy life."
This Ru Taisu is exactly like Li Shanchang. He kicks the ball around. Anyway, it is other people's business and has nothing to do with him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his temples were twitching, and he waved his hand: "Dismissal, dispersal. Li Shanchang, come with me to the imperial study."
As soon as Li Shanchang entered the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You will make a trick tomorrow, saying that Ru Taisu is occupying the latrine and not shitting, and asks for a replacement."
Ru Taisu made no mistake, so he was fired directly for fear of being dissatisfied.
If Li Shanchang makes a mistake, if the officials object, they will just jump out and scold Li Shanchang, which is none of his business.
The reason why he valued Li Shanchang so much was because Li Shanchang was very obedient and often helped him do the dirty work and took the blame.
Li Shanchang lowered his head: "Your Majesty, although Ru Taisu is not very capable, he has a very good attitude and is loyal. This is the time when the Ministry of Revenue is employing people..."
Just kidding, he still wants to keep Ru Taisu to work with him to study how to implement the new tax law, and they can reap benefits, so how can they personally fire him?!
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth: "What a fart, he has no ability, how can he be a second-rank official in the imperial court? He is loyal, right? Let him guard the border for me."
Li Shanchang said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, this matter is very difficult. No wonder Ru Taisu can't solve it. He has already suggested four or five ways."
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed out from his nose: "It's okay if you don't say it, but I will be angry if you mention it. What method did he propose?"
Li Shanchang lowered his head and fell silent, muttering to himself: Don't you have a good idea yourself? Besides, you can't wait to find a more suitable person to replace Ru Taisu.
Zhu Biao didn't like Ru Taisu very much, but he didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Li Shanchang in person, so he stood silently aside and said nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at Li Shanchang and froze.
The room fell into a suffocating silence.
The dripper made a "tick" sound, and a vague salty fragrance drifted over from the stove.
It was clearly the aroma of meat cooked with various spices, but it was much more fragrant than boiled meat.
When I woke up early in the morning, I was still very angry. Now I smell the aroma and feel even more hungry.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw that Zhu Bai was sitting by the stove, grilling meat and eating.
The monkey, sitting next to him, and Zhu Bai, you and I were having a good time.
This monkey was brought back by Zhu Baizhongdu after he taught martial arts.
Seeing that Zhu Bai was so frightened this time, Zhu Yuanzhang softened his heart and asked him to keep the monkey.
Zhu Bai was eating happily when he suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet. He looked up and saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him, then he leaned over with a smile and said, "Dried deer meat, father and elder brother, do you want it? It smells so good."
Without any explanation, he stuffed a piece of dried meat into Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.
He handed another piece to Zhu Biao: "Brother is weak, venison is the best."
Zhu Yuanzhang chewed: "It's really fragrant. Where does it come from?"
There were few meat dishes in the palace, and there was no extra meat to make dried meat.
Li Shanchang felt that the dried meat looked familiar and smelled even more familiar, and he murmured in his heart.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Shanchang, he felt particularly disgusted and waved to him: "Let's go, let's go. They are all useless things."
As if Li Shanchang had been pardoned, he hurriedly saluted and left.
When he returned home, his wife was scolding the servants in the yard.
"Haha, you guys are helping me eat something that I am too lazy to make, so I'd better recognize it as soon as possible."
Li Shanchang was in a bad mood. When he saw this situation, he became more and more depressed. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? I cursed people so early in the morning."
The lady said: "Oh, my lord, your dried venison has been running out very quickly recently. I suspect that someone stole it. I have been interrogating for a day now, and no one has admitted it. However, it doesn't matter if they don't admit it. I
There was arsenic in the newly opened can of venison jerky last night. Anyone who eats it and refuses to admit it will also die."
Something flashed through Li Shanchang's mind so fast that he could hardly catch it.
He frowned and asked his wife: "What did you just say?"
Lady: "Someone stole the dried venison. I poisoned it with arsenic."
No wonder the dried venison Zhu Bai ate looked so familiar to me. It turned out to be from my family.
Li Shanchang opened his mouth slightly and murmured: "It's over..."
