Chapter 108: Your Majesty’s Blessings

It’s actually still embarrassing when things like this happen.

After all, we are all people who want to look good.

As the saying goes, see no evil, say no evil.

But look at such a clear, things have become this way, precisely to say not to say everyone’s heart diaphragm.

When the people had dispersed, even that junior had the good sense to take the money and go to the back kitchen.

Zhang Anshi then looked at Zhu Di awkwardly and said, “What brings you here, Your Majesty?”

Zhu Di tensed his face, glaring at Zhang Anshi said, “I come or not, still need to report with you?”

This was a typical phenomenon of annoyance after breaking defense, so what else could Zhang Anshi say but, “Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is right.”

Zhu Di s face finally eased a little, then said, “You here …… is not bad.”

Zhang Anshi said, “I am ashamed, since I was ordered to guard this place, I have been exhausting myself every day, worrying about this ferry, lest I fail to live up to His Majesty’s trust.”

Zhu nodded, “What happened to the explosion just now, and what did you blow up?”

This instantly poked Zhang Anshi’s pain, Zhang Anshi said with an aggrieved face: “This …… is really hard to say, when I was not the Shen family manor blew up half of it? I was thinking, such a large mansion, I’m afraid it can’t be repaired, so I had to endure the pain and teach the other side to blow up as well, and I watched my own mansion turn into ashes with my own eyes, and my heart was very bad, ten thousand times harder to let go ……”

Zhu Di, however, smiled, and he finally felt much better in his heart.

“Nothing, men, to atmosphere some, and then again, you do not also earn a lot of silver? Camping a large Bur House, when I want to come to see.”

Zhang Anshi immediately said, “Your Majesty, I do not intend to camp a residence.”

Zhu wondered, “Huh?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I want to camp a schoolhouse, mainly because I am deeply concerned that many people want to study but cannot find a famous teacher.”

After a moment’s pause, he continued, “Furthermore, Sage Kong has also entrusted me with a dream, and as I think about it, I always have to do right by his old man.”

Zhu’s face twitched and he just wanted to curse.

Zhang Anshi, however, lowered his voice and added: “If this book is to be sold, it must be effective, if there is no role model, who is willing to buy the book? Your Majesty, if you want to sell well, this academy must be organized!”

“Yes?” Zhu revealed a meaningful expression.

Zhang Anshi while the iron is hot said: “In fact, I also hesitate to run the school is too much worry, all aspects of the matter, have to take care of, if it was still in the Prince of State in the first place is okay, only need to teach courses to people can be, but unfortunately …… I was hated by people, hey … … is really difficult to say. … really difficult to say.”

He said it in a difficult way, but there are two messages revealed here, one is that he can make money and the other is that he is selling out!

In the beginning, Zhang Anshi did not make any mistakes, but he resigned from his post as a doctor because he was besieged by a hundred officials.

If the former is said to be a lure, then the latter, is enough to win Zhu Di’s sympathy.

Zhu Di sighed and said, “It’s good that you have this motivation, what I take is your sharpness, it’s good! Right, Zhang Anshi, you fetch some more silver taels for me.”

Zhang Anshi did not say anything, busy pulling out the silver, hands on.

Zhu Di got the silver, but turned his hand over to the also lost Ha: “Go, open a few upper rooms.”

Yiluoha was first stunned, then he was busy nodding his head and hurried off.

It was Zhang Anshi who exclaimed, ”What is Your Majesty’s intention? This place is very crude, does your majesty want to stay here? What’s more …… this place is guarded, I’m afraid ……”

Zhu Di, however, said with a smile, “I will wait here for a day.”

Zhang Anshi was puzzled: “Wait …… for what?”

Zhu said, “Keep watch and wait for someone to throw themselves into the net.”

When Zhu Di said this, he stopped laughing and showed an extremely serious look, and even his speech started to become civilized.

Having known each other for so many days now, Zhang Anshi was able to roughly feel out some of his temperament, and generally when such rough people suddenly stopped swearing, something might happen.

Zhang Anshi’s heart is unconsciously anxious, can’t be, can’t be, can’t be that my three brothers have committed another crime, right?

Zhu Di, however, was calm and relaxed, and added, “Have the second bring tea.”

In a few moments, that junior poured tea, and the junior said with an apologetic face, “The party is the small damned, small …….”

Zhu shook his head, but was atmospheric, “None of your business, pay for food, this reasoning, we still understand. It’s just that I don’t have my silver with me, and it’s really my negligence.”

Zhang Anshi’s heart became more and more uneasy, he found that Zhu Di began to become polite, there is no longer that kind of passionate and unrestrained temperament in his body, and even when he picked up the tea, he actually penetrated a wave of elegance.

Speaking of which, Zhu Di was originally an imperial son, he was born in Yingtian, when the Great Ancestor, the High Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, had already occupied the city of Nanjing, so it can be said that Zhu Di’s growing up environment was definitely superior to any other person in the world.

As a matter of fact, those elegant mannerisms and speech, think Zhu Di since childhood should have been cultivated, just his bones, but also seems to disdain these so-called elegant, deep inside, seems to be from the bloodline of the great ancestor of the high emperor passed down the wild.

But now, this wildness was deliberately restrained, but it made Zhang Anshi more and more uneasy.

Xiao Er did not think so much, only know that the person in front of him is a nobleman, this is not even Uncle Zhang is also careful with him!

So the little two said, “After all, I have eyes without pearls ……”

Zhu Di suddenly said, “That’s all, there’s no need to say more.”

Yao Guangxiao, however, sat aside and said to Xiao Er with a smile, “Just go ahead and get busy.”

Junior then went off at ease.

Yao Guangxiao at this time is to measure up Zhang Anshi, in fact, he has always been Zhang Anshi quite some curiosity, of course, Zhang Anshi’s identity is quite sensitive to Yao Guangxiao, after all, this is the crown prince’s wife brother.

Yao Guangxiao has always ignored Zhu Di’s family affairs, even if Zhu Di asked countless times who could be the crown prince, Yao Guangxiao would never be biased towards any of Zhu Di’s sons.

He always had only one answer: His Majesty has his own judgment.

This is not that he is overly cautious, but Yao Guangxiao is very clear that Zhu Di has the vision of choosing his own successor, and he will never change this result if he says or does not say it, and said …… that he may leave the words behind.

At this point, he turned toward Zhang Anshi and said, “I heard that you dreamed of Sage Kong?”

Zhang Anshi said without blinking, “I vaguely dreamed about it, and when I woke up I couldn’t remember many things.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Have you ever dreamed of Buddha Rulai?”

When Zhang Anshi heard this, he found it a bit harsh, aren’t you here to cause trouble?

Zhang Anshi then said, “I am a scholar, not a person outside the square, and I do not think about Buddha on weekdays, so I don’t think Buddha will come to find me in his dreams.”

Yao Guangxiao sighed with emotion, “The poor monk has been practicing Buddhism for dozens of years, but so far I have not seen the Buddha manifesting his spirit, but Uncle Cheng En is only ten years old, and he has been entrusted with a dream by the Confucius Sage, which is really enviable.”

Zhang Anshi was determined to ignore him, this guy was full of strange words.

On that day, Zhu Di actually really live here.

This inn accommodation is actually not good, after all, before here is just a small ferry, and there are no big merchants or the capital of the official family to, everyone would rather walk a few steps to the Nanjing city of the inn to live.

To the next morning, the sound of people will be noisy again, and the snow is even bigger, goose feather-like snow flakes falling, covered in the earth above, outside the inn, has been silver.

At this time, Yiluoha hurriedly entered Zhu Di’s bedroom and carefully served Zhu Di to change his clothes.

Zhu said, “It seemed noisy downstairs just now, what was the reason?”

“A lot of diners came, among other things …… among other things ……”

Zhu Di said with a calm demeanor, “What’s the matter again?”

“Instead, some local people came and heard …… heard ……”

Zhu Di today extraordinarily calm, actually did not curse, the voice remains calm: “But say no harm, no matter what to say, are pardoned your innocence.”

It was only then that Yiluoha boldly said, “They said that they had heard that the elder brother of Uncle Chengen had come, and that they had nothing to honor him with, and had sent some food to him.”

Zhu Di’s face instantly twitched, almost unable to hold back his desire to curse, but finally took a deep breath and only said, “Oh, I know.”

When Yizhuha had combed Zhu’s hair, Zhu said, “Then it might be a good idea to go down and take a look.”

After saying that, Zhu took Yiluoha downstairs, which already has many diners downstairs, but on the other side, there are also quite a few people who are placed against the back kitchen by the store assistant, and these people are all dressed in short costumes.

When that junior saw Zhu coming down, he pointed towards them, and these people came forward to greet him.

Zhu Di looked at them expressionlessly, and saw that some people were carrying eggs, others were carrying chickens, and there was even someone who drove a goat.

The sheep looked a little anxious and uneasy, and seemed to have a foreboding feeling, bleating endlessly.

The first one is an old man’s appearance, he was red-faced, and performed a salute, before saying, “Last night I know that the benefactor to come, we will think, the benefactor and uncle to us have a renewed grace, the little ones sent some things, I hope that the benefactor does not mind. I am surnamed Song, a single name a鐞� character ……”

Zhu Di looked at it and saw the sincere look of each of these people, his heart just coldly laughed.

Hmph, that Zhang Anshi is a thief, even sent someone to play me.

Do you really think I can’t see through this?

Thinking like this, Zhu Di did not give any good face, coldly said, “I and that Zhang Anshi, can not have much friendship, you do not get the wrong idea, I live here temporarily, you and others do not come to nuisance, take things quickly go.”

Zhu Di is how smart people, once guessed the other side of the intention, which still tell you what cheek.

Song Lian and the people who came with him were the ones who looked at each other in disbelief.

A mistake?

How come Song Thirteen previously said that he had a nose for it?

It seems like there might have been a real mistake, that jerk Song Thirteen.

So Song Lian instantly changed face, leaning on the cane said: “so, both so, then we are worshipping the wrong temple, but you this man, good not know, at least the old man is also an old man, I speak with you in a good voice, you even this kind of response, to come, come, come, let’s go, not to be with this man to calculate, Uncle Cheng En said, to be peaceful to make money. ”

After saying that, the crowd really dispersed in a flurry, and that one sheep still refused to go, being dragged and pulled, as if it was going to the torture chamber, bleating non-stop.

Zhu Di heard, but slightly stunned, the other rolled his eyes, Zhu Di knows, this may not really Zhang Anshi layout, if the other side really know his identity, where dare to talk to him like this?

So they …… actually came here on their own accord?

Zhu lowered his head and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

On the contrary, it was also Lostha who stepped aside and said in a very low voice, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty ……”

Zhu came back to his senses in a trance, “What?”

“It’s time for Your Majesty’s breakfast.”

“Got it.”

That small two specially for Zhu Di to find a very quiet location, Zhu Di seated, have a ride without a ride drinking tea.

“When does His Majesty intend to set up his chariot?” Yiluoha’s voice was soft.

Zhu Di said lightly, “There is no hurry, these days there has to be a result before it can be done.”

After saying that, Zhu Di raised his head to look at Yao Guangxiao, who was sitting across from him.

Yao Guangxiao sighed, “Amitabha, Amitabha ……”

Zhu raised an eyebrow and said, “What do monks recite in the morning.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Gurus recite the Sutra of Transcendence for people with compassion.”

…………

In the Wen Yuan Ge.

A sherpa was hurrying into the public room of the university professors.

This Wen Yuan Pavilion has now become the center of the Ming Dynasty, just Wen Yuan Pavilion is small, there are several university professors, there are more than ten sheriffs office. Even on weekdays, the ministries of Shangshu, ministers and Hanlin’s bachelor will also come.

So the three university professors, at the moment, can only shrink in a public room.

“Duke Xie, Duke Hu, and Duke Yang.” This hurriedly arriving sherpa saluted.

Xie Jin raised his head and got up, “Has His Majesty not yet summoned him?”

“Inquiring, His Majesty …… was not in the palace last night.” The Sheriff replied respectfully.

Xie Jin was shocked, his brows deeply furrowed, this was definitely beyond the ordinary.

Although today’s Emperor Magnificent, occasionally out of the palace, everyone also pretends not to see.

But not returning to the palace overnight is rare.

So Xie Jin said, “Do you know where it is?”

“Inquired, the Holy Driver is currently at the Qixia Ferry. The people of the Jinyiwei have already heard the news, and the绶归獞浠� have already set out ……”

When Xie Jin heard this, his eyes flashed brightly and darkly as he looked toward Yang Rong and Hu Guang: “Er Gong, what is His Majesty doing heading to Qixia Ferry?”

Hu Guang smiled bitterly, “Your Majesty is wise and has his own deep meaning.”

Yang Rong pondered for a moment, then said, “It should be because of Zhang Anshi.”

Xie Jin’s face became even more somewhat unsightly.

He did not like Zhang Anshi from the beginning, or rather, the scholarly origin, he has traditionally been antipathetic to the foreign relatives and the Hundred Ministers, which are a group of rough people, through the ages, but whenever the emperor trusted the Hundred Ministers, the foreign relatives, or the eunuchs, it was a dark period for the scholarly people.

This is a history lesson for Xie Jin.

What’s more, in the depths of Xie Jin’s heart, there is a secret heart.

Prince side, in fact, Xie Jin has taken the pinch, as a hardcore Prince party, Xie Jin is almost known as the Prince’s right arm.

This plan of his can at least ensure that he will be the most important person in the two dynasties, and when His Royal Highness ascends to the throne in the future, he will be under one person and above ten thousand people.

Because of this, he felt Zhang Anshi such a relative extraordinarily annoying, the Prince of this wife’s brother the more tolerant, Xie Jin’s heart will be more uncomfortable.

Xie Jinyin said, “This …… is indeed too strange, just …… your majesty threw not return to the palace today, how to deal with this national event?”

Yang Rong and Hu Guang sensed something in Xie Jin’s words and said, “What does Lord Xie think?”

Without hesitation, Xie Jin said, “Let us go and welcome the driver.”

He sighed, “When His Majesty is outside, it is inevitable that the court and the countryside will be alarmed, not to mention the fact that the Holy Spirit is outside, so it is inevitable that there will be people taking advantage of the opportunity to nuisance the people again.”

Yang Rong and Hu Guang pondered briefly and also felt that it was reasonable, so they nodded to each other and then prepared to move.

Now that there was a resolution, the group rode in a sedan chair all the way to Qixia Ferry.

Xie Jin insisted on taking the land route instead of choosing the water route, in fact, there is also his mind.

The waterway, though quick, did not give His Majesty time to anticipate in advance, and appeared hasty, whereas by taking the land route slowly, both sides would have a preparation, and if there was any news along the way, it could be passed on at any time.

Waiting to see the Qixia ferry is in the distance, but see a crowded line of people, stopped in the Qixia ferry not far away.

As soon as he saw Xie Jin and his entourage, someone came forward and called out, “My official Shangyuan County magistrate Zhou Kang, I have seen you all.”

Hearing is the county magistrate of Shangyuan County, Xie Jin does not care much about each other, each other’s status is too big a difference, even the county magistrate of Beijing County in front of Xie Jin, also seems inconspicuous.

However, at this time, Xie Jin is not clear about the situation here, after all, still got off the sedan chair, but saw a winged hat, good-looking man in the crowd of officers and gentry under the crowd, and then bowed to him again salute.

Xie Jinyin back hands, a light and breezy look: “What are you doing here?”

Zhou Kang respectfully said, “The next official heard that the Holy Driver to Qixia, so the rate of the Zuo official and the local gentry and people here to welcome the driver, but also prepared a number of offerings …….”

Xie Jinyin sighed: “This is not again a nuisance to the people, traditionally the Son of God on patrol, along the way without offering ……”

He shook his head, but didn’t continue into the depths.

However, apparently, Zhou Kang and these people could understand the meaning of Xie Gong, as a reader, in the Confucian values, readers believe that the emperor rashly enter and exit the palace forbidden, is a very inappropriate thing.

Historically, those faints and tyrants, most like to go out on a tour. A saintly monarch should be in the deep palace, worrying about the state affairs every day, and selecting wise and capable ministers to tour the four directions on behalf of the emperor.

Of course, these words, Xie Jin, such as the head of the scholars, Wen Yuan Pavilion University Professor can say, he Zhou Kang is not qualified, so Zhou Kang at this time will be silent.

Xie Jinyin then said, “If you are going to meet the emperor, why are you here?”

Zhou Kang then said, “Not far ahead is the range of Qixia, and now Shangyuan County, which my humble servant governs, has nothing to do with Qixia.”

Xie Jin immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Kang, magistrates are strictly forbidden to cross the border, what happens in other people’s land, but you bring the county’s Zuojun, the gentry, which seems to be very inappropriate.

The safest way is to wait here at the county border, and then meet the emperor here when he returns to the palace with his chariot, to show his face in front of the emperor and brush up his good impression.

Xie Jin then said, “As a matter of fact, this Qixia Ferry, is also the county boundary of Shangyuan County, His Majesty is close at hand, how can you hesitate?”

Hearing this, Zhou Kang saluted as if it were a ritual and said, “It was my humble servant who was confused.”

Xie Jin added: “Has His Majesty’s line been determined?”

Zhou Kang said, “I have ordered someone to spy, and the line is at an inn right in that marketplace.”

Xie Jin heard, nodded and said: “so very good, you and others with me to go to the ride.”

After saying that, he looked back at the bearer: “The holy carriage is right in front of us, we will go on foot so as not to be rude.”

The crowd obeyed, and Hu Guang and Yang Rong also got out of the sedan chair and walked.

So xie jin lead, hu guang and yang rong in the left and right side by side, zhou kang is in the back of the same, others are farther away, xie jin one side pacing, one side of remembering something: “these two days can be what is abnormal?”

“Yesterday there were bandits, who killed a good scholar-squire in the county, and the death was extremely tragic and brutal.”

Xie Jin frowned: “Shangyuan County is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how could there be such a thing?”

So Zhou Kang busily said, “It is the negligence of the subordinate official, but also please solve the public …….”

Xie Jin is here to interrupt his words, but said: “I heard that this Zhang Anshi in the ferry here, wanton nonsense?”

Zhou Kang looked helpless and said, “Hey …… the next official is a word.”

Everything is in the end, Xie Jin’s heart seems to be clear.

These days, the impeachment of Zhang Anshi’s sangha quite a lot, Xie Jin did not these sangha deliberately suppressed, but deliberately placed on top of the other sangha.

When a group of people entered the bazaar, it caused the monks and lay people here to be at a loss for words, and the Shangyuan County’s police officers went to clear the way first.

Immediately, this empty and full of mud on the road, Xie Jin and others walked to the outside of the inn, they all bowed down, Xie Jin took the lead in the mouth called: “I Xie Jin, specially come to escort the driver, respectfully ask the holy peace.”

The crowd at the back of the room sang.

Such a big noise, but Zhu Di is still still sipping tea in the inn in a dignified manner.

He crossed his legs and looked like a six-pack.

Junior had long since softened his legs in fear, then crawled back to the back kitchen.

Yao Guangxiao, on the other hand, seemed to be in a state of tranquility, not moving at all.

Zhang Anshi was beside him and was carefully talking to Zhu Di, only when he heard the commotion, Zhang Anshi stopped talking.

Yiluoha, on the other hand, carefully watched Zhu’s face.

Zhu Di, however, did not show, as if this is ignored, continued to Zhang Anshi: “You continue to say, the next year, the provinces of the courtyard examination, the second edition of the printed, how to store?”

Zhang Anshi then hastened to say: “This is simple, the minister these days, the provinces of the bookseller to clean up, intends to find agents in the provinces, the provinces of the agent, want to seek books from us here, must be our rules of obedience, and to let them prepare a generous deposit.”

“Margin?” Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise, obviously again not having thought about it.

“This is of course, if they do not have a large amount of silver mortgaged to this, if they do not comply with the regulations, how to punish them? The laying of goods to be early, may really sell goods time, must have to ensure that in the courtyard examination before the ten days and half a month, so that …… will ensure that someone transcribes and resells this eight shares of the pen talk, everyone to the most critical moment, of course, the first time, I hope to be able to get the eight shares of the pen talk, and immediately begin to join the review, time is short, delayed one day is less than a one day.”

Zhu nodded, “That’s the truth.”

Zhang Anshi also said: “But the shipment, we have to transport, this time must be grasped. Some remote places, I’m afraid to be two or three months early, we have to escort the books, but once early …… is afraid of someone private demolition, in order to prevent private demolition, there must be an agent, the agent to take a large amount of silver collateral, all of the books have to be sealed with a parcel, but also to play the fire paint to ensure that no one tore open, we must make sure that all the world’s state capitals, on the same day! Selling!”

“If it is found that an agent of any province dares to dismantle a book, or is lax in his defense, and teaches someone to get the book ahead of time, as soon as he is detected, he shall immediately forfeit all of his collateral. Not only this, but other punishments must be agreed upon. In short, it is to teach him to lose all his money, so that he will lose more than he gains, and only then can these people become trusted partners in the future.”

Zhu Di said, “Are they willing to make this agreement and suffer these harsh conditions?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: “Your Majesty do not know ah, this book is extremely expensive, and very best-selling, is simply a million dollar deal, which a bookseller can get this agent, not to say that the gold mountain, but at least lying in the food and clothing is guaranteed, so good to do business, who is not willing to do?”

As Zhu listened, he nodded and said, “That makes sense.”

Zhang Anshi then added, “With an agent, it is the same as being able to maneuver into the channels of all the state capitals in the world.”

“Channel?” Zhu wondered, it was obviously another new word to him.

“This is like the imperial court to govern the world, need to set up government offices in the provinces and state capitals in all parts of the world. This book sale, in fact, is also the same reason, got the agent of the bookseller, will certainly be able to rely on this agency in the local large-scale, they in the provinces in the states and counties of the bookstore, but also must be hot business, which is equal to the distribution of the channel!”

“In this way, if we sell other books in the future, we can also use these channels to underwrite them.”

Zhu Di suddenly realized, then surprised: “Means …… you in addition to this eight shares of pen talk, but also want to do other business?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I have this idea, but such matters require Your Majesty’s approval.”

Zhu Di pondered, “Let’s discuss this matter in the long run.”

…………

Outside the inn.

Xie Jin and other people kneeling in the snow, snow flakes hit their bodies, they shivered with cold, and their faces froze and bruised up.

Xie Jin only felt sore knees, only blame the road outside the inn is not flat, at this time he saw no movement inside, the heart of the surprise.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Jin added: “I, Xie Jin, respectfully ask the Holy Ghost.”

But there was still no reply.

Xie Jin more and more suspicious, in the past, he felt that he was for the palace and the dynasty is a grasp, after all, although he is still quite young, but also feel some of the emperor’s temperament.

But today …… is unusual.

At this time, Zhu Di is frowning, seems to be pondering over Zhang Anshi’s channeling problem, and ignores the movement of the outside world.

He glanced sideways at Yao Guangxiao, and seeing that Yao Guangxiao was still in meditation, he said, “Monk Yao, what do you think as you listen?”

Yao Guangxiao said, “Amitabha Buddha, poor monks only practice Buddhism and do not ask for things outside the square.”

Zhu Di said, “I originally wanted to add some incense money to your temple.”

Yao Guangxiao said, “If Your Majesty gives charity, it is a great merit. Amitabha Buddha, good, good.”

Zhu said, “What a good, good thing.”

He seemed to have finally settled down and suddenly said, “Come in and talk!”

This voice shook the rubble, since it was said to the outside of the Xie Jin and others to hear.

Xie Jinyin and the others finally breathed a great sigh of relief when they heard this.

Immediately Xie Jin, Hu Guang, and Yang Rong came in and saluted, “I have met Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di gazed at them and said lightly, “Why are you here if you are not in the Wen Yuan Pavilion?”

Xie Jin said, “I heard that His Majesty’s holy carriage is here ……”

Zhu interrupted him, “Where is the Holy Spirit, and are you going there as well?”

Xie Jin said, “The king and the minister are one, and the minister serves His Majesty, as it should be.”

Zhu Di tiger eyes slightly closed, turned to say, “Shangyuan County magistrate …… Qing can know this person?”

Xie Jin said, “Zhou Kang, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, is just outside the inn to serve the emperor.”

Zhu Di said, “I heard you say that he has an excellent official reputation?”

Xie Jin in a flash, seems to hear a hint of bad taste: “This Ministry of the Ministry.”

Zhu Di said, “I ask you what your impression of him is?”

Xie Jinyin pondered for a moment, said, “This person since the beginning of the appointment, not ever wrong, the governance of Beijing County is especially not easy, I thought …… he should have his strengths.”

Zhu Di said, “Since he is outside, tell him to come in and talk.”

Yizhuoha, listening from the sidelines, tiptoed out, and soon Zhou Kang, full of excitement, followed Yizhuoha in.

Zhou Kang, after all, is only a district magistrate, if not today, may not have a chance to face the saint for the rest of his life, and therefore seem extraordinarily excited, only feel that today as long as the play right, I am afraid that in the future there is a hope of a bright future.

So he bowed down and prostrated himself on the ground, his hips arched high: “I, Zhou Kang, greet Your Majesty.”

“Heads up.”

Zhou Kang had to raise his head up, and then his gaze crossed Zhu’s.

Perhaps Zhu’s gaze was too sharp, so that his eyes couldn’t help but begin to dodge.

Zhu Di said, “I heard that you have an excellent official reputation?”

Zhou Kang suddenly heart ecstasy, choking: “I ……鑷�…… have been blessed by the court’s love, appointed official position, governance of a party of people, I …… have been reading since I was a small child Poetry and books, I know that the talent is shallow, but also know the great principles of the sages, so in this office, conscientious, such as walking on thin ice, really do not dare to let down the grace of the Holy Spirit, but only to do their best to use their lives to make up for the diligence.”

With this response, Zhou Kang felt that it was quite decent, if he was too modest, it would show that he did not have the impression that his name was not true.

However, if he accepted the emperor’s praise, he could not help but make it obvious that he was too proud of himself.

Zhu Di looked at him with odd eyes, then said, “You don’t have to be modest, inside and outside this dynasty, who doesn’t know that you love the people like a son.”

Zhou Kang felt that his heart was about to jump out, love the people like a son, is the highest evaluation of the local parental officer ah!

He trembled, “I …… am ashamed.”

Zhu Di said, “You do not have to be ashamed, I came to ask you, this year’s big cold, the court allocated Shangyuan County’s fuel wood as well as money and grain for the relief of the people in need, now allocated how?”

Zhou Kang then immediately said, “They have all been allocated and distributed, totaling eight hundred and twenty-nine quintals of firewood and one thousand three hundred stones of rice, all of which have been distributed as they should be.”

Zhu added: “Then …… how is the river bank repaired this year?”

Zhou Kang immediately said again, “This year, Songjiang and Suzhou flooding, I am deeply afraid of the harm of flooding, this year, additional levies, repair three river dykes.”

Zhu Di said: “I have seen the zhang, this year, the conscription of seven thousand strong, just strong hard, the court supplied them with food and lodging?”

Zhou Kang said, “I also know the people’s suffering, this is particularly valued, all the strong soldiers, the daily give rice seven taels, and add a piece of winter clothing.”

Zhu lamented, “If it’s really like this, it’s the people of this Shangyuan County who are blessed.”

Zhou Kang said, “It’s all thanks to Your Majesty’s blessings.”
