Mrs. Gu looked at the mountain of manuscripts and looked at her husband's ecstatic appearance.

I have to say that this was completely invisible to Zhou Tanzhi in the past.

Even though he was on the list of gold and even entered the Hanlin Academy, he was proud, but Zhou Tanzhi asked himself that if he said that he had achieved anything in the Hanlin Academy, he was still confused.

After that, I went to Nanjing and kept my spare time every day. Although I boasted of being a pure stream, I was actually very unsuccessful.

But now, it is completely different, this is a real achievement.

Thinking of this workshop of millions of taels of silver, in my own hands, not only can my family be worry-free, but I can get millions of wealth with a dignified manner, but I can even create a huge career with my own hands. So what if I just raise pigs?

This is how people are. When raising pigs at first, Zhou Tanzhi was extremely repulsive in his heart, but if he had dealt with pigs too much, perhaps because of his constant psychological hints or changing his position, he also thought that raising pigs might not be a despicable thing.

Seeing that his husband was like this, he had not seen him for a long time, or perhaps because he had a support from his family, he burst into tears and laughed happily: "Yes, this is all knowledge. Things that others cannot do, things that others cannot accomplish, and things that others cannot accomplish must rely on his husband. Then... this is a great question. Just say that being an official is, then what's so great about it? There are so many people in the world who are officials, but they can't raise them... No, when it comes to this, it is necessary for you. This is the real knowledge in my body and mind. Others can't learn it even if they want to learn it."

Zhou Tanzhi sighed at this moment: "A husband is a person who is guilty after all, but life will eventually be unfulfilled. In the past, if you don't understand this principle and feel regretful, you can't help but want to make yourself more fulfilled. After marrying a virtuous wife, you want a son. If you have a son, you can inherit the incense. You also think that you can't show your ambitions. Even if you are on the list, you still feel that your career is not very proud. Now it's ridiculous. Cherishing the things you are doing now is more important than pursuing those unrealistic things."

He said, and said with great enthusiasm: "Yes, I have to report to my mentor, just report to my mentor."

As he said that, he rushed to Wang Ao's house in a hurry.

Wang Ao had already gotten up, and when he heard the movements next door, he was inconvenient to disturb him.

When the couple came in, they both bowed down. Zhou Tanzhi reported the matter and then said, "Mr., the teacher also accounts for half of the merits of raising pigs. The students did not dare to collect all the 20% of the shares given by Liu Wenzhi, so they divided them into two parts and begged the teacher to accept them."

For Zhou Tanzhi now, this world has opened a new door for him.

Silver...he no longer has to worry.

On the contrary, my mentor suffered a lot here because of his guilt. Many of the research were completed by my mentor and myself. Therefore, my mentor would have to accept this shareholding no matter what.

Wang Ao only glanced at him and kept silent.

Gu, who was beside him, said, "I have always heard from my husband that his teacher is noble and honest, always honest and self-confident, and regards money as clouds. But this is pure and innocent money. If his teacher does not accept it, he will be worried that his husband will be uneasy."

When Wang Ao heard this, he finally sighed and said, "Others say that I regard gold and silver as dirt, but in fact, how is this happening? Who in the world is not good at gorgeous clothes and horses, and who doesn't like living in a mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, and doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry? This is human nature. If you don't love these, then this person is either hypocritical or crazy."

Wang Ao said again: "The same is true for me. I not only like gold and silver, but also dream of it. Who doesn't know the benefits of gold and silver? Otherwise, there are thousands of people in this world who work hard and some take risks, not all for this gold and silver thing? Although I love you so much, I can barely be honest and self-righteous, not because I have transcended, but... I keep telling myself that there is something more precious in this world than gold and silver, that is morality. A gentleman loves money, but needs to take it with wiseness."

After a pause, Wang Ao continued: "But Zi'an has too many shares, so I'll give you 20% of this share. I'm old. I'm the one who contributes the most to raising pigs and studying pig habits these days. Although I'm also helping, I haven't helped me."

"If I give too much, it will be unreasonable. Zi'an will feel uneasy. Wouldn't I feel uneasy?"

Even if it is 20% of the shares in Zhou Tanzhi's hands, it will be more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is already a huge fortune.

For Wang Ao, this is enough to make him become a rich family from a house with no walls.

Zhou Tanzhi also knew his teacher's character, but he was afraid that no matter how much he said, his teacher would not be happy, so he had to kowtow: "Since that's the case, then the students should obey the teacher's orders."

Wang Ao sighed again, and was about to say something.

But I heard someone shouting outside, "Come and pick you up, Your Majesty will arrive."

Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi looked at each other.

Both of them saw the look of surprise on each other's faces, and for some reason, His Majesty suddenly came.

However, Wang Ao quickly regained his calmness and said frankly: "Your descend, let me go and welcome you immediately."

Zhou Tanzhi was a little nervous, but after hearing Wang Bi's words, he quickly responded.

Gu was also surprised, and then hurriedly hid in Zhou Tanzhi's house. She was a woman and was inconvenient to meet her.

…………

Wang Ao led Zhou Tanzhi and the two quickly walked out of the pigpen, but even near the pigpen, it was still smelly.

Therefore, Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi deliberately distanced themselves a little further, so as not to get involved in this vulgarity.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was approaching among the stars and the moon. Fang Jifan heard that His Majesty had arrived at the West Mountain. Although he had just settled down, he immediately rushed forward.

After Fang Jifan returned to Xishan, Wang Jinyuan immediately came to report what happened in the Liu family's business.

This surprised Fang Jifan. Zhou Tanzhi, a slut, is really good at raising pigs?

At this time, when he arrived in front of the Holy Lord, Fang Jifan looked very wise and smiled at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi also gave him the expected smile.

Then, one after another, the two led the ministers and eunuchs to Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi.

Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi immediately bowed down, but before they could speak... Emperor Hongzhi said first: "Let's go and take me to see."

He said in his mouth, and his hand pointed to the pigpen.

As a result, Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi were confused.

Your Majesty meant to enter...where?

The two of them looked at each other, which also made Liu Jian and others sigh.

Alas... What a chic character the prince was at the beginning, and his style made people look up to him.

But now... I was dressed in rags and dirty all over. Even if I stood far away, I could still smell a strange smell.

This is a failure to protect the evening.

It is really sad that I have to suffer such hardship when I am old.

Emperor Hongzhi's orders were not allowed to refuse. Although Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi felt something was wrong, they still obediently led Emperor Hongzhi into the pigpen.

Emperor Hongzhi looked calm, but he was used to being pampered and superior. Even if he was "frugal", he would never have been to such a place in his life.

The closer he got to the pigpen, the more stench he became, and he felt disgusting, but Emperor Hongzhi endured it.

Emperor Hongzhi took the lead in entering the pigpen, but found that there was no pig inside, so he said in surprise: "Where is the pig?"

Wang Ao, who was following Emperor Hongzhi, said, "Your Majesty, the pig has been slaughtered."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and sighed: "It's a pity, I still want to come and have a look."

Then, he looked back at Wang Ao and said, "Master Wang, I heard that your family has been here recently. You are old and have retired. Why do you have to be so mean to harm yourself? Alas, I can't sleep or eat when I see you like this, so I come to see you. If you have any grievances, you can say it."

Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi looked at each other.

For Wang Ao, the reason why he came here was just a silence in his heart.

Of course, I am also worried about the next week.

You know, Zhou Tanzhi was convicted and punished to raise pigs.

At that time, Wang Ao felt that it was a bolt from the blue and felt sorry for this disciple.

But now... the situation is obviously different.

If you don’t punish Zhou Tanzhi to raise pigs, how can Zhou Tanzhi be today? Now this proud disciple is about to fly high. If you don’t want your Majesty to let Zhou Tanzhi raise pigs, wouldn’t this let your disciples miss this huge opportunity in vain?

therefore……

Wang Aoboi bowed sincerely and said, "Your Majesty is so concerned about the old minister. The old minister is so grateful. As for the pig farming, it is the old minister who comes voluntarily. There is nothing wrong with raising pigs. There is a whole world of all kinds of businesses. If no one raises pigs, where can we eat meat? The old minister is here without anyone to control it, so he is still happy. The so-called honey and the arsenic of his enemies. In the eyes of others, this move of the old minister is really a polite and can't help but be ridiculed. But in the eyes of the old minister, it is just doing what he wants to do. If this causes any criticism, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

When Liu Jian, Xie Qian and Zhang Sheng heard this, they were all surprised.

It was at this time that the ministers who followed him became even more silent.

Fang Jifan stood aside and said happily: "That's right, Your Majesty, my son always said that no matter whether the profession is high or low, is it nobler than raising pigs? They are also beneficial to the world. Everyone has their own ambitions, and only secular people have just stuck to this. Don't you know that if no one comes to raise pigs, how can Your Majesty and the princes in the court eat? The people regard food as the heavens. With Your Majesty's efforts to govern, my Ming Dynasty is already flourishing. In my son's heart, my greatest wish is that the people can eat a bite of meat all year round. This is the original intention of my son. I didn't expect that the prince would be like his son's ministers. I also thought about it this way. The prince is really admirable."

Wang Ao: "…"

Doesn’t this guy know why he came to raise pigs?

Thinking that he was taken advantage of by this dog again, Wang Ao was a little unwilling to accept it.

That's not what this dog said at the beginning.

But when he reached this point, he had nothing to say. He couldn't be angry again and ruined the good things of his disciples.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with appreciation.

I never thought that Jifan had such ambition. I was the emperor, but I didn’t expect that, right, good, when it comes to sharing the worries of the king, Jifan’s vassal state can be regarded as a model for the world.

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on Zhang Sheng, and then he said with some meaning: "But I heard that the prince raises pigs here because it was forced by Fang Qing's family..."

Zhang Sheng is not stupid, why don’t you understand that this is directed at him?

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng immediately blushed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I heard the rumors in the market, and I heard them from the market."

This statement was clearly the room Zhang Sheng left for himself.

Don’t say that I spread rumors and cause trouble, I heard it too, no wonder I am.

Emperor Hongzhi ignored it, turned his eyes and looked at Wang Ao and said, "Is this true for Wang Qing's family?"

Wang Ao said seriously: "I have retired. If it were really forced by the Duke of Qi, how could I swallow my anger? Your Majesty, there is no such thing as this. All of this is willing by the old minister. Please...be careful."
