Zhu Xu left the palace and walked slowly on the street.

This summer is hotter than last year. The cement floor burns my feet. Every step I take is like walking on a soldering iron. Without a trace of wind, the air is hot and it is uncomfortable to breathe.

Cao Huachun was a little fat, sweating profusely, his eyes were blurred, and he kept wiping his sweat.

The guards behind them were more calm, even though they were wearing more and their clothes were thicker.

Zhu Xu likes to walk quietly on the street and feel popularity so that she can feel a little real.

He sat too high and could no longer see the real situation, so he would find opportunities every now and then.

"I want me to tell you, going hunting this summer is crazy!"

"Yes, those parents and the lords are all seventy-eighty. If there is any good news, there will be a good show..."

"No, this time it is said that I had to go to the third grade or above, but I was afraid that the government would be revised. If all the third grade or above were going to go, if something really happened, it would be a lot of fun..."

"Not to say, I heard that someone is going to make trouble. Think about it, this big hunter hasn't been there for many years. If something really happens, there will definitely be a good show..."

Zhu Xu listened and looked up. This was a small restaurant with many people sitting on it, all of whom were loud and a little unscrupulous.

His expression was slightly strange. The outside world's views on the court and his views on him have always been polarized. It has always been the thing that some people are most passionate about. However, this is the first time he has seen it so blatantly.

Zhu Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Now, this is how it looks outside?"

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said: "There has been a large reform of the imperial examination recently. In recent years, there are more than 100,000 scholars who have been excluded from the imperial examination. They occasionally complain, and the cabinet also pretended that they didn't hear it."

Zhu Xu closed the fan in his hand, thoughtful, and then said, "Go up, sit down, and rest for a while."

Cao Huachun glanced at him again and followed Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu went straight to the second floor and sat down at a table not far from several people. Only after looking at it was a strange look. There were not only a few young men in their early twenties on the table, but also two women with their backs facing him, sitting together with veils, but they didn't say anything. From the back, they were a graceful woman in her twenties.

The people at the table looked at Zhu Xu and didn't care. One of the men said, "This big hunt is said to cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels. I don't know how many disaster victims can be saved, but they are wasted..."

"No, I usually say that I am frugal, how much money I save in this or that, and I want us not to eat and drink, live a life of thrift. Look, the court will not know how much wasted this time..."

"It's not stopping. The court released a rumor, saying that the emperor was going to go to Jiangnan again. Think about it, the emperor left the palace and the imperial carriage accompanied him, how much money he got with every move. This is simply a waste of money..."

"You don't know. The Ministry of Works has used tens of millions of taels of silver in recent years. It paved roads, built bridges, and thoroughfares all day long. Although this is a virtue, I don't see when it was. Now the disaster in the entire Ming Dynasty is like fire, and it is still a waste of such a big fanfare..."

Obviously, a group of passionate scholars were talking about political affairs and had considerable prejudice against government affairs, and the common word was mainly criticized.

Zhu Xu picked up the herbal tea on the waiter, drank it gently, and listened with interest.

Cao Huachun sat silently beside Zhu Xu and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are all ignorant scholars, you don't need to pay attention to it."

Zhu Xu smiled, said nothing, and continued to listen quietly.

"Speaking of this, there is another thing that makes people very popular. You should also know that chambers of commerce are coming out like rain in the country. I don't know how many people don't want to farm and do business. I heard that nine out of ten people in the Shenlong Mansion are all ridiculous with foreigners and the world's romance..."

"I did hear that silk, porcelain, cloth, and tea are now lined up to deliver it. The ships there are coming and going all day long, and the goods are like mountains. How can it go like this?"

"The disaster is already everywhere, and the people cannot eat and wear clothes. Can we still grow food in business?! The court kept not caring about it, encouraged it, and introduced many policies, saying that it was a 'reversal' business environment, which was extremely ridiculous..."

Zhu Xu listened, his smile gradually faded, and he rubbed the teacup in his hand, and felt thoughtful.

Although newspapers have been spread out in major cities, you don’t just listen to you after writing. Some people are used to a certain direction and can’t resist it no matter how hard they try.

‘There is also a need to increase publicity efforts.’ Zhu Xu said to himself, if you can save one, you still have to save one.

At this moment, one of the women suddenly spoke, "I don't think so. The Ministry of Works' project is to build bridges and pave roads on the surface, but in fact, it feeds many victims and irrigates how much farmland has it been? This is a grand event for generations. How can there be a saying of wasting money and food?"

"I am Ryukyu established a country with merchants. If the state bans the sea again, I may not be able to last long. Speaking of big hunting, if I am Ryukyu, if I am so martial, how could I be bullied by the Japanese three times and four times?"

As the woman finished speaking, the noise at the table suddenly came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at the woman.

Perhaps because he felt that the group of people was not enough to hit him, another woman said crisply, “Our lady is right.”

These young people talk big here, and in addition to venting their dissatisfaction, the most important thing is to show off in front of this woman.

Now listening to her completely different views, everyone felt that a mouthful of blood was stuck in their throats and was about to spurt out.

According to common sense, isn’t everyone talking with one heart and one virtue on the same topic? This way, guests can have fun and have the next time.

Miss, how can we answer when you say this? How can we answer the next time?

The men didn't know what their expressions were on their faces, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

At this moment, the woman suddenly stood up, walked towards Zhu Xu's table under the public eye, and bent her body slightly and said, "Shang Jing has met Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, looked at her exposed eyes, and said curiously: "Did you recognize me long ago?"

Shang Jing bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked at her, her heart turned around and said, "Sit down."

Shang Jing couldn't see the expression and sat down as she said.

As soon as she sat down, the four young men behind her followed, and the four of them surrounded Zhu Xu and looked up and down.

"I don't know the name of the young master? Where is the Zun Mansion?" A young man who looked like the leader asked with a polite look on his face and could not hide his arrogance.

The other three people had almost the same expression, and kept scanning Zhu Xu.

Shang Jing's eyes kept looking at Zhu Xu, and no one else was in her eyes.

Zhu Xu didn't look at these people. He listened to their questions and said casually: "The surname is Zhu, the largest one in the east of the city."

The leading young man was stunned. There were too many large yards in the east of the city. Who dared to say that his family was the biggest?

The others frowned and thought hard, as if filtering the size of the yards of the big men in the east of the city.

But Shang Jing pursed her lips, as if she was holding back her smile.

The biggest thing in the east of the city is not the yard, but the palace!
