Chapter 40 Small Books

"If you only give you two hundred taels of silver, will you dare to steal the lonely glass?"

Zhu Biao looked at Cui Ergou with disbelief, and couldn't believe it. Someone dared to steal the treasure of the crown prince of the dynasty for 200 taels of silver.

"When you go back to Your Highness, it's difficult to have a full meal in this year. Just 200 taels of silver can support our family of ten, and eat and drink within five years!

Even if we are really beheaded, we will do it as long as we are given 200 taels of silver!"

Speaking of this, Cui Ergou seemed to have become a different person and shouted loudly.

"Oh, you get up first!"

Zhu Biao sighed lightly and said slowly.

Although he has been staying in the palace, Zhu Biao is not unaware of the living conditions of the people in the world.

On the contrary, the emperor often called him to the Ganqing Palace, asking him to check the memorials from various places and personally taught him some local government affairs.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, everything was in trouble.

Among them, the biggest thing is food!

Not to mention remote places, even in Yingtian City nearby, except for those rich and wealthy businessmen, the people at the bottom all lived a life of being in a state of stagnation and had no next meal after the first meal.

Even some of the slightly more wealthy landlords had no more food and could only eat half full when they had two meals a day.

Therefore, I heard that Zhu Zi could grow vegetables in winter, so Zhu Yuanzhang attached so much importance to it. He even directly gave 100 acres of fertile land and placed it next to the prince's farm for easy protection.

"Do you know that this glass greenhouse is used to grow vegetables in winter?"

Zhu Biao stared at Cui Ergou and said.

"What's the use of growing vegetables? It's not our turn to wait for these ordinary people, and they've all been in the mouths of those powerful and wealthy businessmen!"

Thinking of the tragic things in the past, Cui Ergou gritted his teeth and looked cruel.

“Bold!”

This was a bit heartbroken, so some servants on the side were glaring at Cui Ergou!

"Okay, this matter is also the concern of the father and all the ministers. The father will definitely give everyone a full meal!"

Thinking of the court, as long as this matter was mentioned, the father and the ministers looked sad, and Zhu Biao could only barely smile.

"Thank you, the emperor and Your Highness!"

Unexpectedly, when Cui Ergou heard these obviously lack of confidence, he looked excited.

Believe this?

Zhu Zi'an couldn't help but stare at Cui Ergou in a daze. Are the ancients so easy to deceive?

Then, the subsequent matters were handled more simply than Zhu Zian thought.

A guard walked out of the prince's side and interrogated Cui Ergou in detail.

Of course, in Zhu Zi'an's eyes, he was interrogating from beginning to end.

Since Cui Ergou was born, he has done so many unethical things when he was a child, and until now, all the big and small things that happened during this period have been asked in detail.

Then, in order to prevent the evening, someone would come to steal glass.

Zhu Biao also specially arranged for people in the village to take turns to guard every glass greenhouse.

At night, it wasn't particularly cold inside the glass greenhouse.

Moreover, the best aspect of people in this era is special unity.

The people in the village had already regarded the two glass greenhouses next to the village as from their own village. When they heard that someone dared to hit the glass greenhouse, they all held their breath and rushed to guard them, swearing to catch the thieves who dared to come and break their legs!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who returned to the palace, also took the information collected by Erhu. The more he looked, the more serious he looked!

Finally, he was furious.

"I'm so brave. I dare to even make decisions about the prince's things. These people are becoming more and more arrogant!"

"Erhu, arrange a team of people to monitor the glass greenhouse at all times. If someone dares to do it, follow the clues and pull out the people behind the scenes. No matter who it is, if you dare to move, you will never forgive me!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that there was a murderous intent in his mind that could not be suppressed.

"I will receive the order!"

Erhu hurriedly clasped his fists and quickly withdrew from the hall.

...

Zhu's mansion is the big mansion that Zhu Biao gave to Zhu Zi's Anxun.

After returning to Zhu's mansion, Zhu Zi'an sat down, was stunned for a long time, then raised his head and said to Xuan Pingzi beside him.

"Xuan Pingzi, go find some mercury for us!"

"yes!"

Xuan Pingzi answered with the sound.

For ordinary people, mercury is a rare thing. However, for Taoists, mercury is a common thing.

In less than a while, Xuan Pingzi walked in with a can of mercury.

Then, the two of them brought mercury to the side house, an independent courtyard with six rooms.

Master Yang and his craftsmen from Wudang live here.

"I've seen the little real person!"

Seeing Zhu Zi'an, Master Yang quickly put down the file in his hand, stood up, and bowed with his fists.

"Master Yang, you're polite!"

They are all old acquaintances, and Zhu Zian was not too polite, so he found a place and sat down.

"Master Yang, how many pieces of glass we brought to Wudang are left?"

Master Yang has long been accustomed to his style of doing things with Xiao Zhenren. He first took out a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Zi'an and Xuan Pingzi.

Then he replied slowly, "Report to the little real person, there are only three pieces of glass transported from Wudang, and one piece is broken into several small pieces..."

"So much more?"

Zhu Zi'an showed surprise on his face and hurriedly said, "That's great! Then please let Master Yang keep one of them unmoved, and the other two large pieces of glass and a few small pieces are all made into mirrors!"

"yes!"

Master Yang did not ask much about this and answered directly.

"By the way, Master Yang, after these mirrors are completed, they will be given to the emperor and the queen, so the patterns can be made of dragons and phoenixes!"

Zhu Zi'an continued to think of something!

"The Emperor and the Queen?"

Hearing this, Master Yang became slightly serious, "Don't worry, little real person, we will definitely make the mirror beautiful!"

"Haha, we can't rest assured about Master Yang's craftsmanship."

Zhu Zian laughed loudly. Master Yang's craftsmanship can be said to be a teacher since he was a child. He is more at ease with Master Yang than anyone else.

After arranging this, Zhu Zi'an returned to his room.

Take out the small notebook that I recorded and turn it through page by page.

If someone comes in, they will find that there are small characters densely packed with small characters on this small notebook. The strangest thing is that these small characters are not only different from the handwriting of the Ming Dynasty, but also from all previous dynasties.

This small notebook was written by Zhu Zi'an in his spare time, and in his spare time in Wudang, he was worried that he would record some of the techniques and things from his previous life as time went by.

Take out any technology and things recorded on each page, and you can make the times change dramatically.
