Perhaps it was because he felt the helplessness of living in the palace with a tight financial situation, or because Zhu Zi'an's words made Zhu Biao begin to identify with merchants!

In short, the next business of opening a shop is progressing very smoothly.

Zhu Zi'an contributes money, Zhu Biao contributes effort!

All officials from Yingtian City cooperate very well both openly and secretly!

In less than two days, a three-story row of small houses, not far from the first floor, was bought by Zhu Zi'an for 10,000 taels of silver!

Then, according to Zhu Zi'an's idea, a slight transformation was carried out!

"Second brother!"

Zhu Zi'an was sitting on the first floor, the private room on the fifth floor, staring blankly at the renovation of the row of shops in front of the left.

Zhu Biao pushed the door straight and walked in. Under Zhu Zi'an's leadership, Zhu Biao's familiarity with the first floor was far more familiar than the palace!

I don’t know what kind of expression Zhu Yuanzhang would look like if he knew it?

"Hmm? Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that Zhu Biao's face was a little solemn, Zhu Zi'an was a little confused and asked.

"But what happened?"

"Second brother, I wonder when I will leave for the Ministry of Works?"

Zhu Biao looked helpless, as if this cousin was not only a delicious person, but also a forgetful person.

"Ministry of Works?"

Zhu Zian was stunned, and he was not familiar with the Ministry of Works!

However, in a blink of an eye, I remembered what I said to the cheapest uncle in the palace.

So, he hurriedly said, "Let me prepare something, I can go early tomorrow morning!"

"Then let's reply to my father like this!"

Zhu Biao bowed his hand and made an exception and did not leave after dinner. He pushed open the door and left in a hurry.

Lying on the window and looking at the energetic Zhu Biao on the street, Zhu Zi'an inexplicably had an illusion that he was too decadent!

However, when thinking about his current state, he would not have to worry about food or clothing. He was covered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he would feel sorry for him if he was not corrupt!

Zhu Zi'an smiled and looked into the distance.

Decay is also a kind of enjoyment of life~~

At noon, I still returned to Wuyi Lane after lunch.

I punched a set of fists in the yard and felt sweating all over. Then I entered the study, picked up the paper and pen, and started to lower my head to write!

According to the speed of the decoration of the shop, it will be opened in less than ten days.

During this period, Zhu Zi'an had to make sure that the goods to be sold in these three floors of shops.

Then, you have to prepare for your knowledge of going to the Ministry of Works tomorrow!

It took a long time to not use it, and Zhu Zi'an was already a little unfamiliar, so he could only open the small notebook and review it again!

Early the next morning.

Zhu Zian had just arrived at the first floor when he saw that Zhu Biao was already sitting on the table.

"Second brother!"

"Your Highness, it's early!"

Zhu Zi'an asked politely and sat down.

Then, the kitchen served the meal in a hurry.

As soon as I saw it, I was ready!

Zhu Zian couldn't help but look at Zhu Biao, which made Zhu Biao feel a little embarrassed, and explained: "The Ministry of Works is a bit far away, so I can't delay my work!"

"Poor Nine Nine Six!"

Zhu Zi'an lamented.

"Second brother, what does 996 mean?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing is wrong!"

Zhu Zian shook his head and lowered his head to eat with a look of gratitude.

In Zhu Zi'an's mind, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were the real overtime dogs! This is also the reason why Zhu Zi'an did not want to get involved in the government affairs.

Under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang, the workaholic emperor, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have any holidays in a year except for some holidays.

Basically, it’s just dawn in the morning and you have to start work. But it’s dark before you get off work!

Moreover, in a year, unless there is any forced matter, the lower-level officials can ask for leave. Otherwise, they will basically face heavy government affairs every day.

This situation is even more miserable than the 996 overtime dog in another Suhui world in Zhu Zi'an's mind!

After dinner, Zhu Zi'an rushed to the Ministry of Works under Zhu Biao's leadership!

Yingtian City, the six ministries, five government offices and military affairs offices are all concentrated in Dongcheng.

Zhu Biao led Zhu Zi'an along Chongde Street and through Hongwu Gate, which was Qianbulang. The office here was based on the layout of the East and West Wushulang. The civil servants were in the East Qianbulang and the military officers were in the West Qianbulang.

The Qianbulang in the East, from south to north, is the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Zongren Mansion. The Qianbulang in the West, is the Houfu, the Central Mansion, the Front Mansion, the Right Mansion, the Left Mansion, and the Central Mansion.

Go north along Qianbulang, there is Chang'an Gate, and then Chengtian Gate. Then go in and walk a little further, and the Meridian Gate, and enter the Forbidden City!

However, today Zhu Zi'an's destination is the first Dongqianbulang, the Ministry of Industry!

When Zhu Biao and Zhu Zi'an entered the Ministry of Works, no one in the Ministry of Works seemed to have learned that the prince was coming, and there was only a clever guard. After seeing the prince's waist card, he ran to the government office with a panic expression!

Before Zhu Zi'an and Zhu Biao sat in the hall, three officials rushed over in a hurry.

"I have met Your Highness the Crown Prince!" "I have met Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing Prince Zhu Biao as another Taoist priest of the same age, a trace of doubt and surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man in charge, but he still quickly paid homage to the prince!

"Haha, please get up quickly, Lord Shan!"

Zhu Biao quickly smiled without any disrespect.

The old man in charge was Shan Anren, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, and the other two were Zhang Yunwen and Yang Yi.

Shan Anren was also a hero who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.

In fact, although Shan Anren was a civil servant, he stood up as a military general. At first, when a war turmoil occurred in his hometown, Shan Anren summoned Yi soldiers to defend the village. Later, he met King Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu and was impressed by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he led his subordinates to join him.

However, afterwards, the Ming Dynasty was newly established and there was a lack of civil servants, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked Shan Anren, who was born in a scholarly family, to change careers and become civil servants.

"I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince visited?"

Shan Anren asked with confusion after getting up.

"Haha, Mr. Shan is polite. I am here for the secret recipe of steel!" Zhu Biao replied with a smile on his face.

"Forgive the old minister to be stupid, is this person the one?..."

As he said that, a glimmer flashed in Shan Anren's eyes and he looked at Zhu Zi'an.

Although he is over 60 years old, Shan Anren is still full of energy and his words are loud, which makes Zhu Zian feel like facing a veteran!

"But this is Wudang Xiaozhenren!"

Zhu Biao introduced, "This is Mr. Shan, the Minister of Works. Don't think that Mr. Shan is the Minister of Works, he is a civil servant. However, in his early years, Mr. Shan was a veteran general who followed his father and conquered the world!"

Sure enough, when he heard this, Shan Anren's old-fashioned and stiff face became much softer!

Zhu Zi'an quickly saluted.

"Master Shan is polite!"

"Haha, we've seen the little real person!"

After saying hello to each other, Shan Anren invited Zhu Biao and Zhu Zi'an to sit down.

After someone made tea, Shan Anren said directly. "I have heard that the little real man in Wudang is extraordinary and has the appearance of an old immortal in Wudang. I have seen him today, and he is indeed extraordinary!"

"Yes, the glass greenhouse in the south of Xiaozhen City makes me even more ashamed..."

Then, the good words from these three senior officials of the Ministry of Works were thrown into Zhu Zi'an in a basket, which made Zhu Zi'an confused.
Chapter completed!
