Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Tao suddenly remembered that he was just a small villa owner, and the person opposite him was just his own guy. It seemed a bit strange to talk about important national affairs here.

"I said, why are you so obsessed with this Confucianism? You don't look like an accountant, making you look like some Hanlin who came from a two-ranked Jinshi."

Fang Xiaoru's face turned red and white, he thought to himself.

"What you said is good. What kind of guy are you? Of course, you are a Hanlin who came from the top two rankings, and you are also from the top two famous biography."

But he couldn't say this in person, after all, the teacher Song Lian had already told him for a long time before bringing him here.

In a word, the identity cannot be revealed, nor can Zhu Yuanzhang and his true identity be revealed.

So after hearing Zhu Tao's words, although I felt a little awkward, I had no choice but to be obedient and not to say anything else.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know when he appeared at the door, and then clapped his hands and laughed and said to Zhu Tao.

"Tao'er, your judgment really opened my father's eyes, but Fang Zhaocai has been with his father for several years, and he can be regarded as a capable person. This time it can be regarded as giving him a lot of insight. He also knows people There are people outside, and there is a sky outside the sky."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden appearance, Fang Xiaoru's most instinctive reaction was to kneel down and kowtow to salute, but thinking of Song Lian's instructions, he had to bite the bullet and say it.

"The master is back. The teachings the young master gave me just now really benefited me a lot. In the future, I will do things in a down-to-earth manner and live up to the teachings of the young master."

In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang meant was just to let Fang Xiaoru come here to learn more, to know how shallow he is, and to restrain himself and do things well in the future.

But Zhu Tao suddenly had an idea. He greeted Zhu Yuanzhang first, and then said with a smile.

"Father, the debate with Fang Zhaocai just now gave me an idea. It's a bit wasteful to let him be the accountant. There is a shortage of a private school teacher in my academy, so let him come over. The monthly fee is 30 taels, which is much more than working as an accountant with you."

In fact, simply speaking, this month's monthly payment is really too much.

You must know that the annual salary of a first-rank minister is only 150 taels, and with the subsidy received by the State Commerce Department, it is only about 500 taels.

But in Zhujiazhuang, an ordinary private school teacher can give 360 ​​taels of monthly money per year, which is really something that can't be expected elsewhere.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, then said to Zhu Tao with a smile.

"Tao'er is right. People should make the best use of their talents. I think it's a waste for Fang Zhaocai to follow me. It's good to be a teacher in your academy. Let's talk about it after a year or two."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Xiaoru. After Fang Xiaoru heard this, it was as if the blood on his face was drained, and his face turned pale.

what is happening?I am a young and proud Jinshi of the new department, and now I am a fourth-rank official of the East Palace, a proper member of the princeling team.

If the prince Zhu Biao can successfully take over the imperial power from Zhu Yuanzhang and become the next emperor, it is reasonable for him, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, to be able to seal borders and join the cabinet.

Now all these great prospects are in vain. I was sent to Zhujiazhuang to be a teacher in a private school, not to mention 360 taels a year, but 600 taels. Can I get my future in exchange?
Fang Xiaoru is almost completely hopeless now, and now he especially regrets his nonsense in the court, and he especially regrets coming to Zhujiazhuang to debate with Zhu Tao.

He could only make the last attempt, stammering and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Old, master, I still want to do something with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him directly.

"Could it be that you don't want to be the teacher of this private school? What you said just now is the words of the sages, the way of Confucius and Mencius. When it's your turn to preach and teach the sages, why don't you want to? You are a good gentleman. Name!"

Although the tone was very gentle, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes obviously gave Fang Xiaoru absolute aura suppression.

Fang Xiaoru knew in his heart that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and it was completely impossible to continue to change it.

I am a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and now I am a leader in the literary world of the younger generation of Ming Dynasty, but I want to nest in this small Zhujiazhuang and be a teacher.

Now if someone brings a urinal, I'm afraid Fang Xiaoru will really plunge into it and drown himself.

In fact, Zhu Tao didn't start any debate with him just now, but just raised a point of view, which killed him to pieces.

Fang Xiaoru had to admit that in terms of ability alone, he and Zhu Tao were not on the same level at all, so they couldn't be compared at all.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Now let's ask you whether you should go to sea to do business. Do you have any opinions now?"

Fang Xiaoru knew that he had no way out now, so he could only give it a go.

In fact, if he is stubborn now, he may give Zhu Yuanzhang the impression that this person can stick to his views, although pedantic but useful.

However, if he followed the wind immediately, he would probably be abandoned. The character of Emperor Hongwu was already well known by many ministers.

Fang Xiaoru gritted his teeth and said based on this point.

"Master, I have now convinced the Young Master's family. If we want Ming Dynasty to be strong and every common people to be rich, we really need to do business. But if we lose money in doing business at sea, what should we do? We should also plan. Get to this point!"

"The waves on the sea are rough, and even the direction of the wind is unpredictable. Under the unpredictable situation, if something happens, then our family's business will lose money. You should be aware of this!"

After talking for a long time, these are the most useful words that Fang Xiaoru said. Although those words were a lot of talk just now, they are actually some unnutritious nonsense.

However, what he said was correct, the sea is rough and windy, even if it is a treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be safe.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he had no courage, how could he build thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, shine a bright light, and resplendent the whole world.

Facing Fang Xiaoru's questioning, Zhu Yuanzhang replied firmly.

"There's no need to worry about this. Since it's a business, don't be afraid of any risks. Even if you fail, you'll recover for a few years and start over again. We don't believe that you will always fail in everything you do. Once you succeed, you will have a bright future!"

In the words, one can still vaguely see his lofty ambitions when he conquered the world.
