Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 767: The Deal with Crown Prince Zhu Biao

After understanding Hu Xinyue's thoughts, Master Hu took Hu Xinyue directly back home.

When we walked into the manor and asked, we saw that Zhu Biao and Hu Renbin were drinking tea and chatting in the study.

That's great, let's take this opportunity to have a good chat.

He took Hu Xinyue's hand and walked slowly to the door of the study. When he opened the door, he saw three people chatting animatedly.

"Hey, you guys are having a lively conversation!"

Mr. Hu was happy to see such a scene, but that didn't stop him from making a few jokes.

When everyone saw Master Hu walk in, they immediately stood up and greeted him.

Master Hu waved his hand casually, indicating that everyone should sit down, and then he sat down in his usual main seat.

After pouring himself a cup of tea quickly, Mr. Hu looked at the young men opposite him and said with a smile.

"Prince, there is something I want to discuss with you!"

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be so polite!"

"By the way, uncle, you can just call me Zhu Biao. We are all family here, why make things so awkward?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu shook his head.

"If we are just chatting or I am teaching you, then that is a private matter between you and me. It doesn't matter whether I call you Zhu Biao or Biao'er."

"Given the relationship between me and your family, I can bear being called that!"

"But what we are going to discuss later is a conversation between the Patriarch of the Hu family and Prince Taiming, so it naturally has to be more formal!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he straightened his back unconsciously.

He understood what Master Hu meant.

What we are going to talk about next is not private matters, so there naturally have to be corresponding rules.

This is just like Master Hu and his father, who would shout at Zhu Chongba and Zhu Yuanzhang when there was nothing to do in the palace.

But in fact, when it comes to serious matters, he is definitely addressed as Your Majesty.

Seeing that Zhu Biao understood what he meant, Master Hu smiled and nodded.

"It seems you understand."

"Well, Prince, as the head of the Hu family, I have only one thing to discuss with you today."

"That's the problem of my career after my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, marries into your family!"

When Zhu Biao heard what Master Hu said, he was bewildered.

He first looked at Master Hu, then turned to look at his wife, only to find that his wife was nodding at him with a smile on her face.

He nodded at his wife out of habit.

But when he turned around, he didn't understand at all what the uncle and nephew meant.

Master Hu smacked his lips, glared at Zhu Biao with a look of disappointment, and then said in an unpleasant tone.

"To put it bluntly, I just want to tell you what Yue'er will do in the future!"

"It's impossible that she can only take care of her husband and children and manage your harem, right?"

"How is that different from being in jail?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was startled. He looked at Master Hu with some horror and blurted out.

"Uncle, you are not planning to let Yue'er participate in politics, are you?"

Mr. Hu glared at him unhappily.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Don't say Yue'er doesn't have this idea at all. Even if she does, I will force her to give it up!"

"Do you think participating in politics and discussing politics is a good thing?"

"I can't even hide myself in time, how can I let Yue'er get involved?"

When Zhu Biao heard Master Hu's statement, he immediately started to giggle and scratch his head.

Obviously, he was trying to get away with it by acting stupid.

Fortunately, Mr. Hu did not say much on this issue.

He knew that Zhu Biao was actually relieved at this moment.

After all, the elders of the Queen's family proposed to fight for some power for the Queen. This was only because the relationship between the Hu family and the Zhu family was good enough, and Master Hu was majestic enough in front of Zhu Biao.

If it were anyone else, they would have already turned hostile by now.

Since it is not the most sensitive issue of political participation, the rest is simple. Although Zhu Biao still has the same smiling look as before, the smile on his face is obviously more sincere now.

"Then uncle, why don't you tell me what power you want for Yue'er?"

Mr. Hu didn't hold back and said directly, "In fact, I asked this girl when I went out just now."

"She didn't have any other ideas. She just thought that managing your royal family's assets would be a good use of the skills she had learned."

"I also think this idea is not excessive. After all, it is the rule that men should be responsible for the outside affairs and women for the inside affairs."

"What's more, these industries employ eunuchs and palace maids, so it would be convenient for Yue'er to be in charge!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt completely relieved and nodded without thinking much.

"Uncle, don't worry. If it is just this matter, I can agree to it now."

"From now on, all the royal properties will be decided by Yue'er."

"Of course, this matter can only be done after I ascend the throne and Yue'er becomes the queen. Only then will it be legitimate!"

Master Hu nodded. It was obvious that Zhu Biao's arrangement was not beyond his expectations.

However, if that were all, then there would be no need for Mr. Hu to talk to him so seriously.

What comes next is the key point.

"Prince, I know that although this matter is not very difficult for you, you still have to bear the risk and responsibility."

"In that case, I can't let you work for nothing."

When Master Hu said this, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and spoke.

"You are born into a royal family and will ascend to the throne in the future. For you, these royal industries are more than just about making money."

"Not only should we make a lot of money, but we should also be able to play some other roles to live up to the royal reputation."

"Well, let me think about it these few days and arrange a business for Yue'er that is suitable for a woman to run."

"When the time comes, Queen Yue'er will take the lead, and she will be assisted by the officials and wives of noble families whom you value and trust the most, and the minor leaders below her will be the palace maids and eunuchs."

"But the people who come to work here will be women from ordinary families. They can earn a salary to supplement their family income and spread the reputation of your royal family."

"At the same time, Yue'er can also take advantage of this opportunity to win over some families that are useful to you. How about killing three birds with one stone?"

Zhu Biao was so speechless after hearing what Master Hu said.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Uncle, can this really be done?"

Mr. Hu glared at him unhappily.

"For other people, that's naturally difficult, but for me, is that a problem?"

"The reason why I don't do it myself is that I'm too lazy to do it, and the other reason is simply to be on guard against your shameless and greedy father!"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao felt extremely embarrassed.
